DISCLAIMER- I OWN ONLY THE CHARACTER OF CASSIOPEIA, UNLESS SOMEONE HAS USED THIS AND I'M UNAWARE OF IT, THAT IT. Which I doubt.
Apparently, the pics I tried to put up didn't come thru. Ask for my photo-bucket account to see them.
Misora and Subaru tended to the wounds of the AMians that fought had gotten.
"At least it could have been worse. They could have killed us." Misora said, her wounds still not having been treated.
"You need to have yours treated Misora-san." Lynx said out of concern.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just I'd feel better if a girl treated them, you know what I mean?" she said, a bit uneasy about a boy fixing her wounds. She trusted Subaru, but she also trusted him not to look so he couldn't tend to her properly.
"Nadeshiko-san seemed nice. We could ask her." Capricornus said as Subaru finished with him. "She seems the only one of the sisters we can trust at the moment, even if she is one of Cassie's sisters."
As if on cue, a knock came at the door. It was Nadeshiko. "I thought I'd bring you something, Hoshikawa-senpai." she said, handing what looked like some bentos. "I would like to be friends with you and Hibiki-senpai."
"Come on in. We need your help with something. Can you go help Misora while I set these out?" he asked moving the bentos to the table.
Nadeshiko walked up to where Misora was upstairs and saw her wounds. She didn't acted surprised, for some reason. "When Cassie told Tomoyo and Sakura to take care of you, I thought she meant to do you in." she said starting on Misora's wounds.
"They tried to, but somehow I was saved by Rockman." Misora said holding out an arm to be wrapped.
"Rockman?" she said stopping. "A while back, I was saved by Rockman. I was walking to our grandparents home in Echo Ridge, when I was attacked. I was about to thank him, when this girl with a weird hair-do came up yelling 'Rockman-sama' and he disappeared." She went back to work on Misora.
The moment she finished, Hydra knocked on the door. "Tennyo-san, are you staying for supper?"
"Sure, if Hibiki-senpai thinks it's okay." Nadeshiko said looking to Misora.
"I'm all for it. We'll be down in a minute." Misora said fixing her shirt.
"Thanks, Hibiki-senpai." she nearly yelled in joy.
"Just call me 'Misora'. Okay? I may not like your sister, but I do like the fact you want to be friends." she said leaving the room.
Everyone was downstairs eating the bentos Nadeshiko had brought. Cerberus spoke up from the silence. "Tell us, why is it your sisters seem so awful and yet you're very kind?"
Misora than remembered the face Nadeshiko made while tending to her. "And when you were helping me, you didn't seem surprised to see me hurt."
"Well...how should I put this?" she said. "I guess because they were and always have been spoiled since birth. Since I was always in and out of hospitals, I never got to be spoiled. I'd come down with strange illnesses almost on a weekly basis and I guess I was emotionally abandoned by my father. Cassie is Papa's favorite and my sisters are our family's hope for fame."
"How so?" Capricornus said with a full mouth.
"Cassie is pretty, talented, and almost perfect in every way. They need her to be an actress or singer. Tomoyo and Sakura are smart, so they need to be scientists. Nami is responsible, so she'll take over the school. The twins are exercise nuts, so they'll be personal trainers for celebrities."
"Where does that leave you?" Subaru asked.
"To do what I want. Cassie is the only one in the family who doesn't know this, but I have a brother who is very protective of me, but I haven't seen him in 4 years. I want to go to live with him and help him with whatever dreams he has. He used to say 'I'll be a king' and so on when we were tiny."
"He sounds nice. Just like you." Misora smiled.
"We're twins, but Papa sees young boys as destructive and irresponsible. He did everything but disowned him." Nadeshiko said sadly. "So, I want to be a family with him again. Even though Papa wants nothing to do with him, I do."
"What's his name?" Lynx asked becoming interested.
"His name was so long and difficult to spell or pronounce, I just called him 'Onii-san'."
"Okay. Sounds like a decent childhood." Aquila said, eating calmly.
"It's getting late. You should go home soon." Subaru said getting up.
"That would be best. Good bye." she waved off and left.
After getting up to leave the butler to clean, they headed off to Subaru's room.
He and Misora took out their Star Carriers to let War-Rock and Harp out.
"Finally, it was starting to get cramped in there." Harp said stretching, War-Rock doing the same.
"Now that she's gone. We need to discuss a battle plan in case we get ambushed again." Cerberus said sitting closest to War-Rock. "My King, it seems we can rule out Sakura and Tomoyo as possible choices for Cassiopeia, since their Denpa Henkan just proved they work for her but neither is her."
"That leaves Kana, Hana, Nami, and, of course, Cassie." Sceptrum knelt down. "Nadeshiko pointed out a bit ago about having a brother that no one else knows of. Cassiopeia had Cepheus as a brother, so it's likely she works for them and maybe trying to cover it."
"But she said she was always sick so she'd be too weak to Denpa Henkan. She might unknowingly be working for them, but I agree we should be some what suspicious of her." Lynx laid back against the wall.
Harp looked around and joined the conversation. "Cassiopeia has 5 guards. We've seen her weaker guards, Virgo and Lacerta. Her other guards are Phoenix, Aquarius, and Vulpecula. I was drafted to be one of her guards as well, but Vulpecula had beaten me out of the chance. She is the most powerful."
"And since there are 7 sisters..." War-Rock said. "then only one of them is a plain human. If we can battle the other guards, we narrow it down to only two sisters."
"Then we have to narrow it down right after that and stop Cassiopeia's plan and return you to Planet AM quickly as we can. If we can do that, Cassiopeia will have to return to FM and you can return here, War-Rock-sama." Hydrus lying on his stomach with his head resting in his hands. "Her host will be set free and she won't be able to return."
"True. Cepheus-sama hardly ever let her out of his sight. She won't be able to leave once she returns." Harp floated to the window, looking outside. "I can't help but feel we're being watched."
"If that is so...then we must be very careful when planning." Cerberus got up. "We'll keep guard tonight. Rest easy, my King." he bowed out and the others followed.
"Subaru, I realized, you haven't had that cut to your arm tended to." Misora pointed out when she noticed a cut 6 inches long going down his arm.
"It's okay. It just stings a bit when I touch it, like I did just a bit ago." Subaru tried to convince her to leave it be, since the chances of her being the one to tend to it were 99%.
"It least let me wrap it before it get's infected." She already had the first aid kit. War-Rock and Harp ditched them. Leaving them alone, blushing heavily.
He gave in, taking off his shirt so she could tend to it. The blush on Misora's face deepen, if that was even possible. All that Virus Busting had toned him up more than she thought. He was slightly muscled, but not grossly over toned. She focus all her mind in his injury and tending to it.
Not a word was spoken as Misora disinfected and wrapped his arm. 'At least it wasn't deep, but it might leave a light scar.' she thought.
'I would have felt better if one of the AMians did this. At least then I wouldn't be so embarassed. What am I thinking? She's my best friend and I trust her.' Subaru mentally fought himself to keep from staring at her. Her hair had grown longer and she developed nicely into a young woman.
"There, at least it wasn't as bad as it looked." Misora sighed as she got up to leave. "I better get to bed. Night, Subaru."
"Night, Misora." he half mumbled as she closed the door. Looking down at his arm that had been tended to, he smiled. 'Who would have thought? Here I say I'm too busy for a relationship and yet, I think I'm starting to fall in love with my best friend.'
Hope you're liking the story so far. Yes, Nadeshiko could possibly be Cassiopeia or one of her guards, or just a plain human. Which do you think?
