Cheska: *pops the person* Annoying voice. Now then...I think I better
take the safe route and say it.
I don't own any of the above shows/mangas. None whatsoever!
Author's Notes:
I'm finally back!! With the last one, the epilogue if you do choose
to read it. . Just a little alteration about the after affects of
what happens after the immortal's death. The Savior and Light of All.
The protector over those who are good and enemy of those who are evil.
Meaning, after Serena's death.
Well this chapter will take place after that little odd last chapter
of mine.
Here goes nothing! Read and I hope you enjoy it.
***************
The Savior and the Light of All. A protector over those
who are good and enemy of those who are evil. The Princess of Light
and of the Moon. The Queen of the Universe
***************
Only two weeks have passed since that fateful night over at the moon's
grounds. All the pilots and Hotaru have stuck together ever since. You could
even say that they were closer than before. And their new friend, Mirai,
has been sticking around as well. The same and unchanged, in the outside
that is.
"So where are we heading?"asked Duo as the group was walking down the
sidewalk.
"Just to the park,"shrugged Mirai, not really caring at all.
"Yup, that's right! I heard that they remodeled the park by adding
a few more trees and flowers in there. There's even a maze in there!
That's where we're truly heading,"Hotaru happily cried out.
"Hmph. Parks are for weak onnas,"Wufei snorted and folded his arms.
"Heero do we have to go?"Trowa quietly inquired towards the Perfect Soldier.
Heero 'hn'ed and continued to walk.
"Guess that's a yes,"sighed Quatre.
Once they reached their destination, Heero merely ignored the group
and went into the maze.
"Man, the death of Serena again really affected that guy,"Duo commented.
"Hmm...he just instantly revereted back to being the Perfect Soldier,"Hotaru
intoned.
"So that's the real Heero side of him?"Mirai quirked an eyebrow.
"Yeah, it is..."Quatre heaved a small sigh.
"Like a robot,"Mirai stated.
"That's him...perfect,"Wufei shrugged and sat down on a table near the rose
garden.
At the sight of their background, Hotaru's eyes saddened.
"What's wrong, Hotaru?"Duo put an arm around her waist.
"Roses..."Hotaru let a tear fall out of her eyes.
The guys turned their heads to gaze at the beautiful and tranquil scenery.
"They remind me of Serena's past. They used to be her favorite
flowers...and..."Hotaru trailed off and excused herself from the other's
view.
As Hotaru ran off, no one dared to go after her...except for Duo.
"Hey Hotaru, you okay?"Duo asked as he steadily walked over to her.
Hotaru sat on a blue bench with blossoming trees and flowers swirling
around her in all shapes and sizes. Every once in a while a leaf from
the trees would fall only to have the wind catch it and sail away.
At the sound of her voice being called out, Hotaru turned her head to
face Duo's concerned facade. Hotaru didn't hide her appearance and tears
freely fell one by one.
"I-I'm sorry, Duo...I'm sorry. I just ruined the day, didn't I? I tried
so hard to make this special but..."Hotaru was silence when Duo placed his finger
to her lips and merely hugged her.
"It's okay, Hotaru...it's okay..."Duo comforted and didn't let her go.
"Duo?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to be alone anymore..."
"You'll always have me, Hotaru..."
************
Heero didn't say anything to the others when he entered the maze. In
his heart he knew that the others would expect his reactions and accept them.
It's just the way he is nowadays. Ever since her death, he felt an emptiness
inside of him again. Reminding him all those times she died only to
be resurected without him knowing. But now, now he wasn't so sure if she
would be brought back.
(She sacrificed her immortal soul and spirit for humankind....)Heero reminded
himself.
Turning a corner, he kept on. Lost in his thoughts about the girl he cared
for.
************
Duo joined the others once more with a small reassuring smile towards the
guys that she would be okay.
"She said she'll meet with us later. She wants to be alone awhile longer,"Duo
informed the others.
Noticing that Heero was still missing, Duo sat down across from Wufei.
"Not here, yet?"Duo waved his arm towards the tall wall of thick bushes
a few yards away.
"Not yet,"Quatre answered as he heard Duo's question.
Quatre and Trowa supplied them with food and drinks and set them down
in the center of the table.
