A/N: I know, I know, I've got 2 other fics out, but this one just popped into my head. I want to do a story of Usagi and Seiya that hasn't been done before, and I hope that you all enjoy! I sort of got this idea from…I dunno, ideas that popped into my brain. Music helps too. Gah, if you want me to continue this, please let me know. Takes places five years after Sailor Stars, and I know that Kou Seiya is a female in the manga, a male/female in the anime, but in this, his first name will be Seiya (for those who don't know, Kou is his first name) and he only turns into a female when he transforms…That being said, please enjoy. Oh, and Yaten and Taiki are females like they are supposed to be (My cousin told me that they are all females in the manga, even de-transformed…Or something like that. -. Only Seiya will be special :D LOL An obsessed fan-girl I am.

In a war that led to betrayal, Usagi finds herself leaving Earth. Her planet is gone, her friends are dead, and her "love" tried to kill her. Frantic to escape, Usagi turns to the only planet that can give her protection: Kinmuku.

She landed in the cold grass, in the dead of night. She de-transformed, which rendered her weak. She had used the last of her power to get here, and she was lucky she was even alive. Tears framed her small face. However, she refused to break until she found Kakyuu, or Seiya.. She picked herself up, wearing only a satin night gown that fell to her knees. Torn and tattered it was, but she didn't let it get in her way. Neither did the blood.

The path to the castle was rough, and the rocks cut into her bare feet. Determination was the only thing that kept her going at his point. She had to get to Kakyuu, and had to find Seiya, and the other two star-lights. Only they could help her now. She wanted help from no one else. Everyone one else was dead.

Locals looked at her strangely, but soon recognized the hairstyle that labeled the young girl. Long, blonde hair pulled into two odangos on each side. And the sapphire eyes only gave way to their realization of the hero whom head defeated Galaxia.

She finally reached the castle gates, and attempted to enter, only to be stopped by two guards.

"Who are you, to come here as you are!" One roared. He was then knocked in the head.

"I swear, men will be the death of us all," A familiar feminine voice sighed, walking out of the shadows. Star Healer suddenly stood shocked at the sight before her: A broken Usagi.

"Usagi-chan! What are you doing, let her in!" Healer yelled at the guards, and they hastily moved aside. Usagi walked to Healer, and Healer took her arm, draping it over her shoulder.

"Kakyuu…Seiya" Usagi whispered. Healer nodded.

"In the Throne Room," She answered.

They walked down the long hallway, and Healer gently knocked on the door. There was no answer.

"There must be a conference going on or something. Oh, I think she's talking to Seiya," Healer said absently, and Usagi took her arm back, and opened the double doors, not really caring.

---In the throne room—

"What do you mean! The Earth has been destroyed!" Seiya cried at Kakyuu.

"I'm sad to say…but I feel no life from the Earth," Kakyuu gently replied.

"No…No, the sailor senshi were supposed to be strong enough!" He cried again out again, but Kakyuu shook her head.

"There was a traitor in their midst."

Seiya's eyes widened. A traitor? But who? There was a knock on the door, but they both ignored, it.

"Odango?" Seiya questioned, but Kakyuu once again shook her head.

"No sense of her life force on Earth, Seiya…I'm sorry…"

"No…No…" He was shaking his head in denial.

The throne doors were thrust open, and Kakyuu stood up, preparing for anything, as did Seiya, but neither were prepared to see what they did.

"O-Odango..?"

---back to normal POV---

Usagi limped to the middle of the throne room, and smiled.

"Kakyuu-Hime…Seiya-kun…" was all she said before dropping to her knees, and collapsing face first.

Seiya ran to her side instantly, and placed a hand on her shoulder. She wasn't even in her senshi uniform, but still bared the brunt of an attack. He assumed that the traitor did this to her. He picked her up gently, and turned to Kakyuu. She nodded her head, and Seiya left the room.

A figure walked into the room after Seiya left. Her head was bowed, and tears stained her face.

"Just as we thought, Kakyuu-hime, Earth's glow has been transformed from a beautiful shine to a cloud of darkness. All of the senshi are…gone…Even she…Is gone…" Maker reported, but Kakyuu shook her head.

"She is here, but I fear for the rest of the galaxy… Star-lights, you have a new mission: Search and destroy. I want some answers. Find answers."

"What of Seiya?" star Maker questioned, and Kakyuu smiled.

"She is his mission. Now, my star-lights, don't hesitate. I want to know with whom we are dealing with."

"I have a suspicion, Kakyuu-hime…When I was on Earth, I could still feel the star seed of Earth there. But my question is: Why did Usagi-chan flee from someone who could protect her?"

"Perhaps…" Kakyuu started, but held her tongue. She had her suspicions as well, but she hoped they weren't true. She motioned for her star-lights to go, and they walked out of the throne room.

