Enjoy the story.
Now on with the story...
"Lady Athena, you wanted to see me?" Mary asked Lady Athena. Mary had been called in to see Athena. She had a feeling she knew what Athena wanted to see her about.
"Mary, we need to talk about Marie. She is going to wind up killing Death Mask or he is going to wind up killing her. We need to keep them apart till they can get through one day without trying to kill each other." Athena said her back was turned.
"What do you think we should do? Have her move in with one of the other girls?" Mary asked.
"I will have you figure that out Mary. But you need to keep them away from each other. I already saw them at each other's throats this morning." Lady Athena said as she disappeared into her rooms. Mary sighed and ran a hand through her long brown hair.
Mary sat in a chair in the Libra Temple thinking about what she was going to do with Marie. Mary had probably run her hands through her hair about 100 times she should know because her hair was a mess. Mary sighed again, what am I going to do? I can't figure out what I am going to do with Marie. I hate this! Man, I need an aspirin. Mary thought to herself.
Mary pushed herself out of the chair and got a glass of water with 10 cubes of ice. And then she sat back down in the chair. What to do? What to do? With Miss Temperamental. Mary started to close her eyes she was starting to get a migraine. Mary heard the loud conversation of Dokho and Shion as they walked up the stairs to the house. Mary opened one of her eyes as they walked in.
They were so loud.
"Could you be any louder?" Mary asked over Shion and Dokho's loud voices.
"Wow, what is wrong with you sweet heart. Something crawl up your butt." Dokho asked. Mary stared at him like he had grown a second head.
Did he just call me sweet heart? I think I am going to hurl. That is really disgusting not to mention gross. Really, really, really gross.
"Okay first thing, I am fine thank you very much. Second of all nothing crawled up my butt in the first place. And thirdly don't call me sweet heart because I am not your sweet heart. Last of all if you ever call me that again I will kill you." Mary said as she turned on her heals and walked out of the temple maybe she just need some fresh air.
"Okay, what is with woman they can't take a joke." Dokho said and he turned to laugh with Shion.
"I HEARD THAT DOKHO!" Mary yelled from the top of the stairs. Dokho and Shion heard her go down the stairs of the house.
"Well that got her to leave. But, Dokho I think you kind of over did it with the sweet heart." Shion said as he took the seat that Mary was sitting in.
"I don't think I did. I think it was fun to call her that. I think the funniest part for me was seeing her face turn red." Dokho said as he opened the refrigerator and pulled out the things he needed for dinner tonight.
"Dokho I think you like her." Shion said he opened one of Dokho's books. Dokho dropped the tomatoes that he was holding on the ground. Shion watched him pick them up really fast.
"What makes you say that Shion?" Dokho asked as he put the tomatoes on the table.
"Because you dropped the tomatoes when I say you liked her. That is a sure sign you like her." Shion said bring the book up to his face.
"I don't like her." Dokho said starting to cut up the tomatoes with more force than necessary.
"Okay whatever you say. Hey watch it, stop cutting the tomatoes so hard you're going to cut through to your table. And plus your spraying me with tomato juice." Shion said.
"Sorry about that." Dokho said as he put his sliced up the tomatoes into a bowl.
"Are you sure you don't like her Dokho?" Shion asked one more time he knew he was pushing the limit here but he had to know.
"No, I don't like her Shion. So stop asking me. And let's stop talking about this please I want to drop the subject." Dokho said as he started to cut up some more tomatoes.
"Okay, fine we will stop talking about it." Shion said as he helped Dokho make dinner.
Mary sat on the fence that separated the boys and girls training grounds she sighed once more she still had no idea what is was going to do with Marie. She started to swing her feet back and forth.
Mary looked up towards the sky she wondered how Adela was doing. What she was doing right now? She wished her friend was here right now. Adela always knew what to do at times like these. She would always make Mary feel better.
That is it. I know what I am going to do. Mary thought to herself as she hopped off the fence and ran all the way back to the houses. She reached the house of Leo and came to a halt looking around.
"Hi, Mary can I help you with something?" Aioria said as he came out of his room he looked like he was heading off to do some training.
"Hi Aioria, do you know where Rosette is?" Mary asked looking at him.
"I think she is in her room. Why?" he asked as he came to stand closer to her.
"No reason and thanks. Have fun training." Mary said as she walked over to Rosette's door and knocked on it.
"What is it?" Rosette's voice came from inside.
"Rosette it is me. I knew to talk to you about something." Mary said she prayed that Rosette would agree to this.
