Chapter 3
"Are you sure she came here?" Seiya asked nervously, eyeing the large crowd of people. She was worried that some girl might recognize him and tell everyone that she, and Taiki were girls...which was true, but it would ruin all their chances of ever being singers here again. Kakyuu nodded.
"I wonder what could have caused her to run off like that." Taiki said. "I mean, we only asked her if she wanted to come for a walk...I don't see why she got all upset and ran away."
"I have no clue what the hell's wrong with her, so let's find her and ask!" Seiya yelled, annoyed. Kakyuu shushed her as some people stared. Seiya crossed her arms and 'hmph'ed. Taiki rolled her eyes and kept looking around.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei finally calmed Yaten down, and the two girls got off the ride.
"C'mon, we'll come back some other day..." Rei said quietly. Yaten nodded. The two quickly made their way to the park entrance, avoiding Seiya, Taiki, and Kakyuu. Unfortunately, Taiki saw them, just as they left. They broke into a run.
"Where are we going?" Yaten asked frantically, eyes wild. Rei thought for a moment.
"Uh, can't go to the shrine...too predictable..." she thought out loud. "We could go to uh...well there's...no...hmmm...oh! C'mon, we're taking a boat ride."
"What?" Yaten asked. Rei didn't answer. Instead she pulled the shorter girl along a confusing trail, back and forth...Yaten began to wonder if they were even getting anywhere. Then, before she could straighten out her thoughts, she found herself on a cruise ship. She blinked.
"They can't get to us now." Rei grinned. Yaten smiled, and sighed in relief.
"Thanks." She said.
"No problem, now lets have some fun!" she said. "There's a swimming pool, a store, a restaurant...what do you want to do?"
"Um, the store?" Yaten suggested.
"Sure!" Rei pulled her away.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"...oh? No? Well, thanks anyway. Bye Odango." Seiya hung up the phone and shook her head. She turned to her companions. "Everyone's mad at us except Usagi. Ami said that I had the wrong number, and that she didn't know anyone named Seiya. Minako said she didn't know, and that even if she did she wouldn't tell us. Then Makoto yelled at me, called me a jerk and plenty of other names then hung up, and obviously Rei wasn't home."
"Outers?" Kakyuu asked. Seiya sighed.
"First time, Michiru picked up. She hung up after I said hello." She said. "Next Haruka picked up. She called me a bitch then hung up. Then no one answered for, like, eight trys. Finally Setsuna picked up. She told me politely to go back to Kinmoku. Then Hotaru answered. She started crying and told me that she would slit my throat with her glaive if I bothered Yaten again."
"Oh..." Taiki gulped. "......wonder what's got them all upset..."
"Probably the same thing that's upsetting Healer." Kakyuu said calmly. "She must have come here and told them about whatever is bothering her. So now they're mad at us too."
Taiki nodded. That was a logical explanation. He might not have been surprised by the Outer's reaction to their return, but the inners? Those girls who they had become such good friends with? He was, to say the least, confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"You said there was a store!" Yaten giggled. "Not a mini-mall!"
Rei sweatdropped as she readjusted her grip on her four shopping bags. Yaten, by now, was carrying six.
"A movie store!" Yaten squealed. She looked hopefully at Rei. The raven haired girl grinned and nodded. They went in and began browsing around. Yaten found the anime section and grabbed a few tapes before heading up to the counter. Rei found some American romance movies. When she got to the counter, Yaten was ready to go. Rei paid and the two girls left the little store.
"Now where?" Rei asked. Yaten frowned in thought.
"I'm kinda hungry..." she said. "Is there anywhere to eat?"
"Ever been to McDonalds?" Rei grinned. Yaten shook her head. "Come on. It's over there."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"...so, we'll try talking to Usagi." Kakyuu finished her idea. The two other girls nodded.
"Makes sense." Taiki said. Seiya sighed.
"Might as well try." She said. Kakyuu nodded, and the three girls left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"I like these things." Yaten said, holding up a bag of French Fries. Rei grinned.
"I thought you might." She said. Yaten smiled. "Here try this."
Rei held out her cheeseburger. Yaten cautiously took a bite. Her face broke into a wide grin.
"What IS that?" she asked, delighted. Rei grinned.
"A cheeseburger."
"No!" Yaten gasped in disbelief. "Those things that Sei…"
She lapsed into silence. Rei frowned.
"Ah, come on!" she said. "Let's not go thinking about that! There's still so many fun things we have to do!"
The tears disappeared from Yaten's eyes, and she looked hopefully at Rei.
"You like swimming, don't you?" she winked. Yaten's eyes lit up. "I thought so."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Now where did she get THAT idea?" Taiki muttered aloud. Usagi looked at the three women in confusion.
"You mean you DIDN'T say all that to her?" she asked. Seiya shook her head.
"Why the hell would we?" she said. "I mean, I lov...er, she's one of my best friends!"
"I'm going to call the others." Usagi said, picking up the phone. "So we can get this all sorted out."
"Good idea." Said Kakyuu. "Though, you may want to leave your outer senshi out of this for the time being."
"Why?" Usagi questioned. Seiya gulped.
"'Cause we don't have a death wish." She shivered.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"HEY!" Yaten squealed happily as Rei splashed her. "Don't!"
She sent a wave of water back at the raven-haired girl.
"Ack!" Rei dived underwater, dodging the blast of water. Yaten giggled for a moment, when Rei suddenly grabbed her ankles and pulled.
"AAAHH~!" she wailed before being pulled under. Beneath the surface, Rei smiled wickedly at her then darted away. Yaten glared as best she could underwater and shot after the fire senshi. "Blu blah blublubleh!" she declared, though she had intended to say 'you won't get away'. Rei kicked some bubbles into her face and sped off again.
The two girls were having an insane amount of fun, and therefore didn't notice time slipping away. By the time they both stopped giggling and splashing, the captain announced that they would be docking soon. Fear flooded Yaten's green eyes as she and Rei changed and walked cautiously back onto shore. Sensing no senshi nearby, they headed for the shrine.
When they walked in, they found Ami sitting by the table.
"Rei! Yaten!" she greeted. "Thank goodness you're back! I was beginning to worry! Why didn't you tell us where you were going?!"
Rei smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry Ami, we ran into some…complications…" she said. Ami smiled understandingly.
"I see." She said quietly. "Well, in any case, I need to talk to you."
"Both of us?" Yaten asked. Ami nodded.
"Yes, both of you. Sit down?" she said. Yaten and Rei sat opposite her at the table. "You see…there's a new enemy."
Rei jumped up.
"Impossible!" she screeched. Ami motioned for her to sit back down.
"Very possible." She said. "We believe that the enemy has illusionary powers."
"What proof is there of that?" Yaten asked. "Were you attacked?"
"No." Ami said calmly. "You were."
Yaten blinked.
"Me?" she asked. Ami nodded.
"Yaten." She said soothingly. "Back on Kinmoku…"
Yaten's jaw clenched and Rei wrapped an arm around her.
"…Seiya, Taiki, and Kakyuu didn't want you to LEAVE, they merely wanted you to accompany them on a walk. The enemy used an illusion to…" Ami continued. Yaten jumped up and clamped her hands over her ears.
"NO!" she screamed. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!! I'M THE MOST POWERFUL SENSHI!! I CAN'T HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY A CHEAP TRICK!!"
She fled the room, hands still covering her ears, leaving Ami and Rei wide-eyed.
