Three Lights and Haruka


Haruka mumbled to herself as she walked down the street.
"I can't STAND them. Why did they have to come here. Now instead of being Shooting Stars, they're Super Stars. I can't STAND them. ESPECIALLY Kou Seiya."

She didn't know why, but her feet had brought her in the direction of their house. Luckily, she didn't need the urge to go inside and insult them, because they were coming out.

"Do I HAVE to come?" Yaten whined.
"YES. You need fresh air, Yaten-kun." Seiya smiled. "I'll be attacked." He whined some more.
"By who?" Taiki asked.
"Who ELSE?!?" Yaten screamed, then he looked away from the house and saw that who else.
"Haruka." The three of them whispered.

"Ara. Konnichiwa Thing, It, and Nerd." She smiled.

"I am NOT an it!!" Yaten screamed.
"Fine. You're a cockroach." She compromised.
"Hmph." Yaten looked away.
"Don't call him Nerd, Tomboy-san." Seiya said.
"Shut up, you Thing." She glared. "Gomen for calling you a nerd, Nerd." Haruka smirked.
"Yes, Haruka." Taiki got to his knees. "Call me Nerd WHENEVER you like. I don't mind." He said, almost panting.

Haruka looked like she was about to laugh at Taiki's actions, but Yaten stopped that thought.

"GET YOUR SKINNY ASS UP!!!!" Yaten screeched. Taiki had the slightest hint of anger on his face when he looked at Yaten. But the REST of it was some sort of longing and lust when he looked back to Haruka. He was on his knees, looking her up and down, smiling, and blushing furiously.

Haruka stood there, open-mouthed, feeling almost frozen.
"Shimatta." Seiya whispered.
Taiki was tempted to get up and kiss her. But as soon as the thought went through his mind fully, they were dragging Taiki into the car, with no further questions, yet. Taiki was still staring at Haruka as they dragged him in and when they drove off. Then he just stared in her general direction when they turned the corner.

"What was that all about?" Haruka asked herself, trying to shake off the look Taiki that had worn when he looked at her, but she wasn't succeeding. "The Nerd's got the hots for..."

****

"HARUKA?!?!" Yaten screamed.
"Nani?" Taiki asked innocently.
"What is WRONG with you?!?" Seiya screamed.
"Nothing, I think." Taiki looked confused. "Why?"
"Why fall in love with Haruka NOW?" Yaten asked.
"What do you mean?" Taiki asked looked very confused.
"Taiki no Baka. He means why didn't you start to like her BEFORE she hated us?" Seiya explained.

"Ara. She'll cool down, don't worry." Taiki smiled. Yaten just stared. Seiya would have, but he was driving.

"Why DO you like her?" Seiya asked, looking just as confused as Taiki had.

"She's strong, sexy, and rather pretty." Taiki said.
Yaten gagged. "Kou Yaten, I SWEAR if you gag even 1 more time, your hair will be white because you're DEAD!" Taiki yelled, no longer smiling.

Yaten shut up right away.

****

"Konnichiwa Haruka!! How was YOUR day?" Michiru asked, looking unusually happy.

"VERY weird. The Nerd was looking at me." Haruka said.

"Taiki is the Nerd? What's wrong with looking at you?" Michiru asked.

"Iie, I mean LOOKING at me." Haruka shivered. "He looked me up and down while he was praising me, onegai, don't ask. He smiled and blushed madly. It's like he's in love with me."

"Seriously?" Michiru asked again. Haruka nodded. "Wow. Well, he only looked you up and down."

"It's different. Taiki wouldn't just do that for the Hell of it. Or to freak me out. He likes me." Haruka confirmed. "That's that."

"Hai. That IS that." Michiru agreed. "I bet Yaten and Seiya are getting to the bottom of this. By the way, what did they do when he started to stare?"

"They picked him up and dragged him away." Haruka laughed. "Taiki didn't take his eyes off me the whole time."

BRING BRING

"Moshi Moshi? Ara, it's you." Haruka said in an exasperated tone.

