Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Change in Tides ❯ Feelings Revealed ( Chapter 18 )

A few days past as the two groups perfected their plan to attack the Dark Warriors and this morning seemed like any other. Rowan was talking to Sun quietly as Sage stole glances every now and then towards the two. He couldn't help but feel jealous towards Sun; she was always talking with Rowan. He must like her. If she only knew how lucky she was. Suddenly Saturn busted into the dinning hall looking she seen a ghost.

 

“Sun, Rowan, Sage come with me quickly.”

 

“Saturn?”

 

“I'll explain later just come on I found something.” The three followed Saturn down the hall until the entered the war room. Rowan looked around kind of confused.

 

“Um…Saturn what so important?” Saturn looked at Rowan and smiled.

 

“Sorry Rowan I hope you'll forgive me for this.” Saturn raised her hand and flicked her hand to the right throwing Rowan into a small room. Sage looked at Saturn in surprise.

 

“Saturn what are you doing?” Sun tapped on Sage's shoulder.

 

“Sorry Halo but you two are driving us nuts.” Sun did a quick spin kick knocking Sage into the same room that Rowan was just thrown into. Before the two Ronins could react the door was slammed shut and locked. Sage smirked.

 

Do they think that locking the door would keep us in this room? Sage ran at the door and was quickly thrown back. “What the hell?”

 

“Nice try Halo but I put a force field up so you couldn't break down the door. Now you two admit that you like each other already and we'll let you out otherwise. Forget it.” Saturn sat in a chair she brought into the room earlier when Sun was relaying the plan to her.

 

“Saturn let me out.”

 

“Just admit you feelings for Rowan Sage and we will.” Sun leaned up against the wall next to the door. “All you have to say is I like you Rowan as more then a friend.” Sage stood frozen not believing that Sun just spilled his secret to Rowan. Sage felt so humiliated that he couldn't turn to face Rowan. Rowan couldn't believe his ears and all he could do was stare at Sage's back.

 

Sage has the same feelings that I do? Rowan stepped towards his best friend. “Sage?” Sage shivered at the sound of his name, but refused to turn around. “Sage what is Sun talking about?”

 

“I told Saturn that I care about you Rowan more then just friend.” Sage turned around to face Rowan. “What I'm trying to say is that I think I'm in love with you.” Rowan stepped back in shock and Sage took his reaction as rejection and turned away. Rowan quickly grabbed his best friend's arm forcing him to face him.

 

“Do you mean that?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“That you love me. Do you mean it?” Sage looked at Rowan trying to find some kind of hint.

 

“Yes I meant it.” Sage looked away in shame, but Rowan grabbed Sage's chin. Sage looked at Rowan seeing confusion mixed with happiness dancing through his eyes. Rowan cupped Sage's cheek forcing Sage to lean into his touch.

 

I hope you were right about grabbing love when you get the chance Sun cause if you're wrong I'm gonna kill you. Rowan leaned in brushing his lips against Sage's. Sage was shocked by how up front Rowan was being. Rowan kissed Sage again only this time Sage wrapped his arms around Rowan's waist. Rowan traced Sage's lips asking for admittance to the hot cavern. Sage more then happily complied deepening the kiss. The two Ronins soon found themselves wrapped up each other.

 

Sun smirked as she heard Rowan moan from the other side of the wall; she winked at Saturn as she moved away from the wall. Sun knocked on the door after Saturn let down the force field. “We're leaving and you two can come out whenever you're ready.” The two sisters walked towards the war room door when they heard the door behind them open. They looked over their shoulders to see Rowan and Sage with smiles on their faces.

 

“Now you two do realize you will be getting pay back for that?” Sun rolled her eyes at Rowan's comment as she headed for the library. Saturn shrugged and went towards Orange Hawk's laboratory. “I mean it!” Rowan turned back to Sage. “Why didn't you tell me how you felt Sage?”

