Chapter 13:
Seiya sighed, leaning against her motorcycle as she looked up at the cafe that Usagi worked at.
'I hope that she forgives me. I didn't mean it. Any of it. But it seemed like I hurt her in a way also. If only I wasn't so stupid!' she thought to herself, playing with the bouquet of roses in her right hand as she remembered what exactly happened after a couple of hours after Usagi's departure the day before.
*Flashback*
"Calm down already, Yaten. I'm sure that it was a misunderstanding, " said Taiki, watching as the silver-haired woman continued to comfort Seiya with an angry scowl on her face.
"A misunderstanding? You've got to be kidding me, Taiki. She's ALWAYS the one to hurt Seiya. So how could I not be pissed off if SHE'S the reason why our best friend is in fucking tears?" screamed Yaten back at Taiki, glaring at the taller woman from her place on Seiya's bed.
"Because Usagi isn't like that. We all know that she's too compassionate and loving to hurt anybody at all. BUT did you even ask her what REALLY happened?" replied Taiki, raising a thin eyebrow at her smaller companion and leaned against the doorframe, her amethyst eyes hardening.
"No. I didn't. But it doesn't mean that she's -."
"That she did something to Seiya. You keep forgetting that Seiya still isn't herself. She has mood swings, a couple of seizures, headaches, amnesia, nightmares, and has abnormal sleeping patterns in a way, " said Taiki, her eyes softening as she noticed how the shorter women cringed before she started to tremble a little.
Yaten looked away from Seiya, glaring at Taiki. "I fucking know that! And I hate seeing her like this! Don't you think that I've already feel enough guilt, Taiki, over how we weren't able to prevent this? She's like a sister to the both of us and we couldn't prevent her from ending with amnesia!"
"Yaten ...," said Taiki, making a move to comfort Yaten.
"No. No. Just don't. I just can't. Not right now. And I understand what you're saying, but I just can't see Seiya like that again. Not again. Even though Usagi's a really good friend of ours, we-, " said Yaten, shaking her head as she looked down Seiya, who had finally calmed down, and her face softened with sadness and guilt.
Taiki looked down at her feet, wrapping her arms around herself without noticing. "We have to do this. No matter what. It's for the best."
Yaten nodded her head, stroking Seiya's hair as the younger light nuzzled her face against her stomach. "And I know. For her best ..."
Seiya sniffled, snuggling against Yaten as her eyes started to drift close until she fell into a deep sleep with the faint sound of Taiki's and Yaten's voices still talking to each other.
*End of Flashback*
'I wonder what they were talking about. I know that it was about me and Usagi, but ...' thought Seiya, looking up in time to see Usagi walk pass a nearby window to give a customer presumably a cup of coffee and cursed, kicking her motorcycle.
'Goddamnit! Why am I here? She surely doesn't want to see me. Not after I've hurt her ... But ... Oh forget it. I just stupid. ' she thought, looking away after dropping the roses to the ground and got back on her motorcycle, starting it up. Then she sped off, rose petals flying all over the place.
Usagi looked up in time to catch a glimpse of dark blue hair and a black leather jacket, gasping when she noticed that it was Seiya and rushed out of the cafe, ignoring the yells of her coworkers.
"Seiya! Wait!" yelled Usagi after Seiya, watching as her form got smaller until she disappeared from sight and sighed, turning around before she walked back into the cafe.
"Where in the hell have you been, Seiya? You're late!" yelled an annoyed Yaten, watching as Seiya walked into the music studio.
Seiya rolled her eyes, tossing her bag onto a nearby couch and shrugged off her jacket, throwing it into the couch also. "Calm down. Only 2 minutes late. Geez."
Taro smiled at Seiya and said, "You're finally here. Are you ready to get started with your own songs first?"
Seiya said, "If Taiki's done with hers."
Taiki raised an eyebrow at the mix emotions flashing within Seiya's and replied, "I am, Seiya. Thank you for your concern. But are you up for this you seem troubled about something right now?" Then she laid a hand on Seiya's shoulder, looking at her with concern.
Seiya shrugged Taiki's hand off and said,"I'm fine. Now let's get started." Then she turned around, grabbing a water bottle and walked into the recording booth, standing in front of the microphone before putting on her headphones.
Taro said,"Okay now. Are you ready?"
Seiya nodded her head, giving a thumbs up and closed her eyes.
"Go," ordered Taro to the sound producer, smiling when the music started to play.
Seiya opened her mouth and started to sing, pouring her heart into every word:
I drove for miles just to find you and find myself
All these screams, all these voices in my head You gave me strength, gave me hope for a lifetime
I never was satisfied
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up
It's not your fault I'm a bitch, I'm a monster
Yes I'm a beast and I feast when I conquer But I'm alone on my throne, all these witches I came this way all this way just to say
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up
I'm givin' up, baby, yes
I'm givin' up, baby
(Feels like I've been drivin' for miles)
I'm givin' up, baby
(And I can't seem to silence these voices in m head)
This time won't you save me?
(Who'll save me?)
This time won't you save me?
(Who'll save me?)
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up
Taro clapped his hands, smiling at Seiya as she opened her eyes. "Bravo! Bravo! Great job, Seiya! I actually love that song!"
Seiya said, "Thank you. I wrote that song for someone I know."
Taiki and Yaten looked at each other, thinking in unison 'Usagi.' Then turned their attention back on Seiya.
"Hmm, interesting. Anyhow, got any other songs that you have up your talented sleeve?" said Taro, his smile widening.
Seiya smiled and said, "Yes I do and I -." Then she was cut off by the sound of her phone vibrating within her pocket, taking it out and opened it to reveal a text message from Usagi.
