Chapter4)

"The hell?! Get away from him!" Rowen jumped up drawing the attention of the shadow. Rowen swung his fist at the being only to fall right through the thing. Rowen stared at where this creature had been and hadn't noticed Sai calling his name. Sai gently touched Rowen's shoulder and Rowen snapped his head around to look at him.

"What were you screaming at?" Sai asked still tired and very worried.

"You didn't see it?" Rowen asked alarmed.

"See what?" Rowen stared at Sai in surprise.

"Never mind just go back to sleep." Rowen shook his head. This isn't right. How could Sai never see this thing? More how can I stop it? Rowen thought sitting right next to Sai. He didn't understand how he could have fallen through it unless it was an illusion or something.

Sai stared at Rowen instead of sleeping. Rowen had seemed very alarmed and then told him it was nothing? He was hiding something and Sai had to find out what.

"Rowen?" Sai sat up pulling his chin on his knees.

"Yeah?" Rowen didn't look at Sai, which worried him.

"What's wrong? And don't say nothing, I know your hiding something." Sai stated. Rowen just stared out at the sea trying to ignore Sai comment. Of course something was bothering him. He was stuck on an island with the one person he was head over heels for but couldn't touch because this person was his best friend's lover. A deep growl came from up the beach away, drawing their attention. "What's over there." Sai stood up and started to walk over to the source. Rowen watched Sai walk to the source. Sai slowed his walk as silence over took the beach, his eyes darting from side to side. A small rustle in the forest caught his attention.

"Who's there?" Sai whispered, wiping around. Rowen straightened up watching Sai and the area around him carefully. Sai walked cautiously forward a bit more unaware of the thing slinking behind him. "Ahh!" Sai screamed as several vines wrapped around his arms, legs, and waist dragging him towards the forest.

"Sai!" Rowen yelled scrambling to his feet. Rowen pulled his armor ball from his pocket, carrying it around was a habit for all the ronins. The vines had lifted Sai off the ground dangling him upside down.

"Rowen help." Sai called struggling against the vines. Rowen ran faster now that he was in his sub-armor. Rowen tore through the vines ripping though that latched on to him off. Rowen grasped Sai's hand as more vine tried to pulling them into the forest and suffocating them as well.

"Let him go damn it." Rowen growled finding Sai other hand. Rowen ripped the vines off Sai's arms and then Sai began to help Rowen free him. Both scrambled away from the forest as the vines started to retreat. "That's what was bothering me. There's something evil here and it trying to kill us." Rowen gasped holding on to Sai. "It tried to kill you while you were a sleep." Sai looked at Rowen a little surprised. Why didn't he tell me earlier?

"Rowen... Maybe we should find some place where it would be easier to defend our selves." Sai said and Rowen nodded in agreement. "Um.... Rowen could you let me go now." Sai smiled, he wouldn't have minded the position but he was seeing Sage and wasn't sure if Rowen was into boys. Rowen blushed and let go of Sai.

"Sorry Sai.." Rowen chucked nervously.

----------------------------(Where the other Ronins are.)----------------------------

Sage sighed and look over at Ryo he was starting to get restless. Ryo looked over at Sage noticing his restlessness as they cruised along the water in the boat.

"We'll find them." Ryo said calmly. Sage looked over with an I know look on his face.

"You've said that a lot since we left Mia and Kento... I just hope we find them soon... Something is just telling me that they're not in a great spot right now, and if anything happened to Sai or Rowen.." Sage rambled a bit drowning off at the end. He did need time though to think with out Sai around mainly because of Ryo. Sage wasn't sure why but thought pertaining to Ryo that usually he had of Sai were raising in his mind. It was probably because of Sai's absents and a built up sexual need. Or so he hoped. Sage really didn't want to hurt Sai more than he had already, he just needed to talk with Sai really badly. Hopefully they'd find them soon before he did something he'd regret or before his feeling of in pending doom over whelmed him.
