Shebajay: Man has it been a long time since I've updated. Work and school have been crazy.

Jamie: Not to mention her best friend writer block paid a visit.

Shebajay: He's no fun at all.

Writer Block (a really hot guy dressed in tight black pants and shirt): What you don't like me visiting.

Shebajay (starry eyed): Of course I do, but not when it keeps my readers waiting.

Jamie: Shebajay's muse is a lot hotter.

Shebajay's Muse (Another hot guy dressed in tight white and blue clothing): That's right I'm hotter.

Shebajay (squeezing her muse pouting): Where have you been. I've missed you.

Hitoshi: Anyways I think it's time to get on with the story. Rowens do the disclaimer.

Rowen: Shebajay doesn't own the Ronin Warriors. She does however own Jamie and her OCs.

Hitoshi: Lets get going.

Chapter 10: Kimonos, Fire Reading, and A Past Memory Part 1

Last Time

“Anyways,” said Hitoshi, “I think it’s time for us to leave. Thank you Rye for taking care of Jamie for us. I would love to stay and chat some more, but I don’t want to put you in danger. Everyone is tired and could use some much needed rest.” He was looking at Jamie when he was talking.

“It’s been a long day,” said Jamie trying not to yawn. All of a sudden she felt extremely exhausted. “Hitoshi do you think you can teleport us back?” I want to go sleep for a few hours.” Everyone looked at Jamie worried.

“Jamie,” asked Rye. “Are your wounds still bugging you?” Rowen walked over to her and felt her forehead. He had noticed she looked flushed.

“Geez, what am I going to do with you Jamie,” sighed Rowen, picking her up being careful not to hurt.

“Rowen,” asked Yuriko worried.

“She’s running a fever,” said Rye answering the unasked question. “Jamie also has bruised ribs, some minor cuts, and a bump on her head. Fighting most likely irritated them further.”

“Shesh,” said Ayama. “That is so like our princess.”

“Let’s get her home,” said Ryo ignoring Ayama’s commit. “We can heal her there.”

“Right,” said Hitoshi calling on his staff. He then transported everyone except Rye.

Back at Mia’s

“How’s Jamie,” asked Mia once they arrived.

“She’s asleep,” said Rowen looking down at said girl in his arms. “Jamie passed out as we were being teleported.”

“Rowen,” said Yuriko looking at him and Jamie. “Let’s get her to bed and then I’ll heal her cuts and ribs.” Everyone looked at her weird.

“You can heal people,” asked Yuli.

“It’s probably a new power from her armor,” said Sage.

“II want to see it,” said Kento and Yuli eager to see Yuriko in action.

“That would be wonderful to see,” said Kayura interested in what she could do.

“Yuriko,” said Hitoshi. “Let’s put Jamie on the sofa. I don’t want Jamie to be moved to much until her wounds are taken care of.”

“Sounds good,” agreed Ryo.

“I’m worried since Jamie passed out,” said Cye. “I think we should heal her as soon as possible.” Everyone agreed as Rowen laid Jamie on the couch.

“Armor of Falling Leaves,” Yuriko called on her armor. Everyone still couldn’t get over the fact of the three new armors. Not to mention their powers that they haven’t seen. “Healing touch,” Yuriko held out her hands as they glowed a yellowish/greenish color. Jamie’s virtue began to glow on her forehead.

“Faith,” said Ayama realizing it, “is Jamie’s virtue. No wonder she didn’t give up on the three of us.” Madoka could only stare in wonder.

“There she should be just fine,” said Yuriko after a few minutes. Jamie virtue vanished as she began to stir. Rowen sighed when he noticed Jamie coming to.

“Wow, Yuriko,” said Yuli amazed. “Your healing powers are amazing.” Yuriko smiled softly at the compliment.

“Healing touch is only one of my armors powers,” said Yuriko. “It seems our new armors have two powers. I have an attack and a defensive ability.”

“That’s interesting,” said Hitoshi. “I look forward to seeing them in action.” Everyone agreeing.

“I don’t thing Toshiko will be too happy to see the three new armors in action,” said Sage finding it somewhat humorous.

“Um Sage,” said Cye sweat dropping. “That’s not a good thing. The crazy lady is probably looking for a new way to counter us.”

“It would be nice if we could know what to expect,” said Madoka looking at her sleeping priestess.

“We could always try to enhance it,” said Ayama. “After all the three of us were meant to help out.”

“That’s right,” said Hitoshi smiling. “There is a room that’s perfect to do fire readings.”

“We will have to wait for Jamie to wake up,” sighed Yuriko.

“What’s with the sigh,” asked Hitoshi attempting to pick on Yuriko (by the way not a very good idea).

“Hitoshi,” said Yuriko getting annoyed with him. “You know how much it drains Jamie when we help her focus on seeing events. After we do it Jamie is usually asleep for three or four das. Not to mention how painful it is.”

“We can’t ask Jamie to do that,” said Ryo frowning at the thought. “We have always faced our trouble with out knowing anything. I don’t it would make a difference if we did know.”

“Thank you for worrying about me,” said Jamie startling everyone. “But if we don’t have an idea of what’s going to happen, there is no way for us to beat Toshiko.”

