Tomara- also known as Aries - was sitting in his room in the sky, choosing birthdates for the human center. That was his job in heavens, look at a person's future personality to decide their zodiac sign. It was a simple task, but it wasn't so easy when the quiet sobs of his crush echoed throughout the halls.

As he wasn't sure whether to be sympathetic or annoyed,
Tomara got up from his bed, leaving his book of birthdays open. He wandered around the heavens and tell the faint sobs became loud and pitiful. Tomara entered the room where the sobs were coming from, to see Toya - better known as Capicorn - was curled up into a ball on the floor, sobbing heavily. He was covered in blood and bruises, in addition to his skin being purple. Tomara notice that he was hiding something on his head with his hands, which had sharp claws at the end. He was shaking violently, accidentally scratching himself while doing so. Toya's breathing was jjbbub and shaking, as if he was going to pass out any minute. Tomara ran over to his crush and clutched the boy in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Who did this to you? Tomara demanded, caressing Toya's pale purple face. When Toya opened his teal eyes. He wasn't responding, as his only reply was closing his eyes again and opening his mouth to say something.

"Capricorn" Tomara shook him until he opened his eyes once more. "I said, who did this to you?"

"P-P-Pis" Toya muttered. "Gem"

"Pisces and Gemini?" Tomara asked, continuing to stroke the soft for on his face. Toya nodded frantically in reply, only making himself weaker. "I am going to kick their asses."

"It h-h-hurts " Toya gasps for air. "It really hurts" He repeated over and over again grabbing Tomara's gray shirt and tugging at it. Tomara shushed him, trying to calm him down, only making his eyes close and his heart slow. Tomara wailed and begged Toya to stay awake as he carried him to the healing quarters, where Himiko -also known as Leo- was talking to Jin - or Taurus, if you want to be formal about it.

"Guys" Tomara gasped, clutching Toya close. "We need to help him. Fast."

His two friends took Toya from his arms and rushed Tomara out of the room. Something was happening that they clearly didn't want him to know about.

Tomara pounded his fist against the door, shouting and causing large seen as he tried to get in and seeing what was going on. People stared at him as the walk by, going out the fastest pace possible to make it look like they were still walking.

Eventually they allowed him inside, embarrassed because of his behavior. Toya was lying on a medical bed (which Tomara didn't know they had in the heavens) with an oxygen mask over his face, along with an IV drip. He was confused to why they had this equipment in the heavens, but he didn't question it. Himiko and Jin looked worried, but they were trying to mask it with hope.

"He will be fine in a week or two" Jin said "So you'll have to do his job for a while."

Determination filled Tomara's eyes and spread through his body. "I'll wait forever if I have to. Just make sure he gets better."
