I own nothing, except for Kyonichi and the fanfic! The characters and places belong to Naoko-sensei! ENJOY :D.

Mamoru held a look of guilt upon his face. He kept his tears at bay as he spoke with a quiver in his voice. "I remember our deal. I truly feel wretched for allowing my marriage to crumble. If my rash actions had been withheld, then maybe my family would be alive at this moment," He stated dejectedly.

Seiya dropped his gaze and allowed his shoulders to fall as he felt his heart breaking..

"I should have stayed to watch over you. I shouldn't have left you behind!" He thought to himself.

Seiya lifted his gaze to speak when he noticed a circle of red forming at Mamoru's side. "Mamoru, I think your side is bleeding!" He cried out.

Endymion saw Seiya pointing to the area above his waist and grimaced as a crimson color seeped from it. "Nnngh. W-What?
Why is my s-, UGH!" Mamoru said before he gasped and clutched at his side. He collapsed in a heap from the pain. "Guess I had this coming to m-me," He said while chuckling lightly.

Seiya couldn't speak, but he knew he had to stop the bleeding or the prince would die. "No, even if you were a terrible husband and father, that is no excuse for you being wounded," He spoke while attempting to stem the blood that seeped from the large wound. "Odango would come back from the grave to haunt me if I allowed you to die before you had the chance to care for your son!" He exclaimed suddenly as he tried to be encouraging.

Mamoru had to stifle a laugh as Seiya continued to apply pressure to his side. "I-I know I am not going to live much longer,
but I want you to promise me that you will protect my son with your life. You and the Sailor Senshi are all he will have after I leave this world. I think you were meant to be here today for this reason," He managed to say as he continued to lose consciousness.

"I... I promise. I won't allow anything to happen to Kyonichi. Please! Mamoru, stay with me!" Seiya shouted for the prince to hear, but it had been too late. Mamoru's grip loosened from his shoulder, and Seiya watched as it fell limply to the floor. He shook Mamoru with a force that would jolt one awake, but it was futile. "Don't worry, I will protect him with my life. You can count on it, Mamoru. Farewell, Your Majesty," He said with a melancholy tone.

Seiya stood and walked out of Mamoru's apartment. He headed towards Starlight Emergency to pick up Kyonichi Tsukino.
Once he was there, Seiya stared at a dark haired child that resembled Mamoru in every way. He stroked Kyon's head with a gentleness that his father should have done. With a heavy heart, he picked him up and cradled him. "I'm going to protect you now. Even though your family is gone, we, the Senshi, are here to protect you who has been born of the Moon Princess and the Prince of Elysian. I promise, Kyon," He said while heading towards the Temple.

An emergency meeting had been called as the Senshi heard the news that altered their future. Seven Senshi had arrived,
and they started the meeting, knowing their princess would never come. A deadly silence fell upon the Temple.

"I guess I will be the first to speak. We need to prepare for the funeral, and my grandfather said we may hold the ceremony here for Usagi and Chibi-usa," Rei said as tears streamed her face.

"I'll make the pamphlets that will hold the imformation. I need someone to collect pictures of Chibi-usa for me," A gloomy Minako said.

"I guess I can do that for you," Ami said as she dug her nails into her palms.

"Michiru, let's play for our little kittens, shall we?" Haruka asked her lover, whom she was embracing at that moment to stifle her tears.

"I do believe she would like that. She always did love when we played for her, you know?" She said in reply to Haruka's question.

Nobody else spoke until the doors opened to reveal a tiny baby being cradled by Seiya.

Haruka stared at the child, and then she got up to approach Seiya. "I-Is that Kyonichi? Can I see him?" She asked with a quiver in her voice. Seiya gently placed the baby in her arms and sat down as he awaited the questions that would follow his arrival.

"I called Mamoru-san earlier, but he told me to take care of Kyon. He wouldn't allow me to speak, and he hung shortly after that.
Where is he?" Rei questioned with a gloomy look.

Seiya knew he had to reply, but the words caught in his throat. Somehow he managed to get them out. "He... He's gone. He died in my presence. I had arrived at his apartment to confront him about his failed protection of Usagi and the children. We had no time to argue because he had a wound above his waist. He crumbled where he stood and pleaded with me to take care of Kyonichi for him.
Of coourse I attempted to cease the bleeding, but it continued full-force. I-I didn't know what to do, and he died in my arms.
I tried.. I really did try!" Seiya cried out as he began to cry which lead to Kyonichi beginning to fuss about.

Seiya took the child from Haruka and rocked him gently. He whispered soothing words to the child, and watched as he fell asleep in Seiya's embrace. "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise," He said in a soothing whisper.

"He is the last member of the Moon Kingdom and the Elysian Kingdom families. We must protect him no matter the cost," Haruka said in an attempt to reduce the gloom.

Time passed as the Senshi buried the royal family. Before anyone realized it, four years had passed in a rush. In those four years, Seiya has remained the guardian on Kyonichi.

"Mommy and Daddy! Ane-chan!" The dark haired child shouted excitedly as he stared at pictures of his family with a longing glance.

"Yes, little one. That is your mother, Usagi, who was a total klutz. Your father, Mamoru, was a hardworking man. Lastly, your sister who was very excited for you to come. I'm sorry you cannot meet them, but they will live on from the memories we tell you," Seiya stated with a hint of remorse in his voice. "Odango, what will become of your son? Will he be as vibrant as you once were? Or like his father?" He questioned mournfully.

I know! Why did I have to let them die...? Trust me! This will be one HELL of a story! Oh right! I own nothing!
