Seiya knocked on the apartment door, then entered immediately. Mamoru sat on the couch with a raven haired woman next to him.
"Tsukino-san!" he gasped. Ikuko looked up, tears running freely down her cheeks. She stood up.
"Kou-san… My little rabbit… I came to you for anything that could help find her…" Ikuko sobbed coming toward him.
Seiya shook his head slowly. "Iie… Tsukino-san… I'm so sorry."
"No… It's just… they're going to pronounce her dead… if we don't find her or any real evidence soon."
"I'm so sorry, Tsukino-san… You know that I only want Usagi back… I miss her…" Tears began to flow freely down his own face. Usagi? Dead? Surely he would have felt it by now! He knew she was alive… He knew it!
"I know… I know… Arigato, Kou-san…" Ikuko said, going to the door.
"If there's anything I can do… please don't hesitate to ask," Seiya said softly, wiping the tears away with the back of his hand.
"The same goes for me, Tsukino-sama," Mamoru spoke up quickly. Seiya shot an evil glance back at him.
"Thank you, Boys… I'll try everything to get her back… It'll be okay… Sayonara," She bowed softly before leaving.
Seiya whipped around to stare angrily at Mamoru, "What is the deal with you and Usagi now?" He growled.
"I LOVE HER!" Mamoru yelled, "I Love her, Seiya! Why are you so damn protective over her."
"SHE'S MY SOUL MATE!" Seiya yelled back, "You don't even KNOW what our love is like! Nor will you ever!"
"I LOVE HER!"
"Stop it you two!" Luna growled from the couch. "Why are you fighting like this! Usagi will choose whoever she wants. It may be Mamoru, it may be Seiya, it could be anyone else!"
"But I'm her soul mate!" Seiya yelled, "The only reason we were reborn again was so I could find her and be with her… Luna, she has my soul!"
Luna sighed and looked up at him, "Seiya… maybe it wasn't meant to be…"
Seiya's face went white, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Maybe Usagi wants someone else?"
Seiya growled, "Forget it! I hate you! Both of you!" he turned to leave, but a new voice called out for him.
"Seiya?" it whispered from across the living room. Seiya turned quickly to face a young woman. It had been the woman on the street before.
"Who are you?" He choked out. Her violet eyes bore into him like a strange fire.
"I am… Hino Rei… Sailor Mars…" A deep blush quickly covered her cheeks. Everyone in the room stared strangely at her. This was the exact opposite of how she had been acting before. Now she was humble and careful of her words. This was a complete about-face.
His eyebrows knitted together, "I saw you today… on the street…" He looked at her forehead, where the symbol of mars lay, in a fading red color. He could tell that she had just received her powers of being a sailor senshi.
"Hai…" She blushed, avoiding his eyes.
"You spoke to me… through… telepathy…"
"Hai…"
He approached her, "Mars…" He whispered. Rei blushed even more and took a step back and gasped.
"I must go!" She cried, running around him and out the door.
"Nani? Rei-san! Matte!" He chased after her quickly. She was in the hall.
"Gomen, Seiya-san… I didn't mean to run… I just suddenly remembered something I have to do…" She whispered. Seiya approached her.
"Why are you afraid of me, Rei-san?" Seiya questioned.
"I… I'm not… I just…"
"Then why are you trembling?" Seiya questioned. He didn't mean to worry her.
"I'm not!" She took her trembling hands, and held them behind her back. "I really must go!" She raced to the elevator and quickly escaped his gaze.
"My… she's odd…" He said, rubbing his head. Shrugging he walked away and into his and Taiki's apartment.
Rei touched her heart softly, trying to calm its rapid beating, 'Seiya…'
Seiya looked out at the city below him. It was getting late, and the sun was setting below him.
"Usagi…" He whispered, leaning against the railing of his balcony. "Gods Usagi… all I want is for you to be back here… in my arms again…" He ran his hand through his hair.
"I know I'm possessive of you… but damnit, Usagi! I can't help but being in love with you… I wish I could tell you I love you again. But… would you run away again? Would this whole process start over again?" There was a long pause, it was almost as if Seiya expected an answer from the stars.
