When Usagi woke up the next morning, she felt something pressed against her, a warm breeze in her ear, and an unfamiliar weight over her chest. Sleepily looking down, she noticed the weight to be an arm. Turning her head slightly, she could see part of Seiya's face, her nose close to Usagi's ear. It took a moment for the fact to register in her brain and she froze in the middle of a sleepy yawn.

"Oh shit!" She hissed, "Oh SHIT!" In an attempt to sit up beneath the weight of Seiya's arm she unbalanced herself and tumbled from the couch located in Seiya's bedroom. Thankfully she found herself as completely clothed as she had been the night before, though having been unable to find her blouse as she was leaving the mansion she was wearing only her pink bra for a top.

Seiya sat up groggily on the couch and rubbed her eyes while watching in amusement as Usagi scrambled around the bedroom in a frantic state. "Nothing happened, Odango-Atama..." Seiya informed her with a laugh.

"Thank God for that!" She exclaimed. She pulled one of Seiya's shirts over her head and pulled the rest of her hair free from beneath the collar. Stumbling over to a rather rumpled looking bed she retrieved her sandals from where she had discarded them the night before.

Turning to the mirror on the vanity she pulled her silvery-blonde hair into a high ponytail. With a muffled gasp her hand flew to a small purple blotch along the side of her neck. The sharp intake of breath helped her put two and two together. "What is this?" She hissed whirling around. "This better not be what I think it is Kou!"

The raven-haired woman rose lithely from couch behind her with a low chuckle and a smirk that Usagi knew was there even without looking. Seiya leaned up to Usagi, pressed against her back and placed her chin the girl's left shoulder, gingerly. Strong, muscular arms wrapped around Usagi's waist in a comforting and provocative way that made the blood rush to Usagi's face. "What's wrong with that?" She whispered huskily in Usagi's ear. With a chuckle she nipped affectionately at the blonde's ear lobe.

A small moan escaped Usagi's lips before she got herself back together. With a harsh force she pulled herself from Seiya's grasp and pushed the woman away at the same time. "Many, many things are wrong with that!" Usagi insisted, almost on the verge of hysteria. "You said nothing happened! You said-"

"Oops." Seiya grinned with mischievous seductiveness. "Besides, nothing like that happened...it was just some innocent, erotic fun..."

"Seiya!" She exclaimed wrapping one of Seiya's multicolored scarves around her neck and effectively concealing Seiya's handiwork. "I'm serious!"

Seiya winked, "So am I."

"I was drunk...and...and feeling alone...and..and you-" She stuttered pointed an accusing finger in Seiya's face.

"Hey!" Seiya shot back angrily, "You're the one who insisted on walking Taiki and I home! You insisted..."

"And so you...you..." Usagi stuttered in anger before throwing her hands up into the air, "Urgh!" She exclaimed, "Sometimes you just-I mean…Urgh! I'm going now." Opening the door she ran smack into Yaten who was exiting her own room at the same time.

"Usagi." Yaten managed after a moment of silence. "You...you spent the night?"

Usagi laughed a bit nervously, tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, and shuffled her feet in a further sign of her discomfort at the sudden and abrupt meeting that was currently taking place. "Of course not!"

Seiya's sharp intake of breath did not pass unnoticed by either Usagi or Yaten. Usagi picked up the thread of conversation a bit to quickly for Yaten, and her heart began to plummet. "No, I just came over to see if you guys had settled in alright..."

"We're fine." Yaten's voice was brisk as she pushed past the slightly affronted blonde and stalked into the kitchen.

"Yaten..."

"You're wearing my shirt."

Silence.

"Well...I-I didn't.....I didn't know-" Yaten stumbled over her words; her face turning redder by the second. Usagi, in her own display of an icy brush off, turned her back on the continuous stuttering of Yaten and talked to a bemused Seiya who was currently standing within the doorframe. "Tell Taiki I said hi." She said quietly, and headed out the door.

"Keep the shirt..."
