There has been three days since Usagi didn't came to the courses at the University and that worried the three sailors that were going there too: Ami, Michiru and Haruka.
-Have you seen Usagi at the engineering class, Haruka-san? Ami was walking slowly along the beautiful couple.
-As a matter of fact, I didn't. Did you see her today in music class, Michi? Haruka responded absently.
-No. From what I understood, she is visiting Mamoru everyday and barely leaves his side, that's what Seiya-san told me. Poor boy... I can't imagine how it must be for him to watch her acting like that. Michiru removed a strand of hair, by flicking her head.
-If he loves her, he'll accept it. He was her husband, after all. the sandy blonde sharpened her tone.
-It's not that, Ruka. He told me he is worried about her, that he rarely sees her eating, and when she does eat, it's quite a small amount of food. I'm rather worried for our Queen too, to be honest.
-Really?... Haruka's mind was wandering again.
Meanwhile, in Usagi's house
-Honey, are you going to college today? Seiya asks as he watches his lover rushing through the kitchen, searching for the thermos.
-I... I don't know. I don't think so. she answers, not really paying attention to him.
-But it has been days since you last went and it would be good for you to go, it will take your mind off him. he raises up from his chair and holds her from the shoulders. And when was the last time when you actually eat something? You'll look like a skeleton any time soon.
-Thank you, Mitsuo-chan, for worrying about me. she stops from searching and smiles sincerly at him, then grabbs her purse and heads to the door.
-So, will you go? he yells for her but only to be responded to with a short 'no' answer.
Seiya sighed. It was more than a worry now but at least he passed over the jealousy moment. 'My little Odango, I wish I could know what's inside your head. This is not how I imagined the beggining of our relationship to be, but I will stay by your side no matter what. There's nothing more I could want from my life right now, since I have you and I will not let you slip through my fingers again, Usagi. Now that you are mine, now that you have feelings for me, nothing can break us apart. Nothing.' Seiya made up his mind. He would do whatever it would be necessary to take care of her and make their relationship work. Firstly, she needed something that would take her mind off Mamoru, so he arranged a romantic date, at a really expensive restaurant, followed by a walk to the planetarium, where they could watch the stars and planets in all their magnificence. 'That should do. Now, what else would do a girl's day?' he started walking through the kitchen, as if the oven or maybe the fridge will give him an answer. 'CLOTHES!' he raised his finger, like he just found the cure to cancer. 'But what do I know about girly clothes? Most of the time, I'm a man... I need someone to help me... someone that dresses elegant yet sexy at the same time, because Usagi ain't dressing that childish anymore. Someone like... Michiru-san, maybe? She did say she was worried about Usagi, didn't she?' Seiya did not wait any longer and dialed the aqua haired girl, telling her about his plans. Of course she was more than happy to help him out so they decided to meet in two hours at the Mall near-by.
Usagi went to the hospital again, to guard Mamoru. The results should be coming the next day and she was getting worried and worried, because beside the fact that she will find out the truth about Mamoru's sickness, he would also be waken up from coma by the doctors and she would have to talk to him. 'And what should I say to him? Should I accuse him for not coming to me? Should I show mercy? I don't know...'
Meanwhile, Haruka went out for a ride on her motorcycle, since she finished today's courses. Uranus was indeed, as fast as the wind and it would always follow her anywhere she would go, spreading her vibrant breeze scent. She was fast and strong, calm but strained, she would drive her motorcycle just as her racing car, steady and ready. Seeing her racing would make you think that not even the speed of light could catch her up, when she would ride she would be completely surrounded by her own thoughts. After a while, she stopped at the Mall, to take a break and drink some water, maybe who knows, buy something for Michiru, like a kinky lingerie or even a sweet perfume.
Soon enough, she walked into the mall and started climbing the stairs, as she knew some shops where Michiru loved to buy from. As she was looking through the windows of the shops, she saw something that not only infuriated her to the maximum point, but also made her not believe her eyes. It was Michiru and Seiya, both together in an elegant dresses shop.
