I kept my promise to my friends, and took them into town for some shopping. I bought myself, some new clothes, mostly pants, that are more comfortable to fight in. Makoto then suggested, we go to the Cafe, where we saw the four of them yesterday, and I agreed. Part of me wished I hadn't.
We entered the Cafe, and low and behold, all four were there. I was shocked to see that both Seiya and Striker work there, but I couldn't bring myself to look at them. I just stared out the window, trying to ignore everything. Just hearing Seiya's voice was hurting me, let alone look at her face. I am glad to see they are all okay though.
It's been one week since, and I have kept myself busy. I train, with Haruka, Makoto, and the Guards, deeply missing Striker's training sessions. I also patrol with the Guards, especially at night, since I can't sleep, even though the snow makes it extremely cold. My past battles keep filling my dreams, or should I say nightmares, and at first I thought it had something to do with Starlight, but I think it is my conscience getting the best of me.
Unfortunately, we have gone to the Cafe for lunch everyday. I'm glad that Ami and Minako are getting to speak with Taiki and Yaten, as they are there for lunch also, but I can't handle seeing Seiya. Only once was she not there, and that was last Saturday, which was her day off. I still haven't spoken to her, or even looked at her, and it is getting harder each and every day.
"You should talk to her", Haruka suggested firmly.
"No", I replied rudely.
We were heading to the Dining Room for dinner, and she had pulled me aside from the others.
"You are going to run yourself raggered, if you don't let some of that pain go", she commented firmly.
I know she is telling the truth. I'm using more energy keeping everything inside, than I am fighting, and I can feel it slowly destroying me.
"I have no idea what you are talking about", I responded awkwardly, trying to hide how much I am hurting.
"Listen to me. No one is going to think you are weak, for letting your emotions out. We can all see them eating at you, and we are all worried about you. And as for talking to Seiya, how do you think she will feel, when she gets her memories back, and she remembers that you couldn't even talk to her, or look at her?", she asked with seriousness.
I never even thought about that. She would be hurt, and I don't want that. I was also shocked, that it was Haruka convincing me to talk to Seiya.
"Fine. I will talk to her", I replied giving in.
"Good. She's locking up the Cafe tonight, so if you leave now, you should see her", she informed me, pointing to the door.
I shook my head, and left, knowing she would drag me there if I didn't go myself.
I was so nervous seeing Seiya, and it felt weird walking her home, but I made the attempt to talk. I at least apologised for my behavior, I just wish we hadn't shook hands. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest at her touch, and I wanted so much to hold her, but knew I couldn't. I had to walk away, because my emotions were breaking through, and I didn't want her to see me cry. She doesn't like to see me cry. It didn't help, that seeing her in the falling snow, made me remember our second wedding here on Kinmoku. She is still as beautiful as ever.
I heard her running after me, and I was really struggling to keep my tears from falling, but then the army turned up, and I switched to fight mode. I had to protect Seiya, but I knew she would be safer at home, so we ran. Once she was safe, I ran back, and continued fighting, alongside some of the Guards that were patrolling. It didn't take long, as there was only about ten, but man I was sore. I really shouldn't be fighting, but I have too.
"Those injured, return to the Palace, those who aren't, continue patrolling", I instructed the Guards, who nodded in understanding, before leaving.
It's weird knowing King Jiro, has given charge of his Guards to me. He thought it best, since I've dealt with the army before.
I watched them go, and sat down, resting against a fence, holding my arm, that had been sliced. Great. Another trip to the Healer's.
"Are you alright?".
"What are you doing here?", I asked Seiya, as I looked up to see her standing there.
"I was worried about you", she replied nervously, squatting beside me.
She was worried about me?. Even though she doesn't remember me, she still worries.
"You don't have to worry. I'll be fine", I assured her, standing.
"Can I at least tend to that wound?', she asked standing, and looking at my arm.
"No it's",
"Please. It's the least I can do after you got me home safe", she pleaded kindly, cutting me off.
This really isn't a good idea, but I can never say no to her.
"Alright", I nodded agreeing.
I then followed her back to her house, where she lead me to her bedroom.
"I'll be back in a moment", she smiled, before rushing out of the room.
I took a quick look around, noticing how plain her room looked. No photos, pictures, decorations, or anything. The room is quite large, as is the house, but the room feels so cold. She came back and started cleaning my wound, which I had to remove my jacket for.
"Ow", I gasped, as she put some ointment on it.
"Sorry", she smiled blushing.
I was gritting my teeth, both because of the pain, and because her touch was driving me crazy, as we sat on her bed.
"There you go. All done", she announced, after wrapping a bandage around it.
"Thankyou", I smiled blushing brightly.
She looked me in the eyes for a moment, but turned away quickly.
"Hey Seiya, whats going on?", a young man, who looked alot like Seiya asked, entering the room.
"I, I was just helping her", Seiya replied weakly.
I watched as he looked me up and down, making my eyebrows raise, not impressed.
"You are?", I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"Oh sorry. My name is Keiji. I'm one of Seiya's brothers", he replied smugly.
