Yaten Tenoh

Disclaimer: I like Sailormoon. Be that as it may, I do not OWN Sailormoon. I merely LIKE it. ENJOY it. Not own it.
Notes: Hi! Warning. Ridiculous, inaccurate use of SD characters. K? Good. So, ever seen 'Air Force One'? It's a cool movie. But, you know what? I saw that right before the planes hit the World Trade Center. It was like 'yikes'. But anyway, here's the next part of the story.

Chapter 8

"Where are you going?" Michiru, bleary eyed, asked. Her robe was hanging off her shoulders and her hair was a mess. Haruka, fully dressed and cleaned up, stared at her.

"What happened to you?" she asked teasingly. "You look like you went to hell and back."

Michiru glared. Haruka laughed quietly.

"Well, in answer to your question..." Haruka said, handing the violinist a cup of tea. "I'm going to go see Yaten."

Michiru lifted an eyebrow, as she took the offered cup.

"You're going to go see Yaten?" she said. "Are going to go see Yaten, or going to go 'to SEE' Yaten?"

Haruka threw a towel at her.

"You have a dirty mind." She said, rolling her eyes. "How's this, I'm going to go visit Yaten."

"I haven't heard that one before." Michiru replied. "Visit. Interesting word choice."

Haruka sighed. She shook her head.

"Nothing of the sort. I'm just going to go hang out with her. Nothing more." She said. Michiru pretended to look shocked.

"Are you capable of that?!" she gasped. Haruka glared at her and she laughed. "Sorry. Have fun."

"I will." Haruka said with another sigh. Michiru giggled. Casting one last glare at the violinist, Haruka left the house. She Walked over towards the garage.

"Hmmm..." she began to think. Helicopter, car, motorcycle... Helicopter, car, motorcycle...Helicopter, car, motorcycle...Helicopter, car, or motorcycle?! She picked the car. It would be easier to park than, say, the helicopter, and she didn't feel like wearing a helmet. So, car it was. And away she went.

Elsewhere......

A loud scream filled the Three Light's apartment. Taiki looked toward the hall.

"Seiya!" Yaten yelled, storming out of her room. Taiki blinked. Yaten was dressed only in her underwear and a bed sheet. But that wasn't (entirely) why he was staring. She was dragging what appeared to be a large furry monster behind her.

"What the..." Taiki muttered. Not only was the girl scantly clad and dragging a monster behind her, she was pissed. Really pissed.

"SEIYA!" she screamed. "SEIYA GET OUT HERE!"

Seiya slunk out of his room, looking nervous. To Taiki's amusement, Yaten flung the monster at Seiya. It hit the boy, knocking him off his feet.

"What the HELL is your problem!?" Yaten yelled. "You could have given me a freakin' heart attack!"

Seiya grinned, pushing the monster off of himself.

"Show me the face you made!" he said. Taiki's eyes widened.

"Boy, is he asking for it..." he mumbled under his breath. Now, as you may recall, Yaten has very Nuriko-esque strength. In other words, she could break Seiya's back with her bare hands if she had the notion. And right now, she did have a notion of a rather similar like. Only it was one that wouldn't _kill_ the boy. Just hurt him a lot.

"You...you..." Yaten grabbed Seiya by the collar of his shirt and lifted him a few feet in the air. (nevermind that Yaten is shorter than Seiya...) Then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Taiki said, getting up. "You two carry on."


Now, you see, Haruka was standing in the hall. She had just rung the Three Light's doorbell, and was waiting for it to be answered. Obviously. Well, when Taiki answered he grinned. In Haruka's eyes this was unusual. Taiki would occasionally smile. Sometimes smirk. But never grin. She gulped and entered the apartment.

Once inside, Haruka was treated to a rather...unusual sight. The sight being this, Yaten wearing only her underwear (white and lacy mind you, but that wasn't anything that Haruka hadn't seen) with a sheet pooled around her feet, holding Seiya up by the collar of his shirt. But that wasn't even the oddest thing to the blonde. What she was surprised by was the monster just under Seiya's feet.

"What the..." Haruka muttered. Taiki shrugged.

"That's what I said." he said with a sigh. Yaten, oblivious to the fact that her girlfriend was in the room, continued to yell at Seiya. She finally ended by throwing the unfortunate boy through his own bedroom wall. She then picked up her sheet and turned around.

"Haruka!" she said, jumping. Haruka smiled.

