The silverware
clattering against the bowls were the only sounds that could be
heard as the group ate their breakfast silently. Pikachu was
slowly awaking, becoming aware of the somber silence that hung
heavily in the atmosphere, preventing the others from
speaking. Not even the morning people were morning people
today. The electric mouse stretched thoroughly and, not
wanting to disturb them, quietly pulled a stool to the counter,
climbed up and began to fix itself a bowl of rice which was their
breakfast.
Mina carefully
began making her ways towards Sage. She was not used to
dealing with shy guys and Sage had a tendency to be shy at
times. The Ronin eyed her warily through his covered
eye, Is it just me or
is she actually coming closer? He shrugged
off the uncomfortable feeling and continued eating.
Mina glanced
quickly at Lita who sat on the other side of Sage. Lita stared
at her fellow Senshi and was suddenly mesmerized by her bowl of
rice. When they first met, they were both extreme admirers of
the blonde samurai, however Jupiter recently decided to stay single
and not go after any guys for a long time. Venus would have no
competition in getting Sage...
This time he could
not shake off the uncomfortable feeling. Pikachu purposely got
between Sage and Mina in order to get the bottle of ketchup that was
left out on the table from last night's dinner. Ami let out a
yawn, revealing how much little sleep she got while working on the
portal. Two or three hours maybe? Everyone stared at her
expectantly, wondering if she was going to fall asleep where she
sat.
"Ami, you know
this portal can wait for a little bit," Lita broke the
silence. "You should relax. Have fun and don't get so
stressed out working late. Take a day off."
The intelligent
Senshi made a slight moaning sound, reminding herself to think about
what Lita said later when she was more awake as she lifted a
spoonful of rice to her mouth. Mina listened carefully, trying
to think about how she can get Sage on a date as quickly as she
can. He only wanted to be here for a week or two and no one
had envied Mina in awhile.
"We're in a war
and the only thing you can think of is fun?" Sekhmet
spat.
"Hello?" Lita
mocked, "This is breakfast! We're not fighting or
anything! We're eating! There's no war going
on."
"This food is
merely providing us with the energy for our next
battle."
Mina couldn't help
but ask, "Are battles the only thing you can think
about?"
"Yes." was
Sekhmet's modest reply.
"Ew, gross!"
Serena cried out, looking at the bowl Pikachu was
using.
Raye looked at
Pikachu and joked, "Want some rice with that ketchup?"
"Anyway," Sekhmet
said to Lita, "If we do take a break from our duties, that will be
the time the Dynasty and cult will most likely attack because that
will be the time that we are weak and vulnerable."
"Can I still go
shopping?" Serena asked. "Cause I really need some new
clothes and I was planning on shopping when Ami was busy with the
portal..."
Dais thought about
it, "More than likely you would be attacked if you do that,
otherwise everything should be fine."
Durog knelt before
the queen.
"Have you
communicated to the Messiah about my plans?" she asked.
"Yes. Given
our current situation, He understand your need to become stronger,
however, he doubts my ability to lead in your temporary
absence."
"I can understand
that, considering we went against his wishes and that raising an
army was your idea in the first place. You will do fine for a
leader."
Mina walked
outside furious, but happy that there weren't anymore dishes to wash
and began looking for Sage. She had no idea why Lita and Raye
decided to force her to do the dishes
and that little Pikachu put its filthy paws all over the dishes as
soon as she finished washing them, forcing her to clean the dishes
again. It was almost as though they were trying to prevent her
from searching for Sage...
The blonde Senshi
found him and gave a short little pout. He was meditating
again. Didn't he
meditate yesterday and the day before? With a small sigh of
defeat, she leaned against a short nearby tree and went over her
plans in her mind.
Sage opened his
eyes, no longer needing to meditate for the day. As he stood
up, he noticed Mina staring aimlessly at the sky and tried not to
make a sound as he walked away. The Senshi instantly cornered
him.
"Konnichiwa,
Sage! I was wondering if you were gonna be doing anything
today."
"Yes, well, um, I
have to go meditate some more."
Mina grabbed his
arm, "But you just got done!"
Looking through a
window on top of a table, Pikachu saw everything.
Ut-oh. The furry
animal leaped off onto the floor.
Sage, as usual
when girls suddenly attack him like that, was at a loss for
words. Mina smiled confidently. He was in her trap and
there was no way out.
