Notes : Boy...this just got really sappy and cheesy. Teehee.
Glowing Stars part 6a
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Sailor Moon felt her hands tremble as she held starfighter. And for a while, everything
around her seemed to have ceased moving. She reminisced. Remembering Seiya, calling her
Odango, she hated that. She remembered Seiya teaching her to play softball, she hated that game.
She remembered Seiya with his red jacket and rose, she hated him for reminding her of Mamo-
chan. She remembered when Seiya protected her from that villain, she hated him for risking his
life, for her. She remembered the day when Seiya said, "I'll never forget you," and her response
to it, silly innocent Usagi who couldn't comprehend his feelings. Silly Usagi...silly silly Usagi...
A single tear fell from her blue eye. "No more..." she murmured, "no more killing..." she
turned to the senshi, "onegai." There was a glint in her eye, and all the earth senshi caught it. The
orders from their princess, the light and hope from their princess...restored.
And they gave her a smile, with tears in their eyes.
"Minna. I believe in you." Usagi avowed. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER!!!!"
A blinding pale light ignited from Sailor Moon as she became Serenity.
"MERCURY PLANET POWER!!"
"VENUS PLANET POWER!!"
"MARS PLANET POWER!"
"JUPITER PLANET POWER!"
"SATURN PLANET POWER!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER!"
"NEPTUNE PLANET POWER!"
"PLUTO PLANET POWER."
Nine princesses gathered power from their planet and hope for the universe. The powers
combined and became a ball of energy. Then the senshi, together, hurled the ball toward Nautica.
"They are truly THE Sailor Senshi." StarMaker said.
"Hai...they are remarkable." Healer stammered.
Minutes later, a cry of pain was heard as the energies exploded.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Usagi moaned softly as she opened her heavy eyelids. She felt as if she had slept for 100
years. The scenery in front of her was overwhelmingly...white.
But then she heard a voice. A low gentle voice calling out her name...no not her name...
"U-sa-ko."
She looked up, darting around, searching for the sonorous voice.
"Usa.." and he was right in front of her.
Right there in front of her.
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi blinked in disbelief "Mamo-chan..." she ran toward him..
And went right through.
Usagi pivoted back to face Mamoru, her face astonished as extended her slender fingers
toward him. They went through.
She pulled back.
"Usako. I'm proud of you." Mamoru whispered.
"Why can't I feel you Mamo-chan?" her voice ghastly.
"Because I'm dead my Usagi." he touched her. She felt... nothing.
"Why did you leave me Mamo-chan?" Usagi started, "you were suppose to stay with me!
You were suppose to protect me, my prince, my knight, my destiny, my fate..."
He held up him finger against her lips. "Gomen ne...Usa."
She sobbed. "Why...why leave..."
"Usako, promise me one thing. That you'll love with your heart and not your mind."
She looked up.
"Don't try to hinder what your heart is telling you, let it out my Usako, let it out..." he
faded. "With your heart..." he traced his fingers toward her heart.
"Mamo-cha..." Usagi woke up, pairs of concerned eyes looked upon her.
"Are you okay Usagi?" Rei asked, feeling her forehead.
"Wha...what happened to me?" Usagi asked.
"Oh, just a fainting spell for the princess," Minako smiled.
"Nautica... Nautica...where.."
"We defeated her Usagi." Ami smiled, "everything's okay now."
"Everything..." Usagi murmured. "Sei-ya," she articulated.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
They said he was going to be okay. That he would wake up any minute. But Usagi wasn't
convinced, for Seiya was so pale and so cold. She slipped her hand into his, offering her warmth
and love.
"Wake up. Seiya," she whispered. "Everything's okay now. Everything's at peace
now...won't you wake up Seiya? Ne? Onegai?" she pleaded.
"Gomen, you must be wondering why I'm acting like this." she brought his hand against
her cheek. "I mean, you probably think Usagi doesn't get it. That... I don't get your feelings
toward me." she smiled, "Iie Seiya. I know how you feel toward me, but I'm scared Seiya. I
don't know how to let myself go...let go of destiny."
