When Seiya got out of the bathroom after calming herself down her eyes connected with Yaten's, who looked far from happy. She noticed Taiki looked a little guilty and put the two together, that grass!!

"Did she hurt you?" Yaten demanded as Seiya sat down to a waiting cup of coffee. Seiya frowned at her and downed the coffee in one, crying had made her throat parched.

"No, Haruka didn’t do anything last night. I dropped her off and came straight home mother" she added sarcastically, damn annoyed. Yaten looked slightly surprised of the way Seiya talked to her, making her more suspicious. She grabbed Seiya by the wrist and yanked her sleeve up, Seiya promptly stopped her. She knew the smaller Light was looking for bruises or cuts from any attack. Seiya was afraid she might find any marks giving away what really happened last night. Hopefully no love bites!

"Get off me Yaten I’m fine!" she shrieked and got away from the table. She glared at her teammates one last time before grabbing her keys and walking out the door, slamming it.

Haruka threw the duvet on the floor, reading to remove the soiled sheets from the bed, removing the evidence. She couldn’t remember how, but Seiya was in her apartment last night but she could remember how she threw her one time adversary against the door, not in anger but in lust and kissed her harshly. Moments later they were on the bed, kissing and fumbling to remove clothes but Seiya had tensed for a moment and had said something. It sounded like" 'Haruka, stop, please'"

Haruka had said something back but she couldn’t remember, after that the memory skipped ahead and the last thing she remembered was the two having sex, willing or not. She felt disgusted at herself, for doing that to Seiya, she didn’t deserve it. No one did. But Seiya was so beautiful now she came to Earth in her real form, though she still wore her suits most of the time she would wear women’s clothing and she did look good. So she took her. When she woke up that morning Seiya was asleep in her arms, looking so peaceful. Even though she hadn’t a clue how that came about when she woke, Haruka still cuddled up to her, until she remembered.

So she crawled to the other side, wide-awake until her raven-haired one nightstand woke up and she pretended to sleep. When she heard the gasp of shock and the door closing she knew what she had done was wrong.

She was about to pull the sheets of when there was a knock on the front door. In that moment she panicked. What if it were the princess? She couldn’t face her now, or it might be the police come to arrest her for rape? Even worst it could be Taiki and Yaten coming to get her.

Nervously, she slowly walked over to the door and opened it to reveal...Seiya. She stood, looking Haruka straight in the eye with no emotion. She was still wearing the same clothes from last night, which still stank of booze but she was perfectly sober now. Haruka would never have guessed Seiya would over come near her again.

"Mind if I come in?" she asked quietly, breaking the ice. Haruka blinked and hesitated for a moment before moving aside, letting Seiya enter.

"Gomen nasei Haruka-san" She said as she turned to Haruka, eyes slightly downcast, as Haruka’s widened. Why was Seiya apologising? She was the one who had forced herself on the poor girl.

"I should have stopped you last night, I shouldn’t have just accepted your answer and continued..." she trailed off, still embarrassed, she looked away.

"My answer?" Haruka whispered but Seiya didn’t hear her. Why wasn’t she angry with her?

"About Michiru, I should have known you would never leave her, despite your words." she continued, shaking her head.

"My words?" she whispered again and this time Seiya heard her. Seiya looked surprised, surely Haruka wasn’t that drunk? If she couldn’t remember then why was she been so quiet?

"Don’t you remember? You said she didn’t matter anymore and because I was so drunk I let you carry on...since I didn’t know what to do and all." she blushed a light pink and rubbed her arm in nervousness. Haruka was too busy thinking to blush as she strained to remember, Seiya looked nervous last night when she had spoken. Then it hit her like a brick, Seiya asked is she was okay with cheating on Michiru. She actually agreed to cheat on her destined? Yet, Seiya had no reason no lie about it, she wouldn't’ dare! "Haruka, you okay?" Seiya asked, touching the racers arm gently. Haruka startled and blinked rapidly.

She smiled weakly and dismissed it with a wave of her hand. She was relieved at least that she didn’t rape Seiya. So Seiya willingly did it? Very interesting.

"Don’t worry about her, it’s my problem. Did you...regret last night, being in first time and all?" she asked casually yet attempting to sound casual and sensitive at the same time. Seiya looked uncomfortable for a second but hid it quickly.

"Well I wasn’t nervous during it and there was no pain. At least it was someone I knew...you were gentle." she mused, trying to make sense of it all.

Haruka smiled, though she wasn’t sure why. She cheated on Michiru, with Seiya of all people but she still felt okay.

They both laughed nervously and avoided eye contact. A silence feel over them and Seiya finally moved to leave but once again Haruka caught her arm.

Haruka’s green eyes locked with Seiya’s blue ones. They stared at each other for a few moments, doubts and fears being sent between each other, before understanding passed and they moved closer.

Seiya held onto Haruka's arms and closed her eyes and felt soft lips on hers. A pair of arms circled her waist and the kiss deepened. They found their way back to the sweat and blood soaked bed, not to carry on where they left off. But to stay in each others arms, forever if they choose.
