On a bright sunny day in August the busy city of Tokyo was bustling around. The breeze blew through the trees, allowing the sweet scent of the cherry blossoms to be smelt everywhere. The ring of children's laughter could be heard all over the parks and water pools, where most of the high school students socialized. Three girls arrived there on time like they said. People always seemed to stare at them though like they were outcasts or something, because they couldn't see how a genius, priestess, and martial arts master could be friends. They especially couldn't believe it was possible when their two other friends were with them since one was the schools volleyball player and the other was a complete cry baby and major klutz. For a year now though they never see all five of them together any more, it was always the genius, priestess, and martial arts master together. The volleyball player was only seen at school, practice, and competitions, never anywhere else. The other one was only seen at school and on her way home. People are always saying things about them-like they had a fight with the two or they separated, or even someone stole their boyfriends. The real reason behind all of it was simple they were just painfully depressed by all that had happened last year, and the other three knew it. The three of them were just hoping into the water when they swore someone had called out their names, but when they looked around they didn't see anyone who was looking for them. They shrugged their shoulders and went on splashing one another until they heard their names being called again. This time they got out of the pool and wrapped their towels around their waists and put on their shoes. They walked around the area for a few minutes until the dark blue haired girl felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. Reacting quickly she grabbed the brunettes wrist and tightened her grip trying to let her know something was wrong. The black haired girl sensing what was going on reached for her wand out of her bag. Following in suit the brunette did the same thing.

"You better leave us alone if you know what's best for you."

"I know what's best for me; that's why I'm not leaving."

"Then on behalf of our duty to Earth and to our princess-we will hurt you."

The two girls looked at each other and nodded, but when they started to move their hands two guys stood in the sunlight laughing. The three squinted their eyes trying to see if they knew them, but it was too bright to tell.

"Stop pestering them man and just show yourself, because you know that those two are the strongest of the inners!"

The three girls froze at what the other man said. Only eleven people knew that they were part of the inner solar system, so how could these three know? They guy who was holding onto the blue haired girls shoulders started to turn her around to face him causing the girl to scream and the other two girls to quickly shout out to activate their wands. After the two wands disappeared and the girl was turned around they all just stared at the man.

"T…Taiki!?"

"So that means…"

"Yes, you stupid sailors-we're back."

"Yaten be nice."

"Fine."

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Umm…I think it would be wise if you two went back to normal."

"Right."

An hour later the six some were at the Cherry Hill Temple talking about why the starlights were back in Tokyo. The groups biggest topic was the volleyball player and major klutz. The starlights were very worried about those two, mostly Yaten and Seiya. They even tried calling the two girls, but the two just claimed that they were busy, even when Taiki tried to talk to them. Something was truly wrong with them since they both should've been jumping up and down. Seiya even tried to go see the love of his life, but he was caught.

"Seiya just let her be until we figure this out."

"Damnit Raye, maybe she just doesn't believe that we are back!"

"Seiya calm down."

"Why Taiki! The love of your life is sitting next to you! Mine is distancing herself from us!"

The young ravened haired guy opened the door and ran out into the darkness towards his beloved's home. When he got there a red car was parked outside while the black haired man argued with the owner of the house.

"Damnit Chiba she doesn't want to see you or anyone else for that matter!"

"Umm…excuse me sir, but I might be able to get her to come back to herself."

"Who are you?"

"Kou get out of here! This is my girlfriend not yours!"

"Look she may be your girlfriend, but that doesn't mean that I can't love her. Please sir let me try I'm sure I can bring her back to her happy go lucky self."

"After what I've just heard here I'd be an idiot not to."

A big smile ran across his face as the owner stepped aside. The other man just walked to his car as he cursed profusely. Seiya raced up the stairs until he saw his golden haired goddess stretched out across her bed. As he walked over to her he saw that her broach was smashed on her table; the only thing that wasn't shattered was the heart shaped pink crystal. As he moved closer to her he knelt on the floor beside her and put his hand on her side.

"Odango?"

"Go away Darien you're not even allowed to call me that!"

"Odango I'm flattered that you will only let me call you that, but I'm worried that you're slowly killing yourself."

"S…S…Seiya?"

He got up and sat on her bed allowing her to see that it was really him. Her hand went instantly to his face to see if it was really him. When she was positive that it was him she shot up and wrapped her arms around his waist and cried. As he soothed her , her father came into her room and was amazed at how fast he got her to talk to him.

"Don't ever leave me again you stupid jerk!"

"I won't Odango I won't; I promise. If I do leave I'll take you with me if it's okay with your parents."

"I love you Seiya. I've loved you since I first saw you."

"Oh Odango I love you too, but you are destined to be with Chiba, besides Amara and Michelle would kill me if I stepped into the picture again."

"Damnit I'm their goddamn princess! They have no right to tell me who I can and can't be with! If they have a problem with us together I'll fight them."

"But they'll kill you! I can't bear to lose your Serena."

"I've fought them for my crown and won; I can do it again."

"When did you fight them for your crown!"

"When I let Saturn live by not destroying her. I gave the enemy my purity chalice and lost my new powers for her."

"So you mean Hotaru would be dead right now if you did what Neptune and Uranus wanted you to do?"

"Yes, but I couldn't destroy her. She is my future daughters best friend."

"You have a daughter!"

"I'll tell you that story another time love."

The young girl rested her head against her princes' chest and fell asleep knowing that all will be okay now that Seiya is back.
