Part 16: Seiya in Trouble

Seiya sat quietly watching the television but he was not in the mood to watch a show. Then there was a movement on his side and smiled. He smiled even more recalling the moments taking care of these kitten with Usagi. After a few seconds, his face took on the brooding expression it had worn for the last two hours. He stretched his long legs, glancing at his watch and then reaching for the glass of brandy at the side of him. Taking a swallow, he let the neat alcohol burn a path down his throat into his stomach before replacing the glass on the table by his chair.

The door opened, a furious Yaten emerged. "MURI! IIE! Seiya!" he said, shaking his head while looking at Seiya. Seiya saw Taiki sighing while standing Yaten. "I love cats but I can't take care of many kittens like this!" he added,

Seiya blew out a sigh, then scrubbed his hands over his face.

"Oh no! Don't give me that expression Seiya! It will not work out" Yaten said, crossing his arms.

"What would she make of my phone message when she heard it in the morning?" Seiya whispered,

"I don't think he is listening..." Taiki said, patting Yaten's shoulder.

"Eh?" (Yaten)

"Kuso!" Seiya cussed as he moved irritably, shaking his head. He stood up which made the two surprised and walked away from them leaving the cats on the couch.

"Seiya-" Yaten stopped when he felt Taiki's hand once again in his shoulder, he looked at him and saw him shaking his head.

Both just sighed.

Haruka was about to take a bath before eating her dinner, when her cell phone rang. "Moshi?"

"Haruka-kun.."

Haruka blinked, "Koneko-chan?"

There was a moment of silence. "Hai.."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothin...Nothing..." She heard her clear her throat. "I was just wondering if you're free tonight and wanted to have a dinner with me?" she asked, hesitantly. "That's if you haven't had other plans..."

"Sure. I was about to take a bath and eat but, bath can wait...um, You want me to pick you up?" she asked,

Another Silence. Then she said, "A-Actually... I'm already outside your apartment.. leaning at your car..."

"WHAT? It's Cold outside! You're gonna get sick! Baka Koneko-chan, Come inside" she said,

"It's ok...I'm fine here" she mumbled helplessly.

"Okay just give me a few seconds, I'll just grab my shirt and I'll be there" Haruka said,

The Plan changed as Haruka drove the car with Usagi. They ended up choosing a diner instead of a fancy restaurant. When they were seated, Usagi sat down and tried not to stare at the assorted diners. There were lots of them, almost every table was full and although some were what she'd term ordinary folk, there were others who were anything but that. One man was literally covered their head to foot with tattoos, Haruka smirked when she saw where she was looking. "I love going to this diner because most people who eat here are bikers like me"

"Oh you want to be noticed?" Usagi asked, blinking.

Haruka's eyebrow raised, "You can really be direct my princess" she shakes her head, "Well aside from that, this place is the latest rage" she added. "Plus we can talk here without being interrupt," she added, while observing her.

After a few seconds, their order where served. Both just ate their food quietly. Haruka just waited for Usagi to finish her food and talk. After a few minutes more, she saw her took a sip of her tea and then looked up. "So what's up?" Haruka asked, her eyes watching her thoughtfully, her eyes very serious.

"About Seiya..."

"What about him?"

"Rei told me that you made me and Seiya... date-"

"Correction Princess. Friendly date" Haruka said, pointing out and emphasizing the word "Friendly".

"Hai..." she carefully put her glass down, and looked directly at her. "Why?" she asked,

Haruka shrugged. "Maybe because its the right thing to do?" She paused, then added. "I mean in the future, we need to build up the friendship"

"Yeah right..." she murmured,

"If I know you better, you would agree with this... Koneko-chan" she said, lowering her head to meet the princess' eyes.

Usagi swallowed, jerking her eyes away as she warned herself she couldn't trust her sight where Haruka was concerned- or the rest of her senses, come to that. She wanted to keep these feelings for herself, if Haruka's purpose is to build a friendship then she must not know her true feelings for Seiya. But her tiny voice deep inside prompted her to carry on, "Hai... but isn't it a bit early for building it up? because of Seiya's feelings for me?"

"But Seiya Moved on" Haruka said, "He doesn't have any feelings for you anymore, Koneko-chan"

It was the answer and yet the answer she doesn't want to hear. It was dreadful sentence for her, that Seiya finally moved on. Though it was what she wants before, but she felt sick about it. She sighed inwardly. She wanted to burst into tears but she can't. Not in front of Haruka.