"Do you believe in destiny Seiya?" she continued, "because I did. And that's why I
pushed you away. Because, because my destiny, my fate was with Mamo-chan..."
A pause, "but what is destiny really? What is destiny without love?" another pause, "I
loved Mamo-chan right? I mean, otherwise I wouldn't have married him right? I did love him...I
loved him..." Usagi frowned, becoming skeptical "I loved him when I found out we were in love
back on the moon."
"Oh..."
There were soft knocks on the door. But Usagi seem to be in a frozen state of realization.
"Usagi." Setsuna entered the room, she had a flimsy piece of paper in her hand.
"Setsuna-san." Usagi replied.
Setsuna found a seat by Usagi, "how is he?"
"I don't know. But they say he's going to be okay."
"Good..."
"Setsu.."
"Usa..." The two started simultaneously.
"You first." Usagi allowed.
"I just found your letter." Setsuna explained.
"Oh..."
"Hai." Setsuna had a disturbed look, "what were you thinking?"
"I don't know. That there's no point to live on."
"And what changed your mind?"
"Minna-san...you were all looking at me like I'm needed."
"Of course Usagi. We need you. You are part of us."
"Arigato." A pause, "Setsuna?"
"Nani?"
"Do you believe in destiny?"
Setsuna laughed, "it depends, I believe destiny is just harsh reality. You have to accept it
whether you like it or not. Demo...it's up to you on whether you want to control your destiny."
"Hai..."
"Why?"
Usagi shrugged.
"Are you going to be okay Usagi-chan?"
"Hai. I'll be fine."
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
And the wind it blew, claiming those silver leaves. They fell, one by one, until even the
strongest one broke from the branch and dwindled to the ground, just like its precarious
siblings...
Yaten took a note at this, how hopeless everything appeared. Why is it that sometimes, no
matter how hard you try; no matter how much piety you pay; everything still slaps you in the
face?
"It's my destiny Yaten!" she cried, "it doesn't matter what I want!."
"So is that it? You are willing to be ruled by destiny?"
"Do you hear me at all!? I can't help it. I can't help if my destiny says I'm a sailor senshi,
I can't help it if I can't be with you. I can't..." a soft sob escaped from her lips, hearing her cry
made him tremble. He had wanted so much to gather her in his arms and tell her...tell her...
But that's when he ran out, a fugitive fleeing, hoping to find some answers. Because he
doesn't know the answers; and not knowing was killing him.
They were two worlds apart. No, two galaxies. No, two gazillion galaxies. Right, he got
that part.
It is hopeless isn't it? Why is love such a complex thing? Why can't it be like math,
where everything is equation and all you have to do is apply it?
Given: Yaten loves Minako
Minako loves Yaten
She has to go, and he has to stay
Prove: they can be together
"Shimatta." Yaten murmured. 'Well, I never was good at proofs.' He threw away the
twig. "And life use to be so simple too."
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
The morning sunlight stirred a fatigued Seiya, but his immediate lethargy turned to
confusion when he saw a mop of blonde hair on top of his knees. The mess of hair, had a
distinctive shape.
'Odango?' he thought. "Odango?" he questioned.
A small yawn escaped from her lips, "lemme go back to..." but then she blinked,
receiving pure radiation from the sun. She looked up, "Seiya..."
"What are you doing here Odango?" Seiya asked innocently.
"Seiya!" She cried in delight. "You're okay! You're okay!" Usagi flew toward him,
crushing his frame with her tight embrace.
"Oi, I appreciate the enthusiasm but..." he suddenly noticed her sad face. "What's
wrong?"
Usagi shook her head, "I'm, I'm just so glad that your okay." a small whimper, "don't
ever risk yourself again, you hear?"
Seiya, for a second was amazed, astonished and confused all at once. But within gazes of
her face, he softened his expression. "Odango..."
"Gomen ne." she wiped her tears away, "I'm really happy, really, I am. I don't know...I
dont know why I'm..." hiccup, "crying." but the tears won't stop.
"Usagi." he wiped her tears with his thumb, one by one, "you never cease to amaze me.
