A Couple?
::Ring, ring. Ring, ring::
"Get the phone Seiya!" Yaten yelled from her room. 'Can't a girl ever get some sleep!'
::Ring, ring. Ring, ring::
"Taiki! Pick up the phone! I'm trying to sleep!" Yaten yelled, again.
::Ring, ring. Ring, ring::
"What am I yelling at myself!" Finding no answer, Yaten sighed and picked up the phone. "Moshi moshi?"
"HI YATEN!" Usagi yelled through the other end of the phone.
"Calm down. I just woke up."
"Oh, gomen nasai! Did I wake you up?"
"Iie, the rats in my attic did."
"Oh…they did?" Usagi asked. "That's gross!"
"Yeah I know." Yaten said. "Why are you calling me?"
"Well, I thought that maybe you would like to hang out. Would you?"
"Sure, why not. I'm bored anyway and Seiya and Taiki aren't here to bother."
"Ok! Meet me at the arcade in a half hour. Rei will be there too! Later!"
"Ok, sure. Ja." Yaten hung up the phone. 'What am I going to wear?' After about twenty minutes of searching through her closet, she decided on a light green tube top and pedal pushers. She quickly did her hair, put it back in a ponytail, and walked out the door.

"Ohayo Yaten!" Usagi called.
Yaten walked towards Usagi and Rei. "Hello Usagi, Rei."
"So," Usagi started. "Has Seiya asked you out yet?"
Rei looked horrified. "Usa-chan!"
"Nani?" Usagi asked.
Yaten raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so this is why you wanted to hang out with me, huh?"
Usagi and Rei both looked down at their feet.
Yaten rolled her eyes. "I'm not mad at you, but no, Seiya didn't ask me out. Why do you want to know anyway?"
"Um, well, he, um, kissed you last night." Usagi said.
"So, that doesn't mean we're going out."
"I think he likes you." Rei said. "And you like him, so it's perfect!"
Yaten eyes practically popped out of her head. "Nani? I do NOT like Seiya! I already told Usagi that!"
"Then why are you blushing?" Rei giggled.
"I am not blushing!" Yaten yelled.
"C'mon you can tell us. We won't tell anyone."
"Ok, I'll tell you." Yaten said, motioning them forward. When they got near her, she put her arms around their shoulders, and went near their ears. "I DON'T LIKE HIM!" She screamed, as loud as she could.
"Ow! You hurt my ears!" Usagi whined.
"You couldn't just say it normally?" Rei asked, rubbing her ears.
"No, sorry." Yaten shrugged.
Just then Seiya walked up with Minako. He was obviously telling her a joke because Minako was laughing uncontrollably.
"Hello Usagi, Rei, Yaten." Seiya nodded to each of them as he said their names.
"Hi minna!" Minako greeted them.
"Hi Minako. Are you still going skating tonight?" Usagi asked.
"Hai so is Makoto. I asked her earlier."
"Um, Seiya? Usagi asked.
Seiya's eyes brightened. "Yes, Usagi?"
Usagi thought for a moment. 'Should I ask him?' Usagi shrugged. "Are you going out with Yaten?"
Yaten stared at Usagi. 'I could just kill her! How could she ask a question like that?' But she listened anyway. 'Well. I am a little curious about how he will react.'
Seiya burst out laughing. "Where did you get that idea? Me and Yaten, going out, that's funny Usagi!"
Yaten heart broke at that. 'Does he think it's funny because he can never picture us together or…' Yaten trailed off because Rei was asking another question.
"Well then, do you like her?" Rei asked.
"As friend-like or love-like?" Seiya asked.
"Um-"
"Love-like!" Usagi cut in.
"Hey, Usa?" Yaten motioned Usagi near her.
"Yeah?"
"Ask Seiya why he laughed." Yaten whispered to her.
"Oh, so you do like him." Usagi giggled.
Yaten rolled her eyes. "Just ask him."
"First answer me. Do you like him?"
"I'll tell you later, ok?"
"Promise?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Say I promise, or I won't ask."
"I promise or I won't ask."
"Yaten!"
"Sssh!"
"Gomen. Say, 'I promise Usa'." Usagi ordered her.
"I promise Usa. Happy?"
"Yup!" Usagi said as she turned back to Seiya. "Um, Seiya, why did you laugh when I asked if you and Yaten were going out?"
Seiya shrugged. "I don't know."
"Fine, I'll ask an easier question. Why did you kiss her last night?"
Rei and Minako stepped a little closer to Seiya, to see what his answer would be. Even Yaten moved up a bit.
"Um-" Seiya started.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Usagi said holding up a hand. "And give me the real reason why you laughed when I asked if you guys were going out." Usagi said with her arms crossed waiting for an answer.
"Ok, I laughed because I thought it was funny and I kissed her-"
Rei cut in this time. "Why did you think it was funny?"
"I don't know, I just did. Anyway-"
"Wait, wait!" Now Minako cut in. "WHAT made it funny?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Seiya yelled. "I was in a laughing mood! ANYWAY, I kissed her because I wanted to! No more questions!" Seiya finished as he stormed off.
Then there was silence. And more silence. And even more silence.
"That didn't go to well, did it?" Rei asked, breaking the long silence. The other three just shook their heads.
