Touma Hashiba, of Tenku fame and Dakota Matthews of ill repute walked into the empty movie theater wielding fake lightsabers and a twenty four pack of mountain dew. At this point in time, Tavestry ran for the hills and prayed for the souls of anyone else unprotected from the wrath of the sarcastic pair.
Touma: Ohaiyo! *waves*
Dakota: Ohio? *Blink* Dude...we’re in JAPAN! *Chug chug* Okay Touma-Kun, lets get our first official MSTing underway!
Touma: *sweatdrops* Anou...technically it was Konbanwa....er...Roll the Fan fic!
Dakota: How does one go about rolling a fan fic Touma? *Sweet look*
Touma: *grumbles* One of us is making out of this alive and it sure as hell ain’t gonna be you Dako.
Dakota: *growls* Keep it up Blue Boy and we’ll both be residents in the next Yuu Yuu Hakushou movie. *glares*

Touma: When HTML goes bad! *chuckles*
Dakota: What’s up with the dispostion thing? Does the fan fic have a bad attidue or something?

The Lost Armor

Dakota: Forget the armor...I’m looking for the socks.
Touma: We haven’t even gotten into the damn fic yet. Shut up!

Chapter 1
 

The sun sat slowly behind the far mountains as = five figures laid on the grass off of the lake that stood like a mirror = against the land.
"I can't believe it's been almost year." Kento = exclaimed as he played with a blade of grass.
"It's been a long one too." Cye agreed.
"Hey guys, want something to drink?" A girl = around the same age asked walking out of the cabin with drinks in hand and Mia behind her.
"Sure, Katie, what do you have?" Kento asked

Touma: Sake, Kirin, Sapporo and Abosult.
Dakota: Touma....are we going to have to put an no one under twenty one warning on this MST?

"Just some hot cocoa." Mia replied.
"That sounds good. "Rowen said taking a = cup.
"Yea, it's getting cold out here." Sage agreed.
"What were you guys talking about?" Katie asked sitting down next to them.
"Oh, we were talking about how we couldn't = believe it had been almost year already." Ryo answered.
"Hey, guys, what are you doing?" A small figure asked as he rode a large white tiger out of the woods.

Dakota: NOOOOOOOO! NOT YULIE! *Throws popcorn at the fan fic.*
Touma: Chill. He’s just a kid...*Frowns* That was REAL annoying.

"Yuli, you should have a coat on." Mia scolded.
"I did, but I lost it on the way down." Yuli = explained.
"Your lucky you left one down here the other = day." Mia said leading Yuli toward the cabin.
"Hey, Katie, what were you doing a year ago?" = Kento asked.
"Hmm.. you know, exactly one year ago today, my life changed." Katie answered.
"What do you mean?" Rowen asked.

Touma: *talking for Katie* I became a woman.
Dakota: TOUMA! *Throws Popcorn at the boy next to her* Shu will KILL YOU!
Touma: ACK!
"It was one year ago that I was given the chance to come to Japan as an exchange student....
 
 

Ding, Ding, Ding.....
"Third floor women's lingerie" a voice echoed = throughout the floor as students filed into their classes.

Dakota: They go to school in a department store?

"Hajimemasu (Time to start the class)" Kawakubo Sensei announced as she sat down at her desk.
"Tattekudasai (Please stand)" one of the Japanese students recited.
"Minna-san Ohayoogozaimasu (Good morning = everyone)" Kawakubo Sensei greeted.
"Sensei, Ohayoogozaimasu (Good morning Teacher)" The class replied.
"ni gatsu ni jiu... (2 month 2-0...)"
"mooichidoo (Please say that again)" Kawakubo = stated looking up from her schedule. The student looked to the sky and then = walked over to his desk and flipped through a binder,
"ni gatsu hatsuka mokuyoobi desu. (2nd = month 20th day, Thursday)" the first student corrected himself, "shukudaio = dashitekudasai. (I will collect the homework now)" After collecting the homework the = student spoke up again, "shussekio torimasu. (I will now take attendance)" the student then took the attendance, and then sat down.

