:::Chapter 4:::
(Two Days Later)
Noticing Usagi was drifting off to sleep once more, Seiya swiftly gave the back of her chair a swift kick startling her awake. 'Why is she so exhausted, we're the ones fighting.' He worriedly thought, knowing the last two nights there had been attacks. 'This new enemy Jasper-kun, he's strong, stronger than the other one.' Clenching his fists, he glanced back up at Usagi and frowned seeing she was dozing off once more. 'We need you Odango, when are you going to remember?' He thought, preparing to kick her seat once more, but noticed their Sensei approaching.
"Tsukino-san!" The Sensei angrily stated, watching his student startle herself awake. "Step out into the hallway, I will be there shortly." He sternly stated.
"Yes Sensei." Usagi mumbled as she stood and walked out of the classroom. Ignoring the giggles from her classmates, Usagi tiredly sighed as she stepped out into the hallway. Roughly pulling the door shut, she sighed out in frustration as she leaned against the wall. 'I'm never going to get my car back at this rate.' She glumly thought. Turning at the sound of the door opening, she kept her gaze down as her Sensei stepped out into the hallway. "I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again she said tearfully looking up.
"Tsukino-san, you are one of my top students, I don't understand why you're regressing backwards." The Sensei sternly stated, shaking his head with disappointment. "This is your final year, you-"
"I'm sorry, like I said it won't happen again." Usagi said tears shining in her eyes. "I will stand for the remainder of class if I need to, but I won't fall asleep."
"That will not be necessary." The Sensei said, worriedly looking at his student. "Is everything alright at home?"
"Yes, I just- it's nothing." Usagi said, shaking her head in frustration, unsure herself what was wrong with her.
"Alright, I will give you one more chance." The Sensei sternly stated. "You may stand at the back of the classroom, if you feel that you need to."
"Thank you Sensei." Usagi said, watching him nod his head before turning and walking back into the classroom.
Glancing over when she heard the roof door open, Usagi smiled watching Seiya walking towards her. "Thanks for kicking my seat." She said slightly blushing.
"Are you alright Odango?" Seiya worriedly asked sitting next to her. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he could see the exhaustion clearly on her face.
"It's nothing Seiya-chan." Usagi said turning her gaze away from him. Feeling Seiya gently cup her chin in his hand and turn her gaze towards him, she felt her stomach nervously flutter as their gazes met.
"What's bothering you?" Seiya worriedly asked once more. Seeing tears shining in her eyes, he could see something was clearly upsetting her. "You can talk to me about anything." He softly stated.
"I can't." Usagi said swiftly standing. Quickly grabbing her things, she swiftly ran from the roof as tears streaked her cheeks. 'I don't know what these nightmares mean.' She bitterly thought, knowing since the incident at the park she had been having the same recurring nightmare every night.
"Odango!" Seiya called out, quickly standing and worriedly watching her quick departure from the roof. Softly sighing he looked down in frustration wishing he could get her to open up to him and tell her what was bothering her. 'Let me help you Odango.' He desperately thought.
Rolling his eyes as Minako continued to chatter, Yaten sighed in annoyance as he glanced over at Taiki who was reading a book and successfully avoiding attention from the other three. Noticing Usagi and Seiya atop the roof, he sighed seeing Seiya leaning in towards her. 'You baka, when will you learn that she belongs to another.' He thought with annoyance, then noticed the blonde swiftly stand and rush from the roof.
'Awaken Sailor Mercury, awaken and protect the Princess…'
Dropping her book as an image suddenly filled her mind, Ami quickly removed her glasses as she rubbed her temple. 'What was that!' She thought back to the image of a Princess with long golden hair and a flowing white gown that flashed briefly in her mind. "Princess…" She whispered trying to make sense of what she had seen.
"What was that Ami-san?" Taiki asked, glancing up from his book when he noticed Ami drop her book, then mumble something to herself. 'Did she say Princess? Could she be remembering?' He curiously thought.
"Ami-chan are you alright?" Makoto worriedly asked, noticing Ami removing her glasses and rubbing her temple.
