Chapter One

The Mysterious Girl




It was a hot summer's day in Shinjuku. School was out for summer break; Mia and the boys were getting ready for the beach. Ever since the fall of the evil dynasty, the men were trying to get back to a normal life. This was their chance to have fun for once. Cye was in charge of the food, as usual.

“Let's see. Sandwiches, chips, soda. . .” Cye said to himself as he looked over the food.

“Tuna,” Kento added, putting a container in the cooler.

“No tuna,” Cye said, eyeing his friend.

“And why not?”

“Because it's not a food you bring to the beach.”

“You're just saying that because you don't like fish.”

“No. . . well. . . that's one reason yes, but tuna isn't made for the beach; it's too messy.”

“Fine.” Kento said and took the container out of the cooler. Ryo was coming down the stairs with a backpack over his shoulder. He spotted Kento walk out of the kitchen in a huff.

“What's wrong with you?” he asked, putting his bag down beside him.

“Cye won't allow tuna on the trip to the beach,” Kento said, sitting on the sofa.

“Well, can you blame him?”

“I guess not. Hey, is Rowen and Sage almost ready?”

“Yeah, I think.”

“Let's go,” Rowen said, walking down the stairs with Sage not too far behind.

“That’s everyone. Let’s get everything into the jeep then,” Mia said as she made her way down the stairs as well.
“I’ll get everything into the jeep,” Kento said as he got up. “It’ll save us time.”

“That’d be great,” Mia said.

Kento gathered everyone’s stuff and walked out the door. Cye walked out with the cooler full of food and drinks.

The trip to the beach wasn’t fun at all. Kento kept complaining on being hungry— while driving Sage and Cye crazy. Rowen smacked Kento over the head and told him to chill. All of them started to laugh and discussed what they were going to do when they got there. Cye looked out the window. It was great that life was back to normal, but how long will it last? Cye didn’t enjoy the fact that his destiny was decided on fighting evil. He was the pacifist in the group and always leaned toward peaceful matters.

Within an hour they were there. The first one out of the car was Kento, who took everything and headed down to the beach.

“Well that was easy,” Rowen laughed as he got out.

“Too easy, you mean,” Sage added.

Kento picked a spot not too far from the ocean, but not too far out into the sun. The beach was crowded with families, couples and friends. Children ran in all directions with their pales and shovels.

“Nice spot, Kento,” Ryo commented.

“Thanks,” Kento said as he lifted the lid to the cooler and took out a sandwich.

Ryo took out the towels and laid them side by side on the sand. Sage and Rowen grabbed the two towels at the end. Kento sat on the one between Ryo and Cye; with a bag of chips on his lap, a sandwich in one hand and a cola in the other. Mia sat in a chair that she had brought along and rubbed sunscreen on herself. Cye, on the other hand, walked toward the ocean where tons of kids were splashing around.

He stepped into the water, which wasn't cold for him, and walked out just far enough to go under. He swam a long distance until he saw tiny fish and coral at the bottom. He saw some shells at the bottom as well and decided to collect some for Mia. Fish were swimming near him as he picked up shell by shell. That's when he saw a dolphin that was caught in some sort of net. Cye swam towards the dolphin to try to set it free. “This net is too tough to cut,” Cye thought.

He didn't care and grabbed the net, trying to break it. The dolphin struggled, but was losing energy fast. Cye tried as hard as he could, but it wasn't good enough. That's when his kanji appeared on his forehead which ripped the net in two. The dolphin swam freely towards him. He petted it on the head. Who could have done such a thing? The one thing Cye hated most—besides his friends and family getting hurt— were people treating sea creatures horribly.

Back on the beach, Ryo sat up with a start. He felt something weird hit him. It was as if someone sent a radio signal to his brain, but there was no radio. Rowen turned to Ryo with a concerned face. “What’s wrong, Ryo?” he asked.

“I... I think Cye is in trouble,” Ryo said, putting one hand on his forehead.

“Cye?” Kento asked.

“Where is, Cye?” Rowen asked, looking around for his friend.

“Haven't seen him,” Ryo said.

“I’m sure Cye is fine,” Sage said.

“Yeah. He can take care of himself. Plus if he was in any danger, we would all get vibes,” Kento added.

“But I did get some sort of vibe,” Ryo explained.

“I didn’t get anything,” Rowen said.

Kento and Sage both agreed that neither of them got any vibes or signals indicating that Cye was in any danger. Usually when one of them was in danger, the others would sense it. It was because they were all linked by their virtues and armor. For some reason, it seemed that Ryo had a stronger sense for danger. It could also be that he was the bearer of the inferno armor; where everyone else’s power was linked.

 “There’s nothing to worry about,” Kento said to Ryo.

Ryo nodded, but he couldn’t help the feeling that something was going to happen to Cye.

“Who did this to you?” Cye asked the dolphin.