"Do you love Mamoru, Usagi? Like the way I love you? Please, Usagi… all I want is for you to b mine… and I want to be yours… for eternity… for always…"
He leaned forward and stared at the people below him, he let a few tears fall before he regained his normal composure. Why did Usagi cause all these emotions on him? Why was she the only one who could make him feel this way?
"Usagi…"
Michiru smiled at her student as she played the piece of music perfectly. She was the most adorable little girl with round cheeks, deep purple eyes and short black hair.
"Hotaru-chan, that was wonderful!" She patted Hotaru on the head softly. Hotaru grinned up at her instructor.
"Domo-arigato, Michiru-sensei," She chimed, in her high-pitched voice. She began to pack up her violin as there came a knock at the door. Michiru grinned malevolently and went to open it.
"Seiya!" She smiled happily at him, "I see you have shown up!"
"You're a blackmailing, cheat!" He glowered at her, crossing his arms over his chest. The little girl looked up from her music at him and her sensei.
"I know," Michiru smiled, then turned to her student, "It was a good lesson, Hotaru-chan. I'll see you next week, alright?"
"Hai! Arigato, sensei!" She said calmly, then walked out of the apartment.
"Now, Seiya…" Michiru had said when Hotaru left the apartment. "Take off your clothes."
Seiya's face went stark white, "NANI!?" He gasped, "NO WAY! THIS WAS NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION!"
"Oh, now come on, Seiya! It's nothing I haven't seen before! Besides I have to do a nude painting for my art class!" She smiled innocently.
"NO WAY! There is no way I am going to pose nude!" He gasped, "And how does Haruka feel about this!?"
"Just fine," Haruka shrugged, laughing. She leaned against the door frame in the right wall and grinned at him.
"Come on… Seiya… please? No one you know will be looking at you…"
"NO!"
Michiru sighed, shaking her head, "Alright… I didn't want to do this… Haruka, close the curtains…"
Haruka grinned at Seiya and went around the living room and closed the curtains, then she turned on every light in the living room.
"Haruka… hold him!" Haruka grabbed him before he could react and Michiru proceeded to strip him of his clothes.
"Michiru! NO! NO! AH! MURDER!" Seiya yelled. Before he knew it, he was stark naked in the middle of Michiru's living room. She grabbed his clothed and handed them to Haruka.
"Lock these up, Haruka," She giggled. Haruka was laughing deeply at her friend as she took the clothes.
"See, Seiya? You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!" Michiru gestured toward him. "In fact…" She giggled, "I'd be proud if I were you…"
Seiya glared at her, "Thanks for the encouragement, Michiru…" he said sardonically. She smiled malevolently at him, once again.
"You can remove your hand any time now."
"I'd prefer not," he said.
Michiru shrugged as she went to get her paints, easel, and canvas from the closet. "Alright… then I can… how shall me say… make you appear less manly?"
"ACK! NANI!?" He gasped.
"Don't think I won't…" Michiru said sternly, while getting her brushes out.
Seiya closed his eyes and removed his hand from its shielding position. Haruka chose this moment to walk in. She immediately burst out laughing at had to leave.
"Yeah, well I'd like you to stand here and try this!" Seiya yelled after her.
"I have… but it's different for me, because… well… ya know," Haruka winked and walked off.
"It's okay, Seiya. We're all professionals here…" Michiru said, sketching his frame on the canvas.
"Michiru… you aren't…?" He questioned.
"If you keep your hand away from your penis, I won't…" she said calmly, while continuing to sketch. Haruka came out and all was paused for a moment as a drop cloth was laid down.
So! There he was! In the middle of his best friend's living room! Nude! Well, this was just going to be an interesting day… wasn't it? He stood there calmly as Michiru continued to sketch on her canvas, and as Haruka stood there and laughed furiously at his position.
Seiya just glowered.
Rei knocked on the door to Mamoru's apartment calmly. She begged Seiya wasn't in there… He'd been doing the worst to her nervous system. There was something about him… something that made her heart beat furiously in her chest.
"Rei-san!" Mamoru said, opening the door. She bowed to him.
"Mamoru-san, I'm looking for Setsuna-san, do you know where she is?" she questioned.