Usagi: Where are you? Are you okay? Are you still mad? :( I miss you. :'(
Seiya made a move to text Usagi back, but stopped herself from doing so and shook her head, closing her phone before throwing it across the room.
Taro looked at Taiki and Yaten in confusion, earning impassive expressions from them and shrugged, turning back towards Seiya. "Okay now, back to work."
: *:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
Usagi looked at her cell phone, waiting for a reply from Seiya.
15 minutes later, no answer.
Usagi closed her cell phone, tears welling within her eyes and lets out a sob, curling up on her bed as tears started to fall down her face.
'She hates me. She really does.'
5 months later,
"Thank you everyone for tuning in today. Seiya Kou is here today to promote her new following album, My Love, so show her some love and we'll be asking her questions about her album!"
Usagi looked away from her place on top of her kitchen stool, taking another bite out of her pancakes.
"Hi, guys. Thank you for tuning in. This is Seiya Kou and I would like to promote Three Lights's new album, My Love, and tell you about our upcoming concert, " came Seiya's melodic, alto voice through Usagi's radio, causing her to perk up.
"So, Seiya, where did you get the idea of the album's name? Got somebody special in your life?" asked the DJ.
Seiya replied,"No. I don't. And we agreed on the name because this album is mostly going to be acoustic and have a lot of ballads instead of our usual style."
Usagi looked down at her hands, a pang of hurt hitting her.
"Oh really? Interesting. And your upcoming single will be what?" asked the DJ in amusement.
"It's a secret since we'll also have our own singles that we've personally written about-."
Usagi turned off the radio, using her fork to play with her eggs.
:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:-*-:
"Thank god that is over!" cried Yaten, sighing in relief as she stretched.
Taiki rolled her eyes, looking at Seiya with concern. "How are you feeling, Seiya? Does your head still hurt?"
Seiya shook her head, tossing her soda can into the nearest trash bin as they continued to make their way to a nearby women's store. "Yes. I'm fine. Took my pills before we lefted home."
"Thank god you did. I sure as hell am not in the mood for your bitchy attitude today, "cried a happy Yaten in relief.
Seiya glared over at Yaten, her eyes flashing dangerously as she towered over the shorter girl. "And that's suppose to mean what, Shrimp? You keep forgetting that I can kick your ass at anytime, even with my hands tied behind my back."
"Oh really? Well then, go ahead. Hit me. I dare ya. Hit me, " taunted Yaten, making a come here gesture with her hands to Seiya.
Taiki rolled her eyes, sighing as she rubbed her temple. "Why can't you two get along for one day? Just one day? And stop acting like children. Giving me a headache."
Seiya smiled, turning away from Yaten and said while batting her eyelashes at Taiki,"Okay, Taiki-mama. I'll behave."
Taiki growled in annoyance as Seiya walked pass her afterwards, laughing.
Yaten rolled her eyes, snorting and said,"And now you see why she's known as the smart ass of the three of us. But no. Nobody listens to me."
Taiki shook her head, continuing to follow Seiya with Yaten beside her.
Seiya smirked at all of the men in the store gawking at her once she entered, ignoring the glares from their girlfriends and the jealous store clerks, including the looks that her two friends were giving her.
"Welcome to Luscious Beauty. How may I help you?" said a clerk, smiling obnoxiously at Seiya.
"Why, thank you. I am trying to find some new clothes that are kick ass and a yet somewhat sexy, " said Seiya, looking around the store and ignored the two pairs of eyes boring into the back of her head.
The clerk nodded her head and asked,"Okay. But would you like some bras or something while you're in here?"
Seiya smiled, following the clerk to the clothing racks with provocative clothing. "Yes I would like some."
"Here we are. Just look through while I'll find you some bras, ma'am. But before I go, what bra size are you?" said the clerk, looking over her shoulder at Seiya.
Seiya smiled, cupping her own breasts and pretended to examine them. "Hmmm... I say that I'm a double D."
The clerk blushed slightly as Seiya's bounced a bit once she let go of them." Okay. I'll be right back."
Seiya giggled as the clerk walked away, looking through the clothing rack and took out a pair of dark blue low-cut jeans, a black off-the-shoulders top with white wings on the front, a black dress with a slit and a dangerously low dip on the back, and other clothes before making a move to go into the dressing room when a familiar voice said her name.
"Seiya?"
Seiya turned around, smiling at the sight of Usagi standing behind her. "Hi, Usagi. How are you doing?"
Usagi narrowed her eyes angrily and said,"Fine, even though I'm shocked that you even asked since you haven't talked to me since last year."
Seiya looked into Usagi's eyes, noticing the anger and hurt within her azure eyes. "I'm sorry. I've just been busy and-."
"I know that, but I've been calling you and you just ignore my calls even when you're not busy, Seiya! I thought that we were friends!"
Seiya sighed, sitting the clothes down on the counter and ignored the stares that she and Usagi were getting. "We are, but-."
"But what, Seiya? What? You always promised that you'll always be there for me and..., " cried Usagi angrily, trailing off and shook her head, sighing.
Seiya looked sadly into Usagi's eyes and asked softly as she reached out to her,"And what?"
Usagi shook her head, walking pass Seiya while murmuring a 'nevermind' under her breath and walked out of the store.
Seiya grabbed her shopping bags, jogging after Usagi and yelled,"What's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"
Usagi snapped around, shoving Seiya away from her. "Yes you have! Now get out of my face!"
Seiya stumbled backwards, watching as Usagi ran off into the crowd and caught a glimpse of tears within her eyes. "What have I done?" she whispered to herself, turning around and walked back to the store to wait for Yaten and Taiki.