"Hai?"
"Are you angry at me for looking at you?" Taiki asked.
"Yes! What the Hell were you THINKING?!?" Haruka replied.
"I don't know..."
"Haruka, I've got something important to tell you." Michiru said.
"I have to go, Taiki. Ja ne."
"Ja ne." Taiki said. He turned to Seiya and Yaten and smiled. "She called me Taiki." Then he fainted.

They rolled their eyes.
"Let's bring him over to the couch." Seiya said. So they did. Not long after, Taiki woke back up.

****

"What did you have to tell me?" Haruka asked.
"Well, all the Inners, Hotaru, Setsuna, and I were thinking about having a sleepover." Michiru answered.

"Great-" Haruka was cut off.
"Not great. It's only for the girls." Michiru frowned. "Michi, in case you HAVEN'T noticed, I AM A GIRL!!!!!" Haruka yelled, not believing she wasn't invited to an all girls sleepover, and she WAS one.

"I'm sorry Haruka, but you're too much like a guy."
"Are the Lights coming?"
"No."
"They're girls, too."
"That can change INTO boys and have the essentials."
"I didn't think about that."
"You'll be staying at their house."
"NANI?!?! But TAIKI, the NERD, will be there. And so will the Thing and Cockroach!!" Haruka whined. "And like you said, they have the essentials!!!"

"Too bad. Get used to them. This is a week sleepover." Michiru smiled.

"They shouldn't try anything."
"No, don't"
"Yes." She said picking up the phone and dialing. "Hello, hi Taiki. Can I speak with Seiya? Arigatou." She waited. "Seiya, Haruka will be spending the week at your house." Haruka fainted right there. If you listened closely, you could hear that Seiya did, too.

****

DAY 1

"Don't make me go!!" Haruka screamed. She was tied into her seatbelt, rather than buckled in. Michiru did NOT want her to get away.

"I'll take these," Michiru smiled, taking the keys out of Haruka's pocket. "so you can't get in."

They drove off and were soon at the home of the Three Lights. Taiki opened the door.

"H-Haruka-san? Michiru-san?" Taiki stuttered.
"Hai." Michiru still had Haruka tied up and she gagged her so she wouldn't talk yet. "The GIRLS," she glared at Haruka. "are having a week long sleepover and Haruka is staying here."

"Really?!? Is that why Seiya fainted?" Taiki asked.
"Yes, it is. Is he awake?" Michiru asked.
"Iie." Taiki replied. "I'll take Haruka-san inside. Geh...why is she tied up?"
"She wasn't getting away." Michiru smiled. "Ja ne, Taiki."
"Ja."
Taiki brought Haruka inside, locked the door, and untied her.

"At least your house is decent." Haruka said, looking around. She took a straw out of her pocket and chewed on a piece of paper. Then she shot it through the straw and hit Seiya right on the head.

"YEOUCH!! HARUKA!!" Seiya screeched, finally getting up.

"Haruka, don't do that." Taiki said.

"Shut-up." She replied. Taiki tackled her to the floor. "Get off me. I won't do it again." He kissed her. Haruka kicked him off. Seiya laughed his head off. "I'm gonna KILL you Nerd, but the Thing goes first!!"

"AHHHH!" Seiya yelled, running up the stairs.
"Get back here!" Haruka yelled, following him. He slammed the door in her face. "Come out here and fight like the fake man you are!!"

Haruka burst in and she punched him so he couldn't breathe. But that was all she could do because Yaten came from behind and grabbed her neck.

"Get...off...me...Cockroach!!" Haruka did her best to say.

"Not until you apologize!" Yaten yelled, still not letting her go.

"G-g-gomen nasi!! Let me go!" Yaten dropped her and she lay there panting. Seiya, too, was still panting. Five minutes later, they both got up and were about to go at each other again when Yaten grabbed Seiya, and Taiki grabbed Haruka.

"LET ME GO SO I CAN KILL THAT KOROUTO!!" Seiya screamed.
"KOROUTO?!? YOU KISAMA! YOU'RE DEAD!!!!!!!" Haruka screamed.

"SHUT-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Taiki and Yaten both screamed. Haruka and Seiya went quiet.

