To Love the Enemy
By Ariadne
Prologue: Her Loyalty
Usagi walked slowly unable to keep her hands at her sides. Seiya noticed this and tried to relax her. When she first saw him she had jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. She had told him not to do that to her again. He had scared her. They all had scared her. When he held her in his arms, he felt her love for him. He asked her out to dinner later that night and now she was being reluctant about it. He knew she was with Mamoru but that guy couldn't treat her right. Seiya knew he could please her, but Usagi was being so damn nervous. Why couldn't she realize she loved him as well? He was hoping the scare that they gave all the scouts would help her realize it. Mina was so happy to see them she started crying, not that Seiya gave it much thought after Usagi was in his arms. Now Usagi didn't have anything to say which so is unlike her. He knew she was thinking about what Mamoru thinks of this whole thing. "Usa, do you feel like eating right now?" "Not really" she answered. Seiya knew something was up for sure. She is always eating. They kept walking down the street, Usagi unaware of where they were heading. As they neared, Seiya couldn't help but grab her hand and start walking faster. Usagi shocked by the sudden pull, started to fall. Seiya's strong hold on her kept her up but he slowed down and asked if she was all right. She said she was and Seiya kept her hand in his. They came to the edge of the lake and Seiya led them to a bench. It was dark and they could see all the stars in the sky. Seiya sat in silence with Usagi as they both stared at the sky. He could feel Usagi relax. After a little bit, Usagi broke the silence by whispering to him "What are you thinking, Seiya?" Not really surprised by the question, he answered knowing that she already knew what he was going to say. "I'm thinking about my home. Trying to imagine it among all these other stars" As he said that Usagi leaned against him. Both still looking up Usagi said quietly "You understand how I feel, trying to see a part of you up there." Seiya put his arm around her. He faced her and she was still looking up at the sky. Feeling his stare, Usagi turned to him. He kissed her, unable to resist any longer. He had wanted her so bad and here she was finally opening up to him. He could feel her kiss him back for a second before she pulled away from him. "Seiya, you know that I am with Mamoru." "I know that." Seiya answered. "Then why did you kiss me?" "You know why." Neither of them spoke for a moment "Do you love him?" "Yes, I do." Usagi answered, surprising Seiya by saying it calmly. "Does he love you?" "What?!" Usagi asked shocked and insulted at the same time. Now giving Seiya the reaction he expected with the first question. "Does Mamoru love you as much as you love him?" "Mamoru loves me...he has told me so many times" Usagi said flustered by the uncertainty he made her feel regarding Mamoru. "He could never love you as much as I do" "Seiya..." "Usa I -" "Seiya I can't" Usagi whispered before leaving him. Seiya watched her go unable to call after because he knew she didn't want him to. He sat there for a while giving her time to relax, if she could, before he headed back to the temple where everyone was. A gathering of everyone before him, Taiki, and Yaten left. Seiya would stay for Usagi if she would have him, but it seems as though to Seiya, that all three of them will be leaving. Seiya slowly started back hoping the rejection and hurt didn't show on his face. He reached the temple and went in seeing that everyone was still there, he spotted Usagi talking with Mako. Mamoru wasn't with her but on the couch talking with Ami about something school related probably because they were looking through a book and arguing. He started heading toward Usagi but when she turned in his direction, she shot him a look that plainly said not to go near her. He sat on a chair instead half listening to everyone talk. He saw Mina looking at him with concern and a moment later she was sitting next to him and asking him what was wrong. He said nothing but she insisted on him telling her what was wrong and offered to go someplace in private. He agreed not wanting to see Usagi kissing Mamoru who joined her on the couch. Mina led them to a back room and sat on the floor against the wall motioning for him to join her. He sat and noticed how concerned she actually was about him. Her eyes were soft and her blonde hair falling over her shoulders. She looked beautiful and for a moment Seiya forgot all about Usagi. Mina cared for him and he felt it. When he sat next to her she brushed a strand of hair away from his face and when he felt Mina's fingertips on his skin, he kissed her. She responded quickly and he knew that she had wanted him. Their kiss got deeper and soon Mina's shirt went on the floor, followed by Seiya's. He wanted her so much now. The way she touched him. The way she made him feel. It never occurred to him whether she has ever been touched like this before. Her hands brushed softly over his chest. He took her hands in his and brought them lower. She brought her lips to his again, taking them into a deeper, longer kiss. He pulled away from her to remove his pants and looked up at Mina, who looked so gorgeous with her swollen lips, and her flushed skin. Gently he slid down her skirt, along with her panties and there she was in his arms totally bare. The sight of her was making him lose control. He knew now why she was the princess of Venus. Actually the Queen of Venus. He embraced her again, nibbling her neck feeling deep inside her. She moaned against him, and he removed the rest of his clothing and slowly slid into her. The cry Mina let out as he did confirmed that she was a virgin. He froze for a second startled and unsure of what to do. He didn't want to hurt her. After a minute she nodded to him and he moved inside her again. She stifled a small cry but as he continued he felt her move with him. Being inside her, Seiya felt that this was how it was supposed to be. Afterwards having her lie in his arms, giving him a soft kiss before she laid her head down, was the most incredible feeling, he wasn't even thinking what would happen in a few hours. He was living the moment, enjoying it as much as possible. After laying there for a while, he gently ran his hand over Mina's cheek. She turned to him and smiled, still sleepy.
