Chapter 8
Yaten was worried. Seiya had left to go battle with Taiki and the trainees. They haven't came back and five hours had passed. Yaten didn't like this. They would usually take an hour not five. Just what the hell was going on? Yaten looked up to the door of her room, she frowned when she saw Semalia. She had expected it to be Seiya with his beautiful grin he flashes at her every time he would come back. The look on her servant's face was scaring her. She looked at Yaten with slight pity and sympathy. "What is it Semalia?" Yaten asked.
Semalia bowed her head. "They have returned." She whispered.
Yaten smiled yet it faded when she noticed something. Semalia had never came to her when Seiya and the others returned. What was going on? She looked at her servant now scared. Something was wrong. Semalia refused to look at her. "Semalia what's going on? Where's Seiya?"
Semalia turned her head away from her mistress not wanting to see her face when she spoke. "Fighter's in the healers wing Healer-san. She's been wounded badly I'm afraid. The princess sent me to you."
Yaten's body shook with fear while she wringed her hands as if trying to suppress it. "How bad are her injuries Semalia?"
"She's in a coma mistress."
Those words made Yaten wanting to cry but she refused too. She would not break down. 'Even though he's in a coma doesn't mean I lost him forever.' She thought to her self. "Seiya's strong. He won't leave me. He won't." She whispered to herself. She looked at her friend and servant with a small smile. "Take me to her."
"As you wish Healer-san." Semalia whispered.
When they arrived in the healer's wing both women saw Maker talking to Kakyuu. She looked as if she was about to cry. This petrified Yaten even more. Taiki wasn't one to cry. It took a lot to make the tall starlight lose her control in front of them. Behind her, Yaten could see the two trainees being healed by the healers. It looked as if they only had miner scratches on them. Slowly at her own pace, Yaten walked towards Maker and Kakyuu while Semalia staid back, knowing it wasn't her place.
The tall brunette stopped talking when she saw Yaten coming towards them. This caused Kakyuu to look back as well. She bit her lips as she saw the unshed tears in Healer's eyes. "Yaten you shouldn't be here." She whispered. "You shouldn't…"
"I can take it Princess." She whispered to her when she stopped walking. She turned to look at her friend and comrade for a long time before whispering, "what happened?"
Maker looked at her feet not able to look at Yaten's eyes. "The youma was stronger than all the others we fought. We needed extra help but Seiya said we would be ok. She knew you would come if you knew something was going on. So she insisted we would be fine. She didn't want you to worry. So we fought. The Trainees, Warden and Raider were struck down minutes after. The youma was coming after me…Fighter pushed me away just when the Youma was about to hit me…It threw her twenty feet back…She hit a wall hard Yaten…The youma attacked her again inserting more damage to her battered body. Before it could harm her again Warden, Raider and myself attacked at the same time…with all of out strength we defeated it but…Fighter had fell unconscious."
Yaten's body froze from the information she had received from Maker. She swallowed hard trying hard not to let her sobs come out. "Baka Seiya." She shocked out in a whisper, intending for her only to hear but both women besides her did. Turning her body from them she walked to a window. Tears started to fall as she looked inside. Seiya was in the room behind the window. From what she saw she didn't like. The woman on the bed looked extremely pale. A long gash was on the side of her face. Starting to her forehead and ending on her cheek. Bruises were on her once flawless face and body. Blood flowed freely from her wounds.
The healers were healing her wounds one by one but she knew they couldn't pull her out of her coma. She would have to do that herself. "Seiya." Yaten whispered as she pressed her hand to the surface of the window. He was laughing with her just yesterday. Teasing her, kissing her, holding her. How could this have happened? More tears fell from her eyes when she thought she hadn't even said I love you to him. Not once. Now he might be leaving her with out knowing she loved him. She didn't want to say it to him before. Cause she still thought that he would leave her, but know she could see she was only being foolish.
Turning to face Maker and Kakyuu, who were staring at her silently, she looked at them slightly afraid. "He will make it won't he?" She asked in a whisper.
