Chapter 4

A few days later, Chenoa is rushing about as Heion sits on the balcony with some hot tea and a pastry. She wonders if she should tell her mother about the senshi she had met the other day. "I could but I wonder, that evening was when she disappeared for awhile and when she did return she was in her senshi form. I wonder if it had something to do with the senshi I had met.. What was her name? Sei.. Seiya? Hmmm.. Odd.. that name sounds familiar for some reason. But if I tell her Seiya was there, then I will have to tell her all of it. And I can't I just can't."

"Heion!" Chenoa is standing right next to her daughter trying to get her attention. "Heion? Sweetie? Whatcha thinking about so intently? I called you three times already." Chenoa hadn't said a single word to Heion about her sudden growth spurt. She was acting as if it hadn't even happened.

Snapping out of her thoughts Heion looks to her mother, "I'm sorry. I was just admiring the landscape."

Chenoa doesn't believe her but accepts it. "Ok. Your Uncle just sent word that Kakyuu is here with some others from Kinmoku. We will meet in the great hall in two hours so that gives us enough time to run into the village to get some clothing." As Heion stands Chenoa points out to her that she really needs some clothes for her. "I just don't think my clothes do you justice... and I know you aren't comfortable in them."

"They are alittle on the skimpy side mom. I would love to pick up a couple long dresses." Heion says as she drifts to her thoughts once more. "Should I tell her? I mean won't it be embarrassing if the senshi was from Kinmoku and remembers me and Mom don't know anything about it? There was a feeling though... Some thing that seemed out of place. Like an unknown familiarity."

Chenoa grabs a couple things from the room and comes back out to the balcony where Heion is still standing. "Ok! Let's go Heion." Chenoa grabs her hand and the two of them go through their suite and out the door, making their way through the castle all the way out.

As the enter the marketplace, Heion sees a little quaint shop tucked back out of the main flow of shops. "Mom. Why don't we look in that shop over there?" Heion points over to it and Chenoa looks, seeing in the window a lavender velvet miniskirt and jacket with royal purple thigh highs and fitted tank. In the other window was a lilac chiffon summer dress with a purple cardigan. A simple fitted dress but long, like Heion had pictured.

"Sure I think I see something from here that I like." Chenoa and Heion walk over to the shop and go in. Both of them grabbing the outfit in their size and taking it back to the fitting room.

As Heion goes to go inside one of the rooms she accidently walks in on somebody changing. "Oh Goddess! I am so sorry!" It was that senshi she saw the other day, and frankly she say a little too much of her for her liking.

Seiya quickly throws her outfit on and picks up her things. "It's perfectly ok. I should have locked the door." As she walks out she runs her hand across Heion's jaw line. "I can't keep a beautiful girl like you from trying on an outfit though now can I?" She smiles and walks back into the store.

Heion stands there for a moment befuddled. "What just happened?" She goes into the dressing room, removing her current outfit. As she goes to put on the chiffon dress, she looks in the mirror and stops. She looks at herself and realizes for the first time she is becoming a woman. "Why has the gods and goddesses allowed this? Is it not hard enough being the daughter of a senshi and a kojin? But to now be a adolescent? I was already so confused about things. What am I to do?" She slowly puts the dress on and looks in the mirror, not sure she steps outside hoping her mother will be there, which she is. "Hey mom?" She looks at Chenoa who has the complete outfit that was in the window on along with some lavender flats and a lavender garter belt on one thigh. Shaking her head she walks over to Chenoa. "Mom. Don't you think you are doing a bit too much?" Just then Heion realizes Chenoa was talking to somebody and before she can excuse herself she sees it's the senshi from the other day again.

Chenoa turns to Heion. "No, I'm not doing too much. And since when do you tell me I am too much?" Chenoa says as she sweatdrops. Then she turns to the person she was talking to. "Anyhow. Heion I would like you to meet Seiya. She is from Kinmoku."

Seiya bows to Heion. "Yes, Your Highness, we have met, if only so briefly." She takes Heion's hand and kisses the back of it. Heion stammers and blushes. Chenoa looks at her daughter strangely.

"Seiya, why do you call her that?"

