"Well the latest death was of an old man. He was born in 2000 and he died in 3593, so he was fifteen hundred and ninety-three years old. But that was because he died recently in an attack by the dynasty, so we don't really know. Myself and the others were born in 1969 and we're older than that man so we have a longer life span than just fifteen hundred and besides I'm over sixteen hundred now." Answered Makoto true fully.
"Um…what about Yulie and I? Are we there?" asked Mia.
Makoto looked to her and said, "Yeah actually you are. You live with Kayura and the warlords because you married Anubis."
"He comes back to life!" exclaimed the group surprised.
"Yes, lets just say we figure out a way with Kayura's help." Replied Makoto.
"What about me!" exclaimed Yulie with a smile.
"Um…you live in the palace with us." Was her reply.
"Do I have any children?" asked Mia.
"You have one son. He's eleven years old and his name is Ryon Michael Koji-Doji. You and Anubis decided to name him after Ryo. He is the heir to the Cruelty Armor."
She stood up and said, "Now, we must get going! We can't waist anymore time!"
The guys donned their sub-armors back on and looked to Makoto for directions.
"Make a circle around me and Mia, Yulie, and White Blaze need to be in the middle too."
Once they were all in place, Makoto raised the golden globe up into the air and said, "Guardian of Time…Let the Door of Time spilt the heavens and open to us…I call you by your true name. The all-knowing God of Time, the Father of the Guardian…Chronos! Lead us! Protect us! Send us the path of light!"
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the air, and she cried out, "Fire within me! Pull us through…connect me with the fire I seek!" A column of fire shot out from her and entered the golden portal. The next thing the group knew was, was that they were now standing in a large room that had a large table on it and about thirty chairs around it.
"Where are we?" asked Yulie.
"Welcome to the future…you're in the dinning room."
"Why are there so many chairs?" asked Cye.
"Oh did I forget to mention that…we all live in a palace together?" asked Makoto sheepishly.
"WHAT!" the guys exclaimed.
"You mean we never spilt from each other?" asked Ryo with wide eyes.
"Well let's just say it was easier this way because of constant attacks shall we?" she replied with a tone in her voice that clearly stated 'I'm not going to answer anymore questions so close your mouths.'
Makoto turned to them and as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a call, "MOMMA!"
Surprised the group turned to see a little boy about five years old running towards them. He had unruly black hair and sparkling emerald eyes. His skin was perfectly tanned and he had dimples in his cheeks.
"Look Ryo…Hariel." Whispered Kento with a smile as Makoto kneeled down and picked him up.
"Oh my little man! How are you? And why aren't you in bed mister?" she asked after she gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the head.
He pouted and his stuck his chubby fist into her hair as he said, "I had a bad dream. I was going to daddy when I saw you momma."
"Oh dear me…what was the dream about?"
"Bad men killing everyone." He said seriously.
"Well that's not going to happen my little man because we have help!" replied Makoto cheerfully. Hariel smiled and showed his teeth, or what teeth he had. His front two teeth were missing.
"Now lets go put you back to bed." Said Makoto as she said, "Follow me please guys."
Once they reached the nursery, Makoto whispered, "This is where our youngest stay. I'll show you your daughter's once I put Hariel back to bed."
A minute later, she waved them inside and pulled them over to the closest bed next to Hariel's.
"This is Kori. Your daughter Cye." Whispered Makoto as the group looked her over.
She had Cye's reddish brown hair, which was tousled with sleep and came down to her shoulders, and she had a perfectly round face. She was almost an exact replica of Cye.
"What color are her eyes?" asked Cye in a whisper as he gently caressed her cheek suddenly feeling very protective for the younger girl, who was only thirteen years younger than he.
"They're light blue. Your wife's eyes are light blue." She then led them to a young girl with blond hair.
"This is Yuri, Sage's daughter." Said Makoto in a whisper, as they looked her over as well.
She had Sage's blond hair that came to her shoulders, slightly tanned skin, and a heart shaped face.
"What color are her eyes?" asked Sage in a soft voice as he gently pushed a stay hair out of his future daughter's face.
"They are sapphire blue. Your wife's eyes are sapphire blue."
Next they came to a little girl who had a bag of candy clutched in her hand.
The group laughed softly as Cye commented in a whisper, "We don't need you to tell us whose child this one will be!"
"Well this is Suki." Said Makoto with a smile. She had raven, black, silky hair; almond colored skin, and slightly slanted eyes.
"What color are her eyes?" asked Kento suddenly feeling very protective of the little girl.
"Hazel green. Noriko's eyes."
"This one has to be mine then." Whispered Rowen as they looked at her.
"Guys this is Ariashi (Air-e-ash-e)." Whispered Makoto. The little girl had silky electric blue hair; pale white skin that sparkled in the moonlight, and on her chest was a book.
"Her eyes?" he asked as he gently moved a strangely familiar looking lock of hair from his future daughter's nose.
"They're hazel, Korin's eyes." Replied Makoto s they exited the nursery.
