A Zodiac Hero [BNHA]

Chapter 18-Kaminari

I looked around in confusion. Who was the spirit? What did he want with Scorpio, and why did he call her by her full name. No one did that. I had so many questions. Yet there were no answers.

Scorpio was now sitting separated from Taurus, her arms wrapped around her knees. Everyone else was talking like normal, but I could sense the tense air. If twenty-four spirits were surrounding the house, that meant that all of their parents were dead. But why?

I wanted to be the one to comfort Scorpio. I wanted to be the one whose arms were around her. But no. It was Taurus. I didn't know their relationship but it sure looks like they're dating. I shouldn't be jealous right now but I am.

"I think we should go upstairs," Libra said quietly. "Maybe watch a movie or two." Taurus nodded, and Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini simultaneously lifted all of our sleeping bags into the air and went up the stairs, our sleeping bags in tow. We go up as well to find that the sleeping bags have been set up exactly how they were downstairs.

I found mine and sat down, as Taurus went into the room behind the tv and did something there to turn it on. Then started playing an American musical. There were Japanese subtitles, but still, it was a bit hard to keep up, since the entire thing was going so fast. Then one of the songs came on, and Scorpio started muttering it under her breath, the entire song word for word, each at the same time the actress said them, and soon she got louder and louder until she was actually saying the words. And then Taurus was chipping in for the boy parts, and Pisces chimed in for the other girl parts, and they looked so put together.

It was almost as if they had done this a thousand times. Knowing them they probably practiced this. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the side of Aquarius' mouth quirk up into a smile. He rarely shows emotion, so even that was big for him. When I turn back to Scorpio there's a smile on her face that I never want to disappear. "Are you done?" Aries asked although I see a trace of a smile on his face. That was weird. I knew Aries hated Scorpio. Or at least it always looked like it. They fought like cat's dogs, constantly.

The smile on Scorpio's face didn't disappear. Didn't even falter. "Yep." She answered, with that bright smile on her face, her light pink lipstick sparkling in the light of the tv. Then we continued watching as if nothing happened. A few of the other Zodiacs sing to some of the other songs too, but none of them got quite the reaction Scorpio got.

When the musical finishes, Aquarius hurries into the room behind the tv this time and then turns something else on. A Japanese movie this time. Except it came out yesterday, and it was only playing in movie theaters. "This movie came out yesterday. There's no way to get this." I whispered to Aquarius so that no one would be bothered by the noise.

He smirked. "There's a way to find everything. Either through legal means or not." Aquarius shrugged and went back to watching the movie. I just sit there gaping at him. He got it illegally! That's...actually really cool. At least now I can brag to the other people in 1-A that I watched the movie before them.

"I'm hungry," Mina complained at the end of the movie. Cap yawned, and soon it was just a room full of yawning people.

"To the kitchen then," Taurus smirked, and then got out of his long basil-colored sleeping bag. Scorpio got up, and ran to the kitchen, with a giant smile on her face. When I got there I understood why.

We hadn't been in the kitchen, so I didn't know all this was here. There were three pizzas, of each type. There was Margherita pizza, plain pizza, and then veggie pizza. Aries grumbled something about how there was no meat lover's pizza but I pushed his comment aside. There were twelve bowls laid out on the marble kitchen island, each with an assortment of snacks inside. "How did you guys afford all of this?" Kirishima asked, raising a red eyebrow.