Touma: *hands the fan fic his homework*

"All right. As you should know we have a = quiz today..." the teacher said as the class groaned. "But, first I have an announcement. I've been given the message that I can send one of my = students to Japan as an exchange student for three months. I figured I'd = give the fourth year first choice." The teacher finished, "Any body?"

Dakota: ME! ME! PICK ME!
Touma: You already live in Japan.

"If this happened last year I would definitely = want to go, but it's my senior year. I don't want to miss anything." a girl replied. Everybody, but one person in the class agreed.
"I'll go." the last person spoke up.
"You would really want to go, Katie?" the girl = asked.
"Sure, I might actually get a life while I'm = there." Katie replied.
"What do you mean?" a boy asked.
"Let's see, I get up go to school, go to work, = and go home. That's not much of a life." Katie answered.
"Why don't you go out and do something?" another girl asked.
"I don't know? I just don't" Katie replied.

Touma and Dakota: WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU????
Dakota: Er...that didn’t sound too nice TOuma...
Touma: *hides from the evil shadow of a beefy looking Kongo wielding guy* No kidding....

"Well, If you really want to go. you need to ask you parents before I tell them your going. All right?" The teacher said.
"All right." Katie replied.
That night at home Katie approached her mother with the news.
"Well, I don't know. Three months is an = awfully long time." Her mother said hesitantly.
"Come on Mom, it's an opportunity of a life = time." Katie pleaded.
"I thought you were going with Sensei this = summer?"
"I just won't go, she said it wasn't' too late to get a refund for what I've already paid."
"Well..... I better not get a call from Japan = asking me to come get you."
"YES!! Thank you mom!"

Touma: That’s it? MAN! I want to live in America!
Dakota: *rolls her eyes*

... Attention..... Flight JAL number 09 = has just arrived at gate 7...... Attention
Katie walked off the the plane her legs stiff from sitting for thirteen hours. She looked around unsure of where to go. The crowd from the plan all seemed to head in one direction so she decided to follow them. After going through the initial = customs she came to two different lines that were labeled, in Japanese. = This was when she wished she had paid more attention during class. She looked at the people in the lines and picked the one with no Japanese = people in it.
Mia Koji stood in the airport terminal watching = the clock on the wall, and the doors that separated customs from the rest of the airport.

Dakota: Cause you know...she has eyes in the back of her head...
Touma: *nods* Very clever our Mia....

It had been a good ten minuets since the announcement of the flight had been broadcast over the intercom and Mia was wondering what was taking so long. Finally the doors opened and a herd of = people walked, stiffly mind you, out. Mia peeked up over the crowd of = people also waiting for passengers trying to find hers. After a few = minuets the herd started to thin out and it was then that Mia saw her.

Dakota: THERE SHE IS! MISS AMERICA!
Touma: *winces* Ouch. Stop that. You’re almost as bad as I am.
Dakota: I didn’t think that was possible.

Out of the door came a fairly tall girl with dark brown hair that was pulled up into a pony tail. She carried a large, medium, and small = suitcase that were strapped together, a backpack, and another bag on her = shoulder. Mia walked over to her and bowed politely.
"Connichiwa, Atashi, Koji Mia." Mia spoke slowly.
"Ah! Ano... Watashi wa Katie Suttles." = Katie said a bit unsure even though she had said the same thing too many times to count in class.
"If you wish we may speak in English." Mia = suggested noting her discomfort.
"That would be nice. For now that is." = Katie replied tension leaving her features on her face.
"So, are you ready to go?" Mia asked as she took the three bags from her.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Katie replied taking a deep breath.

Touma: Good. You push the car.

The ride to the mansion was fairly long, but not boring. They talked about many things, and generally got ot know each other better. When they passed a lake with a mansion in the background, Katie mentioned how beautiful it was, but when Mia pulled up to that house, Katie's mouth dropped.

Dakota: That must be painful.

"Welcome home." Mia said taking her things out of the jeep.
"I thought houses in Japan were small?" Katie = asked looking up at the house and around at its surroundings.
"Well, this house has been passed down in my = family for generations." Mia explained heading into the house and up the = stairs, "Wait till you see your room." Mia grinned and opened the door to her = room. Katie walked into the room still a bit shocked,
"I love it."
"Wait till you see the view." Mia said pulling = open the curtains and opening the door to the balcony. Katie walked out onto the balcony stunned beyond words.

