Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Tears from the Sky ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

By late afternoon, Hoshi and his father, Rowen, had arrived at the lakeside Mouri house. Dashing up the stairs, Hoshi enters the house before his father. Scanning the entryway, he finds that no one is waiting for him. But hearing noise from the living room, Hoshi walks into there to find Kaida and Kira.

 

“Hey,” says Hoshi, gaining the attention of the two young women.

 

Both girls turn to him, one blonde and one dark haired.

 

“How's it going?” asks Kaida, smiling in greeting.

 

“Not bad,” replies Hoshi, sparing a glance at the dark haired girl before glancing at the blonde.

 

“Did your visit go well?” asks Kira, knowing that Hoshi had been at his mother's grave that morning.

 

“Yeah,” replies Hoshi, nodding his head. Yeah? Geez, could I should more stupid?

 

Nodding her head, Kira glances once more at her best friend.

 

“So, you're thinking of going for a last of year swim?” asks Kira to the other girl.

 

“Yeah,” says Kaida, nodding her head. “We're not going to have much nice weather left.”

 

“Do you want some company?” asks the blonde of her friend.

 

“Actually,” replies the daughter of Ryo, blushing. “I already have some company joining me.”

 

Watching the by-play between the two girls, Hoshi quickly realizes whom Kaida means by “company”.

 

“You don't mean Sekhmet and Dais?” asks Hoshi, staring at Kaida.

 

“And if I do?” demands Kaida, eyes flashing.

 

“But…” starts Hoshi but trails off.

 

“But what?” asks Kaida, stepping toward the boy.

 

“I think what Hoshi means is after what happened a couple weeks ago,” helps Kira.

 

Shaking her head, Kaida smiles once at Kira before turning her attention back to the young man.

 

“It wasn't their fault,” says Kaida, firmly. “I won't blame them.”

 

Nodding his head, Hoshi finds himself at a loss as to what to say. Memories flash through his mind, Hoshi finds himself remembering that day when he and the others had gathered in the living room to be told that the new enemy of the Ronin Warriors and Warlords had struck. Used by the Nether Spirits, Sekhmet, Dais, and Kaida had been forced into having sex in the woods. Shaking his head at the memory, Hoshi can only stare at the young woman.

 

Who would want to spend time with a couple guys after they had raped you? Well, they didn't mean to rape her, thinks Hoshi.

 

“Anyway,” says Kaida, walking toward the door to the living room. “I'm late to get down to the lake. See you guys later.”

 

Leaving the room, Kaida quickly heads for the door and out of the Mouri house. Finding himself alone with the woman he likes, Hoshi stares at the floor. Unable to think of what to say, he feels relieved when he hears the sound of voices.

 

“I think it would be better if we kept the kids here,” says Ryo, walking into the living with the other Ronin Warriors following him.

 

Stopping when he sees that the living is in use, Ryo smiles at Kira and Hoshi.

 

“Let's ask them,” says Cye, nodding his head toward two of the children in question.

 

“Ask us what?” asks Kira, glancing once at her father, Sage, before looking at Cye.

 

“Do you want to be home schooled here by Mia?” asks Cye.

 

“Well, I think we shouldn't allow them to force us into changing our habits,” replies Kira, after a careful debate.

 

“Hoshi?” asks Sage, glancing toward Rowen's son.

 

“I agree with Kira,” says Hoshi, nodding his head.

 

“See,” says Cye, turning to look at Ryo.

 

“Well, I'm still not convinced,” replies Ryo, shaking his head.

 

“Geez, man!” says Kento. “It's not like they'll be in some other country.”

 

Listening to the men debate the fate of the teenager's schooling, Hoshi finds himself dwelling on other things. Finding that he doesn't want to remain in the living room, Hoshi turns and leaves the room. Heading for the stairs, Hoshi stops when he hears his name called. Turning around, he notices that Kira also followed him out of the room.

 

“Nami and Makoto mentioned going down to the lake later,” says Kira, cocking her head. “Care to join us?”

 

“Sounds like fun,” replies Hoshi, smiling.

 

“Ok,” replies Kira, nodding her head. “We'll come get you in, like, a couple hours?”

 

“Sounds good to me,” replies Hoshi, staring down at the blonde girl.

 

Done with what she had planned, Kira turns and walks away, leaving the young man on the stairs.
