CHAPTER TWO- WE'LL CALL YOU TENSHI

Shiryu smiled warmly as he explained to the girl what had happened, him finding her and bringing her back to his apartment. She looked around the room and just nodded, not knowing what else to do.

"Anyway, my name is Shiryu, and if there's anything you need, just let me know, okay?" he smiled again, but when he didn't get the response he wanted, he added more to his sentence "So, you know who I am now, so who are you?"

"What?" she asked, blinking a few times like he'd just asked her to solve a difficult math problem.

"Um. . .what's your name?" he rephrased.

"Oh, my names. . .it's um. . ." she just stared blankly at the sheets and concentrated very hard before finishing her sentence "I'm not sure what my name is. To tell you the truth, I don't remember anything about my life before waking up in here."

"Hm. . .maybe someone tried to kill you and you're in shock. Or maybe amnesia?" he considered "So, are you hungry?" he asked

"A little bit. Thanks for helping me out like this. This is all so confusing. . .I wish I knew what happened to me. . ." she sighed "If there's any way I can repay you, just-"

"Hey, don't worry about it, I'm just glad I found you when I did. You could have died, you know." He realized that sounded a bit. . .harsh. . . "Well, I mean you're not going to die or anything and it's not like you would have died it's just that" run on sentence "well if you had been there any longer it would have been worse well not that it wasn't bad or anything" now to the rambling "but when I found you, you were so beaten up and if I had found you later it could have well what I mean is" now just annoying

"Um. . .Shiryu. . .I'm fine" she giggled

Shiryu blushed a little bit, realizing how he must have sounded a few seconds ago. He hadn't meant to sound like a child explaining to his teacher why he'd forgotten his homework, but his brain wasn't functioning at that point. He walked over to the kitchen area and put some Ramen in the microwave for the both of them and then walked back to the bed where the girl was looking down at her clothes with a look of distaste.

"Wow. . .whoever beat me up sure made a mess of my clothes." She sighed

"Well, maybe later if you feel up to it, we can go pick you up some clothes at the mall. So, we're gonna have to call you something." He sat on the chair next to the bed and held his chin up with his hand in thought "Anything in particular you want to be called?"

"You pick something." She suggested

"Um, okay then. . .how about. . ." he thought about earlier when he'd first seen her, about how he thought she looked like an angel, and that was when he decided that she would be called "We'll call you Tenshi. It's a perfect name. It suits you."

"Tenshi? That means angel in Japanese, right?" he nodded and she smiled at the name "Tenshi. So, what will we tell people about me? I mean, will you just tell your friends that I'm a mystery girl who appeared out of no where?"

"Well. . .you see my friends and I, we're not like other people. Have you heard of the bronze saints?"

"The what?" she asked, confused as to what he was trying to tell her.

Shiryu opened his mouth to explain it to her, when there was a knock on the apartment door.

"Shiryu, it's me!" came a voice from the other side of the door.

"okay, the door is unlocked, come on in, Seiya."

A boy burst through the door. He had brown hair that went down just past his shoulders, dark brown eyes. . .and some very strange outfit on. It was red and white, and looked almost like armor.

"Seems that Aries is causing more trouble. I got word from Maureen that he's sending some more saints after us. And according to her, these are silver saints, specially trained to kill us with their new cl-" Suddenly, Seiya came to realization that there was a girl standing in the middle of the room, staring at him like he was a crazy person who'd forgotten his medicine that morning "Um. . .I mean. . .hi...I'm Seiya..."

"Seiya, this is Tenshi, and I found her in the alleyway. She doesn't remember who she is or what happened to her. Do you think that Aries might have something to do with it?"

"Who's Aries?" she asked

"The pope." Shiryu replied, smiling down at the girl who was only a few inches shorter than him.

"Um. . .well I don't think Aries has anything to do with her but she looks like she got beat up pretty bad. Maybe a mugger."

"These abrasions aren't human, Seiya. I think that some of these saints that Aries sent did this to her. Seiya, I just know someone that the pope sent did this to her."

"Um. . .but wouldn't the pope be a nice guy?" she asked, completely confused.

"No." both of them answered at the same time

Suddenly, someone else walked into the room. He had dark bluish hair and blue eyes. . .and another strange outfit on. This guy was wearing a blue outfit with yellow and pink on it.

"Hey Ikki." Both boys greeted

"What's wrong?" Shiryu asked him

"Well it's just. . .Shun is going to China for an entire month and I'm going to be worried sick about him until he gets back. He might not even be able to call me and. . ." he sighed and looked down at his feet

"Hey, your brother's able to take care of himself." Seiya pointed out

"Yeah, you're right." Ikki sighed again

"And besides, he has Peggi with him." Shiryu added to Seiya's statement

"See, that's what I'm worried about. She's psychopathic and insane, and knowing her, when he comes back, he'll be hyper and. . .and. . .I think I need some Advil now. . .no wait, first of all, who is the new girl and second, can you drop her off at her house? Seiya was supposed to get you, we have some. . .saint things to do."

The other boys giggled at his comments on Peggi, after all, it was true that her sugar-high-ness and ability to manipulate people was going to corrupt the Andromeda saint, but they couldn't think about that now, right now, they had some business to attend to.

"This is Tenshi, and she has no home that we know of. She has some type of amnesia. And as for our. . .um. . .mission, we could leave her here while we go." Shiryu suggested.

Meanwhile. . .Shun awoke to the jolt of the plane making contact with the ground, and looked over at the girl next to him. She was reading a small black-covered book.

"See any good spells in there?" he asked her, knowing exactly what she was reading

"Eh, nothing I haven't read before. You know, Shun, I think you'd really like to learn some magick."

"I guess. But I don't know if Ikki would let me." he laughed, causing her to laugh as well.

"Yes, Mr. Over-Protective-Brother would definitely protest. But it would be fun, ya know." She looked out the window "We're about to stop. Thanks for coming with me, it would be sooooo boring by myself. So, this one dude we're gonna see, Shiryu's mastery person? Well. . .he lives near a river right? And a waterfall? We should go swimming when we get there! Hey Shun? Do you think the house has air conditioning? It had better I hate being too hot but then again I hate to be cold too. . ."

Shun just smiled warmly at the girl as she proceeded to ask random questions, not necessarily wanting an answer. As the two of them left the airport, Peggi insisted on stopping somewhere to eat, since their walk to the shrine where Shiryu's master lived was so far off into the thick forested area. They picked a nice restaurant, and Peggi eventually manipulated the owner of the place to give them their meal free.

At sanctuary, things weren't going according to plan.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST HER?!" pope Aries screamed at one of his random saints.

"W-well you s-see, she was still too powerful! We tried to stop her but the powers from that old jewel she had before she was traded to you, well the powers were still present and we-"

"ENOUGH!!!!!!!! YOU WILL RETRIEVE THAT GIRL OR YOU WILL DIE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! Now, I've sent out some of my best scouts, ensured with some of my best cloths available, and you will travel to Japan to meet them. When you find the girl, you will bring her to me, do you understand? I don't care what it takes. You will bring her to me. Now go, leave my sight before I decide to send someone else and kill you for your lack of worth to me." Aries signaled with his hand and the guards dragged the saint out of the room.
