Chapter 2Seiya's Dismay
The next day at the three lights' apartment, Yaten Kou and Taiki Kou were getting ready for school. As for Seiya Kou,
"What are you still doing in your ridiculous ducky patterned pajamas?! It's 7:40 and incase you've forgotten our class starts in half an hour!!!" Taiki exclaimed when Seiya came out of his room looking fresh out of bed.
"I changed my mind, I'm not going back. I don't want to go back." Seiya replied.
"Say what?! But we already talked about this haven't we?!" Taiki exclaimed again.
"I know, demou (1)...It's only been two months and..well..it just doesn't seem right." Seiya replied, avoiding Taiki's glares.
"Enough of this crap Seiya Kou! We already decided to live normal lives despite what has happened to her!" Yaten butted in with a very pissed tone.
Seiya looked at Yaten lazily and said,
"This is not our "normal" world, so how do you expect me to live a "normal" life?"
Yaten, suppressing his anger, looked straight into Seiya's eyes and replied in the most calm voice he could come up with,
"You were able to do that for almost a year while we were looking for her. This isn't any different."
"Oh yes it's different. Back then we knew she was alive. We had lots of hope that we'll see her again, but now we don't. We have nothing." Seiya said as he looked away.
Yaten, now losing all his patience, grabbed the taller man by his collar and said,
"You listen to me and you listen to me well. Whether you like it or not this is our world now, our home. This is where we live, this is where we will die and no matter what you do, no matter how much you hide or run away from that reality, you can never change that anymore; neither the fact that she's dead. She's been dead for two months now Seiya, Kakyuu-hime (2) is dead and will you please put some super-glue on that fact so it'll stick on your pathetic little brain! 'Cause I'm really tired of going through this talk over and over again damn it!"
"You sound like you've forgotten everything. It's as if she didn't die SAVING US! Damn you Yaten, if you can easily forget that then, you're not a true guardian. You're worthless!" Seiya replied as he removed Yaten's hands off of him.
"Fuck you Seiya, don't you dare call me worthless because as far as I know there's only one guardian who's worthless and that's you!" the platinum haired bishounen (3) exclaimed.
Seiya was about to hit Yaten on the face when Taiki caught his fist and said,
"Enough is enough! Both of you. You said it yourself Yaten, we don't have to go through this shit again."
Taiki looked at Yaten and ordered,
"Go fetch his uniform."
"Nani?!" Yaten asked.
"Just go get it!" Taiki ordered.
Yaten walked away muttering to himself as Taiki turned to Seiya and said,
"Is this what you've become Seiya, a blind guardian because his princess passed away? You were someone else...no...You ARE someone else than what you've shown us today." Taiki placed both hands on Seiya's shoulder and continued. "You used to be calm, responsible and clear headed. Those were your traits, which made you what you are today, our leader. I know you're stronger than this and besides, you're the one who has forgotten."
"What??" Seiya asked
"You've forgotten Princess Kakyuu's final words..."
And with that, everything flashed in Seiya's mind, including his princess' final words.
Princess Kakyuu stood in front of them, taking in the energy ball Galaxia threw at their direction. She turned her head to face the three starlights and said,
"My dear starlights, my friends, and my guardians. I know you'll win this battle and live happily on this planet. Protect the ones you believe you must protect but when she arrives, return to her. When you finally meet her you will be able to laugh at all the pain you've encountered and will encounter in the future. Life may be cruel but remember that every sad ending is the start of a bright new and happier beginning. Look for her and protect her as you would me. Live a normal life and stay by her side for as long as you live."
Tears flowed from Seiya's eyes as he remembered.
"Sou dane ("That's right"), I did forget. I was blinded by her death and have forgotten what she said. I'm sorry Taiki-san" Seiya said.
Yaten came out from Seiya's room and heard what Seiya said and replied,
"Good, now get ready 'cause we're running out of time. We'll be freakin' late!"
"Sure." Seiya replied with a smile as he took his uniform from Yaten.
The three lights left their apartment for school at 7:50.
