Chapter Ten: The Bull & The Hare
Taurus Aldebaran's Point of View
By: Lady Mochizuki

I watch as Gabriella chases Moses off with a broom. I had to smile as my friend and neighbor Mu side-step as Brie(her nickname) swung the broom like her Master swings Excaliber. Moses doesn't stand a chance against Brie unless Shura decides to pity him and stops Brie. I look over at Twilight, sitting on Ikki's lap, drinking cocoa while he's telling her what is happening. I could see a smirk on my goddaughter's face. Young love.

Mu smirks knowingly at me as he watches the scene before him. I knew what Mu was thinking, and I usually do, but would someone like Brie want someone like me? I still think it's because Brie and Twilight don't like bullies and idiots.

" Big brother Aldebaran, why do you think you are not worthy of love?" Twilight blurted out rather bluntly, making me blush a beet red.

I didn't answer because I didn't want to face my worst fear.

"Well, you must know not all girls are interested in looks or wealth because if this were the case, I wouldn't be with Ikki. But you should know I love you like a little sister would love her brother. Your gentleness and kind heart attract people to you, not your looks or what you can give them."Twilight said softly, leaning up and kissing my cheek.

I mumbled something about perspective little blind sisters while Ikki chuckled.

I smiled despite myself. I looked in time to see Shura shaking his head in disbelief as he asked,

"What started this smackdown?"

"Moses was being an obnoxious asshole to Aldebaran, so Brie decided to smack him into next year. I held Twilight back. I figure Brie can beat him like a throw rug. If the two ladies had pounced, I am sure Moses would wish he had stayed in bed." Ikki answers Shura.

Shura only shook his head in disbelief as we all heard Moses yell,

" Someone call off this little psycho; ouch, ouch."

Then we all heard Brie snap,

"Psycho?!, Oh, I'll show you psycho. You are overstuffed, damn whale. Twilight and I had warned you male Silvers to leave Aldebaran alone, but no, you bunch of overstuffed jackasses don't, and since Aldebaran won't do anything about it because he's too nice gentle. And since no one else will stick up for him except Twilight and me."

Kanon and Saga joined us as we all heard Moses yelp Brie struck again with the broom. Then it went quiet as Death Mask, and the other Gold Saints joined us. I saw Twilight smirk knowingly.

Then we all heard footsteps running toward Taurus, with an occasional yelp from Moses as Brie swung the broom. Yet no one made a move to help Moses. Everyone looked over at Shura or me except Twilight, who continued to sip her cocoa.

"Aldebaran, please call off Brie. " Moses begs.

I didn't move, with Twilight glaring at me as she kept sipping her cocoa as we all saw Brie swing the broom at Moses's legs knocking him on his ass, and she raised the broom with a dangerous glint in her eye.

"Sword Dancer, that's enough because I am certain he has learned his lesson." Pope Shion stated. He looked like he was trying not to laugh.

Moses nodded his head earnestly while holding his hand defensively. Brie lowers the broom slowly while still glaring daggers looking at me meaningfully.

Moses is biting his lower lip, looking rather sheepishly at us, and seeing Twilight glaring daggers at him as well. He whimpers in defeat.

"Aldebaran, I'm sorry for being a bully and a fool. My behavior is very unbecoming of a Saint of Athena. Please forgive me,"

I nodded and waved him off. Moses flees as Twilight and Brie growl. The others burst out with laughter as Twilight and Brie high-fived each other.

I cleared my throat, gaining everyone's attention, including Brie's.

"Brie, may I ask you why you like me? I'm not exactly the handsome of the Saints, the smartest of the Saints, or the wealthiest of the Saints either?' I asked, looking at the ground, blushing.

I felt someone cup my chin as I now look up into a pair of beautiful brown eyes. I had forgotten Brie was the tallest of the Amazon, and she's a few inches shorter than me, which is what I adored about her.

"Aldebaran, I'm not shallow like some girls because looks don't matter to me. I don't care if you're rich or poor or smart because, let me put it to you, this Death Mask isn't brilliant. That's why he has Aphrodite to think for him. (The statement had everyone chuckling while Death Mask glared coldly at Brie), but I love your kind heart and gentle soul, which made me fall in love with you in the first place." Brie stated with confidence releasing my chin and smiling.

I was surprised as I leaned against one of the pillars nearest me pondering her words further. I began to blush as her words sunk in. Briana cupped my chin smiling.

"I meant what I said, Aldebaran," Brie stated, "I do love you."

I smiled lovingly, finally convinced. I leaned down and kissed my Rabbit.

Everyone cheered as I hid my face in her shoulder as whispered,

"I love you, too, my Rabbit Princess.

Twilight and Brie smile at each other.