Touma: *stands up and says as Mia* And that’s when I pushed her officer.
Dakota: *throws more popcorn at Touma* SIT DOWN!

"Great, isn't it?" Mia asked joining her out on the = balcony.
"Why didn't you take this room?" Katie asked.

Dakota: It’s haunted. They never tell you that.

"My room has almost the same view." Mia replied, "Oh, by the way. I mentioned that we have a cat."

Touma: Byakuen is not a Cat! He’s a Horse with whiskers!!
 
"Oh, yea, I love cats we have two at home." Katie exclaimed.
"Well, this cat isn't exactly a house cat." Mia practically whispered wringing her hands.
"Oh, it's an outdoor cat?" Katie asked getting a bit suspicious.
"Yea, kind of. Though he does sleep in the house a lot." Mia replied still wringing her hands.
"Mia??" Katie not sure what to think of her host anymore.
"Well, you see..." Mia started, but before she = could go any farther a loud noise was heard and a huge white tiger leaped up onto the balcony and into the room. Katie backed away toward one of the walls, her mouth was saying something but her voice seemed to of ran = away.

Dakota: AFTER THAT VOICE!
Touma: IT’S GETTING AWAY!

"That's what I was trying to tell you. Katie, meet = White Blaze. White Blaze, this is Katie." Mia sighed walking over to the tiger. Katie looked from Mia to the beast that stood before her.
"Your not serious are you??" She asked in a soft whisper.
"Yea, it is kind of hard to believe. He's not mine actually. He belongs to one of the guys that also lives here." Mia explained.

Dakota: They are not guys, they are boys.
Touma: HEY!

"Guys?" Katie asked surprised that she hasn't = mentioned them before.
"Five boys, your age I believe." Mia explained = nodding.
"Five?! All my age????"

Touma: What luck ne?

"They all live a ways away from the city and are staying here while they go to school. You'll be going with them."
"What do they look like?" Katie asked her = interest peaked.

Dakota: Shin, Shu, Seiji, Touma and Ryo.

"Well... " Mia started when a horn honked outside and White Blaze took off. " You can find out for yourself. That = must be them now." Mia said leading her out of the room. When they arrived at the door White Blaze was standing over a young boy licking his face.
"Hey, White Blaze get off of me." The boy said = trying to push the tiger off. Finally the tiger was pulled from the guy by Mia and Katie.
"Ryo, I'd like you to meet Katie. Katie this is Ryo." Mia introduced while trying to restrain the tiger with little success. Ryo wiped tiger drool on his pants and held it out his hand,

Dakota: EWWWWWWWWWW!
Touma: YUCK! TIGER DROOL! RYO!
Dakota: Have you no manners? Oh..wait...
Touma: This is RYO...

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Katie shook his = hand.

Dakota: And again I say...EWWWWWWWW!

"Hey, Ryo, could you move. These books aren't = light you know." a voice came from behind him. Ryo moved out of the way and = allowed four more boys in, each carrying five to six very thick books. They = carefully carried them into the living room and set them down. One boy ran into = the kitchen, while the other three went back to the van for their books.
"Why were they carrying all these books?" Katie asked picking up one to look at.
"These are Rowen's. All he thinks about is = studying. I think he's doing an extra credit term paper for one of his classes. = Though I don't know why, he already has perfect grades." Ryo explained.

Touma: But they can always be BETTER!
Dakota: *wacks Touma with the lightsaber, having progressed past the popcorn stage of annoyance*

"I know someone like that too. Most people I know don't like her either." Katie replied setting the book down just as the other three came back in.
"Is this Katie?" The blond headed one asked flipping = his hair from his face. Katie blushed and big sweat drops appeared on = everybody's head.

Dakota: ENTER SAGE AND FRED!
Touma: *stands up and applauds*

"Katie I want you to meet Rowen, Sage, and Cye." Mia said pointing at each one, "The one in the kitchen is Kento."
"Yea, our resident garbage disposal." Sage joked.
"I heard that!" Kento yelled as he came out of = the kitchen carrying a sandwich, "Hey, Cye, you gonna cook tonight?"
"It's Rowen's turn." Cye stated.
"It's pizza then." Ryo replied sourly.
"I can't help it if I can't cool!" Rowen replied back.

