The Chibi Chibi Affair
Author: Nikki Kou
Chapter 8
AN: My next installment of TCCA is here. I was browsing ff.net yesterday and
noticed that one of my favorite fics 'The Differences of History' by Mikami had
been updated. After reading the chapter and looking at the reviews I got for my
last few chapters of TCCA I got the inspiration I needed to write this:
"I don't think that's the question which needs to be answered right now. I think
the question which needs to be answered here is what the hell is going on?!"
asked Yaten looking at the two cherry-faced persons standing there looking
anywhere but at him and Taiki.
"It was nothing.just a kiss between friends; you two are reading more into this
than there is," said Serenity who was still red faced but finally meeting
Yaten's eyes unflinchingly.
"Really do your senshi know of these 'kisses between friends'? Somehow I just
don't see Uranus accepting this and I haven't the slightest reason why. Would
you two care to enlighten me?" asked Yaten with the most betraying look of
innocence although his voice betrayed that he wasn't as calm as his look seemed
to proclaim.
"Look Yaten...it's kinda complicated, truthfully, we don't even know what's
going on. We've had feelings for each other from the time we first met back in
the 21 century but since we met up again our feelings...they keep getting the
better of us," explained Seiya as best he could, face still red.
"Seiya, what if you're caught? When you're accused of treason against the King,
what will you say? Your feelings got the better of you? I don't think that
excuse is going to cut it," said Yaten scathingly.
"Yaten do you really think I'm that stupid?" said Seiya trying to contain his
anger.
"Yes" interrupted Yaten in the same tone as before.
"Yaten..." said Taiki warningly, he stood by quietly to let Yaten scold Seiya
but he wouldn't let this conversation, if it could still be called that,
deteriorate into an argument.
"I've only been out in public in another form. That's who everyone knows me
as...Serius Kamatori, a delegate from a galaxy wishing to forge an alliance with
Crystal Tokyo. I only detransform to this form when Odango and I are alone,"
gritted Seiya through his teeth, his eyes glinting with controlled anger at
Yaten.
"That makes it better? You are little more than cuckolding the King! You feel
proud of that!?" berated Yaten. "How would you like to know that a woman...your
wife is virtually screwing another man behind your back!?" Yaten continued
mercilessly.
'I don't enjoy doing this to Seiya but if this will keep him alive longer...He's
like family to Taiki and me and he needs to realize that what he's doing is
likely to blow up in his face. Since I'm the eldest it's my responsibility to
make him see the error of what he's doing,' thought Yaten regretting deeply the
scathing words he had to use. 'Seiya is to stubborn for flowery talk to
penetrate that thick scull of his...that's why Taiki's let me continue,' Yaten
thought looking directly into Seiya's eyes hoping that these hurtful words had
the decided effect.
Yaten's words had the desired effect on Seiya and Serenity. Both reeled back as
if slapped across the face. Then both paled before Serenity spoke quietly, "The
King and I are separated..."
"What!?" came the voices of all three men.
"That's why he went on that trip. We decided to separate because he finally
realized that I wasn't the same. When he returns depending on how we
feel...we'll decide when the time comes," spoke up Serenity her eyes glittering
with tears.
Seiya, Yaten and Taiki stood speechless their faces mirroring looks of shock.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Seiya as the shock began to recede.
"Endymion and I agreed not to tell anyone. You'll remember how the senshi
especially the Outers virtually forced my hand in the 21 century. We didn't want
that to happen especially since more than a thousand years of our lives was
lost because of their interference," replied Serenity calmly. "I was forced to
break my promise to Endymion because I can't stand to see you guys pressuring
Seiya in such a way. It's not right and it's not fair," she continued quietly
looking away.
"Alright...in that case you to have *careful* fun, exercise caution at all
costs and I hope you both find what you're looking for in the months you have
left before Endymion returns and Seiya comes back to Kinmoku," sighed Taiki
before Yaten could interject anything else.
"Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me...to us" said Serenity
smiling and causing the water in her eyes to spill down her cheeks in happiness.
Moving forward she embraced Taiki briefly and leaned up to whisper in his ear.
She did the same to a hesitant Yaten and whispered something into his ear also.
Both men smiled at her before turning to Seiya.
"I think we'll be sticking around for a while Seiya. Where are you staying?
We'll see if we can get rooms there too," spoke up Taiki smiling from what
Serenity had revealed to him.
