Thanks to all who have review…its appreciated, I try to review yours.
The Stars are gathering
"Flight 547 to Tokyo now landing. Thank you for taking Japan Skyways, and have a nice day." Darien shook Mina awake gently, and told her they were there. Hand in hand, they boarded off of the plane, and gradually woke up as the crowd swallowed them. People were everywhere. Mina felt something big about to happen but was glad to be surrounded by Japanese instead of English, or 'American' as some people had called it. Darien was happy, and Mina was acting happy. She was happy when a silver haired man walked into her peripheral vision. Darien took it as she was happy to be with him. She never pictured him so emotional. It was rather disgusting. She didn't notice this until last night, as well.
"Oh my God! They are here, Umi, they are here! The star lights are here!" Mina turned at the exclamation, causing Darien to as well. "What is it, Rena?" She smiled blankly at Darien. "I knew the Star Lights before they were big. I am going to go meet them. Darien nodded noncommittally. "Sure. I'll meet you at the café." Mina began to go towards them, but a hand pulled her back. Darien was smiling innocently. "Kiss me darling." Rena smiled, and kissed him. Mina pulled away as quickly as possible.
Hotaru recognized her father, walking with Mina. That bastard found comfort in her aunt acting like her mother, apparently. Either he would find himself in love with what his mother used to be, as she heard stories, or hate her for that. No, Hotaru chastised herself; he might be decent, even though he left them. Would he recognize herself now? That was the question. Maybe she should beg a favor from one of her favorite aunts. "What is it, Taru?" Jason came back from the bathroom, setting his chin on her shoulder now. "Nothing, Jason, nothing at all." Hotaru was smiling evilly. "You are appearing evil, dear, now what is so evil?"
Hotaru took his hand, and pulled him to a relatively secluded corner. "That man," she pointed him out, "is my father. That blond," Hotaru, had to snap to get the attention away from Mina's legs, "is his fiancée, also my aunt. I want to ask if he can go to dinner tonight with my mom," Jason reflected minor embarrassment, "and her fiancée. We are going along for the show." Jason looked amused, but confused. "How is that going to be a show?" Hotaru didn't know how to phrase it the best. "She isn't like what she used to be, and he will arrogantly condemn the old Serena. It will be fun to see mother shoot down his ego." Jason buried his face in Hotaru's mid back length hair. "You are so evil, Taru, I will remember to not get on your bad side." Hotaru smiled. "That's why we are together dear." He pointed at the group again, now with politeness covering up true feelings.
Darien had come over reluctantly not wanting to see the blond klutz of the past, judging by his expression. Also by his expression, he was shocked. Hotaru was containing her laughter until after she had the option of meeting him. She could imagine him holding her mother and her newly grown curves, and playing with her silver silk spun hair. His expression was becoming panged now, which did finally make Daniel smirk. Seiya was near Serena, but not touching. It looked like he really wanted to actually beat Darien to the ground. That to, added to the amusement.
"Hello Darien. How was America?" Serena's innocent blinking made muffled laughter, and those reading her thoughts were either disgusted or amused. Darien forced a smile on his face. Mina felt his emotions. She was happy again. He was radiating confusion. All were happy, except him. Serena, and Mina shared a secret smile, then the queen smiled. Venus knew what that meant. "Sister?" Darien looked like he was about to fall over. His skin resembled that of a corpse. There was hysterical laughter a terminal over. The radius of uncomfortable-ness decreased that before expanded several feet past the group. Finally, they weren't avoided completely and became more of the mob. Serena smiled broadly, her eyes watering. Mina couldn't help but match them. "Yes, it is so good to see you!" They shared a hug, and then separated. Both looked at Darien.
He took in their similar blue eyes, and exact height. Physically, both matched. When he was in Japan before, Darien always thought that Serena could make a good model if her mouth was duct taped shut. The model Aino, aka Venus, had a sister in Japan. She went unnamed, yet was rumored to expand beyond Venus' glory. Damn it. She would have been a good catch. Seiya's eyes were on Darien, Mina, and Serena. He would be amused if this wasn't the male that left the princess, and Saturn. During his time to take things in, conversation had started up again, but he didn't come into it until the phrase "Come over for dinner tomorrow."
To his surprise, the invitation was from Serena, and was remotely warm. Remotely warm meant that Seiya's eyes were glaring great swords rather than her daggers. Rena was on Darien's arm, using strength that he didn't know she had to keep him there and not running back onto the plane. "Of course we will wont we honey." Mina's eyes were very cautious when on him. He knew those eyes. His answer was already assumed. "Of course we will be glad to have dinner with you. Will Lita be cooking?" Serena's smile froze. She blinked. Mina blinked. "Of course she will. She is the Hostess of Jupiter's Moon, right? That was a familiar restaurant…ranked top 10 of the country with a chain of expansions?"
Seiya took that moment to come up behind Serena, and wrap an arm around her waist. "Yes it is. The star lights are a main contributor to Lita's profits." Darien looked down. Enter Serena, with a rich famous fiancé? And is related to his girl? The only thing that would make this perfect is some sort of a guilt trip. Mina started laughing, quietly, and gaining the attention of Seiya.
Darien looked over to what was happening, and saw that sometime during his train of thought, Serena had broken off. She came back with a dark haired girl, looking a little younger than Serena, and a dark featured young man. A surge of protectiveness came over him and focused his thoughts on the girl. Respectfully, the girl bowed her head ever so slightly. She did a full bow to Mina. Seiya was smiling very warmly as he watched Serena and the girl come near. Darien wondered why this was. He found out soon enough. With a glitter of amusement, Serena turned her attention back on Darien. Mina fell back in line with Seiya to make room for the girl and her boyfriend. "Oh, Darien, I'd like to introduce you to Hotaru."
Like? Hate? Tomatoes? They are bad for throwing? Review please?