You save the world with your strength and you still cry like a little girl." he laughed, but there
were tears in his eyes too. "There." he swept the wetness under her blue eye, "all better."
But Seiya's hand didn't leave Usagi's face. His fingers streaked toward her chin, lifting it
slightly. Usagi stared as she parted her lips, she felt as if she were lost in his eyes...his blue blue
eyes...
And then she felt his lips on hers, barely touching, just brushing it slightly but so
tenderly. She closed her eyes and drew a breath. Swinging her arms around his as his lips
became more daring, and she too, responded to her impulses, letting her heart out, letting it guide
her the path.
And then a low groan came from Seiya as he stopped.
"What's, what's wrong?" Usagi stared.
"Odango, I...I can't."
"Can't what?"
"I can't do this when you are vulnerable because Mamoru just died and..."
Usagi widened her eyes. "Is that why you think I'd do this?" she asked.
Seiya stared.
Usagi closed her eyes, "you..." she couldn't find any words.
So she ran.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
In the main ballroom of the Kinmoku Palace, people swarmed around like fishes in the
sea. They all had there own destination of course, some walking around carrying decorations,
some fixing lights, some even polishing the large dance floor. There is a dance to be held the day
after, to celebrated Kinmoku's independence and perhaps a leaving party for the senshi.
Inside the kitchen was a mess, Makoto was in charge of the cooking and recipes. But
Mako never had the proclivity to be bossy. So she simply prepared dishes while Rei yelled for
the different ingredients.
"Flours! We need flour!" Rei yelled.
At the corner of the now congested kitchen stood Ami, carefully making small
sandwiches.
"What are flours?" a young servant, probably not over 10 questioned.
Taiki made his way in wearing a 'kiss the cook' apron and a huge chef hat. The whole
kitchen stared at him strangely..
"Bah!" Taiki frowned, "thank you thank you. And for my second act, I will take out a
rabbit from my hat." he grabbed his hat.
The kitchen burst out in laughter.
"Taiki-san, I never knew you had a humorous side." Mako-chan grinned.
"You'd be surprised." Taiki smiled gleefully while making his way to a certain blue
haired girl.
"Flour, you know??? What do you use to make cakes and muffins and cookies and
stuff?" Rei immediately returned to business.
"OH! You mean wheats? The white stuff?" the girl replied.
A question mark rose on Rei's head, "wheats? Yeah...okay..."
"I will get it!"she yelled.
"Arigatou Maya-chan!" Rei gave the girl a bright smile. Maya returned it with an even
brighter one.
"Hey." Taiki waved at Ami.
"Hey." Ami chuckled, "nice outfit."
"Nice sandwich." Taiki pointed at the *delicately* made sandwiches. They were all
percisely 1/4 sized of a regular sandwish, with two peices of pickles, tomatos, a strange
vegetable from Kinmoku, crabmeat and a sticked cheery on the top.
Ami laughed, "I know. I feel like I have to contribute somehow."
"In coming!!" Maya yelled, "Rei-chan!"
"Huh?" Rei stared dumbfoldedly at the bag of flour in midair, it hit her and exploded.
"Oops..." Maya whispered.
The flour scattered everywhere.
"MAYA-CHHHHHAAAAANNNNNNN...." Rei stuttered with a caked face.
"Gomen...gomen nasai Rei-chan..." Maya stared, then she burst out in laughter, "Ahh!
You look sooo funny!!"
"Why you little..."
"Hahaha..."
And it was war, the flour fight had started and no one can avoid it!!
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Minako was walking aimlessly in the palace until she saw Usagi running down the
hallway.
"Usagi!" She yelled.
Usagi looked up, her face was red and blotchy.
"What's, what's wrong?" Minako looked concerned.
"Minako-chan!" Usagi collapsed into Minako's arms.
"There there, what ever it is..." Minako tried to calm Usagi, "what happened Usagi?"
"It's Seiya."
"Seiya-kun?"
Usagi nodded and ceased her tears, "he...we kissed...demo...he" Usagi frowned, "he said
he couldn't because I was vulnerable since Mamo-chan died..."
"Are you?" Minako asked.
