Dirty Little Secret Chapter 14: Midnight, a sailor moon fanfic

Disclaimer: Neither the show nor the song is mine. But it would be sooooooo awesome if they were.

Notes: In this, the senshi use the Japanese versions of their attacks and transformation phrases. Might as well, their names and all are Japanese, too. Read the notes at the bottom, as always. I need help and have a question for you. But read first! Wow, short notes.

Whoa, I am so good to you. I posted only yesterday and am already poting this today. Why? So many great reviews! This is a good chapter. The next is better. I've already written it. Also, people are reading my new fic. But I'll wait a few more day to post the next chapter, I think. I'm aiming for 15 reviews. But if it doesn't happen, meh. I'll update anyway. But it would make me happy! (hint: a happy kaelien is a fast kaelien!)

Chapter two of IYBMB is up! Read it! But read this first.

Also... you know, if you don't like this story, then don't read it! Saves time.

Enjoy.

You know what my favorite word is? I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "r" and rhymes with "eview!"

Dirty Little Secret

Summary: Alternate ending and continuation of the Stars season. Before the lights leave, Usagi confesses to Seiya that she returns his love, and he leaves with a promise to someday return. Soon after the departure, Usagi suddenly and strangely moves to an unknown university, very far away. Few know her secret, but they promise to help her until the day Seiya will return-and when he does, he will make a great discovery. A Seiya and Usagi love story.

Last chapter:

"Stupid Seiya," he said to himself. Yaten decided he wanted to leave the place where he was, as it was too close to the place where the drama had occurred. He stood up straight, and began to walk back to the front entrance of the palace, talking to himself the while way.

"Stupid, stupid Seiya... going around kissing other women... and I thought he loved Usagi... poor Usagi... stupid Seiya, breaking Usagi's heart... man, is his day is gonna suck-"

"WHAT... did... you... say?" Someone said, no, growled, cutting his conversation with himself short.

Yaten, stunned, whirled around to face the voice behind him. He laughed sheepishly and backed up a few steps when he saw who it was, not ready to face their wrath. Their steaming rage was coming off of them in waves, and their expression was deadly. Poor Yaten, he hadn't done anything bad himself. But now he was standing frozen on the spot, completely terrified, face to face with a furious Haruka.

and

Setsuna would come help Minako with Kari, so that Minako could be free for a while. She was hungry... and had someone she wanted to see. Setsuna had volunteered to take Minako's position, and the latter was very grateful.

So, Minako was free to go and eat and find a certain someone while Setsuna was taking care of Kari, and Michiru went to find Usagi and Haruka.

Minako, however, decided halfway to the palace (where she figured she'd find Yaten) that she really should be looking for her friend. Feeling guilty that she had put herself first, Minako changed her course of action and went to ask about Usagi instead of Yaten. She briefly wondered if she should seek out Haruka first, but ended up still going for Usagi.

and

"Then why doesn't he want me!" Usagi pulled away from him enough to scream out her sadness. "Why!"

"Usagi-"

"I broke up with Mamoru for him! I threw away a future I knew existed for him! I sacrificed my future daughter to be with him! She might never be born now! The future I knew and was destined to be part of is gone!"

What is she talking about?

"I shouldn't have told him... I should have stayed with Mamoru. He doesn't now, but he would have loved me if I'd stayed with him. I wouldn't love him, but at least I would be safe... but now, Seiya doesn't want me, and there's no one!"

"Usagi, I know that's not... look, even if Mamoru doesn't love you, you do still have S-"

"It doesn't matter that he doesn't love me anymore! What matters is that no one else does!"

"Usagi..." Taiki pulled her close for a hug again. "That's not true, we all love you-"

"Not like Seiya does... did..."

"Usagi! Listen to me!"

"What am I going to do, Taiki?" she asked him, then asked herself a question. "Oh, God, Kari.. what am I going to tell her?"

"Usagi... who's Kari?"

Usagi gasped.