"Kale and Ami are
going somewhere today and I wondered if you and I could go with them
aannd... make it a double date?"
Sage took a deep
breath. Nothing seems to
be set in stone yet.
"Me?"
Please,
Sage. Please be courteous. "Yes, you. I
mean, I... I already told them that you were coming with me anyway,
so, um..."
All of his wisdom
and most of his courtesy left his soul. So much for the not set in stone theory... He was trapped and there was no way out, but to go
along.
Pikachu suddenly
burst out between the two. "He can't go with you! Sage
already has a date! With Lita!"
"What!" Mina
shrieked, furious. Sage didn't know what else to do except be
quiet.
"Right, Sage?"
Pikachu chirped.
Not wanting to
make a fool of him, his friend, or Lita, he had no choice but to
say, "Yes."
The furry pokemon
breathed in a deep sigh of relief. "That was too
close."
"I don't really
have to go for a date with Lita, do I?" Sage wondered. A
shocking idea coming to mind.
The same idea came
to Pikachu's mind. "Well, if you don't, Mina might still bug
you and it might make us all seem a bit foolish."
Sekhmet stood
outside, looking at the clouds and then at the surrounding
trees. Mina suddenly stormed past him and yelled out, "I hate
Pokemon!"
The Warlord of
Venom sighed. "Don't we all?" he replied dully.
"So, Lita," said
Pikachu. "You really have to do this."
"Pikachu... I... I
don't know... I prefer to set up my own dates,
but..."
"What's
wrong! You have to do this in order to get Mina to stop
picking on Sage and you love Sage anyway, so what's
wrong?"
Pikachu looked
confused, "But you have some of his pictures, don't you?" Lita
blushed. "I knew it! I knew it!"
It was Pikachu's
turn to blush. "Well, Misty also had a crush on him and she
took me to the capital to find some pictures of him in his personal
records that the Scientists keep of everyone."
"I remember
that. There was this annoying black guy with really bad hair
who kept getting beaten up alot."
Pikachu chuckled,
"Brock has a tendency to put himself in those situations."
Then, more serious, "So... Are you gonna go on the
date?"
Lita sounded very
nonchalant although her heart was thundering. "Sure, why
not?"
Durog stared at
the orange sky, wondering how he could protect a pacifist who did
not want an army even for protection. The wind blew and the
sun began to go down for the night, but he paid no attention to
it. Dura's actions and his actions troubled the Messiah
deeply. The Messiah didn't want an army and he didn't want
this small territorial war, but it was too late. Durog had
tried to explain to him the benefits of a small defensive army and
that the Magia predicted the major danger to his rule would be
Sailor Jupiter, but still he didn't want any bloodshed and told
Durog to explain to her the importance of the Messiah.
Unfortunately, the fanatic joined forces with Dura and raised an
army against the Senshi. without his permission. Now, the
Messiah was silent and melancholy.
Somberly, he began
to pace, wondering what weapons to use against Makoto. They
got themselves into this mess and there would be no escape.
They had to finish what they started.
The entire house
was buzzing with the jibber-jabbering of excited girls who seemed to
have had too much caffine in their coffee. Mina was the only
one who remained silent. Ami had a slight indicision on what
to wear. She didn't pack very many clothes and what she had
didn't seem good enough for a date. Serena and Raye allowed
her to borrow some of their clothes if she wanted which seemed to
heighten her indicision. Mercury was very nervous.
What is there to
be nervous about? Moon and Mars
wondered in unision.
"You could wear
your fuku," Sekhmet suggested, enjoying the whole fiasco. He
was promptly kicked out of the room.
Kale, for some
reason, was not nervous or hid it very well. All the normal
clothes he had for a date were the clothes Ami got for him.
Darien and Dais made suggestions about what women don't want their
dates to wear.
"Women want their
men to be a male reflection of themselves or a male reflection of
what they wish they could be," said Dais.
"Do you have
anything nicer to wear than that?" Darien asked as Kale pulled out a
shirt.
Sekhmet burst out
laughing, "Why don't you wear Kamen's tuxedo?" Again, he was
promptly kicked out.
Pikachu kept
running back and forth, comforting Sage and Lita. Lita was
worried that Sage wouldn't like her. He was Date Seiji!
Sage Date! The most wanted man in the Realm! And he was
very picky about women. Pikachu tried to calm her with, "So,
it's your own nervousness that's making you nervous?" and "Sage is
more scared than you!" She seemed to handle her worries very
well which made Pikachu's job alot easier.
