Chapter 6
After DragonK & Arwan disappear...SDragon opens her eyes and looks around confused.
"Welcome back, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as SDragon looks confused.
"Nani? Did I pass out again?",asks SDragon as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Hai, Dragon-chan. You should take a nap when we get home.",says SMermaid as she helps her friend up and then they teleport back to the apartment.
"Hai, that sounds like a good idea.",says SDragon calmly as she remembers a little about what happened earlier.
In Sarah's room...She detransforms and gets into her p.j.'s as she crawls into bed.
Once Sarah is in REM..."So Macha who's Arwan? Was he your boyfriend in your past?",asks Isaura curiously after they all detransformed.
"He was a friend. No, it wasn't like that at all, Isaura-chan.",says Macha as she kind of blushes at the though of her and Arwan as lovers.
"So you were both loyal to Sarah-chan and Hale-kun in their pasts? I wish we knew more about our pasts but I'm glad to be a senshi.",says Isaura calmly.
"Hai, very much so as well as to the King and Queen. You all will soon enough when you find your other partners, Isuara-chan.",says Macha calmly.
"Why doesn't Sarah-chan if she already has her knight?",asks Allisa concerned.
"I'm not sure. Something must have effected her in the present.",says Macha worried as Allisa nods firmly.
"It was her baka ex. She doesn't like to bring him up very often.",says Allisa.
"Why? What did he do to her?",asks Tasida concerned.
"He messed with her head. He had family problems and he'd sometimes call her on the phone and start yelling at her for no good reason. He was a real baka to her. Unfortunately, he was her first boyfriend too so now she's afraid of guys but she won't admit it.",says Allisa angerily.
"She needs to start dating guys.",says Egan firmly as Allisa shakes her head sadly.
"It's not that easy. She probably thinks that the next guy will do the same thing to her.",says Allisa as they all go to bed while the guardians change into their Earth forms.
The next day...Sarah gets up and gets ready for school.
At school...she notices that everybody is either gone or they have on medical masks around their mouths and noses.
'Either Esmeraude-baka infected all of Tokyo with a majorly bad flu virus or else this school is seriously messed up.',says Sarah as Ryan looks around too.
"Look at :cough cough: them, minna. They aren't :wiping his nose: sick.",says a jock as he wipes his nose angerily.
"I just have a healthy emunsystem. You're just jealous.",says Sarah annoyed as the jock glares at her angerily.
"Sure but why do you always have desserts in your lunch everyday you come to the lunch room?",asks the jock as Sarah raises an eyebrow at him suspiciously.
"I like my desserts, arigato.",says Sarah annoyed as the jock gets up and walks over to her desk angerily.
Sarah just stares up at the jock calmly.
"You're lucky that I'm too sick to beat you up or else I would right now. When I get better then you're dead.",hisses the jock as Sarah just shoos him off.
"Go tell that to someone who cares, baka.",says Sarah angerily as Ryan looks at her amazed that she'd say something like that to the toughtest kid in their college.
"Do you always try to cause this much trouble in the States or are you seriously insane?",whispers Ryan quietly as Sarah looks at him slyly.
"Mostly but I'm not insane. I like seeing people go nuts. I also like to see their eyes bulge out an inch from their shockets and to see their faces turn bright red. It's very amusing.",says Sarah calmly as Ryan shakes his head.
"You enjoy that, don't you?",asks Ryan in a serious tone as Sarah nods firmly.
"Hai, I do.",says Sarah in a serious voice.
"One of these days you're going to need to stop saying stuff to make people mad.",says
Ryan as Sarah agrees.
"HEY!I'M :coughes and spurts a little: *NOT* :more coughing: DONE WITH YOU YET, STAR-KUN!",yells the jock angerily as he finds out that he doesn't like to be ignored by a girl.
"Class is dismissed since I'm too sick. I knew that I should have stayed home. What was I thinking?",says the teacher as he starts coughing really bad from even talking.
As soon as they get out of their classroom...The jock grabs Sarah's backpack and slams her into a locker.
"That's for ignoring me earlier to talk to Hale-kun.",says the jock angerily as Sarah takes off her backpack and checks the bump on her forhead.
It stings but Sarah has more important things to worry about right now.
"That's it. I've had enough of being pushed around like a rag doll.",hisses Sarah angerily as she gets into her fighting stance.
"Aw, look like Star-kun wants to fight me.",says the jock sarcastically.
"Stop talking, baka so I can get this over with. I have other things to do besides dealing with you.",hisses Sarah as the jock laughes but then ends up coughing hard.
Then once he gets into his fighting stance..."It's your funeral, Star-kun.",says the jock as Sarah smiles
slyly at him.
He tries to punch her but he misses and she kicks him hard in the stomach.
He falls down right on his butt as Sarah puts her backpack back on her shoulders.
"Let's get out of here, Hale-kun. Obvisely nobody's going to help him up.",says Sarah as Ryan nods numbly while they run out of their college and towards the Tokyo Hospital.
At the hospital..."Aren't we going to be in trouble, Star-kun?",asks Ryan as Sarah shakes her head.
"Are you afraid of the principal, Hale-kun?",asks Sarah annoyed as she transforms into SDragon.
"No, I'm *not* afraid of that old hag. I just don't want to get into detention and be stuck in there for a few hours, that's all.",says Ryan as he transforms into Dragon Knight.
"We may have broken up but that doesn't mean that I don't know when you're lieing.",says SDragon in a serious voice as DragonK looks at her strangely.
"So does this mean...?",asks DragonK curiously but he's cut off when they hear Chibi-Usa screaming.
"Spirit Dragon, come forth!",shouts SDragon as a huge dragon comes from her palm and destroys a
medical needle just as Chibi-Usa trips on a crack in the marbled floor.
"Dragon-chan, help! That Esmeraude-baka is here with her youma again and minna-chan's sick.",says Chibi-Usa as Spirit Dragon returns into SDragon's palm.
Chibi-Usa gets up quickly and hugs her friend thankfully.
"Is SVenus-chan here too, Chibi-chan?",asks SDragon calmly as Chibi-Usa nods firmly.
"Hai, I can sense her energy too. She's the only one that's not sick. Are the others okay?",says Chibi-Usa as
SDragon puts her down on the ground.
"Kamen-kun's here too.",says DragonK as SDragon nods firmly.
"His element is strong too but his attacks are weak.",says SDragon in a serious voice as Chibi-Usa nods.
"He doesn't believe in the Old Ways like me and you do.",says Chibi-Usa as SDragon looks surprised.
"You gave up your own religion, Chibi-chan?",asks SDragon as Chibi-Usa nods firmly."Hai, but that was in the future. Come on *we* gotta destroy that youma of Esmeraude's.",says Chibi-Usa as SDragon nods firmly.
"You're staying with Kamen-kun, Chibi-chan.",says SDragon as Chibi-Usa nods firmly and jumps down.
She runs into Tuxedo Kamen's arms and he picks her up.
"You ready, Dragon-kun?",asks DragonK as SDragon nods and gets out her staff.
"Hai, let's go. This should be fun.",says SDragon as they see that the youmas has SVenus pinned with alot of needles to a wall.
"Minna-kun, help me.",says SVenus desperately as SDragon nods firmly.
"In a minute, SVenus-chan.",says SDragon as she points her staff straight at SVenus while DragonK deals with the youma.
"Spirit Staff, Air come forth and lend me your strength. I ask that you undo these medical needles. So mote it be!",says SDragon as the yellow stone starts glowing brightly and then the needles all start glowing yellow too.
Suddenly the wind starts to blow and makes the needles let SVenus go while they are stuck into a nearby wall easily.
Soon the wind stops blowing and SVenus can move her arms and legs.
"That was amazing, SDragon-kun.",says SVenus very surprised as SDragon just nods and helps DragonK.
