A Romantic Tragety

Disclaimers: NOT MINE! NOT MINE! NOT MINE! NOT MINE!

Author's Notes: Well, here's the second chapter. Sorry this took so long, but I had a major case of writer's block, so I had to start over on chapter 2. Sorry again. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, I can't believe anybody is reading this story, it's so corny. I'm touched. Now, on with the story. Oh, and I have just realized that there is going to be Mamoru bashing in this fic from now on. So I apologize for any inconvenience.

Oh, and yes, this is going to be Usagi and Seiya pairing. If anybody want Yaten to pair up with Minako or Taiki with Ami, then please tell me.


Chapter 2 - So We Meet Again


"Well, maybe it wasn't just you..." Monotone voices drowned on and on, at least to
her.

She smiled politely, signaling the man across the room of her impending fate.

"Excuse me, but I'll have to cut in. We'll be back in a second." With a courteous
nod he whisked her away.

"Thank you a million!" She sighed in relief.

"You didn't have to come here you know. It was your choice." He frowned teasingly.

"Are you mocking me?" She asked with a dangerous edge in her voice.

"Am I mocking you? Why don't you tell me?" He said.

"I don't know why I'm even talking to you." She muttered to herself, just a loud
enough for him to hear too.

"Well, which side of the bed did you wake up on?" He sneered back.

"The right side." She retorted. "Excuse me, I'm needed at that table." She said
cooly and walked off to the table where her

friends were sitting. 'She's not actually mad is she?' He thought worriedly to
himself. But he had no time to worry.

"Seiya!!!!!!!!" Yaten's voice hollared above all.

"Could you be any louder? I'm sure they haven't heard your BEAUTIFUL (notice the
sarcasm if your ego and thick head

couldn't comprehend it) voice in Siberia." Seiya muttered, and yes you guessed it,
sarcastically.

"Grouch!" Was the only reply that he received.

"Yaten, Seiya, behave yourselves." Mrs. Kou scolded.

"Oh, but mother, they're behaving themselves. Infact I've never seen them more
behaved." Seiya stared in amazement at the

direction which the voice came from.

"Kakyuu! When did you get here? How come none of you told me? This is majorly not
fair!"

"Hey, if you don't shut up soon, YOUR beautiful voice will reach Siberia before
mine." Snickered Yaten.

"Oh, shut up!" Seiya replied really fed up by his brother's lame jokes.

"Well, look who's talking." Yaten said, feeling very insulted.

"Oh, you guys haven't changed a bit." Kakyuu laughed, her lovely red eyes shining
with mirth.

"Hmph." Was all Yaten said, as Seiya smiled adoringly at his sister.

"So, where'd Taiki go?" Yaten asked.

"With his new girlfriend I think, they're over at...that table right there." Their
mother replied, searching through the

crowd for her other son.

"Come on, let's go say hello." Kakyuu said enthusiastically, clapping her hands
together softly. An action that had become

a habit since she was a child. The trio made their way through the enormous dance
floor filled with couples, a slow song

was on. (AN: To those who are wandering: give me a break! It's not a bar or club!)

"Hey Kakyuu, wanna dance with me later?" Yaten offered.

"Since when did you dance Yaten?" Kakyuu teased him.

"I don't know. I guess I just did, one day, completely out of the blue." Yaten

replied nonchtantly.

"Ah. I see." Kakyuu nodded.

"Well, actually, he learned it when he met this new girl. What was her name? Aino

Minako I think. She's one of Usa's

friends. Usa told him that Minako-san really liked to dance and so he learned. But
as it turned out, Minako-san already had

a boyfriend. But she broke up with him about two months ago so Yaten is hoping that

he still have a chance." Seiya smirked,

seeing the blush that was creeping up his brother's face.

"Shut up!" Yaten hissed, already embarassed beyond belief.

Kakyuu, trying to supress her giggles, said "Well, I guess everyone has to have
their fall sometime." Meanwhile Yaten


fumed, seeing that his sister and brother had teamed up against him.

"Well, here we are, and there Taiki is. Oi! Taiki! Over here!" Seiya called out

trying to catch Taiki's attention.

