LAST TIME:
Minako bolted up in the bed and looked at Yaten. Tears spilled from her eyes. Yaten began to stir. He was met a crying Minako. He immediately sat up and hugged her. She cried harder when she realized that Yaten was holding her and she could feel his warmth. Yaten pulled back so he could wipe her tears away.
"Shh, it's ok I'm here." Yaten said soothingly. Minako began to quiet her cries. She looked into eyes and smiled at him.
"I love you so much!" Minako said happily. Yaten laughed at Minako and smiled.
"I love you so much too Mina." Yaten replied. He kissed her on her forehead.
"Hey, let's take an actual nap. I'm drained." Minako said. Yaten grinned at her. He could see she was back to her old self quickly. They laid back down and Minako snuggled up to Yaten. He laid on his back and she laid beside him with her hand on his chest.
"Thank you." Minako whispered.
"For?" Yaten asked confused.
"Finding me in this lifetime." She replied. She smiled as she could feel his warmth and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
NOW:
The sun shone brightly through the window of Usagi's bedroom. It was mid morning and birds were happily chirping. Seiya woke up and was greeted by the warmth from the sun. He smiled as if saying hello to the sun. Seiya looked at the sleeping Usagi in his arms. He loved the shine of her light and if he could he would bathe in it. She was so sweet and caring, that's what he loved about her. 'She deserves to have something special...And I'm going to give it to her.' Seiya thought genuinely. Quietly he pulled himself from Usagi. She began to stir but rolled over on her other side and resumed sleeping. Seiya tip-toed out of her room. When he got in the living room he sighed to himself. He grabbed his phone, Usagi's keys, and his wallet. Now he was on a mission to surprise Usagi when she got up. He hoped it would be soon, he missed her.
Usagi awoke to a dark room. She assumed it was night time. She slowly opened and closed her eyes unsure whether or not she was going back to sleep. Her body still felt weak but she had enough strength to get up. She rolled over and didn't see Seiya there and she frowned. 'Where's Seiya?' Usagi thought sadly. She struggled to sit up but she managed to. She could hear noises from the kitchen and decided she would investigate. She placed her feet on the ground and tried to stand up. But her body and gravity were working against her. She fell to the floor with a loud thud. She heard feet shuffling towards her and there stood in her doorway was a concerned Seiya.
"Odango!" Seiya yelled.
"I'm fine...I was just trying to-" Usagi began explaining herself. Seiya walked over to her and picked her up and gently placed her back on the bed. Usagi blushed a little. She never had Seiya pick her up before.
"Usagi you need to be careful." Seiya said in a serious tone. Usagi looked down ashamed. She knew her body was still weak from the day before. Seiya rarely ever called her by her real name so she knew he meant business.
"Seiya, I'm sorry for being such a burden on you." Usagi said quietly. Seiya sat next to her on the bed and place his hand on her cheek. He slowly caressed it as he looked in her eyes.
"Usagi, you'll never be a burden on me. You're more of incentive to life. You make everything better. I rather spend every second of my life with you than a second without you. So don't call yourself a burden. I like having you around." Seiya said seriously. Usagi smiled at him and nodded her head. He automatically smiled back. It was like a reflex of his. Whenever Usagi smiled at him, he had the urge to smile back. Seiya got up from the bed and was about to go back to doing what he was doing when Usagi grabbed his arm. He looked down at her curiously.
"Where are you going?" Usagi asked anxiously.
"It's a surprise." Seiya said with a wink. Usagi got really excited. She loves surprises.
"Can I have a hint?" Usagi asked sweetly.
"No, it'll ruin it." Seiya said laughing.
"What about, I'll give you a kiss and you give me a hint?" Usagi suggested. Seiya looked at her and chuckled to himself. 'She's sly. She knows I'll never pass up a chance to kiss her.' Seiya thought.
"Deal." He said and held out his hand. She gladly shook it and pulled him towards her. She smiled at him then wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her. She leaned in and brushed her lips against his and it sent a chill down her spine. Seiya wasn't much a follower; he was more of a leader, so he decided to take the lead. He leaned more into to the kiss so that their lips were completely touching. Seiya began stroking Usagi's back and he earned a soft whimper from her. Usagi wanted more from Seiya, she parted her lips and Seiya parted his lips and slipped his tongue inside her mouth. The moment their tongues touched their bodies began to melt into each others. Usagi became hungry with passion and deepened the kiss. Although Seiya didn't mind, he still owed Usagi a surprise and he wanted to give it to her. Slowly he started to pull away from her. Usagi tried to greedily grab at Seiya's shirt to pull him closer but he was faster and he caught her by the wrist to keep her from grabbing his shirt. He finally pulled away from the kiss and looked at a flustered Usagi. She looked everywhere but Seiya's eyes.
"Odango, why are you so red?" Seiya asked jokingly. Usagi began grinning uncontrollably.
"Give me my hint please." Usagi said changing the subject.
"It'll make you warm all over." Seiya said. Usagi stared at him puzzled. 'Make me warm all over?' She thought. Seiya stood up and was about to walk out when he was stopped by Usagi again.
"Hey! Don't leave me in here." Usagi shouted at Seiya.
"Where do you want to go?" Seiya asked.
"Wherever you are." Usagi said seriously. Seiya walked up to Usagi and picked her up from the bed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on him. He carefully carried her to the living room and set her on the couch.
"You don't have to carry me everywhere." Usagi said.
"Until you can prove you can walk without falling over, I'll carry you wherever you need to go. I'm taking care of you today Odango. I don't want you to hurt yourself. Just rest and relax." Seiya said sweetly. Usagi looked at Seiya and couldn't help but smile. Just like a chain reaction he smiled back at her. Seiya walked back in the kitchen to finish what he was doing. Usagi leaned forward and grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels. Settling on some cartoons as she waited for Seiya to come back. Seiya stood in the kitchen fixing Usagi some food, knowing she would be hungry and her body needed the food for energy. He couldn't wait to see her face when he showed her the surprise he promised. He wanted her to relax for a day or two. She was always up and doing something and he felt she never had time for herself. She was Sailor Moon always protecting others and saving the world but even a super heroine such as herself deserves time to relax. Seiya finished preparing the food. As on cue Usagi yelled.
"Seiya! I'm hungry." She shouted. Seiya laughed to himself. He knew his Odango pretty well which surprised him because he hadn't been around her in six years. Even though she changed in some ways she still seemed the same. Seiya brought the tray over to Usagi and set it down in her lap. She squealed with joy when she seen all the food on her tray. Usagi quickly picked up her chopsticks and began eating the noodles in a bowl. Seiya watched as Usagi practically inhaled the food he made for her. 'I guess she was R-E-A-L-L-Y hungry.' Seiya thought as he sweat dropped. Usagi consumed everything that was on the tray and almost ate the chopsticks if Seiya didn't stop her. Usagi felt full and warm. She looked at Seiya.
"This was your surprise? Food?" Usagi asked nicely. Seiya looked at her and laughed.
"No Odango. I have to take you to the surprise. But I have to check on it so wait a few minutes ok?" Seiya said. Usagi nodded her head. Seiya got up and ran back into Usagi's room. Usagi heard shuffling going on in her room. She saw Seiya return with a smile on his face.
"Come on Odango." Seiya said as he went and picked Usagi up.
"Close your eyes and no peeking!" Seiya demanded. Usagi followed his orders and closed her eyes. She was excited to see what Seiya had plan for her. He carried Usagi into her large bathroom in her room. Usagi could smell scents of Mango and Pomegranate in the air and she faintly heard classical music in the background.
"Ok, Open your eyes." Seiya said happily. Usagi opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. Candles were lit everywhere. The bath was filled with bubbles. A champagne glass with a strawberry sat on a tiny tray beside the tub. Rose petals were scattered everywhere . They were on the counters, the floors, even in the bath. A silky white night gown hung on a hanger near the tub. Usagi looked at Seiya amazed, wondered how he did it all.
