``Hey guys!`` Mia greeted as she enter the gate. The group was about to go out to look for her.
`` We were looking for you, where have you been?`` Kevin asked
``I went out for a walk. I just wanted to see this place.`` She answered. ``Did I scare you all.``
``Well.`` Mike started as she walk to her and put his arm around her as he lead her inside. ``Yes, we were kind of scared on what had happened to you since we all wake up early but your a lot earlier than we thought.``
``Sorry guys, I just thought of going out, I never expected that all of you are going to look for me.``
``I hope next time your going to us that your going out so we won`t waste our time looking for you.`` Emily said as she glare at her as she walked ahead of them.
Mia just look at the retreating back of Emily, confused at how she acted. She look at Mike and he too has a very confused look on his face.
``Don`t mind her, Mia, why don`t we go out and grab some cake I`m craving for it!`` Lauren said.
``Cake, I`m coming too.`` Atonio said.
``No, for girls only, we will just bring some home later on.`` And she pulled Mia away from Mike.
``What`s up with your sister, taking her away from us.`` Mike said.
``I got no clue either.`` Jayden said as he smiled at the two. ``I need to talk to Emily regarding her attitude toward Mia. She`s not supposed to act that way to her. It was never her fault.!``
``Jayden... Jayden...`` Mike called.
``Hey man, are you okay.`` Kevin asked
``Huh, oh... yeah...`` Jayden said
``Are you listening to us?`` Antonio asked.
``No, I`m sorry guys, I didn`t mean to.`` He honestly said. Mike tapped his shoulder.
``It`s okay.`` Mike said.
``Let`s go back inside.`` Kevin suggested as him and Antonio walked ahead of them.
``jayden wait.``Mike said to stop Jayden. the later look at him. ``It`s about Emily.``
Jayden looked away.
``Mia has nothing to do with what happened before, she has no clue about Emily`s feelings to you nor has to do with you not accepting her.``
Jayden sighed. ``I know that.``
``That is what your supposed to tell to Emily if your going to talk to her.``
``Mike?``
``It wasn`t your fault too.`` Mike said
``Thanks, Mike.`` He said ``Maybe I needed to be reminded always.``
``It wasn`t your fault, you are just being honest to her and to your self.`` Mike said and tap his shoulder and retreated inside.
Jayden smiled and followed Mike inside.
Tommy just paid for the bread he bought for their breakfast when two girls entered the shop, the other girl gasped when she sees him. He smiled at her the blond girl looked at her companion and then to him questioningly. The Raven haired girl cleared her throat.
``Lauren, this is Dr. Thomas Oliver, I am working at his lab for over a year now. Dr. O, this is Lauren a friend of mine.``
``Nice meeting You, Dr. Oliver.`` Lauren said as they shake hands.
``Nice meeting you too, Lauren.`` Tommy said. ``You are the only friend that Mia had introduced me for over a year.``
lauren look at Mia. ``Well, I guess you are working outside Panorama city that is why you haven`t met anyone of us.``
``Yes you`re right I worked at reefside university.`` Tommy answered.
``Oh, Mia didn`t tell us that. Did the two of you came here together?`` Lauren asked
Tommy shook his head. ``No I came here for a vacation with my friends over there.`` Both girls followed where Tommy is pointing, Mia looked at the two surprised.
``Lauren you can go ahead and order food. I will talk to them for a while.`` Mia said. Lauren smiled and nodded.
When Lauren is a few feet away from them she talked to Tommy.
``What are you three doing here?`` Sh immediately asked.
``On a vacation.`` Tommy answered. He saw Mia raised her brow and he sighed.
``We are very worried about you so we came here.`` Tommy said.
``Did Cole tell you where I am?`` She asked.
``Cole knew about you leaving?`` Tommy shockingly said.
`` No, he followed me here.`` Mia said defensive. Tommy was the one who raised is brow this time.
``He followed me here.`` Mia said to dismiss their conversation.
``I will just call Cole later to inform him that we are here.`` Mia just nodded.
Mia noticed that Lauren is coming with the cake she bought.
``Lauren, are we going to eat here?``
Lauren nodded.
``You could sit with us if you want.`` Tommy offered.
``No it`s okay Dr. O, we better look for another table.`` She looked around and to her dismay, all the table are taken.
``I think it`s okay , Mia, besides the cafe is full.`` Lauren said.
