"Did you find anything?"

"No sir. Nobody fit the description you gave us. I'm sorry."

"Very well. Dismissed."

Virgo nodded and left Ophiuchus in the study by himself. Ophiuchus looked through the big window overlooking the city and sighed. The place was only so big so it wouldn't be possible to hide for two years straight. Ophiuchus sighed and pulled the curtain closed. He sealed off every possible light source and sat in the middle of the room with his legs crossed.

"Reveal to me the location of whom I seek."

The shadows under Ophiuchus moved in front of him and formed a screen. The darkness faded to reveal a clearing in a forest covered with flowers. Ophiuchus growled and got up. The shadows returned to him and he opened a curtain.

"Don't worry little mouse. I will find you. No matter how hard you try to hide from me."

"Hey. Get up already."

Sagittarius opened her eyes slowly and blinked at the bright light in the room. She glanced at the person calling out to her and sat up. "Who are you? What happened to Blaze?"

"He'll be lucky he lives past tonight after what he did to you. Master was very angry. But enough about that. It's time to get more mana from you." The new person stretched his arms and moved to the bed she was on.

"Can I at least know your name first? Please?" Sagittarius moved over to allow him space on the bed.

"It's not important but my name is Blade, Blaze's younger brother." Blade sat on the bed and examined her neck carefully.

"Are you really ok with your brother dying over an accident? Shouldn't you say something on his behalf to help him out? You guys are family."

"He should've known better. Our race has no say in what happens to us when we break out master's rules and he broke the biggest rule. Now quiet down so I can do my job."

Sagittarius sighed and leaned her head to the side, making her neck presentable. "Even so, I'm sure there's something you can do. You shouldn't be alright with just letting him die. He has feelings too. I'm sure he'd do something to save you."

Blade ignored her and sunk his fangs into her neck. Even if he could've done something he wouldn't risk his own life just to save his brother. They may be family but that doesn't mean they got along.

"I swear I'll drown you the next time you do something like this. And this time I'm serious!"

"Calm down Pisces! I'm sure Gemini had a good reason for whatever it is that she did. Isn't that right Gemini?"

"You mean other than being annoying?" Pisces rolled his eyes and began walking away.

"You're always so serious. I just wanted to see you laugh for once. Life is more fun when you smile." Gemini smiled in his direction and ducked when he threw a ball of water at her.

"If you saw half the things I've seen then you'd be better off. Let that be a warning. Just leave me alone next time." Pisces stormed out of the room.

"Can he be any more depressing? Back me up here Taurus." Gemini turned to Taurus who had a disappointed look on her face.

"Why don't you leave Pisces alone? He doesn't talk to any of us and I'm sure there's a reason for that. Why don't you go prank Aries or something." Taurus suggested.