"T-This is for me?" Usagi asked not believing her eyes. Seiya smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
"Of course Odango. You deserve to relax and rest. I wanted to make this special for you. Tonight's your night. I am here to cater to your every need." Seiya whispered softly in her ear. Usagi began to blush. 'Cater to my every need?' She thought with a smile.
"I swear, sometimes I don't deserve you." Usagi said quietly.
"You only deserve the best, and I'm the best!" Seiya said with a wink. Usagi smiled at him.
"I'm going to put you down now and you can get undressed...and get into the tub. If you need help just call me ok? I'll be back in here to check on you later." Seiya said blushing, thinking about Usagi being undressed. Usagi was oblivious to his blush and nodded her head. Seiya sat her down on the toilet with the seat down. He walked out of the bathroom leaving the door slightly open so he could hear her yell if she needed him. He started moving onto step two of her special night. Usagi sat on the toilet seat lid. She began to take off her shorts and the shirt she had on the day before. She quickly took off her bra and panties and hurried to get into the tub. She didn't want Seiya to walk in on her naked. She slowly lowered herself into the tub.
"This does make me feel warm." Usagi said with a smile. Once she was settled in the tub she reached up and took her odangos out and her hair fell around her. She reached over to the table and picked up the champagne glass and took a sip of it. She began to rub her nose wildly as she felt the bubbles in the champagne attack her senses. She looked at the glass and shook her head and put it back, she didn't think she could survive another attack. There was a mini pillow she could rest her head on and she just laid back and closed her eyes. Her mind began to wonder to what else Seiya had in store for her. It could be anything. She began to hum along with the classical music as she recognized the song. She opened her eyes and looked at the pink bubbles in front of her and giggled. It reminded her of when she was younger and would always play in the tub.
"Seiya knows how to bring out the kid in me." Usagi said to herself. She wondered where he ran away to, he had been gone for at least ten minutes and she missed his smiling face.
"Seiya!" Usagi shouted. Seiya knocked on the door before he walked in.
"Yea." Seiya said. He was now wearing a white t-shirt with black shorts. He had a black tie tied around his neck. A towel laid on his arm. Usagi looked at Seiya and her eyebrows furrowed up wondering why he was dress that way.
"Um, Seiya? What's with the outfit?" Usagi questioned.
"It's apart of your night. I'm here to wait on you hand and foot." Seiya replied.
"Oook. Um I need a bath-cloth-" Usagi started.
"Here you go." Seiya said as an pink loofah appeared in his hand. Usagi looked at him crazily.
"H-How did you do that?" She asked eagerly.
"It's a secret." Seiya said with a wink. She took the loofah carefully and stared at it as if she was waiting for it to disappear.
"Anything else, Princess?" Seiya asked politely.
"Princess?" Usagi asked.
"Well you are a Princess aren't you? The Moon Princess and my Princess." Seiya said seductively. Usagi began to blush at the fact that Seiya called her his Princess.
"U-Um, that's all I needed. Thanks." Usagi stuttered. Seiya always knew how to make her blush. Seiya bowed and walk back into Usagi's room. Usagi dipped the loofah in the warm water and grabbed the bottle of mango and pomegranate body wash and squeezed some onto the loofah and started to wash her body. She felt a wave of relaxation wash over her. She sighed as she laid back into the tub. She felt so calm just laying there but she knew that sooner or later she would have to get out. Usagi glanced up at the white silk night gown that hung from the hanger. She smiled to herself. Seiya picked out something nice and simple. It was all an all white silk night gown that had spaghetti straps, it had a small split on the left side by the thigh and tiny flower designs on the garment. Usagi guessed it would stopped about mid thigh on her. Suddenly Seiya knocked on the door. Usagi looked at the door expecting Seiya in his "outfit" from earlier but instead she was surprised to see that he was wearing navy blue pajama pants that had silver shooting stars on them. He was without a shirt.
"Odango? Are you almost done? I have another surprise waiting for you." Seiya asked. Usagi wasn't paying attention to what Seiya was saying. She was too busy checking out the six pack he was sporting. His abs were cut and she can distinguish each ab perfectly. Her eyes wondered a little bit further down as she spotted his pants stopping at the perfect spot on his lower half. Usagi could see his oblique line and she licked her lips as if she was ready to devour him. Her eyes wondered back up to his chest and some how she found her way to his broad built shoulders. She saw the muscles that were contracted even when all he did was stand there. 'OH MY! WOW He is looking so yummy right now. What I wouldn't give to-' Usagi began to wonder but was interrupted by Seiya.
"EARTH TO ODANGO!" Seiya almost yelled. Usagi jumped as if something scared her. She looked at Seiya who was staring at her curiously. A smirk appeared on his face and she instantly blushed. 'I think he can read my thoughts.' Usagi thought as Seiya smirked at her. She almost forgot that she was in the tub until Seiya looked down at her and a slight blush appeared on his face. 'What is he blushing-OH GOD I'M STILL IN THE TUB! NAKED AT THAT!' Usagi thought embarrassed as her blush became deeper.
"Um, what did you need?" Usagi asked shyly. Seiya couldn't tear his gaze away from her in the tub. 'She looks so beautiful. I love the way her hair is like a golden waterfall, I want to run my fingers through it. I want her to see her next surprise but I prefer her in the tub like this and I could join-WHAT AM I THINKING! HENTAI HENTAI HENTAI!' Seiya thought. He looked at Usagi blushing in the tub and his mind went blank.
"Sorry, I can't remember." Seiya said quietly as he looked away from Usagi. Usagi tilted her head at him with a quizzical look on her face.
"Was it something about my surprise?" Usagi asked. Seiya looked at her and all his thoughts came rushing back to him. He shook head yes.
"It's time for you to get out and put the night gown on please." Seiya said.
"Hai. Give me about ten minutes." Usagi replied. Once again Seiya bowed and left Usagi. Seiya walked back into Usagi's room. There were tons of red and white candles lit giving the room a soft glow. Seiya had rose petals scattered on the floor and he had two trails of roses. One led to her bed and the other led to her balcony. Outside on the balcony were two lounge chairs and a small table that had a lit candle covered by glass to keep it from going out. Strawberries were aligned in a heart on a plate with a heart shaped bowl filled with chocolate for dipping. Seiya admired his handy work and walked out onto the balcony and felt the warm air that blew against him. He could still smell the mango and pomegranate from Usagi's body wash. His hair floated gently in the wind. He looked up at the sky and smiled to himself. The moon was shining brightly and there were millions of stars surrounding the moon. When Seiya looked at the moon it gave him a serene feeling, the same feeling he got whenever he was around Usagi. She was just like the moon, her light would brighten the darkness. She was so pure and he loved it. Seiya was brought out of his star gazing when he was interrupted by Usagi.
"Seiya?" Usagi asked standing by her bed. Seiya turned around and lost his breath. Usagi had her hair up in it's odangos that had curls cascading from them and she was wearing the white night gown Seiya bought. It stopped mid thigh on her. She was smiling happily at him. Seiya couldn't believe how beautiful she looked right now.
"O-Odango, wow." Seiya managed to get out. Usagi walked over to him. After the food and relaxing in the tub she didn't feel so weak and she could move around just fine. She stood on the balcony facing him. The moonlight hit her and gave her an angelic glow. Seiya couldn't help but smile at Usagi.
"Your walking by yourself." Seiya added. Usagi nodded her head agreeing with him.
"It was all thanks to you!" Usagi said happily.
"I would do it for you any day." Seiya responded.
"The room looks beautiful. And-" Usagi said as she looked down at the table and seen the plate of strawberries. She gasped and looked back up at Seiya and he smiled at her.