 

“I could ask you the same thing.” Rowan nodded. “Who would have thought those two would turn on us like that.” Starfire entered the war room unaware of Sage and Rowan presence. “Hey Star.” Starfire looked up and gave Rowan a confused look.

 

“Why are you two coming out of the weapons closet?” Sage couldn't help but laugh. “Did I miss something?”

 

“Saturn and Sun locked us in the closet and…well…they wouldn't let us out till we admitted something.” Rowan felt his face start to burn.

 

“Oh. So in other words they wouldn't let you out of the closet until you two finally admitted you like each other?” Rowan and Sage nodded. “Now I see the humor behind my question. Anyway the others are waiting for you. Swanalow wants to go over some parts of the plans.”

 

“Star is something wrong?” Starfire looked exhausted and it looked like she had some bruising on her right arm.

 

“No. Just tired.” Rowan knew Star was lying but he knew she wouldn't tell him. Starfire walked up to a bar that hung from the ceiling. She grabbed the bar and lifted herself so her back was facing the floor. Then she began to do a type of pull up as the two Ronins left the room. Sage and Rowan walked down the hall in silence until they reached the door that lead into Swanalow's throne room. Rowan reached for the door handle when Sage grabbed his wrist pulling him towards Sage. Sage wasted no time capturing Rowan's lips.

 

The two Ronins were so engrossed in each other that they didn't hear Neptune and Moonstriker walk up to them. “Are we interrupting something?” Sage and Rowan jumped away from each other blushing. Rowan glanced between the two warriors noticing the bruises on Moonstriker and the scratches on Neptune.

 

“What happen to you two? And Star? You guys are beaten up pretty badly.” Rowan reached up to touch Neptune's scratch on her face, but Neptune swatted his hand away.

 

“It's nothing; now don't you two have somewhere to be?” Moonstriker was grinning from ear to ear.

 

“Stop it Moon.” Sage looked at the water warrior. “Or I'll start asking about Cye.”

 

“Ask away.” Moonstriker and Neptune giggled as they walked towards the direction of the war room. Sage couldn't believe Moonstriker it was like nothing could faze her. Shaking his thoughts away Sage opened the door to find everyone waiting for them.

 

“Glad you could join us Ronins.” Swanalow smiled at the young warriors as the came to stand next to their friends. “Now about your roles in the plans…” Swanalow was interrupted by a young woman carrying a spear entering the room.

 

“Princess forgive me. I bring news about the four.”

 

“Speak Spear.” Swanalow walked over to Spear.

 

“They were attacked this morning. They were hurt badly but Guardian healed most of the wounds and Green Hawk finished off what major damages were done.”

 

“What's left of their wounds?” Swanalow's stare intensified.

 

“Pegasus has bruises on her arms and legs, Sea dragon has bruises on her arms, Werewolf has a broken wrist, while Guardian has a few scratches on her face and arms.”

 

“Thank you Spear. You are dismissed warrior.” Swanalow bowed to the woman who returned the bow and left. “Well looks my young ones need time to heal.”

 

“Who were they talking about?” Ryo watched Swanalow carefully as she approached her throne.

 

“Starfire, Moonstriker, Uranus, and Neptune.” Swanalow leaned on the throne looking out the nearby window.

 

“They were attacked?”

 

“Yes.” The others turned towards Sage. “Rowan and I saw the bruises and scratches on them.”

 

“When did you see them Halo?” Swanalow stared at the light warrior.

 

“We saw Starfire in the war room; she was doing some type of pull up.” Sage looked at the floor. “We saw Neptune and Moonstriker outside the door before we entered.”

 

“So they're fine but what would attack them that would cause hem to get hurt unless they were outnumbered?” Swanalow became lost in thought as she wondered what happened to her four protectors. The Ronins waited until Swanalow began to speak again. “I will go over the plans with you all tomorrow. Forgive me for wasting your time Ronins.” Ryo stepped forward and bowed.

