I'll Be Here For You
Those times when you cover the sins of another, for instance
There'll be many, many of them
I'm sure of it
Speaking of which, y'know, there's no need
To give up and accept it
If that's what it means to become an adult
Then I'd rather not become one.
I'll always be watching over you;
I'll be the one to hold you tight
"On your own" and all that... Don't even think it
I'll touch my own lips to your sad tears
So, on those times you can't sleep, give me a call
I'll never do anything you don't want me to
Please look back to me...
I love you
Prompted by loneliness, if you feel you're about to fall
Crying and fussing like a little child
Upon viewing the sunrise, you say it;
"Please watch over me today, as well"
Even if you're uncertain, I'd like for you to keep smiling
I'll always protect you
To you, something good will surely happen
"It happens all the time" and all that...Don't even say it
All I'm trying to do, is be upfront with my feelings
Because tomorrow, compared to today,
Will be much worse, I think
And so, I'd like to become the pillar that supports you
Those tears of yours...
I love you
As for why you're so fragile
It's because you're such an innocent
When it comes to making changes in yourself
Don't back away
'Cause you're alive; you're alive
Ahh...
So, on thoes times you can't sleep, give me a call
I'll never do anything you don't want me to
So, please... May I reach out to you?
I want to hold you, hold on to that back of yours
Please look back...
I love you

The final battle was approaching. It would come to victory or death. Deep down he figured death, his death. His planet was gone, his friends, his princess. In the end they couldn't protect anyone. So it didn't matter if they survived the battle. The Light of Hope hasn't shown. All hopes rested on her. Would she do it? Would she defeat Galaxia? He wished with all his might.
For such a powerful being, she was clueless. He shook his head at the thought. He had finally found someone he couldn't live without, yet that was what was expected of him. Always to live without. From the moment she crashed into him she was the focus of his thoughts. Even in front of his purpose. They were looking for their princess yet she was a princess. Why couldn't she do? He hung his head and a lone tear trickled down his face.
He wasn't what... No who she wanted. He knew that but wasn't ready to accept it. He asked her "Am I not good enough?" He couldn't help it. He wanted so much to be her love. He didn't wait to hear her response. He knew what it would be. So instead of being with the one he loved, he left, the rain pouring down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Am I not good enough?" His words echoed through her head. What did he mean by that? Things were so confusing sometimes. She loved Mamo-chan with all her heart, yet why did she feel a part of her heart break as he left? She sank back down into the water and let the heat relax her. She just didn't understand them. The Starlights, even now they remained a mystery. She knew who they were and they knew her, but things... No people kept pushing them apart. Why couldn't they work together? They could help each other, she was sure of it.
She still didn't understand why he kept helping her. He got hurt on her account. Why did people do that? She could still hear the scream from SailorStar Fighter's mouth as the blast hit her. The others blamed her. They always did. If anything goes wrong blame Sailor Moon. It wasn't her fault. Did she ask people to jump in front of things aimed at her? No she didn't. Fighter kind of reminded her of Tuxedo Mask. True there were differences, a great deal of them, but the way they protected her was the same.
"Oh Mamo-chan" She whispered to her self, knowing he couldn't hear. "Why haven't you answered me? I love you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His time was almost up. He knew this time would come but it was hard just the same. He was going to leave her one way or another. In truth he'd almost prefer death because to him living without her was death. Even now, the final Three Lights concert, she doesn't realize how he feels. He tells her his moments as Seiya Kou are numbered. He wishes they could be spent with her but knew it would never be allowed. Its time to go. With a smile he turns and joins Yaten and Taiki on their run to the stage and their destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She watches him run from her. Is that all people she cares about can do? They all leave her. The inner senshi, the outer senshi, Mamo-chan, Chibiusa and now the Starlights. She hopes this last concert is all he wants it to be. It will be a good show because of who they are. With a sigh she moves to find Chibi Chibi and to enjoy the show.
The last song, one last attempt to find the Light of Hope. With a bang disaster ends the concert for them. Galaxia was here. She could barely do anything as Galaxia destroys Sailor Tin Nyanko leaving behind a single bell. A wave of pure power blasts the Fireball Princess. She let herself be taken so that the others would survive. She couldn't do anything seeing how her attack did nothing against Galaxia. The Fireball Princess was no more and there wasn't anything she could do. Her friends, the Starlights leave to confront Galaxia on her turf. She was sure she would never see them again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was time. Turning her back on them, friends, love and foes was one of the hardest things Fighter has ever had to do. They would not let this planet be destroyed like theirs was. They had to avenge their princess. In Fighters heart she knew she would never love another as she did Sailor Moon but it was war and love could hold no place in war. They would not be defeated.
