Mie's diary 2 By Tsumi

Entry 21: a new ugly.

A week has passed since we beat Arago. Ryo is still recovering, he wakes up now and then to eat something or bathe but he's been really out of it. I've pretty much hoverd over him like a mother hen as the others say. I am worried about him that's all he is my brother. Someone had to go into town for some groceries Touma and Seiji voulenteerd to go and decided to drag me along with them. We took the list and headed into town. Touma wanted to look at something so he took off leaving me and Seiji alone which I think he did on purpose since Seiji decided to go get lunch. We ate, talking about nothing in particular. Seiji is really cute he dosen't even look japanese. His father is american so he is blonde, and his eyes are a gorgeous lilac color. okay I kinda got lost there like it's hard. Well we finished lunch and got the groceries as well as a few other things she'd asked us to get and met Touma round sun-set at a large building that was under construction. We talked about the possibility of Arago returning and left. We stopped at a place to rest on our way back and we were attacked by a creature who called himself Saranbo. He was looking for the white armor Kikoutei that Ryo had called in the final battle with Arago. When he found that none of us wore the white armor, he let us go and we hurried back to the manor. Luckily Ryo was in bed as we told the others what had occured the guys decided to go and face Saranbo I stayed behind with Nautsi, Jun and Ryo. I checked up on Ryo he was asleep caught in one of his dreams. My poor brother he had sufferd night mares since we were young. They've gotten worse though since we discoverd the armors. I put my hand on his forehead and left to help Nautsi in the study. She asked me how Ryo was and I told her I wasn't sure he had woken up while the three of us had been gone but Nautsi had told him to go to bed. We heard a sound from the bed room. We both went running upsrairs and found Ryo in his sub-gear talking to Saranbo. I realy was tired of the guy already. Ryo didn't listen when we told him he was too weak to fight He grabbed Bayukken and ran for our friends. Nautsi and I followed. We came upon the battle site Ryo was in the Kikoutei and deafeted Sarnbo. He was still very weak though and the others were no better off, and we were not finished with Saranbo yet.

Entry 22: Saranbo once again

It's always hard to recover from battling for your life against various deamons and monsters. The guys were barely awake as they came down for breakfast. After breakfast Nautsi left for town again and we settled in the den watching TV. Touma and Seiji took a couch both looked like they were sleeping. Shuu was asleep on the other couch using Shin who was also asleep for a pillow. Ryo was sitting on a chair staring off into space. I sat on the floor infront of him. Nautsi returned with lunch and as ussual Shin and Shuu fought over the food. Touma joked that the stuff that had happended hadn't wrecked Shu's appetite. The rest of us laughed except for Ryo. Touma asked Ryo if he was okay and Ryo just left, Nautsi followed him. The rest of us watched him go I looked at the others got up and followed them. I saw Nautsi speak to my brother then Ryo told her to go back into the house. After she had left a whole gruop of soldiers attacked him. He led them away from the house. I looked back at the house and followed the solders and Ryo. Ryo fought the soldiers kicking their buts then Saranbo appeared. He challenged my brother to follow him to the city. He called Bayukken who had been off doing whatever tigers do with their free time. I followed passing Jun who was back from his parents' home he called after us but Niether of us answerd. Ryo came to a dock with Bayukken and I decided to let him know I was there. He was mad at me for following him but what should he expect I'd followed him all our lives expet when I was at school. Saranbo appeared and ther was the ussual verbal sparring before both of us called out armors and got ready to fight. Seaweed came out of the water capturing us and Saranbo hit Ryo with a wierd water attack. Bayukken and I struggled with the seaweed that still had ahold of us. Ryo collapsed under Saranbo's attacks. He started trying to drain the armor forgetting Yaku and Me. The tiger attacked Saranbo and was held down by the seaweed again. I went to my brother's side helping him get up. Saranbo attacked us both paying much more attention to him than me. Strange how so many of the enemies ignore me in battle it gets really annoying. He did that anoying sure kill of his again knocking the both of us into the water. I made it to shore and Yaku helped me out Saranbo was already gone and so was my brother. Bayukken started raoring and I looked off toward the way we'd come here I hoped the guys would arrive soon the kid should have told them. There was fighting nearbye it must have been the guys. I headed for it. yes the guys were there fighting. Strangly though Seiji was holding his right hand, Shin's left arm seemed to hurt. Shuu's left knee buckled, and Touma's Right leg collapsed. I was getting a serious headache as I joined them in the fight. Our armor it was protecting Ryo but not us if we kept fighting like this we'd die soon. The armor glowed brightly sending the power to Ryo forming the Kikoutie again. He defeated Saranbo under water. Shin went down to find Ryo and bring him back up. Ryo was okay only tired but his swords were trashed.

