To my little cheerleader, ::smothers her in a giant hug for supporting her throughout this whole thing and gives her a big kiss because she thought she was unloved:: I'll always love you guys!! ^_~ By the way, where can I find one of the those LIR t-shirts? My mom would freak out!! That's the most kawaii way I've ever seen anyone sign out before!!
Yeah, I know, this is a long author note, but I just wanted to warn you that this chapter is rated NC-17 in some parts. Hey, you wanted juicy, you got it!!

(Where Loyalty Lies)
They had both been waiting for this moment for so long and now the time had finally come. With a bit of hesitation, Seiya broke away from Usagi to take a second to look at her face, to see if this dream was truly reality. The small smile that rested on her lips was proof enough that she was not dreaming but finally being allowed to indulge in her fantasy. Usagi's face was coming back up towards her's before she could even think of going back for more. Her lips hungrily searched out the taller girl's but were interrupted before they had found what they sought. "Can you believe I got half way there and forgot my receipt?" Kakyuu's voice came from the living room down the hall and broke the moment between the two.
A light blush played on Seiya's cheeks while a look of pure annoyment passed across Usagi's. They broke apart from their position and walked down the hall to meet Kakyuu, so as not to have her find them in such a manner. Finding your fiancé in the arms of another in the bedroom that you two don't even share yet wouldn't exactly be a good thing. "Aren't you going to be late now?" There was something in Usagi's voice that seemed like venom to Kakyuu. She knew she had just come home at a very bad time and was kicking herself inwardly for it. If this marriage was going to work out, AND she wanted to keep Kounetsu, she would have to try her hardest to get Usagi to want to be with Seiya.
Neither of them liked the idea of the unwanted marriage, but under the circumstances that Kakyuu was planning to propose, she thought everything would work out just fine. "Yeah, I suppose I am." She said staring at Usagi with an unreadable expression. Her eyes drifted to Seiya who stood beside her and she noticed the residue of a blush still lingering on her cheeks. Was something already going on?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was hard for her to think of a plausible excuse to get out of the loft at such a time of night, and alone, but Seiya managed. Yaten was more than willing to be rid of her presence and Minako didn't seem to mind much either, though the pleading look on Taiki's face for her to stay was ever too priceless. She couldn't believe that her princess had left all of the windows and doors unlocked, what if some one had wanted to get in? Well she wanted to get into the apartment, but that was different. Seiya shook her head when she realized just how unapt for protecting themselves Kakyuu and Usagi were without their senshi.
The dark shadows of the night hid her form as she stood in the corner at the end of the hallway. Usagi's bedroom door was cracked open a small amount and Seiya stole glimpses of her from time to time. She looked just like an angel. Usagi had told Seiya before that she couldn't sleep with her bedroom door closed all of the way, she was scared. Seiya had briefly made fun of her for being such a baby about the dark, but soon found it cute in a way. The topic had come up when Seiya questioned Usagi as to why she didn't just shut her bedroom door as not to hear the noise that Kakyuu and Kounetsu made if she wasn't going to say anything about it. This was precisely why she was here tonight.
Kounetsu stow away from Kakyuu's room, closing the door behind him ever so gently. He glanced down the hall towards Usagi's room to see if she was awake and failed to notice Seiya glaring at him. He made his way into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Seiya removed her body from her casual lean against the wall and silently walked to position herself before the bathroom door. Moments later it was opened to reveal a VERY shocked Kounetsu. Before he could scream or say anything Seiya's hand was over his mouth as she grabbed the definition of his manhood squeezing it tightly. Seiya felt him wince in pain and yelp against her hand but she didn't let up as she led him out into the kitchen where she finally released him.
"That kills!!" He cried out protecting himself from any more of her on coming 'creative' attacks.
Seiya's eyes were narrowed as she looked him up and down. "You know I have no problem with you, ne?"
"Yeah, well you have a funny way of showing it!" He said in a loud whisper, neither of them wanted Kakyuu or Usagi to come and find them here.
"You can't keep doing this! Do you have any idea what you're doing to Odango?" Seiya lectured him and pointed down the hall towards Usagi's room.
Kounetsu developed a glint in his eye and a smirk on his face. Seiya didn't like his reaction one bit and couldn't comprehend what the hell he was so smug about. "You of all people shouldn't be pissed about what I'm doing."
"Nani?"
Kounetsu rolled his eyes in disbelief that she couldn't figure it out. "You're a smart girl, think." He waited and seeing that there was no response he continued. "If I'm here to 'provide' for Kakyuu…" He waved his hand in the air as though he was beckoning Seiya to continue for him. "… that means that…" Seiya still looked puzzled.
"That means that you're an even bigger ass than I originally thought you were?"
"No baka, that means that Usagi will turn to some one else…" He poked Seiya in the shoulder with the last part. "…that person could be YOU!"
The realization dawned on Seiya like a slap to the face. "ME?" She questioned unbelievingly.
"Well Kakyuu was hoping that it was you." He passed her a sly seductive glance. "And you're telling me that's not what you want?" He turned and slung his arm around Seiya's shoulder and sprawled his hand out in front of them as if he was showing something off to her. "Picture this, the beautiful princess of your dreams, with all the power and beauty that she was deemed to have and all she wants is to run into your arms because her wife won't satisfy her."
A smile played on Seiya's face but was soon erased when she tore his arm off of her shoulders. "That's not how it's supposed to be."
"What are you telling me you don't want her, are you saying that you don't love her?" Kounetsu looked at her inquisitively and folded his arms over his chest.
