Darkness Silver Lightning
Part 17
Lady Neycoma

Juno set the receiver down right when Alex entered their room. She had a
strange feeling to call the man she called. The numbers just popped in her
head. She smiled at Alex as he looked at her. "School starts today." She
whispered.

Alex chuckled as he moved to the desk next to Juno. He grabbed a slip of
paper. "You still want to go?" He asked her.

"It doesn't matter to me." She shrugged.

"If you want to we can go but we'll be a little late though." He handed his
hand to her. Juno smiled and took his offer. "I don't mind."

Rei sighed annoyed; she and the girls have been waiting for the guys for
fifteen minutes now. They were supposed to meet the guys here early before
school so they could go in together but they are running late. "Where are
they?"

"Oh Rei." Kourin whispered as she ran her hands through her hair.

"Patience a virtue." Seanko said as she grinned at the Rei who just rolled
her eyes. Yaten giggled.

"Well, they better get here soon or---"

"Or what?" Someone said.

All the girls looked behind them and saw the guys. Heero was the one who had
spoke. Rei walked over to him, pointing her right index finger at his face as
she moved closer to him. "And where were you?"

Heero grabbed her finger and moved his face closer to her. "Home." He
whispered before he backed away. Yaten, Duo, and Wufie snickered while the
others grinned.

Ayako looked around and noticed that someone was missing. "Where's Trowa?"

All the guys quieted down when the question sunk in. They remembered when
Trowa received the phone call he looked so devastated it pained them to look
at him. He had laid downed the couch recklessly as he spoke. "You guys go."

"Seiya?" Taiki asked.

"He's not coming." Seiya whispered.

"Wh--what happened?" Seanko asked almost afraid to know.

"We got a phone call and he was the one to answer it." Duo started.

"The next thing we know is he calling Mako's name, before he slammed the
receiver down." Quatre whispered. "We think it was really Mako that called
but we're not sure."

"Mako." Ayako whispered as she hugged herself. "We came here to protect our
princess but in the end we failed. She's gone and we don't know where she is
or what Alex has done to her. We failed in protecting her----"

Wufei frowned at his girlfriend. "Don't say that." He harshly whispered. All
attention was at him except for Ayako who was looking down.

"I---I" Ayako stumbled with her words.

"The battle is not over yet. We can still get Mako back and get Alex for
everything he did to both our prince and princess." Wufei walked up to Ayako
and lifted her head so she could see him. "So until the battle's over don't
you dare say we failed."

Ayako stared at him for a while before she nodded. Before she or anyone could
say something the school bell rang and they jumped surprised. "Come on lets
go." Duo whispered. They all turned to walk to their school but they
immediately stopped when they saw something shocking to them.

Makoto stood in school uniform in front of the door. She was looking up at
the school. Her hair was no longer in a ponytail and it unraveled all the way
to her lower back. Yaten and Kourin moved up, they wanted to run to her but
Duo stopped them.

"Mako!" They heard a familiar and dislikeful voice. They looked at the door
to the school and found Alex. Mako smiled and walked over to him in a fast
pace. "Alex!" She took his hand he offered and led her inside the school.

Seiya's fists were all tight. "What's going on? That wasn't Mako."

Taiki nodded. "She didn't act like the Mako we know. She would never run to
him. He definitely did something to her."

"I'm just glad Trowa wasn't here to see this." Rei spoke. She was so angry.
She calmed down when Heero hugged her from the back. She leaned on him more.

Duo started to walk away and the others followed. The guys minus Seiya all
took their seats while the girls and Seiya went to Ms. Terrell the teacher.
Alex watched from his seat in the back as all the warriors where here. He
grinned when he noticed Trowa was absent. Juno who was seated next to him
looked confused at the amusement on Alex's face. She had traded her seat with
one of the girls who sat next to him. "Alex, what's so funny?"

"Huh?" Alex snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Juno calling him. He
smiled at her. "Its nothing."

Juno rolled her eyes. "You are so weird."

"Oh really?" Alex asked with an eyebrow up.

Juno giggled. "Yup."

Alex who caught Duo looking at them surprised Juno and Duo with a kiss. Juno
kissed Alex back while Duo closed his eyes and turned way. Alex grinned in
the kiss he broke it and looked at Juno. "Is that weird enough?"

"Nope."

"Class, listen up." Ms Terrell said gathering attention to her. "We have
seven new students that are joining this class. Please introduce yourselves."

Seanko stepped forward. "I'm known as Seanko."

"Seiya."

"Kourin."

"Yaten."

"Ayako."

"Rei."

"And I'm Taiki"

"Please take your sit where ever you wish." Ms. Terrell spoke.

"Thank you." Kourin said for all of them.