"Actually, Rei-san, we're going to go up to the mountains for a practice session today… but, we need to get Haruka-san and Seiya-san before we leave," Mamoru said. "You're coming with us right?"
Rei nodded, "Hai… is there something I can do?"
"Yeah," Mamoru said, "Seiya's over at Haruka's place right now, could you go and get them?"
She nodded, "H-hai… ja ne…" She said. She'd been to Haruka's apartment once, and knew the place pretty well.
She wondered why Seiya was over there… were him and Haruka … romantically involved? Why did this bother so much!? Seiya was nothing more then a colleague to her! He meant nothing! Nothing at all!
'But…' Her mind flashed back to a few days before. She had been over at Taiki's apartment, when he had walked in. He smiled gently at her.
"Hey, Rei-san," he said, "How are you?"
"I…. I'm well. And you?" She forced out, trying to calm the rapid beating in her chest. Her mouth was suddenly dry as she looked up into his sparkling indigo eyes.
"I'm good…" He smiled at her again. "Enjoying being a Sailor Senshi yet?"
"I guess…" She blushed and looked away.
"Don't worry. You'll be able to attack some unsuspecting youma with your attacks soon enough," He winked at her. "And then we'll be one step closer to finding the moon princess, eh?"
"Yeah…" She blushed, looking up into his smiling face again. He placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her again, before saying his good byes and walking into his room.
Rei quickly pulled herself out of her reverie as she came upon a white-washed building. There, in number 208B sat Seiya… and Haruka. She wondered what was going on… with the two of them. Well, no matter, she had to get them anyway.
She climbed up the weather-beaten steps and onto the landing, where she walked across it and knocked on number 208B. No one came as she waited patiently, a blush quickly passing over her cheeks. What was going on in there?
She knocked again and waited a little more. This time, she heard joyous laughter in response. She reached for the handle on the door and turned it slowly, to find it was unlocked. She turned it a little more and opened the door.
Her eyes swept the living room covered in old sheets. But the sheets weren't what grabbed her attention first. It happened to be something she was never supposed to see.
"Oh my!" She gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. Seiya sat there… in the middle of the room… completely NUDE! She took a step back, gasping for breath, unable to tear her eyes away from Seiya.
"WHAT!? REI-SAN?" Seiya bellowed, futilely trying to cover himself in the presence of young, virgin eyes. To say the least… it was a little hard, with some one of his… magnitude. (AN: You know Rei just seems to have this trouble with men. Ya know… walking in on them nude. But, unlike Mamoru, Seiya's actually got something to show! ^.~ Anyway… back to the story now…)
Michiru quickly jumped forward and slammed the door. It was no use… Rei had seen what Seiya was hiding beneath his clothes, and there was no way to burn that image from her memory.
"Oh my gods, Seiya! I'm so sorry!" Michiru apologized as Haruka went to retrieve his clothes.
"Damn it!" He said, as he quickly dressed himself, "I will never be able to look at her again! That … view… was supposed to saved for someone else!" Seiya hissed. He grabbed his ponytail holder from Michiru and quickly re-did his hair.
"Are you mad at me?" Michiru questioned.
Seiya looked at her and sighed, "No… I'm madder at her for not waiting until someone answer the door. Haruka, will you see what she wants?"
Haruka nodded and walked out to where Rei sat, frozen stiff in surprise. Michiru blushed.
"I'm sorry, Seiya… do you forgive me?" She questioned, "You don't have to come back, if you don't want."
Seiya walked around to view her canvas. He smiled. "What are you kidding me? And leave this masterpiece unfinished?" He chided. Michiru grinned.
"Ahhh… and the torture begins again. Same time next week?" She questioned. Seiya nodded.
"Alright, same time next week. But after this picture is done, you must promise me never to ask a favor of me again! Deal?"
Michiru smiled and shook her sea-green hair, "Alright."
Suddenly Haruka's head popped in the apartment, "Hey, Seiya. Mamoru need us for something today." She gave 'the look' and Seiya knew what she meant.
"Yeah, I thought he said something to me about it. I'll be right out, Haruka," He smiled once more at Michiru. "I guess I'll be seeing both of you next week, eh?"
