To everyone whose has written to me, thank you from the

Laugh and cry, live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming
Day by day I find my way
Look for the soul and the meaning

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And l am not lost anymore

People run, sun to sun,
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun, life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore

And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again

And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you...

On February 7th, the Japanese seiyuu, Shiho Niiyama, passed 
away of a leukemia like disease. She was 29 years old. Best known 
for her role as Seiya Kou/Sailor Starfighter from Bishoujo Soldier
Sailormoon.

My story is dedicated to her. May she rest in peace.

A tribute to her is on this page:

Then You Looked At Me (Chapter One: The Reunion)
By: JLaLa (jlynpinay@aol.com)
**********************************************************************
He woke up that day bright and early that day. The sound of children 
penetrating in his ears. Seiya opened his eyes slightly and let out
a laugh. Taiki stretched out as he grounded his fist in his eyes.

"What's with all the laughing?!", Yaten yelled and Seiya in 
uncontrollable pointed to his feet where as they spoke a young 
child of five was pouring bucketfuls of wet, muddy-like sand on
his very expensive shoes. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

The child looked at him with wide eyes and suddenly it happened.
Waterworks. Yaten knelt down in front of the kid unable to think
about what to do, fear in his eyes.

"Now look what YOU did!", Taiki reprimanded.

"Please...please...shut up", Yaten begged and the crying got even 
louder and even more annoying. "I'll give you anything...candy" Crying.
"...a toy?" More crying. "...money?" Even more crying. "...my SHOES?!" 
The kid stopped and to their surprise a wide grin spread across the 
cute girl's face. In a huff Yaten removed the shoes and handed them 
to the kid who ran away laughing. Now who should just happen to pass 
by?

Our favorite senshi of love. Minako Aino.

For a moment she stood there trying to comprehend what she was seeing.
Were her eyes decieving her? The Three Lights in full flesh, one 
bare-footed?

"Dear God, thank you for fulfilling my fantasy", She said quickly to the
sky and ran over to them. "You guys?! What are you doing here?" Yaten
examined the sweet faced girl, who eyes had matured so much in the two
years they had been apart. Her hair no longer in a red bow it was up in
a thick bun on her head. Surprisingly she wore a business suit but 
looking in her hands they saw a modeling portfolio, somethings never
changed. "The group is NOT gonna believe you're here"

"Wow, times have changed Minako, look at you", Taiki said to her.

"I'm coming from an interview but I usually wear the same thing", 
Minako told him and suddenly undid her head so it fell in a waterfall. 
She followed by taking out a pair of pumps from a bag she held and put
them. Finally she took off her jacket to reveal a yellow shirt with a 
somewhat strange pattern on it. "So you coming or not?"

"Where?", Yaten asked.

"To meet the others, don't tell me you don't want to", She said and 
then looked at Seiya. "Especially YOU"
************************************************************************
The Shrine was quiet as Rei Hino swept the front yard. Near her 
Yuuichirou, her grandfather's assistant did his daily chores.
Since his death the two had taken over the Shrine. She eyed him 
curiously and in the same he eyed her back.

"So you finished?", He asked her. She looked beautiful in her robes
and he felt his heart leap for her. It had a long time and till this
day he was still madly in love with her. And her spirit. That strong
spirit that he always loved in her and when she smiled at him though
rare Yuuichirou found himself reaching out to hold her.

And sometimes just sometimes she would let him.

"...yeah", She answered back. Their eyes met once more and without 
another word they found themselves in a silently, passionate kiss.
Rei found herself enraptured, after the fight with Galaxia she felt
that she had wasted her time never showing her feelings to the people
she loved. How much time she had wasted being bossy and cold. She 
became a more patient person with her grandfather before he passed and 
Yuuichirou...what they had she didn't know yet. They pulled back from 
one another. "I-I-"

"WHOA BABY!", A voice yelled. Minako. Walking over to the couple she
patted Yuuichirou on the back and gave Rei a wink. "So...getting some
action, ne?"

"I'm guessing we shouldn't be here", Taiki said walking in with the
other two. Rei's mouth had dropped open. The Three Lights were there
and staring at her in Yuuichirou's arms.