"Oh, hi. Nice to see you again Kakyuu." Taiki said, without much enthusiasm. Even

if Kakyuu was dense, which she isn't, she could've heard the aloof and coldness

behind Taiki's polite demeanor. It hurt her a lot that one of her brothers, her own

flesh and blood, would treat her that way. Taiki and Kakyuu had never been the best

of siblings, but they didn't fight, they'd be mad if someone hurt the other, but

there wasn't really a bond between them like Seiya and Kakyuu.

"You too, Taiki." Kakyuu replied with the same iciness. If he was going to treat

her that way, she wasn't going to stand for it either. Taiki took no notice though,

still wrapped up in the blue-haired, blue-eyed beauty beside him. That was

Mizuno Ami, having come back from Harvard for her summer vacation, and was

currently engaged in a heated conflict over a Shakespearean play that they'd just

saw this afternoon with her new-found

boyfriend: Taiki Kou.

"I'd like you all to meet Ami Mizuno, doctor in training...at Harvard." Taiki said,

and smugly added the last part. For as long as anyone could remember, Taiki only

dated girls with lots of brains, but a little beauty too. (AN: No, it doesn't mean

that the girls that he dates are ugly, but that he's very shallow 'cause he only

dates girls with brains and beauty. Sorry if that offends any Taiki-lovers.)

"Ami, I'd like you to meet Seiya, the oldest brother, Yaten the youngest brother,

and Kakyuu, our sister." Taiki introduced them formally. Ami shook hands with

Kakyuu, she had met Yaten and Seiya, along with

Taiki when they were younger and when Usa was still there. (AN: If you're confused,

when Usagi was still in the same school as them.)

"Wonderful party don't you think?" Ami asked, somewhat awkwardly, trying to make

small talk and instantly forgetting her arguement with Taiki just seconds ago.

"Yes it is." Kakyuu agreed half-heartedly, she was already somewhat wary of this

Ami, she knew that it wasn't fair but she just couldn't help it. That smug

expression on Taiki's face when he said 'Harvard' didn't help any either. Kakyuu

never had a what you would call 'higher education', but she wasn't stupid, she just

married when she was very young.

****************************************************************

Seiya's POV

I could feel the thick tension between Kakyuu and Taiki, I sometimes wonder what had

really happened to make them go at each other's throats so constantly. But of course, like

always, I have other things to worry about.

I could see Usagi by the punch table, with all of her friends, flirting with a dark-haired

man. Well actually, I don't know that, I just assumed that she was flirting because it was

the most proabable reason that she was staring into the eyes of that man, and dreamily too.

Is he...is he...I squinted my eyes to look better. That's Chiba Mamoru! A sudden dread

overcomes me so I excuse myself from the others so I could get to Usagi.

"Um, yes. I think." Her giggle had a nervous edge to it, just so proves that she was too

busy checking him out to listen. Lips pursed, eyes narrowed, I boldly walked up to them not

realizing how silly I looked.

"Excuse me!" I raved, in the loudest voice I could only to find a whole roomful of people

staring at me expectingly. Well, apparently I had been too loud. Great. I groaned inwardly.

I looked to Usagi for help, she shrugged. She SHRUGGED! Now what am I supposed to do? I
could see Kaiouh-san's newly engaged fiancee biting his lips trying not to laugh out loud at

my situation. That just reminded of another thing, that Chiba Mamoru was still watching. I

will not humiliate myself in front of him, if I haven't already.

"Um, I'd like to propose a toast...err, yeah a toast..." I trailed off from my awkward

speech trying to find a subject. All I could see was Usagi, then a lightbulb flashed in my

head. She's going to kill me for this, but at the moment I really didn't care.

"I'd like to propose a toast to my fiancee," I paused hearing the deadly silence in the room

and Usa and her friends' shocked faces. That Chiba was looking at me amusedly, an eyebrow

raised.

"Tsukino Usagi!" I said in my loudest voice, taking Usa's small hands in mine, she was
proabably too shocked to say anything. Suddenly though, *SMACK* she slapped me! In that room

full of people too, I could see her running away from the room. Too shocked to do anything,

I stared...

How's Seiya gonna get him out of this one? Stay tuned, for Chapter 3!

Sorry for taking such a long time on updating, but I just don't feel inspired by Sailor Moon anymore, I don't even know what to write anymore. I know that this isn't exactly the greatest story, but if you want to keep reading then just bare with me please?
