"This is really starting to annoy me."
Loke, known as Leo the lion to most, pushed his glasses up and sighed. "I have more important things to do then to listen to complaints about you Lussuria."
Lussuria pouted. "But I haven't done anything wrong!" She whined, pleading with red eyes that looked more attractive then scary. Her sharp but dainty face and complexion didn't help tone down her attraction.
Loke mumbled something, before groaning softly. "We don't know why you're doing it, but you're upsetting most of the females in relationships in the celestial world. I don't want to hear anymore of it."
Lussuria moved around her condo, biting her lip as she settled on a chair at the bar. She knew well enough it was no trying with the lion. He was too close to the celestial King, and he was a King in his own right, so he wouldn't switch. He thought more of his people then he did of himself, even though he started to turn into a playboy of late. But he seemed stress, if she could get him to talk about something important to know. Something to help start a war…
Lussuria fed off war, it made her stronger. She predicted if she started a war in the celestial world, she would grow so powerful, she could even defeat the celestial King, kill him, in fact, cast him down to the mortal world till he died. Then, she would be queen, queen of everyone. She wouldn't allow anyone she didn't want to leave the celestial world, she would break the gates and lock the annoying people away. Even the zodiacs would bow to her, she would make sure of it, starting with the cutie in her condo at the moment.
Calm down, she told herself, patience is key. Let's start with getting information first.
"You okay?" She asked, not letting herself say more. She was on thin ice, she didn't want to give anything away.
Loke groaned, he was hoping to get information out of Lussuria as well, but where Lussuria knew what he was doing Loke didn't know what she was doing. "Virgo and Libra haven't had a key owner in years, since their keys disappeared, theyre getting bored. Capricorn wants a new key owner, Aquarius is mad, since her owner isn't strong enough for her, Aires- "he chuckled slightly, and Lussuria took note of it. Any information she could use, she would remember. She was pretty sure the lion and ram shared an owner with the scropion. "Our key holder calls on her to much, since their child loves her, and she can't find a way to ask for more time off."
He said it all as of it didn't mean much, but to Lussuria, it meant a lot. If she helps Virgo and Libra, they might do something for her. Or if she gets a new key owner for Aquarius and Capricorn, that might help. The best plan she had was for the ram. She could tell her holder was nice, and if she threatened the child, she could probably get the ram, or lion, or scropion to do what she said.
Scropio…
That's it!
Although never caught cheating, he is the one of the three zodiac males who's shown physical attraction before. Taurus has, but that's different. Lussuria wouldn't be able to keep his attention long enough, and he's always gushing about the body his holder's wife has. Loke, of course, is an option, but, he's to close to the Celestial King.
Scropio just had a problem.
Aquarius.
They've been dating for a century now, known as the new hot couple. Since theyre the only zodiacs dating, the Celestial News is all over them. Aquarius wouldn't take any of it.
Why did she need to get closer to the zodiacs? Their control over the celestial world and it's inhabitants is huge. If some sided with her, the war would become a lot bigger.
"At least you don't have paperwork."
"That thing mortals have?" He scoffed, "Never. I'd rather stay out of an office."
"Same." She said, clicking her tounge. "I'd rather have human interaction."
"Any reason why?" He asked. Lussuria shoot him a look.
"I'm the 'bloodweaver constellation'. Spending time with others makes me feel better." Lie. Being by siblings makes her a little bit stronger, but when she can walk along the mortal world, along the war zone, where limbs and bodies littered the ground. Where she could take blood from one, and weave it into another's, that's when she's strong.
He nodded, before looking up. "I'm being summoned, I have to go. Don't bother anyone else anymore, this is your last warning."
He disappeared, and Lussuria ran to his dissingrating gate, catching it before it was gone. She looked through. The gate holder seemed pretty strong, all three of the spirits he held were out, Scropio and Loke were fighting, Aires was hugging a little girl, about three years, with short blonde hair.
Plan B, she decided, taking her attention off the ram. She looked at Scorpio, and licked her lips.
Plan A.
X.
Aquarius spent most of her time either underwater, or in a desert.
Very different, right?
Opposites do attract.
Whenever her and Scorpio went out for a date, or just to hangout with other friends, that's when she started to notice something. Something so small, it would be called paranoia.
Lussuria, who never talked to any zodiac, was talking to them.
Nothing more, but just talking was a warning bell in her head. She didn't like it.
She started to appear. She talked to Aquarius, but not as much as she talked to Scropio and her other friends. Mostly Scropio, though.
The last thing that swung her was when she came over, and Lussuria was at his house. She was just returning something she borrowed, but then they started talking. She had been there for over two hours.
Aquarius took a deep breath, and talked to her boyfriend in a different room. She was blunt. "Why is she being so nice? She's flirting you know. Why is she here? Why is she still here? I don't trust her. She's up to something." She said quickly.