Entry 23: A new enemy and broken swords

Well looks like everyone wants Ryo's kikoutie armor and now the swords are broken. We looked through all of nautsi's files to find some way to fix the swords. We sent Jun and Bayukken outside to play so the kid wouldn't be under foot while we did. the gruop of us gatherd in the study. Ryo's sword were worse then they looked. according to Nautsi if we kept fighting like this the swords would shatter. Ryo got upset and hit the wall, knocking stuff off it's holders. The kid and tiger returned and Bayukken decided to comfort him. The rest of us cleaned up the mess Ryo had made. Touma and Seiji comforted Ryo.The kid said we could just find Ryo another sword. Nautsi decided to look for data on the possiblity of another sword. Jun went to bed and she kept looking through the files. We found a file on the soul swords which were made for the kikoutie they were hidden at the base of a valcano we decided to go get them in the morning. Suddenly a black tiger broke thorugh the french doors and attacked. It and Bayukken fought we followed. Ryo and Shuu chased it. Touma and Seiji tried to head it off at the balcony. The two tigers fought and suddenly as it had came the black tiger vanished but not before we realized it was from the Youja-kai. Shuu though the tiger had come for Bayukken we decided to go get the swords now. Ryo said something about taking the swords Shuu said he'd train with him and got in an argument with Shin. Afterwards we headed for the swords.
Ryo, Jun and myself rode Bayukken while the others drove with Nautsi. we got there first and waited for them once we made it into the forest. Shuu jumped into the trees and Shin said he was part monkey and Seiji told him he belonged in the trees. We asked if Shuu saw anything he saw a shadow which turned out to be a crack in the earth with a light in it. we'd found the swords. they were surrounded by a ward and looked like the swords we'd seen in thr file. Shuu threw a rock at the ward and it shatterd sending sand at us. Shuu wanted to smash through the power but Touma said we should form the circle of light again. The guys did so as I watched with Nautsi and Jun. They managed to pass throgh the barrier and Ryo grabbed the swords. He stood there holding them a moment. They were faked he broke them on the stones. Who would leave fake swords here to trick us to come? We saw a warlord with the black tiger we had seen before. He called himself Kenbukyou he had the swords we needed and had set this trap to catch us. He challenged us and we accepted well acctually Shuu accepted for all of us. We fought him but the sword were very strong. He challenged Ryo to call the white armor. He used the sowrds and they shatterd. Poor Ryo but Yaku jumped in the way of Kenbukyou's attack and got seriously hurt. He said something about the tiger being a match for his own and left because of what Bayukken had done. Bayukken was very badly hurt and the swords were shatterd. What were we supposed to do now?

