"Seiya! Give me a turn!" Usagi yelled as she wrenched the game controller from his hands.

"Odango! I was about to win!" Seiya tried to wrestle the controller back from Usagi.

"You've been playing forever, let me have a chance!" Usagi whined as she tugged on the controller as Seiya tugged on the other end of it.

"Come on! Once I win, you can play!" Seiya tugged.

"But by then, dinner will have already have come!"

"Well, then you can play after dinner!"

"You're so mean to me, Seiya!" Usagi yanked a final time and the controller was in her hands, but she also fell on the floor.

"Aha!" Seiya reached down to grab the controller from her, but she kicked him, and he ended up on the floor on top of her.

"Give me that controller!" Seiya tried to grab it from Usagi's hands.

"Never!" Usagi shouted in triumph.

Suddenly their door opened up and Yaten walked in. "Excuse me?" He looked at the two on the floor, wrestling for the game controller. Usagi and Seiya both realized what they were doing and started to blush and sweat drop. Seiya got off of Usagi.

"Sorry Odango." He blushed.

"Dinner's here," Yaten raised an eyebrow. "Come and eat when you're hungry." And then he shut the door and left.

"Got it!" Seiya quickly grabbed the controller out of Usagi's hands and stuck his tongue out at her. "I win!"

"Fine, you can win." She got up and headed out the door. "But I'll eat all of your food!" She laughed evilly as Seiya quickly turned off the game and ran after her.

Usagi had gotten seated at the table when Seiya ran in, and Usagi stuck her leg out and tripped him, laughing evilly. Both Yaten and Taiki sweat dropped.

"That was cold." Seiya laughed as he got up from the floor and sat down at his seat at the table.

"I know, but you better eat before your food gets 'cold'." She smiled at Seiya.

"Odango, if you didn't look so cute when you did that, I'd pop you one." Seiya laughed and put some noodles on his plate.

"I *do* look cute, don't I?" Usagi batted her eyelashes at Seiya.

"Pass the rice please," Yaten interrupted their conversation, and Usagi and Seiya sweat dropped, realizing that they were being childish.

"Seiya, I can see that you are enjoying 'Cousin' Usagi's stay here, ne?" Taiki raised an eyebrow at Seiya.

"Well," Seiya blushed. "I've always had fun with Usagi." He looked up at Usagi with a blush still on his face.



The rest of dinner was finished in mostly silence. After dinner, Usagi and Seiya retreated to their room. Usagi had just come out of the bathroom from a shower, and now changed in her new nightgown that had stars and moons on it.

Seiya sat on the bed, still playing his racing game. Usagi walked in, and had a towel with which she was trying to dry all of her long hair.

"I don't know how I'm ever going to get all of this dry." She sighed and sat down at a desk that was in the room.

"I usually use a hair dryer." Seiya said and then growled at the game when he crashed.

"I guess I could use one of those," Usagi felt lazy though. Instead, she sat there watching Seiya play his game, and she braided her hair, it was so long that it almost fell at her shins.

"Aw man!" Seiya threw the game controller down. "I'm sick of playing this stupid game." He fumed as he turned the game and the TV off.

"So, what's the sleeping arrangement tonight, Seiya?" Usagi got up and jumped onto the bed.

"How about YOU take the couch and I'll sleep on the bed, since you got to sleep on it last night."

"Aw, I don't want to sleep on the couch." Usagi pouted.

"Fine, then sleep on the floor, because I'M taking the bed." Seiya stood up and held his hands on his hips, staring at Usagi.

Usagi whined a little in protest, and then looked up at Seiya. "Fine, I'll sleep on the floor." She took all of the blankets off of Seiya's bed and flopped down on the floor, giggling evilly.

"Odango!" Seiya yelled.

"I'm taking the floor, so I get the blankets, you can get some more blankets." She stuck her tongue out at Seiya and then proceeded to make up a little bed for herself on the floor.

"Fine, I'll just go get some blankets from Taiki and Yaten." Seiya stomped out of his room and went to Taiki and Yaten's room. He knocked three times, and then he heard Taiki.

"Come in."

Seiya walked into Yaten and Taiki's room. Their room was the biggest room that's why they had to share. Seiya's room was smaller, but still, the apartment fit them all right. Two beds were in the center of the room, and bookshelves lined the walls. A small table had various pieces of camera equipment on it, and Yaten was sitting on his bed screwing a camera together. Taiki was sitting on his bed writing in a small blue book.

"I need some blankets." Seiya whined.

"Aren't there some in the closet?" Yaten didn't look up from his camera.

