Chapter 12: Under the Stars
In one movement, Seiya tore Princess Kakyu's letter in anger. Yaten and Taiki stared at him-they had never seen him so angry before.
"Seiya, calm down please," Taiki said.
"How can I? Haruka finally is giving me a chance and I am forced to hurt her by leaving!" Seiya was practically yelling now. Haruka had gone out so he wasn't worried about her overhearing.
"I told you that you shouldn't have gotten close to her," Yaten stated matter-of-factly.
"Just shut up, Yaten, please," Seiya said coldly.
"Seiya, we are sailor senshi. Our duty to Princess Kakyu and Kinmoku comes first and foremost," Taiki pointed out.
"That is supposed to make me feel better about leaving Haruka?" Seiya snapped. Taiki and Yaten were silent, not knowing what to say. Seiya stormed up to his room, slamming the door behind him.
"How long would his thing with Haruka would have lasted anyhow?" Yaten shrugged, reaching for the remote.
"Yaten, you are oblivious," Taiki sighed and left, leaving Yaten confused.
When she came home later, Haruka was confused to why Taiki and Yaten avoided her, refusing to even look at her. She could sense that there was something was going on as she went upstairs to find Seiya.
She found him sitting in his room in the dark, staring out his window at the clear night sky.
"Seiya?" she said softly and he turned to her, his eyes sad for a moment.
"Haruka.." he started but fell silent, not knowing what to say to her. She sat next to him on his bed and he put his arm around her. Even though he knew he would have to leave, at least he could be with her now, he thought, running his fingers down her check.
Tomorrow would come soon enough.