She had not meant to say that.

Chapter 13: Midnight

If I had the chance love

You know I would not hesitate

To tell you all the things I never said before

Don't tell me it's too late

"Stupid, stupid Seiya... going around kissing other women... and I thought he loved Usagi... poor Usagi... stupid Seiya, breaking Usagi's heart... man, is his day is gonna suck-"

"WHAT... did... you... say?" Someone said, no, growled, cutting Yaten's conversation with himself short.

"Eh heh heh heh... well, hey there, Haruka-san. H-how are you doing? I didn't know you were visiting the lovely Kinmoku today..."

Before Yaten knew what was happening, Haruka had roughly yanked him off the ground by the top of his shirt and slammed him up against the nearby Palace wall. He let out an 'oomph' as he collided with the hard surface. She put her face right in front of his, and sneered at him in a deep voice.

"I... asked you... what you said... Yaten." With each word she got closer to his face, and was now practically growling out her words.

"Ah, f-fun-funny thing ab-bout that... ack!" Haruka had pushed him further into the hard wall.

"Hmm... why don't you tell me what it is that you find so amusing..."

"Er, well, you see... there was this thing, a-and then there was some stuff... some stuff, yeah, yea-aah!"

"You KNOW what I'm talking about, now TELL ME."

"Uhm, I don't know if that's such a good ideee-aaaah!"

"YATEN KOU. IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW I AM GOING TO SNAP YOUR LITTLE NECK IN HALF!" Yaten 'eeped,' knowing she would really hurt him if he lied-and she would know if he did. He took a deep breath.

"SeiyakissedanothergirlandUsagisawitandsheranaway."

"SAY IT AGAIN, YATEN."

"SeiyakissedanothergirlandUsagisawitandsheranaway!"

"Slowly."

"Seiya kissed another girl and Usagi saw it andthensheranaway"

"... He... did... WHAT?"

"He... h-he kissed another girl... and... can't breathe..." Haruka closed her eyes tightly and her fists clenched tightly.

"Yaten, tell me where he is."

"Heh... funny thing about that..."

"Now, Yaten."

"I-I'm not actually sure-"

"TELL ME WHERE THE BASTARD IS, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"

"He went after Usagi!"

"WHERE?"

"Th-that... way..." He could barely breathe. With an angry grunt, Haruka dropped Yaten, who fell to the ground very ungracefully and rubbed his neck. Haruka sprinted in the direction that Yaten had pointed in. Poor Yaten, he had been totally innocent.

Oh, GOD, what is she going to do to SEIYA? She'll KILL him! I have to find him, now! Yaten chased after Haruka, hoping he wouldn't be too slow to save Seiya from his impending doom.

- - -

"Usagi... who's Kari?"

Usagi gasped.

She had not meant to say that.

What am I going to do, now! Stupid Usagi! Seiya doesn't want you, Kari will be mad at you, and now you talk about Kari in front of Taiki! "I... uhm..." A new voice saved her from answering the question when it called out to her, and the person ran up to Usagi and Taiki. Usagi quickly turned away and hid her face from view. She was still crying, and she was a mess. She didn't want anyone to see her like this.

The person finally reached them, and saw Usagi's distressed state.

"Oh my God..." Taiki looked up, surprised.

"Um... hello, Michiru-san," he said rather slowly.

"Taiki, move aside. Let me see to my Princess." Taiki moved away hesitantly, a little sad to leave the distressed girl so soon. Michiru sat in Taiki's place, and put an elegant finger under Usagi's chin. Raising Usagi's head to her face, Michiru had a sad expression, feeling sympathy for the younger girl. But the blonde did not raise her gaze.

"Usagi-chan, look at me, please." After a moment, Usagi did, and Michiru felt tears in her eyes when she saw the pain, sorrow, and betrayal in Usagi's. "My God, Usagi-chan... what has that man done to you?"

