Chapter 5
Yaten stared at the ceiling of her room. 'It's all because of her. If she wasn't in the picture I might have a chance.uh, but then there's Kakyuu. How come Seiya falls in love with the people she can't have? People who don't even show her love, but then there's me and she's completely oblivious to the fact that I love her.' Yaten rolled over on her side, letting her hair hang off one side of her bed. 'I wonder if she'll ever see.hmm, I wonder how I ever started having this obsession with her.'
*Flashback*
A little arrogant 7 year old girl sat on the step of a large palace. Her silver hair was spread around her, done in two neat braids. Her bright green eyes were all glossy and tear-filled. She stared down at the paper in her hands. The colors were all swirled together and the paper was wet from being sprayed with water.
"Stupid Seiya, always ruining everything!" Yaten looked down at the paper again. Half of her wanted to rip it up, but the other half wanted to keep it.
"Yaten."
Yaten's head shot up at the sound of her name. She turned around and looked into the deep blue eyes of the raven-haired child. Seiya. She turned and ignored her.
"Yaten, I'm really sorry about your picture. I didn't know you liked it so much." Yaten still ignored her. Seiya shrugged and dropped a piece of paper next to Yaten. She then walked away.
Yaten watched Seiya's retreating back out of the corner of her eye. When Seiya wasn't in sight anymore, Yaten picked up the piece of paper. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw a painting similar to the one she just did. Although Seiya's was sloppier, drier, and a bit strange looking. Yaten laughed.
End of flashback
Yaten laughed to herself. 'Not exactly how I got obsessed with her. It was a good memory though.' She laughed a bit more and leaned over the side of her bed, pulling out a small black box. She just kept stupid stuff in it. Her eyes skimmed over a notebook she had. It was black with silver sparkles on it. Her name was written in tiny gold stars. She had decorated it herself! In it she just wrote stupid stuff that was going on in her life, although she hadn't written in it since her last visit to earth when they were looking for their princess. That had been, like, a year ago! Yaten opened the book and read her first entry.
Journal
Entry: I //Earth
The first day we are on Earth. as males. Seiya said posing as male idols/singers would attract her attention. Our princess.
End of entry
Yaten flipped through another page. 'Ok, that wasn't it.' It must have been hours before Yaten finally turned to a page that lead to some clues!
Journal
Entry: XXII //Earth. still
I swear, Seiya is getting so of task with our mission! I'm sure I have mentioned it before. several times, but still! Today, though, was actually kind of different. he wasn't his happy, cheerful self. He seemed incredibly distant. I saw him talking to Usagi today. He was asking her if he was good enough for her. she said he was more than good enough. but then why does she keep hurting him?! Seiya's too cheerful, funny, outgoing, cute. yeah, well he's just too happy all the time to be upset. I could have killed her for that!
End of entry
Yaten shut her book. 'Hmm, that reminds me. We haven't seen the inners much. Usually Seiya would jump at a chance to see them. er. her.' Yaten hopped off of her bed and out her door.
"Seiya! Taiki!" She waited there a bit for one of them to answer. Yaten went over and knocked on Seiya's door.
A few minutes later Seiya flung open her door. "What?"
Yaten looked at Seiya for a bit. She didn't really want to bring up Usagi, more like; she just wanted to talk with Seiya. "What's for dinner?"
"I don't know. Ask Taiki." Seiya went to close her door, but Yaten stopped her. "What?"
"Um. we never talk anymore. It's like, ever since we came back and I've been forgetting a lot of things you fear me or something. Sorry if I'm not the easiest person to live with, but."
Seiya looked down at Yaten. "What are you talking about?"
"Uh. that we don't talk much anymore."
"So, you want to talk?"
"Hai, I guess."
"You could have just said that in the first place. Sure, we'll talk but first let's go find something to eat. I'm starving!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seiya settled down on the couch with a large bowl of popcorn, some chips, and a bag of pretzels. "Now this, is good food!"
"Yeah, ok."
"So, what do you want to talk about? If it's about dinner, I don't know what we're having, but I can't wait!"
"Ugh, your such a pig!"
"I know. I think we should order out. What do you think?"
"I think Mexican of Italian."
"Oh. I was leaning more into Chinese."
"Eww! Iie! Do you have any idea of what's in that food?"
"Iie. But as long as I don't know, it's ok."
"Well, lets cross Chinese out of our list. Maybe Japanese?"
"Maybe, but what about the Mexican and Italian?"