"Aww, Seiya! I love strawberries...this is so cute!" Usagi squealed happily.
"Anything for you, Odango." Seiya whispered softly. Seiya wrapped his Usagi in a gentle hug. They stayed like that for awhile. Just holding each other in the moonlight. Usagi turned to look up at the sky and saw the moon shining brightly along with the millions of stars with it.
"Usagi...Seiya...it's time to come home." A female voice whispered in the wind.
Usagi's ears perked up the voice, it sounded vaguely familiar but she just brush it off thinking she was hearing things.
"Seiya, have you ever noticed that the moon and the stars are shining extremely brightly tonight?" Usagi questioned. Seiya looked at her. He knew why the moon and the stars shone brightly that night and it was all because of her. He smiled at her and reached up to caress her cheek.
"Hai, I did notice." Seiya said staring deep into her sapphire eyes. It was like then and there he could see into her soul. He felt connected to her in many ways. Usagi stared at his ocean eyes and smiled to herself. She felt so warm all over but the warm feeling grew more in her heart. 'Maybe it's from the bath, I stayed in there for quite some time.' Usagi thought as the warm feeling grew more. She took Seiya's hand in her's and intertwined their fingers and placed it between their hearts. Seiya could feel a warm sensation growing in their hands and he looked down to see a soft pink light emitting from their hands. He looked back up at Usagi who was fixated in a trance. She stared lovingly at him and soon enough he was caught in the trance too. A red glow surrounded Seiya as a white glow surrounded Usagi. A red shooting star appeared on Seiya's forehead as did a crescent moon on Usagi's.
"Odango?" Seiya asked dreamily.
"Hai." She responded in the same tone as him.
"When was the last time you visited the Moon Kingdom?"
"Not since I went to the future to help save myself and Crystal Tokyo." She replied. Their bodies began to sway in unison as if the were slowly waltzing across a dance floor.
"Come back to the place where you first fell in love." A male's voice added gently. Seiya nodded his head agreeing with the voice for some reason.
"Then let's go now." Seiya suggested. Usagi smiled at him and nodded. Their feet began to lift from the ground. While holding hands they race towards the Moon Kingdom leaving behind a streak of red and white lights in the sky. They began to approach the Moon at a fast rate. The Moon looked like a big pearl to them since they were so close. Usagi could see her old home on top of hill.
"We're home." She heard Seiya whisper. 'We?' She thought to herself. They landed gently in front of the palace doors. The doors were tall and skinny and it was made from a special pearl. When the light would hit the pearl millions of colors would shine through. The palace doors had stars and moons designed on them. Slowly the doors began to open. Neither one of them were alarmed. Usagi and Seiya walked into the main hall of the palace. It was aligned by an endless sea of columns that reached the all the way to the top of the palace and stretched all the way down the hall. The columns were just like the doors, made from the special pearl. Tall windows were along one of the walls of the main hallway. The view from the windows consisted of multiple rose and flower gardens and a view Earth.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Usagi said spoke softly. Seiya held her hand tightly. A red light from down the hall caught his attention. It was floating in a pattern of a star. Suddenly a white light appeared next to it. The white light spun around in a spherical shape which formed a moon.
"Odango, look." Seiya said catching Usagi's attention. Usagi looked at the two lights down the hall. She gasped at the sight. She didn't have any clue what it was, however she didn't feel scared. The lights felt familiar to her but she couldn't place them.
"It's time to find true love again." Two voices spoke.
"Did you hear that?" Usagi asked. Seiya looked at her and nodded his head. At least they knew they weren't going crazy. The lights flew towards them and stopped a few feet away from the couple. This time they were sure where the voices where coming from.
"It's time to find true love again." The lights repeated.
"What?" Seiya and Usagi asked at the same time.
"It's time to find true love again." The lights repeated one last time. The lights danced around Usagi and Seiya and then floated back down the hallway and stopped. Usagi looked at Seiya and they came to an agreement without speaking. They slowly followed the lights as the lights led them to a specific destination. They passed by many rooms and places and made several turns. Usagi wasn't sure that if she needed to get back to where she started that she would make it. Suddenly the lights stopped in front of double doors. These doors were made from crystal. The crystal doors had crescent moon patterns on it. The lights passed through the doors. Usagi stared at the doors because they seemed familiar to her but once again she couldn't figure it out. She laid a hand on the door and a picture of young Prince flashed in her mind. She quickly removed her hand as if the door burned her.
"What's wrong?" Seiya asked concerned. Usagi looked at her hand as if it would give her all the answers to her questions she had.
"When I touched the door I saw a young Prince." Usagi barely whispered. Seiya looked at her confused. He couldn't understand what was going on.
"Did you know who it was?" He questioned.
"Hai." She replied simply.
"Who?" He asked eager to know.
"You." She said as she turned to look at him. Seiya looked at her and let out a nervous chuckle.
"You saw me?" He asked non-believing.
"Yea." She replied seriously. Seiya didn't fully understand why Usagi would see him when she touched the door. He had never been to the Moon Kingdom before, or so he thought. The doors slowly creaked opened and they walked inside. Inside the room was a canopy bed with silver silk sheets and sheer white curtains hanging from it. Steps led up to the bed. A small silver vanity table sat over in the corner with a silver chair. A white wardrobe closet sat a few feet away from the vanity table. A tall mirror with three views to it sat right beside the wardrobe closet. There was a door that led to a balcony that overlooked a rose garden with a small lake and a water fountain. Usagi felt drawn to the bed in the room and slowly walked toward it. Seiya followed behind her. She gently sat on the bed and Seiya sat beside her. He stared at her as she looked around the room trying to remember something. The two lights returned in front of them but this time it took shapes of people. Seiya gasped at the person that stood before him.
"Is-Is that me?" He stuttered. Usagi was use to seeing herself from another time period so it didn't bother her. She looked at him and smiled and shook her head.
"Seiya-sama, it's time you and Serenity found true love again." Seiya's younger self spoke. He was a slightly younger version of Seiya. He was dressed in a formal black tuxedo with a white rose in his jacket pocket. His blue eyes were shinning very brightly and he smiled at his future self. Seiya looked at his past self and then at Usagi's past self and couldn't believe he was seeing these things.
"What do you mean find true love again?" Seiya asked the two transparent figures in front of him. Serenity smiled at Seiya's curiosity.
"You and I, well Usagi have a past together." Serenity spoke gracefully. Now Usagi was in shock. 'Seiya and I have a past?' Usagi thought curiously.
"Serenity, what do you mean? I don't remember him from the Moon Kingdom." Usagi asked.
"It's complicated, you'll have to ask Pluto to explain it." Serenity replied. Usagi shook her head in understanding.
"Will you tell us of our past?" Seiya questioned. Serenity and Seiya (past) looked at Usagi and the dark headed Starlight beside her and smiled while shaking their heads no.
"We will show you." They replied simultaneously. Usagi and Seiya became confused.
"How?" Usagi asked.
"Lay down on the bed and relax. Let your mind become free and we'll do the rest." Seiya replied. Usagi and Seiya did as they were told. Usagi laid down looking up at the ceiling which had millions of stars on it. Seiya laid nervously beside her unable to clear his mind since he had so many questions. Serenity and Seiya went and stood beside their future selves.
"All of us must join hands." Serenity said. Usagi took Seiya and Serenity's hand while Seiya took his past self and Usagi's hand.
"Let us find true love again." Serenity and Seiya said together. Serenity and Usagi began to glow a soft white glow. Seiya and his past self were emitting a red glow. There was a pink glow coming from Usagi and Seiya's intertwined hands. Soon the their eyes became heavy with sleep. Serenity and Seiya began to float in the air and then vanished into Usagi and Seiya's bodies.
