Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the characters, they belong to the ever talented Takeuchi Naoko. Once again, I'm using the characters as puppets to play out my very twisted ideas. Also, because I like patchwork stuff (sure, that's it), they're female as they were meant to be originally and are in the manga, but with more of the characterization from the anime. And as I like to do, the title is the song title from the SailorS Myu, which translates into Remember Who You Are.

ooooo

The sun was shining and birds were chirping, which meant it was a lovely autumn day in Juuban. At least, that was the theory. Seiya begged to say different. Once again, her attentions to one Tsukino Usagi had been rebuffed for that stupid Mamo-jerk, who didn't even have the decency to respond to the blonde's letters. Rather annoyed by this fact, Seiya was walking through park when she heard a very familiar voice close to the pond.

"Let go of me, jerk!" Nani yo…why am I hearing Yaten's voice …damnit! Rushing towards the voices, Seiya stopped short as she saw a very pissed off and obviously female, Yaten shoved against a tree by some jerk that was holding her there. There would be words later on why Yaten wasn't in disguise-and the reason better be something other than the normal disdain of the chest binding.

"C'mon, just one kiss…YOU BITCH!" Pulled out of her thoughts as the jerk slapped the silver haired female, Seiya quickly rushed forward and pulled the guy off of Yaten, who fell to her knees even if she were still glaring.

"Oi, leave my girlfriend alone!" Who knew why Seiya said that, because she certainly didn't. All that she knew was that her mouth had filled with the tang of blood and that there was pain pulsing in her face.

"Why don't you find someone else, this slut's mine." Growling in anger, Seiya punched the jerk in the stomach before kneeing him in the face.

"Never talk about her like that again." Glaring at him once more, Seiya turned to help Yaten up and lead her home. It was this reason that Seiya missed the possessive look that crossed the bastard's face.

Once a good distance away, Seiya allowed herself to relax, which meant it was times to get answers out of Yaten.

"What the hell happened back there? And why did you take off the binding?"

"Which part?" Hearing the evident exhaustion in Yaten's voice caused Seiya to pause and take in the form beside her. Bruises, gashes, exhaustion and slight depression. This led the leader of the Starlights to calm down in the accusations and to search for the reason before jumping to conclusions.

"Why not telling me why you're so beaten up, hmm?" This time, there was more concern in the Light's voice, replacing the accusations.

"I was getting groceries, or at least that was the plan, but I got sidetracked by a phage…No one else was around, so I fought it, killed it. But it was stronger than some we've fought before…" sighing, Yaten hugged herself, which Seiya saw through her peripheral vision.

"Hai, go on..."

"Anyway, when I de-henshined, I noticed a sharp pain in my sides, so I decided to take the binding off to get rid of the pain. I was sitting down to catch my breath, when that jerk showed up. I'm sure you can figure out the rest." Not knowing what to say, and needing to lighten the mood, Seiya grinned as she placed her hands on her head casually.

"Well, aren't you glad I showed up then, TenTen-chan?" Chuckling at the smack and glare she received, Seiya winked before changing course. "Let's get those groceries, hmm?" and at Yaten's nod, Seiya placed a hand on her back, leading her to the market.

When the two finally arrived back at the apartment, Taiki's reaction to Yaten's current appearance was rather comical. She just stared, blinked, looked between the two and then blinked some more.

"D…doushite?" And then shaking her head, Taiki recalled exactly why she was so upset by this. "Ami's here for our project, so…" Yaten just nodded, handing her groceries to Taiki.

"I'll be in my room, then." With that, Yaten ducked into her room before protest could be offered, just as Ami walked out of the bathroom.

"Oh, hello Seiya-kun…was that Yaten-kun?" The two 'males' in the apartment just blinked and shared a take.

"Hai."

"Oh, well he seemed--" but before Ami could even finish her sentence, Seiya did what she always did, speak without thinking.

"He's not feeling well, probably why he seems shorter!" At the confused look on Ami's face, as she hadn't been planning to say anything about that, Taiki felt a very strong desire to smack Seiya upright the head.

"Well, if you like, I could see what's…"

"NO!" Noticing the confused look at their outburst, Taiki took over, as she knew that Seiya would just make matters worse.

"Yaten hates having people see him while sick and is quicker to anger. So it's just safer to let him get well on his own." Nodding, Ami seemed to drop the subject. "Let me just help Seiya with the groceries, then we can get back to the assignment." After Ami headed to Taiki's room, the tallest of the Starlights looked to her leader.

"What happened? Is this one of Yaten's--" Holding up her hand, Seiya cut in.

"No, she had to fight a phage and was injured, so she had to undo the binding..." The answer seemed to calm Taiki, knowing that if Yaten had fought the Phage alone, than chances of her getting seriously injured were more likely. She also picked up on the things unsaid.

"Did anything else happen?"

