Chapter 6
Sorry it's been a while since I last updated, but I'm back with a really long chapter! I hope you like it, please R&R. Amara, xxx
Amara awoke to the sun streaming through her bedroom window. She climbed out of bed sleepily, and headed to the bathroom. After taking a shower and dressing, she went downstairs to the kitchen.
Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru were seated round the kitchen table, drinking tea and gossiping.
"Morning, sunshine!" Michelle said over-cheerfully.
"Morning." Amara replied.
"There's some pancakes on the side for you." Trista informed her.
"You didn't make them, did you, Trista?" Amara asked, and Hotaru giggled.
"No, I didn't." Trista retorted.
"Good, then its safe to eat them then." Amara laughed.
She picked up the plate of pancakes, while Trista glared at her. She sat down at the table, and began to eat them.
"So." Michelle began. "What about you and Seiya then?"
Amara looked at her. "Well." she started. "He likes me, so we're going somewhere today."
"Come on Amara, 'fess up. You like him too." Michelle said. Amara blushed, and continued to eat quietly, not looking at Michelle. She finished eating the pancakes.
"You know questions like that are hard for me to answer, Mich." Amara paused. "But. yes. I. I like Seiya." Michelle grinned.
"See, that wasn't too hard, was it?" Amara shrugged, and got up to go and brush her teeth.
Shortly after Amara had gone upstairs, the doorbell rang, and Michelle went to answer it.
"Hi, Seiya." She greeted him.
"Morning, Michelle." He replied and smiled. "Is Amara in?" He asked, and Michelle could tell that he was nervous. 'Aww, bless him.' She thought. 'He's nervous about taking her out.'
"Yes, she's upstairs, she should be down in a minute." Michelle said and led Seiya into the kitchen. "I hear you're taking her out today." Michelle said.
"Yeah." Seiya nodded.
"You look nervous." Hotaru told him. "Are you?"
"I'm not nervous." He said. "Well, maybe a little." he added.
Amara came downstairs, and saw Seiya in the kitchen.
"Morning." She said, blushing slightly.
"Morning." He replied.
"Are you guys giving him the third degree in here?" She asked.
"No, we're not." Trista said.
" Yeah, right. Want to go through to the living room to talk?" Amara asked.
"Sure." Seiya replied.
"Michelle, no eavesdropping." Amara said.
"Awww, you spoil all my fun." Michelle moaned.
Amara led Seiya through to the living room, and they both sat down.
"So, what do you want to do today?" Seiya asked her.
"I don't really mind."
"We could go to the park if you want, it's a nice day." He suggested and she nodded.
"Somewhere where we can talk and not be annoyed by all the girls, like we normally are." He smiled as she said this.
"Yeah, everywhere I go, they're there. It's like they have some sort of "Seiya-radar" or something like that." Amara laughed.
"That's so true, they always seem to seek you out."
"So, does the park sound good to you?" he asked.
"Yup, shall we go?" He nodded, and they left the house.
They started walking towards the park. It was strange for Amara to be walking, since she almost always took her car or bike. They walked in silence for a while, neither knowing what to say, but neither would ever admit that, even to themselves. Seiya finally broke the silence.
"It's a lovely day, isn't it?"
Amara smiled and replied, "It is."
"Perfect day for a picnic, huh?" She smiled and nodded, as Seiya stopped by a car parked near the park. He unlocked the car, and took out a blanket and a picnic basket, before locking the car again.
"You made a picnic?" Amara asked him.
"Yup." Seiya nodded and smiled. They started walking towards the park again, and Seiya timidly took her hand. Amara noticed that he was really tense, tenser than she had ever seen him. She smiled at him, and squeezed his hand gently, to try and get him to relax.
"It's ok," She assured him. "I like you holding my hand." The words came out before she knew she'd said them.
"Really?!" he asked, and she nodded. "Was that a confession, Amara?" He asked.
She blushed. "Umm. maybe." He smiled at her. She noticed that he was still quite tense. "Seiya, what's wrong?" She asked. "You're still really tense."
"I'm sorry I'm so tense. The truth is, I've been up half the night just trying to think of what to say. I don't want to put on a facade with you, like I always do to everyone else. I want you to get to know the real me. Seiya Kou from the "Three Lights" and I are quite different, and I put that façade on most of the time. I tend to act up a bit when I know people are watching me. But when I'm with you I feel that I don't need to do that, and it scares me." He explained. 'I can't believe I just confessed all that to her' he thought. She looked at him.