She hid behind a pillar, so that she won't be seen, while she would think what should she do? 'I can't believe this man.' she thought. 'He took my kitten and now he wants to take my Michi too? That stupid bastard!' She saw Michiru trying a short, tight, red dress, showing it to Seiya and then both of them laughing. If anyone wouldn't know better, one could believe they are a regular couple, having fun on a Friday. 'And Michi... my Michi, what are you thinking? Cheating on me like that?' she smashed her fist onto the pillar, then saw Michiru whispering something in Seiya's ear. That view not only seemed really disturbing for Haruka, but the rage was growing bigger now. 'Farewell... I'll show you that I can play this game too. I'm getting back my kitten.'
As she was driving to the hospital, where she knew for sure she would find Usagi, her thoughts kept blasting inside her head. 'After all this time, Michi. After all our talks, about being loyal, despite the casual flirts with other people. After rejecting the whole idea of even thinking about Usagi. Of course, you couldn't know. I never told you, never told you what psychical pain I had to go through, so that nothing would interfere between us. And you...' She speeded up the motorcycle, flying with the wind.
Haruka didn't need much time to find the right door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw Usagi looking outside the mirror, with her back turned to the door, her arms crossed to the chest and Mamoru just sleeping as she saw him last time.
-Kitten? Haruka's voice was low, as if she was trying not to disturb Mamoru's 'sleep'.
Usagi turned her head, and the long wavy hair came rushing over her shoulder, slowly swinging from one hip to another. Her skin looked even paler, the redness that usually covered her cheeks in a beautiful way, seemed to be faded away, her eyes lost their colour, looking grey and shallow. Even her body was more fragile, she looked like she lost weight, a few important pounds actually.
-Hello, Ruka. she smiled absently and turned her eyes back at the window.
The wind senshi started approaching her, worried about her estate of appearance. She touched her should and her hips gently, holding them.
-What happened to you, Usako? she asked, her breath reaching the Queen's ear.
She turned again, now facing entirely her friend. Her eyes were empty, nothing could be seen or felt inside of them, like the light of her soul silenced into a deadly sleep, much like Mamoru's coma. She did not speak, nor made any move. Sailor Moon was just staring unrecognizebly in Uranus' eyes, as if she was trying to make her understand, without actually saying anything.
Now every angry thought that Haruka had before, dissapeared and was replaced with compassion and warmth. She spread her arms and welcomed the little girl in her loving embrace, her hands running through the hair that was once golden and rich, but that was now transformed into the most lifeless thing about her. Uranus gently caressed Usagi's head, that was now pressed against her chest, by her forehead. Her hair was still soft as silk but its shine was gone, as well with the volume. Haruka didn't know what was going on, but she just felt like it was the right thing to do at the moment. They embraced for half an hour, without saying a word, but finally, Haruka remembered why she was there for in the first place. Even though the rage was gone, she felt like Usagi needed her a lot.
-I came here to take you out, Usako. If you'll stay here any longer, I'm afraid you'll look even more as a corpse than our king over there.
The Queen smiled but her smile quickly faded away as she realized the truthiness in her friend's words.
-Come. I'll take you somewhere nice to eat. My treat.
Usagi simply nodded and grabbed her purse, but not without taking another glance at her ex-husband, then slowly she closed the door. They rode on the black motorcycle, Usagi holding Haruka tight from her leather costume, and soon they reached their destination. It was a small restaurant that Haruka knew well enough to tell that they serve great food, so she ordered some grilled pork and salad for her companion, and mushroom spaghetti for herself. 'My little kitten... I let that bastard took care of you and that's how he's giving you back to me? All crumpled and sad?' Remembering Seiya, made Haruka nervous again, but she won't let her feelings out now, not when Usagi needed her strong. She watched Usagi playing with her fingers, tapping them against the table, her eyes fixing a glass of water, that was brought by the waiter until the food will be ready.
-What? Usagi finally spoke, but her voice sounded even weaker than she looked like.
-What what?
-You were staring, Ruka. Usagi stated but her eyes were still on the glass.
