"How long have you known?"
"..."
The silence that replied was only more irritating.
"I said...How long have you known?" There was no answer. "I order you as Princess
Serenity of the Moon Kingdom...Answer me."
There was a sigh. "Since we left."
I was silent for a moment. "Why did you leave?" My voice was colder than normal. How? Why?
"It was necessary for your safety, and for that of the solar system."
"And why didn't you inform me?"
"There was no need for you to know-"
"Bull-shit." I hissed angrily. I was furious. Dimando had returned. They had known it.
And they didn't even have the guts to tell me. "Dammit, Setsuna! I'm not a little girl. I've
never been a little girl. The second I picked up that damn broach, I became who I am
today. I know too much. I've seen too much. I hear too much. And I feel too much.
And yet...you seem to think that I couldn't take it. Do you think that all I've been through
is nothing! I have been killed more times than I can count! Were my battles with Beryl,
Wiseman, Pharoah 90, Nephrenia, and Galaxia...NOTHING!"
A hand rested on my shoulder. Another reached up and wiped the tears that were
coarsing their way down my cheeks away. "Calm down, Koneko. Setsuna didn't mean
it like that..." She soothed.
I sighed...This was crazy. It was all crazy. I'm crazy.
"Everything will be alright. We are here to protect you, Princess." Setsuna whispered
softly.
"I want to go back...back to Gohan." I whispered.
"I'm sorry, Princess. But it was necessary for you to leave. If you stayed, not only would
you have put yourself in danger, but also Gohan and the others."
I sighed. They were right. They were always right....
~~~~
It had been a week...a week with the Outers...A week away from Gohan. Away from
those I had grown to love...
I was sure Bulma was already freaking out over my "disappearance". Even though
Gohan had probably told them all what had happened. Trunks was probably comforting
her...and Vegeta.
Vegeta was probably blasting holes in the wall out of frustration. Because they couldn't
sense my power...no one could. They couldn't sense mine or the Outer's power...
I sighed. It was so...so lonely here. Even though they tried so hard.
There wasn't...wasn't anyone I wanted to be with more than Gohan...there wasn't
anyone.
But...what could *I* do...when I love him so much. And when I couldn't be the person
he deserves to be with...
~~~~
I sat silently, listening to the gentle notes of the violen. Amazing. How I was so
mesmerized by the sound. For so long, I had been caught up on how things looked.
But...life was different now. The soft notes of the violen were beautiful. And seemed
to reflect my meloncholy mood so easily.
The gentle keys of the piano were soothing as well. They would blend together,
pull apart, ring out in notes that were so beautiful...
And I would never have noticed had I not been blind.
But...I would always notice now.
The song was sad...lonely...like me.
The Outers meant well, I know they did...but. It was my life. I was in control of it...
It was then I realized something. All my life I had let myself be pushed and pulled,
shoved and saved, killed and revived. And for what? Me? No. I had been too
weak, too foolish, and too young to realize the truth. That I didn't really need them
to be there, saving me. That I didn't need the constant eyes of the Senshi. I had
gone for so many years without them...and though I was blind, they had been the
happiest years of my life!
Why was I sitting here, letting them control it? Why was I letting them keep me
from the happiness I had longed for for oh so long!!!
My thoughts were running wild. Of course. It was so obvious to me now. For so
long, I had relied on them, but now it was so clear. I was in control of my own
destiny. And the Outers...
The Outers could go to, as Vegeta would say, the next dimension!!
...
The music stopped just as abruptly as I had stood up.
"Usagi?" Haruka's concerned voice drifted over from where the piano was.
I almost smirked. There wasn't anything they could do to stop me. But instead,
I began to whisper under my breath. Words so familiar yet so strange.
And Michiru gasped. "No! Usagi! DON'T!"
But it was too late..."Crystal...I wish to return to Gohan!" My voice rose slightly
with every word. I could feel the power within me growing and growing...
I could hear feet rushing towards me, Haruka's hand began to touch me...but
the feeling disappeared...as did the sounds of footsteps and exclaimations of
surprise.
Instead...a new feeling washed over me. And I could feel them. I could feel
Gohan's steady power radiating from him...not two feet away. It was soft
and weakened. He was asleep.
I couldn't help but smile as I sat down on the edge of his bed. I reached over
slowly, finding his face.
He must be so beautiful. So handsome...
My eyes narrowed. But I couldn't see him. I loved him though.
But how could he love me...a blind person. A burden.
