With the Rain
Disclaimer: I still don't own Sailor Moon, so I guess it doesn't belong to me-in other words, don't sue me, I'm just a poor student! ^.^
AN: This chapter is mainly about Seiya, and I realize that he was moving really fast on Hotaru and she... well, she was brought over by the sweet words he said-so would anyone else. I hope. They were romantic words he said, right? Or was I the only one who thought so? And I'm sorry that this update has been so slow-inspiration doesn't come easy for me and school is another hassle, as well as life as general. Also, sorry if went did go too fast last chapter-I'm just horrible with action and that... well, you didn't have to yell at me MoMo-ChAn! Anyway, on with the chapter.
Last point, I am very sorry for the late update...please forgive me!!!
Chapter 3
~*~*~*~*~*
The morning air was cool with fog roaming the streets, and Seiya was forced to walk to and from school that day-his mother wouldn't let him ride his motorcycle out into the thick fog. It was really a good thing he was walking today; his mind was crowded with thoughts that never left him since last night. He was so forward the other night with Hotaru, and glad that she responded like she did. Seiya had a crush on Hotaru, for at least a year now, starting at the football tournament.
Such a beautiful, little nurse who made sure her patients were comfortable in the nurse tent, even if they called her some of the most rude names, like "freak" and "monster." It was a good thing he was in pain that day, or he would have blurted out what he thought of her, "an angel in black."
And now, after watching her from afar, seeing her smile softly at some of his antics, getting so flustered while with her friends when ever he rode past on his bike, he felt like walking on air while sprouting poetry that was all meant for her. Hotaru was a kind woman, with a heart that didn't show her pain to the world- she was so strong and kind. Even if she didn't realize the latter.
"Hey, Seiya!" Yaten yelled right into Seiya's ear, rather annoyed. With him was Taiki, who smiled at the look on their friend's face. "Are you there?"
"Yes I'm here you idiot!" Seiya yelled back, hitting his friend with his book bag. An odd thought came to mind after he did so; since his day had started badly, would it end just as bad? He hoped not.
"Why are you walking, Seiya?" asked Taiki, shaking his head at his friend's strange antics. Seiya usually wasn't violent. But, Yaten deserved it for yelling in Seiya's ear.
"My mom wouldn't let me ride my bike-said it was far too dangerous to ride in this fog," replied Seiya with a glum look.
"She's right you know-you can hardly see five feet in front of you and on a fast moving vehicle? Who knows what would have happened," said Taiki, the only one who possessed a sense of brains as he said this, not caring for the glare Seiya sent his way.
"Anyway, what did you need Hotaru-san's help with?" Yaten asked, going straight to the point he and Taiki wanted to talk to Seiya about.
"My English," Seiya replied after a moment of silence, a small blush came to his face as he started to walk a little faster then the others so they wouldn't notice.
"Then why didn't you come to me for help?" asked Taiki after Yaten hit him in the rails-the tallest one of them all guessed about Seiya's crush from the beginning, but as for Yaten...
"I forgot about you?" The words sounded like a question-Seiya didn't want to go to his friend for help, he wanted Hotaru's help instead. It was indeed selfish, but he simply wanted to be with her, near her, close enough to touch her smooth skin and feel her silky hair between his fingers.
The other two were silent; thinking, Seiya guessed as he slowed his pace to let the other two catch up. He didn't care what his friends thought of his crush, if it was good or not, it did not matter to him any longer, not since that kiss. But Seiya wasn't dumb; he knew Taiki's feelings were hurt from his "forgetfulness." Taiki was usually the one he went to for help concerning his homework and studying for certain classes. Alas, his chance for being with her, the ability to finally know the little nurse had opened up and he wasn't about to let the chance slip through his fingers!
If he did that, Seiya knew he would never have been able to forgive himself. In fact, right there ahead of him walked the woman who had captured his heart, along with her friends. He gladly noted that Haruka was not among them (the small fear that the woman would have walked Hotaru to and from school lingered in his mind from the incident last night; sure it wasn't very likely, but it could still happen).
His friends had caught up at this point and looked at the group ahead to their friend curiously-what would Seiya do? Smirking, he said to his friends quietly so that the girls wouldn't hear, "I guess if I can't flip all skirts this morning, I can get one at least."
Wearing a nice smile, he briskly walked to the group, looking back at Yaten and Taiki when Yaten spoke, "And to think that flipping skirts was a outdated."
"I doubt it," replied Taiki with a sigh, "It's always in with people who have one track minds."
"Agreed." Seiya glared at Yaten at that point, but turned back to the girls and went on with his on the spot plan.
"And then what did he do?" Minako demanded, the first bit of conversation Seiya heard when he got close enough.
"Well," Hotaru said, regretting the fact she started to talk about this with them in such a public place. Who knew what kind of sick people listened in on conversations like this and got the wrong idea? Most of all, she was embarrassed over the topic itself and would rather have it not spoken of at all at school-word spread fast there and if one was created from this, Hotaru would never hear the end of it. "Well, he kissed me."
Several of the girls gave a sigh; Rei sighed, "Just like a man to make the first move."
"But it's so cool! Hotaru-chan's first kiss!" Makoto said with a sigh as she gazed in a far off way. "I remember my first kiss."
"You do, Mako?" Usagi said, looking at her friend curiously. "What was it like?"
"What was your first kiss like, Usagi-chan?" Makoto countered, looking at her blond friend in a sly way. Usagi promptly blushed and gave no reply, this only caused the rest to laugh.
"Ah, and what is so funny this gloomy morning, ladies?" Seiya said, taking the moment to let his presence know to them. The girls stopped laughing when they heard him speak and paused to look back at him as Seiya gave a grin.
"Nothing that involves you!" said Minako giving him an odd look. Makoto poked her in the rips with her elbow; the other girl's words just yelled, "It practically was all about you!" Thankfully, Seiya just gave a confused smile and looked over at Hotaru, his smile growing slightly.
"And how are you this morning, Hotaru?"
His words were teasing and she tried her best not to blush but failed and mumbled out a, "I'm doing alright."
Seiya's grin widened, "Why that is good, but it would be going bad if we don't all start walking and get to school soon, or we'll all be late."
"LATE!" Usagi and Minako cried out in unison. "We can't be late!"
With out another warning the two where off, running as fast as they could leaving the rest in the dust. Ami sighed, mumbling something about the times during junior high when they were always late to class.
The rest just sighed, while Seiya was confused for just a moment before giving a small grin. They started up walking once more, with Hotaru and Seiya slightly behind the rest of the girls, though, by that time Yaten and Taiki had been spotted and were forced to walk with them.
Hotaru tried her best to keep her face neutral while around him, but on the inside, everything was all twisting into knots. The memory of their kiss seemed suddenly too fresh, too vivid and the need to blush was almost too much for her to hold in.
Then, out of no where, came a fast strong wind, coming from her right she noted after ward, where the street was. But it was enough to lift her skirt high, giving Seiya a very nice view of what was underneath. Sure, he had flipped her skirt dozens of times, but he just never seen what was there, and so his face was just as bright as her own, until anger settled in.
Anger at the one on the bicycle that had done that to her. When only he was allowed to do so. And he would get his revenge.