Seanko sat in front of Duo, Ayako next to Wufie, Kourin diagonal from Quatre,
and Rei sat behind Heero. StarLights sat next to Juno. Taiki by her side,
Yaten behind her and Seiya in front of her. Seiya turned around and smiled at
Juno. "Hello." He said.

Juno smiled at him. "Hey."

Seiya looked at Alex who was glaring at him, Seiya gave him a warning glare
that Juno failed to see and turned back to listen to the teacher. Alex looked
at Yaten and Taiki who also gave him warning glares before turning their
attention to the teacher. He wonders why they were giving him glares. He
thought Juno's guardians would be doing that but they refuse to look their
way. He didn't think people he didn't know would be giving him looks.
Suddenly it hit him; the three were the three female warriors that helped
them out the StarLights. Three of Juno's close friends.

Juno felt funny around the three of them. She felt as if she knew them
already and the feeling didn't leave her.

"Class you are very lucky, you get to have your first pop quiz." Ms. Terrell
announced. "Let's see what you remember. The seven new students are excused
from this test---"

"Ms. Terrell, I think we can take the quiz too." Seanko said with a smile
that said we can pass any test you give us. "So you can know where we stand."
All her girlfriends and Starlights had a slight grin while the rest of the
class and teacher looked stunned. They actually wanted to take a test. "If
it's ok with you of course."

"Seanko what are you doing?" Duo asked.

"Trying to prove a point."

"Oh---" Duo started but stopped when it sunk in. 'What point?' He asked
himself incredulously.

"It's fine with me. Okay everyone get out a pen. You have 30 min." The
teacher said as she passed the tests.

The girls and Starlights finished ten min. first, before the guys and the
class. Duo grinned at Seanko and the others. "It was too hard for you guys
huh?" He asked.

"Hmph, we'll see." Was all that Rei said while the others kept quiet.

"Class get out your English books and turned to page 324. Read the Story in
there while I correct the test. You will be discussing it during class so you
better read it." The teacher said as she sat on her desk after collecting all
the tests.

~*~

"I can't believe you girls and you Seiya got a perfect score on the test!"
Duo complained. "It's your first time in that school or any school and you
got a perfect score."

They were eating lunch under a large tree scattered around. Suddenly
somebody's shadow blocked the light. They looked up and saw Juno. She looked
at them as if trying to clear something up. "Hey, do you mind if I wait here
under the tree? The sun it killing me."

"Sure." Ayako smiled brightly at her. "M---um I'm Ayako."

"Juno." She smiled at them. "You guys are the new student right?" She asked
the girls and Seiya. They all nodded.

"By the way," Heero whispered. "Whom are you waiting for?"

Before Juno could say anything Alex came over and the air around all of them
tensed. "Ju let's go." Alex said.

"But---"

"Juno." He looked down at her. She sighed as she stood up and wiped the grass
off of her. "Fine." She smiled back at the group on the ground. "Hope we meet
again."

'Not if I can help it.' Alex thought.

"Us too, Juno." Seiya said.

Suddenly another shadow appeared and they looked up and back to see Trowa.
"You came." Duo said as he stood up.

"Yeah, it got boring." He looked at them and moved his gaze to Alex and Juno.
Juno looked at him and frowned. Something about him felt familiar. "Do---do I
know you?" She asked.

They all looked at her surprised.

"Ju of course you don't know him, you never saw him before. Let's go." He
turned to leave as he held Juno's hand. As they were about to leave Trowa
quickly reached for Juno's hand. He grabbed it and turned her around. "Yes
you do know me." He whispered before he let her go. He looked at Alex and
grinned. "I'll win." He whispered. He turned to his friends. "What did I
miss?"

"A test." Wufei said.

Trowa nodded and walked away towards his class to make up the test.

Alex who was fuming forgot that he was holding Juno's hand and squeezed it
hard. Juno cried out as she broke away from his hold. "Damn it Alex." She
swore as she cradle her hand. She walked away angry with him. Alex watched as
Juno walked away from him.

"That's exactly what's going to happen in the end Alexander." Rei sneered at
him. She watched as Alex turned around. "She will walk away from you. She
doesn't belong to you, not now and not ever. You will lose and we will see to
it."

Alex grinned. "We'll see about that. She doesn't remember any of you, and she
will never remember. With the help of this." He took out a small bottle that
was half filled with liquid. "This is poison. It takes over the mind and is
unbreakable. The more she uses this the more it becomes harder to break. She
is mine and will be mine for a long time."

"That's how pathetic you are." Yaten growled. "You need a drug to get a woman
that doesn't want you. Mako is the strongest woman I know and you're playing
with fire. She will break out of it and when she does you're in big shit."
Yaten walked over to him and spat on his face. "You're lower than a rat."
With that she walked away.

"That says it all." Duo whispered and walked away towards Yaten. The others
followed.

Alex wiped his face with his sleeve and looked back at them. "We'll see about
that." He walked away to find Juno.