"Hai! See ya later, Seiya-san!" She waved as he walked out of the apartment. Then she burst into a fit of giggles. That little black-haired chick was now in for the ride of her life. Ahhh… the world was a funny place.
Seiya looked over at Taiki as Haruka drove them to the mountains. Rei, Mamoru, and Yaten were in Mamoru's car, and Setsuna was resting back at Mamoru's apartment.
"So tell me why Rei-san wouldn't talk to you?" Taiki questioned. Haruka suddenly chortled as Taiki brought the subject up.
Seiya blushed, "She uh… saw something she wasn't supposed too…" He rubbed the back of his neck furiously. This grabbed Taiki's attention immediately.
"Like…?"
"Like something that you have and I don't," Haruka laughed from the from seat.
"Oh, shut up, Haruka…" Seiya said, "I've probably traumatized her."
Taiki raised his eyebrows, "She saw your… penis? Wanna tell me how this came about? Or should I not ask?"
"I was posing nude for Michiru because she's a sly fox…" Seiya growled for a moment, "And then she just walked in! I was forced into the whole thing! It's not as if I walked up to Rei and asked her if she wanted to see my penis! Trust me. My body is saved for one person."
Taiki laughed, "You mean after the numerous girlfriends you've had?"
Haruka laughed, "Yeah, the chick-magnet sitting back there!"
Seiya crossed his arms over his chest, "Okay, okay… I get your point. But you know I love Usagi! I always will…"
"And those women?" Taiki questioned.
"I don't know…" Seiya blushed and looked away, "Infatuation I guess."
"You're lucky I never told Luna about them… or it would have been your butt," Taiki spoke.
"I know, I know… I owe you one on that part," Seiya said, laughing.
"Seiya… you're gonna get in trouble one day. Especially with Luna," Haruka said, from the front seat.
"I love Usagi!" Seiya said defensively.
"Yeah, Yeah… whatever…" Haruka laughed, turning off the highway.
Rei was quiet during the ride there. She couldn't burn the memory of a nude Seiya out of her mind. She knew it wasn't right to be dwelling over him, but… he had something worth dwelling over.
'Stop it!' She scolded herself, 'You shouldn't think about stuff like that. You have a much more important mission on your hands!'
'But he's so… worth it,' Another part of her mind countered. After all… she was a young woman… why couldn't she fantasize of being with Seiya?
'Because THAT'S NOT WHAT'S IMPORTANT!!!' She yelled in her mind, trying to focus. Oh… this training session was going to be long…
"Fighter," Healer directed, "Move to your right, just a little… Okay! Now… go!"
"STAR SERIOUS LASER!" Fighter yelled, attacking a tree, and doing a back flip to get out of the way of debris.
"Yes! Star Dusted," Fighter did a little dance as Healer rolled her eyes.
"Fighter… it was a tree. Come ON!" She threw her hands into the air.
BONK!
A stick landed smack dab in the middle of Healer's forehead.
"Shut up," Fighter snipped, walking off with her head held high.
"Oh you're gonna get it!" Healer bent down and scooped up a ball of dirt to throw it at her.
Maker roller her eyes, as she turned to Mars and Uranus, "They do this every training session… I don't get it…"
Uranus laughed as Fighter had wrestled the smaller Healer to the ground and was now pining her in the mud. She also noticed how careful Mars watched Fighter. Uranus nudged her.
"Not still caught over that episode this afternoon are you?" she questioned. Mars shook her head no.
"No… I'm just curious… what was he doing over there?" she asked, trying to beat around the bush.
Uranus laughed, "Michiru blackmailed him into being a model for one of her paintings. However… little did he know it was going to be nude…" She chuckled. "Ahhh, Michiru cracks me up sometimes."
"Who is Michiru?" Mars questioned. Uranus smiled.
"My girlfriend. I love her very much even if I don't show it sometimes," Uranus smiled, then laughed and Healer proceeded to grab Fighter's hair and yank hard.
"Oh… so you and Seiya aren't… romantically involved?" Mars questioned. This was good to hear… maybe…
"Who? Seiya and I? NO WAY! Never… Seiya's … not my type," Uranus laughed, then laughed even harder as Fighter had ended up sitting on Healer's back, as Healer lay face-down in the mud.