"Let's just put a whole bunch of different kinds of foods in a bowl and chose that way."
Seiya shook her head. "You're strange."
"Why?"
"I don't know. You just are." Yaten shrugged and got out a piece of paper and a pen. She scribbled down 9 names and then folded up the pieces of paper.
"Ok! Give me your popcorn bowl and we'll see which food is the winner!"
"But I'm not done yet."
Yaten put her hands on her hips. "Then finish it! You gobbled everything else down in record time!"
Seiya glared at her and shoved the rest of her popcorn in her mouth. "Haffy?"
"Hai." Yaten took the folded up pieces of paper and put them in the popcorn bowl. "Ok, we have 9 different choices-"
"What are the choices?"
"I'm getting to that." Yaten placed her hand in the bowl. "The choices are; Japanese, Mexican, Fast food-" Yaten put on a look of disgust. "Chinese, Italian, French, Greek, German, or Seafood. And the winner is." Yaten paused for a second. "Seafood!"
"Yay!"
"Your happy about that?"
"Yeah!"
"Ugh. gross! Let's choose again!"
"Iie, that's the winner!"
"Hi guys! Bye guys!" Yaten and Seiya looked up as the saw Taiki run out of the house.
Seiya sat up. "Where's she. I mean he. going?"
Yaten shrugged. "I don't know."
"Ah, who cares! I'm hungry! Let's go get some seafood! Do you want to eat out or just have it delivered?"
"I can't believe you're still hungry!"
"Well, which one?"
"Eat out?"
"Is that a question or do you want to eat out?"
"Oh, I want to eat out."
"Good, lets go." Seiya grabbed her coat out of the closet.
"Hang on a sec, let me just go fix my hair."
Seiya groaned. "Iie! That will take hours! We're leaving now!" Seiya picked up the keys and shoved Yaten out the door."
"But-"
"Your hair looks fine."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Taiki stood out side Ami's house. 'Ok, I have already scheduled this. I have already told her. Now I have to go through with it. There's nothing to be nervous about.' He knocked on Ami's door. 'Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous.'
"Hi Taiki. How are you?"
Taiki looked up. "Fine thanks. You?"
"I'm fine. So where are we going?"
Taiki held out his arm for Ami. "I figured we could go to this new restaurant. It just opened about two days ago. It's seafood though."
"Seafood sound good." Ami laced her arm through Taiki's and they walked off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Keep your eyes peeled for the restaurant. It's kind of buried."
Yaten nodded "What's the name of it?"
"Um. I think its Kingyo's Seafood and Sushi Restaurant. something like that."
"Eww! Sushi!"
"You don't have to eat the sushi."
"Well duh! I know that!"
"Ok. Just when we go in, please don't start a scene of make a big deal about it."
"I won't! What makes you think I would do that!"
"Because your you."
"What does that mean? I won't do that!"
"Ok, fine. I was just saying!" Seiya shook her head. "You love to start fights, don't you?"
"I didn't start anything! All I said was that I didn't like sushi!"
Seiya sighed. "Ok, whatever. I don't-"
"Idiot! You just passed it!"
"Huh?" Seiya looked in her rear-view mirror and sure enough, she saw the sign for 'Kingyo's Seafood and Sushi Restaurant' slowly disappearing. "I'm an idiot? You were supposed to tell me when you saw it!"
"If you hadn't zoomed past it like a maniac, maybe I could have!"
Seiya glared at Yaten. "This was your idea to go out and eat! I can easily drive back home and forget it!"
"If you don't want to go, just drop me there! I don't need you to come!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!" Yaten crossed her arms and looked out the window. 'Damn! I wanted Seiya to come! This was supposed to be part of my plan to get Usagi out of the picture! Oh!! Why does she have to have such an attitude problem? Ugh! Now I'll never get her! It's not fair!'
"You can get out now."
'Maybe she'll reconsider. Maybe she'll come in anyway because she's hungry. Maybe. maybe."
"Hello! You can go now! Out!"
Yaten's head popped up. "Gomen Seiya. I didn't hear you. What did you say?"
"Oh shut up! I said, 'Get out'! You're here!"
"Gosh sorry! I didn't hear you!" Yaten got out and slammed the door.
"What time do I come and get you?"
"Forget it! I'll take a cab!" With that, Yaten turned and walked off.
Seiya shook her head. "Bitch."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yaten stared at the ceiling of her room. 'It's all because of her. If she wasn't in the picture I might have a chance.uh, but then there's Kakyuu.