"No . . . I looked the other night." Seiya whined.

"Oh, stop whining, Seiya." Taiki stopped writing in his book and looked up at him. "There's a blanket over there in the corner." Taiki pointed to the corner.

"Arigato, Taiki." Seiya walked over and got the blanket, and then started to walk out the door, but was stopped by Taiki.

"Seiya?"

Seiya stopped and turned around.

"Be careful with what you tell her, okay?" Taiki looked wise as he peered at Seiya over his glasses.

"Don't worry Taiki, I'm only telling her what she asks to hear, and usually I just make that up." Seiya winked. "You can count on me, okay?"

"Okay, I'm trusting you. Act like a *cousin* okay?" Was Taiki's last bit of advice as Seiya walked out of the room.

'Act like a cousin? What is that supposed to mean? I just joke around with her a lot, is that how family members are supposed to act? Yeah, she's pretty and all, but I wouldn't blow our cover or anything . . . he seems like he's not trusting me as he should.' Seiya thought this all the way back to the room.

When he got back into his room, he saw Usagi lying on the floor, looking quite comfortable with his blankets and pillow.

Seiya sighed and got into his bed, taking care to step over Usagi when he went there.

"Night Seiya . . . " Usagi sleepily rolled over and faced the bed.

"Good night Odango." Seiya covered up with his single blanket and turned off the light that was on his bed table, thus plunging the room into darkness. Seiya wasn't very sleepy, but he just lay in bed, nodding off a little, when he heard Usagi start to snore gently. He rolled over and looked at Usagi, looking none too graceful on the floor.

He smiled to himself. 'What have we gotten ourselves into? Fooling her like this isn't the right thing to do. I can't believe I have to lie to this angel.' Seiya sighed and rolled over. He would keep up the façade as long as he could, if only for his brother's sakes, and for his mission.

"Mushi Mushi?" A voice answered the telephone.

"Hello, Mrs. Tsukino?" Minako's voice carried across the telephone.

"How are you, Minako?" Usagi's mother smiled into the phone.

"I'm okay, I was just wondering something." Minako nervously played with the phone cord.

"What is it dear?" Mrs. Tsukino had just finished making dinner.

"I was wondering if you had seen Usagi."

"What do you mean, Minako? I thought that she was staying at your house." Mrs. Tsukino suddenly got worried.

"Well, the fact of the matter is, she never arrived here." Minako anxiously told her.

"Nani?" Mrs. Tsukino dropped the phone she was in so much shock. She slowly regained her bearings and picked the phone back up. "Did you check the other girl's houses?" Awful thoughts of her daughter being kidnapped ran through her mind.

"Hai, Ami hasn't seen her since the library." Minako let a tear fall down her face.

"I'll tell Kenji and then I'll go over to the police station right away, okay Minako?" Mrs. Tsukino was still in shock.

"Arigato, I hope we can find her soon." Minako wiped away the tear that lingered on her cheek.

"I'll update you as soon as I can, Minako. Goodbye." Mrs. Tsukino hung up the phone. "My baby . . ." She fell to the ground, holding her mouth.

Usagi awoke suddenly. She had a nightmare about being run over by a car. She shuddered, rolled over and looked at Seiya. He was lying on the bed, sleeping, but he was shivering. Usagi felt a tinge of sadness as she realized he only had one blanket and she had three. She uncovered herself and picked up a blanket and covered Seiya up gently.

Seiya rolled over in his sleep and mumbled something. Usagi leaned down and kissed him gently on the forehead. "Sleep well, cousin." She whispered to his sleeping figure, and then she went back to the floor and fell back asleep quickly.



"Seiya, Usagi! You can't sleep all day, you know!" Yaten yelled from the doorway. It was odd for him to be waking people up; he was usually the sleeping one.

"I'm awake, Yaten!" Seiya picked up the nearest thing and flung it at the door. Luckily, it only was Usagi's pillow, but Seiya yanked it out from underneath her and her head landed on the floor with a thud.

"Itai, Seiya . . . " Usagi started to whine.

"Gomen Odango," Seiya mumbled as he flung his legs over the bed, hitting her in the face.

"Seiya!" She yelled as his feet smacked her.

Seiya quickly got off of the bed and helped Usagi up. "Gomenasai, Usagi!" He hugged her and she started to cry, he has hit her pretty hard in the nose.

"I'm going to get a nosebleed!" Usagi whined as Seiya held her in a hug.

