Chapter 9 – Save Me from Myself

Saturday – 7:30 pm- Sylia Stingray's Residence – Tokyo

Mackey knocked softly on his sister's bedroom door.

"Sylia, dinner is ready! Are you hungry?" he called to her through the door.

"Go away, Mackey! Please tell Henderson that I am not hungry!" he heard his sister yell to him, firmly.

Mackey sighed to himself. He was worried about his sister. It was never good when she locked herself in her room like this. He hoped she wasn't drinking again.

"Okay Sis, I'll tell him." Her brother called back to her, then turned and walked back into the dining room where Henderson and Nene were waiting.

His blonde girlfriend looked up at him expectedly.

"Well? Is she going to eat with us?" Nene asked.

"No. Sis told me she wasn't hungry." He told her sadly.

The young blonde woman had a thoughtful look cross her face. "Oh really..." she thought...She was going to have to do something about this situation soon...

HOT LEGS club – 7:30 pm – Tokyo

As usual, the club was noisy and packed full of people. Seikira was playing there tonight, and they always drew a large crowd. Even though the original singer had been replaced with a new one, the band was as popular as ever.

Linna sat by herself at a small table near the stage. Regan Fairfield (The new singer) had given her some free tickets to her shows. The brown haired woman decided to come and see Seikira perform tonight. (She wasn't there to see the British singer who looked like her ex-lover, Priss) she told herself.

She just didn't want to sit at home alone tonight. She was still shocked and brokenhearted over the breakup with Sylia. She just couldn't believe that the older woman had broken up with her. She thought that her girlfriend loved her. Instead, the silver haired woman dismissed their time together as a 'little fling', and she had coldly pushed Linna away, even though the younger woman had declared her dedication and love to her.

Sylia Stingray had totally rejected her! She also had accused her of still being in love with Priss. She told Linna that since she couldn't have the real thing, that she would settle for a lookalike. The silver haired woman meant Regan- Seikira's new singer.

That wasn't true. Linna was over Priss, and she didn't even know Regan. It didn't matter that the woman looked similar to her old lover. She truly loved Sylia...but now their relationship was finished. But she didn't want it to be over. There was nothing she could do about it. The brown haired woman had apologized and told her lover how she felt about her. It still just wasn't enough. The older woman had convinced herself that she was being betrayed somehow.

Linna had a flashback of when she first laid eyes on Sylia. She remembered how gorgeous she thought the Knight Saber's leader was. She remembered how she had finally made her way into that room and found the secret elevator that took her to 'The Pit'. Sylia, Priss, and Nene had all been there waiting for her. Well...maybe not Nene. The younger girl seemed surprised to see a possible new recruit to the team.

Sylia had walked over to her and cupped her chin in her hand, while gazing at her with those beautiful lavender eyes of hers. She told Linna how pretty she was, with nice, high cheekbones. "Very nice, indeed." she had told her approvingly.

Linna pushed the memories of Sylia out of her mind. It was over! She had called their relationship a mistake. The brown haired woman felt like crying again. She remembered that the older woman said they could still be friends. But she didn't think she could ever think of the silver haired woman as just a friend again.

Saturday – 11:pm- Sylia Stingray's Residence -Tokyo

Sylia lay curled up in her bed. She had had a few drinks to help her calm down and try to relax. She felt so alone in her big bed without anyone beside her. This reminded her of all the sleepless nights she had spent after Nigel had been killed. After his death, she had to get used to sleeping alone again. She had gotten used to it, but she never liked it. Sleep was always harder to come by, and her nightmares were harder to deal with all by herself.

Then she had started a relationship with Linna. She had been so happy those first few blissful days. She and Linna had always had a certain sexual tension between them. Even when she was with Nigel, and Linna was fixated on Priss, there was always something there. It was unspoken and powerful. But they both belonged to someone else at the time. After Nigel died and Priss didn't return, the two women were able to bond together over their losses and become the best of friends, and then later lovers.

Sylia sat up and rubbed her eyes. She just couldn't sleep. She walked over to the window and looked up at the moon. She wondered about Nigel. She thought about Priss. Where were they? In heaven? Was there such a place? She thought about Galatea and all the people that had died due to her father's experiments. The silver haired woman hoped there was a place where those that had passed on could live forever. She knew she would always feel guilty for what her father had done.

Then she thought about Linna. Why did she break up with her like she did? She remembered the hurt on the younger woman's face as she called their relationship a fling. She hadn't meant that at all. She really loved the the brown haired woman very much.

(I'm sorry Linna, but I feel you still love Priss, not me. I don't know why I can't believe otherwise) she thought to herself, sadly.

(It's because you once loved Priss, too. You never told her though...instead you fought with her.) Sylia reminded herself harshly.

She didn't want to think about those days. Besides, her feelings for Linna were stronger than those she once had for Priss. She just didn't think she could compare to Linna's love for Priss. The singer had been her first love after all. And Sylia still couldn't convince herself that Linna didn't hold her responsible for Priss's disappearance.

(You just think you don't deserve any happiness. That's why you keep pushing people away, isn't it?) a little voice told her.

The silver haired woman started to cry. She cried over all the mistakes she had made in her life. She went to pour herself another drink. She doubted she would get any sleep tonight.

HOT LEGS club- 11:00 pm- Tokyo

Linna couldn't stop laughing at the jokes the British singer was telling her. She was really very funny...and very pretty...

Regan smiled at her. "Would you like to come back to my apartment for a nightcap, luv?" she asked, in her sexy English accent.

The brown haired woman looked at her. Part of her wanted to...

"Sure, I'd like that." She told her. Sylia had already accused her of this anyway, and broken up with her. So Linna decided she could see whoever she wanted then.

But she just wanted Sylia...
