Chapter 1
An Exchange Student?!
By: Kaibafan1 a.k.a Siera Star
******************************************************** *********
The Ronins along with Sekhmet and Dais walked into the mansion to find Cye, Mia, Anubis, Kayura, and Cale cleaning.
“Hey Mia, What’s going on?” Ryo asked.
“Were going to be having a guest for a while,” Mia said turning to them.
“A guest?” Kento asked.
“Yeah, she’s an college exchange student from America,” Cye said. “She’s 17 and her name is Maria.”
“Were having a girl exchange student,” Sage said, getting one of those looks he always got whenever he found out he was going to meet a new girl.”
“She’s 17 and a college student,” Kento said. “Whoa!”
“What are we going to do about White Blaze,” Ryo said. “He’ll probably scare her.”
“That’s not really a problem,” Mia said. “She’s going to be bringing a silver fox with her and she said she owns a panther after I told her about White Blaze.”
“I’ve never heard of a silver fox,” Rowen said.
“She sent a picture of it,” Anubis said handing Rowen the picture that came with the girl’s letter.
It was a silver fox, just a bit smaller than White Blaze and had two tails. A jewel was in the middle of its forehead.
“That’s no ordinary fox,” Sage said.
“The girl’s going to be opening a museum of ancient artifacts here,” Kayura said. “She’s an expert in ancient drawings and weapons.”
“When will she be here?” Kento asked.
“She’ll be arriving later today,” Mia said. “I’ll need two of you to go pick her up at the airport. She’ll also have some large crates with her, so take the van.”
“Me, Sage, and Rowen can go,” Ryo said.
“Yeah, we’ll pick her up,” Rowen said.
“Thanks, you guys,” Mia said.
“What’s her last name?” Kento asked.
“Oh! She didn’t say,” Mia replied. “And I forgot to ask her.”
“Well, we should eat now,” Ryo said. “This way we can get a head start to the airport.”
“Alright,” Rowen said as Cye, Mia, and Anubis went into the kitchen to fix lunch.
Kayura turned to the three warlords, “You guys better behave yourselves while she’s here.”
“Yeah, Yeah,” Sekhmet said as he headed upstairs.
“That means no calling us by our armor names,” Kento said.
“Whatever Hardrock,” Dais said, heading outside.
“How are we going to find her,’ Sage asked. “We don’t even know her flight number.”
“Mia gave it to me before we left,” Ryo said. “It’s flight 168.”
“She must be rich,” Rowen said. “That’s a first class flight.”
“There’s where the flight door is,” Sage said, pointing to a door with 168 on it.
“Alright, let’s go and wait for her,” Ryo said. They went through to the waiting room and saw that the flight had just landed.
“Hopefully we can find her,” Sage said as they watched everyone leaving the plane. “We don’t even know what she looks like.”
As they were talking a girl that looked to be in her late teens walked off the plane.
“I wonder if that’s her,” Rowen said.
“She’s good looking,” Sage said.
The girl had long midnight black hair that went down to behind her knees. It was held up by a jeweled hair tie. She looked to be about 5`2” and was wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. She had a necklace with a beautiful locket hooked up to it as well as some type of crystal. She had a crystal bracelet around her wrist and had black knee high boots.
“Probably is,” Rowen said.
“C’mon let’s go see for sure,” Ryo said.
They walked off towards the girl. As they got closer she noticed them and walked up to them.
“Yes, I am,” I replied. “You must be Mia’s friends.”
“We are,” Rowen said. “She sent us to pick you up.”
“That’s kind of you,” I said. “They should be unloading the crates any moment.”
“Let’s go get them,” Sage said. We walked towards the baggage room.
“Oh! Mrs. Star,” the baggage man, who was called Kent, said.
“Hello Ken,” I said as he brought over a crate on wheels. There were holes in the sides of it. “I hope she wasn’t any trouble.”
“Aww, she was no trouble at all,” he said opening the door as a large silver fox stepped out.
The fox stretched her legs then walked over to me and sat down silently.
“She was quiet as a mouse,” Kent said.
