Kou remains unconscious after Harbor. Though about 15 minutes after the incident he stirs and begins to wake up. "Uggh, where am I?" He yawns and looks around sleepily at his surroundings.

"Well looks like your awake" said Kaguya as Kouskue would see that he would be laying out on a covered bench. It was covered on three sides, the back, and then the sides. The senshi of earth was now in civilian clothes and standing in one of the corners of the area. Overall it looked like it was a bus stop that was made to be out of the elements. "I was not sure where to take you, so I was going to take you back to my house. Although I don't have to worry about that now. Or are you still out of it" she asked not sure what kind of shape he was in. Since the guy just woke up from passing out from the battle that they were in.

As Kousuke looks around and takes in his situation he looks at the girl and squints for a minute. "Oh~ you're the earth senshi." He says as he realizes who he is talking to. As she explains where she was taking him he nods. "Nah, it's okay I don't think Ama would like it much if I went to another girls how without at least giving her a heads up." He takes out his phone and texts Ama 'just woke up at a bus stop with the Earth Senshi. Hope you're okay, get back to me.'

After sending the text he looks around again and gets up. As his straightens he starts to strech and yawn. "Well that was a good nap I guess I still more of a raging torrent than a steady stream when it comes to the Earth's power." He says as he works the kinks out of his side.

"Anyways, now that that's over, wanna go get some food?" He asks in a bright and cheerful manner.

"Uh I don't think Ama would mind in this case, and my name is Kaguya" she said and watched Kousuke as he makes a text to someone. Although Kaguya figured that Kousuke was texting Amarissa about something. She waits until he was done although he starts to offer food and she contemplates it a bit "Uh sure, what did you have in mind though" she said and then thought that he was admitting that he was using too much power. Although she thought about if it was ok to talk shop with Kousuke. But it was just her first time fighting as Sailor Earth and with the group. So she did not know if her opinions would be heard by others or even her knight.

"I dunno, but I don't think I'd be much of a boyfriend if I didn't at least try to give some thought to her feelings." He says with a far away smile on his face, in that moment Kousuke looked more composed than his usual youthful exuberance lent him. Though the moment passes quickly and a boyish grin breaks out across his face and he looks up.

"Let's go get beef bowls." He says as he looks around. "So where are we actually...Oh actually what actually happened?" He asks now remembering how events had played out before he fell unconscious.

Kaguya gave a nod of her head "That's fine with me and what happened after you passed out" she sighed and then has a serious look on her face. "I'm...not sure but after you passed out from the air bulls the military came and surrounded us. And these guys were not normal, kind a robotic and first. Anyway....while they surrounded us....something caused Killian to go berserk. As someone fell into the water from the ship. It looked human, I could not tell from my postion as I had taken cover" she said pausing to get things right since the situation was rather fast. Plus so much happened on her first battle it was overwhelming in general. "Whatever the situation was, I could feel a very murderious rage coming off of him. Kail then moves so fast and almost not caring that he was being shot at by lasers. Slices one of the cyborg soldier's arms" she said and her face showing that her first fight had lightly surprised her.

"As the cyborg's helmet came off, it had a human face and it looked at Ama. From what I understood that happened. That cyborg was Amarissa's father, I think it spooked her and even Kail since something happened and Ama's father started to go in a frenzy...After a bit a flash bang went off and all of the cyborgs vanished. Amarissa just slumped down to her knees just out of shock. Kail took her away since it looked like she was not in any condtion to move. I am sure you would have taken taken her away. But you were out of it, Kail asked me to get you the heck out of there. So that's the end of my tale.....I hope I did not bombard you with too much info" she said and rubbed the back of her head. Since she felt kind of ackward in this situation.

After hearing the explanation he nods. "No, it's good I got the whole story. That means that there's a lot to do." he says with a grin as he finishes stretching and heads towards the beef bowl place. "Well looks like I'm going to need to get a hold of Nazo. It's about time he helped us do something other that bail us out of tight spots and give vague and mysterious hints." he explains as he walks and gives her a big smile.

"Well it sounds like most of this worked out fine. Though Kaguya, if you're going to stick with this job you're going to need to get used to stuff like what Kail did...most of the knights have done something similar at some point." He points out though as he thinks he realizes something and suddenly bows to Kaguya. "Ummm, I'm sorry, I know that I'm your knight so I'm supposed to be your protector and everything, and I probably kinda messed up the system with the whole dating Ama thing, but I will do my best to be a shield and a guardian." he says as he stands up straighter.

