Yaten´s performance. No bashing, yet. Promise!

-

Rei and Minako are in love with each other. Secretly, longingly, irreversibly. But there´s an even bigger problem than the possible intolerance of the others: Mina´s boyfriend Yaten.


You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away

The rain came down in sheets.

Minako lied on her bed and stared at the framed photograph in in her hands. It showed her together with Yaten on a sunny day at the Shiba Park. His right arm was around her waist, she leaned her head on his shoulder. Both were smiling. Minako smiled to herself. She had always loved this photograph because one single look in Yaten´s eyes, even if they were just on the photo, caused her heart to pound. She closed her eyes and expected to feel her heart full of warmth.

It wasn´t there.

Instead she felt a nervous feeling in her stomach, as if a warning announced that something was defintely wrong. But Minako ignored it.

She pressed her lips together and, still with closed eyes, remembered the last night with him. His muscular bare chest and the long silver bangs falling in front of his gorgeous green eyes.

Again she waited for the flutter in her chest and the excited feeling in her stomach. But nothing happend.

None of the signals she expected, of the signals she wished to be there. She opened her eyes and searched feverishly in her mind for indications that she still loved him, that he could still make her heart beat so fast that it hurts.

Again Minako closed her eyes, the vision of Yaten´s handsome face still in her mind. All of sudden her thoughts turned to a thing she convulsively tried to avoid. And the vison of him changed immediatly. His silver hair turned loose and black.His esmerald eyes had the wonderful shade of lavender and his features changed to a soft face that she loved and could trace with closed eyes. And there it was, the familiar pounding of her heart and in her head that made her forget everything about her sorrow and pain.

Minako´s eyes opened wide. And one single thought shoot through her mind.

No!

Minako just wanted to make sure, that she could still love Yaten while she also loved Rei. And if not, she wanted an answer, who she did love more. Now, as she got the answer, or thought she had it, she wished she wouldn´t know it.

Her blue eyes burned, announcing the tears that would fall now.

She stared down at Yaten´s face on the photograph but, blinded by the tears, she couldn´t locate his features or her own. There were just two pale spots surrounded by weak shades of gold and silver which seemed to be their hair.

The door slid open. A small white cat came in, hints of worry on it´s cute little face.

"Minako, there´s someone at the frontdoor."

Minako looked up, the tears glistening on her blushed cheeks. Artemis remained silent. He refused to ask, what had happened, because he was used to her melancholy and the phases when she sat alone in her room, crying because loneliness was nagging at her.

"Allright" she stood up and went down stairs, busy to wipe the tears away and not to smudge her mascara.

"Who´s there?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"Mina? It´s me, why don´t you take up the phone?" a female voice said.

Minako´s heart stopped. Rei!

She opened the door, and threw her arms around the raven-haired girl.

Rei was suprised by the stormy hug but contemporary glad to feel the warmth that was radiated by the blonde. She kissed Minakos forehead only causing the girl pressing tighter to her. Tiny drops of the wet umbrella in Rei´s hand fell on Minako´s feet. She took Rei´s hand and dragged her upstairs to her room.

"W...wait Mina-chan, I didn´t take my shoes o-"

"Never mind!"

Artemis heard voices and giggles from the corridor, but thought it were Minako and Yaten.

He looked for a place to hide, because Mina didn´t like him to be in her room when Yaten was visiting her. He jumped into her garderobe and hoped,in a few minutes he could get away inconspicuous. He didn´t want to be attestor of something he shouldn´t see. The voices and giggles were closer now.

The door flew open and he heard two bodies fall on the bed. Sweet giggles and brief kisses.

A soft moan. Then again kisses.

´Oh god,they come to business. just see that you get away here', he thought.

The tomcat stucked his head out of the garderobe to make sure, the two lovers didn´t notice him.

Then his eyes widened in shock.

He expected to see some bawdy scene but THAT was defintely something he could never imagine, even in his wildest dreams.

Instead of a shiny mess of light, blonde hair, gold and silver, there was a mess of long golden and black hair. And the two pairs of delicate legs belonged definetly to two girls. The cat did a few steps in front of the door, then turned the head and recognized by the school uniform the person, who´s hand was tangled in Minako´s long hair.

He stumbled on his paws to the door and quickly closed it from outside with his back. Artemis was so confused, by what he had discovered that he didn´t even notice the door bell ring. Instead, Minako´s mother did.

"Who´s there?" the fussy woman asked.

"Ara, Aino-san, it´s Yaten!"

"oh, Yaten-kun, come in, I will call Minako!"

"Please don´t, I wanna suprise her"

"Well...ok"

She gave him a proving look and went back to the kitchen, where she spent the most time of her frustrating housewife-life.

Yaten took his shoes off and climbed the stairs.

A.N: Yep, I decided to rewrite this story a bit, but don´t worry the plot will stay the same (I think).

Interested? Questions? Ideas? Then leave me a review ;)
