Part One

 

Ryo Sanada was grinning like he was up to something big. This something was
very big indeed. He friends Kento Rei Faun, Cye Mouri, and Rowen Hashiba
had been keeping Sage Date’s secret birthday party a surprise. This was
special because it was Sage’s 19th birthday and was now legal to get all
that good pron, or so said Rowen and Kento. Cye merely rolled his eyes.

“Hey, Cye?” Ryo called, as he put the box of streamers in his deep red
Nissan Altima.

“Did you call the Bakery?”

“Yeah! They said to pick it up at three tomorrow. It’s going to be cool.”

“Good! I’ll do it!” Ryo smirked as he continued, “Rowen and Kento have
other plans for tomorrow afternoon.”

“Oh, I can guess.” Cye sighed, “Can we say…Children, Children.”

Ryo laughed.

“I wish…but they’re almost 19 like me. God, is the only who know…Wait a
sec, there are two more months for me. You and Sage are lucky.”

“If the preverts didn’t keep rubbing the facts than we can get and may I
quote ‘prono mags’ and get into the ‘peeps show’. Then again Sage doesn’t
really like those things. Those two better grow up one of these days.”

Ryo shook his head, his thick black hair falling in his sapphire eyes.

“Don’t worry about sanity. I think Sage has enough of it.”

“He’s gotten pretty cold and stiff lately. And still no girlfriend…you
think something was up with that?”

“God might be saving him for someone special. Hopefully, that someone
better show up before Mr. Date gets ready to turn twenty. He should really
go out…”

“Which is why our prezzie is good!”

A voice called out and interrupted Ryo before he could finish. Ryo and Cye
groaned.

“Rowen…Kento, what have you two planned,” moaned Cye.

Rowen grinned and flipped his blue hair back.

“Not much. It was Kento’s idea.”

Kento bowed. “Thank you, Thank you!” He straightened up and then said, “I
have planned a magnificent idea! A girl in the box for our buddy Sage to
take out and enjoy!”

“Sage will kill you,” Ryo warned them and continued, “Plus, it’ll freak poor
Mia out. Think of her condition! Don’t you even think?”

“Yes we do think, but you, Kento, might get the girl in the same condition
as Mia!” Rowen joked.

Mia was five months pregnant with Anubis’s child. Their Marriage was really
touching the way he helped her out and how their love shows in every thing
that they do. Ryo and Cye muttered nasty tricks to do to Sage before the
party as they went off towards Mia’s.

***

Mia, with a hand on her abdomen, picked up a few plates and loaded them in
the dishwasher. The child kicked her. She smiled very brightly.

“Not yet…” She whispered.

“Hmm?” Anubis asked from his newspaper.

Mia looks up, sweeping her long brown hair from back to over her shoulder
with one quick motion.

“I was just talking to the baby as usual.”

Anubis grinned like a father to be would grin, “What does the baby say
back?”

“’I don’t want to listen to you’ and gives me a kicks,” Mia smiled as the
baby did just that.

Anubis watched her contently close the dishwasher and sit down at the table.

“So have you heard anything from the others?”

“Nope. But they are doing a good job. Dropping no hints of Sage’s birthday
party and dropping plenty of hints as to say, ‘another day, so what?”

“Sounds means.”

“Trust me, for a surprise, it’ll work.”

“I hope so. The poor guy needs someone. He is so lonely if you haven’t
noticed.”

“I know, but maybe a woman will sweep him off him off his feet,” Mia stated.

He looked at her with a mischievously twinkle in his blue eyes.

“Just like you did me,” replied Anubis.

Mia tossed at him the dishcloth, and Mia tried to resume her chores. But
there was some one who got in the way. Anubis walked up and put his arms
around her. He then turned her around so she could face him. Then lean
towards her and kissed her passionately.

***

In another part of town walked a lone figure along the beach. His sandy
blonde blowing in the soft breeze of June. His violet blue eyes that seemed
troubled by something, as they stared out across the vast blue expanse of
water alight with colors of the setting sun.

It had just begun it's decent over the end of the earth but already it was
setting everything on fire. The low sky was ablaze of yellow, red, fading to
pink, blue, and then to a deep purple. The water almost blinding with the
light of the sun and the brilliant sky yet he didn't turn away just stood
there watching it lost in thought an almost sad look on his normally calm
face.

~ I know I should be happy now that Talpha is gone, but I’m not. Why? Why
do I keep feeling like I’m missing something? Why can’t I just be happy?
Why do I feel as if I need somebody close to me? WHY? ~

His mind was ringing with many “why this” or “why that” he could not answer.
He stopped walking and just stared out to the ocean the white foam crested
waves, struck the sand lashing up the beach towards his bare feet but never
quiet reaching him. Sage Date seemed very troubled a frown crossed his face
and his hands clenched in his pockets.