The dolphin swam under Cye, taking him further from the beach. He looked up and saw a shadow of a boat floating above them. Cye got off the dolphin and swam to the surface. Just as he popped his head out, a bunch of flying spheres attacked him. He went back under water to the dolphin.

“Thanks for helping me. Now go, this place is too dangerous for you,” The dolphin nodded and swam away.

He smiled and waved goodbye to his new friend, then headed back up to the surface. The flying spear attack had stopped. Taking a deep breath, he swam toward the boat. He grabbed the side of the boat and boosted himself up. He got onto his feet and looked around.

“I don't see anyone. How can this boat just be out here without anyone?” he asked himself.

“There's someone on the boat,” said a voice.

Cye turned around to see a girl who had black hair that was pulled up in a ponytail. “Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to intrude, but a net was cast from here and it trapped a dolphin,” Cye said, looking straight into her blue eyes. Her eyes were kind and sincere; there had to be a mistake. There was no way this girl could have trapped that dolphin.

“I'm sorry, my dad must've done that,” she said. “I’ll make sure he doesn’t do it again.”

“Does he usually come here to trap fish?” Cye asked, trying not to sound bitter.

“Sometimes? This is the first time I’m with him.”

Cye looked around the area and then back at her. “Where is he now?”

“He got a hook stuck in his hand. The wound was deep so he swam back to the shore to get some treatment.”

Something didn’t make sense. How could a human swim all the way back to the beach, when they were far out into the ocean? Cye was an exception because he was the bearer of Torrent. He still didn’t really understand why he could breathe for so long under water. He didn’t question it too much, but he was strong enough to swim long distances. A normal human would get tired if they swam that far; unless they were well-trained.

“My name is Hana Suzuki. Who are you?” Hana said, breaking Cye’s train of thought.

“I'm Cye, Cye Mouri. Nice to meet you,” Cye said. He shook her hand and then remembered the flying spheres that were aiming toward him. “Um...Hana, you don't have people who use spheres do you?”

“No. What makes you ask such a question?”

“Uh...well, it's nothing. I'm sorry that I asked.”

“I forgive you.” Hana smiled.

The rest of the day went by smoothly. Cye spent time with Hana. He got to know her better and she didn’t seem too bad. He was had fun talking to her. She seemed interested in most of the things he was into. Pretty soon the sky was painted with neon pink and orange colors.

“Oh no. It's getting dark and my friends are probably worried sick about me,” Cye said, standing up.

“I can get you to your friends, if you want me to,” Hana said, standing up as well.

“You'll do that for me?” he asked.

“Of course. Just hold on tight,” she said as she took hold of the wheel.

“What about your father?” He held onto the side of the boat as Hana made a turn.

“I’ll contact him and tell him where to meet me.”


“CYE! HEY CYE, WHERE'D YOU GO?!” Kento shouted. He wandered the beach, looking in groups of people to see if Cye was there.

“CYE! ARE YOU IN HERE?!” Rowen yelled into the bathroom.

“CYE! WHERE ARE YOU?!” yelled Ryo.

Mia sighed and looked into the sunset. “Cye…where could you be?”

“HEY GUYS! I FOUND HIM!” Sage called out. He was standing at the edge of the water.

“You did?” Ryo asked as he ran up to him.

“Yeah. He's on the ocean, in a boat,” Sage said. He pointed at a small boat that was coming toward the beach.

“HEY CYE!” Kento yelled as he waved his arms in the air.

“Is that one of them?” Hana giggled.

“Yeah. That's Kento,” Cye said, waving back.

Once they got to shore, everyone ran up to the boat. Cye jumped down and Kento ran up to him, grabbing his head with his arm.

“Cye, where were you?” Mia asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Well, I went for a swim. I saw a dolphin that was caught inside of a net. I helped it out and it took me to the people who set the net. That's when I saw Hana's boat,” Cye explained as he tried to get free from Kento’s grip. “Sorry that I didn't tell you.”

“It's okay. As long as you're safe,” Mia said.

“So this is Hana?” Kento asked, looking at Hana who was still on the boat.

“Yes. Hana these are my friends, Ryo, Sage, Rowen, Mia, and you already know Kento.”

“Nice to meet you,” Hana said, bowing.

“Nice to meet you,” everyone said at once.

“Well, I better get going. I have to contact my father and see where he is,” Hana said. She waved at Cye and his friends. “Hey, maybe we'll see each other again.”

“Yeah, maybe,” Cye said.

“Bye. Nice meeting all of you,” Hana said as she backed the boat out.

“Bye,” Ryo said.

Cye watched Hana drive off until she was seen no more. Kento smiled and walked up to Cye.

“Mmm. Someone has a crush,” Kento said from behind Cye.

“What? A crush? No way. Besides we just met,” Cye said.

“Ever heard of love at first sight?” Kento teased.

“You're asking for it, Kento,” Cye said, heading toward the car parking lot.

“Aw, come on. You know I'm right.” Kento said, running after Cye.
