Chapter II: Revelations
Seiya pulled up to Rei's temple is his red sports car. Yaten and Taiki hopped out and headed
up the stairs. Taiki stopped and turned around,
"Seiya, you coming?"
"Huh?" Yaten nudged Taiki and pointed down the street. Usagi and Mamoru were walking
down the street, hand in hand. Yaten let out a loud sigh,
"Hey lover-boy! Let's get a move on?"
"Oh yeah," Seiya replied and headed up the stairs.
"Hey guys wait up!" A smile crawled across Seiya's lips. Usagi tugged on Mamoru telling him
to hurry up until they met up with the Three Lights on the stairs.
"Hey Michiru, check this car." Michiru joined Haruka beside Seiya's car.
"I wonder who's it is?" Haruka breathed.
"It's mine." Haruka looked up and saw Seiya. Beside Seiya was the other two Lights, Usagi
and Mamoru. Haruka's smile was replaced with an icy glare at Seiya.
"It's nice." She said coldly.
"Thanks!" Seiya beamed.
"Can we go to the party now?" Usagi asked impatiently.
"Of course Usagi." The group slowly turned to the low quiet voice.
"Setsuna! Hotaru! You guys made it!" Usagi hugged Setsuna.
"Michiru-mama, Haruka-papa!" Hotaru yelled and ran into Michiru's arms.
"Haruka-papa?" Taiki whispered to Seiya, who looked dumbfounded and shrugged. Usagi
took Mamoru's hand and pulled him up the stairs.
"Come on everyone, the party is waiting."
The group entered the temple. Ami looked up from her book and smiled at Taiki. Mina and
Mako turned around from the CD player. Mina skipped over and grabbed Yaten and pulled
him to the CD player. Make gave Usagi a quick hug, then started to chat with the outer senshi.
Usagi scanned the room and her eyes fixed on Rei as she entered the room. Rei was carrying a
double chocolate cake and rested it on the table among the other treats. Drool dripped from
Usagi's mouth as she slowly dropped Mamoru's hand and walked dazed towards the food.
"Hey guy! Little help here?" Rei yelled as she held Usagi back from the cake. Seiya grabbed
Usagi's arms while Mako grabbed her around the waist. Hotaru giggled at the scene.
"Michiru-mama, look at Usagi." She said as she tugged on Michiru's hand and pointed.
Everyone began to laugh at the funny scene, save Mamoru.
Anger built up inside him, he couldn't stand seeing Seiya touch his love. He walked over and
butted Seiya aside and placed his hand on Usagi's shoulder.
"Usako, we will all get some cake soon." He said in a calm voice. Usagi snapped out of her
trance and slowly turned around.
"Really Mamo-chan?"
"Yes Usako, I promise." Usagi smiled and hugged Mamoru tightly.
"I love you Mamo-chan."
"I love you too Usako." Rei cleared her throat and the couple broke their loving gaze at each
other and looked to Rei.
"Usagi-chan this is a party, not Mamoru-san's apartment." Mamoru and Usagi blushed a bright
red. Usagi stepped up to Rei,
"What would it matter? I can show I love Mamo-chan anywhere, anytime." Mamoru smiled
smugly and glanced over to Seiya, who turned away.
Rei was ready to explode but she saw the look Mamoru gave Seiya. She calmed down and
took Usagi's arm and pulled her aside.
"Usagi-chan, have you thought about how it makes us feel what you are all lovely-dovey with
Mamoru?" Usagi looked perplexed,
"What do you mean Rei?" Rei sighed.
"I mean that not everyone has a boyfriend like Mamoru, most of us don't even have
boyfriends." Usagi looked at Rei for a moment.
"Oh I never thought about that before, I'm sorry Rei-chan." Rei smiled,
"Thanks Usagi." Rei gave her a hug.
"Oh Rei?" Rei turned around,
"Yes?"
"Can we have some of that cake now?" A wry smile appeared on both their faces.
"Sure!"
After all the cake was embellished, Mako stood up.
"So does everyone want to play a game?" The majority of the group smiled and answered with
a ~mmhhmm.~ Mako looked around,
"So what do you want to play?"
"How bout strip poker?" Yaten suggested with a chuckle. Everyone laughed and Yaten
pouted,
"Hey I was serious." Mina stood up triumphfully,
"True or Dare!" Rei smiled,
"I think we should save that till later Minako."