Seiya's face twisted into a pissed expression. "I love her more than anything in this world, don't you ever question me about that! I love her so much that I couldn't do that to her. The person she marries should love her, and ONLY her. You're out of line being here and if you continue to hurt her… well… I don't even want to start to plan your funeral!"
Kounetsu backed away a bit when he saw how truly pissed Seiya really was. She stood there fuming in the middle of the kitchen looking as though she would jump for his throat at any second. "Calm down… we can work this out…"
"Piss off!"
He was soon aware of just how vulnerable he was at that point in time standing there in only his underwear. This girl had been his friend, possibly one of his only friends back on Kinmoku and to have her peeved at him now was not a pleasant feeling. He felt some remorse for his actions but then again, the friendship he shared with Seiya was no match for the love he felt for Kakyuu. "You don't know what you're doing." He said with a stone face that was perfectly reflecting his attitude at the moment. He didn't want to lose his temper with her, he had to try and stay calm.
Seiya couldn't believe he was saying this to her, of course she knew what she was doing, she was protecting her Odango. If her fiancé wasn't going to step up to do it, that only left her. "I don't know what I'm doing? How the hell do you figure? I think you'd better get the hell out of here now." She pointed towards the door in a fit of anger.
"You'd sacrifice your princess' happiness for a princess that you have no sworn loyalty to? I think you'd better check your allegiance and choose your side now. Who do you have more devotion towards?" Kounetsu seemed temporarily amused by the shocked look on Seiya's face.
Guilt washed over her and her thoughts were no longer clear. Was she truly being disloyal to her princess? Was she committing treason? Seiya said nothing as Kounetsu walked past her and back to Kakyuu's room where she was waiting. On his way however, he failed once again to notice the unexpected visitor in the hallway.
Usagi watched as he walked by her unnoticed and once he was out of sight and behind the closed door her eyes went back to Seiya. She still stood in the same position that Kounetsu had left her gazing out the window at the full moon that had risen over the city. Her form started to shake and her shoulders slumped forward. Usagi made out the small drop of water that fell from her face and came in contact with the hard stone floor. She was crying… Usagi walked slowly to come up behind the raven-haired girl and wrapped her arms around her waist while resting her head between her shoulder blades.
Seiya jerked with surprise as she felt the sudden contact of another person against her own flesh. She quickly maneuvered from her hold and turned to see just who her captor was. There stood Usagi wearing a tank top and a pair of boxer shorts staring back at her. "Did you mean it?" She asked while Seiya continued to stare in wonder.
"What?" She asked wondering just how long Usagi had been listening in.
"When you said you loved me… did you mean it?" Usagi's eyes were pleading and hopeful, she wasn't mad at all that Seiya was here in her apartment in the middle of the night. If anything she felt somewhat grateful that she had stepped in to try and protect her.
Seiya took a step towards her, closing the gap that she had created between them and looked down lovingly into Usagi's eyes. "Of course I meant it. I love you more than you'll ever know." She said brushing some stray unruly bangs from Usagi's face.
Without a moment's hesitation Usagi threw herself into the taller girl's arms and took her lips captive. Seiya's shock lasted only temporarily and soon she was consumed completely by the embrace of the woman she loved. Was this really happening? Seiya found her mind asking the same question over and over again and each time it was graciously answered by the warmth of Usagi's lips pressed against her own.
Seiya soon found herself being ushered down the long hallway, back towards Usagi's room. Her mind was screaming at her that this wasn't right but her body just wouldn't listen. The sweet fragrance of Usagi's room filled her senses, the perfume she wore, the scent of her clothes, the essence of her, everything that she loved about Usagi. Usagi turned to face Seiya, both standing at the foot of her bed and looked up at her with an innocent glance, though the thoughts that were going through her mind were anything but. The blonde's lips met with the tender flesh of Seiya's neck and caused her to moan in ecstasy.
The taller girl's arm wrapped itself around the curve of Usagi's waste as her other hand slid behind her head and perched at the nape of her neck. Both arms drew her in and it didn't seem as though Usagi was minding one bit. Sensing the sensuality of Usagi's kisses growing ever more powerful, Seiya leaned into her a bit more causing her to lay back on the bed behind her. Now laying on top of her, she threaded her leg in between Usagi's long slender ones. Her hand was no longer satisfied staying respectfully at the top of her neck and began to explore more of this forbidden fruit. Forbidden…
As Usagi's hand trailed down the length of Seiya's luxurious ponytail it came to rest on the muscular mounds of her ass and pulled them towards her with simple force. It was an enticingly frank movement that sent sparks of excitement flowing through Seiya's body. She delved her tongue deeper into her Odango's mouth, searching out and feeling all that she was opening up to allow her to. Wanting more of what she was already getting, Usagi lifted her head up from its place on the mattress and deepened their kiss even more.
Seiya shifted and moved herself into a higher position to regain some dominance that she had lost and felt Usagi's hands slip under the lower hem of her skirt placing both of her hands on the delicate rim of her panties. Until now Seiya had been afraid to open her eyes in fear that Usagi would disappear if she had. The first glimpse she took proved that Usagi was indeed still there, her eyes were closed and a content smile played upon her lips as she broke their kiss. This in turn caused a smile of her own to appear as she moved her face down her lover's tight body to pull up her shirt. In a trail of small kisses Seiya worked her way up Usagi's abdomen and occasionally looked up to see the reaction on her face. Venturing further more still she exposed the unbound mounds of perfection that once lay hidden beneath the cotton fabric. Her tongue made smooth circles around one of her nipples while her hand cupped the other breast allowing her thumb to slide freely over its nipple's surface.