"Some jerk was harassing her, roughed her up a bit…" Realizing that Seiya didn't want to get into it, and figuring that it was an isolated incident, Taiki said nothing else and just put the groceries away before heading back to her room. As for Seiya, she was torn between checking on Yaten or just going to her room to work on a new song. Concern winning over, Seiya didn't bother knocking before entering, only to have a book thrown at her head.

"What did you do that – Oh...oh!" it was then that Seiya realized that Yaten had been changing.

"Don't you ever knock!" Once the shock had worn off, Seiya just rolled her eyes with a slight smirk.

"No, besides, it's not like I haven't seen things like that before…Oi! Quit throwing things at me!" At the glare, Seiya had a strong urge to beat her head against something. "Oh, honestly. Would you feel better if I unbound my chest as well?" When there was no response, Seiya just sighed in frustration. Why does Yaten have to be so difficult? "Just let me look at your injuries and help you for once!" Taking the silence as permission, Seiya walked over to Yaten, wincing at the burns, gashes and bruises, she had sustained, not sure which had come from the Phage and which had come from the jerk.

"We need to clean the wounds and bandage them."

"Right…" Not sure what was bothering the green eyed female, Seiya just shook her head before heading to the bathroom to get bandages and anti-septic.

"So, this is probably going to sting--"

"No, really?" Well, at least Yaten was still able to retort with sarcastic quips, so Seiya figured she didn't have to worry too much.

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you." Going behind Yaten who was still holding a sweater in front of her as if it would protect her, Seiya could only grimace at the gash along her back, which was still bleeding. As she placed a hand on Yaten's side to keep her balanced, the whimper spoke volumes, which caused Seiya to leave her original plan for a moment in order to start examining the shorter girl's sides, realizing that her ribs were broken.

"Damn, when you get beat up, you don't do it half assed, do you…?"

"If you're trying to be funny…"

"Calm down. You managed to fracture some ribs…" Seiya had no idea how to care for fractured ribs, but one thing that both of the Lights knew as that Yaten binding her chest for classes was going to be interesting for the next few weeks, as well as fighting.

"Great, just what I need." Feeling bad for Yaten, but rolling her eyes none the less, Seiya went back to the anti-septic, cleaning out the cashes, a slight pang of guilt hitting whenever Yaten hissed in pain. Seiya was relieved that Yaten wasn't complaining, then again, Yaten had a tendency to be quiet after fights. Finishing up taking care of the more extensive injuries, Seiya brushed her thumb over the developing bruise on Yaten's cheek, unaware that she was moving closer to the shorter girl. But of course, before anything could be said, (and really, did anything need to be said?) the doorbell rang, knowing the two out of the moment, Seiya jumping up quickly.

"I should see who that is." With that, Seiya all but ran out of the room, quite content to forget that she and Yaten had nearly kissed. Even if she hadn't forgotten, the person at the door seemed to shake Seiya from her stupor.

"Odango! What brings you here?" Grinning, Seiya ushered Usagi inside the apartment, closing the door behind her.

"Oh, Ami-chan called and said that Yaten wasn't feeling well, so I decided to bring Luna over to cheer him up."

"I'm sure she will, but given Yaten's tendency to throw things, I'll take her in." Winking to Usagi, which caused the girl to blush; Seiya picked up Luna and headed to Yaten's room-this time knocking before entering.

"TenTen-chan, you have a visitor."

"And you have a death wish." was the muttered reply from Yaten's desk. As the silver haired female turned around, though, her expression softened. "Hey Luna." As for Luna? She was rather confused for, despite living with the Lights for a while, she had never noticed…sure she had mentioned taking a bath with Yaten, but that was just because Minako's reaction had been hilarious. The scent was Yaten, but the form…Just go with it, she'll explain. After Seiya left, Yaten moved over to her bed, petting Luna on the head.

"I bet you're confused, but it's still me. The Phage I was fighting was just very strong. But you can keep that secret, ne?" Lying down, as it seemed the least painful option, Yaten sighed softly to herself. "I think Seiya nearly kissed me, not like I care. It was a fluke; after all, she has Odango to worry about. She'd never notice me." Feeling bad for Yaten, for it was obvious to Luna that the silver haired light was in love with Seiya despite her words and how the two acted around each other, Luna could only meow and nuzzle the hand that was petting her. So, she's a senshi, which must mean the other two are as well. Best to keep this quiet for now…

Out in the living room, Seiya was half listening to what Usagi was saying, her mind going back to Yaten's room. What was that about? Clearly I need to sleep more…besides, she would have smacked me. At least things are returning to normal…Except things were going far from normal. Because else where in Juuban, the thwarted admirer was working on a means for the silver haired one to return to him, and to get that annoying idol out of the way by means of twisting 'his' memories around so that they were all negative.

ooooo

A.N. So yes, that's the first part, I had decided to make it a chapter fic when I realised that there were just all these good cut off points. So comment and all that jazz. I'll hopefully have the next part up next week as I have a tendancy to write while in class to multi-task.