Then he hears a voice carried to him on the gentle breeze that washed over
the beach cool, clear, and clean, bringing the soft smell of the sea and the
voice. It was a young female voice that was singing somewhere off in the
distance, yet the song seems to be meant for him and him alone as he stood
there and listened a single tear glistened in his usually hard ice violet
blue eyes.

~ That beautiful voice. Where is it coming from? ~

He closed his eyes and listened to the song that was being sung and it
swept him up and away with it. He felt as if he knew this voice he'd heard
it sometime before yet no matter how hard he tried he couldn't figure out
who it was, or where he'd heard the voice.

Look at the sky
Tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes
And describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling
With starlight tonight
That’s what I see
Through your eyes

I see the heavens
Each time that you smile
I hear your hear heart beat
Just go on for miles
And suddenly I know
Why life is worth wild
That’s what I see
Through your eyes

Here in the Night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It’s out of hands
We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

I look my self
And instead I see eyes
Whoever I am
Now it feels like enough
And I see a girl
Who is learning to trust
That’s who I see
Through your eyes

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It’s out of hands
We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking though your eyes.

And there some things
We don’t know
And some times
Our hearts just needs to grow
There is so much I’ll remember
Underneath the open sky
With you forever

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It’s out of our hands
We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

Looking through your eyes

Then slowly the soft lovely voice faded away. He opened his eyes wondering
where it could have come from. Slowly he turned from the ocean and started
walking again not sure where he was going the crashing of the waves beat in
the back of his mind in a steady rhythm that matched that of the song. He
didn't realize it but he was humming the song he just heard the lovely voice
sing.

~ Who ever it was, sure sounded beautiful. I hope to meet this young lady to
whom this voice belongs to one day. ~

The blond swordsman continued his way, looking down at the beach watching it
slowly pass beneath him occasionally seeing the creeping crest of a wave but
didn't quiet reach where he walked.

~ The voice was so...beautiful...so simply beautiful.... I would love to see
the girl one-day...any day. Even now.... ~

He remembered all the tales of the mermaids who stole men's hearts; he'd
heard before and almost smiled.

~ But no that voice had been human...if only he knew... who she was...if...~

His thoughts were interrupted all of the sudden he looked up in surprise as
he bumped into somebody.

"Hey!"

He'd bumped into a girl...no *he amended quickly* a woman with long brown
shimmering hair with blond highlights it seemed to glow in the setting sun
as if it were spun from pure sun light it's self. She wore short jean
shorts that showed her beautifully shaped legs. She had on a sea foam green
skintight tank that seemed to accented the green in her eyes as they
sparkled and flashed with something. He wasn't quiet sure what it was he
saw in their depth but...

She put her hand on her hips slim hips, turning her piercing gaze on him.

"Watch it mister! You need to watch were you are going,” she said in a clear
silvery voice that he liked.

There all of the sudden he noticed a tall dark man, the man stepped forward
to stand next to the girl. His eyes were narrow and slanted slight dark Sage
wasn't quiet sure what color they were but he didn't like the look the other
was giving him.

He looked...evil but not only that there was a sort of air about him that
was evil and a shiver ran through Sage's body. The man gave Sage an evil
glare, the man knew who
Sage was. Also knew what his presence meant or could mean to him and it
meant nothing but trouble.

~ Great he’s here. He better not touch her if he does... ~

Sage studied him for a second meeting the man's cold gaze with one of his
own. Who...who does he remind me of?

"Cool it Sara," the man said. He gave Sage a cool look. "Sorry, it's her
fault. She likes to blame her faults on others."

The woman, Sara, playfully whacked the man on the arm and gave him a half
grimace half smile.

"Eric! Whose side are you on anyway?" She cried, laughing with a brilliant
smile that could have been seen clear at the other end of the beach.

Sage shook his head and sighed inside. It had to be a couple, a damn couple
of course it would figure. He paused then brushed past them, silent and
cold, which was how most people knew him. They stared at him, wondering why
he acted so strangely.

“Hey mister?” Yelled the young woman her nice voice ringing in his ears.

“Yeah, what?” He replied coldly stopping to turn and look at her with no
emotion showing.

“What’s your name?” she asked smiling her eyes flashing with life.

“It’s Sage, why?” he said swallowing as she stepped closer.

~ What is it about her? ~ He wondered.

She ran up to him and before he could do anything she grabbed his hand and
started shaking it gently. Their hands touch they both feel a familiar
feeling it was strange and yet wonderful and confusing all at the same time.

