Sorry for the late updates. I have been very busy...

"Can You feel it too? I can't breathe, I am suffocating…This pain inside my soul feels unbearable. How can I live together with this? I did it once, but this was all before there was Us. Us there was slight hope of Us forever. I almost had you...Almost! Damn it! This is crazy! He is gonna give you a child...just the thought of him touching you...This hurts to the bones...it burns my skin. My mind is going blank. My body still feels numb...I am dead!"

How was she supposed to know this will happen? The image of the heartbroken Moon Princess was constantly in her head, in her heart, those beautiful blue eyes full of tears that begged her to stay, it was haunting her during their way back home. Her soul was torn once more. The Starlight experienced this aspect previously, it was hard to leave her for the first time, but back then it was way easier, because she left with the thought that her Odango, will surely be happy with the one she loved, but now it was different from the last time. This time she was the one whom she loved. Yes! She loved her, not him… those kisses they have shared, those secret forbidden touches, the way her hands explored her body was something out of a dream. A dream! Now she regrets she refused to have her. She had so many opportunities to show her how much she loved her, but she missed it, she wanted to give her the respect she deserved. After all, it was better this way, she would never dare to hurt the one she loved, the one who made her blood boil from desire, the one who made her happy and unhappy at the same time. Actually, her unhappiness was caused by cruel faith. "Why did you have to come across my way? Odango..."

While the Three Starlights were traveling with the speed of light heading home earlier as planned, the Inner senshies were trying to get their leader back to together. Usagi has fallen into a million small pieces. The way she looked was the reflection of how she felt inside. Empty, lifeless, something died. Her soul was cold, Seiya ripped her heart out and took it away, with her. The girls tried talking to her, to make contact but there was no use. She was staring in front of her, the girls were calling out her name, trying to get her attention.

"Usagi-chan...please.." Makoto knelt down in front of her. The blonde's head was clinging to the pillow, her eyes were swallowed up from all that crying, her vision was blurred."You have to put yourself together, for everyone's sake."

"Mako-chan is right. We had worse than this…"

"Worst? Wo..worst than this…? How?When?" Usagi asked her friends, her voice almost chuckled from the tears she was trying to hold back.

"Guys...Leave us alone…" Rei turned to the girls seriously. The girls knew if anyone can reason with Usagi, was the senshie of fire.

"Of course...Good luck…"Minako tried to stay positive, although she had trouble keeping it together too, her duty was to be by her side, no matter what. Before she closed the door behind her, she took one last look at her leader, who was now defeated, sad and tormented by the pain of cruel separation.

" Usagi…" she walked over the edge of the bed, set down next to her friend, who laid on the white sheets bed, drowned in her sadness. Her mascara was all messed up, silent tears were rolling down her cheeks, her lips trembling.

"I know...I wasn't really thinking about her...i was so selfish…." She was walking up and down the room, nervously scratching her hands.

"Usagi...listen…"

"No...Mamo-chan was right...I have to get rid of this…somehow…"

"Get rid of what exactly?" Rei raised an eyebrow, suspiciously and now terrified, the girl standing in front of her was totally a different person.

"Get rid of my love...My love for..Seiya...Because it is crazy, maybe even...like Mamo-chan said, sick.Bu..bu..but it sure did not feel wrong...Wanna know how it felt?"Usagi looked at her friend and Rei wanted did she really wanted to know. Talking about her will make things even worse, but she was somehow unstoppable.

"Tell me…" her usual harsh voice, was softened by her friend suffering.

"It was pure magic. I tried to deny it firmly, but when she was near me, my heart speeds up. At first, I tried to cope with the idea that she is a girl, that wasn't too difficult, then she would approach me playfully, without any bad intention. I saw it in her eyes...I felt it...I wanted to ignore it so badly, until...that stormy day...When I was alone at home, Atsuki was in the hospital, I was scared she came and she was standing right there, the rain washed through her as she rushed to be by my side. I jumped in her arms, we both were shocking wet, but somehow that didn't matter. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe, in her arms. Our eyes met..and I gave in...I let her kiss me, then I pushed her away."

"Is that why they wanted to leave?" Rei asked.

"Yes! A..and I froze when I heard her say they want to leave again. The simple thought of losing her again was killing me."

"Usagi…"

"But now...Why wasn't I thinking? I mean I should have done it...let her leave to spare her from the pain. I am a monster…"

"No, you do not don't be silly..this is...well…" Rei was out of words.

"Yeah, it is...a situation without no escape.." Usagi lifted herself up from the bed, she got closer to the window at her balcony door. The Moon was all covered up in a dark cloud-like her soul was full of pain.

