Enjoy!!

Rin moved swiftly from the kitchen to the living room after finishing her breakfast. She looked out the window and smiled as the warm rays of sun hit her face. It was subtly, but a pain stabbed quickly at her heart. Rin furrowed her eyebrows and stepped away fro the window, brushing off the feeling. She ran up the stairs and headed for her room. Luna was still at Artemis', and Rin knew that if she came home and saw that Rin had ditched school, she would be in big trouble. She didn't want to deal with that.

Rin quickly changed out of her pajamas and into jean shorts and a blue shirt. She grabbed her purse and slung it over her shoulder casually as she exited her room. Rin skipped down the stairs and left the house, closing the door behind her.

The heat from the sun soothed her and Rin decided to spend the entire day outside. Rin headed in the direction of the park. She walked slowly, wondering why those around her weren't just enjoying the day as she was. By the time she reached the park, it was around 10 a.m. She found a bench and figured it wouldn't be too rude to take up the entire bench for herself, since there were very few people in the park at that time. She stretched out and pulled a book out from her satchel-sized purse.

Just as she was about to begin the next chapter, her watch buzzed. Rin quickly turned it on.

"Hello?" she whispered.

"Rin-chan! Where are you? Why aren't you in school?"

"Has something happened?"

The first three questions were from Ami, the last from Minako who sounded as if she had yelled it from further away.

"I'm fine," Rin laughed. "I was just so tired this morning; Usagi-chan suggested that I take the day off. Why didn't she just tell you that?"

"Usagi-chan's not here," Rei's voice boomed.

"Nani? She told me she was going…" Rin rolled her eyes, disappointed that she hadn't figured it out sooner. "Don't panic. I'm pretty sure I know where she is," Rin said, sounding confident.

"Are you sure? Where?" Minako's voice came through the watch again.

"I'm pretty sure she's with Mamoru," Rin replied.

"Should we contact her?" Makoto asked. "Just to make sure she's okay?"

"I'll do it," Rin said quickly. "I'll let you know what happens." She disconnected from the girls, and paged Usagi. She answered quickly.

"Hai?"

"Usagi-chan? Where are you?" Rin asked.

"I'm fine Rin-chan," Usagi's voice whispered through the watch.

"You're not at school," she continued.

"Hai," Usagi confessed. "I…I went to see Mamoru…" Rin's stomach flipped at Usagi's words.

"How did it go?" She bit her lip, waiting for the response.

"Great, actually! He totally understands, and he's fine with it," Usagi's voice rang happily through. "To tell you the truth, he's in love with Rei-chan."

"He told you that?" Rin gasped.

"Iie," Usagi giggled. "I figured it out for myself."

Rin breathed a silent sigh of relief.

"Uh, Rin-chan? How are you feeling?" Usagi continued.

"Fine," Rin answered with a smile. "Don't worry, Usagi-chan. I'm not disappearing!" She laughed.

"Oh, good!" Usagi laughed. "I was worried about that!"

"Don't be," Rin replied, serious now. She didn't want anything to worry Usagi. "I can take care of myself. I'm perfectly fine."

"Demo," Usagi started.

"Usagi-chan, please," Rin cut in. "Trust me. If I start to disappear, I'll let you know, okay?" She laughed at how easily she could talk about her potential nonexistence.

"Hai…"

"I really think we have nothing to worry about now," Rin added in cheerfully. "You and Mamoru breaking up was what we thought would do me in…" She laughed again. Rin felt relieved when she thought about it. She and Mamoru already broke up…and I'm still here! I guess my existence didn't really rely on their old destiny anyway!

"Please don't say it like that," Usagi said. "That sounds awful!"

Rin laughed, "Well, nothing bad has happened so far. You have nothing to worry about!" Rin stretched out on the bench and continued her conversation with Usagi. She urged Usagi to go find Seiya and wished her luck. Rin had a good feeling about this.

After disconnecting with Usagi, she called Ami back.

"Well?" Minako asked eagerly.

"She was with Mamo-chan," Rin informed.

"How are they?" Makoto asked.

"Uh…fine," Rin answered, a little confused as to why the girls would think anything would be wrong. Unless they can sense the change…

"Are they still together?" Rei asked.

"Iie, I think Usagi is on her way home now," Rin halfway lied.

"Iie, I meant are they still a couple," Rei clarified.

