"Usagi-chan," said a gentle female voice.

"Usagi," said another female voice.

"Koneko (kitten)," said another female voice.

Usagi felt herself floating around in an endless space. She couldn't remember what she was doing before she arrived here, but the voices that were calling to her felt… familiar. More voices accompanied the first three, calling out her name, before one particular one rang out. It wasn't soft and gentle like the first. It wasn't cheery like a few of them. This female voice was more demanding than all the others. "Oi (Hey)," shouted a female voice, "Odango (Dumpling)! Okiro (Wake up)!"

"Rei-chan," chided a female voice, "She just defeated the Jakoku Suishō."

"And broke the Ginzuishō in the process," chided another female voice.

"It's no wonder she doesn't want to wake up," said another.

Usagi could now hear an argument burst out between the others and… Rei?! Usagi gasped when she heard Rei's name come out from a female as images about her battle against the combined persona of Jadeite and Rubeus came into her mind. Sitting up from her floating state, Usagi's eyes snapped open and surveyed her surroundings. She could see whitish pink as the dominate color of the space she was floating in and, in front of her, were seven glowing crystals. She lifted her arms as the crystals shone brighter and brighter before she felt that she could see again. When she lowered her arms, she gaped in surprise when she saw… "Mina (Everyone)," exclaimed Usagi.

- With The Others –

"W-What do we do," asked Otoya as he held Usagi in his arms.

"I-I don't know," said Hotaru before turning to Setsuna, "Setsuna-mama?"

Everyone yelled out in horror when they saw Usagi lying on the floor, the fragments of the Ginzuishō surrounding her. They all scrambled in their tired states towards Usagi. It was Otoya who got to Usagi first as he carefully laid Usagi in his arms, the others surrounding the two once they came near. Everyone had tears in their eyes, but Natsuki was the one who was openly crying. Usagi was a part of their friendship group, and this reality of her being dead felt like a stab to their hearts. Of course, Otoya was bottling his actual feelings for the girl up as he held Usagi tighter. There were so many chances to tell the girl in his arms his feelings, but now… it was futile. When Hotaru whimpered out Setsuna's name, everyone turned towards Setsuna for an answer as well. "This has happened a couple of times, though one stands out the most," said Setsuna.

"Well," said Yaten, "Out with it!"

"It was when a Makaiju (Makai Tree) alien, just like Ail and Ann, came to Earth to kidnap Endymion-ōji," said Setsuna, "He, Fiore, was controlled by the evil Xenian Flower and was saved by Serenity-hime. However, the Inners, Endymion-ōji, and Serenity-hime were on a comet that was heading towards Earth. With the last of her strength and the combined powers of the Inners and Endymion-ōji, Serenity-hime saved Earth and stopped the comet, yet the Ginzuishō also shattered at that time."

"D-Demo, she was alive," said Hotaru, "I SAW her alive with Chibi-Usa before I even realized I was the cause of THAT disaster."

"Hai," said Setsuna, "With the kiss of love from Endymion-ōji, he revived Serenity-hime and the Ginzuishō became one once more."

Once they heard that, everyone turned to Otoya who looked at everyone in confusion. Everyone knew that the Golden Crystal's power was what did it to revive Usagi in that incident and were wondering if Otoya gave Usagi the same kiss as her past love, Usagi would be revived. Otoya was quickly to realize what everyone wanted him to do as his red eyes became wide in surprise. Otoya quickly shook his head at what the others were thinking about. It wasn't like he DIDN'T want to do it, but with everyone watching? It was nerve-wracking. "N-Nani," asked Otoya.

"Ikki," said Ren, "YOU can revive little rabbit!"

"Sō (Yeah)," exclaimed Shō, "Didn't that Pegasus horse dude give you the Golden Crystal?"

"Nani," exclaimed Jadeite.

"Oh yes," said Seiya who explained it to Jadeite, "You were evil, so you don't know that Helios gave the Golden Crystal to the next chosen Earth Prince."