"I..." Usagi started, "I...no, no no, not at all. Minako-chan, I think I really love him, I
think I loved him since I first saw him but I couldn't because of Mamo-chan and...and I don't
know what to think anymore. Is it wrong? Is that wrong?"
Minako shook her head, "no...no sweetie, it's not, you do whatever your heart tells you
to. Don't let Seiya go though, if you really love him."
Usagi slowly nodded.
"Usagi!" In comes Seiya, stumbling toward Usagi.
"Seiya..." Usagi murmured.
Minako watched as they embraced. She felt a cold sweat going through her body. 'Don't
let him go though, if you really love him'.
"Yeah right." Minako murmured bitterly as she turned around.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
'I'm sorry Usagi. I didn't mean to doubt you..."
Seiya's words were hushed by Usagi's index finger on his lips. "Iie, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry..." Usagi find a comfort spot on Seiya's chest then closed her eyes. Letting Seiya's strokes
of her hair grant her a moment of serenity.
Somewhere in the back of her head, she thought she saw a vagues images of Mamo-chan,
he was smiling, as if he was happy for her.
'Arigato Mamo-chan, Chibi-Usagi..." she told them silently, swallowing her last tear.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
It was a perfect evening. You know, like the ones in your dreams. The night sky was
stunning as it seeped through the transparent glass ceiling. Trillions of stars, planets and galaxies
decorated the dark cloth. Occasionally, there would be a shooting star streaking across the sky, as
it too, wanted to join the excitement. Because it was inside where all the ferment, the yells, the
sighs, the cheers, the excitement took place. Civilians, officials, neighbors, and friends packed
the grand palace.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, your queen. Kakyuu." Kakyuu entered, she looked striking with
her ruby hair, eyes and lips, the crowd responded to her appearance getting on to their knees.
"No no." Said the queen, "please, get up, all of you please." They rose, giving respect to
the queen. "It is a pleasure for me to start our first independence ball." Kakyuu began, "We've
gone through much Kinmokusei, from complete destruction, to rebuild, then on the edge of being
destroyed again, and then regaining our planet, again."
Nods, and murmurs were heard.
"I like to introduce to you, three of my very special friends. You all know them, the
imperial guards, the selected senshi representing our galaxy. But what you don't know is these
three the reason why I'm still alive. I can't think of any other three to protect our planet, our
homes better than Seiya, Taiki and Yaten Kou."
Seiya, Taiki and Yaten appeared, Seiya blushed slightly, Taiki muttering this is too much
commotion, Yaten who would usually bask at the attention, looked solemn.
Kakyuu waited for the cheering to die down. "I would also like to introduce you the
legendary senshi who not once or twice, but saved our universe up to five times. They are the
most wonderful people anyone could ever know. Courageous, brave and full of love and hope,
and if it weren't for them, we probably wouldn't be here now." Kakyuu winked playfully. "My
friends, Serenity and the sailor senshi of Earth."
The crowd exploded with applause.
Usagi appeared first, in a white dress that seem to draw a pale aura, she smiled
graciously..
Seiya froze, 'Odango?'. He thought for a second. That can't be. Odango was cute, she's
always been cute but...she was breathtakingly beautiful right there. He sucked some air into his
lungs
The inners and outers appeared behind Usagi, color coordinated to their respective
planets, but looking charming as usual.
"Okay! No more introductions!" Kakyuu smiled brightly, "let the party begin!"
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
"Seiya!" Usagi waved.
"Usagi." Seiya smiled, taking her small hands into his, "you look beautiful."
"Really?" Asked Usagi shyly.
"Yeah." he kissed her hand gently, "May I?" he led her to the dance floor.
"I did tell you that I'm not exactly the best dance partner in the world right?"
"That's okay, as long as you are my dance partner."
"Hey." Taiki murmured to Ami.
"Huh?" Ami tore her head away from the ceiling connected to the sky, "Taiki-san...hi.
Sorry, I was looking at the night...it's so gorgeous."
"Glad at least someone liked my design." Taiki started, then berated himself for it
sounded like he was seeking attention.