From the first time your eyes met mine
I felt a flutter of butterflies
When you touch me, you woke me inside
Like thunder crashing in still of the night
Skin on skin
You've got me trembling
But I wont fight or deny whats happening
Let love begin
Oh I know its never gonna end
Its the real thing I'm feeling
All the others were pretend
Let love begin
Now it's time to dive right in
Don't save me if I'm drowning
Just take me down again
Princess Serenity stood in front of her mirror admiring the gown the seamstress made for her. It was a white gown that flowed freely and was light on her. The gown had no straps and had silver heart patterns on the bodice. Serenity twirled around once more in the dress and smiled to herself. Her hair was done up in it's usual odangos and she had curls streaming from the odangos. Her hair was adorned with silver heart shaped bows around the buns and a small diamond tiara sat on top of her golden hair. She wore silver ankle strapped open-toed two inched heels. Tonight was a special night. It was all about her finding a suitor for her to marry in the future. However, she had already secretly chosen a suitor. Kou Seiya, a Prince from the planet Kinmoku. Serenity met him when her mother and her went on a diplomatic business trip. They had a chance to stay in the Palace and they had run into each other, literally, by accident. He was walking with the lovely Fireball Princess, Kakyuu. They weren't related in any way, he moved into the Kingdom after his mother passed away and it was in her will that her only son stay with the Queen, who was a dearest friend. The Queen decided to raise him as her own and make him a Prince of her Kingdom. Seiya was mesmerized by Serenity and wanted to know about her. He was interested in her a person and not what she was. He would try to win her over by doing everything possible in his being. Sometimes she would reject him but he never gave up, he was determined to win her heart. He sent her dozens of roses, planned special activities where it would be just them, he wrote her poetry, and even wrote her songs. Serenity had never had a Prince pursue her as much as Seiya did. Most Princes gave up after she rejected them the first time. Even though she rejected him,deep down she wanted to be with him, she just didn't want to be used for her status. She wanted to fall in love and eventually she fell for him. After they fell in love Serenity and Seiya would take every chance they had to see each other. Even if it was for an hour, they would spend all their time together. He would come to visit her or she would go visit him. They would send each other love letters everyday. She told him of the day when she had to formally choose a suitor to marry and she hoped it was him. She also told him of her other possible suitor, Prince Endymion from the planet Earth. Her mother made this arrangement as a possible treaty between the Earth and the Moon. Seiya said that he would gladly take the role of being her suitor. From then on they would countdown the days until it was their special day. Serenity heard a knock at her door.
"Come in." She said happily. Her four guardians entered. The Princess' of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus wearing spaghetti strapped gown that stopped at her ankles and tiara on their heads in their planetary colors. Serenity turned around and ran to hug her friends. She was so excited about tonight. She would express to the world her love for Seiya Kou.
"Are you ready Princess?" Ami, Princess of Mercury, asked equally excited.
"I think so, how do I look?" Serenity asked.
"You look beautiful." Makoto, Princess of Jupiter replied.
"Stunning." Rei, Princess of Mars said with a wink.
"Drop dead gorgeous!" Minako, Princess of Venus, said with a smile. Serenity gave her guardians one last hug. She slowly walked out of her room down the hall and into the grand ballroom. She stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at her mother and smiled. The Princess could hear a lot of chatter amongst the many people that were there. She scanned the room hoping she would find a certain dark haired man.
"Excuse me, may I have your attention." An angelic voice spoke. Everyone grew silent and focused their attention on the speaker, which happened to be Queen Serenity.
"I would like to thank you all for coming tonight and sharing this special night with my daughter and I." The Queen said politely. Everyone applauded and then fell silent.
"Tonight is her night and I hope she enjoys herself, and also enjoy yourselves too. I would like to present to you my daughter, Princess Serenity, heir to the Moon Kingdom and future Queen." Queen Serenity finished. Everyone began to clap and cheer. Serenity smiled and waved to all the people in the crowd. She was also searching for her King to be, but frowned internally when she couldn't find him.
"Let the festivities began." The Queen said happily. Everyone resumed talking and carrying on. Serenity walked down the stairs and began to walk through the crowds greeting people. The room was decorated with silver streamers. A crystallized chandelier hung from the ceiling above the dance floor. Silver balloons were scattered everywhere by tables with silver ribbons hanging from them. Serenity was still looking for Seiya but couldn't seem to find him. Serenity bumped into someone by accident.
"I'm sorry." She said and bowed.
"No I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." The person responded. Serenity looked up and smiled a small smile at the person.
"Prince Endymion, how are you?" Serenity asked.
"I've been well, and yourself?" He replied with a smile. The Prince was wearing a formal black and white tuxedo with a red rose inserted to his jacket pocket.
"Just enjoying this night."
"Have you found a suitor yet?" He asked curiously. She shook her head.
"No, not yet." She lied. Suddenly a soft melody began to play. He looked at her and smiled once more.
"Would you like to dance?" He said offering his hand. She glanced over the crowd once more looking for Seiya, but sadly she couldn't find him. She smiled at Endymion and reluctantly agreed. He led her out on the dance floor and began a slow waltz with her. She laid her hand on his chest while they danced. He held her hand in his and held her by the waist with his other hand. Everyone stopped and watched as the couple danced gracefully on the dance floor. The Prince's mind was on the beauty in front of him but she was still thinking about the Kinmokuian Prince. Serenity looked towards the doorway by the rose garden and there stood Seiya smiling. He was dressed in a formal black and silver tuxedo. A white rose hung from his jacket pocket. Serenity's heart began to speed up and she began to blush. She had forgotten she was dancing Endymion until he caught her attention.
"Princess, are you ok? You seem distracted." Endymion asked concerned.
"Um- No, I'm fine." She replied. She looked back to where Seiya was standing just in time to see his ponytail disappear outside into the rose garden. Serenity wanted to go after him so badly but she was still dancing. She couldn't wait any longer. She pulled her body away from him and proceeded to go after Seiya but she Endymion grabbed her wrist.
"Serenity-hime, where are you-" He began.
"Gomen, it was nice seeing you again." She said as she pulled away from his grasp and darted into the crowd. She walked by people who tried to stop and have a conversation with her but she would politely tell them she had important business to attend to. She finally made it to the doors of the garden. She walked outside and saw the water fountain in the middle of a small lake. There was a bench near the lake and a roses blooming everywhere. She began looking by the lake but couldn't find him. She looked everywhere and still couldn't find him. She walked near her balcony and sighed to herself.'Where could he gone that fast?' Serenity thought sadly.
"Seiya, where are you?" She asked herself aloud.
"Up here." He responded. She looked up and saw Seiya standing on her balcony smiling at her. She smiled back.
"What are you doing up there?" She said still smiling at him.
"I thought maybe I could get some alone time with the beautiful Princess Serenity, have you seen her?" Seiya replied playfully.
"Yes I have, she's been looking for you all night long." Serenity responded just as playfully.
"Well, tell her I said meet me on this balcony in no more than five minutes." He said with a wink.
"Hai, yes Seiya-sama." Serenity spoke softly and bowed to the Prince from Kinmoku. She turned away from him and walked back inside. The moment she stepped in the ballroom she was bombarded with men who wanted to spend some alone time with her. She politely declined and said she had fallen ill and that she would retire to her room. Many of them offered to help her to room but she told them she would be just fine. She carefully slipped past her mother who was talking to a diplomat from Earth. She ran up the side stairs that led to here bedroom from the ballroom. She smiled when she finally made it to her door and she opened it. She immediately looked to the balcony to see Seiya standing there admiring the stars in the night sky.
"It's a beautiful view isn't it?" She asked as she slowly made her way to Seiya. He turned around at the sound of her voice. He smirked and offered his hand to her.
