Yaten looked up, stunned at the sound of his name. His mouth dropped open when he realized who he was talking to. He quickly stood up.

"I am not Yaten," he stupidly said as he turned around, in hopes of making an escape. Usagi grabbed his arm and pulled him back. Is it just him? she thought. Where is Seiya and Taiki? Yaten tried to pull himself out of her grip for a moment, then gave up when he realized that it was Usagi he was dealing with. Usagi would tell her friends he was here and together, they would hunt him down to the ends of the Earth. Before he could stop her, Usagi quickly pulled off his sunglasses.

"Don't lie to me Yaten," she said. "Silver hair and bright green eyes? Who would forget that?" Yaten remained silent, trying to ignore the blonde. Silence, then...

"YATEN!" Usagi cried excitedly, after realizing that that her eyes were in fact not playing any tricks on her. She squeezed him to the point where he could barely breathe. Yaten hid a smile. He had to admit that he had missed the crazy Earth girls while he was in Kinmoku. He quickly turned his hidden smile into a sarcastic sigh. "We missed you guys so much!" she squealed.

"Yeah yeah of course you did. Will you get off of me?" he said. Usagi gave him one final squeeze before letting him go. When she stepped back was when he was really able to get a good look at her. Her hair was in its usual style, two buns on top of her head with long golden hair streaming from each. She wore a pink T shirt over a white long sleeved shirt with blue jeans. She looked pretty much the same, only a little bit older and more mature. "I have to go," he said, as he turned to leave.

"No!" Usagi cried, grabbing his arm to stop him. "You just got here! Why do you have to go? I just saw you again!" she said. Yaten adjusted his hat and said nothing. "How long have you been here?"

"Seven months," Yaten muttered. Usagis mouth dropped open in shock.

"Seven months?!" Usagi cried. "And you didn't think to call any of us? Yaten what happened? Is Seiya and Taiki here too? Hows Kakyuu?" she asked.

"Geeze! You only saw me for three minutes and you're already bombarding me with questions? What kind of shit is that?" he cried. Usagi sighed.

"At least tell me if Seiya and Taiki are here too," Yaten froze and bit his lip.

"Taiki is here," he said finally. "Seiya isn't," The look of disappointment and sadness that came across her face did not go unnoticed by him. "What do you care whether or not he's here?" Yaten spat angrily. Usagi looked at him with wide eyes.

"He's my friend and I really care about him! I miss him! Why are you so mad about that?" she asked. Bullshit, he thought. Her 'care' went beyond what she tried to make it seem. Yatens intuition never failed him.

"What about your darling Mamoru?" Yaten asked with a sneer.

"We broke up," Usagi said, confused. "He cheated on me,"

"Swell," Yaten said with as much sarcasm as he could. "So now you're going to the second best option? Seiya is not your toy,"

"What?! No!" Usagi cried, hurt clear in her face and voice. "How could you say that?"

"Seiya is in Kinmoku because he found somebody else," Yaten said. Though her face remained still, he could see the shock in her eyes. The hurt practically radiated off her body. Weather it was from him yelling at her or him telling her that Seiya found someone else remained a mystery. "What? Did you expect him to sit around waiting for the rest of his life for the chance of you possibly breaking up with Mamoru and go crying to him? He moved on!"

"You don't have to be so harsh," Usagi said. "And you know what? I'm happy for him. I adore Seiya and I'm pretty sure you know that. If he is happy with someone else, fine," Alright. Her hurt came from both. She paused for a moment, then decided to change the subject. "Anyways, why don't you and Taiki come by my apartment? We've all missed you guys. We can have a welcome back party,"

"We can't," Yaten said. "We're busy," They sat down in the grass and Yaten took his hat off. His long silver hair was still in its usual ponytail.

"With what? I didn't hear anything on the news about you guys. Whats going on?"

"Ahh...school. We're in college now," he said.

"What classes are you taking?" Usagi asked. God dammit he thought. This girl never stops pressing for information.

"I have to go," he said again, standing up. Usagi frowned.

"No Yaten don't go! At least come over for a little bit!" she offered

"Look Usagi. I came here to relax. Not to run into you. I've already taken too much time and I need to get back to Taiki," he said, a bit more harshly then intended.

"At least take down Minako's number! She would be so happy to see you!" Yaten sighed. When they first planned to come back to Earth, the starlights were excited to see their friends, and Yaten was especially looking forward to seeing the crazy girl in the red bow who could never leave him alone. Not that he was willing to admit it anytime soon. But now things had changed, and Yaten and Taiki couldn't see their friends. It wasn't that they didn't want to, because they did. They just...couldn't.

"Fine. But don't go telling all your friends that we're here. Last thing I need is a bunch of crazy Earth girls hovering over my apartment in hopes to catch a glimpse. I'll call Minako when I'm ready," Usagi stood up and held her arms out for a hug. Yaten stared at her for a moment. His bright green eyes now had a dark look to them. Like he was troubled.

"Are you okay?" she asked him. Yaten blinked, then gave her a one armed hug.

"I'm fine," he said. Usagi nodded, and she gave him Minako's number then, she watched him leave. It wasn't until he had disappeared from view when she realized that his sunglasses were still in her hand.
