************ Shooting stars ************ Chapter five
-------------- Serena sighed and slumped her shoulders, 'Poor Seiya...' she muttered again for the one hundredth time on the day. 'What is he going to do about Michelle...and...And what about me...would he since Michelle is not...'
"WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING SERENA!?" She cried out aloud, rubbing her temples. Sighing she started jogging again but stopped when she spotted a familiar form sitting on the side of the road.
"Seiya..." Serena whispered, tapping the limp form on the shoulder. "Are...are you alright?" she asked again. Seiya stirred, he turned around giving her a sour smile.
Serena felt something in side her aching, his eyes are full of redlines. His handsome face showed tiredness and sadness.
"Gosh Seiya..." She gasped, kneeling down beside him. "You...are you thinking of Michelle? You know...you can ask her to think about it, she might change her mind..." Serena said, totally forgetting the tiny part inside her that wished Michelle went away.
"It's no use, she never changes her mind." Seiya said, his voice is hoarse but sounds somewhat smooth and steady.
After what seemed like eternity, Serena stood up, already made up her mind. How can she still be so self-centered when watching him going through so much pain? She is going to do something, what ever it is, as long as Michelle stays. Even if they will be together, even if her heart is going to ache like this for the rest of her life. She cannot bare the thoughts of HIM going through this.
"I need to go home..." Serena said to Seiya, as much as she wanted to be with him, she couldn't concentrate with him around, she needs somewhere quiet to think, to put these things together.
Seiya barely nodded, 'He didn't move for two hours...' Serena winced, the more feelings Seiya showed for Michelle the more pain she suffers. Shaking away the grieving feeling, she took one last look at him and started finishing her previous exercise.
Half an hour later, she leaned against a tree, gasping for breath after the exercise. She scanned the streets checking where she was and saw a tall beautiful modal like woman walking across the road. Brushing some of her heavy fringe behind her ears, she looked again. The woman had short aqua hair, dressed casually just like everyone else on the streets, but she still stood out, some thing about her is just different from the rest. The air around her seemed refining and noble. Narrowing her eyes, she suddenly realized who it was.
"Michelle!" Serena waved, Michelle turned around, and smiled at Serena.
"I want to talk to you about something..." Serena cried across the street.
"Hi Serena, never thought I'd see you around here!" Michelle smiled.
"Michelle..." Serena started, swallowing the sinking feeling in her throat. "Please don't leave!" She cried. "I know this is non-of my business but I can't bare seeing him been hurt...so much..." she admitted choking on her words.
"Please...for him...don't leave..."Serena couldn't hold back the tears anymore, it rolled down her cheeks touching her pink lips that are quivering slightly.
Michelle's gaze softened, "Serena, I know you've been really nice to us and care about him a lot, for that I am grateful, but no one can change my mind...even him."
Serena sniffled, what ever it takes, she is going to stop her. Biting the bottom of her lips hard she suddenly kneeled down (Notes, kneeling is a severe protocol in Japan, usually, children kneels for their grandparents when they receive gifts)
"I know I look like an idiot to you Michelle, but there is no other ways..." she paused and breathed in deeply. "Please...I can give up everything for him...my dignity, my...my feelings and...and I'll leave him alone so you two can be together..." Serena muttered, tears are now pouring down her cheeks.
---------------
Seiya stood up, it still hurt as much as the second he heard the news, from her very own lips. "Why?" he muttered, looking down to hide a drop of tear from the street of people. Gulping he stood up, moving his soulless body towards where Serena headed. He need a companion right now, some one to talk to.
Walking mindlessly after the jogging Serena, he could not even be bothered to call her. Strolling along after her makes him feel a bit less lonely. Twenty minutes after she picked up speed and he lost sight of her, but managed to catch a glimpse of the two golden ponytails occasionally.
He kept on walking, and suddenly inside a park displayed a scene he never expected to see...
---------------
Michelle's expression turned into total shock when she saw Serena kneeling, "Serena!" she gasped, kneeling down beside her and helped her up, she inhaled deeply. Searching through her mind for those words that has been there for the last few days.
"Serena..." She began, "There are choices in life that can only be selected once, no regrets. I have my own dreams and I don't want to be chained up with emotions at this stage of my life."
Serena nodded, although she thinks differently, she believes in true love, that love is the only aspect that can bring you real happiness, but somehow she can understand her willingness to sacrifice for her dreams.
Pausing a little to gather herself, Serena outstretched her arms, "Well then, I guess I'll wish you luck!" Serena beamed, hugging Michelle and letting the wind dry her wet lashes.
"Thank you Serena..." Michelle grinned, her eyes glued to a frozen Seiya over Serena' s shoulder for seconds before turning away casually. "I need to go, I promised Yaten to introduce the model to him.
Serena nodded, sighing deeply, she watched as the perfect creature walked away. "Everything...she have everything a girl ever wish for, but yet, she gives up all of it to full fill her dreams..." She muttered, still amused by Michelle.
The sight before her made her gasp, a frustrated looking Seiya with his fist clenched and his lips pressed firmly against each other.
"Seiya..." Serena whispered.
"Who told you to interfere with this?" He asked calmly, too calmly for Serena' s opinion.
"I...I thought you were really depressed so..."
"Get out of my face, JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!" Seiya cried pointing ahead of him.
Serena' s lips trembled as she turned away, "I am sorry Seiya, but you should understand that the only reason I interfered with this is because I care for you..." Serena said, barely above a whisper.
