The sun was nearly set, giving the sky a dark orange tint. I stand with
the rest of the inner senshi, the three lights and their princess across
from us, readying themselves for their final goodbyes. 'Bye bye' yaten
said with a wink, more so directed towards Luna, but I took it to my
delight anyways. 'Come back and visit us anytime!!' I say with a fake
plastered on smile, whilst on the inside Iam screaming for them to stay
near me. The other inner senshi bid them farewell too, but I cannot hear
them. The voices are blocked from my mind; there is nothing but silence.
and yaten. I cannot wrench my eyes from him, though it pains me more and
more each second I stare. For I know I will never again be able to see my
cranky, silver haired, lime green eyed angel again. I don't think he
notices me though. He seems happy, he should though I assume. He has
nothing to lose, only gain. He's getting what he wants, to return to
Kinmoku with his long lost princess. Sound comes back to my ears, though
there is nothing to hear now, the goodbyes are over. The departure has
come. The lights and their princess turn around and look towards the sky.
I stare into Yaten's eyes, even though he is not looking at me, but staring
absent mindedly in another direction. He seems lost almost. He notices the
others are turned, and turns towards them, passing the way Iam standing.
His eyes come across mine only a second, but to me seems an eternity. In
his eyes there seems to be some lingering sorrow. I contemplate if it
could ever mean anything to me. But with a blink of my tear brimmed
eyes.he is gone.
*/*/*/*/*/* On Earth Minako slowly opens her eyes. A single crystal blue tear sparkles against the pale moon light sky and slides down her cheek, and is absorbed into her yellow flower patterned pillow. Minako squints her eyes closed, causing more crystal tears to squeeze out. She curls up into a tight ball and pulls her warm covers around herself to keep the cool nights air away from her warm body. After a couple sniffles are over, Minako takes in a deep breath, and slowly releases it. She flutters her eyes open, revealing herself to painful reality once again. She looks around a bit, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the dim light of her room. Whilst looking, she notices what the alarm clock reads; 3:05 a.m. Minako sighs, the red numbers burn into her head. She regrets very much that she woke up so early; she would have much more wanted to sleep till noon. But there was no chance for that, not for a long time now. She had been waking at un- godly hours of the night for quite some time now.ever since that night.
'Every night now.' Minako's thinks to herself
'..its that same nightmare.' lethargically she raises out of bed, leaving the comfort of her warm covers behind, and puts her feet on the carpeted floor. She cocks her head to one side.
'But what's worse then having that same nightmare.' Minako pushes herself off of her bed and walks a couple steps, unsure of where she should head.
'Night.after night...' Minako decides to walk over to her window. She parts her curtains and leans on the dark wooden frame work of the window, peering into the night sky.
'Is that.' Minako focuses her attention on her reflection in the window,
'It's true.' The refection staring back at her is a sad and lonely one. One that hasn't experienced real joy in a long, long time. It has almost been one year since when the three lights and their princess returned back to their home planet, Kinmoku. Of course this hit everyone pretty hard. Usagi's usual way of cooping was crying her eyes out anytime someone mention something slightly related to any of the lights.more specifically Seiya. Mako was grief stricken. She had lost three more sempais, but of course, being Mako, they were soon replaced by some other man she just so happened to meet at the arcade. Ami is a bit lonely now, with no one to compete against; her only rival in a long time is gone. Reis life is rather boring now. With the three lights gone, there were no more bad guys, meaning no more premonitions. It was back to everyday temple life for her. Minako was the worse of all the scenarios. She would spend day after day moping about, her usual days of happiness and laughter were over now. The girls knew what it was that was killing her though. She missed yaten dearly. It was quite noticeable before..Even though she tried to go after all three lights.she held something more for yaten. Throughout the year she had gotten better. Her smile that was normally plastered on her face was back again and every thought she had recuperated. But deep inside, she still held those same feelings, the same feelings that still slowly kill her even now. Minako tears herself away from her un-wanted image and focuses back to the night sky. The sky was unusually clear out tonight and she stands enthralled by the tons of brilliant shining stars that could be seen because of it. There was one star in particular that shone more brilliant then all the others. Minako drew her attention towards it.
