Don't Mess With Fire
"Mamoru-san."
The college student turned around. His eyes widened. "You're back?"
He received a nod in reply. "Just visiting. I was looking for Odango. I thought she might be in here. Then, I saw you and…"
Mamoru shrugged. "Usagi-chan does like to visit the arcade. But, I don't know if she'll be here today. I haven't spoken to her in a while."
"Why not?"
"Because," Mamoru paused and a brief flash of pain could be seen in his eyes. "She broke up with me a few months ago. She loves someone else now."
Seiya took a step back in shock. "S-she… wha…?"
"Seiya!"
Before he could respond, Seiya was being squeezed in a tight hug by Usagi Tsukino. "Odango."
She pulled back, waved to Mamoru, who was leaving to seek out Motoki, and questioned the Light, "When did you get back?"
"A few hours ago. Our planet's reconstruction is going so well that we decided to take a little break and visit Earth," Seiya said, smiling widely.
"That's great! Where are Taiki-san and Yaten-kun?"
"They're at the hotel resting. They agreed to get together with minna later, but I wanted to see you now."
"Oh. Well, minna will definitely be excited to see you guys again."
"Yeah. But maybe we can do something now? Just the two of us?" Seiya asked, his hand reaching up to brush a stray piece of hair from the blonde's face.
Usagi moved out of his reach. "I kind of have plans right now," she told him. "And Seiya-"
Seiya looked hurt when she drew away from him, but quickly recovered. "You know, before you came in, Mamoru-san was telling me that you two broke up… because you wanted to be with someone else."
She moved away again when he stepped forward, backing into a game. "Yeah, I-"
"What are you doing?"
Usagi's eyes flew past his form and she rushed to the girl who had just spoken, her eyes lighting up. "Do you need to go home?"
Rei shook her head. "No. It wasn't an emergency. That baka Yuuichiro just couldn't find a broom. I told him not to interrupt us anymore for something so stupid."
"Hi, Rei-chan."
The miko looked at Seiya. "You never answered my question."
"I was talking to Odango. Are you the one she has plans with? You wouldn't mind if I borrowed her for a bit, would you?"
"Yes, I would mind. We're on a date."
"You… with each other?" Seiya asked, his eyes betraying his surprise and confusion.
Usagi nodded.
"And, Seiya-kun," Rei said. "Mamoru-san may have let you get away with chasing Usagi when he was dating her, but I won't. Fire can hurt, you know, so keep your hands off my girlfriend."
