Chapter 5

 

“Did you hear me?” demands Rowen, furious with his son. “Kayra is your mother.”

 

Shocked, Hoshi can say nothing to his father.

 

“When you were five…” starts the older man, but he watches as Hoshi shakes his head.

 

“You lied me,” says the boy.

 

“Let me explain,” gentles the man, realizing what a shock this must be to the younger man.

 

“No,” says the boy with such finality. “I don't want to hear anything you have to say.”

 

Turning, the boy leaves his father behind while the older man calls after his son. Running down the hall and the stairs, Hoshi bursts out of the door.

 

Following his son down the stairs, Rowen ends up in the entryway, but alone.

 

“What's going on, Ro?” asks Kento.

 

“Let me guess,” says Sage, shaking his head. “He just found out.”

 

“Found out what?” ask Kento, glancing toward the blonde warrior.

 

“About Kayra and Rowen,” says Cye, who is still standing mostly in the living room.

 

“What are you all talking about?” demands Dais.

 

“When Kayra had to return to the Nether Realm, they decided to tell Hoshi that his mother had died,” explains Cye.

 

“I take it, the boy just found out the truth?” asks Cale, with a raised brow.

 

“Yes,” mumbles Rowen, still staring out the door that his son left through.

 

“What are you going to do about it?” asks Ryo. “You need to talk with him.”

 

“No, he doesn't.”

 

Turning as one, the Warlords and Ronins watch as Kayra walks down the stairs.

 

“Rowen shouldn't be the one to talk with Hoshi. I left him. I need to talk with him,” she says.

 

“Do you think this is a good idea, Kay?” asks Rowen, staring up at his wife.

 

“Good or not, I have to do it.”

 

With no more than a glance toward the man she loves, Kayra walks out the door and goes in search of her son.