"Nerd, get your hand OFF my ass and let me go!" Haruka screamed. She kicked him.

"Ouch." Taiki said, falling to the ground. "Gomen nasi, Haruka-sama." He squeaked.

"Let GO Yaten!" Seiya yelled. He got an arm free and smacked him.

"SHIT SEIYA!!" Yaten screamed. He scratched Seiya so hard he bled.

"Yaten." Seiya mumbled going to the bathroom to wash up.

"Kiss ass, Taiki." Haruka said.
"I'll kiss yours." He tried to smile.
"Hentai." She said running down the hall.

****

She ran into a room and turned on the TV. Fushigi Yuugi was on. She chanted with it.

"Miaka! Miaka Cookoo Cacca!!" Haruka chanted. They found her instantly.

"Nani? Go away!" She said, throwing a pillow at each of them.

"Get off my bed, Haruka." Seiya said.
"YOUR bed? Nice..." Haruka said spreading out so he couldn't get on.
"Gomen, but your bed is too soft to get off."
"Get OFF!" Seiya said, jumping on top of her. They fought on the bed until they rolled onto the floor. When Seiya grabbed somewhere unexpected, he REALLY got it.

"OUCH!! You Ecchi Hentai!" Haruka screamed when she kicked him.

"Ouch." He was holding himself close. Taiki and Yaten sucked in their breath.

Haruka brought her bag into the bathroom and came out in her night shirt and shorts. Then she lay back on the bed and watched Fushigi Yuugi like nothing had happened.

****

Day 2, 4:00 A.M.

Seiya lay there in the dark, on the floor, thinking.

'Why did I let her have my bed?' Seiya asked himself. He looked down. It hurt no longer, but he wouldn't forget that. 'Ara, hai.'

He got up and watched Haruka sleep. She looked so peaceful and no longer life threatening.

'She IS cute. BAKA!! Don't think like Taiki.' He smiled. He lightly kissed her on the lips. But before Seiya could rise, Haruka's hands were behind his head, so he couldn't move.

'What?' Seiya wondered. 'Haruka's still asleep, isn't she?'

Haruka was Frenching him, and she didn't know it.

"Mmmm." Seiya moaned. 'Yeah, she's asleep. She WOULDN'T have done that if she were awake.'

She let him go and went fully back to sleep smiling. Seiya lay back on the floor, dazed, and also went to sleep smiling.

****

"Ohayo, Haruka." Seiya said, shaking her.
"Nani? Ara, hello." Haruka smiled.
'Oh Kami. She smiled.' Seiya did his best not to let his reaction to that show.

"If you want a warm shower, I advise you go now, before-" Seiya was cut of by a door slam. He sighed. "Yaten wakes up."

Haruka just laughed. "I am going to get that short excuse for a model."

"You seem happier. Why?" Seiya asked. Haruka shrugged. She left the room and jumped from the top floor onto the couch before Taiki could sit down.

"Ohayo, Taiki." Haruka yawned.
"Ohayo." Taiki answered. He sat down next to her. "Have a good sleep in Seiya's bed?"

"Hai. And the WEIRDEST yet wonderful dream to go with it."

Seiya ran down the stairs and as usual, snatched the paper out of Taiki's hands.

"Give that back because I was still reading it!" Taiki yelled, running after him. They got into a short fight, forgetting all about the paper. Haruka just walked over, picked it up, and went back to the couch.

"Guys," Haruka said. They stopped fighting. "There's a carnival. We can go because Michi let me keep my money. I stuck it all in my pocket before she said I was staying here.

"Okay." They answered.

Yaten walked slowly downstairs. "It's free Haruka and yes, there's hot water."

Haruka ran upstairs and closed the door to the shower.

"Hey, that's MY job." Taiki complained. "Why are YOU two being nice?"

Seiya only shrugged and turned away, so no one saw that he blushed.

"I'll be nice until she gets on my nerves." Yaten said.

****

Haruka came down, 7 minutes later fully dressed.

"Haruka, why are you wearing your racing suit?" Yaten asked.

"I have to race today. Practice, anyway. I'll be back by 3:00." Haruka replied.

