Chapter 6: Heartache

Princess Kakyu tapped her pen on her desk as she stared out her study window. She was worried and she couldn't concentrate on her work. Ever since the three Starlights had returned from Earth this time, she had noticed a considerable change in Seiya's behavior. She could clearly see that he was depressed over something, or someone. He refused to tell them anything and it was only through Yaten that she learned about his problems with the Uranian senshi, Haruka.
She knew that Seiya could not be allowed to stay this slump but she didn't know what she could do. It was just one of those things that he had to work out on his own but she would be there just in case.

Seiya was miserable. He missed Haruka and couldn't stop thinking about her. He tried to keep himself busy, to keep himself busy just to keep his mind off her.
Things quickly started to get worse for him. He couldn't sleep and had even started to dream about her.
That was when he found a solution in sleeping pills he found in his cabinet. No longer was his dreams tormented by her and he could detach himself from the world. He knew he was going down a dangerous path but he told himself that he would stop once he was over her.

It had been nearly a month since Seiya had left. Haruka missed him but on the other hand, was glad that she didn't have to watch him flirting and doting over Usagi all the time.
She knew his type. Flirting with everyone with no real feelings. As soon as he lost interest, he moved on. She couldn't believe she had fallen for him after on kiss which most likely had meant nothing to him. She assumed he had another girlfriend (or girlfriends) on Kinmoku by this time and this tormented her.
Hurt and frustrated, she did something that she had not done in a very long time- dating. She had no real interest in the men she went through. They were just a distraction for her.