Haruka smiled as her eyes followed Usagi's frame until it disappeared in the night. She hurriedly picked up her phone and called Seiya and Minako. She knew now that the princess is hurting from the plan, as she observe her, she thought of a plan that is why after a few minutes, Minako, Seiya and her are in the park. She carefully told the two of them about it. Seiya was a little skeptic, but Minako is very excited.

"This looks beautiful!" Rei exclaimed while showing the wedding dress to Usagi. Rei wasn't joking. The wedding dress is truly beautiful, the sequins formed a delicate tracery of vines on the bodice. A cluster of palest pink silk roses gathered the back of the full satin skirt into the faintest hint of a bustle. "This should be your wedding dress Usagi!" she yelled,

Usagi controlled her sigh and was about to try the dress, when the dress was snatched in her hands.

"HEY!" Rei yelled,

The woman twirled and pose as a model. "This gown looks so gorgeous!" she said, looking at the mirror. The woman was gorgeous. She had the long, learn look of a model - except for the large firm breast that threaten to bounce right out of her low-cut dress. She was wearing heels too, fantastic purple shoes, with her long blonde blonde twisted hair and her light blue eyes.

"Hey Lady. We were first-"

The woman blinked, "Oh I'm sorry but it seems she doesn't want it" she said,

"She was about to try it-" Rei was stopped by Usagi.

"It's ok. She can have it" Usagi said, smiling.

"Arigatou!" The woman said, "My Fiance will sure going to love this, and in no one time he'll propose to me" she said, giggling.

Rei frowned, while Usagi just looked at the girl twirling. She envy her.

"This is not going to work," Seiya said, walking left and right outside Tsukino's residence. He has been there for an hour and wanted to knock but he couldn't.

"I just can't believe you just gave away that beautiful wedding dress" Rei said, growling at her best friend. "Seriously-" she stopped seeing Seiya.

"Rei, she was happy-" Usagi also stopped as well. "Seiya?" she asked,

"Y-Yo," Seiya said, forcing his hand to raise up. "Do you guys have a minute?" he asked,

"Sure" Rei said, "What's wrong?" she added, crossing her arms.

"I'm really in trouble right now... I'm confused..." Seiya said, leaning at the wall. "I didn't know that... I was engaged to a woman..."

"Nani?" Rei and Usagi chorused.

"Hai..." Seiya sighed, "I just found out now... she was a penpal when I was young and-"

"But that's Impossible, you never spend your childhood here" Rei asked,

While Usagi couldn't speak. She felt dizzy for a second. Seiya was getting married? She had never thought... that is, she couldn't quite imagine.

Seiya blinked, "Really? How did you know?" he asked,

Rei stopped, "Never mind."

His eyes crinkled at the corners, "I never imagine I have one you know... but when Yaten gave me the picture, I was like... 'hey she's not bad.' So I agreed to meet her" he said, then he panicked, "But this is so new to me..." he added.

"So Why are you here?" Usagi asked, there was a sarcasm in her voice.

"I'm gonna meet her today, and I am kinda nervous... maybe you can tag along?" he asked, frowning.

"Sure" Rei said smiling.

"Rei!" Usagi whispered.

"This is also a good opportunity for me, to see if you don't have any more feelings for him." she whispered.

Usagi sighed.

Seiya, Usagi and Rei jaw dropped when they met Seiya's fiance. Usagi recognize that she was the woman who snatched the wedding gown. Usagi suddenly felt like a troll next to her. She also frowned seeing Seiya acted foolishly towards her.

"Hi, I'm Akemi Akeno. People call me A.A but you can call me Akemi." she said, smiling while blushing.

"Uh.. m-ma-my name is.. Seiya Kou.. y-you're fiance I guess?" he asked, swallowing. "And these are my friends, Usagi Tsukino and Rei Hino" he said, pointing at them but not taking off his eyes on Akemi. This reaction made Usagi furious.