Usagi tried to speak, but she couldn't find the words. She looked up at Taiki, silently telling him that it was okay if he told Michiru what had just happened. The older woman pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back and softly stroking her hair.

"Michiru-san," Taiki started, "Usagi and I met earlier today when Yaten was with her; he was trying to help her find Seiya. It took a while, but we did. I... never expected to see him do what he did, never. You see, he..." Taiki found it hard to continue when Usagi's sorrow increased. Taiki said in a more hushed voice, "...he was with another woman. Intimately. He kissed her. And Usagi, Yaten, and I all saw it. I... I was beyond shocked." Michiru gasped at the speech and held her friend tighter. She felt a strangely powerful anger build inside of her, and a need to release it.

If this is how Haruka feels... then I understand her more. But when she hears about this...

- - -

While Seiya was a fast man, he was no match for the wind senshi. He was also not as good of a tracker as she was. While he was looking around town for Usagi, Haruka had already passed it and was now entering the large field where so much had taken place. When she saw some figures far off in the distance, and saw that two had unusual hair color and styles, she instantly recognized them, but disregarded the man. He wasn't Seiya. Haruka kept running, eager to reach the three. She slowed and stopped, however, when she heard a voice call out to her from behind.

- - -

Seiya looked frantically around the market for a young woman with two buns on her head, but she was no where in sight. He began to ask around, questioning people if they had seen her, giving them a physical description. But no one had seen Usagi.

Someone, however, had just spotted Seiya.

Setsuna saw the young man, and in an instant hid behind a nearby, large tree. She knew he was looking for Usagi, and wondered why he looked so panicked. He was very close to them. Setsuna began to worry about Usagi. If he was looking for her so desperately... could something have happened? She held Kari in front of her, and motioned to her to be quiet. Setsuna would not let him see her. Not yet. That was for Usagi to do, and she would not go against her Princess' wishes.

And then, Setsuna could see him again. She saw an elderly female approach Seiya, but could not here what she was saying.

"Excuse me, sir, but I couldn't help but here your conversation with that man over there about a young lady with blonde hair and a certain hairstyle." Seiya turned to her, giving her his full attention. He put his hands on her shoulders gently and spoke very sincerely.

"Miss, please tell me, have you seen her? I... desperately need to find her."

"I did see her, in fact. It was probably... I don't know, but it was recently. She was in such a terrible state, the poor thing."

"Please, oh God, please tell me where she went." She then looked at him strangely.

"...Are you the reason she looked so terrible? You know, she was running so fast through here. The darling looked like someone had just broken her little heart... I don't know if I should tell you-"

"Please! I have to find her! There's been a terrible misunderstanding, and I'm so worried! You have to tell me where she went, I'm begging you! Please... I'll-I'll do anything... just tell me..." Seiya looked so incredibly devastated, so totally desperate, that the woman could not deny him the information. She sighed.

"The young lady ran that way," she pointed towards the field. "She was being pursued by a young man who... looked rather like you, actually. But taller. And brown hair. Now... you better make her happy again, just seeing that face hurt me."

"Thank you, thank you so much. I have to go now." Seiya turned from her and ran.

Setsuna, seeing the display, hurried to the older woman, very concerned. She didn't know how she could get the information fast, so she would flat out give critical information to get what she wanted.

"Excuse me, I'm so sorry to bother you, but I'm a good friend of the woman that man must have been looking for. This," she said, gesturing to Kari, "is her daughter. That," she pointed to Seiya's retreating form. "is this girl's father. I need to find them, I fear for the confrontation. Is he going to where she is? Did you see her?"

"Yes, I did. And I believe you, there's a striking resemblance. They all went that way."

Setsuna whispered a hurried thank you and followed after Seiya as best she could while holding Kari, who hadn't yet seen Seiya. This was probably good, because Kari knew his face now. She'd seen him in photos, and knew that the man was related to her.

Kari knew... she knew that Seiya was her father.

Setsuna had barely gotten out of the market when Minako found her. Setsuna explained the situation to her before Minako could speak, and the two took off together.