I smiled and pat her on the head.
“This is Feline,” I said to the three.
“I’m Ryo,” Ryo said. “These are my friends Rowen and Sage.”
“And you already know my name,” I said. “Kent has the crates been unloaded yet?”
“As a matter of fact, they have,” Kent said, he led us to the back where two large crates stood.
“Are these it?” Ryo asked.
“Yes,” I said. “The others are still in Tokyo, at least until I can get the museum my family bought up and running.
“What’s in here?” Sage asked as he and Rowen had to grab both ends of the crate.
“That one is swords and some other artifacts,” I said smiling. “Are you sure you can carry it, it’s really heavy.”
“Yeah, we’ve lifted heavier stuff before,” Rowen said as the three of them placed it on a dolly so they could just roll it out to the van.
“Well, Mia assured me, when I told her that the crates, that you guys could handle it,” I said following them out.
“So your family pays for the museum that opened up in Tokyo, that huge artifacts museum,” Rowen said.
“Yeah,” I said. “My brother is it’s owner right now, but since I specialize in armors and swords he bought a museum here so I can put up all the warrior artifacts we have.”
Feline raised her as we reached Mia’s mansion. A blast of recognization ran through my mind.
I shook my head, “Why does this place feel so familiar?”
“Hey, Maria,” Rowen said. “You alright?”
“Huh, Yeah,” I said as we got out, Feline climbing out behind me.
White Blaze came out of the house along with the others.
“Hello Maria,” Mia said coming up to me. “We’re happy to have you.”
“Thank you,” I said inclining my head.
“And who is this,” Mia said, bending to pet Feline.
Feline went right up to Mia and allowed Mia to pet her. White Blaze watched her the walked over to me.
“Why hello there,” I said smiling, petting him. “You must be White Blaze.”
“Yep, that’s White Blaze,” Ryo said patting White Blaze on the head.
Mia stood up, “I think we should introduce ourselves.”
“I’m Kayura,” Kayura said walking over to me and holding out her hand.
I smiled and shook her hand, but as soon as I did, I felt a strange shock go through me. I didn’t let it show as I stepped back.
“The one next to me is my husband Anubis,” Mia said.
I inclined my head, “Nice to meet you.”
“And this,” Kayura said as Cale, Sekhmet and Dais came over. “is Sekhmet, Dais, and my husband Cale.”
I looked at them and felt a strange feeling go up my spine. I felt as if I knew them, but I couldn’t quite place it. They were also looking at me strangely.
“White Blaze,” a voice yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I turned to see a young boy running towards White Blaze, missing the look Dais gave me.
“Hey, you alright?” Sekhmet’s voice asked in his head.
“Yeah,” he answered back. “She just seems…”
“Familiar?” Sekhmet said. “As if we already know her?”
“Yeah,” he said.
“I know, Anubis and Cale sense an aura that feels familiar too,” Sekhmet replied.
Dais didn’t say anything, he looked back at me.
“White Blaze!” a voice yelled.
“Hey Kento,” Yuli said, he looked over at me. “Hi, I’m Yuli.”
I walked over to him, “I’m Mari and this is Feline.”
Feline trotted over to us, she eyed White Blaze warily then lightly pressed her head against Yuli’s outstretched hand.
“Cool,” Yuli said. “Can she play with me and White Blaze?”
“Yeah, go ahead,” I said as Feline yipped and followed Yuli and White Blaze.
Kento and Cye came over.
“Hey, I’m Kento,” Kento said. “And this is my buddy Cye.”
“Hello,” Cye said.
“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you,” I said smiling.
“Umm, what’s your last name?” Kento asked.
“It’s Star,” I said. “My full name is Maria Star.”
All four warlords looked at each other, that was the same name as the girl they once knew. Could it really be her, but if it was, what happened.
The warlords blinked as they came out of their pondering. The Ronins were now playing soccer with me, Feline, Yuli, and White Blaze.
“Do you remember the girl I told you about?” Anubis asked.
“The one that disappeared a while ago, because Talpa had believed she was a traitor?” Mia said.