Duo began eating at once alongside the others, racing Mirai who ate
at a steady pace with the braided pilot.
"Err...we'll just get more food,"Quatre and Trowa got up again and headed
off in search for more supplies.
"Braided baka..."mumbled Wufei as he managed to snatch a piece of hotdog
from the ravenous dogs.
***********
"Pluto, what should I do?"Hotaru stood beside the Time Guardian who appeared
before her once Duo left.
"Do what your heart tells you to do, immortal one,"Pluto advised.
"I know that...but..I'm just..."Hotaru was interrupted.
"confused? scared? unsure?"Pluto supplied.
"Yeah, just like what the hime felt."
"Even I feel that way, Hotaru. Others feel that too, I'm sure. It's
just the way life is."
"Where should we go now?"Hotaru questioned.
"The way to the future is made up of different paths and turns. There
is no one sure path. Take whatever step you choose to,"Pluto swirled her
Time Staff in front of the blue bench.
"Now let me show you one path that will change. Hopefully for
the better,"Pluto uttered and soon the outside vision of the maze appeared.
Then it swirled and showed Heero Yuy walking around the green maze with
emptiness swirling around his eyes.
"It's Heero..."Hotaru murmered.
"Hai. Now let us see his path..."
*************
Heero kept on walking and soon took a right turn only to be knocked back
by a figure. Heero regained his balance but the other instantly fell with
a common thud.
"Itai! That hurt.."groaned the other, sounding strangely familiar yet
foreign in his ears.
Heero glared at the one who bumped into him and his senses perked up
as he studied the girl.
(Could it be?)
The one on the ground was petite, about five foot 3 inches tall with
long shimmering blond hair twisted into two meatballs with the ends
reaching up to her calves. Her eyes were hidden under her heart-shaped
bangs and her face was contorted to that of a pout and a faint hint of
pain. The girl wore a baby blue 3/4 shirt with denim blue shorts and
sneakers. As the girl was about to pick herself up, Heero instantly offered
his hand to her.
She rose her head to meet the offered hand and a small faint of uncertainty
showed upon her face. After a few seconds, she battled the inner feeling
welling inside of her about the decision and took it. Dusting herself
off, the teenager smiled lightly and bowed her head.
"Arigatou and gomen ne for bumping into you. I didn't know you were
there..."the teenager apologized and showed her gratitude.
"Hn."
(She doesn't remember me, does she?)Heero sounded disappointed.
The girl looked up into his prussian blue eyes and appeared to be lost in
thought.
(Why can't she? What happened and how could she come back? Her immortal
soul has been taken away, right? There has to be a reason for this....)
Noticing that she has been studying his features, the girl blushed lightly
and stepped away.
(...but for now, I may as well get to know her. I know it's her.
Somewhere inside of herself, the Serena and Usagi Akari I recognize is
still within herself.)Heero vowed.
"I should introduce myself,"the girl took out her hand and held it up
to him.
"My name is Usagi. Usagi Tsukino,"Usagi acknowledged with a wide smile
that beamed up at him.
Heero stared at the hand momentarily before taking it into his warm
hands.
"Heero. Heero Yuy,"Heero answered back in monotone.
"I trust that we'll become good friends, Heero. I just know it,"Usagi
commented.
*********
"Why doesn't she recall her past?"Hotaru inquired.
"Her immortal self is gone, Hotaru. She is mortal and nothing more.
The Serena and Usagi as well as the Neo-Queen Serenity we know and love
doesn't exist. She has a new future. A new path and it's her choice whether
or not to remember or simply start anew,"Pluto's maroon eyes glimmered with
mysteriousness.
"There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"Hotaru smirked.
"Yes, there is..."Pluto nodded.
"Let me take a guess. You've failed to acknowledge Serenity, the moon
princess...as well as Cosmos..."Hotaru pointed out.
"Her princess self still resides, that is true. Cosmos, the warrior
spirit in the new Usagi, is living there as well. Both portions have
been combined to allow Usagi to become reborn. However...."Pluto trailed
off.
"However?"
"She shall remain mortal. The hime and Cosmos has let themselves
formed together to give Usagi one last chance. They have offered themselves
to give Usagi the life she has been longing for, normality. If Usagi
does choose to regain her past memories of her immortal life, then the hands
of fate and destiny has deemed it so. But I doubt it, she has done
too many things to make her suffer once again..."Pluto smiled lightly at
the last part.
