Chapter Five

It had been exactly two three weeks since the Starlights return. Kakyuu was so happy to have them back home that she had gave a grand ball for the three's return. It was a very joyous celebration. Everything went smoothly. Seiya and Taiki had staid in their men form while Yaten refused to. Kakyuu was a bit surprised when she spotted Seiya seating on a chair, staring at his folded hand on a table. Before at any other ball she would always see him flirt with the beautiful ladies and princesses but now he sat there looking almost sad. She had asked Taiki why and he had told her everything that he knew in a private room. It came as a shock to find out that Yaten was pregnant. She had expected Seiya and Yaten to get together during the vacation she had given them but she had never thought one would get pregnant. They acted so distant.

It took time to get use to it and even more time to love it. She had never told Yaten or Seiya that she knew about their situations. She thought it would be more proper to let them tell her. Now, three weeks later Yaten had fainted from exhaustion. She had been forcing herself to work, even though she felt sick. It was like she was running from her problems. The moment she had fainted, everyone in the room had came rushing to her. Seiya was the first to fall to his knees by her side. "Call the healers!" He shouted as he ran to Yaten's room with her in his arms. While Kakyuu and Taiki followed him. When arriving there, Seiya allowed Taiki to open the door for him before he carefully ran in the room, placing her down with such care it made Kakyuu smile happily towards them.

At what time the healer had came, she had quickly took over, sending everyone out of the room. Telling them that they would only disturb her concentration. It took more insisting for Seiya to listen to her. He wanted to be with Yaten. When she had finally emerged out of the room she sighed. "Its nothing wrong. She just fainted from exhaustion. She needs to stop pushing herself and allow the baby to grow inside her properly." She looked at all three of them and was surprise that they were not shocked by the fact Yaten was pregnant. She sighed once more. "If she continues like this she will lose this baby."

A bit relieved from hearing they were both ok Kakyuu was still disturbed when the healer had spoken the words 'lose this baby'. She prayed that wasn't going to be the out come. Neither less, Kakyuu forced a smile. "Thank you Tatsya."

The woman named Tatsya bowed to her queen before leaving.

The fair-minded princess looked at both Starlights in front of her before she spoke. "I want you two to look after her. If you see her pushing herself too much stop her and get her to rest. I don't want her or you Seiya to lose your baby." She smiled at the surprised expression on Seiya's face. "If she does it will be a very difficult time for both of you."

"How…"

"I told her on the night of the Ball." Taiki confessed as he faced his teammate.

"Don't worry I will not tall anyone." Kakyuu whispered. "You have my word, but now go in there and comfort her and that's and order." She teased as she grinned but Seiya knew she meant it. Nodding his head, he whispered his thanks before sauntering in to the room that kept the woman he loved.

The red head shook her head before looking up to Taiki. "Love. The most difficult emotion to deal with." She whispered to him with a smile.

"I know to well my princess." He smiled sadly.

"Missing Mercury?" She asked curiously.

"More than anything in the world." He murmured but Kakyuu heard him. When he turned to her she placed a sweet, sympathetic smile for him. "Shall we go back to the thrown room?" He asked as he gave her his hand to take.

Kakyuu giggled as she accepted his offer. "Most definitely."

Together, they both strolled through the halls with elegance as they talked to one another.

Seiya gently sat on Yaten's bed as he gaped at the beauty in front of him. She lay straight and peaceful against the silk with her hair a sprawl like a lake around her slender form. The sun that sipped through the windows gently kissed and shadowed her flawless face. Seiya couldn't believe this angel was carrying his child. He felt a smile grow on his face at the thought. A proud one.

Slowly he reached to touch what he had claimed so long ago. His finger brushed against her cheek so softly. He closed his eyes as he remembered that night they had shared together. She had been so willing, so trusting, so loving he could had hardly believed that it was the same Yaten he had grown up with. The same person that had always insulted him, the same person who he use to get into arguments all the time. Yet he loved her.

Yes, Seiya Kou had found his one and only soul mate. Now if she would only return his love back to him. He frowned at that thought. Yaten had made it clear that she didn't want to see him. She had been avoiding him since they arrived. Seiya didn't know how long he had been there with his eyes closed but he knew it was long because when he had opened his eyes, Lime green eyes were staring at him.

"What are you doing?" Yaten hissed as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Seiya glared back at her with the same amount of anger she was giving him. He took his hand away from her warm skin. If she was going to be difficult then so would he. He figured hey if she was acting so difficult then he can be difficult in finding why. "That was a nice thank you." He whispered.

Yaten looked confused and for the first time since she woke up she looked around her to see she was in her room. "My…"

"Yes your room. You fainted." He told her as he looked into her eyes. "The healer said you should take it easy."

Yaten growled as she tried to sit up. "The healer doesn't know me…"

"But I do." He shot back as he forced her back down. "For the sake of this baby's health you will take it easy Yaten." He looked at her firmly. "And for yours."

Yaten stubbornly looked away. She didn't feel like arguing with him, she was too tired to. "Is that what she said?" She whispered.

Through the corner of her eye, Yaten could see Seiya nod. "I guess Kakyuu now knows it."

"Well, it not really something you can hide Kou." Seiya teased as he brushed strands of hair away from her face. A soft sigh escaped Yaten's lips as she savored his touch. She leaned more into his hand, forgetting who she was in that moment. "Seiya."

The man smiled as he heard her say his name. As if in a trance, the man leaned in until his face was only mere inches away from hers. Looking into her surprised eyes, he smiled before he leaned in and placed his lips on top of hers.

Yaten eyes were wide as baseballs. She tried to move back but the arm that was around her waist kept her in place. When she knew it was futile to resist she gave into the sweet and loving kiss the person she loved was giving her. They both pulled away from each other when their dying lungs screamed for air. Seiya couldn't believe she had kissed him back. It was wonderful. When his eyes came to focus he realized Yaten's pale green eyes were looking into his. The way her faced flushed made her look so innocent yet alluring at the same time. The way they were positioned, gave Seiya whatever opportunities he wanted. He could feel her breast raise and fall from the closeness. It turned him on.

Yaten was looking at him for the longest time. She was lost in his sapphire blue eyes. Yet suddenly a familiar voice whispered in her mind 'Listen, Yaten, people who love each other are most of the time the last to know… The ways I see this is just miss communication…you and Seiya are meant to be…." Yaten blinked slowly as she remembered Mako's words. "One day, you'll know what I mean, but for right now, just go to him and talk.... You two have a lot to talk about…But go when you're read ok?'

"Seiya." She whispered his name and waited for his attention. "Help me sit up. We need to talk."
