Behind The Music ~ Three Lights
Chapter 3
As the credits rolled up the screen the girls sat with wide eyes. "We have to see them." Makoto muttered with a blank expression.
Rei and Ami nodded in agreement. "We're calling them - making them get their asses back here - and we're not taking no for an answer!" Minako gave the very obvious solution to their dilemma.
"Guys, guys!" Usagi called out. She had been quiet up until now but this was all going too far. "We can't just call them up and expect them to drop what they're doing to come and see us!"
"Usagi's right." Ami huffed.
"But that doesn't mean that we can't just go crash their planet!" Minako cheered, as she stood up she hiked up her pajama pants that were threatening to slip off her hips.
"And are you going to sport your pajamas there?" Makoto asked while grinning and pointing to Minako's ensemble.
"If we can leave now, hell yeah! I'll go naked if I have to!"
Ami actually burst out in a fit of giggles. "Yeah, I'm sure Yaten would change his mind about you then!" She continued to laugh.
"You guys are pathetic, you know that?" Rei huffed taking the remainder of popcorn into her hands. "Oh look at me, I'm Minako." She started making odd hand gestures and trying to sound blond and ditzy. "I'm going to transport my senshi of love booty half way across the universe in hopes of making a gender shifting alien fall in love with me. But, uh, like the best part is, I'll just have to come home and leave him anyway!"
Minako's face had started to darken in color as the red flushed in her cheeks and tiny veins in her eyes began to bulge. It didn't help that Makoto was dying laughing on the floor throughout the whole spiel. "Rei." Minako clenched her fist. "If you know what's good for you, you'll shut your big cake hole NOW!" She growled.
"But she's right Minako. Do you really expect to go to Kinmoku and have Yaten fall madly in love with you?" Ami questioned, hoping that some sense was getting into the blonde's head.
"Yeah, why not?" Minako asked stunned, momentarily forgetting her quarrel with Rei.
The rest of the senshi face faulted. No one really noticed that Usagi was off by herself, and for once not taking a great opportunity to join in on ripping on some one that wasn't herself.
"You really are blond, you know that?" Makoto shook her head, catching her breath from laughing too hard.
"Yaten doesn't like you, Yaten will never like you, Yaten is just a figment of your dreams!" Rei scolded her trying to beat it into her.
"And why couldn't Yaten ever like me? Who the hell thought Ami could be part of a porn star duo? No one, but it happened, ne?" Minako stood growing serious, this was Yaten they were talking about, she wasn't giving up all hope of catching him.
Ami just sat with a dark crimson blush in her cheeks. "Minako. they weren't saying it like that. they were saying that you two live on two totally different planets. it would never work out."
Minako finally caught on to what they were trying to tell her but so did Usagi. "That doesn't mean that we can't visit them though." Usagi offered up. "We just have to keep Minako's hands off of Yaten's butt and all will be ok, ne?"
The other's nodded while Minako muttered to herself. ".I'm going to go there. blow up their planet. kidnap Yaten. keep him in my closet."
"Uh. Minako?" Makoto waved her hand in front of her face, she had looked as though she was zoning out.

"TAIKI!!!" A truly pissed off voice rang out through the palace, shaking the walls and foundation.
Taiki, Yaten and Seiya were sitting around relaxing and enjoying their afternoon off. The irate screams of their princess broke any chance of their relaxation. "What the hell did you do now?" Yaten asked folding his arms and sighing.
Seiya just grinned and adjusted his sunglasses. "At least it wasn't me for once!"
"SEIYA!!" The voice came again echoing down the hallway, causing Seiya to sweat drop.
"Guess I spoke too soon." He mumbled to himself as he sat up a little straighter.
"I can't believe you two! This was supposed to be our day off and your goofing around screwed it up!!" Yaten was annoyed, very annoyed. True they had days off frequently but not usually together.
The Princess finally made her way to the patio where she found the Three Lights sitting soaking up the afternoon sun. In a hard, swift motion, her foot kicked the door open as she stormed through it. "YATEN!!"
All three stood up to greet their princess reluctantly, truly afraid of her current state. "Princess. are you alright?" Taiki questioned a little nervously.
Kakyuu marched right up to her tallest senshi and looked him square in the eyes before grabbing him by the collar. "A stripper?!" She questioned with a fire in her eyes. "You go to another planet and you become a STRIPPER?!"
Taiki gulped hard, he had kept his little secret from Kakyuu so far, it was beyond him how she found out. In a flash of instincts he turned to Yaten. "Did you rat me out?!" The accusation hung in the air, if anyone was going to sell him out to save his own ass, it would be Yaten.
"NO!" Yaten stated flatly.
"And you!" Kakyuu released Taiki and headed for Yaten. "Drugs AND stripping?!" Yaten was only a little taller than Kakyuu so he felt her wrath a bit more than Taiki had.
"P-princess. I can explain. you see it's like." Yaten stumbled on his words until Kakyuu finally released him and headed for the last Light.
Seiya had been slowly inching away from the whole scene, but Kakyuu had spotted him tip toeing away. "Don't think you're getting out of this one! I can't believe you of all people would be a drinker!" She shouted causing Seiya's head to hang low.
"Princess you don't understand!" Taiki pleaded drawing her attention back towards him.
"Yeah, it had been so long and we missed you so much." Yaten continued.