"Design? Is...is this glass ceiling idea yours?"
Taiki nodded sheepishly, "well...hmm..." he held a wry smile, "have you ever...stared at
the stars till they seem to merge in within you? Like you're soaring in space?"
Ami nodded, holding a knowing smile.
"Well, I was just doing that a while ago. And that's when I felt really really small. And it
made me wonder, why am I apart of this universe? There must be a reason for everything right?
So I thought up the transparent glass..."
"Not everything has to reasonable." Ami interrupted Taiki, "the mind thinks it knows
what's right, the heart knows what's right." she whispered, "don't cha think?" she smiled,
turning her head toward two flustered violent eyes.
"I..."
For the first time in Minako's entire life, she felt out of the party scene. Well, technically,
she had been out of the scene for almost her entire life. There was the time when she heard their
voices talking about her, they mumbled on how stuck up she was, never going to any parties or
hang out with anyone. There was the time when she had the biggest crush in the world, and she
must had written and rewritten hundreds of love letters. So the day when she finally collected all
her courage to give it to him. What happens? She finds out that he's a demon.
Life and its ways.
'Urhh..." Minako frowned, when did she start being so cynical? She was Aino-san, the
goddess of love, the cheerful one, the 'sky may fall but I'm still be standing' one.
Stop Minako, if you strip away everything, what will you have? A girl with a barely
passing average, an impossible dream, a pair of tired eyes and...
Yaten.
"Minako." he voiced her name so softly it made her tremble.
For a while she just sat there, not knowing what to say, not knowing what to do. The
blow up earlier that day was more than she can handle, and she really wasn't in the mood for
another.
"Mina..." what do you say to two pleading green eyes?
"Yeah?" Minako stared at him for a while. In a blue-grey suit, Yaten's silver hair framed
his face like fine silk; a pair of unwavering eyes and full lips. No wonder he was her favorite out
of the 3 lights, he was perfect, a poster boy for perfection. Perfect.
"You okay??"
What kind of question was that? Minako thought.
"Fine."
And what kind of answer is that?
"I've been thinking."
"Yeah?"
"Listen, about us, we have to do something about us." his voice became more confident,
"Minako, it doesn't matter that we're a couple galaxies away...it doesn't matter, nothing matters
except I...love you."
'I love you.' She had dreamed a thousand times for those words. But what's love against
destiny? Minako held a sad smile. "Onegai, Yaten. Don't make this any harder than it is. You
and I are an impossiblity." her voice was barely audible.
Yaten's expression changed, as if ready for a heated debate, "why Minako? Why do you
always say that? Don't you have any faith in me? In us?"
"I'm facing the reality."
"No you're not, you're..." he was getting exasperated, "I don't know what your doing. I
feel like I don't know you anymore."
"You don't, you never did." Minako murmured.
Yaten felt like she just slashed his heart, astounded, he inquired in disbelief, "what?"
"I...I'm sorry...Yaten...I'm really really sorry." And she stood, in her ruffling dress and
all, carrying her bruised heart and eyes as she walked down the hallway, alone.
Setsunakutte Ii.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
The ballroom was filled with happy faces. Haruka and Michiru performing beautiful
duets, people praising Mako-chan's muffins and cakes. The dance floor though, was where the
happiest people were. Taiki and Ami were dancing near the center of the room. Forgetting the
whole world was around them as they kissed, under the stars.
Usagi dragged Seiya's arm as they headed out of the ballroom and into the empty
hallways.
"I want to be alone with you Seiya." Usagi begged seductively.
"Usagi, you didn't drink anything you weren't suppose to did you?" Seiya noticed her
aroused behavior.
"Iie..I won't make that mistake again." Usagi giggled. "Come onnn..." she pulled him
into her room. It was pitch dark.
"Ouch." he mumbled as his knee hit against something.
"Oops, gomen, that was the bed post."
"Usagi, hit the lights will you?"
"Iie, the dark is nicer." She pulled him on to her as she collapsed onto the bed. "Seiya?"
"Nani?" Seiya tried to find a comfortable position on Usagi, he failed. "Eh Odango, can I
be on the bottom?" he was afraid he'd crush her bones.