Usagi didn't know how much more of this she could handle and they had only just begun. She put more pressure on Seiya lower half pressing the other girl against her further. The tingling sensation that was growing between her thighs was being ebbed but teased at the same time by this pressure. Her movements began in the slow grinding of her hips against the girl's that were pleasing her on top. Her lips felt so good on the bare skin of her breasts but she couldn't help but yearn for them to be on hers again. As if she had read her mind Seiya's head came back up to capture Usagi's lips once more. Unable to control herself anymore Usagi switched up her position so that she came out on top of Seiya. Sitting up straight while Seiya lay on her back, Usagi lifted her arms over her head and removed her top that had previously restricted their contact.
Seiya couldn't help but marvel at the sight that was placed before her. Such perfection in a girl who didn't even know she possessed it. Usagi saw that Seiya was captivated by what she was doing and paused for a moment to allow her to take the entire scene in. The curve of her supple breast broke way to the harder line of her ribs, but soon bowed in once again for her slender waist. Usagi bent down and placed a small kiss on Seiya's lips and motioned for her to sit up with her. When she did and Usagi was now sitting on her lap, Usagi wrapped her legs around her while pulling up her shirt. After her shirt was removed, Seiya's lips found their way back to the valley between Usagi's breasts. Usagi placed her arms over Seiya's shoulders and drew the woman's face into her bosom feeling even more of a twinge of eroticism.
Her hands slid over Seiya's shoulders and caused the straps of her bra to fall and rest further down her arm. In much the same way that Seiya had done to her, Usagi leaned in and coaxed Seiya's form down to the bed. She took her place beside her and began kissing the line of where the boundaries of her bra gave way to the fullness of her breasts. Seiya's head went back and she enjoyed every moment that the wetness of Usagi's lips touched her skin. Unconsciously her hips began to swivel and caused her body to begin to sway with Usagi's. Usagi sensed her growing passion and once again slipped her hand down under Seiya's skirt. Her hand felt the wetness that was growing between Seiya's legs and slid a finger under her now soaked satin panties.
Seiya gasped when she felt Usagi's finger run along her smooth sex and immediately brought her face foreword to meet with Usagi's. Usagi turned her head up and became enraptured by yet another round of passionate kisses from the girl she was pleasing. All of her inhibitions slipped away as she found this was almost the same as when she would please herself, except this time she got the pleasure of watching Seiya enjoy herself. Every now and again she would slid a finger or two into her lover and feel her body tense up. She had to smile at this, and hoped that Seiya was enjoying this as much as she was.
Seiya felt it coming on in waves but knew that she would never actually get off. Her mind was completely on Usagi yes, but it wasn't just the heat of the moment or the passion being shared between them, it was her sense of duty, the words that Kounetsu had spoke and Usagi's future too. Seiya's hips were now bucking against Usagi's hand, but just before she felt herself about to peek she pulled back from Usagi. Usagi stared in wonder at her, as did Seiya, she couldn't believe that she could have lost control like that. Seiya couldn't believe that she could have done this to her Odango. Usagi neared her trying to regain what was just lost but Seiya moved away even more. "Gomen…" She said as she held Usagi away by her shoulders.
"Seiya?" Usagi questioned, her eyes searched Seiya's face for any signs of what was wrong. "I don't understand."
"Gomen nasai Odango… I have to go." She said getting rolling further away from the blond. They couldn't be doing this, it was just as bad as Kakyuu and Kounetsu. She wasn't going to live her life being a second, a substitute for Usagi's wife. To love Usagi and give herself to her completely was all she would ever want, but she wanted the same from her in return.
"But why?" Usagi was on her hands and knees on the bed as Seiya stood up and replaced her clothing. "I don't understand… you told me you loved me."
This was one of the hardest things Seiya had to do, to get up and leave her Odango when she was begging her to stay. She walked to the foot of the bed and allowed her eyes to linger on Usagi's form one last time before speaking. "Odango, I do love you, but you're going to be married in a few days."
"Seiya, I don't love her, I love you!" Usagi crawled a bit closer to her. "I love you… Please stay, I'm not married yet."
"I'm not going to be the person that hides in the sidelines waiting for you to have time to offer me." Her voice was amazingly strong compared to how weak she felt in heart and body. "I just can't do it Odango."
"Won't you just stay, just for tonight then? Let us at least be together once before I have to throw my life and my heart away at that alter." The tears made themselves apparent in Usagi's eyes as she pleaded her case before her. "Please?"
Seiya's eyes shifted over Usagi's vulnerable body and then finally rested on the moisture that was now pouring from her eyes. She leaned in and placed a hand on the bed beside Usagi and brought her knee up to the other side of her and wrapped her in all the passion she had once again. Usagi's tenseness faded and a sigh of relief escaped her mouth.
Seiya became aware of the disgruntled look on Usagi's face and stared down at her strangely. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted me to stay."
Usagi sighed again and rolled her eyes. "I do, but now I have to start all over at undressing you!" She said with a smile and came back up to kiss Seiya playfully.
"Oh?" She replied with a grin ten times more devious than usual and began shedding her clothes before her. With every new inch that she exposed, Usagi took the opportunity to explore with her hands and lips.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sight that lay before Kakyuu this glorious morning was pleasure in itself. Kounetsu had told her of Seiya's little visit last night and now that she had awoken and Usagi's door was shut firmly, she knew her suspicions had been true. It was just a matter of time before she was going to have her cake and eat it too. She smiled as herself in delight.
