Leo looked at her through the corner of his eyes and she couldn't look anywhere else except the ground. She stared at his feet which were making huge steps. She had to walk a bit fast to match his pace. He almost chuckled out loud realising how much libra was trying to match his pace so he slowed down giving her the chance to catch a breath. His eyes fell on some children playing together. He stopped. Libra looked up at him and found him staring at something with shocked eyes. She followed his stare until her eyes fell on the same thing leo was looking at. A bunch of kids around the the same age were playing together with a ball. While playing the ball went under a big rock, bigger than any of the kids. They were trying hard to get the ball but it was impossible to get it as it went deep inside a hole beneath the rock. Some of them began to cry out. But then one of the kids about 7 years old came forward and picked up the rock with his bare hands with no difficulty. Both leo and libra were dumbstruked. The kids began to clap. The boy who picked up the rock put it down then smiled looking at his friends.
"He's..." Libra opened her mouth as she gave a slight chuckle. Leo nodded looking at future generation zodiac warrior.
"The next leo." Leo glanced at libra and gave a bright smile. Libra froze. Her heart fluttered watching him smiling so brightly. She almost fainted. Leo noticed the blush across her cheeks then smiled again.
"His appearance made it more easier for us..i can train him...give him my duties then retire and live with you in a peaceful century...thats my only dream libra." Leo thought and a slight chuckle crossed his lips. She couldn't help but smile back for him.
"You must be relieved now that you have found your future?" Libra asked. He nodded.
"He's too young for training though.. i have to wait untill he turns 15." Leo answered. She nodded her head then tightened her grip on his hand.
"Lets return home." Libra smiled. He nodded.

"Good job kids!!." The man in his 50s walked back and forth in front of the zodiac warriors who stood row wise. He wore the uniform of a chief, the name plate in his chest said, " Lt. Robert plunkett"
"Now..next tasks... Sagittarius, trail administrator John... Gemini investigate the other administrators." He ordered . Both the soldiers nodded.
"Cancer and scorpio interrogate all the century gate guards and also the guards of the administrator's offices thoroughly...see if you can get a clue about anything. Aries and Capricorn do the patrolling more carefully and precisely. Leo and libra find out more about the drugs. Virgo and Taurus stay at the quarters and protect the Zodiac quarters. Pisces at the back gate and Aquarius at the front gate.. the orders will remain the same until my next order." Lt. Robert said.
"Yes sir!!" Everyone shouted. Robert sighed.
"But.. don't forget to take care of yourselves...you have to keep yourselves safe to keep others and century safe..so kids..protect each other." Robert placed his hand on Leo's shoulder. Everyone nodded.
"Another notice..chief Jenelia is going to move to the 8th decade district to Thomas since you all are capable of training yourselves and the others too." Robert added. Everyone frowned.
"But...we still need her!" Aquarius cried out.
"Some of us are not capable yet!" Taurus said out giving a teasing glance to libra. Libra pouted.
"Why are you looking at me for?" Libra whined.
"Because you are the one who's not capable yet?" Pisces added chuckling. Libra raised her leg to kick him but he dodged.
"See Lt. Robert?.. she can't even kick." Capricorn laughed.
"Hey stop teasing her!.. but Lt.Robert libra really needs Jenny." Virgo teased.
"Hey!!" Libra cried out. Robert laughed.
"Ok enough kids!" Robert said between his laughter.
"Its ok..leader leo can train her.. won't you leader?" Cancer grinned looking at Leo. Leo gasped as she just said aloud what he was thinking.
"I can." Leo gasped.
"Ok then... Jenelia will be responsible for training the war soldiers, I'll be responsible for you guys, Thomas is the head of military and defence force and chief Michael is the secretary general of military and defence force. These are the orders of Commander in general Robinson Gerham." Robert stated. Everyone listened carefully.
"Thats ok.. I'll train libra hard." Leo smiled pressing his lips together. He glanced at libra and saw her already looking his way.
"Thanks." Leo thought intending for cancer to hear.
"Thankizz." Libra thought as well. Cancer almost laughed out but didn't.
Cancer stopped then rolled her eyes towards Gemini standing still. She could hear his thoughts too. She always knew his thoughts. Cancer, libra and Gemini were together since the time they remember. They grew up at the same orphanage, came at the Zodiac quarters together, became soldiers together. Gemini only looked at libra all his life. It was actually fair for him to want libra, and it was only fair if he got her. But sometimes life never gives you the thing you want the most and the most worst thing is that you have no other choice other than accepting it.
"Sometimes i wish i didn't have this ability." Cancer sighed.
Scorpio slightly brushed his elbow against her shoulder. She glanced at him. He probably understood what she was thinking. He nodded. She sighed nodding back.
"Send the sample to the lab." Leo asked libra. Libra nodded. She stalked out to go to the lab. Someone grabbed her hand. She turned and smiled at Sagittarius.
"Why?" She asked.
"I'll go with you." He said in his confused voice.
"Wanna meet Xania?" She asked.
"How...how did you know?" Sagittarius widened his eyes. She laughed.
"She's my friend!!.. of course she told me that you are siblings!" Libra chuckled. Sagittarius scratched the back of his head.
"I wanted to tell everyone..but you know how it is not allowed to disclose the identity of family members of Zodiac warriors." He explained.
She slapped his shoulder.
"I know..thats because our family members can be used as a weakness against us." Libra added.
"Lets go." Libra slided her hand around his arm as she dragged him towards the lab.