"It's nothing." Ami said, blushing slightly as she looked up at Taiki. "I'm fine Mako-chan, I will be right back, I'm going to go splash some water on my face." She said grabbing her things and quickly excusing herself from the group.
Glancing over at Taiki, Yaten noticed him smile as he nodded his head. 'Perhaps she will be awakening soon.' He thought knowing they needed help with the newest enemy. 'I will be so glad when they have all awakened, I'm ready to go home to Kinmoku.' He thought with irritation. 'This isn't our fight, we shouldn't be here.'
Splashing water on her face, Ami turned when hearing soft sniffles sound from one of the stalls. Grabbing some paper towels, she patted her face dry before placing her glasses on once more. Walking to the stall, she gently knocked on the stall door. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, please leave me alone." A soft voice replied, more sniffles soon following.
"Are you sure, I could get someone if you need me to." Ami worriedly asked, then turned at the sound of the bell ringing signaling the end of lunch. Hearing the stall door open, she turned and gasped seeing a blonde quickly emerge.
"Awaken, and protect the Princess…"
Touching her head as the same image flashed in her mind once more, Ami noticed the blonde quickly walk towards the door at the sound of the bell. "What does this mean?" She whispered, then gasped realizing she was going to be tardy to class if she didn't hurry. "I have to get to class!" She exclaimed out in shock swiftly running from the restroom.
Noticing Usagi going the opposite direction of the baseball field, Seiya frowned wondering why she wasn't going to baseball practice. Feeling something suddenly on his shoulder, he calmed when seeing Luna. "You scared me."
"She's been suspended from the team." Luna softly stated watching Seiya look at her in surprise. "There was an incident at the last game, she injured another player from the other team."
"On purpose?" Seiya asked in shock. "That isn't like her."
"Something is bothering her, I'm worried about her Seiya-chan. I'm unable to talk to her about it, so I'm not sure what it could be." Luna said watching Seiya look at her.
"She kept falling asleep in class today." Seiya softly stated. "That isn't like her, well, the new her, falling asleep in class." He said gently chuckling. 'I miss the old you Odango.' He glumly thought, then snapped from his thoughts hearing Luna speak.
"She's been having nightmares Seiya-chan, she's up most of the night." Luna said softly sighing before she spoke once more. "She's been spending most of her nights sitting on the balcony. Perhaps she will talk to you about it?" She stated with hope.
"I don't know if she will talk to me about it." Seiya said, then blushed noticing some students looking at him strangely for talking to Luna. "Let's walk and talk." He said, as he walked the same direction Usagi had left.
"If she will speak with you, will you try to find out what these dreams are about? Perhaps she's preparing to awaken." Luna stated with hope.
"We need Eternal Sailor Moon, this would make these fights much easier." Seiya said glancing at Luna. "Go on ahead, I will catch up shortly." He instructed, watching Luna swiftly jump from his shoulder and go in pursuit of Usagi.

Walking down the sidewalk, Usagi tiredly sighed as she kept her gaze down on the sidewalk. 'I'm so grateful Sensei didn't give me detention.' She thought with relief. 'I'm going to try to take a nap as soon as I get home.' She tiredly thought, never noticing the sudden attack.
"Usagi-chan look out!" Luna shouted, watching Usagi swiftly turn and look back towards her.
Abruptly turning at the warning, Usagi did not see anyone around then noticed Luna running towards her. "Luna-chan, what are you-" She asked, then screamed out in surprise as something suddenly slammed into her. Feeling her head slam against the brick wall, she groaned out in pain as her head began to throb with intense pain. Reaching up to touch her head, she gasped feeling her arms were bound tightly against the wall by a white sticky substance. "What is this?" She gasped, then realized what she was covered in. Seeing she was trapped in a sticky web like substance, she struggled against the tight bond trying to break lose. Abruptly looking up at a wicked laugh, she felt her stomach nervously twist seeing a creature part spider and woman walking towards her. Screaming out in fear, she struggled more against the tightly bound web, watching in fear as the creature quickly approached her.
"Koma-san, drain this human, then find me more." Jasper sternly commanded.