I stood and shook his hand, just as two more entered the room. They had dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes, with a different face. I guess they are good looking, but nothing like Seiya.
"Seiya, you should have told us she was here you idiot. Hi I'm Takashi, the eldest brother", he smiled offering his hand.
"And I'm Yoshio", the other announced, holding his hand out too.
I shook both their hands, noticing Seiya looking uncomfortable.
"I hope our sister hasn't made a complete fool of herself, and done anything to offend you", Yoshio questioned, giving Seiya an angry look.
"Please forgive her, if she has. Seiya isn't exactly the smartest person around", Takashi pleaded, looking at Seiya with disgust.
Okay, now I know why she doesn't talk about her family. I thought Shingo was annoying as a brother, but these three are worse.
I looked at Seiya, to see she was facing away from us, and I knew she was hurting.
"Well I best be going. Thankyou for helping me", I spoke, standing next to her.
"I, I, no problem", she managed to say, though she still looked away.
I bent over, and gently placing my finger under her chin, I lifted her eyes to see mine.
"I'll see you tomorrow", I winked, before leaving the room, and heading downstairs.
As I left her house, I couldn't help think, how much I wanted to give those guys a piece of my mind, for talking about her that way. I've never seen her look so unsure of herself, and to be honest, it scares me.
"So how did it go?", Haruka asked curiously.
She was waiting at the Palace gates for me, as I thought she might be.
"I apologised for my behavior, fought his army, ran her home, rushed back to fight some more, then she came back, took me to her house, dressed my wound, I met her three brothers, heard them talk down to her, I left before I hit them, then came here. Happy?", I rambled explaining.
"I'd be happier if you were more like yourself", she responded firmly.
"I am myself", I snapped.
Okay, so maybe I am a little moody, and pissed off, but I'm still me.
I decided I was over talking, so I left her, and headed into the Palace, and straight to my room.
I got hardly any sleep lastnight, but then again I've hardly slept the last week. I wish Starlight would show herself, and we could get this all over and done with. We haven't been able to find her, or even get a reading on her. It is so frustrating. I don't know how much longer I can go on.
"Do you think maybe we can't get a read on her, because of Usagi?", Rei asked thinking.
We were walking to the Cafe for lunch, and were talking about our situation.
"That could be the reason. She was created from Usagi's blood", Ami nodded in reply.
Great. Now I'm the reason we can't find her. Anything else I might be doing wrong?.
"So what do we do?", Makoto asked curious.
"I leave obviously".
"What did you just say?", Setsuna questioned from behind me.
I'm guessing I spoke out loud, judging by the looks on their faces. They'd all stopped dead, and I turned to face them.
"You can't leave", Minako stated firmly.
"Why not?. I'm not really doing anything here to help", I responded coldly.
"Usagi", Michiru sighed.
"What?. All we are doing is fighting his stupid army, and that thing won't show herself, so I can kick her arse, and get this all over with, and I have had enough", I cried furiously.
I was burning on the inside, as my anger was reaching boiling point. I walked off, not wanting to be around them. It is too much. Everything is just too much for me to deal with, and I am losing control.
"Hello Usagi", Seiya smiled as I entered the Cafe.
"Hi", I snapped, taking a seat at the counter.
I saw her sad look, and automatically felt bad.
"Sorry. I didn't sleep too good", I apologised feeling guilty.
"Thats okay", she smiled looking down.
I saw my friends enter, and sit at the usual booth, as Seiya made her way over to them. I just sat there, with my head in my hands, feeling terrible.
"Missing the Moon are we Princess?", Striker whispered, leaning on the counter in front of me.
"What?", I gasped shocked.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone", she winked smiling.
"You remember?", I asked weakly.
"I've had these dreams since I was little, of you and I in a garden, but since you've being spending time here, I've had different ones. Your name was Serenity wasn't it?", she replied happily.
She remembers her past life on the Moon. Oh my god. My heart started beating excitedly, and I felt myself starting to smile.
"You know who I was in my past life?", I whispered, a little unsure.
"Yes. I also remember we were very good friends, and you gave me this", she grinned, pulling her necklace out from inside her shirt.
That was all it took. I jumped over the counter, and dragged her into the Kitchen, where I hugged her tightly.
She hugged me back, and god it felt good to at least have her remember part of me.
"Whats going on?", Haruka asked, as she entered.
She didn't look too happy, but like I cared.
"Sailor Uranus. Good to see you again", Striker smiled kindly.
"Huh?", Haruka gasped shocked.
"She remembers her past life with us on the Moon", I informed her happily.
There was a little bit of tension in the room, but it wasn't awkward.
"So you remember being a Starlight?", Haruka asked curiously.
"Yes, but I'm not anymore, though I do remember how to fight. I also remember the promise I made to protect Serenity, or should I say Usagi", she replied nodding.
I looked at Haruka, who was staring at Striker, with an amused expression. I couldn't let go of Striker, leaving my arms wrapped around her waist.
"Striker I", Seiya spoke as she entered, only to stop, when she saw us.
The look on her face, was of horror, and hurt. I hope she isn't thinking something stupid.
