Makenai
Chapter 5 – Battle Royal & Doctor Yaten?
Haruka hung the phone up shaking with anger. 'Damn creep! I warned him.' She took a deep breath trying to control her temper. Her hands clenched and unclenched as she thought about what Rei-chan had told her.
"It makes no sense; Seiya-kun must have hurt her. Haruka-chan Usagi looked so sad sleeping there against Mamoru's headstone. Earlier when we saw her she looked almost happy but when I asked her about being okay she couldn't give me a straight answer."
Haruka ran a hand through her blonde hair in frustration as she paced around the room.
Michiru chose that moment to walk into the room. She glanced at her lover and saw the anger vibrating within her. Rather than asking outright she figured Haruka would tell her when she was ready.
"So who was on the phone?" Michiru thought maybe Haruka would spill.
"Rei-chan……and her reason for calling was not good either." Haruka took a deep breath trying to stay rational. "It seems that the creep hurt our princess." It was all she could bite out without putting her fist through something.
Michiru looked shocked. "Are you sure?" She waited for confirmation from Haruka.
"Rei seemed to be, and that is enough for me. I am going to look for the creep now. I warned him I would personally kill him and now I get to keep my promise." The grin on her face sent warning bells off in Michiru's head.
Michiru watched as Haruka hurried out the door whistling an angry tune. She thought about calling Seiya and giving him fair warning until she realized that she didn't have his number. Instead she hurried to the door hoping to catch up with Haruka.
Seiya had searched all over and was heading for Usagi's house. He was frustrated by the fact that he couldn't find her. He was a block up from her house when a shove from behind sent him tumbling to his knees. He jumped up quickly and turned around.
His eyes widened in shock; taking in a very angry Haruka. She stood there watching him smirking; her sleeves were rolled up and ready for action.
"What the hell was that for?" He glared at her waiting to see where this went.
"You know what that was for baka! I warned you and now I am going to kill you."
"She…she told you about that?" His stomach suddenly seemed filled with ice water. 'Would she tell Haruka?'
"Trust me I hear everything." Haruka popped her knuckles; getting ready to attack.
"Well you know….um…kissing her was the only way to stop her tirade." Seiya hoped his explanation helped some how.
"You kissed her!" The deadly calm of her voice did more to Seiya than anything else could have.
"You said you knew. What exactly were you talking about?" Seiya shook his head; this confrontation was not going well.
"I warned you yesterday that if you hurt her in any way I would kill you. Now you have given me the opportunity to fulfill that warning." The look in her eyes was filled with serious intent. There were going to be no more words.
Seiya took a step back preparing for her attack. 'I have never fought with a girl before. Do I take it easy on her?' His misconception cost him dearly. Her punch connected with his jaw sending him flying backwards. He was immediately on the defensive.
Haruka smiled as she watched her punch knock him backwards almost off his feet. 'This is going to be easier than I thought.' Seiya straightened thinking quickly. 'Okay maybe if I piss her off she'll be distracted.' Thinking it was worth a shot he began.
"You know something Odango has the sweetest softest lips." He mentally grinned when her cheek twitched. Dodging a blow he decided this might work.
"Yeah and she sighed when I deepened the kiss." He was too busy smirking and missed the uppercut that knocked the air clean out of him. When he doubled over he wheezed.
"I guess that means she enjoyed it." The next time he was ready for her attack and he grabbed her arm using her own force against her.
Haruka's eyes widened with shock as she flipped through the air to land harshly on her back. Taking a deep breath she tried to draw air into her now empty lungs. Managing to get just enough air she jumped up and turned with her fist cocked.
Seiya held up his hand. "Enough already….you have no reason to be pissed just because she enjoyed my kiss." Haruka growled low in her throat.
"Baka I am not pissed because she enjoyed your kiss I am pissed because you hurt her and made her cry!" Haruka almost laughed to see Seiya's jaw drop open. She took advantage of his shock. Her punch caught him unaware and his eye immediately started swelling.
He could not believe she had hit him after uttering such nonsense. He waited for the right moment and threw his punch. He watched as blood trickled from her lip where it had slammed against her teeth.
