He nodded. "Those two will already be enough trouble. Saturn is far more powerful then you. That brother of yours will be able to handle her." Kanya felt a shiver run up her spine at the mention of her younger brother. She then nodded and stood up.
"As you wish my lord." with that the petals appeared again and she vanished within them.

"I'm home!" Rei called out as she stepped into the huge mansion. She saw two people sitting on the couch arguing over who go the remote next. Was it really a surprise to find it was Haruka and Seiya. She looked at the tv and saw they had landed on the news. A smirk soon appeared on her face. "Interesting,...taxes are going up. I'm sure that will help on keeping this place Seiya." she stated.
He looked up at her already pissed off. "Shut up Rei!"
"Don't tell her to shut up you transvestite!" Haruka shouted.
Seiya glared at her. "Quit calling me that!"
Rolling her eyes she left the two to argue and walked to the kitchen to put away the groceries she just bought. A few of the servants were helping to bring in the rest. Since so many people were living here decided to get more food. Having been bored Rei volunteered to take on the task of shopping. Marik and Mokuba had come with her. Yep, Seto's little brother was now living there too. After all the CEO couldn't just leave him at home alone.
"Hey Rei!"Tenshi called walking in.
"No Tenshi, they didn't have your cereal but I got you those poptarts you liked." she said. The boy had, had his mouth opened to ask but closed it now. Rei smiled and handed him the box, telling him to put it where he'll remember where it's at. Nodding the violet eyed teen put them in a cupboard and decided to help her and the others with the rest of the things.
"So anything happen while we were out?" she asked.
"Nope. Michiru is in the music room playing her violin for Yugi Ryo, Tea, Serenity, and Duke. Hotaru's reading in the library with Taiki. Alister and his friends went to inspect the house Dartz was living in with Yaten...So that's about it I think." Rei nodded and finished up.
"You left out Joey, Tristan, Yami, Seto, and Minako." Marik said as he unloaded the fruits.
"Oh yeah. Joey and Tristan are playing video games and the other three are out back somewhere."
Mokuba looked up at Rei. "Can I go see my brother?" she smiled and nodded. Mokuba finished putting away one more bag before going to see what his brother was up to.
"Guys!" they heard Haruka shout from the living room. The three hesitated then rushed to where she was. They asked her what was wrong but all she did was nod her head to the tv. There on the screen was a picture of a weird large dark crystal like thing floating in the sky. The news reporter said it had appeared just two hours ago hovering over the outskirts of Domino City.
"No doubt...that's where the demon dude lives." Tenshi said holding the back of his head with his hands. Rei glared at him.
"Really? Cause I thought it would be little fairies." she snapped crossing her arms. Marik sighed as Tenshi pouted and told Rei she was being mean.
"Knock it off Rei. This is serious. We need to go tell the others. I also need you to call a scout meeting. Marik you can tell Yami and your other friends. We have other things to discuss as well." Marik raised an eyebrow but listened to the lead singer. 88888
All the girls, Starlights, and Tenshi sat around the study room. They didn't want to get the others into this conversation. Minako sat cross legged in the computer chair and was slowly spinning around. Hotaru sat on the desk and next to her sat Rei. Tenshi was sprawled out on the floor for some reason, looking up at the ceiling. Michiru and Haruka took the love-seat on the other side and the Starlights just stood in front of the closed door.
"Are you sure those kids can help us? I mean a lot of them seem like they'd get in the way." Seiya asked.
"Like that Joey kid." Haruka mumbled. Minako and Tenshi laughed while the others just shook their heads.
Taiki sighed. "Still this isn't exactly our fight to begin with. The demon said it was after the Millennium Items, not the sailor crystals."
"If anything we're the ones intruding." Rei stated
"But they never fought anything like this!"
Hotaru shook her head. "We don't know that Haruka. They could have just as much experience as us only in different ways of fighting. Obviously they haven't any powers like ours, and the don't fight hand to hand."