"But it looks, so tight." Yaten said in disgust. He wasn't they type of boy Taiki and Seiya were. "Those curves shouldn't show through that. Or are the designers perverts?"

"NO! MEN wear these racing suits!" Haruka yelled.

"Do they, or was that one specially made for a girl?"

"That's IT Yaten!" Haruka ran after him. "Bring it!"

BRING BRING

"I'll get it." Taiki said. "Moshi Moshi?"
"Ara, Ohayo Taiki." Michiru said. "How is Haruka holding out?"
"Well," Taiki said, dodging pillows, pencils, and other objects.
"Haruka and Yaten are trying to kill each other by throwing things." Yaten could be heard moaning in the background. "And since Haruka just threw Yaten, I think she won."

"What did she do to you and Seiya?" Michiru asked. "Well, she's kicked me twice, and I'd rather not say where. She's kicked Seiya and punched Seiya so he couldn't breathe, which is when Yaten and I had to stop them. Haruka ran to Seiya's room and she wouldn't get off his bed, so she fought him, and obviously won, because Seiya slept on the floor that night, unable to use the bathroom because it hurt." Taiki replied.

"Ouch. She got the bed. Sounds normal. Tell her to calm down, though.

Can I talk with her?" Michiru asked.
"No. She just left for practice."
"Okay. Ja ne."
"Ja."
****

"How's Haruka-san doing, Michiru-san?" Usagi asked.

"Normal as ever for now. She just TOTALLY kicked Yaten's ass." Michiru replied.

"Ara, she hurt MY Yaten-kun?!?" Minako whined.

"Mina-chan, do us a favor and shut-up. Yaten-kun will be fine." Rei said nastily.

"What about Taiki-kun?" Ami asked.

"He's been kicked twice in the essentials." Michiru said.

"Seiya?" Usagi and Rei asked together.

"Kicked in the essentials, punched till he couldn't breathe, and then beaten up totally because Haruka wouldn't get out of his bed."

"Poor guys." Makoto said. "Did you HAVE to make her stay with them?"

"Yes. You know how she can get."

"But Michiru," Setsuna said. "You know how she thinks the Inners can be too babyish."

"Hai." All the Inners agreed.
"And Mama," Hotaru said. "You know she wouldn't."
"Okay. She can come next time." Michiru smiled.
****

"Let's go to the Carnival!" Haruka yelled, coming down in some shorts and a T-Shirt.

"Hai!" The Lights agreed.

At the Carnival, Seiya and Haruka were acting like 5-11 Year olds and it was their first time there. They rode on EVERYTHING together. Yaten and Taiki even went on some of the upside-down ones.

"Let's get on this one." Haruka said, grabbing Seiya arm, not even giving him a chance to answer. So they went on the Corkscrew.

"I've got a pretty good one, too." Seiya said, grabbing Haruka's arm, pulling her to the Cyclops.

They went all night like this, re-riding the ones they liked most. Taiki had to calm Haruka down by taking her on the Ferris Wheel. Seiya and the rest of them went on the Log Flume and cooled off. Yaten almost made himself sick watching Haruka and Seiya eat so fast.

"I'll be right back." Yaten said, looking as if he would pass out.

"Shimatta." Taiki said, running after him.

"They're gone." Seiya smiled.

"Hai." Haruka said. "Let's go to the test track and say we're professionals come to race."

"Yeah. But you are a professional." Seiya laughed. "They'd love to watch us."

So off to the Test Track. Taiki and Yaten came back.

"Where do you think they went?" Taiki asked. "You know them. They LOVE to race. We'll check there first." Yaten said, now feeling much better.

There they were.

"HARUKA!! SEIYA!! COME ON!!" Taiki and Yaten yelled together.

"Iie!!!!" They both replied.

"I'm going to count to three, and if you two aren't out here I'm going to scream, fry you, and we'll never come here again!!!!!!" Yaten yelled. "ONE!!"

They were already by his side.

"Arigatou. I feel cranky. I need sleep. Before I get angry. And you KNOW what happens when I'm angry and tired."