When Haruka felt his punch connect with her mouth, her eyes widened in surprise. Throwing a hand up she swiped at her mouth only to come away with blood on her hand. She immediately saw red and tackled Seiya throwing them both to the ground.
Sitting on his stomach she prepared to beat him senseless. Her first shot connected with his nose and a sickening crunch could be heard. Blood started pouring out but Haruka didn't even notice.
She had just raised her fist again when she vaguely heard her name being called. Glancing around Haruka saw both Usagi and Michiru running towards her yelling.
Smiling her eyes wandered back down at the prone body before her. She glanced back at the two girls closing in on her. Her jaw dropped open when she noticed that they both looked very angry. Usagi reached her first and shoved her hard.
"Get off of him NOW! What do you think you are doing? She knelt next to Seiya as Haruka picked herself up. He didn't look too healthy at the moment.
"Seiya…Seiya?" She shook his shoulder gently. Haruka watched Usagi with surprise as she tried to help Seiya.
"Kitten, he made you cry! I was just fulfilling my promise. You have to understand I warned him against making you cry."
Usagi turned towards Haruka. "He did not make me cry! I felt bad for slapping him." When Haruka sucked in a breath Usagi glanced at her and then turned away. "We'll discuss this later."
Seiya's eyes slowly blinked open. "Odango? What happened?" He blinked trying to recall why he was lying on the ground hurting. Images flew through his mind and he sat up. "Haruka!" Dizziness assailed him with the quick motion.
It's alright I'll get you home." Usagi reached out and put her arm around him. "Do you think you could stand?" She helped him to his feet. When she stepped back for a moment he tottered and she moved back close to help support his weight.
Usagi glanced back to see a very angry Michiru lecturing a red faced Haruka. She grimaced knowing that if Haruka was red faced then Michiru's lecture must be pretty stern.
She followed Seiya's directions until she found his apartment building. Guiding him into the elevator she pushed the button and waited. When they made it to the apartment door she knocked loudly.
Taiki heard the knock and looked up surprised. No one knew where they lived so why someone would be knocking shocked him. Standing up he walked over and opened the door. Seeing Usagi supporting a very bruised and bleeding Seiya was quite the surprise and his jaw fell open.
"What happened?" He jumped to Seiya's other side taking some of Seiya's weight to help Usagi.
"Haruka and Seiya were fighting." She smiled gratefully at Taiki. "I think his nose is broken. I don't know exactly what brought it about except that I do know Haruka started it because she thought he made me cry." Through this whole speech they wrestled him into his bedroom and laid him on the bed.
Usagi sat on the edge of the bed looking at Seiya. His left eye was swollen shut and his nose was bruised and causing swelling in his right eye. "Do you have any ice? He really needs it." Taiki paused at the foot of the bed, glancing at Usagi's take charge attitude.
Yaten hearing voices coming from Seiya's room wandered to his door just in time to hear Taiki's reply.
"I think we do; let me check the refrigerator." Taiki turned heading towards the door.
"Check for what?" Yaten's voice startled both Usagi and Taiki. They turned at the same time waving Yaten into the room.
When Yaten walked in and saw Seiya on the bed his face was a mask of shock. His jaw hung open as he took in the damage to Seiya's face.
"What happened to him?" He glanced at Taiki first expecting an answer.
"Don't look at me. Talk to her, she brought him home this way." He smiled at Usagi winking at her.
"Haruka happened to him, but she doesn't look so hot herself." Usagi left it there for the moment. Holding up a hand to hold off Yaten's questions she glanced back at Taiki. "Ice, remember?" He looked momentarily stunned at the tone of her voice.
Yaten glanced back and forth between Usagi and Taiki wanting to laugh at their antics. "I'll go check for ice. You two keep an eye on him." He chuckled as he walked out of the room heading for the kitchen. Once there he pulled out a freezer bag and hurried over to the freezer. Pulling out ice cubes he thought about the pain Seiya was probably in. He dumped in quite a bit of ice, and headed for the bathroom. He gathered a hand towel to wrap the ice in and some pain medication. Dampening down the hand towel he wrapped it around the freezer bag. Having the healing skills of the bunch he knew Seiya was going to need the pain medication.