"Need some help, Dragon-kun?",asks SDragon as he nods firmly.
"Spirit Staff...Sword COMBINE!!",shouts SDragon and DragonK together as they're weapons both glow a bright silver light.
Then they point their weapons directly at the youma as it turns to dust without even having enough time to scream.
Esmeraude glares at the senshi and her knight dangerously.
"*I* will be back, mark my words senshis and knight.",hisses Esmeraude as SDragon nods firmly.
"As you wish.",hisses SDragon and then Esmeraude disappears quickly.
Then SDragon drops to the floor and detransforms.
"Star-kun, you'd better...",says SVenus worried as Sarah shakes her head.
"He already knows or else I wouldn't have done it. The others should be well now.",says Sarah calmly as DragonK helps her up.
"How would you know, Star-kun?",asks DragonK as she just smiles at him.
"I just do. Are you going back to school or are you going back to your apartment?",says Sarah calmly as she yawns
slightly.
"What are you going to do?",asks DragonK as he detransforms.
"Usagi's house probably.Why do you want to come along?",says Sarah as she blushes slightly.
"Hai, if that's okay with you though.",says Ryan calmly as SVenus smiles michieviously.
"Hai, if you can keep up with my fast walking.",says Sarah as Ryan nods firmly while the two get out of the hospital building and walk towards Usagi's house.
At Usagi's house...Sarah rings the doorbell as Usagi opens the front door.
"Star-kun, what are you doing here?",asks Usagi surprised.
"You okay, Usagi-chan?",asks Sarah concerned as Usagi nods and then looks at Ryan curious to meet a new friend of Sarah's.
"Usagi-chan, this is Hale Ryan-kun. He goes to Tokyo Institute with me.",says Sarah calmly as Ryan bows his head to Usagi.
"It's nice to meet you, Hale-kun.",says Usagi poiletly as Sarah senses Chibi-Usa running up to her very fast behind her.
She turns around and instantly catches Chibi-Usa happily.
"Sarah-chan, Minako-kun is sick with the flu so is Artemis-kun.",says Chibi-Usa as Sarah nods sympathetically.
"Hai, do they want our help?",asks Sarah calmly as Chibi-Usa nods firmly.
"Hai, Minako-kun says that she doesn't care as long as we help her get well quickly.",says Chibi-Usa calmly as Sarah nods.
"I don't know, Chibi-chan.",says Sarah skeptical.
"Aw, come on Sarah-chan. She just wants our help.",says Chibi-Usa annoyed as Usagi shakes her head angerily.
"What's wrong, Usagi-chan?",asks Ryan as Usagi glares at Chibi-Usa.
"She doesn't approve of me and Sarah-chan doing spells together. She thinks that Sarah-chan's teaching me black magick but I've told her that Wicca isn't bad. She doesn't believe me.",says Chibi-Usa as Sarah looks hurt but
glares at Usagi dangerously.
"Usagi-chan, when I casted that circle to protect you guys did you think that it was evil then?",asks Sarah trying to remain calm.
"No, but this is different.",says Usagi as she tries to start an arrugement but ends up failing.
"Why is it different then last time? Try to keep an open mind about different things. Come on Chibi-chan. You can come if you want, Ryan-kun and Usagi-chan.",asks Sarah as Chibi-Usa takes Sarah's hand happily while they walk towards Minako's house.
At Minako's house...Chibi-Usa knocks on the door as Minako's mom opens it for
them quietly.
Ryan tags along too but Sarah can sense that he isn't a real believer but at least he's open minded after meeting Jet Smith at the semi-final and final race.
They walk up the stairs and open Minako's door.
"Chibi-Usa-chan, did you bring Star-kun with you?",asks Minako hoarsely as Chibi-Usa nods happily.
"Hai, Minako-kun and Hale-kun's here too. He wants to watch.",says Chibi-Usa calmly as Ryan sits down on a nearby chair.
Sarah sits next to Minako's bed indian style quietly as she takes deep slow breathes while closing her eyes.
Once her heart beat is in syc with her breathing she opens her eyes slowly.
"Chibi-chan, can I barrow your Luna-P Ball for a minute? I didn't bring my supplies with me.",says Sarah calmly as Chibi-Usa nods and her Luna-P appears in front of her head.
Sarah notices that Luna-P also has it's cresent moon symbol in the middle of it's eyebrows too.
Sarah looks at the cat shaped ball and it instantly hoovers closer to her until it's next to her.
"Luna-P, healing herbs in a smudge stick.",says Sarah calmly as Luna-P's eyes glow a pink
color.
Once they stop glowing a small lite smudge stick that's wrapped in an light blue dyed
leather strap that's criss crossed around the non burning part and tied in a knot.
Sarah takes the smudge stick and holds it in her left hand.
"Just breathe in as much as both of you can without coughing, Minako-chan and Artemis-kun.",says Sarah as she waves it around equally on Minako and Artemis.
Artemis purrs happily as he ends up falling asleep peacefully to the sweet smells.
Minako can smell some woody smells and a little bit of something that she doesn't know.
She closes her eyes and ends up dreaming that she's in a wooded forest.
After they are both asleep...Sarah gets up and relaxes her legs since they had almost fallen asleep.
Sarah gets Luna-P to put out the smudge stick.
"What did you do, Sarah-kun?",asks Usagi curiously.
"I used a smudge stick that helps people fall asleep. They're bodies will do the rest.",says Sarah calmly as the smudge stick then disappears while Luna-P goes back to Chibi-Usa and vanishes all together.
"I thought that you were going to make a miracle happen, Sarah-kun.",says Usagi slightly embaressed as Sarah shakes her head.
"I'm only human and I try to do whatever I can.",says Sarah as she gets up and looks at Minako and Artemis
who are both snoring quietly.
"So what kind of magic can you do, Star-kun?",asks Ryan as Sarah stares at him.
"What do you mean by that?",asks Sarah defensively.
"Nani? I thought that it was a simple of enough question to answer.",says Ryan confused.
"I don't like people asking what kind of magick I can do because it kind of takes away the purpose of using it. I don't do magick to show off what I can do.",says Sarah slightly annoyed.
"So you're kind of like a magician that never tells his secrets?",asks Ryan as both Chibi-Usa and Sarah glare at him angerily.
"Don't put me in the same category with those phonys. What I do isn't for entertainment, Ryan-kun.",says Sarah
angerily.
"Gomen. So it's a *real* religion?",says Ryan amazed as Sarah nods firmly.
"It was proclaimed a religion in 1985 along with all of the other religions but baka people still seem to think
of it as something to scare kids at night so that they'll go to bed.",says Sarah.
"Chibi-Usa-chan, do you believe in this religion too?",asks Usagi causiously but she's trying to act calm about it.
"Hai, I have for a long time. Sarah's futureself taught it to me when I was really young. With Momma's permission she'd take me in the public forests to teach about the different herbs and the trees every morning. It was really fun and she'd always quiz on the them often.",says Chibi-Usa happily.
"It's getting late. I'd better go back home.",says Sarah as she looks outside.
The sun's about to set in the sky.
"I'll walk you to your apartment, Star-kun.",says Ryan as Sarah looks at him to see if he's honest about his offer.
"If you must.",says Sarah calmly as he nods and walks with her out of Minako's house.
"Things are about to change in my home.",says Chibi-Usa happily but Usagi doesn't get it.
At her apartment room number..."Pretty nice. How could you afford it?",says Ryan
curiously as Sarah agrees.
"Me and my friends pull our own money together to pay for the rent. I need to get a part time job near here if I want to continue to stay here.",says Sarah as Ryan understands.
"So do you have a job, Ryan-kun?",asks Sarah.
"Nope, my parents have to wire me some money every month so that I can pay the bills.",says Ryan calmly as Sarah shakes her head.