"Yaten the healers said…" Maker began.
"He will make it won't he?" She repeated her question as more tears fell from her eyes.
Maker looked away from her not knowing what to say to the mother to be.
Kakyuu stepped closer to Yaten and placed her hand on her trembling shoulder. "Yaten calm down. I don't want to lie to you Yaten." She whispered to her as she looked in her eyes. "Seiya has a fifty fifty chance in walking up, but you also have to know he might not make it."
"Don't tell me that!" Yaten yelled as she sobbed. She backed away from her princess and turned to face the window. Her hand placed on its surface. "He will wake up." She spoke as tears fell. "He has too."
~*~
In her last month of pregnancy Yaten slowly walked into Seiya's room. After two weeks of being in the healer's wings, Kakyuu ordered them to put him in his room. For two weeks he had been in there motionless. Something that scared Yaten greatly. She had never known just how much she loved Seiya till the past last month.
Taiki had been making sure she ate and slept well, even though she gave him a hard time with it she appreciated his concerns. Everyone was walking on eggshells just because it was her last month of the pregnancy. They all annoyed her. Constantly they would be asking if she needed anything or if she was feeling ok.
Yaten sighed as she rubbed her swollen stomach. It had been exactly a month since Seiya fell unconscious. A part of her had giving up on him waking up again while the other struggled to keep faith in him. She didn't want to have the baby until he woke up. She wanted him by her side. Yaten stopped walking when she stood right in front of the door. Swallowing hard she pushed the door open unhurriedly and stepped in his room. Yaten faced the door as she closed it gently. She took a minute to gather her composure before turning around to look at where Seiya had been for the past two weeks. She frowned when she noticed the bed was flat. Suddenly panic rushed through her body before she ran as fast as she could to the bed. Her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. The bed was really empty. "Oh god." She whispered as she looked around her. "Seiya!" She yelled before moving to a door. She opened it and gasped at what she saw.
The person she loved was standing right in front of her. He face was wet from the water he had splashed on it. Behind him was the sink. The faucet was still on. "Seiya." Yaten smiled while she rushed into his arms.
His body stiffened from the pain that rushed through it when Yaten hugged him. The mother to be almost immediately stepped back. "I'm sorry Seiya." She whispered as she bowed her head.
Seiya smiled at her with love, but it quickly faded when he saw a foretaste of tears. Slowly so his body wouldn't protest too much, he reached for her cheek and sighed when he felt tears. He lifted her face up so he could see her. For moments he was lost in her gaze. When he did come out of his stupor he leaned in and kissed her forehead. "It's ok Yaten."
"Baka!" Yaten exclaimed as she buried her face in his chest. "Baka Seiya."
Seiya only smiled as he held the crying woman in his arms.
~*~
Two and a half weeks after Seiya woke up did Yaten go into labor. Everyone in the palace was on their heels as they moved about. It wasn't until two in the morning the next day when the baby was born did everyone settled down in exhaustion.
Seiya smiled proudly when he at a small pale face. He was carrying a newborn in his arms as he walked to the mother. He looked up at her with a large smile that told her he was pleased. "Hey the baby didn't turn out bad." He locked.
Yaten rolled her eyes as she smiled tiredly at him. She rested her head on her pillow while her hands reached out for her baby. Gently Seiya handed their baby to the mother. "She's beautiful." She whispered as she looked at her baby's face. Memorizing everything. Beautiful pale green eyes peered out of the baby's wrinkled face and swath of black hair crowned its head.
Seiya looked thoughtful for a moment. "You know I like Seizen better than Saiko." He spoke out loud as he watched his family by his side. "What do you think?"
Yaten hesitantly tore her gaze from her daughter to look at the man next to her. "I think Seizen suits her more." She smiled. "We can call her Sei for short."
"Then its settled." He spoke. "Her name is Seizen."
Yaten turned back to her daughter with a bright smile. "Yes, my little Seizen."