“Yeah, her name was also…” Anubis paused. “Maria Star.”
“What!” Mia looked over at me. “You mean Maria is…”
“But she doesn’t seem to recognize us,” Cale said. “Which either means, it’s not her or…her memory was erased somehow.”
“What’s wrong with Dais?” Kayura asked. They looked and saw that Dais was watching me. He had a frown and looked to be in deep thought.
“The girl, Maria, that disappeared…” Cale started.
“Dais had…been…” Anubis looked at her. “in love with her.”
Mia’s and Kayura’s eyes widen.
“He was in love with her,” Mia whispered.
“Yes,” Sekhmet said nodding sadly. “After she disappeared, he grew distant and any mention of her cause to go into a mode of silence. The soldiers didn’t dare say her name, for fear of being killed by his rage.”
“Poor Dais,” Kayura said.
“How can we tell for sure if this is the Maria you guys once knew?” Mia asked.
“Before she disappeared she had left behind a necklace,” Sekhmet said. “She had given it to Dais, somehow she must have known she wouldn’t be coming back.”
“If we could somehow get those two alone…a lot,” Cale started. “Maybe she’ll start to remember, because I believe it really is her.”
“I do too,” Sekhmet said. “There’s no doubt about it, it’s her. Herr fox also has an aura of power around it.”
“Will Dais be willing to help?” Mia asked.
“I’ll help,” Dais said turning to them, making them jump. He had a determined look on his face.
“How are we going to get you two alone?” Kayura asked. “Because I really don’t think the Ronins should know yet, they might go a little too far.”
“You’re probably right,” Mia said. “But…I’m sure Cye will help.”
“I want to help, what can I do?” Yuli asked. Mia looked down at him.
“We’ll see,” Mia said. “But you’ll have to keep quiet.”
“No problem,” he said as and White Blaze went back to playing with Feline.
I shook my head, I was just kidding myself. I had a family, even if we didn’t act like one. I had an older brother and a younger sister, but in a way we weren’t a family.
Clearing my head I looked over and saw Mia, Anubis, Kayura, Cale, Sekhmet and Dais talking. Sighing I walked over to them.
Mia looked up and saw me heading over to them.
“Hey Maria, how are you doing?” She asked as the others looked at me.
“Alright,” I said as I stood next to her. “They sure are energetic.” I was watching Ryo, Sage, Cye, Kento, and Rowen play football.
“You’re telling me,” Mia said. I looked at her confused, my head tilted to the side.
“Maria,” Kayura said.
“Yes?” I looked at her.
“Who takes care of you?” she asked. “The paper we got said that your parents were dead.”
“They are,” I said turning away. “My father died not too long ago, but…” I looked up at the Ronins. “I don’t remember too much about what happened or my life before my brother took me and my younger sister in.”
“What about your mother?” Kayura asked.
“She died a long time ago,” I said looking away.
“What was her name?” Mia asked.
I looked at her, “Selene.”
The Warlords eyes widen, now they knew for sure.
“It is her,” Dais thought. The other three heard as well.
“I’m sorry,” Kayura said. “I shouldn’t have asked.”
My eyes softened, “It’s okay, it doesn’t bother me. I know she lived her life to the fullest. Even though she’s gone, a part of her still remains.”
Kayura smiled at what I had said. I seemed to have knowledge beyond my years.
“Oh!” Mia said. “I almost forgot, you brought some crates with you.”
“Yeah, they’re in the van,” I said.
“I’ll show you to a room where they can be put,” Mia said.
“Thanks,” I turned to go to the van.
“We’ll get them,” Anubis said as he, Dais, Sekhmet, and Cale went to the van to get the crates.
“Thanks,” I said. “Feline!”
Feline came running from where she had been playing with Yuli and White Blaze. I smiled and picked up my suitcases, following Mia and the others.
“This will be your room,” Mia said as she opened the door.
The room had black and silver drapes and the bed was a silver canapé bed. The walls were a cross between ocean blue and snow white. There were sliding doors that lead to a balcony. In the corner was a desk with a black laptop sitting on top of it.
