Angel: um. oops.
Two Roads Part VI: Meeting
Seiya aimed a punch at Serena and hit her right in the stomach. A cry escaped Serena's lips as she crumpled to the floor in pain. Haruka came to stand beside Seiya, her eyes narrowed; she kicked the younger senshi in the leg, hard.
Tears fell hard and fast from Serena's eyes. "Get up." Haruka commanded. "If you're going to sit on your but and cry like a baby then there's no hope for rescuing Hotaru and saving this world."
"But. Do you have to be so hard?" Serena asked.
"Yes!" Haruka barked and with a swift turn she marched over to watch Michi and Suna fight.
"Are you okay Bunny?" Seiya asked.
Serena looked up at him with cool and hard eyes, "I have to be."
Lita sighed as she and Taiki took a break. Haruka was a hard teacher, especially when she was trying. They'd been out in the field overlooking the palace since sunrise. It was almost sunset, and Ruka hadn't given them a break since lunch. Serena was matched against Seiya, Michi and Suna, Taiki and herself, Ruka was watching, and Rini and the royals were watching.
They had to train, to prepare for the fight at hand. The two remaining starlight's were training the girls in their new powers, while Haruka helped them in physical battle.
After a few more minutes Haruka called them all together, "We have to count on the fact our powers could be enabled. Akuma and his lackeys will always have a backup plan. Now we need one. Lita, you know the palace right?"
"Hai." Lita nodded.
"Then you'll have to find Hotaru and Yaten. Our first priority is to get them out, even if it means we save the fight for another day. Try and lure Akuma as far from the palace as possible. It's going to be hard, but we have to do it!"
"I'll go with Lita." Seiya said. "It'll be easier if there's two of us."
"No." Serena said, "They won't expect Lita be on our side and it'll look odd if any one of us is missing. We have to make them think we're there to fight to the finish." Seiya, Taiki, and Lita nodded.
Setsuna closed her eyes and sighed, 'what's going to happen? The time line is so screwed up. It scares me. Rini's changed. She looks like Seiya. I don't understand.' She felt a hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and started into Karutsu's warm eyes. "Are you alright?"
"No." She murmured. "I don't understand what's going on, and it's hard for the guardian of time to not know what's happening in time." He nodded and opened his arms to her. She welcomed the embrace and rested her head against Karutsu's shoulder.
Little did the two know, but Kakuya was watching with a disbelieving look. 'My brother and. Setsuna? Well that's an odd turn of events. It's seems there's more then one romance happening under the roof of my palace. I just hope the one pair of lovers is returned to us. I miss talking with Hotaru, and Healer. And watching the secret looks Hotaru sent him when no one was watching. And. I. I miss Kenshin.'
"Princess?" She turned to look at Fighter. He was watching her with a soft look, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking about Kenshin."
"You're betrothed will be found! I know when he disappeared most thought he was dead. but he'll be found. Akuma probably has him. I know the wedding's supposed to be next week and that makes you sad."
"Please don't go on." She said softly, her eyes welling up with tears. "I have to be strong and pray we find him. I know he's alive."
"Yes, princess." Seiya nodded and turned to Taiki who was staring off into space. They were all at nerves end. 'And some more then others; Serena, Kakuya, Setsuna and. me.' He sighed, 'I've said so many mean things to Yaten. And I really don't want him to die.'
Serena's mind was also on the missing two, 'Hotaru. you've been so wonderful to me. And you've had your own share of problems in life. You didn't need mine put on your plate, yet I shoved them there. I'm so sorry. It's my fault.' Her blue's shimmered with tears that still wanted to fall, even though she'd cried enough to flood a world. "I wish I hadn't gotten anyone else involved." She whispered.
Michi and Ruka watched all the others, Suna and Karutsu, Kakuya, Taiki, Seiya and Serena. Rini stood next to the two older scouts and the cats stood around their feet.
"It's hard." Luna said. "Everything's gotten way out of hand."
"Hai." Artimis said.
The two star cats rolled their eyes. "I don't get all of them, all mopey and teary eyed. It's pathetic." Huffed Orbit. "I don't like that Serena especially, she's a ditz and a blonde." (An: I don't think so. Okay. really Ser is a bit of a ditz but she's not bad.)
"It's not fare to pass judgment yet. This is a hard time on all of us." Luna said.
"Hm. We'll see." Ceres raised a brow.
"I just wish Lesta was here." Orbit said.
********************************************************************
"I think it's time to go." Haruka announced after another two hours of training. "We have no choice. It's not like we have much time. We need to leave now."
"Hai, I agree." Michi said.
"I don't." Seiya said while glaring at Haruka. The senshi of the wind wasn't happy with him or his brothers. 'I know she blames us for Hotaru being gone now and for her being pregnant, though that one is Yaten's fault, but I think she's just mad at herself. She just needs know Hotaru is alright and as soon as possible, though we can't do that.'
"And why not!" Haruka growled.
"It'll be like running into an ocean with a boat and staying there for days. We just can't! We need to form more of a plan."
Sage: Wow. Amazing.
Duo: lol.. Sage did you have sugar?
Sage: Uh huh. Angel gave it to me!