~ I feel like I know him from some where. But from where? Better yet how? ~
Sara thought her lovely sea colored eyes meeting his ice blue eyes there was
a tinge of violet purple in their depth and a strange hint of sadness in
them.

~ This is weird I feel like I am connected to her some how. ~ Sage almost
pulled away in shock.

~ I feel like she is… the other half of my soul. ~

Sage thought finding himself staring into the deep swirling depth of her sea
colored eyes. Her eyes seemed to full of life and happiness it was
something he'd never seen in anyone else so alive he marveled as he was
looking at their clasp hands he knew then that he'd met her before.

“I’m Sara." She said her voice quiet, "Sorry about bumping into you like
that. I usually get sidetrack when I sing," she shrugged and smiled breaking
his gaze, as the man called his voice tight and angry, though she seemed not
to notice, "Well got to go! We need to catch our plane to Europe. Bye!”

She let him go of his hand and ran back to her boyfriend. Who was waiting
for her giving Sage a look that said, “You touched her! You will die!”

Sage just met his look with a blank look of his own yet inside he was
confused. Sage felt emptiness, as soon as the lovely young woman ran to the
evil looking man. He was jealous because he knew that, that man had
something he didn’t have something he couldn't see having either. Something
he'd wished for a long time. He had some one special someone to love someone
who loved him.

The bearer of Halo turned pushing his emotion back down inside as he had for
so many years now it had become almost routine. He felt he was always going
to be so cold and lonely always alone with no one else in this world no one
who need him no one that he could need and love back. Without someone like
that life had no real meaning and right now his life had no meaning it had
held no meaning since the final defeat of Talpha.

***

Unnoticed there was someone standing on cliff behind him. The Ancient One
was watching the scene that just happened very closely. He heard him
humming a familiar tune before. He also knew very well and to whom it did
belong too. He also saw the little scene between him, the young woman,
called Sara, and the evil one, called Eric.

~ He is staring to regain his memory, Good. It’s almost time for him to see
it all, but I need to make sure he doesn’t find out too much too soon.
He’ll soon find out just whom that voice belongs too, very shortly. Also
why he has that completion feeling when he clasped hands with the young
woman. ~

Then the Ancient slowly walked away and vanished. He was also humming the
tune he heard. For it belonged to someone he once called granddaughter.

***

Back at the Koji Mansion there was another situation going on with a newly
soon to be wedded couple.

Kayura was in her room brushing her hair, when suddenly some one came
sneaking into her room unnoticed by her. He was carefully watching her as
she brushed her hair. She stopped for a moment as she looked at her left
hand.

~ I can’t believe it! I am engaged! How could this have happened to me and
I’m also madly love. Who would have ever thought it was possible for me? ~

She then continued brushing her hair until she felt something moving around
her waist.

“My dear, aren’t we a little under dress here?”

“When did you get in here?”

“While you were brushing that beautiful hair of yours.”

He started to tease her a bit by trying to take her brush and tickling her
in all the right places. He was also kissing her neck like crazy.

"Kale! How do you expect me to get anything done!"

Shirked Kayura, whacking at her fiancée, the blue haired warlord of
corruption. She waved a brush in the air.
Kale grinned, sitting up.

"You ain't."

He grabbed her waist and pulled her down next to him. He nibbled at her neck
as he heard her shirks of laughter and the brush falling from her pale
slender hand. He pushed her long blue black hair back out of the way and
buried his head in her breasts, murmuring,

"Why are you so good?"

"Shimatta! Kale, let me up!"

She playfully pushed at his chest but wrapped her long arms around him and
pushed his kimono open.

"Ahem."

Kale and Kayura looked up to see Dais standing there with Sekhmet. Both
fiercely blushed and pulled back, rearranging themselves properly. Dais
raised a brow.

"Suuureee...go ahead. Make it look like that nothing happened."

Kale snapped," Shut up!"

Sekhmet snickered. "Come on Dais...we've gotta go and leave these two 'love
birds' alone..."

The two ex-warlords snickered and left. They were laughing down the hallway
as they slowly made their way to the kitchen. They were in for a surprise
in deed.

***

“Anubis…I’m never…going …to get…anything done.”

Mia said in between kisses that her husband was giving her. His hands tend
to find their way around Mia’s back and tickling her in all best spots.

“Mia…dearest…you’ll be … finished… when… I … say … we’re… finished.”

He also replied between kisses as it intensified with each passing moment.

***

Meanwhile they were doing this Sekhmet and Dais were looking through the
door with it slightly open.

Dais whispered, “I believe we should probably go out and eat. We might not
find peace in here.”

Sekhemt replied, “Good idea.”

They left so they didn’t need to hear the two couples little sound effects
of their kissing and horse playing.

