"Kou residence,"

"..."

"Oh Hello Mr. Narahashi,"

"..."

"This coming Friday… Yes of course,"

"..."

"Yes I'm sure they'll be delighted, it's been a long time since we last played together,"

"..."

"Yes sir, thank you goodbye,"

Taiki placed down the phone and stared at it for a while.

"Oh dear!" he sighed and went back to his room.


About half an hour later he heard the door open and slam closed again. There was a loud but muffled yell.

"HEY!"

The door opened again, and Taiki peered around his door and down the corridor into the living room, where Seiya and Yaten looked like they were in a face off. He sighed again; today was not a good day.

"I can't believe you followed me, can I get no time to myself around here," shouted a frustrated looking Seiya,

"You get too much time to yourself!" snapped back an even more frustrated looking Yaten. "I'm serious Seiya it's sending you batty, for gods sake the only two people that you can have a civilised conversation with any more are Minako and Tenoh! Tell me there's not something wrong with that!"

"How about not being able to a have a civilised conversation with anyone Yaten, isn't there something wrong with that,"

Yaten was about to make a response when Taiki stepped between them; he had grown accustomed over the years to playing mediator between his two younger siblings.

"Sorry to break up this obvious display of brotherly affection, but I have some news,"

Neither did anything but glare at him as a response, but they had at least shut up.

"Narahashi phoned half an hour ago to say he has arranged us a concert for next Friday!"

"So what's new we…"

"Let me finish…" he snapped. It had the desired effect, Taiki didn't snap often and it always brought his brothers to attention.

"The concert is joint, us and… Kaioh Michiru," it took a few moments to register and when it did Seiya groaned and turned his head to face the ceiling.

"Well that's just perfect," said Yaten sarcastically, "Oh well at least with Tenoh there Seiya might actually have the chance to prove he can be sociable," Seiya's head snapped back down into a glare, he had quite forgotten that Yaten still didn't know about Haruka and Michiru breaking up, apparently Ami had let it slip to Taiki, but Mina had been much more careful than Rei had and Yaten didn't talk to the other scouts very much.

"I didn't realise the word sociable was in your vocabulary Yaten," Said Taiki in mock surprise, he narrowly avoided a large cushion that came flying in his direction before turning and walking back to his room.

Seiya followed suit, leaving a very aggravated Yaten standing alone in the middle of the living room. He glared down the hall for a little while before pulling out his phone and calling the person he always called when he was in this kind of mood, Mina.


The day of the concert came all to soon, Seiya counted himself lucky, so far, he had not seen Haruka even once in the last few days, although he had no doubts that together or not, Haruka always came to Michiru's concerts. Still more than likely she'd just come and go… Usagi and the scouts on the other hand would definitely stick around; he sighed and just hoped that Mamoru didn't like concerts too much… maybe if he didn't come Seiya might actually be able to enjoy her company. This, he thought, was too much to hope, even if Mamoru hated concerts, if Usagi wanted to come, he would be, as usual, glued to her side. Seiya remembered that he had promised to never leave her again after Galaxia was defeated; to be fair the guy had been dead and resurrected and probably felt that he never wanted to let her out of his sight again, but he was taking it a little far, from what Seiya could tell in three years the only time she was away from him was college."Hey sleepy you ready?" Yaten was leant against the doorframe. Seiya looked up and nodded, reaching out to the table to grab his signature; a red rose, and then stood up.

"Let's get this over with,"

The two left the room and wondered down the corridor to where Taiki was stood waiting.

"Seen Michiru yet?" Seiya asked as they reached their eldest brother. He looked towards a red door with a star on it and the name Michiru Kaioh in gold lettering.

"Not yet, should we wait here do you think?"

Yaten tossed his hair in a bored manner, which earned him a smirk from both brothers.

"What?"

Seiya shook his head, "You are such a girl," his smirk only widened when Yaten threw him a glare.

"Stop pouting it's unladylike,"

The two laughed as Yaten turned away from them and marched off towards the stage area. They watched him all the way out of sight when a quiet polite voice came from behind them.

"Shall we?"

They turned swiftly around and came face to face with a familiar teal haired woman. She was smiling gently and looked as beautiful as ever, her dress was white and made of long flowing material with light blue flowers decorating the bottom, and she carried a violin.

Taiki, ever the gentleman, immediately offered her his arm, which she took with grace and a smile. The two started walking and Seiya, after rolling his eyes, followed.

"Michiru it's been a while since we last saw you," Said Taiki, she nodded her head slightly and then looked straight ahead.

"It's been a busy few months," She said quietly. Taiki didn't press any further, seeing that the last month was obviously going to be a touchy subject; he hardly wanted to upset her, he admired both her, and her musical ability, and since Galaxia she had been very friendly towards them, unlike her, now ex, girlfriend.

When they arrived behind the stage Yaten had calmed down again, though he continued to give Seiya the occasional dirty look.


The concert was, as expected, a huge success, and the Three Lights and Michiru's final song was met with deafening applause so that their ears were ringing more than usual as they stepped off the stage.