“That laptop was sent here earlier today, addressed to you,” Mia said.
“Jakar probably sent it,” I said. “He knows I take it everywhere I go.”
“Jakar?” Kayura said.
“My brother,” I said.
“Oh,” Kayura said.
“I hope you like your room,” Mia said.
“Thanks,” I said. “It’s nice. I’m just not used to fancy rooms.” I suddenly turned quiet and went back to looking at the room. It was more than she thought it would be. Anubis and the others came in and looked at me.
“Maria?” Mia asked.
“Oh,” I snapped out of my thoughts. “I guess I spaced out again.”
“Is anything wrong?” Mia asked.
“No, it’s nothing,” I said looking away.
“Alright, it’s getting late,” Mia said, “You’re probably tired from the trip. We’ll leave you to rest.”
“Thanks,” I said, “I am a little tired.”
“If you need anything, we’ll be downstairs,” Mia said smiling.
“Alright,” I said, “Goodnight.”
“Night, Maria,” Kayura said, as they left closing the door behind them.
“Liar,” a voice said, “something is wrong.” I looked over at Feline, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. “What is it?” she asked as I sat down next to her.
“I don’t know,” I said, bringing up my knees. “I feel as if this place, I’ve been here before and I feel as if I have met them before.” Feline didn’t say anything. “I sound weird, don’t I.”
“No, not at all,” Feline said. Gently stretching. Her beautiful silver-blue eyes showing wisdom. “Do not worry, you will see the truth soon enough. For now we must do what we came here to do.”
I nodded and opened my suit case, a crystal sat on a chain glowing slightly. “ A Neither Youkai is close, while we’re here we have to keep the others from knowing who I am.”
“Yeah,” Feline said, as I put on a black fighting-gi and tied my hair up with a jeweled tie. “Can’t let the know that you have powers and fight Dynasty Realm and Neither Youkai.”
“Let’s go,” I said sternly, as I opened the sliding door to the balcony. I stepped out and reached out with my senses. Everyone else was asleep by now, except…two people were awake in the living room. “Alright,” I whispered as we jumped off the balcony and went through the forest to the town. Halfway into the forest we looked to make sure no one was around.
“Shadow Crystal Power!” I shouted, a black sailor fuku with silver gloves and a silver star in the middle appeared on me. The boots were black with silver trimming and a black handle sword with a blood red gem on the handle appeared at my side. A silver crescent with black roses on either side appeared on my forehead.
“Here we go,” I said, as black torn wings came out of my back.
“Shadow Fox Armor!” Feline roared, as black crystal armor appeared on her back with a black helmet that protected her face. Her twin tails grew to nine tails with black tips. She grew larger in height then a tiger.
“I’m ready,” she said as we came close to town. We burst out of the forest and into the area where the negative energy was coming from.
“Kuso!” I growled.
“Who are you,” I snarled. Holding my sword in front of me.”
“I am Kitan neko-youkai of the Kage Realm,” said the neko-youkai. “I’m here to destroy the ones known as the Ronin Warriors.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, the Ronins or whatever aren’t here,” I growled. “But I’ll just have to destroy you before you find them.”
“You may try,” Kitan said, “However you will fail.”
“We’ll see,” I snarled. I raised my sword as I shot forward, “Crystal Eternal Slash!” A blast of lightning shot out of my sword and went at Kitan. At the last moment, Kitan jumped out of the way.
“Youkai Blast!” Kitan roared as a ball of light shot from his sword towards me. Waiting until the last moment, I transported behind him.
“Fool, you underestimate me,” I growled as I placed a hand on his back and a blast of light came out of my hand.
“What!!” he yelled as he turned to dust.
Feline landed next to me, “We must leave.” I looked towards the sound of sirens and the sound of helicopter. A helicopter’s light landed on us, quickly we shot into the woods. As soon as we were hidden we transformed back to normal.
It took ten minutes to reach the mansion without being noticed. We jumped to the balcony as silently as we could. We slipped silently through the sliding door.
Feline sat next to the bed as I slid the door shut, “That was fast.”
