Rea thinking the same thing as Toma got up and sat on the couch with Toma right next to her. Rea got Jun's attention as Toma said, "Jun, Rea and I were talking about it before and figured if that your parents didn't come back we would like to adopt you. You're like a son to both of us, but it has to be your choice. If you don't want us to adopt you we understand."
Jun was surprised by the two had wanted them he knew that they were teens themselves but they still wanted to adopt him. He was happy and bounced from his seat on Rea's lap to Toma as he tried to hug the both of them at once. Rea smiled at him she may have been sixteen but she loved this little boy.
She said, "I take that as a yes."
Jun smiled at her and said, "Of course you two already treat me as good as my parents ever did and I feel safe with the both of you. The question is you're both under age so how can you adopt me?"
Rea smirked and said, "I happen to be a daughter of a lawyer I know the rules and regulation of adoption pretty well. I've seen most of my dad's cases and both Toma and I have jobs starting in September. Toma got a job in a five star restaurant while I got a job at home with researching. I make my own hours while Touma works Friday and Saturday nights. We made it this way before Arago attacked but we wanted to wait until after the summer. Plus we have an apartment waiting for us and it has two bedrooms. Your get your own room the only problem they may have is that we aren't married but we can deal with that if it comes up."
Jun smiled as he hugged them again and jumped off the couch to tell the other's except for Ryo who was still sleeping.
Rea smiled as she lean into Toma who also held a smile as he knew that his girlfriend was dying to go and get the adoption papers.
Toma said, "I'm going to go with Seiji to go and pick up some clothes from his house and our apartment do you want me to get anything else while I'm out."
Rea replied, "Yea my computer and the adoption papers it will be easy since he agreed and since he's ten they will take that in account" (just to let you know I am not Japanese so I am using United States law which if the child is older the court may take their opinion in mind watch Gracie's choice from lifetime).
Toma nodded as he left with Seiji and out the door. Rea went back into the dining room wanting some breakfast since she hadn't eaten since who knows when. As she ate some cereal she once again smiled as she watched, Jun tell Nasuti all about how great Rea and Toma were since they wanted to adopt him.
Nasuti smiled as she said, "Well then you better behave and listen to their rules."
Jun nodded as he went to go out in play while Nasuti watched Rea and smiled. Rea was in heaven with knowing that soon that little boy was all hers.
After spending the day with Jun and White Blaze she decided to call her dad. He was glad to hear from her and was shocked about adopting a ten year old boy, but he was pleased with her and Toma's decision. He told her that if they needed a lawyer then just to call him, and he would be on his way out there. He also reminded her to call Toma's father to let him know also. Rea told her father that she would and hung up calling Toma's father to let him know. She was glad that both fathers' were on their side about this.
When Toma came back that night with clothes for everyone Rea told Toma what their fathers' told her. He was glad since he knew how hard it was for Rea to even state it to them since they were only sixteen years old. He gave her the papers that she quickly but efficiently filled out which when Toma had read them he was quite confused by all the mumbo jumbo but then again Rea knew these papers like the back of her hand. She had them all filled out in no time.
Seiji had gotten the other boys minus Ryo and told them about Sarenbo. Rea listened in as the other boys wanted to fight him.
She said, "Guys it's too dangerous he wants the inferno armor and we don't even know how it works I don't think going after him is the best idea. Plus if we went after him and he finds out none of us hold it then who's going to protect Ryo. You forget he isn't up just yet he is healing still.
Toma sighed he knew that Rea would find that fault they never stated that it was a perfect plan. Seiji looked at his older sister and knew that what he was about to say might piss off his sister.
Seiji said, "Re, if you're so worry about your twin then why don't you stay here to protect him if we lose. Plus you are working on adopting Jun and we might be lucky and this guy doesn't even know of your existence."
Rea was pissed that she was seeing red and said, "Seiji, have I not proven to you let that I can take care of myself. All I'm saying is that we should wait until Ryo is fully heal. We need to be smart about this we just beat Arago yesterday. We're not ready for another fight Dynasty or not."
Shin and Shu could see where Rea was coming from but they also knew that Seiji also had a point and if they didn't know about six armor barriers than we can use that to their advantage.
Toma replied, "Koi, all we are saying is that if he doesn't know about you then we might be able to use you against him by him going after you and keeping Ryo safe."
Rea looked at her love and replied, "That isn't going to work, we don't know enough about the White Inferno armor both Nasuti and I have been trying to find info on it and even I don't have much on it not enough to help Ryo. If Sarenbo wants the Inferno, then he has a way to find out if you are the barrier of the armor or not since he allowed you both to live. What we do know is that it takes five armors to call on it. We know that it at least takes Wildfire the other four I think can be any armor except mine. It has to have some connection to Arago."