"Not as beautiful as you. My dear Sere, it's been a long time since I've seen you." He said while taking her hand and leading her onto the balcony.
"I know, I've missed you too." She replied softly. Seiya looked at her and gently caressed her cheek. He hated being so far from her and missed her every second they spent apart. She looked lovingly into his eyes and leaned in and kissed him gently. He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly. Shooting stars began to rain across the sky as the couple held onto each other.
Shooting stars fly over our heads
Like heaven was smiling the night we met
Deep as the ocean, true and blue
I never felt this way til I found you
Here I stand giving you all I am
For eternity just you and me
Lets take our chance
Let love begin
Oh I know its never gonna end
Its the real thing I'm feeling
All the others were pretend
Let love begin
Now it's time to dive right in
Don't save me if I'm drowning
Just take me down again
Seiya pulled away from the kissed. Serenity still had her eyes closed. She was enjoying the moment she had with her soon to be Prince.
"Serenity, I have something for you." Seiya said sweetly. Serenity finally opened her eyes and was eager to know what he could possibly have for her. The shooting stars continued to rain across the sky. Seiya went into his jacket and pulled out a small ring box. Her eyes instantly lit up and she knew what was coming next. Tears started to pour from her eyes, she was so excited and happy that this moment was finally coming true.
"You didn't even let me make my little speech first." Seiya said playfully as he wiped away her tears.
"I know, I 'm sorry. I'll hold back the tears until you finish." She responded with a smile.
"Serenity, you know I love you so much and you mean the world to me. I'm the luckiest man in the universe to have you in my life. I can't imagine what it would be like if I never met you. I wouldn't give you up for anything and I'll do anything to keep you here by my side. You bring me so much joy and happiness and I want that to continue on for the rest of our lives." Seiya got down on one knee and opened the box. In the box sat a medium sized diamond ring with moons and stars on the silver band. Serenity gasped at the beautiful ring and the water works began all over again. He looked Serenity in the eyes and smiled at her. He presented the box and asked the question he'd been wanting to ask her for a very long time.
"Sere, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked already knowing the answer. She couldn't speak, she was stuck in the moment. Serenity just nodded her head and smiled. Seiya grinned at her and slipped the ring on her finger. He got up and kissed his future wife. He held her tightly and didn't have any plans to let her go.
"Seiya! Look at the ring!" Serenity shouted astonished. Seiya looked down at the ring to see a red light and a white swirling in the diamond. He gently rubbed the diamond and the lights mixed together and formed a soft pink light. The diamond became a permanent light pink.
"Wow, I guess Queen Keiko was right." Seiya said to himself.
"What are you talking about?" Serenity asked.
"The Queen helped me pick out this ring. She told me that if two people are really meant to be together, their aura colors would mix in the diamond and become one and the color becomes the permanent color of the ring." Seiya explained. Serenity looked down at her ring and smiled.
"So I guess we are just perfect for each other." She said sweetly. He nodded to her.
"Let's go inform everyone of our engagement." Seiya said happily. Serenity took his hand in hers and walked out to the ballroom.
Crash into me
Well be complete
Cover me with kisses like the air I breathe
Don't hesitate, don't be afraid
Sometimes you just gotta do it
Surrender yourself to it
The couple stopped at the top of the stairs. The Queen looked up at her daughter and walked up to them.
"I've been looking for you Sere-" Her mother stopped mid sentence and looked down at their intertwined hands and smiled. She saw the pink diamond ring and immediately recognized it.
"Well it's about time. You two are perfect for each other. I thought I was going to lose my bet with Keiko." The Queen said playfully.
"What bet?" Seiya and Serenity asked together.
"We had a bet going. I said you would propose to her tonight and Keiko thought you would propose on the day of your choosing of a future Queen. Obviously I was right. I love the ring we picked out." The Queen said with a wink.
"You guys knew?" Serenity asked dumbfounded.
"Of course we did, the love letters, you two spending lots of time together, the way Seiya would look at you, the way you would blush every time his name was mentioned. It was obvious you guys were in love and Keiko and I couldn't find two people more deserving of each other." The Queen stated simply.
"And you're ok with us together? You know since he's from another galaxy?" Serenity asked quietly.
"Of course it's ok. You know what I say: Love is love, it knows no boundaries." The Queen said with a smile. Serenity smiled at her mother. She loved how her mother was so free spirited when it came to love.
"Shall I introduce my daughter and future son-in-law?" The Queen asked. They nodded together.
"Oh yea, congratulations." The Queen said as she hugged the couple.
"Excuse me but can I have everyone's attention?" The Queen began. The room grew quiet and everyone stared in the The Queen's direction.
"It has come to my attention that my daughter has chosen a suitor and I couldn't be more happy to introduce the couple to everyone. Future Queen of the Moon Kingdom, my daughter Princess Serenity II and her future husband and future King of the Moon Kingdom, Kou Seiya, Prince of Kinmoku." The Queen finished and everyone began to applaud the lovely couple. Serenity and Seiya began to wave to the cheering crowd. After the cheering died down Serenity spoke.
"We would like to thank you for sharing this special night with us and let everyone enjoy the rest of the night." Serenity said politely. Seiya led her down the stairs. People began to rush the couple to congratulate them. After a while of receiving congratulations from multiple diplomats and friends the couple walked on the dance floor and began to waltz. Seiya held Serenity close to him.
"I could do this forever you know." She whispered sweetly. Seiya smiled at her.
"Me too." He replied. He kissed her forehead and her crescent moon began to glow softly.
"I love you Seiya." She told him.
"I love you too Serenity." He whispered in her ear.
"Promise to never leave me?" She asked while grabbing onto him tightly.
"Hai, I promise. No matter what happens we'll always be together." He said reassuringly. She looked up at him and smiled. They leaned in for a gentle kiss. She smiled to herself, she got the man of her dreams and she wasn't going to let him go.
Let love begin
Oh I know its never gonna end
Its the real thing I'm feeling
All the others were pretend
Let love begin
Now it's time to dive right in
Don't save me if I'm drowning
Just take me down again
Usagi rolled over in her bed and opened her eyes to see a sleeping Seiya. 'Was last night a dream?' She thought. She sat up and seen the millions of extinguished candles scattered everywhere and rose petals on the floor leading from the bathroom. She smiled to herself. She ran her fingers through her hair. Suddenly her hair became caught on something. She began to struggle to pull her hand free. She pulled really hard but that didn't work. She went for her last resort. She lightly tapped Seiya. His eyes popped open as if he was never sleep. He looked at Usagi's hand tangled in her hair and couldn't help but laugh. She pouted at him.
"Seiya! Don't laugh it's not funny!" She whined. He laughed harder.
"Help me please?" She begged. He stopped laughing and helped her untangled her hand. She could feel his warm hand on hers and she quickly leaned in and kissed him. He had no problems returning the kiss. Once her hand was free he held her hand in his. He gently stroked the top of her hand until he felt something hard. He pulled back and he looked at Usagi confused.
"What?" She asked. He looked down at her hand and gasped.
"Whoa!" He said surprised. She looked down at her hand and seen the pink diamond ring that she saw when she got her memories back. Usagi stared at her hand mouth open wide. Seiya held up her hand In front of their faces.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." She said breathlessly.
"I know. I have good taste." He said cockily. Usagi rolled her eyes.
"No you don't. The Queens did." She said smiling.
"Well I was the one who proposed to you, so I have good taste." Seiya said sticking out his tongue. Usagi looked at him and laughed.
"Does this mean that this is my ring?" Usagi asked him.
"I guess." He replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Does this also mean, I'm engaged to you?" She asked. Seiya looked at her and his face became serious.
"I would love for you to be my future wife." Seiya said seriously, looking Usagi in her eyes. She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I wouldn't dream of marrying anyone else." She whispered in his ear. Seiya laid his head on her shoulder and smiled to himself. He had to be one of the luckiest guys in the world to have Usagi in his life.
