Chapter 6: Surprise!

No one thought that something like this would happen. Neither her.

She knew from the moment she entered into the Crown that someone was looking at her, but she didn't felt harried. She knew that look. She felt how a strange warm was filling her body and something in her mind appeared.

A crystal surrounding them. A kiss that seemed the last. A merge of both souls...both bodies...a love which has been split in two..and then nothing..loneliness and sorrow in her soul without any explanation to be found.

She didn't remember anything. She knew that something was missing. She looked up for that something or better said someone. But she didn't found it...him...and she stoped the search..

Now she felt that...that something...someone...had returned.

She looked to the place from where she felt the look and shock... he was there!

The intense green of his eyes surprised her... Last time he wasn't like this. Those cold and ironical eyes were now gone and in them found a imense tenderness, the same tenderness she had seen in her dream. She knew that he was that someone...but he camed so late in her life...WHY?? Now...when she finally had someone who loves her, even though she didn`t, at least not yet. She couldn`t understand why all this was happening to her…why when she sees him or only she thinks at him, her heart starts pounding more faster and her legs becoming jellyfish…and everything around her was all pink.

The last time when he was here, she felt all these things, but they were pretty weak and after he left, she felt as if her world became dark, she felt like she was living in a place where nobody could reach and save her. She had hidden all of her emotions in front of her friends, she kept that secret inside her and she forced her to forget him and she almost succeeded when that dream confused her again.

And now…now he was here. God, this is the worst!! It's too unreal to be happening to her!

'She's still as beautiful as ever. This smile…oh, how I've missed it! I see her and I can't believe that I'm here, beside her and that we'll be again together! I can't believe that I'll hold her in my arms again, that I'd kiss her sweet lips, that I'd touch her long hair…that we'll be a single soul again and this time forever!

But does she know? Does she know about our past together? She might not, especially when I remember my behavior from when I met her. I was so cruel and cold towards her! God…when I recall it, I really want to punch myself!

But who's the boy next to her? What he's doing standing next to Minako?'

These were Yaten's thoughts and while he was looking at that boy, his eyes sparkled of jealousy. He didn't want anyone to stand next to her beside him! She belonged to him ever since they were small kids, that boy would better understand this or he'll have to teach him a lesson.

'Though it seems to me that he's more than a friend. Ha! I guess I'll have to fight for her; this will compensate for the last time when I could not do it and be sure this time I'll win no matter what!'

Meanwhile, Ami, Usagi and Mamoru had seen those three standing at a table. Usagi was so happy seeing them again, that ran to them, hugging Seiya with delight.

"Wow! You're here! Seiya, Yaten, Taiki! When did you come back?"

"Well, we came back last night." answered Seiya, hugging her back. "Nice to see you again, Odango!"

While she was holding him in her arms, Usagi felt familiar warmth; she felt that in another day, another time, she had hugged him like this. But the face of Mamo-chan popped in her mind and she left Seiya's warm arms, with her cheeks burning. Seiya noticed her blushed cheeks and he knew why she retreated from his arms. He had felt the same warmth. It seemed that Yaten was right, they don't know a thing about their past together.

"And you have where to stay?" Ami asked Taiki.

"Of course, we have the same suit as the last time. We decided to retake our business as idols." he answered him, watching in her blue eyes, which fascinated him in the past and fascinates him even now.

When he was on Earth he felt something towards her, but the mission of finding the Princess was more important and so, he reprobated his feelings and wore a cold mask. And now…and now she was with this boy and she knew nothing about their past together; he knew this very well because he could see this very well.

And he is so low confident in him, even though he has spoken to others two and was entangled in their determination of recovering their lost love, but now that he saw her, he felt the fear of being rejected the fear of losing her again.

'Why is he looking at me like that? I feel like something warm is embracing me. I look into those lavender eyes and I feel like I'm floating, that I'm drowning in them.

God! What's happening to me?! Urawa is here with me and I'm acting like I'm in love with Taiki or something like that!'

Her mind goes blank, then pure shock catches her body as she realizes.

'In love?! Impossible!'

But while she was trying to assure herself that it was the most absurd thing ever, a sudden image bursts into her mind.

It was the two of them in a library, an unknown library. As she was reaching to a book, it fell down. She leaned to lift it up when he came to help her. Their hands touched and their eyes met. Mesmerized by something only their souls knew, they approached each other until their mouths met and kissed. A sweet and pleasant kiss guarded by the books around…

She recovered from that strange memory and looked at him surprised. His eyes told her that he knew. He knew what she saw!

'How can this be possible?!'

"Ami, are you ok?" asked Urawa looking at her worried.

"Yes, I'm fine." she smiled towards him, feeling a little more shackled. "But where is Princess Kakyuu? She didn't come with you?" she turned to Taiki.

"No." he answered. "We came for personal reasons." he came in, looking intensely at her.

Blue was merging with green…

'She knew' he told himself. 'I see it in her eyes. I see how she's afraid that it could be true. She's afraid of what she feels. But I'll throw away this fear; she'll love me again without restraining herself. We'll love each other again.'

'He knows. He knows what I've dreamt and what I feel! I can see this in his eyes. Did he come back for this? Because...maybe we had the same dream? I can see his determination in his eyes. Does it have any connection with me?'

"Hello, Yaten!" she said, forcing a smile.

"Hi, Minako!" he answered, looking at her with unwavering eyes. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" asked her, glancing at the man beside her. Both of them faced each other, even if Yaten was smaller than him. He assured him to not underestimate by giving him a good handshake, surprising him.

"Kou Yaten. Nice to meet you." he smiled to him, but that smile was hiding more than Mark believed, it was a smile of victory.

"Mark Sblinski. Nice to meet you too." Mark answered Yaten's smile. 'It's something weird about him. I don't like him; I think he hides a lot, though he seems harmless. And Minako acted strangely when she saw him. Maybe something happened between the two of them? Hmm…'

"So…are you Minako's boyfriend?" Yaten interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes." he replied, looking happily and proudly at the girl beside him.

'Not for long…'

"Where is Luna, Usagi?" Yaten asked the blonde haired girl who was talking without stopping.

"Well…" she started, looking a little puzzled.

"I'm here, Yaten." he heard a voice coming from behind. He looked back curiously; he didn't think that Mark knew about the girls being Senshi and about Luna, the talking cat. But when he turned and his eyes met a girl standing in front of him, his eyes widened.

"Luna?!" he asked shocked, looking at her how she was holding the arm of a blonde boy who was looking at him a little strange, if not hostile.

"Yes, Yaten." she smiled. "Is me, Luna."

"But…what?" he wanted to say more but now he was sure that Mark wasn't aware of the girls secret. "We've got to talk, Luna. I can't believe it's you!"

"We'll talk." Luna chuckled, making her boyfriend look at her with jealousy. "Oh! He is Artemis, do you remember him, don't you?" she blinked towards him.

"Oh, yeah! I remember him." he smiled to Artemis. "That's why it seemed to me that he looked at me familiar" he said, making the girls to laugh and Artemis blush.

"Will you be studying at the same school as us, won't you?" asked suddenly Usagi, looking excited at the three of them.

"Of course, this time we came back with the intention of becoming very good friends, considering the circumstances from the last time." Yaten answered.

The only one who understood the meaning of 'very good friends' was Minako who looked at him surprised. He blinked to her, without anyone noticing beside Mark who looked a little angry.
