CHAPTER 4

Hiro was laying on a bed having a nightmare about he's previous battle against cessiar, the nightmare was so intense that he began to sweat and move around, when cessiar was about to raise his sword and delivered his final strike hiro woke up.

Hiro open his eyes and sat up in the bed, he looked around and notice that he was in a dark room "where am i and what was that....was i dreaming, it felt so real". he look at his hand confused, "that sword, that fightit felt so realand that girl". he tried to get up but he was still to weak."arghhh...what the!?". he felt a strange sensation on his body so he took the sheets of the bed and noticed that he was covered in bandages. "So it was real...i need to get up and find outwhat happenedand how i got in to this place". With slow steps he got out of bed, tremblimg with pain he procide to walk trying to reach the door, unaware of what awaited him.

He leaned againts the door frame trying not to fall, once out Hiro heard the voices of his friends and started to walk downstairs, one of his friends casey heard footsteps and turn to the hallway and saw that Hiro was walking towards them, she then rush to help him but at the same time she hug him feeling relax now that he was ok.

tears began to stream out of casey's as she said to Hiro: "thank goodness you're ok Hiro, i was so worried about you".

Hiro hug her back and gave casey a warm smile"its ok casey i'm fine now".

Casey help hiro walk slowly to the couch where Jason and Kyle were waiting for him.

Jason: "well look who decided to wake up, how are you feeling there bud?".

Hiro sat down and said: "well i feel like i got hit by a bus".

Kyle: "to be honest we thought that you were going to die, i mean you were in a really bad shape".

Hiro: look down on the floor thinking "you know for a moment there i thought that i was just having a nightmare,but now that i know that you are all here i know it was real, by the way where are we, this isin't the waterfall".

Jason, kyle and casey didn't know how to explain what happend so they just kept quiet, Hiro was a little worried that something was wrong but before he could say anything Hiro heard footspets coming towards them, he turned around and saw a girl walking to them, Hiro's eyes widen as he noticed that this girl had long silver hair and crystal blue eyes but also had two ears like a wolf and a tail that moves side by side, she was also wearing some strange clothes, she was wearing a long sleave blue shirt, dark pants and a white cape like if she was a mage.

Iris walk and sat down next to Hiro and said: "well it look's like yui's spell work after all, i mean you were in really bad shape".

Hiro still couldn't belive what he saw but he tried to look calm, " yes i feel much better, but who are you?".

Iris replied with a smile," oh where are my manners...my name is iris and before we continue with this conversationi have tosaythat i am very impressedwith what you did Hiro, you saved momonot once but twice, i would have never thought that a humansuch as yourselfcould had fought against those two".

Hiro and his friends kept quiet and didnt say a word , they where still a little too confuse.

Iris: I bet you have lots of questions about what happened yesterday and I'm more than happy to explained everything to you.

Hiro: please iris tell me who whe're those two and why did they wanted to take momo...

Iris: (look at hiro with a serious expression) there names are cessiar and Cecilia....there known for being ruthless and destructive, there jobs is to expand the kingdom of the shadows through all around the world and kill anyone who stance in there way....

All of them gasp as iris explained everything

Hiro: why did they wanted momo?

Asuka: (jumped down from the second floor),

They wanted her as hostage so that we could give up the chaos crystal...

Hiro: the...chaos crystal?

Iris: the chaos crystal is one of the most powerful gems in the entire universe and who ever harness its power could control the faith of the entire universe...a long time ago before us...there use to be guardians that protected the chaos crystal...but one day the shadow kingdom attacked our village and stole half of the crystal...and now it's our job to keep it safe...

Hiro:...I see...

Jason: wait I'm confused were did all of this took place because I don't remember any of this in the history books or the internet...

Iris: that happened many many years ago...

Jason: ( thinking), so if what your saying is true....then that must mean that all of you are really ol....

Asuka: ( draw her katana and put it on Jason's neck), say that we're old and your dead....

