Please Don't Forget Me ... Please

Chapter 14

Seiya growled, gripping her pen tightly as she read over her latest lyrics, melodies, and harmonies for her debut CD for the deluxe version of the Three Lights's upcoming album.

"You seem like you're in a bad mood today, "came Taiki's voice from the doorway of Seiya's room.

Seiya growled again in fustration, throwing her songbook down in disgust. "I am! All of these songs are based on HER and it's so damn fucking frustrating because all of these songs make me sound like I'm in an unrequited love and a lovesick freak!"

Taiki looked at Seiya with pity and thought 'If only you knew that you were in an unrequited love.'

"What 'her' are you referring to, Seiya? Is it our princess?" asked Taiki, sitting down beside Seiya as the younger girl rubbed at her temple.

Seiya shook her head, glaring at her songbook. "No, it's not our princess. It's Odango. She's been stuck in my head and I can't get her out! Everything reminds me of her! I can't possibly be in love with her! I swore that I'd never fall in love because I'm a Sailor Senshi and have a duty to Kinmoku!"

Taiki said,"We know that. But are you sure that you don't just miss Tsukino-san?" She watched as Seiya laid down on her bed with her arms crossed across her chest and felt a pang of shame and pity.

Seiya said, "No, I don't! It's not like we'll be here any longer, and she doesn't want to fucking see me anymore! So why should I care about, let along miss her?!"

Yaten asked as she walked into the room with a green towel wrapped around her body and another towel around her head,"Who and what don't you miss? What did I miss?"

Taiki smacked herself on the forehead, letting out an exasperated sigh. "Yaten! Go put some clothes on for crying out loud!"

Yaten rolled her eyes, sighing in annoyance. "Fine! I'm going! I'm going!" Then she stomped out of the room.

Taiki shook her head, rubbing her temple. "When will she grow up?"

"When will your forehead shrink?" replied Yaten, dressed in a pair of black capri pants with "Pretty Girl" across her butt and a grey spaghetti top, and continued to glare at Taiki.

"Oh hush up, Yaten, " said Taiki, sending her a disapproving look.

"Fine, but what's wrong with her?" asked Yaten, gesturing to Seiya from her place on her bed.

"I can't come up with any good songs that don't revolve around her, " replied Seiya, continuing to fume.

"What 'her' are you talking about?" asked an amused Yaten, slight dread developing within her chest at the possibly of the 'her' that Seiya was talking about could be Usagi.

"Usagi."

Yaten internally cursed at herself, an impassive look still present on her face. "Not surprised a bit from the way you'd follow her around like that one sheep that followed Mary around in that one book."

"Yaten!" scolded Taiki, sending her another disapproving look.

"What? It's the truth, " replied Yaten indifferently, shrugging mid-sentence.

Seiya growled out angrily while clutching her head, "Why do I feel this way? Why can't I remember?"

"Who knows. Now can we see your song lyrics to see if we can help?" said Yaten in exasperation.

Seiya sighed, picking up her songbook and opened it to one of the recent songs she has written.

"What are you waiting for? Sing!" cried Yaten, preparing for the impending doom coming from the upcoming words that might come from Seiya's mouth.

Seiya sighed, opening her mouth as she sat straight up. Then her powerful, melodic voice started to flow flawlessly from her lips.

Kagayaku shiroi sekai no naka ni

Tsubasa wo hirogeta kimi ga iru

Demo sono tsubasa wa kuroku omoku

Unmei ni kimi wa oshitsubusaresou

Tasuketai, sukuitai, ore ni dekiru nara

Inochi sae nagedashite, kimi no tame ni... Fuan no toki, tsurai toki, ore ga tsuite iru Itsumo misete ite kure, kimi no egao

Seiya no ore ga kanjiru, fushigi na kimochi

Faitaa no ore ga kanjiru, shimeikan to wa chigatta...

Kitto ginga ichi mibun chigai na kataomoi da ne

Then she stopped, looking at Yaten and Taiki with anticipation as they stared blankly at her with a weird glazed look within their eyes.

Yaten shook her head, breaking out of her momentary stupor and asked crossly in mock annoyance to cover up her feeling of dread and shock,"That's it? That's all of it?"

Seiya shook her head, sighing and said, "No. I have several other songs that are similar and it's just frustrating. I just can't get her out of my head."

"Why not just call her and get her to talk to you to clear your head from her then?"

Taiki sent Yaten a look, shaking her head and mouthed without Seiya noticing, "We can't allow it. Might cause her to become even worst then before if she remembers everything by being near Tsukino-san. We can't afford her becoming lovesick again.

Yaten rolled her eyes and said, "Then again might not work. Why not just go take a nap and-."

Seiya shook her head, getting up and replied, "I can't. I just see her everywhere. It's like I'm in love with her or something. I just can't focus without her being in my head. And my heart just ..." She trailed off, shaking her head again and moved towards her door.

"Where are you going?" asked Taiki, a feeling of dread crossing over within her as she watched the younger woman grab her keys.

"For a walk, " came the reply, followed by Seiya disappearing out of view. The sound of the penthouse's door opening and closing echoing within their ears.

"This is just screwed up, " sighed out Yaten in exasperation and laid down on Seiya's bed.

Taiki nodded her head and looked over at Seiya's songbook.

Seiya looked up at the apartment door, raising a fist to knock on the door and lowered it afterwards.

'I can't do this. She hates me, but I must see her to apologize. I NEED to see her. But what if ...'

She shook her head and raised her hand before lowering it again, then repeated the action with a few more times with several 'what ifs' through her head until she turned away to leave.

"I can't do this. I just can't. I'm just so fucking stupid! This is just pointless! I just can't do this!" cried Seiya, punching the wall with an angry yell and made a move to leave when a cold chill went down her back.

*Flash*

"I must be stupid."

*Flash*

She looked at Usagi's apartment door again, then at her own feet and shoved her hands into her pockets.

Then Seiya turned away, making her way to the elevator when it suddenly opened.

Shocked sapphire met sorrowful midnight blue. A pregnant silence settles between them as the former of the two stepped out of the elevator, until one word flowed beautifully to the taller woman's ears.

"Seiya?"