"Come in." Rosette said. Mary opened the door and walked inside the room. Rosette's room was pretty neat not much was in there either.
"What do you need me to?" Rosette said from the bed she was reading a book which is rare for someone like her.
"I need you to do me a favor." Mary sat down on the edge of Rosette's bed. Rosette slowly put down the book and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Is it okay if Marie comes and says with you? Just for a little while though." Mary asked in a rushed voice.
"Yeah, sure not a problem. If it keeps Athena, you, and her happy. And gets me some sleep I don't see the problem with her staying here for a little bit." Rosette said as she put the book up to her face again.
"Thanks Rosette you are the best." Mary said as she walked out Rosette's door and closed it behind her.
Mary ran down to the house of Cancer happy that she was finally able to find an answer to the problem. Mary found Marie sitting in one of the chairs in the living room of the Cancer house staring at the ceiling.
"Hey I have good news for you." Mary said as she sat down next to Marie.
"If it does not involve the death of that stupid crab then I am not interested." Marie was still looking up at the ceiling. Mary shook her head,
"Well no, not exactly but it does involve you getting away from Death Mask for a while." Marie turned to look at Mary.
"I am listening."
"Well how would you feel about staying with Aioria and Rosette for a while until you and Death Mask work things out?" Mary asked her fingers were crossed behind her back.
Marie went back to looking at the ceiling, "Well I don't mind staying with them. Yeah, okay I will stay with them if it gets me away from crab boy I will do it."
"Great then, bring your stuff the Leo temple tonight. Rosette already knows you are staying." Mary said as she got up to head back to her own temple she was starting to get really hungry.
"Okay I will. Thanks Mary." Marie said as she pushed herself up from the chair and she walked into her room to get her things ready.
"Welcome." Mary said as she walked out of the Cancer temple and back to her own. It felt good to have that off her shoulders. She ran up to her temple, as she neared the temple Mary smelled dinner being prepared. She really did not want to go in and be with Dokho right now. Her face was still red from when he had called her sweet heart.
I wonder why Dokho called me that in the first place? Maybe he was just trying to get rid of me, but I don't think that he was doing a very good job of it. What am I saying? Mary listen to yourself would you. You sound like a girl who is… no, that can't be; this cannot be happening to me. Nooooo, I think I am falling in love with Dokho of Libra. No, Mary breath you are not falling in love with him just tell yourself that, about a million times more. Well I have to say that he is kind of hot and what am I saying. Mary, stopping thinking that he is totally hot and okay forget it he is really cute and dreamy. What is wrong with me? I think I am really in love with him. No, no, no, and for the last time no. I am not in love with him my final word. I am a strong girl, I can do this. I am not in love with him! Do you hear that my heart? I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH DOKHO OF LIBRA! Mary thought she sighed as she ran her hands threw her hair maybe a shower would do her some good. Mary walked in the temple and saw Dokho sitting in his chair reading his book. He looked up from his book as she entered.
"I am getting in the shower." Mary called back to him as she walked past him into her room to get a towel.
"Okay." He said and went back to reading his book. He heard Mary get into the shower and turn the water on he continued his book. By the time Mary had gotten out of the shower dinner was ready Dokho and Mary ate dinner in complete silents that night and then after they had finished dinner Mary went off to bed.
Mary yawned as she pushed herself out of bed and got dressed for training, she was walking out her bedroom door tying her long brown hair into a ponytail she walked right into Dokho. And the other thing was he was not wearing a shirt.
Mary blinked, "Go put a shirt on before you poke someone's eye out." She said as she walked around him and walked out of the front of the house. Dokho just shook his head.
"Women!" he said to himself.
Mary was walking down the steps of the house of Gemini when she ran into Valkyrie and Eplis.
"Good Morning Mary." Eplis said smiling at her.
"Mary are you okay?" Valkyrie asked.
"No, I am not okay I got no sleep last night!" Mary yelled running her hands threw her long brown hair. Valkyrie and Eplis looked at each other what was wrong with her, Mary never yelled well unless it had something to with Marie.
"Okay, calm down Mary and breath." Eplis said coming in front of her and grabbing her shoulders. Mary took a deep breath.
"Okay you guys are right I just need to breathe." Mary said.
"Mary how many times have you run your hands through your hair?" Valkyrie asked.
"I think 265 times." She said.
"Wow Mary are you sure everything is okay?" Eplis asked.
"No, very thing is not okay, I just really need to hit someone or something well I think I would rather hit someone and that someone would be Dokho of Libra I want to kill him." Valkyrie and Eplis looked at each other this was going to be a very long day.
