Chapter 12: Confrontation

Sunshine streamed through Seiya's window and he mentally kicked himself for leaving the curtains open. He rubbed his eyes, stood up, and stretched. 'Guess I'll go get some breakfast. I hope Taiki made something good.' Seiya slowly made his way down to the hall into the kitchen. On the table was a small note.

Seiya and Yaten, I went out for a little while. I will be back soon. -Taiki

'Great. Now who is going to make breakfast?'

"Morning Seiya." Seiya turned around to see Yaten in the doorway, wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "Did you sleep well?"

"Fine and you?"

"Not good at all. I only got about an hour of sleep. I was thinking of ways to kill Makoto. Don't you think she's annoying? I think she is." She took a seat down at the table. "What are we eating?"

"You just don't like Makoto because she butts in at the wrong time. And we're not eating anything. Taiki left and I can't cook. Can you?"

"No."

"Great. Well, what should we do?" Seiya felt Yaten staring at him as he got a glass out of the cabinet. "Um, is there a problem?"

"Problem? No, why?" Yaten stopped staring and quickly looked down. How come he always found a way to make her blush... at the worst moments too?

"We need to talk. Taiki told me to give you some time... but, I kind of want to talk now." Yaten nodded her head and Seiya sat down across from her.

"Ok. Where do you want to start?"

"Well, lately you have been acting um... different. I mean the flirting with me is like at an all time high. Don't get me wrong, it's very flattering, but do you actually like me?" Yaten sat there with her mouth wide open. "Ok, I know that came out a little fast, but I want to know if your just kind of... toying with me? That came out wrong too..."

"What do you want to hear?"

"I... you turn things around so fast. I want you to say 'no' to toying with me. That would make me feel pretty low if it was a yes. And.... I want you to say 'yes' to liking me. 'Cause if you said no, I guess I would be in a one-sided love, yet again."

Yaten stared wide-eyed at Seiya. This whole conversation didn't really go the way she had expected it to. Then it hit her. "What's that about a one- sided love thing?"

"Well, it will only be one-sided if you don't feel the same."

"Do you mean? Um..."

Seiya get up from his chair and went over by Yaten's side. He pressed his lips to hers. "What do you think?"

"I... uh... Do you really mean that Seiya?" Yaten took hold of Seiya's hand tightly, just to make sure he wouldn't get spooked and run off or something like that.

"Yes." Seiya then wrapped his arms around Yaten and pulled her into another kiss.

Taiki arrived at Rei's temple. He had met Usagi, Mamoru, Makoto, Rei, Mina, and Ami there. They were going to discuss Yaten and Seiya. Considering that was the 'hot topic' at this moment.

"Hey Taiki. Come on in." Rei opened the door and let Taiki in. "Are you sure it was safe to leave Yaten and Seiya alone?"

"Yeah. They will either do one of two things. Kill each other or do each other." Rei blushed at Taiki's openness. "Both are fine with me."

"Yeah well... don't you guys leave soon? What do you think Kakyuu will think of this?"

"Yeah, will she be mad?" Usagi joined the conversation as Taiki sat down next to her.

"I don't think she will be. I mean on some level she had to have known something. I think we leave soon. Why?"

Rei shook her head. "I don't mean that we want you to leave or anything. I was just curious."

Minako sighed. "Well, it looks like Seiya and Yaten are taken now. Who am I supposed to date?" She sighed again and took a cookie off of a platter that Rei's grandfather had put out for them. "I'm the love goddess. Love is supposed to follow me everywhere."

"The moon doesn't follow me anywhere, and I am the princess of the moon." Usagi looked at Minako blinking her eyes, clearly confused.

"Never mind." The rest of the group laughed at Usagi's slowness.

"Hey! What? What did I say this time?" She looked at Mamoru and pouted. "I don't get it..."

"We think you're cute." Usagi nodded and snuggles into Mamoru's chest.

Mina threw up her hands in exasperation. "See what I mean!" That broke out into another fit of giggles.

Taiki walked home, eguasted. What a day this was. He wondered what Yaten and Seiya had done all day. He arrived at their apartment and put his key in the lock. When he twisted the doorknob opened, he was surprised at what he saw. There was Yaten and Seiya, lying down on the couch, together and wrapped up in each other's arms. "Oh, yeah. They had a good day."
