Hitachi collapsed on one of the two double beds, exhausted. She fell asleep pretty quickly and didnt notice, or seem to care at that, that Alissa was absent. She was snoring softly and slipping into dreamland by the time she might have thought of it if she were awake. Her crystal around her neck began to glow slightly, but the glow vanished awfully quickly.
Amara and Michelle watched the setting sun, "How tranquil and beautiful." Michelle breathed as she leaned on Amara. Amara smiled slightly and watched it go down too. The thoughts that she had been trying to shove to the back of her head were trying to re-surface though. She frowned and remembered that they were supposed to be watching the two chibi scouts, but also they were supposed to halt the stealing of power crystals, the whole reason in the first place that they had come, meaning Alissa and Hitachi. It was a little odd that they got together so rottenly, but then they were sometimes best frineds. She shook the thoughts back and became aware that Michelle was saying something.
"Amara? amara? Amara?! Amara! Answer me! R you ok?!" came Michelle's worried voice piercing through her cloud of thoughts, "Uhh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking." she said bringing herself back to earth, "You really have me worried lately, you dont seem to be yourself at all." Michelle looked at her worriedly, " I dont want anything to happen to you." she said wiyth a sympathetic smile.
Alissa was buying some saltwater taffy. She made her purchase and went out the front door, instead of just going by way of the halls. She walked across the darkneing parking lot and sat at a bench, overlooking the shuffleboard court. She remembered how earlier she had taught Hitachi how to play. At this thought she smiled, but it melted to a frown when she remembered Hitachi slapping her when she had been laughing. A grim look overcame her face and she got up quickly, nearly spilling the taffy and started back to the room.
Hitachi's eyes slowly opened and she rolled over to look at the clock. "9:06pm ...." she read and yawned, "Alissa should be here, but of well. She can take care of herself." she said the last part with little care. She got up and pulled on some shoes. She wrote a hasty note, although she didnt really want to and opened the door that led to the beach. She stepped out into the cool night air and took a deep breath. She went right down and parked herself about 10 feet from the water and sat there, looking at the Moon and a lighthouse, as if in a trance.
Michelle suddenley stiffened up, "Michelle, is anything the matter?" Amara asked a bit too lightly, "No, it isnt, I just need your power crystal." she turned and gave Amara an evil grin and her voice was that not of her own. Amara stood up, a little shocked and not quite sure of what to do, when Michelle's arm came slamming across her face, knocking her down the dune, the wrong way, towards a fence and not down into the volleyball court. She hit her head on the fence and rubbed her head slightly, opening her eyes only to see that Michelle was pratically on top of her---- or whatever had taken Michelle's place.
"Give me your crystal!" she said in a shrill voice, reaching down and suing some form of energy to cause her power crystal to form. Amara gritted her teeth to keep from yelling, "Michelle! I know you wouldnt be gone yet! Look at yourself! Your taking your own partners power crystal!" she tried to be rational, although she was finding it increasingly hard, since her energy was beginning to be affected.