"LET'S GO!!" Seiya and Taiki said, grabbing Haruka, who was clueless, pulling her toward the car.

****

Day 3, 2:00 AM

Back from the Carnival and in a good mood, Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, and Haruka came inside, took off their shoes, put on their night clothes, and plopped down ANYWHERE in Seiya's room.

"That was fun." Yaten said. "I'm surprised I actually didn't throw up."

"Hai. I'm surprised that Haruka went on the Ferris Wheel with me." Taiki said.

"And I'm surprised I went on EVERYTHING else with Seiya." Haruka said.

"Well, we like the same rides." Seiya said.

"I'm going to bed." Yaten said, rising to leave. "Konban wa."

"Good night." They all said.

"Night Haruka." Taiki said. He kissed her on the cheek and ran, but she didn't run after him.

"Get over it, Haruka." She said to herself.

"Good night, Haruka." Seiya said.

"You can sleep in the bed tonight." Haruka said.

"You'll sleep on the floor?" Seiya asked.

"I didn't say that." She smiled.

"Then it's fine with me." Seiya smiled. So he got in with her. "This bed has more space then I thought." He paused. 'Okay, I think I can tell her now.'

Seiya took a deep breath. "Haruka, did you know I kissed you last night and then you Frenched me?"

"Nani? That wasn't a dream?" Haruka asked.

"You knew?"

"I said I thought it was a dream."

"So you'd kiss me in your dreams only?"

Haruka kissed him and stuck her tongue in deep. They were kissing for a while. "There's your answer." Haruka smiled.

She lay on top of him, and that's the way they slept.

****

"What the-, Seiya!" Taiki yelled.

"Huh," Seiya did his best to open his eyes and look around. "Ara, it's you."

"What are you doing with Haruka?" Taiki asked.

"Well, I WAS sleeping. LUCKILY, Haruka didn't wake up by your YELLING." Seiya yelled.

"Oh." Taiki glared. "Well, it's pancake day, and you know how Yaten gets..."

"Yeah." Seiya smiled.

"I've ordered us some pancakes and eggs to eat. I'll make those two some food when they get up." Taiki said.

"Okay then." Seiya agreed. "One problem. I can't get up."

"Ha-ha." Taiki said. They both rolled Haruka over as lightly as they could without waking her up. "Let's go."

"S-seiya?" Haruka said groggily.

"Go back to sleep, Tomboy-kun dear." Seiya whispered.

"Hai, sweetie." Haruka smiled.

Seiya kissed her until she fell back onto her pillow. Then Haruka was out cold.

"Tomboy-kun DEAR?!?! SWEETIE?!?!?! KISS HER TILL SHE FALLS OUT FROM EXHAUSTION?!?!?" Taiki yelled. Seiya just shrugged. They crept to the kitchen and ate.

****

At the Breakfast Table, Haruka and Yaten are eating, while Seiya and Taiki watch.

"These are good, Taiki." Haruka said, her mouth still full.

"Hai, they are." Yaten said, about to take the whole plate of pancakes.

"Kou Yaten, I SWEAR, I like you now, but I will cut off that hand if you touch that plate again because I've only had 3 and you've had 10!!" Haruka yelled, that deadly look in her eyes again.

"Okay." Yaten said quietly. He snatched a pancake and ran. Seiya held Haruka back.

"It's not worth it, Ruka." Seiya said.

"Fine." She replied, taking the other 5 pancakes off the plate.

"How can you three eat so much?" Taiki asked.

"Ask Usagi." Seiya and Haruka answered in unison.

****

"Something doesn't seem right." Michiru said all of a sudden. "Maybe I shouldn't have made this sleepover so long."

"Maybe you're right." Minako said.

"I shouldn't have been so quick to judge her."

"It's fine. You KNOW she's fine." Usagi smiled.

"She always is." Ami said.

"Something just doesn't feel right about my decision to leave Haruka with them." Michiru whined.

"What do you mean?" Hotaru asked.

"Well," Michiru started. "The reason I didn't let the Lights come is because I said they could have the essentials and she complained about that."

"Why?" Usagi asked.

"Baka." the Inners said.