***

Kale listened to make sure the two irritants were gone. Then he locked the
door and stepped carefully towards Kayura, who resumed brushing her long
hair. He quickly grabbed her waist and kissed her bare neck sending her into
squeals of laughers.

~ My goodness, she laughs a lot.... ~ Kale thought as he whirled her around.
She was awfully light too.

"Kale! You demon of darkness! Drop me!" Kayura cried out! But she
continued to laugh.

"Ok...!"

He sent her flying on the bed, where she landed semi-softly.

"Owww!" she said, sitting up and Kale was at her side immediately.

"Now, my dear, where were we before being so rudely interrupted," he
grinned, his hands found their way quickly around her waist, sneaking one
inside her kimono.

"Oh! You're hands are cold..." she murmured and let her own hands slid into
his kimono.

She felt him remove hers...as he had done many times before. But before,
she always managed to stop him from breaking her virgin self. Should
she...stop him now?

"Kale...." she murmured," what are you doing?"

"Trying to make love to you, my dear."

"KALE!" She was surprised by how easily he admitted these things. "You
aren't seriously..."

He was too busy gazing at her soft, pale breasts to hear her. He took one in
his hands and squeezed one. He heard a moan escape her lips. Then he took it
in his mouth, tasting her.

She felt his wet warm mouth on her. It felt good...to have him touch her
like this, but wrong as well.

He pulled back. She tasted good. Then, while on the other breast, his
hands massaged the one he left.

"Oh, Kale!" he heard her when he left her. He grinned.

"So you enjoy that?"

Kayura blushed all over. "Um..."

He didn't let her respond. Instead he fiercely kissed her as his hand went
down between her legs. She bucked slightly, feeling him touch her...where
she had forbidden him. She felt unsure, uncertain of this...

He pulled away to look in her eyes for a brief moment.

"No worries, my dear...none at all," he assured her. He found her wet and
aroused. "Good..."

Kayura tilted her head back, feeling his fingers inside of her. At one
point
she almost screamed when he left her from the inside.

"Kale," she whimpered slightly.

"Hmm?"

"You left me."

Kale laughed his famous laughter and smiled, stroking her hair and kissing
the hollow of her pale throat.

"Oh my, what a sin I have committed to my fiancée."

"Kale!"

"Now, now...I'm not done."

He began to lick her down her body, past her stomach. She flinched a bit
when she felt his warm, wet tongue upon her softness. She moaned in pleasure
and gasped when she felt his tongue on her clitoris.

"Oh gods...KALE!"

She clutched his head with her hands, tightening her thighs on his head.
Her fingers knotted his deep blue hair. Kale loved the taste of her
sweetness, her innocence right there before him...

"Now should I just go or take you now?" he murmured pulling her sharp nails
away from his hair.

~ Shimatta! She had a tight grip. ~

She whimpered. "Take me, please!"

~ Kayura! What are you saying?! I thought you wanted to wait till our
wedding night. Are you so sure you want this...? ~

“Are you sure you want this my dear?”

“Yes, my love. I no longer can wait.”

Kale had spread her legs apart and snuggly came between them.

"Now, precious, this will hurt..."

~ Oh gods, was he right. ~

She screamed when he came into her, breaking her virginity and tearing her
apart-or so she thought.

"You are tearing me apart! Oh gods..."

She cried, holding on to him, burying her face in his shoulder. But was
this heaven or what?

He gritted his teeth. She was in pain, but in joy as well. He had heard
the cry of ecstasy, from her throat, he knew it.

"Hold on...it'll subside, little one," he told her, lifting her buttocks to
meet him fully. She let out a fierce cry, of both pain and delight.
Kale grinned. She was his at last...

***

Anubis was in the living room lying on the couch and reading a book. When
he heard screaming from upstairs.

~ I wonder what is going on. Oh well, I’ll check up there later. I don’t
want Mia to get excited. ~

Then the front door opened. And in walked in Dais and Sekhmet.

“Where have you two been?” Anubis asked.

“We’ve been out.” Replied Dais.

“With all the stuff going on in this house I couldn’t find peace.” Sekhmet
said matter of factly.

“Oh really. So you saw Mia and me in the kitchen? Oh well. You two really
need to find someone so we can complain about you.” Anubis said with a
smirk.

He slowly got and walked to he kitchen to check on Mia.

She was on the phone talking.

***

“Yes, doctor. Yes, I’ll get rest. So how was my check up earlier this
morning?”

There was a slight pause.

“You must be kidding?!! Twins?!?”

Yet another pause.

“I can’t believe yet I really don’t mind. I can’t wait to tell Anubis that
we are going to be having twins. Yes doctor I’ll get plenty of rest. Thank
you, and good night.”

She hung up the phone and resumed her chores that she didn’t get to finish
earlier.