"Yeah," Mako nodded.
"Spin the bottle," Yaten chimed in again. Mina agreed, then blushed when everyone looked at
her.
"How about musical chairs?" Usagi suggested. Everyone slowly looked to Usagi who was
cuddled on Mamoru's lap.
"Isn't that a child's game?" Taiki asked slowly.
"Well kinda, but I think it would be fun. I mean we have the rest of our lives to be old, mature
people." Usagi retorted. Mina, Rei, Mako, Hotaru, Michiru, Haruka, Yaten, and Seiya all
agreed.
"It sounds like fun Odango." Seiya smiled to Usagi who returned the smile with one of her
own.
"Alright then lets set up." Mina called and hopped up and pulled Yaten with her. Everyone who
was playing grabbed a cushion and placed it in a circle on the floor.
"I suppose cushions will have to do for the chairs." Rei said as she placed her cushion in the
circle.
"We only need one person to control the music, so three of you will have to join in." Usagi
said. Ami and Taiki looked at each other,
"Well I have studied hard." Ami grabbed a cushion and tossed one to Taiki. Mamoru and
Setsuna looked at each other then to Usagi.
"Mamo-chan you'll play right?" Usagi asked with puppy-dog eyes.
"Sure Usako." Another cushion was put down and the twelve players stood in a circle around
the eleven cushions. Setsuna started the music, the group walked slowly around in a circle. The
music was stopped and everyone rushed to sit down. Taiki was out and a cushion was
removed. They continued playing, soon only Yaten, Mamoru, Usagi and Seiya remained.
In the next play Yaten was out, curtsy of Seiya. Only two seats were left. Mamoru and Seiya
squared off, to both of them this was more then a game of musical chairs, it was a fight for
Usagi. They walked around slowly glaring at each other. The music stopped and Usagi
grabbed Mamoru and kissed him, then sat down. Mamoru just stood there. Everyone started
to laugh and Yaten yelled,
"You go Usagi, you have the moves." Mamoru helped her up and she bowed with a "thank
you thank you." Mamoru whispered in her ear,
"You'll pay for that later." Usagi smiled. A cushion was removed.
"Alright, we have two warriors left." Mina started like a wrestling announcer. "In this corner we
have Kou Seiya, member of the Three Lights, American football team, and Sailor Star
Fighter." Mina smiled.
"And the other we have Tsukino Usagi, Moon Princess, senshi of love and justice Sailor
Moon, and future queen of the Earth. Who will prevail?" Rei continued taking Mina's lead.
Everyone laughed.
"Lets go" Usagi smiled.
"You're going down Odango." Seiya said with a smirk on his face.
The music started and they walked around slowly. The music played on and on, then suddenly
stopped. Usagi and Seiya both dove and sat down but Seiya made it to the cushion first. Usagi
ended up in Seiya's lap. Seiya smiled to Mamoru, then wrapped his arms around Usagi and
rocked back and forth. He called with triumph,
"I am the best, I am the champion, I am the greatest musical chairs player in the galaxy." Usagi
laughed and batted at his arms.
The party continued. Seiya came up to Usagi.
"Umm Odango, can I talk to you?"
"Her name is Usagi," Mamoru snarled. Seiya looked to Mamoru then fixated on Usagi,
"Alone." Seiya emphasized the word.
"Oh sure thing Seiya. I'll be back in a minute Mamo-chan." Usagi said sweetly and stood next
to Seiya.
"Can we go outside?"
"Sure Seiya, whatever you want." Seiya and Usagi exited the temple.
They walked in silence till they came to a lone bench. Seiya took Usagi's hand and pulled her
towards him.
"Lets talk here," He whispered in her ear and they sat on the wood bench.
"So Seiya what do you want to talk about?" Seiya clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and
faced Usagi.
"Odango, I have, well, I," He stuttered
"What is it Seiya?" Usagi asked calmly and placed her hand on his clenched fist. Fire ran
through Seiya's veins at her touch. He wondered if she felt it too. Seiya looked down at their
hands. ~This feels soo right,~ he thought. He smiled at the thought of Usagi as madly in love
with him as he was with her.
"Seiya what's wrong?" Snapped him out of his trance. He swallowed deeply.
"Odango I," His voice cracked, "I l-love y-you." Usagi withdrew her hand as if she had been
burned, she blinked confused. ~Oh she is so beautiful~ Seiya thought.