"Seiya, just be yourself, you baka." She took a deep breath, and confessed: "You know I like you a lot, and that makes me kind of nervous too, but I think that we both need to relax if we want to enjoy being together." She said, and smiled at him. 'Well, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.' She thought.
"You're getting good at this confessing thing, you know." He told her.
"Yeah, well, don't get used to it." She mock glared at him.
"Whatever." He said and smiled. He pulled her a little closer as they entered the park. They walked round the park for a while, talking, until they found a nice spot for their picnic.
Afterwards, they sat on the blanket together, in the sun. Seiya moved closer to her, putting an arm around her. She smiled, and leaned into his embrace.
They sat like that for a while, unaware that the girls were watching them.

"How come she gets Seiya?" Lita whined. "Its not fair!"
"Come on you guys, we shouldn't be watching them." Michelle said.
"But. I want to see what they do!" Mina whined.
"You want to see what they'll do if they find out that we were watching them?" Trista asked.
"I doubt that we'd survive too long." Hotaru said.
"I want to stay and watch!" Serena said.
"Fine, you guys stay, I'm going to go and find something else to do." Michelle said, while getting up off the ground. Trista and Hotaru followed suit.
***
Amara and Seiya sat talking until dusk, by which time the inner senshi had got bored, and left to find something else to do.
Amara shivered slightly, as it was getting colder.
"Do you have to go home for dinner?" Seiya asked her.
"No, if I'm not home, Michelle won't cook for me."
"Oh, ok."
"Why, what do you have in mind?" She inquired.
"I thought that we could maybe go somewhere for dinner, if you liked." She smiled and him, and nodded.
"I'd like that." She said.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked her, looking into her eyes.
"I don't mind. Know anywhere good?" He touched her cheek.
"Anywhere's good when I'm with you." He replied. She knew that he was being sincere, and she blushed.
"We could walk around near the seafront, and see if we see anything good." Seiya suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Amara replied.
"Well, lets go then." Seiya stood up, and offered a hand to help her up. She took the proffered hand, and he gathered the basket and blanket, before putting an arm around her. She leaned into him, shivering again.
"Cold?" Seiya asked her.
"A little." She replied.
"There's a jacket in my car. You can use it, because it'll be colder down at the seafront."
"Thank you." She said and nodded. They began to walk back to Seiya's car.
When they arrived there, Seiya opened the door for her as she got in, and closed it after her.
"I'm not used to chivalry." She told him as he got in the driver's seat, and started the car.
"Do you like it?" he asked her.
"It's nice, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to." She told him, and smiled.
"I want to though." He told her
"Well then, feel free to do it as often as you like then.
They pulled up to a car park close to the waterfront. After parking, Seiya got out of the car, and got his other jacket from the back seat. He opened her door for her, offering her a hand to help her out. She blushed, accepting it. He helped her on with the jacket before shutting the door, and locking his car.
"Thank you." She said.
"You're welcome." He told her. They walked hand in hand along the waterfront t for a while, enjoying each others company, until they found a small restaurant. They went in only to find all the inner senshi sat at a table.
"Amara! Seiya!" Serena called.
"Damn, they saw us." Amara muttered to Seiya, who just smirked.
"Come sit with us!" Serena called to them.
"Umm. Girls." Amy spoke up. "Don't you think that they might like to sit alone?" She said.
"Thank you, Amy." Seiya muttered. Amara smiled. Seiya nodded in agreement with what Amy had said. "Yes, we want to sit alone so that we can talk." He told them, Amara nodding in agreement.
"But you've been talking all day!" Mina said.
"Yea, we saw you!" Serena added.
"What?!" Amara asked. "Were you girls spying on us?" She asked.
"Well." Serena said. Everyone blushed and hung their heads in shame. Amara sighed. She turned to Seiya and said:
"Come on, let's go to our table." She started to lead Seiya there.
"Wait!" Lita said. "We're sorry."
"Oh?" Seiya asked.
"We are." The rest of them replied.
"Whatever." Amara replied, and practically dragged Seiya to their table, mumbling about how annoying the girls are. Seiya just grinned at her, and shook his head in disbelief.
"What?" she asked him.
"Nothing." He said. She pouted at him, and he laughed. She poked him playfully, as he pulled out her chair for her. She sat with her head in her hands, pissed off that the inners had been watching them. Seiya reached over from his seat opposite her, and touched her cheek.
"Seems we can't get any time alone, ne?" He said. "Lets just forget they're here." She nodded in reply.
