"I am in love with our princess, but princess is in love with Seiya... and so thus that's a one sided Love" he said, drinking more. 

Taiki smiled, "But you know Seiya doesn't love our princess" he said, looking drowsily at Yaten. "So you have the chance" he added, 

"I don't want her to love me because she couldn't have Seiya" he said, as he rubbed his nose. "But don't worry about me. I have reasons why I left our planet, I am not here only to support Seiya" he said, trying to stand up. "I am here to forget our princess as well" he added,

Seiya massaged his neck, "Well, I didn't know we are all like this, (hic) sometimes we have to drink to spill out our problems (hic)" he said,

LOVE AT THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Part 4: Big Love Troubles

----------------------

Seiya's lungs were on fire. Sweat dripped down his forehead, soaking the sweatband and trickling down into his eyes, clouding his vision. The screams of the girls on either side increased, the noise half obscured by the pounding of blood in his ears, but he knew why they were yelling. He was just a popular singer who did his public jog to remove all the tension. It was okay at first, after a cold shower, which Taiki said was quite dangerous since he got drunk last night, and offered him medicine instead, yet Seiya refused the help and continued his plan. To jog early in the morning.

But after a few minutes, the girls started to recognize him and it became a marathon. Now he was running to avoid them. He cursed under his breath and reminded himself not to do this anymore. He tried all his best to avoid the girls but he couldn't. He went to the left and girls still chased him, worse yet, there were also girls running towards him at that place. He screamed and ran faster.

"Faster! Faster!" he yelled at himself. But after a few more minutes, every part of him ached. He couldn't possibly go any faster, but he had to. Agonizing step after agonizing step, he started praying and finally noticed the familiar Hiikarawa Shrine. He drew closer to the temple, as he entered it. He saw someone sweeping the front yard. Seiya bowed to the small old man and begged, "HELP ME! PLEASE!"

The girls' screams were coming closer.

"PLEASE!"

The small old man pointed to the left and Seiya nodded in appreciation, then he ran towards the tree and hid himself. The girls entered the temple and were about to search when Seiya saw the small old man starting to drool. The girls screamed and left the temple, yelling 'it's the pervert priest!!!'

Seiya took a breath, and was about to approach the old man but he heard a voice yelling at the backyard of the temple. Seiya, as curious as a cat, sneaked out and saw Rei crossing her arms as two elders were kneeling in front of her. He softly tiptoed and went closer to them, hiding in a bush. He saw her angry.

"Please don't do this to us Rei-san"

Rei growled, "How many times do I have to tell you, I don't want to be a priestess anymore!" she yelled.

"But you are trained to follow your grandfather and your father-"

"But I am not them" Rei interrupted, and closed her eyes.

"We'll do anything! Anything! Rei-san, just don't stop becoming a priestess. You've got what it takes to be a very powerful priestess" said the other old man.

Rei opened one eye, "Anything?"

"Anything!"

Seiya saw Rei's lips curve in a small smile, wondering why he became nervous all of the sudden.

"Then you'll tell me how to make a Love potion?" Rei looked at them. Seiya's eyes widened and the old men looked at each other. "Well?" Rei asked,

"But it is not right-"

"Are you going to help me make one or not?" Rei demanded.

"Well we do not want to help you but-" The elder sighed, "We already have one that is already made... if you want-"

Rei gasped happily, "I want it! I want it!"

The elders sighed, "Very well..."

The elders sighed, and murmured something but Rei didn't bother hearing them out. She danced and sang joyfully, as she realized finally! She would get one of them. "Which one though?" she asked. She already had her eyes on Yaten but now that she had a love potion, she could have her dream guy...

"Seiya here I come!!!" She giggled.

"Don't make me laugh"

Rei blinked and almost fainted when she saw Seiya coming out of the bushes. "What are you doing here?"

Seiya frowned, "Ran here by accident. But I am glad that I came here, and heard your evil plan" he said, narrowing his eyes. "Don't think about using the love potion to me, Miss Hino or you will regret it" he said, with a warning tone in his voice.

Rei couldn't help but to gulp. Rats. One down. She sighed, "W-Would you like to have a tea?" she asked, nervously.

Seiya frowned, "No thanks. After I heard your evil plan I don't know now if I could still trust you" he said, turning his back on her.

"Well if I can't use it with you, maybe I can use it with one of your brothers?" Rei asked, Seiya turned to her, his face so shocked - he couldn't believe Rei was this desperate. "Do I sound so desperate?" she asked, looking down. "Yeah I guess so... but I'll do anything to get a boyfriend..." she said, then she raised her head, "I know you understand about One-sided Love. You can experience this feeling right?" she asked, using all her emotions.