"It must be easy then for you.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan looks very confused.
"What did I say wrong now, Star-kun?",asks Ryan confused.
"It must be hard being rich and having your parents just hand you over their money so that you can pay the rent for your apartment!",says Sarah angerily.
"My life's been hard lately with juggling school and protecting your sorry butt everyday!",says Ryan angerily as Sarah glares at him dangerously.
"Well maybe I don't need somebody to 'protect my sorry butt everyday', Hale-kun. How do you think it was for me? I had to travel all over the States to find my team and then I had to move to here. Not being able to see my Mom or my pets everyday really sucks most of all. You know Hale-kun I *almost* thought that I would be brave and ask you
out on on a date this Saturday but I see that it's going to be cancelled because of your stupidity.",hisses Sarah angerily as she slams the door in his face once she's inside.
Once she's inside her apartment room...'The others are gone. I don't sense their senshi energies here except for
Macha's.',says Sarah to herself as she sits on the couch exhusted from yelling and putting so much energy into it.
Sarah ends up falling asleep on the couch as Macha checks on her friend quietly.
'She's upset about something. It must be about Hale-kun and something that he said to her. It'll take time, Sarah-chan.',says Macha to herself as she can now hear her friend snoring lightly.
A few hours later...Sarah wakes up to something but she can't put her finger on it.
Then she hears the phone ring and answers it sleepily.
"Moshi :yawn: moshi.",says Sarah sleepily as she rubs the sleep out of her eyes with her free hand.
"Sarah-kun, this is Usagi-chan. I was just going to tell you that Chibi-Usa-chan is going to try and sent us all to where she lives tomorrow night. We all want you to come and tell Hale-kun when you see him at your school tomorrow. Your friends already know about it but they wanted me to remind you about it in case they don't get a chance to tell you. Ja ne and have a nice nap, Sarah-kun.",says Usagi bubbly as Sarah nods and tries to wake up fully.
Once Usagi hangs up her phone Sarah hangs up her phone sleepily.
"Hey Sarah-chan so you're finally awake? Gomen for not picking up the phone but it would have been a little weird in case it wasn't a senshi or your knight. So how are you feeling today?",asks Macha curiously as Sarah just nods
firmly.
"Okay. Why, Macha-chan?",says Sarah causiously.
"You seemed upset in your sleep, Sarah-chan. Was it Hale-kun again?",says Macha as Sarah nods solemly.
"Hai, we kind of had a fight.",says Sarah as she tells her friend about what was said on both ends.
After she finishes telling Macha the story..."You were about to ask him on a date? Does he feel the same way about you, Sarah-chan? Where is he now? Do you know?",asks Macha calmly as Sarah blushes slightly.
"Hai, I thought that I'd give it a chance at least since he was nice enough to walk me here. I don't know if he does or not. Don't know and don't care. No, I don't.",says Sarah calmly as her cheeks return to normal.
Then she hears somebody banging their head against the wall and saying baka over and over.
She opens the door to see Ryan continously banging his head against the wall a block away.
He stops banging his head when he looks up to seeing Sarah looking back at him concerned.
"Knock it off.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan glares at her.
"Why should I? Or are you just going to yell at me some more?",asks Ryan angerily as Sarah walks up towards him.
"Because you'll end up giving yourself a coma if you keep it up. Gomen for getting mad at you when you said that your folks sent you rent money but you pissed me off because none of us had it easy and it made me miss my old life that I used to have in the States. Gomen for jumping to conclusions all of the time, I do that occasionally when I don't get all of the facts.",says Sarah calmly as she sits next to him.
"Gomen that I said that I didn't want to protect you anymore but I had no right to put you in with my
problems. Do you miss the States, Sarah-kun?",says Ryan as he stops banging his head.
"Hai, alot. I had friends and family there but they wouldn't understand even if I could tell them. It would be too
akward to try and explain it. Oh and Usagi-chan wanted me to tell you that Chibi-chan's going to try and
take us to the future tomorrow night. Minna's going to be there.",says Sarah calmly.
"I'll be there, Sarah-kun.",says Ryan as he looks at her straight in her eyes.
Sarah blushes brightly & asks,"Do you wanna go out in the after school tomorrow?" as Ryan nods firmly.
"Hai, that'd be great. Where do you want to go?",says Ryan happily as Sarah stops blushing and shrugs.
"I don't know.",says Sarah trying to act calm.
The next day...Sarah and Ryan get out of school as he takes her to a small cafe.
Inside of the cafe...They both order a cafe latte and talk while their orders are brought to
them.
As they are waiting for their coffees..."So what made you change your mind?",asks Ryan as
Sarah shrugs.
"I decided that I wasn't going to let this rule my life. I wanted to take a chance with asking you out and it worked.",says Sarah calmly.
"I'm glad that you did. I should have told you earlier who I really was but I wasn't sure if you were the one.",says Ryan as they lean in for a kiss slowly but then they both stop when they sense something together.
"Sometimes these senses have the worst timing.",says Ryan as Sarah agrees firmly.
"Hai, I'll get our coffees to go. Tell me if it's close by here.",says Sarah as Ryan nods and looks around.
Sarah grabs their coffees carefully as she walks towards her new boyfriend.
"Got anything yet?",asks Sarah as she starts drinking her coffee slowly.
"Nope, you?",says Ryan as she hands him his coffee.
"Kind of but there's something wrong over there.",says Sarah as she points to the Animal Sanctuary.
"Let's go check it out then.",says Ryan as they go into an alley and transform together while holding onto their coffee cups carefully.
SDragon finishes off her cup and throws it away in a trashcan.
DragonK does the same as they both teleport together.
Inside the Animal Sanctuary...SDragon and DragonK see a bunch of dogs and cats doing tricks.
"Cool show.",says DragonK as SDragon shakes her head.
"That's not normal.They look like they're being hypnotized.",says SDragon as she sees a cute little
siemse kitten walking on it's two back legs like a human.
"Well well, what do we have here? Transpassers. Get them!",says a woman that looks like she's dressed up as a cat for Samhaim (or Halloween, All Hallows Eve which ever you prefer).
Then suddenly all of the animals that were doing tricks stop what they are doing instantly and try to attack SDragon and DragonK.
"Earth, come to my aid.",says a female voice as the ground suddenly moves and creates a large wall of dirt.
The cats and dogs are trapped as the cat woman youma glares at SUnicorn who comes out of her hiding place along with Freyja, SMermaid, Suelta, SSnake, Pyralis, SButterfly, Athene, Macha and Arwan.
"You will pay for turning these animalssss into mindlessss dronesss.",hisses SSnake as they each call upon their own elements powers.
"Earth!",shouts SUnicorn.
"Air!",shouts SButterfly.
"Fire!",shouts SSnake.
"Water!",SMermaid.
"Spirit...COMBINE!",shouts SDragon & DragonK together as their powers combine and create a huge ball that glows with their element's color.
It speeds towards the youma as it turns to dust and
all of the animals are back to normal.
SUnicorn puts the dirt wall back to normal too as the cute little seimese kitten runs up to SDragon happily.
SDragon looks at the kitten closely and smiles as she scratches it's ears.
The kitten mews cutely as it then rubs it's body against SDragon's scaley
legs.
SDragon laughes lightly as she pets the kitten.
"Kawaii.",says SDragon excitedly as she sits down to pet the kitten more comfortably.
"I didn't know that you're a cat person.",says SButterfly as SDragon shrugs.
"Kind of but I like both equally. My dad's the major cat lover of the family. He loves black cats so I've had a few black cats growing up.",says SDragon calmly as she gives the kitten an eskimo kiss softly.
"Maybe you should adopt it, Dragon-chan?",asks SMermaid as SDragon shrugs.
"I don't know. What if there are more youma attacks and she gets it outside of the building?",says SDragon causiously as the kitten mews loudly now.