The four boys looked at her and shock why didn't, the Ancient one tell them about Rea's armor they were sure that it was just another armor made by Arago's armor. Rea sighed she had hoped that they already knew about her armor, but apparently not.
She said, "My armor came from a warlady the one that attacked me twice. When I was kidnapped by Arago he electrocuted me to almost death when Kayia told him that she would not fuse with me for the armor if she didn't have my corporation. She also stated something about a curse but not sure what it was. I had to plead Kayia to fuse with me so I wouldn't die."
Toma went over to his girlfriend and hugged her as she cried herself to sleep. Toma put her upstairs not wanting to leave her alone, he put her on the bed with her twin brother. He knew that she would feel better if she was closer to her twin brother.
Nasuti was watching over the sleeping twins she also noticed that Jun was sleeping on the couch near the window. She had decided that Jun could share a room with Ryo as long as Jun agreed to let Ryo heal and sleep. It wasn't a perfect solution but since they had given Rea the attic it was the only way. Nasuti left for a little more research and hope that she could find something about the armors. She had listened in on the boys vs. Rea, she agreed with Rea since it made sense about her armor and protecting Ryo but she also knew that the boys were going to do it their way. Nasuti could start to hear the boys and went downstairs real quick.
She walked down and said, "Boys look let's get some sleep and talk about this again tomorrow. We are all tired and still healing from one battle another one can wait until tomorrow."
The four boys nodded as they all walked back up the steps.
Rea woke up the next morning and smiled at her twin who was still sleeping peacefully. She got up and ate breakfast while Nasuti told her that she would send out the adoption papers. Rea nodded as she heard and after eating she went to go and meditate she was hoping that she could talk to Kayia to find out about the curse and also if she could be part of the White Inferno. She doubted it but Kayia may know.
Outside meditating Rea cleared her mind and was able to feel the bond with Kayia and followed it to a wall of flames. She backed up just a little and looked fearfully.
Kayia said, "Don't be afraid, Rea this just keeps me from taking over unless you allow me or I am needed."
Rea came back closer and said, "I got a few questions if you're willing to answer them."
Kayia replied, "You may ask Rea, but I might not answer you."
Rea asked, "One right before we fuse you talked about a curse, what is this curse? The second is our armor able to connect to the white Inferno armor?"
Kayia sighed and said, "Rea to understand the armor you need to know the background. When I had the armor first it was known as Selfishness. I was born a Dynastian, but I didn't believe Arago and his beliefs. I believed that the two worlds should stay separate. The only thing that I did believe about Arago was that the Ronin barriers should have to give up their life in the mortal world for the Dynasty. See even though the armor was made from Arago's body. The Warlords agreed to live in the Dynasty and then they decided to work for Arago. Arago would be fine as long as the armor barriers lived in the Dynasty. During the battle between Arago and the Ancient one I was a spy for both sides not caring on which side wins. When the Ancient one won the battle the Ancient One betrayed me and stabbed me in the back and changed my armor into the Phoenix armor.
What he didn't know was that by changing the armor a curse was set. I don't know exactly what the curse is. I only work with Arago right now is to get back to the Ancient One for what he did to me. Also I don't know if we could be part of the White Inferno but I agree it probably is impossible it would be something you would have to ask the Ancient One about that."
Rea replied, "Thank you Kayia and I am sorry that it came to this but I am also afraid to give you free range since you even stated that you still work for Arago."
Kayia nodded she knew that she would go after the Ronins if she was set free. As Rea left her mind she wished that she knew what this curse was.
She looked at the window that was now opened and saw Ryo stretching who was watching Shu and Shin who was doing some stance that had Shu keeping Shin in the air upside down with one hand. He gave all three of them a smile and a wave as he turned back to go inside. Rea also went back inside to help Nasuti about the armor. Nasuti smiled as she watched Rea come in and set up her laptop and see what she had on the Phoenix armor to see about if she could find what the curse could be. Everyone seems to know what it was but no one was letting her know. Ryo walked in a little bit after and was talking quietly to Nasuti about the Inferno. All of a sudden Rea turned pale and started shaking and gave a quiet cry. Ryo ran to his sister when he heard that and went to go comfort.
As he read what his twin had read and knew that it had just hit home to what she had to do. Jun had filled him in on what was going on and said, "Rea, this isn't going to affect you from adopting Jun is it."
Rea replied, "It won't since it isn't a health issue but I am going to have to watch my temper and that isn't an easy task for me."
Ryo knew what his sister meant they both had a temper which can lead to devastating effect. As he let go of her he knew that it wouldn't be the first time that she would need a hug. She sighed as she left she now knew that if she got pissed she could shoot fire at what pissed her off and that was not good since Seiji had the attitude to do just that.