"Yes Jasper-san." Koma stated extending her hand and watching the web beginning to glow with pure pink energy energy. "This power, it's so pure and strong!" She exclaimed, wickedly laughing.
Feeling everything beginning to grow dark, Usagi weakly watched Luna suddenly leap at the creature. 'Luna-chan.' She weakly thought, watching her cat get blasted back by the creature. Feeling tears streak her cheeks, she groaned out one last time before darkness consumed her.
"Let her go!"
Turning at the voice, Koma smirked seeing a girl with short blue hair and blue insignia glowing on her forehead. "Another target." She mused extending her hand out and expelling a web.
Swiftly jumping out of the way, Ami raised her hand as she stood her transformation rod appearing in her hand. "Mercury Star Power, Make-Up!" She shouted.
"Impossible!" Koma shouted in shock watching the human transform into a Sailor Senshi.
"Star Serious Laser!"
Screaming as she was struck by the attack, Koma angrily stood and noticed a second Sailor Senshi appear in front of the girl trying to desperately remove the webs. Snapping her fingers, she laughed as both her victim and the Sailor Senshi screamed out in pain as they were exposed to pure dark energy from her webs.
"Damn you!" Sailor Star Fighter angrily stated, turning and glaring at the youma in a rage. "Let her go now!"
Watching from the shadows, Morganite watched with curiosity seeing how angry the Kinmoku Sailor Guardian was becoming over the capture of the blonde. 'Is she the one, is she the Princess?' She thought, noticing the newest Sailor Senshi swiftly unleashing her attack on Koma. 'I must speak to Jasper-san.' She wickedly thought, a plan forming in her mind.
"Koma-san!" Jasper shouted, watching with anger as his youma fell victim to the attacks of the Sailor Senshi. "Fight them!"
"Jasper-san." Morganite stated, appearing next to Jasper.
"Leave Morganite-san, do you not see I'm busy." Jasper sneered.
"Take her." Morganite sternly stated.
"What?" Jasper asked, looking at the unconscious human trapped in Koma's webs. "What purpose could I have with that human."
"Look at the way they are reacting to her capture." Morganite stated, watching Jasper turn towards the fight before him. "Do you not see the desperation to free her, they have not done that to any of the other humans you've drained." She said watching him wickedly smile.
"Not this time Morganite-san." Jasper said wickedly smiling. "She is unconscious, if you're correct, then we will see the Sailor Senshi's true identities when they take her with them." He said then looked over at Morganite. "Follow them, from there, we can plan a more coordinated attack, once we know who they are. When we take them out, we will take this girl to our Prince, if she is the one we're seeking."
"What if this is our only opportunity to take her?" Morganite sternly stated, then gasped watching Jasper angrily look at her.
"Don't you dare question my judgement or you will find the same fate as Carnelian-san." Jasper sneered, watching her silently nod her head.
"I will report our suspicions to the Prince, once I gain their identities." Morganite stated, watching Jasper nod his head at her statement, as he continued to watch the Sailor Senshi defending the girl.
Looking at the unconscious blonde, Jasper scoffed as Morganite vanished. 'Surely this girl isn't the one who possesses the legendary ginzuishou, she doesn't look like a Princess.'
"It's no use! We need help!" Sailor Mercury called out, watching her attack easily being deflected by the youma.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Star Gentle Uterus!"
"Star Sensitive Inferno!"
Watching the youma drop down, Sailor Star Fighter quickly looked at Sailor Mercury watching her nod her head as they both called out their attacks.
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!"
"Star Serious Laser!"
Watching the youma scream out one final time, the Sailor Senshi watched a small spider drop to the ground, dark energy expelling from the small arachnid as it scurried away.
"Odango." Sailor Star Fighter gasped, running to Usagi as the web vanished from around her. Catching her in time, Sailor Star Fighter gently lowered her to the sidewalk worriedly looking down at her. "Odango." She softly stated reaching out to caress her cheek. Watching Usagi suddenly wake, she gasped in surprise as Usagi suddenly slapped her hand away, quickly backing away from her in fear.
