A/N Only 2 reviews, but thanks anyway guys! I really want to continue this one………and now on with story! Crack my knuckles and take a deep breath…Here we go! (No, I don't crack my knuckles really )


Usagi was sitting on the ground cross-legged. Her hair was pooled around her legs. She watched Seiya carefully. Something about him made her want to stay with him but she couldn't figure out what it was. Usually she was so wary of men but this one was different. Somehow she felt she could trust him. The festival roared behind them…

"So how come you are with the gypsies if you are not a gypsy?" he had crouched in front of her. His deep blue eyes glowed in the stars as they sat fixed on Usagi's beautiful face. She smiled at him.

"Staying with the gypsies makes it easier. An old gypsy raised me, than she died. By then I was capable of taking care of my self. I have no affection for the gypsies, but no hatred either. I am not a gypsy to keep the men away."

"I see," he leaned in closer and sparks flew. He raised one finger to her jawbone and traced it. Usagi felt electricity go through her.

"Please," she moved away, "Don't toy with me." But she knew she had moved away because she had never felt like this in her life before.

"I am not toying with you," Seiya said, sitting next to her, "I don't even know why I came to see you. You are magical, you lured me here," he joked.

"I am not so," she laughed, "You are a strange man, you know that?"

"Yes," he raised his hand again to her face and ran his finger over her lips. Usagi didn't protest. How could she when she felt so attracted to him? He leaned in close and kissed her cheek, then one corner of her mouth, and then finally her mouth. It was barely a touch of lips, like a feather, soft and ticklish. When he pulled away Usagi leaned in, refusing to let him go. Surprised, Seiya deepened the kiss and put his hand on her waist pulling her impossibly close. She embraced his warmth, tangling her hand in his long ravenous hair. They pulled away and gasped for breath.

"You better feel special," she tried to make light of the situation, "I haven't let anyone kiss me like that before."

"I feel special being with you," Seiya told her more serious than he had ever been in his whole life, and then he kissed her again. No one noticed them in the heat of the festival. No one noticed the lurking shadows around them for the same reason.


Yumeko ran through the festival on foot. She didn't want to look obvious by bringing the horse. She looked around like crazy. Her hand slipped onto the weapon clipped onto her belt and she firmly grasped the gun, feeling it's smooth and cold texture. She was ready to take anyone on, only if she knew whom and where.

"Damn you, Seiya!" she muttered.


Usagi sat in Seiya's arms. She looked at him, her cheeks slightly flushed. He was staring at the stars. She wondered how she could sit in his arms feeling relaxed and peaceful when only a minute ago they had been wrapped around eachother passionately in hot kisses.

"What are you looking at?" she asked.

"You know what?" he said, "I believe everyone has a shinning star, every living creature. Some are bright and some are very bright. Yours is the brightest. That's why I came to you."

"Is that how you pick up all girls?" she asked, giggling, but she had been touched.

"I don't 'pick up' girls," he said, "Well, I won't lie and say I never do, but it's not often. You are the most amazing one I have met though."

"Hmmm," she pulled away, "Won't your lady friend mind?"

"Who?" Seiya asked her puzzled.

"The girl on the horse." Usagi replied, obviously referring to Yumeko.

"Her?" Seiya started laughing, "It's scary to imagine her as my lady friend. She's scary," he started to laugh again.

"Well, she was scary," Usagi remembered, "Why were you with her then?"

"We can talk about that later," he put his arm around her again, "I wish…" But he never got a chance to finish that sentence.

WHACK! Seiya received a very hard blow on his head. Usagi scrambled up ready to punch anyone, since she knew how to punch very well but she was caught by surprise. Two people grabbed her from behind. A man with short cropped blond hair and green eyes merged from behind Seiya.

"Well, miss," he started grinning, "Too bad you saw us. Now we will have to kidnap you." Then he stopped a moment and looked her up and down.

"Hell of a girl, ain't she?" one of the men behind her commented.

"Take her on the ship." The blond commanded. Usagi struggled, "She might alert them otherwise."

"Let me go! I'm not gonna do anything!" she said trying to pull away then her eyes fell on the unconcious form of Seiya. There was a pool of blood around him, "What are you going to do to him?" she asked fearfully.

"Don't worry your pretty head over that," the blond said, "Take her now and come back to get him." The men left. After chaining up Usagi on a ship, which was camouflaged very well in the forest, they came back for Seiya. Picking him up, they headed for the ship. The blond commander followed them.

"That was easy," he said grinning.


Yumeko yelled in frustration at the men.

"How could you just let him go like that!" she yelled, "Just like that! You know I can take your life for this! And if I don't, Yaten will!" The men cowered and trembled when she suddenly took her gun out and pointed it at one of them.

"P…please…" he whimpered. She sighed. She didn't want to waste usable men, so she put her gun away and kicked him.

"Never!" she yelled, "Never ever do anything so stupid like that!" Then she looked at the forest, her mind worried for Seiya although her eyes were like icicles. They may not have gotten along, but she had grown up with him and despite for it being her job, she did care for him.