Touma: That makes two of us.
Dakota: *has turned pale at the thought of either of the Tenku Twins cooking*

"Cye, we want Katie's first night here to be = memorable, and I don't mean at the hospital." Kento complained shoving the rest of the sandwich down. Katie looked at Mia with a nervous glance.
"Don't worry. It's not as bad as they make it seem." Mia said grinning.

Dakota: NO! It’s WORSE!

"All right, I'll cook. But only because it's = Katie's first night." Cye agreed.

Touma: And we can’t all die of food poisoning!
Dakota: Who’d be in the fan fic?

"Yes! When's supper?" Kento asked.
"Your still hungry?" Katie asked blinking in = surprise.
"Like we said, he's the garbage disposal. Only = stops eating long enough to sleep." Rowen said. Cye made his way into = the kitchen to start supper. It was only an hour later that he = announced it was ready. Everybody sat down at the table and dug in.

Dakota: Into what?

= They were very surprised to see how well Katie ate with the chopsticks, she explained that she liked eating with them and ate anything she could = with them. That got them into a contest to see who could pick up the = most things. As predicted Sage won, but Katie came in second to = everyone's surprise, it was then that she mentioned she learned how to use them = four years ago. They continued with their meal and with asking Katie = many questions.
"So, if we just started speaking in Japanese, you wouldn't have a clue what we were saying?" Kento asked.
"Probably not." Katie answered.

Dakota: That makes two of us.
Touma: not to mention the people reading the fan fic.

 Kento started = rubbing his hands together and getting a look on his face that said he was up to something.
"Your not going to play any tricks on her, = Kento." Mia scolded. Kento's face fell as he stuffed his mouth with more food. Suddenly White Blaze tore out of the room and jumped out of a window.

Touma: Hope he had a parachute with him...

"What's with him?" Katie asked looking after the tiger. Everybody shrugged their shoulders and went out to see what was going on. Outside stood an army of armored soldiers. Mia yanked Katie = into the house.

Dakota: Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

"WHAT'S GOING ON??!!!?" Katie asked freaking out.
"There's something I haven't told you." Mia = stated.

Dakota: *in a Darth Vader voice* I am your father!
Touma: *in a Luke Skywalker voice* NOOOOOOO!
 
"Really? And here I thought they were just a = bunch of friendly ghosts." Katie snapped her voice edged with sarcasm.
"I can only imagine how you feel..." Mia started and told her all about the Ronin Warriors. Outside the guys had already armored up and were fighting the soldiers.

Touma: WHAT? NO WALL PAPER! I’VE BEEN GIPPED!
Dakota: *smirks* Our transformation is cooler.
Touma: *scowls* I’m the original.

"Why are they here. We defeated Talpa a long time ago." Cye said as he cut down a soldier with his yari.

Dakota: What is it? A giant pair of scissors?
*The dark Shadow of a Kongo wielding man looms over the screen*
Touma: Uhmm..eep?

"We're here for the armor." a soldier spoke up = his eyes glowing blood red.
"Your never going to get the inferno." Ryo yelled as they pulled back to regroup.
"That is old news. We want the lost armor." the soldier replied.
"The lost armor?

Touma: Who lost it? *Looks at Dakota*
Dakota: Why are you looking at ME?

What are you talking about?" = Kento yelled waving his fist in the air.

Dakota: The LOST ARMOR! *Waving her fist in the air too*
Touma: make a note of that... ‘What are you talking about?” equals Kento yelled waving his fist in the air....Sounds like a math problem...
 

"You are only foolish boys, you left the wearer alone unprotected." The soldier spoke and used his spear to point toward the house. Two screams emerged along with crashes and bangs.

Dakota: What do screams look like Touma?
Touma: I don’t know. What do crashes and bangs look like?