"What?" She whispered. Seiya took her hand,
"Usagi, I love you. I have since the first day I met you. You are the only reason I returned to
Earth." Usagi stood up quickly,
"B-but y-you can't," she muttered, starting to walk away.
~That bastard, how could he do that to Usako, _MY_ Usako,~ Mamoru thought as he looked
from behind a tree. He normally wouldn't spy on Usagi, but this was different.
"Odango, please wait." Seiya called grabbing her arm and turned her around. He placed his
hands on her shoulders.
"Why can't I?"
"You just can't. It wouldn't be fair to you, I could never love you in return. I'm destined to be
with Mamoru, forever." Her last word was but a mere whisper. Seiya could swear he heard
sadness in her voice. He removed his hands from her shoulders.
"Usagi, I know I can't compete with Mamoru. He is everything that a girl would want. He's
everything that _you_ want. When you placed your hand on mine, a fire ran through my body.
If that was the feeling of your friendship, then I would kill for the feeling of your love. But
Mamoru has done nothing and you give it to him freely and I envy him that. Never in my life
have I wished to be someone else. But seeing you and Mamoru together makes me wish I
were him." A single tear ran down Seiya's cheek.
Behind the tree Mamoru's mouth gaped open. ~He wishes he was me just to have Usako's
love. He said he would kill to have Usako's love and that is just what he'd have to do to get
it.~
Usagi took a step towards Seiya, reached her hand up and wiped his tear away.
"Seiya I'm sorry," Usagi whispered.
"No Usagi, I'm sorry. I should have never returned to Earth thinking I could win your love. I
can't compete with destiny. I'll just return to my planet and never come back." He turned his
back on her.
"What? You can't leave forever."
"Why not? It was foolish of me to return in the first place."
"I don't want you to go. I'll miss you, I've missed you for the past two years." Seiya turned
around.
"I missed you too Odango." Seiya reached in his pocket and pulled out a square box wrapped
in little bunny wrapping paper.
"What's that?" Usagi asked.
"Its a present for you. I was going to give it to you later, but this is as good as time as any.
Congratulation Odango." He handed her the box. Usagi inspected the box then sat on the
bench and placed it on her legs. Seiya sat close beside her.
Mamoru edged closer, ~That better not be what I think it is.~
"Go ahead and open it."
"OK Seiya." Usagi slowly took off the wrapping paper then looked to Seiya.
"Come on just tell me what it is."
"You'll have to open it to find out silly." Usagi shouldered Seiya playfully. She opened the box
and gasped.
"Oh Seiya I can't except this." She closed the box and handed it to Seiya.
"And I wont take it back. Anyways it's engraved." He opened the box and took out the
contents.
Mamoru stained to see it.
Seiya stood and walked behind Usagi. He put his right hand on one side of her neck and his
left on the other.
Finally Mamoru saw the present, a necklace. It was a thin silver chain with a silver heart
medallion.
Seiya put the necklace on Usagi.
"Seiya I can't," Usagi said holding the heart in her hand. Seiya sat beside her again.
"You've had this heart for a long time." Usagi blushed.
"Oh Seiya."
Anger flooded Mamoru's body. ~Clever boy,~ he thought, ~I wonder if he's willing to fight for
Usagi?~
"Seiya this must have cost a lot, please let me pay you back." A sly smile appeared on Seiya's
face.
"I only wish you could. Go on, read the inscription."
"Alright." Usagi looked down to the heart and flipped it over
" ~To my Odango; Love Seiya~ " She read and smiled.
Mamoru cracked his knuckles.
"Oh Seiya this is do sweet of you," she hugged him tightly. "Thank you, I'll never take it off."
They broke from the hug.
"Well you might want to take it off when you take a bath." Usagi giggled and turned away.
Seiya took hold of her chin and turned her back to face him. They looked deep into each
others eyes. Seiya leaned forward. Usagi whispered,
"No," and turned her hand and saw a shadow behind Seiya. Seiya's kiss caught Usagi on the
cheek.
"Seiya there's..." Usagi started but Seiya's head was jerked back. Usagi looked up to see
Mamoru behind Seiya holding Seiya's ponytail in his hand.
"How dare you try to win _MY_ Usako." Mamoru pulled Seiya to his feet with his hair then
shoved him to the ground. Usagi ran to Mamoru and placed herself between the crumpled
Seiya and the steaming Mamoru.
