Until the Day I Die

Chapter 1: Pain
Four years had gone by, and the reconstruction of Kinmoku was finally complete. Princess Kakyuu couldn't be happier than she was now that her planet and her people were restored back to its original shine. She had one woman to thank for the re-prosperity of her planet, and one woman to hate for the misery of one of her soldiers. Sailor Star-Fighter was now a hollow shell, only here for the protection of her princess. The princess had also noticed her poor senshi in her male form, never coming out of it once unless he had to.
Looking through the rose bushes, she noticed a small, yet beautiful emerald rose. Picking it gently, she got up, and went inside the castle, hoping to cheer her closest friend. Making it to Star Fighter's room, she knocked, but there was no answer. Opening the door, she looked around, but found him nowhere.
"Fighter?" She called, and turned her head to the bathroom when she heard gagging coming from it. She set the small flower on the dresser, and opened the door. Her jaw dropped at the sight before her.
"Seiya?!" She gasped in horror. The toilet was full of blood, and it covered his mouth. He looked over to her, and tried to hide his face. She took hold of his jaw, and made him look at her.
"How long has this been going on?!" She demanded, knowing that such a thing as throwing up blood was fatal.
"Since we got back…" He whispered as a reply. Crystal tears formed at the corner of her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell us, Seiya?" She asked, almost sobbing. "Four years, Seiya. Four…You couldn't tell me, your closest friend?"
"Gomen…Kakyuu-hime…" He apologized. Then he felt a surge of blood flow once more from his esophagus, and he jerked his head once more to the toilet, and Kakyuu could only watch in horror.
"Seiya..." She whispered, sobbing. "She did this to you…"
"I did this to myself…She is irrelevant," he said hoarsely, defending the Princess of the Moon. He attempted to get up, using the counter as leverage. Flushing the toilet, he reached for a towel, wiping the blood from his face. Kakyuu noticed the condition of his face in the bright lighting. His skin was pale, too pale in her opinion. His eyes had dark circles under them.
Reaching for his tooth brush, Seiya barely noticed the princess in the room with him. He brushed his teeth, and mouth, in an attempt to get the blood out.
"How many times a day?" Kakyuu asked after controlling her tears.
"At least five," Seiya replied, uncaring if she knew or not.
"Seiya…Please see a doctor…"
"I'm fine, Kakyuu-Hime!" Seiya growled, then shook his head, and kneeled before her. "Gomen, Princess…I'm not ok…I'm not…"
She helped him to his bed, and sat on the mattress with him. Feeling his forehead, she could swear he was burning up.
"Seiya, I'm calling Star-Maker," She said, and he nodded.
Soon, Maker entered the room, and sighed. She knew Kakyuu would find out sooner or later. It had taken all of her willpower not to tell Kakyuu when she found out herself about Seiya. Healer almost did, at one point, but only because she was worried over her comrade.
"Maker…please, what's wrong with him?!" She asked, more tears in her voice. Maker looked over at Seiya.
"You should have told her, Seiya…then it wouldn't have been as hard on her as it is now…" Maker commented, and Kakyuu went wide-eyed. Maker knew something, and she had a feeling Healer did too.
"I know…I didn't want to burden her with sadness…" Seiya replied. He looked over to his princess. "I am dying, Kakyuu-Hime…My light has been fading ever since we left Earth…"
"NANI?!" Kakyuu screamed, and turned to Maker, hoping she would somehow tell her different. She only nodded, and opened her arms so that Kakyuu could cry openly. She did, and only then did Healer enter the room.
"Why didn't any of you tell me?!" Kakyuu sobbed, and Healer looked at the ground.
"Princess…the only thing that can save Seiya is…" Healer began, but couldn't finish.
"Her…" Maker completed for her friend. Kakyuu only sobbed more.
"Then go to Earth, and make her save him!" She screamed. Seiya only shook his head.
"It is not that simple, Kakyuu-Hime…" he chuckled. "She has to love me, but she is destined for another…And so my destiny is to die alone, loving the one person who can't love me back."
"I won't have it!" Kakyuu screamed, leaving them speechless. "Is there nothing we can do?!"
"We can go to Earth," Maker suggested, but Seiya shook his head.
"If I saw her with…him…I'd die from hurt then and there…She is happy with him…leave her alone."
"Go to Earth, Star Maker and Star Healer, and bring her here, even if those Outer Sol Senshi have to come with her. I don't care, just bring her here!"
"Kakyuu-Hime-" Seiya tried, but was then overtaken by his body trembling badly. The others in the room could only stare at him as he shook like he was having a seizure. The shaking soon stopped, and he found himself on the floor, exhausted.
"Please…Don't tell her I'm dying…" He begged, and the two senshi wept silently before turning their heels to leave for Earth. Kakyuu helped Seiya into the bed. She tucked him in, and then remembered her gift. Walking over to the dresser, she picked up the emerald rose gently, and put it on his night stand. He smiled at her kindness.
"Please do not be harsh to her…" he begged, and she smiled.
"You need to go to sleep if you are going to be well enough to see her," She said, and he smiled again. Pain was evident on his face, and Kakyuu had to force herself away from his room.
Sailor Moon-Until the Day I Die
Haruka stood at the leaning against her car with her companion at the seashore, just staring at the ocean.
"Do you feel it, Michiru?" Haruka asked, and the teal haired woman nodded, and then chuckled.
"Odd, he is not with them," She replied. Haruka then looked at the setting sun.
"It is probably for the best…Koneko-chan is having enough trouble dealing with Mamoru's death, she doesn't need him messing with her head."
"You know full and well that he would not, Haruka," Michiru countered. "Shall we greet them?"
"As long as I'm with you," Haruka answered, transforming with her lover.
O.oO.oO.oO.oO.o
"Wow, Earth has changed a lot since we last came here," Healer commented, noticing the crystal palace in the center of Tokyo. "Seems our time-dimensions are different."
"It would seem, but they are still here, which tells us that she is still here," Maker commented. Walking through the crystal city, they soon found themselves in front of the crystal palace. Before they had a chance to enter, they turned to find the Outers. They bowed respectfully.
"Welcome to Crystal Tokyo, Senshi of the Stars," Sailor Neptune greeted. Uranus then stepped beside her.
"Please state your business here," She demanded. "Is there a new enemy?"
"No, nothing of the sort, but our Princess has requested the presence of Princess Serenity," Maker informed them.
"She is queen now," Pluto corrected them, and the other two nodded. "And very busy."
"Please…please just…Please…" Healer started to say something more, but couldn't.
"Did you not hear us, Star Senshi?" Uranus stated bluntly, and the two senshi were taken aback. "This has something to do with that idiot Seiya, doesn't it?"
"That "idiot" is dying!" Healer screamed, unable to control herself, and Maker shook her head. The outers were taken aback.
