Rated: PG-13

 

*Disclaimers: Sailor Moon and The Sailor Senshi belong to Naoko Takeuchi, Japan.

This was originally in Chapter Seven, but the text was about 24 pages long! So I'm going to make it another chapter, K?*

 

        Usagi ran to the boy; then energy was blown at Usagi, but she manage dodge the attack.

 

Usagi: What? Who did that?

??: Hmph! You nimble little brat!

Usagi: ::looks up in the sky:: Who-Who are you?

??: I'm a warrior for her royal highness...Fluorite!

 

Usagi: Fluorite?

Fluorite: Now I shall kill you, Tsukino Usagi!

Usagi: *How does she know who I am?* But...

Fluorite: SHINE! ::she takes out her staff and shoots energy at Usagi::

 

        Usagi just keeps dodging the attacks very funny and it seems to be ticking Fluorite off.

 

Fluorite: Are you trying to mock me?

Usagi: No...but why are you doing this?

Fluorite: ::looks evil:: All I ever wanted was a person who would be with me and you took that away.

Usagi: ::confused:: Nani? I didn't do anything!

Fluorite: Yes you did! My opportunity was open, but then you just appeared and ruined it all!

Usagi: I believe you got the wrong person! I never steal anyone's lover and no one should steal mine. You can't take love by force! It's not built that way! The most important thing is able to trust and admit your true feelings towards him...or else there is nothing to look forward too.

Fluorite: You human girls! Do everything the hard way! Men look up to me for beauty and popularity! That's the way to grab a man's attention!

Usagi: You are wrong! That's not even love! How can you live a life like that?

Fluorite: ::twitching:: I...I... ::thinks about her and Seiya:: I'm not listening to you anymore! You are the cause for my pain today and I will not forgive you for that! ::disappears::

Usagi: Huh? Where...?

 

        Fluorite appears behind Usagi and grabs her by the hair.

 

Usagi: Ackkkk!

Fluorite: Trying to fool me! Get me over to the goody two-shoes side? Guess what? Seiya's not here to help you now! And that means your luck has just run out!

 

        Fluorite throws Usagi across the pavement and Usagi ends up near the lake. Usagi is on the ground with a few marks on her.

 

Usagi: ::whispering:: Ouch! I must transform!

Fluorite: She's still alive!? Ergh! ::she points at the boy who's eyes glow red::

Usagi: Oh no! That boy!

Fluorite: That's not a boy! It's a servant of mine! It was bate for the Sailor Senshi, but I think I got a better prize! ::laughs::

Youma: Mistress, what shall I do?

Fluorite: Go have fun with this girl! Have her blood shedded. Give her extreme pain and when that's over, we can start on the search.

Youma: ::nods::

Fluorite: ::ghost figure:: Sorry you had to have a short life, Usagi, but no one must interfere with my plans. Hope you enjoy this moment! It should be a scream! ::laughs and then disappears::

Usagi: ::gets up:: I won't die!

Youma: You should reconsider! I'm a servant of the Death Kingdom and that means you are history! ::it starts charging at Usagi, but she moves out of the way::

Usagi: ::takes her brooch:: Silver Moon Crystal...

 

        The youma snatches her brooch and throws it out of her reach.

 

Usagi: No!

Youma: No more games! ::it grabs Usagi and ties her up::

Usagi: Let me go!

Youma: ::squeezing her:: Not in this lifetime, girlie. I remember when I use to always be like this! Fighting against the Moon Kingdom! ::Usagi gasped:: It was such a bloody and violent battle...I remember it so well. When the leader and the Princess were killed, that was victory and the Queen will have her chance for galaxy domination.

Usagi: It won't happen! The Sailor Senshi will defeat her and the kingdom of the dead!

Youma: What do you know? ::throws Usagi and she hit a tree::

Usagi: ::forehead with blood and lying on the ground with a few tears:: Seiya-san...where are you? Help me...

 

(Meanwhile)

 

Seiya: ::looks up:: Odango!....She's in trouble...I must go to her!

??: Fighter, you musn't go! You'll be killed!

Seiya: I'll die for Odango. She's my princess! I must save her!

??: But...

Seiya: ::starts running:: Odango! Hang on!

 

(Back)

 

Usagi: Sailor Senshi...help...

Youma: They can't help you now! ::grabs Usagi by the neck::

Usagi: ::choke::

Youma: ::brings her close to it:: Now here's my favorite part...the blood! Sayonara!