SDragon scratches it's head to calm it down and then it falls asleep in her lap.
"So you can teach it not to. How did you know that it was a girl?",says DragonK as SDragon shrugs.
"Cats aren't like dogs, Dragon-kun. Besides I already have Artty-chan and Brigy-chan but too bad that they have to get stuck with Mom back home.",says SDragon a little despressed now.
"So why don't you take them back with you? How hard can that be?",asks DragonK confused as SDragon crosses arms across her chest annoyed.
"Drop it, DragonK-kun. She doesn't want to talk about it.",hisses SMermaid as DragonK shakes his
head.
"Why are *you* always talking for her when she's capable of saying things without your help?",asks DragonK annoyed as SMermaid looks hurt.
"Leave her alone, Dragon-kun. She knows me that's all.",says SDragon annoyed as she removes the kitten from her lap and sets it carefully on the ground.
She dusts her skirt off and looks at SMermaid concerned.
"Mermaid-chan?",asks SDragon concerned as SMermaid looks into her friend's eyes.
"I'm okay, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as she tries to put up a front.
"Don't close me off too, Mer-chan.",says SDragon as SMermaid nods sadly.
"You miss your home too?",asks SDragon as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Christmas is coming up soon.You can go back home if you want. You know that I'm not going to stop you.",says SDragon in a serious tone as SMermaid nods firmly.
"I'm not going to live there again, Dragon-chan. Hai, I know that. I like it here and I might get a boyfriend *if he just hurries up already and shows himself to me*.",says SMermaid as SDragon raises her eyebrows slightly and casts
out her senses.
"You think that *he's* the one?",asks SDragon curiously as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Hai.",says SMermaid as she sees her and her friends' necklaces all glowing a light blue color
brightly.
"Very brave, Mer-chan.",says SDragon calmly as SMermaid nods solemly.
"It takes time, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as SDragon blushes slightly.
"*Actaully* we were on a date when the senses went up.",says SDragon blushing brighter now as she remembers that they would have kissed if they hadn't had both picked up the bad vibes right in the middle of it.
"Bad timing?",hisses SSnake as SDragon nods firmly while DragonK tries to stop from blushing now.
"That bad? Were you guys about to kiss or something?",asks SButterfly curiously as SDragon
nods and puts up her index finger.
"Shall we continue our date, Dragon-kun?",asks DragonK as he offers his arm to her.
"Macha, what do you sense of your senshi?",asks Arwan curiously.
"Very strong love but she's still afraid of getting hurt. I hope she doesn't.",says Macha worried.
"She won't, Macha. She's in good hands. He likes her too and he's confident that nothing will go wrong on their date.",says Arwan calmly as Macha shakes her head.
"Your knight obvisely doesn't know my senshi at all but things are always changing. Just as long as he doesn't ask her about her ex everything will go smoothly.",says Macha calmly as Arwan smiles.
SDragon blushes and accepts as they teleport together.
Near the cafe...SDragon & DragonK detransform as they go inside.
Inside of the cafe...They decide to order dinner and look at their menus.
"So what kind of animals are Artty-chan and Brigy-chan, Sarah-chan?",asks Ryan curiously.
"Arrty-chan is a male Himalyian cat and Brigy-chan is a female chocolate toy poodle. I left them to stay with my Mom while I'm staying here.",says Sarah calmly.
"Do you have a Dad too or is he out of the picture?",asks Ryan as he's trying to get a conversation going.
"Hai, but he's always been on business trips since I was little. He was really helpful with computers and that's about all that I know about him.",says Sarah solemly.
"That must be rough to have a father but he's always leaving, Sarah-chan.",says Ryan sympathetically as Sarah
shrugs.
"Nani? It doesn't really matter to me, Ryan-chan.",says Sarah calmly.
"So what about your life, Ryan-chan?",asks Sarah curiously since she doesn't want to tell him her whole life story
starting with her pets and her parents all in one sitting.
"My dad was a rich drunk basically so that's another reason why I left too. My mom died when I was only 8 years old.",says Ryan.
"Any pets?",asks Sarah as Ryan smiles slightly.
"Is that all that you care about are the pets of the family?",asks Ryan jokingly as Sarah shakes her head.
"Nope, but I don't want to bring up any painful memories.",says Sarah as Ryan is surprised.
"You certainly aren't like many girls that I know, Sarah-chan.",says Ryan as Sarah nods happily and then she frowns slightly.
"Hai, somebody else told me that too once.",says Sarah quietly as Ryan wonder what happened to make her change
her emotions so quickly.
"Your ex?",asks Ryan concerned as Sarah nods embaressedly.
"Hai, but he's in the past where he needs to stay.",says Sarah as she gets all misty eyed just thinking about
him and what he did.
"What did he do that was so bad?",asks Ryan worried because he never sees her cry in front of anyone.
"That's none of your business.",says Sarah getting into her defensive mode.
"But I want to help you to talk about it to someone. It'll make you feel better.",says Ryan as Sarah nods.
"Hai, but it never will go away completely. That's the bad thing about bad breakups. ",says Sarah sadly.
"How long did it go on for?",asks Ryan worried.
"Almost a full year. He was nothing but a very confused and angry teenager that had family problems. He should have done more couseling in his teenage years but that probably wouldn't have worked either. I should have broken up with him completely in 5 days but I was really baka back then. I'd break up and then he'd break up but then we'd always end up getting back together. It was all a mistake that shouldn't have happened to begin with but then again I would still be the naive high schooler that you sits across from you at this very moment. Honestly I'm afraid that if we do get back together and start becoming a couple again that you'll try to mess with my head. Whatever you do don't mess with my spirit, the mental scars haven't healed yet. I couldn't take another person trying to open up the
wounds that my first boyfriend left, Ryan-chan. Argito for waiting for me to being brave about dating again.",says Sarah as she starts crying now.
Ryan immediately gets up from his seat and sits next to her.
She instintively puts her head on his chest and cries on his shirt as he hugs her comfortingly.
'If he even comes near her again then he's going to have answer to me. He's hurt too much and it's still there clearly for her to think about constantly. I love you too much to hurt you, Sarah-chan.',says Ryan to himself as he waves away their waiter that is about to come near their table.
The waiter leaves as Ryan holds her in his arms for a good full hour.
Sarah raises her head from Ryan's chest and looks into his eyes.
"Argito Ryan-chan for listening to me. I try to not cry in front of people. It shows that I have a weakness. Gomen I made you sit here all of this time without even having dinner with you.",says Sarah softly as Ryan looks into her eyes too.
"We can always do this later. Come on it's getting late. I'll walk you home.",says Ryan as Sarah nods and they walk
out of the cafe.
As they are walking to Sarah's apartment building..."Ryan-chan, why have you been following me lately?",asks Sarah in a serious voice.
"I wanted to make sure that you were safe.",says Ryan simply.
"How did you feel when Brigit-chan bite you on the leg? Did it hurt?",asks Sarah curiously as Ryan shakes his head.
"I was surprised to know that such a small dog was so protective of you. Not really but it did leave a little scar just above my ankle.",says Ryan calmly.
"Do you ever wonder what we were like in our past lives, Ryan-chan?",asks Sarah curiously as she looks up at the waning moon
"Nope because they died a long time ago. Do you?",says Ryan as Sarah nods.
"Sometimes when I fall asleep I dream about it.",says Sarah as Ryan raises his eyebrows suspiciously.
"What are you a dream pysic?",asks Ryan as Sarah shakes her head.
"I bet you have weird dreams that you can't explain either.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan shakes his head firmly.
"If I do then I always just forget them. So when did you become Wiccan?",says Ryan as
Sarah smiles slightly.
"2 years ago.Why?",says Sarah calmly.