Due to the fact
that his older sister used him for a toy doll when he was little,
Sage is extremely afraid of women. Pikachu had a hard time
thinking of comforting things to say. "Sage, you don't even
have to say anything. All you have to do is look happy.
Think about car racing. That should make you happy."
He wore casual
clothes - a white shirt with two pockets on the front and
light
brownish-gray jeans. He tossed the comb away, not wanting to
get
frustrated with
his hair and walked out of the room and towards the stairs
with Pikachu
following. The others were down there, waiting. Ami wore
her extremely
causal outfit and Kale had his normal punkish attire
excluding
Lita had on dark
sky-blue pants and a yellow shirt decorated with bright
red flowers that
was tucked underneath. Sage could've sworn his heart
stopped when she
smiled at him but, if his heart actually stopped, he
concluded, he
wouldn't have been able to walk down the stairs. The
two
couples went into
the car, Sage at the driver's seat with Kale and Ami in
back.
Everyone waved at them, wishing them luck except for Mina
and
Sekhmet who were
brooding sullenly inside the house.
Lita turned the
radio on and began flipping through stations as soon as they
were on one of the
local roads. The four had agreed on going to a
small
cafe
eariler. She stopped suddenly, remembering that she wanted to
make
a good impression
on Sage.
"What music do you
like to listen to?" She asked, wanting to start a
conversation with
her relunctant date.
The Ronin glanced
warily out the window, distracted. Did he see a
cop?
"Eh, the usual
Japanese stuff."
"Oh," Lita pulled
out a CD. "Do you like The Three Lights?" |
Sage gave her a
stare of disbelief and disgust and turned his attention to the
road. "I do not want to listen to them." Boy groups like
that sing the most ridiculous songs which make women even more
insane.
"Is there a
classical station?" he began to mess with the radio while keeping an
eye on the road and searching for cops.
Sage and Lita had
an arguement over that which ended in a draw and they drove in
silence. The Ronin was fairly certain that there weren't any
cops close by, but he was still cautious. Kale and Ami had a
quiet, civil discussion about the newest edition in a fantasy series
that they were reading.
Durog lowered his
head and clicked the button on the machine that enabled him to talk
to the Messiah from far away. The Messiah wanted to have daily
talks with his priest while he was in charge of the army.
Everything was working perfectly, but he was unsure about how to get
rid of Makoto. Seiji was with them and now the threat was
greater than ever.
"You wanted to
speak with me?" Durog asked.
"I have been
thinking," came the deep fluid voice of the pacifist. "that
because of that incident two days ago, it would be near impossible
to convince her now that I intend the Realm no harm through mere
discussion. Violence does beget violence after all, but I'm
not going to let one foolish mistake interfere with my plans.
You say the Magia, Yogenchi, predicted that Sailor Jupiter will
prevent me from bringing peace to the Realm.."
"Did it occur to
you that a Magia's predictions are not always accurate? A
Magia can only tell you the futures that are most likely to happen
and there are hundreds of different paths we can choose from.
Sailor Jupiter will have no reason to attack me if the majority are
in agreement with me."
"I understand,
Messiah. The crowds are their motivation and give them the
strength to rebel."
"There are plenty
of Main Characters who wish for peace and they will understand what
I am hoping to accomplish. If they understand, then they could
convince others and I would have no need for
protection."
"That is a good
idea, but perhaps a smalle defensive army is also
necessary?"
"NO! It is
that way of thinking that got you and Dura into this mess in the
first place. Do you know what a leader does when in war?
A leader must make sacrifices and take risks that cost lives.
Life is too valuable a thing to waste and I am afraid that either
you or Dura may not come out of this still breathing."
As they neared the
cafe, the driver spotted a some police cars in the parking lot and
parked the car a few lots away so that he would be unnoticed by the
officers. Everyone stepped out of the car and Lita, uaware of
his true objective, started to protest about walking so far towards
a place that still had a few parking spaces in freezing weather, but
she gracefully stopped herself from an outburst and tried to sound
polite, "There are still some places to park over
there."
"I know," he
replied, "But a walk might be nice for all of us, ne?"
Deciding to enjoy
herself, she clung to his arm and was mesmerized by his brillant
good looks. Sage stared straight ahead and struggled not to
look at her. There was a girl on his arm! On his
arm! When he did look at her, he could've swore her eyes were
slowly transforming into pink hearts...
