Chapter Ten
Seleine P.O.V.
"Come to see me?" I asked Usagi.
Her eyes lit up when she got a good look at me. This is the first time she has seen me when I wasn't Princess Seleine. She looked rifled up and scared still. I woke up from the peaceful bliss I was momentarily in and remembered our situation. I looked at the men that had jumped them. They won't be out for too much longer. I knelt down by Seiya and looked at his wounds.
"How did you find me?" I asked looking up at her.
She blinked at me. She started sputtering and finally said, "I didn't. Seiya did."
"Sneaky, sneaky Starlight," I say. I slide my hands underneath his back and legs. I lift him up and turn to walk down the alley. When I don't hear footsteps following me, I turn my head to make sure she is still there.
"Aren't you coming?" I asked her.
She blinks at me and slowly follows me through the alley. We get out of the alley and turn to head into the club. The music is pulsing and the strobe lights flicker to life. The sexual energy was daring me to go into the crowd and find my next prey. I remember what I was doing and decide against it.
I walked to the bar and told the bartender we were going to the VIP room and to not let anyone in there. The bartender nodded and let us through.
We walked back to the VIP room only to find the room was already in use. I tell everyone to get out and move out of the way for their exit. The people started to protest but when they see who I am they think better than to argue with me.
When they left I put Seiya on the table. Usagi closed the door after everyone left. I took one of the plush pillows on the couch and put it under his head.
"Why did those people just leave like that?" Usagi asked me.
I was about to answer her question when there was a knock at the door. I went to the door and opened it enough to see it was one of the bartenders.
"Lena, there is someone at the bar asking for you," she said.
I turned to Usagi and told her I would be right back and to stay here. I walked out of the room and followed the bartender to the bar. The police were there talking to one of my bartenders. The men that jumped Usagi and Seiya were behind them.
"What is this about?" I ask.
The officer just looked at me. "We want to talk to the owner little miss," he says to me then turns back to the bartender.
"Well, you're looking at her. Now tell me what the problem is," I say irritated.
He turns back to me and takes a closer look. "How old are you?" He asks me.
"I realize that I look young but I am in fact twenty-five years of age, " I say insulted. "Now I have to ask again. What is the problem?"
"We found these men in the alley. They were knocked out when we found them. Do you recognize them?" He asks me. I briefly look at them and look back at the officer.
"I do. They attacked my friends," I explain.
The officer looks at me. He was shocked that I told him the truth. "Can we speak with them?" He asks.
"You can see him but you won't be talking to him," I say turning on my heel.
"And why not?" The officer questions me.
I turn to him. "One because he is a minor. Two because those delinquents beat him to a pulp. He is still currently knocked out. They also robbed him I will have you know," I say turning on my heal.
They don't say another word but follow me to the VIP room. I open the door to see Usagi holding Seiya's hand. I turn to the police and wait for them to say something. The officer clears his throat and backs out of the doorway. I close the door and turn to him.
"There is a camera that caught everything if you don't believe me," I say.
"That will not be necessary. It appears that your story checks out," he says. "Sorry to bother you. We will be on our way."
I follow them to the door and watch them leave. I walk back to the bar and see the men that attacked Usagi and Seiya are still here.
I walk over to them and clear my throat. They turn to look at me and when they realize who I am they get scared.
"Get out of my club," I spit at them. They walk around me and head for the door. "And if I ever catch you near them or my club again, I will cut off your favorite appendage."
Their eyes get huge, and they run out of my club. I turn to the manager and tell her to keep an eye out for them. She nods her head. I walk to the sink behind the bar and pour a glass of water.
I walk back into the VIP room to find Seiya awake. Usagi is still holding his hand but pulls away when she sees me. Seiya looks wounded as she pulls away. I clear my throat and walk over to the other side of the table. I hand him the glass of water and watch him down it. I grab the glass and put it on another table.
"How are you feeling?" I ask him.
"I've been better," he says. He looks up at me and studies me for a moment. "Usagi told me what you did for us. Thank you for saving us, Seleine."
"It's my job to protect Usagi and the senshi. That includes the Starlights," I said touching his shoulder. He smiles up at me. I pull my hand away and turn around. "Now, how about you tell me how you found me." I start to pour him another glass of water.
"I only found you on accident," he says. I turn back around and quirk an eyebrow at him. He downs that glass of water just as fast at the last. "I was looking up clubs that minors are allowed to go in. I have been getting sick of the ones I have been going to. I stumbled upon yours and read an article about how you are the youngest club owner in Japan. I also found a picture of you and thought you looked a lot like Princess Seleine.
