Fan Fiction / Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Change in Tides ❯ Finding the Truth ( Chapter 19 )

Entering the war room made the Ronins nervous because they knew how much Pluto didn't like them. “So are we going to spar or what?” Ryo moved first grabbing a pair of Katanas from the sword rack. Soon the other Ronins grabbed weapons to their liking and took defensive stances against Pluto. Kento was the first to lunge at Pluto but missed. This is going to be fun.

 

Hour passed quickly and Pluto felt like he was starting to like the Ronins. “Pluto you grew up with those six girls how did you stay sane?” Pluto almost doubled over at Ryo's question.

 

“Easy I learned how to stay on their good side.” Rowan started to laugh until he noticed that Pluto wasn't laughing.

 

“You're not kidding?”

 

“Have you ever seen Starfire mad?” Rowan shook his head. “Be glad. She is just as hot tempered as Red and Sun.” Soon the continued battling unaware of the audience they had.

 

“Not bad for guys.” Moonstriker nudged her sister. “What?”

 

“Be nice.”

 

“You're only saying that because you like Torrent.”

 

“So?”

 

“So you will stand up for him even against me.” Starfire glanced over to see Uranus leaning against the window watching the Ronins. “Hey Ancient Warrior, when can we send them home?” Uranus never looked at Starfire.

 

“Soon all I need is a certain Tantales's spell book and then I can send them home.” Uranus glanced at Moonstriker noticing her sad expression. “Don't worry about it now Moon.”

 

“I know. We should get back on patrol.” The night and earth warrior nodded before they followed the water warrior out of the palace.

 

Cye and the other Ronins plopped down in the chairs of the dining hall. Pluto wore them out with sparing. Plus hanging out with Pluto gave them an opportunity to find out more about the six girls that the young prince grew up with. Pluto told them everything from Sun's dreams of being a rock star to Neptune's fear of spiders. Pluto also found that the Ronins weren't as bad as he thought. He noticed that Rowan and Sage had a special relationship that they didn't seem to want anyone to know. So that's what Sun and Saturn were talking about. I guess they make a good couple. I'm so glad that I'm not a girly guy or that would sound like a normal thing to say.

 

“So Pluto have you always gotten a long with those girls?” Sage leaned forward towards Pluto.

 

“God no! At one point I hated both my sisters, wanted the twins to drop off the face of the Earth, and I loathed Nep and Uranus. But that changed over time; I guess they grew on me.” Pluto smirked thinking back how he would fight with everyone constantly. “The only ones I really got a long with were Bronze and White Hawk.” Pluto lowered his gaze.

 

“Can you tell us who exactly Bronze Hawk was?” Pluto nodded.

 

“He was my best friend. We came to the valley together with White Hawk. He was the Hawk Warrior of wind and honesty. He got along with everyone even Red Hawk and his fiery temper. As we fought Didnao he became a strong warrior and one day while battling a group wolvalocks Gold got thrown into him and they both ended up looking into each other's eyes. Since I hated her I totally blamed her for him getting hurt that day, but he was happy about it. Next thing I know by best bud is going nuts over a girl and thing that made me the angriest was she felt the same way towards him.” Pluto looked up at the ceiling. “I guess I was having those same feelings when you guys showed up. It was like I was losing my best friend all over again.” Kento looked at Pluto in shock. “Anyway another battle happened and he risked his life for Gold and she was heart broken and I blamed her for his death for a long time. It wasn't until after we found out we were Sun Warriors that I started to get along with her and the others.” Pluto stood up and began to leave. “I'm gonna go find Neptune so I'll see you guys later.”

 

“C-ya Pluto.” Sage turned to Kento. “Was I the only one that caught what he said?” Ryo shook his head.

 

“Nope. He basically said what happened between Bronze Hawk and Neptune is happening again. I wonder who she likes?” Sage, Cye, Ryo, and Rowan all turned towards Kento. Kento looked up at his friends.

 

“What?” The four Ronins shook their heads at their friend.

 

“Kento, Pluto just basically said that Neptune likes you.” Sage watched his friend just stare at him like her was idiot.

 

“That's not what he said.” Rowan and Ryo both nodded at him. “I didn't hear him say that.”

