Chapter Six: Raye's and Amy's Reminiscences

          Darien opened his eyes as the early sun seeped through his window. He squinted his eyes as the rays blinded him for a minute. Slowly he stood up from his bed and walked out of his room and stumbled his way to the balcony facing the crystal tower. He sighed as he folded his arms on top of the rail. 'Its been eight months.' He thought to himself as he looked at the tower.  'I still can't believe what happened. Lita I'm sorry. I know I can never undo what I did, but something is pulling me to you.' He stood up straight as the wind picked up and folded his arms over his chest. "Where are you?"

            Darien stood there for a while as he allowed the wind to play with his beautiful black hair. He stood there bare-chest, unfazed by the cold wind. 'How am I going to fix this?'

            "You can't undo the past Endymion." A wise voice spoke as a woman appeared next to the young man. The woman had long black hair that flew behind her as her midnight blue eyes looked forward. "I'm disappointed in you Endymion."

            Darien immediately turned to face the woman startled. As he recognized her he gasped in surprise. "Mother."

            The woman did not move from her place nor did she turn to look at him. "Why did you do it Endymion?" She asked softly.

            The younger man looked away from his mother too ashamed to look at her. He had asked himself that same question over and over for the past eight months and he couldn't find a reason why he did it and the fact that he was a little bit drunk didn't help him either. "Ha-ha…"

            Queen Gaea looked down at the rail as she laid her hand on it. "You have lost so much trusts Endy. You have lost so much." Tears began to gather in her eyes but she forced them not to fall. "You have disgraced me and your father Endy."   

            Darien winced as he head his mother's voice. It was a voice of a woman that was about to cry. For the first time in his life he had made his mother, the proud queen of earth cry. He hated himself for it; he could remember that he had always tried to avoid that. Slowly he raised his head up and looked at his mother. "Ha-ha Onegai…"

            The queen turned to face him slowly cutting him off from whatever he was about to say. "Your actions stripped Princess Makoto of her most pride possession and had made her into a young mother Endymion. What are you going to do now? You are now a father."

            Darien looked at his mother shocked and horrified at what she had said. "I…she's pregnant?" He asked her with a wavering voice. "What have…what have I done?"

            "I'm glad you have realized the damaged you have caused Endy but what are you going to say to her when she returns? What are you going to say to everyone? And to your half brother?"

            Before he could ask what she meant by her last question, with a sad smile she kissed his forehead and disappeared after whispering, "Awaken now my son."  The symbol of the earth blazed fiercely on his forehead and as that happened his pants disappeared only to be replaced by the earth's royal armor. The prince now stood where Darien was standing with tears running down his cheek. "God." He whispered before he collapsed to his knees. "What have I done?"

~*~*~*~

            In the study hall everyone but Mia and Ryo were in there talking about random things. It soon got quiet as no one could think of something to talk about. They had asked Yuli tons of questions about the millennium and he had tried to answer all of them carefully not sure his sister or Ryo wanted them to know what their rolls were.

            Kento sighed bored. "This is fun." He whispered roughly.

            Rowen rolled his eyes towards him as he kept his book on his lap. "Kento if it doesn't involve food or fighting you find everything boring."

            Kento narrowed his eyes. "Hey, at least I do something other than read, bookworm."

            Rowen frowned annoyed at his friend. "I'd be surprise if you can even read." He snorted as he stood up and put the book he was reading back into the shelf only to pull out another.

            "Did you just call me stupid?"

            "Did I stutter?" Rowen quietly replied with a grin on his face. It wasn't as if they hated each other, in fact they were close yet still tend to argue. Just like Serena and Raye.

            Kento took a small pillow on a chair and threw it at Rowen who simply just caught it. Kento breathed beyond annoyed that he had caught the small pillow.

            "You guys quit it." Sai spoke as he rolled his eyes. "Always fighting."

            Kento sat on the chair he was sitting on before and crossed his arms. "Whatever?" He grumbled while Rowen had a satisfactory look on his face before he took his seat.           

            Sage sighed while Yuli shook his head. "Hey that reminds me, where's Ryo?"