"Don't touch me!" Usagi yelled, seeing she was surrounded by more Sailor Senshi. "What do you want?" She demanded, fear evident in her voice.
"We're not going to hurt you." Sailor Star Fighter gently said, watching Usagi shaking her head as she backed away from her in fear. 'How is she still conscious?' She worriedly thought. Watching Usagi swiftly stand, Sailor Star Fighter watched with worry as Usagi quickly ran from them. 'We're not going to hurt you Odango.' She sadly thought.
"Sailor Mercury!" Sailor Mars happily stated, as she excitedly embraced her friend, tears shining in her eyes. "I'm so glad you're back." She said watching Sailor Mercury tearfully nod her head.
"I don't understand Sailor Mars, what's happening? Why didn't Sailor Moon and the others help?" Sailor Mercury worriedly asked.
"Let's go to the shrine, I will explain everything." Sailor Mars said, watching her friend sadly nod her head.
"Sailor Star Fighter, Usagi-chan shouldn't be alone." Luna weakly stated, looking up from Sailor Star Healer's arms as she was being carried. "Please go after her." She pleaded, watching Sailor Star Fighter nod her head before leaping off in pursuit of Usagi.
"Luna-chan, are you going to be alright?" Sailor Star Healer worriedly asked.
"I'll be fine, I just need to rest." Luna said, watching Sailor Star Healer smile and nod her head.
"You can rest at our place, I have a feeling Usagi-chan will be there shortly." Sailor Star Maker said watching Luna nodding her head at her statement.
"I don't understand how she's still conscious." Luna worriedly stated, weakly resting her head against Sailor Star Healer's arm.
Walking down the sidewalk, Usagi tightly grabbed onto the wall as she felt her vision beginning to blur. "I feel so weak." She mumbled while clutching her pounding head. Feeling herself beginning to waver, she gasped feeling someone suddenly catching her as she collapsed forward. 'I feel so safe in this embrace.' She weakly thought.
"Odango are you alright?" Seiya worriedly asked, watching her weakly look up at him.
"Sei-" Usagi weakly stated, before darkness quickly consumed her.
Lifting her into his arms, Seiya softly sighed, as he looked down at the unconscious blonde in his arms. "You're safe now." He softly stated, as he carried her the direction of his apartment, not noticing they were being watched.
Watching from above, Morganite smiled as she watched the dark haired teen carrying the blonde. 'You're a Sailor Senshi, I would not have believed it, if I had not witnessed you fading from your transformation.' She thought wickedly chuckling. Brushing her fingers against her talisman, she wickedly smiled before vanishing as she went to inform her Prince of what she had witnessed.
Feeling as if he was being watched, Seiya quickly stopped and glanced around. Not seeing anyone, he warily walked down the sidewalk, unable to shake the sudden ominous feeling settling within him. 'I feel like something is going to happen.' He worriedly thought glancing down at Usagi as she slept in his arms. 'I won't let anything happen to you Odango, I will protect you, I swear it.' He thought with determination.
(Dream)
"You must decide your future...who will you be… Neo-Queen Serenity-sama of Crystal Tokyo or Guardian and Defender of the Galaxy Eternal Sailor Moon." A strong commanding voice boomed. "Decide, or your fate will be decided for you…"
"Who are you? I don't understand!" Usagi yelled through the thick fog that surrounded her. Making out the shadows of people behind the thick fog, she tried to run through the fog to reach them. The farther she ran into the fog, the further they became from her. "Tell me what I should do!" She yelled her echo only answering her. "I don't know what to do! How do I know which one to choose?" She bitterly asked, before dropping to her knees. "I'm not either of those people, how do I know I'm not choosing the wrong one."
"What does your heart desire?" The voice boomed. "Choose wisely, one path will lead you to a life of peace and prosperity, the other path will lead you to a life of endless fighting and despair."
"Tell me which path!" Usagi begged tears streaking her cheeks. "I can't do this...I can't…" She said collapsing onto the ground her body quaking with soft sobs. Feeling the ground beginning to quake beneath her, she screamed as the ground suddenly opened beneath her dropping her into endless darkness. "No!" She screamed.