They ordered their food, and ate, enjoying a few glasses of wine each, and talking about various things, mainly bitching about the inners, and trying to ignore the fact that the inners were still staring at them. Amara and Seiya sat holding hands over the table while they were talking, and Amara had to admit, she liked it when Seiya was being romantic to her, but she would never admit that to anyone but herself.
"They're not very discrete, are they?" Amara laughed.
"Nope." Seiya answered. "What's so interesting about us that they feel they have to watch, anyway?"
"I don't know." She answered, feeling uneasy because she was being watched.
"Want to go and find somewhere where they aren't there?" Seiya asked. Amara nodded. Seiya got up of his chair. Amara handed him some money from her wallet to pay for her meal. Seiya shook his head.
"Don't be stupid." He told her. "I'll pay for you."
"Seiya."
"No, Amara. When I take you out, I pay for you." With that he walked off, and went to pay. She glared after him, although, inside she was flattered that he had done that, but she wouldn't tell him.
She watched him stop at the girls' table.
***
"Girls, must you keep staring at us, constantly?" He asked, pissed off. They'd never really seen him pissed off before, and they all looked scared.
"We're sorry, Seiya, we are!" Mina said.
"You said that last time, and yet, you still kept staring at us." He said through gritted teeth, not really wanting to cause a scene in the restaurant. "Amara and I are going to go somewhere quiet, and I don't want you girls to follow us, or watch us, or anything like that."
"Ok Seiya, we won't try and find you." Serena said, sniffling a little. "We're sorry." She said, almost crying.
"Would you like it if everyone followed you and Darien on a date, Serena?" He asked.
"No." She said, sniffling some more.
"Then please don't do it to me and Amara."
"Ok then." All of them were sniffling a little.
"Girls, don't start to cry."
"We're sorry Seiya." Rei said.
"Ok. see ya." He walked back to where Amara was sitting.
"Ready to go?" She asked him. He nodded, and took a deep breath, trying to cool off a little. He helped her with 'her' jacket, and took her hand as they left, completely avoiding the inners table. They walked hand in hand to another park, and sat down on a bench. Seiya put his arm around Amara.
"What did you say to the girls?" Amara asked him.
"I asked them for some privacy." He said. "I feel really guilty now, because I kind of lost my temper with them, and Serena looked like she was going to start crying."
"You made her cry?" She asked.
"If she started to cry, you'd have known about it, you would have heard her a mile off."
"True. Still, I think you might not be flavour of the month again for a while."
"That's a good thing though, isn't it?"
"Probably is!" She laughed. He pulled her closer, and gently brushed his lips against hers.
"I've been wanting to do this all day." he whispered kissing her again. She kissed him back, savouring it. He moved from her lips, and kissed her cheekbone, near her earlobe, and smiled as she shuddered beneath him and sighed.
"That a sensitive spot?" he whispered, his breath ticking her ear and neck. She nodded.
"I never knew it was until now." She shuddered as he kissed the same spot again.
"I'll have to remember that." he whispered. He looked into her eyes, and brushed her hair off her face, before kissing her again, more passionately this time. She returned the kiss with as much passion, their tongues dancing together. He pulled away from her, breathless.
"Wow." he breathed. She blushed. "Kissing is so much better when you really like the person you're kissing."
"That's because I'm a really really good kisser, Seiya." She joked, and laughed. "No, really, that was. wow." she was at a loss of words to describe it. They sat and kissed for a while longer, before cuddling each other. Not much was said between them, as Amara sat with her head against his chest. She could hear his breathing, and his heartbeat. Nothing needed to be said, they were content just to be in each other's arms.
His voice sounded really loud to her, as he broke the silence.
"I like being with you, like this." She smiled and nodded, blushing a little, and he kissed her forehead.
"Me too." she whispered, almost inaudibly, gently caressing his side. She stifled a yawn. "What time is it?" She asked.
"Whoa, its almost midnight." He said after looking at his watch.
"Seiya, you baka! You kept me out past my bedtime!" He just kissed her forehead again in reply.
He yawned as well.
"Come on then, I'll take you home." He stood up with her, holding her close as they walked back to his car.
When they arrived at her house, they both got out of the car and walked to her front door.
"Thank you for today." She told him. "I had a really good time." She smiled.
"I did too." He said, and moved to kiss her. They kissed on the doorstep for a few minutes. They were so engrossed in each other, that they didn't even notice the door open. Then inners, Darien, two of the Three Lights, and their princess were all leaving the outers home.
"Why'd you save all the good stuff for when we'd gone?" Mina asked. Amara and Seiya stopped kissing, and looked round, blushing.
"Umm." Seiya trailed off. Kakyuu giggled at him.