Seiya smirked and crossed his arms, "I don't know if I should call that One-sided Love.. it's more of a three-sided Love" he said, "or maybe it'ss not love, it's just a feeling of wanting someone to hold... in need of affection" he said, Rei was about to open her mouth for a retort but Seiya stopped her, "Don't compare your three sided love with my feelings. Because my feelings are true and you can really call it love" he said, then he turned his back at her again. "Do what you have in mind but leave me out of your sick plans" he added, then he left her.

Rei stopped. A part of her wanted to chase Seiya and yell at him to mind his own business, a part of her wanted to ignore him, a part of her wanted to continue not because she wanted 'affection', but more like a demonstration of her powers. But a big part of her got hurt, because Seiya was right. She was Rei Hino, a very respected woman in their community and for the first time she'd do something s.tupid. She shrugged and walked slowly. Just this once, her mind said. She was only curious about the effect. She breathed deeply and an idea formed in her head and then she said, "It's just for fun..."

Love potion for fun? puhleease....


In front of the Apartment of the Lights...

Seiya stopped running but kept walking to keep his muscles from cramping. He breathed heavily. "Boy that was fun..." he murmured sarcastically. After a few minutes he saw Yaten open the door and cover his nose.

"Damn you Seiya, you stink"

Seiya couldn't help but to laugh, even though his lungs burned with each exhalation. "Well I had a good time" he said, grabbing a nearby towel. He was about to sit on the coach when Yaten pushed him away and pointed him to the seat at one of the stools. "What the heck-"

"If you want to slouch on the couch you better take a bath first" he said, his small brows drawing together in a mock frown. "You're sweating all over" he said.

Seiya snorted, "You are such a sissy" he said. Yaten snorted but went to the kitchen and after a few seconds he threw a proffered bottle on him. Seiya nodded with thanks and drank the cold liquid.

"So anything happen?" Yaten asked, before Seiya could say something. "Are you really insane, Seiya, or are you just temporaryly out of your mind, because of all the wine we drank last night?" he asked, sitting on the couch. "Who would be in a right mind, to go jogging in public when he or she knows that he or she is a singer?" he asked, a slight frown etched Seiya's brow and he pointed at himself. Yaten shook his head, "Then you are crazy"

After finishing the water, he sighed. "I admit that I didn't think of the possibilities... I didn't think that I would be chased by girls, though I admit... I had fun" he said, his frown turning into a smile. "I had a nice race" he said, winking at Yaten. He then threw the bottle at Yaten, who caught it. "I'll take a shower so that I can slouch on the couch" he smirked.

"Just wait for the news Seiya Kou...Anyway, no schedule for today?" Yaten asked.



Seiya stopped in front of the bathroom, and thought for a moment. "I don't think so.. if I have a schedule, then they'll call" he said, then he proceeded to the bathroom.

As Seiya disappeared in front of Yaten, the phone rang. He yawned and picked it up. It was Rei, he frowned. What did she want now? He listened carefully. Rei said she had something important to say to him, and needed him to be there in person, at the shrine. Yaten rolled his eyes and said he'd be there. He put the phone down and looked at the bathroom door. A few minutes or so, he left the apartment leaving a note that he went to the Shrine.


Studio... (Minako's dressing room)

Usagi finished applying Minako's lipstick on her lips and told her to pucker up to see the effect. Satisfied she gave her her earrings and took her seat. Someone else took over to do Minako's hair. She sat there looking at Minako, admiring her. Minako blinked and saw Usagi's look, and she adjusted her earrings.

"Careful you'll fall in love with me" she joked.

Usagi giggled, "I am already in love with you Minako-chan" she said, "You look exactly like my favorite superhero, and her name is Sailor V" she added, winking at her.

Minako giggled, too, "and I love you too, princess! I'll do anything to protect you" she said.

Minako words made her remember what happened yesterday, and her smile faded and she bowed her head. "...Protect me" she said softly.

"What's wrong?" Minako asked, Usagi shook her head. Minako stopped the hand of her hair dresser and told her to leave them alone for a bit. She could resume on her hair later. The woman nodded and left them alone. Minako turned to her dearest friend, "I know you so much and you can't lie to me" she said, grabbing both of her hands. "So tell me what's wrong..."

"Seiya came back for me" Usagi said, "But my future is already planned." she added,

"Do you love him?" Minako asked, softly. She already knew Seiya's feelings and why he'd returned. Usagi sure was a very lucky girl. "Do you?" she asked.

"I don't know" Usagi said, "I really don't know" she added.

"Search in your heart, answer me... Do you love him?" she asked, forcing her princess to look at her.

"Can you help me to realize if I do or do not love him?" she asked. When it comes to love - call the princess of love and beauty. "I also have to realize it, I also need to know" she said.

Minako smiled, "Do you feel something like your feelings for Mamoru-san with him?" she asked.

"It was beyond that, with Mamo-chan.. I know I love him but I don't know if I really love him, because I love him or because I am dwelling in the past" she said. He'd said it before, when he told her it was over... before they met Chibiusa... He said it...