 

        The youma gets ready to strike, but was interrupted with a "Let her go!".

 

Youma: ::turns the opposite direction and throws Usagi down:: Who said that?

Usagi: Eep!

??: ::eyes are shadowed; looks at Usagi, then back at the youma:: You did this?

Youma: ::carefree:: Yep! And it sure was fun!

??: Fun? You call this... ::looks up with anger:: FUN!

 

        The wind was blowing hard and the boy just stand there with anger in his eyes. The youma was getting a little scared, but not a lot.

 

Youma: Impressive.

Seiya: Hmph...

Youma: Take this!

 

        The youma attacks Seiya, but he swiflty gets over to it and punches it in the face.

 

Youma: ARRGGHH! ::it falls to the ground; a little bit away from Usagi::

Seiya: ::gets down to ground level and holds Usagi in his arms:: Odango... ::shakes her a little:: Odango!

Usagi: ::wakes up:: Seiya-san...you came...

Seiya: ::brings Usagi up to him:: Of course! I would never let anything happen to you, Odango Atama!

Usagi: ::pushes him away a little:: Seiya-san...leave...

Seiya: I won't!

Usagi: You'll get killed!

Seiya: *That's what that girl said...* So...?

Usagi: ::looks with a serious, but tearful face:: I won't allow it! I don't want you to die because of me!

Seiya: That's my duty! To help the Earth Senshi protect the Princess of the Moon. I can't abandon that mission.

Usagi: Since when did this occur?

Seiya: When I met you...

 

        They just stared at each other, but then something knocked Seiya away from Usagi.

 

Usagi: SEIYA! ::getting up::

Youma: ::grabs Usagi and ties her up again:: I'm not finished with you! But now I have a new opponent! ::keeps blasting Seiya::

Seiya: ::screams::

 

        The youma keeps at it and Seiya is getting hits everywhere. The youma thens rips the middle of his shirt off. Seiya falls down.

 

Usagi: ::screaming and full of fear:: SEIYAAAAA!!

Youma: ::looks back at Usagi:: Sorry about your man, but you'll be joining him! ::it starts glowing white and seems to be putting pressure on Usagi::

Usagi: ::looks up with her eyes closed and screaming with all her might::

Youma: ::licks it's mouth::

 

        Seiya looks up with blurry eyes and his hair was down ((his ponytail came out as well)). He then remembers a time like this...the girl with silver hair was in the same situation and Fighter was watching.

 

Seiya: Odango...

Usagi: ::screaming and her hair unleashes out of her odangos::

Youma: ::smiling:: It's your end!

 

Usagi's voice: Help me! I can't hang on!

 

        Seiya gets his eye vision back and stands up with anger.

 

Seiya: Damn you son of a bitch! ((^^. It wasn't me!!!))

Youma: Huh? You're still alive?

       

        Seiya starts glowing red and the youma and Usagi stare on.

 

Seiya: ::a red star starts glowing incredibly bright on his forehead:: How dare you!

Youma: ::gulp and let's go of Usagi:: ((I'm scared too...))

Usagi: ::looks up weakly:: Seiya-san... ::dead::

Seiya: I'll never forgive you! NEVER!

 

        And of course, deadly man on campus. I'll just say that Seiya really terminated that youma. I feel a little bit sympathetic ((Yeah, right!)). When Seiya was done with his "fun", he looked at the youma who was literally dead.

 

Seiya: ::looks at his hands:: I killed it without being Star Fighter. How's that possible? ::he then finds Usagi on the ground dead:: Usagi...

 

        Seiya kneel down and holds her; he feels for her pulse.

 

Seiya: Her heart's not beating...what can I do? ::thinks:: I know...Odango, I won't you let die.

 

        Seiya moves to her face and kisses her on the lips. He held her one of her hands and his other hand was holding her up. The Sailor Senshi were running up to the park.

 

Uranus: Neko-chan!

Jupiter: Hurry! I know Usagi-chan called us!

Healer: I hope we aren't too late.

Uranus: We can't be! Just can't be! *Neko-chan...*

 

        They made it to the park and went looking. But something caught Uranus's eyes when she and Neptune were looking. She looked disgusted.

 

Uranus: I don't believe this!

Neptune: What? ::looks at the scene:: Oh no!

Uranus: Sailors! Over here!

 

::They all came::

 

Mercury: What is it? ::she looks down and so does the Inners and Starlights::

Venus: How sweet! That's so romantic!

Pluto: You call that romantic! That's disgusting!