"You need to get some sleep, "Rei suggested. The senshie of fire was about to let her get some sleep.

"Don't leave...I beg you..not you too…" the blonde fell helplessly on the ground, defeated by destiny itself.

"Okay, I will stay…" Rei got closer, and embraced her friend, trying to calm her."Cry as much as you like. I am her…"

"Uhmm...Seiya…" the tears broke thru like a wild river.

"Shhhh…" her voice was calm, she hated the situation, but the only thing she could do now is to stay there, hold her and try to make it thru. Well, Usagi wasn't the only one who was in pain. Ami and Minako were suffering in silence. The sense of love was now tasting the bitter side of the love story she engaged in with Yaten. In her room, there was a newspaper article they appeared in. By looking at that picture, she recalled that wonderful kiss they shared on stage, mostly how daring Yaten behaved. "I miss you so much...Why is this happening? I just found real love in you...Yaten...I miss your light already...How will I live without it?" Ami locked herself in the room, and fell on her bed, crying out her pain on an old book full of love poems. The Stars collision was huge, the departure of the Starlight left nothing but a huge black hole in her soul.

Usagi finally fell asleep from all that crying, she got tired, not physically, but mentally. Maybe her dreams would bring some joy to her existence. Rei decided to go back to her room to grab some pajamas. As she opened the door Makoto crossed her way.

"Rei-chan…"

"Shhh! She just fell asleep."

"How is she?"

"Not too good. Honestly, I have never seen her so devastated before."

"I can't imagine what she is going through. This romance was with Seiya was..overwhelming."

"Yeah…By the way, where are you heading? Isn't your room downstairs?"

"It is, but I haven't seen the girl since the incident, they are the guest of Usagi-chan, Minako-chan, and Amo-chan. We have to look after them."

"Yeah...now that you mention it, haven't seen them either. Let's go check up in them."

"Sure…" the two girls were heading towards the room down the hallway, as soon they saw the open door, they entered and what they saw was shocking. The maids were cleaning out the room.

"This can't be right!"

"I am sure this is the right room," Makoto said firmly convinced that she was not mistaken.

"I know. Excuse me miss…"Rei tried to investigate what was going on.

" Yes."

"Where are the three girls and their stuff from this room?"

"What girls?"

"Three girls were living in this room for three days."

"You must be mistaken, miss..this room has been closed for almost a month...We are preparing it because tomorrow we have to get it ready."

"No...listen.There were three girls even today in this room...on this floor…"

"I can assure you...this room has been locked, miss."

"I saw it too.," Makoto confirmed.

"I can assure you, that there was no one here." The maid turned away looking suspiciously at the two girls.

"But…" Rei wanted to insist, Makoto grabbed her shoulder.

"Rei-chan, forget it. Come on."

"How can she say that there was no one here?"

"I don't understand...there was nothing in that room...None of their stuff."

"That's strange…Maybe Minako-chan knows something?"

"Do you think we should bother them?"

"We should because they are responsible for them…" Rei was so upset She had to deal with Usagi and now this.

"Okay…" they were heading toward Minako's room, they were about to knock when the door slammed open."

"Aaaa!"Minako screamed.

"What!?"

"What, what? You guys scared me!"

"Sorry, we didn't mean too."

"Minako-chan's have a problem!" Makoto looked at as if somehow just died, we'll actually someone has, they just didn't know.

"What could be worse than this?"

"The girls are missing..Ai, Atsuki and Michiko."

"How...maybe they are out someplace having fun."

"No...we were in their room and their stuff is gone.."

"Gone? Are you serious?"

"That's not all." Makoto raises tension.

"There is more?" Minako thought she couldn't handle

"Yes! The maid said that the room they were in, has been closed for a month, no one has been there ever since. They don't remember any girls staying there."

"This is crazy...we have to find them…"

"Minako-chan's it is almost midnight. "

"Who cares?"

"Alright.."Rei agreed to try and find them. All this fussing around woke Usagi up. She heard their whispering and went outside.

"Usagi-chan's…"

"What is going on?" She asked with a small voice.

"Nothing...go back to sleep…" Rei tried to avoid another worry.

"Then why are you here?"

"The girls are missing...Ai, Atsuki, Michiko…"

"Missing?"

"Their room is empty…"

"Empty…." Usagi rushed to the room where the maid were getting it ready for the guest. She stood numbly…"What is going on?"

Meanwhile, the senshies were standing before this situation confused, Dementia, the evil self-proclaimed Queen of Darkness was boiling with rage.

"Oracle…."

"This is bad?"

"Bad?Bad.Aaaaaa…..I give the Moon Princess soon something to think about."

"Those Outers...made this all happen…"

"Then they will be ones to suffer."
