I obviously don't own Sailor Moon or anything to do with her. *pouts * You
had to go and remind me didn't you? Please don't sue me. I already don't
have time enough to do everything I want, I'd hate to waste it in court!

:::Starting Over:::
Regret, that is something she knows a lot about. The word seems to sum up her entire life. Her old life that is. There was no longer a Usagi Tsukino any more. Now there was only him. Minako was telling Makoto and Rei a joke. Usagi couldn't hear what she was saying but could tell from her hand motions what she was trying to do.
The others hadn't noticed her and even if they did they wouldn't have recognized her. About a year ago is when the change came about. Setsuna was telling Mamoru and Usagi about Chibi-Usa being born. In the future they could not risk losing Neo Queen Serenity if anything should go wrong during childbirth so they created a child through genetic engineering. Chibi-Usa was test-tube baby.
This is what set Usagi's mind into motion. All of those years of being trapped by destiny and for what? The only thing that had been holding her back and down was the fact that she and Mamoru had to stay together for the sake of giving birth to Chibi-Usa. Now she knew that she wasn't needed to produce this child that everyone had grown to love.
She didn't love Mamoru, she hadn't for a long time now. They were going to force her to marry him no matter what she said in protest. Spending the rest of her life making a man she cared nothing about happy. Was this to be her fate? No, she would make her own destiny. She would be able to live the life that she had always dreamt of, away from Mamoru and senshi business.
Usagi knew that the senshi would be disappointed in her and try to sway her decision back to Mamoru but she would not allow them to. So she left without a trace. She became some one else, a stranger. To make sure that no one would ever be able to find her, not even Luna she disguised herself. Using her disguise pen she changed herself into a man and lived on in this form.
Being a man was strange at first but she got used to it. She assumed the name Kenada Hoshi and became a banking businessman. He was actually quite successful. Every now and again he would stop by and check up on the senshi.
When Usagi first left without a trace Kenada watched the agony that the senshi went through but thought that they would soon forget. After a while the senshi didn't talk about Usagi any more. At least not to one another, and appeared to have resumed their everyday lives.
Kenada had been feeling very lonely for the past year, he had never been by himself before and didn't like the feeling. But this was independence and he wouldn't trade it in for anything. Still, there was something missing in his life and he knew that he would never be able to fill that void.
Haruka and Michiru came up behind Ami who was silently watching Minako's 'show' that she was putting on while telling this joke. Kenada just watched the scene in front of him and began to remember the good times that he used to have with these girls. His thoughts were however broken by the arrival of four new girls that weren't usually with them.
The Starlights and Princess Kakyuu. Kenada recognized them immediately even though they were in their female forms.
"So you decided to stay after all?" Ami asks the four.
"Yes, we will be staying on Earth. Mamoru. errr. I mean Prince Endymion said that we are more than welcome here." Taiki states her eyes denoting a hint of sadness. Ami knew what it was. The Starlights were to be women on Earth and Taiki knew that Ami wouldn't be attracted to a woman so his hope of his love was lost.
"That's great, we can hang out just like old times!" Minako was being her usual bubbly self. Yaten silently thanked Kakyuu for insisting that they be women on Earth so she didn't have to deal with Minako constantly all over her.
'Old times.' Seiya began to think about the times that they had spent on Earth so long ago. Things could never be just like that now that she was gone. 'Odango, where are you?' Seiya's face must have shown the hurt that she was feeling because Rei gave her a knowing nod.
"We'll see her again one day." Rei said addressing Seiya. The mood of the group grew somber.
Kenada couldn't help but stare at her. He felt himself longing for the friendship that Seiya had once shown him, or rather Usagi. He felt so secure, so happy when he was with Seiya.
Seiya's head picked up as her eyes began to scan the area around them. 'I feel it. The strong brightness of a star.' She thought to herself. It wasn't coming from the group of people that she was with, no this was a very bright star. The aura felt almost like. 'Stop it, you're willing yourself to feel her.' Seiya mentally cursed herself. Her sights fell on a man in the distance. He was staring right at her. She knew this was coming from him.
"Seiya what are you doing? It's time to go." Yaten touched her arm bringing her out of her daze. "We have reservations."
"Gomen, but please excuse me, I have to do something." Seiya turned to her three companions. She broke from Yaten's hold and turned back around to where the man had been standing. He was gone. 'No. I have to find that guy.'
Seiya took off in the direction that the man must have left in. She caught up with him easily and followed him back to his apartment. When the man entered the apartment Seiya snuck around the side to look into the window of the street level apartment. She saw the man walk in and fall to his knees. He was crying. 'Why on Earth is he crying?' Seiya felt bad for him.
