Chapter 3: Meeting The Ryusoulgers Properly

The next morning, Juniper woke up early. The sun was just starting to rise. They sat up and stretched. Yesterday had been very chaotic. They had done a lot. At least they felt fine. The injuries and bruises from the fight had been treated very well. There was not much residual pain from any of them.

Juniper looked around the cave. They didn't see Bamba or Towa anywhere. Had both of them already gotten up and moving for today? Juniper had no idea what any of these other Ryusoulgers were like still. Today was the time to start learning. If they were going to be working together, they had to all get to know each other more.

They got up and went searching for where either brother was. They found the two of them just outside the cave. It looked like they were cooking something.

"Good morning, Juniper!" Towa noticed them and waved.

"Morning." Juniper replied, coming to sit next to him.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah."

Juniper noticed that Bamba was still watching them with distrust in his eyes. Hopefully starting today they could work on that. They needed everyone to trust them. They were on their side. There was no reason for this hostility.

But, the fact there was distrust just made Juniper more certain they could not let any of these other Ryusoulgers know that they were half-blood. If perhaps they had met all of these others before the Druidons started trying to destroy Earth again, maybe they could have disclosed that information. But, with the current state of everything, it seemed like the safest thing to do was keep quiet until they needed to tell them.

"What's the plan for today?" Juniper asked.

"After breakfast we should go meet with everyone again. You should get to know everyone better." Towa replied, "Right, nii-san?"

Bamba glanced his way for a moment, and then went back to focusing on what was being made. He didn't make any comment.

Towa offered an apologetic smile to Juniper. Juniper shrugged in reply. They understood the hesitance. They had just kind of appeared out of nowhere. It was a bit suspicious. After all, the tribe probably thought they were dead. No one would have ever known of their existence, especially as a Ryusoulger.

And with the fact that the way they transformed was completely different from everyone else, it only would raise suspicions. Juniper wondered if there was a way they could get the same transformation device as everyone else and use it. Would that make everyone trust them more?

"Can you tell me a little bit about everyone?" Juniper requested of Towa. They wanted to make sure they didn't accidentally say something rude and get off on the wrong foot with someone.

Towa nodded. "Sure."

The two kids talked for a while. Once they ate, the three of them set out to go meet up with everyone once more. They went back to the house. There were two more people in it than last time. They were apparently the actual owners of the house. All of the Ryusoulgers were just crashing there.

Juniper was cornered around the table once more. Looks like more of the talking was going to happen. A lot of new things had come to light since the first talk they had.

"You have a lot of explaining to do." Asuna was the first one to speak. "Just who are you?"

"I... don't feel comfortable disclosing that information." Juniper replied.

"Where are your parents?" Melto asked.

Juniper didn't answer. How could they say the truth? If they told everyone that the tribe was responsible for the death of their parents, wouldn't that make them more distrusted? If the tribe had reasons to kill their parents, wouldn't that mean something was wrong with them as well?