"We should get dressed" he said to her softly. "I don't want to move" she said kissing him. "Come on" Seiya said standing and holding out his hand to her. She took it and stood up. They got dressed and Seiya took Mina's hand and they headed back to the main room. He saw Yaten crashed out on the floor, which was all right, since they were staying the night. Makoto was on the couch. Other then that everyone else was gone. Rei must have gone to her room Seiya guessed. He heard a whisper and turned and saw Ami and Taiki in front of the dying fire. They were sharing a blanket and talking quietly. "See, we didn't have to get up?" Mina whispered in his ear. Seiya started heading back to the room they were just in, Mina eagerly beside him. "I should get some sleep, since we are leaving tomorrow." "Leaving tomorrow" Mina said, slowing down. "Mina, you knew that we were leaving." "Nothing will change your mind?" she asked, her voice unsteady. He looked at her, her eyes wide and watery. "I might stay. Let's go to sleep and talk about it in the morning.
The next morning Seiya was woke by voices coming from the other room. He sat up, slowly moving Mina's arm off him, and got up. He headed toward the voices and saw that the people that left last night were now back. Usagi looked up when she saw him and he felt a small smile on his lips. Suddenly he felt an arm around him and a hurt look on Usagi's face. Guilt suddenly washed over Seiya. "Morning sweetie" Mina said kissing his cheek. "Morning" he said distantly, still looking at Usagi. He felt Mina pull back, and suddenly Seiya had something else to feel guilty of. He turned to Mina. "You're not staying, are you?" she asked her voice unsteady again as it was last night. He glanced at Usagi again who was no longer looking at him.
"No I'm not" looking down as he said it. He knew that now he would never have Usagi, though she didn't know he slept with Mina she knew something had happened. He should never have slept with Mina. The look on Mina's face as he said it, told him how hurt she was. Mina left quickly when the first tear rolled down her cheek. He couldn't take seeing Mina like this and followed her. "You bastard" Mina said harshly, turning around. "I love you" she said barely above a whisper because she was now crying. "Mina, last night-" Seiya started to say. "Last night was a mistake, right?" she said cutting him off. This caught Seiya off guard. He paused for a moment wondering how Mina could know that he was thinking this. "Last night was incredible. There was no where else I wanted to be last night" Seiya said honestly. "That is the truth. I just can't stay here." "I'm sorry. It's not because I don't want to have something with you" "Damn you, Seiya. Sometimes you are just too transparent." With that Mina walked away from him, this being the last time they spoke. Seiya walked towards the kitchen slowly, not being able to comprehend how he managed to do this to Mina. He entered the kitchen and saw Usagi at the sink washing her plate. Seiya walked over to her, and as he approached Usagi turned to him and said "Don't Seiya." "Usagi I was just going to tell you that I am leaving. You obviously feel that Mamoru is the one for you and I can't force you to change your mind. I'm sorry" Seiya walked away and made the final arrangements with Taiki and Yaten to leave in a few hours.
Before leaving, Seiya spent the time wandering outside, thinking about what he really wanted and what would be best. He still wanted Usagi and from the last remark Mina made to him she also knew. If Usagi wanted him to go he would, and he told her this right before he left. They were all saying their good-byes. When he had only to say good-bye to Usagi, they shared a brief awkward moment before Seiya said "you want me to leave so I will." He hugged her and as he held her he whispered "but I will come back for you. Maybe you'll change your mind." Usagi didn't say anything but kissed his cheek and walked away. Seiya started walking with Taiki and Yaten, and wondered who it was he was really going to come back for.
