"Wow, the clothing here is really high-class and the most fashionable." Said Sage running his hand through the fabric of a tuxedo. "Not to mention expensive." said Cye, eyes going wide after glancing at one of the price tags. "How are we ever going to…Oof!" just then a lady crashed straight into him and sent him crashing into the ground. She was holding a clipboard in front of her face so she obviously wasn't watching where she was going. Ryo noted that she had long dark hair braided into a braid that passed her hips. "Sorry" she muttered quickly, as if in a hurry and continued walking while taking a pen behind her ear and wrote furiously onto her clipboard. "How rude!" said the hotheaded Kento as Sage helped Cye up. Before anyone could stop him he went up to the lady and grabbed her roughly on the shoulders and turned her around. "Yes?" she said irritably not taking her eyes of the clipboard. "I think you owe my friend an apology." He said angrily. By that time all the employees and customers were staring in disbelief at them. Cye had turned a bright shade of pink from all this attention of everyone and the other 3 were looking angrily at the longhaired rude girl. "I said I was sorry!" she said exasperated still not taking her eyes from her clipboard. Ryo was getting pretty fed up with her attitude and ripped her clipboard out of her hands. "Ms. I'm getting very sick of your attitude towards…" but he stopped in surprise, as did the rest of them and the girl as they stared at each other in disbelief. Rowen couldn't believe his eyes, before him was Setsuna, who looked as shocked as the others did. "What are you doing here?" Ryo asked in disbelief. "Lets talk about this outside." Said Setsuna quietly noting all their spectators. They all followed her out the door and onto the large field that was behind the store. "So, what are you doing here?" asked Ryo repeating the question. Setsuna looked at them in disbelief, "What do you mean by that? I live in this town." "I think what Ryo meant was that what are you working here as, a cashier, a saleswoman…" "A person who likes crashing into people." Kento finished for Cye glaring at Setsuna. She bowed to Cye, "My most sincere apologizes Cye. I was kind of under a lot of pressure for Anubis told me that I was to design 5 of the best suits and have them made ready in 2 hours for some friends, which…" she said glancing at them, "…are you 5 he was obviously talking about." "You don't mean, you own this store?" asked Sage in disbelief. She smiled roguishly "Why didn't you tell us before?!" asked Sage exasperated. She grinned, "Hey, the subject never came up, and besides you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you if I was a first class clothing designer." She laughed at the looks on the other's faces "I'd have thought some of you would have recognized the name of the store." Rowen nodded in recognition, "So those doors that was painted into the wall was a painting of the Time Gates I presume?" he asked. At the mention of that, Setsuna's face turned grim. "You're partly correct Rowen, those doors you saw was the Time Gates, but not a painting. They are the actual thing." At the look of confusion covering the faces of the 5 she continued, "We've been getting many attacks from Elia and her minions recently, the outer senshi and I have been hard pressed. That's why I've put a link of the Time Gates into the wall, that way if anyone dares try enter the Time Gates, we the Outer Senshi will be ready to defend it." "I see." Said Sage grimly. "What I'm afraid of most is…" Setsuna stopped all of a sudden and stared past the 5. "What's the matter Setsuna?" asked Ryo in concern. She didn't answer instead whispered quietly "Pluto Crystal Power!" She was instantly transformed into the Warrior of Time. "I've never encountered you before Mistress 9 but of what Haruka and Michiru have told me, you shall not live this time!" she said angrily. The 5 guys turned to the direction of which she was yelling at. There stood Hotaru (or Mistress 9). "Stop!" yelled Anubis as he ran in between Pluto and Hotaru. "Setsuna this is Hotaru!" "Ofcorse I know its Hotaru, she is possessed" said Pluto. "No, it's really me Setsuna. You don't know about this because you were away fighting at the Time Gates. We were desperate so Haruka and Michiru poured some of their energy into me so I was able to transform and grow rapidly by 4 years. In this way, with my increase in power we will finally have a chance to beat Elia." Pleaded Hotaru. "When did this all happen?" asked Pluto in disbelief. "This morning. Please believe me Setsuna, it's really me." After a moment's pause, Pluto nodded. She relaxed and de-transformed.
A while after, after everything was understood, the 5 guys all carried in their arms a tuxedo. They all thanked Setsuna (hey, she let them have it for free!) and got into a taxi that she had hailed. "Bye, I'll see you all at tonight's concert!" she said waving at them. After a 5min. ride they arrived at a hotel, the taxicab stopped and the 5 guys got out. Anubis handed them all a key, "You're room number is 102 and I will be here to pick you all up at around 12 p.m. this afternoon sharp, make sure that you're ready by then." He nodded at them then closed the door then the taxi drove off.
