Please Don't Forget Me ... Please

Chapter 11

One week later:

"Are you sure about this?" asked a worried Yaten, watching as Seiya slept peacefully in her bed.

Taiki nodded her head, holding up a container of pills. "Yes. This will help."

Yaten sighed, clearing her throat. "SEIYA! GET YOUR ASS UP! YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR PILLS"

Seiya groaned, opening her dark eyes. "Why now? Too early."

Taiki walked over to Seiya, sitting next to her and handed her two pills. "Here. Take these."

"But what are these for?" asked Seiya suspiciously, noticing some strange emotions dance within Taiki's eyes.

Taiki shrugged, smiling despite how guilty she felt about what she and Yaten were doing. "They're for your head injury. Now take them."

Seiya nodded her head, popping the pills into her mouth.

Taiki got up, running a hand through her hair and turned towards Yaten. "Watch Seiya while I go see our manager about our next concert."

"But why do I-?"

Taiki looked into Yaten's eyes, understanding passing between them. "You know exactly why."

Seiya scowled at the way the two were acting, laying on her bed as she watched Taiki and Yaten talk to each other with boredom.

"Fine. But you have to bring me some more cavier. We're all out," replied Yaten.

"I will. Anyway, see you two in a couple of hours," said Taiki as she walked out of the room.

Seiya sighed, rolling her eyes as she held one of her pillows to her chest. "You can go now. I'm planning on going back to sleep anyway. I don't need your funky perfume and morning breath giving me another headache than I already had right now, dwarf."

Yaten glared at Seiya, opening her mouth to threaten her when she felt a familiar light and heard the sound of someone knocking on the door softly

"Ooh, looky, I was saved by the bell. Maybe it's a man that wants to propose to you," taunted Seiya, giggling as the silver-haired girl turned away from her to leave the room.

Yaten sighed, sending one last glare at Seiya before closing the door behind her and walked to the front door. "Why me?"

Then she opened the door to reveal Usagi, who had a big teddy bear in her small hands and some chocolates and cookies, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"To see Seiya. Is she home?" replied Usagi, looking over Yaten's shoulder.

"Yes, she is, but she's asleep right now. Need me to help you with those?" said Yaten, gesturing to the teddy bear, chocolates, and cookies.

Usagi shook her head, walking into the apartment. "No, I don't. But thanks. It was sweet of you to ask."

Yaten watched as the blonde beauty sat down on the couch before sitting the bear, cookies, and chocolates down beside her. "So do you want anything?"

Usagi shook her head again, smiling. "No. I'm fine. But where's Taiki-san?"

Yaten sat down casually on a nearby chair, crossing her legs and raised an eyebrow. "At a conference with our manager. But now that I think about it, where is Minako and the others? Haven't seen them. Are they okay?"

Usagi's smile faded off of her face, looking away sadly. "I don't know. I haven't heard from any of them lately."

Yaten frowned, looking at a saddened Usagi. "What do you mean? Aren't they still around?"

Usagi shook her head sadly, playing with the ring on her ring finger. "No. They all lefted after Minako-chan, Mako-chan, Ami-chan, Rei-chan, and I got out of high school. I haven't heard much from them since then. All I know is that they're all happy and living their dreams."

Yaten asked,"But don't they at least visit?"

Usagi shook her head in response.

Yaten sighed, getting up from her chair and kneeled in front of Usagi. "Want to see Seiya?"

Usagi nodded her head, getting up and followed Yaten to Seiya's room once gathering all of Seiya's gifts.

Yaten knocked on the door, sending a quick, sympathetic glance towards a clearly depressed Usagi. "Seiya! Wake up! You've got company!"

No answer.

Yaten rolled her eyes in annoyance at her younger friend's behavior, knocking on the door a lot more harder. "SEIYA! WOULD YOU GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP ALREADY?"

No answer.

Yaten sighed, growling. "That's it! I'm coming in whether you like it or not!" she yelled angrily in annoyance as she opened Seiya's door and walked in with a worried Usagi trailing behind her.

"Okay now. Time to get up, lazy bones. You've had enough...," said Yaten, trailing off midsentence at the sight before her as her eyes widened in horror.

"SEIYA!"
