Forget

Chapter 4

By: wind

The next day, Princess Kakyuu and Usagi decided to go shopping. At first, everyone wanted to join the two princesses, but most of them were busy. Haruka needed to stay with Michiru since she had a music concert today. Setuna wanted to research more details about the guard net that they were discussing yesterday; Ami and Taiki decided stay to help her. At last, Makoto, Minako and Yaten were going with the two princesses.

Seiya wanted to go to but she was sick. Ami said maybe Seiya’s resistance was weak as she just came to the Earth, and she was at a windy seaside yesterday. That was why she had a fever.

“Hey, Michiru, it is almost time to go,” reminded Haruka when Michiru finished feeding Seiya the special medicine that Ami brought.

“I know. I will be at the door in a minute,” Michiru replied.

“Well then, I’ll take the car out first,” Haruka said as she took the key.

“No, Haruka, I want you to take care Seiya. I will take the car.” Michiru gave Haruka a smile and took the key. Haruka didn’t say no.

After Michiru was gone, Haruka looked back at Setuna’s room. Taiki and Ami were all inside, planning the guard net. The three smartest people were there, Haruka decided not to join their discussion. So, Haruka went to Seiya’s room.

Seiya was lying on the bed; she was sleepy from the medications she had taken earlier.

“Haruka?” Seiya was surprised to see her come in.

“I’m sorry I made you sick.” Haruka sat beside Seiya’s bed. Seiya was wearing one of Haruka’s shirts. They were a bit big on her.

Seiya’s face was red, which looked more like make up than fever. Her long hair was loose. And her lake-blue ribbon was now placed beside her bed.

“I don’t blame you…” Even though Seiya had started feeling ill that morning, her voice was weak already.

Haruka didn’t speak anymore. She moved the ice-pad back into place, which was on Seiya¡¦s forehead before, using a towel to carefully clean Seiya’s sweaty face and neck. Haruka slowly turned Seiya’s body sideways, making it so that Seiya’s back was facing her, and then pulled up her shirt and began drying her back.

Seiya’s black bra showed as Haruka pulled up her shirt. Even though they were both girls, Seiya felt very embarrassed. She hoped Haruka couldn’t see her burning face.

Haruka could feel Seiya’s back as she continued drying her with the towel. Seiya’s skin was beautiful, just like milk, soft and white with no flaws. Haruka gently moved the towel up and down one more time. Then she pulled down the shirt and covered the wonderful back.

“Get some rest now, Seiya,” Haruka said in a low voice and covered her up with the blanket before she left the room.

After the door was closed, Haruka looked at her hand. The feeling of touching Seiya’s skin was still there. Haruka wasn’t a person who loved sex, but she really wanted to have Seiya when she was in the room.

Haruka could smell a light perfume of Kinmoku from her hand. She knew it was from Seiya’s body. Princess Kakyuu, Taiki and Yaten also had the same perfume, but Haruka already knew the difference between theirs and Seiya’s in three days. Seiya’s perfume was slightly sweet; it made Haruka feel like she was eating candy.

And now, that perfume was like a philter to Haruka.

I am…enamored with her…

Haruka knew she wouldn’t fall in love with man; she knew she was lesbian. Although she had many female friends, she was sure they would be her friends or partner forever. Actually, she thought her girlfriend would be like Michiru or Usagi. However, a girl who was similar to herself attracted Haruka; she was deeply in love with her. Haruka laughed at herself; so that meant she was narcissistic, didn’t it? All these years the girl she was longing for was only herself!

But Seiya wouldn’t fall in love with her; this was just a one-side love with no ending. Furthermore, Seiya didn’t belong to their solar system; the planet Kinmoku was billions of light-years away from Earth. Haruka understood that she didn’t have any chance. Also, don’t forget confessing was Haruka’s weakness.

Just keep silent…this is the best for everyone…even though I hate to.

Haruka hated when people gave up without doing anything, but the cost was too big this time.

Haruka went to the kitchen. She made three cup-noodles and brought them to Setuna’s room. Taiki and Ami were standing beside Setuna’s computer and Setuna’s fingers were busying typing the keyboard. Haruka put the cup-noodles on the table and left the room quietly, trying not to disturbed them.

Haruka went to Seiya’s room again, opening the door slightly. This time, Seiya was asleep, unaware that Haruka was sitting beside her.

Perusing Seiya’s sleeping face, Haruka lowered her head down. She understood why she wanted to kiss Seiya yesterday. Now, as she was looking at Seiya’s lips, she had a feeling like a kid finally getting the candy he wants so much but was reluctant to eat it. Haruka used her finger and touched Seiya’s face; it was as soft as Haruka imagined it to be. Her finger slid to Seiya’s mouth and down to her neck. Haruka gave Seiya a gentle kiss before her hand traveled to the blanket and stroked Seiya’s breast lightly.

Seiya’s body felt as if it was Haruka a warning. Haruka knew if she continued, Seiya would wake. So Haruka caught Seiya’s hand and she could feel Seiya’s soft palm and long slim fingers. Since Seiya was ill, her hand was colder than Haruka’s. When a person gets cold, the person will grab warm things. That’s why when Haruka touched Seiya’s hand, Seiya held Haruka’s tightly. Haruka squeezed Seiya’s hand and kissed the back of it.

Finally, she sat down again and watched Seiya sleep.