"Though it's good if Kail is getting stronger, up until now he's had issues with being too constrained. A knight has to be heroic and passionate and I think that was kinda lost on him since he was trying to be our baby sitter," Kousuke says as he spins and walks whimsically. "Logic isn't where a knight's power comes from. After all we're heroes: dedication, determination, and belief are what give us power." He stops and clenches his fist in front of himself with a smile.

Then he reaches his hand up towards the sun and seems to try to grasp it. "We are the ones who protect this world. We are the light within the darkness, we are the hope that is left when all of the evil is loosed from pandora's box." He announces as his emotional control bursts from him. The knight of hope showing his true colors.

Kaguya sighed a bit and saw that there were major diffrences between the knights so far and just shook her head "Its not that I am not use it but it was just the shear surprise of it. As Kail has been kinda the calm swordsman but the amount of killing intent that he had" she said and then shook her head at what he ment to be her shield and had to laugh. "Eh.....Just do your job with Ama, I can not fault you for following your heart and your priorties are more on her then me. she said and continues to follow Kousuke to the food place in the distance. She then hears about Kou saying that Kail was heeding in his right direction.

"Ehhhh......I think with Kail I think he sees that these battles are life and death. And I think that he is trained on how to use a sword. Is that compared to most of us he has more diciplin and responsibility since he can save a life and easily take it. Plus his personality is more inline with a real life samurai or knight. Then perhaps a shonen hero from an anime like how you see yourself. Or that he has not found that fight to get him to cut lose" she said voicing her opinion of what she saw of the red haired male. She knew about this kind of personality from her father. Just from the various people that came to there store and even then her father himself.

"Nazo is powerful and saved my life, but I think if we rely on his power. We might be able to grow while fighting. But yeah that's why I am fighting so that the Earth will look pretty again. I would like to see wild roses grow again" she said and agreed with Kousuke on them being the hope for this world.

"Thanks for understanding." He replies, though he stops and thinks for a moment then grins. "Well~ You certainly sound impressed with the Mars Knight. I think he's still single so I bet you've got a chance."

As they continue to walk along Kou flinches a bit as she accuses him of being a shonen hero. "Hahaha, well you've got me there. I'll admit that I don't view this situation the same way as most of the others, but to be honest I don't particularly think any of us are 'right.' I'm pretty sure he hates me though." He fiddles with his armband as he admits this and then looks up at the sky. "But I don't know if I would say he takes more responsibility than the rest of us, mostly he just takes a different kind."

"You see Kaguya, trying to take responsibility for the lives the youma take is just going to load you down with guilt, and that guilt will eat away at you, or at the very least it would me. I'm not good at complicated things and I am by no means a leader, but I can be a beacon. Defeating the bad guy and saving the innocent is what a hero, I think sometime the others lose sight of that, but remember no matter how bad the situation you can't stop believing that we can win because if we lose hope or falter how can we expect anyone else to continue?" He points out. Kousuke was the knight of hope, even if he was a lose cannon and poor leader he would believe that they could win and would pull everyone else with him towards that goal.

"As for why I need Nazo...How am I supposed to go rescue Ama's dad if I can't get to where he's being held?"

"He's not for me, the reason I am impressed by him is the fact I know how to fight. So as a fighter I can understand. Like....uh...well you play sports right? You can respect another athlete that's in a different sport and understand them. Its kinda like that" Kaguya said and was being serious as she did not really have any intrest in the redheaded swordsman. "Besides Valdis already claimed him as hers anyway" she joked on that part since it was true in her mind. But as they walked a bit more Kousuke just flinches a bit. And agreed that she pegged him to be a shonen hero from an anime and had to laugh but gets serious again. "Perhaps none of us are since we are different individual. I think Kail might be harder on you. As I think he writes stuff and I think he worries that your blurring fiction with reality" she said and continues to walk with him.

"I think most do realize that they are trying to save lives and defeat the big bad at the end of the day. But as you said we are all individuals so we all different views. Now, your reason for needing Nazo. I am going to break your legs if you do this and I am not joking. That is beyond reckless don't you realize it! I know your trying to do this for Amarissa and going with your ideals are. But I can not and will not support it and I will make sure you don't charge in there blindly" she said as it went from friendly to slightly alarmed. The pink haired girl would make sure that Kousuke would see this as a bad idea. So the threat of breaking his legs was real.

"Before you even do this, talk it over with the group first. I may not be smart or understand complicated things like you. But it does not mean I am without wisdom. Think about it, these guys have firepower equal to our special attacks. From the looks of things they might be even higher then special forces" Kaguya said as she was still had a look of worry on her face.