"Mia, Katie" Cye exclaimed as he ran for the = house, Ryo following. Inside two soldiers had a hold of Mia and Katie. = Cye and Ryo took quick care of the two.
"Katie, are you all right?" Cye asked helping her up from the floor where she fell.
"Yea, I'm all right." Katie replied a bit shaken.

Touma: But not stirred.

 They walked outside to make sure everyone was okay.
"Is everybody OK?" Sage asked converting back to his sub armor.
"Yea, and you?" Ryo asked.
"Just after you left the soldiers disappeared." Rowen informed them.
"Do you know what they wanted?" Mia asked.
"They said something about a Lost Armor." Sage = said.

Dakota: I DID NOT LOSE THE ARMOR!
Touma: *whistles*
 
"Do you think you might be able to find something in your grandfathers records?" Rowen asked.
"I'll try." Mia replied as she headed up to her den, "Why don't you guys call it a night. It's been a long day for all of you."
"Mia's right. We all need some sleep" Cye agreed looking over at Katie's pale face, "Are you okay?"

Dakota: No, my name’s Katie. GET IT STRAIGHT!
Touma: Ohmm...Ohmm..*goes into meditation*

"Uhh.. yea.. I'm fine. Just a bit shaken up." = Katie replied, "I'll be fine after some sleep." They all took their = armors off and headed up the stairs. Ryo started to head for his normal bedroom witch was now hers. "Um, Ryo. That's my room." Katie said = walking up to him.
"Oh, yea, that's right. Sorry." Ryo said as he = walked off in another direction. Katie looked after him with a puzzled look on her face.
"That was his and Sage's room. Mia made them = change rooms so you could have that one." Cye explained from the door to his, Rowen, and Kento's room. Katie just smiled and walked into the room and closed the door.

Touma: That’s the way we all became the brady bunch!

The moon was high in the sky and no cloud in sight. The light of the moon gave a ghastly glow to everything beyond the mansion. Katie was on the balcony thinking about what had just happened to = her. She noticed the lights on in the den just down the walk, so she headed down.

Dakota: To find the body of her friend slain and a message written in her blood on the wall.
Touma: That’s gross. *cringes*

"What are you still doing up?" Katie asked = walking through the door.
"Oh, Katie, I thought you would be asleep." Mia exclaimed jumping a bit.
"It's called jet lag. It sucks." Katie said = walking over to where she could see the screen to the computer, "What are you = doing?"
"I'm looking through my grandfathers disks. He = had a lot of info about the Ronins and we thought that it might have = something about this lost armor." Mia replied.
"Find anything?" Katie asked.

Touma: If they did that, it wouldn’t be lost now would it?
Dakota: And that would completely defeat the whole point of the FIC!

"Nope. There's the Wildfire, Torrent, Hardrock, Strata, Halo, and Inferno, but no lost armor." Mia replied.
"Maybe it's in another legend." Katie suggested.

Dakota: OR BECAUSE IT’S LOST!!!!!
Deep Shadowy Voice: Gan....
Touma: EEEP!

"That's a possibility, but that whole cabinet = over there is full of disks with info on legends. It would take forever to = look through them all." Mia said rubbing her sore eyes.
"Why don't you get some rest. In the morning, = I'll help you look." Katie said pulling Mia from the computer.
"Maybe your right." Mia said allowing her to = leave the computer and follow Katie out of the room.
"I'll see you in the morning." Mia said as she = headed into her room.
"Night" Katie replied as she headed into her own room.
The next day was just as bright and happy as the day before had been, but with one small difference.

Touma: Everyone had died the night before! WHAHAHAHA!

The people out enjoying the serenity of the day were not concerned about it at = all. They had other, darker things on their minds. Things that would = not leave. Katie upon her word to Mia the night before was helping up in the den.
"How about this one?" Katie asked holding a set of disks.
"No, that's his grade book for the past five = years." Mia explained laughing.
"Oh, I guess it would help if I could read it." Katie said a little embarrassed. They laughed the incident off and continued on their way. Kento yelled up to them to come = down. They walked out of the house to find four people standing just beyond = the woods.

Dakota: IT’S THE BEATLES!

"Kayura, Dais, Sechmet, Kale. What are you doing here?" Mia asked.
"Who are they?" Katie whispered in Mia's ear.
"Katie, these are the warlords." Mia replied.

