Chapter 5:
7 months later, Seiya sighed, examining the necklace in her grasp as she laid on her bed. The necklace was silver with a silver crescent moon-shaped pendant that had a diamond in the middle, then a golden star-shaped pendant with a ruby in the middle of it, connected to the moon.
'Why does this necklace seem special to me? Why does it seem like I had seen and touched it before?' thought Seiya as she read the inscripition on the back of it again:
My Love Is Like A Star
Seiya frowned, reading the inscripition again and again, until someone knocked on her door, and called out,"Come in!"
Taiki walked into the room with a tray of food and said as she sat the tray by Seiya's legs,"Here. I bought you your lunch."
Seiya sat up, putting the necklace back inside her pocket and said,"Arigato. Demo where's Yaten?"
Taiki sat next to Seiya, watching as her dark-haired companion started to eat her lunch and said,"She went to her appointment with her hairstylist. Doushite?"
Seiya said,"Just curious since you two are always together." Then shrugged, getting up and took off her nightgown, going into her closet to get dressed.
Taiki crossed her legs and asked,"Where are you going?"
Seiya said as she puts on a red bra,"Just getting dressed. Just in case we have company."
Seiya shrugged, pulling on a pair of baggy cargo dark grey pants and flipped her hair over her shoulder at the same time someone knocked on their apartment door.
Taiki frowned, getting up and said,"I didn't order pizza or anything. Did you?"
Seiya shook her head, going through her closet to find a shirt and pulled out a maroon see-through shirt.
Taiki sighed, walking out of Seiya's room while closing the door behind her and walked over to the front door as the knocking continued, opening the door when amethyst meets grey as the man cried out happily.
"TAIKI!"
"So, Yaten Kou, when did you get a sex change?"
Yaten rolled her eyes in annoyance, letting out an annoyed huff as she looked up from her magazine and said,"I've always been a girl. So what makes you think that there's been a sex change, Mai?"
Yaten's hairstylist, Mai, huffed, glaring down at Yaten and said as,she continued to wash the silver-haired girl's hair,"Well, it isn't my fault, MA'AM, that NOBODY knows about you three being girls actually."
Yaten sighed, trying to control her temper and said,"Whatever, just do your job."
Mai rolled her eyes, pouring a generous amount of conditioner in Yaten's hair before massaging it in and said sarcastically,"I see that someone hasn't changed a bit for the past 7 years."
Yaten sighed again, rolling her eyes and said,"Would you just shut up and do your job? Geez. You're so dull."
Mai rolled her eyes, putting a shower cap over Yaten's hair and said,"Whatever. Be back. Let your hair moisturize, OK?"
Mai walked away to gather up her usual supplies that she uses for Yaten's hair.
Yaten sighed, crossing her legs as she continued to read her magazine just as the ringing of the front door, indicating that another customer just came in.
Yaten ignored the commotion going on around her, until she heard a soft angelic voice. "Arigato gozaimasu. Can you trim my ends a little and fix my bangs for me, onegai?"
Yaten's eyes widen, looking up in shock and horror as she caught a glimpse of a very oblivious Usagi and said as she thrown her magazine down,"Damnit..."
Then broke into a run for the door, narrowly dodging Usagi with confuse glances following after her from the other customers before they shrugged it off.
Meanwhile, Taiki looked at the older man in shock, her jaw nearly dropping before regaining her composure and said,"Konnichiwa, Taro-san. What brings you here?"
Taro smiled, walking into the apartment with Taiki closing the door behind him and said,"For one thing, the rumor was true that you three are women, and secondly I want you guys back."
Taiki opened her mouth to calmly decline his offer, but was cut off by Seiya from her place by the couch with her arms crossed. "Want us back for what?"
Taro turned around, smiling at the young raven-haired beauty and said,"Well, to sing as the Three Lights again of course. What do you think of that?"
Seiya looked thoughtful for a moment before oddly a smile came across her face and said as she uncrossed her arms,"That'd be great. I'm in. Bored around here."
