I saw it in the sky

I lift the can to my lips and take a sip as I sit in the war-zoned lounge. A few pillows were still on the floor and a couple of chairs are still stacked like a wall, but other than that everything is how it should be.

Well mostly…

Most of the people are staring at me, some shocked and surprised, others grinning like cats that got hold of some cream and still others who didn't seem to care when I caught them staring. I'm sitting on the floor at the Lion Emperors' feet and his hand rested on my head. My face is most certainly the same colour as the red head giants' hair.

He was nothing compared to the lilac coloured hair giant, who was currently munching on a box of chocolate pocky. This giant kept looking at me, smirking than turning his head to watch the red haired guy argue loudly with the green haired bespectacled man.

"I still can't believe that you still follow your horoscope! I mean, that's like me saying 'I'm going to win the lottery tonight because I saw it in the sky' and we both know that's not true!" the tiger-like red head says.

Everyone has turned to watch him now and I feel relieved that their eyes were off me. I don't like being the centre of attention.

"It's just like a Leo to be closed off from the celestial energy and that is why we lost today. Everyone else was just fine but it was your rotten luck that brought down the whole team, wouldn't you agree Furihata-san?" the green haired leopard says as he shifts his glasses up his nose.

The chatter in the room dies down and everyone looks at me expectantly. Someone please kill me now… "I'm s-sorry, I haven't had the chance to look at horoscopes today and when I do I only skim over Scorpio, so umm, I can't actually say anything…" I say as my voice grows softer and softer and an uncomfortable blush spreads over my cheeks.

My answer must have satisfied the Leopard because he turns back to the Tiger with an accusing look before he turns away completely and joins a different conversation.

I gulp down some more soda when a soft whisper reaches my right ear. "You don't really read that nonsense, do you?" the Lion asks in a low rumble that would have taken my legs out from under me if I had been standing.

"O- of course I read it," I whisper back to him. "I read it when I have nothing better to do. That doesn't mean I actually believe it!" I say as I turn my head slightly.

He had lent forward to ask me the question and his grip on my hair tightened slightly, but now his head was tossed back and he erupts with laughter that I wish to hear for the rest of my life. Everyone else looks at me again, as if I had achieved some great goal, when the pink haired woman stands and comes to flop down on the floor next to me.

She reminds me of a kitten and she asks me all sorts of questions.

For once in my life I'm happy to be the centre of attention…