"Mamo-chan, calm down," she pleaded.
"I head the whole thing, he wants you to have his heart," he transformed into Prince Endymion,
"I'll be glad to cut it out for him." Endymion unsheathed his sword. Seiya got up and looked to
Endymion.
"Mamo-chan please stop!" Usagi yelled.
"Step aside Serenity," Endymion commanded.
"No!" She called. Usagi placed her hand on her brooch and the other on Endymion's chest.
Endymion transformed back to Mamoru.
"What?" Mamoru said in disbelief looking down at himself.
"Mamo-chan I wont let you hurt Seiya."
"He wont defile you, I wont allow it. I'll punish him for what his has done." Mamoru jumped
high in the air, over Usagi, and right behind Seiya. Seiya whipped around to catch Mamoru's
right hook. Seiya staggered back. Mamoru went to strike again but Seiya grabbed his fist.
Mamoru looked shocked. Seiya decked Mamoru, then roundhouse kicked him in the side.
They continued fighting. Usagi was crying and yelling at them to stop. The others heard her
yelling and ran out to see the fight. They all gasped. Seiya and Mamoru had each other in
strangle holds. Usagi was tugging at their arms trying to break them free. Mako and Haruka
looked at each other and nodded. They ran to assist Usagi. Haruka grabbed Mamoru and
Mako took Seiya. They managed to break the two apart. Mamoru and Seiya struggled against
their restraints. The other ran up and helped hold them back. Ami, Setsuna, and Hotaru tried
to calm a hysterical Usagi. Meanwhile Yaten, Taiki, Mako and Mina tried to chill Seiya out.
And Haruka, Michiru, and Rei calmed Mamoru.
Both Mamoru and Seiya apologized to Usagi. Usagi just said coldly,
"I don't want to talk to either of you." Then she stormed away. She left the temple unsure of
her destination and no one dared to follow her. The group returned to the temple and they
tended to Seiya's and Mamoru's injuries. Everyone sat in silence, no one questioned them on
what happened. Both of their heads where hung low. They both knew that it was terrible to
have the woman you loved mad at you. Worse is if Tsukino Usagi is mad at you. Usagi
seldomly gets angry. Slowly everyone when their own ways.
Seiya and Mamoru both called Usagi's small apartment, both received her answering machine,
and neither left a message. They were not only mad at themselves, but also at the other. They
were both worried that Usagi never returned home. Rei received two calls, one from Seiya, the
other from Mamoru. Both asked her to try and contact Usagi. Rei tried and failed.

Chapter II: Revelations
Seiya pulled up to Rei's temple is his red sports car. Yaten and Taiki hopped out and headed
up the stairs. Taiki stopped and turned around,
"Seiya, you coming?"
"Huh?" Yaten nudged Taiki and pointed down the street. Usagi and Mamoru were walking
down the street, hand in hand. Yaten let out a loud sigh,
"Hey lover-boy! Let's get a move on?"
"Oh yeah," Seiya replied and headed up the stairs.
"Hey guys wait up!" A smile crawled across Seiya's lips. Usagi tugged on Mamoru telling him
to hurry up until they met up with the Three Lights on the stairs.
"Hey Michiru, check this car." Michiru joined Haruka beside Seiya's car.
"I wonder who's it is?" Haruka breathed.
"It's mine." Haruka looked up and saw Seiya. Beside Seiya was the other two Lights, Usagi
and Mamoru. Haruka's smile was replaced with an icy glare at Seiya.
"It's nice." She said coldly.
"Thanks!" Seiya beamed.
"Can we go to the party now?" Usagi asked impatiently.
"Of course Usagi." The group slowly turned to the low quiet voice.
"Setsuna! Hotaru! You guys made it!" Usagi hugged Setsuna.
"Michiru-mama, Haruka-papa!" Hotaru yelled and ran into Michiru's arms.
"Haruka-papa?" Taiki whispered to Seiya, who looked dumbfounded and shrugged. Usagi
took Mamoru's hand and pulled him up the stairs.
"Come on everyone, the party is waiting."
The group entered the temple. Ami looked up from her book and smiled at Taiki. Mina and
Mako turned around from the CD player. Mina skipped over and grabbed Yaten and pulled
him to the CD player. Make gave Usagi a quick hug, then started to chat with the outer senshi.
