Chapter 6
She hadn't came out of her room for a week. She was laid lifelessly on her bed just looking out the window. For a moment, she was in the rocking chair with it moving gently to her own slow pattern. She was pondering deepy about certain things. Trays unpon trays of food were always returned, untouched.
"I can't take this any longer." Mia pounded her fist against the table in the kitchen. Kento looked up at her.
"What?"
"She's going to kill herself soon enough just sitting there, doing nothing. I can see her slowly starting to slip away before my vary own eyes. I know you can see it too Kento. Don't try to deny it." There was a knock on the door. Mia heard it open and then close. Kento went out to see who is was while Mia slid into a chair and held her face in her hands. The grief was building too much for her to take. It sadened her to see her just sitting there like she was ill or something. Yuli ran into the kitchen.
"Mia! Mia! The starlights are here!" Mia looked up at him after wiping her eyes.
"Oh. That's wonderful Yuli." His happy face when grim by looking at her.
"What's wrong Mia?" She shook her head and walked out threw the back door. He walked back into the living room to see Yaten and Taiki sitting down on the couch while the others watched TV. Kento was looking at a book in his hands still that he recieved from Yaten. Ryo looked at Yuli.
"Why the long face?"
"Mia doesn't look so good. It looked like she was going to cry when I went into the kitchen." Sai turned his head.
"I'll see what's bothering her." He left threw the kitchen.
"Where's Seiya?" asked Rowen.
"He went upstairs to talk to Makoto," said Taiki.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seiya looked at her thin frame. Her cloths where starting to hang off her skin as he could see she was thinner. He pulled up a chair and sat next to her. His hand gently went over hers feeling the coldness to it.
"Makoto, I know you can hear me. You know by doing this, there is nothing you're going to achieve except only death." He paused for a moment and sighed. She still looked out the window with the same rocking pattern.
"Makoto, think about your future. I know that I'm wrong to tell you this but, one day, you will see them again. All you have to do is believe in yourself and try to keep an open mind about things. I don't want to have someone call me and tell me you're dead. Reconsider your actions." His kissed her forehead and touched her cheek.
"I know in the end, you'll chose the right thing. By then, I hope it's not too late to save your own life." He then walked away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seiya walked down and stood near the couch.
"You're ready to go?" asked Yaten.
"Yeah. Unless you want to say a few words yourself." He smiled and went up the stairs.
"Did she say anything?" asked Ryo.
"Nope. She didn't even move at all. I guess all this death will crack someone down. I just hope she'll get over it before something happens that shouldn't have."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yaten took the seat beside her.
"Makoto, do you know what Usagi did when all of you where dead? She did what she had to do and that was, to heal Galaxia. You have two choices here. To kill or be killed. Which one will you have? I'm coming hard on you because its the truth and you need to know it. I don't want to see you cry Makoto. I just want to see you get back on your feet and fight for what is right. I've been hiding something from you. Tulpa was the one that killed them. I think you know what to do from here." He squeezed her hand for reassuance and kissed her forhead gently. Then, he left her in more of thought than she had ever had.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Taiki, it's your turn and then we can leave." He stood up and walked up the steps.
"Yaten, why did you give me a book? I don't read books unless it's about food."
"Kento, just read it. It's not going to hurt you," said Ryo.
"Whatever." He walked into the kitchen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Taiki walked in and pulled something out of his pocket. He sat it down on her lap.
"It's a letter from someone that I think is most interesting. It explains everything you need to know. Please read it and think about what they both said. I know that said some things that you might not have rather heard. Chose wisely Mako." He kissed her forhead and then left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He walked down stairs.
"You were done quick. What? Did she boot you out the door?" asked Yaten with a grin.
"I didn't have much to say. You two covered most of it. I could already tell."
"We're off then. We'll come around next week to see if any changed have been made." With that, they left out the door. Kento walked in with a tray and sighed.
"Ryo, want to take this to her? I know that you are dying to see her," he said with a wink. Roy took the try from him and started up the stairs and into her bedroom. He sat the tray upon her desk and walked over to her. There was an envolope on her lap which she hadn't touch. He sat down and looked at her.
"Makoto, please say something to me." He waited, only to find the silence. He noticed her chair wasn't rocking any longer.
"Damn it Makoto. You need to at least eat. You haven't touched anything for seven days. This is the eighth now and I can't stand this silence anymore." He had his head in his hands. Distress had came over him. There was more silence for a moment.
"Ryo..." His head shot up to look at her. She was looking at him. Letting her dull emerald eyes look into his deep blue ones.
"Yes Makoto?"
"Give me some hope to go on." He touched her hand gently.
"You have friends that care dearly about you Makoto. I know they don't want to loose any more of the senshi." She smiled at him and he soon became relieved that she would be fine. She seemed to look closely into his eyes.
"You haven't been reading, have you?"
"No. I've been thinking."
"About what?"
"You." There was a silence for a moment. It was broken by Rowen running into the room.
"Ryo, they took Sai!"
"What?" He quickly stood up.
"Tulpa has him now." Makoto grabbed the letter off her lap and quickly ripped it open. Ryo looked at her.
"What is that?"
"Taiki gave it to me. He said that it would explain everything and I want to find out now. Sai will be alright for the moment. They're only using him as bait." She unfolded it to be greeted by a light that seemed to take everything within it. She was quickly sucked in.