``But.``
``As you can see Mia no more tables are available at this time. There are two sits available in our table. Better join us.`` Tommy said. Tommy went ahead as Lauren followed. Mia sighed.
``Guys.`` Tommy said to get his companions attention. ``I want you to meet Lauren, Mia`s friend. Lauren, this is Jason and Conner.``
``Hi! Nice meeting you both.``
``Hello, nice meeting you too!`` The two men said in unison.
``Mia it`s good to see you here.`` Conner happily said. While Mia glared at him.
``Hey is that how you greet someone as handsome as me.`` He said.
Mia sighed even more on this. Jason just laughed at this together with Lauren.
``Let`s eat.`` Mia stated and started to dig in.
``So tell me Lauren, how did you and Mia met?`` Jason asked.
``Well, our parents knew each other and she lived in our house for almost 2 years together with our 4 other friends and my brother.`` Lauren politely said.
``4 other friends?`` Jason said.
``Yes, Mike, Kevin, Antonio and Emily.``
``No adults looking after you?`` Tommy curiously asked.
``Well, we have Ji our guardian.`` Lauren stated. Mia felt something at this as Jason and Tommy`s faces becomes serious as They asked lauren.
``So you have been living in a house with 4 boys with only one guardian?`` jason said
``Yes, is there something wrong with that?`` Lauren is now looking at them. Jason smiled and shook his head.
``No, nothings wrong with it.`` He looked at Mia who is now just staring at the food she is eating.
``We were just not informed in that kind of scenario.`` Tommy said.
Mia suddenly blurted and laughed. ``It`s so warm in here don`t you think?``
``It`s fine, it`s not that warm.`` Lauren answered.
``Is that so.`` Mia said.
``why are you Trying to change the subject?`` Lauren asked. All three men smiled at how innocent Lauren is. Mia faked her smile.
``Why can`t you get the hint on this.``
``I can`t believe you`ve worked in Reefside when you aren`t here. How does it feel to work with them?`` Lauren asked as they walked going home.
``Tiring.`` Mia answered.
``is the work hard.``
She shook her head. ``No, it`s fun to work with them.``
Lauren smiled. ``I wish I could work with people like them someday.``
``Really. Didn`t you see how they keep on pestering me. God, on what you told them a while ago, they won`t stop pestering me about it.``
Lauren laugh, ``They are just concern. They care for you, I can see that.``
Mia smiled at that. ``I know.``
``Oh, we are here.`` Lauren said.
``Lauren wait.``
``Yes!``
``Is Emily mad at me?`` Mia stated looking at Lauren sadness is evident in her voice.
``Emily and Mike aren`t together now.`` Lauren started.
``Oohhh.. I didn`t, Emily might have been hurt and I`m not there to comfort her.`` Mia sadly said.
``It`s not that, it was Emily who broke up with Mike.`` Mia looked at her shockingly.
``Emily is inlove with someone else.`` Lauren said. ``And she already confessed to him.``
``Who is he?``
``Jayden.``
``Did Jayden tell Emily that I did confess to him before. Is that why she`s avoiding me?`` Mia said as she look at the ceiling. ``Lauren didn`t tell me what Jayden`s answer. I guess they are already going out.``
She sat down on her bed and decided to go out. She went to the dojo and grabbed a kendo stick. And started to practices, she imagine that she is fighting Mechedek, but suddenly everything went black.
``Is this the doing of the Celestial beast. It has been long since they brought me here.``
``Fight the one that binds you from your destiny, vessel.`` A voice said.
``Byakko.``
She tried to look through the darkness to find Byakko but failed. Suddenly a bright light appeared, when the light vanishes a girl wearing their samurai training uniform with her face and hair covered with a mask, is standing in front of her holding a sword like her.
``Fight her, Vessel, she is the seal that keeps you from gaining your full power.``
``Byakko. Where are you?``
``Fight her and break your own seal.``
The girl started to attack her, and all she could do is blocked it. When she sees a chance to counter she attacked and she was able to remove her mask.
``Impossible.`` Mia said shock written all over her face and wasn`t able to notice that the girl attacked her over again.
She cried out in pain as she slowly losses her consciousness.
``How is this possible.``
Jayden is in the kitchen drinking water when he heard that someone went inside the dojo. He went to check who it is, only to find Mia. He watched her as she practice and notice that she is now using different style in fighting.