"Usagi?"
I smiled again, continuing to trace his face. "I'm back, Gohan."
"But...but...how?" He whispered. I felt his hand upon mine, keeping it on his
cheek.
"I made a wish...and it came true." I laughed softly.
I felt him smile. Heard his soft laughter. "I'm glad your back. But...who were
those women."
I paused, my eyes narrowing slightly once again. "They were some old friends.
They are very protective of me..." I sighed. It was so good to be back.
Suddenly, I couldn't help myself, I hugged him. "I missed you..."
He hugged me back. "I missed you, too, Usa-chan."
~~~~
A few days went by without interuption. Life had returned to it's regular
abnormality. Vegeta had pretended not to care that I had returned, but I
knew he was glad that I was safe. Bulma had hugged me...and hugged me...
and hugged me...and hugged me...I almost passed out, but she stopped just
in time. Goku and ChiChi had been so happy that they had practically forced
me to spend the entire day with them...Trunks. Trunks just stood there...I
couldn't quite catch what he said...but his reaction was similar to Vegeta's.
Gohan. Gohan and I were back to normal. We talked and stuff...but it was
all so...saddening.
I loved him. But he could never love me... I guess. I guess that's why I
accepted. I accepted the proposition when things finally went out of control
again.
~~~~
Gohan and I were half asleep. It had been another long day...another long
picnic with the Son's. The soft breeze was blowing against me. The sun
upon me. It was times like these that I was truly happy...I couldn't help but
feel that I could never get happier than when I was here...with Gohan.
Gohan was asleep all too soon. The rest of the family were out fishing, not
an unusual circumstance. It had been a wonderful day...we had so much
fun.
But for me...the fun ended all too soon.
I had been drifting to sleep when I felt it...the lips upon mine. Gentle. Yet
commanding. So foreign. And I had tried to scream, but my voice was caught
in my throat.
Soon, a hand replaced the lips. I was panicing.
"Now now, Serenity. Why are you struggling?" I heard the voice in my ear.
I tried to scream again. To do SOMETHING that would get Gohan to wake up.
But I was completely trapped. No escape...and there was nothing I could do
to stop it from happening...as Dimando teleported me away with him.
Now, there are some things in my life that I regret. Many things. And this is
probably what I regret the most. I was too blind, physically and emotionally,
to realize the truth. And the truth was, nothing could stop love. Not even
little things like being blind.
I sat angrily on Dimando's throne. It was cold and hard and not very comfortable.
I could still remember how it looked. Still remember the look in Dimando's eyes
as he kidnapped me the first time. But this time, he wasn't doing anything so
stupid as to leave me alone in a room.
He stood not too far away talking in soft whispers to Saffir. I couldn't help but
wonder where Esmeralde and the sister were. After all, if the two Princes were
back, then there was no telling who else would be...maybe even...
I gulped nervously. Wiseman.
"Are you sure about doing this, brother?" Saffir's voice rose slightly, making it
easier to hear.
"Of course, Saffir...All we need to do is..." Dimando's voice softened once more,
no longer audible.
I sighed. How did I get into these situations. At least this time I was still wearing
my normal cloths and not that dress.
"Serenity..." My head snapped up at the sound of the name. My eyes narrowed.
"What do you want, Dimando?" I practically growled.
I could almost hear him chuckle. Saffir's voice whispered under his breath. "She's
just the same. Dimando is being foolish..."
"I have a proposition for you, Serenity." Dimando whispered. "Something I'm sure
you'll be unable to refuse..."
My curiousity soared. I was confused...yet intriqued. What could Dimando have
that I would want. "I'm...listening..." I whisper.
"I have the ability to give you your sight back. I can even get your precious Gohan
to love you...but in return, you must destroy the Senshi. All of them. Including the
Outer Senshi."
What? My sight!?!
It was too...too...
It was too amazing to belief. It was impossible. "What?" I managed to say...but
it was more of a statement than a question. "You...you will give me my sight back."
"Yes, Serenity."
But...but...destroy the Senshi? No! I couldn't...
But. For the chance to be with Gohan. It would be worth it. The Inners had long
ago abandoned me. The Outers had tried to destroy my chance to be with Gohan.
Even as his friend....
Maybe, I could find a way to do this without killing them...
But if it meant being with Gohan. It would all be worth it.
So I made up my mind. And the word that I uttered was so surprising, even to
me, that I couldn't help but hear Saffir's gasp. Dimando's laughter...
"Yes."