"I can't wait to tell everyone else!" Usagi said happily. She pulled herself from Seiya and bolted out of the bed and ran to her dresser.
"What time is it?" Seiya asked. Usagi looked at her clock.
"It's ten in the morning." She said.
"Ok." Seiya said. Then he realized what time Usagi said it was.
"OH CRAP I'M GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" Seiya said as he jumped out the bed and frantically ran around looking for clothes. He found his pants and shirt.
"In trouble for what?" Usagi asked curiously while rummaging through her dresser. She picked out a dark blue halter top and a denim mini skirt.
"We have a concert tonight and we are rehearsing today at ten thirty." Seiya said while jumping in his pants and looking for his shoes.
"And when were you going to invite me?" Usagi asked pouting. She hated to miss one of his first concerts since being back on Earth. Seiya stopped what he was doing and went over to Usagi and kissed her forehead.
"You and the girls have tickets waiting for you when you get there. Concert starts at eight so don't be late. Matter of fact I'll get a limo to pick you guys up at seven." He said with a smile. She looked up at Seiya and smiled at him.
"Thanks." Usagi said sweetly.
"Anything for my Sere." Seiya said with a wink. He looked at Usagi's clock and seen had to get going soon.
"I have to go." He said suddenly sad.
"I know, I don't want you to go either but you have to. Sing me a special song tonight?" She asked. He nodded his head. She stood on the tip of toes and kiss him.
"See you at the concert. I love you." Usagi said.
"I love you too. Ja ne!" Seiya said as he walked out of her room and out the apartment. Usagi sighed to herself. She had to wait until eight tonight to see her fiance but she would have time to go shopping with friends. She grabbed her phone. 'Meet at Crown in 30 mins.' She sent the text to Minako, Makoto, Ami and Rei. Usagi ran to her bathroom and started to get dressed.
CROWN:
Usagi walked down the street passing multiple buildings. It was sunny outside and there was a gentle breeze, hardly any clouds were in the sky. She walked with a smile on her face, she thought about last night and her memories. She was happy to know that she knew Seiya in her past life and they were engaged, however she didn't understand why they were reborn again. 'I guess I'll ask Pluto when I get a chance.' She thought. She hadn't realized that she arrived at Crown so soon. The doors slid open and she was greeted by Motoki.
"Konichiwa Usagi-chan!" Motoki said cheerfully. Usagi smiled at him.
"Konichiwa Motoki-chan." Usagi replied happily.
"There girls are in the back at the usual table." He said as he pointed to the girls' table.
"Thanks!" She said with a smile. She walked towards the booth. She could hear the girls aimlessly talking about something. She was excited to tell her friends of her news.
"Minna!" Usagi shouted and waved as she approached the table. The girls smiled and waved back.
"Why did you want us to meet you here?" Makoto asked first. Usagi began grinning from ear to ear. Minako scooted over in the booth so Usagi could sit down. Usagi put her hand on her chin and sighed while she grinned. Ami was the first to spot the pink diamond ring.
"OH MY GOSH? IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?" Ami asked anxiously. Usagi nodded her head now grinning even harder.
"Ami-chan, what are you talking about?" Rei asked. Ami couldn't believe the girls were being so blind at this moment.
"Do you not see that huge ring on her finger?" Ami practically yelled. The girls focused their attention on Usagi's hand and gasped.
"He proposed?" Rei questioned eagerly. Once again Usagi nodded her head grinning.
"OH GOSH USA! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I want details! When and where?" Minako said excitedly.
"Thanks Minako-chan. When? Um, a thousand years ago. Where? On my balcony in my room on the Moon. It happened during the Silver Millennium." Usagi said with a smile.
"Whoa! Slow down, during the Silver Millennium?" Makoto asked trying to comprehend everything.
"Hai. Apparently Seiya and I have a past life together." Usagi responded.
"You too?" Ami and Minako said at the same time. They looked at each other anxiously.
"What do you mean past life? And what do you guys mean you too? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" Rei demanded. Ami and Minako looked at each other. They weren't really sure how to explain that they had their true memories restored to them or how they came back. Usagi, however, had no problem explaining what happened to her.
"Ok, so Seiya planned this special night for me. He drew me a bath and it had candles lit everywhere and rose petals scattered everywhere,it was so cute. Then when I got out the tub there was this white night gown he bought for me. It was so pretty! And then we walked out on my private balcony and he had strawberries in shape of a heart on a tray and more candles. It was too perfect last night. So I was thanking him and for some reason he asked when was the last time I've been to the Moon Kingdom and I told him then he said let's go, so we did. Then we were met by a red and white light which turned out to be Seiya's past self and Serenity. They brought us to my old bedroom and that's where we received our memories. Seiya's really a Prince of Kinmoku and our mothers were friends. They picked out this ring for us. If two people are meant to be their aura colors mix in the ring and that color their love creates becomes the permanent color of the ring. See! Seiya and I make pink because of his red and my white! (AN: I totally forgot that Red and White make Pink the whole time I was writing this...it just occurred to me that it does. -_-; ) Then I woke up this morning and the ring was still on my finger afterwards. So we are still engaged. I don't know why we didn't get married back then, I have to ask Pluto about it but we plan to do it this time. And he'll become King of the Neo Moon Kingdom." Usagi said happily. The girls sat there taking in everything that Usagi said, it confused Minako a bit since the Starlights were so close in this life time but Yaten was a Venusian knight and Seiya was a Prince of Kinmoku.
"I don't get it Usa. In Yaten and I's past life, he was a royal knight of Venus. What was Taiki in your past life Ami-chan?" Minako asked hoping to get some answers.
"I'm not exactly sure. All I know that he was a suitor that I chose." Ami responded.
"And you guys got to be together?" Minako said quietly.
"Yes, we did." Ami said now blushing.
"Ami-chan, why are you blushing? What exactly happened in the memory you got back?" Usagi asked playfully. Ami blushed harder. She wasn't to sure she should answer this question.
"Um, we did it." Ami whispered. Everyone's mouth dropped open. They couldn't believe that innocent Ami would do such a thing.
"You guys...you know?" Rei whispered, not wanting to embarrass Ami. Ami nodded her head. Rei began to smile. She couldn't wait til her and Yurrchiro were married so they could do it.
"Was he your first?" Makoto asked. Ami nodded her head again.
"Aww! That's so sweet. Motoki was my first-" Makoto started.
"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" Rei and Usagi yelled together. Other customers in Crown turned in their direction. Makoto blushed and began shooing them away and laughing nervously.
"Doesn't matter, so Minako anything interesting happen in your memory like Ami's?" Makoto said changing the subject. Minako looked away sadden by the memory her and Yaten received. Why couldn't they have gotten a happy or romantic memory like Usagi and Ami? It just didn't seem fair to her.
"Interesting? Yea. Very." Minako replied sadly. Usagi noted the sad tone in her voice.
"What happened Mina?" Usagi asked concerned. Minako kept replaying Yaten's death over and over in her head. Tears began to silently fall down her face. Usagi reached over and wiped them away.
"It's ok you can tell us." Usagi said reassuringly.
"Yaten and I were together." Minako said.
"Then why are you sad? That's a good thing right?" Rei asked. Minako shook her head.
"Not if your mother thinks he seduced you and made him into a criminal just because you fell in love with him, even after you explain to her that both of you love each other. Then ordered to have him killed the next morning. But then you try to get him out to run away to the Moon Kingdom because you know that Queen Serenity is very understanding when it comes to love, however you get caught and he gets killed in front of you." Minako finished.
"She killed him because he loved you?" Ami asked.