They stopped, however, when they heard the shout. It was a yell; a loud and angry one. It sounded like that of a soldier attacking the enemy on a battlefield. The women turned to each other, and whispered at the same time,

"Haruka."

Minako took off, as did Setsuna, towards the sound.

"Minako-chan... I'm kind of scared."

"If what I think is right, so am I." Minako and Setsuna neared the scene, and could make out two tall figures. One with black hair, the other with sandy hair. Setsuna abruptly stopped and told Minako to wait.

"Oh God, Minako... she's found him. We have to get her. She'll hurt him, I know it. Badly. Please, take Kari. I don't know if you can stop her... or if I can. But I think I might have a better chance."

"Alright..." Minako felt bad, but understood. She took Kari from Setsuna.

"Stay here, out of sight. Do not let him see you. There-do you see those trees? Go and hide." Minako turned, and saw them in the distance. She knew Seiya would be too distracted to notice her run to them at this distance. Minako thought she could make out a shape near the trees, but didn't put too much thought on it. She nodded at Setsuna, and headed for the place.

Setsuna ran to the scene. She would try her hardest to stop Haruka. When she got closer, she froze. She had never seen Haruka so furious in her entire life-never seen anyone so furious. The rage was coming from all parts of Haruka. Her face expressed the most intense anger, and her body language shouted 'danger' and 'ferocious outrage.' She knew that Setsuna could not stop the woman. There was only one thing she could do. While she wasn't enough, maybe Sailor Pluto was, although Uranus was a formidable opponent, especially when angry. But Setsuna had to try.

"Pluto planet power make up!"

Just as Setsuna transformed, she could hear Haruka shout, and became even more anxious at the words.

- - -

Setsuna had seen the current and still interaction between Haruka and Seiya. The exchage was only verbal at first. But she hadn't seen how it had started, the confrontation.

Seiya had been running, and seen someone in front of him. He recognized the form, and was curious as to why she was there, but wondered if she knew where Usagi might be. He hadn't thought that she might actually know what had just transpired. Hopeful, he called out to her.

"Haruka-san! Wait up!" Haruka had stopped. She slowly turned around, not yet identifying the familiar voice. It had been three years, after all.

And when Haruka laid her eyes upon the man, something inside of her snapped.

She felt red-hot fire erupt inside of her like never before. A drop of blood felt from her hand, her fists so tight that her nails had punctured the skin on her palm. The wrathful part of her personality was taking over. Haruka felt an adrenaline rush and a terrifying, intense desire to inflict serious physical damage upon Seiya's person. The hateful passion filled her eyes, which burned with a fierce madness. She was ready to express her disapproval of his actions and punish the man for the offenses laid against him.

Seiya had finally reached her, but only to take a step back when he saw her eyes. His own widened in astonishment. He had not thought anyone capable of such an emotion. There was an invisible storm around her, a whirlwind of negative energy that was directed towards him. He could only conclude one thing from Haruka's condition.

She knew what had happened. And she was going to make him pay.

While Seiya knew he deserved the anger she felt towards himself, he really didn't want to face the woman in front of him. He didn't think he deserved death that much. It was true that he would rather die then ever hurt Usagi, but he hadn't meant to, and already felt worse then he had in his entire life. Maybe she was right to hate him, to hurt him. But he wouldn't let her beat him to a pulp.

Though... Haruka looked like she wanted to do much more than that.

She was possessed by her anger. The boiling rage was driving her to the brink of insanity, to not knowing what was right and what was wrong. There was a strong gust of wind, ruffling her hair and suiting her mood. Her element reflected her fury, and whipped around her like a tornado. Haruka had never felt such a strong urge to transform and beat the shit out of a person before. She would unleash the beast that Sailor Uranus could be. She would let the madness free. But Before Uranus came, Haruka Tenou would have her turn.

Her voice was deep and rough, but only above a whisper, anger lacing it-though Seiya could hear exactly what she was saying, and she spoke her mind quite boldly and in detail.

