Hey everyone! This chapter for those who want the story to end with Seiya! YAY! I hope you guys enjoy it and please review!
I sat in the arcade, playing the new Sailor V game. I not only was playing against the enemy in the game, but also with the feeling I hold in my heart. Minako said to trust my heart. But how can I do that? I mean, I do know who I want, but it's just that I hate hurting someone else in the process. I'm cursed with being too nice and searching for the need to save everyone from fighting or sadness. But when you're Sailor Moon, you have no other choice other than being a peacemaker.
"Usagi-chan," a male voice said from behind me.
I paused the game and turned around, hoping that it was neither Mamoru or Seiya. Fortunately, it wasn't. It was Yaten with Makoto at his side.
I smiled. "Hi Makoto-chan, Yaten-chan."
"Hey," Makoto said, with a mile-wide smile stretched pleasantly across her face. "Why are you here all by yourself?"
I shrugged. I didn't want to lay all of my problems on her. "I just wanted to be alone, I guess. You know I like to be by myself when playing videogames."
But my fake smile and happiness didn't fool Makoto. I should've known better, since she is my best friend and all. She knows when I'm sad and when I'm covering up my true feelings. She knows everything there is to know about me, or at least she think she does.
"We need to talk, Usagi," she said. "You are very bad at lying."
I smirked. "What can I say? I'll never be a good lawyer."
She turned to Yaten and said, "Yaten-chan, I need to talk to Usagi for a minute, so I'll be all right, okay?"
He nodded. "See you later, Usagi," he said, and kissed Makoto's cheek and then walked over to the counter, where Motoki was working.
Makoto and I sat down in one of the booths in the back of the arcade. We were alone, since everbody was playing the videogames or at the counter, so we were in total privacy. I was glad, too, since I didn't want anybody to hear my problems, besides Makoto. Since a secret doesn't stay a secret for too long here.
"So, Usagi-chan, what's your problem, besides the obvious?" she said, and giggled.
"Hey!" I said. "This isn't the time to joke. This is serious."
"I am only kidding," she said, calming her laughter. "So what is it that you have to tell me?"
I took a deep breath and looked at her. "I'm confused. I know who I want, but I don't want to hurt the other person."
"Usagi, you always seem to get yourself into these kind of situations, don't you? It's always you don't want to be happy when you're hurting somebody else. If you keep doing that, you'll never be happy. Sometimes you just have to worry about yourself instead of worrying about others. It's mean, but it's the truth," she said. "It's good to be nice, but it's not always good to be too nice. There is a line you shouldn't cross."
"I know you're right, but it's just so hard to actually do it rather than saying it," I said, leaning my head on my elbow. "Like that saying: 'Easier said than done.'"
"Usagi, just remember, it's all well and good to be Mr. Nice Gu-Girl when you're in the sailor fuku, but when it comes off, you're just plain old Usagi," she said, and got up. "You just be true to your heart, even if it means hurting someone else."
She waved good-bye and walked away to see Yaten.
After that, I took both Makoto's and Minako's extremely helpful advice and ran into town. I mean, Minako has to be right about following my heart and all. She has to be, since she is the Love Goddess and all. And since things are going so well with Yaten, Makoto has to be right, too. They both know everything about true love and all that mushy stuff. I just wish I did. If I did, this would be a lot easier for me.
I ran for six long, tiring blocks to his apartment on the other side of town. I finally reached it like a runner meeting the finish line and walked inside to Victory Circle. My heart raced as I walked up the stairs to his room on the top floor. With each step, I gained more courage and determination to snatch the person I love's heart. I wasn't more confident of anything in my life, except for wanting to play as much Sailor V games I could get my greedy hands on. I eventually reached the door and took in a deep breath. I raised up my hand and knocked on the door.
My heart stopped when the door slowly opened. "Hi," I said shyly.
"Usagi, what are you doing here?" he asked, surprised.
"Seiya, I love you!" I shouted and jumped into his welcoming arms.
"I love you, too. But what about Mamoru?" he asked, pulling me off of him. "You love him, I know you do."
"Seiya? I thought you wanted this?" I asked, confused.
"Believe me I do," he said. "I want you. But I thought that you loved Mamoru."
I bit my lower lip. "I did, Seiya. But I want to let go of the past."
He shook his head. "I can't, Usagi. He'll come back and this will happen all over again. It will be a continuous cycle, and I'm afraid I don't have the heart for it."
He turned his back to me. "Just go back to him, Odango. You can't hurt him twice in a row."
I wanted to reach out for his shoulder, but I couldn't. Instead, I just stared at his back, hoping he would turn to me. But after a few minutes, his back still faced me. I felt as if the Great Wall of China was in my way and I was too weak to knock it down. As I stood there, Makoto's and Minako's voice raced through my head.
"Usagi, just remember, it's all well and good to be Mr. Nice Gu-Girl when you're in the sailor fuku, but when it comes off, you're just plain old Usagi. You just be true to your heart, even if it means hurting someone else."
"Don't tell me, tell yourself. Then you will know it's true, because you can't lie to yourself, or lie to your heart for that matter."
"It's good to be nice, but it's not always good to be too nice. There is a line you shouldn't cross."
"Right," I said to myself.
I turned him around and kissed his lips. We broke off and he started at me in shock. "Usagi? What was that for?"
I smiled. "Sometimes you just have to jump in."
He smirked and kissed me back.
I guess good things do come out of being just me, even when I know that I'm hurting somebody in the process.
Go figure.
The End
