Chapter 10- Seiya's Secret Released

"No!" Healer whispered while shaking his head. "You didn't really, did you?"

"Yes, I have given up my powers... forever." Seiya said in shame.

"How? When? This isn't happening, no, it's all just a bad dream." Healer slapped herself.

"I made a deal with Samonie, the demon terror." Seiya looked away. "I had to, I thought it would help me win Usagi heart, but I was wrong, oh so very wrong."

Tears began streaming down Healers face. "Seiya, you did this all for a girl you knew you couldn't ever have."

"Even though a part of me knew that she was in love with Mamoru, a part of me still had to give it a shot."

"I'm disappointed in you Seiya. The name that you should forever be called, you have brought dishonor to the Star Lights and maybe even the Sailor Senshi."

"I'm sorry. I made a mistake." Seiya tried to walk over to Healer, but she backed away.

"Don't come near me." Healer glared. "I'll find out if she's alive on my own."

She ran off into the streets. "Now even my own kind have abandoned me." Seiya watched wishing that he had never of chosen to surrender his powers. Demon or no demon it was still wrong of him to relieve himself of his Sailor Star Fighter form.

'Regret is a horrible feeling,' Seiya thought, 'What am I to do now? I guess I'm on my own from here on out.'

Seiya wondered aimlessly around the city when he saw Samonie wondering about. "Huh?" He walked closer to her, but remained out of sight.

"I can't figure it out." Samonie's voice sounded confused.

"What do you mean." Haruka's voice rang out.

Seiya looked out from the bushes. To his eyes he saw a scared Haruka and a Michiru with her Senshi Uniform covered in blonde. Their eyes showed no life in them whatsoever.

"What's going on here?" Seiya mumbled to himself.

"How that little pink hair brat got into my world; there's no way she has the Shi Orb inside her otherwise it would of responded to my staff." Samonie rubbed her slender fingers across her solid black staff.

Seiya began to ponder through his thoughts about where this 'Shi Orb' could be. Then it clicked in his head, 'the locket.' He thought this because when he first found this rare gym it was in the shape of an orb and seemed to be giving off a strange ora. Also, when he got around it, a strange sensation would coarse throughout his entire body. "I must find this it before they figure it out. That way maybe I can fix everything." Seiya whispered as he dashed off on a endless search for his lost locket.

When he arrived at the park, he saw Usagi standing on the bridge, staring to the lake. She looked up, "Seiya?"

Seiya walked over towards her. "Usagi, there's something I must let you know."

Usagi looked at him with such sadness in her eyes that it made Seiya want to almost cry. "What would that be?"

"I want to let you know," Seiya paused for a moment, thinking of wither it'd be better off not to tell him, but he shook his head and began to speak again. "I had given up my powers not long after I got here, in hopes that I could be with you. In hopes that you would return the love I gave to you. I wanted you to share your heart with me as I have you. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But I guess I always knew that that would never be, but I still dreamed of a me and you instead of a you and Mamoru."

"Seiya I do love you." Usagi looked away from him. "It's just not that simple. I love Mamoru, but that's not my only reason of why there can never be a me and you. If there's no Mamoru and I, then a very special person to me will never exist. I love this person way too much to let her go so easily. I don't want to go through life thinking of this is how my life could of been, instead of a life with out my little lady."

Seiya became confused. "I don't quite understand what you mean. But I guess you have your reasons. Even though I wish you would just go right out and tell me. It's okay though, right now I'm on a task to find a locket that I have lost long ago."

"A locket?" Usagi raised her head back up to face him. "What did it look like?"

"It was made of a substance that was almost un-real like. You could see yourself in it." The memories of him carving it out with his own hands flashed through his mind. "If I could just find it."

"I think this might be it." Usagi searched through her pockets.

Seiya began thinking about how warm it had been when he first arrived her. Now the climate has become cold and frigid. It was hard for him to believe that summer has already passed and winter had come. The first snowfall would arrive soon. He thought about how beautiful Usagi would looked running around in the soft white blankets that would soon cover the city of Tokyo. Usagi pulled out the locket, it then began to snow around them.

"Yes, this is it! Where did you find it?" Seiya couldn't help but wonder where she had gotten it.

"Chibi Usa came home with it one day. She said a maiden sitting on a bolder gave it to her. You know the same lady that she claimed to see long ago when she passed out on the swings. She's been supposedly seeing this woman a lot recently. She tells me story that she hears from her. One is a horrible story that I will never repeat. But I'll let you know that it involves a great warrior and a tragic ending."

"Oh, well thank you for the locket back." Seiya held it firmly in his hands.

"I tried to open it but couldn't figure out how." Usagi said to Seiya. "How do you open it?"

"Oh, it's simple, all you have to do is wave your hand over locket like you would do you broach to transform." Seiya showed her, but quickly shut it.

"Awww, that's so cute. By the way before I forget, it was very sweet of you to give up your powers just for me. But that wouldn't of changed anything. No matter who or what you are you will always Seiya to me. A sweet, kind, loving man that any girl would be proud to be in his arms."

"Then why not you and me. Your the only girl I want and will ever want. Yaten even knows my feelings now, only his is for Luna, as mine is for you." Seiya placed his hand on her shoulder. "Take me to be yours forever Usagi."

"I'm sorry Seiya, but I..." Usagi paused. "I can't, I've already told you before about why and everything, so I don't really know what else to say."

"Okay," Seiya became depressed but quickly cheered up, and he gave a thumbs up to her. "But trust me I won't give up, I will keep trying. Even if it kills me."

Usagi smiled. "Your so silly Seiya."

"Bye for now Usagi." He waved and vanished into the distance.

"Bye, Seiya." Usagi held her hand up to her chest. "Chibi Usa, my daughter, I won't let you fade away. My love for Mamoru will never fade, and I love Seiya but not in that way. If only he could understand everything. I wouldn't only be deceiving my heart, but I would also lose you forever."

The wind blew gently causing the snow blow towards Usagi's face. She decided to head home, to see her little Chibi Usa and wish her goodnight.

Hello again everybody, I would just like to say I hope you have enjoyed ready ready my story. I also hope that you will leave a review and tell me what you think about it. Till next time,

Chibi-Yaten
