everyone a giant hug* And for the flamer out there. why would you bother
reading a S/U fic if you hated Seiya? Anyway. it's just beyond me.
Part VI
"I don't know what was on her mind today." Makoto said closing her locker with a nudge. "It's like she's been on cloud nine all day long."
"I know!" Usagi said with wide eyes. "I think she's on drugs!"
Makoto and Ami laughed a bit at her comment, they of course knew that she was only kidding, but still. Minako was acting strange out of the blue.
"Well you have plenty of time to ask her what's going on in detention today." Ami continued to laugh. "At least you have company for once Usagi."
Usagi huffed in disgust but realized that she was right and there was no sense in arguing with her about it. Minako came up displaying the ear-to- ear grin that she had had all day long. "Usagi." She started grabbing on to Usagi's hands. "We're together in detention again!"
"Minako you say that like it's a good thing." Usagi took her hands back and pulled her bag up higher.
"Well isn't it?" Minako was still elated despite the odd stares she was getting from her friends. "The world is just wonderful and everything in it is perfect!"
Ami quickly checked her forehead to make sure she wasn't running a fever, she felt fine. "Come on Minako, we're going to be late for detention." Usagi said dragging her along. "We'll catch up with you two later." The girls waved their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Usagi looked around at the empty room they were to spend detention in. "Looks like it's just me and you." Minako skipped by and sat down in a seat. Usagi just sighed and joined her.
"Alright girls." The detention witch waltzed in. "Since you were so careless to get detention on a Friday, I think that making you sit here after school is punishment enough. Besides, I have other things I need to do. I'll check on you once in a while, all you have to do is stay here until the bell rings."
"See, it is a great life." Minako smiled at Usagi.
"What's wrong with you? We're in detention, what's so great about that?" Usagi slumped in her seat and fiddled with her pencil.
Minako looked over at her, she knew that the others would have no idea that the reason she was soooo happy was because she had a brief encounter with Yaten, the guy of her dreams, Kou last night. She had promised him she wouldn't tell and she stuck to it! Minako noticed Usagi starting to sketch a small doodle on her notebook. "What are you drawing?" She questioned leaning over from her seat to strain to see.
Usagi quickly covered what she was doing and blushed profusely. "N.nnothing." She stammered. "I have to go to the bathroom, will you tell the teacher if she comes back while I'm gone?" Usagi asked getting up.
Minako nodded her head and watched her leave. 'Time to find what Usagi's hiding!' She thought to herself. Minako snatched Usagi's notebook from her desk and started leafing through the pages to find the drawing she had just been working on. Minako's eyes went wide when she saw what it was. 'What the hell is she drawing a picture of Seiya for?' She thought to herself as she continued to look through the notebook. More pictures of Seiya, a picture of Seiya with Usagi. 'Maybe it's just Mamoru with a ponytail, yeah that's got to be it!' She mentally tried to convince herself. There was a picture of Seiya singing with words from 'Nagareboshi He' around it. "What the."
"Are you having fun?" Usagi asked while standing above Minako. Minako jumped about a mile when she realized she had been caught. "I can't believe you snooped in my stuff!" Usagi grabbed her belongings back.
"Gomen, I was just curious." Minako smiled and dimpled her cheek with her finger. "Besides, now that I know that I'm not the only one that has seen them and knows they're back! I don't have to keep it to myself any more!" She got a far off dreamy look in her eyes. "Isn't it great? We get to see the Three Lights again."
"WHAT!?" Usagi screeched and noticed the teacher walking back into the room. She looked around to make sure both girls were still there, grabbed something from her desk and walked back out.
"Do you think they'll find their princess soon?" Minako still had that day dreaming look in her eyes.
By now Usagi was completely confused. They were back? They were back and they contacted Minako? They were back and Seiya didn't come to see her? Did he forget about her?
"Usagi are you listening to me?" Minako broke in bringing Usagi back from her thoughts.
"I'm sorry Minako. I'm just not feeling very well."
"Not feeling very well? The god of the universe has come to see the beautiful Minako Aino and you're not feeling very well?"
Usagi could only assume that she was referring to Yaten being the 'god of the universe', she had to let out a slight giggle at that. "When are you going to see him again?" Usagi asked hoping she could tag along and see them too.
"Well I'm sure they told you that it was a secret that they were here too, right?" Minako waited for Usagi's reaction, when none came she just naturally assumed that they had. "Yaten said that he would find me when he needed to."
