Chapter 3
Everyone got ready for the warm weather that was ahead of them. After that rain storm last night, things were dry by the afternoon. They decided to spend the whole day out in the city to just look around. Tokyo was where the concert was taking place. Makoto had said something to the person at front which allowed them to get into the stadium before the concert opened. Yuli watched in amazement while they set up the stage. Then he saw one of the Starlights. He was in a red suit with a green shirt and yellow tie. A red rose was in his pocket. His black hair still in that long black pony tail.
"That's one of the Starlights!" said Yuli pointing up to him and jumping up and down.
"Seiya Kuo," answered Makoto.
"How did you know? They're a new band," said Mia.
"I have my ways," smiled Makoto. Seiya looked down at them.
"How did you get in here so early?"
"Makoto was the one to get us in here," said Yuli pulling her forward.
"Kino Makoto?" He asked.
"Hai," answered Makoto. He jumped down and walked over to her.
"Makoto, you've changed a lot since the last time I've seen you."
"Hai. I wish I could say that same for you," she smiled.
"Makoto, I need to talk to you for a moment, in private if you don't mind."
"Hai." She turned to her friends that just nodded and then left with Seiya.
"Why'd you come back after two years?"
"That's what I wanted to explain."
"Hai." He offered her a seat in his dressing room while he sat down across from her.
"This was a surprise to Setsuna about their sudden, well, death. She contacted us and told us to come, knowing that you would need help. She told us the sad news of what was happening. Makoto, they may not ever come back. If they do, that's when we'll leave." Seiya saw the girl grip her knees as her emerald eyes looked into his black ones. He could see the water building up in them slowly.
"You're telling me that Setsuna knew that they all were going to die but, wanted fate to take it's course? Couldn't she have teleported them out of there and back here instead of leaving me here to suffer and almost bleed to death by that armored man!"
"Makoto, calm down."
"Calm down? You want me to calm down? I don't think so." She went out the door, the tears finding thier way out, with Seiya following. Her grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"Makoto, understand, this was for the best. Which way would you have like it? For them to die in front of your own eyes while you laid on the ground bleeding, or have them die without pain, or knowing what was going on?"
"I wouldn't want either," she murmured.
"Was Mamoru on that plane?" asked Seiya.
"Seiya!" He let out a laugh and then hugged her.
"Setsuna said it would be the best if you stayed with us." She shook her hair.
"The Ronin's are fine enough."
"You've got an eye on one of them, don't you?" asked Seiya with a smile.
"Not yet," she smiled.
"Seiya, enough talk time with the fans. Give them your signature and tell them to leave." Makoto poked her head around Seiya to see a man with long white hair in the same style in a gray suit with light blue shirt and dark blue tie. A yellow rose was in his pocket.
"Yaten, I know you haven't changed." Makoto wrinkled her nose at him.
"You don't know me," he growled.
"Yaten, don't you remember her?" asked Seiya.
"No." He folded it arm.
"Have I changed that much?" asked Makoto.
"Makoto--"
"Makoto!?" He took a full look at her. Black shorts, red shirt that had the words ADIDAS in silver letters over the middle. He saw her hair was down plainly.
"Yaten, do you have it?" asked Seiya.
"Huh? OH! Yeah. Makoto, come with me." She waved to Seiya and left with Yaten.
"So, what do you have?" asked Makoto attaching herself onto his arm.
"Something that I think Setsuna should have gave you long ago."
"I'll give you one at the end of each week."
"You'll give me what?" He opened the door to his dressing room and walked in. She left go of his arms as he started to look around. He finally found the box that held what he was looking for. He pulled out and old leather looking book with the sign of Jupiter on it.
"Here."
"What is it? A book about Jupiter or something?"
"You'll see." He kept looking at her.
"Stop that! I'm not a stranger or something."
"You've just changed so much that I can't believe it. You use to me all--"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I'm the shortest in the group, well, except for Hotaru but, that doesn't matter." He nodded and looked at his watch.
"I have things to do. Um, we'll come and get you in a couple days at your apartment, okay?"
"I don't live in Tokyo anymore."
"You don't?"
"I moved and now, I'm staying with some friends that don't want me to go back to my apartment because they think it's too dangerous, yadda, yadda, yadda."
"Um, alright. Just give me your address to the palce your staying at."
"Don't know it."
"Meet us one stage after the concert, we'll give signatures to your friends, and get your address from one that knows it, okay? Now, you have about an hour to get started on reading that so, I hope you have a fun time."
"Alright. See ya Yaten." She hugged him and then left with the book in her arms. She walked down and got down.
"What happened?" asked Yuli.
"I got a book," she smiled.
"Did they sign it?" She giggled and took a seat.
"No."
"Read to me," smiled Yuli.
"Yuli, I don't think that Makoto knows if this book has something in it you might not like," said Mia.
"Like what?"
"Kissing," said Kento.
"Yuck! Nevermind. I'll pass."
"The show starts in an hour," smiled Makoto as she opened the book slowly. It suddenly disappeared out of her hands. She looked to see Kento holding it.
"Why read now? We've got things to do," he said.
"Like what?"
"Mia prepared lunch so, we're going to have a picnic by the lake. Lets go. I'm starved."
"Kento, you're always starved," said Rowen. There were snickers as Kento was about to hit him with the book, Makoto grabbed it.
"This is old and would probably break. I want to read it first and return in one peice."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
White Blaze was playing with Yoli and Sage while Kento and Rowen wrestled. Sai watched them. Ryo sat on the blanket and watched as Makoto slowly opened the book. Mia just started putting everything away and smiled at the way Ryo was looking at her. She looked up and turned to him. A smile crept on her face.
"Want to hear?"
"Sure." She went over to him and sat down. She turned the page gently to see beautiful writting on it.
~~~*~~~
I have never seen a man like that before. So cute, so strong, so full of faith, and hope. His eyes where a beautiful dark blue. When he spoke, I knew we were meant to be. His deep voice seemed to soothe the savage within me. We had got off to a bad start at first but, things got better once he spoke. I love his black hair. The way the sun rays touched it, giving it a shine. He was my Knight in shining Armor but, he was a part of royalty like myself. I have met other Princes' before but none seemed to click. Once I heard my moter speak those words of him staying, my heart jumped. I'll never forget him. Yet, I don't recall his name...
~~~*~~~
"It's a young woman's diary," said Ryo. She looked the sign and traced it with her finger.
"I wonder who wrote it though."
"Might find out in the end." Mia looked at her clock.
"We better get going before we're late for the concert." Makoto closed the book.
"Oh yeah. Yaten wanted to have us meet him and the band afterwards. They wanted to come and visit some time," informed Makoto.
"Really?" asked Yuli coming up with the rest of the guys.
"Yes. You can get all their signatures after the show too!"
"Come on, and lets go!" They quickly left to the concert where everyone was introduced, the address was given, and then they left to go home. Every morning, Mia fond Makoto asleep in the library with that book open.