"Seiya Kou..." Her glare intensified. "I don't know why you did it... with whom you did it... and how you did it... But you did." She growled at him.

"Um, listen, Haruka-san, I-"

"SHUT UP, ASSHOLE!" Seiya clamped his mouth shut, and Haruka continued. "Usagi Tsukino is the sweetest, purest, and most kind-hearted person I have ever known to exist. And I have known a lot of people, Seiya Kou. There is no sane person, not anywhere, that would ever purposefully hurt her. She is too gentle, too innocent. She has enemies only because she is the guardian of all that is precious. She has only been taken away by those that needed her for something-never out of pure hate for her personality. Whether it be from a desire to take some part of her power or from a desire to have simply her, even the enemies want that girl. They want what she has, her planet, her crystal; and even her heart, her spirit, and her body."

"Haruk-"

"Listen to me!" She took a step foward. "...Yet they have never truly gotten any of these. She is too loyal, too determined, too full of light to let them hurt her. She does not give them any of the things they want. Usagi would give herself up, her life, anything-to save her loved ones, her planet. She values life, even that of her foes. She can not hate. It is not who she is.

Even when she was taken by a man who was evil and corrupted, she could not hate him. He abducted her because he lusted for her, and then even loved her. He was kind to her in hopes of gaining her affection. But she was loyal to her true love then, and resisted him, even his powers. And later, when he died, she held him, comforted him. She was able to change him-he turned against his evil side and associates, and it killed him. So you see, even Usagi's enemies help her."

"Look, Haruka-san, I have to-" she cut him off again with a raised voice and a quick start.

"Once, someone very young and dear to her was turned wicked, from unjust manipulation, and thrust foward in time to become a woman. This new dark woman corrupted and stole Mamoru from Usagi, yet Usagi could not hate her. Even when Mamoru was brainwashed and made her enemy, she loved him. Both of them, she has saved. Physically and emotionally. She has saved her enemies from themselves, and released people from the clutches of evil. Usagi Tsukino is capable of many things, and is not a deserter."

Stop this you stupid woman! I have to find Odango! "I know she wouldn't desert anyone!"

"And it would make sense that we; her friends, her comrades, her guardians, were the same. We, the senshi, had learned from her. She is our light, our Princess, our friends, our savior. When she is sad, we cheer her up. When she is lost, we help her find her way. She has always done the same for us. And when she is harmed, taken, we always get her back. We always take down our enemies. And you don't have to be evil to be against us."

What is she getting at? ...Is she talking about me?

"When the outer senshi, including me, first met her, we were her enemies. But we could not resist her for long. Her heart is so big, her generosity and consideration so endless, that we can not help but love her unconditionally. And so does she love. When she loves, she does so completely. Few men have had the ultimate privilege of winning her love. Mamoru was the first. He was turned against her many times, even killed, but she always found a way back to him. He would never willingly betray her. Her love is too precious."

Haruka's angry glare became more intense, and she walked towards him a little. Her voice became even deeper, and it was starting to scare Seiya.

"But for some reason, for some uncomprehensible reason, she transferred her love to you. She gave you her heart, her spirit, her body, and her very soul. Usagi gave you every part of herself, of her love. Even more than she gave to Mamoru, and that is impressive within itself. I have seen her sadness. I have seen her despair. It hurts me more than anything in the world. Usagi's sorrow is the most heart-wrenching thing anyone could ever witness. Such a kind creature should never have dashed hopes, never feel anguish, never be rejected. And yet, this has happened to her. It is a cruel, cruel twist of fate that has befallen her. The person she loves most, the one who she has loved more then anyone in the course of her troubled lifetime, has brought this upon her."

"No! You don't underst-"

"It is harsh, and it is disgusting. She is the last person who should ever feel such depression. And to think, how you, you the god damn biggest jerk I have ever come across, is the one she loves and yet has hurt her so much are standing before me completely untouched, really pisses me off. Do you have any idea of what she has gone through? No, there is no possible way. You could not even imagine something so horrible."