-Was I? Haruka leaned over the table, trying to get the Queen's attention, and she succeeded.
-Yes, you were. Is it something wrong?
But before Haruka could answer, the food came and because of the maniac driving, she was more than hungry, so she started eating. With her mouth full, she saw Usagi that was not eating so she asked her:
-If thefe something in youf food? Eat!
-Oh, sorry. I got distracted. she answered and started quickly cutting the pork, then grabbed a piece with her fork. She brought the fork to her mouth but before she could bite, she asked: So, how are you guys? How's Michiru?
-She's fine... we're fine. Haruka swallowed a big piece of food, then ran her fingers through her sandy locks.
-Well I must say I've always admired you guys, you know, for staying together after all this time. Usagi cut another piece of pork, after she left the other one in the plate, then brought the freshly cut one to her mouth, but spoke again. Not many can brag about a relationship like yours. she started talking fast, while cutting some more pieces. You are both so mysterious and elegant, I've always wanted to be like you, guys.
Haruka was taken aback by her sudden talking appetite, and her sincere compliments.
-Why, thank you, kitten. I must say you surprised me with these words, and ideed you became too an elegant and mysterious woman. Even right now, you switch from mute to talkative, without letting me know what's going on inside your head. You seem like you never let anyone, recently, know what are you thinking about. Anyway, I will be here for you, if you ever need someone to talk to about your feelings or anything, you know that. she placed her hand over hers, giving her an assuring look.
Her skin was so pale and translucent, you could even see her blue veins on her hand.
-I think your phone is ringing. Usagi says as she throws her eyes over the phone on the table, that was vibrating intensly.
Haruka grabbs the phone and excuses herself for a few minutes, to go and respond to the call. She sees the name on the screen and a shiver runs through her spine.
-What a surpsise, Michi. Are you done with shopping already?
-Actually yeah, could you come and pick me up?
A dead silence installed. 'Is she actually admiting that she has been cheating on me with Seiya? Is she that cold hearted?' if only someone could see inside Haruka's mind could be seen, it would look like a vulcano.
-Is there something wrong? Michiru spoke with a thin voice. Seiya couldn't drive me because he needs to go home and prepare for the date with Usagi tonight. I helped him pick out a dress for her, he needed advice. It's so sweet of him, he said that he wanted to do something for her, that would help her out with this whole Mamoru situation. continued Michiru.
-Oh, is that so? Haruka's voice was trembling, as she slapped her own forehead, understand that everything she saw was just a misunderstanding. Michiru never cheated on her, nor lied. Now, she was the one feeling guilty. S-sure. I'll come pick you up in ten. 'I can't believe I almost yelled at her for something that didn't even happen.'
She closed the call and turned back to Usagi, who apparently was getting ready to leave too.
-I'm sorry, Ruka-chan. I must go home, Seiya gave me a message saying that something is urgent. Can you give me a ride? she raised and touched Haruka's hip, thing that sent a wave of warm inside her body. Please?
-Actually, I was going to leave too, Michiru just called me. Of course I will give you a ride, there's no way I would let you walk home alone. she said and brought the Queen closer to her, giving a kiss on her forehead. Get well, little bunny.
And so, Haruka payed for the meal, as she promised she would, and grabbed the jacket, while Usagi was waiting for her outside. She couldn't help but notice how ravaged Serenity's plate was looking, it was like she didn't eat anything, like she just distracted Haruka with talking while she was pretending to cut and eat the food. Nothing seemed like it has been eaten, only tossed through the plate. 'Does this girl even eats?' she asked herself then went outside, where she waiting for her.
They hopped on the bike and started driving to Usagi's home. Haruka could feel the Queen's breasts pressing on her back, her hands keeping her closer with tight embrace. Despite how much weight she lost, Serenity's breasts kept their size and shape, which awkardly made Uranus feel warmed up by. It was inappropriate but she just couldn't help it, she always considered Usagi a good looking woman, especially since the party. Sailor Moon's legs were also tied up by Haruka's, and her tights were doing not so inocent moves behind Uranus' ass, of course, not on purpose, but because of the bumpy ride they were having. 'What the fuck is wrong with me? Snap out of it, idiot!' Haruka said to herself.