Usagi giggles, "hai hai." she let Seiya fall on to the bed then planting her own head on to
his chest.
"Now what were you saying?" he played with her odangos, attempting to loosen them.
"I was just thinking, or...I've been thinking."
"About?"
"About destiny."
"Oh."
"Yeah, they make it sound like such a positive word, makes me wonder sometime."
"Do you think we are meant to be?"
"Hai." she said simply, "you won't be mad if I mention Mamoru would you?"
Hearing the name made his heart sting, but Seiya knew that Mamoru was a part of Usagi
and always will be, "no, I won't, go on."
"They tell me my destiny is with Mamo-chan. They tell me my destiny is as Sailor Moon.
Demo, what they don't realize is we make our own destiny." she giggled, "I stole that from
Setsuna-san."
He smiled, "it's true, we do."
"Yep. So Seiya?"
"Hmmm?"
"I'm not worried that I'm leaving tomorrow."
He froze for a second, that's right, Odango is leaving tomorrow. For some reason though,
his brain for the past week had been vaguely functioning. So the statistics didn't really hit him.
"Because you see, I make my own destiny and it's going to be with you Seiya. You broke
all the rules for me, and I want to thank you for that. Before I met you, I was young and naive. I
thought my future was planned out you know? So I rejected everyone not included in that
plan..."
That would be Kou Seiya.
"No, not just you. Everything."
It was like she can read his mind, "what do you mean?"
"School, I thought if I was going to be the queen anyway, why should I even bother study
so hard? Course it worked reversely too. At one time, I was so worried about my future duties
that I stopped being a teenager, literally. No manga, no junk food, no shopping, no gossiping, I
mean, a good queen wouldn't need those right? I even bought a book on manners."
Seiya chuckled, imagining his Odango actually not tripping and falling over things.
"Well, I failed of course. But see, it's all okay now. Because people will just have to
accept me, the way I am...I'm talking strange aren't I?"
He touched her lip, "no, but you are rambling."
She giggled again, "but it's just sooo cool what you've done Seiya, you made me see
things so clearly. I'm no longer trapped, don't you see?"
Seiya stayed silence for a while, then, "Usagi. You never cease to amaze me."
Usagi blushed a little, "Do I?" She turned her head and crawled on top of Seiya, facing
him, and for a long while, just gazing at him.
"Don't ever leave me." she whispered. "Seiya, don't ever leave me." her giddiness a
second ago gone, and replaced with the true colors of a young girl with the weight of the world.
Seiya stared on, then let the words escape, "I...I can't promise you that Usagi. But I'll say
this, I'll come back to you, so you just wait."
She knew he meant tomorrow. The day they go on separate duties. She as the protector of
Earth, and him, as protector of Kinmoku.
"I..." Usagi closed her eyes and nodded, "I'll wait, I'll wait forever for you."
He smiled.
"Seiya? Make love to me...I want you to make love to me......"
......
(Bah, sorry, I write no Hentai because it's illegal for me. 3 more years ladies and
gentlemen. *laughs* Yeah, right. For a possible fic on this section though, go look on
the bottom of the fic)
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
"You love will be hopeless for all eternity."
She stared on, astonished.
"You should be happy now. You will no longer have to pick your priorities Venus. You
can focus on your duties and not have to worry about love..."
She woke up, with closed eyes. That dream again.
She opened her eyes, imagining Ace staring at her with his menacing eyes.
"Are you happy Ace!?" She yelled, "are you happy that you've officially destroyed my
life? You said my love will be hopeless, then why do you let me fall in love? You just wanted to
torture me right? Right? Right? I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!!!"
The sun rose, piercing her eyes.
It was day time.
Tomorrow was today.
She was to leave.

Glowing Stars Part 6b.
Back on Earth, 2 months later.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Dear Seiya,
I miss you. Everything on Earth is okay now. Well, except these scientist are finally
convince there are INDEED other intelligent beings beside the Earth.
...
