The bronze saints had finally decided the fake story that they would give Muso, keeping an eye on him while at the same time helping him out a bit in case he was truly against sanctuary. He had been sleeping most of the day and they knew that they should just let him sleep. Tenshi kept her distance from the man, but every so often would carefully change his bandages. His wounds seemed worse than they looked and could become infected easily. He had also lost quite a bit of blood and there was talk of taking him to a doctor to have his wounds looked at.
"You guys aren't going to leave me alone with him?" Tenshi asked, hopeful that they wouldn't do such a thing to her if there were a chance he was bad.
"Well, although I'm pretty sure you can take care of yourself," Hyoga laughed, "we wouldn't want to endanger you. If he is, in fact, working for sanctuary and here to harm you, it would definitely be a bad idea to leave you with him."
Tenshi nodded and sat down on a chair close to Shiryu. She felt a lot safer with Shiryu than with anyone else. He gave her some sort of comfort, something she was used to, like a security blanket of sorts. Shiryu liked the fact that she seemed to come to him and he put his hand on her shoulder.
"We will have to go back to the Kido mansion soon to see if there was any piece of evidence we might have missed." Shiryu looked to Tenshi to see what she wanted to say about it.
"So, can I go with you?" she asked him.
"Well, you can go if you want, or you could always go back to my place. I'm sure you're exhausted. You look very tired." Shiryu said sweetly.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I am very tired. Using my wind powers like that really does leave me feeling a bit drained. You wouldn't mind me going back to your place for a little while to rest?" she asked.
"No, of course not. I'll take you there and meet the rest of you guys at the mansion. We won't be more than a couple hours and then after that I'll go get you, Tenshi, and we can all go get something to eat." Shiryu smiled at Tenshi and she smiled back.
Shiryu walked Tenshi to his apartment and let her in, "I don't have much to eat here but there are a few snacks lying around in case you're hungry. Feel free to take a shower or watch TV. I don't have cable but I do get news and some basic channels. I think I even have some music television if you're interested. Also I have some CDs and a portable CD player."
"Thank you, Shiryu, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Tenshi giggled.
Shiryu sighed and laughed a bit, "I guess I'm just a little worried about you."
"Understandable. Now go meet the rest of the guys. They need you. I'll be fine here on my own."
Shiryu nodded and, locking the door behind him, ran to the Kido mansion to meet the rest of the guys. Tenshi turned off all of the lights and got into bed, hoping to rest up so that she might be able to assist her new friends if they needed her help later on. Soon, sleep found the girl and she began to dream again.
Her dream began in that same dark room she started off in during her last dream and the same girl with black hair and baby blue highlights was in the room with her. She wanted to ask the girl what was going on and where she was but when she opened her mouth to speak that was not what was said.
"Peg, are you sure we can do this? If we go into feudal Japan, will we be able to climb back out like Kagome does? What if we get stuck? Who is this friend that you're trying to help out, anyway?"
"A friend of my boyfriend. You know that. If you don't want to come I understand, it could be risky and you don't even know the people I'm trying to save." The girl replied to her.
"No way will I let you do this alone. Besides, without me, you aren't strong enough to defeat Sesshoumaru and Naraku. I'm helping, no questions asked, I'm just a little bit concerned is all. I just want to make sure that we're prepared before rushing into something."
Suddenly a burst of brilliant light and Tenshi was back at her computer, the same boy from before whining about wanting a video game back. This section of the dream didn't last as long as the first had, and suddenly she was in a dark alleyway, a man standing in front of her. She was in an astral projection again, seeing herself cornered. The Tenshi in the dream was obviously very frightened by this man and the one floating above the scene tried to scream or use her wind powers to protect the other on the ground, but it was no use. Just when she was about to burst into tears for fear of the other Tenshi being harmed, the Tenshi on the ground let loose a burst of light green energy and the man was blown to the other end of the alleyway and the Tenshi that had done it fell to the ground.
Tenshi, the real one this time, sat up in the bed. She had heard something and she was very concerned by this. Whatever had startled her from her sleep had been loud enough to pull her out of a deep sleep, and that wasn't easy to do. She wasn't sure how long she had been asleep so she thought it could possibly be Shiryu but was too worried to call out. She sat in the bed for a few moments, trying to listen for more noises or to at least figure out where the sound had come from, but there was only silence. Tenshi was considering laying back down to sleep some more, when she heard a clicking noise. She realized that someone was opening the door.
