Chapter 1: High Dive Into Frozen Waves
"Healer, will you talk to me please?" Fighter asked, from outside of the older girl's room.
"No Fighter! Now leave me alone!" Healer shouted from inside her room, trying to choke back her tears.
"Why? Why are you shutting me out Healer?"
"It doesn't matter Fighter, so leave me the hell alone!"
Fighter huffed. "Fine, be like that! See if I care! Now I'm going to go catch up with Maker so I can actually perform my duty unlike you." she spat out before storming off. "Stupid Healer." she muttered under her breath.
Once Fighter was gone, Healer detransformed and flopped onto her bed. She grabbed one of her pillows from the top of her bed and began to heavily sob into it. "Stupid Fighter. What does she know?"
All Yaten wanted to do was yell but she couldn't. She couldn't find her voice. She was too emotionally drained. Ever since she had gotten back from their time on earth, she had been badly shaken up.
All she could do was replay the scenario she had witnessed, over and over again in her head.
Fresh tears burned her lime green eyes as the memory she'd been trying so hard to forget, resurfaced.
It had been a long day for Yaten and he was exhausted.
The three lights had had yet another concert last night and their princess still hadn't shown up yet.
"Why won't she appear?" Yaten asked himself quietly, trying to hide all the sadness lingering deep inside him.
He sunk down to his knees and buried his face in them, hoping no one was here and that he could be alone.
All of a sudden he heard voices nearby. "What the hell? I thought I was alone." he said to himself quietly.
Looking up, he saw the three outer sailor senshi waiting outside the school doors. Yaten growled silently. He hated the people of this planet. Especially the sailor scouts.
"Where is she? Classes ended 10 minutes ago." Michiru stated as she ran a hand through her long wavy blue hair.
"Just as long as she's not with Seiya, because if she is, I will personally murder him." Haruka said, anger evident in her voice.
"Actually about Seiya, there is something I should tell you about him." Setsuna stated.
Yaten perked up at the mention of that. "What do they know about Seiya?"
"Well spit it out!" Haruka all but yelled.
"Haruka, calm down." Michiru said sweetly, as she placed a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder.
Setsuna sighed. "Well the other day, I was guarding the gates if time when I noticed something change. It turns out that Seiya and Yaten are soulmates and in the current future, they are supposed to get together but Yaten gets killed leaving behind a heartbroken Seiya. When that happens, Seiya becomes depressed and desperate for love. So he comes back to earth, and tries to seduce Usagi, causing her to become depressed because she doesn't want to hurt him even more by rejecting him. By keeping Seiya away from Usagi, hopefully we can prevent this from happening."
Yaten's eyes widened and the area around him began to spin. "S-seiya is my s-soulmate?" he asked himself quietly. "I'm going to die?"
Yaten shook violently on her bed, the pillow she was holding drenched with her tears.
All of a sudden she heard a knock on her door.
"Go away Fighter!" she yelled. "I really don't want to deal with anymore of your bullshit!"
"Healer, it's Maker. Can you please come perform your duty like the rest of us?"
Yaten sighed and stood up. "Hai. I'll be out in a minute." she said before transforming back into Sailor Star Healer.
She tried to wipe away the last of her tears and then exited her room.
"Healer, daijoubu desu ka?" Maker asked.
Healer nodded. "Hai."
"Then why are your eyes all red and puffy?"
"I said I'm fine!" Healer shouted before storming off in the other direction.
Tears brimmed her eyes but she blinked them away as fast as she could.
When she got to her post, she was greeted by an irritated Fighter. "Where were you Healer?" she asked impatiently.
"Go to hell Fighter." Healer muttered under her breath.
"I heard that, Healer."
"Good."
"Why are you being so rude lately Healer?"
"It's none of your business Fighter, so leave me alone!" Healer shouted before walking over to her spot.

The day came to an end and Healer still could not get the memory out of her head.
"Maybe a walk will help me." she said to herself quietly.
She started to walk down the hallway, lost in her thoughts.
She wasn't walking for very long before she felt herself walk into someone. She started to fall but the other person wrapped their arms around her waist.
"Healer, daijoubu?"
Healer looked up, only to find herself staring into Fighter's midnight blue eyes. "Hai, I'm fine." she said quietly, as butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
"Do you want to talk about anything?"
Healer sighed and shook her head. "Look Fighter, I already said I don't want to talk about it so can you please leave me alone?" she asked, as she pulled away from her leader.
"God Healer, why do you have to be so difficult?"
"You don't know my situation Fighter, so shut up!" Healer yelled.
"Of course, I don't know your situation because you won't tell me!"
"It doesn't matter!" Healer shouted before walking off to her room.
"If it's hurting you then it does matter! Fighter yelled, before she had gotten too far away.
"Stupid Fighter. I'm doing this to protect her."
When she got to her room, she detransformed again, and laid down on her bed.
"She doesn't understand how hard this is on me. She doesn't understand how it feels to have to try and stay away from your soulmate, so that when you die they don't get hurt." she whispered sadly to herself, as tears began to spill down her cheeks.
She began to cry and grabbed the nearest pillow, clutching it tight to her chest and sobbing into it. "Fighter..." she mumbled through her tears, before she fell asleep.