"D-Demo, Endymion-sama…," started Jadeite.

"Uh, yeah," said a hesitant Taiki, "H-He died a year ago?"

"Uso (Lie)," exclaimed Jadeite in shock.

- With Usagi –

"Mina," exclaimed Usagi.

"Usagi-chan, you worked hard, ne (right)," said a smiling Michiru.

"Of course," exclaimed Minako, "We all saw her dominated that Kōgyoku guy."

Usagi couldn't believe that the seven shining crystals were her past protectors and lover. She could see Mamoru smiling at her with happiness and love while the other Senshi were debating on how hard she tried to save her new friends. She turned to Minako and Rei arguing about something… maybe about her battle?... before turning to see a smiling Haruka and Michiru looking at her with proud eyes. "We are so happy that you have decided to be a part of Saotome Academy, koneko," said Haruka.

"You are fulfilling your longtime dream," said a smiling Michiru gently.

"And speaking of Saotome Academy," piped up Makoto, "I can't believe you are surrounded by cute guys all the time!"

"Cute guys," asked Minako who stopped her argument, "Where?"

"Baka (Idiot)," muttered Rei before speaking out loud, "They are talking about Usagi being IN Saotome Academy."

"Oh," said Minako before smiling brightly at Usagi, "I knew that there was SOMETHING being hidden from us."

"Usagi-chan, we are so happy that you had moved on to find new friends," said Ami.

"And possibly a new love," said Mamoru encouragingly.

Usagi bit her lip as she shook her head. Of course, she found new friends, but they wouldn't… couldn't… replace the ones that are in front of her. Her Senshi that were right in front of her smiled sadly as they all gathered around Usagi, Mamoru pulling his past lover into his arms. All seven of them comforted Usagi and reminded her that they would always be watching over her. Usagi didn't understand why they would remind her that when she, herself, was dead. Didn't the Ginzuishō get destroyed? She remembered it being splintered and shattered after using the last of her strength. The other Senshi, however, knew that Usagi didn't understand. They all knew that the Ginzuishō would be repaired by the Golden Crystal once more, just like when Mamoru did it for her during the Fiore incident. They were prepared though when Usagi asked that one thing, "W-What do you mean? A-Aren't I dead?"

"Hime," said Michiru, "I know that you want to stay with us, but…"

"It's not your time to join us," said Ami.

"N-Not my time," asked Usagi, "Of course it is! The G-Ginzuishō… it shattered and that's why I'm here, isn't it?"

"Īe, Usako," said Mamoru.

"Mamo-chan," questioned Usagi.

"You are in the in-between, Usagi-chan," said Minako, "You could either move on or go back."

"M-Mina," said Usagi sadly, "I WANT to stay with you, but…"

"You KNOW that we are not going to let you do that, ne," said a solemn Makoto.

Usagi nodded her head as she buried her head into Mamoru's chest. She could still feel the love that the Inners, the two Outers, and Mamoru had for her in this vast space. However, she also knew that they were here to convince her to go back to the others. But, the thing was… did she REALLY want to go?

- With The Others –

"Anyways," said Masato before turning to Otoya, "Ittoki, please try something."

"I…," started Otoya.

Otoya couldn't take the pressure. He knew that he probably had the power to heal Usagi, but through a kiss of love? It felt like he was confessing to Usagi and right in front of everyone too! His cheeks was stained pink as he rubbed his head awkwardly. Everyone, however, took that as a sign that he wasn't willing to actually DO what they thought would help. It wasn't like Otoya WANTED to NOT do anything. Besides, what happened if Usagi woke up from the kiss and… well, Otoya couldn't handle rejection. That's why his Jakoku Suishō fear was about everyone finding out about his hidden sadness and rejecting him after finding out. "We shouldn't pressure Ittoki-san," said Cecil.

"Yes," said Natsuki, "If he doesn't want to, then we should think of something else to help Usa-chan."

"You are right," said Hotaru, "But, what CAN we do?"

"Try to pull our energy to hers," suggested Tokiya.

