Damn, Taurus was an amazing kisser. Aquarius wanted more and more but she realized she was human and needed air. They both held hands as they walked back to the boys dorm.

His hand was warm and reassuring almost like he was supporting her with just a handhold. He had a goofy smile the whole time they walked, he looked adorable. His darkened brown hair fell in front of his forehead.

Aqua lifted her delicate fingers and gently swept it away. They reached Aqua's dorm room. "I had a great time." Aqua said shyly, remembering their passionate kiss. "Me to. See you tomorrow at training?" His cheeks were rosy. "Yea, see ya." She looked at the ground and waited for him to go.

Taurus lifted her chin and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Keep your chin up." He said and smiled. He walked about 5 doors down to his room and waved goodbye. She waved back smiling sadly. Aqua wanted to spend more time with him.

She unlocked her door with her key and walked in. All the lights were off and she could hear Aries quietly snoring away. She looked at the clock it read, 12:30am, it was late especially since she had training tomorrow. She didn't have any night clothes, she would buy some later so she snuck into Aries's closet and stole a large shirt that for her went up to her thighs it was more of a night dress.

She slipped into the bathroom and changed into the soft and comfy shirt. She hung the dress in her closet, ready to return it and hung her bag on the closet door knob. She slumped into bed and nuzzled her way under the covers. She sighed at the warmth and slowly fell asleep while daydreaming and fantasizing about Taurus.

"WAKE UP!!!" A voice yanked her from her dream and she was forced to wake up. "WHAT THE HELL" she yelled without thinking. "We have to get to training soon, we have a mission, a big one!" He exclaimed. "Ok ok let me get ready." She took the covers of and walked to the bathroom to brush. "Hey! Is that my shirt?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yea I borrowed it last night since I don't have any nights clothes." Aqua said happily. Aries grumbled something to low to hear. After brushing she looked through her closet for something suitable to wear. "Crap! I have no clothes!" She remembered, all she had were her undergarments. "Can I borrow-" she started "no." Aries said mindlessly and went back to listening to his music. "Fine!" She opened the door and walked into the hallway right down to Taurus's room and knocked.

The door opened after some shuffling. "Huh who is it?" Taurus was rubbing one eye, he had just woken up as well. His hair was hilariously messy, he had a bed head. Aqua almost laughed. "It's me Aquarius." His eyes widened instantly at her name. "Aqua! Sorry about my appearance, yea what did you come here for?" He leaned against the doorframe and put his hands in the pockets of his checkered pajama pants.

He glanced at was she was wearing and gulped. The shirt only came up to her thighs, and revealed the rest. He tried hard not to just grab her and kiss the life out of her. "I need to borrow some clothes, I don't have any at the moment." She twiddled with her fingers. Taurus blushed at the thought of Aqua in his clothes, her smell would stick to it. "Of course." He moved out of the way to allow her in. "Hey Taur, why is your girlfriend here?" Cap walked out of the bathroom.

He was clean and wore a white shirt and tan pants. "She needs to borrow something." He ignored the girlfriend comment. "Aqua I received a message saying that we have to be at training, because we have a special mission." Cap said excitedly. "MISSION?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" He dug around his closet and grabbed a dark gray hoodie that matched his eyes and dark blue jeans.

He threw his shirt off, forgetting Aquarius was here and quickly put on his hoodie. He glanced at Aqua and nervously laughed "better change the pants somewhere else. Oh and choose whatever you like." He moved to the bathroom and shut the door, the water began running, guess he was brushing to. She looked through his clothes and they all had the satisfying smell of strong aftershave, which Aqua really liked on men.

She finally came across a superman tee, but she couldn't find any pants that fit. "Tell Taurus I will see him at training." She yelled to Cap and ran down the hallway back to her room. What was she going to do for her bottom? She remembered she wore small black shorts under her dress in case if wind decided to flash her.

She grabbed them and ran into bathroom and threw on the clothes. Overall it looked really cute, the shirt a bit big and the shorts a bit short, it definitely looked like a last minute gym look. Her long hair fell in waves at her shoulders and slightly curled at the ends. "Ok I'm ready lets go!" She announced to Aries.  "Finally!" He raised his arms.

They both left the room and Aries locked up. They jogged down to the training grounds and opened the door. Everyone was here except Taurus and Cap. "They have one more minute." Libra impatiently tapped her foot. The door swung open and Taurus and Cap were panting. "We made it!" Taurus yelled happily.

He walked up to Aqua and Cap decided to flirt with Gemini. "Alright, listen up this is very important." She raised her voice up a level. "Our mission is to eliminate as many infected as we can, your kills will be counted,winner doesn't need to train for a week." Everyone cheered at the reward.

"So it's like another one of those simulation mission we have had before." Leo shrugged. "No, this one is a real life experience, we will go down there, and kill infected." Libra squinted. Everyone stopped cheering. "But since this is a situation where you can die, coming on this trip is optional, we will be out there for one week. Now raise your hand if you don't want to go." Taurus trembled and itched to raise his hand but he wanted to see what's down there

. Aqua reached for his hand and squeezed. He looked down on her and she mouthed it's ok. Taurus nodded and stayed. After a few moments a few people backed out. Scorpio raised his hand with no shame, then came Cancer and Sagittarius, they weren't willing to risk their lives for a week of no training.

"Anyone else?" Libra asked finally. "Ok you three can head back to your dorms." She looked at the exit. The three left and there was only 9 of them. "Alright the rest of you, this will also be a test of survival, you will bring nothing but your weapon, food and water you're going to have to figure out." Libra sneered. "Understood?" She said loudly. Everyone nodded their heads. "Good, now grab your weapons and let's go to the gates."

Everyone grabbed their weapons and Virgo grabbed her own medical kit she had created and made their way to the gates. Everyone called it the gates to hell, and it lived up to its name, on the the side you can hear groaning and moaning of the hungry infected and you could see the desolate and barren land. Aquarius was scared, she felt her heart beat rapidly as they neared the gates, she might die within this week.