"Now you listen to me!"

She didn't.

"But I have witnessed it. For almost two and a half years, I have been with her. For two and a half years, I have been doing your job! I have brushed aside my life, forsaken my own happiness, and even neglected my own lover, so that I could take care of yours. But I love her, we all do. So it wasn't too much of a burden."

"HARUK-"

"But what gets me is THIS. While Usagi was on Earth, longing to be with you and waiting to see you, checking her calendar every day to count how much longer she would have to wait, while she was crying herself to sleep, you could have fucking cared less. If you knew was has transpired with her these last three years... if you had any idea...

But you don't! Because you left her. And then, you forgot about her. And you found someone else. Do you know what she has done for you? What she has sacrificed?"

"I..."

"NO! DON'T YOU EVEN FUCKING TRY!" She took a deep breath. "For you, she had to basically ruin her life. Usagi gave up a safe, secure, peaceful future for you. She broke up with Mamoru for you. She cut all ties to her friends and family for you. She moved miles away from her old life and home for you. She didn't continue her education for you. She left all the people who loved her for you. She lived on her own for you. She worked so god damn hard... for you. And I can not think of anyone less deserving."

The last part made Seiya cringe. Had she really done all of that? Really? And why?

"That girl went through so much shit, so much total shit. For three YEARS. You hurt her, you tossed her aside! And now, you've done it again. You have hurt her in the worst possible way. You do not deserve her, you do not deserve that treasure which she has. That beautiful, pure, wonderful thing can not possibly be connected to you! But still, she loves it. And you. She shouldn't, but she does.

And that, Seiya Kou, is why I hate you. For every day she suffered, labored, and toiled, and that she sacrificed all the happiness in her life... all because of you. Why she had to do so is not for me to say. It is hers and hers alone. Although, I really don't think you deserve to know! You don't deserve Usagi, you certainly don't deserve her!"

"Haruka-san, what-"

"Shut the hell up!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Seiya, I am not a bad person. I do not purposefully hurt people, like someone I know. I am simply loyal to my loved ones. Usagi Tsukino is at the very top of that list, because she will not defend herself against bastards like yourself. She will not give you what you deserve. So, that is my job. She is my Princess, my Koneko-chan. I am her guardian, her family, and her friend. And I do not tolerate such treatment of my friends.

But you, you... God damn fucking bastard, you are full of shit and lies! YOU, you have committed the worst crime. You have... broken her. Destroyed her. Taken away her innocence and joy. Her light is faded, and only does not extinguish because of that precious treasure of hers... which you are also not worthy of."

"What are you talking abou-"

"YOU HAVE, in a sense, killed her. Seiya Kou, you've done more to her than any single person ever has. You are a complete disgrace, and I will NOT LET YOU get away with what you have done! You, Seiya Kou, will never hurt Usagi Tsukino again!"

And with that, Haruka lunged at him. She was the senshi of the wind; the fastest and most agile of them all. He was no match for her speed. She grabbed him by the collar and threw her fist into his face as hard as she could. He stumbled backwards and fell to the ground, rubbing his jaw. He opened his mouth to speak, but was too slow.

Haruka yanked Seiya up by his left arm, and socked him in the stomach. He went back, clutching it in pain. As much as he though he deserved a punishment, he hadn't seen Usagi yet. He couldn't die until he saw her again. He hadn't meant to betray her, but he had forgotten the day. Yet he would fight back-or he would never get to see his Odango, and apologize for everything. Though it would never be enough.

Before she could make a well-placed hick into his already pained stomach, he dove to the side. But still, she was too fast. Gripping his shirt, she threw him far, and he collided with the ground hard. Yet, Haruka wanted more. She wanted to tear him apart. Her current strength and speed were impressive...

But they were nothing compared to that of Sailor Uranus. She fingered something in her pocket for a moment, then whipped it out and held it in the air.