Jupiter: No it's not!

Neptune: Our princess...on the lips of an outsider? I think it's disturbing.

Healer: It's not that bad.

Uranus: Stay out of this! ::runs down and everyone follows::

 

        Seiya was still kissing Usagi; she started to get warm and began to live again. Usagi opened her eyes only to see Seiya's face in front of her's. She realized that he was kissing her and blushed. Seiya then open his eyes and looked at Usagi.

 

Seiya: Odango...

Usagi: Seiya-san... ::she then put a hand up to his cheek and he held it:: I'm alive...

Seiya: ::smiles and giggles:: I know!

Usagi: ::plays with his face:: He he he...you're funny-looking!

Seiya: Well so are you! Without your odangos, you don't look like yourself.

Usagi: ::eye-closed smile:: Is that good?

Seiya: Mm hm...you look like a beautiful, mature woman.

Usagi: ::blush:: I like your hair too! It makes you look like one of those models in a magazine!

Seiya: Hopefully not in a woman perspective way!

Usagi: Of course not! Like a...handsome hunk! ::red:: *Did I just say that?*

Seiya: Thanks for the compliment! I really think I look more feminine with this long hair and these eyes, but then again, I'm a woman in my other life.

Usagi: Yeah, but that doesn't matter to me. As long as you remain the same. Please don't change.

Seiya: I promise, Odango Atama. ::Seiya then collapses a bit::

Usagi: ::rushes to him:: Seiya! Are you all right?

??: ::comes up and grabs him by the hair:: How dare you kiss on my Princess! ::throws Seiya::

Usagi: Uranus! STOP!

Neptune: ::hangs onto Usagi:: No...we are doing the right thing!

Usagi: Wha...?

Uranus: ::hits Seiya:: You have been such a nuisance! ::keeps hitting Seiya::

Inners/Starlights: ::mad:: URANUS! ::they started running, but Pluto made a barrier surrounds them::

Mars: Let us out!

Pluto: ::turns back at the Outers::

Saturn: ::looking sad:: *Seiya-sama...*

Healer: Seiya, fight back!

Usagi: ::nervous:: Mmmm...

Seiya: I won't!

Uranus: And why not?

Seiya: ::stands up slowly:: I don't fight girls...if I don't have to. That means you too, Haruka. You are still a woman.

Uranus: Grrr...SO? You don't have guts! You would let me kill you because you don't want to fight me.

Seiya: In that terminology, I might fight back with a girl.

Usagi: ::gasp::

Uranus: ::gets ready to strike:: Well, if that's the way you feel, then I will venge everything you have done to this planet! ::aims at Seiya, who has a few marks on him, with her Space Sword:: DIE! ::strikes::

Usagi: ::cries:: NO-OO-OO-OO-OO!

Seiya: ::closes his eyes::

 

::Red lightning; then a red rose came to the ground:: ((Oh no...it's...))

 

Usagi: A rose? Can it be...?

 

        Everyone looks up and sees a man with a black cape standing on a lightpole.

 

??: Revenge can be sweet, but never use it against your friends. ((corny, ain't it? Well, I try!))

Usagi: It's Tuxedo Kamen-sama!

Seiya: ::looks at Usagi:: Tuxedo Kamen?

TK: ::jumps down near Usagi:: Please stop at once.

Uranus: Prince! ::bows down::

Neptune/Pluto: ::Pluto releases the Inners and Starlights; then bows with Neptune:: Prince Endymion...

Seiya: ::looks confused:: Uh, who is this guy?

Usagi: That's Mamoru.

Seiya: Oh!

TK: ::turns to Seiya:: I see that you have been protecting Usa-ko from the enemy.

Seiya: ::nods::

TK: But I also see some kind of interest in you for her.

Seiya: Well...

TK: ::serious and mad look:: Is that true?

Seiya: ::doesn't answer::

Usagi: That's impossible, Mamoru-kun!

Seiya: Huh?

Usagi: Seiya and I are just friends. There's nothing going on between us.

TK: And what about the kiss?

Usagi: Why are you so interested in my business?

TK: ::takes her in his arms:: Because you're my girlfriend and I'm allowed to have interest in you.

Usagi: ::mouthless look:: Um...

Seiya: ::looks uncomfortable::

 

        Tuxedo Kamen looks deeply at Usagi and kisses her. The Sailors were shocked; Seiya was full

 of anger and jealousy, and Usagi was big-eyed.