“That was too easy,” I said sitting down and undoing the tie in my hair. “Especially for one of the major neko-youkai.”
“You’re becoming stronger,” Feline said.
“Maybe, but I still feel uneasy about this,” I looked over at Feline who was half-asleep.
“Don’t worry,” Feline said laying down. “I’m sure everything will be fine.”
“Yeah, maybe you’re right,” I said, slipping my fighting-gi off. I slipped on my pajamas and slipped under the covers of the bed. “Goodnight Feline.”
“Goodnight Maria,” Feline said, as she fell asleep.
“I hop Feline’s right,” I thought, as I closed my eyes. I fell into a light sleep.
“What’s up?” Kento asked, heading towards his bedroom.
“Were you raiding the fridge again?” Rowen asked.
“Hey, I was hungry,” Kento said, “So what are you standing there for?”
“Maria just got back from somewhere,” Rowen said.
“She probably went for a walk with Feline,” Kento said. “After all, they were cooped up on a plane for around 18 hours.”
“Maybe,” Rowen said.
“Well I’m going to bed, see ya,” Kento said, entering his room. Rowen shrugged and headed to the room he shared with Sage.

“Hey Mia, What’s going on?” Ryo asked.

Ryo, Rowen, and Sage walked into the airport’s main building.“How are we going to find her,’ Sage asked. “We don’t even know her flight number.”
“Mia gave it to me before we left,” Ryo said. “It’s flight 168.”

They walked off towards the girl. As they got closer she noticed them and walked up to them.
***** *****
I got off the plane and looked around. Mia had said that some of her friends would pick me up. I looked up and saw three teenage boys walking towards me. One had raven colored hair, another was blond, and the third had blue. I walked towards them.***** *****
“Are you Maria?” Ryo asked.“Yes, I am,” I replied. “You must be Mia’s friends.”
“We are,” Rowen said. “She sent us to pick you up.”
“That’s kind of you,” I said. “They should be unloading the crates any moment.”

“Well, Mia assured me, when I told her that the crates, that you guys could handle it,” I said following them out.
***** *****
Fifteen minutes later we were heading to Mia’s. The three Ronins were learning many things about me.“So your family pays for the museum that opened up in Tokyo, that huge artifacts museum,” Rowen said.
“Yeah,” I said. “My brother is it’s owner right now, but since I specialize in armors and swords he bought a museum here so I can put up all the warrior artifacts we have.”
Feline raised her as we reached Mia’s mansion. A blast of recognization ran through my mind.

“Why does this girl seem familiar?” Dais thought. “She looks just like her, but she didn’t even recognize us.” “No,” he thought, shaking his head. “It’s not her, she disappeared a long time ago.”“Hey, you alright?” Sekhmet’s voice asked in his head.
“Yeah,” he answered back. “She just seems…”
“Familiar?” Sekhmet said. “As if we already know her?”
“Yeah,” he said.
“I know, Anubis and Cale sense an aura that feels familiar too,” Sekhmet replied.

“Hey Yuli,” Kento said as Yuli reached White Blaze’s side.“Hey Kento,” Yuli said, he looked over at me. “Hi, I’m Yuli.”
I walked over to him, “I’m Mari and this is Feline.”
Feline trotted over to us, she eyed White Blaze warily then lightly pressed her head against Yuli’s outstretched hand.

Mia’s and Kayura’s eyes widen.

“Before she disappeared she had left behind a necklace,” Sekhmet said. “She had given it to Dais, somehow she must have known she wouldn’t be coming back.”
“If we could somehow get those two alone…a lot,” Cale started. “Maybe she’ll start to remember, because I believe it really is her.”
“I do too,” Sekhmet said. “There’s no doubt about it, it’s her. Herr fox also has an aura of power around it.”
“Will Dais be willing to help?” Mia asked.
“I’ll help,” Dais said turning to them, making them jump. He had a determined look on his face.
“How are we going to get you two alone?” Kayura asked. “Because I really don’t think the Ronins should know yet, they might go a little too far.”
“You’re probably right,” Mia said. “But…I’m sure Cye will help.”