After DragonK & Arwan disappear...SDragon opens her eyes and looks around confused.
"Welcome back, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as SDragon looks confused.
"Nani? Did I pass out again?",asks SDragon as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Hai, Dragon-chan. You should take a nap when we get home.",says SMermaid as she helps her friend up and then they teleport back to the apartment.
"Hai, that sounds like a good idea.",says SDragon calmly as she remembers a little about what happened earlier.
In Sarah's room...She detransforms and gets into her p.j.'s as she crawls into bed.
Once Sarah is in REM..."So Macha who's Arwan? Was he your boyfriend in your past?",asks Isaura curiously after they all detransformed.
"He was a friend. No, it wasn't like that at all, Isaura-chan.",says Macha as she kind of blushes at the though of her and Arwan as lovers.
"So you were both loyal to Sarah-chan and Hale-kun in their pasts? I wish we knew more about our pasts but I'm glad to be a senshi.",says Isaura calmly.
"Hai, very much so as well as to the King and Queen. You all will soon enough when you find your other partners, Isuara-chan.",says Macha calmly.
"Why doesn't Sarah-chan if she already has her knight?",asks Allisa concerned.
"I'm not sure. Something must have effected her in the present.",says Macha worried as Allisa nods firmly.
"It was her baka ex. She doesn't like to bring him up very often.",says Allisa.
"Why? What did he do to her?",asks Tasida concerned.
"He messed with her head. He had family problems and he'd sometimes call her on the phone and start yelling at her for no good reason. He was a real baka to her. Unfortunately, he was her first boyfriend too so now she's afraid of guys but she won't admit it.",says Allisa angerily.
"She needs to start dating guys.",says Egan firmly as Allisa shakes her head sadly.
"It's not that easy. She probably thinks that the next guy will do the same thing to her.",says Allisa as they all go to bed while the guardians change into their Earth forms.
The next day...Sarah gets up and gets ready for school.
At school...she notices that everybody is either gone or they have on medical masks around their mouths and noses.
'Either Esmeraude-baka infected all of Tokyo with a majorly bad flu virus or else this school is seriously messed up.',says Sarah as Ryan looks around too.
"Look at :cough cough: them, minna. They aren't :wiping his nose: sick.",says a jock as he wipes his nose angerily.
"I just have a healthy emunsystem. You're just jealous.",says Sarah annoyed as the jock glares at her angerily.
"Sure but why do you always have desserts in your lunch everyday you come to the lunch room?",asks the jock as Sarah raises an eyebrow at him suspiciously.
"I like my desserts, arigato.",says Sarah annoyed as the jock gets up and walks over to her desk angerily.
Sarah just stares up at the jock calmly.
"You're lucky that I'm too sick to beat you up or else I would right now. When I get better then you're dead.",hisses the jock as Sarah just shoos him off.
"Go tell that to someone who cares, baka.",says Sarah angerily as Ryan looks at her amazed that she'd say something like that to the toughtest kid in their college.
"Do you always try to cause this much trouble in the States or are you seriously insane?",whispers Ryan quietly as Sarah looks at him slyly.
"Mostly but I'm not insane. I like seeing people go nuts. I also like to see their eyes bulge out an inch from their shockets and to see their faces turn bright red. It's very amusing.",says Sarah calmly as Ryan shakes his head.
"You enjoy that, don't you?",asks Ryan in a serious tone as Sarah nods firmly.
"Hai, I do.",says Sarah in a serious voice.
"One of these days you're going to need to stop saying stuff to make people mad.",says
Ryan as Sarah agrees.
"HEY!I'M :coughes and spurts a little: *NOT* :more coughing: DONE WITH YOU YET, STAR-KUN!",yells the jock angerily as he finds out that he doesn't like to be ignored by a girl.
"Class is dismissed since I'm too sick. I knew that I should have stayed home. What was I thinking?",says the teacher as he starts coughing really bad from even talking.
As soon as they get out of their classroom...The jock grabs Sarah's backpack and slams her into a locker.
"That's for ignoring me earlier to talk to Hale-kun.",says the jock angerily as Sarah takes off her backpack and checks the bump on her forhead.
It stings but Sarah has more important things to worry about right now.
"That's it. I've had enough of being pushed around like a rag doll.",hisses Sarah angerily as she gets into her fighting stance.
"Aw, look like Star-kun wants to fight me.",says the jock sarcastically.
"Stop talking, baka so I can get this over with. I have other things to do besides dealing with you.",hisses Sarah as the jock laughes but then ends up coughing hard.
Then once he gets into his fighting stance..."It's your funeral, Star-kun.",says the jock as Sarah smiles
slyly at him.
He tries to punch her but he misses and she kicks him hard in the stomach.
He falls down right on his butt as Sarah puts her backpack back on her shoulders.
"Let's get out of here, Hale-kun. Obvisely nobody's going to help him up.",says Sarah as Ryan nods numbly while they run out of their college and towards the Tokyo Hospital.
At the hospital..."Aren't we going to be in trouble, Star-kun?",asks Ryan as Sarah shakes her head.
"Are you afraid of the principal, Hale-kun?",asks Sarah annoyed as she transforms into SDragon.
"No, I'm *not* afraid of that old hag. I just don't want to get into detention and be stuck in there for a few hours, that's all.",says Ryan as he transforms into Dragon Knight.
"We may have broken up but that doesn't mean that I don't know when you're lieing.",says SDragon in a serious voice as DragonK looks at her strangely.
"So does this mean...?",asks DragonK curiously but he's cut off when they hear Chibi-Usa screaming.
"Spirit Dragon, come forth!",shouts SDragon as a huge dragon comes from her palm and destroys a
medical needle just as Chibi-Usa trips on a crack in the marbled floor.
"Dragon-chan, help! That Esmeraude-baka is here with her youma again and minna-chan's sick.",says Chibi-Usa as Spirit Dragon returns into SDragon's palm.
Chibi-Usa gets up quickly and hugs her friend thankfully.
"Is SVenus-chan here too, Chibi-chan?",asks SDragon calmly as Chibi-Usa nods firmly.
"Hai, I can sense her energy too. She's the only one that's not sick. Are the others okay?",says Chibi-Usa as
SDragon puts her down on the ground.
"Kamen-kun's here too.",says DragonK as SDragon nods firmly.
"His element is strong too but his attacks are weak.",says SDragon in a serious voice as Chibi-Usa nods.
"He doesn't believe in the Old Ways like me and you do.",says Chibi-Usa as SDragon looks surprised.
"You gave up your own religion, Chibi-chan?",asks SDragon as Chibi-Usa nods firmly."Hai, but that was in the future. Come on *we* gotta destroy that youma of Esmeraude's.",says Chibi-Usa as SDragon nods firmly.
"You're staying with Kamen-kun, Chibi-chan.",says SDragon as Chibi-Usa nods firmly and jumps down.
She runs into Tuxedo Kamen's arms and he picks her up.
"You ready, Dragon-kun?",asks DragonK as SDragon nods and gets out her staff.
"Hai, let's go. This should be fun.",says SDragon as they see that the youmas has SVenus pinned with alot of needles to a wall.
"Minna-kun, help me.",says SVenus desperately as SDragon nods firmly.
"In a minute, SVenus-chan.",says SDragon as she points her staff straight at SVenus while DragonK deals with the youma.
"Spirit Staff, Air come forth and lend me your strength. I ask that you undo these medical needles. So mote it be!",says SDragon as the yellow stone starts glowing brightly and then the needles all start glowing yellow too.
Suddenly the wind starts to blow and makes the needles let SVenus go while they are stuck into a nearby wall easily.
Soon the wind stops blowing and SVenus can move her arms and legs.
"That was amazing, SDragon-kun.",says SVenus very surprised as SDragon just nods and helps DragonK.
"Need some help, Dragon-kun?",asks SDragon as he nods firmly.
