"Well, Kento, I would forgive you ... but you constantly do this, every time I leave the room you eat everything before the guys get here." Sai scolded.

"Well, its not my fault they're always late" Kento winded. Ryo walked in from the back door area.

" What's going on?" Ryo asked with interest in his voice.

"Well, Kento here ate all the dinner, AGAIN!" Sai glared at Kento. He looked back, trying to look as positively puppy like as he possibly could. Sai just ignored his lame attempts for forgiveness.

"Ohhh is that all?" Ryo asked. He looked at the table. "I'd say he did a pretty good job of it too."

"Honestly Kento I wonder where you put all that extra weight" Sai commented. He walked over to the table and started picking up dishes. "Now what can we have for dinner?"

Ryo and Kento both exchanged excited glares "AT RED LOBSTER!" They both yelled at the same time.

Sai Turned around and glared at both of them." That wasn't funny" Sai scolded. By that time Ryo and Kento were having a fun time making up stupid seafood jokes that Sai would care not to hear.

Throughout most of this Sage had been standing in the living room listening to the conversation. 'So Kento did it again.' He sighed. ' I'm getting sick of having pizza every single day. Maybe I'll go back to my room and skip dinner for once.' He turned away and began to walk back up to his room.

***

As Rowen got to the door of the room he stopped. 'I bet Kento has already ate all the dinner, really no point in going down stairs anyway, were just going to have pizza. The thought of having it AGAIN is making my stomach queasy.' He turned around. Walked back to his position on the chair.

'That's right. Nothing new ever happens around here.' He got up and looked out the window. 'Nothing, heck it would be a godsend if a new enemy were to appear.' Rowan's train of thought shifted gears a little. 'Yeah, a new enemy, perhaps stronger then Talpa, huh, he would be hard to beat.

Probably take a few months just to defeat his minions.'

Rowen looked down at his feet. 'No, Rowen, this is how its supposed to be. If a new enemy comes he would try to enslave humanity, like Talpa did. I'm being selfish, to think I was wishing about an ultimate evil to come just so I wouldn't be bored. What kind of Ronin Warrior am I if I think that way?'

He walked over to his bed, and laid so he could face the ceiling. 'But what if this new enemy where only interested in the armors, and not enslaving humanity. Then that would be just our fight, no civilians getting in the way.' He sighed.

'But that too is what Talpa wanted. I guess there never is a perfect enemy anywhere.' Rowen closed his eyes. 'Perfect enemy? Hmm would that be the perfect enemy for us or them? It would be strong, but not interested in enslaving human lives, only wanting our armors. But for what? Power of course.' He laughed a little. ' Yep you know your bored when you start answering your own questions.'

***

Sage shut the door to his room. He figured he might as well do some meditating, it always makes his nerves calm down, since at the moment he was extremely worried about Rowen.

Rowen had been spending way too much time secluded in his room recently, not getting out enough.

When Sage did actually see him there was something strange about him not his normal attitude, he seemed out of it, always deep in thought. If you asked him a question it would take a little longer for him to answer, when he did answer it was heartless no sense of feeling or emotion. When Sage tried to see any sing of emotion in his eyes, there was none. Only a blank coldness.

'Have I been the only one to notice this?' Sage thought. 'If Sai had sensed this he would have already talked with Rowen and sorted things out.

Sai usually is the one who sensed thing about any of us before the rest even noticed there was something wrong.

'It seems like this feeling inside of Rowen has been there for along time. What is causing it I wonder?' He sensed through his meditation mixed feeling about subjects that wouldn't normally bother anyone.

"Rowen what's wrong..." He whispered lowly to himself.

"C'mon Sai just let me have a piece" Kento pleaded.

"No, Kento you already ate the supper I fixed"

"Please Sai? Your killing me here"

"I don't see how" Sai commented.

"Well, eating in front of a starving person is exactly what I would call killing them, Right Ryo?" Ryo was a little surprised that his name was mentioned in thier conversation. He looked up.

"Hmm?" He asked with his mouth full of pizza. Kento glared at him. He leaned over close enough so that Sai wouldn't hear them.

"Just say yes" Kento whispered to him.

"Ohhh uhh yeah whatever Kento said" Ryo answered with little confidence, not actually know what he was answering for.

"See Sai, even Ryo believes me." Kento triumphantly said. "And besides Rowen and Sage apparently aren't coming to dinner, other wise they would have already been here. So you know what that means. LEFTOVERS!" Sai looked down

for a moment.

"Kento dear, I really don't want to be the one to tell you this, but I do believe your gaining weight. At an alarming rate as well" Sai frowned.

Ryo busted out laughing at the little remark. 'I sure bet Sai's going to get it now' Ryo thought. Kento was dumbfounded.

"WHAT!!??" He screamed. Sai took a deep breath.

"Well, soon your probably going to burst out of you jeans, then we'll have to waste all that money just to buy you new bigger pairs" Sai answered.

"WHAT!?" Kento asked again.

"What Sai is meaning to say is, your getting a little chunky there pal." Ryo answered for Sai. Sai couldn't help it anymore, he busted out laughing.

"What? Do these overalls make me look fat?" Kento asked sounding a bit confused.

"I'm sorry Kento couldn't help the humor" Sai apologized.

"Uhh Okay, so I can have some pizza now?" Kento asked.

"Sure, sure go ahead." Sai answered.

"So that means you forgive me for eating the other supper?"

"Yep" Sai reassured him. With that Kento dug into all the other pizza that was left.

***

Sage opened his eyes. 'What is going on in Rowen's person isn't good. I think I should talk to the others about it.' He stood up. 'I hope he's all right.'

"Rowen......" Sage mumbled as he headed towards the door to his room.