“I want to help, what can I do?” Yuli asked. Mia looked down at him.
“We’ll see,” Mia said. “But you’ll have to keep quiet.”
“No problem,” he said as and White Blaze went back to playing with Feline.

“They’re like a family,” I though watching them all. “If only my family could be just like them.”I shook my head, I was just kidding myself. I had a family, even if we didn’t act like one. I had an older brother and a younger sister, but in a way we weren’t a family.
Clearing my head I looked over and saw Mia, Anubis, Kayura, Cale, Sekhmet and Dais talking. Sighing I walked over to them.
Mia looked up and saw me heading over to them.
“Hey Maria, how are you doing?” She asked as the others looked at me.
“Alright,” I said as I stood next to her. “They sure are energetic.” I was watching Ryo, Sage, Cye, Kento, and Rowen play football.
“You’re telling me,” Mia said. I looked at her confused, my head tilted to the side.
“Maria,” Kayura said.
“Yes?” I looked at her.
“Who takes care of you?” she asked. “The paper we got said that your parents were dead.”
“They are,” I said turning away. “My father died not too long ago, but…” I looked up at the Ronins. “I don’t remember too much about what happened or my life before my brother took me and my younger sister in.”
“What about your mother?” Kayura asked.
“She died a long time ago,” I said looking away.
“What was her name?” Mia asked.
I looked at her, “Selene.”
The Warlords eyes widen, now they knew for sure.
“It is her,” Dais thought. The other three heard as well.
“I’m sorry,” Kayura said. “I shouldn’t have asked.”
My eyes softened, “It’s okay, it doesn’t bother me. I know she lived her life to the fullest. Even though she’s gone, a part of her still remains.”
Kayura smiled at what I had said. I seemed to have knowledge beyond my years.
“Oh!” Mia said. “I almost forgot, you brought some crates with you.”
“Yeah, they’re in the van,” I said.
“I’ll show you to a room where they can be put,” Mia said.
“Thanks,” I turned to go to the van.
“We’ll get them,” Anubis said as he, Dais, Sekhmet, and Cale went to the van to get the crates.
“Thanks,” I said. “Feline!”
Feline came running from where she had been playing with Yuli and White Blaze. I smiled and picked up my suitcases, following Mia and the others.
***** *****
Mia led me up the stairs and down to a room that was the last on the right side. Anubis, Cale, Dais, and Sekhmet placed the crates in the room next to it.“This will be your room,” Mia said as she opened the door.
The room had black and silver drapes and the bed was a silver canapé bed. The walls were a cross between ocean blue and snow white. There were sliding doors that lead to a balcony. In the corner was a desk with a black laptop sitting on top of it.
“That laptop was sent here earlier today, addressed to you,” Mia said.
“Jakar probably sent it,” I said. “He knows I take it everywhere I go.”
“Jakar?” Kayura said.
“My brother,” I said.
“Oh,” Kayura said.
“I hope you like your room,” Mia said.
“Thanks,” I said. “It’s nice. I’m just not used to fancy rooms.” I suddenly turned quiet and went back to looking at the room. It was more than she thought it would be. Anubis and the others came in and looked at me.
“Maria?” Mia asked.
“Oh,” I snapped out of my thoughts. “I guess I spaced out again.”
“Is anything wrong?” Mia asked.
“No, it’s nothing,” I said looking away.
“Alright, it’s getting late,” Mia said, “You’re probably tired from the trip. We’ll leave you to rest.”
“Thanks,” I said, “I am a little tired.”
“If you need anything, we’ll be downstairs,” Mia said smiling.
“Alright,” I said, “Goodnight.”
“Night, Maria,” Kayura said, as they left closing the door behind them.
“Liar,” a voice said, “something is wrong.” I looked over at Feline, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. “What is it?” she asked as I sat down next to her.
“I don’t know,” I said, bringing up my knees. “I feel as if this place, I’ve been here before and I feel as if I have met them before.” Feline didn’t say anything. “I sound weird, don’t I.”
