Chapter 2 Crystal and Pyralis, Ice and Fire, Forbidden
Once Seiya had woken up and insisted that she was fine, she sighed, placing her head in her hands and decided to think about her problem. Yaten or Usagi....the two people who kept her heart both we in love with her... Seiya wanted to cry. She didn't know what to do.
*Knock knock*
"Seiya? May I come in?"
Yaten sweatdropped. "We're all already in here Crystal."
Crystal opened the door giggling. "I should have known."
"CRYSTAL!!!!"
The pink-haired girl turned just in time to be glomped by a girl her age with raven hair.
O.O "Not NOW 'Ralis! We have COMPANY!!" Crystal hissed.
Yaten blinked. "O.o Crystal, who's that?"
Crystal was seriously blushing. "This...is Pyralis...like she said... um... yeah...she's... uh... my.."
"Cousin? ?_?" Ami offered helpfully.
Pyralis fell over.
Crystal sweatdropped. "Nope.... Like she...implied with her greeting....shes my..chou."
Seiya blinked. "Your butterfly..?"
Crystal nodded. "Yup! She's my little butterfly!"
Pyralis hugged her, flashing a little peace sign.
Yaten looked around Pyralis. "I don't see any wings...."
Crystal sweatdropped. "She's my koibito."
The others' jaws dropped. "NANI?!!!!"
Pyralis giggled. "Konichiwa!"
Minna = X______X
Pyralis' face suddenly became serious as she surveyed the scorch marks on the wall. "He was here, wasn't he, Crystal-chan?"
Crystal looked away. "Hai....he tried to finish his job and kill Seiya.."
Pyralis frowned. "Damn him. He's taken too many already."
"He and Majia are out to kill the Starlights....."
Pyralis nodded. "I know. They told me."
Crystal looked at her sharply. "THEY did?!"
The other girl nodded again. "They know them all too well....."
Crystal looked down. "Then the time is coming sooner than I thought...."
"I'll help you all I can, Crystal-chan..."
Crystal looked out the window. "But...why the Starlights? Why'd she bring them into this? Do they know?"
Pyralis shook her head. "They don't know why she involved them..."
The others just sat back watching, thoroughly confused.
The pinkhaired girl leaned against the wall, staring out the window. "I'm just worried about the upcoming battle....sooner or later I'm gonna have to face her one on one. And someone is gonna get hurt! I don't want the others to get in the crossfire..."
Pyralis leaned against the window pane, also looking out the window at the rain pouring down. "That might not be a problem...."
Crystal looked over. "How so?"
"They say two things might happen...either yours or..." she shook her head. "They still won't tell me."
Kakyuu finally spoke up. "What are you TALKING about?!!?!"
Crystal looked at her apologetically. "Kakyuu-san...gomen... it's hard to explain."
Pyralis' grip on the sill tightened and her eyes spaced out. "The darkness...."
Crystal looked over. "'Ralis?"
The raven-haired girl's hands were slack as she stared into space. "Its closing down upon your world....You must be wary...."
Crystal's eyes wavered slightly. "'Ralis...."
Pyralis jumped. "Oi...." she placed a free hand over her head. "What'd I say this time?"
Crystal smiled slightly. "The darkness is coming, and that we have to be on our guard. I used small words so that Yaten will understand what we're saying."
Yaten growled.
Pyralis sighed. "I wish I could hear myself when it happens..."
Crystal smiled lightly. "Its...alright..." she placed a hand on her forehead. "Ugh.."
Pyralis looked over, concerned. "Are you alright?"
"I'm not...sure....I think....I used...too much energy......" Then her eyes rolled back, her legs buckled, and she fell forward.
Pyralis just managed to catch her. "Crystal!!!"
Seiya jumped up. "Crystal!" This was no time for her own problems. Her friend was hurt.
Yaten looked over worriedly. "What happened?!"
Pyralis slowly sank to the floor hold the girl tightly. "Oh, Kami..."
