Seiya watched as Kagome spun around and examined the interior of the clubhouse. After she finished, she turned to him with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"Self-obsessed much?" she questioned, gesturing to the posters on the wall.

"Well, when you're a musical superstar, it's only natural to put posters of yourself on the wall."

Kagome cocked her head. "You're a musical superstar?"

"You've never heard of the Three Lights before?"

Kagome frowned. "Actually, I think a friend of mine might have mentioned you once. I tend not to pay attention to trends though. I'm much too busy."

"That's a first. And sort of appreciated. As much as I love having girls fawn over me, it gets kind of old after a while."

"Girls fawn over you? Why? Not to say you aren't handsome, you are! It's just I don't really understand- I mean, it's nothing against you or, well, I mean-"

Seiya chuckled. "I get it."

"You do?" she asked hopefully.

"No," Seiya said with a smile.

Kagome pouted. "You're really mean."

"Yeah. I've heard that before," he said with a sigh.

"Your Usagi?" Kagome asked.

Seiya blushed lightly. "She's not my Usagi."

"But she will be! Speaking of which, we came here to plan. Let's get started. Do you have any paper?"

Seiya nodded and retrieved some paper and a few pencils. He brought them over to the table and he and Kagome sat down.

Kagome cracked her knuckles and picked up a pencil. Before she could write anything, however, the door opened and in walked two boys.

One was tall with auburn-brown hair and the other was about Kagome's height with silvery hair that made Kagome think immediately of two certain people in her life.

Blinking, she stood. She bowed a little. "Hello!"

The two boys stared at her and she stared back, instantly realizing what was going on, but unwilling to back down.

They were sizing her up, so she would size them up.

They both exuded a strange power, just like Seiya. It was different from youkai or even someone with holy power, and Kagome had no idea how to place it.

All she knew was that she'd have to watch out for the both of them. The back of her mind told her that she'd have to watch out for Seiya as well, but Kagome had gotten good at ignoring the tiny little voice.

Once they finished examining her, they turned to Seiya.

"Who is she?" the taller one asked.

"This is Kagome. Kagome these are my band mates. That's Taiki and that's Yaten."

"Who is she?" Yaten asked again, obviously not inquiring her name.

"She's a friend. I met her today."

"Yeah? Did you ever stop to think-"

"Yaten," Taiki said warningly. They shared a look. "Seiya," Taiki began, "Have you thought through what bringing her here and making friends with her means?"

Seiya clenched his fist, upset that they questioned his judgment. He wasn't an idiot, and he was offended that they'd imply that he'd just go around and reveal their secret to whoever.

"Of course! I'm not stupid."

"I'd beg to differ. What about Usagi?" Yaten asked.

"Usagi was different," Seiya said softly. "You know that. The whole situation was different. Kagome is different."

"Kagome's still here," Kagome interjected.

They all looked at her.

Kagome shrugged. "Anyway, as much as I enjoy listening to you guys talk, there are more important things to be done. Like planning." Her eyes lit up. "Do you guys want to plan with Seiya and I?"

"Plan what?" Taiki asked, his eyes narrowing.

"I'm helping him plan to overcome unrequited love and to make it so that he marries this Usagi girl you were mentioning. You seem to know her. Do you want to help?"

As soon as she finished explaining, both boys turned to Seiya, not bothering to respond to Kagome.

She pouted as they began to argue with her new friend.

"What is she talking about, Seiya?" Yaten asked.

"It's nothing."

"Trying to marry Usagi is not nothing. It's idiotic and stupid."

"I agree with Yaten. You should no better, Seiya. Especially if you consider-"

Taiki cut himself off, which was perfect for Kagome, because she had just come to a conclusion. It was pretty iffy, but she wasn't going to go against her gut.

"Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed, before pointing to Taiki and Yaten. "You're both suffering from unrequited love as well!"

Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten all stared at her. Seiya recovered first from her outburst, and put a hand to his chin before looking at his friends. "Hmm. I can see that," he said with a smirk. "Who is it, I wonder."

Kagome waved her hand dismissively and walked over to Yaten and Taiki. Up close, she was barely Yaten's equal in stature.

"It doesn't really matter who it is," she said firmly. "What matters is that they're going through unrequited love and I want to help. So, do you guys want help?"

"Idiot," Yaten said in a quiet but strong voice, looking Kagome in the eyes.

Blue met green and green flashed coolly.

"We are going through nothing of the sort and you are a fool to make such assumptions. Not to mention we would never accept your help, even if we were going through such a thing. What would you know, anyway? You're just a pathetic, average girl who can't keep her nose out of other people's business."

Seiya stepped forward and put a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "Yaten. Don't be mean. Kagome hasn't done anything to make you say that. Apologize."

The two boys locked eyes and tension filled the air. Just as Taiki was about to step in, Kagome giggled.

They all looked at her in surprise. She just continued to giggle. She ended up gasping from laughter, her eyes watering up.

When she finally was able to collect herself, she just waved her hand and shook her head.

"It's fine Seiya, there's no need to be so defensive. He didn't say anything that bothered me. My big brother is almost exactly like him. Less talkative, granted. Normally, he just gives out one insult and glares at you until you're reduced to a puddle of shivering goo, but it's technically the same thing."

Kagome flicked Yaten's nose lightly. His eyes widened before they narrowed at her.

Kagome grinned and winked cheekily. "Oh, lighten up. The world could use less people who know how to glare like you. Anyway, Seiya, I think I'll go now. I'll come back tomorrow at about 1:00. Is that okay? And I think I'll bring some lunch for you guys. You all look so thin. Do you even eat?" she clucked her tongue and shook her head in a motherly fashion. "You all need to eat more. I've decided. I'll go home and make the three of you lunch. Bye!"

Kagome walked out, leaving two slightly stunned males and one glaring male.

The glaring male, who was, predictably, Yaten, turned to Seiya. "Explain. Who. Is. She."

Nearly withering under the shorter boy's glare, Seiya sighed, but gave the condensed version of the full story.

"I was walking and she bumped into me. My coffee spilled so she offered to by me a new one. I went with her and we started talking. She ended up telling me about how she was going through something like I was with Usagi. Then, she decided that she was going to make Usagi fall in love with me. I don't see the harm in it. What could she do?"

Taiki glared at him. "You don't see the harm, Seiya? The whole space-time continuum could be ruined! Consider Chibiusa! She would never be born if your friend succeeds. And what of King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity? The whole future could be destroyed!"

Seiya was shaken to his core. He hadn't actually considered what would happen if she succeeded. The idea of Chibiusa never being born was especially harrowing.

"Don't be silly, Taiki. She couldn't succeed. Mamorou and Usagi's love is eternal. Nothing could come between them."

"And if something does come between them? You, for example? This is the reason Mamorou won't let you go anywhere near Usagi."

Seiya flinched. "It's harmless, Taiki. You saw her. What could Kagome really do? She's harmless."

"Looks can be deceiving."

The two boys stared at each other, similar to how Yaten and Seiya had been staring at each other earlier.

This time, Yaten broke up the brewing fight.

"Taiki, I think you're forgetting what we came back for. The scouts called a meeting. Seiya, you need to come, too."

Seiya and Taiki broke eye contact.

"So I'm allowed to be in Usagi's presence now?" Seiya asked bitterly.

"Don't be childish," Yaten said. "Apparently, they encountered a new enemy."

"A new enemy? Huh. Well, let's get going then."

They boys left the clubhouse and while they were walking, Seiya smirked.

"So, about that unrequited love…"

"Shut up," Yaten said.

"Be quiet, Seiya," Taiki said.

Seiya smirked as he looked at his two friends on either side of him.

They had denied it, but he could see the light blush on both of their cheeks.

Kagome really knew her stuff.