"You must make a choice!" The voice angrily echoed around her.
(End of Dream)
Gasping as she startled herself awake from her nightmare, Usagi glanced around and noticed she was lying in an unfamiliar bed. 'Where am I?' She worriedly thought, not recognizing the bedroom she was in.
"Meow!"
"Luna-chan." Usagi sighed gently lifting Luna into her arms. Tightly embracing her, she shakily sighed as tears streaked her cheeks. "I don't know what to do Luna-chan." She softly stated. "I don't know what these nightmares mean." Feeling Luna nuzzling against her cheek, Usagi swiftly looked up hearing the door open.
"You're awake." Seiya said smiling as he walked into the bedroom. "I was starting to think you would never wake." He teased.
"Where am I?" Usagi asked, watching him smile as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"My apartment, you collapsed on the way home." Seiya said, watching her turning her gaze down towards her hands, as she tried to remember the events of the day. "It's alright if you don't remember."
"What time is it?" Usagi asked, watching Seiya smile. "It's morning, I decided to skip school so I could keep an eye on you. I asked Rei-chan to call your Okaa-san and tell her you were staying the night with her, so you could rest."
"Why? Why would you go through so much trouble for me?" Usagi asked, watching Seiya smile at her.
"I would do anything for you Odango." Seiya said, nervously reaching forward and tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Did you have another nightmare?" He asked, watching her nod her head.
"Yes." Usagi softly stated, then looked up at him. "How did-"
"I stayed here with you throughout the night." Seiya said seeing her blush. "I wanted to make sure you were alright. You were struggling a lot in your sleep." He worriedly stated.
"I'm alright, it's just a dream." Usagi said, resting her hand atop of his as she looked into his warm blue eyes. "Thank you for allowing me to rest here."
"You're welcome." Seiya said, looking into her cerulean blue eyes. Feeling their gazes lock, he nervously sighed as he slowly leaned forward closing the gap between them. "Odango I-" He said, then gasped when she quickly leaned in closing the gap between them, pressing her lips against his. Closing his eyes as they shared a tender kiss, he blushed as their lips slowly parted. Seeing she was blushing as well, he smiled as he gently caressed her cheek. "You don't know how long I've hoped for this." He said watching her smile at his words.
"I don't know why I'm so drawn to you Seiya-chan." Usagi said, looking into his eyes. "I feel like I'm going against something when I'm with you, but I don't care. I feel so free around you, I feel like I can really be me." Usagi said tears streaking her cheeks.
'Oh, Usagi-chan.' Luna sadly thought, tears shining in her eyes. 'Is this how you've always felt?' Watching Seiya pull Usagi into his embrace, she quietly jumped off the bed to give the couple a moment alone.
"I feel the same way Odango." Seiya said, smiling as Usagi rested her head against his chest. "I have wanted to be with you since the moment we first met. I don't care about the consequences, I want to be with you Odango." He said, gently lacing his fingers with hers. Feeling her breath against his lips as she looked up into his eyes, he closed his eyes leaning forwards and pressing his lips against hers once more. 'I'm not losing you again.' He desperately thought, knowing he had been given a second chance to be with her.
"How sure are you this human possesses the ginzuishou?" Prince Heliodor asked, sternly looking at Morganite and Jasper.
"The Senshi made every effort to free her from my youma." Jasper said watching the Prince turn his gaze on him. "They have never reacted like this towards any others."
"I know the identity of one of the Kinmoku Sailor Senshi. Their leader, Sailor Star Fighter." Morganite stated, taking a step forward. "She is exceptionally protective of this girl."
"Morganite-san, you will continue to watch her, find out what you can from her." Prince Heliodor stated. "I do not want to exhaust energy on someone who does not possess the ginzuishou."
"Yes my Prince." Morganite stated before bowing to her Prince.
Watching Morganite vanish from the throne room, Prince Heliodor turned his attention towards his second general. "Jasper-san, devise a plan to capture this girl. If Morganite-san can confirm she is the one we have been seeking, I want her brought to me."
"Yes Prince Heliodor-sama." Jasper stated as he bowed to his Prince before vanishing.
