"Man! All this hiking is getting me nowhere!" Hannah complained. "I'm starting to go in circles, yet I've gone in a straight line. This is stupid. Where's the road?" She looked at her compass. It was dead still. Hannah sighed and went in the same direction she had been going all day.
"One of these days I'll get me a better compass." She muttered on as she continued on her way. "Hmm? What's that smell?" Hannah rushed up the hill. "I don't believe it! This is impossible!"
"Don't blame him. He told me he goes up there the same time every year." Sage said turning back to checking out two girls waiting to cross the street outside the little café.
"Did he tell you why?" Cye asked.
"No. When I asked he said he'll tell us someday." Sage turned around as the girls make it across. "What bugs me is that he sounded like he lost someone."
Cye and Kento stopped eating and got the idea. "Maybe he did." Kento looked at his food. He wasn't hungry anymore."I can't believe she's back." Rowen tightened his fist. "What does she have up her sleeve this time?"
Zara sat across from him. "Look, we know it took you years to get over what happened. This time you don't have to worry."
"What makes you say that?" Rowen snapped. "That bitch took her right from my arms!"
"Toma." His mother said softly. "Calm down. All this means is that she doesn't know where she is. She could possibly be safe back in Tokyo."
"Then why are they looking here? Wouldn't they be looking in Tokyo for her?" Selira placed a gentle hand on her brother's shoulder.
Her blue eyes were full of concern. "Toma, if she is able to remember, she's looking here for us." Rowen calmed down. It was a slim chance, but it was all he had to count on right now."I'm telling you that's what I saw!" Hannah said through her teeth trying not to yell at the man. He shook his head and shooed her off. Hannah scoffed and stormed out. The man just mumbled about how crazy she was.
"I know I saw a lake in Daisetsu-zan. Someone made a mistake." She walked down the street to her hotel. "I know, I'll go to Tokyo and see someone about it. They gotta listen to me there." She stopped at a crosswalk and waited for the light.
A tall man stood next to her. He hid his face by a low tipped hat. "Warm night." He said. Hannah ignored him. "It's not good to walk the streets alone at night. You could disappear and no one would know."
"I can take care of myself. So back off." The light changed and Hannah started to walk. The man grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. Hannah reached back and flipped the guy over her head and onto the ground. Hannah smirked as she crossed the street. The man just laughed and Hannah stopped in the middle to turn around and look at him.
"Good move. You take after you father." He continued to chuckled.
"My father? He never took Martial Arts." Hannah narrowed her eyes and her body tensed up. The man stood up and brushed the dust off his shoulders.
"Your father was my best friend. He was a great warrior. Too bad he had to die." The guy took off his hat to revealed blue skin, golden eyes,and fangs glistening in the moonlight. All his blue hair was smoothed to the right. "Shame you have to be so much like him."
Hannah got in a stance ready to defend herself. "Who are you?"In a dark dark castle a woman sat on the throne. She watched Hannah and the man in a glowing sphere. "There's no mistake. She's the spitting image of her mother. Do away with her Helios, the last Light must be put out."
She waved her hand and the image changed to Mia's mansion. A figure cloaked in black quietly open a window into Mia's and Ryo's room. "Ah, so another one has been conceived. This one must be nipped in the bud."
The intruder snuck across the floor to the bed. Mia stirred in her sleep but didn't wake. The shadow drew out a dagger and readied to thrust it down.
The reflection of the moonlight on the blade hit Ryo in the face and woke him up. He saw someone holding a dagger right above Mia! "Hey!" He grabbed the guy's wrist and pushed him off. Mia woke up and gasped.
The inturder chuckled and drew out a sword as well. Ryo pulled Mia away as the guy pounced and landed on the bed. He pulled them out and stepped off the bed. "This doesn't concern you Ronin Warrior."
"A woman?" Ryo blinked. "Why are you after us?"
"I'm not after you I'm after your wife." She charged forward with her sword aimmed right for Mia.A/N: I tried to replace the first two chapters but it didn't work. I'll try again and if it doesn't work, we'll all have to live with it. I hope this one turned out okay.