"Spirit Staff...Sword COMBINE!!",shouts SDragon and DragonK together as they're weapons both glow a bright silver light.
Then they point their weapons directly at the youma as it turns to dust without even having enough time to scream.
Esmeraude glares at the senshi and her knight dangerously.
"*I* will be back, mark my words senshis and knight.",hisses Esmeraude as SDragon nods firmly.
"As you wish.",hisses SDragon and then Esmeraude disappears quickly.
Then SDragon drops to the floor and detransforms.
"Star-kun, you'd better...",says SVenus worried as Sarah shakes her head.
"He already knows or else I wouldn't have done it. The others should be well now.",says Sarah calmly as DragonK helps her up.
"How would you know, Star-kun?",asks DragonK as she just smiles at him.
"I just do. Are you going back to school or are you going back to your apartment?",says Sarah calmly as she yawns
slightly.
"What are you going to do?",asks DragonK as he detransforms.
"Usagi's house probably.Why do you want to come along?",says Sarah as she blushes slightly.
"Hai, if that's okay with you though.",says Ryan calmly as SVenus smiles michieviously.
"Hai, if you can keep up with my fast walking.",says Sarah as Ryan nods firmly while the two get out of the hospital building and walk towards Usagi's house.
At Usagi's house...Sarah rings the doorbell as Usagi opens the front door.
"Star-kun, what are you doing here?",asks Usagi surprised.
"You okay, Usagi-chan?",asks Sarah concerned as Usagi nods and then looks at Ryan curious to meet a new friend of Sarah's.
"Usagi-chan, this is Hale Ryan-kun. He goes to Tokyo Institute with me.",says Sarah calmly as Ryan bows his head to Usagi.
"It's nice to meet you, Hale-kun.",says Usagi poiletly as Sarah senses Chibi-Usa running up to her very fast behind her.
She turns around and instantly catches Chibi-Usa happily.
"Sarah-chan, Minako-kun is sick with the flu so is Artemis-kun.",says Chibi-Usa as Sarah nods sympathetically.
"Hai, do they want our help?",asks Sarah calmly as Chibi-Usa nods firmly.
"Hai, Minako-kun says that she doesn't care as long as we help her get well quickly.",says Chibi-Usa calmly as Sarah nods.
"I don't know, Chibi-chan.",says Sarah skeptical.
"Aw, come on Sarah-chan. She just wants our help.",says Chibi-Usa annoyed as Usagi shakes her head angerily.
"What's wrong, Usagi-chan?",asks Ryan as Usagi glares at Chibi-Usa.
"She doesn't approve of me and Sarah-chan doing spells together. She thinks that Sarah-chan's teaching me black magick but I've told her that Wicca isn't bad. She doesn't believe me.",says Chibi-Usa as Sarah looks hurt but
glares at Usagi dangerously.
"Usagi-chan, when I casted that circle to protect you guys did you think that it was evil then?",asks Sarah trying to remain calm.
"No, but this is different.",says Usagi as she tries to start an arrugement but ends up failing.
"Why is it different then last time? Try to keep an open mind about different things. Come on Chibi-chan. You can come if you want, Ryan-kun and Usagi-chan.",asks Sarah as Chibi-Usa takes Sarah's hand happily while they walk towards Minako's house.
At Minako's house...Chibi-Usa knocks on the door as Minako's mom opens it for
them quietly.
Ryan tags along too but Sarah can sense that he isn't a real believer but at least he's open minded after meeting Jet Smith at the semi-final and final race.
They walk up the stairs and open Minako's door.
"Chibi-Usa-chan, did you bring Star-kun with you?",asks Minako hoarsely as Chibi-Usa nods happily.
"Hai, Minako-kun and Hale-kun's here too. He wants to watch.",says Chibi-Usa calmly as Ryan sits down on a nearby chair.
Sarah sits next to Minako's bed indian style quietly as she takes deep slow breathes while closing her eyes.
Once her heart beat is in syc with her breathing she opens her eyes slowly.
"Chibi-chan, can I barrow your Luna-P Ball for a minute? I didn't bring my supplies with me.",says Sarah calmly as Chibi-Usa nods and her Luna-P appears in front of her head.
Sarah notices that Luna-P also has it's cresent moon symbol in the middle of it's eyebrows too.
Sarah looks at the cat shaped ball and it instantly hoovers closer to her until it's next to her.
"Luna-P, healing herbs in a smudge stick.",says Sarah calmly as Luna-P's eyes glow a pink
color.
Once they stop glowing a small lite smudge stick that's wrapped in an light blue dyed
leather strap that's criss crossed around the non burning part and tied in a knot.
Sarah takes the smudge stick and holds it in her left hand.
"Just breathe in as much as both of you can without coughing, Minako-chan and Artemis-kun.",says Sarah as she waves it around equally on Minako and Artemis.
Artemis purrs happily as he ends up falling asleep peacefully to the sweet smells.
Minako can smell some woody smells and a little bit of something that she doesn't know.
She closes her eyes and ends up dreaming that she's in a wooded forest.
After they are both asleep...Sarah gets up and relaxes her legs since they had almost fallen asleep.
Sarah gets Luna-P to put out the smudge stick.
"What did you do, Sarah-kun?",asks Usagi curiously.
"I used a smudge stick that helps people fall asleep. They're bodies will do the rest.",says Sarah calmly as the smudge stick then disappears while Luna-P goes back to Chibi-Usa and vanishes all together.
"I thought that you were going to make a miracle happen, Sarah-kun.",says Usagi slightly embaressed as Sarah shakes her head.
"I'm only human and I try to do whatever I can.",says Sarah as she gets up and looks at Minako and Artemis
who are both snoring quietly.
"So what kind of magic can you do, Star-kun?",asks Ryan as Sarah stares at him.
"What do you mean by that?",asks Sarah defensively.
"Nani? I thought that it was a simple of enough question to answer.",says Ryan confused.
"I don't like people asking what kind of magick I can do because it kind of takes away the purpose of using it. I don't do magick to show off what I can do.",says Sarah slightly annoyed.
"So you're kind of like a magician that never tells his secrets?",asks Ryan as both Chibi-Usa and Sarah glare at him angerily.
"Don't put me in the same category with those phonys. What I do isn't for entertainment, Ryan-kun.",says Sarah
angerily.
"Gomen. So it's a *real* religion?",says Ryan amazed as Sarah nods firmly.
"It was proclaimed a religion in 1985 along with all of the other religions but baka people still seem to think
of it as something to scare kids at night so that they'll go to bed.",says Sarah.
"Chibi-Usa-chan, do you believe in this religion too?",asks Usagi causiously but she's trying to act calm about it.
"Hai, I have for a long time. Sarah's futureself taught it to me when I was really young. With Momma's permission she'd take me in the public forests to teach about the different herbs and the trees every morning. It was really fun and she'd always quiz on the them often.",says Chibi-Usa happily.
"It's getting late. I'd better go back home.",says Sarah as she looks outside.
The sun's about to set in the sky.
"I'll walk you to your apartment, Star-kun.",says Ryan as Sarah looks at him to see if he's honest about his offer.
"If you must.",says Sarah calmly as he nods and walks with her out of Minako's house.
"Things are about to change in my home.",says Chibi-Usa happily but Usagi doesn't get it.
At her apartment room number..."Pretty nice. How could you afford it?",says Ryan
curiously as Sarah agrees.
"Me and my friends pull our own money together to pay for the rent. I need to get a part time job near here if I want to continue to stay here.",says Sarah as Ryan understands.
"So do you have a job, Ryan-kun?",asks Sarah.
"Nope, my parents have to wire me some money every month so that I can pay the bills.",says Ryan calmly as Sarah shakes her head.
"It must be easy then for you.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan looks very confused.