"Mary get a hold of yourself, Dokho is just a guy. Okay." Valkyrie said.
"Your right Valkyrie I just need to relax." Mary started to walk towards the training grounds again.
Eplis came to stand next to Valkyrie, "Is she going to be okay? I wonder what happened to her."
"I don't have any idea Eplis but I say we should follow her. I mean just in case she hurts someone." Valkyrie and Eplis ran after Mary. The 3 girls made it to their training grounds most of the girls were there already and all of the girls could tell that there was something wrong with her.
"Is Mary okay?" Rose asked Valkyrie and Eplis came to stand next to her.
"Well from what she told us she could not get any sleep last night but she did not say why." Eplis said.
"Well whatever is wrong it must have had something to do with Dokho." Katie said coming to stand next to Rose he hands on her hips.
"That is what we thought but we are not sure." Valkyrie said shrugging.
"I kind of wish that Adela was here she would know how to get Mary to calm down she always knew her best." Rose said.
"Yup, well we better get ready for a day of hell. You guys know what happens when Mary gets mad don't you." Annabelle said as she walked up to the girls.
"This is going to be fun." Katie said.
"Katie, please don't break anything." Arya said she had been standing next to her sister.
"Don't worry I promise I won't." Katie said and she walked away towards Mary.
"She is going to break things." Arya said.
"Yup." Valkyrie said.
"Girls let's go!" Mary yelled, the girls lined up.
"I really need to get some practice in so I need someone to spar against. Anyone want to fight with me?" Mary asked as she walked up and down in the line all the girls took about 6 big steps back the only people that were standing there were Katie and Marie.
"Both of you want to fight me?" Mary asked her long brown hair falling into her eyes.
"Yeah." Katie and Marie said together.
"Okay, just don't say that I did not warn you." Mary took her hair out of her ponytail and put it around her wrist.
Marie and Katie smiled and looked at each other, "Let's do this."
"Sanctuary, is not going to be standing after this." Eplis sat next to Valkyrie.
"Yup, pretty much." Valkyrie nodded.
Valkyrie and Eplis looked up and Katie, Mary, and Marie were already fighting. All the girls knew that Mary was one of the best fighters out of all of them but she specialized in defense fighting. Katie ran at her throwing punches that all seemed to aim for Mary's face she blocked all of them within seconds. Marie came at her from behind with a kick at her stomach. Mary dropped down to the ground to avoid being hit Marie missed her of course and after the attack had passed Mary pulled herself up by pushing on her legs. She moved out of the way of Katie's punch and flipped over Katie to get better fighting ground.
As Valkyrie, Eplis, and the other girls watched Mary, Katie, and Marie fight. The saints were up and heading down to their training ground. The saints stopped to look at what the girls were doing and they were surprised to see that not all the girls were fighting today. Saga walked over to where Eplis and Valkyrie sat on the fence.
"Why aren't you girls practicing?" he asked as he leaned up against the fence, Eplis turned to face him.
"Because we don't want to die." She said simply she turned back to watch the fight.
"What?" Saga asked.
"Where Mary is practicing you don't want to practice around her it is most likely that someone will get hurt." Valkyrie added.
"Plus she is mad and you really don't want to be near her when she is mad." Arya said from the other side of the Saga. Most of the other boys had come over to watch the three girls fight. Most of them were leaning on the fence or just standing a few inches from it; Shion and Dokho were standing a few feet from it though. Dokho watched as he saw his Protector grab Katie by the front of her shirt and throw her into the rocks which smashed because of the force of Mary's throw. Mary turned to deal with Maria.
"Excuse me." Someone tapped on Shion's shoulder.
"What?" he asked he was not paying much attention this fight was getting to good.
"Would you be Shion of Aries, Pope of the Sanctuary?" The girl voice asked from behind Shion. He still did not turn around to see who was talking to him.
"Your Protector that is who, and do you mind turning around it is kind of rude to talk to people without looking at them." The voice sounded angry. Shion froze at the word "Protector." He slowly turned around to look at the girl that was standing in front of him. The girl was standing with her hands on her hips and she was glaring at Shion. Shion could swear that this girl looked just like him, she was about 5'9'' and she had light green hair and purple eyes, just like his own. Her long hair was pulled up into a high ponytail.
"Hello, I am talking to you." She said again, Shion blinked and tried to say something he opened his mouth but nothing came out.
"Are you just going to stand there gapping like a fish?" she was about 5 inches from his face.
"Mary was right you Saints have no manners at all." Shion tried to say something but he was still in shock that he had his twin standing in front of him.