"We had to do something to make the pain go away, even if it was temporary." Seiya finished and knelt down before her taking her hand into his. Before his lips planted themselves on her delicate skin he noticed the piece of paper in her hand. "What's this?" He said trying to tug on it.
Kakyuu quickly jerked her hand back, taking the paper with it. "I don't know if I should even tell you guys now!" She was still furious to say the least. Sighing she tried to calm herself down. "We are having company."
"Who?" Yaten asked skeptically while the other two listened intently.
"The planetary senshi have written me telling me of their visit. due to their concern." Kakyuu continued to eye them evilly.
"Concern what concern?" Taiki questioned not seeing any immediate threat.
"Yeah, we're tougher than them, I'd kick any youma's butt that tried to step up to you!" Yaten butted in making some odd karate poses to go along with his statement.
Kakyuu rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. "It seems that your private lives while you were on Earth had been revealed to the public in some sort of television special. Naturally the senshi became concerned."
"And so here we are!" Minako cheered from behind Kakyuu.
The Three Lights looked like they had just seen a ghost. Their mouths were agape and their bodies motionless. There, before them, stood the inner senshi and moon. Makoto leaned over to Rei to hush her comment. "Looks like Yaten's still sniffing glue!"
Rei laughed and tried to hold it in to be polite but to no avail. Soon the giggles sputtered out uncontrollably and Makoto was forced to join in.
"Oi!" Yaten rolled his eyes having been brought back to reality.
"I'll show you guys to your rooms." Kakyuu said before anything else could be said between the two groups.
"Princess, we'll show them where they are." Taiki offered up but received an icy stare.
"NO, you three will stay here and wait for me to return so I can deal with you in private!" She commanded and the three young men slunk back to their former positions.
Once Kakyuu and the other senshi were out of the room the Three Lights sighed in relief. "So now we know who ratted us out!" Yaten shook his head leaning back in the chair.
"What are you going to do about. you know who?" Taiki asked quietly while looking in Seiya's direction.
Yaten's attention also perked up as his head came up to stare at Seiya. "Yeah, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing." Seiya shrugged, pissed that he was even being confronted with this question. "What would you expect me to do?"
"Hmm let's see." Yaten struck a pose, he doubted he could put any more sarcasm in his words. "You've been seeing a woman exclusively for a long time and all of the sudden the girl that you thought you couldn't live without has shown back up in your life. And you're oblivious to why we're a little curious?!" Yaten rolled his eyes.
"He's right you know." Taiki added in.
"You guys worry too much. The situation between Odango and I is exactly the same as before. I'm sure she still thinks of me as a friend, has no idea of my 'former' feelings for her, and she's probably still latched onto her 'Mamo-chan'." Seiya stood up and walked over to the door.
"I wouldn't call her Odango any more if I were you. that is unless you're sick and like punishment from your girlfriend." Yaten snickered and watched as Seiya stopped in his tracks.
"I thought the Princess told us to stay here and wait for her?" Taiki said amused that they had gotten Seiya worked up.
"I'm going to see Sazuki before she finds out about all of this from some one else." Seiya said before walking out the door and slamming it liberally behind him.
"'Former' feelings my ass!" Yaten commented once the dark haired young man was gone. "Does he really think he's fooling anyone?"
"Ah, let him live his little daydream." Taiki waved him off. "All I know is that there is an old 'friend' here that I need to 'catch up' with." He smiled a big hentai grin that almost scared Yaten.
^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^
"I'm sorry that you guys had to walk in the middle of that." Kakyuu shook her head.
"No, no, it's nice to see Yaten getting yelled at. in my case it was always the other way around!" Minako laughed as they walked with Kakyuu.
"So how has everything been?" Usagi asked, she was walking right next to Kakyuu while the others dropped behind.
Kakyuu's face softened and a smile appeared. "Everything has been surprisingly wonderful. well that is if you exclude their bickering."
"They don't do what they did on Earth here?" Usagi asked hoping the answer was no, though she caught sight of Minako behind her hoping to god that Yaten still streaked.
Kakyuu shook her head. "No, they do nothing of the sort. Taiki's been working hard with structuring a new form of education system and writing a novel he won't let anyone else read." They headed around a turn in the hallways. "Yaten has been painting a lot and Seiya."
Usagi flying into Kakyuu, cut her statement short. Usagi rubbed her bottom and looked up to see just what had caused her sudden crash. A girl, who appeared to be about her age, was lying on top of her rubbing her head. "Gomen." She muttered and Makoto and Ami helped her up.
"Sazuki!" Kakyuu said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for Seiya, the guard told me that you guys had company, so I figured he'd be down here in the guest wing." As the girl finished fixing her hair she looked at Usagi. "You look kinda familiar. have we met?"
Kakyuu and Usagi were on their feet by now and brushing themselves off. Usagi shook her head. "I'm Tsukino Usagi, nice to meet you." She introduced herself.
Sazuki smiled and extended her hand also. "I'm Hoshi Sazuki, the pleasure is all mine, I'm sure." Sazuki looked to Kakyuu and noticed the nervous twitch in her eye. "Are you alright?"
"Fine, just fine!" Kakyuu answered a little nervously and drew the attention of the planetary senshi around her. "What? I said I was fine?!"
"Oh my stars!" They heard a curse from behind them only to turn around and see no one. Seiya hid himself behind a pillar and hoped to god he could remain hidden and unnoticed. You're girlfriend and the girl of your dreams meeting one another having no idea who the other one was wasn't exactly his idea of a good time.