She had her doubts before about whether or not Seiya would accept such an arrangement; she never once thought that Usagi would have a problem with it. Usagi was the type of person who constantly needed love and to know that she was loved. Kakyuu wasn't ready to take on that kind of responsibility especially when she was giving her all to Kounetsu still. She figured that Usagi would have no problem finding some one else to fulfill her needs. Just to make sure and pacify her curiosity she nudged the door open a bit.
There tangled in the sheets of Usagi's bed lay Seiya and Usagi still wrapped together in an embrace. Although Kakyuu had never found the naked body of a woman to be enticing at all, something about this situation turned her on. Seeing her fiancé exhausted and resting peacefully in the arms of her Starlight with nothing between them gave her a great sense of pleasure. "A few more days and all of our anxiety will be gone." She said as she closed the door once again, leaving them to awaken thinking that they were still cloaked in secrecy.
Seiya awoke and noticed the sunlight that was now coming in through the windows. She gained her bearings on her position and situation. She jerked back in shock when she finally realized what had happened. There in her arms was a very vulnerable Usagi snuggling up against her with a smile. She immediately felt shame for her actions and tried to slip away unnoticed. Without a sound she got dressed and collected her things. During this time Usagi had awoken and noticed the commotion but didn't say anything.
So as not to be caught, Seiya climbed gracefully and quietly out Usagi's bedroom window and onto the fire escape. "Oi, what a way to start the day!" She exclaimed exasperated at the fact she to scale an apartment building first thing in the morning.
Usagi pulled the sheets around her a little tighter and up to her chin. She couldn't believe that she had just up and left her this morning. Her dream hadn't come that night, well not the nightmare anyway, but this time it was the pleasant setting of her and Seiya sitting on top of the grassy hill in the sunlight again. The wedding was now the day after tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The morning broke over the landscape as the colors of dawn merged with the colors of day. Yaten woke, earlier than usual for her normal routine, but for some reason she wasn't bent on complaining about it. Opening her eyes she took a look around the room to see everyone else's state. Taiki was asleep across the room with a book hanging from her hand, and Seiya wasn't in her bed. Her sheets hadn't been moved and Yaten knew she never came home last night. Last was Minako, still asleep not too far from her beneath one of the large windows. The newly risen sun sprawled its rays on Minako's sleeping form giving her a warm and inviting look. Yaten wrapped her blanket around her and stepped over to where Minako was laying. She stood above her for a few seconds before finally kneeling down to lay with her. She didn't care whether or not Taiki woke up and saw them, it's not like they were doing anything, she just wanted to lay with her. Was there any harm in that?
Minako stirred when Yaten's body came to rest beside hers and her eyes slowly opened to see who her visitor was. "Yaten?" She asked trying to figure out what was going on.
"Shhh…" Yaten said pointing to Taiki. "I was cold." She lied and snuggled up to Minako's form more.
Minako had to smile. Never in a million years had she ever expected Yaten to be acting this way, and to her nonetheless. Sure she had her suspicions but this was unbelievable. She decided not to ask questions and break the mood. Her arms went around the sliver haired girl's and they lay there comfortably. "You know, Seiya's never going to let you hear the end of this when she wakes up." Minako giggled.
"She never came home last night." Yaten kissed the tip of her nose and gave her a wink.
Minako smiled with her eyes closed, she was still a little groggy from lack of sleep. "I wonder where she is?"
"Does it matter? She's not here, that's a bonus in itself." Yaten grumbled but managed to give Minako another sweet kiss in the process.
"Oh, you're so busted!" Seiya said walking past them with a smile. She walked over and flopped herself onto her futon and put a pillow over her head. Yaten's fist clenched up and her eyes closed in frustration. Seiya's hand waved up over the pillow. "Go ahead with what you were doing, don't mind me!" She said all too casually.
Minako felt the blush on her cheeks as she slinked under the covers a little more. "Where were you last night, ne?" Yaten smirked amused sitting up from her position. So what if she was laying next to Minako, she wasn't the one who stayed out all last night. "You look a little tired… up late last night?" She continued her interrogation.
Seiya winced at the thought of having to tell Yaten where she was last night. "I was cleaning up the trash." She was referring to Kounetsu, that was the real reason she had gone out last night, although it wasn't the thing that kept her out.
"Reeaaallllyyyy…" Yaten said rolling her eyes. Minako too became intrigued with their little adventurer. "So how about you tell us the truth?"
Seiya feigned snoring and felt a pillow hit her body. "Damn you, I'm trying to sleep."
"You're not getting out of this that easily!" Yaten got up and marched over to where she was laying.
"I'm warning you, if you jump on me so help me Kamisama, you're gonna pay!" Seiya's threat was muffled from under the pillow and she took it off at just the right time to see Yaten and Minako coming up on her. "Ahhh!! Damn you people, you can't just double team some one who's trying to sleep!"
"I didn't see that in the rules, did you?" Minako asked sarcastically of Yaten.
"Nope, I didn't see anything like it!" They both came down in an annoying lump on top of Seiya. "You REEK!" Yaten announced pulling away from Seiya with wide eyes. "Where the hell were you last night?"
Seiya looked over at her with a devious smirk and even more mischievous eyes. Minako didn't understand what she was talking about. "What? I don't get it." She whined looking from Yaten to Seiya.
