Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Sailor Moon, I just right this out of pure enjoyment for the creations of Naoko-hime.
Teaser: Seiya is still confused by the unlikely reception given to him by Usagi.
Authors Note: I finally decided it would be good to continue on with this story now that I have a good idea where I can be going with it. You see I had it already written but I purged my system and lost it before I could upload it. So I rewrote it and personally I think this one is a lot better then the one I had before it. ^_^.

Love Born of Sorrow
Chapter 2
*********
The Next Day
Usagi sat in class her eyes peering out the window on able to concentrate on the lesson on Quadratic equations. Here it was her true love was killed and she had to sit in math class? Why did this just not make sense to anybody? Though she didn't feel ready to go to school again her mother felt it was time for her to go back and be with her friends again to get her mind off things. At first she thought it was going well until 'they' came into her room.p
**Flashback**
"Class is starting, I would like it if all of you could please take your seats for attendance." The teacher quickly went to the front of the room and opened up her class roster and looked a small note written on a little yellow post-it. "It appears class we will have three returning students to our class today." As if on que Seiya and the others walked in wearing their dark blue school fukus. "Nice of you gentlemen to join us."
"Sorry Sensei, we were on our way here when we were…well were sort of interrupted by a crowd of fans."
"Just because of your role in society as a famous music group does not give you the right to be late to my class. Now please Seiya you can sit next to Makoto, Yaten you can sit next to Usagi and…Taiki near Ami please."
Dropping her head onto her desk she wrapped her arms around her head and cried. The last thing she needed was these three in her class. Her thoughts were interrupted when a strong warm arm crossed over her shoulders. "Don't cry Usagi-chan" Looking up Usgai's eyes caught onto Yaten's shimmering emerald green eyes.
"And why not? Don't I have good reason to cry Yaten-kun?"
"I suppose you do, but answer me one thing. Why is it you believe that we are the reason Mamoru-san was killed?"
"It is just to much of a coinsendance. First Mamo-chan dies and then right after you three appear back here on earth. Doesn't that seem slightly odd to you?"
"He died in a car accident Usagi-chan…we had nothing to do with it. I feel bad for your loss but there is no point in blaming us."
"Well maybe you are right but I still don't feel good about it." Looking to her right she was locked into a gaze with Seiya which caused her to quickly turn to the front.
**End Flashback**
It seemed like now wherever she was to go they were there. In lunch and now in match class. At least this time none of them had to sit next to her. When school was finally over Usagi quickly grabbed her bags and left the buildings not even bothering to say good-bye to any of her friends. Usagi ran from the school when she realized she left her backpack sitting under her desk. I"That is so like you Usagi!" she thought as she turned back toward the school.
"Did you forget something Odango?" Turning around Usagi saw Seiya holding out her bag to her. "I was heading to your place to give it to you now I see I don't need to." Handing it to Usagi, Seiya quickly turned on his heals leaving Usagi staring at his retreating form.
"Seiya-kun!" Usagi ran up behind him.
"Nani?" Seiya looked at the passing shops not bothering to even look at Usagi.
"Arigatou, Seiya-kun" Usagi looked at Seiya one last time before leaving his side.
Seiya turned to face Usagi watching her disappear down the road. "Gomen, Usagi-chan." Stuffing his hands in his pockets of his coat Seiya continued on his head downcast.

