Chapter 18
Star suddenly realized what she was doing then quickly backed away from him.
"I wonder how Serena is… she took off rather quickly…" Star blurted out walking back to her seat in front of the keyboard.
"I'm sure Serena will be just fine… she always seems to find away to be…" Mahak said looking over at Star.
"Serena! Wait!!" Seiya yelled at her as she was heading out the door to the studio.
"Serena, where are you going?" Seiya asked her pulling her back through the door.
"I'm sorry Seiya…" She said not looking at him.
"Sorry… for what?" He asked her casing her to look at him.
"Those songs back there… I…" Serena stopped closing her eyes.
"They about your past Serena…" He said taking her into his arms. "And as far as I can see I'm your future right?" He said to her lifting her chin so that he could look into her eyes, she smiled at him then he leaned down and kissed her lips.
Back in the studio Mahak put his hands on Star's shoulders turning her around to look at him she too then smiled at him then he leaned down and kissed her lips. When he lifted his lips from hers they just stared at one another for a moment.
"So have you remembered anything yet?" Mahak asked her. She shook her head then he backed away slowly.
"You will just give it some time… at least you know that we have a connection to one another and that's enough to make me happy for now… besides the time is coming to where you will have to remember…" He spoke to her leaving the room.
"He's right I feel it there is a new enemy coming and the only way to defeat them is to remember everything." Star spoke softly hanging her head as if she had been defeated herself.
That night Starlight was having another dream she was getting closer to remembering but what she couldn't understand was why no one could tell her what had happened to her why she couldn't remember him or their past together.
The next day rolled on she showed up to the recording studio but Mahak never showed up.
"Who or what was responsible for her memory loss?" She spoke out loud as the door opened to reveal Taiki.
"Bad night?" Taiki asked her as he closed the door.
"What makes you say that?" Star asked him as he walked over to her.
"You don't look like you slept at all." Taiki said to her with concern.
"I've been having trouble sleeping lately." She said lowering her head.
"It wouldn't have anything to do with Mahak would it." Taiki asked her.
"How did you know?" Star asked him with surprise.
"You haven't been the same since he came to town." Taiki pointed out the obvious to her.
"It just bothers me that I have these dreams about him about the past and I can't remember him… I can't remember… why? Why can't I remember Taiki?" She said rather loud almost in a sob tears started to fall down her face something Taiki had yet to see from her she had been so strong unwilling to give up just like Serena but now he saw a girl who looked like she was broken like Serena had been when Darien was gone and when she lost her friends in the battle with Galaxia.
"You will remember just give it time." Taiki said to her sitting next to her.
"I know I will… but there is still the question of why I can't remember… I mean what happened as to why I can't remember?" She said looking at him for an answer knowing he would have no clue as to what could have happened.
"I don't know what to say to you but it seems if you want answers why not go looking for them maybe Rini would know or perhaps Trista would help you out with your question." Taiki said to her giving her ideas to help her in her dilemma.
"I could ask them but in my dream Mahak told me that I had to remember on my own." Star said to him with a confused look on her face as to what she should do.
At that time Serena walked in the room thinking that Seiya was there just like the last time.
"Serena what are you doing here? Taiki asked her as she turned around seeing her mistake.
"Oh nothing I thought Seiya was in here so I thought I would just come on in." She said putting her hands behind her head as her face turned red. She opened her eyes to notice that something was wrong with Star.
"Hey Star what's wrong?" she asked concerned.
"She has a dilemma… she wants to know why she can't remember Mahak when its obvious that he's and her were an item she has even had dreams about him and there past together but the question is why can't she remember she wants to know what happened to cause her not to remember." Taiki spoke out for Star.
Serena thought about what was being said to her about the situation.
"Oh I see…. Well the time will come when you will Star I know it…. It will come to you when it's supposed to…" she said with a smile on her face she herself could honestly relate to how she was feeling. Both Star and Taiki looked at her a little confused by her words then she started to speak again and her tone started to change.
"I do know how you feel Star I still can't remember a whole lot from my past to this day." Serena said sadly but then looked at them and smiled brightly. "Who knows it's probably for the best that I don't or maybe I was never meant to remember…." She finished then out right laughed at her words. "Well then I better go find Seiya he was suppose to meet me this afternoon." She went to open the door they watched her start to leave then watched her stop at the turn of the knob.
"Serena, are you…" Taiki said to her with out her turning around she spoke again.
"Star… if you want to know I can see what I can do to try and help you…" Serena said to her then left the room.
"Well Star it seems you're more like her than I thought you to be." Taiki said.
It was then the ground started to shake everyone fell to the floor or the ground depending on where they were at that moment.
"Star, are you okay?" Taiki yelled pushing off a shelf that had fallen on him. He looked around the room not seeing her and continued to yell her name he then heard a moaning and ran over to another shelf that had her pinned underneath, Seiya and Yaten had run in the room seeing through the broken glass what was going on at the same time Serena was pinned under rubble from a door way she had been in at the time of the quake.
"Seiya, Yaten over here Star is pinned under here!" Taiki yelled as the came over helping him lift the shelf when it was removed Seiya took Star in his arms.
"Seiya, Where is Serena? Taiki asked him worried to see her not with them as they came in the room. Seiya looked at him after his words.
"What do you mean where is Serena?" Seiya asked him.
"She was here and left to go find you like 15 minutes ago." Taiki said to him Seiya looked down at Star then she opened her eyes.
"You have to find her… Star whispered out of her mouth." Seiya then let Yaten and Taiki stay with her and he ran out of the room as fast as he could yelling Serena's name as he ran through the halls. As he ran he heard his communicator go off he answered hoping that it was Serena it was the girls checking in.
"Seiya are you and Serena alright?" Rei asked worried.
"I'm fine but I can't find Serena anywhere." Seiya let her know.
"What?! We'll be right there to help you find her." Rei said looking at the others.
"Serena's missing we have to get over there as soon as possible." She said looking at Darien and Rini who looked concerned and they all started to run through the streets that were covered in rubble from the quake making there way to the studio.
Meanwhile Seiya continued to search the halls for Serena when he cam across Mahak who was digging in a door way for some one.
"Mahak are you hurt?" Seiya yelled at him causing him to turn and look at Seiya.
"Seiya Serena is under here!" He yelled making Seiya run to the area helping him dig through the pile they finally uncovered her face she was unconscious.
"Serena!!!" Seiya yelled her name trying to get her to open her eyes. They couldn't get the huge beam off of her along came Taiki and Yaten who had Star leaning against him. Taiki and Yaten then hurried over to help they got the beam off and Seiya held Serena in his arms she wasn't breathing which had everyone concerned Mahak walked over to Star and discovered that she wasn't breathing either which now was a double concern it wasn't long after that the others had made their way into what was left of the studio to find out what was going on with there friends.
Amy and Taiki started C.P.R. on the two girls then the emergency techs made there way to them taking over Serena and Star were then loaded into the ambulance and taken to the hospital everyone followed behind. When they arrived both Serena and Star were side by side hooked up to tubes and machines they all looked at each other as if they had been defeated in a battle. Amara, Michelle, Trista and Hotaru made it there after getting the news about Star and Serena.
Mahak looked at Trista gaining Darien's interest.
"What is going on you two?" Darien asked them as he walked over to them.
"We don't was to alarm any one right now." Trista said looking at the floor.
"Tell me Trista what do you know?" Dairen asked her demanding.
"We know what caused the so called earthquake." Mahak said getting Darien's attention.
