By The Way- Like I mentioned before...there are no powers...

Chapter 7
"Oh, it's only you," sneered Seiya, shutting the door in Mamoru's face. He turned to walk back into the kitchen, when he heard the door being pounded on. He opened it yet again.

"What the hell do you want?"

Mamoru ignored Seiya and looked past him, looking for someone, or something.

"Where's Usagi?" He snapped.

At the sound of her name, Usagi walked over to where Seiya was standing. Sadness quickly dawned onto her features as she caught sight of the man standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?" She asked, keeping her voice as steady as she could. Seiya reluctantly moved aside.

"Remember that silver necklace I gave you? The silver one with the rose hanging off it?"

"You mean the ONLY one you gave me. Ya what about it?"

"Well I want it back," he demanded, holding out his hand.

Usagi nodded and looked down at the necklace she was wearing, tears began to form in her eyes. She reached to the back of her neck and fumbled with the clasp.

Realising that she was having a hard time undoing the necklace, Seiya stepped in between her and Mamoru. He shot Mamoru a 'Go to hell' look, and turned to Usagi. He gently brushed her hair aside and began to undo the necklace.

"I'll get you a better one," he whispered into her ear, still trying to get the clasp open. Realising that it wouldn't budge, he broke the necklace apart and turned back to Mamoru. He looked past him, and noticed a familiar looking girl waiting in the car.

~Who is she? Where have I seen her before?~ He wondered.

"Give me the necklace already," spat Mamoru, still holding his hand out. Seiya threw him a look of disgust and flung the necklace outside and into the grass.

"Go fetch for it like the damn dog you are!" He sneered, slamming the door in his face yet again. He turned around to comfort Usagi, but realised that she wasn't standing behind him anymore. She was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, crying her heart out.

Seiya rushed over to her and knelt down, pulling her into a tight hug.

"It's okay," he said, gently pulling away and smiling down at her. "He's a filthy bastard and doesn't know what he's missing," he soothed, wiping her tears away.

Usagi's sobs subsided and she looked up at Seiya.

"I'm really sorry. Tonight was supposed to be great and everything was supposed to be perfect not like---"

Before she could say any more, Seiya leaned down and kissed her. After a while she pulled away and smiled up at him, both blushing slightly.

(A/N: There was some caressing and more kissing but no more! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA^o^HAHAHAHA! Yes I took the part out...I have my reasons people!)

*BEEEEEEEP*

The timer on the washer sounded, bringing the two back to their senses. Seiya reluctantly let go of Usagi and stood up.

"I guess that's my shirt," he sighed, helping her up.

Usagi smoothed down her skirt and smiled at Seiya, before walking past him and into the laundry room. She opened the washing machine and pulled out his shirt, putting it into the dryer along with a dryer-sheet. She turned it on and walked into the kitchen, where Seiya was leaning up against the wall.

"Ready for dinner?" She asked, the horrible incident that happened only moments ago, long forgotten.

"I am if you are," he replied.

"Great. Have a seat and I'll get the food."

"You need any help?" He offered, pulling out a chair.

Usagi turned to him and smiled, shaking her head. "No it's alright, I got it. Thanks anyway."

"Are you sure?"

"Ya don't worry. I have everything under control," she reassured him, picking up two trays. One that had mashed potatoes on it, and the other had stake and gravy. She placed these on the table and went back to get a bowl that had some corn in it. She set that on the table as well, along with two plates, sliverware and glass cups.

"What kind of drink would you like?" She asked, pulling the fridge open.

"Er.....just some water please," Seiya replied sheepishly. Usagi smiled at him and brought out a jug of water. She shut the fridge and carefully poured some in Seiya's cup. She then moved on and did the same to hers.

She set the jug on the table and took the seat across from Seiya.

"This looks great," he remarked. "Smells great too. Here gimme your plate," he said, holding out his hand. Usagi picked it up and handed it to him, watching as he filled it up with everything on the table so that she wouldn't have to stand up or reach over for anything.