As Kaguya says Kail is not for her Kousuke smirks a bit. "Is that so? I think you two would be cute together, you'd have this kinda balanced arms race thing going." He chides though then he thinks about what she says regarding that Kail seemed especially harsh on him. "You know I don't know why he gets to do that. I'm the only one of the group who actually has died so far so I don't see why he gets to complain. And if I didn't jump in during the Scorpio fight they'd all STILL be there trying to figure out how to pierce that carapace of his."

As he finishes complaining Kousuke sits down and grabs a bowl of food. Though as he starts shoveling it down Kousuke squints a bit. "Well Kagu, how does one determine where fiction and reality divide in this world? I mean there are kids with superpowers running around an monsters feed on the innocent. If that's not a fantasy scenario I don't know what is. I understand he and you and really most of the group probably want me to slow down and think about my actions, but to be honest with everything I've seen so far if I stop to dwell on it for a little while I might not be able to get going again." He admits in between gulps in hushed tones.

"You're new to this and the stuff at the Harbor really is not the worst of what we've seen. I'll tell you the same thing I've told everyone else, if you want out, which is the smart decision by the way, no one will hold it against you." He says to her as he puts down the now empty bowl with a somber look. "Though you're probably like the others and will say it's your responsibility since you have it, but I will advise you. Don't underestimate how scary death is." He says as his smiles turns strained.

The moment Kousuke had realized he was not invincible was not one he liked to remember. He remembered reaching for Ama and knowing that he couldn't the girl anymore and the powerlessness of that entire situation. However he shoves it out of his mind before the memory can overwhelm him. He would dash towards the goal line and he could take stock of the cuts and fractures after the race was over.

Though when Kaguya starts giving him a worried look Kousuke smiles at her. "Hahaha, you don't need to worry about me. Of everyone in our group I am the one who needs concern the least. And don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."

Kaguya sits down and orders a large bow of the beef bowl and sits down next to Kousuke and looks over at him. "Meh more like the typical thing where you see in a shonen anime with the friendly rivalry thing going on. Perhaps you should talk to him if you have issues with the way he is acting to you. I can not say anything with the Scorpio battle as I was not there. I did have my item at the moment so I could not have helped out" she said and the bowl came to her. The pink haired girl next to him desided to wolf down her bowl as she did feel a bit hungry. Plus Kaguya felt she was low on energy after fighting like that in the harbor battle.

"For myself, I just want you to be a team player for the group. Your actions have been selfish and I have some reasons that are different then Red's. Tell me something, does the Earth have unlimited energy for you to constantly come back from the brink of death? Or perhaps using a lot of overpowered attacks or creating those golems? This planet its trying to fight off the infection that is the Covenant. Its using what it can to fight it back. And so far I have been trying to conserve my power and attacks and go for deathblows. But you on the other hand are just reckless and wasting energy. So you becoming a tree prevented me from transforming at all. This is one of my problems, you are being inconsiderate for everyone else except your self. " she said and ordered another bowl as she was nearly getting done with her first bowl.

Kaguya had to laugh at the fact of running away from her responsability and sighed "Running away makes me feel like a coward. Plus the fact I am ready to face my fate, I rather go out fighting then just hide under a rock. The moment I got my powers it was kinda of an enlightening event.....I heard the planet speak to me...I don't know if you ever got that connection to your powers. But I did, I want to make a difference for the earth. That's why I am careful with my actions I take, as death is absolute and there are no extra lives or respawn points. You should have realized that when you came back to life. But you don't in some extent and that does worry me" she said and got in a normal and thoughtful tone of voice.

"I don't really want to listen to him nagging me." Kousuke replies as he drinks some water, food and water in his system help to revitalize the Earth Knight. "Kaguya, brooding is not the same as being thoughtful. What good is waiting for the team to think of an idea while innocent people are killed if we can do something about it immediately? I work with the team, and I trust that the group can work with me. But everyone planning and debating is not the only kind of teamwork. As long as everyone aims towards the net there is unity." He says as he finishes another bowl and puts down the money.

"But Kaguya, your decision to conserve your power is no less foolish. Not going all out in a life or death situation and not trying to master the tools you have been given to try and protect the Earth is just as thoughtless as using them rashly. What if your ignorance about your own powers causes the earth to need to revive you? Wouldn't the smaller output of you practicing and learning to use your powers have been energy better spent?" He asks as he gets to his feet.

"Also if the Earth is that desperate for energy I highly doubt extravegances like the Golden Kingdom are necessary." He points out "That also seems like something that Endymion the Earth King probably would have mentioned when I ran into him."

After getting to his feet Kou stretches a bit and then his eyes fall back onto Kaguya. "You should follow what you believe it right. That's all any of us can do." He says as he heads out the door.
