Chapter 3: The Return

The rest of the day had gone by smoothly for Usagi; she had made three new friends. Even thought she was no longer bummed out about leaving Tokyo, she still missed her friends there. She was now at the track with Amano, Hitomi, and Yukari, a girl she met in her last period class who she found out was best friends with Hitomi. Yukari had shoulder length brownish red hair and brown eyes. While she had an easy going personality she was also a no nonsense type of person. She was currently dating Amano.

"Hey Hitomi you want to race?" asked Amano. There was no track practice that day on account that the coach had a family emergency, so they were just there hanging out.

"That sounds like a great idea," said Yukari, "I even have my stop watch with me."

"Umm I don't know, I don't really feel like racing," said Hitomi.

"Oh come on pleeeease Tomi-chan," begged Yukari as she did her best puppy dog face.

"I guess." said Hitomi. With that she went to the field bathroom that was just on the other side of the bleachers and changed into her sweats, Amano left to do the same. By the time she came out Amano was already changed and ready. They went out onto the track and did a few warm up stretches, before lining up at the starting line. Getting into position they waited for Yukari to say go.

Meanwhile somewhere else, on another planet to be exact, four men led an attack against a mob of what could only be described as youma. The field where they were fighting on was already littered with the corpses of many youma, and men as well. One of the men leading the army has blood red eyes, and silver hair. He was wearing red armor and he has drenched head to toe in the youma's blood. You could see his lust for blood in his eyes, as he ripped through youma after youma. Another man that was leading the army not too far away was also plowing through the youma's as fast as the first man. He had unruly raven black hair that was currently matted down by blood. His eyes were the color of Siena and he was wearing a sleeveless red tunic and beige khaki pants. Dragon hide gloves covered his hands, and on his feet were dragon hide boots. Clasped in his hands was a sword that had been passed down to him. On the base of the blade was the crest of a country. Beside him fought another man with long blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing the uniform of a night of Caeli. This man was also knocking down youma's left and right but he was being more discrete about it. The precision with which he fought was amazing. The last of the men that led the attack was busy fighting the lead youma, which was surprisingly stronger than the others. He had ebony black hair that was cut short and deep midnight blue eyes that you could get lost in. He was wearing black armor that covered his chest, the lower part of his arms, and the lower part of his legs. He slashed upward with his sword then turned his sword at a 90 degree angle bringing the tip of his sword strait down, piercing through the neck right into the chest of the youma. As soon as the youma saw their leader's dead body they retreated.

"Come back you fucking bastards!" yelled the silver haired man, as he swiped down a youma that was trying to escape.

"Ya know I'm pretty sure that all of Gaea can hear you Dilandau," said the raven-haired soldier in a sarcastic tone.

"Shut up Van," he retorted in anger.

"Ok you two stop it now," said the one with blonde hair as he came up to them.

"Stay out of this pretty boy or I'll give you a haircut," Dilandau said as he held his sword near the blonde's hair.

"Allen just stay out of this," said Van as he readied himself to attack.

"Ok all of you that's enough," said a voice, "We have a job to do in case you didn't notice." They turned to the speaker and saw that he was indicating, to them, the bodies that lay strewn about the field.

"Awww, but Endy we were only playing," said Dilandau with mock innocence.

"Can it Dilandau. Oh and the names Endymion not Endy," he said as he turned and left them. They spent the rest of the day burying the dead caring for the wounded and burning the bodies of the enemy.

~Back on Earth~

Hitomi panted at the finish line, grinning in triumph. She had won the race. Amano was currently supporting himself with his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.

“Good job,” he managed to say in between breaths. She grinned at him beaming with pride. When they had regained their breathe they walked back to where Usagi and Yukari were waiting.

“Oh my god!” exclaimed Yukari as she literally pounced on Hitomi. “Hitomi that was so amazing. You broke your personal record.” Hitomi blinked in surprised as Yukari practically shoved the stop watch in her face. There blinking on the neon green screen was the time 00:11:57 seconds.

“That was really amazing you two,” said Usagi, “You both are so fast.” Hitomi blushed at the praise while Amano rubbed the back of his head grinning sheepishly.

That's when Yukari had an idea. She let go of Hitomi and rounded on Usagi asking her to run the Hundred-meter dash at least once. Usagi tried to refuse but when Hitomi and Amano joined in, she gave in. She Started to do some warm up stretches while Yukari bounced around giggling like a little school girl. Hitomi smiled as she watched Yukari's antics and Usagi's grumbling. She started to feel a strange feeling, as she watched them. 'No not now, not after so long,' she thought. That's when the vision hit her.

{Vision: she was at the track, and so weren't Yukari, Amano, and Usagi. Usagi had just gotten in to the starting position, when Hitomi realized that this was something that was either happening now or in a few minutes, so she watched to see what would happen. Usagi was now running the 100 meter dash as fast as she could when she saw herself start to run after her. Just as she was nearing her a beam of light came down upon them both and when the beam was gone so weren't they. The vision ended almost leaving her breathless}

Hitomi looked around her, it only took her a few minutes to realize what the vision meant, and that Usagi was just about the start running. With that Hitomi made her decision. She jogged over to the starting line and got down in position next to Usagi.

"Let's make this a race ok. I want to see just how fast you are," she said as Yukari yelled out the word go and they sped off. They were both running fast, their hearts pumping as they raced down the track. Just as they reach the 50-meter mark a beam a white light came down around them, engulfing the two girls in its warmth. The beam was carrying them both away to another world. In a small clearing in another world a beam of light came crashing down to the ground. As a disappeared two figures were lowered to the ground gently. It was Hitomi and Usagi. Usagi had been knocked unconscious by the amount of energy that had surged through them and Hitomi was on her way to dreamland as well. That last thing that Hitomi saw before she succumbed to the sleep that was washing over her was the earth and moon together in the sky.

"I'm back," she whispered as the sleep over took her.