"What did I say wrong now, Star-kun?",asks Ryan confused.
"It must be hard being rich and having your parents just hand you over their money so that you can pay the rent for your apartment!",says Sarah angerily.
"My life's been hard lately with juggling school and protecting your sorry butt everyday!",says Ryan angerily as Sarah glares at him dangerously.
"Well maybe I don't need somebody to 'protect my sorry butt everyday', Hale-kun. How do you think it was for me? I had to travel all over the States to find my team and then I had to move to here. Not being able to see my Mom or my pets everyday really sucks most of all. You know Hale-kun I *almost* thought that I would be brave and ask you
out on on a date this Saturday but I see that it's going to be cancelled because of your stupidity.",hisses Sarah angerily as she slams the door in his face once she's inside.
Once she's inside her apartment room...'The others are gone. I don't sense their senshi energies here except for
Macha's.',says Sarah to herself as she sits on the couch exhusted from yelling and putting so much energy into it.
Sarah ends up falling asleep on the couch as Macha checks on her friend quietly.
'She's upset about something. It must be about Hale-kun and something that he said to her. It'll take time, Sarah-chan.',says Macha to herself as she can now hear her friend snoring lightly.
A few hours later...Sarah wakes up to something but she can't put her finger on it.
Then she hears the phone ring and answers it sleepily.
"Moshi :yawn: moshi.",says Sarah sleepily as she rubs the sleep out of her eyes with her free hand.
"Sarah-kun, this is Usagi-chan. I was just going to tell you that Chibi-Usa-chan is going to try and sent us all to where she lives tomorrow night. We all want you to come and tell Hale-kun when you see him at your school tomorrow. Your friends already know about it but they wanted me to remind you about it in case they don't get a chance to tell you. Ja ne and have a nice nap, Sarah-kun.",says Usagi bubbly as Sarah nods and tries to wake up fully.
Once Usagi hangs up her phone Sarah hangs up her phone sleepily.
"Hey Sarah-chan so you're finally awake? Gomen for not picking up the phone but it would have been a little weird in case it wasn't a senshi or your knight. So how are you feeling today?",asks Macha curiously as Sarah just nods
firmly.
"Okay. Why, Macha-chan?",says Sarah causiously.
"You seemed upset in your sleep, Sarah-chan. Was it Hale-kun again?",says Macha as Sarah nods solemly.
"Hai, we kind of had a fight.",says Sarah as she tells her friend about what was said on both ends.
After she finishes telling Macha the story..."You were about to ask him on a date? Does he feel the same way about you, Sarah-chan? Where is he now? Do you know?",asks Macha calmly as Sarah blushes slightly.
"Hai, I thought that I'd give it a chance at least since he was nice enough to walk me here. I don't know if he does or not. Don't know and don't care. No, I don't.",says Sarah calmly as her cheeks return to normal.
Then she hears somebody banging their head against the wall and saying baka over and over.
She opens the door to see Ryan continously banging his head against the wall a block away.
He stops banging his head when he looks up to seeing Sarah looking back at him concerned.
"Knock it off.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan glares at her.
"Why should I? Or are you just going to yell at me some more?",asks Ryan angerily as Sarah walks up towards him.
"Because you'll end up giving yourself a coma if you keep it up. Gomen for getting mad at you when you said that your folks sent you rent money but you pissed me off because none of us had it easy and it made me miss my old life that I used to have in the States. Gomen for jumping to conclusions all of the time, I do that occasionally when I don't get all of the facts.",says Sarah calmly as she sits next to him.
"Gomen that I said that I didn't want to protect you anymore but I had no right to put you in with my
problems. Do you miss the States, Sarah-kun?",says Ryan as he stops banging his head.
"Hai, alot. I had friends and family there but they wouldn't understand even if I could tell them. It would be too
akward to try and explain it. Oh and Usagi-chan wanted me to tell you that Chibi-chan's going to try and
take us to the future tomorrow night. Minna's going to be there.",says Sarah calmly.
"I'll be there, Sarah-kun.",says Ryan as he looks at her straight in her eyes.
Sarah blushes brightly & asks,"Do you wanna go out in the after school tomorrow?" as Ryan nods firmly.
"Hai, that'd be great. Where do you want to go?",says Ryan happily as Sarah stops blushing and shrugs.
"I don't know.",says Sarah trying to act calm.
The next day...Sarah and Ryan get out of school as he takes her to a small cafe.
Inside of the cafe...They both order a cafe latte and talk while their orders are brought to
them.
As they are waiting for their coffees..."So what made you change your mind?",asks Ryan as
Sarah shrugs.
"I decided that I wasn't going to let this rule my life. I wanted to take a chance with asking you out and it worked.",says Sarah calmly.
"I'm glad that you did. I should have told you earlier who I really was but I wasn't sure if you were the one.",says Ryan as they lean in for a kiss slowly but then they both stop when they sense something together.
"Sometimes these senses have the worst timing.",says Ryan as Sarah agrees firmly.
"Hai, I'll get our coffees to go. Tell me if it's close by here.",says Sarah as Ryan nods and looks around.
Sarah grabs their coffees carefully as she walks towards her new boyfriend.
"Got anything yet?",asks Sarah as she starts drinking her coffee slowly.
"Nope, you?",says Ryan as she hands him his coffee.
"Kind of but there's something wrong over there.",says Sarah as she points to the Animal Sanctuary.
"Let's go check it out then.",says Ryan as they go into an alley and transform together while holding onto their coffee cups carefully.
SDragon finishes off her cup and throws it away in a trashcan.
DragonK does the same as they both teleport together.
Inside the Animal Sanctuary...SDragon and DragonK see a bunch of dogs and cats doing tricks.
"Cool show.",says DragonK as SDragon shakes her head.
"That's not normal.They look like they're being hypnotized.",says SDragon as she sees a cute little
siemse kitten walking on it's two back legs like a human.
"Well well, what do we have here? Transpassers. Get them!",says a woman that looks like she's dressed up as a cat for Samhaim (or Halloween, All Hallows Eve which ever you prefer).
Then suddenly all of the animals that were doing tricks stop what they are doing instantly and try to attack SDragon and DragonK.
"Earth, come to my aid.",says a female voice as the ground suddenly moves and creates a large wall of dirt.
The cats and dogs are trapped as the cat woman youma glares at SUnicorn who comes out of her hiding place along with Freyja, SMermaid, Suelta, SSnake, Pyralis, SButterfly, Athene, Macha and Arwan.
"You will pay for turning these animalssss into mindlessss dronesss.",hisses SSnake as they each call upon their own elements powers.
"Earth!",shouts SUnicorn.
"Air!",shouts SButterfly.
"Fire!",shouts SSnake.
"Water!",SMermaid.
"Spirit...COMBINE!",shouts SDragon & DragonK together as their powers combine and create a huge ball that glows with their element's color.
It speeds towards the youma as it turns to dust and
all of the animals are back to normal.
SUnicorn puts the dirt wall back to normal too as the cute little seimese kitten runs up to SDragon happily.
SDragon looks at the kitten closely and smiles as she scratches it's ears.
The kitten mews cutely as it then rubs it's body against SDragon's scaley
legs.
SDragon laughes lightly as she pets the kitten.
"Kawaii.",says SDragon excitedly as she sits down to pet the kitten more comfortably.
"I didn't know that you're a cat person.",says SButterfly as SDragon shrugs.
"Kind of but I like both equally. My dad's the major cat lover of the family. He loves black cats so I've had a few black cats growing up.",says SDragon calmly as she gives the kitten an eskimo kiss softly.
"Maybe you should adopt it, Dragon-chan?",asks SMermaid as SDragon shrugs.
"I don't know. What if there are more youma attacks and she gets it outside of the building?",says SDragon causiously as the kitten mews loudly now.