"Who the hell were you with?" Yaten was dead serious, but more in a curious way than threatening.
"I don't kiss and tell." Seiya said shoving Yaten away in the process. All of the sudden Minako caught on and too caught a whiff of the sex that surrounded Seiya.
Minako stood up and began to walk away, but before she got too far she looked back over her shoulder and winked at Seiya. "I'm sure Usagi will appreciate that fact!"
To my little cheerleader, ::smothers her in a giant hug for supporting her throughout this whole thing and gives her a big kiss because she thought she was unloved:: I'll always love you guys!! ^_~ By the way, where can I find one of the those LIR t-shirts?

They had both been waiting for this moment for so long and now the time had finally come. With a bit of hesitation, Seiya broke away from Usagi to take a second to look at her face, to see if this dream was truly reality. The small smile that rested on her lips was proof enough that she was not dreaming but finally being allowed to indulge in her fantasy. Usagi's face was coming back up towards her's before she could even think of going back for more. Her lips hungrily searched out the taller girl's but were interrupted before they had found what they sought. "Can you believe I got half way there and forgot my receipt?" Kakyuu's voice came from the living room down the hall and broke the moment between the two.
A light blush played on Seiya's cheeks while a look of pure annoyment passed across Usagi's. They broke apart from their position and walked down the hall to meet Kakyuu, so as not to have her find them in such a manner. Finding your fiancé in the arms of another in the bedroom that you two don't even share yet wouldn't exactly be a good thing. "Aren't you going to be late now?" There was something in Usagi's voice that seemed like venom to Kakyuu. She knew she had just come home at a very bad time and was kicking herself inwardly for it. If this marriage was going to work out, AND she wanted to keep Kounetsu, she would have to try her hardest to get Usagi to want to be with Seiya.
Neither of them liked the idea of the unwanted marriage, but under the circumstances that Kakyuu was planning to propose, she thought everything would work out just fine. "Yeah, I suppose I am." She said staring at Usagi with an unreadable expression. Her eyes drifted to Seiya who stood beside her and she noticed the residue of a blush still lingering on her cheeks. Was something already going on?

It was hard for her to think of a plausible excuse to get out of the loft at such a time of night, and alone, but Seiya managed.

Seiya shook her head when she realized just how unapt for protecting themselves Kakyuu and Usagi were without their senshi.
The dark shadows of the night hid her form as she stood in the corner at the end of the hallway. Usagi's bedroom door was cracked open a small amount and Seiya stole glimpses of her from time to time. She looked just like an angel. Usagi had told Seiya before that she couldn't sleep with her bedroom door closed all of the way, she was scared.

Kounetsu stow away from Kakyuu's room, closing the door behind him ever so gently. He glanced down the hall towards Usagi's room to see if she was awake and failed to notice Seiya glaring at him. He made his way into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Seiya removed her body from her casual lean against the wall and silently walked to position herself before the bathroom door.

Before he could scream or say anything Seiya's hand was over his mouth as she grabbed the definition of his manhood squeezing it tightly. Seiya felt him wince in pain and yelp against her hand but she didn't let up as she led him out into the kitchen where she finally released him.
"That kills!!" He cried out protecting himself from any more of her on coming 'creative' attacks.
Seiya's eyes were narrowed as she looked him up and down. "You know I have no problem with you, ne?"
"Yeah, well you have a funny way of showing it!" He said in a loud whisper, neither of them wanted Kakyuu or Usagi to come and find them here.
"You can't keep doing this! Do you have any idea what you're doing to Odango?" Seiya lectured him and pointed down the hall towards Usagi's room.
Kounetsu developed a glint in his eye and a smirk on his face. Seiya didn't like his reaction one bit and couldn't comprehend what the hell he was so smug about. "You of all people shouldn't be pissed about what I'm doing."
"Nani?"
Kounetsu rolled his eyes in disbelief that she couldn't figure it out. "You're a smart girl, think." He waited and seeing that there was no response he continued. "If I'm here to 'provide' for Kakyuu…" He waved his hand in the air as though he was beckoning Seiya to continue for him. "… that means that…" Seiya still looked puzzled.
"That means that you're an even bigger ass than I originally thought you were?"
"No baka, that means that Usagi will turn to some one else…" He poked Seiya in the shoulder with the last part. "…that person could be YOU!"
The realization dawned on Seiya like a slap to the face. "ME?" She questioned unbelievingly.
"Well Kakyuu was hoping that it was you." He passed her a sly seductive glance. "And you're telling me that's not what you want?" He turned and slung his arm around Seiya's shoulder and sprawled his hand out in front of them as if he was showing something off to her. "Picture this, the beautiful princess of your dreams, with all the power and beauty that she was deemed to have and all she wants is to run into your arms because her wife won't satisfy her."
A smile played on Seiya's face but was soon erased when she tore his arm off of her shoulders. "That's not how it's supposed to be."
"What are you telling me you don't want her, are you saying that you don't love her?" Kounetsu looked at her inquisitively and folded his arms over his chest.
Seiya's face twisted into a pissed expression. "I love her more than anything in this world, don't you ever question me about that! I love her so much that I couldn't do that to her. The person she marries should love her, and ONLY her. You're out of line being here and if you continue to hurt her… well… I don't even want to start to plan your funeral!"
Kounetsu backed away a bit when he saw how truly pissed Seiya really was. She stood there fuming in the middle of the kitchen looking as though she would jump for his throat at any second. "Calm down… we can work this out…"
"Piss off!"