"Queen Kakyuu has told us about her brother's child. She will be most powerful once she is completely awakened. But she will need training." Seiya looks to Chenoa and smiles. "I do know of a couple Senshi that may be able to aid in that since even you yourself can use some refinement." Seiya leans to Chenoa and whispers, "Ultimate Warrior Faithfullove of the Moon Kingdom blessed by Cronus, ruler of Saturn."

Chenoa looks at Seiya and whispers, "StarFighter.." Why didn't she realize by the name? She knew StarFighter was Seiya and from Kinmoku, so why didn't she add it up? Not saying anything for a moment Heion looks at her somewhat puzzled from the look on Chenoa's face. "Well..umm.. I suppose I will talk to Kakyuu about that. I can't be using her senshi without her knowing now than can I?" Chenoa quickly paid for her and Heion's outfits and they grabbed up their belongs. Chenoa practically drug Heion out of the shop.

"Why is mom acting like this? "

The mother and daughter quietly walked back to the castle. Neither saying a word. The walk did not take long and the day was a glorious one. As the approached the castle Chenoa turned to Heion.

"So, when did you and Seiya meet?"

Heion stood there surprised. How did her mother know they had met before? 'Stupid Seiya mentioned it.' She stammered for a minute. "Oh. I guess it was the other night when I couldn't sleep. It wasn't much of a meeting."

"Oh. Ok. Well, I guess it's time for us to get ready." Chenoa walks with Heion as they near the Grand Staircase.

A servant comes running down the stairs and grabs Heion's and Chenoa's hands, "Come, we must get started. Lots of work to do." The servant pulls the two up the stairs and to their suite.

"Momma? What's going on?" Heion asks of her mother, unsure of all the ruckus going on. As they enter their suite they are shocked to see several hand maids in the middle of the parlor room with two tubs with steaming hot water. There is also a setup for a beautician. Chenoa just shrugs her shoulders as if to say 'I don't know.'

The servants make a big fuss over the two women and wash them and wash their hair. As the get out of the baths, they are both ushered to a beautician's chair. Chenoa looks at the girl that comes near her with a pair of sheers. With the look that could kill, the girl puts them down.

"I suppose we will just go for an elegant style. Then we will do your nails and makeup." The girl looks at Chenoa for a minute. "I take it lavender hues?"

Chenoa nods. She can not see Heion but she trusts her daughter's judgement.

After what seemed like hours but was in reality merely about an hour and a half, Chenoa was finally dressed with hair and makeup complete. The dress was an elegant royal purple at the hem and faded to a lighter purple along the neckline. It was strapless and more of a form fitted dress. Slits up both sides to her thigh and 3 inch high heels that matched the dress. Her hair was pulled back with elegant braids and rhinestone combs strategicly placed while it draped her back virtually covering the backless dress. This goddess was dressed to kill, she only wished Kodia was there.

While looking over herself she noticed that the room became very quiet. Chenoa turned around to see her daughter standing in front of her. Her face showed her shock, she was beautiful, but that wasn't what shocked her.

Heion stood there wearing a pale lavender dress with spaghetti straps and a conservative neckline, the back scooped midway and there was one side slit that came about mid thigh. (Not nearly as high as Chenoa's.) She had a lavender wrap draped on her shoulders and her shoes were a slight heel the same color. What shocked Chenoa was that Heion cut her hair. It was very cute, just not something Chenoa would have done. The pale lavender almost white hair was in a bob, the back very short and as the hair came to the front it was longer, framing Heion's beautiful face.

As the two women are staring at each other Peace and Sen'ou come in. "Chenoa, Heion, are you ready for the ball?" Peace asked them offering his arm to Heion.

Sen'ou walked over to Chenoa, "Would you join me daughter of Cronus? It would be my honor." Chenoa took Sen'ou's arm but she had an uneasiness. Ever since Peace confessed his feelings for her she had been a tad bit apprehensive towards males other than Kodia. Not to mention this was her husband's brother, and her sister's father.

"Well, I suppose we should get going then, huh?" Chenoa went to step forward as Sen'ou joined her. Peace and Heion right behind them.