***

~ Twins??? ~ Anubis’s mind screamed. ~ I can’t believe it my baby is going
to have twins. I better not blow my cover and try to act surprised when she
tells me. ~

He smiled and turned away and went up stairs.

“Anubis where are you going?” Asked Dais and Sekhmet at the same time.

“Just checking on something.”

He went up the stairs. He checked every room one by one and all were empty.
He reached Kayura’s room and opened it. He was surprised at what he saw.
Then he couldn’t help but smile.

There was Kayura and Kale sleeping peacefully. Kayura was lying upon Kale’s
chest. The blanket was up to her shoulders and she was shuggling up to Kale
and was quite comfy, as it seems. He closed the door quietly and went back
down stairs.

~ It’s been a long day. ~

He saw that the Ronin Warriors had returned home and rushed to their rooms
as always. Then he saw Sekhmet and Dais retire to their rooms. Last he saw
Sage coming in.

His face was grim and cold as usual. He walked slowly up the stairs and went
to his room with out a word.

~ He really needs somebody. Then again so those everyone else in the world
who are lonely. ~

He then saw Mia slowly coming up the stairs. He ran to her and helped her
up and went to their room so they could sleep peacefully.

“Mia dear, you really shouldn’t come up the stairs with out some one helping
you.”

“I know dear but I couldn’t find you. So I thought why not go up the stairs
with out you.”

“Very funny my dear.”

He chuckled. His wife seemed to radiate.

~ She is always going to be beautiful to me no matter what she says in these
next four months. ~ Anubis thought.

“Oh Anubis.”

“Yes my love?”

“Would you mind having two children?”

“Why would I mind?”

“Very funny, now would you?”

“No, not at all.”

“Good because we are going to have twins.”

“TWINS!!” Trying to act surprised.

“Yes dear, twins. I found out earlier tonight that we are going to have
twins. Now I’m going to end up being huge and hideous.” She replied while
giggling.

“Never my dear. You will always be beautiful to me no matter what happens.”

“Good night Anubis.”

“Good night my lovely wife and my twins.”

They kissed and both went on the bed and slept.

The Koji mansion was quiet that night. All the Ronins thinking about all
plans are coming around for a certain Mr. Date’s 19th birthday tomorrow.
They just couldn’t wait.

Ryo laughed.

“I wish…but they’re almost 19 like me. God, is the only who know…Wait a

“If the preverts didn’t keep rubbing the facts than we can get and may I
quote ‘prono mags’ and get into the ‘peeps show’. Then again Sage doesn’t
really like those things. Those two better grow up one of these days.”

Ryo shook his head, his thick black hair falling in his sapphire eyes.

“Don’t worry about sanity. I think Sage has enough of it.”

“He’s gotten pretty cold and stiff lately. And still no girlfriend…you

Rowen grinned and flipped his blue hair back.

“Not much. It was Kento’s idea.”

Kento bowed. “Thank you, Thank you!” He straightened up and then said, “I

Anubis watched her contently close the dishwasher and sit down at the table.

“So have you heard anything from the others?”

“Nope. But they are doing a good job. Dropping no hints of Sage’s birthday
party and dropping plenty of hints as to say, ‘another day, so what?”

“Sounds means.”

“Trust me, for a surprise, it’ll work.”

“I hope so. The poor guy needs someone. He is so lonely if you haven’t

“I know, but maybe a woman will sweep him off him off his feet,” Mia stated.

We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

I look my self
And instead I see eyes
Whoever I am
Now it feels like enough
And I see a girl
Who is learning to trust
That’s who I see
Through your eyes

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It’s out of hands
We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking though your eyes.

And there some things
We don’t know
And some times
Our hearts just needs to grow
There is so much I’ll remember
Underneath the open sky
With you forever

Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It’s out of our hands
We can’t stop
What we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes

Looking through your eyes

Then slowly the soft lovely voice faded away. He opened his eyes wondering
where it could have come from. Slowly he turned from the ocean and started
walking again not sure where he was going the crashing of the waves beat in
the back of his mind in a steady rhythm that matched that of the song. He
didn't realize it but he was humming the song he just heard the lovely voice
sing.

~ Who ever it was, sure sounded beautiful. I hope to meet this young lady to
whom this voice belongs to one day. ~

The blond swordsman continued his way, looking down at the beach watching it
slowly pass beneath him occasionally seeing the creeping crest of a wave but
didn't quiet reach where he walked.

~ The voice was so...beautiful...so simply beautiful.... I would love to see
the girl one-day...any day. Even now.... ~

He remembered all the tales of the mermaids who stole men's hearts; he'd
heard before and almost smiled.

~ But no that voice had been human...if only he knew... who she was...if...~

His thoughts were interrupted all of the sudden he looked up in surprise as
he bumped into somebody.