"I don't think I've ever seen you blush before, Seiya." Kakyuu said, giggling.
"You guys have the worst timing." He said, still holding Amara. Everyone just grinned at them.
"Well, I suppose we'd better get going." Taiki said. Yaten nodded.
"Yea, now that our ride home's finally arrived." Yaten said, looking at Seiya.
"All right. Goodnight, Amara." He said and kissed her check. She gave him his jacket back.
"Thank you." She whispered to him. "Goodnight, and drive carefully!"
"I will!" he said, and got in the car. The inners had already started walking. She watched Seiya drive off, sighed, and smiled.
"Looks like someone's falling in love!" Michelle commented.
"I am not!" Amara said.
"I think you are." Hotaru said.
"We saw the way you looked after him when he drove off." Trista told her.
"You're falling for him hard and fast, Amara." Michelle told her.
"I'm going to go to bed now, night." She said, wanting to get away from this conversation. She walked in and up to her room. She got into bed. 'I can't be falling in love already, can I?' she thought to herself. 'Well, he does make me feel happy, and kind of strange inside, like a fluttering feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I know I really like him, and he's really attractive. maybe this is what love is like.' She thought as she fell asleep.
***
Seiya, Yaten, Taiki and Kakyuu sat in the car, as Seiya drove home.
"I've never seen you like this with any other girl before, Seiya." Taiki said. Seiya didn't reply.
"I think someone's falling in love!" Kakyuu said.
"I can't be, not yet!" Seiya said. "Can I?" he asked.
"Love's a crazy thing, Seiya." Kakyuu told him.
***
Later on, Seiya, too, pondered whether he was falling in love as he fell asleep.
Whoah!!! That was long. Longest chapter yet I think! Anyways, I hope you liked it! Please don't forget to R&R! Love, Amara, xxx
Sorry it's been a while since I last updated, but I'm back with a really long chapter! I hope you like it, please R&R. Amara, xxx
Amara awoke to the sun streaming through her bedroom window. She climbed out of bed sleepily, and headed to the bathroom. After taking a shower and dressing, she went downstairs to the kitchen.
Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru were seated round the kitchen table, drinking tea and gossiping.

She said, and smiled at him. 'Well, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.' She thought.

Amara and Seiya sat talking until dusk, by which time the inner senshi had got bored, and left to find something else to do.
Amara shivered slightly, as it was getting colder.
"Do you have to go home for dinner?" Seiya asked her.
"No, if I'm not home, Michelle won't cook for me."
"Oh, ok."
"Why, what do you have in mind?" She inquired.
"I thought that we could maybe go somewhere for dinner, if you liked." She smiled and him, and nodded.

"Cold?" Seiya asked her.
"A little." She replied.
"There's a jacket in my car. You can use it, because it'll be colder down at the seafront."
"Thank you." She said and nodded. They began to walk back to Seiya's car.
When they arrived there, Seiya opened the door for her as she got in, and closed it after her.
"I'm not used to chivalry." She told him as he got in the driver's seat, and started the car.
"Do you like it?" he asked her.
"It's nice, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to." She told him, and smiled.
"I want to though." He told her
"Well then, feel free to do it as often as you like then.
They pulled up to a car park close to the waterfront. After parking, Seiya got out of the car, and got his other jacket from the back seat. He opened her door for her, offering her a hand to help her out. She blushed, accepting it. He helped her on with the jacket before shutting the door, and locking his car.
"Thank you." She said.
"You're welcome." He told her. They walked hand in hand along the waterfront t for a while, enjoying each others company, until they found a small restaurant. They went in only to find all the inner senshi sat at a table.
"Amara! Seiya!" Serena called.
"Damn, they saw us." Amara muttered to Seiya, who just smirked.
"Come sit with us!" Serena called to them.
"Umm. Girls." Amy spoke up. "Don't you think that they might like to sit alone?" She said.
"Thank you, Amy." Seiya muttered. Amara smiled. Seiya nodded in agreement with what Amy had said. "Yes, we want to sit alone so that we can talk." He told them, Amara nodding in agreement.
"But you've been talking all day!" Mina said.
"Yea, we saw you!" Serena added.
"What?!" Amara asked. "Were you girls spying on us?" She asked.

"Then please don't do it to me and Amara."
"Ok then." All of them were sniffling a little.
"Girls, don't start to cry."
"We're sorry Seiya." Rei said.
"Ok. see ya." He walked back to where Amara was sitting.