"Minako? What are you doing tonight?" Usagi asked slyly.
"Nothing much why?"
"Well do you mind if I sleep over at your house? Shingo has really been getting on my nerves lately and I need a break." Usagi looked up at the clock and realized that it was almost time to go.
"That would be awesome!" Minako stood up and was ready to run out the door as soon as the bell rang.
~@~@~@~
"Why can't I leave?" I demanded as Helios stood blocking my path to the door.
"Wait until Kakyuu gets back."
"NO! Will you look at this damn outfit I'm stuck wearing? Huh?! Do you want to trade?" I said holding up a piece of my skirt like it was a piece of trash.
"Hell no!" Helios said turning his nose at my uniform.
"Well then let me get new clothes." I stomped my foot in a mini temper tantrum.
"With what?" He asked with a smug expression on his face. I realized that I was defeated, my little journey didn't supply me with the proper means. "Why don't you just sit down and help me come up with a plan?"
"I thought you guys already had a plan?"
"Will you just sit down?" He rolled his eyes and sat on the couch.
"This sucks!" I crossed my arms.
"What sucks?"
"What sucks? You want to know what sucks?" I asked sarcastically. "First of all I can't get home. Second I'm stuck in this apartment and third I'm stuck here with YOU!"
He laughed a bit at me. "Am I really that bad?" He asked with pleading eyes.
"Yes!"
"Would you rather be stuck here with Seiya?"
I calmed down a bit and started to drool once again. "I'd rather be stuck anywhere with Seiya."
Realizing that this was the wrong way to go with the conversation Helios quickly tried to change the subject. "Where is your home anyway?"
"Huh?" I snapped out of my daze.
Making weird hand gestures, that I can only assume was his mock way of doing sign language and speaking really slowly he asked his question again.
"I heard you!" I snapped realizing he was making fun of me. Could I tell him that I was from the REAL world? I guess I had no choice, if I wanted their help at getting home then I had to tell him. "Do you watch television?" I asked.
"No, it rots your brain!"
"Well that would have explained a lot!" I huffed at him and watched his expression turn sour. "Anyway, what I'm about to tell you is going to completely change the way you look at things." He cocked his eyebrow at me and I continued. "This is all just a television show. I'm from the real world and I watch you guys on tv. I was watching 'Sailor Moon', that's the show's name, when I was sick, my cat tripped me and the next thing I knew I was here. What do you think?"
I looked at Helios to find his reaction and immediately I saw him rolling around on the floor laughing. "That's a good one!"
"I'm serious!" He continued to laugh at my feet. "If you're not going to believe me then how are you going to get me home?"
Helios soon calmed his laughter and climbed back up on the couch with me. "Do you understand how crazy that sounds?"
"What that you guys are all fictional cartoon characters?"
"Umm yeah."
"Yeah, but you've got to believe me and you've got to get me back home."
"And what if we can't?" He became completely serious. "Would it really be that bad to be here?"
"Are you kidding me? You guys have a new evil force trying to take over the world here every five minutes. Do you really think I'd want to stay here? Besides, don't you want to go home too?"
He looked down at his hands and sighed. "I have no need to go home, there's nothing for me there."
Kakyuu opened the door and walked in carrying a bag. "Here, I got these for you." She set the bag down near me. "I see you two are being civil for once." She smiled as she continued down the hall to her room.
"What's this?" I questioned looking through the bag.
"Isn't it obvious?" Helios mocked me and rolled his eyes.
"Shut up." I said pulling some clothes out of the bag. It was a pair of jeans and a shirt. "Great! I have some new clothes to wear!" I said holding the garments up to take a look at them. I suddenly brought them down to rest in my lap. "Wait a minute, you knew she was buying me clothes and that's why you wouldn't let me leave huh?"
Helios just smiled. Kakyuu came back in the room smiling at the fact that I enjoyed her surprise. "Helios reminded me of how you were complaining about your uniform yesterday and asked me to go out to get you clothes. I have no idea what Earthlings would wear or what's in style so he told me what to get you and I figured you were the same size as me."
"Thank you Kakyuu!" I smiled and stood up to walk into the other room to change. As much as it pained me to say it I turned around and addressed Helios. "And thank you too Helios."
"You're welcome, even though you're a. Ow!" Kakyuu kicked him in the shin to shut him up and just smiled at me.
