Disclaimer: I don't own the Ronin Warriors. This is where things get interesting for those who have waited so patiently.

Earlier that morning…

The rising sun reflected on the water brightly, but Hannah's eyes were wide with shock. Rowen was not in a human form anymore, he was a huge blue wolf with golden eyes and a gold diamond between his eyes. He had more muscle volume than a real wolf would and a long tail.

Hannah found it hard to breath. She heard her heart beat like a metal drum. "You. You're the one…from my dreams…when I was just a kid."

"So I did reach you." Rowen chuckled. "I had hoped I did. Do you remember my message?"

"Of course. How could I forget? You only told me every time I saw you." Hannah said slightly shaking. "'Keep the pendant with you at all times. Never let anyone take it from you.' You meant my gold triangle."

"Yes." Rowen growled. "Because of your dreams as of late, there's no doubt you're the one I saved all those years ago. You're the first human to live in my village."

"You mean your fiancé?" Hannah stepped back.

Rowen nodded. "The union your mother told you in your dream. It's our duty to bring balance to both the Mortal and Demon Worlds."

Hannah found her courage and frowned. "You mean by our first child?" Rowen was taken aback. "Is all I'm good for, just to give birth to another light like Mia? If that's all you think, you've changed for the worst!"

Rowen walked up to Hannah. He glared right into her fiery green eyes. Hannah just glared back. Rowen sighed and closed his golden eyes. "If that's all I thought about, I would have tried something before now."

Hannah slowly blinked and her face softened. "So, you really have cared about me all these years. Just like the others said."

Rowen glowed blue and shrank down to normal. He opened his eyes and looked at Hannah. "I thought of nothing more important than your safety." Hannah felt tears weld up in her eyes. Just so Rowen wouldn't see them she hugged him.

Rowen held Hannah. 'Then is no mistaking it. You're her, you're Hanaku.'

Rowen heard a scream from the woods. "What was that?" Kento asked from on the balcony above. A big flock of birds flew from the forest.

Sage stepped up next to Rowen. "We better check it out. Something tells me Hannah's the one who screamed."

Rowen nodded and pulled out his armor orb.

Hannah ran off into the woods. The creatures that were disguised as Senai and White Blaze went after her. Hannah's legs gave out early from absorbing the shock that she had fallen into a trap.

'I can't believe I was so stupid! Now I gotta get them away from the house! I can't let them—' Hannah yelled as her back was hit with black fire and she fell facedown into the dirt.

The black creatures chasing her were traveling by the tree branches. They quickly caught up to her and jumped down to surround her. "Found you!" one hissed.

Hannah froze. Her hands gripped her family treasure tightly. "Stay back! I mean it!"

The second one laughed. "Look at that. She's trembling."

"A human who prides herself of being a 'black belt.'" The first laughed. "The child of Queen Matsuno, the last of the Kaos bloodline."

Hannah growled as they approached her. 'What's the matter with me? Why am I so scared?' There was a loud whoosh in the air. The creature behind her shrieked in agony. Hannah turned to see a golden arrow in its shoulder.

On an impulse Hannah pushed her weight onto her hands and kicked the first creature's legs. It crashed to the ground…but got back up just as quickly as it had fallen.

"Hannah!" Hannah looked up to see Kento, Ryo, and Cye jumping down. They landed in a circle around her. "You alright?" Ryo asked.

Hannah nodded. "Yeah, fine." She blinked. 'Is this their armor?'

The first creature growled. "Damn humans!" Its eyes glowed pale green. "You will pay for interfering!"

The second creature pulled Rowen's arrow out. "The girl will not die just yet." The group looked at them. "We merely need her before all of you."

"Psst! Hannah!" Hannah looked to the bushes next to her.

Up in the sky above, a man, a woman, and their son and daughter watched the scene. All of them were dressed in black with black hair and eyes. "Impressive teamwork. He has outdone himself this time." The boy said smiling.

"Yes, he's actually following orders." The woman stated.

The man grunted disapprovingly. "He's still nothing more than a child. He clings to a childhood memory."

The girl giggled. "Now that she has the Dragon Fang, can't we just bring her to the city ourselves?"

"No," The man said. "Let her bring them along. After the ceremony we can kill her with no problem. The prince won't even know." He disappeared and was soon followed by the others.

While Ryo and the others fought off the creatures, Rowen and Sage hurried Hannah towards the house. "Wait! The others! They're still—"

"They can take care of themselves." Sage told her. He jumped up to stop a third creature from landing on Hannah and Rowen.

They stopped and turned to him. "Sage!"

"Go!" Sage slashed at the dark beast before him. "I'll hold him off!" He blocked a punch with his sword. For a second the two hesitated. Then Rowen picked up Hannah and dashed to the mansion.

Once they arrived, and Rowen set Hannah down, Hannah smacked him. "How could you just leave 'em! What if something happens to them!" Rowen didn't say or do anything. He just stood there with a serious look on his face.

Mia came downstairs after checking all the windows upstairs. She stopped when she heard a loud slap from the back yard. "Hmm? What was that?"

Rowen knelt next to Hannah on the ground. Hannah's cheek was red and stung like hell. "What was that for?" she demanded calmly.

"You don't know what it's like to battle a demon, let alone a whole demon army." Hannah blinked at Rowen. "There were times I had to run from my friends just to save their lives. If I had stayed and fought with Sage neither of us could use our ultimate techniques."

Mia leaned on the wall next to the open doorway. 'Something happened. Ryo…' She looked at the diamond ring on her wedding finger. 'please come back to me.'

"Why not? All the trees?" Hannah asked.

"No, one of us could have ended up hitting you." Hannah's eyes popped out of her head. "You know we can't afford any danger to your life right now. If anything had happened to you…" Rowen trailed off.

Hannah understood. 'Just like my sensei always said. I open my mouth before I think. This time I'm gonna clean up the mess.' Before either knew what was happening, Hannah and Rowen leaned in real close.

Mia had to stifle a gasp. She turned around and walked off from the kissing scene in her own yard. 'Well, at least they're getting along.'

A/N: You like? (catty smile) I bet a few of you are happy I finally got the armor in the story, and others are happy I finally got Hannah and Rowen together. (cat tail and ears appear) So am I! (meow!)
