ARRIVALS

All four girls arrived at the mansion drenched to the skin. They had probably been driven here within an hour and it seemed that they were at the countryside. They had made their acquaintances with one another but still needed to get each other's names since they had been hurried all the way here.

"Here we are girls", said one of the maids in a thick French accent. "This is where you will be staying. I will show you your rooms and tomorrow I will be able to show you around the compounds. The house was huge and very sophisticated. The stairs that they treaded on opened up into two other stairs, one leading to the right wing, the other the left wing. The left wing was where the girls bedrooms were and the right wing was where Hiro had retired to.

Outside it seemed that a storm was raging madly worse than the one they encountered at the airport. You girls should take a hot bath to calm yourselves down. Why don't you get ready while I prepare it. The maid left the room where all four girls would be sharing on their stay here.

Looking around they now finally realized how big this room was. In Hilary mind she thought that it was at least 10 times bigger than her own room which she thought was big. There was a fire place nearby with chairs, futons, cushions and a television. There was a computer nearby and 4 closets near each of the beds which had been put in the room into the shape of a cross, a large square space in the middle of all four beds.

"Well... I like the room", said the Nikki as she looked around. "The silence is really not helping...why don't we introduce ourselves to one another"

Hilary decided to speak up and break the silence by introducing herself.

"My name is Hilary Takino. I come from Japan and I'm hoping that we can all become good friends"

"My name is Nikki Dansecha. I'm from Italy and we've gotta break this silence cause it's beginning to kill me"

"My name is Michelle Sentra. I from Egypt and it's really nice to meet you"

"...My name is Tasha Metakia. I'm from Russia and it is really nice meeting you. I'm...I'm not used to been around so many unknown people so forgive my behavior"

"Oh, no It's nothing!", Hilary exclaimed. "Don't you think that we are been a bit..."

"Formal", said Nikki plainly

"Yeah", replied Michelle. "We should loosen up a bit"

"Girls the bath is ready and by the time you get back your bags should be in your rooms. The bath is just through that door and all four of you can use it", she said nudging all four of them gently towards the bath

"Don't we go one by one?", asked Tasha confused her head tilted to the side

"Oh...I forgot to tell you. You should actually see for yourself how it looks like", the maid replied.

Entering the bath room the girls saw a big bathtub that looked like a swimming pool but was much shallower than that.

"I hope that this is alright for you...". The maid had turned around to find that there were no girls behind her. Turning to look at the pool she noticed that they were preparing to disrobe and bathe that moment.

"It looks really inviting!", Tasha exclaimed as she entered the bath ans sighed in relief as her muscles took to liking the warm almost hot water. The other girls followed in suit relaxing in the water until they heard a laughter. Looking over they saw the maid laughing at their eagerness and blushed realizing what they had done. All of a sudden they all burst into laughter because right now there was no time to be modest.

The maid left saying that there would be food for them in their rooms when they were done and during their time in the bath, they were able to talk to one another and learn more about each other.

"I think I'm turning into a prune said Michelle as she grabbed her towel from nearby.

"We are turning into prunes", said the other three girls simultaneously laughing as they reached for their towels.

All of a sudden the doors of the bath opened revealing a tall boy with aqua colored hair. Looking down he realized that he had barged into the bath that contained four girls who were half naked and trying to cover up as much as possible while screaming at him turn around.

He turned around blushing furiously, his face as red as a tomato. He walked back into their room and close back the doors of the bath. All the girls were shocked at what happened but not as embarrassed as the guy was.

(Thirty minutes later after the girls had dressed there was a knock at the door)

"Come in", yelled a voice from inside

The male once again entered their room with his head bowed in embarrassment as his cheeks held a tint of red on it. All the girls recognized him immediately and stopped eating their snack waiting for him to begin talking.