~@~@~@~
"I've definitely picked up Kakyuu's energy here in Tokyo but I can't get a lock on her specific location. She must be putting a block up to disguise herself." Taiki said as he looked up at his companions.
"So it's true, she did just come here to get us to follow her." Yaten said pushing his rice around in the bowl.
"Well if we're going to be here for a while don't you think we should make ourselves public?"
Yaten just looked at Taiki strangely. "Do you really want to deal with all of that again? I mean the fans and all."
"Hey it could be fun, I mean it's not everyday we get to pretend to be superstars and neglect our senshi duties." Seiya smiled. "What are you two doing tonight?"
"The same thing you should be doing stupid!" Yaten hissed at him. "Looking for the Princess."
"I'm telling you, she's not going to let us find her, so there's really no sense in looking for her now is there?" Seiya smiled down at the silver haired man.
"I think we should make ourselves public, while we were gone a lot of our money was taken away due to taxes and we won't have that much left if we don't find some means to support ourselves." Taiki set his silver wear down and finished his drink.
Yaten and Seiya both nodded their heads. "Good then I'll go to our agent tomorrow, but you know what that also means don't you?"
"School." Yaten and Seiya said in unison.
"Yup!" Taiki grinned an unbelievably large grin for his character and it almost scared the other two.
"Well then I'll be going." Yaten said waving as he walked towards the door.
Once he was out of hearing range Taiki began to speak. "Where the hell do you think he's going?"
"I don't know but I'm going to find out!" Seiya said getting up to trail Yaten.
~@~@~@~
Why did Minako's house have to have soooo many stairs? Usagi huffed and puffed (as she blew her house down, no wait.) as she walked up the stairs. Finally she made it down the hall to Minako's room. "You could have helped you know!" She let her bags and pillow fall to the ground as she feigned a fainting spell on Minako's bed.
"Oh come on Miss Champion of Justice!"
Usagi looked up and glared at Minako. Usagi got up and got out the movie she had brought over. "So. when do you think you'll see Yaten again?" She questioned Minako with narrowed eyes.
Minako sighed and looked out the window. "Soon I hope."
Usagi rolled her eyes, she had been expecting a serious answer, although it was beyond her why! "Why do you think Kakyuu would come here to Earth?"
"I don't know, and from what Yaten has told me they don't know either!" Minako turned from looking out the window to stare at Usagi who was putting the video in. "Didn't they tell you anything when you saw them?"
Usagi dropped the video. "Uh. uh. To tell you the truth."
"You didn't see them did you?" Minako asked shocked.
"Well no. but." Usagi fumbled with the movie some more.
"USAGI!!" Minako yelled. "That means by telling you I broke a promise to Yaten." She looked on the verge of tears.
Usagi stopped what she was doing and tried to comfort Minako. "Hey, we don't have to tell him that you told me. He doesn't have to know at all!"
"That would mean that I broke a promise and I lied to him." Minako sniffled in hurt. "Oh Yaten can you ever forgive your beautiful angel Minako?" She begged her ceiling.
Usagi stood next to her with her hand on her shoulder and sweat dropped. "Yeah, I think I'll get over it Minako." They heard a voice from the window.
"YATEN!!!" Minako screeched and rushed to the window. Usagi looked on wide-eyed. She really was telling the truth, she was shocked, but what was even more unbelievable was that Yaten actually came to see Minako and submit himself to this torture!
"Hello Usagi!" Yaten said once he was inside the window.
Usagi smiled and gave him a hug, and yes, she noticed the death stares she was getting from Minako for touching her Yaten. "Minako's mom will kill you if she finds you here." She giggled.
Yaten sweat dropped. "Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Minako said holding up a victory pose.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"I found your Princess and I'm holding her for ransom in my closet." Minako smiled like it was no big deal.
"Eh?" Yaten and Usagi looked at her strangely.
"Yup I found her and I'll give her back if you go on a date with me!" He hugged Yaten's arm.
Yaten heard something that resembled laughter from outside the window he began mumbling something about Minako being nuts and headed for the open exit.
"Wait you can't leave!" Minako whined.
Yaten looked out the window and saw a black ponytail hanging from the tree. He was set to leave until he saw this and seeing how Usagi was here he figured he'd have a little fun. "You heard Usagi, your mom will kill me if she finds me." He smiled. "Why don't you come with me?" He offered looking from one to the other.
Usagi shrugged at Minako and Minako practically hit the roof but suddenly calmed down. "Usagi can't come on our date with us!" She pouted.