"Maybe these Items are their means of combat then." Minako pointed out.
Michiru nodded. "That could be true. We should ask them about what they've faced before."
"Right , but while we're still here we learned possibly where the enemy is staying." Seiya said. All but Rei, Tenshi, and Haruka looked shocked. With a hard tug Haruka pulled the cord to the large curtains covering the window. All gasped when they saw a floating black crystal thing in the distance.
"It shouldn't be to hard to guess where that is." she said.
Minako looked at them. " should we go and face him?"
"That might be what they want us to do. Or the whole crystal thing could be a trap. I think the best thing to do would be to wait, and see if anything comes out of there." Taiki suggested.
"But that might take forever."
Rei sighed. "We really don't have a choice. If it is the real thing then I doubt it's so easy to get inside. Plus the military will be all over this one. Hopefully they don't do anything stupid."
Tenshi nodded then smiled, "ok this meeting is over. Lets go eat now. I'm hungry!"

It was late at night when Alister awoke from his sleep. He kept having these dreams where Dartz kept finding him and trying to kill him, Varon, and Raphael. Every time the blue haired man was about to kill him though, he would wake up. Earlier when they had gone back to the house, group had found it completely empty. Only their rooms were untouched. Sighing he threw the blanket off and got up. Maybe something to drink would help him sleep better.
Putting on a muscle shirt he opened his door and quietly went out into the hall. Man this place was creepy at night. It was so silent and dark. The only light he had came from the street lamps outside and the quarter full moon. Silently he made his way passed the others doors and went down the stairs.
A noise was coming from the kitchen. Was someone else up? Maybe one of the servants were still there. Still just to be safe he put his back to the wall and inched towards the corner. Finally he was able to peer around it and look in. A shadowed figure was looking through the cabinet. They stood up on their tip toes to reach the top shelf. A small box fell out and hit them on the head.
"Ow." came the hushed voice. It didn't take the grey eyed duelist long to figure out who it was.
He went in and turned on the lights. "Hotaru?" he asked. The girl jumped and turned to him.
"Oh it's you Alister. You startled me." she said bending down and picking up the box of bandage. She didn't put it away though, which meant she needed it for something.
"What are you doing with that?"
"Oh um...nothing." she said hiding it behind her back.
He crossed his arms. "Don't lie, now why do you need it?" she sighed.
"Remember when that wolf youma attacked the park and he blew up the tree?" he nodded. "Well some of the wood had cut up my back pretty badly. Rei had bandaged it when I got back to the hotel, but Dartz had reopened some of them...along with adding a few of his own cuts. Anyways I have to change the bandage for them again."
"And you can do this on your own?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. She bowed her head and shook it. Shacking his head he walked in and lifted her up onto the counter in the middle of the room. He then got behind her. "Here I'll help. Give me the box and lift up your shirt a little."
Hotaru gave him a weird look but did as he said. Luckily she was wearing a loose strap shirt and pj pants, instead of a nightgown. He looked at the old bandage and saw it was stained with some blood. He immediately felt a great amount of sadness and guilt. Ignoring his thoughts however he removed the old wraps and cleaned the dried blood off her back. Soon he began wrapping it back up.
"Thanks Alister." he heard her whisper.
He nodded. "It's no problem. Almost done." tacking some medical tape he tore a piece off with his teeth and placed it over the end of the wrap for it to stay.
Hotaru let her shirt down and was about to get off the counter when two arms wrapped around her stomach. She felt Alister press his chest to her back and she blushed. He leaned the side of his head on hers and smiled. Her scent washed over him and he inhaled it. She smelled of lavender and rain.
"Alister are you ok?" he heard her ask.
Nodding he said, "I'm fine...I just want to stay like this for awhile."
After he said that, Hotaru closed her eyes and relaxed against him. For some reason she felt safe in his arms. It almost scared her. She had never felt this safe before. However she dismissed it all and just sat there, leaning against him. Secretly she hoped the moment would never end.
Spirit- well thats it for this chapter.