After regaining his composure the man stands and collects a bag from the closet that appears to be an ordinary book bag. He picks up his keys that he had left on the floor beside him and left the apartment. Seiya took this as her chance to learn a bit more about this man. She carefully slipped into the apartment through an open window when she knew he was gone.
The apartment was clean with a few odds and ends thrown about. The furniture and décor of the place was nothing out of the ordinary and not unusual for a batchler's apartment. Seiya figured that if he was hiding anything that it would be in the bedroom. She made her way down the hall and when she entered the one bedroom of the apartment she saw a comforter with little bunnies and moons on it. She had remembered that Usagi had the same one. It hurt remembering her.
She began to search through his draws. The very first draw that she checked held something that she had not expected. It was Eternal Sailor Moon's broach. When she picked it up she noticed pictures under it. As she flipped through the pictures she saw all of the senshi and Usagi hanging out. What was this man doing with these personal items? Did he take her Odango? These questions and more made their presence known in her head.
The lock on the door sounded and she knew that he was home. Seiya quickly slipped back out the window leaving everything the way that she had found it. If this guy had taken Usagi then maybe she was still alive. She would find her.
Night fell soon after Seiya arrived home. The others asked where she has been and she replied with a nonchalant answer of 'nowhere'.
Seiya lays down to sleep, her thoughts consuming her entire being. 'I will find you Odango, and this time I will keep you safe.' Her thoughts were once again interrupted by a noise. Seiya sat up quickly in her bed and looked in the direction that the noise had come from.
A woman's form stood in front of her window in the moonlight. Her hair was flowing along side her filled with the glistening silver light of the moon. "Odango." Seiya said as she shifted to get up.
Usagi saw that she was trying to approach her. "I'm sorry. I have to go." With these last words she disappears out the window.
'Was she a ghost?. No! She was real!' Seiya couldn't sleep at all for the rest of the night.
The morning came and Seiya got dressed and tore out of the apartment belonging to the lights and Kakyuu. She hurriedly made her way to the man's apartment from yesterday. She was going to get some answers.
Kenada had just woken up and was making himself some tea when he heard a pounding at his door. This was way more fierce than a simple knock and it almost made him scared to answer it. He was in a pair of pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. "I'm coming!" He shouted at the guest on the other side of the door.
The door opened to reveal a black haired woman that he recognized as Seiya. Seiya grabbed Kenada by the collar and quickly threw him inside letting herself in in the process. "What did you do to her!" She shouted at him when the door shut.
"Who? Who are you talking about? What do you want?" Kenada asked from his position on the floor. He knew very well who she was referring to but had no idea how she had connected the two.
Seiya crossed the room to come up over top of him. She looked down with a fire in her eyes that could have burned hole right through him. "You took her and I want her back! Where is Usagi!" She had grabbed him by the throat in the process and picked him up to his feet.
'God she's strong.' Usagi thought to herself. "I don't know who you're talking about?" He played dumb hoping that she would just go away.
Seiya shook him violently. "You don't know do you?!" A sarcastic tone crossed her lips. She drug Kenada down the hallway towards the bedroom. She threw him on the floor face first as she made her way over to the dresser. "Where did you get this!" She held Eternal Sailor Moon's broach out so that he could see it.
Kenada gasped. "I found it." He blurted out.
Seiya came over and kicked him very hard in the stomach making him let out an oomph sound. "Don't lie to me." Kenada had never seen Seiya this angry before. She once again picked Kenada up by the neck and looked him straight in the eyes while almost strangling the life out of him. "I'll ask you one more time. What did you do with her?!" She asked through clenched teeth with determined eyes.
"She's gone, she's never coming back." Tears formed in Kenada's eyes as he spoke these words.
"I'll kill you for what you did to her!" Seiya's grip on his neck tightened and he began to loose consciousness. His hands came up to grab hers. He tried to pry his neck free to allow the air to once again pass through to his lungs. His attempts became desperate and he clawed at her hands and thought the end was near.
"Seiya." Kenada choked out.
With this Seiya's grip loosened and he fell to the floor. "How did you know my name?" She looked in amazement at the man below her. She bent down beside him and took him by the collar this time and pulled him closer to her. "HOW did you know my NAME?" She asked again, this time with more force.
Kenada closed his eyes and began to glow. Seiya released her hold on him as he did so. When he opened his eyes again he was now Usagi. Usagi quickly turned her head away from Seiya's face and looked down at the floor next to her.