 

TuxedoKamen: ::stops kissing her:: I want you back, Usa-ko. I can't live without you!

Usagi: ::blush::  But Mamoru-kun...

Seiya: ::deep, angry voice:: I should be going now.

Usagi: ::looks at Seiya:: Seiya-san...?

Inners: Uh oh!

Seiya: I think it's best. I'll see you later. ::starts walking::

Starlights: Seiya! ::catch up to him::

Usagi: ::looks sad:: *Seiya-san...* ::watches him till he leaves her sight::

TK: ::detranforms:: Now then, how about we all go and get some dinner?

Sailors: ::detranforms::

Haruka: That sounds good.

Michiru: We can talk about the enemy.

Setsuna: And about our future.

Mamoru: I think that's swell. What about you, Usa-ko?

Usagi: ::still looking the direction where Seiya left:: Um, sure.

Mamoru: ::turns Usagi around to face to him:: Is something wrong?

Usagi: No.

Mamoru: Good! ::puts his arm around her waist::

Usagi: ::looking uncomfortable::

Inners: ::looking at Usagi::

Mako: Usagi-chan doesn't look so good.

Ami: Can't he see that she's changed?

Rei: Probably not.

Minako: Maybe we should tell him about her and...

Mako: No! We can't be sure that Usagi and Seiya ARE a couple.

Ami: Let's wait a little longer.

Inners: ::nod::

Setsuna: Hey! Are you guys coming or what?

Inners: ::smile:: Of course!

       

        The Senshi begin to walk to the parking lot. When they reached their cars...

 

Haruka: ::in her car with the Outers:: Where are we going to meet?

Mamoru: How about at Crown?

Michiru: All right!

Haruka: We'll see ya when you get there! ::Haruka drives off::

Usagi: ::sits in the front seat of the car:: I need to change my clothes.

Mamoru: ::sits down next to her:: That is why we are going to your house, silly!

Usagi: ::arch eyes:: Oh yeah! Ha ha!

Inners: ::sit in the back seats::

Rei: You got your seats clean?

Mamoru: Yeah! I renovated my car...for my future and Usa-ko's! ::puts his arm around Usagi's shoulder::

Usagi: ::gulp and looks uncomfortable::

Mako/Rei: ::flat out smile::

 

        Mamoru drove to Usagi's house and made it there in 10 minutes. Usagi jumped out of the car

and went inside. She came back to the car. Her attire was:

 

        A pink, longsleeve shirt,

        A mini black dress,

        Fuchsia tights,  

        And black Mary-Jane's

 

Mamoru: You look nice! ::eye-closed smile::

Usagi: Thanks...

 

        Mamoru drives off to Crown. When they arrived there, the girls searched for the Outers.

 

Minako: Where are they?

Ami: They can't be far.

Hotaru: Minna! Over here!

 

        The Inners and Mamoru looked over to the right and saw the Outers at a nice, family table. They walked over there.

 

Usagi: Hi! You sure picked a nice table! ::sits down and so does everyone else::

Setsuna: It's been reserved by one of our friends.

Usagi: Really? Who?

??: Here's your drinks!

Usagi: ::turns around:: Unazuki-chan!

Unazuki: Hey Usagi-chan! Hey Girls!

Inners: ::smile:: Hey Unazuki!

Usagi: How are you doing?

Unazuki: Just fine! I'll be in college next year!

Usagi: Congrats!

Unazuki: ^^! This will be fun!

Usagi: ::sweatdrop:: *School...fun? I think not.*

Mamoru: What classes are you going to major in? And what college are you going to?

Unazuki: The same one as you and I'm not sure what I'll major in; but I have a year to think about it!

Rei: Will you still work at Crown?

Unazuki: Of course! It will always be my job! ::looks at her watch:: Oh! I need to get your order! What will you guys like to eat?

 

        They all ordered...

 

Unazuki: Thanks for your service! It should be about 20 minutes! See ya in the mean time! ::waves to them and then leaves the table::

Inners: ::waving:: Bai Unazuki-chan!

Usagi: *I think you'll do just fine, Unazuki-chan. But I wonder how Seiya-san is feeling...* ::sad:: *Seiya-san...

********************************************************************************************************************

(At the gym)

 

        The Three Lights were working out. Seiya was in a room hitting a punching bag really hard and fast.

 

Seiya: ::sweating:: Ahhhhh! Emph!... ::stops punching and breathes heavily::

Yaten: ::who is looking outside a window:: He seems aggressive, Taiki.

