Chapter 6
"Seiya I really don't understand you." Yaten whispered as she leaned her self more on her headboard. Seiya had helped her up without a complaint. "I mean." She spoke quickly before he could say anything. "You flirt with every woman that comes your way. You fell in love with our princess, yet when we went to earth to look for her, Usagi captured your attention." She looked at him with a sad smile. "You know, I was there when you and Usagi was on that roof. I heard you…"
"Yaten I…" Seiya immediately stopped when he felt Yaten's finger on his lips.
"Let me finish." Yaten voiced softly. "I'm I not enough? That's what you said." Yaten looked down at her sheets so Seiya won't see her tears she tried to push away. "You…You…" She closed her eyes and tried to relax. She was about to break down and she knew Seiya felt it too because now he was wrapping his arms around her. Pulling her close to him. Yaten rested her head on his shoulder as her hand clutched his shirt tightly, while her body shook. "How do I know you won't leave me? I don't want to have a baby by someone who might leave me. I…I…" Yaten didn't get the chance to finish what she was saying when the sobs took over. For the first time she cried her soul out in front of the person she loved. She had never let him or her see her cry, especially not like this.
Seiya sighed worriedly and hurt. He pulled her closer to him and rubbed her back softly. He had never seen her cry, not like this. Slowly she was showing him her soft side. Something she took great strength to hide. Now she was breaking down because she couldn't trust him or so he comprehended. How was he going to show her that he wasn't going to leave her? In so many ways he had told her that he loved her. So many ways, but never the direct way. At his own pace, he pulled Yaten slowly away from him so he could see her face. He smiled at her when he captured her attention. "Yaten," he whispered as he affectionately wiped her tears away from her cheeks. "For one I will never leave your side. You are carrying my child and I won't leave you." When Yaten was about to speak he stopped her. "Let me finish." He smiled at her. "You don't trust me but you will in time. I won't do anything to hurt you and I know you know that, you just haven't realized it yet. You," he took her hand and brought it to his lips. "Are someone I wouldn't mind spending time with. I don't know how many times I've told you that I love you but you seem not to hear it." His sapphire blue eyes searched her olive green eyes. "When you know someone for so long and your close friends, you tend not to notice them right away compared to others. And I understand that because that is exactly what happened to me. I didn't notice you because you were such a close friend to me but I always had that feeling towards you that no one could replace. When I knew I really loved you was when I came home late that night. I spent hours just thinking. I knew what I wanted. What I want and its you Yaten." He looked at her so sincere and lovingly it almost made Yaten's doubt go away. "Please, Please Yaten don't push me away." He gazed at her pleadingly.
Yaten blinked slowly before she looked away. "Are you just saying all this because I'm pregnant?"
"NO Yaten." He spoke firmly and without hesitation that it made Yaten looked up at him surprised. "Even if you weren't pregnant, I would still love you the way I do now. Why can't you just believe me?"
"I don't know!" Yaten yelled panicky. "Sometimes the way I see you look at different women…"
"Yaten that's just play."
"Well what if you're just playing with me?!" She screamed. Quickly she pulled herself together. "Don't you see Seiya? Your playing around before is making me doubt you now. This is why I close my self off. I don't like getting hurt. I don't want too. This is why I close myself off Seiya. How the hell can I trust you?"
"If I was playing with you, do you think that after I slept with you I'll still be close to you? I'll still try and get you to be my light? NO! You know me better than that Yaten." He asked her as he looked at her with hurt. "You know me better than that." He repeated in a soft voice. "Please don't push me away."
Yaten swallowed when she heard his voice. It was filled with all sorts of emotions but the ones that really stood out in her ear were the ones of Love and desperation. Slowly Yaten raised her hand and ran it through his head. "Seiya, I…" She stopped when he silenced her with a kiss.
When they broke away, they stared at each other for a long time before they both laid on the bed. Yaten rested her head on his shoulder while intertwining their fingers together. "So…" She paused as she figured out something to say. She wanted to change to subject. "When I do give birth will you stay as a man or a woman?"
Seiya chuckled. "Good question." His answer sent both of them laughing. "I like being in a man's body, hence why I haven't changed since we arrived." He looked down at her before moving his gaze back at the ceiling. "Taiki always said I was a tomboy. I feel at home in this body. Of course I will change when I need to fight but if Kakyuu allow me, I would love to remain like this."