Valkyrie and Eplis were talking about ways that Katie, Marie, and Mary could improve on when Eplis looked over to where Shion and the green hair girl were staring and smiled, "Adela? Adela is that you?" Eplis ran over to her and hugged her tight.
"Hello Eplis. How are you?" Adela asked as she smiled at the girl, Valkyrie slowly walked over to the green hair girl and gave her a hug.
"Adela you are finally back! When did you get here?" Eplis yelled, Adela smiled.
"Just a few minutes ago, hi Valkyrie." Valkyrie smiled and nodded her head in response. Most of the other girls had noticed the commotion and walk over to greet their friend.
"Is it just me or does that girl look like she could be Shion's sister?" Mu asked as he looked at the girl version of his master.
"Nope, I see it too Mu." Shaka said as he stared never in his life had he seen someone that could look like Shion.
"Where is Katie, Marie, and Mary?" Adela asked.
Eve who was standing next to her spoke up, "They are practicing. But, I actually think that Mary is trying to kill Katie and Marie, she has been weird all morning. Maybe you can help her?"
Adela shook her head, "Let me go stop her before she kills them. By the way Shion I am Adela your Protector. Nice to meet you." With that said Adela took off faster than the speed of light towards the fighting area. Valkyrie, Eplis, and some of the other girl's hair blew as she ran by, it got in their faces.
"This is why, I hate having long hair." Valkyrie said to herself.
"Then cut it." Eve said as she smiled an evil smile.
"No!" Valkyrie protested.
"I think I would be scared if Valkyrie came home with short hair." Eplis said as she looked back and forth between her two friends.
"Yeah, I would which is why I am not going to cut it." Valkyrie growled through her teeth.
"Hey it was just a thought." Eve said shrugging her shoulders.
"Shion, your Protector looks just like you." Milo said as he came to stand near him and Dokho.
"Yeah, you think. I know that already, thanks Mister point out the obvious." Shion said as he watched his Protector come right in front of Mary, she grabbed her foot just as she was about to kick Marie.
Mary gasped as she was thrown backwards, "Mind if I cut in." Adela said as she dealt a blow to Mary's side with her arm.
Mary moved out of the way of another attack and this time she used her attack she raised her hand and a yellow beam shot out her hand it was too fast for the Saints to see it was traveling faster than the speed of light.
Adela somehow managed to move out of the way just in time she then dealt Mary more blows to the stomach and her face. Mary feel backwards and tried to get up but Adela was there, her hand over Mary's throat.
"You still can't beat me." Adela smiled and took her hand away, Mary laughed too. Adela stuck out her hand and Mary took it. Adela hugged her long time friend.
"I am so glad that you are back. I was starting to go crazy." Mary said as she motioned for Marie to come over. Marie had gone to get Katie who hand a few scratches on her face but she was still walking.
"Adela." Marie and Katie said together.
"Hey guys. What is going on?" they high-fived.
"Nothing much, just a little rough housing." Marie said, Adela, Mary, and Katie laughed.
"Marie you can't rough house, you can only hurt." Adela said.
"That is so true." Marie said to herself the girls walked over to the rest of the girls who were waiting by the fence.
"You girls can take the rest of the day off. We will just have a free day today." Mary said, all the girls cheered.
"Okay, you can go now, have fun." Adela said the girls started to wonder away in their separate groups.
Valkyrie, Eplis, Annabelle, Noelle, Eve, Arya, and Rosette all headed down to the rocks to do a little training of their own, Katie, Rachael, and Rose all went up to the house of Aries, Bella went off to who knows where, which left Mary and Adela with the Pope and the Saints.
"Well we are off to do some training." Aiolos said as he and the other saints went off to train.
"I will see you later Adela I am going to take a nap." Mary gave her friend a quick hug and then she started to walk off to the house of Libra. This left Shion and Adela all alone.
"So are you going to show me where I sleep?" Adela asked.
"Yeah right." Shion said as he started to walk up to the Pope's house. This was so weird and Shion felt in a way that his goddess had gone nuts. There was no way that a girl was going to protect him.
They finally made it to the Pope's house and Shion started to walk down the long halls as he passed his servants and guards they stopped talking to one another to stare at Adela, who was now walking beside him. He heard whispers and voices saying thing that he was not happy to here. He really just wanted to get this twin look alike away from him.
They finally made it to Adela's room he opened the door for her, "Here is your room."
"Thanks, bye." Adela said as she sat down on the bed. Shion closed the door behind him and he turned to walk back the way he came, this was going to be a very long day he sighed just to prove his point.