"Im sorry for barging in on you earlier and now and would like to offer my apologies. My name is Zeo Yarasuki"

(Yeah! It's Zeo from the Second Season. He is flesh and blood now due to some funny accident that occurred on one of his stays in that house which the girls are now in. It's his house)

"Hi Zeo", all the girl greeted him in sync

Michelle seemed to show more of an interest in him. She was curious about him and wanted to find out as much as possible about him.

"I just wanted to say that hope you have everything you need", he continued on. "I will give you the privacy that you need. It was nice to meet you all", he finished, his eyes catching Michelle's curious gaze at him.

Upon closing the door a smirk appeared on his face. 'Working with them would be fun especially the red head, Michelle', thought Zeo as he walked towards his room that was also situated on the Left Wing.

------------------

The skies outside were very dark with the storm and it seemed that there would be more rainfall that day. Michelle had snuck out of her room out of boredom and decided to see how the other rooms looked liked. She opened each one and entered to glance at it and would then move on to another room she finally came to the last room down the hall and opened the door entering. This room seemed livelier though all the rooms were dark. Michelle did not even realize that someone was watching her through the darkness as she stepped inside to glance around..

"Do you always barge into other people's room", asked Zeo as he stepped out of the shadows shocking her.

"Oh my. I'm quite sorry. I didn't mean to", she replied stepping backwards and tripping herself.

She braced herself for impact expecting to hit a cold floor. Opening her eyes she realized that she was in Zeo's arms. He had caught her before she fell.

"Are you all right", he asked his expression serious

"Yes I am. Thank you very much", she replied. Michelle had expected Zeo to let her go but yet it seemed that his grip on her petite waist tightened slightly as he looked into her eyes.

"You have lovely eyes Miss...", he trailed on hoping for her to finish the sentence for him

"Miss Sentra", she finished for him, her voice like a whisper as she got caught up in his gaze

----

(Inner Michelle is in Bold)

'What do you think you are doing. We are supposed to be tough and hard'

'Whatever', replied Michelle in a daze to herself

'Oh Boy, not again. The last one was a total idiot. The one before that was just obsessed with you now what's the problem with this one?" the inner voice hissed

'HELLO THERE. WAKE UP!'

Michelle's hand held unto the sleeves of his shirt tightly reveling in the warmth that his body provided.

"It is nice to finally meet you personally, Miss Sentra", he whispered into her ear hotly sending chills right down to her spine.

A knock came at the door releasing both teenagers from their heady spell. Opening the door, Zeo carried in a tray thanking the his butler who had brought it up for him.

"Would you like to stay and have something to eat, since I'm kinda lonely at the moment?", he asked a true smile on his face

"Sure as long as there is something to eat along with it", she replied back with a smile

He chuckled at her response and put the tea on a table in front of the two seater. A conversation sparked between the two of them and both were caught up in it not knowing what time it was.

Two hours had passed sending Michelle into a peaceful slumber on Zeo shoulder. He looked over and smiled at her. She was something really special.

-------------------------------------------

Hilary walked on and on into the park hoping to find a bench to sit on when she saw the boys up ahead playing.

"Hey, Tyson, Ray, Daichi, Kenny, Kai", she yelled hoping to attract their attention but it seemed that they couldn't hear her.

As she ran closer they began to look farther away that she had been before and night seemed to be falling fast. Before she knew it everywhere was pitch black and she was all alone until she heard someone step up to her. Looking up she saw Kai and her eyes lit up with joy and hope.

"Could you help me up", asked Hilary hopefully

Kai only looked at her hand, then her face and turned away uttering the one word that would break her into two, "Pathetic".

She tried to stretch her hands out to him but it was no use. He only faded deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Hilary sat up abruptedly, sweat gracing her face. Remembering that all she saw was a dream she calmed down. Looking up at the ceiling she made a pact with herself that she would become the lady that she could be fulfilling her potential with the utmost limits and she would never be called weak ever gain.

She closed her eyes once more, the rain lulling her back into an uncomfortable slumber.