Taiki: ::looks away from the window:: It's because of what happened today in the park; Seiya is steamed about Mamoru's return and his hope for him and Miss Tsukino to be together again.

Yaten: ::looks at Taiki:: I told Seiya he would never win her heart...

Seiya: ::mad look:: What makes you think that?

Yaten/Taiki: ACK!

Seiya: ::groan:: What?

Yaten: Oh, um there is nothing wrong, Seiya.

Seiya: ::serious:: Sure there is and I want to know.

Taiki: Ok...we are worried about you because of Mamoru and his affect on Miss Tsukino.

Yaten: ::pouty look and crosses his arms:: I wasn't worried! I was telling Taiki the reality.

Seiya: There is no reality. ::turns around::

Yaten: Seiya, you can't win! She already has a destiny with him!

 

Usagi's voice: Mamoru and I were lovers back on the Moon Kingdom...known as Serenity and Endymion...we were reborn on Earth and lost all of our memories of the Moon Kingdom and our relationship. Later, when I was 14 years old, we met again, but didn't really love each other till we

regained our memories. And so...there is no definite answer to your question...

 

Seiya: ::looks at Yaten with anger:: Thanks for reminding me, Yaten. ::walks off::

Yaten: ::big eyed:: I was only telling him the truth!

Taiki: ::same as Yaten:: Maybe he needs to loosen up that bandanna.

 

(In the change room)

 

Seiya: ::flashback::

 

Usagi: That's impossible, Mamoru-kun!

Seiya: Huh?

Usagi: Seiya and I are just friends. There's nothing going on between us.

TK: And what about the kiss?

Usagi: Why are you so interested in my business?

TK: ::takes her in his arms:: Because you're my girlfriend and I'm allowed to have interest in you.

Usagi: ::mouthless look:: Um...

       

        Tuxedo Kamen looks deeply at Usagi and kisses her. The Sailors were shocked; Seiya was full

 of anger and jealousy, and Usagi was big-eyed.

 

TuxedoKamen: ::stops kissing her:: I want you back, Usa-ko. I can't live without you!

Usagi: ::blush::  But Mamoru-kun...

 

::angry:: She let him...she let him do that to her... ::makes a fist:: Odango...why? ::punches his locker::

********************************************************************************************************************

(Crown)

 

        Everyone was eating their food and laughing to their conversation.

 

Setsuna: It was so funny! Hotaru just couldn't stop the vacuum from blowing in Haruka's face! ::laughs::

Rei: That must have been a show!

Haruka: ::sad half-eyed:: It messed up my hair and my vision... ::looks happy:: but otherwise, it was pretty funny.

Michiru: We had to clean up Haruka's hair for at least two hours till all the dirt and grime was gone!

Mamoru: Maybe next time Hotaru shouldn't clean house!

Hotaru: ::giggles::

Usagi: ::was in her own world::

Mamoru: ::looks at Usagi:: Usa-ko? ::puts an arm around her shoulder::

Usagi: ::lightning:: Huh?

Mamoru: How come your not enjoying the fun?

Usagi: I'm...I'm not feeling well. ::stands up and starts walking::

Haruka: It's because of that outsider, isn't it?

Usagi: ::stops and turns to them:: Of course not...it's...

Mamoru: ::brings her back to the table:: Usa-ko...just forget about it.

Usagi: ::looks at him:: What?

Mamoru: ::smiles:: You don't need him! Now that we are back together, no one can come between us!

Usagi: ::shrugs him off:: We aren't together, Mamoru!

Mamoru: ::looks serious:: You can't deny that.

Usagi: Yes I can!

Haruka: Neko-chan! You belong with the Prince!

Usagi: ::mad:: I make my own decisions!

Michiru: And what you are making is wrong!

Usagi: How is it?

Setsuna: You are putting this galaxy and the future in danger! What about Small Lady? And Crystal Tokyo?

Usagi: ::looks sympathetic:: I...I love Chibi-usa...but, I can't live up to my destiny!

Outers/Mamoru: What!?

Usagi: Things have changed between Mamoru and me and I have had a change of heart.

Haruka: You can't mean that!

Usagi: ::starts walking, but Mamoru pulls her:: OUCH! Mamoru! Let go!

Mamoru: You are mine, Serenity! And I am yours!

Usagi: ::looks scared and mad at the same time::

Mako: Mamoru! Let go of her! ::walks over there, but Setsuna grabs her:: Hey!

Mamoru: My love for you is stronger than before! I can't bear that you put your life in his!

