Rain washed thru them.It was sweet eliberation of senses, it washed away every hint of doubt, pain, sadness, the tears of a one side love. The rain was witness of a new beginning. They broke away, socking wet their eyes met once more, no need for words. Seiya's eyes couldn't believe how beautiful Usagi was even like this. Usagi was smiling with a slight satisfied smile on her lips. She was hugging the Starlight tight, not wanting to let her go now that she is here near her, like this.She was her's, she felt selfish, but all she wanted to keep Seiya there just for her.
"Hey..."
"Hey..."Seiya and Usagi were nuzzling their noses playfully. Seiya's lips kissed Usagi's small nose smiling.
"So..."
"Yes?" Usagi smiled.
"Do you believe me now, Odango?"she looked at her with that midnight blue eyes of hers. Her black lashes were even longer as raindrops fell from them.
"I do!"
"We should get back it's getting dark, beside I don't want you to catch a cold!"
"You are right! Catch me if you can!"Usagi started running away from her.
"What?"
"Race to carriege! last one in is a rotten egg!" Usagi stuck out her tongue like a child and started running away from Seiya.
"You're in trouble if I catch up with you!"
"We will see about that.Hahaha!" Usagi tried really hard to get away from her, but we all know that the Starlight is truely athletic.She was a football star also back on Earth.
"Look behind you." Usagi stopped suddenly and accidentally Seiya slipped as she tried to stop. "Watch out!"
"Uffff!" She fell in top of her.
"Are you alright Orango? I slipped, the ground was muddy and slippery from the rain.
"Yeah!Hahaha!"Usagi giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"Well ...Hahaha! Your face is dirty."
"Huh?Thanks!"
"Sorry! apologized the blond. Heyyyy!"
"Now we look the same!" Seiya grabbed a piece of mud and got her face dirty. " You are so cute."
"I can imagine..."Usagi looked away ashamed. They were still on the ground, on top of each other.
"Odango..." Seiya touched Usagi's face face, looking for her gaze.Her hands rushed up Usagi's wet bare legs. Her skin was soft and silky .Her dress that changes from yellow to orange from the rain was clunging to the body of the Moon Princess. Seiya's pink shirt became transparent and it showed thru.
"Seiya .."Usagi felt her heart beating faster and faster. It was like a race car that was at the beginning of a race. "Wroomm! Wroomm!" It was ready to take of at any minute now.They were kissing again right there exchanging small, passionate kisses. They were like those kisses that are forbidden, then suddenly someone comes and steals them away.
"We should go before...I loose my mind...and do something..."
"Like what?"Usagi wanted to hear an answer.
"Like kidnapp you and take you away to be always together."
"Your crazy!" Usagi couldn't believe the things she said.
"Yes ! About you!Now let's go!"
"Aaaaa."A sharp pain went thru the blond's left foot. She just couldn't step on it.
"What's wrong?"
"My foot hurts.I can't stand up."Usagi admited.
"This is my fault! Don't worry I will carry you!"she grabbed the Moon Princess in her arm. Her hand sustaining her back and the other her legs.
"No ! I'm heavy put me down, Seiya!"
"Shhh..."
"Okay!Boy you sure are stubborn."
"You know me well! Open up!"The Starlight ordered firmly to the driver.He opened up the door. Seiya gently put Usagi down on the red cushion. "I'm so sorry! I will call for doctor to look at it as soon as we arrive to the palace."
"No need!"Usagi tried ro calm the Starlight down.
"Yes it is!"
"Seiya!"she was amazed by the way she treated her.
"Yes?"
Usagi said nothing just leaned in and kissed her Starlight."I think...I love you!No! I know I love you! What am I gonna do now?I still have to tell you why I came!I still have to face everything. But I still have time, a few days. I want everything to be perfect." The Starlight grabbed her face and they were making out all the way.
Suddenly the carrige stopped.
"Here we are!"
"Yes!"
"Come on. I will take you to your room."
The other senshies were already at the palace. They were hopping that they will find them safe and sound , but they were still out. The weather was getting heavier.
"Where could they be?"the others were wondering. Rei was walking up down.
"Ohh Rei-chan would you sit down already..I feel dizzy just watching you walking up and down like this."said Minako.
"What if they had an accident?"Ami was already with the darkest thoughts.
"You know what I think?"said the bored lime green eyed silver haired senshie.
"What Yaten? You and your theories."Taiki rolled her eyes.
