New Life, New Secrets, New Destiny

Chapter 5

The five guys and Mia walk down the street at night. "The others don't know what they're missing."

"Why are they staying back at the house anyways?"

"Kayura said that they got some weird feeling from that Anubis guy and that weird creature that showed up, so they decided to stay home and try to figure them out," Ryo says.

"Well, I really don't mind but I'm getting hungry here. I say we go and find someplace to eat," Kento says rubbing his stomach.

"Well then, choose someplace so we can go eat," Rowan complains. Kento looks around looking at the different restaurants. He finds one across the street and points his figure toward a building with a fancy canopy.

"Let's go there."

"I don't know Kento. That place looks pretty expensive and you probably need a reservation to get in."

"But Mia, we already have a reservation. We're like gods to these people and anyways, we have you to convince them otherwise."

"But isn't that like taking advantage of them?" Rowan asks.

"If you think about it, giving us a free dinner is the least they can do for protecting them," Sage comments.

"And anyways, they probably have really good food." Kento, Cye, and Sage run across the street.

"I guess we should go catch htem," Ryo states.

---

"Wow, this place sure is fancy. We aren't even dressed to eat at a place like this," Mia says in astonishment looking at all the decorations. Kento goes up to the maitre'd.

"Excuse me, but can we have a table?"

"Do you have a reservation?" he asks drawing on a piece of paper.

"Actually, no."

"Well then, you can't have a table."

"But…" Mia walks up to Kento, puitting her hand onhis shoulder before he can go on.

"I'm so sorry about my friend here sir. We'll take him out now."

"Good, or else I will have to call security…" The maitre'd looks up to see Mia with the others. "Oh my, Lady Mia. I didn't know it was you and the others. Why didn't you say something? I'll get you all a table right away."

"Um, thank you, I guess," Mia says, unsure of herself.

"Yes! Time to eat!" Kento says.

---

"Have you any of you figured it out yet?"

"Not yet Kayura, but that feeling from Anubis seemed familiar," Skehmet says.

"It did feel a bit like Anubis' power though," Dais comments.

"But we all know that he's been dead for a while. So its probably someone who has gotten some of his power," Cale says.

"But where could he of gotten it from?"

---

"Wow, look at how expensive these things are? There's no way we can afford any of this stuff," Cye comments while looking at the menu.

"Are we going to have to pay too?" Rowan asks.

"Of course not. Everything is on the house."

"Great. Then we'll have one of everything on the menu." Kento closes the menu and places it on the table.

"Right away sir."

"I feel bad about doing this. Isn't this wrong, just taking food?"

"We're not taking it Mia. They're giving it to us." Sage takes a piece of bread of the breadbasket in the center and stuffs it in his mouth.

---

"Master Talpa, it seems that your old warlords are starting to figure out who you are. What should we do?" Anubis asks as he kneels before the demon on the throne.

"You'll go back to the mortal world and challenge them, but don't kill them. They can still be useful. I'll also put a spell upon you so they will start thinking differently."

"You are so wise Master."

---

"Oh, wow all this food looks so good." All the men start serving themselves until their plates are full, enjoying the free food.

"Mia, aren't you going to eat something?" Ryo asks, starring at the plate that he had put food on for her.

"You should eat something," Cye comments.

"I'm not that hungry. I'm going to go to the bathroom though. I'll be back." She gets up and walks away.

"Something's wrong with her. I wonder what," Kento asks stuff his mouth full of food.

"I'm going after her." Ryo gets up and follows in Mia's steps.

---

Mia sits down on a couch in the women's bathroom and rests her head on her hands. "What's up with me? These visions are really getting to me. I don't know what to do."

"Mia?"

"Ryo? You shouldn't be in the women's bathroom." Ryo opens the door slowly and spies Mia. He walks in and sits next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, bringing her closer.

"I'm sure no one will mind. Mia, what's wrong with you? I'm really worried about you." She turns her head so that it becomes buried in his shoulder, her hands latching onto his shirt.

"It's nothing really Ryo. I just don't feel like myself lately."

"Are you sure that's it?"

"Yeah and I just feel bad about taking advantage of the people here."

"There's more to it, isn't there Mia?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"It's not good for you or the baby to be keeping all of this inside Mia."

"I know. But please trust me on this. There's nothing you can do to help."

"Mia, how deep does this thing go if it's causing you so much pain? I hate not being able to do anything. IF you want to, we could go home once the guys are done and make something. That way, we won't be taking advantage of the people."

"Sure. That would be great." She looks up at him and smiles.

---

"This feeling is really starting to bother me. Why does this feeling seem so familiar?" Cale asks out loud. Suddnely, Kayura sits up alerted.

"Do you guys feel that?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't feel like before," Dais states.

"WE should check it out." Kayura gest up and the rest follow her out the door. Suddenly, a bright flash goes off and Anubis appears.

"Anubis, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to warn you not to get involved in this little war. If you do, it will mean your end." He disappears and leaves the four speechless. From the side, two headlights appear. They stop and everyone gets out.

"Hey you guys, what are you doing out here?" Cye asks.

"Anubis just came, but something was different about him."

"Yeah, he had a different feeling around him this time and it doesn't seem so familiar," Cale responds.

"I wonder what this guy is up to?"