-Thanks for driving me. Usagi gives Haruka a smile, while getting off the bike.
-Kitten. Haruka grabbs her hand, stopping her from leaving. Why aren't you eating?
-What do you mean? I am eating. Didn't you see me? the Queen's expression was as sincere and surprised as it could be.
Haruka wonders if maybe it wasn't just her mind playing tricks, because she was so worried about her. She decided to let it go, seeing in Usagi's eyes the truthiness of her words.
-You're right. I'm sorry... I... was just worried about you. Cya tomorrow? They are getting the results on Mamoru's sickness, right? she asked but immediately regretted her words, as she saw the Queen's face changing bitterly.
-Yeah. Be there by 10. she sighed and started walking towards her house. And Ruka?... in front of the door she turned her head to her friend. Thank you for... always taking care of me.
-Bye koneko-chan. Haruka waves and puts on her helmet, riding back to town to get Michiru.
Serenity searches the keys and when she finally finds them, she unlocks the door, she enters and removes her shoes.
-Mitsuo-chan? she calls for her lover. Mitsuo, are you there? she popped her head out the door of the kitchen, then she called him again. Seiya? Where are you? You said there was an emergency.
Remembering about the time when she found Mamoru unconscious on the floor, after not responding her, sent shivers through Usagi's spine. She rushed through every room, searching for her lover, as if the past was repeating again, and she would not let that happen. 'NO. It can not happen again. Not Seiya too. I'm sure he's fine, he's just not hearing me. Yeah. That's it.' She searched the bathroom, the living, the kitchen, the other bathroom, the backyard and at last she reached to the bedroom, hesitating before opening the door. 'Please don't be here.' Her mind was replaying the scene that happened not long ago and she bit her lip almost to blood, closing her eyes. She cracked the door slowly and there was dark, she entered and touched the walls, trying to find the light switch, with her hands shivering uncontrollably. At last, she found it and she opened it.
-Oh thank God! Usagi exhaled profoundly.
There was no sight of Seiya in the bedroom, everything was on its place, except for something that brought attention to her, something on the bed. It was a shopping bag that had written on, the name of a famous fashion designer, actually on a second look, she saw two of them. One was big and black and the other one was smaller and red, but with the same inscription on. She approached the bed and beside them, she also found a letter that was addressed to her, with Seiya handwriting on it. She opened the letter and read it out loud.
'My beautiful Yuzuki princess,
I know these days I might not have been as supportive as I should have, with this whole situation. But I did pay attention to how damaged you are, and I just couldn't bare it anymore.
Remember when you finally told me that you have feelings for me? The day after the night club. We walked along the quiet park, you took my hand and danced with me at the sound of the wind, and when you left you kissed my lips and you told me you'd never ever forget these images. That day you made me the most happiest man alive. I would never want to see you sad, my darling, I want to make you as happy as you made me that day.
So that's why I decided to do this for you, today. Today, I want to make you the happiest woman alive.
I hope I'll succeed into it.
P.S. Wear this and be ready by 8pm, I sent a limousine to pick you up.'
She touched the words, written with a sharp black inked stylo embossed in the paper, smiling widely.
Not only the letter made Serenity completely forget about her sorrowness but it also made her dance like a child through the room. When she finally finished the 'happy dance', she threw herself on the bed and started looking inside the two bags. First, she opened the bigger one, where she found a stunning dark purple dress, skin tight, with transparent lacy sleeves and a low V-cut cleavage. The material that was made of was soft and velvety, a trademark of the fashion designer that created the dress. The second bag, the smaller one, had inside a box of shoes. 'This man... I swear.' The shoes were sparkly golden high heel sandals, with thin straps that would reveal the foot in a sensual embrace.
As the letter said, she dressed into what Seiya prepared for her, she curled her hair and put it up in a loop, leaving some strands fall on her shoulders. She blushed her cheeks, poudered her nose, lined her eyes with a black eyeliner and sprayed some perfume in the air, then entered the little cloud of scent, so that if Seiya decides to kiss her neck, she won't be bitter, but she would still smell like a rose.