Guess what? I got into Tokyo University, along with Ami, Rei, Mako-chan And Minako. I
don't know how either but maybe all those studying hours and Amy's hints really paid off. I'm
majoring in design, I don't know how I got into it but I'm glad I did. Ami's in med school and
already on the dean's list, surprise surprise. Rei-chan still helps her grandfather with the temple
while majoring in religion. She's been really spiritual lately. Mako-chan's cooking, she's
thinking of opening her own restaurant! How cool would that be huh? Minako-chan is in
performing arts, she got a part in this play, pretty good for her freshmen year. Ami, Mako-chan,
Minako and I rented a 3 room apartment (Rei's still at the temple) outside of the campus because
its cheaper. We have our own comfy space, it's really great. I share a room with Minako because
we both liked the lake view. Minako-chan much to my surprise, is actually not too bad of a
roommate, she's not messy at all. Then again, Minako-chan's changed a lot. I mean, a lot. I feel
like she never laughs anymore, she spends half of her time at school, and half rehearsing for her
stuff at school and sleeping. She's been drifting away from the rest of us. I asked her if she were
okay, but she simply smiles and say everything's fine. I don't know how to get to her anymore. I
mean, Minako have these mood shifts all the time, but I don't think her happy go lucky attitude
is coming back this time. I worried.
But really, everything is great. I'm doing well in school. I get good food from Mako-chan
all the time. :) I feel like I'm finally content where I am right now. And plus, I have the most
wonderful boyfriend in the universe.
I miss you very very much.
Love, hugs, kisses.
Your Odango-sama. ^^
P.S. Say hi to Kakyuu, Taiki and Yaten for me.
P.P.S. Haruka says hi.
P.P.P.S. Ami-chan says hi to Taiki, she said she'll write to him too.
P.P.P.P.S. I love you
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Dear my Odango-sama,
I am glad to hear you are doing so well.
Everything's well here as well. Kinmokusei is looking more beautiful than ever. I wish I
could show it to you. I wish I could see you right now.
Taiki has been strange lately. And when I told him Ami-chan says hi, his face was so red
I almost started laughing. I suppose they are together. Hey, I never thought we three were in this
together. You Earth senshi must have drugged us.
Just kidding.
Yaten's acting very strange also. He's acting like a madman. He's been running around
Kinmoku for improvements. Sometimes staying up till two to draw up some plans. Sometimes he
would skip sleeping. The other day I heard him crying in his bedroom. I'm scared Usagi, Yaten
never cry...except for the princess, but the princess is fine. So I'm guessing it's Minako. From
the description you give me on her, I'd say there's something going on. But I don't know how to
confront him. I just don't. He's like untouchable, even the princess is getting worried.
Those two, they need to talk.
I miss you Usagi, and I want to fulfill that promise I made a while ago. I'm going to talk
to Kakyuu soon. Wait for me Odango, wait for me.
With love
Seiya.
P.S. Uh...tell Haruka I said hi too. And Michiru and Hotaru and Setsuna-san also.
P.S.S. Just...take care. ;0)

Journal,
Kakyuu called for me today. The servant made it sound so urgent I rushed from my room
to the central palace gripping on to my henshin stick. When I got into the room, panting and
short of oxygen and all, I was faced with 3 concerned faces. Seiya was the first to speak up,
"Yaten, we are worried."
"About what?" Do we have a new enemy? Is someone attacking us again? Questions
roamed through my head.
They exchanged looks.
"We're worried about you Yaten." Taiki asserted.
Me? "Me?" I questioned. "Why?"
"You're not acting like yourself." Kakyuu carried out gently.
And the whole conversation went on, scolding Yaten, saying how he's been skipping
meals, saying how he has dark circles under his eyes, saying how he's working too hard, saying
he's hair's turning white. (That's what that baka Seiya said, he's been acting like a
annoying buffoon lately. Wait, did I say lately?)
But then do you know what that baka Seiya asked? He asked me, in a serious tone
actually, he asked, "what happened between you and Minako?"
And I answered, naturally, "what you and Minako?"
Seiya frowned and begin, "Odango wrote to me, she mentioned Minako-chan has been
acting strange lately, working too hard, avoiding everyone. Kinda like you only more less
irritating."