“Jamie,” said Rowen looking at her intensely. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Jamie nodded looking dead serious about her decision. “Fine,” Rowen sighed giving in. “But, I am going to help you with the reading.”

“Rowen are you sure,” asked Yuriko staring him down. “You do know you will be feeling the strain as well.” Rowen nodded.

“At least it will help Jamie from being overwhelmed,” said Rowen. “Wouldn’t you say it’s wroth it?” Jamie looked at Rowen thankful. Fire reading was extremely exhausting for Jamie. She had to use everything she had to try and see what she needed if it hasn’t already appeared in a dream.

“If you are sure,” sighed Yuriko. “However, if I think the both of you are to exhausted I’ll put a stop to it. I will not have the two of you collapsing on me.”

“The two of you will take your time,” said Hitoshi smiling. “So, Yuriko doesn’t to panic.” Yuriko glared at Hitoshi who just smiled.

“Well since that’s all settled,” said Kayura. “I suggest we get something to eat and then get some rest.” Mia agreed.

The Next Day in the Fire Reading Room

“Jamie and Rowen,” said Ayama. “Are you two already to go?” Jamie was back in her priestess kimono. While Rowen had on a similar kimono on that had blue and yellow.

“Wow Rowen,” said Kayura stunned to see Rowen in a Priest kimono. “I never knew you had owned one.”

“Yes well,” said Rowen blushing. “Everyone at the Leafe Temple had been required to wear one.”

“I see,” said Kayura, “no wonder Ayama, Madoka, and Yuriko also wear them.” The Three girls colors where red, green, and blue mixed with white and black.

“Yup,” said Ayama, hers was mostly red.

“Usually these kimonos would be white and red,” said Madoka, hers was mostly blue. “But Jamie’s guardians kimonos were made differently to tell who they were.”

“Jamie’s and Rowen’s were made with the intention of one of them being the Leafe priestess or priest,” said Yuriko, her kimono contained mostly green.

“And what about Hitoshi’s,” asked Kayura looking him from head to toe.

“Mine,” questioned Hitoshi. His was yellow, blue, and black. “I really don’t know. Maybe it was because master expected me to take over his powers.” He looked relieved when she didn’t press him for more. He couldn’t tell them the reason was because of his power to control some elements before he even received his master’s power.

“Okay enough about our kimonos,” said Jamie irritated at the moment.

“Jamie,” everyone was startled by her out burst.

“Sorry,” said Jamie in a whisper. She was looking down at the floor finding it the most interesting thin in the world at the moment.

“Are you worried about doing the reading,” asked Ayama studying her friend. Jamie nodded slowly. Everyone looked at Jamie really worried.

“I don’t like doing a forceful reading,” said Jamie softly that it was surprising anyone could hear her.

“Jamie do you not want to do it,” asked Yuriko in a soothing voice. Jamie shook her head.

“No I’ll do it,” said Jamie smiling weakly. Rowen put a hand on Jamie’s head for comfort.

“It will be alright,” said Rowen smiling. Jamie pouted when he started to move her head from side to side.

“Rowen” said Hitoshi in a stern voce. “Can we get started now?” Rowen and Jamie both flinched out of habit. They could tell when Hitoshi was getting angry with them by the tone of his voice.

“Boy is Hitoshi scary when he’s in father mood,” said Ayama hiding behind Madoka. Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Jamie and Rowen are the only two who can cause him to act like this,” said Yuriko smiling fondly at the seen. Hitoshi was lecturing Rowen on being nice to Jamie and vice versa.

“So if Hitoshi is a father figure, then Yuriko would be a mother figure,” asked Yuli innocently, “right?” This made Ayama and Madoka bust out laughing.

“Enough you two,” said Yuriko hitting the two girls up side the head.

“Well now that everyone has that out of their systems,” said Jamie turning serious all of a sudden. “Shall we begin.” Jamie turned to everyone else.

“We will se everyone once we are done,” said Rowen smiling. “Depending on how exhausted Jamie is we will let you know what we’ve seen right away.” Everyone nodded. Those who weren’t involved with the process of reading left the room. Jamie let out a loud sigh.

“Everyone ready,” Jamie asked as she tied her hair back (don’t want to catch her hair on fire now do we). Everyone who had long hair did the same. Jamie walked over to the fire and sat down. Rowen fallowed Jamie and sat next to her taking one of her hands and joining them together. They each held up their other hand with their index and middle fingers and said a quick chant. The other four sat around the two of them releasing their energy. For hours on end they stayed that way.

Shebajay: There you have it. I hope you liked it. It's not one of my favorites. The next chapter should be better once it get it up which should be in a week or two. It depends on my left wrist. I hope I don't have to go see my doctor.

Jamie: Let's hope you are fine and don't take another two to three months before you update.

Shebajay's muse: Don't worry I won't let that happen.

Writer Block: So you say.

Hitoshi: See you again. Please leave reviews. Shebajay could really use the support right now.

Shebajay: Thanks to all my readers and special thanks to MP for all your commits. Still looking for a name for the new armor of Jamie's I hopefully it'll come to me soon. Any suggestions will help. I've decided the new powers will have to do with the different elements. Until next time.