"Hey!"

He'd bumped into a girl...no *he amended quickly* a woman with long brown
shimmering hair with blond highlights it seemed to glow in the setting sun
as if it were spun from pure sun light it's self. She wore short jean
shorts that showed her beautifully shaped legs. She had on a sea foam green
skintight tank that seemed to accented the green in her eyes as they
sparkled and flashed with something. He wasn't quiet sure what it was he
saw in their depth but...

She put her hand on her hips slim hips, turning her piercing gaze on him.

"Watch it mister! You need to watch were you are going,” she said in a clear
silvery voice that he liked.

There all of the sudden he noticed a tall dark man, the man stepped forward
to stand next to the girl. His eyes were narrow and slanted slight dark Sage
wasn't quiet sure what color they were but he didn't like the look the other
was giving him.

He looked...evil but not only that there was a sort of air about him that
was evil and a shiver ran through Sage's body. The man gave Sage an evil
glare, the man knew who
Sage was. Also knew what his presence meant or could mean to him and it
meant nothing but trouble.

~ Great he’s here. He better not touch her if he does... ~

Sage studied him for a second meeting the man's cold gaze with one of his
own. Who...who does he remind me of?

"Cool it Sara," the man said. He gave Sage a cool look. "Sorry, it's her
fault. She likes to blame her faults on others."

The woman, Sara, playfully whacked the man on the arm and gave him a half
grimace half smile.

"Eric! Whose side are you on anyway?" She cried, laughing with a brilliant
smile that could have been seen clear at the other end of the beach.

Sage shook his head and sighed inside. It had to be a couple, a damn couple
of course it would figure. He paused then brushed past them, silent and
cold, which was how most people knew him. They stared at him, wondering why
he acted so strangely.

“Hey mister?” Yelled the young woman her nice voice ringing in his ears.

“Yeah, what?” He replied coldly stopping to turn and look at her with no
emotion showing.

“What’s your name?” she asked smiling her eyes flashing with life.

“It’s Sage, why?” he said swallowing as she stepped closer.

~ What is it about her? ~ He wondered.

She ran up to him and before he could do anything she grabbed his hand and
started shaking it gently. Their hands touch they both feel a familiar
feeling it was strange and yet wonderful and confusing all at the same time.

~ I feel like I know him from some where. But from where? Better yet how? ~
Sara thought her lovely sea colored eyes meeting his ice blue eyes there was
a tinge of violet purple in their depth and a strange hint of sadness in
them.

~ This is weird I feel like I am connected to her some how. ~ Sage almost
pulled away in shock.

~ I feel like she is… the other half of my soul. ~

Sage thought finding himself staring into the deep swirling depth of her sea
colored eyes. Her eyes seemed to full of life and happiness it was
something he'd never seen in anyone else so alive he marveled as he was
looking at their clasp hands he knew then that he'd met her before.

“I’m Sara." She said her voice quiet, "Sorry about bumping into you like
that. I usually get sidetrack when I sing," she shrugged and smiled breaking
his gaze, as the man called his voice tight and angry, though she seemed not
to notice, "Well got to go! We need to catch our plane to Europe. Bye!”

She let him go of his hand and ran back to her boyfriend. Who was waiting
for her giving Sage a look that said, “You touched her! You will die!”

Sage just met his look with a blank look of his own yet inside he was
confused. Sage felt emptiness, as soon as the lovely young woman ran to the
evil looking man. He was jealous because he knew that, that man had
something he didn’t have something he couldn't see having either. Something
he'd wished for a long time. He had some one special someone to love someone
who loved him.

The bearer of Halo turned pushing his emotion back down inside as he had for
so many years now it had become almost routine. He felt he was always going
to be so cold and lonely always alone with no one else in this world no one
who need him no one that he could need and love back. Without someone like
that life had no real meaning and right now his life had no meaning it had
held no meaning since the final defeat of Talpha.

***

Unnoticed there was someone standing on cliff behind him. The Ancient One
was watching the scene that just happened very closely. He heard him
humming a familiar tune before. He also knew very well and to whom it did
belong too. He also saw the little scene between him, the young woman,
called Sara, and the evil one, called Eric.

~ He is staring to regain his memory, Good. It’s almost time for him to see
it all, but I need to make sure he doesn’t find out too much too soon.
He’ll soon find out just whom that voice belongs too, very shortly. Also
why he has that completion feeling when he clasped hands with the young
woman. ~

Then the Ancient slowly walked away and vanished. He was also humming the
tune he heard. For it belonged to someone he once called granddaughter.

***

Back at the Koji Mansion there was another situation going on with a newly
soon to be wedded couple.