"Hi." She said. Yaten's look of shock melted into a sweet smile.

"When'd you get here?" she asked, walking over to the blonde. Haruka grinned.

"Just a couple seconds ago." She said. Then she looked over at where Seiya had begun dragging the monster away. "What's Seiya got?"

"Hmm?" Yaten turned to look. "Oh. That's an old monster suit from when we were in that tacky movie. He stuffed it so it looked real, then he put it in my closet."

Haruka grinned.

"And you found it?" she asked. Yaten nodded angrily. Haruka's grin widened.

"Show me the face you made." She asked with a slight laugh. Yaten screeched in frustration and stalked away to her room. Haruka smiled and shook her head, walking over to the closed door.

Now, for those of you who know anything about Fushigi Yuugi, let me tell you something about Yaten. While Yaten has Nuriko-like strength, she also has a rather Tasuki/Tamahome-like temper. In other words she has a temper which, when she loses it, can be quite dangerous. Like as in, she likes to destroy things when she's mad. Just as Tasuki 'Lekka Shinen's things and Tamahome goes all 'oni' like or whatever, Yaten gets pretty darn pissed. (and she's got a damn good throwing arm. Damn good. Like could throw a small ball at near the speed of a bullet...)

Therefore, Haruka was getting her self into quite a mess. It could also be said that by knocking on Yaten's door right now, she was 'digging her own grave.' A little chibi/SD Haruka popped up carrying a shovel and started digging. Haruka kicked it away and knocked again.

"Yaten?" she called. "I'm sorry."

The chibi/SD Haruka ran away crying.

Haruka gently pushed the door open and was greeted by strange sight #2 of the day. (if you don't count the chibi)Yaten was sitting on her floor, surrounded by shattered glass. She had a large glass shooter marble between her thumb and forefinger. Haruka saw her squeeze the marble, and it shattered into pieces. Yaten brushed the glass off her and picked up another marble, shattering it as well. Then she looked up at Haruka.

"He scared me half to death and you just ask what FACE I MADE?!?" she screeched. "I thought you'd be a little more understanding!"

Haruka sweatdropped. She put her hands up in front of her.

"Look, I was kidding." she said nervously. "I'm sorry."

Yaten glared at her and picked up another marble. She shattered it, and picked up another. This one she threw, hard, in Haruka's direction. By some odd chance, Haruka managed to dodge the marble and it went straight through the wall. The two girls heard Taiki yelp and something break. The girls looked at each other and Haruka had to work hard not to giggle at the thought of Taiki leaping away from the marble.

Yaten noticed and frowned. The SD Haruka was sitting in the corner being glared at by a SD Yaten. The two girls looked at the things and began to laugh. At this the Yaten chibi got offended and began glaring at the two girls. This only caused them to laugh harder. Now the Haruka chibi was mad at the girls for laughing at it's 'girlfriend' so it started to glare as well.

A Taiki chibi came and started scolding them just as Taiki opened the door. Seiya was with him. By now Yaten and Haruka had stopped laughing and were just staring.

As soon as Taiki and Seiya walked in and started staring, a Seiya chibi popped up and started laughing at the other chibi-tachi.

The normal people blinked and left the room.

"That was...weird." Seiya said. Taiki nodded mutely. Yaten and Haruka were sitting on the couch, already apologizing to each other. Seiya sighed.

"What?" Taiki asked him as they sat down at the kitchen table. Seiya looked over at Yaten and Haruka who were, by now, making out as though they hadn't seen each other in a year.

"Have you ever wondered?" he asked quietly. "What it's like to be THAT in love with someone?"

Taiki blinked.

"But aren't you and Michiru..." he started. Seiya nodded slightly.

"Yeah, but not like that." He said. "I mean, she's smart, nice, pretty...but, so is Ami, and so are you, and Setsuna...you see what I mean?"

Taiki shook his head.

"There's no love." Seiya said. "I like her, like a friend. But that's all. If 'smart, nice, and pretty friend' was all that meant anything, I could be with you, Setsuna, Ami, or her. But I want more. I want love."

"...aishiteru..." the two boys heard Haruka whisper.

"Aishiteru." Yaten replied. Tears sprang to Seiya's eyes.

"No one has ever said that to me!" He cried, choking back a sob and running to his room. "No one!"

He slammed his door. Yaten and Haruka were completely oblivious to what was going on, still being rather...busy.

And Taiki blinked. He seemed to be doing a lot of that today.
