Failure

[Seiya Kou]

The boy was shaking when he returned to the flat. He had failed his father's orders by losing the girl to those two soldiers. He wasn't enough. He wondered if Souseiseki could help him, but decided against it. He didn't want to hurt his only friend.

He slowly made his way to his father's office and pushed open the door gently. The man at the table looked up from his work. "Did you get the girl?" His eyes narrowed when the boy hesitantly shook his head. "Why not?"

"Sailor Senshi...They're here too." Misaki Keinji cursed under his breath.

"Then we'll have to do it the other way." he muttered to himself before looking at Misaki Keiichi once more. "You will be attending Juuban Elementary. That school is the same school Maria attends. Did she see you in your human form?" Keiichi shook his head.

"I was Rhapsody the whole time she saw me."

"Excellent. You will earn the trust of Maria and then bring her here, where we will begin our work. Dismissed." Keiichi bowed his head to the man before leaving and going to his room. His heart ached.

This girl, he knew, was related to him somehow. She had a familliar aura, but he didn't know from what. He sighed and looked around his room, hoping he could find Souseiseki.

The brown hair doll wasn’t in the room at first, she seemed to of disappeared from the safety of the house for some time. But it was time for her to reappear, a dull light shone from behind the suitcase. (Of course she hit the mirror she had found so not to get her friend into trouble.) A human hand first came threw before it slowly turned into a more doll like hand, the figure pulled herself free from the glass. She looked kind of roughed up, but nothing serious. She stood there shorting herself out, the last piece of blonde hair disappeared. “No there…” She muttered.

When she turned she saw Keiichi. “Keiichi-kun!” She said brightly as she moved forwards, she smiled before she adjusted her top hat before she held her hands by her side. “Gomenasai for my absence but my presence was needed in the Alice game‘s realm.” She informed him, she moved back towards the mirror she had came from and soon shifted it into the suitcase. She closed it up before she nodded. When she looked back to her friend she noticed the how he seemed to be.

“Keiichi-kun? Is something wrong, I mean you seem kind of down and not too happy about something?” She asked him blinking a few times.

Keiichi shut the door to his room. He walked to his bed and looked down at doll he had become friends with. "My father...He has a new target. Her name is Kou Maria, I guess. There was another part to the name, but it was crossed out so heavily, I couldn't see it. He wants to use her in one of his experiments..."

The boy looked toward his window, seeing it beginning to get dark out. "I don't want to have the girl suffer...But I know once I'm out doing my mission, I'll become the cold hearted bastard I was earlier when I had nearly kidnapped her." He clenched his fists, tears coming to his eyes. "I hate this...But I can't do anything else..."

She moved close to Keiichi and stood by his side, she watched him with her mismatch eye colour, she reached up and took a hold of her hand. She smiled brightly. “I’ll…I’ll help if I have to Keiichi. My duties to earth aren’t as…binding as they were before as I’m only half of who I use to be. I want to help you.” She said as she smiled weakly. Her eyes looked out the window, she felt her eyes narrow slightly, the call of being the Lempicka Senshi was always there.

‘If I could I would, if I could be out of this form but I am bound until this curse is done…’ she thought, her eyes soon looked towards her friend once again. She didn’t like him being upset, she sighed and looked to the side. She wondered what would happen if she was found, taken to pieces and experimented on most likely. She didn’t like the sound of Keiichi’s father at all.

Keiichi brought his eyes to look back out the window. "Maria-san...She's a very beautiful girl. When I first saw her, she was crying...I told her it didn't suit her." The boy smiled weakly. "I just wish her and I could have met on such different circumstances."

[Amatsuiki Tennousei]

She took a hold of Keiichi’s hand. “You can, I know some place you two wont be disturbed. You can talk and that. It’s my realm…” She smiled, her eyes looked towards her suitcase. “I am the guardian of the dream souls, I can enter the dreams and check the life trees. But you can enter and get to know the person.” She said with a small nod. She looked to Keiichi.

[Seiya Kou]

"But if I bond with her...It'll be even harder for me to do my mission." Keiichi looked down, clenching his fists lightly. "I have no other choice right now, Souseiseki-chan..."

[Amatsuiki Tennousei]

She looked at him and she nodded. “I’ll still help you Keiichi-kun, you’re my only friend and I want to.” She moved towards his bed, jumping up she sat upon the edge and watched him. “Keiichi-kun, how about we do something?” She asked wanting to get his mind off of what was happening.

[Seiya Kou]

The boy looked up at her. "Like what?" he asked curiously.

[Amatsuiki Tennousei]

“Anything you wish to do Keiichi-kun…I don’t know exactly what we can do. I don’t want to get you into trouble.” She said innocently.

[Seiya Kou]

"Well...I'd like to see what you mean about other worlds." Keiichi finally said, looking down at the doll.

[Amatsuiki Tennousei]

She nodded. “Where would you like to go?” She asked, she looked to the suitcase as it flickered open showing the mirror. In the mirror it shoes some possibilities and where they could go.

[Seiya Kou]

"I want to go to your favorite place." Keiichi said, looking at the suitcase.

[Amatsuiki Tennousei]

She looked off to the side. “My fave place…Is a world called Elysion. But I doubt I can go there any more…” She smiled to him. “I guess I can call it my home, really Earth is entirely my home.”

[Seiya Kou]

"Why can't you go to Elysion?"
