"What do you mean,
He let you go!?" Ryo sat down.
Mia looked over at him. "Just
what I said, Ryo"
"Come on, Mia. Anubis is
the warlord of Cruelty, he doesn't just let people
go" Rowen also sat down.
It was a long 5 minutes before
Mia finnaly spoke. "Have I ever lied to you
all?"
This took the ronins by surprise.
"Have you not been with
me long enough to know I would not lie about
something like that, if anything" She sighed.
"Sorry Mia, it's just that
it's kinda hard to believe" Cye leaned against
the door.
'That it is, Turrent' Anubis
thought as he sat in a tree, watching threw the
open window.
"I think I'm going to go
to bed" Mia got up and walked up the steps to
her room. 'I don't think it's hard to believe, Cye' She thought
as she
layed down.
Anubis felt his head as he leaned
against a wall in the dynasty.
Maybe he was becoming sick?
No, that wasn't possible in the dynasty.
"Then what is wrong with
me?" He thought angrily. After he had defeated
the Ronin Warriors, for some odd reason he had let the girl go.
Anubis shook his head, trying
to rid himself of this feeling he had
in the pit of his stomach.
If any of the other warlords
found out about this weakness, he
would surely be ridiculed.
"Guys, what if Mia is telling
us the truth?" Sage looked over at his
friends.
Kento looked back at him with
a skeptical look. "Sure, it's every day that
the warlord of cruelty lets someone go back to their house"
"Sage is right, I think
Mia was telling us the truth" Ryo layed on his back
in the living room.
"Anything is possible"
Cye stated. "I would watch Mia for the next few days,
he might come back"
Unknown to the guys, Cye had spoke too soon.
Anubis sat in a branch, watching
Mia sleep through her window.
This mortal had some kind of
an effect over him, one he had never
experienced before.
He knew the ronin warriors would
be on their guard for awhile, that
didn't bother him though.
Mia wasn't asleep, infact she
was thinking about the events that had
happened. At first, when he had kidnapped her, She had been terrified.
Yet, when she had gotten to
be around him, she had come to not be
so afraid.
At first Mia had thought Anubis
had a dark heart, but that theory
was drifting far away.
"Well, Anubis, where have
you been?" Cale taunted, giving an evil smirk.
Anubis ignored the warlord,
partially.
"I suppose you still havn't
captured those ronin runts? That's just like you
Anubis, to always slack off until your made to go do it"
Cale chuckled.
Dais and Sekhmet gave them both
a glance, if it wasn't one thing it was the
other.
Meanwhile, Mia got up in the
middle of the night and crept down the stairs.
Being careful not to wake the
huge tiger that slept infront or Ryo's door,
she silently went out the back door.
Mia sat down in the swing that
hung quite a bit away from the house,
rethinking the things that had happened. Her grandfather had always
told her she was
mature for her age, espeacially when she was young.
A flash of loneliness went over
her as she thought about her grandfather.
For Mia it always seemed she
never put her wants ahead of anyone else's,
but they never seemed to get done. She had helped the Ronins to
learn of
their armor, carried the ancients staff when he left it, took
care of Yuli,
sheltered the 5 warriors, but had never had any time to herself.
Her days consisted of taking
care of Yuli and running for her life,
from dynasty soldiers.
Most girls her would have loved
to live in a house with 5 young men, but
they only seemed like family to her. If she was ever going to
find the right
someone they would have to be more mature than the Ronins, but
they didn't seem like
it was going to happen. Mia fell to sleep on the swing, as a shadow
crept up behind her.