Seiya was frantic. "What's wrong with her?"
Pyralis was near tears. "She's exhausted herself...."
Kakyuu was worried. "....how did she?"
Pyralis shook her head. "I don't know...." she hugged her tightly and started to cry.
Seiya looked away. "Probably looking after me...." she clenched her fists. "Damn you Majia...."
Pyralis paused. "Shh.. I think...you might get to tell her that yourself in a moment, Seiya-san..."
Majia appeared in a flash. "Hmm....I thought I was rid of you two pests." She glared at Seiya and Yaten.
Pyralis' eyes went wide and she shrunk down, hugging Crystal tightly.
Majia's eyes narrowed. "You.... You're that fire child that my 'sister' ran away with..."
Pyralis swallowed hard and Yaten frowned. "What's your problem?"
Majia smirked. "Obviously, you wouldn't understand, but I'll tell you anyway. Crystal is a child of Ice, that girl is a child of Fire. Love between an ice and a fire child is forbidden.
Yaten glared at her. "...you mean like Seiya?"
Majia nodded. "Exactly. The other form that you three took on Earth is forbidden by the senshi code of our world. And once I have the throne, our rules shall be your rules."
Seiya growled.
Pyralis spoke quietly and fiercely. "You won't get Arctic."
Majia laughed mirthlessly. "I can take whatever I please fire child. I can take my 'sister' and get the power of Arctic at any time I want."
Pyralis held Crystal closely with one arm and created a fire ball in her other hand, eyes blazing.
Majia narrowed her eyes. "You throw that fire ball and the Starlights will die." she motioned towards Kal who appeared behind the Lights.
Pyralis looked over and glared back at her. "Damn you."
Majia smirked. "And don't think of using your 'talents' either. Kal knows of your power as well. And once I have the power of Arctic, I could use the powers of a Speaker. One who can hear the spirits."
Pyralis swallowed and tensed. "No. I refuse."
Majia snapped her fingers. Almost immediately Kal grabbed Yaten and pulled out his sword.
"Yaten!" Seiya gasped and started to leap to the girl's aid but Majia spoke again.
"If I snap my fingers again the Starlight dies." she turned to Pyralis again. "You care to rephrase your answer you worthless Fire child?"
Crystal's eyes fluttered open half way. "Leave her....alone....you witch..."
Pyralis looked down. "Crystal...."
Crystal struggled to her feet. "Leave...them alone Majia...its me you want..." she winced. "So leave them be.."
Pyralis hugged her. "Crystal please don't..."
Crystal shrugged her off. "Stay back 'Ralis......."
"But--"
"I don't want you to get hurt.....so stay back."
"But Crystal..."
"STAY OUT OF IT!!"
Pyralis looked hurt and cringed back.
Crystal's eyes took on a look of apology. "I don't want you to get hurt..."
"But I don't want you to be hurt, either...."
Crystal smiled. "Don't worry...."
Majia made a gagging face. "Oh how sweet. Well sorry to spoil this moment but you know what has happened on the mother planet, don't you Crystal. You've become the forbidden child, forsaken by our race. You have no home now."
Crystal glared at her. "You're wrong Majia. My home...is with 'Ralis and my friends.."
Everyone nodded, even Yaten nodded, well, as best she could with a sword to her throat. >>;;;
Crystal stood up straight with a little difficulty. "You can't hide behind Kal's sword forever Majia. Sooner or later you and I....we will fight. And Kal won't be there to put a sword to someone's throat to stop me from killing you."
Uranus, who had crept up behind Kal during this entire conversation, put her own sword up to Kal's throat. "Go ahead and fight her. I don't think he'll be doing anything anytime soon."
Sorry if this chappy seemed to focus on Crystal and Pyralis too much. This chapter was role played entirely and changed to narrative format. There will only be a few chapters focusing on them so do not worry. ^__^ R & R!!!