Touma: John, Paul, George and Ringo!

"Do you know what's going on?" Ryo asked their = former enemy's.
"She's the one." Kayura spoke out.
"What are you talking about?" Sage asked.
"The soldiers you encountered last night said = they were looking for the lost armor," Kayura stated.
"Yea, that's right." Rowen replied a bit sourly.
"We know what the lost armor is." Kayura = explained walking closer to the surprised Ronins, "When the ancient first = created the nine armors a piece of each of the five Ronin armors separated its self from the armor." Kayura started
"They then joined to form another armor." Sechmet added.
"The armor picked a wearer its self and that = wearer created a virtue for it." Dais continued.
"We believe that the armor has been passed down from that mortal to it's descendants without any of them knowing about it." Kale finished.
"Talpa found out about it when the nine armors = were first combined, he did not live long enough to find it." Kayura stated.
"Do you know where it is now?" Cye asked.

Dakota: How many times do we have to tell you that the damn thing is LOST!
Touma: Like SOCKS!

"When we first arrived no, but now we do. That = girl is the wearer." Kayura answered pointing at Katie.
"What!?" Katie gasped, "Me?!"
"Yes, you are the wearer of the lost armor." = Kayura repeated.

Touma: But if you’ve found it....
Dakota: How can it be LOST???

"Actually that makes sense. Last night the = soldier said we had left the wearer unprotected. Then we heard Katie and Mia = scream. They know Katie has the armor." Rowen stated.
"Are you sure, Lady Kayura?" Mia asked.

Touma: I do not want to know what deoderant Kayura uses.

"We'll let the staff prove it." Kayura said = walking up to Katie. Kayura held the staff above her head. Katie covered her = face not knowing what to expect as the staff began to glow. Kayura focused = all the light directly on Katie. A brown mark appeared on her forehead. The mark then cleared up to reveal the virtue that connects her to the = armor, the virtue of Honor. Katie was then engulfed by the earth leaving only a mound where she was standing. The mound exploded and when the dust = settled a warrior clad in armor stood in its place.

Dakota: What happened to Katie??
Touma: The Earth got her!

The armor was similar to the Ronins, and was made just for her. It was an earthy brown, with twin = katanas like Ryo's except they were place over each shoulder, and on the helmet was the symbol of the armor, a gold circle with each of the five armor colors in it. The armor stayed for a minuet then disappeared, letting = Katie fall to the ground. Mia was the first to her side followed by the = others.
"Is she going to be all right?" Cye asked.
"She'll be fine. Torrent, take her somewhere to rest. Mia stay with her." Kale commanded Cye took Katie to the living room and returned outside.
"Kayura do you know who are new enemy is?" Ryo = asked.
"His name is Red Wing." Kayura answered.

Touma: Red 3 I’m going in!
Dakota: Cover me Biggs!

"He is more powerful then Talpa ever was." = Sechmet added.
"He was banished from the nether realm just as = Talpa took control. At first he was with Talpa, but then proved to be a = traitor." Dais explained.
"Talpa then banned him from the realm. He has = stayed away until a few weeks ago when he somehow forced his way in." Kale = finished.

Dakota: He knows Bob Villa!

"We were not in the nether realm at the time and when we tried to return we found that we were unable too." Kayura said, "We found out that he was searching for the lost armor when we sensed = the soldiers in other countries."
"So, what do we do now?" Kento asked.

Touma: Fight Idiot.

"You have to teach her how to use the armor. If Red Wing gets a hold of it he will be able to control your armors as = well. The lost armor, also known as the armor of the Earth is very powerful. You must guard it and protect it's wearer." Kayura's voice echoed as she and the warlords disappeared.

Dakota: Insert wooblie lines here.
Touma: NOOOOOOOOOO! *Wacks Dakota with his lightsaber*

------=_NextPart_000_001E_01BEECEF.7CF62E80--

Dakota: ACK! Revenge of the HTML!
Touma: *laughs* Not a bad fic....Except for the all the times you kept HITTING ME!
Dakota: *grins* You’re just upset because I was hitting you not hitting ON you.