            "Oh he went to get a few things from Mia." Sai answered as he looked up from a cookbook. "He'll be back soon."

            Sage nodded.

            "Hey about this whole Ryo and Lita thing." Kento started.

            Yuli looked up at him curious. "What is it?"

            "Ryo says he love Lita but how does he feel about her being pregnant?" He mused over his question as he thought out loud. "I mean does he still find her attractive now that she's…well big."

           

Meanwhile…

            Lita had finish dressing and was walking down the hall to find someone to talk to, someone to keep her company. For some reason she had been feeling lonely and she always hated that feeling. Feeling and knowing most of the guys would be in the study hall she redirected her destination and headed towards there. As she was about to open the door she immediately stopped when she heard Kento's voice. Shocked and surprised her hand had fallen from the knob and her eyes began to water. A sob escaped her lips as she backed away from the door as if it had bit her but as she did back away she bumped into something, she quickly turned around only to find her self staring into dark blue eyes.

            "Lita?" Ryo spoke as he reached for her shoulder but she stepped back and ran away as fast as she could from him before she burst into tears. Before Ryo went after her he heard Yuli's angered voice.

            "Don't talk about my sister like that, Kento!" He screamed. "She had no choice in that matter and as for your lat statement, Ryo and Lita have been a couple before I was even born!"

            Immediately Ryo entered the room and looked at all of them a bit ticked off. He stopped in front of them standing few feet from Cye. "Whats going on here?" He asked not sounding happy at all. "What did you guys say?"

            All the men looked at Ryo surprised but quickly they recovered from it. "It was only a rude thought Kento had Ryo, nothing to worry about." Sage spoke as he stood up to face his leader and friend. 

            Ryo narrowed his eyes at Kento as anger built up. "That _rude_ thought was over heard by Lita." He looked at all of them as their expression turned to shock, but Kento's was of guilt and regret. "She ran crying! What did you say?"

            Kento looked away from Ryo's now enraged gaze guilty as he told him what he had said out loud. "I…I didn't mean it Ryo. I didn't know she was there, I swear."

            Ryo turned around and ran out of the room not even bothering to say anything. He was too angry too. Instead he just ran to Lita's room knowing she would be in there crying. When Ryo stood in front of her room he slowly unlocked it and pushed the door forward quietly. He was surprised to see Lita not crying on her bed. Instead she was standing in front of a window in her room with her back to him.  "Lita?"

            The brunette was startled when she heard her name. Quickly she cleaned any trace of her tears and looked over her shoulder to face Ryo only to look back to the window watching the trees.

            "Lita are you ok?" Ryo asked again as he walked closer to her.

            Lita bowed her head as she folded her arms around her large stomach. Tears began to form as she remembered Kento's words. "Stop Ryo." She shocked out as a quiet sob escaped her lips. Ryo frowned as he looked at her. "Lita don't take what Kento said seriously."

            "How can't I Ryo? He was obviously serious." she shot back but refused to turn to look at him. "He's right and you know it." She whispered. "I'm surprise you're…" She stopped as she was suddenly turned around. Wide wet green eyes looked into dark blue firm eyes, in surprise. "Lita don't ever doubt my love for you." He spoke quickly.

            The woman in his arms lowered her head and defeated she allowed her tears to fall. "But I'm so ugly and so big."

            Ryo gently placed his hand on her wet chin and lifted her head up so he could look into her eyes and smiled at her. "Princess, for one you can never be ugly to me." He whispered as he leaned in slowly. "Two, you're not big…"

            Lita stubbornly removed herself from his arms by stepping back wards. "Yes I am Ryo." She yelled at him. "I can't sleep right because I always have to shift my weight so it won't hurt. Do you know how hard it is to take a shower? Oh and don't get me on how much I eat or how I can't see my feet or…"

            Ryo pulled her to him and kissed her meaningfully. Hesitantly he broke the kiss and wiped the tears way from her eyes and cheeks. "Lita, why are you putting yourself down? You are a gorgeous woman whose about to give birth under a month from now. Every time I see you you're more beautiful than the last time."