"Ready to go?" She asked him. He nodded, and took a deep breath, trying to cool off a little. He helped her with 'her' jacket, and took her hand as they left, completely avoiding the inners table. They walked hand in hand to another park, and sat down on a bench. Seiya put his arm around Amara.
"What did you say to the girls?" Amara asked him.
"I asked them for some privacy." He said. "I feel really guilty now, because I kind of lost my temper with them, and Serena looked like she was going to start crying."
"You made her cry?" She asked.
"If she started to cry, you'd have known about it, you would have heard her a mile off."
"True. Still, I think you might not be flavour of the month again for a while."
"That's a good thing though, isn't it?"
"Probably is!" She laughed. He pulled her closer, and gently brushed his lips against hers.
"I've been wanting to do this all day." he whispered kissing her again. She kissed him back, savouring it. He moved from her lips, and kissed her cheekbone, near her earlobe, and smiled as she shuddered beneath him and sighed.
"That a sensitive spot?" he whispered, his breath ticking her ear and neck. She nodded.
"I never knew it was until now." She shuddered as he kissed the same spot again.
"I'll have to remember that." he whispered. He looked into her eyes, and brushed her hair off her face, before kissing her again, more passionately this time. She returned the kiss with as much passion, their tongues dancing together. He pulled away from her, breathless.
"Wow." he breathed. She blushed. "Kissing is so much better when you really like the person you're kissing."
"That's because I'm a really really good kisser, Seiya." She joked, and laughed. "No, really, that was. wow." she was at a loss of words to describe it. They sat and kissed for a while longer, before cuddling each other. Not much was said between them, as Amara sat with her head against his chest. She could hear his breathing, and his heartbeat. Nothing needed to be said, they were content just to be in each other's arms.
His voice sounded really loud to her, as he broke the silence.
"I like being with you, like this." She smiled and nodded, blushing a little, and he kissed her forehead.
"Me too." she whispered, almost inaudibly, gently caressing his side. She stifled a yawn. "What time is it?" She asked.
"Whoa, its almost midnight." He said after looking at his watch.
"Seiya, you baka! You kept me out past my bedtime!" He just kissed her forehead again in reply.
He yawned as well.
"Come on then, I'll take you home." He stood up with her, holding her close as they walked back to his car.
When they arrived at her house, they both got out of the car and walked to her front door.
"Thank you for today." She told him. "I had a really good time." She smiled.
"I did too." He said, and moved to kiss her. They kissed on the doorstep for a few minutes. They were so engrossed in each other, that they didn't even notice the door open. Then inners, Darien, two of the Three Lights, and their princess were all leaving the outers home.
"Why'd you save all the good stuff for when we'd gone?" Mina asked. Amara and Seiya stopped kissing, and looked round, blushing.
"Umm." Seiya trailed off. Kakyuu giggled at him.
"I don't think I've ever seen you blush before, Seiya." Kakyuu said, giggling.
"You guys have the worst timing." He said, still holding Amara. Everyone just grinned at them.
"Well, I suppose we'd better get going." Taiki said. Yaten nodded.
"Yea, now that our ride home's finally arrived." Yaten said, looking at Seiya.
"All right. Goodnight, Amara." He said and kissed her check. She gave him his jacket back.
"Thank you." She whispered to him. "Goodnight, and drive carefully!"
"I will!" he said, and got in the car. The inners had already started walking. She watched Seiya drive off, sighed, and smiled.
"Looks like someone's falling in love!" Michelle commented.
"I am not!" Amara said.
"I think you are." Hotaru said.
"We saw the way you looked after him when he drove off." Trista told her.
"You're falling for him hard and fast, Amara." Michelle told her.
"I'm going to go to bed now, night." She said, wanting to get away from this conversation. She walked in and up to her room. She got into bed. 'I can't be falling in love already, can I?' she thought to herself. 'Well, he does make me feel happy, and kind of strange inside, like a fluttering feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I know I really like him, and he's really attractive. maybe this is what love is like.' She thought as she fell asleep.

Seiya, Yaten, Taiki and Kakyuu sat in the car, as Seiya drove home.
"I've never seen you like this with any other girl before, Seiya." Taiki said. Seiya didn't reply.
"I think someone's falling in love!" Kakyuu said.
"I can't be, not yet!" Seiya said. "Can I?" he asked.
"Love's a crazy thing, Seiya." Kakyuu told him.

Later on, Seiya, too, pondered whether he was falling in love as he fell asleep.
Whoah!!! That was long. Longest chapter yet I think! Anyways, I hope you liked it! Please don't forget to R&R! Love, Amara, xxx