Entry 24: Bayukken's sacrifice and Kenbukyou's gift.
We rested from the battle bandaging Bayukken's wounds. We stayed in Nautsi's lakehouse tending the tiger and ourselves. Once again Ryo was blaming himself and Touma dragged the rest of us to the dock to talk. The others stood around and I took off my shoes dangling my feet in the water. Touma looked at each of us in turn and told us we might not be able to depend on Ryo any more. I nodded simply my brother was alway blaming himself as I reminded them. Seiji agreed saying we should expect Kenbukyou anytime. Shuu said we needed the Kikoutei, Shin agreed and said we were over if we couldn't get the swords from him. Shin was sure my brother would pull himself together. We agreed that Ryo should sit out of the battle for awhile We all were Ryo's friends but he had to rest from these last battles. We tried to decide who would be the best to tell him we all came up with the same choice. Touma was the sacrifical lamb that was chosen to tell my brother he had to sit out for abit. I'm Guessing he didn't take it well since he went running off into the trees. Jun followed the others tried to as well but i told them not to the kid would be better to talk to than his fellow warriors right now. Ryo returned looking only a little better than he had the last day. We ate and went to bed. Once more Ryo had nightmares, he kept yelling to Bayukken that he was sorry and it was his fault. I turned over in my bed watching him a moment before I realized Bayukken was gone. Ryo woke up too seeing he was missing. He got up to leave and I once more had to remind my brother Yaku was my friend and tiger too. We found him, he had fought the black tiger and won one of the soul swords for Ryo. He had reopened his wounds and was bleeding badly. Kenbukyou appeared challenging him to battle with his one sword. They were evenly matched and fought. The others arrived finaly Shuu wanted to help Ryo but Touma said it was Ryo's battle. Jun and Nautsi joined me by Bayukken. Ryo fought and was being beaten. Bayukken was not moving and I was unable to stop the bleeding. Kenbukyou used his sure kill but Ryo called the kikoutie before it could hit him. They ran at eachother there was a big flash of light and when it faded Ryo stood there in his regular armor and both soul swords. Kenbukyo said simething to Kuken-oh the black tiger and died. Bayukken was not moving and his eyes had closed. Jun was crying loudly. I laid my head on the tiger's side tears had started forming in my eyes too. Suddenly Bayukken glowed and his wounds healed he looked up and licked Jun's face. I wiped my tears in his fur. We had Bayukken back our tiger was okay.

Entry 25: Another warlord comes for the Kikoutei

Ryo and Nautsi left to find away to fix the rekka swords leaving the rest of us in the manor alone. Jun and Bayukken had gone with them so only Shuu, Shin, Touma, Seiji and myself had stayed. Shuu spent most of the time watching TV Shin joined him Touma read alot and I decided to drag Seiji off alone to talk. We talked in Seiji and Touma's room since it was no doubt a bit cleaner than mine and Ryo's since we slept with the tiger. Of corese before I could tell him what I wanted to Shin called for us to come down and watch this news report DAMN all the bad luck. The news said a valcano had been covered by what looked like a thick layer of black ice. we were sure it was the Youja. They were after the white armor again and Touma said we should check it out. We found Ryo fighting our newest opponent . He called himself Kokuyoen and used a whip to fight us. strangly he could also paralyze the armor. He knocked Bayukken aside and told us his master had sent him to test the armor. He split himself into six pieces to fight us well at least it was a fair fight sort of. He demanded to know about the white arnmor and of course was refused. Bayukken decided to attack him again and he said he looked like the twin of the black tiger. Then Bayukken called the armor and changed to the black tiger. they were same tiger now thanks to Kenbukyou. the armor started glowing the white armor was coming we told Ryo to accept it since once again he did not want to hurt the guys. of course this is what Kokuyoen wanted but hey we needed to win the battle and Ryo did have the sould swords now. The white armor is very pretty you know it seems to glow with a white flame. Kokuyoen said he was ordered to make us form the white armor and his master wanted to see it. He then froze us in a tomb of black ice. we couldn't move but the ice started getting very warm. the ice around us shatterd like glass thakns to the heat of the kikoutie Ryo cast the sure kill sending Kokuyoen back to this master of his. As the power still surrounded us a youja gate opened. We learned who this master was it was Arago he was back and wanted our armor more than ever. He said we were part of him and our armor was destructive. He told us we belonged to him and even called us children. I realy hate that guy.

Entry 26: Ancient dreams.

Arago was still alive so we spent an entire day training and after dinner we all just kinda went to our rooms. It was so quiet, all of us seemed to be in our own little worlds. I finaly fell asleep.

I was standing in a cave it was dark but I could still see easily in the gloom. Kaosu stood infront of me, he told me that the armors need to be in sink with mind, body and spirit. He walked away leaving me alone in the darkness.