"Odango?." Seiya said and without a moment's hesitation she encased the smaller girl in her arms. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'd never hurt you. I'm so sorry." Was all that Seiya said as she held Usagi tight and closed her eyes for fear of crying. "Why did you do all of this?"
Usagi freed herself from her hold and looked her in the face this time. "I couldn't do it. I couldn't live that way. So I left. and this is what I became." She looked down at herself and around the room. "I didn't tell anyone, not even my family. You are the only one that knows.." She looked down into her lap. "I'm a disgrace."
"No, no you're not Odango. Why did you live here all alone all of this time. Why didn't you just tell them that you didn't want that?"
"I'm weak, and I betrayed them all by leaving. They wouldn't have understood and they would have forced me to follow my destiny. I guess I was just being selfish but it was like a prison. Only this prison had no walls to hold me in, I was bound by duty and responsibility which I did not want." Usagi began crying. "I can't face them."
Seiya didn't know what to say, she took her up in her arms again. Usagi relaxed a bit at her touch and cried into her chest. "Was that you in my room last night? I thought I had seen a ghost."
Usagi nodded her head. "I saw you with the others yesterday in the park and wanted to see you again. I actually couldn't stop myself from seeing you." She let out a small chuckle.
"Odango, it almost killed me when we came back and they told me that you were gone. They have no idea what happened to you, they've searched for the past year and a half looking for you." Seiya rocked her gently. "We are living here on Earth now."
Usagi felt herself smile, something she hadn't done in so long. "Will you come and visit me?" She asked shyly.
Seiya pulled her off of her chest and gave her a half eyed expression. "You couldn't keep me away! I would love to see you anytime." Her expression softened into one of concern. "Can I tell the others that I've found you?"
"No. Please don't. I like my new life and I wish to continue to live in peace. Please don't tell anyone who I really am." She said as she changed back in to Kenada. "Can we just keep it between us?"
Seiya nodded in agreement. She didn't care under what conditions she could see her Odango only that she could. "You know, I can introduce you to them this way. You guys can become friends all over again. What do you call yourself anyway?" She asked.
"Kenada, Kenada Hoshi." He replied. "Maybe that would be fun. I don't want to do it right now though."
"Yeah, we can pretend that you're my boyfriend!" Seiya exclaimed thinking of a way to introduce him.
"Your boyfriend?" Kenada seemed confused. "You want them to think you're gay?" He asked.
"Odango, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a girl. A girl wouldn't be gay if she had a boyfriend. We're all girls now. We always have been, the only reason we were guys when we came here last time was to find our princess."
"Oh yeah." Kenada blushed. 'Who would have ever thought that I would have a girlfriend?'
Seiya and Kenada continued to meet together. Seiya told everyone that she was going to see her new boyfriend. Everyone was especially impressed to see how quickly she got over Usagi. (Little did they know!) Kenada and Seiya grew to be very good friends and they trusted one another completely.
"Do you feel comfortable now?" Seiya asked Kenada as they were sitting on the couch of Kenada's apartment. Seiya had pretty much moved in there to keep him company. "Will you come and see them?"
"I don't know?" Kenada replied while looking out the window. It was a cold rainy fall day. The colors outside were beautiful although they reflected the dreary rain.
"I would like to be able to hang out with you and everyone else at the same time." Seiya paused as she looked at Kenada. "Besides, everyone wants to meet my new boyfriend."
Kenada had a small laugh at this. "Oh really."
"Yeah they're all impressed at how quickly I got over you." She smiled.
Kenada turned his head sharply and looked her straight in the eye. "What are you talking about?"
Seiya realized that even after all of these years Usagi/Kenada still hadn't figured it out. A smile crossed her lips. "Odango." She hadn't used that name in a long time now. "I fell in love with a girl named Usagi Tsukino, you, and was never the same. When I returned home to my planet I was lost. I was hurt because you didn't love me back and I loved you so much but knew that I could never be with you. I had tried to tell you before, but you didn't seem to want to hear it."
Kenada felt tears coming to his eyes. "You loved me?. and I never knew?.I'm sorry." He stumbled out.
"No, I didn't love you." The statement brought Kenada's attention back to Seiya's face. "I DO love you." She smiled at him as she put her hand up to his face. "I will always love you."
Kenada felt himself leaning forward, toward her. Contact. His lips brushed hers and were soon full against each other. The kiss was warm and sweet but conveyed the love that one another felt for each other. When they broke away their blue eyes were locked. "I love you too, Seiya."