When he arrived back in Seiya's bedroom, both Usagi and Taiki sat talking quietly over Seiya's prone body. Yaten approached the bed and handed Usagi the ice.
"Now Seiya this is not going to feel very good. Taiki is probably going to have to hold you down. Usagi hold his hand." He approached Seiya's head and sat carefully. Seiya threw him a questioning look that needed no words.
"I am going to reset your nose. It is either I do it or we head for the Hospital and let them do it." He waited a moment for Seiya to decide.
Seiya shook his head before speaking. "Just get it done." Usagi picked up his hand and chafed it trying to stay calm.
Yaten placed both of his hands on each side of Seiya's nose and adjusted the bones until they were even, and with another horrible crunch Seiya's nose was straightened back out. He did not make a single noise the whole time and the pressure on Usagi's hand only tightened a bit.
Taiki glanced at Yaten and then at Seiya. Usagi picked up the freezer bag and gently placed it on Seiya's face.
"Here I think this will help." Her voice sounded papery thin and both Yaten and Taiki glanced at her. She was paler than a few moments before but other than that she seemed all right.
"Once this has sat for a bit we will give you some pain medication." She reached up and tenderly brushed his bangs back out of the way. The silence was interrupted when her stomach let out a loud growl. She blushed red and ducked her head.
"Odango is a great nurse. Why don't you two figure out dinner because I think someone is hungry? Usagi watched as Taiki and Yaten chuckled.
"I think we can figure it out." Taiki stood up from the other side of the bed and waved for Yaten to follow. "We'll call you when it's ready." They strolled out of the room leaving Seiya and Usagi alone together.
"Oi Odango, You know all of this is your fault." His words from under the ice pack were light and teasing, but he did not see the guilt that flashed across Usagi's face.
"I know that." Her voice sounded odd when she spoke but Seiya thought it was from watching the resetting of his nose.
"So how are you going to make it up to me? You owe me now don't you?" He smiled a bit despite the pain; thinking of ways to torture her.
"I'm sure I'll think of something. Okay time's up." She pulled off the ice pack to look at his face. It was not a pretty sight. "I'll be right back. You need something to take the medication with."
Hurrying from the room she went to the fridge and grabbed a soda. She smiled to see Taiki and Yaten fumbling through the fridge and cupboards. She went back into the room to find Seiya somewhat propped up waiting for her.
Usagi opened the soda and grabbed the medicine; twisting the cap off she pulled out two of the little white pills.
"These will probably make you sleepy, but they will help with the pain." She handed him the pills and the can of soda. He popped the pills in his mouth and washed them down with the soda. He set the can down on the bedside table and gazed intently at her.
"What?" She glanced at him not understanding his look.
"I haven't had the chance to thank you properly yet." He reached over and picked up her hand, running his thumb gently over the back of her hand. He watched as confusion filled her face.
"Thank me for what?" She watched him suspiciously for a moment wondering if the medicine had already kicked in.
"Thank you for helping me to get home and staying here to take care of me." He watched as she blushed faintly embarrassed.
"Your welcome but this is after all my fault." Usagi toyed with her ponytail guiltily. His eyes widened in surprise.
"What do you mean this is all your fault? It is more like Haruka's fault. I was teasing you earlier when I said that but since you feel guilty I have a big favor to ask of you." He yawned and she could see the painkillers taking effect. She waited to see what his favor was.
"Would you please stay here with me while I sleep?" Seiya gave her a puppy dog eyed look trying to convince her to stay……
When Yaten checked in later to announce dinner he smiled. Usagi was lying on the bed next to Seiya sound asleep and Seiya had possessively thrown his arm around her and pulled her close in his sleep.
Here is an end to Chapter 5. I hope you have enjoyed it please R & R and feel free to let me know what you think? I promise this next chapter there will be some Minako/Yaten goodness.