“No, not at all,” Feline said. Gently stretching. Her beautiful silver-blue eyes showing wisdom. “Do not worry, you will see the truth soon enough. For now we must do what we came here to do.”
I nodded and opened my suit case, a crystal sat on a chain glowing slightly. “ A Neither Youkai is close, while we’re here we have to keep the others from knowing who I am.”
“Yeah,” Feline said, as I put on a black fighting-gi and tied my hair up with a jeweled tie. “Can’t let the know that you have powers and fight Dynasty Realm and Neither Youkai.”
“Let’s go,” I said sternly, as I opened the sliding door to the balcony. I stepped out and reached out with my senses. Everyone else was asleep by now, except…two people were awake in the living room. “Alright,” I whispered as we jumped off the balcony and went through the forest to the town. Halfway into the forest we looked to make sure no one was around.
“Shadow Crystal Power!” I shouted, a black sailor fuku with silver gloves and a silver star in the middle appeared on me. The boots were black with silver trimming and a black handle sword with a blood red gem on the handle appeared at my side. A silver crescent with black roses on either side appeared on my forehead.
“Here we go,” I said, as black torn wings came out of my back.
“Shadow Fox Armor!” Feline roared, as black crystal armor appeared on her back with a black helmet that protected her face. Her twin tails grew to nine tails with black tips. She grew larger in height then a tiger.
“I’m ready,” she said as we came close to town. We burst out of the forest and into the area where the negative energy was coming from.
“Kuso!” I growled.
***** *****
A neko-youkai with a pitch black tail and blue fur was in the middle of the road destroying buildings. The neko-youkai turned towards me, “Hello princess.”“Who are you,” I snarled. Holding my sword in front of me.”
“I am Kitan neko-youkai of the Kage Realm,” said the neko-youkai. “I’m here to destroy the ones known as the Ronin Warriors.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, the Ronins or whatever aren’t here,” I growled. “But I’ll just have to destroy you before you find them.”
“You may try,” Kitan said, “However you will fail.”
“We’ll see,” I snarled. I raised my sword as I shot forward, “Crystal Eternal Slash!” A blast of lightning shot out of my sword and went at Kitan. At the last moment, Kitan jumped out of the way.
“Youkai Blast!” Kitan roared as a ball of light shot from his sword towards me. Waiting until the last moment, I transported behind him.
“Fool, you underestimate me,” I growled as I placed a hand on his back and a blast of light came out of my hand.
“What!!” he yelled as he turned to dust.
Feline landed next to me, “We must leave.” I looked towards the sound of sirens and the sound of helicopter. A helicopter’s light landed on us, quickly we shot into the woods. As soon as we were hidden we transformed back to normal.
It took ten minutes to reach the mansion without being noticed. We jumped to the balcony as silently as we could. We slipped silently through the sliding door.
Feline sat next to the bed as I slid the door shut, “That was fast.”
“That was too easy,” I said sitting down and undoing the tie in my hair. “Especially for one of the major neko-youkai.”
“You’re becoming stronger,” Feline said.
“Maybe, but I still feel uneasy about this,” I looked over at Feline who was half-asleep.
“Don’t worry,” Feline said laying down. “I’m sure everything will be fine.”
“Yeah, maybe you’re right,” I said, slipping my fighting-gi off. I slipped on my pajamas and slipped under the covers of the bed. “Goodnight Feline.”
“Goodnight Maria,” Feline said, as she fell asleep.
“I hop Feline’s right,” I thought, as I closed my eyes. I fell into a light sleep.
***** *****
Rowen stood in the hallway, “I wonder where she went this late at night.”“What’s up?” Kento asked, heading towards his bedroom.
“Were you raiding the fridge again?” Rowen asked.
“Hey, I was hungry,” Kento said, “So what are you standing there for?”
“Maria just got back from somewhere,” Rowen said.
“She probably went for a walk with Feline,” Kento said. “After all, they were cooped up on a plane for around 18 hours.”
“Maybe,” Rowen said.
“Well I’m going to bed, see ya,” Kento said, entering his room. Rowen shrugged and headed to the room he shared with Sage.