Three girls
watched the two couples, confused and angry.
"This isn't fair!"
Warugaki, the leader of the trio, screeched.
"Didn't Lita say
she was going to remain single for awhile?" Oroka
asked.
"I recongize Sage,
but who's that other handsome man?" Wakionna wondered.
"THIS IS'T FAIR!!"
Warugaki screeched louder so that her two "friends" could hear
her. "Lita says that she isn't going to get anyone for awhile
and who does she end up with? Sage Date of all people!
And Ami's the quiet one and suddenly she's also dating a
fine-looking man who we don't even know! How could we not
notice a man like that?"
"Are our
reputations in danger?" Oroka observed.
"Gee, why don't
you stop and think about it, you idiot!"
They ordered some
soda and a few burgers when they reached the cafe. It was a
quaint clean little place with black and white tiles on the floor
and walls. An old Three Lights song played on the radio along
with the sounds of pinball machines in the corners.
Sage sipped his
drink and placed it back on the table. Lita took a huge swig
of her dr. pepper and still held it in her hand,
discontentedly. She glanced quickly at Kale and Ami. The
other couple had worn out one or two conversation topics in the car
and were waiting quietly for their food to come before starting
another conversation whereas Sage and her were quiet the whole time,
not finding any common ground to discuss.
Jupiter stared
once again at her date, her heart melting and burning with anger at
the same time. I'm usually the
first to talk to guys! How come I can't think of anything to
say? What's wrong with me? I have to say something or
else I'll just be wasting this wonderful time and opportunity!
...but what?...
A strange thought
entered Sage's mind and he turned to look in her deep green eyes.
Does she want to
talk to me about something? She returned the
stare and smiled, forcing him to look away. Nah, if she wants to talk, she will... But something was nagging in the back of his
mind...
Lita was nervous.
I guess he wants
me to speak first. The
waitress came and gave them their food. When everyone started
eating, she decided to bring up a conversation.
"I thought your
orgininal armor was destroyed and you got some new armor," she said
to Sage. Not and ideal thing to say, but it was on her
mind.
"I did get some
new armor after my old one was destroyed, but Kale wanted to stick
to the American dub after they 'disgraced' his name and they didn't
change anything beyond the Dynasty so I don't really have any new
armor."
The warlord let
out a few quiet, yet audible curses about dubbing.
"How long do you
think it'll take Kyra to get here and help us?" Ami asked her date,
the current crisis dominant in her mind.
"Well, there's
hundreds of portals to close and they've been open long enough for
some serious damage to occur. The scientists at the capital
are probably aware of them by now and are also busy closing the
portals. So, she might bring the other Ronins over here to
help us or she might bring the Magia if she knows that the cult is
involved somehow."
"Why the Magia?"
Lita wondered.
"Before Dura came
to power, Yogenchi used to come over quite frequently to talk with
Kyra. Whatever a Magia has to say must be of extreme
importance so I couldn't help, but overhear what they had to
say. Most of their conversations were about the Messiah and
cults. Apparently, the Magia thinks they're a real danger
instead of a simple nuisance."
"Well, that's the
last thing I need in my life," Sage said dryly. "I do
not want to get
caught up in the affairs of the Magia. That would delay me
even more than I already am."
"Well, I want to
know how the Magia and the Messiah are connected," said Lita, "Since
they want to get me instead of Sailor Moon like most normal villians
do."
"They aren't
normal villians if the Magia's involved," Ami
commented.
Sage did not want
to be in a complicated situation that had nothing to do with his
goal and did not want to listen to a conversation about such a
situation. "I'm sure she'll take care of this situation,
whatever it is. So, we don't have to worry about
it."
"Ignorance is not
always bliss," Kale advised.
Lita knew that
Sage didn't want to discuss the topic which was taking a turn on the
morbid side and was silent, somehow silencing everyone else in the
process and ending that discussion.
His burger seemed
a little dry so Sage ate a few French Fries and took another sip of
his drink. Lita could almost, but barely, see his hidden
eye. "How do you fix your hair like that?" she asked
him.
He decided to
answer that too-often asked question for a change, "Against popular
belief, there is absolutely no hair spray involved.
None. It's natural, more or less. You just let your
bangs grow out."
"Oh." She
had never thought of it that way
before... "So, do you want to go to a movie?" She asked the
group.