Kayura was in her room brushing her hair, when suddenly some one came
sneaking into her room unnoticed by her. He was carefully watching her as
she brushed her hair. She stopped for a moment as she looked at her left
hand.

~ I can’t believe it! I am engaged! How could this have happened to me and
I’m also madly love. Who would have ever thought it was possible for me? ~

She then continued brushing her hair until she felt something moving around
her waist.

“My dear, aren’t we a little under dress here?”

“When did you get in here?”

“While you were brushing that beautiful hair of yours.”

He started to tease her a bit by trying to take her brush and tickling her
in all the right places. He was also kissing her neck like crazy.

"Kale! How do you expect me to get anything done!"

Shirked Kayura, whacking at her fiancée, the blue haired warlord of
corruption. She waved a brush in the air.
Kale grinned, sitting up.

"You ain't."

He grabbed her waist and pulled her down next to him. He nibbled at her neck
as he heard her shirks of laughter and the brush falling from her pale
slender hand. He pushed her long blue black hair back out of the way and
buried his head in her breasts, murmuring,

"Why are you so good?"

"Shimatta! Kale, let me up!"

She playfully pushed at his chest but wrapped her long arms around him and
pushed his kimono open.

"Ahem."

Kale and Kayura looked up to see Dais standing there with Sekhmet. Both
fiercely blushed and pulled back, rearranging themselves properly. Dais
raised a brow.

"Suuureee...go ahead. Make it look like that nothing happened."

Kale snapped," Shut up!"

Sekhmet snickered. "Come on Dais...we've gotta go and leave these two 'love
birds' alone..."

The two ex-warlords snickered and left. They were laughing down the hallway
as they slowly made their way to the kitchen. They were in for a surprise
in deed.

***

“Anubis…I’m never…going …to get…anything done.”

Mia said in between kisses that her husband was giving her. His hands tend
to find their way around Mia’s back and tickling her in all best spots.

“Mia…dearest…you’ll be … finished… when… I … say … we’re… finished.”

He also replied between kisses as it intensified with each passing moment.

***

Meanwhile they were doing this Sekhmet and Dais were looking through the
door with it slightly open.

Dais whispered, “I believe we should probably go out and eat. We might not
find peace in here.”

Sekhemt replied, “Good idea.”

They left so they didn’t need to hear the two couples little sound effects
of their kissing and horse playing.

***

Kale listened to make sure the two irritants were gone. Then he locked the
door and stepped carefully towards Kayura, who resumed brushing her long
hair. He quickly grabbed her waist and kissed her bare neck sending her into
squeals of laughers.

~ My goodness, she laughs a lot.... ~ Kale thought as he whirled her around.
She was awfully light too.

"Kale! You demon of darkness! Drop me!" Kayura cried out! But she
continued to laugh.

"Ok...!"

He sent her flying on the bed, where she landed semi-softly.

"Owww!" she said, sitting up and Kale was at her side immediately.

"Now, my dear, where were we before being so rudely interrupted," he
grinned, his hands found their way quickly around her waist, sneaking one
inside her kimono.

"Oh! You're hands are cold..." she murmured and let her own hands slid into
his kimono.

She felt him remove hers...as he had done many times before. But before,
she always managed to stop him from breaking her virgin self. Should
she...stop him now?

"Kale...." she murmured," what are you doing?"

"Trying to make love to you, my dear."

"KALE!" She was surprised by how easily he admitted these things. "You
aren't seriously..."

He was too busy gazing at her soft, pale breasts to hear her. He took one in
his hands and squeezed one. He heard a moan escape her lips. Then he took it
in his mouth, tasting her.

She felt his wet warm mouth on her. It felt good...to have him touch her
like this, but wrong as well.

He pulled back. She tasted good. Then, while on the other breast, his
hands massaged the one he left.

"Oh, Kale!" he heard her when he left her. He grinned.

"So you enjoy that?"

Kayura blushed all over. "Um..."

He didn't let her respond. Instead he fiercely kissed her as his hand went
down between her legs. She bucked slightly, feeling him touch her...where
she had forbidden him. She felt unsure, uncertain of this...

He pulled away to look in her eyes for a brief moment.

"No worries, my dear...none at all," he assured her. He found her wet and
aroused. "Good..."

Kayura tilted her head back, feeling his fingers inside of her. At one
point
she almost screamed when he left her from the inside.

"Kale," she whimpered slightly.

"Hmm?"

"You left me."

Kale laughed his famous laughter and smiled, stroking her hair and kissing
the hollow of her pale throat.

"Oh my, what a sin I have committed to my fiancée."

"Kale!"

"Now, now...I'm not done."