Flash back...

Usagi's tears fell across her face, so freely. She saw Chibiusa's slippers at the floor. Mamoru just said it was over between them. "Mamo-chan, why do we have to break up? You are prince Endimyon and I am Princess Serenity.. we belong together"

Mamoru punched the wall, "Why must we be together now just because of the past?"

End of Flash back...

Usagi sighed, "I know I love Mamo-chan, but when I met Seiya and he started to do things for me... and they were so sweet, I was still loyal to Mamo-chan...but when Seiya left me, and Mamo-chan and I were back together... I felt different... I wanted Mamo-chan to do what Seiya did for me, but of course, Mamo-chan and Seiya are different..."

Minako was about to talk when her cell phone rang, "Hello Rei. Right now? Oh but I am so sorry I can't. Is it very important? Oh okay... I'll try.. Bye" she closed her phone and sighed. "I wonder what Rei wants right now?" she asked out loud.

"I can go there, instead of you" Usagi said, "I'll tell you what Rei wants, you have to do this shooting right?" she asked, gathering her things.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Minako asked, worriedly.

"I am fine. But right now, you have to work. I'll be fine. I am going to Hiikarawa Shrine" she said. Opening the door she waved at Minako, gave her a wink and off she was.


Rei's House...

She felt even more foolish now - okay, so she changed her mind after what Seiya said. Now she had to do some experiment, so she had to call Yaten and Minako. She'd use them to see if it would work, if it worked then there would be no problem. Both of them secretly admired each other ever since, but were afraid to open up their feelings. She paced around her house, nervously assessing the preparations she'd made. A Romantic music playing softly in the background - was it too sticky sweet? The strawberry fragrance of her air freshener-was a honeysuckle scent. She slowly glanced at the glass of juice at her low table, a juice that has a love potion...

Flash back...

"How does this work?" Rei asked, looking at the bottle.

"It's only for two persons to work... when the person drank the potion, he'll fall in love with the first opposite sex he sees.."

End of Flash Back...

Rei stopped in front of the triple mirror, encouraging herself and told herself that she wasn't using her friend, rather she was helping her now. A loud knock sounded at the door.

This is it... she went to the door and opened it, she gasped when Yaten grabbed her tiny waist, closing the door. When she tried to move, he accidentally tripped and fell on top of Rei.

Rei and Yaten stared at each other for a minute and Rei knew she was blushing furiously. While Yaten looked puzzled. Then their stares were interrupted when they heard a mob of girls wanting to open the door. They quickly stood up.

"What happened?" Rei asked,

"Pathetic Girls. They saw me walking and they had to glomp unto me" he said, breathing hard. "Can I have a glass of water?" he asked.

Rei nodded, "I'll be right back" she said.

Yaten sat on the pillow and saw the juice. Because he was thirsty he drank the juice and soon he felt dizzy and his head landed on the top of the small wooden table.


Outside the Shrine...

Usagi entered and saw girls walking away with frowns on their faces. She wondered what happened and continued to walk towards the house. As she opened the door, she yelled, "Rei! Minako couldn't come so she told me to come instead! Where are yo-" she gasped when she saw Yaten's position. She ran towards him. "Yaten! Yaten!" she tried to wake him up. "Yaten! What's wrong with you? Yaten!" she yelled, helping the white haired guy onto his feet.

Yaten grumbled about his head and slowly opened his eyes. A pair of beautiful blue eyes, and two golden buns.. a beautiful lady calling his name, her face full of worry. Like a drunk person he put his hands around her neck and kissed her.

Rei sighed, she couldn't believe it! Her grandfather had to force her to bring the tea over his bedroom even though Rei said she had a visitor. She entered the kitchen and got the water for Yaten.

Usagi was shocked. Yaten's hands went up to her arms, then suddenly, his hands slid down her arms to her back, down her back to her tiny hips where he pulled her up tightly against him as his mouth forced her mouth to open. When Usagi felt his tongue she started to struggle but Yaten was too strong for her. She put both of her hands to Yaten's chest to push him away, but as she pulled away, Yaten deepened the kiss. Kissing her like a drowning man seeking oxygen; like a starving man seeking sustenance; like a man in the desert seeking water...

"Yaten here is your water-" the glass of water slipped off Rei's hands, fell on the floor and was broken.

Usagi heard the loud crash and looked at Rei, with a great force she pulled away from Yaten, and slapped him. She felt her tears coming out. "What the hell did you do that for?" she yelled.

Yaten touched his cheek and looked lovingly at Usagi. "W-What do you mean?" he asked, his voice was very gentle - like how he spoke to Luna before.

"Why did you kiss me?" Usagi asked, she was beyond anger. How dare he!