Surprisingly,
everyone agreed, even Kale. Lita leaned close to Sage during
the middle of the movie. The Ronin glanced at the brown-haired
warrioress nervously and then continued to watch the movie.
Lita leaned closer. Feh,
fine. Sage put
his arm around her shoulders and Makoto snuggled happily against her
new, blonde, and hopefully permanent boyfriend.
Kousei Mahoujou
plopped down on her new bed, too tired to even think about
escape. Slowly, she undid her lovely blue and white braids,
brushing each one carefully while looking at page 177 in her
too-advanced-for-college science book. She stopped brushing
her hair and gazed at the floor forlornly.
"I don't want to
be here. They don't want me here." Kousei closed her
book, thinking, "Since when do the scientists take orders from a
Magia?"
As soon as she
collasped on her bed, the phone rang. Grumbling about prank
call at midnight, she relunctantly picked it up after it rang for
the third time. "Hello?"
"Kousei?"
She knew that voice. He was her inseparable childhood friend
who was also in another time zone.
"Roca-sama!
HHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She nearly jumped up with joy and calmed her racing heart.
"What's up? How's the group? I still can't wait to meet
them in person. I haven't heard from you in a very long
time! What happened? Is everyone and everything
okay?"
"Calm down,
Kousei. Calm down." He chuckled slightly, "Everything's
fine. By the way, what happened to you? I had one
heck of a time trying to call you."
She let out her
frustrations, "I'm the future leader of the tribe and I have to
study Creochi energy! What good does this do me? Magias
never deal with Creochi energy. It's the scientists job, not
mine."
"Whoa, Creochi
energy? You're in the capital? Did your
Great-grandmother put you there? I didn't think the Majol
tribe was interested in the capital."
"We're not
supposed to be. Great-grandmother thought that if I knew about
all these atoms and isotopes and whatever, I'd have an easier time
completing my first mission as a Magia."
"Wow. I
didn't know Yogenchi could be so... mother-like, forcing you to
learn that
stuff."
Suddenly, a slight
shuffling could be heard over the phone, followed by several
indistinct shouts. Her best friend was silent for too
long...
"I'm
alright. I just got into a small fight. That's
all. Ryo's a bloody mess now. Snickering could be heard
in the background and someone sounded morally offended.
Another scuffle could be heard.
"Rowen, Sai, I am
your leader! You will obey me!" Ryo screamed, at a loss for
good fighting words.
"But, Ryo," Rowen
could be heard, "My intellect tells me it would be better if I
disobeyed this command."
"I trust Rowen,"
chirped Sai.
Kousei giggled,
"So, those are your friends?"
"He had something
important to do around Irumsa. I'm not sure
what."
Kousei paused,
thinking. Her great-grandmother said that Sage was important
somehow... She was snapped out of her trance by the sounds of
whispering. "Huh? What's going on?"
"I, um, I, uh,"
her childhood friend paused, "I was wondering if you want to leave
that place and, um, go somewhere with me?"
Her heart stopped,
then, seemed to soar with overwhelming joy. Finally!!
After so many years, he finally wanted to do something
romantic! She had waited forever! Patience is a virture,
after all... It took her entire lifetime of training to calm
and composed. "Sure."
"Great!
Cause I have some boxing tickets and-" |
"Kento,
Bakayero! How could you even!" She was too fumed to finish her sentence and hung up the
phone. Watching two people punch each other continously was
not romantic.
Kento blinked in
confusion, stared at the phone and began to redail. Ryo got
hold of the phone and tried to get it away from the Ronin Warrior of
Justice. "Mia doesn't like too many long distance
calls!"
"Don't worry,
man! You'll help pay the bill!"
Rowen and Sai once
again had to pin their leader to the floor. "You have to let
Kento talk to his girlfriend!" Rowen explained.
Kento said, "She's
not my girlfriend, but thanks anyway." he redailed her number.
One ring. Two.
"Kousei-sama, I'm
so sorry. It was Ryo's idea, not mine! Really!
Please forgive me. Please." It would be best to
apologize quickly than to wait for her to come and receive a severe
beating.
"So... do you
still want to go?"
Kousei sighed and
shook her head sadly. He was so hopeless, but at least he was
trying to do something and there are worse things than boxing.
Besides she wouldn't be the one doing all the cooking. They'd
just need alot of money... She could also meet his
friends. "Sure. I'd love to go."