"You are Princess Seleine right? Now that I look at you, your eyes are grey," he says blushing.
I chuckle at his innocence. "It's been so long since someone so innocent has talked to me," I say. Seiya looks at me and starts sputtering. His face turns a deeper red that makes me laugh. "Yes, I am she. But I would prefer it if you call me Lena when I'm not Princess Seleine."
I smile and look down at my watch. My eyes go round when I see what time it is.
"We should probably get you guys home. Come on. Let's go," I say walking out the door. I walk to the bar and ask for my keys. They hand me my car keys and I turn around to see Usagi and Seiya watching someone enter. I look up at the door and see Yaten and Taiki walk down to the dance floor and spot us. They look at Usagi and Seiya, and then at me. They look at me for a moment before realization sets in. Fury invokes their faces and they walk towards us. A small smile plays at my lips when they reach us.
"I see that all of the Starlights have found me and now know who I am. Welcome," I say. Yaten launches a fist at my face. For a moment I wonder if I should let him hit me. But then I think of where we are. I catch his fist and twist it behind and up his back.
Taiki moved to strike me but Usagi got in his way. Immediately after Seiya stepped in front of Usagi.
"Is this any way to treat the person that saved your lives?" Seiya asks.
"She's the reason our lives were in danger!" Yaten yells.
I look up and notice that we are being watched.
"How about we take this back to the VIP room where no one can hear us?" I suggest to the group.
I let Yaten go and wait a minute for him to calm down before turning to go to the VIP room. We all walk inside and as soon as I turn around Taiki grabs my throat and pushes me against the door.
"Taiki! Stop!" Seiya yells prying him off of me.
"Why are you defending her Seiya?" Taiki interrogates.
Seiya stops for a moment. He doesn't break eye contact with them. "I'm defending her because she is going to save the world and us."
Michiru P.O.V.
I storm out of the room in a fury. I can't believe what I just heard. Does she think I'm an idiot? I could never give up Haruka. How dare she even think I would consider this? Is it too much to ask that she leaves us for good? We can handle this battle on our own. We don't need her.
I hadn't realized that I walked all the way back home till I walk around the mansion and jump into the ocean. The feeling of cold salty water pulses around my skin. I kick my feet until my legs burn. I push my arms through the water until they can no longer move. I swim for miles and miles before I get out of the water. The smell of salt water consumes me. I like the feeling the water gives me after a stressful day.
I'm tempted to go back in but look at the sunset and think better of it. I walk up the many steps back to the mansion. I walk through the back door and up to the shower that Haruka and I share.
I take my wet clothes off and turn on the shower. I'm in there for a total of five minutes before I hear the door open. I hear familiar footsteps walk up to the shower. The shower curtain slowly opens and in steps Haruka.
She wraps her arms around my waist and kisses my shoulder. I turn around and start kissing Haruka hard. She picks me up and pushes me against the wall.
I run my fingers over her shoulders and in her hair as she makes love to me. I could never let go of her. Never. I would rather die than lose her.
I gasp as Haruka snakes her hand up to my torso and grabs my throat. I don't mind that she chokes the life out of me. At least I feel something when she does that.
When she finishes, I wrap my hands around her face and kiss her. It was a soft kiss but enough of one to send tremors through my body.
"I love you," I say breathlessly.
She looks at me and smiles. She pulls away and looks down. "I love you too," she says.
My heart instantly breaks. I'm no longer the one that holds her heart. I could kill Seleine. It's because of her that I am losing my soul mate. Back on the Moon Kingdom, we were told that our love was written in the stars. Was all of that a mistake?
I can't help but let the tears spill over my eyes when she steps out of the shower. I feel as if she just walked out of my life, not just the shower.
"No, you don't. I don't have your heart anymore. Do I?" I ask.
It's quiet for a moment. But only for a moment. Then I hear the door close. My whole entire life just walked out the door. I start sobbing and can't find a reason in the world to stop. I can't remember when I stopped or got out, but I was crying for hours.
Hey guys I am so sorry I am such a bad writer. It has been too long since I updated. I wasn't entirely sure what to do with this chapter but I think I did an okay job. I just graduated High School and am getting ready to go to college for creative writing. I hope this gives me the practice I need. I have not forgotten about this story, and I will be updating more! - J
