Chapter 3: Suspicions.

The inners all collapsed onto the cushions after Darien and the universals had left.

Serena giggled softly and then said, ÒTheyÕre all so pretty! Especially the one with red hair.Ó

ÒNicole,Ó Mina supplied, ÒYes I like her too. I really hope she agrees to come to my modelling class.Ó

ÒWell I like Faye,Ó Lita put in, ÒI wonder if she has any good recipes she can show me.Ó

ÒTrust you to pick the cook!Ó Raye laughed, ÒYou guys are so predictable! YouÕll never change.Ó

* * * * * * * *

ÒShe hasnÕt changed much has she.Ó Janett remarked to no one in particular.

ÒWho?Ó Nicole inquired lazily.

ÒThe princess, dimwit, who did you think?Ó

ÒOh.Ó

The four newcomers had returned to their apartment after leaving the temple and were now engaged in various activities. Faye was in the small kitchenette preparing dinner and humming to herself, Miranda was engrossed in a book, Janett was doing stretches and Nicole was lying on the couch filing her nails.

ÒNo I donÕt suppose she has,Ó Nicole said after a minute, ÒStill the same old Serena.Ó

ÒDinners ready!Ó Faye called, ÒItÕs safe for you shrimp.Ó

ÒThanks Faye.Ó Miranda smiled.

ÒNo prob.Ó Faye replied, sitting at the table.

The others followed suit and began eating.

ÒSo did you figure out who sent those youma?Ó Janett said, taking a bite.

ÒI have my suspicions but I really didnÕt get enough info to confirm them.Ó Miranda replied apologetically.

ÒNever mind, theyÕll try again.Ó

They ate in silence for a few minutes when suddenly NicoleÕs face twisted with horror.

ÒYou donÕt suppose itsÉÓ

ÒNo, Nicky, no! DonÕt even say it.Ó Janett warned.

ÒBut it fits,Ó Nicole carried on, ÒYou saw the youma, TheyÕd be just the type those four would send! Is that who you suspected?Ó She turned to Miranda for support but she just bit her lip and turned away.

ÒLook, Miranda said herself that we donÕt have any proof so lets just stop jumping to conclusions ok?Ó Janett said.

Nicole sighed, ÒAlright, but I wouldnÕt put it past them.Ó

ÒFine, now lets stop worrying and finish dinner.Ó

Darien was clearly not himself. He paced around his apartment in a cold sweat, muttering to himself.

He had been plagued with dreams and headaches lately. Dreams of the silver millennium he was sure but the details escaped him and it troubled him.

He swore quietly as pain shot through his head. Slumping on the couch he looked to the heavens and heaved a sigh.

ÒSomething is definitely wrong.Ó

Well thatÕs it folky poos. Told you it was short. Anyway the next chapter will be up ASAP. YouÕll get to meet the villains the universals are so upset about.

Oh, and a reminder, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease R+R. My inbox is depressingly empty and the ads donÕt help.

Ok, until next chapter!