"What are you guys doing here?", She asked releasing herself from 
Yuuichirou but held on to his strong hand. Her eyes narrowed. "Is 
there trouble?"

"No! Nothing like that...we just missed it here...missed all the 
girls", Seiya said making Rei laugh. In his mind however he thought 
of just one girl. Her.

"Well wait awhile and the others will be here", She said as they all 
sat down and chatted for awhile. Seiya however couldn't help but twist 
his clothing in bunches. Soon he would see her. Usagi. Odango Atama.

The others arrived and he couldn't help but noticed the changes in them.
Makoto had grown taller if possible and now wore her hair down in auburn
waves, her eyes sparkled as she talked of her boyfriend. Ami had let her 
hair grow too but she looked so sophisticated in the business suit in 
navy blue. Earlier in the year she had gotten a job working in a lab
that studied genetics and DNA. He had gotten lost in the middle of the
conversation though Taiki seemed to throughly enjoy it. When Haruka 
and Mirichu it seemed that old times never changed when Haruka merely 
sniffed at him and Mirichu winked flirtingly. Hotaru came with them
and at her still young age she was a budding beauty with hair that
came down to her small shoulders.

And soon she would be there too. Odango.
************************************************************************
"Now that wasn't so bad, was it?", Usagi said to her finacee as they
walked to the Shrine. They had just come from the Tsukino house and
told them the GOOD news. 

"No, not at all", Mamoru said.

"Then why is your hand still shaking?" Mamoru looked down at the hand
that held Usagi's which was shaking horribly. Usagi soothed him by 
rubbing his between hers. "It's ok baby, he's not here anymore"

"Bat...yelling...chasing me", He said in gasping breaths and Usagi
put her arms around him.

"But Mamo-chan now that my mom calmed him down, we can start planning
our wedding. Did you hear that? OUR wedding" Her eyes brightened in
anticipation and Usagi smiled up at him. Mamoru relaxed, kiss her
forehead and nodded. "Okay let's go tell the others"
************************************************************************
The conversations around him sounded just like mumbling as Seiya 
waited for her in half excitement and half nervousness. Suddenly 
he heard Minako squealed and run to the front of the Shrine. Then 
it seemed that everyone had joined her and he was left sitting in 
a stupor. Finally he had gotten his feet up and made his way to
the group of people. Everyone cleared their way and Seiya's eyes
met hers.

Still beautiful. Her hair was down and had been cut to her butt but
enough he thought in relief to make the odangos he loved so much. Her
eyes were even bluer and an undeniably special light glowed in them.
Life, happiness flowed from her and even if she had changed Seiya
knew that she was the same sweet Odango Atama.

"Usagi..."
"Seiya?"
************************************************************************
"Seiya?", Usagi said in disbelief. She couldn't believe it! They were
back! "Ohmigosh! SEIYA!" Running to him Usagi threw her arms around him
and in return he spun her around.

"Odango", He breathed and Mamoru blanched. That was his name for her! He
couldn't help but feel a small pang of jealousy. "It's good to see you
again" Usagi released him and then took Mamoru's hand. Gazing up at him
lovingly she took over to Seiya. "You remember Mamo-chan?" Their eyes
locked and shook hands. Everyone couldn't help but see the similarities,
they might even pass for twins.

"It's nice to see you again", Mamoru said graciously. "How long are you
staying?"

"Forever", Seiya replied. "We missed it here and decided to make Earth
our home" Everyone looked at how Mamoru would take the news, to their
disbelief he was very cool about it.

"Okay well can we hear the news NOW?", Makoto said in exasperation.
Everyone assembled inside and sat down. 

"Okay...I guess we should you tell you now", Usagi said and grinned. 
"Mamo-chan and I...we're getting married" The girls all ran to Usagi
gathering her in a hug as the guys patted Mamoru on the back. 

Everyone but Seiya. In that one moment his heart broke.

However he pasted a smile on his face, hoisted up his shoulders and
shook Mamoru's hand. Walking up to Usagi, he took her hand and laid
a gentle kiss on her cheek. Getting close to her ear, he whispered:

"I'm happy for you Odango"