"Well, I don't need your pity..."
------------------
"I can't believe that guy! Where in the world is he?" Darien stomped around the airport in frustration, Michelle's plane will be due in a few minutes but there is still no sign of Seiya anywhere.
"I guess I've gotta go now!" Michelle shrugged at the 4L and Serena. Disappointment written all over her face. "Have a nice time while I'm gone, and...say good bye for me to Seiya."
They waved until Michelle disappeared behind the entrance.
"Oh my god, where have you been Seiya!?" Yaten cried, when he spotted Seiya behind a post.
"Here..." He answered simply.
"You are such a...a..." Serena scrambled for words.
"A Idiot?" Seiya answered for her, but his face held a completely different expression. He was smiling.
"How can you smile! Can't you see? Gone! The love of your life is gone! And you just throw your last chance away to that stupid post!" Taiki growled.
Seiya laughed, "I just love seeing you getting pissed off, " he took out something from his pocket. It looked like a...plane ticket?
Yaten was the first to react, "Oh god! THAT'S MY SEIYA!" He cried, giving Seiya a hug, followed by Taiki. Darien stared blankly at the ticket then to Seiya, a wide smile spread across his face.
"I am going onto the next plane!" Seiya said. He turned to Serena, who sobbed in joy, "I'm sorry for what I said to you the other day, all I want to tell you that you are a great friend, I'm really grateful for your 'interfering'". He laughed.
Serena nodded knowingly.
Seiya turned and walked into the entrance. 'Goodbye Seiya...' Serena whispered to herself. ----------------
Walking through the school, 'This place seems to become duller ever since Seiya was gone...he was probably one of the things that kept me going...' Serena though.
"Serena!" She turned around to the voice, a very nervous looking Darien stood stiffly, "Saturday, two thirty! Outside Gladstone hotel!" He said.
"What?" Serena Asked, confused at this sudden conversation, and the very confusing address he just told her, but Darien just walked away.
"Darien!" Serena cried, 'Saturday...two thirty, Gladstone hotel? Is this some kind of date?' She nibbled her bottom lips thoughtfully. 'Nah...as if Darien would...yeah right hahaha.'
----------------
SATURDAY
"Mom...what time is it?" Serena asked, remembering her "date". They were on grocery shopping.
"Four o'clock dear." Ilene answered, examining a watermelon.
"Mm..." Serena looked down, 'He's probably just joking...or maybe some sort of practical joke.' But it wasn't convincing enough, the look on his face told her that it was anything but a joke.
"Mom, can I borrow your umbrella?"
"Sure," Ilene answered.
Serena grabbed the umbrella and ran out of the supermarket.
When she got off the bus to Gladstone hotel, the rain that has poured down previously has stopped. 'Darien...' was all she could think of, searching around the busy street, the misty weather made it an impossible mission.
"Oh...god..." seconds ticked by and Serena can still find no sight of him. "Where the hell are you Darien-baka!" Serena screamed through the crowed, and there, right in front of her she saw a very soak Darien, sitting on a bench staring back at her intensely.
"Darien..." Serena whispered.
He stood up, his expression changed from anger to relief. "Oh...god...you are OK!" He said and hugged her. Serena stiffed the water from his shirt soaked into hers. "Where have you been!? Did you know that I was worried to death about you!?"
"I didn't know if I should come..." Serena whispered in a tiny voice, fully ashamed of herself.
"How can you do this to me?" He demanded angrily. "I sat on that stupid bench for TWO hours waiting for you not to mention the pouring rain, so you can be unsure of to come or not!?"
Serena licked her lips, she tilted her head up to meet his eyes. "You could have bought an umbrella...or...gone home or something...I never asked you to sit here..." She answered, and right at that moment, she saw pain filled his eyes. Guilt overwhelmed her, she felt as if she hurt him deep, but how? How could she hold such power over him?
"So that's all you thought of me?" he stated quietly, "That's all you think of me, while I am...I am here, considering you as the only girl I've cared for on the surface of this planet?"
Serena' s heartbeat increased, I am the only girl he cared for?
"I sat here the entire afternoon, " he started hoarsely, "Waiting for you to appear...even if you just come and left without talking to me or something. I was worried that maybe there was a car accident and you were involved! I couldn't even go and buy a god damn umbrella because if I moved, you wouldn't be able to find me, and I didn't want you to get soaked." His eyes were dark, drops of wetness covered his eyelashes. Somehow, they don't seem to be caused by the rain.
"Guess I wasted my entire afternoon..." he said, swallowing and turning to go.
"Darien?" Serena whispered, placing a hand around his wrist.
He turned around just in time to capture her lips, his eyes widened, they were the sweetest feeling he has ever experienced. He wrapped his arms around her waist, savoring the wine sweet taste of her kiss. Slowly he felt a pair of hands making it's way up his chest, around his neck and slowly messing the back of his hair.
He deepened the kiss, which made Serena make a soft moan. Finally they had to part for breath.
"Serena...I..." Darien hesitated.
"Yes?"
"I am sorry for all the mean things I've ever done to you...but I promise I'll make up for it...because I...I think I'm in love with you." He stared into her eyes, waiting for an answer.
"Well Darien..." Serena inhaled deeply, measuring her words. "I can't say that I love you back...because I...I need to know you better before I can make such statements, but I have a feeling that soon or later I will say the three words confidently..."
Darien grinned "That's fine with me...for now Sere..." Once again he leaned down and kissed her fully on the lips.
THE END
