Welcome to the fourth chapter of my story. I know that in the past few chapters I've been descriptive of some things and others are left for you to come up with. Sorry about that if you don't like it, but I'm afraid that too much detail and descriptions with make you bored or something. It need be I'll go back and add detail once I'm done with the story. So let us get on with the show.
Chapter 4: Meeting
*****A Few Days Later*****
It was the third day of the month again. That day of the month was always when the clan leaders had to come together, go to the palace, and listen to Benjiro whine about how things weren't going the way he wanted for some reason. Ironic, isn't it? Before going to the palace though, they met in a field, an equal distant from their clan's towns.
"I hate this day of the month," stated a man with sea foam blue hair, and light blue eyes that showed his annoyance. He wore a white ruffled shirt and dark blue pants. He was Aphrodite, leader of the Pisces clan.
"Like anyone here is going to argue that. I'm tired of looking like a wimp to that damn lunatic," spoke up another. He had short, dark purplish-blue hair and eyes. The man wore all black. Known as Deathmask to his clan, Cancer, no one really knew if that was his given name, or he just liked trying to scare people.
"Let's just get this over with and go home, ok?" The man was calm, with brown hair and green eyes. Standing near him was a similar looking man, but a little younger. Aiolos of Sagittarius and Aiolia of Leo were half brothers. They were pretty close and did their best to keep peace.
"I agree. I would like to get there and ignore him, and go home for the night," agreed a man to Aiolos's left. Two men stood near each other, both having long blue hair and eyes and wore dark blue shirts and black pants. The twins were leaders of the Gemini clan, Saga and Kanon.
"And if we're lucky we will only have to see him again next month," said a man with long, light purple hair and green eyes. He wore all white clothes and his hair was tied back, with some string. Next to him was a man with blonde hair who kept his eyes closed, though everyone once in a while he would open his blue-green eyes to make a point. He wore a white toga type outfit. The two were Mu of Aries and Shaka of Virgo.
"Then let head on to the palace already, we're all here anyways," said another man with short dark green hair, and eyes. Shura of the Capricorn clan wore a green shirt with black pants and shoes. He stood near two other men who didn't say anything. One was extremely tall with brown hair and eyes, and the other had the same hair and eyes, but was much shorter than the other man. They were Aldebaran of Taurus and Dohko of Libra. Aldebaran wore a brown shirt with darker brown pants and shoes, and Dohko wore a Chinese looking outfit that was a tan color.
After a few more minutes of talking, they all header towards the palace.
*****The Palace*****
"There are less and less people that I can trust anymore in this country. You thirteen, I also know probably try to plot against me, but luckily for me you can't do a whole lot," Benjiro paced around the room with the leaders watching him dully.
'I wonder how long it will take that to change,' Thought Camus, wondering why Benjiro had bothered to have them meet if this is what he wanted to say to them. It's not like they could disagree with them seeing as the only way they helped him was against their own wills.
"As for the point of this meeting, the rebel group Alethia has been able to hide where their headquarters is. Though they have barely any really chance of over throwing me I can't stand by and wait for them to find some way of getting me. Hopefully, by the end of this year we can get rid of that group once and for all," Benjiro said gleefully.
Fat chance of that, asshole, went right through Deathmask's mind and tried his best not to say it out loud at the same time Aphrodite rolled his eyes thinking, 'Not likely, until your dead.'
"Tomorrow, I want you to search for them up north in the thicker part of the Ceres Forest. There are a lot of caves hidden in that area that they could use. That is all," Benjiro then dismissed them and walked out of the room to his chambers.
The thirteen leaders left the room as well and then walk off the palace grounds. When they were clear of the town they started talking amongst themselves.
"What is with him and trying to catch a group of people he knows can't do a whole lot to him, unless they actually find someone stronger than him?" asked Aldebaran.
"He's probably just wanting to a prove point to the country that he can't be beat. The best way to do that is to get rid of this group," replied Shaka.
"Might not work though. Some people who think about rebelling might back off if he does get them, but others might try harder to get rid of him once Alethia is gone," spoke up Dohko.
"Even so, I wish that he would send someone else after them. I don't know them, but I tend to hate killing people who have similar goals I have," commented Deathmask.
"I agree. It's not even like they are going to be where we search tomorrow. Even If they are, they might see a large amount of troops and us, and leave until we're gone," said Aphrodite.
"We'll just have to see what will happen tomorrow," said Aiolos and he split from the group to go home.
Everyone else followed his example, going towards the different directions of their clans' location.
All right I know there still isn't a whole lot of XXXHolic stuff going on but again I'm getting to it. When I first wrote this story, I wasn't really thinking of doing only one CLAMP series put into it. To tell the truth it was kind of like a XXXHolic X Saint Seiya X Tsubasa Chronicles type thing going on. Or at least that was the plan, if and when I made a sequel. (There always has to be one.) Anyways, we'll see how things go. Also, I know things are getting slower, but I have to fix some of the stuff in my original story and this kind of slips my mind at school. Bye for now.