"Because I love you"

"YOU WHAT?!" (Rei and Usagi)

Rei looked at Usagi fuming. Then she looked at Yaten drooling at Usagi. Should Rei tell Usagi that Yaten took the love potion? "I'll be right back" she said, standing up.

Usagi grabbed Rei's hands. "Don't leave me here" she said, looking at Yaten. "Please don't..."

"It will be okay" Rei said, "Yaten?" she asked, Yaten blinked and looked at her. "If you really love Usagi then don't try to kiss her okay?" she asked, Yaten frowned but nodded. "There ya go."


Apartment...

Seiya opened the bathroom and called for Yaten, then his eyes caught the paper and found out he went to the shrine. He smirked, poor Yaten. Then he remembered that he was suffering from one-sided love too. So he needed it. As he dried his hair with his towel, Taiki burst out of his room, holding his cell phone. "Okay I'll be right there"

"What was that?" Seiya asked,

"Where is Yaten? Someone wants to interview Yaten and I tonight. We have to be there. We're singers once again" he said.

"Yaten will be happy" Seiya said, "He was at the Hiikarawa's shrine" he added.

"Okay I'll go there" Taiki said, he grabbed the van keys and drove at the shrine.


Shrine...

Usagi was relived when Rei returned and dragged Yaten towards Rei's grandfather. To help him get rid of the effect, Yaten cried when he was taken away from Usagi, calling her name over and over again. Usagi went to the kitchen, looking for any kind of cold liquid. She was so shocked and felt so hot. Oh boy! Just like Seiya, Yaten could kiss. She saw a bottle and grabbed it, it was really cold.

"This should do it"

She drank the bottle.

The wooden door opened, Taiki peaked in. "Anybody home? Yaten, you there?" he asked, then he heard a clash of bottle. As he was a very concerned person, because of what he learned from the Inner Senshi before, he ran towards the Kitchen and saw Usagi lying there sprawled on the floor. He gasped and grabbed the bottle on the floor. He couldn't understand the words and threw it in the trashcan. Shaking his head, he just scooped the lady in his arms.

Rei entered the Kitchen, her grandfather told her to leave Yaten to him. She gasped when she saw Taiki carrying Usagi. "Why are you carrying her?" she asked,

Taiki frowned, "It's not what you think Hino-san. I saw her lying on your kitchen floor, I think she fainted. Where can I put her?" he asked,

"Follow me" Rei said, sighing.


Rei's Bedroom...

Taiki carried her easily towards Rei's bedroom. He put her softly on the bed and looked around, "I am surprised" he said.

"Why?"

"I didn't know the room of a priestess is full of Three Lights posters" he said, smiling at Rei. Rei blushed. "Where is Yaten, by the way?" he asked.

"Actually he is-" she stopped when they heard Usagi groan.

Taiki sat on the bed, behind her. "Tsukino-san, are you okay now? What happened?" he asked,

Usagi eyes opened and she just stared at Taiki. She didn't say a word. She just looked at him.

"Tsukino-san, next time you have to know what you are drinking. It could be very dangerous to your health" he said,

Rei gasped, "W-What did she d-drink?" she asked,

"It was a bottle with strange letters, it's the empty bottle I put in the trash" he said, he tensed when he felt Usagi caress his arms. "er.. what are you doing?"

"Oh my... T-Taiki-kun?" Rei asked,

Taiki ignored Rei, "Tsukino-san what are you doing?" he asked.

Before Rei could interrupt, the door opened, Rei's grandfather told her to come with him for a while. "But I can't..I..." she looked at Usagi doing sensual caresses to Taiki, while Taiki could feel goose bumps.

"It's important"

She growled, "I'll be right back" she said.

"I'll come with you" Taiki said.

Rei sighed, "Good Idea"


Outside Rei's grandfather room...

"I'm afraid I don't have the antidote for your friend"

Rei slapped her head hard, while Taiki blinked, "Friend?"

Rei sighed, "Y-Yaten... drank a love potion and instantly fell in love with..."

"ODANGO! ODANGO!!! I WANT TO SEE YOU!!!!"

Taiki growled, "I take it Tsukino-san drank the same bottle and fell in love with me?" he asked, Rei slowly nodded. "Oh boy... We're dead" he said.

"S-Seiya and the others will..."

"ODANGO! ODANGO!!! WHERE ARE YOU???"

"We have to find the antidote and fast" Rei said.

"Well I only know the label but I don't know where I can find it" Rei's grandfather said.

"Let me handle it" Taiki said, "Do you have a computer that I could use? with Internet access of course?" he asked, Rei nodded. Taiki opened the computer and waited for the programs to load, as he stared at the screen. He couldn't help but to feel his heart spiraling straight into his stomach and hit bottom like a boulder.

"This is Big Trouble..." he murmured, he closed his eyes and saw Seiya's angry face. "Really big trouble"