"She's with them and they will have them since that is how they mostly stay." Michiru explained. "I told her they SHOULDN'T try anything, not they WOULDN'T try anything. I'm worried."

"Should you get her?" Makoto asked. "You can if you want to."

"If it makes you feel better." Ami added.

"No, I think I'll call them."

****

Seiya, Taiki and Haruka went to sit on the couch. Yaten was there waiting for them, sprawled out over one of them.

"Ara, hello." Yaten smirked.

"Yaten, will you move?" Haruka asked.

"No. I'm too full to move." Yaten whined.

Haruka sighed. Taiki was already in the armchair. There was a loveseat left. "Itai."

"I know. But I need to sit down." Seiya said, ignoring Haruka. He sat down. "You coming over, or what?"

"Fine." Haruka agreed.

"You have some milk on your face." Seiya said.

"Where?" Haruka asked.

"Right there." Seiya smiled. He kissed her, getting rid of the milk. Haruka gasped, but let him continue to kiss her. Taiki stared in jealousy and Yaten stared in amusement.

BRING BRING

Taiki got up, happy to leave the scene still taking place, and answered the phone.

"Moshi Moshi?" Taiki asked. "Ara, hello again Michiru-san."

"Hello Taiki." Michiru said. "How are you?"

"Just...fine" Taiki said slowly.

"What's wrong?" Michiru asked, noting the hint of jealousy.

"Nothing."

"Okay...Can I talk with Haruka, then?"

Taiki sucked in his breath quietly. "Iie, you can't. She's busy..." Taiki trailed off.

"Doing WHAT?" Michiru asked impatiently.

"Believe me. I don't think she'll be able to talk right now." Taiki assured her.

"Why? What is she doing?" Michiru asked, becoming more agitated.

Taiki sensed that. "Geh...let's just say she's tongue tied at the moment..."

"Kami Shimatta..." Michiru trailed off. She dropped the phone. You could hear voices in the background.

:Michiru-san? Why did you drop the phone? Michiru-san?!?!:

"I'm sorry Taiki, but Michiru left." Ami said, picking up the phone.

"LEFT?!? Great." Taiki sighed. "Arigatou. Ja ne."

"Ja ne."

CLICK

"Itai." Taiki said, running over to Seiya and Haruka. "I advise you guys to stop, now."

They were still going strong. "Go...away." Haruka said in between kisses.

"I'm serious."

"Why should we?" Seiya stopped to say.

"Because Michiru will-" Taiki was cut off. He was knocked down, again, and he watched Michiru come up and smack Seiya and Haruka.

"Nani? What was THAT for?" Haruka asked.

"I leave you here and you do this to me. Seiya, I thought better of you." Michiru fumed.

"Huh?" They both replied.

"I didn't think you two would be all over each other in just 3 days." Michiru said, calming down.

"I'm sorry." Haruka said.

"I didn't think this would happen." Seiya said.

"Sorry isn't cutting it now." Michiru said, pinching Haruka. She yelped. "Let's go."

"But Michi-"

"LET'S GO!"

"Bye Ruka." Seiya whispered.

"RUKA?!?! HARUKA!!!!" Michiru yelled.

"Oops."

Michiru rushed Haruka out. Seiya and the rest of them watched them watched her wave and get smacked again. Yaten laughed his head off.

"I'm sorry, but these past 3 days have been TOO eventful for me." Yaten laughed on his way upstairs.

They sat in silence for an hour until Seiya's cell phone rang. He watched as words appeared on it.

: Hi! Sorry I put you through that scene. I'll have to see you guys later. I'm hiding in the closet. Uh-oh. I think I hear Michi. Ja ne! =) :

"Kami." They laughed.

Seiya looked over by his bed and smiled. "I think she forgot something."

"What?" Taiki asked.

"Her clothes. She's still in her pajamas, remember?"

"Oh yeah." Taiki laughed. "Hey. We could give her the pieces one by one..."

"The underwear, too?" Seiya asked curiously.

"No. I think I'll keep those." Taiki smiled. They both burst out laughing again.

"I think we'll be seeing a lot of her..." Seiya smiled.
