Chapter Seven
Out in the hallway, the group of six were smiling at each other with a kind of self satisfaction.
"It would seem that your plan worked, Minako-san," Taiki said.
"Hai, so it would seem, Taiki-san," the blonde woman replied. She didn't see the4 silver haired man slide up next to her until she heard a whisper in her ear.
"You sang beautifully."
Minako jumped and turned to the speaker turning a slight shade of red. She blushed even deeper when she stared into Yaten's beautiful peridot green eyes and realized just how close the silver haired man was to her.
"Um……ar…..arigatō, Yaten-kun," she stammered.
"Your face….I can't believe it. It's so…..so…." Yaten looked as if her was trying to find the perfect complementary word to describe her.
"It's what, Yaten-kun?" She breathlessly asked.
"Red." Yaten smirked. "it's as red as your hair bow!" He started laughing so hard that his eyes started to water. Taiki sighed and hung his head while Ami, Rei and Makoto watched with amusement as Minako's face went from bright red, to stark white, to dark red.
"Ano…….Ami-cha? That can't be good, can it?" Makoto asked the blue haired woman next to her. Ami just shook her head and looked from her friend to the tall man next to her.
"Gomen, Taiki-san, but I think you're about to loose a brother," Ami said to Taiki just as Rei whispered to Yaten, "I'd run if I were you, Yaten-kun."
"Huh?" Yaten stopped laughing and looked at Rei. "Nani………oh." He had glanced at Minako and took notice of the look on her face.
"Yaten……..kun!" Minako growled.
"Uh-oh….." and Yaten took off running down the hall, eyes flashing with a mixture or merriment and fear. He had a small smile on his face.
"BAKAYARŌ!" Minako finally exploded and ran after the short Starlight, threatening that he'd be lucky if he made it out of the theater alive. The others just hung their heads and sighed. Some things just never change. They all quickly looked up and down the hall in the direction of the chase when they heard a crash and Yaten cry out.
"OWWWWWWW!MY HAIR!"
"Looks like she caught him," Taiki said, trying to control his laughter.
"SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU LITTLE BAKAYARŌ!"
"I think this may go on for a while," Ami said. The others nodded in agreement.
)O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O(
"What the hell else did you expect, Minako?"
"Gee, I don't know…..I thought that maybe you grew up and maybe you learned some manners, Baka!"
"Look who's talking! You're chasing me like you're in grade school!"
Minako stopped what she was doing at the last outburst from the silver haired man.
"Gomen nasai, Yaten-kun," Minako said. Yaten stopped and spun around to look at the blonde haired woman as she in turned light red and looked at the ground. "You just provoke me sometimes, Yaten-kun. So it's just as much your fault that I act like this sometimes."
"Nani?" Yaten tilted his head to the side quizzically.
"You…….I don't know," Minako said, still looking at the ground. "You just seem to know the right buttons to push, Yaten-kun. Like you want me to get mad at you or something."
Yaten walked up to Minako and took her chin in his hand and tilted her head up until her cerulean blue eyes met his peridot green eyes. "Gomen ne, Minako-chan. Demo…." He scrunched up his face in thought for a moment. "I like you, dammit! I like you a lot. And I really don't know how else to express it except……"
"Except….what, Yaten-kun?" Minako asked softly.
Yaten slowly brought her face to his and captured her trembling lips into a soft, tentative kiss. Minako's eyes widened in surprise, then fluttered shut as she returned the kiss. A minute later they pulled apart and looked at each other, neither quite believing what was happening between them.
Minako slowly smiled. "Why didn't you just do that to begin with? It would have saved us both a lot of trouble and you some hair pulling."
"But I like to have my hair pulled, if it's done the right way," Yaten pouted.
"Humph! We may just have to test that theory," Minako said mischievously, walking back to the group.

"I've missed you too, Odango," Seiya whispered on top the golden blonde hair that he loved so much. As they pulled apart from their hug, Usagi surprised him by kissing him on the cheek. Seiya's eyes widened in surprise at her boldness.
Usagi sat up on the couch and motioned for him to get up off the floor and sit beside her. Once he was settled on the couch, she turned and faced the man she secretly loved.
"When did you get back?"
"At the beginning of the week. Minako-chan and Ami-chan met us."
"How did I know that Minako had something to do with this!"
"Did you really have any doubt?" Seiya smirked.
"No, not really," Usagi smiled. "I really did miss you, Seiya."
"So did I. Actually, I wanted to tell you something that I've been meaning to for a while," Seiya was a little nervous and shaky. "Odango, I-" He was cut off by the door flying open and Minako walking in with a huge grin on her face.
'Shimatta!' Usagi thought. 'Now I'll never know what he was going to tell me. Baka Minako!'
'Shimatta!' Seiya thought. 'I lost the chance to tell, again. How many times have I come so close to confessing to her how I feel? This is getting ridiculous! Baka Minako!'
"Why are you so happy, Minako-chan?" Usagi asked her beaming blonde friend.
"I'm just admiring how my evil plan worked so well. Now come on, we're all starving! Mako-chan invited all of us to her restaurant," Minako said, dragging both Usagi and Seiya off the couch. As if on cue, there was a loud rumbling heard coming from both of their stomachs.
"Ha! Just as I thought. Hayaku!" Minako said, pushing the two senshi out the door.

Oh! don't you just want to smack Minako-chan for the awful timing? Muwahahahahahaha...ahem...um...cough. I hope you don't hate me to much for this chapter :ducks from flying vegtables: If you want a little fun...go check out my new story called 'The Box'. It just has the Starlights and its a One Shot...but its fluff and sometimes you just need it.
