Thanks for reading! This chapter is shorter than the last one, but they will get longer
"Ushio. Ushio!"
We were all sitting around and watching TV, when Suzune suddenly looked panicky.
"Outside. Now."
Suzune had his hands clasped around his hand, and was looking very desperate.
They both rushed outside, leaving me alone to watch TV.
"What just happened?" I asked myself.
Maybe I should follow them outside to make sure they were okay.
I followed them all the way to the park, where there was a giant boulder sticking out of the ground. When did it get there? There was never a boulder here before!
"When did it start growing?" Ushio asked.
Suzune shrugged, "Probably last night. They're growing faster..."
Ushio nodded and held her hand out in front of her, "Should I-"
"Yes. This time at least." Suzune said.
"Maiden of stars, goddess Astraea! Lend me your powers!" Ushio cried.
"Messenger of the gods, Hermes, lend me your powers!" Suzune said besides her.
God and goddess powers?! Weren't all the rings destroyed? What was going on?
They were...in godly forms. Ushio was wearing her hair completely down, with a star headband. Her dress was a light blue on top, and getting deeper until it was black. Her dress was split into three layers towards the bottom, and at the very bottom, a neat row a silver stars lined it. She was holding a golden staff, with a silver crescent moon and a silver star in the middle.
Suzune wore something similar to Kazune when he used Apollo's powers, except he had wings on his back. He was holding a staff that had a round blue crystal on top, with wings attached to it.
They both began hitting the stone with attacks, but the boulder seemed to be deflecting it...
Then, one hit Suzune and he fell onto the ground.
"Onii-chan!" Ushio yelled.
Onii-chan? Don't tell me...Ushio was Suzune's sister? Wait a moment...that means Ushio is our child! This is getting very confusing.
In the one second which Ushio was distracted, the boulder hit a stream of purple light at her, and she also fell onto the ground.
"Onii-chan...what do we do?" Ushio asked.
Suzune gritted his teeth and stood up using the support of his staff.
"We have to destroy it, or else it'll be stronger."
"But onii-chan! Your powers are still recovering after what happened during the time travel! You stay here, and I'll destroy it. All right?" Ushio asked.
Suzune seemed to ponder on that thought for a while, before sitting down and saying, "Fine. But I'm going to rush up there if I see you need help."
Ushio smiled as she went towards the boulder and started hitting it again. Ushio was extremely fast...we weren't able to go that fast ever before. I could barely see her!
Then the light did hit her, as she flew into the air and landed...right...next...
To me.
Ushio rubbed her head before she looked up and noticed me.
"Karin!" Ushio said.
Suzune was also running over, and they both stared at me in shock. Was I in trouble? Or were they in trouble?
"Um...Karin? Why were you spying on us?" Ushio asked.
"Why were you guys fighting a boulder with godly powers? And why did you call Suzune onii-chan?" I asked.
Suzune and Ushio both looked away and advoided my eyes.
I sighed as I helped Ushio up and motioned for Suzune to follow me.
"We can sort this out at home. But I want you two to answer all of my questions all right?"
When we got home, we all sat around the table. Ushio and Suzune were both nervous. I could tell from the way they were glancing at each other every few seconds. I wished they'd stop being so tense...not that they shouldn't be worried.
"Look, I don't want you to think I'm mad or anything, but could you please tell me what's going on?" I asked.
"Do you want to get involved?" Ushio asked.
Did I want to get involved? Oh right...if I knew about what was going on, I'd be involved. I'd have to help them with whatever they're doing. It's exactly like what happened the first time I met Kazune-kun. Did I really want to know?
"Yes. I want to help." I told them
Ushio and Suzune glanced at each other before Suzune sighed.
"It began...that day on Ushio's birthday. We were all having fun, when the sky suddenly turned black and cloudy. Then, a boulder shot out of the ground in her room, chasing her and growing larger."
Suzune paused a moment before continuing, "Mom was worried that something was going on in the past. So she told us that we should go see what was going on. Dad agreed on that as well. They could've traveled back with us, but it would be a little unsafe since there would be two of each."
Ushio nodded and she put her face into her palms.
"The next day, we were about to leave, when stones shot up from all around us. Unlike the first one, they were black and had lightning all around them. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't destroy them. Dad then took out his spare rings, which he had made a while ago, and gave it to us, before teleporting us to the future."
I pointed at Suzune's ring. "And that's the one you have right now?" I asked.
Ushio shook her head, "No. We had already gotten ours the day we decided to leave. We don't know what to do with the extra five."
My eyes grew large, "Extra five? Five rings?" I asked.
Ushio nodded as she took out from her pocket, five different rings, each with a different jewel.
"There's Neptune, Aphrodite, Hades, Artemis, and dad made another copy of Uranus."
Those were the ones we used last time. Aphrodite was mine, Neptune was Micchi, Hades was Jin-kun, Artemis was Kazusa, while Uranus was Kazune-kun's.
"I think...you're suppose to give those to us. Those were the ones we used last time." I mumbled.
Suzune smiled, "Told you so Ushio. We are suppose to give them to you. That's why dad gave them to us in the first place. To find everyone."
"I suppose. But we'll have to explain the situation to everyone first," Ushio said.
Dovewing: Well, that was chapter two...did you guys like it?
Ushio: Oh I don't know...you could've made it more dramatic!
Suzune: True...the fight was more dramatic.
Dovewing: Oh be quiet! Anyways, the next chapter will be coming out real soon!
Ushio: Yay!
