Ronin Infantry

ch 5

The Warlords finished their audience with Talpa, and were now on their way to check on the brats. Anubis frowned deeply when they got closer to the door.

"Anubis?" Sekhmet questioned when he glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"Listen." Anubis replied as he narrowed his eyes while he stared at the door.

Dais looked at him quizzically, "I don't hear anything."

"Exactly, it's too quiet." Anubis pointed out when he unlocked the door and entered along with them.

The four Warlords looked around in shock. The Ronins were gone, and the room was totally trashed.

"I don't believe it, they've escaped," Cale exclaimed angrily. "How can that be possible?"

"Where could they have gone?" Sekhmet asked in annoyance.

Anubis walked over to the open passage on the other side of the room. "It looks like they went through here. We better fined them before Talpa finds out they're loose."

The other Warlords saw Anubis enter the passage and they followed. They found themselves out in the hall which was also in shambles.

"Those brats are going to pay for this!" Dais yelled angrily when he and the other Warlords saw the hall littered with bits and pieces of armor.

"As long as Master Talpa doesn't find out about this, we should be in the clear." Sekhmet stated.

Anubis looked at the others as he scowled. "We need to find them before they cause any more damage."

Meanwhile the five little Ronins finally found the kitchen.

"What did I tell you?" Kento asked with a smirk on his face.

"Ok, you found the kitchen. Let's get something to eat. Your growling tummy sounds like a big cat." Rowen pointed out as he frowned deeply at Kento.

"Hey, can I help it when I get hungry? I can't say, hey it isn't time to eat to my tummy." Kento replied as the others were already at the food binge.

"Are you two going to keep fighting or are you going to come and eat?" Ryo asked when he held up what looked like rice or something. He raised a brow when he studied the bowl of food. "I think it might be food. It's hard to tell for sure."

Sage looked over at Ryo, "Why don't you try it and find out?"

Ryo pushed the bowl over to Sage, "If you're so sure it is, then why don't you?"

"I asked you first," Sage stated as he stared him down.

"No, you!" Ryo replied in a stubborn manner.

"I insist," Sage said as he pushed the bowl back towards him.

Ryo frowned deeply as he and Sage continued to push the bowl back and forth. "Hey, I'm leader! So, what I say goes, and I say you can try it first."

Sage laughed, "Some leader, you hide behind things and go peek-a-boo!"

Cye just shook his head as he was eating what he found. He didn't understand why his friends had to constantly fight like this. It gave him a headache at times. "Why don't both of you try it at the same time?"

Ryo and Sage were startled and the bowl flew over and dumped all over Kento and Rowen.

The three Ronins looked over the edge and saw the other two covered in food.

Kento and Rowen blinked at each other and then Kento took a small portion of the food from his arm and ate it. "Hey, this isn't bad." The orange Ronin continued to eat as Rowen tasted the food as well.

"He's right but you know what would be better?" Rowen asked after he swallowed and saw a giant bowl of noodles. He climbed up to the table and pulled it over towards him. "Noodles!" The blue Ronin took a handful of wet noodles and threw them right at the other three.

Cye saw the noodles coming and ducked just in time, but unfortunately for Ryo and Sage, they weren't so lucky.

Kento saw the two of them covered and rolled on the floor laughing.

Ryo and Sage looked at each other, "You know what this means?"

Ryo gave a small nod and then found sauce and gave one to Sage. "Food fight!"

Immediately Cye took cover as he shielded himself with a cooking pot for a helmet and a baking sheet for a shield.

The other four Ronins were totally covered in every type of food they could get their little hands on. Rice and noodles stuck on the walls. Flour was showered all over the tables and chairs as well as the entire floor. After a while they ran out of ammunition and the food fight was at an end.

Cye put down his shield and slowly took off the cooking pot from his head as he approached them. "You're in trouble."

"Not if they don't catch us in here we won't be! Come on, let's get out of here!" Ryo said as he lead them to the other exit as they ran out of the kitchen.
