"Shunrei! Master!"you shriek with joy and embrace them both the second you saw them. Nearly knocking them over. Dohko chuckles at your joyful enthusiasm.

"You have gotten much bigger, May."

You giggle bashfully."You are very funny, Master. Oh! Look whom nii-san and I have brought back from our stay in Tokyo."You turn around to the others walking up."We have brought his friends. Even Shun-chan came back. They have all come to see our home."You tell them elated.

"May-chan was kind enough to invite us."Shun tells them, coming to your side. Looking at you smiling."We couldn't pass her up."

You smile back."I hope it is alright for them to stay?"You plead to Shunrei and Dohko, hoping it was."I promise to feed them."

"Geez, she's making us sound like pets."Seiya said to Hyoga who chuckles.

"They are more then welcome to stay."Shunrei said."As long as you help me get their sleeping arrangements ready."

Clasping your hands together happy."Yes. I shall."You turn around to the guys."You all may stay. I'm so happy. Nii-san, they can stay!"You throw yourself on Shiryu laughing with joy. He gives you a hug.

"So I see. But you need to go with Shunrei and get everything set up."he tells you."I will keep our guest company."

Letting him go understanding, turn to Shunrei the two of you collect the others bags and go get everything ready. Telling the guys you would see them later and telling Shiryu not to show them too much. They watch you leave happily chatting away with Shuneri.

"Is there nothing in this world that can't dim her?"Hyoga said smirking. Looking to Shiryu.

"Honestly. I don't think there really is."he tells his friend."Master."He turns his attention to Dohko."We have to talk to with you."

Inside the house you and Shuneri where busy with getting everything ready. Just to be sure, she goes and checks to make sure you where making the room for the guys.

"May? May what are you doi-"she steps into the room.

With Shiryu and the others held a brief meeting with Dohko by the waterfalls. Informing the elderly man."I see..."Dohko laments from what the Saints told him."It seems there has yet to be a move by this new adversary."

"Move?"Seiya repeats."How could they make a move? We haven't come across anything."

"He's right master."Shiryu agrees with his friend."Though we believe Saori's concerns, we didn't come across anything. There was no irregular Cosmos to be detected."

"Even so, you still seem doubtful.."Dhoko points out."This should tell you, the enemy is hiding and clearly Athena is unsettled for a reason."

Shiryu thinks on his Master's words. "But, we just can't sense their Cosmos. If this enemy is out there, then we should have come across them by now."Hyoga said."There is no way they can be that elusive."

"This enemy you're dealing with clearly is not like the others."Dohko said. Could it really be them? After all so long? He thinks deeply. On that night, he felt Athena's Cosmos panic. She felt it, he wondered if maybe. On that night of the shooting star. Astra...I thought you managed...

"I know that voice..."a big cheeky smile spreads across her lips greeting the Golden Saint."Dohko!" Her arms spread open wide and jump upon the Golden Saint. Embracing him tightly.

So affectionate, that she was. Astra. Even now as a young lady. She hadn't changed since he first found her and brought her here."Astra."He hugs her back. Smiling.

"Dohko, where have you been!"She squeals, nearly choking him. While whining"It's been so boring here without you!"

"Lady Astra, please contain yourself."he chastise her."You know I only went to see over the training. Just for an hour. Clearly my absence wasn't that long. What did you do? Surely you and Athena spent time together."

She huffs releasing him. Puffing out her cheeks."She was busy! And I got kicked out by Taurus again!"She folds her arms."He can be quite upsetting."

"Did you transmute his temple again?"

She looks away innocently."...It was boring. I wouldn't say...I would I just redecorated. Besides, he could use something lovely."

He just looks at you, shaking his head."Lady Astra, you know well you shouldn't do that."

She throws up her hands frustrated."Well!? What was I suppose to to do!? There wasn't really much for me to do! Staying in the Sanctuary is quite boring. Grrrr...everyone here is just..."

He understood."Lady Astra..."he said softly. Her scowl didn't go away. Even when he put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Trying to get her to smile. It didn't work."Astra..."

She takes her shoulder back."It's alright. It doesn't matter."She said upset masking her pain. And walks away alone. He watches her, seeing the same little girl years before walk away feeling the same.