"I'm staying at 'The Vaquerano' (AN: Karla that's for you =) great architecture
and style with an air of privacy," said Seiya with a smile. He had an idea of
what Odango had told his 'brothers' to have them switch so quickly to more
agreeable moods.
"Alright then. We'll leave you two to your own devices. There's someon...some
people I want to see." said Yaten a slight smile on his lips.
"Just one more thing before you guys go, are you guys going to be disguised
also? If you go walking around in your normal appearances, especially in the
Palace, the Outers will become suspicious as to my whereabouts," said Seiya
looking anxiously at them.
"Actually I think we'll both also assume alternate appearances...it might be
fun," said Taiki with a smile.
"We're off now. We'll contact you through telekinesis (AN: yes they can in this
fic, I mean multiply their power levels by over 1000 years of training and fine
tuning of their skills and I think we'd have beings fit to be called Gods
because their abilities have evolved) later," said Yaten before he and Taiki
disappeared leaving blue and green stars in their wake.
"Now can we leave for that weekend of rest and relaxation? I think I need it now
more than ever after that interrogation," sighed Serenity turning into Seiya's
embrace as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Yeah and when we get there someone has some explaining to do," replied Seiya
pecking Serenity on the lips.
"Hmm," she agreed as she tried to deepen the kiss. "I'll tell you all that I
know and what you wish to know if I know the answers," she said as she pulled
away.
After Seiya assumed his alternate persona they left the Palace separately. With
plans to meet up at another location, this time with Serenity in disguise. From
there the two would head to their mountain retreat to start their extended
weekend.

Uranus caught sight of long raven colored hair with purple highlights float
around the door of the transportation room.
'Mars? What could she be doing here? It could be coincidence but I don't think
so' she thought as she hurried her steps to catch up to Mars before she left for
where ever she was headed to.
"...to the Time Gates. It's urgent," came Mars' hurried voice as Uranus entered
the room.
'So it's not a coincidence, she's probably off to see Pluto concerning the
changes we are sensing,' thought Uranus.
"Mars. Where are you off to in such a hurry?" asked Uranus pretending she hadn't
heard Mars' request of the technicians.
"I'm off to see Pluto concerning some visions I've been having, try to determine
if they mean anything serious of if it's nothing," answered Mars with no
hesitation.
"I've been feeling changes in the wind recently. At first I thought nothing of
it especially since Neptune said her mirror showed no new evils, she said
everything is as it should be now but I have this nagging feeling...I don't know,
I can't explain it. I myself was on my way here to go see Pluto to affirm that
everything is okay. Now that I've met you here I have reason to suspect that my
worries were not unfounded," explained Uranus a frown marring her features.
"How strange, maybe something is wrong with the King but if there was something
wrong with him we'd know. The Palace would have been contacted at the slightest
sign of ill health or anything else. Serenity has been fine, in fact for some
reason unknown she's seemed happier now than she has been in a very long
time," replied Mars a frown also marring her features.
"That is true. Now that you mention it, Serenity's been extremely happy ever
since that delegate came along with his request to forge a treaty between
Crystal Tokyo and his galaxy. I wonder what's so different about this galaxy
that's got her so happy...that is if it's even the galaxy and not the delegate,"
said Uranus her voice getting low towards the end of what she said, her eyes
narrowing thoughtfully.
"Uranus, no disrespect but that's stupid Serenity is married to Endymion and
would never even think of doing such a thing. Her love may not be as strong as
it once was but she wouldn't do that to him," said Mars her voice not sounding
convincing to her own ears.
Uranus seemed to think about this for a few minutes before coming to a decision.
"You're right besides the two haven't met anywhere outside her offices and he
only comes in about two or three times a week I think," she said sounding more
convincing than Mars had.
"Mars, Uranus the beams are ready to transport you both to your desired
destinations," said one of the technicians coming up to them.
"Well I guess we'll find out now won't we," said Mars leading the way into the
chamber.
'Hopefully Pluto will be able to help us...' thought Uranus following her.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Okay I know some of you will probably want to skin me alive but like I said I
have important exams that may determine the rest of my life so I can't
concentrate much on writing. Instead of studying for a French exam (which I'll
probably fail anyway) tomorrow I chose instead to type up a new chapter. I hope
you guys enjoyed it and review. If you leave your email addresses or if you
have and MSN and/or AIM handle I'll add you to my contact list and alert you to
the various updates and answer any questions you have. Ja ne!!
