A Card A Day

"Taiki, I can't see over your giant forehead!"

An irritated noise came from the usually calm and composed Taiki. "My forehead is not gigantic. I just choose to pull my bangs out of the way."

Seiya waved his hand impatiently. "Shut up, you two! She's coming out now!"

All three of them grew quiet as they watched the girl walk out of her house, calling a quick goodbye over her shoulder. She made her way past the gate, and stopped at the mailbox. She eagerly reached for the envelope inside and opened it right away. Her face fell as she pulled out a card, her golden brows furrowing as she tried to make sense of the latest delivery.

Shaking her head, she smiled brightly and kissed the card, tucking it carefully into her pocket before running off to school. Once she had disappeared from their view, the three spies heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well, she got the first one," Yaten said.

"I hope she figures it out soon enough," Taiki added.

Yaten nodded, and shot a quick glance at their unusually silent leader. "Ne, Seiya ... Are you really okay with her thinking that it's from her lover?"

Seiya looked up in surprise. "Well ... It's definitely not from him. I mean ... Once she gets the message ... It'll be fine ..."

An awkward silence settled over the group before Taiki checked his watch. "Oh, dear. We'd better get to school soon. It would not look good for us to be late on our first day of school."

Yaten whined. "Taiki, you're the only one who wants to go! We don't need to learn Earth stuff - we'll be out of here once we find our Princess, anyway!"

Taiki made a 'tsk'-ing noise, similar to that of a mother mildly reprimanding her child. "It will not do for us to always be idols. It is important that we get the Princess' attention as soon as possible, but it is also important to conceal our identities from Galaxia's minions. School will provide an alternate haven of safety, so to speak, and further disguise the true purposes of our stay on this planet."

Yaten made another complaint as they made their way to their new school, but Seiya droned it all out. Instead, he fell slightly behind the two, pulling out another card. He rubbed his thumb over the surface, watching as it blurred slightly before focusing upon the golden-haired girl as she rushed to get to school on time.

Seiya smiled a bittersweet smile, kissed it, tucked it carefully into his pocket, and ran to catch up to his companions.