Usagi: What's wrong with that?

Mamoru: ::mad:: He's from another galaxy! And you are from this one! It's forbidden to even think about having a relationship with an alien!

Usagi: He's not an alien! You're just jealous, Mamoru!

Mamoru: Jealous? Of him? Or should I say her?

Haruka: ::smirks:: Either one is good. They ARE transsexuals!

Inners: ::mad:: Why are you so mean to them? What did they ever do to you?

Haruka: Easy...they exist.

Inners: Grrrr....

Mamoru: ::holds Usagi's hand tighter:: Come back to me, Usa-ko. Set your eyes on me and me alone.

Usagi: Mmph...

Mamoru: ::leans forward to her face:: I should have let Uranus take care of him when she had the chance...it's ok. He will be getting what's coming to him really soon.

Usagi: ::slaps Mamoru HARD::

 

        There was silence; the senshi stared at their princess and the man who was hurting her.

 

Usagi: I don't care if you talk about me in a mean talk, but...I won't ever let you talk about him that way.

Haruka: Prince...are you...

Mamoru: ::touches his face:: Some of his influence has affected you...you aren't like this at all.

Usagi: ::looks at her hand:: You can't keep dissing Seiya; ::looks at Mamoru:: he's been protecting me

with his life everytime I'm in trouble, he's shown me a type of love that no one can take away, and he's done so many nice things for me and the girls.

Mamoru: ::starting to yell:: And I haven't? I haven't given you any of those things?

Usagi: They weren't good enough; you treated me like a pet. You held me back, Mamoru.

Haruka: ::goes to Usagi:: Neko-chan! Stop this!

Usagi: Let me go, Haruka-san.

Haruka: You are insulting the Prince, your husband. Why are you saying things that don't make sense?

Usagi: ::raises her voice:: They are making sense! I don't want to be prisoned anymore!

Setsuna: *Princess...*

Ami: Usagi-chan?

Usagi: ::looks down:: I'm sorry everyone. I must leave. ::starts running out of Crown::

Inners: Usagi-chan!

Mamoru: Wait! We should let her be...

Mako: You're a fine one to talk!

Minako: You're the cause of all this, Mamoru!

Rei: You don't deserve her.

Ami: You are not a nice person!

 

::The Inners run after Usagi::

 

Mamoru: ::stands there:: They are right...

Haruka: No their not! They are being the stupid, immature girls they are!

Mamoru: ::looks at the Outers:: I lost my dream...I lost my future...it's all my fault.

*****************************************************************************************************************

        Usagi was sitting on a bench looking at her star locket with a few tears.

 

Usagi: Why...why can't they just get off my case? ::opens her locket:: There...

 

::remembers::

 

        When Seiya saved her from the gang in the alley,

        The day he bought the stuffed bunny for her,

        When Fighter sacrificed herself to Turquoise's attack,

        Their first kiss,

        The moments they had today at the park

 

There is something I can't lose. ::clears away her tears:: I'm going to fight with you. I want to be strong

and capable like you. I'm going to show them I'm an excellent warrior with judgement and that you and

the Starlights are family with us, Seiya. I will not fail!

 

        Usagi starts running through the streets and ends up bumping into someone.

 

Usagi: HEY! I was...Seiya-san.

Seiya: Oh it's you. ::starts walking::

Usagi: *That's it? Nothing else?* ::turns around:: Where are you going?

Seiya: ::still walking:: Home. I'm tired and I need to get some rest.

Usagi: ::runs up to him:: Hey! I need to talk to you!

Seiya: ::turns around and has a narrow, mean look:: Well I sure that you are too busy getting comfortable with Mamoru...and planning on your future with him as well.

Usagi: What makes you think that?

Seiya: It's obvious. You were letting him hold you and everything.

Usagi: ::looks down:: Yes, that's true. But...it's not like I want to be with Mamoru.

Seiya: He sure wants to be with you again, U-sagi. And insulting me in front of your friends made my day even worst!

Usagi: I don't understand this. I thought you would understand about this situation. It's not what it seems, Seiya. I know you're hurt and it's my fault.

Seiya: Hmph...at least you realized something.

Usagi: ::looks up:: Huh? What is that suppose to mean?

Seiya: ::looks away::

Usagi: ::walks over to him slowly:: Seiya-san, please don't be mad. Mamoru and I are through. It's over! I have no idea why he came back or what his intentions are... ::grabs his arm gently:: but...