He was soon aware of just how vulnerable he was at that point in time standing there in only his underwear. This girl had been his friend, possibly one of his only friends back on Kinmoku and to have her peeved at him now was not a pleasant feeling. He felt some remorse for his actions but then again, the friendship he shared with Seiya was no match for the love he felt for Kakyuu. "You don't know what you're doing." He said with a stone face that was perfectly reflecting his attitude at the moment. He didn't want to lose his temper with her, he had to try and stay calm.
Seiya couldn't believe he was saying this to her, of course she knew what she was doing, she was protecting her Odango. If her fiancé wasn't going to step up to do it, that only left her. "I don't know what I'm doing? How the hell do you figure? I think you'd better get the hell out of here now." She pointed towards the door in a fit of anger.
"You'd sacrifice your princess' happiness for a princess that you have no sworn loyalty to? I think you'd better check your allegiance and choose your side now. Who do you have more devotion towards?" Kounetsu seemed temporarily amused by the shocked look on Seiya's face.
Guilt washed over her and her thoughts were no longer clear. Was she truly being disloyal to her princess? Was she committing treason? Seiya said nothing as Kounetsu walked past her and back to Kakyuu's room where she was waiting. On his way however, he failed once again to notice the unexpected visitor in the hallway.
Usagi watched as he walked by her unnoticed and once he was out of sight and behind the closed door her eyes went back to Seiya. She still stood in the same position that Kounetsu had left her gazing out the window at the full moon that had risen over the city. Her form started to shake and her shoulders slumped forward. Usagi made out the small drop of water that fell from her face and came in contact with the hard stone floor. She was crying… Usagi walked slowly to come up behind the raven-haired girl and wrapped her arms around her waist while resting her head between her shoulder blades.
Seiya jerked with surprise as she felt the sudden contact of another person against her own flesh. She quickly maneuvered from her hold and turned to see just who her captor was. There stood Usagi wearing a tank top and a pair of boxer shorts staring back at her. "Did you mean it?" She asked while Seiya continued to stare in wonder.
"What?" She asked wondering just how long Usagi had been listening in.
"When you said you loved me… did you mean it?" Usagi's eyes were pleading and hopeful, she wasn't mad at all that Seiya was here in her apartment in the middle of the night. If anything she felt somewhat grateful that she had stepped in to try and protect her.
Seiya took a step towards her, closing the gap that she had created between them and looked down lovingly into Usagi's eyes. "Of course I meant it. I love you more than you'll ever know." She said brushing some stray unruly bangs from Usagi's face.
Without a moment's hesitation Usagi threw herself into the taller girl's arms and took her lips captive. Seiya's shock lasted only temporarily and soon she was consumed completely by the embrace of the woman she loved. Was this really happening? Seiya found her mind asking the same question over and over again and each time it was graciously answered by the warmth of Usagi's lips pressed against her own.
Seiya soon found herself being ushered down the long hallway, back towards Usagi's room. Her mind was screaming at her that this wasn't right but her body just wouldn't listen. The sweet fragrance of Usagi's room filled her senses, the perfume she wore, the scent of her clothes, the essence of her, everything that she loved about Usagi. Usagi turned to face Seiya, both standing at the foot of her bed and looked up at her with an innocent glance, though the thoughts that were going through her mind were anything but. The blonde's lips met with the tender flesh of Seiya's neck and caused her to moan in ecstasy.
The taller girl's arm wrapped itself around the curve of Usagi's waste as her other hand slid behind her head and perched at the nape of her neck. Both arms drew her in and it didn't seem as though Usagi was minding one bit. Sensing the sensuality of Usagi's kisses growing ever more powerful, Seiya leaned into her a bit more causing her to lay back on the bed behind her. Now laying on top of her, she threaded her leg in between Usagi's long slender ones. Her hand was no longer satisfied staying respectfully at the top of her neck and began to explore more of this forbidden fruit. Forbidden…
As Usagi's hand trailed down the length of Seiya's luxurious ponytail it came to rest on the muscular mounds of her ass and pulled them towards her with simple force. It was an enticingly frank movement that sent sparks of excitement flowing through Seiya's body. She delved her tongue deeper into her Odango's mouth, searching out and feeling all that she was opening up to allow her to. Wanting more of what she was already getting, Usagi lifted her head up from its place on the mattress and deepened their kiss even more.
Seiya shifted and moved herself into a higher position to regain some dominance that she had lost and felt Usagi's hands slip under the lower hem of her skirt placing both of her hands on the delicate rim of her panties. Until now Seiya had been afraid to open her eyes in fear that Usagi would disappear if she had. The first glimpse she took proved that Usagi was indeed still there, her eyes were closed and a content smile played upon her lips as she broke their kiss. This in turn caused a smile of her own to appear as she moved her face down her lover's tight body to pull up her shirt. In a trail of small kisses Seiya worked her way up Usagi's abdomen and occasionally looked up to see the reaction on her face. Venturing further more still she exposed the unbound mounds of perfection that once lay hidden beneath the cotton fabric. Her tongue made smooth circles around one of her nipples while her hand cupped the other breast allowing her thumb to slide freely over its nipple's surface.
