Sorry it took so long to get this up! My first niece was born this weekend!

Anyways, I don't own anything, so yeah!

"So you mean to tell me that something is coming."

"Yes."

"But you don't know what."

"No."

"And you came halfway across the galaxy on the feelings of your Princess?"

Yaten's patience started to crack, "Yes, Rei, we trust our Princess AND her feelings."

Rei glared at him. "I have seen nothing in my fire- Nothing. Yet here you show up. I knew you couldn't just be here for the fun of it and now you are telling me your Princess had a feeling that something is going to happen?"

"If you want clarification, why don't you just ask the Princess?" Growled Yaten. "In any case, I didn't come 'halfway across the galaxy', as you put it, to be badgered by you."

"Well we certainly didn't ask you to be here." Rei growled back.

"Here I was thinking you were legitimately glad to see us again. Why are you writing music for Mina? You should be an actress," said Yaten mockingly.

"How dare y-" Began Rei, but they were interrupted by Minako poking her head into the hallway.

"There you are! I have been looking all over the place for you!" Said Mina, sighing in relief upon finding Rei. Then her eyes fell on Yaten and she stopped.

"Umm, hey," Mina said awkwardly.

Still angry with Rei, Yaten said, "Good you are here. We can all go now."

"No. Mina you take Yaten back to your place. There is something I need to go do. There are questions that need answers and in my present mood, I would just spoil the party." She gave Mina and quick hug and said with a smile, "You were amazing out there. I'll call you sometime tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah, okay, are you all right, Rei?" Mina looked worriedly at her friend.

"Yes, I just need to go investigate. I'll be all right. Call you tomorrow." With that, Rei turned and left, leaving Minako and Yaten alone.

"What happened?" Mina said, turning to look at Yaten.

"Don't you start on me too!" He said glaring at the door Rei had left through. He looked at Mina and saw her shocked expression. "I'm sorry. I'll explain, but first can we get out of here?"

Mina nodded and led him out of the hallway and towards the back parking lot where her car was. Neither of them said a word, both were stuck in their own thoughts.

How is this happening to me? Why do I have to go with him alone? Minako shook her head and tried to think of something else. Rei put that last song on our encore list. Why would she do that, knowing why that song was written and then turn around and get into an argument with him? I hope she is okay. Minako sighed aloud.

Why the heck did Rei get so mad at me? Yaten thought angrily. It's not my fault. It wasn't my idea. And how about some gratitude? We came here to see what we could do to help! Instead, I get interrogated! Yaten stared at the back of Mina's head as she led him through a maze of underground tunnels. Her hair had many braids in it, criss-crossing and wrapping around her head before they met in a large bun at the back of her neck. She was wearing a baggy sweater that hung off the edges of her shoulders and a pair of black yoga pants. Her hips swayed slightly as she walked and Yaten quickly realized that he was becoming mesmerized by the way she was moving. And why does she have to do that?!

When they got to Mina's car, she fumbled with her keys for a moment before dropping her hands down to her side. Yaten looked at her impatiently.

"What's wrong now?"

Mina looked up, embarrassed. "I was just wondering how you enjoyed the show?" She felt the color rise in her cheeks and dropped her head to stare at the ground. Yaten was slightly taken aback by her question, but composed himself well enough to answer.

"You did great. You really are the shining star I thought you were."

Mina snapped her head back up to look at him. By the expression on her face, he could see that it wasn't the answer she had been expecting, but the one she had been hoping for. A huge grin erupted across her face and he saw a glint of the old Mina again. She unlocked the car and they both climbed in.

"What kind of car is this?" Yaten asked as Mina backed up and began to pull out of the parking lot.

"Huh? Oh, I'm not sure. Haruka told me that this was the car that I needed to get if I was going to become an idol. I love it because it can go really fast." Mina said smiling as she pulled out onto a nearly deserted street and quickly switched to third gear. Yaten clung tightly to his seat and stared out the window as the world began to slide by.

"Just because it CAN go fast, doesn't mean it has too!"

Laughingly, Mina replied, "What's the matter? Don't you trust me?"

Yaten made no reply, but watched fearfully as Mina sped around traffic and flew under yellow lights. After what seemed like an eternity, they pulled up to a large gate and Minako was punching in a code. The iron gates swung open and they began pulling up a steep drive.

"Welcome to the Mizuno- Aino home!" Minako announced proudly as came to a plateau and a large house dominated the view. Trees grew tall around the small mansion, blocking it from view if you weren't level with it. A large fountain was out front and three cars were parked around it. "Oh, Haruka and Michiru are here too!"

Mina pulled the car into a large garage that was connected to the house and led Yaten inside through a door. They immediately entered into a large modern kitchen. The cabinets were all of a light brown wood and a large granite island counter was in the middle of the kitchen. Yaten looked around in wonder.

"How in the world do you afford this?"

"Well, I'm an idol and Ami has become a very successful surgeon! Our incomes combined make for a very comfortable home. There are some definite perks to living with a fellow scout, but I will show you those later. For now, let's head to the living room!" Mina grabbed his arm and pulled him through a doorway to the dining room. A large mahogany table stood in the middle and a sparkling chandelier hung over it. Eight tall chairs were seated around the table and places were set. White woven placemats sat in front of each of the chairs with dark blue plates and soft orange napkins placed on top of them. Yaten barely had time to take any of this in as Mina was still pulling him towards the living room. They passed under an archway and were in a large spacious room. There were several couches and a large TV in a grand cabinet. The floor was hardwood, and in the middle of all the couches was a large opulent rug. Everyone was seated on the couches and eating snacks that had been placed on the coffee table that was in the middle of all of them.

