Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Tears from the Sky ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3

 

In the Nether Realm, Badamon is keeping a close eye on the Mouri house. Readying himself for yet another attack, he has decided upon the intended victim.

 

“I will strike tonight,” says Badamon gleefully. “By the time I am done, the son shall hate his father and I will have driven yet another nail into their coffins.”

 

……………

 

Walking down the stairs, Hoshi finds that the others have been waiting for him. After stepping off the last step, Hoshi glances around at the others.

 

“So, we're all going?” Hoshi asks.

 

Kira nods her head. “Miki wanted to go since Nami was going. And who knows? Maybe Kaida will stay with us.”

 

“She's not back yet?” asks Makoto, glancing at the blonde girl.

 

“Nope,” replies Kira, shaking her head.

 

“Well,” says Nami, placing a hand on the door and opening it. “Let's go swim.”

 

The five teenagers walk out the door, but just as they are about to close it, Ryo grabs the door.

 

“Kids?” asks Ryo, glancing at the teenagers. “If you see Dais or Sekhmet, can you send them back to the house? Kayra just arrived and she wants to meet.”

 

“Ok,” replies Hoshi, nodding his head.

 

Smiling, Ryo shuts the door behind the teenagers. Walking down the steps from the porch, the teenagers quickly start to move toward the lake. Only minutes pass before they find themselves at the lake. And just as Kira assumed, Kaida is still at the lake, with her Warlord company.

 

“Hey, Kaida!” shouts Nami, rushing to the water's edge and into the lake.

 

“Hey, guys!” says Kaida, glancing between the Warlords and her friends.

 

Instead of joining Nami in the lake, the other teenagers gather around Kaida, Dais, and Sekhmet.

 

“Umm, Kaida?” asks Miki, hoping he's not about to say something he'll regret. “Where's your bathing suit?”

 

Sure enough, neither Warlords nor Kaida are wearing a bathing suit. In fact, though their hair is still wet, the threesome is dressed in normal clothing.

 

“Well,” says Kaida, blushing. “We didn't use….ummm bathing suits.”

 

“We felt no need for them,” says Dais.

 

“Ryo said you're needed up at the house,” says Makoto, coolly.

 

“Did he mention why?” asks Dais, getting to his feet.

 

“Why don't you run along and ask him,” replies Makoto, sneering.

 

“Makoto!” says Kaida, getting to her feet as well. “You're being rude.”

 

“Stay out of it, Kaida,” says Makoto, without evening looking at the girl.

 

Ignoring the boy's behavior, the Warlords begin to walk back to the house. Once the Warlords are out of hearing, Kaida turns to Makoto. Marching over to him, she gets into his face while placing her hands upon her hips.

 

“What the fuck was that about?” demands Kaida, glaring at the brown haired boy.

 

“Maybe I should ask you the same thing,” replies Makoto, coolly. “I would think you wouldn't want anything to do with them after what happened.”

 

“Lady Kayra said it herself. All three of us were victims,” states Kaida.

 

“Oh, they seemed real hurt by what happened that day,” sneers Makoto.

 

Not knowing what to do, the other teenagers just stare at Makoto and Kaida.

 

“Ummm, guys?” says Miki, hoping to calm the other two down.

 

Hearing enough, Kaida steps away from the group. Storming away from the lake, Kaida yells at Makoto over her shoulder. “Stay the hell away from me, Makoto!”

 

Saying nothing, the boy just glares at the departing young woman. Once she is gone from sight, Makoto turns his attention back to his friends.

 

“I can't believe she would let them touch her!” says Makoto, angrily.

 

“Well, what I'm wondering is, does it bother you she's with them or that, now that she has them in her life, she's not interested in you?” asks Kira, raising a brow.

 

Stepping toward the blonde girl, Makoto raises a hand. Moving forward quickly, Hoshi grabs his friend by the wrist. Tightening his hand to get the other boy's attention, Hoshi glares at his best friend.

 

“Don't touch her,” rumbles Hoshi. “Don't ever touch her.”

 

Jerking his hand away, Makoto turns and leaves the group. Walking out of the water, Nami glances toward her departing brother before she joins the others.

 

“Did I miss something?” she asks.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: My muse has kinda left me on this story, so don't expect any updates soon. I'm hoping that my muse has only taken a mini vacation, rather than an extended one.
