CHAPTER SEVEN- PILLOW FIGHT WARS!!!

Shiryu and Tenshi walked back into the mansion and the others sat around the living room, casually making themselves comfortable on the chairs, and Hyouga was sitting on the sofa with his feet propped up on the coffee table in front of him.

"Any ideas, guys?" Shiryu asked, taking a seat on the vacant chair.

"Well," Seiya began, "if Aries wants to trade Saori for Tenshi, then there must be something about her that is a huge threat to him, right?"

"You're not gonna give me to him, are you?" Tenshi asked, a bit worriedly, sitting on the armrest of the chair Shiryu was in.

"Of course not! I'm just saying. . .the only way he'll give back Saori is trading you in. . .so we have to think of something. Some sort of plan that-"

"Training. . ." Shiryu said, causing everyone to look at him.

"What was that, Shiryu?" Ikki asked.

"Training. We can train Tenshi and help her figure out what it is about her that Aries wants, and maybe she can help us get Saori back!"

"Right, like with the pieces of the golden cloth! We'll pretend we're going to trade her in, and as soon as we get Saori in our hands, Tenshi can 'whoosh' them!" Hyouga clarified.

They all giggled at the way he explained himself, but agreed, nonetheless.

"So it's settled. We'll try to help her with her wind power, teach her to fight just enough to defend herself to get away, and get Saori back!" Shiryu chimed, happily.

And so it was settled. The boys would teach Tenshi to defend herself so that she could get away from the saints, and once they had Saori in their grasp, Tenshi would help Saori get back to the mansion safely while the boys took care of whoever was there to make the trade. They would only have one shot, and they didn't have much time, so they had to come up with a foolproof plan.

Back in sanctuary, Aries was in the middle of something very important. So important, that the search for Tenshi was put on hold or the moment. . .

"You will lose, Naraku, and you will see who is the better man." Aries growled, glaring into the crimson eyes of the half-demon in front of him.

"Yes, we will see who is the better man, but it will not be I who loses, it will be you. . ."

Aries and Naraku glared at each other, Naraku deciding to give it his all, as did Aries.

Naraku glared at Aries and actually felt tears coming to his eyes. "You have to blink sometime, human. . ."

One of the random body guards at sanctuary shook his head in exasperation at the two of them, neither wishing to forfeit the staring contest.

And back with Peggi and Shun, things were getting. . .well. . .things hadn't really progressed. It was much later in the evening. Shun had figured out that the man sent to kill Peggi was named Yujiro, and Peggi was finally beginning to wake up. When she did, she was inside of. . .well. . .somewhere, and she was lying on a sofa in an empty room with. . .A REALLY BIG TV!!!

"Oh, the heavens must love me!" she squealed, bounding towards the TV, when suddenly, something occurred to her "Wait. . .if I was outside with Shun, and now I'm in here, and this room is empty, Shun must not be at this house, he must be outside. He would never leave me alone without a note unless something bad was happening, and would never EVER leave me alone in a strange house where I would inevitably get bored, roam, and eventually wreck the place. . ." she was still a bit groggy (me: okay, so I use that excuse for everything XD ) so it took a few seconds to register. "SHUN!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

And once more, back to our main characters. . .

"Are you sure you don't mind me staying at your place?" Tenshi asked Shiryu for about the millionth time.

"It's fine, I don't mind at all. The company will be enjoyable." He smiled as they entered the apartment. "The shower is in the back if you want to use it and I think I'll be going to bed."

He walked up to a closet door and pulled out a blanket and pillow, plopping them onto the sofa while Tenshi walked into the bathroom carrying the pjs she had purchased. . .excuse me, that Shiryu had purchased at the store earlier. She took a long shower and thought about everything that had gone on that day since she woke up.

When Tenshi walked back out of the bathroom, Shiryu was sitting in the chair, waiting to go into the bathroom to brush his teeth, and he was so absorbed in his TV watching that he wasn't blinking at all, and his mouth was hanging open a little bit. Leaning forward a bit towards the television set, and when the person in the commercial asked "are you tired of stubborn grass stains?" he even nodded. This was all Tenshi could take, and she burst into a giggling fit.

The giggling startled him out of his trance and he blushed slightly, standing up, and walking into the bathroom. When he came out, he saw that Tenshi was now watching the same show he had been watching. . .just as absorbed as he was. . .it was interesting, since all they were showing were commercials. . .it was the infomercial station. . .

Shiryu walked behind the chair and leaned down, resting his head on her shoulder and resting his arms on the arms of the chair.

"Is it really that interesting?" he whispered, intentionally making her jump.

She pulled away from the chair, now standing, and glared. "Don't scare me like that!" she said, throwing the pillow from the bed at him "it's rude!"

". . .you just threw a pillow at me. I'm still mad at you for hitting me earlier when we were at the lake. Now, you pay."

She squealed so loudly that the upstairs neighbors HAD to have heard her, but she didn't care. Shiryu tackled her to the bed and mercilessly tickled her. She finally shoved him off and began beating him with the pillow from the sofa, only to begin a pillow fight war. . .

Shun-Peggi, what do you think your parents would do if they knew their youngest daughter was staying up 3 hours past her bedtime on a school night eating lollipops and writing fanfiction?