I woke up abruptly noticing I was in the room I shared with Ryo he was awake already shoving things in his bag he looked over at me. We had both had similar dreams Kaosu was dead yet he'd told us something. I packed my own bag preparing to have my own journey. Seiji and Touma were passing by as we came out and Shin was right behind us. We found Shuu in the dining room. He was telling Jun about his dream where he had destroyed a sand dune with his sure kill. We teased Shuu about the sand dune. We told Jun and Nautsi about our own dreams and prepared to leave as ussual teasing Shuu. We planned to split off to find our own centers and gain better awarness of our armors. It was wierd to be alone again I had only been aloneWhen I had been at school. I guess Kaosu had a reason to send us on these solo trips. I came to the caves near the base of mount Fuji where I had orignaly found my armor. The caves were conceled and I wouldn't be disturbed as I meditated there. I had been there maybe an hour when a strange glow surrounded me. A woman dressed in a long white kimono stood before me she was beautiful and made me think of my mother for some reason. She told me my armor was not part of the nine but one of a set of five armors that had been forged to protect the other nine. It had chosen me because of my ties to Ryo but I had to help protect my brothers. She vanished and I chose to return to the manor like we had all planed and wait for the others to return.
when I arrived I found Nautsi and Jun as ussual in the study. Jun was cleaning up the mess a wind had caused earlier and they were both suprised to see me. Bayukken purred and rubbed against me happy that I was back I guess he had expected me. I hoped the others would return soon. I had a really bad feeling about my brothers.

Entry 27: Lady Kayura

Ryo and Touma returned in early afternoon. They were carrying Seiji's sword and Shin's Trident. Aperantly the Masho had captured our brothers Shin, Seiji, and Shuu. They had sent some one named Lady Kayura to captrue Ryo and Touma but they had gotten away and she had told them they had the others. Personaly this Lady Kayura sounded like a serious Bitch, I would love to fight her after all she tried to capture my brother. The three of us and Nautsi spoke for along time about what to do. Ryo wanted to go running into the Youja-kai to rescue the others. Touma said it was a bad Idea it might be a trap. Ryo didn't care he wanted to free the others. They went back and forth like this for quite awhile. I suppose I should have spoken up a bit more but I agreed we should hurry up and rescue the others but it might still have been a trap. Ryo was getting very loud at this point but Touma was useing alot of sence. Nautsi stood telling them Arago would love to see them fight like this. Suddenly the lights starrted blinking and the kid screamed we ran out onto the balconly. Arago's castle floated on the horizon again, right over the lake. We then saw where our freinds were being held, Seiji Shin, Shuu. They looked like they were in alot of pain and the thing they were chained to was draining there power. Lady Kayura appread infront of the picture of our friends She was a beautiful girl dressed in barely any armor and no helmet. The guys were staring at her like they had never seen a girl before what idiots she was an enemy not a chick to stare at. she told us that many humans had surrenederd themselves Arago Ryo said it might control her but not us. Touma agreed saying Arago would lose to us. They armerd up and jumped down to fight her. She taunted them and nearly kicked there buts. She was faster than Touma. Ryo tried his sure-kill and she blocked it. She was giving them a very hard time I wish they could have called the Kikoutie that would have beat her but that took five of the armors to form and we only had two. She did her own sure-kill and knocked both of them to the gruond. she called a gate and was obviously about to drag them through. Kaosu's Shujaku landed at there feet and started to glow it called the Kikoutie onto Ryo. The sound of the staff was also hurting Kayura's ears. Ryo did the sure-kill and Kayura returned through the gate before it could hit her. How had the staff apperaed like that since Kaosu was supposed to be dead and how could we rescue our friends?

Entry 28: A Way into the Youja-Kai

Arguing gets you nowhere and the three of us were definatly getting nowhere. Ryo is way to stubborn and hot headed and Touma was acting way to analytical. Our friends were trapped in our enemy's realm and we could do nothing unless we found a way into the gates. Also we had the problems of this Lady Kayura who was very fast and no lady as far as I could see. Ryo and Touma finally came to an agreement, we would go into town and see if we could find a gate there. The two shook hands agreeing to fight together no matter what. we preparred to go into the city. Bayukken growled and we heard the staff. The ancient was walked up to the house but there was something diferent about him it was Shuten. He was still alive and wished to help us. He had taken Kaosu's place, and learned to use the staff. None of was sure we could trust him yet. He understood this he warned us about Kayura. We needed to find away into the youja-kai. He said he'd help us find a way and told ryo to be careful.
We made it back to the city. obviously the youja would have a gate there. Lady Kayura attacked again. we called our sub-gear gettign ready. Nautsi, Jun and Shuten stayed at the car as us three and Bayukken attcakded her. she asked if we'd come along quietly or if we had to be beaten ito submission. I think the desitoin was beaten into submission. We fought her and she was just as fast as she had been before and man did she verbaky spar wiht us. Her sure-kill was deadly. Bayukken got her scratching her face. We called full armor this time getting ready to fight. She attacked us wiht her sure-kill again. Bayukken blacked the most of her attack changing into Kuken-oh. Touma shot his arrows which she blocked again. Our armors started to sink, Kayura said she had control of the armor and was taking us to Arago. Shuten showed up with the staff the light hurt her eyes we were free and made it to the Youja-kai.

