3 Chapter 9
Sleeping Beauty
"When do you think she'll get better?" Seiya asked Taiki as Yaten slept. They were sitting in the hospital next to Yaten, hoping she would wake up soon. She had been in the hospital for a day now, but every time Seiya and Taiki went to see her, she was always sleeping.
"I called Kakyuu, but she never picked up." Taiki told him. "And she'll probably be ok. She's strong."
Seiya sighed and looked over at Yaten. "Please get better." He whispered.
"Excuse me." A nurse walked in. "Yaten-san has more visitors." Usagi and Rei walked in the room.
"Hi Seiya. How's she doing?" Usagi asked.
"Sleeping, again." Seiya replied.
"Then wake her up!" Usagi said as she walked over to Yaten's bed. "Yaten…Yaten." She whispered.
"Maybe you should just leave her sleeping. She's probably tired." Rei said.
"I know!" Usagi squealed. "This happens all the time in fairytale stories. The prince kisses the princess and she wakes up! So Seiya can be the prince and Yaten can be the princess. Now wake her up Seiya!"
Seiya started blushing. "I don't think I should. Rei's probably right, she's probably tired."
"Don't you want to talk to her though. Plus it doesn't look like she'll be waking up anytime soon, so you have to break the spell."
Seiya took a deep breath. "Ok." He walked over to Yaten and lowered his head, so their lips were just inches away. Yaten moved suddenly. "I…I think she's awake."
"Iie! She's not awake yet, you have to kiss her first!"
Rei looked at Usagi. "You really want him to do this, don't you?"
Usagi giggled. "Yup!"
Seiya took a deep breath, once again, and lowered his lips to Yatens. Slowly, he pressed his lips against hers softly. Seiya heard Usagi take a picture.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?" The nurse asked as she walked in. "She needs room to breath you know."
Seiya's head shot up immediately. He looked at the clock. 'Gosh! I kissed her for…" He trailed off as the nurses voice cut through his thoughts.
"Hello? You alive?"
"Um, yeah."
"Well, what were you doing?"
"I-"
Usagi quickly cut Seiya off. "We were pretending Seiya was the prince and Yaten was the princess and when Seiya kissed her she would wake up. Like in Sleeping Beauty."
"Well this is a hospital. If you want to play games, go outside."
"We just wanted to talk to her." Rei said annoyed.
"You have to wait till later, sorry." The nurse told them as she checked over Yaten's head. "Her head got sliced with an ice skate?"
Usagi looked up guilty. "Um… hai."
"Hmm, how did that happen?"
"Um, we slipped and crashed on the ice and my skate accidently sliced her head. I would probably kill myself if she died. I would feel so guilty!"
The nurse looked at Usagi, shook her head, and walked out. "Oh, visiting hours are almost over!" She called.
Rei looked at the womans back in disgust. "Well, she was a little rude."
Taiki shook his head. "Tell me about it."
"Seiya?" Usagi started.
"What?"
"Well I think you should kiss her again, but this time pour your heart into it." Usagi said.
"Iie, I'm not doing that again. It didn't work the first time, so why do you think it will work this time?"
"Oh please Seiya! Pretty please with a cherry on top. Lots of cherries on top!"
"Get Taiki to do it."
"Iie! It won't work then. It needs to be her true love! Please!" Usagi pleaded.
"Who said anything about me being her true love? Yaten doesn't love, haven't you learned that by now? The only person she loves is-"
"YOU!" Usagi and Rei yelled in unison.
"Iie! The only person she loves is Kakyuu!"
"Well you don't have to get all mean about it!" Usagi shouted.
"Then stop making me try to kiss her!"
"Guys! Guys! Stop!" Taiki said, trying to break up the argument.
"Stay out of this Taiki!" They shouted. Rei sighed and sat down.
"Guys, please be quiet." Came a faint whisper. Usagi and Seiya stopped and turned around.
"Yaten!" Seiya exclaimed as he ran up to Yaten and hugged her tightly.
"Seiya," Yaten started, pulling away slightly. "My head still hurts."
Seiya losened his grip on Yaten immediately. "Gomen nasai. How are you feeling?"
Yaten sighed. "Horrible. My head is killing me."
Usagi walked up to Yaten's side. "Um, I'm really, really, really, sorry Yaten."
"It's alright. It will heal."
"Um, did they-" Usagi started.
Yaten moved her hair to one side. Usagi gasped at the stitches. "Don't worry, I'll heal it. When I get back to Kinmoku I'll just heal it without the doctors help and I won't have anymore stitches."
"Why can't you do it now?" Rei asked.
"I don't know. I tried, but it doesn't work. I don't know if it's because I need to be a Sailor or because I'm not on Kinmoku."
"Well, have you taken any medicine to heal it? Have the doctors given you anything?" Taiki asked as he walked over to Yaten.
"Hai, they have tried to give me some stuff, but I usually just refuse it."
"Why?" They all asked in unison.
"Yaten, it will help you get better!" Seiya told her.
"Are you sure your little sleeping beauty kisses won't just work?" Yaten questioned.
Seiya started blushing again. "You, um, you, uh-"
"Hai Seiya, I heard your little conversation, not completely, but enough to know what you were talking about. Oh and you kiss pretty good, even if it only was for a few minutes."
Seiya blushed even more and looked away. "Um…arigatou…Y-Yaten."
"Gomen nasai Seiya. I didn't mean to embarrass you." Yaten said as she layed her head back against the pillows.
"I'm not embarrassed."
"Oh that must just be a sunburn, huh?"
"Yup it's a sunburn."
"Ah, Seiya." Taiki cut in. "It has been raining for the past few days."
"Uh…"
"Nevermind Seiya. Where's Kakyuu?" Yaten asked, changing the subject.
"She couldn't come." Taiki told her. "We weren't able to contact her."
"Oh, that's alright. I wouldn't want her to worry anyway."
"Always caring for your princess." Seiya laughed, all recovered from his blushing fit.
"Yeah-" Yaten said as she trailed off and closed her eyes.
"Yaten are you ok?" Seiya asked, stepping towards her.
Usagi touched Seiya's arm. "Don't worry Seiya. She's just tired."
"Yeah." Rei nodded. "You should let her sleep."
"Visiting hours are over." The nurse said from the door. "You can come back tomorrow."
"We were just leaving." Taiki told her. The nurse nodded and walked away. Taiki turned to the others. "Let's go, we'll come back tomorrow." Taiki, Rei, and Usagi walked out of the room.
Seiya looked over at Yaten. "She's so beautiful." Seiya whispered and the next thing he knew was he found himself kissing her again. Seiya stepped back instantly. "I gotta stop doing this." He muttered as he walked out.