Usagi didn't know how much more of this she could handle and they had only just begun. She put more pressure on Seiya lower half pressing the other girl against her further. The tingling sensation that was growing between her thighs was being ebbed but teased at the same time by this pressure. Her movements began in the slow grinding of her hips against the girl's that were pleasing her on top. Her lips felt so good on the bare skin of her breasts but she couldn't help but yearn for them to be on hers again. As if she had read her mind Seiya's head came back up to capture Usagi's lips once more. Unable to control herself anymore Usagi switched up her position so that she came out on top of Seiya. Sitting up straight while Seiya lay on her back, Usagi lifted her arms over her head and removed her top that had previously restricted their contact.
Seiya couldn't help but marvel at the sight that was placed before her. Such perfection in a girl who didn't even know she possessed it. Usagi saw that Seiya was captivated by what she was doing and paused for a moment to allow her to take the entire scene in. The curve of her supple breast broke way to the harder line of her ribs, but soon bowed in once again for her slender waist. Usagi bent down and placed a small kiss on Seiya's lips and motioned for her to sit up with her. When she did and Usagi was now sitting on her lap, Usagi wrapped her legs around her while pulling up her shirt. After her shirt was removed, Seiya's lips found their way back to the valley between Usagi's breasts. Usagi placed her arms over Seiya's shoulders and drew the woman's face into her bosom feeling even more of a twinge of eroticism.
Her hands slid over Seiya's shoulders and caused the straps of her bra to fall and rest further down her arm. In much the same way that Seiya had done to her, Usagi leaned in and coaxed Seiya's form down to the bed. She took her place beside her and began kissing the line of where the boundaries of her bra gave way to the fullness of her breasts. Seiya's head went back and she enjoyed every moment that the wetness of Usagi's lips touched her skin. Unconsciously her hips began to swivel and caused her body to begin to sway with Usagi's. Usagi sensed her growing passion and once again slipped her hand down under Seiya's skirt. Her hand felt the wetness that was growing between Seiya's legs and slid a finger under her now soaked satin panties.
Seiya gasped when she felt Usagi's finger run along her smooth sex and immediately brought her face foreword to meet with Usagi's. Usagi turned her head up and became enraptured by yet another round of passionate kisses from the girl she was pleasing. All of her inhibitions slipped away as she found this was almost the same as when she would please herself, except this time she got the pleasure of watching Seiya enjoy herself. Every now and again she would slid a finger or two into her lover and feel her body tense up. She had to smile at this, and hoped that Seiya was enjoying this as much as she was.
Seiya felt it coming on in waves but knew that she would never actually get off. Her mind was completely on Usagi yes, but it wasn't just the heat of the moment or the passion being shared between them, it was her sense of duty, the words that Kounetsu had spoke and Usagi's future too. Seiya's hips were now bucking against Usagi's hand, but just before she felt herself about to peek she pulled back from Usagi. Usagi stared in wonder at her, as did Seiya, she couldn't believe that she could have lost control like that. Seiya couldn't believe that she could have done this to her Odango. Usagi neared her trying to regain what was just lost but Seiya moved away even more. "Gomen…" She said as she held Usagi away by her shoulders.
"Seiya?" Usagi questioned, her eyes searched Seiya's face for any signs of what was wrong. "I don't understand."
"Gomen nasai Odango… I have to go." She said getting rolling further away from the blond. They couldn't be doing this, it was just as bad as Kakyuu and Kounetsu. She wasn't going to live her life being a second, a substitute for Usagi's wife. To love Usagi and give herself to her completely was all she would ever want, but she wanted the same from her in return.
"But why?" Usagi was on her hands and knees on the bed as Seiya stood up and replaced her clothing. "I don't understand… you told me you loved me."
This was one of the hardest things Seiya had to do, to get up and leave her Odango when she was begging her to stay. She walked to the foot of the bed and allowed her eyes to linger on Usagi's form one last time before speaking. "Odango, I do love you, but you're going to be married in a few days."
"Seiya, I don't love her, I love you!" Usagi crawled a bit closer to her. "I love you… Please stay, I'm not married yet."
"I'm not going to be the person that hides in the sidelines waiting for you to have time to offer me." Her voice was amazingly strong compared to how weak she felt in heart and body. "I just can't do it Odango."
"Won't you just stay, just for tonight then? Let us at least be together once before I have to throw my life and my heart away at that alter." The tears made themselves apparent in Usagi's eyes as she pleaded her case before her. "Please?"
Seiya's eyes shifted over Usagi's vulnerable body and then finally rested on the moisture that was now pouring from her eyes. She leaned in and placed a hand on the bed beside Usagi and brought her knee up to the other side of her and wrapped her in all the passion she had once again. Usagi's tenseness faded and a sigh of relief escaped her mouth.
Seiya became aware of the disgruntled look on Usagi's face and stared down at her strangely. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted me to stay."
Usagi sighed again and rolled her eyes. "I do, but now I have to start all over at undressing you!" She said with a smile and came back up to kiss Seiya playfully.
"Oh?" She replied with a grin ten times more devious than usual and began shedding her clothes before her. With every new inch that she exposed, Usagi took the opportunity to explore with her hands and lips.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sight that lay before Kakyuu this glorious morning was pleasure in itself. Kounetsu had told her of Seiya's little visit last night and now that she had awoken and Usagi's door was shut firmly, she knew her suspicions had been true. It was just a matter of time before she was going to have her cake and eat it too. She smiled as herself in delight.
She had her doubts before about whether or not Seiya would accept such an arrangement; she never once thought that Usagi would have a problem with it. Usagi was the type of person who constantly needed love and to know that she was loved. Kakyuu wasn't ready to take on that kind of responsibility especially when she was giving her all to Kounetsu still. She figured that Usagi would have no problem finding some one else to fulfill her needs. Just to make sure and pacify her curiosity she nudged the door open a bit.