Entry 29: the Youja-kai

I woke up in water at least three inches worth of water. I was alone Touma, Ryo and Bayukken were nowhere in sight. strange how the youja-kai was such a beautiful place not like I had imagined so beautiful. I sat there for a little while wondering what I could do now. I heard something and saw the three of them appraoching Bayukken ran up to me knocking me over giving me one of his baths. The guys laughed and Ryo helped me up. At least the three of us were together but we still had to find our friends. The youja-kai was like a watery nightmare it was beautiful but in an almost sinister way. We walked throug the water, we did not talk much as we walked looking around we were tourists in this place. suddenly we saw a rainbow arch across the sky and a gate appeared. We ran for the gate and it opened as we appraoched. we fell onto a medow where a spirit spoke to us telling us that we were in the world of dreams at that all of our desires would be fullfilled he even said our friends were here enjoying themselves too. We knew that was false our friends were captives here. The spirit tried to make us give up our armor. The sprit threatened us now beacuase of our ipertinencre. We would make Arago suffer and now we had the castle in sight. We saw an army appraoching us as well. We called our full armor and called our sure-kills cutting the front line of the army. The leader of the army was a large dumb soldier named Dara. He held a sword that felt like our friends. Ryo fought him as Touma and I were stuck with soldiers. We tore the soldeirs to peices. I felt a strange enrergy trying to help us for amoment and most of the soldiers fell back as Ryo fought Dara. His sword knocked Ryo's away like it was a toy. Touma and I both knew there was only one answer to defeating Dara we exchanged a glance and Touma took off toward thwe castle and higher ground. Touma shot an arrow trying to reach the guys as I gaurded his back and watched the fight between my brother and Dara. Soon energy came from the other three forming the Kikoutei. Ryo called the surekill of the white armor. He killed Dara and came to help Touma and I with a few soldiers. We were ready to head for the castle.

Entry 30: The evil stronghold.

We snuck into the stronghold by water hideing in a barge. Once we made it to the other side we hid under a building to rest. Bayukken kept watch while the three of us took a nap. We had returned to sub-armor. He growled and we woke up seeing soldiers pass us. We got out of our hiding place and enterd the city. It was a maze in there and we did our best to avoid any and all soldeirs so no alarm would sound. We kept seeing more and more soldeirs as we snuck through. Our luck ran out though and we ran into a few soldiers we did defeat them but not before they sounded an alarm. We ran fast through the city and came upon a shifting path way which trapped us. A wall opened showing Nazza and a group of soldiers the other two appread and threatend us. Ryo was his ussual stuborn self and we were all dropped down a hole. Calling our armor slwoed our fall a bit but we were followed by soldiers on the way down. Another fight later found us runnig up a long flight of stairs and into a garden looking area where lady Kayura was waiting for us. it was a trap and the Maho came up right behind us. They told her to return to the castle but she was under Arago's orders she sent some wierd gold dust to cover us and all of us fell to the gruond. it was somekind of control stuff. The Masho were knocked out Touma and I could barely move but Ryo was still standing. Touma shot at her when she said she wanted the white armor (Everyone wants that stupid armor) . She used more dust and Touma and I both fell. Ryo was also being beat by this stupid dust and started calling the Kikoutei. As he did spirits flew though him he took power from the Mash as well as Touma this time. The white armor glowed brightly and began to darken as Arago tried to control the armor. Kayura knelt to use more dust on Ryo when the Masho stood and tried to stop her. Their armors were acting strangely the white armor was controling them. Kayura bea them back easily and Ryo fought away the dark power. Kayura called her own surekill But so did Ryo. A beautuiful explosoin later found Touma and I in the water being helped to shore by Bayuken and Ryo standing there alomst in a daze. The kikoutei is getting stronger and we caused alot of damage here. And we still haven't found the guys.