"I said I was sorry, Usagi." He squeezed her tighter for good measure and then let her go. "Come one, let's go and see if there's something to eat for breakfast, okay?" He helped Usagi stand up.

"Okay," Usagi still rubbed her nose.

The two walked into the kitchen, Seiya with his arm over Usagi's shoulder and Usagi holding her nose.

"What's wrong, Usagi?" Yaten looked up from his toast.

"Seiya hit me in the face with his feet when he got out of bed." Usagi sighed and sat down in her chair and Seiya sat next to her.

"I said gomen . . . " Seiya sighed.

Taiki turned around from the stove. "You guys have to eat breakfast quickly, we don't want to be late today." Taiki gave them all some scrambled eggs, and soon they were all done eating.

Usagi went into her bedroom and picked out a new red shirt and blue jeans to wear today. She brought her clothes into the bathroom and untied her hair from the braids that she slept in, and redid them in Odangos. She quickly brushed her teeth and then went back into the kitchen to wait for everyone else to get ready. Once everyone was ready, the four "Kou's" donned their sunglasses and went outside to get in the car.

The drive was relatively a quiet one, Usagi asked a few questions about "The Three Lights" and Seiya joked that they should be "The Four Lights" and Taiki gave him a stern glare.

"We're riding the wave from our latest album which includes 'Nagareboshi He.'" Yaten answered mater-of-factly.

Usagi nodded, she couldn't remember hearing the song before, but she was sure she'd hear it soon enough.

Once they got to their agent's office, they all got out of the car and went inside. Usagi was surprised to meet their manager. His name was Takashi, and he was middle-aged man who had dark brown hair that was starting to fall out. He was fat and short, and wore gold rings on his fat fingers.

"You must be Kou Usagi!" Takashi ran over to Usagi as she walked in with the other Three Lights.

"Hai," Usagi smiled as he took her hand and shook it tightly.

"Takashi desu. It must be really neat having famous cousins you get to live with, ne?"

"Actually, Usagi just came to Japan." Taiki smiled. "She still needs to get used to our popularity here."

"Well then, welcome, welcome! Your Japanese is great." He was still shaking her hand, and Usagi got a little nervous.

"Usagi, let me show you the view here," Seiya grabbed Usagi by the shoulders and brought her over to the window.

"It's a great view." Usagi then mouthed 'arigato' to Seiya, she was happy he had saved her from the grasp of Takashi.

"So . . .are you all ready to go to your first 'Three Lights' concert?" The manager smiled.

"I suppose, I just hope that they sing as beautifully as they speak." Usagi smiled.

"Isn't that sweet of her, eh Yaten?" Takashi nudged Yaten who nodded. Yaten obviously didn't like this man.

"Lovely, lovely." Takashi smiled. "Hey, Taiki, do you know who I'm having a meeting with today?" He smiled and leaned up against his desk.

"Who?" Taiki sat down in a chair that was near Takashi's desk.

"Kaiou Michiru, isn't that amazing?" He grinned.

"Michiru?" Usagi asked.

Seiya looked at Usagi in surprise. "Do you know of her?" Seiya asked.

Usagi stared at space for a moment, and then shook her head. "I don't think so, but her name seems to ring a bell. I must have heard it before."

The Three Lights breathed a silent sigh of collective relief. It would've foiled their plan if Usagi had been a big fan of her and then remembered it from her past.

"So, anyway Taiki, we were thinking about scheduling a joint concert with you and her, wouldn't that be fun?" He grinned.

"Yeah, I'm sure it would be a lot of fun." Seiya smiled. Kaiou Michiru was very beautiful, or so he heard, and this would be a good chance to see if what he heard was true.

"If she agrees to it, I'd be glad to be in such company such as herself." Taiki smiled.

"Good, why don't you boys . . . and gal, go down to the theatre and practice for tonight?" Takashi smiled.

"Hai, we'll see you later." The three boys and Usagi left the room and got into the elevator. Just as their elevator closed, the one next to it opened, and it revealed Kaiou Michiru and Ten'oh Haruka. Michiru had shoulder length blue hair, and was very beautiful. Haruka on the other hand, looked just like a man, with her short blonde hair, everyone when first meeting her assumed she was such.

"Michiru . . . did you feel that?" Haruka asked as they stepped out of the elevator.

"Hmm, yeah, it does feel a little odd." Michiru rubbed her arms. "I wonder why."

Haruka shrugged. "Come on, let's get to that meeting, I'd like to get out of here."

"Okay, Haruka, keep your shirt on." Michiru giggled at the phrase she used. Haruka shook her head. They knocked on Takashi's door.