Taiki looked at Seiya in shock, gaping at her leader before changing back to her usual calm behavior as Taro turned around to face her happily and said with a smile,"That's a great idea. We need to get back into the music business anyway."
Taro clapped his hands happily and said,"Arigato! We'll start recording in a few weeks and everything. Maybe a concert this week."
Seiya smiled and said,"We'll try that. Now go ahead and start planning."
Taro chuckled and said,"I will. I hope that you three still have it, especially you, Seiya. Anyway, ja ne!"
Seiya waved goodbye, carelessly walking into the kitchen as Taro lefted. "Are you sure about this, Seiya? You're still recovering and it's been 7 years since we sang."
Seiya shrugged, popping opening her soda and said before taking a sip,"Hai. Because I'm bored of just sitting around. Though Shrimpette might be pissed. Then again, she's always been a pussy."
Taiki shook her head at her leader's language, ignoring the slam of the door that indicated that Yaten was home and sighed, rubbing her temples.
Seiya said as she sticks her head out from inside of the kitchen,"Damn, Midget, you look as if a unicorn just pissed in your hair."
Yaten glared at Seiya as her younger companion took another sip of her soda and said,"Oh, shut the fuck up, Seiya!"
Taiki sighed, rolling her eyes as she walked into the living room to see a very annoyed and angry Yaten, who still had water dripping off of her hair from earlier when she had washed it in the fountain, and asked with concern,"Why are you back early? I thought that you were having Mai-."
Yaten sat down on the couch angrily said as she combed through her silver locks,"I almost got spotted by Usagi again today! She had an appointment there too! Why does fate hate us so much?"
Taiki sighed again, grabbing a towel from inside of the closet and said as she started drying off her silver-haired friend's hair,"Dunno. I guess that it's by concidence."
Seiya frowned, looking at her two older friends in confusion and said,"What are you guys talking about? Who or what is a Usagi? Do we know her? Is she an enemy?"
Yaten and Taiki looked up from their places on the couch, noticing how Seiya tensed up in a protective stance and had crushed her soda can.
Taiki said,"Well, she's an old friend of ours, demo we can't allow her-."
Yaten continued with annoyance,"...nosey ass to find us because of your condition."
Seiya's frown deepened before she shrugged and said with a smirk,"Demo, Shrimpette, get your bass guitar back out, we're singing again."
Yaten cried out in shock and anger,"WHAT?"
Seiya said bluntly,"We're singing again."
Yaten snapped around, looking at Taiki as if she were crazy and cried out,"How did you agree to this?"
Taiki shrugged and said,"We need the money, and Seiya wants us to do it because she's bored."
Seiya rolled her eyes when Yaten started to glare at her again with her iridescent eyes, adjusting her shirt as her belly ring dangled around with her movement and said,"Look, I'm seriously bored and I love to sing, write songs, and play music, so sue me if I want to renew our music career."
Yaten sighed and mumbled something about stupid roommates and crazy fans.
Seiya said,"Anyway, I'm going back to my room to meditate, so ja."
Seiya lefted the room, walking into her bedroom and closed the door behind her.
Usagi sighed, brushing her hair once she dried it off and sat down on her bed, looking at the picture of her and Seiya from his last visit to Earth as sadness overcame her.
'Oh, Seiya, I miss you so much. I'm so lonely now... I bet that you're happy on Kinmoku...'
Usagi looked away from the picture, wiping away a few stray tears before brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear and picked up her cell phone from its place at her bedside, flipping it open before dialing a familiar phone number.
Meanwhile, Seiya opened her dark eyes to the sound of the phone ringing, getting up from her place on her bed with a confused and curious scowl on her face before making her way out of her room and down the hallway.
'That's odd. I wonder who's calling... Probably our manager.'
Seiya picked up the phone from its place on the table, pressing the "TALK" button and said with her sultry voice,"Moshi moshi?"
Usagi's eyes widened at the slightly familiar voice and cried out in shock that caused Seiya to cringe and become even more confused,"SEIYA!"