Yaten frowned slightly. "Well I don't like it. I mean it took me a while before I could learn to walk comfortably with those things between your legs." She rolled her eyes when she heard him laugh. "Its true!"
"I know I remember too well." He chuckled. "You wouldn't stop complaining and the day you did change you were so angry."
Yaten giggled before she looked at him. "Well, I did get use to it. Remember Haruna-san? My god, talk about mood swings." She laughed. "I've never seen anyone like her before."
Seiya smiled as he looked at his star that was back to her old self. For the next twenty minutes he listened to her talk about who ever and whatever that came to her mind. He would respond to some of the thing she would say to tell her that he was listening to her. He would memorize ever face expression, hand movements she would do. He really did love her.
Yaten stopped talking when she noticed him looking at her intensely. She stared back to him for a moment before leaning in to kiss him. She smiled when she felt Seiya's arm around her waist pulling her closer. When their lips were almost to touch, someone cleared their throat. Both persons turn to look at Taiki standing they're blushing. They noticed he was henshin into Star Maker and they both grew alert. Yaten got off of Seiya. "What's wrong?" She asked.
Maker suddenly turned serious. "There's a youma attacking the city. Two of the trainees are down there slowing it down."
Seiya immediately stood up from bed and henshin to Star Fighter. The soldier turned to Yaten. "Stay here."
"What?!" Yaten exclaimed shocked before she glared at him. "Look…"
"No, you're not just thinking about yourself now Yaten. Please just don't go outside." She kissed her quickly before she could say anything else and left the room with Maker. When they stepped outside they saw their princess coming their way.
"I will stay with Yaten while you two are out. Knowing her she would want to be there. Don't worry. I won't let her leave. Now go." She ordered with a smile.
"Thank you Kakyuu." Fighter whispered before she bowed and ran after Maker. When she finally caught up with her she sighed. "Where is it?"
"South of the city." Maker whispered as they continued running. "Just follow me."
Fighter nodded.
The taller light smirked. "I see you two are becoming closer." She acknowledged.
Fighter blushed. "Yes." She whispered her only response. 'I hope so.' She added in her thoughts.

Yaten groaned frustrated before she fell back on her bed. She couldn't believe Seiya had just done that! He knew she could never stay out of a fight. This pregnancy will kill her! She wouldn't be able to do anything but sit around and Kami knows she hated THAT. Sighing she rolled to her stomach. It had been almost three months. She wondered when the pregnancy would start showing. She was suddenly pulled out of thoughts when she heard a knock on her door. "If its you Seiya don't coming in." She yelled loud enough for the other person behind the door could hear.
Suddenly there was a giggle and the door open. "That mad?" A familiar voice was heard and Yaten's eyes turned wide before she turned around to see her princess closing her door. "What did Seiya do to you now?" She asked with a smile.
Yaten looked at her hand feeling embarrassed. 'Next time don't yell unless you know who you're talking too.' She noted to her self. When she looked up at Kakyuu she tried to smile. "Nothing, he just wouldn't let me go with them. He thinks I'm going to die!"
Kakyuu giggled. "It's quite normal Yaten. I mean he is the father of the child in you and he loves you."
"The silver haired woman looked at her princess surprised. "He said that?" She whispered even though he had told her this he didn't think he would tell it to anyone else.
Kakyuu grinned. "He doesn't need to tell me. It shows by the way he acts. A lot have been picking that up." She told her as if it was the most wonderful thing. "The way he looks at you when you pass by reminds me of when my love looked at me."
"Really?" Yaten asked as she smiled happily.
"Hmph." She nodded.
"Oh hank you for telling me!" She hugged her princess with joy before she stood up and ran to her table, picking up her sketchbook and art pencils she ran back to her bed. "Let me draw you, please?"
Kakyuu laughed. "I'll be honored my healer." She stood up and settled her self on the groaned, seating on her legs and allowing her dress to surround her like a lake.
As Yaten drew her princess a smile was pasted on her face. Now she can truly rest her mind when it came to Seiya. She now truly knows that his or her love was to her and only her. She just hoped nothing would happen to her when battling.
Yaten and the princess spent their time talking while Yaten drew her. Kakyuu loved this moment. She was starting to get to know the real Yaten. The real Star Healer. She just hoped nothing will take this joy she knew her guardian was experiencing like it did when her lover taken away...