"Yes, because a Princess and a royal knight can't be together." Minako added. No one said a word after her last sentence. They couldn't begin to understand how Minako felt, for her mother to reject their love because they were socially different and then to have him killed in front of her must have been horrible.
"Well, don't worry anymore, you have him now. Cherish the love you guys have now and will build later on in the future." Usagi said wisely. Minako wiped her eyes and smiled.
"Thanks Usa." Minako said as she hugged her best friend.
"Now we have some shopping to do! We were invited to the Three Lights concert tonight and the limo will pick us up at seven. I have to look extra special, Seiya's going to sing me a special song!" Usagi said excitedly.
"Yaten told me the same thing." Minako added.
"So did Taiki." Ami chimed in. The girls grinned from ear to ear and started planning out what they were going to wear and do with their hair.
KINMOKU:
Kakyuu paced her bedroom waiting for her sister. Ever since Kaiya gave Kakyuu that little push, she had been wanting to get rid of the Moon Princess as soon as possible. She didn't want Serenity to be anywhere near her Fighter. She didn't want to think about them being together, it hurt to much. Kakyuu sighed in frustration. She plopped down on her bed and laid back. She stared up the ceiling, she began to wonder what Fighter was doing right now. Kakyuu closed her eyes and began to imagine what it would be like when she killed Usagi and got Fighter back. She could see Usagi begging for help but no one coming to her aid and Fighter would come running back to her and they would live happily ever after. Kakyuu's frustration left her mind and she smiled to herself. Suddenly she felt someone's presence besides hers in the room. She opened her eyes to be greeted with dark ruby eyes. Kakyuu smiled at her sister and sat up.
"So can we go kill her now?" Kakyuu asked impatiently. Kaiya looked at her sister and laughed.
"Of course not!" Kaiya exclaimed.
"Why not?" Kakyuu asked frustrated again.
"We need more information on their current situation! If we just go barging in there, trying to kill her we'll die before we can even lay a hand on her. We gotta figure out how to get to her without her senshi getting to us first. The only thing that we have going for us is Pluto at this moment." Kaiya stated. Kakyuu rolled her eyes, she was tired of hearing her sister's excuses as to why she couldn't kill Serenity. It was her idea in the first place. Something occurred to Kakyuu that she didn't realize before.
"Actually we have something else." Kakyuu said with a smile. Kaiya's ears perked up to what her sister had to say.
"And that is?" Kaiya asked.
"I'm not a threat to them, they know who I am. They'll never see this coming." Kakyuu said with a smile. Kaiya couldn't believe she forgot about the scouts knowing who Kakyuu is. They would never suspect her as a threat to Serenity, Kakyuu and Kaiya could pull off their plan and possibly never get caught.
"Well, since I know this information, maybe we can carry out this plan sooner than I thought." Kaiya said to her sister.
"How soon are we talking?" Kakyuu asked eagerly. Kaiya smiled devilishly at her sister.
"How about now?" Kaiya asked.
"Perfect!" Kakyuu exclaimed happily.
"We'll leave for earth shortly." Kaiya said. She could see how happy she was now that her dream was finally coming true. Kaiya couldn't wait for her sister to get everything she deserved. Kakyuu laid back down on her bed and sighed happily. 'I'm going to get the woman I love back, and no one is going to stop me.' Kakyuu thought as she relaxed before she left to carry out her plan.
THREE LIGHTS CONCERT:
Seiya was practicing the song him and the guys wrote for Ami, Minako and Usagi on his keyboard. Ever since he got his memories back, he felt light, like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He couldn't believe that him and Usagi had a past together, all those times she cried over her boyfriend being gone and being lonely, Seiya had been there for her. Even when offered himself to her and she rejected him, he was still there for her. When they were leaving to return to Kinmoku and he told Mamoru to take care of her, he was telling someone he barely knew to take care of his girl. Seiya couldn't believe that he trusted that Mamoru would take care of Usagi and treat her like she's suppose to be treated, but instead he cheated on her and broke her heart, Seiya vowed that he would never turn his back on Usagi ever, he didn't care who or what came between them, he would never leave her vulnerable. Taiki and Yaten entered their shared dressing room and saw Seiya practicing on his keyboard.
"Nervous?" Taiki asked. Seiya looked up at Taiki and smiled.
"Nope, I just hope the girls liked the song we wrote." Seiya said still smiling.
"I have a feeling they will." Yaten said reassuringly. There was something different about Taiki and Yaten, but Seiya couldn't figure out what exactly what it was. He pushed that feeling to the back of his mind, he decided to share his good news with his closest friends.
"So um, guys, I have something I've been dying to say since we met up this morning." Seiya said grinning. Taiki and Yaten at each other curiously then looked at Seiya.
"What is it?" Taiki asked.
"UM, well, Seren- I mean Usagi and I are engaged, we're getting married." Seiya said even more happy now that he told someone. Taiki's eyes looked like there were going to pop of their sockets and Yaten stood there with his mouth wide open.
"W-what? When!" Yaten stuttered out. He knew Seiya was in love with Usagi, but not enough to marry her so suddenly, and the fact that she agreed was even more strange.
"Um, well you see it's hard to explain the "When"- Seiya began.
"Because?" Taiki said interrupting Seiya.
"I asked her to marry me...a thousand...years ago." Seiya said shyly. Now the guys were even more confused.
"Ok, I'm confuse, please explain." Yaten said highly confused. Seiya let out a nervous chuckle.
"Well, you see Usagi and I have a past together...We were engaged...during the Silver Millennium. She was, and still is, the heir to the Moon Kingdom. I wasn't a Star Light, I was a Prince of Kinmoku. We met when her and her mother visited Queen Keiko, who is or was, Kakyuu's mother. After that we fell in love, we kept in contact and when she had to choose a suitor, she choose me." Seiya finished. Taiki and Yaten stood there shocked by this information.
"So, you guys are destined to be together?" Taiki asked. Seiya smiled and nodded his head.
"Wow! This had a better ending than Minako and I." Yaten said surprised.
"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Seiya now curious.
"Well you and Usagi-chan aren't the only ones with a past." Yaten stated.
"You too? I thought it was just Ami and I." Taiki asked non-believing. Seiya looked at Yaten and Taiki suspiciously.
"Yaten you go first, what happened between you and Minako." Taiki said.
"Well, we were in love, I was a Royal Knight of Venus and she was the Princess of course. We went to her mother so she could approve our love but she didn't. Instead she called me a criminal for "seducing" Minako into loving me, which I didn't we were and still are in love, so she sentenced me to be executed the next morning. Minako came up with this plan to get me out and to go visit Queen Serenity, since she's so understanding when it comes to love, but instead it backfired. The Queen caught us and ordered the guards to kill me. I was too busy worrying about Minako, I ended up getting stabbed and I died in front of her. According to her mother a Knight and a Princess can't be together." Yaten said sadly. Seiya couldn't believe that Minako and Yaten had such a hard past, but he was glad that they found each other again.
"I'm sorry to hear that, Ami and I didn't have to go through anything compared to that." Taiki said feeling guilty him and Ami actually had a chance to be together.
"It's ok, but what happened between you and Ami, how did your memory go?" Yaten asked, feeling Taiki's guilt. Taiki blushed, which didn't go unnoticed by Seiya and Yaten.
"Oh man! You gotta tell us what happened!" Seiya exclaimed. Taiki shook his head.
"Come on! It's not like you guys had sex or something." Yaten chimed in. Taiki's face became beet red and the guys mouth's dropped.
"You...and Ami...did-" Seiya started.
"It?" Yaten finished. Taiki slightly nodded his head. Next thing Taiki knew, they were bombarding him with questions.
"How was it?" Seiya asked.
"Was it your first time?" Yaten questioned.
"Why am I just now finding out about this?" Seiya asked pretending to be offended.
