A Run From Destiny

Chapter Eight

A/N: thank you to those who have reviewed. To Princess Raven, yes, in Greek Mythology Zeus and Hera are siblings, but they are also married. I used the names from Greek Mythology to match the planets of Roman mythology, but since these kings and queens are not gods and don't live on mount olympus, them being related has no real bearing on the story. Hope everyone has enjoyed it so far.

The Three Lights were going to be in a new musical, but according to the director, Seiya was doing everything wrong. Serena felt bad for him as he was really depressed. Jason thought it was funny. He also thought it hilarious that Seiya kept trying to figure out who he was.

"Why don't you ask Serena?" He said, smirking. He walked away. Seiya sighed and looked at Serena who was talking with Nate animatedly.

"You know, for a popstar you're really dumb" Taiki said, walking up to his brother. Seiya glared at him.

"If you have something to say, then say it" He snapped.

"Yaten and I figured out the relationship ages ago. I am surprised that you haven't" Taiki said. Seiya narrowed his eyes and Taiki sighed. "Seiya, do you even pay attention during role call?" Seiya blinked and thought back to every time the teacher called thier names.

"Thompson, Serena. Thompson, Jason"

He felt incredibly stupid.

"They're siblings aren't they?" He asked. He glanced over at Nate.

"What about him?" He asked.

"That is Jason's best friend" Taiki said.

"geez, Seiya, do we have to do you all your detective work?" Yaten asked, walking up to them. "Nate is like a brother to Serena and never lets her out of his sight, they also have a guy named Kale and his wife Zoey who also keep a very close eye on her"

"Why?" Seiya asked, frowning. "She has a life too"

"That answer you will have to find on your own" Yaten told him. He shook his head and walked away.

During the Math exam, Serena was strugling. She had studied, she just wasn't on her A game. She kept thinking about Galaxia and Kakyuu. Every time she thought she could feel Kakyuu's presence it would fade. After school, Seiya stopped Serena outside the classroom.

"Would you like to get a bite to eat?" He asked. Serena hesitated. Nate came out of the class.

"Serena, we have to go home" He said firmly, giving Seiya the death glare. Serena smiled apologetically and left with Nate. Seiya slammed his fist into the wall.

"You might break your wrist" Seiya turned to see Mina standing behind him. "You really like her don't you?"

"I feel drawn to her. I don't know why" He said. Mina sighed.

"Most men do" She replied. "And most of those men are creeps. That is why her brother and his friends watch out for her like she's made of glass" Seiya sighed.

"What do I do?" He asked. Mina was quiet for a moment.

"Be patient and friendly" She said. "Don't hit on her. She has wounds that go deep and she isn't read for romance. Jason dosn't think she has the strength to say no and he's right. The last guy that was in love with her kidnapped her"

"Why are you telling me this?" Seiya asked.

"So you understand" Mina said. "her fiance was able to save her, but now he has wounded her even deeper than her kidnapper. Jason will snap anyone, like a twig if they hurt her anymore" She smiled. "Her fiance didn't just destroy her, but he also destroyed Jason, by sleeping with Jason's girlfriend" Seiya's eyes widened. No wonder Jason didn't want any men around his sister.

"I understand" He said quietly. "I have to go to rehearsal"

At the rehearsal fan girls were gathered to watch the Three Lights practice and commented on how cool they looked.

"This is no good" The director yelled at Seiya, who was getting frustrated. Serena walked in just as they were wrapping up. Seiya jogged towards her.

"I'm really sorry about earlier" She replied. Seiya shrugged as the director began yelling again.

"She hates me" He muttered. Serena glanced at the director. It was Sister Angela, a nun from the catholic school. After rehearsal, Seiya and Serena followed Angela to the catholic school and Seiya confronted him.

"How can you live two lives, when you are no good in either one?" He asked accusingly. Sister Angela turned to face him.

"What about you" She countered. "You're doing a fairly rotten job" Seiya was taken aback.

"He's trying" Serena protested.

"Not well enough" Angela said. "I've seen you in concert" She informed him. "That's why I asked you three to be in the musical. Your singing was so powerful, I felt as though you were sending a message to someone" She was quiet for a moment than lookd up at him. "You have so much passion when singing. Why don't you feel that my musical deserves the same passion?"

Seiya was surprised and sat back in his chair.

"I guess I never really thought about" He said. "I promise to do better" Angela smiled. When Serena and Seiya left, Serena apologized again for blowing him off after school.

"It's okay" Seiya replied. "Really" He looked down. "You're brother doesn't like me very much does he?" Serena smiled.

"Oh, he doesn't like any men in my life" She said. "I have to go home. See you in school tommorow"

That night Seiya and Angela stayed late and rehearsed, his dance and singing routine. During a break, Angela went to get coffee and was attacked by Iron Mouse.

Seiya heard her scream and ran to her rescue. Iron Mouse fired two golden energy blasts at him and then fired two more at Angela, removing her Star Seed which quickly turned black, transforming her into the Phage, Sailor Director. Sailor Iron Mouse teleported away quickly.

Seiya transformed into Sailor Star Fighter and attacked with Star Serious Laser, which severely damaged the Phage. She didn't know what to do. She had no one of contacting Sailor Moon, and she didn't have the power to turn the Phage back into a human. Luckily, Princess Sailor Moon appeared and healed the Phage.

"Thank goodness" Star Fighter said. "I thought I was going to have to kill her" Princess Sailor Moon was thoughtful.

"I take it I am the only one able to turn them back?" She questioned. The Starlight nodded.

"Take these" She said, extending a hand. In her palm were three compacts.

"What are they?" Star Fighter asked.

"They are devices we use to stay in touch. All you do is press the red button and all of us will get the call" Sailor Moon replied. Star Fighter and watched Sailor Moon walk away.