After a few Minutes Mia suddenly collapsed to the floor. He run to her and tried to wake her up, but he failed. He carried her and brought her to the infirmary and went to wake up Mentor Ji.
``What happened, Jayden?`` mentor Ji asked as he checked on Mia.
``She was in the dojo practising when she suddenly collapsed.`` Jayden said.
Lauren who heard the commotion came in and saw the unconscious Mia.
``What happened to her?`` She asked as she went beside the girl.
``She is just exhausted. She just need to rest.`` Mentor Ji said.
Jayden sighed in relief when he heard what Mentor Ji said.
``The two of you should go to bed now.`` Mentor ordered.
``It`s okay,Mentor. I will stay here for little longer.`` Jayden said.
``Same with me Mentor.`` It was Lauren. Mentor just sighed and nodded and left.
Lauren took a seat at Mia`s right while Jayden is at her left.
``Mia had been working in Reefside for the past year she isn`t here.`` Lauren started.
``How did you know that?``
``I saw her boss and talked to them.``
``When did you see them?``
``Yesterday, when we went to the Cafe. He was with the person named Conner.``
Jayden looked at Lauren when he heard that name. The person that called Mia when she arrived.
``He is handsome.`` Jayden`s eyes widened as the door opened and a very shocked Antonio and Mike appeared.
``Antonio, Mike!`` Lauren said as she was surprised by the sudden intrusion.
``I can`t believe this.`` Mike seems that he loses strength as he tightly hold to the door frame and to Antonio`s shoulder.
Antonio is doing thesame. Jayden wasn`t moving from his chair as if spiders are sorrounding him. Lauren notices this.
``Did I say something wierd?``
The three boys are about to speak up when Mia cried out in pain. Everyone rounded her up while Lauren checks her up.
``Is she having a bad dream?`` Mike asked.
While checking Mia, Luaren saw a bruise on Mia`s shoulder.
``How is this possible?`` Lauren slightly yelled taking everyone`s attention.
``What is it, Chica?`` Antonio worriedly asked.
``Look at this wound on her shoulder it is still new. Are you sure Jayden that she didn`t hit herself a while ago?``
``Yes, she was just training then she collapsed.`` Jayden answered
``Then where did this one came from?`` Lauren looked at the three who are likely confused as her. ``Jayden, go get the first aid kit.`` Jayden nodded and took the kit place on the side table beside him before he went out of th infirmary together with Mike and Antonio.
Lauren finished tending to the Mia`s wound when she heard groan coming from her.
``Mia`s awake.`` She announced.
Everyone came in and saw Mia sitting on bed.
``How are you feeling right now?`` Jayden asked.
Mia give everyone a fake smile. ``I`m okay.``
``Are you sure?`` Mike worriedly asked.
Mia nodded. She touch her shoulder and remember what happened earlier.
``We should let her rest.`` Lauren suggested.
``You should rest to guys.`` Mia said.
``It`s okay, we will stay her to watch you.`` Antonio siad.
Mia smiled and shook her head.
``Go, I`m fine, beside I want to go back to my room and rest there. I feel more comfortable resting there.``
``Okay.`` Lauren sid and assisted Mia in standing up.
Mia looked at her with gratitude.
Jayden becomes more worried as he felt that something is wrong with Mia but keeping them away from it.
``I know that everyone of you wanted to ask Mia on what is happening to her but as of now, she isn`t ready to tell us . All we could do is wait. I hope you could do that.`` Lauren said as she left them outside Mia`s room.
``Yeah, Lauren is right. what we should do now is solve the present problem?`` Mike said. Jayden`s brows forrowed at what Mike means.
antonio looked at him questioningly.
``What?`` Mike said. ``It`s about that Conner guy. It`s the first time I heard Lauren give a comment like that to someone. And take note, that person is a male.``
``Yeah, you are right mi amgo.`` Antonio agreed. ``We should do something about that.``
Jayden just shook his head as he followed the two talking about his sister.
" Lauren is right. I don't have to force Mia to tell me everything. What is important is she is back here with us."

Mia: I still don't understand why you brought me back here?
Me: Don't you want to see your friends?
Mia: Of course I do, But.
Me: Especially Jayden?
Mia: *Sigh* If your still thinking that I still like him, I'm not sure anymore, besides.
Me: You never let him finish his sentence.

Conner: Why are you pairing my dear little sister to just any guuy?
Me: How did you come here, your not supposed to be here?