"It's not a date!" Yaten shook his head and again he heard the laughter outside.
"Where are the others?" Usagi asked. "Seiya and Taiki did come with you right?"
Seiya smiled at the fact his Odango asked for him. 'Maybe she did miss me?'
"Yeah they're here, but they're just sitting around. Don't worry you'll see them, we're going to be going back to school on Monday." Some choice obscenities escaped his lips.
"That's great so now I don't have to worry about keeping this huge secret any more!" Minako was ecstatic.
"Yeah, you should have seen her today, she was seriously the happiest person to walk the face of this Earth!" Usagi got some things together in her bag.
~@~@~@~
"You know, if you could some how get that horn off of the top of your head I'm sure no one would recognize you." I said to Helios. I was going stircrazy in this apartment and wanted to leave.
"Hello? Of course people would recognize me! Are you forgetting that all of the senshi know me?" Helios was stuffing his face with cookies yet again.
"Not really, they saw you the most as Pegasus. The only saw you for like what? Five minutes as a guy?"
"True. I don't know if Kakyuu will let us go out though." He said looking over his shoulder at Kakyuu reading in the corner.
"Well how are we supposed to make things happen if we can't leave the damn apartment?" I asked.
"Are you always this pissy?"
"No, just when I'm around you!" I stood up and started walking towards the door. "Are you coming?" I asked and then quickly glanced at Kakyuu to see if she saw what was going on.
Helios closed his eyes and looked as though he was concentrating very hard on something and suddenly the horn on his head disappeared. "Can you see it?" He asked pointing to the top of his head.
I shook my head no and waved for him to follow me. Just as I was closing the door behind myself I saw Kakyuu look up from her book and smile. "So what do you want to do?" I asked him as we rode the elevator.
"Dance?"
"Nope, I don't dance." I said shooting him a look.
"Go to the mall?"
"Nope, I hate the mall."
"What the hell do you like to do then?" He was certainly frustrated with me now.
"You look better without that giant horn."
"I thought it gave me character!" He smiled proudly.
"Yeah right."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, let's go get food!" I said rubbing my stomach.
"Now at least that's something we can both agree on!" He said smiling.
We walked out of the apartment building and on to the street. I stretched my arms out and breathed in the fresh night air. When I came back to my senses I saw Helios hiding behind me like a little kid. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked turning around.
"Look." He pointed to the sidewalk across the street. It was Usagi, Minako and Yaten walking.
"So?" I asked.
"Look behind them." He pointed further behind to a figure with black hair.
"Seiya.." I started to drool again.
"Snap out of it. We should follow them!"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" I said as I started across the street. I must not have been looking where I was going and ran into some one in the process and I was knocked on my but. "Ow!"
"Are you alright?" Helios helped me up.
The man I bumped into wasn't paying any attention to me and instead seemed to be trying to keep his eye on something moving up the street. I gasped when I realized who it was. "Mamoru." I whispered. I never liked this guy so I decided now was as good of time as any to take my vengeance out on him. With one quick move I swept my foot to take his legs out from under him.
"What did you do that for?" He asked laying on the ground.
"That's what you get for being a stupid jerk!" I yelled down at him. Helios snickered a bit and it calmed me down. We walked away leaving Mamoru lying confused on the pavement.
"I take it you're not too fond of Mamoru? I bet you he's following them." Helios said trying to get my mind back on the task at hand.
"Well we'll just have to make sure that he has the hardest possible time doing it, now won't we." I smiled back and noticed that Helios was doing the same.
Part VI
"I don't know what was on her mind today." Makoto said closing her locker with a nudge. "It's like she's been on cloud nine all day long."
"I know!" Usagi said with wide eyes. "I think she's on drugs!"
Makoto and Ami laughed a bit at her comment, they of course knew that she was only kidding, but still. Minako was acting strange out of the blue.
"Well you have plenty of time to ask her what's going on in detention today." Ami continued to laugh. "At least you have company for once Usagi."
Usagi huffed in disgust but realized that she was right and there was no sense in arguing with her about it. Minako came up displaying the ear-to- ear grin that she had had all day long. "Usagi." She started grabbing on to Usagi's hands. "We're together in detention again!"
"Minako you say that like it's a good thing." Usagi took her hands back and pulled her bag up higher.
"Well isn't it?" Minako was still elated despite the odd stares she was getting from her friends. "The world is just wonderful and everything in it is perfect!"

