Sumoru flipped his sunglasses over his eyes, shielding the sun from his eyes. Oriana
hooked her arm around Sumoru's as they followed Rei and Usagi to the mall. Sumoru
kissed Oriana, who giggled happily. "I'm glad you're here, Sumoru. I missed you so
much,"
"I missed you, too. The year couldn't have gone any slower than it did," replied Sumoru.
Oriana looked up at him sadly.
"I was staying in a house in the woods until a couple days ago. Father followed me here
and tried to kill me by burning the house down," said Oriana. Sumoru looked at Oriana,
alarmed.
"And why did he want to kill you?" questioned Sumoru. Oriana shook her head.
"I told you. When I was born, I was born as an Enchantress. Father was furious," told
Oriana in a whisper, not wanting Rei or Usagi to hear. "I'll tell you the rest later,"
Sumoru nodded knowingly.
Unknowing to Oriana and Sumoru, Usagi and Rei stopped suddenly, making them walk
into them.
"Oof," Sumoru looked up. "Hey, why'd you guys stop?"
"Mamoru?" said Usagi. Oriana and Sumoru looked at each other, confused.
"Oh, hey, Usako, Rei!" said a man's voice. Oriana peeked around Usagi and saw a tall
man with dark hair and eyes. A woman was accompanying the man. "Long time no see!"
"Same to you, Mamoru! So, how have you been?" asked Rei. The Mamoru guy smiled.
"I've been doing great! I'm on spring break right now from school. I brought my fiance
along. This is Kaifuu Kanna. Kanna, this is Hino Rei and Tsukino Usagi, soon to be
Kou," introduced Mamoru. The woman smiled kindly.
"Oh, Mamoru. We have someone to introduce, too," said Usagi. Oriana and Sumoru
stepped forward. "This is Orista Oriana and Orihime Sumoru,"
"Nice to meet you. JEEZ!" cried Mamoru, looking at Oriana. "You look just like Meioh
Setsuna!" Oriana sighed.
"We are related. We're cousins," replied Oriana. Mamoru blinked in surprise, but shook
his head. He looked at Usagi.
"So, when's the Big Day?" asked Mamoru. Usagi smiled happily.
"It's a month after school lets out. It'll be June 24," replied Usagi. "The only thing we're
having trouble with is where we're getting married,"
"Well, you still have 3 months. You can figure out something before then. It'll be hot in
June, so I would say somewhere outside. Like in an orchid garden or on the beach or
somewhere like that," suggested Mamoru. Usagi thought for a minute then smiled.
"I'll tell Seiya that. Are you going to come?" asked Usagi, hopefully. Mamoru looked at
Kanna then returned his gaze to Usagi and shrugged.
"I dunno. But I'll surprise you if I get to come," replied Mamoru. He looked at his watch
and blinked in surprise. "I'm sorry to say, but Kanna and I have to get going,"
"It was nice seeing you again, Mamo-chan," said Usagi and Rei at the same time.
"You, too. And it was nice meeting you, Oriana, Sumoru," said Mamoru. He waved as he
walked off.

"We'll meet you in the food court in half an hour. See ya," said Oriana. She and Sumoru
headed off in the direction of the Spencers and Hot Topic. "So, what's it that you need?"
"I need me more Linkin Park shirts and posters," replied Sumoru cheekily. Oriana shook
her head.
"As long as you buy me the same," said Oriana. She changed the subject. "I think
Usagi and Rei are suspicious of us,"
"How's so?" asked Sumoru. They were about to go into Spencers when there was chaos
near the food court. Oriana and Sumoru took off to the scene.
They approached the food court and hid behind one of the pillars, wathcing the scene
from afar.
A girl with hair that of a garnet shade, which came down to her waist, was holding onto
Seiya's wrist and Usagi was there, looking frustrated, confused, and angry.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" screamed Usagi. She stormed up to the girl and
kicked her in the shins. The girl lost her grip on Seiya as she fell. Seiya had a strained
look on his face. It looked like he was thinking whether to help the girl up or not. Usagi
took Seiya's wrist and walked him off.
"Usagi, wait," Seiya voiced. Usagi stopped and looked at him. "Rakeshia is my friend.
She was not trying to hurt me in any way or even hitting on me. So just don't start
turning green with envy whenever you see me talking to her,"
Usagi's angered look fell. She heaved a sigh. "Alright, Seiya. I understand that. I didn't
have any right to do that,"
"That's right, you didn't," replied a voice behind them. Seiya and Usagi and Rei
turned and saw the girl getting to her feet. She glared at Usagi. "You should learn to
trust your boyfriend,"
"Butt out," said Usagi. All three of them turned and left.
The girl mumbled to herself as she walked the opposite direction past Oriana and
Sumoru, who exchanged looks.
