A few weeks later....
Seiya looked up at Usagi's balcony window longingly. There was a faint light glowing in the window, so he knew that she was in there. He was about to call out, but then decided against it. He had found out that Mamoru didn't want Usagi and him to see each other anymore, and Seiya didn't want to get her in trouble. Still... She was his only love, and the last few weeks had been hard on him, not being able to see her anymore... especially after that..... he secretly hoped to himself that she would come out onto her balcony and see him... just a glimpse maybe...
Usagi was inside, brushing her hair. She looked into the mirror, at her reflection. In the background she could hear the water running as Mamoru took a shower. She thought about Seiya, and how he had kissed her so sweetly and lovingly that night... but no. 'I'm a married woman' she thought to herself, 'and an affair is hardly what I want my happy marriage to start off with. What was I thinking, kissing Seiya on my wedding day.' she reasoned to herself. 'We're friends. Nothing more.'
Dropping the subject, she wandered out onto the balcony to get some fresh air before she went to sleep. She was very surprised to see Seiya standing there, in her garden. She gasped, and whispered down. "Seiya! What are you doing?! Do you want Mamoru to see you?! Get out before you get in trouble!"
Seiya smiled sweetly, secretly relieved that she had seen him, and sneaking past all that anti-assassination security had not been in vain. "Odango!" he called gently up "Come down here so I can talk to you!"
Usagi gasped. Seiya knew that she was forbidden to see him, but she had wanted to see him for a while... "Alright, Seiya." She softly called down. Being care ful to be quiet, she tiptoed to the stairs and walked out into the garden. Seiya was there, and he grinned at her sweetly. "Hello Odango! Its been so long since I've seen you!"Usagi returned the smiled and softly whispered, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
He paused. Seiya had thought about what to say before this, but all words fled form his mind when he heard her beautiful voice. Words failing him, he put his hands on her shoulders, and began "Um... Odango..." She looked up at him with those big blue eyes of hers "Yes, Seiya?" He blushed. "I... um... want to tell you something..." She stared at him. He continued.
"I thought maybe after I knew you were happy, I could leave you in peace and forget about it..." Usagi looked down. 'Back to this subject again...' she thought. Seiya closed his eyes "But now I know that I could never forsake you. I could never forget about my eternal love for you, my little Odango..." Usagi gasped. The way he talked about her... about his love for her... made her heart feel like it was torn in two. True... she loved Mamoru...But Seiya was different. In a good, maybe even better way. Usagi didn't want to think about it, though. She was with Mamoru and nothing could change that.
She looked up at Seiya. He looked down at her. They stayed like that for quite some time. Usagi looked up into his beautiful eyes. There was that word again, beautiful, which he was. She suddenly wondered what it would be like to kiss those soft lips again... She felt her eyes close subconsciously...
Suddenly she felt those lips press against hers. Her eyes opened wide and pulled away. Seiya gasped and blushed, saying "I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me... I-" but Usagi pressed her lips against his and he stopped talking. She sighed as Seiya's arms gently folded around her. She kissed him back, like she kissed Mamoru, only better. Mamoru.... the name didn't cause any guilt from her... not now.
Finally Seiya broke off the kiss. Usagi looked at him, then suddenly started blushing like crazy. "Seiya... I... I don't know what to say... I..." He looked back up at the balcony. "Did you just hear a door close?"Usagi gasped. "Mamoru!?" She raced back up the stairs. He was no longer there. "Mamoru!!" She called as she ran back down. He was not in the house. The front door was open.
Usagi could see a dark figure walking away, down the street. It was Mamoru. "Mamoru, wait!! Please come back!" He took no notice of her. She started to run after him but fell to the side walk. She called after him repetitively, "Mamoru! Mamoru!!" She sat there sobbing on the sidewalk, as it started to rain her tears mixed in with the drops. Seiya watched her sadly, and comforted with a hug. She didn't hug back this time, but continued to cry her heart out, until there was none left...
Hm.... where's this going? Sorry about the sad Usagi and Mamoru-ness right now. They will get better! Next chapter: SOMEONE will COMFORT Mamoru. But who? Three guesses: someone with long black hair, who has had her purple-black eyes on Mamoru for quite a long time, and owns a shrine.