The time went fast, and soon it was 7:58 pm. The limousine arrived a little bit earlier so Usagi ran down the stairs, holding her shoes in one hand and her purse into the other, then stopped by the door to put them on. She was welcomed into the limousine by a tall man, that was also the driver, and soon they left the parking lot. The car was black, screaming with elegance, the inside was of course spacious, with a mini bar that had a bottle of MOET champagne meant for her only. The town lights were guardening the starry night, the sky was clear, the wind was blowing gently and the moon was covering everything in her silver light. She didn't know where she was heading yet, but she was about to find out soon.
She finally reached her destination, and when she got down from the limousine, she found herself in front of the most expensive french restaurant in town, La vie est belle. In front of the restaurant, there was Seiya, waiting for her, with a big bouqet of red roses, around thirtieth with a white one in the middle. He was wearing a black suit, with a thin purple tie and a white shirt. The view was just too beautiful to be true, but it was. Usagi blushed profoundly as she watched Seiya approaching her and gave her the bouqet.
-This is for you, my gorgeus rose. he said and kissed her long, bringing Usagi closer to him using his left arm.
They entered the restaurant and they were welcomed by a waiter that guided them to their table. Every detail in the restaurant was amazing: the ceiling was high, sustained by thick pillars that were decorated with climbing roses, the golden curtains were heavy and embroidered with complicated designs, the paintings on the walls were reasembling scenes from France and the tables and chairs were made out of white wood, with painted backseats. From the ceiling, there were hanged crystal chandeliers, bringing light and elegance to the room.
-This place is wonderful, Seiya. And this dress, and the shoes, and the bouqet. I can't believe you did this for me. Usagi managed to say something after two minutes of just staring.
-Everything for my moon princess. He took her hand and kissed it softly, while not taking his eyes off her.
They ordered escargots and other specialities from the Menu, along with another bottle of MOET. They laughed all night, they talked about their feelings and every dark emotion inside Usagi dissapeared, leaving room for the loving energy she was getting from her lover.
Yes, they did ordered food, but Usagi did the same thing as she did with Haruka the same day: avoiding actually eating and talking more so that she could distract him. There was one time only, when she had to take a bite, because Seiya wanted to see her reaction about that certain type of food, therefore she had to eat so that he won't be suspicious. It wasn't that she was purposely lying to him, she just didn't want him to be hurt. She swallowed it hardly, then excused herself to the bathroom. The following thing that she did was not only brutal but also common for her, as she did it many times that week. She entered one restroom, kneeled down next to the closet, pushed two fingers down her throat and puked that little bite she had from the food. It seemed like she couldn't find a place for food inside of her anymore.
After she was done, she went and washed her hands, looking at herself in the mirror. She knew it was disgusting, unhealthy, she knew she was losing weight too fast and that it was slowly killing her. But she couldn't stop. No one even knew how bad was her situation. She was all alone in this, and she needed help as soon as possible.
As she drying off her hands, she heard her phone vibrating in her purse. It was a message. She took the phone and unlocked the screen.
'You have 1 new message.
From: Unknown
EAT'
Her phone almost fell off her hands, where could that message come from? She looked around, but of course, no one was there, and even if there was, why would he send that message to her? And how did he get her number? Was it someone she knew? But how did that person even knew she wasn't eating? Or did he really knew? Maybe it was just the wrong number, she never told anyone nor let anyone know about her situation. She starred at the message for a while, until she heard a knock on the door. It was Seiya, he came to check up on her, because it was taking too long.
-I'm coming! she said, deleting the text and shoving the phone back in her purse.