"Seiya-kun! You much concentrate! We can't cut this record on schedule if you refused to concentrate on the songs!" The man behind the little plastic glass yelled. "You must leave whatever is bugging you outside that door and stop wasting my time!"
"Gomen Taketori!" Seiya bowed his head and turned to the guys. "One more time?" The others nodded and the three stepped up to the microphones hanging from the ceiling.
"Okay guys take it from the top." The group sang this time without any problems pleasing Taketori very much. "Very good guys we should probably think of making that one your next single." The guys nodded in response taking their headphones off. As they left the room Yaten and Taiki turned to Seiya looking quite disappointed.
"What was that all about Seiya-kun? You have never botched up songs that bad before!" Taiki raised his hands in emphasis. "Does this have to do with the discussion we had yesterday?"
"As a matter of fact it does…Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to go through with it?" Seiya slumped against the wall fiddling with his fingers. "I know you said let Yaten handle it but it's do damn hard!"
***Flashback***
Seiya stood there in shock as Usagi's crying form left the cemetery. Before he could run after her Taiki quickly grabbed his arms hindering his movements. "Taiki-kun what the hell are you doing? I have to go to her!"
"No Seiya-kun, you do not want to do that right now…" Taiki looked at Yaten for assistance which Yaten quickly gave out.
"You love Usagi, you are gonna have to give her the time and space before you go to her."
"I have no idea what you are talking about Yaten-kun! She is crying I want to help her out!"
"NO! Seiya-kun that is that last thing you want to be doing right now! If you go to her know what do you think you will be to her in the end? You certainly won't be the one she is in love with. You will just become a suitable replacement for Mamoru-san. You have let her come to you. That way if she loves you it will be fore you and not for what she is leaving behind."
"So you are telling me I should just ignore Usagi and she will warm up to me? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?"
"It may be ridiculous Seiya-kun but it's the truth." Taiki spoke up. "Let her warm up to you, don't crowd her…if you crowd her and force your feelings to her when she is not ready she will grow to love you but not for yourself…let her realize her feelings first."
"Seiya-kun, I know this probably won't make you feel any better since you do love her, but let me do all the talking. Let me warm her up for you. From what it appears she is blaming us for what happened to Mamoru…let me talk to her and ask her why. Maybe I can talk her out of it." Yaten said turning his back to the group. "We will enroll in her school again and that way you can still see her…and possibly start a friendship. That will be the perfect foundation for the romance you are seeking." Walking away without another word as to not get any objections Yaten left the cemetery.
***End Flashback***
Yaten and the others stood side by side in the elevator not a word passing between them. Though it was hard they managed to convince Seiya that was they were doing was what had to be done. When they left the building Yaten was greeted by a black cat jumping into his arms. "Yaten-kun"
"Ah, Luna, good to see you again ." With a smile Yaten broke up from the group waving his free hand in the air. "See you guys later!" Luna and Yaten went on a short walk around the park. "So Luna, how is she doing?"
"Not to good I'm afraid, ever since Mamoru has left she's been totally confused more of the fact that they had seen their future and here it was to the fact that he died before they even married. I can understand her confusion. I tried asking Pluto but she just says the same thing. 'The future is something you build yourself, don't let what you know rule your destiny.' Can she get any more cryptic?" Both of them broke into a chuckle.
"I don't think I should be telling you this, the main reason we are here is because of Seiya…Our princess sensed his love for Usagi-chan and felt she was better of here, where he could be with her."
"Ooh, and what does he plan on doing about this situation."
"Though it was hard we told him not to pursue it directly, to let Usagi-chan warm up to him herself."
"Good, that's good advice, if there is anything I can do to help just let me know." With a wink Luna leapt up onto his shoulder. "Though he's not Mamoru, I feel Seiya-kun would be good for Usagi, and honestly I think Mamoru would feel that if any other man were to be with Usagi he would want it to be Seiya. Least then he would know she was being cared for."
***
Seiya stood beneath Usagi's windows watching her brush her hair this way and that before turning and walking away. A small year burned it's way down his cheek as he thought of how much it would bother him to ignore his Odango. Head downcast he continued down the street.

That is the end of Chapter 2. Another case of the shorts but I've been having an AWFULLY hard time writing lately. ; . ; Well I do hope you enjoyed this installment…probably wasn't what you expected. Hell it wasn't exactly what I expected either but here is where I'm going with it…nobody can fall out of love with someone THAT quickly…so there has to be a transitional period…and since Seiya at the moment is blinded by hid live for our Usagi he isn't seeing that point in it all. Okay I'm babbling –lmao- Read and Review please!!! Send any comments, flames, recipes to Aya_Chan_Fujimiya@hotmail.com
