Chapter Nine: When the Winter Jasmine Bloom
Aquarius Dégel's Point of View
By: Lady Mochizuki

Authors Note: Briana saved a pack of Gray Wolves from being destroyed.

I watched as Karida and Lady Belladonna finally got together, and my eyes fell upon the feisty Briana. I heard a soft growl behind me. I knew it was Cancer Manigoldo. I, of course, stopped him before he could ruin Belladonna's happiness by saying,

"Manigoldo, would you rather see Bella happy with someone she loves or be unhappy with someone Pope Sage picks for her."

Manigoldo growls in reply.

I only shook my head and smiled at my friend as he walked up with Belladonna in his arms. I nodded to them both as Brie walked past us because I already knew Brie was dragging Manigoldo away before he said something uncivilly to Karida to cause Belladonna to cry.

I pity Briana.

A few weeks later, Manigoldo and Karida got into a yelling match on the training grounds. We all gathered around them, but before either could come to blows, Briana appeared, sweeping Manigoldo off his feet as she looked at her twin's sister's boyfriend glaring as she pointed to Bella. I hid my smile as Briana and her wolf pack growled and howled, which sent the rest of us running, except for Pisces Albafica and myself.

Pope Sage and Briana were scolding Manigoldo as he sighed and nodded. Brie knocks on the top of his head, helps him off his feet, and playfully kicks him toward Albafica with a smile. I watched as the two walked off. Briana walked away with Pope Sage with the wolf pack in tow.

Sigh.

Aries Shion and Libra Dohko were among the few Saints who weren't afraid of the wolf pack. I eyed them as they were chuckling about something, and it was probably about Briana being "The Enforcer" of Athena's Saints. I realized a lot earlier than Karida I had feelings for the feisty Briana. I just held back for some odd reason.

"Aquarius Dégel, we can tell you like Briana, but we're trying to figure out why you hadn't courted the young lady yet. It is quite obvious you have feelings for the little firecracker." Aries Shion declared.

I felt myself blush as I heard the little wolf behind me say,

"Well, it's pretty obvious you two and everyone else need a hobby instead of gossiping about me."

I watched as Shion and Dohko exited the stage right as I turned to see Briana tapping her feet on the ground and glaring at the retreating Gold Saints. I smiled because seeing two grown men run from Mini-Hakurei was funny.

Briana approached me smiling as she took my hand and looked up at me with a smile. I leaned down and kissed my feisty wolf softly. Of course, Shion and Dohko couldn't shut their mouths before all of Sanctuary found out.

Brie and Bella hugged each other as Pope Sage told me the same thing he to said to Kardia.

Manigoldo and Albafica said nothing, of course, because they were happy for the girls.

End of this Chapter!