Seiya: ::shoves Usagi off::

Usagi: ::gasp::

Seiya: Leave me alone! I don't want you or anyone else to come near me!

 

        Usagi looks at Seiya with shock. The wind blew in their hair and Usagi was standing there very still. Usagi developed tears and a few hit the ground.

 

Usagi: You don't mean that, do you? Over one kiss, you can become a monster?

Seiya: ::looks at her:: That is my nature, isn't it? That is what Haruka and the Senshi think I am.

Usagi: ::shakes her head:: It's not true.

Seiya: You have trouble facing reality. They think I'm a demon sent from hell! I can't be around you! ::Usagi fidgets a bit:: I'm sorry, Usagi.

Usagi: ::looking down with her eyes shadowed:: Well...I'm sorry for disrupting you. I hope you will get along just fine without me around... ::looks at Seiya with her eyes closed and a few tears:: And I know I will get along without you! ::starts running with a few tears down his face::

Seiya: ::looks compassionate:: It has to be this way...I'm sorry Odango, but we can't be together... ::has a few tears and starts walking home::

 

        Usagi was running...running to who knows where. Seiya's words kept repeating in her mind.

 

Usagi: This can't be happening! Seiya-san... ::she falls down and sits up on her knees:: Why is this happening to me? Why can't I just stop receiving pain? ::cries harder and has her hands together up to her mouth::

??: ::running:: Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan!

Usagi: ::turns around:: Minna...

Inners: Usagi-chan! ::they're now standing next to her::

Ami: Usagi-chan, what's the matter?

Usagi: ::looks up and everyone is shocked to see her full of tears::

Mako: What happened, Usagi-chan?

Usagi: ::red streak across her face:: I-I came across Seiya-san...and...he never wants to see me again! ::looks at the ground with heavy tears::

Rei: ::kneels down and hugs her:: Oh Usagi-chan...

Usagi: ::cries on Rei::

Inners: ::looks sad::

Mako: ::makes a fist:: This all happened because of Mamoru, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna.

Minako: I think they had this planned!

Ami: We must talk to them!

Rei: I have nothing to say!

Minako/Mako: Me too!

Ami: Well...we have to do something.

Usagi: ::calm:: There is nothing you can do...

Inners: Huh?

Usagi: Seiya-san doesn't want to see me or anybody...there is nothing you can do.

Mako: You're not giving up are you?

Usagi: I am...

Rei: ::holds Usagi hard on the shoulders and looks mad:: You love him...right?

Usagi: ::looks at Rei with shock:: Rei-chan...

Mako: Don't be afraid...

Ami: Just say it!

Minako: Out loud! For the whole world!

Usagi: ::looks at the girls and then back down:: I...I...

Inners: Yes? Go on!

Usagi: ::gulp:: I... ::she shrugs Rei off:: Gomen ne. I can't stay here! ::runs off and the Inners just stare::

Rei: ::compassionate:: Usagi-chan...

Mako: We need to talk...but, I'm afraid we will make things worst by that route.

Ami: Maybe we should contact Yaten and Taiki as well.

Minako: That's not a bad idea!

Ami: We can then get them to help us with Seiya-san and we'll take care of Usagi-chan.

Rei: It's worth a try! But I don't know if it will work...

(Three Light's Apartment)

 

        Seiya was standing on the balcony and Yaten and Taiki were looking at him.

 

Yaten: ::lays back on the couch:: Man, who would have thought Seiya one day never wanted to see Usagi again.

Taiki: He's just sad right now, Yaten.

Yaten: Sad? More like pissed!

Taiki: Either way, Seiya doesn't act himself when he's going through these moods.

Yaten: Fighter is the same; except she starts blowing energy at you.

Taiki: Shhhh...don't say anything!

Yaten: ::arch eyes:: Ok!

Taiki: Besides, Miss Tsukino is probably not taking this well either.

Yaten: It's her fault! She did let Mamoru get to her!

Taiki: Well ya. But I still think it was really Haruka and the others who are responsible.

Yaten: They treat us like demons.

Taiki: Well you are a demon when you want to be.

Yaten: Hey! Can I help that I'm just negative about life?

Taiki: Maybe...

Yaten: ::closes his eyes and looks a little steamed:: I was raised that way. Don't make fun of my way of living!

Taiki: I wasn't!

Yaten: Yes you were!

Taiki: No!

Yaten: ::smiles:: Yes!

Taiki: NO!

Yaten: I see we are getting mad.

Taiki: Grrr...you know I hate to argue!