After they said
their farewells, Kento put the cordless phone back where it
belonged. First, she cusses him out over the idea and then
suddenly she's really excited and all too eager to
go...
"So, you have a
date?" asked Sai.
"Yeah, I
guess. I'm not sure what I have."
The two couples
hopped back into the car. Sage glanced around quickly from his
seat before turning the key and starting the car. The police
were chatting around their cars, ready to continue patrolling the
streets. His dad being a cop, he knew what kind of routes
would be looked at the most and what kind would hardly have any
defense at all. Unfortunately, he didn't know where those
routes were. The Ronin Warrior found a rarely used street
which would be perfect in dodging cops and having fun.
Lita, once again,
wanted conversation. "That was fun, wasn't it?"
"It was okay,"
Sage admitted, wishing for some action and this was the perfect
place for the action he was looking for. Purposefully, he
missed the turn which would take them to their temporary place of
residence, wondering if there was anyone else roaming this
road.
"Hey, Blondie!" A
male teen yelled rudely from another car. Sage glanced at the
big-boned man with curly brown hair that seemed to rest on top of
his head. The teen's voice now had a tone of respect, "Hey,
you're Date Seiji, right?"
"Sailor Jupiter,"
he replied.
"Wow. Do you
have a twin or something? I can't believe she actually went
out with you considering..."
"I hope not," Sage
told the teen.
"Wanna race?" the
teen asked, shifting gears for more speed.
Kale and Ami were
dozing in the back and Lita seemed slightly zoned between awareness
and sleep. Sage figured they probably wouldn't notice if he
had a little bit of fun. "Sure."
The teen banged
his horn a few times, waking up the rest of the group. "Oh,
great," Sage muttered dryly as the car went from zero to sixty miles
per hour in six seconds.
"Whaz goin on?"
Ami asked, still half asleep.
Kale was the first
to awaken completely. "Halo's going to race this other
driver."
Lita rolled down
her window to feel the air pass by wildly as the two cars zoomed
down the street. "This is fun!"
"Sage!" Ami
yelled," You can't race this! This is Darien's car,
remember? It's too dangerous!"
"Don't
worry! I've never had a wreck in my life!"
Lita was
thoroughly enjoying herself from her position in the front
passenger's seat. Kale couldn't help, but laugh
uncontrollablely.
"This isn't funny,
Kale!" Ami scolded her boyfriend, but the Warlord couldn't stop and
only laughed some more.
Sage slammed his
foot on the gas pedal as though trying to shove it through the floor
and the borrowed car went over 120 miles per hour. The teen
was able to go only 110 miles per hour. A dead-end was coming
up and Seiji was the first to reach it and stopped. The Ronin
won yet another race.
"I can't believe
how much fun that was!" Lita exclaimed.
"Sage, don't do
that again!" Ami was furious. "This is not your
car!"
Lita tried to
comfort her comrade, "Everything's okay as long as Darien doesn't
find out."
Kale decided not
to comment.
Sage
smirked. Racing was fun and Lita was right. Everything
would be okay. Suddenly, the teen's car drove away without
giving the usual compliments to the victor. Sirens
followed.
"No," Sage
muttered sadly, leaning his head down so that his forehead could
rest on top of his right hand which rested on top of the steering
wheel. He had tried so hard...
"Police," Kale
informed the driver, looking out the back window.
Why this
night? Of all the nights, why does it have to be this
one?
"Don't worry,
Seiji," Lita tried to provide some comfort. "All you have to
do is show them your license."
The Police Car
stopped next to them and an officer got out and walked next to
Sage. "Again, Seiji?" the female officer wondered, "Couldn't
you at least wait a few months?"
The Ronin blinked,
"Officer Jennson?"
"Yeah, I got
transferred again. Remember what I told you if I caught you
doing this one more time?" Sage shuddered and she knew he
understood. "I was only joking back then cause it was my last
day working in your territory, but..." she let the sentence
hang.
"You're not
gonna... You're not serious!" Sage looked up at the woman,
shock written clearly across his face.
"I'm not sure
what's going to happen to these people. I guess they're just
going to have to come with you since they failed to stop you from
doing this."
Lita asked the
officer cautiously, "What's going on?"
"Seiji's under
arrest. Illegal racing without a license. He's still
seventeen and you have to be eightteen in order to drive."
Sage didn't even bother to look at their faces. He knew they
were beyond furious and were already planning his
murder. |