"URANUS PLANET POWER... MAKE UP!"

A whirlwind enveloped her, and her abilities skyrocketed. Seiya's eyes went wide as anxiety grew within him. Sailor Star Fighter was a force to be reckoned with, but he wasn't sure if anyone could face the wrath and fury of an outraged Sailor Uranus. And to top it off, he couldn't transform. He had left that little tool in his room, not needing it. He couldn't increase his senses or abilities. And now that Haruka was transformed, he was no match for the woman. Seiya didn't stand a chance. Haruka knew he could not transform and defend himself.

"WORLD... SHAKING!"

As the vicious attack flew towards Seiya, he could not move. There was nothing he could do. He was going to be hit.

But then, Seiya remembered something.

In the instant right before Uranus' attack hit, Seiya's hands shot out in front of him. He acted on pure instinct alone, not having time to think. With every bit of energy, every bit of hope, and all the strength he possessed, Seiya channeled his very being to his outstretched palms.

"STAR SERIOUS LASER!"

The two attacks collided with force. There was a brilliant flash of light, illuminating the entire field. The intensity of the burst made the rest of the area as dark as night.

It was a shining light, big and white, like a blazing star at midnight. Setsuna was thrown back from the blast, cringing at the pain. When she had recovered enough, she scrambled up to see what had happened to the two fighting people.

When she saw the scene, she gasped in surprise and stared. And then, she was struck with terror, and shouted out;

"NO!"

- - -

Yaten was running around in circles. He simply could not find anyone. But he had gone in the same direction as everyone else had! He should have run into someone! Yaten, however, was still in town. He hadn't thought to keep going. Finally, he decided to just ask around.

How ironic... that a certain old lady approached him.

"Sir," the elderly lady said, "you wouldn't happen to be looking for a girl with blonde hair in ponytails, two men with long hair pulled back like yours but brown and black, or a tall woman with a baby?" Yaten looked at her blankly.

...The hell? Wait! YES! "Yes, I am!" I have no idea about the woman and baby, but whatever. "...How did you know?"

"Nevermind that, just go that way. Everyone else is already over there." He was very confused, but didnt have time for other questions.

"Alright then, thanks, lady!" And then he was off.

She sighed. "Kids these days..."

- - -

Michiru's head snapped up when she heard Haruka shout her attack. She had very acute hearing, and Taiki and Usagi looked at her curiously, not hearing the noise. It was distant, but Michiru had heard it. And a second later, she heard another.

Oh my God...

Then they saw the light. The radiant blazing shocked them all.

"Usagi-chan, Taiki, I have to go." She closed her eyes, frustrated with a certain short-haired senshi. "And I have to go now. Stay here."

"What was that, Michiru-san?" asked Taiki. Michiru gently pulled Usagi to her feet.

"Haruka has found Seiya."

- - - - -

Okay, this chapter is DONE! No more parts to it. Phew!

Haruka is so awesome. Even if she didn't let him explain. Oh, well. It's exciting! I love her. Huge speech though. Maybe too big, but whatever.

And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Yaten.

Hang tight, and see you next chapter-which is titled "Reunion." Self-explanatory. It's about time, too. It only took them like, 14 chapters!

Hmm... last chapter I wrote it was posted in the 25th. Um, yea. That's wrong. It should say the 22nd, thought it doesn't really matter. Too lazy to change it.

PS!

Go read If You'll Be My Bodyguard, if you haven't already! It's my newest fic, and, of course, accessible through my user info page. Chapter 2 has just been posted! Go read!

PPS!

IMPORTANT QUESTION!

Are any of you having problems putting a "?" and an "!" next to each other and not having them both show up? For some reason, it won't let me put the two together, or multiple punctuation marks at all, except for periods. I hate it, because some of the effect if lost when it's just a question mark and not a question mark and an exclamation point. Help me! Or I'll... die. (Not really.)

Laters!