Yaten: I'm just putting you thorugh it though...I feel like making your life hell right now.

Taiki: ::stands up:: Oh yeah!

Yaten: ::stands up to Taiki:: YEAH!

 

::Lightning::

 

Seiya: Please stop!

Yaten/Taiki: He came in?

Seiya: Um yeah...so?

Taiki: Are you going to be all right, "bro"?

Seiya: I dunno. ::sits down:: I think that Haruka is right.

Two: Nani?

Seiya: I'm a nuisance. I AM a demon.

Taiki: No your not!

Seiya: Yes...I promised to Usagi that I would never hurt her and now look what happened!

Yaten: I know you are pissed at Mamoru and for what he did, but you didn't have to take it out on Usagi.

Seiya: My anger rose up...I had no control over it...just like what happened between the youma and me today.

Taiki: I still can't believe you killed it without being Fighter.

Yaten: Yeah! That's not natural at all.

Seiya: ::nods:: I don't think...that I should be here anymore.

Taiki: You mean...

Yaten: You want to go back to Kinmokusei?

Seiya: I think it's best...but I want to stay here badly.

Taiki: Well, why don't you think about it in your sleep?

Seiya: I should. ::stands up:: I'm going to bed. Good night. ::walks out::

Yaten: He wants to go back home?

Taiki: I don't believe it... ::phone rings:: Hello...?

 

        Seiya put on his pajamas and head bandanna; he went to his room and jumped on his bed.

 

Seiya: I...I don't want to hurt anyone...but can't control it. I don't know how. ::pulls out a circle pendant and looks inside of it:: What should I do? You guys mean so much to me...I want to see you again soon...

********************************************************************************************************************

(Usagi's room)

 

Usagi: ::in her purple pajamas and combing her hair sadly:: I need...something soothing. ::she walks over to her radio and turns it on::

Announcer: Now, still on the top 40 list and ranking at number 8 is "Nagareboshi-e" sung by The Three Lights!

Usagi: Huh?

 

::Song starts playing::

 

        Search for your love...

        Search for your love...

 

        Usagi sat on her bed and listened to the song carefully. She felt a clump in her throat and had a hand up to her chest.

 

Luna: ::walks in:: Usagi-chan, what are you...?

Usagi: ::waved her hand at Luna, but still listened to the song::

Luna: Oh! ::became quiet::

Announcer: ::after the song was over:: That was The Three Lights with "Nagarebohi-e". I heard that they are back in Tokyo, but will they return inside the heart of teenage girls and music again?

Announcer #2: I don't know. We should find them and ask.

Announcer: Come back, guys! We want you!

Usagi: ::turned off her radio:: Hmm...inside the heart of teenage girls?

Luna: ::confused:: Usagi-chan?

Usagi: I-I think that...Rei-chan was right.

Luna: About?

Usagi: He entered my heart and now look what happened... ::looks up:: Luna, I'm in love with Seiya Kou of the Three Lights!

 

                                -End of Chapter Eight-

********************************************************************************************************************

Brief Views of Chapter Nine: Mizuno Ami aka Sailor Mercury. Her life is based on studying and school, but will she be affected by loneliness and jealousy as she see nothing in store for her love life? Or will a shooting star come to her rescue?

 

Words from Me: Well, another chapter has gone by and I feel like I'm boring you people. I'll try to make it more interesting, k? It took me a while to do chapter seven and eight because of school. Like I said, this was orginally 24-26 pages long, so I divided it into two parts. I was going to send this in last week, but I had no time. Gomen! Anyway, Usagi had JUST realized she loves "Sei-chan" (he he) and Seiya feels like he's going to lose her. But what about Mamoru? ((Seiya and Me: ::growl:: Hmph! What about him is right! ^^.)) I don't know about Mamoru; I'm trying not to be so harsh on the guy, but I will be occasionally because that's the way I feel about him. Outer Senshi: Haruka being mean to Seiya? That's natural, but maybe beating him up is a little bit to harsh for Haruka's status... ::thinks:: then again...? Michiru and Setsuna are still the bystanders and Little Hotaru likes Seiya ((at least that's ONE of the Outers that like him)). Inners: I plan on giving each a sweetheart; this story was never planned to be only about Seiya and Usagi ((even though I can write for hours on them!)). The next few chapters will mainly be about the Inners and their love lifes; Odango and Sei-chan will still be in it, but as minor characters instead of the main. Well I talked enough. I should be going. Bai!