I ignored is last comment, "What does that have to do with me? She's on Earth for god
sake." and I'm on Kinmoku for god sake...
"You're together aren't you? I caught you together a while ago remember? Don't deny it,
unless you can come up with an excuse why she was in YOUR shower 9 o'clock in the
morning."
Not only is Seiya a annoying buffoon, he's also a nosy, blunt, stupid...
Damn, this isn't working. I need a punching bag instead. They say writing down your
trouble can heal your soul. Well, it's not working.
Maybe she misses me, do you think she misses me? Maybe that's why she's working too
hard. Maybe that's why I'm working too hard. But I don't miss her. Not a bit .Why should I?
She's the one that gave it all up. She's the one that left. She's the one that kept saying we can't
because of destiny. She's the one that said "you don't know me" She's...
God. I miss her. I miss her so much. I hate her so much. Why do I have to like her? I
knew I'd end up getting hurt. That's what always happens. The world explodes, Yaten gets hurt.
The world gets along, Yaten still gets hurt. I never learn. I'll never learn...
But I miss her so much.

Seiya,
What do you mean Yaten and Minako are together? You're kidding right? When did this
happen? What are you talking about? I don't know what's going on with Minako, she's getting
really frustrating even for me. She comes home at 2 in the morning every night. She's dating a
different guy every week. She's barely communicating with the rest of us. The only thing she is
concentrating is her acting, and she acts like everything is well. But I know nothing is, if you just
see her Seiya. She doesn't look like Minako-chan anymore..
.
I don't want to lose a friend Seiya. I really don't. I talked to Rei-chan yesterday and she's
coming over to confront Minako. Isn't strange though, Rei-chan and I actually got along now.
We chatted all about the old times without one tongue war. I guess we've all grown. But
sometimes, apart of me wish we didn't. We were so free back then, not giving a care for the
world. Now we labor over next month's rents and grades.
I'm sorry, I must sound depressing to you. I'm really actually doing well. My grades are
cool and everything. Oh! Here's some good news, Ami-chan the genius did it again, she had the
top score in the university. Hmmm...then there are things that never change. :) She talked to me
about Taiki the other day. And I'm not suppose to tell anyone but you're not anyone right? So
I'm telling you...she said while blushing and all, she said she really likes Taiki. It was such a
moment though! Hearing Ami declaring something like that. I went crazy over it. Now we just
need Taiki to admit it! And of course he will right? I'll play matchmaker! Hey you are right, that
is weird how you three ended up with us earth senshi. But how cool would that be? I want my
friends to be happy, as happy as I am.
Wow, I think I'm getting hyper. Wellas, I gots to go help Mako-chan make dinner! (Or
try) I lllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
you. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXO
Buhbye.
Usagi-sama.
P.S. hope everything's well in Kinmokusei.
Hi Seiya. I just re-read my letter and your letter and I realize I forgot to say this. I really want to
see you soon...
Kisses. Usagi.

Diary,
Yes, I know, the last time I wrote to you was in junior high. But I just thought I'd visit
you because, today was just a strange day. Well, if nothing else I dump Tsutomo because he said
we should take our relationship 'one step further'. Isn't it strange now. I had started dating in
order to forget him, but then I find myself pushing them away because I didn't want to forget
him..
Minako
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
My sweet lovable adorable Odango :)
I'm coming.
Love, Seiya.

Author's notes: My apologies to Ami/Taiki fans. This didn't turn out to be such a great fic for
them. But I suppose that's what happens when you hold somewhat enmity for ½ of that couple. I
have to thank Yukie Nishimura. Kiss the blues a way belongs to him, that goes to part 7 too.
Boy this fic is long, I'm kinda sick of it, so the ending's probably part 7. See ya ladies and gents.
What do you think? Happy ending or sad ending?
On the Hentai section of GS6 between Usagi and Seiya. No, I'm never going to write it. But I got
an offer from another writer who wants to write it. She's in the middle of it. If you want to read
it, feel free to visit my site and check the fanfic sections often. ^^ www.geocities.com/ainoshrine
