Chapter 12 The Other Side of Me.

Seiya was smiling at Minako and Minako enjoyed the fact that he was smiling at her. She laughed at a silly joke he had said then Seiya decided to make a quick move and he kissed Minako on the cheek, which turned her cheeks red.

"See you tonight," said Seiya with his signature smile.

"Yeah," said Minako as she walked away to her class hoping she would not klutz out like Serena would.

Seiya smiled as she walked away and when he turned around he was confronted by a very thick off Yaten. He'd never seen him that angry and Taiki was trying to hold him back.

"What do you think you are doing?" asked Yaten in a harsh tone.

"Yaten it's not…"

"What are you going to say? It's not what it looks like. You asked out Minako."

"I did."

"Why?"

"She's sweet on the eyes."

"Sweet." Yaten laughed then he grabbed Seiya by the collar and pushed him against the lockers. This got the attention of a lot of people around them. "I don't want to see you with her." Seiya gulped as Yaten pulled away. He then walked away without a word. Seiya turned to Taiki as he fixed his collar.

"Why would you do a thing like that Seiya?" asked Taiki.

"I can't keep on pining for Serena forever when I know she doesn't love me. With Minako it's different."

"Minako is in love with you?" Seiya nodded. "Seiya but you don't love her."

"Maybe I can learn to." Seiya then walked away.

"Seiya! How did you find out Minako's in love with you?" Seiya turned around.

"I have my sources."

Later that day at lunch, the girls were having lunch at their usual table outside. They all were gabbing about school work, boys and fashion. Minako, Serena and Lita were a little quieter than the others. They had more to say but could not share it with their friends.

Seiya made his way over to the girls table. The girls saw him as he headed right to their table and approached Minako. Serena was shocked at seeing Seiya be all lovey dovey with Minako.

"Um, excuse me," said Serena interrupting Seiya from being able to kiss Minako on the cheek. "Could I borrow Seiya for just one moment?"

"Sure," replied Minako. Serena smiled at Minako and grabbed Seiya by the shirt pulling him away from the table.

"What do you think you're doing?" asked Serena. "Are you crazy."

"Serena…"

"No, this is…you can't date Minako out of pity."

"I'm not!"

"Just because I told you about her secret crush doesn't allow you to play with her feelings. I'll be the first to protect Minako from anything…"

"I'm not going to hurt her. I like Minako. Not as much as a particular girl that will not be named but I do care for her."

"You better or I'll tell Haruka to kick your butt." Serena folded her arms over her chest.

"Who?"

"Never mind." Serena folded her arms over her chest and started to head back.

"Hey, so how was your date with...?"

"...Darien. None of your business. What are you my big brother?"

"I should of at least met the guy." Serena turned around as Seiya walked up to her. "I mean is he right for you and Serenity." Seiya walked passed by her and felt bad for saying that to her make her doubt that he could squeal on her at any moment. Serena bowed her head and took a deep sigh. She saw Yaten and Taiki from afar then she decided to walk back to the table. Back at the table the girls were gabbing about Seiya.

"Minako I didn't know you and Seiya were going together," said Raye full with envy.

"He asked me last night," replied Minako with the biggest smile.

"Really. Oh, I wish I had a guy like Seiya."

"Raye don't tell me you have a crush on him too."

"No, he's not my type. I like blondes with green eyes if you catch my drift." Raye's eyes widen when she caught the eye of the green eyes she was talking about.

Seiya came walking back to the table with Serena trailing slowly behind him. Behind Serena was a very angry Yaten pushing his way through the crowd toward the table. He pushed Serena aside lightly and approached Seiya as he was about to sit next to Minako. Yaten grabbed Seiya and pushed him against the table. Everyone scattered and Raye's eyes widen at the angered Yaten.

"I told you to stay away from her," said Yaten about to punch Seiya, but he stopped inches away from him. He couldn't do it because Minako placed herself between them.

"Don't hurt him!" yelled Minako. "I love him!"

Gasps came from all around and the biggest gasp came from Yaten who couldn't speak. He felt like he was choking.

"Why are you so angry at Seiya? He didn't do anything to you."

"Minako…" Seiya tried to interject.

"No, Seiya. He needs to hear this." Minako looked at Yaten straight in the eyes. "You're a big jerk and you should be ashamed at yourself for what you tried to do today."

Yaten bowed his head. He felt like a child and Minako's words 'I love him' about Seiya hurt him even more. Yaten glared at Seiya.

"Please move," Yaten mumbled.

"NO!" Minako stood in front of Seiya protecting him from Yaten.