 

“Don't worry about it Princess Swanalow.” The Ronins left the Princess Swanalow to her thoughts and wandered to the dining room. Pluto was seated with his sisters when the Ronins entered the room.

 

“What do you want?” Pluto hated the warriors more then ever especially Hardrock. They were the cause of so many injuries against his family and his best friend was stolen away by that idiot Hardrock.

 

“We wanted to check up on the twin, Uranus, and Neptune.” Pluto looked up from his food.

 

“They're fine.” Ryo noticed that Pluto tone wasn't exactly friendly and by Sun and Saturn reaction they knew it too.

 

“What's your problem bro?” Sun was upset by her older brother's attitude towards the Ronins.

 

“Stay out of this Sun.” Sun stood up.

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“You heard me Sun.” Pluto shot a dirty look towards Sun. “This is between me and them.”

 

“Well what is between you and them Pluto?” Saturn looked at her brother.

 

“Oh now you're going to get involved!” Pluto slammed his fist onto the table. Starfire and the others entered the room to see Pluto slam his fist on the table. “Okay since everyone wants to get involved. I don't trust them! I think they have caused nothing but trouble since they arrived! They are tearing us apart!” Pluto was on his feet and storming towards the door, but Neptune stepped in his path. “Move Nep.” Pluto's voice sounded like a growl.

 

“No. Pluto listen to me and listen well. You and I are best friends and nothing will change that.” Neptune grabbed Pluto's chin forcing him to look at her. “Nothing.”

 

“Whatever. I need to get out of here.” Pluto pushed Neptune out of the way and left everyone confused.

 

“Nep?” Neptune glanced back at Uranus.

 

“Not sure Ancient Warrior, but I will find out.” Neptune walked out of the dining hall to find her `twin'. Pluto I wish I knew what your problem was.

 

My problem is them! Neptune stopped and looked at the nearby window to see Pluto sitting on the sill.

 

What did they do to you?

 

They have been causing a lot of problems. They are the reason that the Dark Warriors are attacking us more often and they are the reason that our group is falling apart. Pluto looked down at Neptune. Neptune knew that was more behind why Pluto was mad at the Ronins then he let on.

 

That's not all is it Pluto? Neptune walked up to the window and rested her elbows on the sill next to Pluto's feet.

 

No. Pluto looked back out the window. It's been us seven for so long that it's like we're letting them in without keeping our guard up.

 

You're lying again. Come on Pluto we've been able to tell each other everything for years don't shut me out now. Neptune glanced up at her older cousin.

 

It's Hardrock. I just don't like him. Neptune stood up and placed her hand on Pluto's knee.

 

You think he's taking me away don't you? Pluto nodded. Pluto you are MY BEST FRIEND; I would never forget about you or let anyone take me away from you. But what I don't understand is why didn't you act like this when I was with Bronze?

 

We weren't really friends then remember; in fact didn't we hate each other? Neptune smiled.

 

Oh yeah. Man who would have thought we would do a 360 and end up best friends? Pluto smirked.

 

Do you really like him Nep? I mean a lot like him? Neptune shrugged. You don't know?

 

Not yet at least. I'm not like you Pluto. When you saw Snowflake you knew she was the one, but after Bronze Hawk now I'm not sure anymore. Pluto touched Neptune's hand.

 

For your sake I will try to get along with them, but it's not going to be easy.

 

Think of it this way you're not the only boy anymore. Pluto pushed Neptune lightly as the two laughed. The Ronins came around the corner to see the two winter warriors laughing. Pluto looked back to see the Ronins and jumped off the sill.

 

“Sorry about the way I acted earlier umm…Friends?” Pluto geld out his hand to Kento. Kento smiled as he shook Pluto's hand.

 

“Friends.” Neptune smiled and squeezed Pluto's arm as she walked by.

 

“Remember what I said Pluto.” Pluto smirked.

 

“I will.” The Ronins felt lost but decided to leave it be. “So do you guys want to spare or something?”
