Hello! This is a very short update. I'll write a longer chapter soon, it's just that I can't seem to place this in any of the other two chapters.

On another note, to the other writers out there...am I the only getting errors on my alerts and story stats/traffic? Let me know :) Anyway.

Do I need to say that I do not own...?

Nah.

Soushite, Chapter 10.a

Chapter 10.a: One Light's Revival

Seiya scratched his head, his other hand holding a bag full of stuffed toys that he and Haruka had won at the theme park a few days ago. Pressing the doorbell button one more time, he sets down the paper bag and waits for an answer from inside the apartment.

Nothing.

It has been days since Haruka left and he was starting to get worried. Sure, he was kind of getting used to her disappearing for long periods of time…but to actually see her go. That gave it kind of a different feeling. Scarier, even.

"Oh what the hell," Seiya muttered. He sighed openly and heading down the stairwell, so many thoughts running in his head. What if the battle she went into was something as large scale as the one they had with Galaxia? What if she gets badly wounded in battle? What if…she died? There is no way that she'd get another chance because her present time is quite in a period of peace. Another, what if she falls in love there and decides to stay?

Now that would be difficult for him to explain to Usagi and her friends.

Why was he worried anyway? Haruka's just a friend. To him, she is a very close friend at the time that is. They've been in the same town for quite some time now, focusing on smaller things like the frequent piano lessons that Haruka holds with the children around the town, or him helping around in a small bookstore/boutique with a café. She was starting to be like the only family he has on earth, now that Taiki and Yaten are back in Kinmoku.

"Ah…Seiya Kou?" the man who was going up the stairs, said, stopping in his tracks, shaking Seiya from his thoughts

"Manager! What are you doing here?" Seiya exclaimed, eyes wide open as the former three lights manager shook Seiya's hand in glee.

"Just visiting my sister and her family. So how are you? How is Taiki and Yaten?"

Seiya took a brief sideway glance, putting his hands behind the back of his neck. "They're…abroad!"

Well, that was half-true. Just that they are some light years away, abroad, meaning in another planet.

"How's your voice? Say what…how about forming the three lights once again?" Seiya's manager asked, winking at and nudging the raven-haired starlight.

"I don't think they're interested, manager," Seiya said shaking his head. It was true. Taiki was getting married and pursuing a career in writing and Yaten has her hands full with photography and design.

"Then what about launching a solo album?" his former manager said, without skipping a heartbeat.

Seiya placed a hand under his chin, thinking. He still loved singing after all. Perhaps, this is his chance to move on, to recover. One chapter had closed in his life—and perhaps, this is the beginning of a new one.

"Come on, Seiya. Think about it. You're still young, still very good-looking…in a more mature way…I'm sure your voice has remained stellar."

"I plan to move back to Tokyo on the 31st," the raven-haired starlight finally said, with a full smile on his face. Writing songs and singing them…well that's a good outlet.

"Perfect! This will be just like the old times! Where will you be staying? We can get you a nice place in that district—"

"You don't have to"—

"No I insist!" the manager said, placing both his hands on the raven-haired man's shoulders.

"I'm moving with a friend!" Seiya blurted out, regretting that he had said that. The manager pulled back, crossing his arms across his broad chest.

"Oh! A…girlfriend?" the other man said slowly, another idea seeming to grow into his head.

"No! We won't even be in the same house," Seiya said. But I want to be neighbors with her, he added mentally.

"So…this friend of yours, where did you meet her?"

"I change my mind." Seiya shook his head disgusted, making his way down the stairs. He didn't want this part of the show business. He's done with all the overexposure crap.

"Seiya, wait!" his manager called out. Seiya stopped in his tracks and looked back at the older man.

"Here's the deal…no more random and very wrong tips to the press. No spreading of rumors about me for the sake of publicity. There's absolutely no way that I'm going to hold a press conference to discuss my private life. That clear?"

"Hai," the manager said, straightening his back. Seiya Kou surely has changed, taking charge of this situation unlike he and his brothers had before. But this older man thinks it's worth a shot. With those striking looks and that countenance…it must be an investment. The raven-haired former idol shook the manager's hand with a sided smile on his face.

"I will be meeting you on the 10th, that okay with you?" the manager said, giving the younger man a calling card.

"Sure," Seiya winked at his now manager, resuming his steps down the stairwell.

So this is like his second chance. His thoughts now focus on the ash-blonde senshi, who still hadn't returned. He was also hoping she too, will have that second chance.

"Haruka…where are you?" he said to the wind.

Sorry that this is a short chapter ^^ Will update soon.

Author's Notes:

Author's Note: Title was written as "One Light's Revival" Someone's revival as a pun to Three Lights (minus two). Don't worry, Taiki and Yaten will be in some of the future chapters, but not as people/aliens pursuing a career in music. I just see Seiya to be better as a soloist, and to be more passionate about music than the other two. That's just me of course ;)