"Come on Yaten lets go," said Taiki as he pulled Yaten away from the scene. Taiki looked over at the girls and noticed Raye only watching Yaten's every move. He took a deep sigh and walked away pulling Yaten with him.

"Minako you didn't have to do that," said Seiya.

"I know, but I wanted to. I hope I didn't ruin your macho pride."

"Yeah, you probably did." Seiya leaned in and kissed Minako on the cheek. "Thanks for standing up for me. Are we still on for tonight."

"You bet. See you later." Minako rushed back to the school as the bell rang. Seiya sighed and he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"All this is trouble," said Serena.

"Yaten's gotta deal." Seiya started walking away.

"Deal? Does Yaten have a crush on Minako?" Seiya stopped in his tracks.

"Sometimes I find it strange that your smart."

"I'm not just a pretty face. It was pretty obvious. Anyone who had eyes could of noticed."

"I guess."

"You knew and you still pursued her. Why? Yaten's one of your best friends."

"Because I couldn't pursue mine." Seiya walked away leaving Serena to think what he meant by that.

Later that day at Serena's and Minako's house, Serena watched Minako get ready for her date with Seiya. Serena wanted to tell her that she shouldn't go because…but she couldn't find the words to finish her reason.

"So, how do I look?" asked Minako.

"Great," replied Serena with a fake smile.

"You don't look too happy. Is there something wrong."

"No, it's nothing. Good luck on your date. I better go. Got a concert tonight."

"Serena."

"Yeah?"

"If something was wrong you'd tell me right?"

"Of course." The door bell rang and they both looked toward the door.

"That's Seiya. I'd better go." Minako passed by Serena and she watched her go down the stairs. Serena saw her open the door and greet Seiya with smiling face as usual. The two then exited the house and as the door closed Serena took a deep sigh. When she turned to walk into her room she crashed into Haruka. "Sorry." Haruka smiled. "Those two are a bad thing."

"Why would you say that?" asked Haruka.

"I sort of told Seiya that Minako was in love with him."

"He's dating her out of pity. I should of slit more than his car tires."

"You slit his tires."

"Yeah, they won't be going any where."

"You're bad Haruka." Serena continued to walk to her room then turned around and gave her a thumbs up. Haruka then winked at her.

Seiya and Minako were walking down the streets hand in hand. The stars were out and the moon shone beautifully in the night sky.

"I can't believe all my tires were flat," said Seiya. "I don't how that could of happen."

"It's okay," said Minako. "I like us walking. We can talk."

"What do want to talk about?"

"Why was Yaten mad at you?" Seiya gulped and looked away for a second.

"You know I have no idea."

"Why didn't you do anything?"

"I don't believe in violence especially if it's with a friend. I'm sure whatever it was that he'll get over it."

"I sure hope so. The Yaten I know had always been kind. This is a very different side of him. I'm not trilled at all to see it." Seiya opened the door for Minako to a café. Inside there were a few couples sharing milk shakes. The two sat down in a booth and a waiter came to hand them some menus.

"Hey, where's Andrew?" asked a regular customer walking over to the counter.

"Has the night off," replied the main server.

"Andrew?" said Minako to herself. "Milk shakes. This is were Serena and Darien had part of their date."

"Did Serena tell you about this place."

"No, but she said they make the best milk shakes."

Meanwhile Serenity was on stage doing a performance of her new single, 'We Got the Party'. The crowd was cheering and Serenity was sweating more than usual. The lights to her seem brighter then they started to get blurry.

"Life is for dreamers and I'm a believer
That nothing can stand in our way today to start the place to play
Turn this park into a club
the stars and lights and the moon is a vibe from above
These skateboard's here's our ride
So pull on up everyone is waiting for us
Anywhere we are
Anywhere we go
Everybody knows
We got the party with us
Anywhere we are
Anywhere we go
Everybody knows
We got the party with us"

Suddenly Serenity started to feel off balance and she stopped singing. The crowd stopped cheering and had worried looks on their faces especially a certain dark haired blue eyed guy who got through the crowd to the front of the stage and saw her fall unto the stage. Everyone gasped.

"Serenity!" called out Darien from the crowd. He climbed the barrier and got onto the stage. Andrew tried to follow but the security guards pushed him back. Darien was the first to arrive at Serenity's side. Luna, Artemis, and Haruka came running onto the stage signaling the other security guards to not pull Darien away from Serenity. Darien checked for a pulse and was glad hear one. She was very warm and Darien single it out as possible exhaustion. He quickly picked her up and carried her off stage.

AN: The songs I will be using are all Hannah Montana song. Just for those who don't know. They are not mine songs. This one is called We Got the Party. This is an extra long since it took extra long to write it. ENJOY!