After the incident, she pretended like nothing happened and continued enjoying the night with him. There was a funny moment when Seiya thought that his lobster started moving and he instantly jumped back, falling off his chair, making the Queen laugh with pure tears of joy. Not the same we can say about the waiters who would've almost kick him out if he wouldn't have payed so much for that night. He admired every little thing about the woman in front of him, her long hair, her inocent face, her porcelain skin, her big and deep eyes, her full lips and her seductive curves. She was so genuinely flawless even on the inside. The little people that got to know Usagi better, and they were her friends, knew what a strong and kind soul lied within her, and what a unic personality she formed throughout the years. She was the perfect woman to rule the moon and the Earth. The perfect Queen.
-I have one more thing for you. he suddenly intrerupted their insignificant conversation about sushi.
-Seiya, this is too much. You already gave me a lot of expensive stuff, including this meal. she tried to tell him, but he just kept searching for something in his pocket. Oh my goodness! she exclaimed, when he finally found what he was looking for and it was a jewelry box that when opened, had inside a necklace made out of gold with the letter S and a little pearl also hanged as a pendant.
He lifted it in the air and told her to hold her hair up so that he could put it on her neck. She obeyed, partially mumbling about how he should not spend so much money on her, partially admiring the beautiful piece he put around her neck.
-I wanted something that would remind you of me, that you will wear all the time, as I hope you will keep me in you heart forever.
-It's stunning, darling. But please tell me this everything for tonight. I will feel so guilty if you bring any other expensive things.
-I promise this is everything. he laughed.
When the clock ticked the middle of the night, he decided it was about time to show her the planetarium, from where he got the key so that he could be alone with her at night. He had to pay a big amount of money there too but he would do anything for her and money weren't even that big of a problem for him anyway. The limousine picked them up and drove them to the enormous building at the end of the city. Usagi was blind folded the whole time, until they reached the roof, where they could watch the stars through the telescope. When he revealed the location to her, she was again amazed and she needed a few minutes to admire the view.
He showed her every big star, every planet and finally he showed her the moon.
-You see? That's where your beauty comes from. he was holding her in his arms, keeping her warm.
-This is so ravashing. Look how it glows. she did not took her eye off the telescope,
-It glows just as your skin does. You're as beautiful as the moon. Even more. he said and kissed her on the forehead, then she turned her face, kissing him back sweetly but on the lips.
She turned her eyes back and looked through the telescope, just in time to see a shooting star passing right before the moon.
-Did you see that? A shooting star! Make a wish.
A short, quite moment established and finally Seiya spoke:
-What did you wish for?
-Nothing. I have everything that I need, right here. she said and burried her head in his chest.
Seiya took both of Usagi's hands inside his and talked:
-Yuzuki-chan. As I said in that letter, I hope this night I made you feel like the happiest woman on Earth. he looked her deep in the eyes.
-You did, Mitsuo-chan. You made me so happy, I can't even tell you.
-But there is something that I wanted... needed to tell you... ever since that morning, after we slept together for the first time.
Usagi's look was intensifying, listening carefully to every word of Seiya's.
-I knew we were meant to be, ever since I saw you for the first time, in the airport. I knew we would be together at some point and that every thing I did after I met you, was not in vain. I just had to have you mine and as a matter of fact, I did succeed. they both giggled. But there is something that I have never told you, not even until now, and that maybe would have changed everything if I would've told you at the right time. But now, it doesn't matter, because you're here with me.
Seiya caressed her face with the thumb of his left hand, holding her chin in his palm.
-You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, the kindest, the purest. I thought about you every damn day after I left, I've always hoped I will see you again and there you are. You are in front of me, sharing the same feelings and I just couldn't be any happier. he inhaled a lot of air. I've never told this to anyone before, so you can say I am a virgin at this too.
They giggled again and he blushed terribly.
-Usagi-chan, I love you.
The Queen's eyes widened at the sound of those words. She haven't heard them in quite a while and the fact that they were spoken again to her, brought a faster rythm to her beating heart. A little tear gathered in the corner of her eye, struggling not to fall. The warmth of that little phrase was the thing that she needed the most. Not expensive dresses, shoes or roses. Not expensive champagne, limousines or meals, none of that but love. She needed LOVE.
-I love you too, Seiya. she let the words slowly exit her mouth, under a hot steam of breath.