"Come on Seiya, even Taiki agreed to go,"

Seiya groaned and tried to yank his arm out of Yaten and Mina's grip. They refused to let go and continued to pull him into the crowded after-party room. Over on the other side of the room Taiki was stood talking to Ami, and both looked very happy, though also very out of place. In fact all the scouts were there, and a whole lot of other people, most of whom Seiya had never met but had to be nice to because they were very rich, involved with the Three Lights record company, and easily offended.

"I have a headache," he moaned,

"So do I, it's not stopping me!"

"I'm serious Yaten I'm going home,"

Finally he managed to escape their vice-grip, leaving the both of them to pout after him as he marched away.

He was still grumbling to himself about pushy little brothers and dumb blondes as he pushed open the back door to the concert hall and stepped out, into the pouring rain. He swore loudly and made a dash for his car, flinging open the door and clambering quickly inside. It had been perfectly clear just a few hours ago, but now it was raining so hard that in the short distance from the door to his car he was already soaked. He began complaining to himself again, adding the weather to his long list of grievances, and started the car.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice that as he drove he was forgetting to avoid the large puddles that had already accumulated along the pavement. Nor did he notice the loud swearing and complaining that followed him as he sent waves of water across the pavement. What he did notice however was the loud bang on the back of his car window as a shoe smashed into it; he jammed on the break and turned in his seat to find the culprit. He couldn't be certain but as a tall blonde haired figure marched straight passed his window; he thought he could register an educated guess.

Haruka growled to herself, who was that idiot, as if she wasn't soaked through already, she just hoped that her shoe had left a mark, serve them right.

"Hey Tenoh!"

Oh God NO!

"You know it's not nice to throw things at peoples cars," She frowned, she should have known it was him, only he'd be that stupid. Turning her head she saw he was driving slowly alongside her, she turned her face away again.

"I should have known. Only a moron like you would go driving through puddles without a…"

"Tenoh… you're soaked," She stopped walking staring straight ahead an almost disbelieving expression on her face. Her shock quickly passed however and she turned back to him, he had stopped along side her.

"No kidding, really, you think! My God I hadn't even noticed! Thank you Mister Kou for drawing that fact to my attention!" She yelled before snapping back around and starting to walk away.

"What the hell are you walking in the rain for?"

She groaned, couldn't he just drive off a cliff?

"It was sunny when I walked in to the concert, I didn't plan to get soaked!"

Seiya sighed and drove forward again to catch her up; she even walked fast.

"Get in!"

"What?" She snapped around again.

"Look it's miles to your place from here, the rains not showing any signs of letting off, and I made it worse so… get in and I'll drive you home,"

"Like hell I'm getting in a car with you!"

"You wanna catch something?"

Sadly he had a point, Haruka had a big race coming up in a few days and she couldn't afford to get ill. She growled to herself but turned to face him.

"Fine!" He stopped again and she stomped around the car pulling the back door open and sliding inside.

"Try not to drip water all over the place," Said Seiya as he drove off again.

"Just drive fast!" she said refusing to look at him, "What makes you suddenly so concerned about me anyway?"

Seiya didn't say anything for a while, he wasn't entirely sure, though he guessed it was to do with his seemingly unending feeling of guilt and the constant image of her looking so frail, that he suddenly felt she needed his help.

"Look I know we don't get on all that well…" Haruka gave a little laugh that suggested he'd just made one hell of an understatement.

"But…" He continued, "Despite your obvious impression of me I'm not a bad person and while I may not like the way you've acted to me these last few years, I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone, not even you Tenoh,"

After this speech neither spoke again, Haruka had been quite surprised by what he had said.

He drove right up her drive so that she didn't have to go far before she could get inside. She got out of the car thanking him quietly as if she was worried someone might over hear her.

Seiya was about to leave when he rolled down the window, "Hey Tenoh," She turned back, "What?"

"Just so you know… it wasn't just Mina that made me apologise to you, I am sorry about what I said," then before she had a chance to respond he rolled the window back down, started the car and drove off.

Forgetting completely that it was still raining Haruka just stared after him. She hadn't really cared about why he apologised before, she'd brushed it off as him being scared of Mina. However he'd now said it three times, and this time he really didn't need to for his own benefit. A frown came to her face as she suddenly came to a realisation as to why after everything he had done for her and her friends she maintained that she despised him. She was acting like a child; she wanted to hate him and she just couldn't give it up. First it had been because she'd found him with Michiru, but then he hadn't known that Michiru was with someone and Michi was very good looking could he really be blamed, besides he'd never gone after her again. Then it had been because he seemed to be chasing Usagi, however it was Usagi's life, so who was she to dictate it, besides Usagi had been well out of his reach for a long time now. Then it had been because he was a Starlight, but he and the other Starlights had helped Sailor Moon defeat Galaxia, defended her princess, something she herself had failed to do. He had said all those things to her… but they were the truth, even if she hadn't known it till he had said it; and he had apologised. The fact was there was absolutely nothing to hate about the guy; and that was what she hated so much. She sighed feeling defeated, and she turned and walked the remaining distance to her house.