Watching Jasper vanish from the throne room, Prince Heliodor smiled as he leaned back against his throne. "I will possess the most powerful weapon this galaxy has ever known and perhaps a wife." He wickedly stated, as he chuckled a low wicked laugh.
(Two Days Later)
"It's too quiet." Seiya softly stated as he stood on his balcony looking out at the city. "Are they planning something bigger?"
"Perhaps." Taiki said, watching Seiya glance over at him. "If this happens, and the enemy is planning a bigger attack, we will need the others."
"Luna-chan wanted us to meet Ami-chan and Rei-chan at the shrine." Yaten said softly sighing. "I will be so glad when this is over, I want to go home." He said then glanced over at Seiya. "What are you going to do when it's time to return home? She can't go with us Seiya-chan, she isn't from Kinmoku or our realm."
"I will stay here if I must." Seiya said keeping his gaze forwards.
"You're not turning your back on Princess Kakyuu-sama. We are her guardians, we have sworn our lives to her." Yaten angrily stated. "What you're speaking of is treason."
"I'm not losing her again." Seiya sternly stated, tears shining in his eyes. "I love her."
"How do you know she won't turn her back on you once she recovers her memories?" Taiki sternly asked, seeing the surprised look on Seiya's face. "You haven't thought of that possibly happening, have you?"
"No." Seiya softly stated, quickly averting his gaze from his brother's stern look.
"You're acting just like you did before." Yaten scoffed, shaking his head with disappointment. "You're trying to force yourself into a relationship that will not be possible."
"I'm not letting her go!" Seiya angrily shouted, clenching his fists at his side. "We will be together, I'm not losing her again!"
"You need to end this before you make matters worse." Taiki said, seeing tears beginning to streak Seiya's cheeks.
"I won't." Seiya softly stated. "I refuse to end what we finally have." He said abruptly turning walking back into the apartment.
Watching Seiya angrily walk into the apartment, Yaten sighed in frustration as he looked over at Taiki. "I don't know how to change his mind." He softly stated. "She's going to hurt him again, she's going to go back to Mamoru-kun."
"I know, and he's too blind from his feelings to see it." Taiki stated turning at the sound of the apartment door roughly closing as Seiya left.
"There's nothing more we can do." Yaten stated, shaking his head with frustration. "Let's go, we should be going to the shrine."
Opening the door at the sound of a knock, Ikuko stood in surprise seeing a boy around her daughter's age standing on the porch. "Can I help you?"
"Is Usagi-chan here Tsukino-san? I was wondering if I could speak with her." Seiya nervously asked, watching Usagi's mother look at him in surprise.
"Are you a friend of Usagi-san?" Ikuko asked noticing him blush. "Something more I see." She said, smiling as he only blushed more at her statement. "Come in, I will let her know you're here-?" She stated watching him quickly straighten.
"Kou Seiya."
"Seiya-san." Ikuko said, smiling as she watched the teen enter the house. "Please have a seat, she will be down shortly." She said walking the direction of the stairs.
Watching Usagi's mother walk up the stairs, Seiya smiled at how quickly he was accepted by his girlfriend's mother. 'I hope she isn't busy, I need to see you Odango.' He desperately thought.
Closing her book, Usagi tiredly sighed as she leaned back in her chair staring up at her ceiling. "I'm finally finished with my homework." She mumbled, turning when she heard Luna loudly meow and scratch at the window.
"Hold on Luna-chan." Usagi said as she walked to the window quickly raising the window. "Be careful out there my sweet friend." She said gently rubbing behind the cat's ear. Hearing Luna purr to the soft rubs, she smiled watching her cat quickly leap from the windowsill then soon disappear out of sight as she walked along the corner of the driveway. 'I wonder where she goes?' She curiously thought, then abruptly turned hearing her door open. .
"Usagi-san." Ikuko stated as she stepped into her daughter's room, smiling when her daughter abruptly turned to look at her.
"Okaa-san." Usagi said quickly turning to look at her mother.
"You have a guest waiting for you." Ikuko said, smiling at her daughter's confused look. "He's quite handsome, is Seiya-san on the baseball team with you?" She curiously asked.