Peggi was making her way towards the cabin. She could see it just a few yards away but it seemed like it was still miles from them. Her body felt numb. Shun himself was not too heavy for her to carry, but he was also carrying his cloth with him, which added a lot of weight. Peggi had wanted to stop for a break, but she was very concerned with her boyfriend, and wanted to get inside the shelter as soon as she possibly could. Once they were inside she dropped his cloth by the door and took him into the first bedroom she saw. He was still unconscious and she knew that he needed to have his wounds checked out.
She removed his shirt and realized that his wounds were becoming infected. She could use some of her powers to heal him, but first she would have to clean them off. She went into the bathroom and ran a bath for him. By the time she re-entered the bedroom, he was sitting up, looking like he was on medications that were making him space out.
"Shun, are you alright? You don't look very good."
"My head hurts really badly and I feel really light headed as well but other than that . . .and the gaping hole in my body, I think I'm fine."
"I drew you a bubble bath, I figured it would feel really good. After you're out I'll heal you."
Shun smirked at Peggi with one of the most devilish smiles she'd ever seen. Peggi was about to argue with him but he batted his eyelashes at her and she knew that his irresistible ways would win her over and so she gave up.
"Alright, when we get out, I'll heal you."
Shun smiled widely at her and pulled himself out of bed, grabbing her hand and pulling her along towards the bathroom.
Back with the bronze saints, they weren't really finding much at the mansion; however, they weren't going to leave any room unchecked.
"I bet they're doing dirty things right now." Ikki snarled to no one in particular.
"Who is doing what things?" Hyoga asked him, flipping through an address book.
"My brother and that tomboyish girl he's with. I bet she's teaching him to do dirty disgusting things. She's going to corrupt him, I just know it."
Shiryu laughed at him, "Ikki, how old were you when you first started noticing girls?"
"I don't know, about 13 or 14. Why?"
"When you first learned about sex, how did you learn?" Shiryu was making a point, but Ikki didn't understand what it was.
"Well, my friends taught me. I guess I learned on my own. I also read a lot of things on the Internet and, um, very colorful downloadable."
"Does your brother not have a computer in his own room? Has he not been interested in girls for several years now?"
Ikki's eyes widened, "That computer is coming out of there as soon as I get home," Ikki blushed, "he'd better not be the one instigating anything."
The boys laughed at Ikki for being so protective of his brother, but knew that he was probably right about what was going on. They tried not to think about Shun as that type of person; he just seemed so innocent to everyone.
"Hey, guys! I think I found something!" Hyoga exclaimed, holding up a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Seiya asked him.
"It's a paper with a time written on it in Saori's handwriting. It was right about the time that Saori was taken too. There is a name on here that I don't recognize, but I'm sure we can figure out who he was," Hyoga handed the paper to Ikki to pass around.
"Yujiro?" Seiya questioned, looking at the name on the paper, "anyone have the slightest clue who that is?"
The other boys merely shrugged their shoulders and continued to stare at the piece of paper, not having any idea who this Yujiro person could be. He didn't sound familiar to any of them, but he was definitely worth looking into.
"Well it doesn't look like we're going to find anything other than this, so lets take it and get back home before it gets too late. I'm starving and Tenshi is all alone." Shiryu said to the rest of the saints.
"Sounds good. After we eat we can try and find out information on this guy and see if he is working for sanctuary or not."
The silver saints left Shiryu in charge of the note and they began heading back to Shiryu's place to pick up Tenshi. When they got there, they immediately noticed that something was wrong. The door was wide open and the room looked as though a tornado had been through the room, leaving the mess for everyone else to clean up.
"Tenshi!" Shiryu screamed, running into the apartment before anyone could stop him.
END CHAPTER ELEVENPeggi- well it only took me 3 months but here it finally is! I took a slightly different approach to this than I'd been using for the rest of the fic and I'm sure you can recognize all of the little changes I've made if you recognize my writing styles, but I think its still very good. Hope you enjoyed, please slip me reviews!