Besides, I have other things I need to do. I'll check on you once in a while, all you have to do is stay here until the bell rings."
"See, it is a great life." Minako smiled at Usagi.
"What's wrong with you? We're in detention, what's so great about that?" Usagi slumped in her seat and fiddled with her pencil.
Minako looked over at her, she knew that the others would have no idea that the reason she was soooo happy was because she had a brief encounter with Yaten, the guy of her dreams, Kou last night. She had promised him she wouldn't tell and she stuck to it! Minako noticed Usagi starting to sketch a small doodle on her notebook. "What are you drawing?" She questioned leaning over from her seat to strain to see.
Usagi quickly covered what she was doing and blushed profusely. "N.nnothing." She stammered. "I have to go to the bathroom, will you tell the teacher if she comes back while I'm gone?" Usagi asked getting up.
Minako nodded her head and watched her leave. 'Time to find what Usagi's hiding!' She thought to herself. Minako snatched Usagi's notebook from her desk and started leafing through the pages to find the drawing she had just been working on. Minako's eyes went wide when she saw what it was.

"Why can't I leave?" I demanded as Helios stood blocking my path to the door.
"Wait until Kakyuu gets back."
"NO! Will you look at this damn outfit I'm stuck wearing? Huh?! Do you want to trade?" I said holding up a piece of my skirt like it was a piece of trash.
"Hell no!" Helios said turning his nose at my uniform.
"Well then let me get new clothes." I stomped my foot in a mini temper tantrum.
"With what?" He asked with a smug expression on his face. I realized that I was defeated, my little journey didn't supply me with the proper means. "Why don't you just sit down and help me come up with a plan?"
"I thought you guys already had a plan?"
"Will you just sit down?" He rolled his eyes and sat on the couch.
"This sucks!" I crossed my arms.
"What sucks?"
"What sucks? You want to know what sucks?" I asked sarcastically. "First of all I can't get home. Second I'm stuck in this apartment and third I'm stuck here with YOU!"
He laughed a bit at me. "Am I really that bad?" He asked with pleading eyes.
"Yes!"
"Would you rather be stuck here with Seiya?"
I calmed down a bit and started to drool once again. "I'd rather be stuck anywhere with Seiya."
Realizing that this was the wrong way to go with the conversation Helios quickly tried to change the subject. "Where is your home anyway?"

Why did Minako's house have to have soooo many stairs? Usagi huffed and puffed (as she blew her house down, no wait.) as she walked up the stairs. Finally she made it down the hall to Minako's room. "You could have helped you know!" She let her bags and pillow fall to the ground as she feigned a fainting spell on Minako's bed.
"Oh come on Miss Champion of Justice!"
Usagi looked up and glared at Minako. Usagi got up and got out the movie she had brought over. "So. when do you think you'll see Yaten again?" She questioned Minako with narrowed eyes.
Minako sighed and looked out the window. "Soon I hope."
Usagi rolled her eyes, she had been expecting a serious answer, although it was beyond her why! "Why do you think Kakyuu would come here to Earth?"
"I don't know, and from what Yaten has told me they don't know either!" Minako turned from looking out the window to stare at Usagi who was putting the video in. "Didn't they tell you anything when you saw them?"
Usagi dropped the video. "Uh. uh. To tell you the truth."
"You didn't see them did you?" Minako asked shocked.
"Well no. but." Usagi fumbled with the movie some more.
"USAGI!!" Minako yelled. "That means by telling you I broke a promise to Yaten." She looked on the verge of tears.
Usagi stopped what she was doing and tried to comfort Minako. "Hey, we don't have to tell him that you told me. He doesn't have to know at all!"
"That would mean that I broke a promise and I lied to him." Minako sniffled in hurt. "Oh Yaten can you ever forgive your beautiful angel Minako?" She begged her ceiling.
Usagi stood next to her with her hand on her shoulder and sweat dropped. "Yeah, I think I'll get over it Minako." They heard a voice from the window.
"YATEN!!!" Minako screeched and rushed to the window. Usagi looked on wide-eyed. She really was telling the truth, she was shocked, but what was even more unbelievable was that Yaten actually came to see Minako and submit himself to this torture!
"Hello Usagi!" Yaten said once he was inside the window.
Usagi smiled and gave him a hug, and yes, she noticed the death stares she was getting from Minako for touching her Yaten. "Minako's mom will kill you if she finds you here." She giggled.