"Here you go," he smiled, handing the plate back to her.

"Arigato," she whispered shyly, setting it in front of her. Seiya proceeded to fill his own plate and then sat down. He looked up and caught her staring at him.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, putting his fork down.

Usagi shook her head and smiled. "No nothing. I'm just really glad you came, that's all," she replied softly.

Seiya reached across the table, covering her hand with his. "Well I'm really glad you invited me. Besides, how could I deny any invitation that includes your company," he smiled warmly.
-After Dinner-

Seiya got up and helped Usagi clear the table.

"Do you want me to go ahead and start washing the dishes?" He offered, handing her the bowl of corn. She covered it with saran-wrap and put it in the fridge.

"No that's alright," she smiled, shaking her head. She walked over to the sink and plugged it up, putting all the dishes in and turning on the hot water. "I think I'll just let them soak right now and wash them later."

"Great idea," grinned Seiya, snaking his arms around her waist, hugging her from the back. "Dinner was great Usagi," he whispered, kissing her on the cheek. "Arigato."

Usagi blushed. "Makoto did most of it, I just helped out a bit."

"And I thank you for that," he whispered, kissing her again.

Usagi smiled and turned around to face him. She looked up at him, her eyes twinkling. She slowly leaned up and he slowly leaned down. They kissed and...

*BEEEEEEEEEEEP*

"I swear it's like the appliances are alive, and are doing this on purpose!" Yelled a very frustrated Usagi, pulling away from Seiya.

"Well you know, there is always the option of ignoring the obnoxiously loud 'Beep'," he chuckled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Usagi shook her head. "No. I think it's best if I get it out now before it starts to wrinkle," she reasoned, walking to the laundry room. "Why don't you go ahead and sit in the front room, I'll be there in a second," she called back.

"Why not," mumbled Seiya, making his way to the livingroom. He switched on the radio and instantly recognised one of his favorite songs.

"What's this?" Asked Usagi, stepping into the room. She carefully layed the white shirt on the back of the couch and walked over to Seiya.

"This is one of my favorites songs," he grinned, pulling her closer to him. He put his left hand around her waist and placed her right hand on his shoulder. "Perfect for the waltz," he whispered, pulling her even closer.

~Oh my god he can waltz!~ Thought Usagi as her body swayed in rhythm with Seiya's.

~I remember asking Mamoru to do this with me but he just laughed and said that I probably didn't even know what a "waltz" was. His laugh was like a jagged knife through my heart and I never understood why he constantly be-littled me. Why he made me feel like crap anytime I was around him.~ Tears formed in her eyes, yet she took no notice.

~I thought that maybe his job was stressful and that's why he was like that. I was patient with him, hoping that the insults would cease, but to no avail...I don't see how I could have ever loved him...I mean--~

Usagi was jolted out of her thoughts and back to the present by a panick-stricken voice.

"Usagi! Usagi what's wrong?!" Came the urgent voice of Seiya, gently shaking her shoulders. Usagi blinked. She hadn't realised that she was crying until now. "Oh god! I hurt you didn't I? I'm so sorry if I did, I didn't mean to," he apologised, helping her to the love seat in the corner.

Usagi shook her head sadly and sat down. "No it's...it's not you Seiya...you're perfect...it's not you," she whispered, trying to hold back the rest of the tears that threatened to spill. Seiya sat next to her and wrapped a comforting arm around her shoulders, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Do you...do you want to talk about it?" He asked, unsure of what to say or do.

"I...I don't know," she sobbed, holding onto him.

"It's okay. You don't have to if you don't want to," he assured her, gently stroking her hair in hopes of calming her down.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Seiya *sniff* for acting like...this," she whispered, somewhat ashamed of herself for ruining what could have been an almost-perfect evening.

Seiya shook his head. "It's not your fault Usagi...You've been through too much in such little time. But I want you to know that I'll always be here for you," he whispered, kissing her softly on the head. "Always."

They both lay there peacefully in each others arms, oblivious to the fact that the front door was being pushed open.