Usagi watched them bring Seiya in. They chained him next to her. The blond man sat down in front of her. He leaned in close to her and ran a hand through her hair. Usagi leered, moving back against the wall.

"I can unchain you," he said, his voice low, "If you return the favor by…" before he could finish Usagi moved her knee toward his stomach. He moved away quickly, laughing. Then he looked at Seiya. He motioned to the guards to leave and winked at her.

"Got to go." Then he sat down and put a handkerchief on her mouth. Usagi felt dizzy and then she lost conscious.

"Now what commander?" the pilot of the ship asked the Jadeite.

"We go according to plan." Jadeite said, "Throw him out where no one finds him. Let him rot. No one must find out we captured him or else the Kinmoku forces will come at us in rage."

Seiya was soon tossed into a forest on the planet Earth; his shirt was full of blood.


Usagi woke up suddenly. She was tied and on the ground. It was hard, the floor, and she felt sore and groggy. The room was made of gray stones, and it looked sort of like a cell. She looked around for Seiya, but couldn't find him. Soon she heard voices. The door opened and a man with long brown hair entered. His blue eyes were less cold than the blond's.

"So you are the captive." He sat down behind her and started to untie her, "I say you are very unlucky." When Usagi was free, he grabbed her hands and the back of her neck.

"If you don't do anything funny, I won't hurt you." He told her. There was a knock on the door. Then the door opened and a girl with brown hair in a ponytail and green eyes entered. There were two other girls with her. The man let Usagi go and the two girls came and grabbed her.

"Please don't struggle," the girl with green eyes said, "My name is Makoto and I'll take care of you. No harm, I promise." Usagi nodded too scared and too worried to talk.

"Please wait outside." Makoto told the girls. When they were outside with Usagi, she turned to the man.

"Oh, Nephrite, why is that poor girl here?" Makoto asked. Nephrite moved toward Makoto and put his arm around her.

"Jadeite brought her here," Nephrite said, "She saw them, and she could have alerted the Princess. He couldn't identify who she was so he just brought her here although I think it's painfully obvious now that she's unrelated to the whole thing. We could very well let her go back once we've determined she won't run to the Princess since the Prince wants the capture of the general to stay quiet." Makoto nodded in understanding.

"Take care of her, ok?" Nephrite said, "I won't be here for a while and you know how the Prince can be." Makoto nodded again and shuddered. Nephrite instantly regretted saying that. He kissed her lightly.

"I am sorry," he said, "try not to think about it. And take care of the girl." He let go of her and they both left the room. Nephrite walked down one hallway and Makoto took Usagi the other way.


Yumeko faced a yelling Yaten.

"How could you just let him out of your sight like that?" Yaten said.

"It was not my fault!" she yelled back, "He went off on his own. He should be more careful!"

"I can't believe you!" Yaten yelled, "You are the best of the best and you know Seiya was best of the best as well! I appointed you especially to take care of him and what do I get? Failure! Kakyuu-hime will be so mad! She can get you executed!"

"Yaten!" she yelled, "Don't blame it on me! Even the best people can make mistakes! I already feel guilty! You don't have to rub it in!"

"Get out!" he pointed at the door, "Out! And don't show me your face unless you find him!" Yumeko stared at him. His eyes were cold. Yaten was the only one of the three boys she got along with. She didn't need this. She turned around and walked out, slamming the door when she was outside. She walked toward the outside door. There was a lot of commotion going on. Then she turned around and decided to go to the barn. She saddled up Kaze.

"Yumeko-chan!" she looked up to see a girl with long blond hair in a bow riding toward her on a black horse. When the horse neared, Minako jumped down gracefully.

"I am not in the mood, Minako!" Yumeko barked at her. Minako's eyes went wide.

"Something wrong?" Minako asked.

"No!" Yumeko said sarcastically, her eyes blazing, "Except for the fact that I am being kicked out of my own house because that idiot Seiya went off and disappeared somewhere!"

"Seiya?" Minako's eyes were still wide, "How? What?"

"Ask Yaten!" Yumeko finished saddling and jumped on Kaze. Then she rode away toward the main gate yelling, "And tell him if I die, he isn't allowed to come to my funeral!"

Minako watched her ride away. The war was really getting tense and it was breaking people apart. She reached into her pocket and took out a piece of paper.

"It's almost time," she whispered looking at the paper.


"How about that girl you caught?" Mamoru asked Jadeite and Nephrite.

"One of the girls is taking care of her." Nephrite said.

"If you want, we can make her disappear," Jadeite offered, "It's the best thing to do."

"No," Mamoru said, "I want to see her. Make her ready, because I want to see her tonight." He smirked, "I've been so bored lately. Let's see if she is worth my time." At this Jadeite and Nephrite exchanged a look. Suddenly Jadeite regretted bringing her there.


A/N Oooh! Oo I am so bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad! Poor Usagi! Anyway, please R/R and tell me how it was. Thanx.