Entry 31: The jewel of life.

We found a cave to rest in and Touma asked Ryo if he felt any difference in the power of the Mashos' armors Touma said that the Masho protected Ryo from Kayura I noddeed in agreement they had acted very strangly perhaps they were all under some kind of control. There armors were no different form our own. They had been good for a few moments but they had our friends. We tried to think of a plan to find and rescue the guys. The best way of course would be to just break into the castle. We once again crept through the city this time we knew we were getting close to the castle we saw some soldiers and Ryo just walked up to them and Touma and I came behind him. We destroyed some soldiers and came to a dead end. We jupmed to go over the wall and were absorbed into the wall. It was another trap this was just not our day. We woke up thanks to Bayukken in a stone room it was a dungeon obviously. We found an entrance to another room but the door closed behind us and the ceiling decicded to start coming down. We called our armor again and Ryo blasted throug the wall wiht his sure-kill. Touma shot the door open and Kayura was stnding in the msoke from the blast. We attacked her but eve nthree to one she was fast and seemed to be leading us somewhere. She let Ryo cast his sure-kill but the energy hit a strange statue in the next room and it began to drain his power. Touma moved before I could but even together we couldn't keep it from draining his power. it had drained almost all of his power and he collapsed. Kayura glaoted and Touma stood between her and Ryo. I helped Ryo onto Bayukken's back. Touma fought Kayura as I gaurded my brother. Touma was fighting desperatly and broke a hole to the outside he yelled for us to go and I got on the tiger and he ran. Touma was going to sacrifice himslef for us to escape. I had to get Ryo somewhere safe to get back to him and help. I could hear the fight behind us and feel the energy from their fight. I sent energy to my brother. I saw Touma faling from the sky his armor formed a bubble he and Kayura continued to fight as we found a barge. Kayura was coming strait for us. Touma landed on the barge and shot arrows at Kayura as she cast her atttack. He wasn't strong enough to fight her and all my energy was going to protect us three at the moment. Suddenly a light appread and Shuten, Jun and Nautsi appeard on the barge. Nautsi knelt by Touma as the kid looked at Ryo. They were here to help us but how much help can they be?

Entry 32: The warriors return

We were ready to fight again and Shuten said something about those who needed to be saved were lost already. Luckily the jewel Nautsi and Jun had would protect them as the rest of us fought. Kayura attacked again Ryo ended up on the buildings nearbye fighting Touma coverd him as i helped Bayukken with other soldiers. Shuten was pretty good with that staff but we needed the guys. We ended up fighting Kayura in the castle. We were too weak to fight her alone. Touma made a plan and told the rest of us to stay safe. He went after a barge full of soldiers and let himself get caught. I don't know what that fool was planning but I hoped he would be okay as I stayed on my brother's back. Ryo and I went to save Touma but Kayura attacked us we tried fighting her but Shuten said he would handle her and we followed the barge and ran through a strange tunnel. It ended in a room that was mostly water with a wooden pier in the middle leading to a door. Three fires glowed in the room and we stood in the center of the peir. the Masho appeared and so did Jun and Nautsi on Bayukken. Kayura appeard finaly and we did some verbal sparring as well as some regualr sparring.. Four colums of light came from the water and the guys appeard. Touma said they were sorry they were late but they missed the exit on the freeway. The guys were back and Arago would feel our power now that we were back together. We warned Jun and Nautsi to stay with us Shuu attacked Kayura who just doged him. We were warned that we would have to go through her to get to Arago. The Masho showed back up they said they wanted a chance at us Kayura let them and trapdoors opened under Ryo, Shin and Shu they fell leaving the rest of us to face Kayura and the soldiers. Jun and Nautsi stayed behind us as we fought them. The jewel protected them. We aimed for Kayura's amulet. Touma shot her with his arrows one hit the amulet which glowed with it's own power. Finaly the rest of the guys and Shuten appeared out of nowhere. Ryo called the Kikoutei again and hit Kayura this time severing her amulet. She sat there for a moment confused and when Ryo tried to hit her again Shuten stopped him. We all were startled and She vanished caleld away by Arago again. We stood there confused we all needed to rest we found a good place.