Scropio sighed. "I know she's up to something, I'm not stupid. I just like brawns over brains." He flexed, and Aquarius kept her face straight. "Loke told me she was doing something. I'm leading her to see if she'll tell us something."
Aquarius knows some spirits are craving for war for some reason. Add that to Lussuria being weird, the two were connected. Just a few days ago, all the zodiacs were called to stop a fight that broke out between fifty spirits. It was an argument gone wrong, and it ended with blood soaking the grass. Aquarius couldn't believe they could be that stupid, and get hurt in the Celestial World, which kept you hurt for longer.
But, she had to say, seeing a group of five little plues attack Capricorn was funny.
She sighed. "Tell me anything she tells you."
Scropio kissed her forehead, "Course babe."
Aquarius kept herself in check. She went to the mortal world to learn what they knew about the Blood Weaver Constellation. Not much, but she found it interesting that many say it started to glow when a battle started. She told the Celestial King and Loke immediately.
"Small fights have been breaking out all over the Celestial World." The king murmured. "The one at the square was the biggest. Lussuria has been more bold."
"And flirtatious." Loke mumbled, scratching the back of his head. Aquarius kept her anger down. "She's with Scropio almost every day. She visits Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Capricorn at least once a week. She showed up at my house last night. Scropio says he's close to discovering her plan."
"He needs to hurry up." She grumbled, her pitcher sprouting a bit of water. "I think I'm connecting the dots. Blood Weaver doesn't mean family bonds."
"It means war." The king rumbled. "All the fighting, she's growing stronger."
"Why?"
"Clueless." Aquarius murmured. "Her key is black, it's almost never used. She's stuck up here, bored out of her mind. She wants war to entertain her, make her stronger. I can tell, it's like she's gotten a power up in the last few weeks. She'll make herself queen."
Loke snapped his fingers. "That little.." he cursed. "She's seducing anyone she can to join her side. If someone says something she doesn't like, she can send her army to start a battle, while we're dealing with it, she gets stronger as we get worn out."
"Innocent till proven guilty, I'm afraid." The king said.
"Scropio will figure it out. You said she's barely home now, I'll check around the place."
"Leo, tell the other ten about what we have found out. It's obvious who she's aiming for now." The king said, crossing his arms. Loke nodded, and the two constellations left.
x.
Aquarius was careful not to knock anything over as she went through Lussuria desk at her home. After finding out that she was at Scropios, she calmed her anger and went to her place.
So far, nothing out of the ordinary. Cookbooks and History Books and Math books…
Wait a second.
Aquarius opened the history book, and flipped pages to the last mortal war. Sure enough, a small piece of paper. She took and read it.
Long story short, it had all the evidence she needed. And some extra thoughts that she didn't need to read about Leo and since things about Scorpio that made her even more mad.
Aquarius left the house, rage burning, before going to Scropio's.
She slammed the door open, and screamed.
Lussuria was a second to late, she waited to long. Aquarius had looked inside, right before she kissed him. Probably a trick to get her fighting him. But Aquarius saw.
She broke.
Screaming, she brought her pitcher full force onto Lussuria's head. The black key spirit crumpled on to Scropio, who wiped his mouth and smirked. "Thanks babe. You're hot when your angry."
Aquarius blushed, but still glared at the spirit. "Thank you, did Leo tell you?"
"You were the only one who didn't show up to the meeting." Scropio said, hugging his girlfriend, who melted in his embrace. "Aires, Capricorn, and Cancer were livid. Virgo simply got up and left."
"Ah well, can you carry the bitch? We need a meeting with the King."
Scropio bent down and picked up Lussuria. The king's place was empty. He was sitting down, at normal human size.
"Ah, look at this. I feel like I should call the others." He pressed a button, before looking back. "What did you find?"
Aquarius handed him the paper. He took it, and started reading, when Virgo popped up from a hole with Libra and Aires. Capricorn and Leo walked in, in argument. Sagittarius came with Pisces. Two Cancer walked in, trying to fix the hair on top of Taurus head.
They all stopped and looked at the unconscious Lussuria, who was starting to awake.
"Well." The King rumbled. "This proves guilty, good job Aquarius."
Aquarius smirked as Lussuria groaned. "Huh? Guilty?"
"Yes, Lussuria." The King roared. "For planning treason and war among the Celestials, you are hereby banned from the Aura part of the spirit world. Leave and never return."
"What?" She cried. "I never did that? Where your proof?"
"Aquarius found something that proves you guilty. Leave." The King shouted. Lussuria cried in anger.
So close! She thought. Her anger molded into seething rage, and without thinking, she lunged at the water bearer.
To be stopped by a wall of sand.
"Stay away from my sugar moma." Scropio growled. In an instant, Lussuria understood.
"Y-you, tricked me! I'll get you for this!" She yelled, before disappearing, leaving the Aura Spirit world.
"I'm gonna miss her body." Taurus moo'd
