Welcome to Gaia! ::

Izumi quickly glanced at the chain, before nodding towards her. "It should work." She stated, before making her way towards the ice. She had to begin practicing considering she had only an hour to start coordinating her new routine. She had to go home and start working on a huge project for science which was her least favorite subject. That was probably the only class she was getting a B+ in. Otherwise all of her other classes she was getting an A- or better.

Hotaru finished her lunch and let out a lonely sigh. It was still difficult for her at school. Friends were hard to comeby because her reputation preceeds her where ever she went since the collapse of the Mugen Academy her father ran.

"I wonder how Chibi Usa-chan is..." She thought to herself.

Izumi made her way into a nearby store, as she searched for something she could buy quick and bring home to eat. She made her way through out the isles, as she took her time. She wasn't in a that much of a hurry to go home if it meant working on her project. She sighed to herself, as she tried to take her mind off of the subject of her project. She then proceeded to grab a box of cereal off the shelf, before heading towards the diary section to grab some milk. It was the cheapest thing, plus she needed more cereal anyways.

She made her way up towards the front of the store after retrieving the milk, before paying for it. She then proceeded to exit the store, before practically dragging her feet home.



Minako hung up her cellphone, as she immediatly noticed she had a new voice message. She typed in her security number, as she pressed a button to play the message. It was from Kou, and he left a list of different numbers for her to call. She began to smile warmly, as she memorized the one to the dojo, before punching it in. She waited a couple moments to see if he would pick up, as she proceeded to make her way home.

Minako began to smile cheerfully, as she began to chuckle. "I was also thinking about you." She stated, as she continued down the sidewalk. If she was correct the dojo that he worked at was on the way to her house. Now all she had to do was find it, so she could surprise him.

"So how have you been since I last saw you? I hope Artemis hasn't caused you to much trouble." She asked, as she looked around for any sign indicating where the dojo might be at.

"If Artemis starts to bug you just tell me and i'll deal with him." She told him, as she held her phone between her shoulder and ear, as she clenched her fist and punched the palm of her other hand. Her phone started to slip, as she quickly grabbed it and held up to her ear. She looked around, as she sooned noticed the sign to the dojo Kou worked at across the street. A mischevious smile formed on her face, as she made her way across the street. She glanced into the window, as she noticed the one way mirror figuring he was in his office.

"As for when you shall see me again, look outside." She stated, as she waved towards the one way mirror.

Minako quickly hung up the phone, as she made her way inside. She greeted Kou with a hug, before kissing him lightly on the lips. She then began to smirk, as she looked into his eyes.

"Surprise!" She said, as she smiled cheerfully. She was glad he seemed surprised by her visit. She glanced around the dojo to see that was empty.

"Where is everyone?" She asked, as she stood on her tiptoes and looked over his shoulder around the room.



Izumi was all the way across town from where Kou and Minako were, when she decided to leave a little present for the senshis while she did her project. She was standing on top of a financial building, with her grocery bag in hand. She held her hand in the air, as a small icey blue sphere formed in it. She dropped it down towards the streets below where it shattered, causing an icey mist. People began to look around confused as they tried to find the source of what had caused the mist. No sooner did it form though it began to disappear. A strange creature had appeared where the sphere had landed. It appeared to be half snake half human made compeltely out of ice. It started to attack the people around it, by grabbing them and absorbing the energy out of them.

Izumi watched for a moment with an evil smirk on her face, before disappearing from the scene. She figured it would be fine on its own until the scouts showed up.

"Sure what about?" She questioned happily, as she followed Kou towards his office. She entered to see Artemis laying down on top of the desk with his back to the door. She quickly made her way over towards him, as she scooped him up into her arms. She immediatly noticed he was sleeping which was no surprise, but she had to ask him if he had seen Luna at all today.