Everyone stood up and clapped when Mina entered the room. She quickly let go of Yaten's arm and took a comical bow, before saying, "Thank you, thank you!" Everyone laughed and Mina went down to sit next to Ami on one of the couches. She looked back at Yaten and smiling, patted the seat next to her. Feeling everyone's eyes on him, he wordlessly took it.

"So," began Makoto, "How did you like Mina's driving?"

"It was terrifying," said Yaten as everyone laughed.

"If you think that was bad, you should get into Makoto's car. She makes me look like a saint!" Laughed Mina. "Who had the misfortune of driving with you?

"Seiya and Kakyuu. Taiki was smart and drove with Ami," laughed Makoto. Taiki, who was sitting next to Ami, blushed.

"Indeed," said Mina, amusedly watching his reaction. "So what did you think of her driving?"

"Seiya tried to make me pull over and switch drivers- something about endangering Kakyuu and Usagi," Said Makoto waving her hand airily, while everyone laughed and Seiya glared at her.

"I lost count of the number of orange lights and stop signs you recklessly blew through."

"I thought it was exhilarating," said Kakyuu smiling at Makoto. "I think I would enjoy going again."

Makoto beamed and Seiya looked at Kakyuu with an injured expression.

"So where's Rei?" Haruka asked from beside Michiru on a loveseat. "Did she realize that you planned to drive home and decide to take her own car?"

"Actually no" Mina looked hesitantly at Yaten, not sure what to say.

"She decided she had stayed up late enough and wanted to get back to her temple." Yaten said, coming to Mina's aid. A general nod and shrug of shoulders told him that the others had believed his quick lie and that he had saved himself from another interrogation.

"Speaking of which, I had better get home too," said Makoto standing and stretching. "You coming with me, Usagi?"

"Yeah," said Usagi, yawning widely and rubbing her eyes. "Mamorou texted me during the concert that he wanted to meet for breakfast. Early." The last word came out as a whine.

Haruka and Michiru stood up as well, "We are also going, though I am sure we will see you again before too long," Said Michiru.

"But wait! I just got home!" Said Mina looking at her friends pleadingly.

"Don't worry dove, we'll probably stop by tomorrow. Michi-chan wants to record a new violin piece she has been working on and I should probably give your car an oil change." Said Haruka, taking Michiru's hand and allowing herself to be led out. Makoto and Usagi followed right after them. Farewells were called and then silence as the front door closed shut.

"Some after party," pouted Mina, crossing her arms.

"Mina, should we show our guests their rooms," Asked Ami politely.

"Oh yeah! Follow me!" Said Mina springing to her feet. The Three Lights and Kakyuu all stood and followed her as she led them up a marvelous staircase and down a long hall.

"This is the back of the house. I think we will put you guys in the rooms down by us, that way you can look out over the amazing garden we have. What do you think Ami," asked Minako. Ami, who was following behind replied, "That sounds fine to me."

The came to a circular opening area; two doors stood decorated and five other were bare. "You guys can pick which room you want out of the unmarked doors, the orange door is mine and the blue one obviously belongs to Ami."

Taiki, Yaten, Seiya and Kakyuu spread out to explore. Yaten opened the door that was to the left of the orange door and saw a large bed with a silver and green comforter on it. The bed was in front of a large window with light green curtains pulled aside on it. He walked toward the window and saw the edge of garden and vast expanse of sea just over the plateau's edge. The dark hardwood floors made no sound underneath his toes and the walls held paintings of flowers. A small grey nightstand stood on the right side of the bed and chair stood on the left side of it. A small closet stood in the corner and a door on the left wall held a private bathroom.

Yaten was taking off his shirt and shoes when Seiya walked in. "Whoa, nice! Is this the room you're picking?"

"Yes, I think so," said Yaten, putting his shirt on the chair and climbing on top of the bed, "Oh definitely yes." He said with a sigh as he sank into the fabric.

"Okay, well Kakyuu is on the other side of Mina and I am in between her and the empty room. Taiki is on the other side of the empty room and next to Ami's room. Just so you know," informed Seiya.

"Figures," Said Yaten through closed eyes.

"What figures?"

"That Taiki positioned himself next to Ami."

"You're not in a place to be picking on him for his location. You happen to be right next to Miss Aino, I'm sure that didn't happen on accident."

Yaten made no reply.

"Mina is bringing us some clothes to sleep in," said Seiya as he moved towards the door. Still Yaten said nothing. Seiya sighed and left. He ran into Mina as he shut the door.

"Seiya, I just dropped off clothes for you in your room. Also, Kakyuu asked that I tell you to stop by her room before going to bed." Said Mina, grabbing the door handle Seiya had just let go of.

"Thanks. I don't know if he will need any clothes, he is already practically asleep."

"Well, I will just drop them off, in case he wakes in the middle of the night and wants to change." Said Mina as she walked into Yaten's room and shut the door behind her.