"Our powers COULD work, in theory," said Setsuna, "But, it won't be as powerful. We would be drained of energy before that could happen."

The others looked down in disappointment. They wished they had the power to revive Usagi, just like what she did with all of her Senshi protectors and friends long ago. As the others looked down, Jadeite could see conflicting emotions from Otoya's face. He knew that this Otoya was his new prince that he had to protect and could kind of read his emotions easily. He knew that if Otoya DID to that, he was afraid of being rejected by the Princess and ridiculed for having these feelings by the others. Mustering up his courage, Jadeite asked the one thing that made the others look at the two. "Ittoki Otoya-san," said Jadeite.

"A-Ah, hai," asked Otoya.

"I just have to ask," said Jadeite, "But, do YOU truly love Serenity-hime?"

"Nani," questioned STARISH.

"T-That's ridiculous," said Masato.

"Sō," said Shō, "We all know that he has feelings for Nanami… j-just like… me."

"You," exclaimed STARISH.

"B-But, I have feelings for her," said Cecil.

"You too," asked STARISH together.

Hotaru, Setsuna, the Starlights, and Jadeite sweat-dropped when they found out that STARISH's composer, Nanami Haruka, had so many admirers. However, that wasn't what was supposed to be focused on. They were supposed to focus on HOW to revive Usagi, not this LOVE WAR between the STARISH members. Otoya gritted his teeth as he reevaluated his feelings for both girls. Sure, he HAD feelings for Nanami, but that just turned into a sibling-type friendship. His feelings for Usagi was much deeper, especially when he realized that he REALLY wanted to make Usagi always smile brightly and happily. In the midst of the arguing, Otoya brought everyone back to him by one murmured statement. "Hai," murmured Otoya.

"What was that," asked Jadeite.

"H-Hai," proclaimed Otoya, "I have feelings for U-Usagi-chan!"

"I knew it," exclaimed Hotaru.

"You aren't the only one," said Taiki, "We saw how Otoya would be with Usagi-chan."

As the Starlights and Hotaru talked about insistences of Otoya trying to cheer Usagi up, STARISH looked at Otoya in astonishment. They really thought Otoya had really strong feelings for Nanami Haruka, but they were wrong. Thinking back, Tokiya remembered how Otoya looked sad when he explained how Usagi looked depressed all the time and him wanting to make her smile. The others also heard about how Otoya came to Usagi and Hotaru to ask Usagi to be his partner in the final exam, but was semi-rejected before asking Nanami Haruka. They all realized that it was Otoya who was pushing to cheer Usagi up, always including her and, in extension, Hotaru to their outings, and unconsciously seeking Usagi out in the lunch rooms. "How did WE miss that," exclaimed Shō.

"I can definitely see Ikki and little rabbit as a cute couple," said Ren thoughtfully.

"Less competition for Nanami's heart," said a nodding Cecil.

"Anyways," said Jadeite who quieted everyone down, "Ittoki-san, if you love Usagi… truly love Usagi, then you know what you have to do."

Otoya gulped as all eyes fell onto him again. After confessing that, yes, he DOES have feelings for Usagi, all eyes were anticipating a miracle. He didn't know if he had that kind of miracle to revive Usagi, but… at least, he'll know how her lips feel like, right? Otoya gulped once more as he looked down onto Usagi's peaceful face before lowering his face to hers, his face turning brilliant red. Just as his lips pressed onto Usagi's, everyone turned away due to a bright golden light.

- With Usagi –

"Usako," said Mamoru, "Once you wake up, please give whoever it is a chance."

Usagi had tears in her eyes as she realized that her Senshi, her friends, were not going to let her stay. They all comforted her, but that comfort was short-lived. She knew that she would be going back because she promised to become the best composer ever… for her friends. They all smiled at Usagi, each having tears in their eyes. Each of them departed one by one, telling Usagi how proud of them they were about Usagi entering Saotome Academy and moving on with her life. They also disappeared with Usagi knowing that she was looked out for. It was not just Mamoru and Usagi in the empty space, Mamoru finally giving a final advice to his past lover. "I-I'll try," said Usagi.