Alone.

"Astra..."

"Master."Shiryu calls to Dohko."Master? Are you alright?"

Hearing his students voice, the old man comes back. Finding the saints looking at him, though Shiryu had more concern."Who's Astra?"Shun asked.

Dohko looks at him surprised and shocked he knew the name."You said that name."Shiryu tells his master."Who is Astra? Is it the one Athena sensed?"

The old man could see they wanted to know, and only he had the answer. He opens his mouth, to shut it."Master! Shiryu!"A panic Shuneri yells to them, running over. Everyone turns to her. Panting nearly out of breath, her eyes wide and scared. Told them something horrible happened. Her eyes land on Shiryu. Who goes to her quickly.

"Shuneri? What is it?"he asked.

She tries to catches her breath, looking back behind her in state of hysteria,then back to him."I-It's...May."

Everyone races back to the house, Shiryu in the lead. Like the wind he speed through the path and trees back. In a single breath he was there, no one had seen him run so fast before. He waste no time bursting the door open and yells.

"May! May!"he heard no response and rushes in, seconds the others come in following him. Racing to your room, finding you in bed. You looked ill and in pain. He slowly walks over to you. The others stop at the door.

"She's ill."Shun said confused and sad."She was just fine not to long ago."

Hyoga hushes him. So they would not disturb you or hear Shiryu say something. Watching their friend go over to his sister, placing a hand upon her forehead, then to her cheek. And listen closely to her breathing. You where wheezing, struggling to breath. Your chest rose rapidly.

"Excuse me."Shuneri says to Seiya and others who move for her to get through and Dohko. The old man stays by them, while Shuneri goes by Shiryu's side and tells him about how you came to this condition."We where getting everything ready,"she starts."She went to get fresh linen and set up the mats, I went to check up on her to see if she didn't wonder off, and when I came in to see...She suddenly came down with this infliction and fainted. She's been burning up since. I gave her a wet cloth but it's not bringing down her temperature."She looks down at you deeply worried."...I don't know what's wrong. Shiryu."Looking to him.

He seemed at a lost, she wasn't sure if he heard everything. But he did. He pulls your covers over you a little more and takes the cloth you had on your forehead off, damping it, then puts it back on.

"I apologize,"he tells his friends."May won't be able to-"

"It's alright."Shun stops him. Understanding."There's nothing to apologize for."He looks to you.

"We would rather her rest and get her strength back."Hyoga tells him. Walking into the room, the others follow."There's always another time."

They look at you, struggling to breath. Shuttering and shivering, Seiya closes the window to block out the cold, Shun asked Shuneri if there where any more blankets for you and goes to get them. Hyoga summons up just a bit of his Cosmos and places a hand over you, to help cool you off. It seem to slightly be working. He takes a sit on the bed carefully.

"Thank you."Shiryu tells them. Still looking at you, trying to figure out how this infliction suddenly came. Just not to long ago, you where up and full of spirit. Eager to show the others everything. Talking non-stop of all the things you had for them. The wonderful meal you where going to make for them with Shuneri. Then give them a tour around the mountains, then to the market. Show them all your favorite spots. Have them mediate with you and himself. You had it all planned out and just couldn't wait.

He puts to fingers to your throat to check for pulse, Shun come back with extra blankets. Hyoga moves to allow him to put them on you."Maybe some tea will help her?"Seiya suggest.

Shuneri agrees."Yes. I'll make her some."She hurries off, though looks back at you for a second then leaves.

The sun set, Shuneri came to tend back to you after making dinner for the others. You still hadn't woken up yet. Shivering and whizzing. She came with soup for you, but you clearly weren't in any condition to eat. So she set it down, and re-wets your cloth.

With the others eating dinner. Dohko barely touched his food, thinking of your condition...It's just like...He thought.

In a disclosed location, shadows and darkness gathered as sinful souls of those lost. Dressed for the night life, smiling and laughing. Ready for the newest club scene. Eyes look up excited. Reading the sign.

Wayward Sister's Chamber.

Callous and malevolent watch people enter. Smiling with delight of the souls soon to belong to them. Such a waste humans indulged in.
