Makoto rushed into the kitchen after Minako. She had to explain what had happened. It wasn't an attempt to get over Shinozaki. She didn't even kiss Seiya. They just simply fell asleep talking, and that was it.

"Mina-chan, wait!" Makoto yelled.
"Don't explain. What you do with your love life is your business." Mina replied.
"But Mina, it's not what you think! Seiya and I didn't do anything...we just fell asleep together after talking. That's it!" Makoto yelled.
"Mako-chan? Are you cheating on Shinozaki? Oh! Don't tell me. I don't want to know anything." Said a familiar voice behind the couch.

Rei straightened up to see Mina, Makoto, and Seiya. She had just gotten in from her early morning plane flight, which was why Mina went to wake up Makoto in the first place. She tossed her raven black hair behind her and smiled. Makoto blushed for a moment, then turned back to her look of anger. How could they even think she would cheat on anyone or even move on so quickly after being dumped?

"Minako...Rei...This isn't what you think! Shinozaki and I broke up. Well, he broke up. He found another girl to spend the rest of his life with. As for Seiya...well, he just sort of appeared. The dreams I was telling you about over the phone Rei, I think they have something to do with him and how his planet got destroyed and..." Makoto began.
"Wait a second...Shinozaki cheated on you? And what exactly happened to Seiya's planet?" Rei exclaimed.
"My planet was attacked by five guys, commanded by a female. I was the only one who escaped, but in doing so, I lost my powers. I came here because, well, I was drawn here. It's complicated and hard to put into words." Seiya explained.
"And as for Shinozaki...yes, the distance wasn't working for him. He found someone else." Makoto said, fighting back her tears.
"Well Mako-chan, by what you told me of your dream over the phone and from what Seiya has said, it just seems so familiar." Rei said.
"What do you mean Rei?" Minako asked.
"Well, do you remember our battle with Queen Beryl?"
"Yes, who could forget?" Minako replied.
"Well, with the guys being lead by a female and the fact that the guys are dressed like generals, it seems to me like Queen Beryl again." Rei said.
"What? That's impossible. It can't be Queen Beryl. We dusted her, remember? But...could it be someone close to her?" Makoto asked.
"That's always a possibility. Have there been any Youma attacks?" Rei inquired.
"No, none that I have heard about." Makoto replied.
"Should we call the others?" Minako asked.
"No, I wouldn't call them just yet. Let's see what exactly we are dealing with first." Seiya suggested.

The rest of the day and early evening was spent trying to figure out who could be the one who attacked Seiya's home planet. In the end, they all came up empty. Without any other attacks, it would be hard to figure out any further information. Makoto fixed dinner for her guests. After a while, they each retired to their rooms-Seiya to the couch, Rei and Minako in the spare bedroom, and Makoto in her bedroom. The lights went out in the apartment and all was quiet.