Yaten sweat dropped. "Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Minako said holding up a victory pose.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"I found your Princess and I'm holding her for ransom in my closet." Minako smiled like it was no big deal.
"Eh?" Yaten and Usagi looked at her strangely.
"Yup I found her and I'll give her back if you go on a date with me!" He hugged Yaten's arm.
Yaten heard something that resembled laughter from outside the window he began mumbling something about Minako being nuts and headed for the open exit.
"Wait you can't leave!" Minako whined.
Yaten looked out the window and saw a black ponytail hanging from the tree. He was set to leave until he saw this and seeing how Usagi was here he figured he'd have a little fun. "You heard Usagi, your mom will kill me if she finds me." He smiled. "Why don't you come with me?" He offered looking from one to the other.
Usagi shrugged at Minako and Minako practically hit the roof but suddenly calmed down. "Usagi can't come on our date with us!" She pouted.
"It's not a date!" Yaten shook his head and again he heard the laughter outside.
"Where are the others?" Usagi asked. "Seiya and Taiki did come with you right?"
Seiya smiled at the fact his Odango asked for him. 'Maybe she did miss me?'
"Yeah they're here, but they're just sitting around. Don't worry you'll see them, we're going to be going back to school on Monday." Some choice obscenities escaped his lips.
"That's great so now I don't have to worry about keeping this huge secret any more!" Minako was ecstatic.
"Yeah, you should have seen her today, she was seriously the happiest person to walk the face of this Earth!" Usagi got some things together in her bag.

"You know, if you could some how get that horn off of the top of your head I'm sure no one would recognize you." I said to Helios. I was going stircrazy in this apartment and wanted to leave.
"Hello? Of course people would recognize me! Are you forgetting that all of the senshi know me?" Helios was stuffing his face with cookies yet again.
"Not really, they saw you the most as Pegasus. The only saw you for like what? Five minutes as a guy?"
"True. I don't know if Kakyuu will let us go out though." He said looking over his shoulder at Kakyuu reading in the corner.
"Well how are we supposed to make things happen if we can't leave the damn apartment?" I asked.
"Are you always this pissy?"
"No, just when I'm around you!" I stood up and started walking towards the door. "Are you coming?" I asked and then quickly glanced at Kakyuu to see if she saw what was going on.
Helios closed his eyes and looked as though he was concentrating very hard on something and suddenly the horn on his head disappeared. "Can you see it?" He asked pointing to the top of his head.
I shook my head no and waved for him to follow me. Just as I was closing the door behind myself I saw Kakyuu look up from her book and smile. "So what do you want to do?" I asked him as we rode the elevator.
"Dance?"
"Nope, I don't dance." I said shooting him a look.
"Go to the mall?"
"Nope, I hate the mall."
"What the hell do you like to do then?" He was certainly frustrated with me now.
"You look better without that giant horn."
"I thought it gave me character!" He smiled proudly.
"Yeah right."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, let's go get food!" I said rubbing my stomach.
"Now at least that's something we can both agree on!" He said smiling.
We walked out of the apartment building and on to the street. I stretched my arms out and breathed in the fresh night air. When I came back to my senses I saw Helios hiding behind me like a little kid. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked turning around.
"Look." He pointed to the sidewalk across the street. It was Usagi, Minako and Yaten walking.
"So?" I asked.
"Look behind them." He pointed further behind to a figure with black hair.
"Seiya.." I started to drool again.
"Snap out of it. We should follow them!"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" I said as I started across the street. I must not have been looking where I was going and ran into some one in the process and I was knocked on my but. "Ow!"
"Are you alright?" Helios helped me up.
The man I bumped into wasn't paying any attention to me and instead seemed to be trying to keep his eye on something moving up the street. I gasped when I realized who it was. "Mamoru." I whispered. I never liked this guy so I decided now was as good of time as any to take my vengeance out on him. With one quick move I swept my foot to take his legs out from under him.
"What did you do that for?" He asked laying on the ground.
"That's what you get for being a stupid jerk!" I yelled down at him. Helios snickered a bit and it calmed me down. We walked away leaving Mamoru lying confused on the pavement.
"I take it you're not too fond of Mamoru? I bet you he's following them." Helios said trying to get my mind back on the task at hand.
"Well we'll just have to make sure that he has the hardest possible time doing it, now won't we." I smiled back and noticed that Helios was doing the same.