Jason: (Blink twice),n..no i wasn't going to say that your old I was just curious about how all of this happened,( laugh nervously).

Casey: (thinking), so all of you are from the past...let me guess you use the power of the chaos crystal and time travel here correct?

All of the boys look at Casey and blink at the same time.

Casey: (blush), well I mean...that's one way to put it right...

Iris: that's exactly how we got here but it wasn't us that use the power of the chaos crystal....it was our....(she look down)

Asuka: (close her eyes), it was our mother...we we're just kids when all of this happened...she sacrifice her life to save ours..

Hiro: I'm sorry for what happened.....

Iris: after that we've been living here with our grandmother...she's has been taking care of us ever since.

Kyle: woah so she's been taking care of all 5 of you that's amazing..

Iris: (smiled), she hasn't been taken care of all 5 of us...shes been taking care of all 12 of us..

Hiro: you mean to tell me that there's more of you I mean other than the once we saw yesterday?....speaking of which....were is momo?

Momo: (came out of the kitchen and jumped in to hiro and gave him a hug so big you could hear his bone Crack), hiro your finally awake!!!!

Hiro: m...momo...your hugging me to tight and ican't breathe.

Momo: (she let go and giggle)

Iris: well now that momo is here let's go to the garden and introduce to you the rest of our sisters...

They all walk outside and where amazed about the beauty of the garden, it had lots of flowers trees and a lake in the middle while they were walking they all heard the sound of metal clashing And saw the rest of the girls having an intense training, lily was using her extreme speed and was running through the lake, kana was using her sword and was cutting down practice dummies and the rest we're just sparing, Jason and Kyle had there eye's glued to them.

Casey: ( noticed that they were starting and smack them on the back of their heads) stop being such pervert and show them some respect!!!...

Iris: ok everyone gathered around we have visitors, ( all of them came and stud next to them, they all just kept quiet and look at hiro and his friends).

Jason: they all look like there about to kill us....

Kyle:sh..should we run?

Casey: you two are morons....

Iris: allow me to introduce our self..hiro,Jason, Kyle and Casey....this are all of my sister's...Akari, Azuka, kana,kazumi,yui,kana, yukki,lily, momo,nikko and me iris...and we're...the 12 deadly roses...

All of them look at the girls and we're stunned by all of them, each and one of them look exactly like momo but with different hair styles and colors also each one had a different kind of weapon.

Jason: wait a second..1...2....3...4..5...you said that you we're 12 but I only count 11.

Kana: you must be referring to scarlet..she hasn't been here for a while..

Asuka: scarlet is very impatient and doesn't like to sit around and do nothing...the last time we heard from her is that she was working with a top secret organization that hunts down the most dangerous criminals around the world.

Casey: so she's a bounty hunter...

Nikko: ( she walk to hiro and got in front of him and poke him in his face)...is it true that you really fought cessiar and Cecilia?

Hiro: um..yes...why?

Nikko: no reason...it's just that you don't look the type of person that could stand a chance against them..

Hiro: (annoyed), I've been told that you don't have to keep reminding me....

Momo: ( got in front of hiro and talk to her sisters) well he did...he punch and kick cessiar and he even got a sword and he cut him down so don't pick on him just because he looks soft...

Hiro: I am not soft!!!...

Akari: and we all know that momo but we need to know exactly what happened...

Grandma rose: I would like to know that as well,( she came out behind a tree as she walk to hiro),so you must be hiro..the one chosen by the chaos blade...

Hiro: the wha...??

Rose: (look deeply in his eyes), such fire... such pure heart....young man you have a great destiny ahead of you..come young man let me show you what I mean..it's time for you to understand why are you here..

All of them follow her to the center of the garden.

Hiro: ( in his mind), what is she talking about...I'm no warrior or a hero I just saw momo in danger and helped her that's all...why does everyone makes a big deal out of it..I don't understand...but I guess all have my answers once she takes me to wherever she's taking me...

Rose: are you ready Hiro?

Hiro: to be honest...i.I..
