When Fate Met Seiya
Drifter Chicks note: oh everyone I am so sorry! I know it has been such a long time and most of you loyal readers probably aren't there anymore, but still here is the next chapter in WFMS I'll explain what happened that made me leave for so long.
Chapter 12 "Usagi's Heart"
After running away from the crazed fanatics, the two friends had gotten caught in a thunderstorm; they knew the consequences of thunder knowing first hand from Makoto and her Lighting powers so they hid quickly.
"Ah!" Usagi yelped in fright as a crack of lightning struck her hearing.
"Its okay, we'll be fine" Seiya pulled Usagi closer to him as they walked down the street, the weather was getting worse, and lightning was violently streaking the cloudy skies, it was so threatening that the recently reunited friends decided to not use Usagi's umbrella, it would be too much of a risk with the lightning.
"Lets go in there" Usagi said to Seiya as she hid under his coat, Seiya lowered himself to Usagi's height.
"Huh?" He asked her his expression puzzled; Usagi couldn't help but laugh at his clueless expression.
"I was trying to tell you that we should go into that shop," Usagi answered, Seiya nodded and then asked.
"Which shop?" He asked her
"The crown par lour" Usagi told him as they began walking toward the crown "You remember that place right?"
"Yeah" Seiya replied "I didn't frequent it as much as you and the others did though" Seiya joked, Usagi wanted to give him a nudge on the shoulder but was to preoccupied with the coat that was covering them, she instantly forgot about the joke Seiya had just made.
"I feel sorry about your coat Seiya" Usagi said to him as they entered the crown par lour, They both removed themselves from under the coat, which was now soaking wet, Seiya gave her a simple grin.
"It's fine, really" Seiya assured her, Usagi still looked concerned.
"Are you sure?" Usagi asked "Dry cleaning is expensive for outerwear like yours" she added, Seiya's jacket was a cotton hoodie with pleather covering, it looked like it would be hard to wash in an ordinary washer and dryer.
Seiya waved it off as they sat down at a nearby booth, the coat was dripping wet so a waitress at the counter took it from them and offered to hold it in the backroom until they left.
"That jacket isn't as hard to clean as you would think" Seiya informed Usagi.
"Oh" Usagi simply said as he reached for the menu that was on the table between them "since were here" Usagi began.
"We might as well eat? Right" Seiya finished her sentence with a sly s smile on his face, Usagi scrunched up her nose.
"Gee…I haven't been here in so long" Usagi sighed, Seiya looked at her curiously.
"How long has it been Odango?" He asked.
"Three months" Usagi skimmed through the menu "Furuhata-San and his sister no longer work here, but they are friends with Mamoru, and will be at the wedding" Usagi quickly put a hand to her lips "Oh I…"
"When is your Wedding?" Seiya asked without showing a hint of being bothered, even though his insides were churning at the thought of Mamoru marrying his long time secret love.
"In eight days" Usagi quietly answered, Seiya just looked up at her and flashed her his boyish smile.
"That sounds great, you must be very exited" Seiya said to Usagi 'I know I'm not' Seiya thought sadly, Usagi returned his smile.
"Yeah I am, I can't wait" Usagi added 'What would you say if I wasn't my dear Seiya' Usagi mentally added, the truth was that she was really having second thoughts about marrying Mamoru.
With the way he was acting lately the thought of a future with him frightened her, she still loved him though it was hard to hate him completely not with the history they had, a century of romance was hard to ignore.
"So what are you going to order Odango?" Seiya asked her changing the subject, as much as he tried to hide it the thought of her marrying HIM made him feel like he was being stabbed over and over again.
"Hmm I think I want to order the banana split," Usagi said innocently.
"How bout we share it?" Seiya suggested, Usagi thought about it for a minute and then nodded.
"That would be great"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
He had been doing this for about a minute or so, it was starting to irritate him, why wasn't she answering? She never went out at this hour, she must have been in the shower or something, or maybe she was taking a nap?
"Relax" that was the word that Mamoru chiba was repeating through his head, he knew he had to calm down if he wanted Usagi to hear what he had to say, with him losing his temper lately he knew that he would go off the minute Usagi tried to explain herself and by explaining herself he was talking about being stood up at Shinjuku.
