Betrayal sure hurts! It cuts thru your soul, like a sharp knife. Surely there was so much pain in Seiya's soul, that made her cringe every time she recalled everything that happened between her and the Moon Princess. She refused to take care of her tasks . At first she sunk herself into her duties, but afterwards the pain was unbearable. Even Kakyu, the Princess of The Olive scented planet, began to have doubts that her soldier was alright. She now decided to summon the other two soldier, who were seemingly in the same situation as their fellow soldier.

"Why did she call for us Maker?" Healer was curios as always.

"I have absolutely no idea." she responded.

"And where is Fighter?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

"Come on... you always have the right answer. "

"Since we have returned, believe me I started doubting everything I have known until now."

"Great!" the two of them stopped at the door, which was the door leading to Kakyu's chamber. "Here we are?"

"Yes..." the tall starlight gazed at the door and swallowed hard. The door opened up in front of them. " Let's go inside."

"Yeah...let's!" The door widely open, they took a few steps inside, now they were surrounded by four olive green walls. The curtains were a thick red velvet that hung in generous folds around the windows. The Princess has been waiting for them for quit a while now.

"Healer, Maker!"

"Princess we are sorry for being late...We.."

'It is alright .." she interrupted her soldier. "I called for you because I want to know, what happened exactly during your visit to Earth."

"Princess...I do not know how to tell you..."

"My dear Starlights, I am worried about you. First of all you were supposed to stay until the wedding...Instead you returned so suddenly and everything about you changed. I can see in your a eyes a deep sadness, there is no longer hope, nor happiness. And Fighter changed. She has been neglecting her duties and she spends most of her time locked up on her room. And you Healer, my dear you are walking around silently, I miss the way you used to joke around with everyone. And Maker, I have noticed that the only thing you read about is how sad is to be in love, how life became miserable without the person you love. I know you my dear Starlights, we have been thru so much together...You became more than just soldier, you are like family to me. It is hard for to see that something is eating up your souls, day by tell me what happened?" There was real concern in her voice, she was like a caring mother, who wanted to take away her children's pain. The Starlights just stood there silently listening to her questioning. What could they say? The truth, the painful truth.

"Princess, we had to come back, there was no staying on earth for us anymore." said Maker with a small voice.

"I wanna know what happened!" Their ruler demanded an answer, she was stubborn enough to keep them there until they confess everything. Although there was nothing to confess, they did nothing wrong. How come to be in love is considered to be something awful, they didn't commit a crime. Or did they? No! absolutely not. It was supposed to be the moist beautiful thig they ever did, falling in love. Now come to think of it was all a big mistake, because the people they fell in love with were millions of miles away and even if they were close, it might have been awkward to be together. The short Starlight swallowed hard an was just about to confess, she couldn't take it anymore.

"It was our love that brought us back here, My Princess..."

"Love?"

"Yes love...a love that is impossible , it hard to carry within our souls..." Healer's eyes started filling up with tears.

"Healer stop it!" Maker found it inappropriate to talk about what happened, she was always reserved when came to her fillings.

"Maker...I wanna know..."

"But Princess maybe we shouldn't it is our fault..."

"What is exactly your fault?" the voice of the Princess was shaky and she was starting to worry. Suddenly there was a firm knock on the door, it came quietly at first and there was silence. "Who is it?" the Princess wondered who could that be, it should have been obvious, but it wasn't.

"It is me, Princess!" came a firm affirmation from behind the closed door.

"Fighter! Come inside..." the Princess invited her inside her chamber.

"Thank you." she stepped inside the chamber, you could cut tension with a knife. Fighter knew she was late. She also felt everyone in the room gazing at her, it felt uncomfortable.

"Healer was about to tell me what happened on Earth..."

"Oh...I see..."

"You know, my dear Fighter I am especially worried about you. The leader of the Starlights should not be neglecting any of her duties and my orders."

"I am deeply sorry. It has been a rough period."

"Tell me what is this impossible love Healer is talking about?"

"Nothing!" Fighter wanted to deny everything, but her eyes couldn't hide the truth, the sadness caused by her feeling for Usagi.

"Please don't lie to me." The Princess was getting upset.

"Princess... We..." Healer wanted to continue with what she said, but suddenly she was interrupted by Fighter.

"Let me tell her. This entire situation and us returning back so suddenly was all my fault. I did something awful."

"My dear Fighter, something awful? You?"

"Yes me! My feeling for Odango, I mean Sailor Moon deepened and we got dangerously close to each other almost changing the course of her destiny. I messed up big time , I know . Unfortunately for Healer and Maker developed their feelings for other two senshies. I was selfish, I wanted to be with her so bad I forgot she already had her destiny laid down may centuries before we met. I should have thought about this before we left... I never knew her feelings for me were also strong..."

"My gosh...I suspected you loved her, but ..."

"I was unable to control my feeling, my desires. She was like the air breath, I needed her t survive. We really thought we stand a chance together, but the truth is I aimed way to high... I am only a soldier, who dared to lay an eye on Princess, who was destined to be with someone else. So to avoid causing her more pain, in order for her daughter to live, I had to leave her, come back once again and learn how to survive without her love, her being next to me."

"Fighter, love is never something we should regret. My dear, I cannot imagen what are you going thru. Healer, Maker what happened to you?" The shortest Starlight shed a teardrop for the senshie of Love, whom was the only person who really understood her, knew her, loved her.

