It was about 9 O'clock when Maya woke up, it wasn't like to her sleep in. She felt awful because she didn't make breakfast that morning.
Maya got ready, cleaned herself up and went into the living room. " Sorry I didn't make breakfast you guys, I really should have gotten up this morning!" Maya exclaimed.
"It's alright!" Sayaka replied. "I handled breakfast this morning and there is some leftover for you!"
"Thank you so much Sayaka! What time is it?" Maya asked.
" It's 9:47, You should hurry! Don't you have to go practice today for The Crimson Goddess!"
" Oh Goodness! I completely forgot Sayaka, thank you so much!"
Maya began to eat her breakfast as Rei walked in, she was reading the newspaper and began to speak.
" Oh would you look at that! The constellation of Pieces shone last night!" Rei said.
" Really? I think I'm Pieces Rei!" Maya said.
" Really! Okay then, let's check! Maya when is your birthday?" Rei asked as she turned the newspaper.
" My birthday is March 9th!" Maya exclaimed.
" Yep! Maya, says right here that you are! "
" Cool! What does it say about the constellation?" Maya asked.
" It says good luck and great fortune will come to you Maya, but you must endure hard times first."
" Endure hard times huh? That's going to be a hard one!, Bye Rei, bye Sayaka. I have to go to the practice okay!"
"Bye Maya!" Both Rei and Sayaka yelled at the same time.
Maya was taking the train to practice. She was on the outskirts of town. On the train a young bleach blond green eyed man sat right next to her.
" Hello is your name Maya?"
" Yes, my name is Maya, Why?"
" My name is Aaron!"
" Why then, Hello there Aaron!"
" I have something important to tell you, it regards your personal circumstances!"
" What do you mean?" Maya asked.
" I mean that you are going to lose your sensei sometime near right?"
" Umm, yes..""
Maya thought to herself: How does he know this. Is he like on of those witchcraft sightseers they always mention!"
" Maya, no matter what, you must promise me not to hate your sensei, ever!"
" How could I hate her! She is the only person who showed me love!" Maya exclaimed.
" Good, now keep that promise, she will force you to do something irrational, but It will be her dying wish. Now you must follow that commandment, it will make you happier in the long run!"
" Okay I will Aaron! Will I see you again!" Maya asked.
" Yes you will, in the nearing of 3 months you will see me again! And you must follow what I say!"
Aaron began to get up.
" But before I go, this tip will help you a lot! Try to forgive Masumi!"
" How could I forgive that cruel bastard! I me-." Maya was interrupted by Aaron.
" Remember what I said, Maya, it will help you a lot!"
" Okay, I will try." Maya said.
Aaron stood up and left to the other cabin.
Maya began to wonder what he was referring to, maybe he was just playing with her mind. Maya began to cry at the thought of Masumi and looked out the window for the next 2 hours.
Meanwhile at Tussikage's home in the mountains.
Tussikage was beyond ill, she wanted to see both Maya's and Ayumi's play before she left. She feared she had little time left. She got out of her bed and dialed Eisuke's phone number. She knew what she was doing was right but she also felt guilty.
Back on the train.
Maya was in tears and Ayumi walked out of her first class cabin. Ayumi turned and saw Maya.
" Maya, are you alright.?" Ayumi asked as she sat next to Maya.
" I'll be okay." Maya said.
" Are you worrying for Tussikage? Anyways, how is she doing Maya?"
" You could put it like that," Maya said, " She hasn't been so well, and she only has about 3 more months to live."
Just then Maya froze up and realized the significance of 3 months. Ayumi noticed the freeze up but didn't ask what happened.
Ayumi decided to change the subject. " Maya, you wanna hear something funny?" " Sure" Maya said.
" I saw Masumi balling his eyes out like a baby yesterday when I was stuck in traffic!" " Really!" Maya said " It serves him right for being so cruel!"
" But you have to remember Maya, you have to be cruel in this industry! If not, you'll be gobbled up like a Lion's prey!
" That's true. Oh our stop is almost here!" Maya exclaimed.
Ayumi grabbed her suitcase and Maya grabbed her purse and backpack. They got off the train and Tussikage's butler picked them up. He asked them how was their train ride and if they were ready to perform for Tussikage. They both said yes and he informed them on Tussikage's health. He said she was very ill and he mumbled under his breath " Please stay a little longer Tussikage, I have been faithful to you all these years, and I think I may love you. Just don't leave me now."
Ayumi heard of all this while Maya stared out the window. Ayumi thought to herself, since they are going to be there the whole day, how can they get Tussikage to notice his attention. It was going to be an eventful day for all of them now!