Now it was Seiya's turn to be surprised. Not that he didn't knew she shared the same feelings, but to hear her actually say them, right after he said them, was the cherry on top of the cake. He embraced her with all his masculine strength, feeling her hair tingling his ear, her scent covering him too. Then he backed up from the embrace and pressed his lips on her fragile ones, breaking any bond that has ever been established between the princess of the moon and the guardian of the stars.
A couple more hours passed by and the clock showed up the 4am hour. It was time for them to go home. Later on it was the big time, they would finally find out the medical results and the medics would wake Mamoru up. So they got home, curled into bed and embraced to sleep, but not before Usagi could tell Seiya something.
-I don't want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don't want dresses, gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want... a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved. I want you.
-Then sleep. You have me already. and it that, he brought her even closer and kissed her goodnight.
-Oh, and Seiya?
-Mhm?
-I love you.
-I love you too.
Same hour, in Haruka and Michiru's appartment
She would think that nights of her waking up from wet dreaming would pass, but apparently they didn't. She found herself again, sweating beside her sleeping lover, the sea godess, Michiru. Haruka looked at her, feeling guilty, though it wasn't like she could control her dreams. Her mind had a mind of her own, so to say. She could not understand, why she was having those dreams. She loved Michiru from all her heart, she was taleneted, graceful, elegant, beautiful and kind. 'But so is Usagi. ARGH. NO.' she lifted from the bed, trying not to wake Neptune up and went to take a cold shower, as she usually does when this happens.
She couldn't even remember what the dream was like, not even if it was a fantasy, but according to her wet panties, it was. She removed her panties and her grey t-shirt and jumped into shower. With the door to the bathroom open, she could see the fireplace from their room, still burning slowly, glowing in silver shades from the light that was submerging it.
'Oh great Fūjin, you know I am a righteous woman and of my loyalty I am justly proud. Then tell me, oh, wise god: why I see her dancing there? Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul?' In the flames of the firplace, Haruka could see the temptation of the Queen, as a nymph born from lust. 'I feel her, I see her. The sun caught in her golden hair is blazing in me out of all control, like fire, Hellfire... This fire in my skin... This burning desire is turning me to sin.' She could see her seductive moves, her imagination was torturing her. 'It's not my fault, I'm not to blame. Gods made the devils so much stronger than the man.' After years and years of dreams, it seemed like they finally got back on her, and now the only thing she could do to resist her, was to pray to Gods. 'Protect me, Fūjin, don't let this siren cast her spell, don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone. Let my temptation taste the fires of hell.' She was still decided to fight the urge of infidelity, but no one said it was going to be an easy road. 'Or else let her be mine and mine alone.'

Author Notes: Okay soooooo... I don't even know what to say about this chapter. It was both intriguing and hard to write it. I wanted to include so many things, like the final part with Haruka, lusting for Usagi and THANK GOD I finally managed to. It is personally my favourite part. Ok so next chapter is about Mamoru's sickness and it will reveal the plot of this whole story, and as I am thinking now, it should take two chapters because there are too many things that I can't shove into one only. I guess we'll see. Don't forget to review and tell me your thoughts, especially about Usagi not eating. I'll cya next chapter! :D
Now it's time for REVIEWS!
*Please enter a name from now on when you write a review, it would be so much easier for me to respond to them. Thanks!
Guest1: I know the last chapter was boring, it was more like a filling so that it would make sense to what it was going to happen. I trully hope this one was up to your expectations and I'm looking forward to your appreciation. Yes, I know it's hard for Seiya to keep up with Usagi's actions but he's such a sweet guy and he will stay by her side anyway.
Guest2: Yeah, he realizes too that he shouldn't be jealous, but jealousy is not something you can control all the time, am I right?
0-0: I am glad you found my review helpful, as I said earlier, Seiya is such a sweet guy exactly because he is patient and everything. Thanks for encouraging me, reader-san! :D
Guest3: No, he is not going to die, nor be with Pluto. Sorry to disapoint. :[
I guess that would be it, I hope you are pleased about this chapter and again, thank you so much for reviews and appreciation!