"We are all crying, while I'm sure they are fine and making out somewhere."
she said calmly examining her nails.
"Your joking."said Taiki.
"Actually I'm not. Did we all saw the same scene unfold in front of us?"said Yaten."They were excuse my expression fucking arguing like a couple. Usagi's head looked like it was going to explode like a balloon from jealousy."
"Usagi- chan is getting married."said Makoto. But she was aware of some feelings between them. Actually everyone was, not only now, but back in Earth too.
"So? Why? Because she is destined to be with that guy? Come on.What about free will?What about when..." her speech was interrupted by Seiya almost knocking the palace entrance down.
They went inside.The others rushed out, they were out of words when they saw them wet, dirty and Usagi in Seiya's arms.
"What happened to you two?"
"We were having a talk..And well I slipped and knocked Odango over. She told me her foot hurts. Yaten go and call a doctor right away."
"Okay!"
"Where were you guys?" Rei saw something in Usagi's eyes that a she see didn't a long time ago. Sparks.The two girls smiled at each other and Seiya confessed.
"We had some things to clear up!"
"Yeah ..We did!"
"Now if you excuse me. I have to take Odango to her room. She is kind of heavy. To much Kinmokian goodies."
"Hey you!If I wasn't in your arms I would..."
Seiya started walking down the hallway.
Slammed the door open. Usagi was speechless.The view before her was stunning.The Starlight's word echoed in her head "The roses and the candy were not for her. They are for someone else."
"This wasn't the way I planned."
"Wooowwww! "
"Do you like it?'
"I love them! The roses..were for me?"Usagi was truly impressed.
"Well yeah I wanted it to be a surprise."
"This is!"she started crying.Seiya put her down on the bed.
"Hey. Odango.. don't cry! I want you to be happy. This was supposed to be a surprise, a good one."
"Seiya, this is wonderful. It's more than I deserve."
"No..you deserve the world."
"I have something now that I wanted without knowing it, until now."
"What's that?"
"It's not a something, it's someone."
"Ohhhh..."
"It's you!"
"Odan..."a knock again.
"Uhmmm!Uhmmm! excuse me the doctor is here to see Tsukino-san!"Taiki dared to bother them.
"Ohhh sure! I will go and take a shower and I will be back soon."
"Okay! Don't take to long!"asked Usagi.
"I won't."
"Promise?"
"I Promise!"Seiya gave her a wink and her soul calmed down.The Starlight left the room together with Taiki.
"Seiya!"
"Yes, Taiki."
"What happened?"
"Nothing!'
'"You know this is dangerous game you are playing."she was serious.
"What game? There's no game."Seiya assured.
"She is a Princess, not some..."Taiki tried to make a point.
"l know, but you know how I feel about her."
"I do! We are aware."
"Yes, but she is here now...I want to be with her."
"Whatever you decide we are right behind you!"Taiki assured her. "We just don't want you to get hurt."
"I know. I have to go and take a shower now."
"Sure!"Taiki watched her friend walk away. She felt the happiness on her. There has to be a pretty good reason.Her mood was obviously changed radically.
The doctor assured Usagi that her leg will be just fine, she just needed to takeniy easy. Seiya sent maid to her room , so they would help her in anything she needed. They changed the sheets, that got dirty helped her to change, took her dinner. Usagi was in bed.
"Odango!"
"Seiya!"The Starlight was already dressed up in her short pant pj's that had a tshirt with thumbs up symbol on it."Nice pj's!'
"Thanks.How is your leg?"
"The doctor said it will be alright, nothing serious."
"I'm glad!" the Starlight set down next to her. Her fingers slowly glided to Usagi's until they were interlaced.It was a perfect fit. Both of their hands were acting on their own. "I should let you sleep."She got up, but Usagi pulled her back not letting go of her hand.
"Won't you stay with me tonight?"Usagi looked her seriously in those captivating blue eyes.Seiya was still processing the question.What was the right answer?
"I don't know. Are you sure?"
"Here is my answer!" Usagi pushed herself up and kissed her. The door was half open. Rei just wanted to ask Usagi what really happened. She slowly approached the door of the bedroom where Usagi was supposed to be resting. Rei's eyes widened as she saw them kissing. No words came out her mouth. The urge to unmask the two of them was surpressed by the surprise, of seeing that her intuition didn't fail her. "Baka! This not good!What will happen now?"
