Chapter 5: Setsuna???, A talk with Usagi...
Hikawa Shrine
[smack]
***
The Inner Senshi sat surrounding Usagi, who look like a wondering ghost. As they tried to cheer Usagi up, they placed sweets in front of her.
All Usagi could think of right now is Mamoru's safety. She wants to know what was going on. Who and why did 'they' took him away from her. Even though all the stuff she loves to eat is right in front of her, she really didn't notice.
***
Rei: [sweatdrop] Oops...
Usagi's face landed on one of the cupcakes. Rei wanted to snap Usagi out of this gaze that she accidentally hit her back just a bit too hard. Knowing Usagi would do something, she didn't. Usagi just got the cupcake crumbs and whip creams off her face and went back to the gaze. The Inner senshi worried more.
Ami: Um... I bet that Haruka and the others know something, right Makoto?[said nervously]
Makoto: Umm... Right.. They probably did... [got a cupcake] Here Usagi...Eat something...
Minako: Yea, eat something...
Usagi: no... [forced smile] I'll be fine... Don't worry about me... [stretched] [got up] I'm going out for a walk.
Just about when Usagi slide the door open, a voice called out to her.
Lady: [echo] Princess...
Usagi stopped.
Rei: What's wrong?
Usagi: [her head facing back to them, shook head] [slide the door open and close it behind her]
Makoto: 'Don't worry about her'... she said it like we can... The more she worry, the more we worry.. sigh.

Haruka's house
Haruka: Where's Setsuna?
Michiru: She's not here? [calling out from the kitchen]
Haruka[thinking]: What is she up to?...
***
The kids passing by with excitement, running with joy. Other enjoyed their once in a lifetime rides. One nearly puked. Sitting in an amusement park bench, Usagi began thinking...
Usagi: [whisper] I'm not... alone..?... danger...?
As the words come out of her, it began repeating it in her mind. The Mysterious Lady, who is she? Why did she appear in front of her? Why is she so familiar? Usagi can't get that Lady out of her mind. It feels like minutes had passed, even hours. But in reality it was only seconds. As Usagi looks up to the sky, a shadow blocked her face from the sunlight.
Seiya: Odango..
Seiya was wearing a light jacket, causal jeans, sunglasses and a cap.
Usagi: [Looks at Seiya] Seiya!... What are you doing here?
Seiya: I should be the one asking you that.
Usagi: [looks down] ...
Seiya: [sat down on the right side of her] Your friends said that you went for a walk, I was wondering if we could talk...
Usagi: [still looking down][nod]
Seiya: [lean back] You still in love with Mamoru...?
Usagi: [looks at Seiya in amazement] huh?
Seiya: [still lean back] Never mind... Don't worry Odango,... You have to remember I'm protecting you too... I won't let anyone hurt you... I'll fight to the end of the world for you...
Usagi: [went back to looking down] Thanks...
Pause of silence. Kids running by with adventure for the next ride.
Seiya: So, I heard from Minako that your face landed on a cupcake. [jokingly]
Usagi: yea...
Seiya: [looks at Usagi with disappointment of no laughter coming from her] Stop thinking too much about it... it'll just get in to your head.
Usagi: ...
Seiya: Before... you were whispering something... What were you saying?
Usagi: ...
Seiya could see a tight fist Usagi had even tighter now.
Usagi: It was... [looks at Seiya] what the Lady said to me...
Seiya: [in alert] The Lady?!? Did she try to hurt you?
Usagi: No... Her presence was so... familiar...
Seiya: Huh? Familiar?
The story Seiya heard from Usagi encounter with the Mysterious Lady was somehow, strange. The last time he saw her, his home was in rumbles and a sphere attacking them. So, she warned Usagi and maybe even the one that brought them to Earth than, who is the enemy?
Tears began falling on Usagi's face once again.
Seiya: Odango...
Usagi: Why?...[sob]
Usagi felt a gentle hand touched her face, wiping the tears away. As she looks at Seiya, his face was so calm. She missed him. She felt terrible as a friend who didn't show happiness or excitement when they arrived. All she felt was fear and sadness.
Usagi: I'm so sorry Seiya...
Seiya: [still has his hand on her face] shh... [has his other hand and cupped her face][kissed her forehead]
Usagi: [looks at Seiya in surprise]
Seiya: [smiles] [let go of his hands] If you are so worry like this, the others will go crazy...
Usagi: [got up] Then I guess we should go.
Seiya: [got up] [started to walk with Usagi] [thinking] 'You fool!' That's what Yaten will say... Taiki will say that Princess is our top priority. But how can you let go someone you care about so deeply? Even if her destiny is not with you? As your heart aches for her, she aches for another. Am I being foolish? No... I won't accept that. I want to be with her, but how can I? How can I...?
Seiya stopped. Usagi looks back.
Usagi: What's wrong?
Seiya: Gomen nasai...
Usagi: For what?...
Seiya: [his hand brush through his hair] [looks to the sky]
***
Outside Hikawa Shrine.
Setsuna: ...
A black figure appeared behind Setsuna. As Setsuna turned around to look at the Mysterious Lady, Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto.
***
Outside the steps of Hikawa Shrine
Shrriiekk [tires shrieks in a quick stop]
Haruka got out of her car.
Haruka: Hurry!
As Haruka runs to the steps, Hotaru and Michiru followed. They don't know what Haruka was doing before, but once they arrived at Hikawa Shrine, they felt the presence of Setsuna.
When Haruka stopped at the last steps to the Shrine, what she saw was unbelievable. Sailor Pluto was kneeing before that Lady. Hotaru and Michiru didn't believe their eyes either when they got there.
Haruka: What the hell are you doing?!?
The only thing Haruka could see was the back of that Lady. Sailor Pluto got up. About to say something to Haruka, the Mysterious Lady stopped her and she turned around to face Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru.
The Mysterious Lady dressed like the scouts. Her face full with so much emotions. Her long blue hair has the length of Pluto's. Her staff, just like what the StarLights said, contained an aura of the sky.
Hotaru stepped forward and transformed to Sailor Saturn.
Saturn: How come... I know you, as if I saw you somewhere before? Who are you?
The only answer Saturn got was a warm smile.
To be continue...
Note from the author: I'm sorry if this story is somehow weird, and not consistent to my other chapters of the story. In this chapter, I just have no clue what to do... No matter how much I read it over and over again, I just can't fix it... Especially the part of Seiya and Usagi conversation, [sigh of disappointment] -_- Gomen nasai