"No." Usagi said, blushing a deep red as she shook her head. "He's in the same homeroom with me."
"I like him, he seems sweet." Ikuko said, watching her daughter smile.
"He is sweet Okaa-san, I think I'm falling in love with him." Usagi said, blushing once more while looking over at her mother.
"Usagi-san." Ikuko said in surprise, then sadly smiled. "You've matured so much this last year. You're not my little girl anymore." She said while sitting on the bed beside her daughter, tears shining in her eyes. "You're going to be starting college soon, then before I know it you will be married and having a family of your own."
"Okaa-san." Usagi said tears shining in her eyes as she embraced her mother.
"I love you sweetie, please take things slow with this boy." Ikuko said, watching her daughter look up and tearfully nod her head.
"I will." Usagi said, wiping some stray tears from her cheeks.
"He's waiting for you, don't keep him waiting any longer." Ikuko said, tearfully smiling at her daughter.
Nodding her head, Usagi embraced her mother once more before walking out of her bedroom.
Walking into the living room, Usagi frowned noticing Seiya was in deep thought, not yet noticing she was in the room. "Seiya-chan." She softly stated, watching him snap from his thoughts.
Abruptly looking up, Seiya smiled watching Usagi walk into the room. "Odango." He said standing and walking to where she stood. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he gently pressed his lips against hers. Feeling her kiss him back with the same intensity, he smiled at how she was blushing as their lips parted. "I'm sorry for the sudden visit." He said taking her hand, leading her to the couch. "I wanted to see you."
Smiling at his words, Usagi looked down at their joined hands as they sat on the couch. Feeling him brush his thumb against the back of her hand, she looked up into his eyes and could sense something was troubling him. "Are you alright? Is something bothering you?"
"I just have a lot on my mind right now." Seiya said softly sighing.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Usagi asked, watching him smile at her words before gently chuckling.
"No, I wish there was though." Seiya said, wishing he could help her recover her memories.
"Can you tell me what's bothering you?" Usagi curiously asked.
"Not right now I can't." Seiya said seeing her look down as she nervously averted her gaze.
"Have I done something wrong?" Usagi worriedly asked, tears shining in her eyes.
"No Odango, of course not." Seiya said gently caressing her cheek. Watching her look up into his eyes, he smiled as he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers once more. "I need to show you something, but not here." He said as their lips parted. "Can we go somewhere more private to speak?"
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Usagi asked, watching Seiya smile and nod his head at her suggestion.
"Yes, let's go for a walk." Seiya said, smiling as they stood. 'I hope I'm doing the right thing.' He worriedly thought as he followed her from the room. 'I just want you to remember who you are Odango.' He desperately thought. 'I want to know if you truly want this relationship as much as I do.'
"Where is Seiya-chan?" Luna asked noticing he was not with Taiki and Yaten.
"Probably with Usagi-chan." Yaten sighed, as he leaned against the wall. "What is this about?"
"Artemis-chan and I have been discussing this for a while, and I'm going to see if I can awaken the others through the mind meld." Luna said, watching Rei and Ami happily smile. "This enemy must be stopped."
"We need to return to Kinmoku, the longer we're here, the longer our Princess is vulnerable to danger." Taiki sternly stated. "Can you get Eternal Sailor Moon back?"
"I'm going to try." Luna said then softly sighed knowing she needed to address Seiya and Usagi's relationship. "Seiya-chan, will he-" She asked, but was abruptly interrupted by Taiki.
"He's returning to Kinmoku with us. This thing he's started with Usagi, it needs to be stopped. He cannot stay here with her, and Usagi-chan cannot return with us. She has her own duties to protect this realm as Eternal Sailor Moon." Taiki sternly stated.
"We shouldn't interfere." Luna said watching the two look at her in surprise.
"Luna-chan, what are you talking about?" Rei incredulously asked. "Mamoru-chan and Usagi-chan will be-"
"Queen Serenity-sama spoke with us the night everyone lost their memories." Luna said tears shining in her eyes. "I have something I must confess, something that was difficult for me to accept at first."