"Oh!" Rin laughed, forcing amusement. "Of course they are," she lied. Why? She felt like it was the right thing to do. Something deep inside her told her to lie. If they find out that Usagi-chan and Mamo-chan broke up, they'll try to talk some reason into Usagi-chan… I believe she's doing the right thing…

"Ok, that's good," Minako laughed. "Well, we'll come check up on you two after school… Gotta get back to class now!"

"Have fun," Rin forced a laugh and then disconnected. She sighed as a knot grew in her stomach. Rin wasn't exactly comfortable with lying to them, but she knew that if they suspected anything, they would try to change Usagi's mind… It's not fair for one girl to be in charge of everyone's destiny, Rin thought sadly. Poor Usagi had to live her life like this for so long… Rin took a deep breath and stretched.

"It's her decision now," she whispered as she reopened her book and got back to the next chapter. Rin was lost in her book for almost a half hour when something made her look up.

A brilliant light flashed overhead, and Rin's gaze immediately focused on the sky. A shooting star? At this time of day! That's unusual….

Her heart pounded heavily. Rin grasped at her chest uselessly. Her heart pounded again. She gasped for breath as a shooting pain ran through her whole body.

What's happening? She wondered anxiously.

It then hit her.

She looked back up at the sky and tears formed in her eyes.

"Seiya!"

Rin gasped again as pain pulsed through her veins…

Rin tried to move as quickly as she could, grabbing her book, purse, and running from the park. She stumbled down the streets, ignoring the angry yells that followed her as she bumped into people.

I don't understand, she thought as she raced down the now crowded sidewalks. Why am I feeling so terrible now? She brought her hands up in front of her to break through a crowd of people and froze.

She could slightly see through them.

I'm disappearing?!

Rin ran as fast as she could down the streets, praying that she would make it to Usagi's house before she had become completely translucent. It was becoming harder for Rin to control her body. Her legs and feet were more difficult to move, and her running slowed. She rounded the corner of Usagi's block, trying to hold onto the brick wall to keep her up.

I have to get to Luna… Her eyes widened. Luna! Is she still at Minako's?! Rin's heart pounded slowly. She felt herself slowly disappearing, losing herself…

She opened the front door slowly and kicked it shut behind her. She dropped down to her hands and knees, wiling herself to keep moving.

"Luna!" She yelled as loud as she could. Her throat ached, and her head pounded. Tears poured from Rin's eyes, and she prayed Luna was there somewhere. "Please…"

"Rin-chan!" Luna exclaimed, bounding down the stairs in one leap. "Oh my God!! What happened?! Where's Usagi-chan?! She and Mamo-chan broke up?!"

"Hai," Rin answered hoarsely.

"Nani?!" Luna pawed at Rin's arm gently, and grimaced when it passed right through. "Rin-chan, hold on, you'll be fine…" Luna didn't know what to do…

"They...broke up, demo…" Rin gasped. "That's not…the reason…"

"Nani!? What is it then? Why is this happening?"

"Seiya…" Rin met Luna's eyes. "Seiya's gone…."

"That…can't be," Luna whispered. "Her destiny is with Mamo-chan!"

"They broke up an hour ago… Luna-chan… Seiya just left." Rin took a deep breath. "Tell her…" She fell unconscious on the floor.

Luna panicked for a moment, then forced herself to think things through quickly. She understood completely what this situation meant, and tapped Rin's watch, which was the only thing on her, besides the book and purse that wasn't disappearing with her. She tapped it and connected to Usagi.

"Rin-chan!" Usagi's voice sounded muffled.

"Iie," Luna yelled hurriedly. "Usagi-chan, where are you?"

"Luna-chan? I'm on the roof at school," she whispered.

"With Seiya?"

"He's gone…back home to Kinmoku," Usagi's voice cried.

"Listen to me, Usagi-chan," Luna continued quickly. "You need to go after him!"

"L-Luna…."

"Has anyone seen you?"

"Iie…"

"Go now," Luna ordered. "You need to transport to that planet this instant!"

"What's wrong?" Usagi asked worriedly.

"Rin-chan is disappearing…"

"Oh God! I have to find Mamo-chan…" Usagi started.

"Iie!" Luna cut her off. "Usagi-chan, she began to disappear when Seiya left…"

"Demo…that means…"

"Go Usagi-chan! There's no time to think about it!" Luna said strongly. "You must do this!"

"Hai!"

The watch was disconnected… it fell to the floor as Rin continued to become more and more transparent.

"Hold on Rin-chan," Luna whispered. "You'll be fine…" She prayed that her words would come true.