Akemi smiled blindingly. Her teeth were as white and perfect as the rest of her. "I'm so happy that finally I was able to meet you.. Seiya Kou.. though I know you because you are a celebrity... that's the reason why I really didn't show up.. until now" she said, "Plus I knew you were head over hills with a girl named 'Odango' and I was so heartbroken and jealous" she said, sighing. "But when Yaten told me it was over between you and her, I had to tell you the truth" she said, giggling. "by the way, who is this Odango?" she added,

"That would be me" Usagi abruptly said. Rei and Seiya looked at her. "I.. mean.."

"Oh..." Akemi smiled, "Well now that I've met you, I can see that I didn't need to worry at all" she said,

Startled, Usagi glanced at Akemi's face. Had that woman-girl, really-meant that the way it sounded? She was smiling but there was something in her large blue eyes. A message saying, "Seiya is Mine"

After a two weeks.

Usagi was super dooper upset. Ever since that woman Akemi something, came into Seiya's Life. Seiya had not contacted her anymore; what more Mamoru was busy with his papers for transferring. Everyone is also busy so when she received a call from Seiya after two weeks and asking her to accompany him to the lunch date with Akemi, she didn't think twice but agreed.

Now she's here with the two of them, and wondered why the heck did she agree to come with them when all she can see is them laughing and flirting in front of her. She also hated the fact that the two of them glowed so much. Seiya of course being a celebrity and this woman... being with Seiya or without Seiya, she's still glowing. She sighed and ignored them by looking down at the menu. As Seiya said their orders, Usagi blinked.

"What happened to you, Seiya?" she asked, after the waiter left. "You used to be a strictly meat but now you're a vegetarian?" she asked, And its only been two weeks she wanted to add but she didn't.

"Akemi happened to me," Putting his arm around Akemi, he smiled down at her. "She convinced me to try some healthy food and helped me to make a few changes of myself. I think I have improve ne Usagi-san?"

"I think Appearance is extremely important especially if you're a celebrity. I'm Always careful to wear the right clothes and makeup and watch my weight, I don't count every calorie and I think it's worth it don't you Sei-chan?" she asked,

"Hai."

"Sei-chan?" Usagi asked, her eyes widening.

Before Seiya could reply, the food came in and they just sat there and ate. Usagi started chewing the food and she likes food but she didn't know why for the first time it taste really awful.

"Oh yeah, Sei-chan told me you're already a mother?" she asked, looking at Usagi.

"Yes. and I am proud of it" Usagi said, looking directly at Akemi. "But why did you ask?" she asked,

"Because sooner or later I am going to marry Sei-chan" she said, smiling which made Usagi almost choke her food, "I want nothing more than to be his loving wife, to love him and support him with every fiber of my being. and then we will have children, precious fruit of our deep and eternal love for each other"

Usagi smiled, thinking the woman was joking. But her smile faded when she saw 'Sei-chan' tenderly at Akemi, who gazed back worshipfully. She gagged on her ice-tea.

Her cough broke the spell. "Are you alright?" Seiya asked,

"Hai" she coughed once more to clear her throat and to prevent any resumption of adoring gazing. "Please Excuse me" she said, standing up and walk towards the restroom.

Restroom...

She entered the restroom and washed her hands, glad for the small room to ty to make sense of her fluctuating emotions. Ever since she'd heard of Seiya's new relationship, she'd felt a bit of balance, shaky inside. When he said he will move on, she didn't know it was this fast that he'll fall for another Woman, what more surprising Seiya is not a type of guy who falls easily in love with girls. Girls may fall easily for him, but not him. She washed her hands agai, trying to banish the tears prickling at the back of her eyes. Really, she was being incredibely foolish and selfish. This is what needs to happen. This is what the destiny wants. They are just friends. She was happy for him, she was.

Feeling more in control, she held her palms under the dryer, muttering to herself. "I am very happy for them." She continued casting until she went inside the stalls. After a few minutes, Before Usagi could open the stalls, she heard a woman calling 'Akemi'. She decidedly not to open the stalls first because she doesn't want to be seen or be introduce to any of Akemi's friends.

"Oh my God, Aren't you dating Seiya Kou the celebrity singer?"
"Yes. Am I lucky or what?"
"Oh yes girly you are. But what happened Akemi? Did you had a change of heart? Are you involve in a relationship with him because of Love?"
"Are you crazy? He's incredibly Attractive, straight and rich. He is a celebrity so I bet he has millions in the bank."

Usagi jaw dropped hearing the conversation. Seiya is in Big Trouble!