"Are you sure it was YOU and Ami and not some other guy?" Yaten asked unsure about this new information.
"Guys!" Taiki said with little confidence. They stopped asking questions.
"Yes Yaten it was me, yes Seiya it was our first time, and it's none of your business on how it was, and I didn't tell you because it's not like I want to go around letting everyone know that Ami and I shared a special intimate moment. What happened between us is between us, ok?" Taiki said with a hint of frustration. Seiya and Yaten looked at each other and nodded their head and agreed.
"It wasn't that good." Yaten and Seiya said in unison. Taiki rolled his eyes, irritated by his two band-mates' actions.
"Don't we have a show to do?" Taiki asked changing the subject. Seiya and Yaten laughed at him.
"Yea we do, sorry man I was just kidding I'm sure you...pleased Ami." Seiya said in an awkward tone.
"Yea, what he said. Let's go do this concert!I'm ready to sing for my Princess." Yaten said happily.
"I wonder how Kakyuu-hime is doing." Seiya said. Ever since they had come to Earth it's like they forgot about Kakyuu and was focused on winning the hearts of the women they loved.
"I'm sure she's fine, if there was trouble should would have sent us some sort of message." Taiki said reassuringly. Seiya nodded and they got up and walked out of their dressing room. They could hear the crowd chanting their name, and it always gave Seiya a natural high when he was on stage performing. Seiya was the first one to walk out on stage and the crowd went wild. Seiya focused his attention on the first row and he could Usagi and the girls sitting there grinning from ear to ear. Usagi blew him a kiss and he pretended to catch it and he winked at her. He could see she was still wearing the pink engagement ring and it made it happy to see her wear something that represented their love. Yaten followed Seiya on stage and his eyes immediately shot to the front row and he seen Minako staring back at him, he waved to her. She smiled and mouthed I love you to Yaten and he did the same to her. Taiki was the last one to arrive on stage and he did exactly like Seiya and Yaten and looked at the front row. Ami was blushing as she stared at Taiki, he put the microphone to his mouth and said something she thought she would never hear at one of his concerts.
"I love you Mizuno Ami." Taiki said sweetly. Ami's blush deepened and all she could do was smile. The crowd began to Aww in unison as Taiki said it.
"We would like our fans for supporting us by coming out to comeback concert. Thanks guys!" Seiya said. The crowd cheered happily as the concert began. Music started to play and Nagareboshi He filled the stadium. Once the song ended, Todokanu Omoi could be heard. The girls have never heard the sing with such happiness, they guessed it was because they weren't singing to find their Princess. After the sing ended they performed a few more songs they had written together. Their final song was ready to be sung and the guys were excited and anxious.
"This is the final song of the night,-" Seiya started. The crowd began to moan and groan because soon they would have to go home.
"This song is special because we wrote it for three special ladies in our life-" Seiya began again.
"MARRY ME SEIYA!" A fan shouted. Seiya chuckled.
"Sorry ladies, I'm already taken." He responded to the fans. Girls began to cry and groan at the fact Seiya was taken by some unsuspecting girl.
"But, this song is for you, you know who you are." Seiya finished as he looked in Usagi's direction. Yaten and Taiki looked that way and smiled at the woman they loved. A slow melody began to play and Seiya began to sing with his heart.
(Seiya)
Ooooh
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
(Seiya, Taiki and Yaten)
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
(Taiki)
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)(S/Y)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
(Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten)
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)(T)
Each loving day (each loving day)(T)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)(T)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..(T)
This I promise you..(T)
(Yaten)
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)(S/T)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
(Seiya, Taiki,and Yaten)
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)(S)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)(T)
(S)Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)(Y)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)(S)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
(Seiya)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...
The song came to an end. The guys bowed and walked off stage. Usagi and the girls got up to go back stage. Seiya flopped down in a chair in their dressing room, he was tired from singing and dancing. Now he just wanted to go to sleep with his angel in his arms.
"I am so tired right now!" Yaten exclaimed.
"Me too, I just want to go home and go to sleep." Taiki added. There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in." They yelled in unison. The door opened to reveal the girls. Usagi wasted no time and ran and jumped in Seiya's arms. Ami shyly walked over to Taiki and kissed his cheek. Minako walked up to Yaten and hugged him.
"We enjoyed the song you wrote for us." Ami said to Taiki. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
"Yea, it was amazing, Usagi cried like a baby." Minako playfully added. Usagi turned to Minako and stuck her tongue out at her.
"So what, I thought it was a sweet song!" Usagi said defensively.
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it." Seiya said capturing her attention. She smiled at him and leaned in and kissed him gently. Seiya wrapped his arms around Usagi's waist and pulled her closer.
"Ew, get a room!" Yaten said jokingly.
"Well, get out then." Seiya said when he finally pulled away from Usagi. Yaten rolled his eyes at Seiya.
"Well Minako and I are leaving, I'm tired and I want to sleep." Yaten said as he grabbed Minako's hand and began to walk out the door.
"Bye guys!" She shouted on her way out.
"Yea, We are about to head out too." Rei and Makoto said following Yaten and Minako.
"Same here, I'm tired." Taiki said as he offered his arm to Ami and she gladly took it and waved good bye to them. After the room cleared out, Seiya finally noticed what Usagi was wearing. She had on a little black dress. It was strapless. It hugged her curves perfectly, it was tight in her chest area and flared at the waist. It stopped two inches above her knee. She wore black two inches heels, with straps that tied around the ankle. Her hair curled and pulled back into a bun with a few stray curls hanging from it. Seiya felt his breathe leave his body, she amazing as always.
"You look gorgeous!" He whispered seductively in her ear. She giggled and smiled.
"Thank you." She said sweetly. Seiya stared at the beauty before him, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Suddenly he felt a pain in his heart and he grabbed his chest.
"Seiya, what's wrong?" Usagi asked concerned. Seiya looked at her once more before his vision went black was replaced by an empty space and and mist.
"Hello?" He asked, wondering what was going on.
"Pay attention to the hints." A voice said. He knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place it.
"To what hints?" He asked the voice. Suddenly his surroundings became clear and he seen Usagi and himself standing together, and then he seen Kakyuu. 'What is going on' He questioned himself. His answer was given to him with the next event that happened.
Usagi looked at Seiya as she watched Kakyuu walk towards her with Seiya's sword in hand. Seiya looked up at Kakyuu just in time to see her thrust his sword into Usagi. He just stared at her as she fell to the ground when Kakyuu pulled the sword out. Usagi held her stomach as she frantically tried to stop the bleeding. Kakyuu walked over to Seiya. He looked at her and smiled. Seiya changed into Fighter. Fighter took the sword from Kakyuu's hands and dropped it on the ground. She wrapped Kakyuu in a gentle embrace. She looked into her Princess' eyes and leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. Kakyuu felt her body explode with crazy passion. She wanted one thing at this moment and time and that was to have her way with Fighter. They pulled away to catch their breathes. Kakyuu gazed into Fighter's ocean blue eyes.
"I love you." Fighter whispered to Kakyuu.
"I love you too." Kakyuu whispered back. They heard a squeal of agony and turned back to see Usagi crawling towards them. She finally reached Fighter's black boots.
"Fighter, help me." Usagi whispered in pain. Fighter looked down at the fallen Princess at her feet and laughed. Usagi looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"No." Fighter said as she kicked away Usagi's tiny hand. The event faded and everything was restored to normal.
"Seiya are you ok?" Usagi asked again concerned. Seiya looked at her and didn't know what to tell her.
"Um, yea, just a little bit of heartburn. You ready to go?" Seiya said nonchalantly. Usagi looked at him, still wondering what happened.
"Um, hai. Let's go." Usagi said reluctantly. They intertwined their fingers and walked out of the dressing room. 'What just happened?' Usagi and Seiya thought at the same time.
