Chapter 7

[Yaten's P.O.V.]

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...

My arm immediately went numb as I cut a deep incision into my wrist. The pain was so intense. I squeezed my eyes shut, knowing that the pain would soon pass and I would be gone. Did I regret it? No.

I heard someone scream my name. Was I imagining it? My vision blurred a bit and the pain started to settle. I looked up and saw a blonde haired girl running over to me. Minako. Then my world went blank. I was gone... forever.

[End of Yaten's P.O.V.]

Minako screamed her head off when she saw Yaten collapse to the ground. She quickly ran over to her. "Yaten? Yaten?" She shook Yaten hard. Frantically, she looked around, trying to figure out what to do. Rei. She picked up Yaten, who was very light, and ran to Rei's temple. Rei would know what to do. She had to.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Rei flung her door open and looked out at Minako, with full anger in her eyes. However, when she noticed Minako's frightened look and Yaten in her arms, her face softened. "What happened?"

Rei led Minako in and had her lay Yaten down near the fire. "I... Yaten came to... to my house... and she .. loves Seiya.. then... she said good.. goodbye... and I.. I don't know what to do!" She was crying hysterically, that Rei only made out bits and pieces of what she was saying.

"What did Yaten do." Minako kept pointing at her wrists and Rei's eyes got wide. "You don't mean..." Minako nodded. "Well, did you check her pulse? Is she still alive?"

"I was.. I'm scared Rei." Rei held up one of Yaten's wrists and put her hand around it, feeling for a pulse. Faintly, one was there.

"She has a bit of life left. If we get her to-" Yaten moved slightly, causing Minako and Rei to jump. "Yaten?"

"Tell..." Yaten attempted to speak. Her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Yaten, you have to save your voice." Rei rubbed Yaten's arm, but Yaten shook her head.

"No. No... Seiya, Minako... please tell him. A... note.. I left.. I-" Her body fell lifeless and she couldn't finish her sentence. Rei desperately tried to check for a pulse again or any way of reviving the fallen star. Meanwhile, Minako broke down in tears.

"Hurry, call the others! Seiya, Usagi... everyone!" Minako stumbled over to the phone, but did what Rei had instructed her to do. She called Usagi, Ami, and Makoto over. Now, she had to call Seiya. God, how she hated him! He made Yaten do this. It was his fault. She dialed his number, with hatred in her eyes.

"Hello?" Luckily Taiki picked up the phone.

"Taiki, it's Minako. You and Seiya," She said his name with such disgust. "Need to get here now. Rei's temple. Yaten is hurt." She then hung up, leaving a confused Taiki on the other end.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

"Hey, Seiya, get up." Taiki walked into the room and shook the younger boy. Seiya muttered something that sounded like a 'leave me alone'. "Seiya, it's about Yaten. Something happened to her." Seiya still didn't budge. "Seiya!" Taiki screamed his name and flipped his mattress over, causing Seiya to fall and hit his head. Now he was awake.

"Taiki! What was that for?" Seiya rubbed his head and looked up angrily at his 'comrade'.

"Get up. We are leaving." He grabbed Seiya's shirt and hauled him out the door to Rei's temple.

~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Rei opened the door and let Taiki and Seiya walk in. Minako glared at Seiya, of course he was the last one to come. He wanted this to happen. "What's going on?" It was Taiki who had popped the question. He was getting a little nervous. Everyone's eyes were all red and went. "Is Yaten okay?"

Usagi broke out into tears, but Rei hushed her up. "Taiki, well it seems that, Yaten has... had been going through a lot of things lately. Things that aren't very good. Did you notice?"

"We noticed something was wrong." He pointed to himself and Seiya when he had said that.

"If you knew something was wrong, you would have protected her!" Minako burst out. Taiki looked at her confused. Seiya looked at her with the same look, which just out-raged her even more. "Don't give me that look Seiya! This was all your fault! It is because of you! You-"

"Minako!" Rei cut in, trying to silence her friend.

"No, Rei! She loved you Seiya! But you couldn't just give her that! Could you?" She didn't even wait for Seiya to respond. "No! You couldn't! Instead you chase after Usagi, who doesn't even like you! She hates you! Yaten loved you and now she is dead! Dead! Because you couldn't give her that one thing! You just couldn't!" Minako finally stopped and broke down into tears.

Tears fell down the side of Taiki's face. "Is... is that true?" Rei nodded her head sadly. Ami came over and hugged Taiki as he broke down into her arms.

Meanwhile, Seiya just stood there. Shocked. How could that have happened? He didn't even know... He turned around quickly and ran out of the little temple. He ran down the stairs, past the park, past the school, and back home to his apartment. He didn't know why he ran there, but he suddenly found himself in Yaten's room. He flicked the light on. Everything was so neat and organized. Her bed was made, her clothes hung up perfectly, and her floor was spotless. His eyes drifted to a note lying on her bed. He sat down and read the note.

Seiya, I'm so sorry we don't feel the same. But now I at least have an understanding of how you feel about Usagi. It's hard loving someone and knowing that they don't love you back. And most likely, never will. You must be a lot stronger than me though. At least you can cope with the fact that you are in a one-sided love. I, unfortunately, can't. Seiya, I am not strong enough. I can't go on, knowing that you don't love me. So, I've decided to leave this place. It never had anything good for me in it. I love you Seiya. So much more than you would ever know. I'm sorry. --Yaten

Seiya's eyes shut as he felt tears slid down his cheek. She really did love him, and he was too blind to see that...