"So this is a new Usagi. The one that speaks greatly over how her life
was cursed and her heart shouting out to become nothing more than a normal
teenager...."Hotaru murmered and continued to stare at the swirling mists.
In the mists, Heero and Usagi were walking side by side out of the maze.
Usagi was chatting happily next to a nearly-smiling Heero Yuy. Listening
attentively to every word she has to say to him. Straining her ears
forward, she caught a few words to understand what Usagi had to say.
"She has a new family that moved here..."Hotaru commented.
"A new life, yes. It is required, I suppose..."
"She's happy, her path to the future is bright,"Hotaru approved.
"It is..."
Continuing on, the two strolled over to the group of boys. Quatre and
Trowa along with Duo, Mirai, and Wufei appeared shocked at the sight of
Usagi. But Heero gave out a hint to them that she doesn't remember and caught
on quickly by introducing themselves to her. Mirai's face was saddened at this
but made no trouble and acted friendly to her.
After a few minutes of watching, Usagi had the others warmed up and laughing
alongside her. Chatting merrily and grinning from face to face with the
exception of Trowa.
"Do you think that peace has finally been achieved, Pluto?"
"Nothing holds up for long, Hotaru. But if and when the need arises,
I doubt that evil will be able to win over. You and the others are strong
and able to work together...."
"I don't doubt it either..."Hotaru grinned and Pluto chuckled softly
at the scene before them.
Duo was once more running from a raving Wufei with his fists up in the
air towards the braided boy. The others merely watched with mirth
glistening in their eyes while Heero excused himself to go after the
two to stop the nonsense.
"He's at it again..."Hotaru shook her head.
"And how is your relationship with Duo?"Pluto questioned and glimpsed
at the diamond ring with an amethyst stone embedded upon the gold on each side
of the rose-cut diamond.
Hotaru glanced at her ring finger and smiled, love and affection shining
off.
"Great, just great. From what you've said, Pluto. I don't doubt
the path me and Duo have chosen to walk together,"Hotaru murmered.
"You do know the consequences about choosing a mortal, don't you?"Pluto's
eyes turned serious.
Hotaru's eyes lost some of its warmth and she turned her face away from her
friend. Hotaru bent her head and examined the ring for a long time.
"Hotaru?"Pluto's voice was stern and demanding.
"I..."Hotaru whirled around her eyes glistening with unshed tears and
her next words were serious and positive.
"I do know the consequences, Pluto. I know that I won't age and I won't
die. I also know that Duo will, he is mortal and I am not. He shall grow
old and lose his strength. He'll become sick and there will be times when
he can't protect me,"Hotaru stated,"but...but I understand my feelings toward
him. It's stronger than that of my previous husband. And whatever me and
Duo have is deeper and long-lasting. He'll be there for me and I shall be
there for him, till death do us part. I'll stand by his side till
he dies...or...till I finally rest my immortal soul."
Pluto was silent for some time, weighing her words out carefully. Then
finally she sighed and nodded her head in approval.
"You truly love him..."
"I do, Pluto. I do.."
Pluto nodded once more and turned around, opening up a portal to lead to
the Gates of Time.
"You should go now, Hotaru. Start your new life with the one you love..."
Hotaru stayed till Pluto left and then went back to the others. To begin
a new destiny and set a new path for herself. Starting with her friends
and beginning a new beginning of friendship with Usagi. Usagi Tsukino.
"Hey, Heero. Hey guys, I see you have a new friend with you,"Hotaru
cheerfully stood beside Duo.
"Hi!"Usagi gazed over at Hotaru and something in her eyes made her think
of something or someone. Someone she knew long ago, but it didn't seem
to reveal itself. Shaking it off, Usagi took out her hand towards Hotaru.
"The name's Usagi,"Usagi greeted.
"Hotaru, I hope we'll become great friends,"Hotaru smiled lightly and
shook Usagi's hand with warmth.
"Yes, great friends,"Usagi agreed.
(I'm glad you're back, Usagi. And let's hope that you're wish will
come true. To have a normal life with the ones you love...)Hotaru
added within her mind.
THE END.