Usagi scanned the room and her eyes fixed on Rei as she entered the room. Rei was carrying a
double chocolate cake and rested it on the table among the other treats. Drool dripped from
Usagi's mouth as she slowly dropped Mamoru's hand and walked dazed towards the food.
"Hey guy! Little help here?" Rei yelled as she held Usagi back from the cake. Seiya grabbed
Usagi's arms while Mako grabbed her around the waist. Hotaru giggled at the scene.
"Michiru-mama, look at Usagi." She said as she tugged on Michiru's hand and pointed.
Everyone began to laugh at the funny scene, save Mamoru.
Anger built up inside him, he couldn't stand seeing Seiya touch his love. He walked over and
butted Seiya aside and placed his hand on Usagi's shoulder.

trance and slowly turned around.
"Really Mamo-chan?"

"I love you Mamo-chan."
"I love you too Usako." Rei cleared her throat and the couple broke their loving gaze at each

"How bout strip poker?" Yaten suggested with a chuckle. Everyone laughed and Yaten
pouted,
"Hey I was serious." Mina stood up triumphfully,
"True or Dare!" Rei smiled,
"I think we should save that till later Minako."
"Yeah," Mako nodded.
"Spin the bottle," Yaten chimed in again. Mina agreed, then blushed when everyone looked at
her.
"How about musical chairs?" Usagi suggested. Everyone slowly looked to Usagi who was

back on her.
"What? You can't leave forever."

"I don't want you to go. I'll miss you, I've missed you for the past two years." Seiya turned

"I only wish you could. Go on, read the inscription."
"Alright." Usagi looked down to the heart and flipped it over
" ~To my Odango; Love Seiya~ " She read and smiled.
Mamoru cracked his knuckles.
"Oh Seiya this is do sweet of you," she hugged him tightly. "Thank you, I'll never take it off."
They broke from the hug.

"Mamo-chan, calm down," she pleaded.
"I head the whole thing, he wants you to have his heart," he transformed into Prince Endymion,
"I'll be glad to cut it out for him." Endymion unsheathed his sword. Seiya got up and looked to
Endymion.
"Mamo-chan please stop!" Usagi yelled.
"Step aside Serenity," Endymion commanded.
"No!" She called. Usagi placed her hand on her brooch and the other on Endymion's chest.
Endymion transformed back to Mamoru.
"What?" Mamoru said in disbelief looking down at himself.
"Mamo-chan I wont let you hurt Seiya."
"He wont defile you, I wont allow it. I'll punish him for what his has done." Mamoru jumped
high in the air, over Usagi, and right behind Seiya. Seiya whipped around to catch Mamoru's
right hook. Seiya staggered back. Mamoru went to strike again but Seiya grabbed his fist.
Mamoru looked shocked. Seiya decked Mamoru, then roundhouse kicked him in the side.
They continued fighting. Usagi was crying and yelling at them to stop. The others heard her
yelling and ran out to see the fight. They all gasped. Seiya and Mamoru had each other in
strangle holds. Usagi was tugging at their arms trying to break them free. Mako and Haruka
looked at each other and nodded. They ran to assist Usagi. Haruka grabbed Mamoru and
Mako took Seiya. They managed to break the two apart. Mamoru and Seiya struggled against
their restraints. The other ran up and helped hold them back. Ami, Setsuna, and Hotaru tried
to calm a hysterical Usagi. Meanwhile Yaten, Taiki, Mako and Mina tried to chill Seiya out.
And Haruka, Michiru, and Rei calmed Mamoru.
Both Mamoru and Seiya apologized to Usagi. Usagi just said coldly,
"I don't want to talk to either of you." Then she stormed away. She left the temple unsure of
her destination and no one dared to follow her. The group returned to the temple and they
tended to Seiya's and Mamoru's injuries. Everyone sat in silence, no one questioned them on
what happened. Both of their heads where hung low. They both knew that it was terrible to
have the woman you loved mad at you. Worse is if Tsukino Usagi is mad at you. Usagi
seldomly gets angry. Slowly everyone when their own ways.
Seiya and Mamoru both called Usagi's small apartment, both received her answering machine,
and neither left a message. They were not only mad at themselves, but also at the other. They
were both worried that Usagi never returned home. Rei received two calls, one from Seiya, the
other from Mamoru. Both asked her to try and contact Usagi. Rei tried and failed.
