Chapter 4: Past Present Future, Taiki and Yaten's thoughts
Ringg-Ringg [phone ringing]
The ringing of the telephone didn't stop. The pitch-black room made it seem impossible to walk through. A long golden hair girl crawls under her bed, wanting only to be left alone. Want no one to have disappointment in her. She wants to show them that she is strong by herself, but she knows that she is lying to her own self.
Ringg-Ringg
That girl finally picked up the phone. The phone had been ringing for hours.
Usagi: [Still on her bed] mo... shi... moshi?
Minako: [over the phone] Hey Usagi! We were wandering if you wanna come out and visit the colleges we are going...
Usagi forgot all about the colleges. She only had one thing in mind.
Usagi: No... you guys go ahead. [Trying to be cheerful] Remember to tell me everything! Ja..[Placed the phone down]
***
Minako: [Holding on to the phone] Maaaatttee! Hello? Usagi? [let out a sigh] [hung up the phone]..[Looks to the girls] She said we should go ahead.. I'm really worry about her. She acted just like last time...
The girls were outside a plaza trying to get Usagi to come out of that misery.
Ami: What should we do now? It's been days and no enemies at all.
Rei: ..

Usagi's room
Usagi[thinking]: Why? Why is everyone leaving me?
[Flashback]
Luna: You have to be careful now, Usagi!
Usagi: [Cheerful] I will!
Artemis: [Looks at the other inner senshi] Remember, protect the Princess!
Inner senshi: We will!
Luna and Artemis walked through the Time portal will excitement to visit Diana and Small Lady.
[End Flash Back]
[Another Flash Back]
Inside an airport.
Mamoru: [kissed Usagi's forehead] Be safe... [looks at her] I love you...
Usagi: I love you too.
Mamoru: [smiles, picked up his suitcase] I'll call you as soon as I get there...
[End Flash Back]
Tears started to fill up her eyes. Drops of warm tears touched her flaming cheeks.
Usagi: Luna, Mamo-chan... I can't do it... I'm not strong enough... I'm... so lonely... [more tears started pouring out]
[Flash Back]
Seiya: Odango... I'm sorry... I apologize for the behavior of Yaten and Taiki... well, especially Yaten. It just that the lost of Princess Kakyuu...again... Its hard on them...
[End Flash Back]
Usagi[thinking]: Seiya...
Suddenly a glowing light stands in Usagi's room.
Usagi[thinking]: light?... it is so warm.. And familiar... [looking at the navy lights standing in the middle of her room]
Lady: [echo] You are never alone...
Usagi: huh?
Usagi could only see a woman dressed like a Sailor Scout. She had this staff and a beautiful aura on top of the staff. She can't actually see her face but Usagi suddenly felt an even more familiar feeling from that lady. The question is, who is she?
Lady:[echo] Time is running out... Your life will be in danger soon..
Usagi: Who... who are... you?...
Lady: [echo] Please be careful... [The lights around her seem to dampen, and the warmth seems to be lessen]
Usagi: Wait! Please tell me if you know where Mamo-chan is!
The Mysterious Lady disappeared.
Usagi: No! Please...
The question... If she could only answer that question for her.

Hikawa Shine: StarLight's room.
Since the StarLights is no longer the famous 'Three Lights' they had no where to stay except Hikawa Shrine. The StarLights waited until the sun went down, to discuss what was going on.
The StarLights took out some of their bandages and put on causal clothes that Rei could find.
Seiya: What do you think?
Taiki: I don't know.. Maybe it got to do with that Lady... 'The Past, the Present, the Future', what does that mean?
The StarLights ponder in their own thoughts, thinking about those words.
As they began to ponder, the room grew silent. The only thing you could hear is the clock ticking. Taiki's mind didn't seem to think about those words but his thoughts took over.
'Ever since we went back to Kinmonku, Seiya began to act weird. He didn't want us to know, but we soon found out. It was her... How could she be so powerful to seep through his heart? How? She seemed to be just another regular girl. What so different about her? How could he let his own feelings for her come out, taking control of him? Maybe I should take my own words... I never thought another girl could ever be in my mind than Kakyuu. She... seem so [shake head] What am I thinking? No.. no one can ever replace Kakyuu. Even though her heart seem so pure, like her friends. She's always so determined. Never gave up on what she believed... willing to risk her life for her Princess, for her friends. Just like me... I'll do anything to get Kakyuu back.. What is it about her though? Whenever she is around, whenever she is determined to do something, it pulls me in to her world...'
Seiya could see Taiki's eyes looking beyond the walls. He felt that Taiki is looking through his own personal mind, thinking not about the phrase. Seiya seems to know that he is thinking about the past, his feelings.
Yaten: Hey [woke Taiki from his own world and the attention of Seiya] I'm going outside... just to think about something...
Seiya: Huh? Oh... Okay.
Yaten walked out, his hands is still in bandages. As he slide the door shut he began to lost in to his own world. Walking over to the top staircases, that goes from the Temple down to the street, and sat down. His hands hanging from his knees. He began saying...
Yaten: Stupid Seiya! [sigh]
'The moment we landed back to Kinmonku, that bonehead acted all weird ... He's just as stupid as ever, letting his own feelings take over... I can't blame him.. Not like we have no feelings at all. Even though I can be insensitive at times, we talked. We talked about nearly everything till he mentioned her. He did not exactly say her name, but I could tell. His heart aches as the future is near, near for the destiny that held Usagi and Mamoru. I always ponder about the future... Pondered on how the future will make of us... of me... I always wonder how she could. [shakes head to get the words to disappear] ... [Looks to the blue starling sky] Stupid Seiya! Putting weird feelings in my head!
Yaten not noticing, the Mysterious Lady stood behind a pole that held the temple. Her face seems so sad, her eyes held mysteries, and her lip held doubts and worries. She gazed at Yaten, like reading inside his head.

Haruka's house
The Outer senshi sat at the dining room table. Haruka facing Setsuna in question and Hotaru facing Michiru, both are looking at Setsuna.
Haruka: Are you going to tell us now?
Setsuna: ? What do you mean?
Michiru: You are hiding something... [thought awhile]... Is it about the Lady?
Setsuna face showed no expression to the senshi.
Hotaru: Please tell us what is going on. What is going to happen to the future when Prince Endymion disappeared.
Setsuna's eyes still gazing through Haruka's, knowing in Haruka's eyes she saw a betrayer.
Setsuna: You know perfectly what my job are, one of them is secrecy...
Haruka know there is something wrong from Setsuna expressions. So wrong that she felt it is okay to make her tell them. Setsuna is hiding something... probably hiding the secret of that Mysterious Lady. What is she to her? Why is it so important to hide that information from us? It is so dangerous to tell us that if she did, the future may end? What is going on?
Haruka's mind was going crazy from all this questions in her head. What is Setsuna up to?
Setsuna[thinking]: You are here... but why?

Steps of Hikawa Shrine
As Yaten still sitting on the steps, he felt someone watching him. He turned around quickly.
Yaten: Who is there?!
Midway from the temple to the steps, there stood Taiki.
Yaten: Oh. It's only you...
Taiki: Who do you think it was? A ghost? [slight smile]
Yaten: [turned back his head] I never thought you would joke in a time like this.
Taiki:... [Walked over to Yaten]
Taiki wore a sleeveless shirt. His bandage to his whole left arm was still there.
Taiki: [looks to the sky] Princess... I'm sure she is alright...
Yaten: ...
The two StarLights look to the sky, to the stars.. Wondering, hoping, and wishing in their hearts, to this present life.
To be continue...
