Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Poison ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 3

 

The meeting had long since broken up, though the Ronins and Cale were no closer to figuring out where Satsuki was. Sage finding that he couldn't remain inside the house, opened the door. Having only just barely stepped outside, Sage stops what he is doing and watches a red jeep pull up the house.

 

As the jeep came to a stop, Sage walks over to the driver's side door and waits for the engine to be turned off. Opening to door, Sage waits until Mia had gotten out of the car.

 

“Nice to see you, Sage,” says Mia, smiling.

 

Slowly the smile drains off of her face as she really looks at the blonde warrior.

 

“What's wrong, Sage?” asks the older woman. “Is Cale still bothering your sister?”

 

Shaking his head, Sage lets out a hopeless laugh, but closing his mouth. Taking a deep breath, he runs a hand through his hair.

 

“It's worse,” says Sage. “Satsuki is gone. Sekhmet took her. We don't know where she is.”

 

“Oh my God,” says Mia, raising a hand to her mouth. “Do we have any clues?”

 

“He's using Satsuki as `insurance' against us. He said we would know where to find him when the time comes,” explains Sage.

 

Nodding her head, Mia strides for the door to her house.

 

“Come on, Sage,” says Mia, as she opens the door. “We need to find your sister.”

 

…………….

 

Calling the meeting back into order, Mia took a moment to control herself when she first watched the Dark Warlord enter the room with the other Ronins. Her mind floated back into the memories of the past, remember the first time she had seen him.

 

For a moment, she allows her mind to run through the early memories she had of the Warlords and how the Ronins had, in the end, defeated Talpa. Shaking her head, Mia gets her mind back on the matter at hand.

 

“What do we know?” she asks.

 

“Not much,” replies Cye, shrugging his shoulders.

 

“Sekhmet took Satsuki to use against Sage and Cale,” says Rowen. “He said that, when they were ready, they'd be able to find him.”

 

“So, he must have taken her to a location that we would know of,” says Mia, pacing around the room.

 

“But where?” demands Kento.

 

“Well, I would say that, since the main members involved in this are Sage and Cale, then the location must have meaning for them,” says Mia, pausing to stop pacing in front of the two men.

 

“But I can't think of any place on the mortal realm where Sekhmet could have taken her,” says Cale, shaking his head.

 

“What about you, Sage?” asks Mia, cocking her head to look at the younger man.

 

“I don't know,” says Sage.

 

“Is there any place you think of when you think of Satsuki?” asks Cye, glancing between Mia and Sage.

 

“Our home?” says Sage, without any enthusiasm.

 

“I don't think Satsuki is the key here,” says Mia, shaking her head. “Sage, did Sekhmet say that you'd know where to find them or him?”

 

Blinking his eyes, Sage glances once at the Warlord before looking at Mia.

 

“He said him, not them,” says Sage.

 

“What does that matter?” demands Cale, taking a step toward Mia. “How will this help us find her?”

 

“I think Sekhmet, not Satsuki is the key here,” explains Mia. “So a better question is, is there any place you can think of when you think of Sekhmet?”