"Princess...There is no use talking about it anymore. We will burry our feelings deep down in our hearts. We couldn't leave Fighter alone in this. Along their Princess the soldiers are destined to live and serve her. They will follow her in her destiny. They are right you know..." her voice almost choked. "Duty is above everything...And now if you will excuse me, I have to go..." With that the short Starlight bursts out from the chamber, she ran straight to her room, she slammed the door behind her as hard as she could. Love hurt they say, but this time she felt like it was "killing" her. Minako's smile was all that she could see, hear, she could smell the fruity smell of her perfume. It was harder than she thought.

"Healer!" Fighter shouted out after her, but she was long gone.

"Leave her..."

"But Princess..."she turned around suddenly , she herself wanted to get out of there, but she couldn't just leave.

"Fighter, she is clearly hurt. She needs to be alone in this."

"I understand her...May i retire in my room?" Maker needed some time alone.

"Yes..." Kakyu nodded, giving permission for her soldier to rest. She knew the pain all this conversation was causing them.

"Thank you!" she turned around, she gave Seiya a look and she left too.

"Princess, I just wanted to say how sorry I am we brought nothing but shame to you."

"Shame? You really think I am ashamed of you? Why? Because you fell in love?"

"I fell in love with the wrong person...she is a Princess...and I am ..a nobody..."

"That is true, she is Princess, but you are somebody who cared for her while you were on Earth. We cannot control who we fell in love with. Sailor Moon is just someone who was meant to do great things."

"Yes, she is..." Fighter nodded in agreement.

"They say destiny is something we cannot fight against..."

"Her feelings for me caused her daughter to fade away...I insisted, because I knew somewhere deep inside she had feelings for me. Once those feelings came to surface we almost...Never mind...I made the decision of coming home, so her child could have the chance to live."

"So what you are saying that you changed destiny..."

"Not yet, it would have changed if we stayed..."

"I see...do you think your sacrifice helped her?"

"Yes..."she said firmly, looking her Princess straight into her eyes.

"Good...I would like you to take a rest. You cannot fulfill your duties while being distracted. Now go to your room and when you are ready you may return to what ever there is to do. Fighter went to her room and started writing, writting down her thoughts helped her ease the pain. "I can't live without you, anymore. Without you Odango, what is the purpose of my existence? Damn it...This song is for you Odango...

Hello, Hello, I'm here again,

I had to come back to you and maybe stay

I know, I know, you haven't seen me in a long time,

Whatever you say, the fire of understanding burns in your eyes.

I would put the thought into words, but I' am afraid I don't care,

Unfortunately, the sentences do not come together,

I didn't come here, that's not what I wanted

I only got hope for the journey, I am the eternal passer-by,

That all my sins are forgivable.

Hello, hello, I didn't disappear

I was only on a distant planet with my eyes closed.

But these eyes opened slowly.

It still shines on you

Tears tremble in them

because I see I am blind.

I would put the thoughts into words, but I am afraid you won't care

Unfortunately, the sentences do not come together,

I didn't come here, that's not what I wanted

I only got hope for the journey, I am the eternal passer-by,

That all my sins are forgivable.

om. The Princess sighted, her heart ached for her soldiers. She went next to the window, upon the the sky three stars kept on disappearing and reappearing. "What does this mean? Those three star keep reappearing ever since my Starlights left. No sailor soldier was born recently...Something is of...Maybe the decision of coming back was in vain...Destiny already changed...Maybe it's way to late for Sailor Moon too...

Crystal Tokyo

After she had met Atsuki, Chibiusa could only recall her words "Her heart belongs to the Star, she is no longer the prisoner of Sun…"The earthquake was no coincidence. "Who was this girl I met?" Chibiusa couldn't stop thinking about her. She was all alone in the small house , near the palace. Pluto returned shortly after she made sure her Princess will be alright.

"Small Lady?" she notice how silent the child was.

"Yes?"

"Is there something going on, you have been awfully quiet all day." the senshie smiled at her, but she was worried at the same time.

"Well...I had a dream...I think...It was a dream..."
'What kind of dream?"

"I met a girl in my dreams?"

"What girl?"

"Well I don't really know...She just said some strange things to me..." Chibiusa tried to avoid answering, but Pluto was getting worried.

"Like what?"

"Well thing like...she is sorry for taking a way my chance to live, and that Usagi's heart belongs to the Star, she is no longer the prisoner of the Sun..."

"What else?" Pluto grabbed Chibiusa by the shoulder.

"Well...That she deserves a chance to live too...But it was just a dream...Right Pu? Pu?"

"Sure..."Pluto's voice was convinced that the worst is gone.

"Good , then the fact that my hands are fading has nothing to do with this girls right?" Chibiusa showed her hands to the senshie of time who's face went all pale.

"NO! this cannot be...We made sure ...They are gone! How is this still possible?"

"Who is gone Pu? What is going on?" the child was scared.

"Oh, my gosh Small Lady...This wasn't supposed to happen..."

"Am I dying?" she asked her bluntly. Pluto kept on looking at her.

"I won't allow anything to happen to you."

"Pu, I am scared!"
" I know...I know...Something went terribly wrong...But what?"

Time was ticking slowly, but surely and it wasn't in their favor. Something got messed up on the way. Pluto rushed back to find out what happened. With the Starlights out of the way, Atsuki was gone, Small Lady should have been fine, but she was still on the edge of disappearing.