"I know you will," said Mamoru, "Besides, I've watched how you and he became close."

"M-Mamo-chan," said Usagi sadly.

"Our love was once there," said Mamoru, "But, it is time to find a new love, Usako. BE happy."

Usagi nodded her head as she listened to Mamoru's final words. He really DID want Usagi to be happy, and if it was with this Ittoki Otoya character, he will be all for it… even IF he doesn't mention his name out loud. Smiling one final time, Mamoru pulled Usagi into a kiss before a bright golden light surrounded them.

- With The Others –

"Ugh," moaned Usagi.

After the blinding flash of golden light, the light subsided for all to see. There, in front of them, was Otoya and Usagi sharing their first kiss… ever. They could faintly see an outline of golden light around the two, indicating that the Golden Crystal was involved. They slowly saw the Ginzuishō gather together within Usagi's broken broach before a small flash of silver light surrounded the broach. Said broken broach repaired itself in front of their very eyes before revealing the magnificent shine of the Ginzuishō. When they heard Usagi moan out, Otoya quickly pushed her towards the arms of Hotaru before backing away. He really was not going to like the consequences of where this was going to go. "Hime," questioned Hotaru.

"'T-Taru-chan," murmured Usagi.

"Yokatta (Good)," sighed Hotaru in relief, "Ittoki-san did it."

"Otoya," questioned Usagi in a whisper.

"Hai," said Setsuna gently as she too went towards the girls.

"'Tsuna-chan," murmured Usagi, "I saw…"

"Hime," questioned Setsuna.

"…I saw the others," said Usagi with a gentle smile, "They sounded so happy and peaceful."

Setsuna and Hotaru had gathered tears in their eyes at Usagi's implication. She really WAS in the in-between and only Otoya's love and magic would have saved her. The Starlights, who were quick to come near the three Senshi, gaped in surprise by Usagi's implication. That meant that her Senshi were living peaceful afterlives. Some of that guilt they felt faded away, but not by much. As the seasoned Senshi gathered around Usagi, Otoya's face was still flaming red as STARISH went towards him, Tokiya's hand clasped on his shoulder. "You did good, Otoya," said Tokiya.

"H-Hai," said Otoya with an embarrassed flushed still on his face.

"So… are they together," asked an amused Natsuki, "Because if they are, they would be cute together!"

"E-Eh," said Otoya, "Ch-chotto matte (W-Wait a minute)!"

"I'll support them together," said Cecil.

"Me too," said Shō and Ren.

"However, if they DO get together," said Masato, "What about Saotome-san's rule?"

As STARISH stopped their conversation to realize that Masato was right, the seasoned Senshi were helping Usagi up and walking towards Jadeite. Usagi was curious about Jadeite, but Jadeite surprised her by bowing in front of her, asking for her forgiveness. Usagi, kindhearted as always, smiled gently and told Jadeite that he was welcome to become her guard instead. Jadeite looked at Usagi in awe at how forgiving the Princess was towards everything he did, but he smiled and pledged his allegiance to her. It wasn't until they turned to STARISH to see them looking forlorn. "What's wrong," asked Seiya, "We should be happy!"

"We just realized that IF Usagi and Otoya dated, then they break the rule President Saotome set for us," said a frowning Shō.

"Also," piped up Cecil, "I think we should find my parents. looks down a bit before looking back up T-There is something you all need to hear from them, especially from my mother."

AN: Usagi lives! ヾ(^ ^ゞ By the power of Otoya's love! (ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ I think I did alright with this chapter… Usagi got her closure from her Senshi, especially from Mamoru-san, ne? (^^)ｂ But, now, Cecil's mother has something to say? And about the rule… what's going to happen with the story now?! ◎ܫ◎ You just have to stay tuned to the NEXT chapter to find out! ^.~ Anyways, happy reading and see ya next chapter! |-^)v