He began to lick her down her body, past her stomach. She flinched a bit
when she felt his warm, wet tongue upon her softness. She moaned in pleasure
and gasped when she felt his tongue on her clitoris.

"Oh gods...KALE!"

She clutched his head with her hands, tightening her thighs on his head.
Her fingers knotted his deep blue hair. Kale loved the taste of her
sweetness, her innocence right there before him...

"Now should I just go or take you now?" he murmured pulling her sharp nails
away from his hair.

~ Shimatta! She had a tight grip. ~

She whimpered. "Take me, please!"

~ Kayura! What are you saying?! I thought you wanted to wait till our
wedding night. Are you so sure you want this...? ~

“Are you sure you want this my dear?”

“Yes, my love. I no longer can wait.”

Kale had spread her legs apart and snuggly came between them.

"Now, precious, this will hurt..."

~ Oh gods, was he right. ~

She screamed when he came into her, breaking her virginity and tearing her
apart-or so she thought.

"You are tearing me apart! Oh gods..."

She cried, holding on to him, burying her face in his shoulder. But was
this heaven or what?

He gritted his teeth. She was in pain, but in joy as well. He had heard
the cry of ecstasy, from her throat, he knew it.

"Hold on...it'll subside, little one," he told her, lifting her buttocks to
meet him fully. She let out a fierce cry, of both pain and delight.
Kale grinned. She was his at last...

***

Anubis was in the living room lying on the couch and reading a book. When
he heard screaming from upstairs.

~ I wonder what is going on. Oh well, I’ll check up there later. I don’t
want Mia to get excited. ~

Then the front door opened. And in walked in Dais and Sekhmet.

“Where have you two been?” Anubis asked.

“We’ve been out.” Replied Dais.

“With all the stuff going on in this house I couldn’t find peace.” Sekhmet
said matter of factly.

“Oh really. So you saw Mia and me in the kitchen? Oh well. You two really
need to find someone so we can complain about you.” Anubis said with a
smirk.

He slowly got and walked to he kitchen to check on Mia.

She was on the phone talking.

***

“Yes, doctor. Yes, I’ll get rest. So how was my check up earlier this
morning?”

There was a slight pause.

“You must be kidding?!! Twins?!?”

Yet another pause.

“I can’t believe yet I really don’t mind. I can’t wait to tell Anubis that
we are going to be having twins. Yes doctor I’ll get plenty of rest. Thank
you, and good night.”

She hung up the phone and resumed her chores that she didn’t get to finish
earlier.

***

~ Twins??? ~ Anubis’s mind screamed. ~ I can’t believe it my baby is going
to have twins. I better not blow my cover and try to act surprised when she
tells me. ~

He smiled and turned away and went up stairs.

“Anubis where are you going?” Asked Dais and Sekhmet at the same time.

“Just checking on something.”

He went up the stairs. He checked every room one by one and all were empty.
He reached Kayura’s room and opened it. He was surprised at what he saw.
Then he couldn’t help but smile.

There was Kayura and Kale sleeping peacefully. Kayura was lying upon Kale’s
chest. The blanket was up to her shoulders and she was shuggling up to Kale
and was quite comfy, as it seems. He closed the door quietly and went back
down stairs.

~ It’s been a long day. ~

He saw that the Ronin Warriors had returned home and rushed to their rooms
as always. Then he saw Sekhmet and Dais retire to their rooms. Last he saw
Sage coming in.

His face was grim and cold as usual. He walked slowly up the stairs and went
to his room with out a word.

~ He really needs somebody. Then again so those everyone else in the world
who are lonely. ~

He then saw Mia slowly coming up the stairs. He ran to her and helped her
up and went to their room so they could sleep peacefully.

“Mia dear, you really shouldn’t come up the stairs with out some one helping
you.”

“I know dear but I couldn’t find you. So I thought why not go up the stairs
with out you.”

“Very funny my dear.”

He chuckled. His wife seemed to radiate.

~ She is always going to be beautiful to me no matter what she says in these
next four months. ~ Anubis thought.

“Oh Anubis.”

“Yes my love?”

“Would you mind having two children?”

“Why would I mind?”

“Very funny, now would you?”

“No, not at all.”

“Good because we are going to have twins.”

“TWINS!!” Trying to act surprised.

“Yes dear, twins. I found out earlier tonight that we are going to have
twins. Now I’m going to end up being huge and hideous.” She replied while
giggling.

“Never my dear. You will always be beautiful to me no matter what happens.”

“Good night Anubis.”

“Good night my lovely wife and my twins.”

They kissed and both went on the bed and slept.

The Koji mansion was quiet that night. All the Ronins thinking about all
plans are coming around for a certain Mr. Date’s 19th birthday tomorrow.
They just couldn’t wait.

To be continue in Part Two.