Mamoru was still peeved at Usagi's absence, why would she make him wait at Shinjuku all the time? She liked carnivals didn't she? Of course she did Mamoru knew that Usagi adored everything childish from playgrounds to circuses. Mamoru had to snicker at that, even now in her early twenties Usagi still had the mind of a child.
"Excuse me young man" a kind elderly woman slowly walked up to him "If you are looking for Ms. Tsukino she left an hour ago" The women said sweetly.
"Where exactly did she go too?" He asked the old women while trying to suppress his anger, since when did Usagi go out with out talking to him first? She never even left for work without calling him first!
"Oh, I believe she went out with a friend" The elderly women said sweetly "Or to meet an old friend, I really can not remember with my age" She laughed it off Mamoru was not amused.
"Do you know where she was going to meet this friend?" Mamoru's eyes were beginning to twitch, the women did not notice and answered.
"I think she told me that she was going to meet him in a park close by, She said that she was going to spend the day with him" Old women added, at this Mamoru's eyes burned with fury, steam literally spewed from his ears.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it" and he was off, he was beyond mad, why was Usagi cheating on him? Her PRINCE! Still Mamoru tried his best to calm down, he had to remind himself that it was probably a misunderstanding but in the end he came to the conclusion that she had strayed.
If only he did not jump to conclusions.
Back at the Parlour, Usagi and Seiya had finally been served their Banana split, Usagi had smiled in pure delight the minute it was plopped on the table, it had made Seiya chuckle. Seiya was having a good time despite being chased by old fans and getting trapped in the rain, sitting at this table with Usagi filled his heart with joy.
"Seiya" Usagi caught Seiya's eye, her innocent bright blue eyes sent a warm chill throughout his body.
"Hai?" He smiled tenderly, Usagi's face turned slight pink, she could feel her face begin to burn lightly, her nerves were getting the best of her this time and wished she wasn't so prone to blushing, Usagi then cleared her throat softly.
"How come you are not eating?" She said quickly, Seiya blinked and then looked at the melting Banana split, he sweat dropped.
"Oh-uh...I was just thinking" Seiya responded, he almost slapped himself for not sounding suave like he had intended, lucky for him Usagi did not notice, and looked at him curiously.
"What about?" Usagi asked, her bangs brush lightly against her forehead as she shifted in her seat, Seiya almost blushed himself, and man oh man was she still cute.
"Oh nothing" Seiya said warmly "Hey lets dig in the ice cream is turning into soup!" he quickly added Usagi giggled and than joined him in eating the Ice cream, it was gone in less then three minutes.

"What bad luck!" Minako Aino whined as she left the department store that she worked at, luckily they had a spare umbrella and rain coat for her to wear and use, she was leaving early today because of how slow business was and plus she wanted to go spend time with her sweet baby girl Ann-Marie, her pride and joy.
She had also planned on hanging out with Yaten, Minako was delighted the first night he was back, he had gotten along so well with her darling daughter, something most men she dated or liked lacked, when it came to dating and her daughter; Ann- Marie definitely came first in her world.
And nothing could change that, so it was a huge relief to Minako that he enjoyed spending time with Ann-Chan, still Minako felt a little self-conscious it had been a long time, things have changed, she had changed.
And she wasn't just talking about her hair either, having Ann-Marie had changed her in so many ways.
Would Yaten-Kun accept her now? he wasn't very understanding back in the day but Minako knew he had matured, maybe his grouchy act had passed because of it, Minako had to laugh at that, Yaten stop being grouchy?
Boy that'd be the day!
Minako than paused as she neared the crown parlor, she was directly across the street when to familiar people came out of it, she gasped when she realized who they were, Seiya and Usagi! Minako had to stop herself from squealing, she just could not let that part of her rest.
"Are they on a date?" Minako said to herself, she then hid under her raincoat, Minako knew of Makoto and Setsuna's plans to get Seiya and Usagi together and needless to say she agreed with them, she loved the idea of the two getting together.
But Minako's hopes suddenly drowned in the rain as she saw someone walking down the street a few yards away from Usagi and Seiya...Mamoru.
Minako gulped, she knew what Mamoru would do if he saw Seiya with his fiancé, and without another moments thought Minako ran across the street with the umbrella gripped tightly in her left hand.
She had to protect her friend.
