Chapter 6
"Wow! This is a nice place Taiki. Good choice." Ami glanced over at Taiki and saw him blush a bit.
"Thank-you. Shall we go and find a table?" Ami agreed and they soon sat at a table for two. The outside of the restaurant looked like an old fish house, but the inside was beautiful. The walls and the floor were all wooden and very shiny. The tables were round and made out of glass with 2 or 4 wooden chairs around it. The windows were stain glass, the lights were dimly lit, and there was a large fishtank against one wall.
"Excuse me, what would you like to start out with?" A waiter dressed in black pants and a white shirt looked down at Ami and Taiki.
"Can I start with a salad please?" The waiter nodded at Ami and turned to Taiki. Taiki ordered the same thing and he was off. "Taiki, isn't that Yaten?"
Taiki turned around and across the room, sitting by herself, was Yaten. "Yeah, I wonder what she's doing here."
"Do you want to go see?"
"No, I'm sure she's fine."
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Yaten stared at her water, which she had already been staring at for the past 5 minutes.
Just then a waiter came by and cleared his throat. "Miss, would you like to order now?"
Yaten looked up. "No thank-you. I'm finished."
"But all you ordered was a water."
"I know. I said I was finished!" Yaten snapped. She threw down a ten- dollar bill and left.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
[1 hour later]
"Thank-you so much Taiki. Dinner was wonderful. We should go out again sometime."
Taiki stopped the car in the front of Ami's house and walked her to her door. "Your welcome. I had a nice time too. I'll call you later on this week." Ami nodded her head as Taiki gave her a kiss on the cheek. "See you later."
"See you later Taiki."
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
"Hey Seiya." Taiki walked into their apartment with a happy grin on his face. "What did you do all night?"
"Nothing. Why are you so cheerful?"
"Just happy. I took Ami out to dinner. That new seafood place, do you know where it is?" Seiya nodded and Taiki continued. "Anyway, we had a wonderful time. Oh, we saw Yaten there. She looked a little upset. Did you guys have a fight?"
"Nah, she was just being a bitch."
"What'd you do?"
"Nothing, we had a little argument. She'll get over it."
"Alright. I'm crashing in for the night. You should probably wait up for her."
"Fine, but if I fall asleep, that's not my problem."
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Yaten thought about calling for a cab, but decided against it. She didn't really want to go home just yet. So instead she just wondered around the streets until she reached the park. It was only around 7:30, so there was a few couples sitting on the benches.
'How disgusting. They're only headed down a long road or heart-ache.' She walked to a bench near the huge fountain in the middle of the park.
[Yaten's P.O.V.]
I have tried so hard to convince myself that Seiya just might like me. Who am I kidding? He barely even notices me. I'm so pathetic! I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I wiped at them quickly. It's no use crying... It won't solve anything.
I looked at my watch. 8:15. I must have sat there longer than I thought. I got up, but still didn't want to go home. I thought of where to go and my first thought was Minako. No, not her. Unfortunately if anyone could help me out of my love problems, why not go to the Love Goddess her self.
It took me about 20 minutes to get to Minako's house, but I really needed to talk to someone. Minako opened the door, looking half shocked half... happy was it? "Sorry if it's late, but I need to talk to you."
"No problem. Come on in." She stepped aside and let me in. "What's up, hun?"
I couldn't stand it anymore! I broke down completely. Telling her the whole story with tears flowing down my cheeks the whole time. "And now I don't know what to do! I know Seiya doesn't love me, but I still want to believe he does. What should I do?" I looked up at her hopefully.
"Oh... a Seiya crisis. I wish I had some answers for you, but this is tough. Have you told Seiya your feelings?"
No, of course not! I... I could never! What would he say? What would he think?" I dug my fingers into Minako's couch, frantically trying to get a hold of myself.
"Sweetie, calm down. Ok, you're not ready to tell him your feelings yet. That's all you had to say."
"Minako, I'll never be able to tell him... he... he doesn't love me!"
"Hey, do you want me to help you or not?" Minako stared into my eyes. I nodded my head. I should hear her out. I mean, it was my idea to come to her for help. "Alright, you don't necessarily have to take my advice, but I strongly suggest that you talk to him. It just might help."
"Ok. I'll try." I know I wasn't going to take her advice, but it was better just to agree with her. It felt good to get all these feelings out. "Thank- you."
"Tell me how it goes."
"I will." I left her house still feeling confused. Should I tell Seiya my feelings...
[End of Yaten's P.O.V.]
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Seiya sat up as he heard the lock jiggle on their apartment door. He rubbed his eyes. "Yaten's home." He muttered.
Yaten walked in and got suprised to see Seiya still up. "What are you still doing up?"
"I had to wait for you. Did you have enough to eat? You were out for so long." Seiya's voice was filled with ice.
"Yes, I did. Seiya, can I talk to you? Can we forget that we fought before?"
"Why, what do you want?"
"Just to talk to you... about something..."
"Fine. Spit it. Let me warn you first though, we usually end up fighting when you want to talk and I'm not in the mood to start arguing."
Yaten thought a bit. That was true... maybe this whole thing was just a bad idea. 'Should I tell him?' Yaten glanced over at Seiya, who was yawning loudly. "No, nevermind. Forget it. I'll see you tomorrow."
Seiya looked up as Yaten jumped up from the couch and ran to her room. 'What's the matter with her?'
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Yaten quickly scribbled something down on a piece or paper. She squinted through her tear-filled eyes to re-read it. They all would most likely find it tomorrow.
She cautiously walked out of her bedroom. Once she reached the front door, she raced out of the apartment out Minako's place.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
[Yaten's P.O.V.]
Minako pulled open the door quickly at my frantic knocking. "Yaten? What's wrong?"
"Well I..." I wasn't exactly sure why I was at her house. "Thanks, for all of your help... bye." I ran as fast as I could away from Minako's house. Leaving her standing in her doorway, calling my name, and not knowing what was about to happen. I had to get away...
I got to the park and sat down on the bench I had sat down on earlier. I pulled the razor blade from my pocket. Seiya and Taiki had stopped me last time. Not this time... not this time. This love for Seiya was giving me too much pain. 'I will end it all tonight... and no-one will even care... much less notice.' Tears sprung to my eyes again.
I put the blade to my wrist. Only a few centimeters down and the blade would cut into my cold flesh... only a few centimeters...