"My god! They are so precious!" exclaimed Mia in a hushed tone.
The guys nodded still awed at the sight of them.
Ryo shook his head and asked, "Hey…who is that?"
Makoto turned and smiled as she said, "Yui!"
The woman turned and dropped the bundle in her arms.
"Mako!" she exclaimed as she ran towards her friend.
"Yui?" asked Cye with a blush covering his cheeks.
"You did it?" asked the woman with platinum, straight blond hair, light blue eyes, she was wearing a light blue silk nightgown, and were her stomach was you could see a small bulge.
"I did…they are right there." Said Makoto as she pointed behind her.
The two friends walked back to the Ronins and Makoto said, "Yui Mouri the past Ronins…guys…this is Yui Mouri…Cye's future wife."
"Hey." Greeted the past group as Cye squeaked out, "hello."
Yui giggled softly and said, "You are a shy one Cye Mouri. It's a miracle you even asked me out on a date all those many years ago."
"Yui, where are the others?"
"Where else?" asked Yui with a roll of her eyes.
Makoto's face was one of thought as she said, "Well the babies are all asleep, and…oh okay. Good night…or good morning Yui." Said Makoto as the group walked away from the woman.
"Good morning Mako and welcome Ronins!" called Yui out in a soft voice.
"Where are we going?" asked Sage with a tilt of his head.
"We're going to the kitchen. I have a feeling Kento's hungry. And anyway…that's most likely where we will find Cye's older self, Kento's older self, Noriko, and Korin. Oh by the way, Korin and Noriko are twin sisters so Rowen and Kento…you'll be brother-n-laws."
Rowen and Kento quickly look at each other with wide eyes.
When they reached a set of double doors they heard a loud crash and the words, "Kento! Don't you dare touch those waffles!"
"But I'm hungry!" came a strangely familiar voice to the Ronins.
"You're just going to have to wait!" came the tired voice that belonged to Cye Mouri.
"Now calm down dearest…" came a soothing voice.
"Who is that?" asked Kento.
"That's Noriko." Answered Makoto as they entered the kitchen.
"Cye I have to have something to eat man!"
"I told you…"
"Come on Cye just an apple slice at least!"
"NO!"
"Come on! You know I get hungry when I'm worried!"
"Of course I know that! I've only known you practically my whole life!"
"Then you should know by now that I'm hungry!"
They heard a relenting sigh, as Cye's voice was heard, "Why are you so worried?"
"DUH! Mako might not come back! What happens if she gets lost in the time stream? Or the effect on time travel might kill the twins! Or that she might not have convinced our younger selves to come back to the future with her! Or…"
"Well Kento, you don't have to be worried anymore. I'm here!" said Makoto as she stepped around the corner.
"MAKO!" squealed the twins in happiness as they gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Kento smiled grandly at her and said as he hugged her tightly, "Thank god for that too."
As she unwound herself from Kento's arms, she found herself looking into a pair of sparkling ocean blue green eyes.
"Cye!" she exclaimed as she hugged him.
"I've missed you!" exclaimed Cye as he gave her a kiss on the head. In the shadows the Ronins watched surprised as the reunion went on.
"Did you bring them?" asked Cye once he let her go.
"Yep, come on out guys."
As the group revealed themselves, Kento smiled and said, "I bet you're all feeling VERY uncomfortable aren't ya?"
Cye elbowed him in the gut and said, "Welcome to you're future. Here…" he said as he threw a bright red apple in Kento's direction.
"HEY!" wailed the older Kento.
"Oh calm down! You can wait. He on the other hand can't!" exclaimed Cye as he asked, "Mako, have you seen Ryo or Sage yet, love?"
Shaking her head no, Mako answered, "No I only just got back. I found Hariel up and about so I put him back to sleep. Showed them the babies, allowed them to meet Yui, and brought them here."
Cye laughed and said, "So my younger self, how did you find it to meet your future wife?"
"He was as beat red as he could get!" exclaimed the younger Kento.
Makoto smiled and said, "Well don't be teasing him now Kento. You haven't met YOUR future wife yet. Everyone, the woman in orange is Noriko Rei-Fuan, Kento's future wife."
"Hi!" they guys exclaimed as Kento squeaked out, "Hi."
"Hey this is a first! Kento doesn't have something to say to a woman!" exclaimed Rowen as Makoto smirked in his direction and said, "Well now Rowen, how about we introduce Korin Hashiba, YOUR future wife?"
Kento smirked at Rowen and said, "Hello my future sister-n-law how are you?"
Ryo, Sage, and Cye laughed and echoed, "Hi!"
Korin smiled and said, "I'm fine Kento-chan, hello Rowen."
Rowen turned beet red and squeaked, "Hi!"
The older people laughed at that as Kento said changing the topic, "You had better go see Sage now though. He'll need to check you over and make sure the twins are okay."
"AND, you need to go and see Ryo before he hacks up all our training equipment!" added Cye with a smile.