There tangled in the sheets of Usagi's bed lay Seiya and Usagi still wrapped together in an embrace. Although Kakyuu had never found the naked body of a woman to be enticing at all, something about this situation turned her on. Seeing her fiancé exhausted and resting peacefully in the arms of her Starlight with nothing between them gave her a great sense of pleasure. "A few more days and all of our anxiety will be gone." She said as she closed the door once again, leaving them to awaken thinking that they were still cloaked in secrecy.
Seiya awoke and noticed the sunlight that was now coming in through the windows. She gained her bearings on her position and situation. She jerked back in shock when she finally realized what had happened. There in her arms was a very vulnerable Usagi snuggling up against her with a smile. She immediately felt shame for her actions and tried to slip away unnoticed. Without a sound she got dressed and collected her things. During this time Usagi had awoken and noticed the commotion but didn't say anything.
So as not to be caught, Seiya climbed gracefully and quietly out Usagi's bedroom window and onto the fire escape. "Oi, what a way to start the day!" She exclaimed exasperated at the fact she to scale an apartment building first thing in the morning.
Usagi pulled the sheets around her a little tighter and up to her chin. She couldn't believe that she had just up and left her this morning. Her dream hadn't come that night, well not the nightmare anyway, but this time it was the pleasant setting of her and Seiya sitting on top of the grassy hill in the sunlight again. The wedding was now the day after tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The morning broke over the landscape as the colors of dawn merged with the colors of day. Yaten woke, earlier than usual for her normal routine, but for some reason she wasn't bent on complaining about it. Opening her eyes she took a look around the room to see everyone else's state. Taiki was asleep across the room with a book hanging from her hand, and Seiya wasn't in her bed. Her sheets hadn't been moved and Yaten knew she never came home last night. Last was Minako, still asleep not too far from her beneath one of the large windows. The newly risen sun sprawled its rays on Minako's sleeping form giving her a warm and inviting look. Yaten wrapped her blanket around her and stepped over to where Minako was laying. She stood above her for a few seconds before finally kneeling down to lay with her. She didn't care whether or not Taiki woke up and saw them, it's not like they were doing anything, she just wanted to lay with her. Was there any harm in that?
Minako stirred when Yaten's body came to rest beside hers and her eyes slowly opened to see who her visitor was. "Yaten?" She asked trying to figure out what was going on.
"Shhh…" Yaten said pointing to Taiki. "I was cold." She lied and snuggled up to Minako's form more.
Minako had to smile. Never in a million years had she ever expected Yaten to be acting this way, and to her nonetheless. Sure she had her suspicions but this was unbelievable. She decided not to ask questions and break the mood. Her arms went around the sliver haired girl's and they lay there comfortably. "You know, Seiya's never going to let you hear the end of this when she wakes up." Minako giggled.
"She never came home last night." Yaten kissed the tip of her nose and gave her a wink.
Minako smiled with her eyes closed, she was still a little groggy from lack of sleep. "I wonder where she is?"
"Does it matter? She's not here, that's a bonus in itself." Yaten grumbled but managed to give Minako another sweet kiss in the process.
"Oh, you're so busted!" Seiya said walking past them with a smile. She walked over and flopped herself onto her futon and put a pillow over her head. Yaten's fist clenched up and her eyes closed in frustration. Seiya's hand waved up over the pillow. "Go ahead with what you were doing, don't mind me!" She said all too casually.
Minako felt the blush on her cheeks as she slinked under the covers a little more. "Where were you last night, ne?" Yaten smirked amused sitting up from her position. So what if she was laying next to Minako, she wasn't the one who stayed out all last night. "You look a little tired… up late last night?" She continued her interrogation.
Seiya winced at the thought of having to tell Yaten where she was last night. "I was cleaning up the trash." She was referring to Kounetsu, that was the real reason she had gone out last night, although it wasn't the thing that kept her out.
"Reeaaallllyyyy…" Yaten said rolling her eyes. Minako too became intrigued with their little adventurer. "So how about you tell us the truth?"
Seiya feigned snoring and felt a pillow hit her body. "Damn you, I'm trying to sleep."
"You're not getting out of this that easily!" Yaten got up and marched over to where she was laying.
"I'm warning you, if you jump on me so help me Kamisama, you're gonna pay!" Seiya's threat was muffled from under the pillow and she took it off at just the right time to see Yaten and Minako coming up on her. "Ahhh!! Damn you people, you can't just double team some one who's trying to sleep!"
"I didn't see that in the rules, did you?" Minako asked sarcastically of Yaten.
"Nope, I didn't see anything like it!" They both came down in an annoying lump on top of Seiya. "You REEK!" Yaten announced pulling away from Seiya with wide eyes. "Where the hell were you last night?"
Seiya looked over at her with a devious smirk and even more mischievous eyes. Minako didn't understand what she was talking about. "What? I don't get it." She whined looking from Yaten to Seiya.
"Who the hell were you with?" Yaten was dead serious, but more in a curious way than threatening.
"I don't kiss and tell." Seiya said shoving Yaten away in the process. All of the sudden Minako caught on and too caught a whiff of the sex that surrounded Seiya.
Minako stood up and began to walk away, but before she got too far she looked back over her shoulder and winked at Seiya. "I'm sure Usagi will appreciate that fact!"
