Part 2

Seiya walked into the apartment she shared with Taiki and Yaten, getting more upset and frustrated every second she was in the shower to clean herself. How could she have been so careless? Even if she was drunk she should have just left. She sat on the sofa and dug her face in her hands, trying to remember what happened last night.

There was a party at Makoto's, everyone was there with the exception of Setsuna, Michiru and Hotaru. There was lots of drinking and Seiya had had a few more to try and drown her sorrows at seeing Usagi dancing drunkenly with her Mamo-chan. So she knocked back a few, so what? Problem she wasn't the only one looking for comfort in the bottom of a glass. Haruka was pretty cut up after Michiru left on tour alone after an argument, taking Hotaru with her. Seiya thought it was unfair for Michiru to take Hotaru, Haruka loved that little kid and Seiya liked her too.

Seiya struggled to recall the events of the previous night but she did remember that she found the race car driver slumped in a dark corner on her own, crying uncontrollably. Even after all Haruka put her through Seiya couldn't leave her like that, damn her soft heart!

So she lifted the fallen racer up and excused themselves from the party as she tried to get Haruka home, which wasn't easy, they were both quite drunk. If only the floor would stop turning upside down and turning funny colours. Some where between the two apartments Haruka had burst out laughing madly, grabbing onto Seiya tightly. Seiya in her drunken state had laughed also.

Finally they had made it to the door of the Outer apartment, laughing all the way. Haruka had fumbled with the key in the lock and managed to knock the door open. Seiya had moved to leave when a hand stopped her.

"Stay" she slurred, that was the only word she could remember, that and the stench of booze in the air.

The last thing she remembered was stumbling into the dark room.

"I was wondering where you were this morning" a voice suddenly broke in. Seiya jerked around to see Taiki heading towards the kitchen, rubbing her head lightly, even geniuses are allowed to get plastered once in a while. She searched the cupboards and drawers in her PJ's until she triumphantly held the aspirin bottle up.

"I woke up early and checked on you but you weren't there so I went back to bed"

She got a glass of water and came over to Seiya, who was wringing her hands nervously. Now she had to make up a good excuse. Her specialty ...not!
"Um yeah, well I took a long walk to clear my head, burn it out of my system" she fumbled, as best she could given the lack of preparation time.

Thank Kami it was Yaten asking, with her empathic powers she would suss Seiya in a second. But even Taiki managed to lift a suspicious eyebrow at Seiya.

When Taiki was finished swallowing the pills Seiya took the glass and downed its remains in one second flat. She needed rid the burning of her throat.

"How was Haruka last night?" she asked causally, reading the delivered morning newspaper. Of course, Seiya took this the wrong way and seemed to choke on some water still in her throat. Once again Taiki raised an eyebrow.

The singer was becoming more and more stressed at her situation; she needed a well-needed shower. To try and wash away last night like a bad dream. Oh kami what had she done!?!?!

"Excuseme" she blurted and ran into the bathroom, not caring how it looked anymore. She could feel her eyes water as the shock of this morning started the fade and the reality settled in. She locked the door and turned the shower on full blast and very hot. Her clothes once again in a pile in the corner she stepped in and under the spray of water. The temperature was too high and soon her skin turned bright red but she didn't care. She grabbed some soap and lathered it, washing every inch of her body but she still wasn't clean. She was still dirty, dirty on the inside. The sound of the shower drowned out her sobs and the water mingled with her tears.

Haruka curling into a ball in her own shower, crying as well but also muttering one sentance over and over again. This her only explanation of what happened last night.
"Did I......rape her?" she sobbed out. She cried even harder.


Authors notes: Before you start not even I can make a fic that extreme, its not a rape fic. It's a very delicate subject and not one to be played with.
Thanks for the reviews so far.