"Healer, how is Usagi-chan?" Maker asked, curious.

"…She is currently out of consciousness at the moment, Taiki. She collapsed once she made it to the throne room, and smiled when she saw Seiya."

"I think she came back to be with him…" Maker commented.

"For what other reason would she lave Earth, or Mamoru?" Yaten agreed.

"I wonder if she still loves him…" Taiki whispered as both senshi went to the teleporter.

"Nani..? She loved him?" Yaten asked, looking at Maker. Maker shook her head.

"Never mind." Taiki sighed. Some were impossible, and Yaten was the worst of all. He actually hoped that Seiya didn't hurt Usagi, rather than reversed. For Seiya had become rather cold after he had left Usagi on Earth, and Taiki sincerely hoped that Usagi could help bring his heart out once more. However, Taiki knew Seiya loved her, and would devote himself to only her.

"I actually feel sorry for the person whom attempted to hurt her. Seiya will promise death," Maker joked, and Healer nodded. They then proceeded to teleport to Eath.

---Break

He carried her to his room, and after gently laying her on his bed, he sat beside her form, just watching her. Why had she come back? What happened to the rest of Earth? Where were the other senshi, and what of her boyfriend? He visibly cringed at the thought of Mamoru. He didn't hate the man; he just loved Usagi to the point where he was jealous.

Shaking his head, he looked back at her form. He stroked her hair gently, and touched her face gently, running his fingers down each bruise that shown of her cheeks. Why hadn't she been able to heal herself? Usually she would. He stopped at her lips, and held them there. She looked as if she had just escaped death.

"S-Seiya…" She whispered in her sleep, and looked at peace. He moved his fingers, and turned his head. Could he trust her with his heart once more, or would he just be shot down as he was before? He knew it wasn't her fault because of the chains of destiny had bound her to someone she didn't love. Hell, she admitted to him that she loved him. He'd given her everything. He turned his head as he heard her gasp, as if in horror. Her eyes were open, but lifeless, and she just started screaming, grasping at her chest and stomach. Tears were fresh in her eyes.

"S-stop it, Mamoru!" She kept screaming, curling into a ball on the bed. Seiya rushed to her side, and grasped her by the shoulders, shaking her gently.

"Odango, wake up!" He cried gently, but she wouldn't, but rather, continued to scream in pain.

"Mamo-chan, I wont get rid of it! It may not be yours, but I will not let you kill it! Stop it, Mamoru!" She kept screaming. Seiya's features became dark.

"Odango, wake up!" He tried again, but she just started crying again.

"Stop hurting me, Mamo-chan! Leave the senshi out of it! Don't hurt them because of me!"

Seiya held her as she cried.

"Mamo-chan…G-get away from me!" She cried again. She started shaking, grabbing at her lower stomach, and revealed blood.

"No, I won't tell! Leave it alone, Mamoru! Get away from me with that!" She said, and then collapsed fully into Seiya's arms. Her eyes were awake, but she was just crying uncontrollably. He wrapped his arms around her, as if to keep her safe from everything in the world.

"S-Seiya…Please don't hurt me..." She whispered.

"Now, why would I want to hurt you?" He reassured her gently, but she cried even more.

"I-I couldn't save it…" She cried, reaching back down to her lower stomach. She showed him the blood he had seen before.

Seiya's eyes widened in realization and in horror. His child was dead. He held her to him once more.

"Shh…Odango, it's ok. It's ok," He whispered to her broken form. It was all so clear now. She had come to get away from the one person who should have loved her no matter what. She had run from a man who had killed the other senshi in a blind rage.

He held her there, his only concern was her. He wasn't looking directly at her, but he held her in a firm embrace. He gently laid his head on top of hers, and drifted into his own thoughts. The realization of the truth dawned on him. He knew he should not have asked her how she felt about him five years ago. However, at the time, he needed to know. And what had happened afterward was bliss for him.

He felt responsible for everything. Running a hand through his raven hair, somehow trying to put the pieces together, he didn't notice her snuggle up to him.

"Even though I knew I wasn't supposed to, Seiya…I loved you then…And I still do…I regret nothing we have done. The only thing I regret is not being able to protect it." Usagi stated gently. She had made love to him, even when she was destined for Mamoru. She didn't care. She had fallen in love with Seiya, and would never regret it.

"It wasn't your fault, Odango,"

"But, Seiya…"

"Shhh…It's ok, I promise." He said as he rocked her form in his arms, in an attempt to soothe her.

A/N: Should I go on, stop? If need be, this will replace Running. Tell me what you think, but please, but don't flame me too bad LOL. If you liked, then I'm happy, if not, I'm sorry I couldn't convince you -
