Seal of Stars: Light of The Zodiac

Untitled Part 6

"Find anything yet?" Ikki asked when he met back up with Shun and Shiryu. Hyoga had yet to arrive.

The four had been given nearly four hours to settle in and rest. During that time Tatsume used the computers of the Greece Branch of the Graud Foundation to scower the many different hotel reservations from foriegn countries. He had come up with a little over forty reservation hits for large groups of people from thirteen hotels. The Bronze Saints had then set out, dividing the names of each hotel between them.

Shun and Shiryu looked at each other then shook their heads at Ikki. "Nothing but family reunions and wedding reseptions on my end." Shiryu said.

"Same here, but I also got high school proms and a couple of wild college parties." Shun hung his head. "Nobody looked even remotely like those girls at the airport."

Ikki placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Don't worry, maybe Hyoga will have better luck than us."

"Should we go look for him?" Shiryu asked. "I can scense his cosmos. It's not too far from us."

The two brothers nodded and the three took off to find the Cygnus Saint.

Hyoga was beginning to get frustrated. He had already gone through two of the four hotels he'd been assigned to and still no luck. The blond was now standing in front of the third hotel and hoped this one was the one because if Tatsume's information was faulty... well nobody would really blame him if something happened to the annoying bald manservant. The only thing Hyoga really knew about his target was that she was Japanese. Her accent, name, and the words she spoke back at the airport gave away her ethnicy.

Hyoga sighed as he walked in and made his way to the front counter. He had a feeling there was something off about that Sakura girl, her and her 'doll'. Now he knew for sure.

"Excuese me," He called the attention of the desk clerk, a young redhead girl who was busy with files and had their back to him. When she turned she blushed at the sight of the blond haired, blue eyed man in front of her and immediatly hurried to him.

"Can I help you, sir?" She asked pleasantly, smiling cutely and batting her eyelashes at him a little.

Hyoga gave a small smile back for politeness' sake. "Yes, I'm looking for a group of high school kids from Japan. They might have checked in this hotel today."

She seemed confused by the request and he could see the beginnings of suspicion in her eyes. Hyoga steeled himself, now he had to do the only thing didn't want to do. He had to use his charms and make her fawn over him. He hated doing it, especially since he already had someone who was loving, caring, beautiful, gentle, and hopefully willing to forgive if he ever found out. But it was for a good cause. Sometimes Hyoga cursed his girl magnet looks. He sent a quick mental apology to Shun before leaning on the desk and closer to the girl until he was mere inches away from her face, which was now flushing.

"It's very important I find them." he said reaching for a stray red hair and tucking his behind her ear and letting the tips of his fingers drag along her jawline. Hyoga glanced at her name tag. It read Demetra. The action made the clerk go bright red. "You see, Miss. Demetra, I have friends named Sakura and Tomoyo in their group and I have to get in contact with them. What do you say? Help a guy out?"

The red in the face clerk stuttered, "Y-y-yeah, sure..." She went over to the computer and typed in a few key strokes. Hey, he was a hot guy! Protocol can take a hike for all Demetra could care. She didn't get hit on by handsome men with sexy accents very often. Hyoga waited patiently but still attempted to see what was on the screen. "Sir, we do have reservations for a group of twenty-three under a Isao Takamichi from Japan. They checked in a little over four hours ago."