Entry 33: The final battle

We rested and trained in an abandaned area of the city. Shuten meditated as we trained. Seiji and Touma raced as Shin kicked at a pole Shuu was doing push ups with the kid on his back. Ryo and I were fighting one another too. Nautsi watched us prepare sitting on a set of stairs into the building where Shuten was meditating. We were ready to go actually the guys would go and I would for once stay behind and keep an eye on the others. The guys were getting together to go and I pulled Seiji away from the others. I made sure the others couldn't see us and hugged him close. I had no idea what to say I loved him and I did not want them to die. He pulled me into a kiss and told me he'd be fine and would keep an eye on my brother. They left and I went to join Shuten in meditation. I was worried but did not want to show it to the kid or Nautsi I had faith in my fellow troopers I had too. Jun commented on being worried about our friends. Nautsi said it would be okay then looked at Shuten. I looked at the door behind us something was coming. The staff suddenly started glowing and going crazy. Shuten looked up at it and said it was over Kayura was now lost to us. She was the last of the ancient's clan and we must free her. Then the Masho decided to attack again. They were after Shuten and he told me to stay with the other two. Being the only girl in this group that can fight sucks sometimes i really need to teach Nautsi to fight. they attacked us but there was a strange energy toward the direction the guys were in Shuten drove the staff into the earth and we ran in the confusion toward the guys. We were too late though the guys were defeated Shuten said she was possesed by badamon the deamon preist I hate those spirits they are so annoying. The Masho shoed up again threatening us of course. The staff glowed and changed to the helmet from Shuten's oni armor. He out it on changing to the armor, and attacking her. The guys were caught in a strange energy and Bayukken, Nautsi, Jun and myself wer being ignored. The two of them fought The guys wer etaken by wierd barges to five of the nine towers sorounding the city. The Masho were also taken after Badamon told them they were only pawns in this game. He had eight of the nine only Shuten was left. He was taken too and Badamon came after the Jewel. We knew that there was hope as long as we held the jewel.

Shuten manged to get himslef free and attacked Badamon again forcing the deamon from her body by throwing his armor on her. He fell into the water dead. Shuten had been a great warrior and had come through in the end to save Kayura from badamon by giving her his armor but since we live for the armor and not the other way around he lost his life to save her. Jun took the jewel and ran with Bayukken to see if he could free the guys with it. Kayura joined our side and chose to attack Arago, I went with her since the guys were finaly free we challenged Arago who was happy to accept the challenge. The others freed themsleves and threw thier sure-kills at him the Masho had joined us to now the others came and joined us all nine armors stood against Arago and he still only laughed at us. The sun was eclipsing and soon the mortal world would be absorbed by the youja-kai. Ryo cast his sure-kill and though Arago burst into flames he just steped into the water and climbed the wierd tower. Ryo went to follow but Kayura warned him that it was dangerous. He could turn Ryo evil with the dark energy in the tower. He made it to the mortal world and we followed.

We faced off against Arago on top of a building. He tricked the people of the city with empty promises of power. Ryo fought Arago himself calling the kikoutie as the rest of us stood there we were unable to do anything as Ryo let himself get absorbed into Arago he told us to strike at Arago we hesitated a moment before doing so as Ryo's Kanji jin apeared on Arago's forhead and his armor kept pulsing with light. As the guys struck their armors glowed blindinlgly. We were all crying as the blows struck and Arago was incinerated the jewel glowed and Ryo stood there in the White armor looking dazed. We saw that the mortal world was saved and took off our helmets throwing them up in the air where they puffed into Sakura petals the rest of our armor followed turning back to the orbs they had been before we were all wearing jackets with our names on them as well as our armor symbols. Kayura thanked us for helping her and the Masho and they returned to the Youja-kai to clean up promising they would visit sometime soon. We returned to the manor and since we couldn't find Jun's parents Nautsi adopted him as a little brother so did the guys and I. Well life should return to normal now but who knows what kind of evil may spring up since the armor stayed with us and did not vanish. we will be ready for it this time though since we are the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers nothing can stop us.
And i only have a week left in my summer vacation t ospend with Seiji that just sucks.