SDragon scratches it's head to calm it down and then it falls asleep in her lap.
"So you can teach it not to. How did you know that it was a girl?",says DragonK as SDragon shrugs.
"Cats aren't like dogs, Dragon-kun. Besides I already have Artty-chan and Brigy-chan but too bad that they have to get stuck with Mom back home.",says SDragon a little despressed now.
"So why don't you take them back with you? How hard can that be?",asks DragonK confused as SDragon crosses arms across her chest annoyed.
"Drop it, DragonK-kun. She doesn't want to talk about it.",hisses SMermaid as DragonK shakes his
head.
"Why are *you* always talking for her when she's capable of saying things without your help?",asks DragonK annoyed as SMermaid looks hurt.
"Leave her alone, Dragon-kun. She knows me that's all.",says SDragon annoyed as she removes the kitten from her lap and sets it carefully on the ground.
She dusts her skirt off and looks at SMermaid concerned.
"Mermaid-chan?",asks SDragon concerned as SMermaid looks into her friend's eyes.
"I'm okay, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as she tries to put up a front.
"Don't close me off too, Mer-chan.",says SDragon as SMermaid nods sadly.
"You miss your home too?",asks SDragon as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Christmas is coming up soon.You can go back home if you want. You know that I'm not going to stop you.",says SDragon in a serious tone as SMermaid nods firmly.
"I'm not going to live there again, Dragon-chan. Hai, I know that. I like it here and I might get a boyfriend *if he just hurries up already and shows himself to me*.",says SMermaid as SDragon raises her eyebrows slightly and casts
out her senses.
"You think that *he's* the one?",asks SDragon curiously as SMermaid nods firmly.
"Hai.",says SMermaid as she sees her and her friends' necklaces all glowing a light blue color
brightly.
"Very brave, Mer-chan.",says SDragon calmly as SMermaid nods solemly.
"It takes time, Dragon-chan.",says SMermaid as SDragon blushes slightly.
"*Actaully* we were on a date when the senses went up.",says SDragon blushing brighter now as she remembers that they would have kissed if they hadn't had both picked up the bad vibes right in the middle of it.
"Bad timing?",hisses SSnake as SDragon nods firmly while DragonK tries to stop from blushing now.
"That bad? Were you guys about to kiss or something?",asks SButterfly curiously as SDragon
nods and puts up her index finger.
"Shall we continue our date, Dragon-kun?",asks DragonK as he offers his arm to her.
"Macha, what do you sense of your senshi?",asks Arwan curiously.
"Very strong love but she's still afraid of getting hurt. I hope she doesn't.",says Macha worried.
"She won't, Macha. She's in good hands. He likes her too and he's confident that nothing will go wrong on their date.",says Arwan calmly as Macha shakes her head.
"Your knight obvisely doesn't know my senshi at all but things are always changing. Just as long as he doesn't ask her about her ex everything will go smoothly.",says Macha calmly as Arwan smiles.
SDragon blushes and accepts as they teleport together.
Near the cafe...SDragon & DragonK detransform as they go inside.
Inside of the cafe...They decide to order dinner and look at their menus.
"So what kind of animals are Artty-chan and Brigy-chan, Sarah-chan?",asks Ryan curiously.
"Arrty-chan is a male Himalyian cat and Brigy-chan is a female chocolate toy poodle. I left them to stay with my Mom while I'm staying here.",says Sarah calmly.
"Do you have a Dad too or is he out of the picture?",asks Ryan as he's trying to get a conversation going.
"Hai, but he's always been on business trips since I was little. He was really helpful with computers and that's about all that I know about him.",says Sarah solemly.
"That must be rough to have a father but he's always leaving, Sarah-chan.",says Ryan sympathetically as Sarah
shrugs.
"Nani? It doesn't really matter to me, Ryan-chan.",says Sarah calmly.
"So what about your life, Ryan-chan?",asks Sarah curiously since she doesn't want to tell him her whole life story
starting with her pets and her parents all in one sitting.
"My dad was a rich drunk basically so that's another reason why I left too. My mom died when I was only 8 years old.",says Ryan.
"Any pets?",asks Sarah as Ryan smiles slightly.
"Is that all that you care about are the pets of the family?",asks Ryan jokingly as Sarah shakes her head.
"Nope, but I don't want to bring up any painful memories.",says Sarah as Ryan is surprised.
"You certainly aren't like many girls that I know, Sarah-chan.",says Ryan as Sarah nods happily and then she frowns slightly.
"Hai, somebody else told me that too once.",says Sarah quietly as Ryan wonder what happened to make her change
her emotions so quickly.
"Your ex?",asks Ryan concerned as Sarah nods embaressedly.
"Hai, but he's in the past where he needs to stay.",says Sarah as she gets all misty eyed just thinking about
him and what he did.
"What did he do that was so bad?",asks Ryan worried because he never sees her cry in front of anyone.
"That's none of your business.",says Sarah getting into her defensive mode.
"But I want to help you to talk about it to someone. It'll make you feel better.",says Ryan as Sarah nods.
"Hai, but it never will go away completely. That's the bad thing about bad breakups. ",says Sarah sadly.
"How long did it go on for?",asks Ryan worried.
"Almost a full year. He was nothing but a very confused and angry teenager that had family problems. He should have done more couseling in his teenage years but that probably wouldn't have worked either. I should have broken up with him completely in 5 days but I was really baka back then. I'd break up and then he'd break up but then we'd always end up getting back together. It was all a mistake that shouldn't have happened to begin with but then again I would still be the naive high schooler that you sits across from you at this very moment. Honestly I'm afraid that if we do get back together and start becoming a couple again that you'll try to mess with my head. Whatever you do don't mess with my spirit, the mental scars haven't healed yet. I couldn't take another person trying to open up the
wounds that my first boyfriend left, Ryan-chan. Argito for waiting for me to being brave about dating again.",says Sarah as she starts crying now.
Ryan immediately gets up from his seat and sits next to her.
She instintively puts her head on his chest and cries on his shirt as he hugs her comfortingly.
'If he even comes near her again then he's going to have answer to me. He's hurt too much and it's still there clearly for her to think about constantly. I love you too much to hurt you, Sarah-chan.',says Ryan to himself as he waves away their waiter that is about to come near their table.
The waiter leaves as Ryan holds her in his arms for a good full hour.
Sarah raises her head from Ryan's chest and looks into his eyes.
"Argito Ryan-chan for listening to me. I try to not cry in front of people. It shows that I have a weakness. Gomen I made you sit here all of this time without even having dinner with you.",says Sarah softly as Ryan looks into her eyes too.
"We can always do this later. Come on it's getting late. I'll walk you home.",says Ryan as Sarah nods and they walk
out of the cafe.
As they are walking to Sarah's apartment building..."Ryan-chan, why have you been following me lately?",asks Sarah in a serious voice.
"I wanted to make sure that you were safe.",says Ryan simply.
"How did you feel when Brigit-chan bite you on the leg? Did it hurt?",asks Sarah curiously as Ryan shakes his head.
"I was surprised to know that such a small dog was so protective of you. Not really but it did leave a little scar just above my ankle.",says Ryan calmly.
"Do you ever wonder what we were like in our past lives, Ryan-chan?",asks Sarah curiously as she looks up at the waning moon
"Nope because they died a long time ago. Do you?",says Ryan as Sarah nods.
"Sometimes when I fall asleep I dream about it.",says Sarah as Ryan raises his eyebrows suspiciously.
"What are you a dream pysic?",asks Ryan as Sarah shakes her head.
"I bet you have weird dreams that you can't explain either.",says Sarah annoyed as Ryan shakes his head firmly.
"If I do then I always just forget them. So when did you become Wiccan?",says Ryan as
Sarah smiles slightly.
"2 years ago.Why?",says Sarah calmly.
