Chapter 9: Disappointment and Hope
Haruka was grateful that Seiya didn't follow her. His sudden appearance had been a surprise but she was satisfied that she had seen him jealous. That would teach him not to mess with her again.
Seiya was curled up on his bed in the hotel room, holding a bag of ice to his head. It seemed everything he came back to this planet, he got hurt. But now it was the emotional pain that tormented him more than anything.
When he had saw that other man with his arm around Haruka, it felt like someone had kicked him in the stomach.
"Seiya? Are you OK?" Yaten asked as he and Taiki came in, setting their bags down.
"What are you two doing here?' Seiya grumbled, not even moving.
"We thought you could use some help," Taiki explained. "So she hit you again," he sighed, looking down at Seiya.
"No, her boyfriend did," Seiya mumbled. Yaten and Taiki glanced at each other for a moment in surprise. Silence fell over the room for a few minutes.
"Just out of curiosity, why did her boyfriend hit you?" Yaten asked. Taiki rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed at Yaten's immaturity.
"It's none of your business! Now if you don't mind, I would like to be alone!" Seiya said harshly. Taiki was concerned, this seemed to be getting out of hand.
Seiya waited until his brothers had left to get more ice. He couldn't understand why Haruka still hated him but would date men with no detectable signs of intelligent life.
That's when it hit him. Haruka hated him but not other guys. If he could change his appearance then she wouldn't hate him; he would be just another guy to her. He knew that eventually that she would find out but until then, he knew it was his best chance. He laid back down, forming his plan as he drifted off to sleep, still holding the ice pack to his head.