            Lita looked at him shyly as she sniffed sporadically. "Really Ryo?" She asked in a whisper. "You find me attractive…like this?"

            Ryo smiled as he nodded. "Of course Lita. You're very attractive right now. Pregnant or not you are my woman that I will love and protect for a long time. Don't let anyone else tell you different or believe anything different. I love you Lita…Mako, I love you so much."

            Lita was so happy that she couldn't keep in the tears that as she laughed she cried, "Ryo!" She lifted herself to her toes and looked at him square in the eye before she leaned in and kissed him fully on the lips. Ryo, surprised at the force of the kiss pulled back a little before he returned it with equal passion. "I love you too."

            Ryo pulled away only enough to look at her. "You know Yuli yelled at Kento for what he said." He told her with a smile.

            Lita's eyes lit up as she smiled brightly. "He did?" She asked before she laughed. "When ever you were gone in the silver millennium he would be the one protecting me if anything happened. " She informed him. "I'm glad I have him back." She said as she rested her head on his chest. "I'm glad I have you back."

~*~*~*~

            Kento sighed as he sunk in his chair. "Yuli I'm really sorry I said that." He whispered. "I wasn't thinking."

            Yuli looked at him with a frown before he slowly lost it and smiled. "Its ok, I guess but I'm not the one you should apologize to." He spoke before stood up. "I'm going to check on her." He said before he left.

            "Hey Kento don't feel so bad! We all say things we don't mean." Cye spoke as he looked at his gloomy friend. "She'll forgive you."

            Kento only sighed. "I know." He whispered. 'I hope.'

            Well past Midnight, Ami was still awake in her room. The blue hair woman wiped her tears away as she closed her diary. She hadn't gotten the nerves to read it until now, she was so scared to what she was going to find in it and as she read it she could remembered little by little until she remembered everything about her past. An image of a man in an armor appeared in her mind and almost immediately a lonely tear slid down her right cheek, landing gracefully on the mercury symbol. She gasped when a slight glow was seen around it and suddenly a hologram began to appear over the symbol. She saw her self with a man. She could tell she was in her room because of the blue background. The man smiled at her as he walked up to her.

            "So what did you want to tell me?" The princess asked as she turned to face him. She gasped when she was looking into his eyes. She wondered how long he was standing behind her.

            "I love you Ami." The man whispered to her before he leaned in and kissed his princess.          

            A sob escaped from Amy's mouth as she witness this. "I love you too." She spoke. "Shin."

~*~*~*~

            Raye chocked on her tears as she closed the book. She had just had time to read her diary but deep in side she knew she was avoiding it. Knowing the truth of what happened in the millennium was in it unnerved her. And now she regretted reading even one sentence of it. She didn't want to know she had a love or a brother then and not have them here with her. She didn't like it at all.

            A tear fell from her eyes and landed on her symbol making it glow. She gasped in surprise as she looked at the image it created. A man held her close to him as they hugged. "Rei, please I don't want to argue any more." He whispered in her hair as his face was buried in it. Slowly he let her go and cupped her face with his hands as he looked at her with his indigo blue eyes. Tears fell from Rei's eyes before she kissed him. He looked surprised but he didn't let go of her and kissed her back.

            "Oi, you two I swear." A new voice spoke as he teased them

            "Shut up Ryo." Rei whispered when she broke the kiss but never turning to the man that interrupted their profound embrace. She could only hear his chuckles in the back of her mind as she continued to stare into her lover's eyes.

            Raye closed her eyes shut. She didn't want to see that nor hear it, she didn't. "I miss you so much Seiji…Ryo-kun!" She cried.

~*~*~*~

            Darien sighed as stood outside is apartment on his balcony once again. He had staid there pretty much the whole day just thinking. He had ignored everything around him as he just stood there wondering what the hell had came over him to sleep with Lita. He had made her into a mother he knew in his heart that she would never for give him for that. He just wish she could be here so he could take care of her, that way his mind, soul and heart would be at rest a little.

            Sighing once me he turned to go in feeling sleepy, but before stepping in he looked over his shoulder to see a shooting star. Smiling he whispered, "Lita I hope you're okay out there and I wish you were here."