 

“Kento he said that when Bronze Hawk fell in love with Neptune he felt like he was losing his best friend and that since we've shown up its happening again. And we've heard from almost everyone that Neptune and Pluto are best friends.” Kento still was confused by what they were trying to tell him. “Kento if Pluto feels that he's losing his best friend again to someone else because they are in love with someone then that would mean that Neptune is in love with someone.” Then it hit Kento.

 

“Are you saying that you guys think Neptune likes me?”

 

“Yes!” The four Ronins felt more then frustration towards their friend.

 

“I think I need to find Neptune.” Kento got up from his chair and quickly went to find Neptune. They can't be right I mean yeah she kissed me but nothing else has happened; all she told me was to follow my instincts. What does she mean by that? Kento looked up to see Neptune and Pluto talking.

 

“Nep, you should tell him.” Neptune looked at her older cousin.

 

“Since when is the mighty Pluto telling me to tell a guy I like him?”

 

“Since he's an all right guy.”

 

“Oh so you like him now huh?” Pluto nodded. “It's not that simple to tell him I like him Pluto. Besides he's an earth warrior; I'm a wind warrior.”

 

“Yeah and you were once Gold Hawk the earth warrior. You and Hardrock have been brought together for a reason Nep.” Neptune shrugged.

 

“If you say so Pluto.” Pluto glanced back to see Kento.

 

“I do. Um…I've got to go talk to Star so I'll catch you later.” Pluto walked away from Neptune and towards Kento. He jerked his head towards Neptune and patted Kento's shoulder. Kento carefully walked up behind Neptune and wrapped his arms around her waist startling her.

 

“Sorry.” Kento whispered against the wind warrior's neck causing her to shiver.

 

“It's all right. You just scared me.” Neptune tried to pull away, but Kento held her tighter. “Why are you doing this Hardrock?”

 

“Because someone told me once to follow my instincts and that is exactly what I am doing.” Kento brushed his lips against Neptune's neck causing her to tense. “I can see why he loved you so.”

 

“What do you mean?” Neptune felt like she was melting in his arms; a feeling she hadn't felt since Bronze Hawk.

 

“Bronze Hawk. I love how you try to push everyone away but deep down you're kind and caring. You don't let your guard down but you will let others get close to you.” Neptune turned to face Kento with confusion on her face. “ And you don't know how beautiful you truly are Neptune.” Kento placed his finer under Neptune's chin forcing her to look up at him. He stared into her black eyes seeing if she was going to protest in anyway before he leaned down and kissed her. Neptune placed her hands on Kento's chest as she felt her legs begin to give way. Kento tighten his hold on the woman he held close to him as he ran his tongue over her bottom lip. Neptune parted he lips as Kento pushed his tongue into her sweet mouth. I could live with this.

 

Neptune couldn't believe she was doing this; she felt like she was betraying Bronze Hawk, but at the same time she knew it was all right. Breaking the kiss Neptune looked shocked still and Kento couldn't help but panic. Neptune looked up at Kento and sensed his fear. “Kento?” Kento was taken back.

 

She has never called me Kento. “Yes?” Neptune looked at him for a long time before she leaned up and kissed Kento. Hardrock was now more then confused but decided to leave it alone. The girl that he had fallen for was kissing him back of her own free will. Neptune pulled away and rested her forehead against his.

 

“I'm guessing you overheard what Pluto and I were talking about?”

 

“Yeah. Sorry about that.” Neptune shook her head.

 

“Don't be. Pluto was right we were brought together for a reason Kento. So lets live in this moment while we can.” Neptune rested her head on Kento's shoulder.

 

Bronze I hope this is what you wanted. Little did the two warriors know that they were being watched. A young man with brown hair and blue eyes stood with a young woman with silver hair and grey eyes.

 

“Bronze are you happy for her?” The woman looked at the man next to her.

 

“I couldn't be happier Ice. I love her and want her to be happy. Kento is good for her. Besides she will always love me Ice.” Ice looked at the young warrior that she knew as Gold Hawk.

 

“If that is what you want then I guess its all right. But we should return to the spirit realm before Thorac comes looking for us.” Bronze Hawk nodded.

 

“I love you Gold and be happy for me.” Neptune lifted her head thinking she heard something.

“Neptune?” Kento looked down at the wind warrior in his arms.

 

“Don't worry about it Kento. I think I just heard something in the wind.”