'I wonder if that's Kinmoku right there...' Minako whispered as she stared at the bright star. After she said this, the star twinkled. A warm smile made its way to Minako's face.
'I wonder.' she whispered again.
*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* On Kinmoku Yaten leaned against his grand balcony, admiring the wonderful view it gave of the clear night sky. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the twinkle of a star. He turned to face the tiny star. He raised a slender hand to his mouth and smiled open mouthed.
'I wonder if that's earth right there...' he breathed. The smile left him as he began to reminisce of his times on earth. Though very short, he missed the blue planet immensely, but he would never tell anyone else that, they all think that he hates it with a passion. Which sometimes, yes he did. While on earth he had become a famous idol singer, he did this in order to find his princess, not to have all this fandom that came with it. All those annoying little girls who thought they were in love with him seemed to be everywhere. All these people who thought they loved him made him think more and more of his lost and lonely princess. With every passing day they could not find her, he grew colder and colder towards earth. He hated it there. All he wanted to do was to find his princess and return with his brothers back home. Home. Now he was there, yet sadly, that damned earth planet got to him. Well, not the planet, more so its inhabitants. A girl in specific, the one star that shone almost as bright as his beloved princess. Yaten chuckled softly.
'Of all the girls in the world, the most unlikely.. to her knowledge at least, is the one I'm in love with..' Yaten drifted off into space as he thought longingly of her. Her name, Minako.
'What a beautiful name.' he thought.
'Beautiful little child..such an understatement for such an angel..' He offered out his hand to the air,
'such a lovely face..' He curled his fingers up and away.
'And her long locks of golden hair, cascading down her delicate frame..' He brought his hand to his chest and bit his lip.
'.so soft I bet.' he let out a thin line of air, and hung his head. Seiya and Taiki also know of his Minako.
'I think they know...' Yaten thought.
'My god I hope they don't!!! As soon as they got the chance they'd blurt it all out to her and I would have to kill them..slowly...painfully..' yaten giggled. But his giggling did not last for long. It slowly let up and melted into his normal cold, hard gaze once more.
'how I miss her..how I wish.I could've told her.how I felt.how much I .' Yaten's thoughts were cut short by the faint noise of knocking on his bedroom door. He didn't hesitate and snapped around towards the entrance but stopped abruptly, and looked back to the brilliant stars once more.
'.how much I love her..' He finished, his lime eyes softened for a moment, but another knock came and he annoyingly turned back and whipped open the door.
'WHAT?!' he screeched to whomever was interrupting him. Seiya stood flat- eyed in front of him.
'Well.I don't think I should ask you now, meanie.' yaten blinked a few times, taken aback just slightly.
'Tell me what?' Seiya stuck his nose in the air and put his hands on his hips
'Well I was just going to invite you over to Taiki's room, we were having heated discussion over earth and we thought you might like to join..but since you SREECHED AT ME..' Seiya said leaning into Yaten's face. Yaten kept his cold gaze he had before,
'Why the hell would I care about earth for?!' He questioned him. Seiya rolled his eyes and plopped his arms on Yaten's shoulders.
'Oh come now yaten, you don't expect me to believe this bull shit your feeding me, do you? IAM your brother..I see through your lies..' Seiya waggled his eyebrows. Yaten threw his head to the left and sulked in his anger for a moment.
'Damn you Seiya' he grumbled. Seiya immediately smiled upon realizing he had won the argument.
'Come now let us be off!' Seiya said tugging yaten along down the long corridor. Yaten jerked away form his grasp.
'I can walk you slug!' He stated. Seiya held his hands up in apology.
'Touchy, touchy.' he said.
