Welcome to my first FanFiction story. I had the idea for this story for a
long time, and finally put it to paper after reading many excellent stories
on this site. This is a Seiya and Usagi story because I appreciate them
more as a couple. The usual disclaimers apply; of course I do not own
Sailor Moon or any aspect of Sailor Moon. I just use it as my muse as a
fan. So please enjoy the story, and I would love reviews and constructive
criticisms. Thanks in advance: ~Virgo~
~The Road Less Traveled
Usagi was floating….
She opened her eyes to see an indigo hued sky above her that glittered with thousands of stars. The light was so piercing that she thought that she should shield her eyes from their brilliance, but soon realized that she was able to view each individual star sparkling like a perfect diamond, with open eyes. She glanced below her to see a turbulent purple hued ocean with foaming, churning waves stretching far to the horizon. She stretched out her arms and took a deep breath, drawing in the strong scent of the salt water. Usagi smiled contentedly, completely comfortable hovering between the sky and sea. A warm wind whipped her long hair around her body, and she smoothed the long, golden strands away from her face as she turned back to the night sky. The beauty of the heavens was enough to bring tears to her eyes, but a swift flash of light distracted her.
She turned her head to see one of the stars to her left slowly moving across the sky. Usagi narrowed her eyes as she followed its' path and realized with alarm that it was dropping from the sky towards her. Her eyes widened as the point of light grew bigger and increased in speed, forming a trail of light behind it much like a comet. In a few seconds it had come so close that Usagi felt its heat and had to shield herself from the glare. It careened past her and crashed into the water far below her, causing a huge explosion of water to come hurtling toward the sky. Usagi was blown back by the force of the impact and covered in a fine spray of the salt water. She struggled to regain her breath, and frantically wiped the water from her face. Her heart racing Usagi gingerly opened one eye and was taken aback by what she saw.
A tall male figure floated before her dressed in armour with a long flowing cape. His slender fingers encircled the hilt of a sword strapped to his left side, and his right hand was stretched out to her. His midnight blue eyes sparked with happiness as his sensual mouth curved into a smile as he looked at Usagi He looked older, more mature than when Usagi last saw him, and his beauty made her hear ache. He seemed to glow with his happiness, and Usagi opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.
"I have come Usagi, you have nothing more to fear."
His voice was deep and melodious, and Usagi felt her heart swell. Tears of happiness leapt to her eyes and spilled over her cheeks. She reached out to touch his fingers and breathed, "Seiya…."
