May 12th

Mia is awakened by the alarm clock. She finds herself muttering to the inanimate anarchist. " Oh shut up please!" As she reaches over to turn it off she rolls over on to her back, looking up at the ceiling once more. Boy today is the twelfth. Ten more days to my birthday. I wonder what the guys are planning. She thinks to herself. A smile comes to her face. " Sage will probably give me something special."She giggles with glee.

She slowly gets up and walks toward the door. Grabbing Sage's clothes as she goes, she puts the on the chair. That boy is a slob in private She thinks to herself, rolling her eyes. Upon finishing, she hears them downstairs. Smiling, she hurries to put her tank top on so she can eat breakfast.

Downstairs

"Cye my man. I'm hungry." Kento whines while cye finishes the eggs. The water warrior ignores his hard headed friend, grabs the beacon and heads towards the table.

" Kento your such a baby, you know that, right? You act like the food's going to walk away or something." Cye admonishes as he sits down starts to serve everyone.

Rowen looks around. " Do you know where Sage is?" The blue haired ronin asks. While sitting in his appointed chair.

" I think he's still out meditating." Ryo answers, shugging his shoulders and reaching for the salt.

As they continue to dish up the food the blonde hair man walks in as on cue. " Oh just in time! Good." Sage simles. He sits down. Grabbibg a plate with eggs is about to serve himself when a squeal is heard. They all turn there heads to see Mia slips as she enters the kitchen.

" Opps, that's Slippery. I gotta watch it when I come in here." Once she regains her balance, she turns to look at the guys and finds them starring at her. " What's wrong?" she follows their glaze and smiles. " Oh come now. Gee, I'm wearing Powerpuff boxer shorts. Get a life." She smirks, sitting next to Sage. He looks at her and smiles.

" That's why I love you. But Buttercup boxers? I thought you would have Bubbles or Blossom. Buttercup Mia." He teases gently.

Mia blushes " Well I happen to like her. She kicks butt, like Kento."

Kento's head snap up. " Who said my name?"

" Never mind bottomless pit." Ryo calls playfully while he continues to eat. Slowly their collative attention returns to their food. Mia looks at each and every one of the Ronin Warriors. She thinks about the last four years that they spend together. She loves each and every one of them. When sage looks up at her, he notices she is crying.

" Mia what's wrong?" He asks softly, rasing his hand to gently wipe away a tear.

" It's nothing, I was think about all of us and that we're here together. I just miss my grandfather and my family. I just don't know what I would do if I lost all of you."

Sage pulls her close to his chest and gently stokes her hair.

Ryo smiles. "Mia don't worry, We will always be here for you. You are like a sister to us and you've given us a home and helped us out. I just wished that I-" as Mia cuts him off.

" Ryo it's ok. Please don't blame yourself. You helped him that's all that matters ok. Please let's be thankful that were here together. " smiling her brightest smile. "You guys have given me a reason to be happy again. Don't ever forget that." She leans over to hug Ryo, then gets up and goes to Cye to do the same, then to Rowan then Kento. Lastly, she hugs her lover Sage. She always feels safe in his arms.

" Mia girl, you don't have to worry. We're here for ya and I don't think you could get rid of us if you wanted too." Rowan smiles his brightest smile. She looks at them each in turn once more and smiles as well.

" Thanks Rowan, and guys. I love you all." As they finish eating. Mia tells them is going to do some spring cleaning and they are going to help. They all groan at this, but she smiles.

Somewhere in a castle on Gaia:

A woman with eyes of blue green eyes and long deep mahogany colored hair Wearing a white style roman dress standing with four other women dress the same. As they watch the Koji girl and the five guys.

" It' time for her to know about her past, and the future she will create. Annree go and please inform Priestess Varie to invoke the dream spell."

" Yes my lady. It will be done." The woman with red hair bows and turns swiftly to leave. The sound of swishing pale yellow fabric can be heard.

The other woman turns back to the crystal and looks deep into it. Oh my precious daughter. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you. You've grown beautiful. Your sister is all right and she to has grown beautiful as well. She too has found love. sighing she turns to the other that stand beside her.

"It is also time to get the others ready. She will need to find them quickly understand." The other three bow slightly. They reply as one with " Yes My lady." As they leave, their lady turns back to the to watch Mia.

" Soon you will be here. Your home awaits you." She reaches to touch the crystal.

In Faneila on Gaia

Van Fanel , the king of Faneila, looks out from his balcony toward the city. He remember the day al the towns' people came back to rebuild. It put joy in his heart. Three long years they worked. He thinks, a sign escaping his lips. He is lost so completely in his thoughts and watching the city he loves, he does not here what is coming up behind him. It is a woman with honey colored hair and eyes of emerald. She tips-toes to him.

" Hello my beautiful Queen." Van says as he turns to her.

" Awe Van, how did you hear me?"

" Very Carefully my love." He reaches for and pulls her close. " I love you Hitomi." He murmers,as he slowly bends down to take possession of her lips. He moans in delight. They taste so good. I don't ever want to stop. He thinks to himself. However, stop he must, so he reluctantly pulls away. " Do you know it is our six month anniversary, my love."

" Yes Van I know it is."

" So are you ready for the ball this evening?"

"Yes I'm ready. But I wish we didn't have to be there. I was looking forward to a quite evening with you instead."

Van chuckles at this. "I know, but the Advisers who been elected just recently wanted to do this. At least we should show up."

"The next time they want to put something on like this tell them NO!" They both laugh.

"But seriously, Hitomi. They're just happy to see us happy, if that sounds right." Van scratches his head, perplexed, and Hitomi laughs.

"Yeah, that's right. I'm glad I came back to you and Gaia. I just felt alone without you. Your feather helped me to return to you. I'm so happy, Van I love you so much." She hugs him tighter

" Well I'm glad you did too. I can't imagine my life with out you. I don't want to think about that. You're here with me now. That's all that matters. Besides, I could never love anybody the way I love you." He hugs her back a little tighter.

"Well, we better get cleaned up for breakfast, huh?" at her words, he reluctantly releases her.

"Yeah, I'm starving! Let's go."

" Van Fanel, are you forgetting something? Like my gooooood moring kiss."

"Oh Hitomi, another one? But I'm hungry!" But he comes back all the same to swoop her into his strong arms. "Your wish is my command, my queen." He kisses her with such passion that Hitomi loose all feeling in her knees. Pulling back he whispers " How was that Hitomi?" The question is asked tenderly, with only the slightest hint of pride in the answer.

"You amaze Van, Over and over again."

"I know." He smirked with mock arrogance. "But tonight I'll show you how much I really love you. Okay, love?" They then walk back into the royal bedchamber to dress and go to breakfast.
