Chapter 9: Ami's Mischief, Seiya's Thoughts
Gentle warmth spread through Usagi as Ami's equipment bathed her and Mamoru in a
pale blue light. The feeling was so soothing, making her feel as though she had just
drunken a warm cup of cocoa. So relaxing.
Without any further thoughts Usagi fell asleep.
Mamoru kept his head turned so he could see Usagi's reaction to the light, greatly
annoyed when he noticed her breathing pattern had slowed down. How could she sleep
through this procedure? His entire body felt as though tiny needles were prickling him,
yet he wasn't able to talk. Ami had given him something to make sure he couldn't
speak through this, probably so he wouldn't complain and bother Usagi.
Like that would be a problem.
Mentally he sighed, wishing the five minute task would only take a few seconds. Perhaps
it did only take a few seconds, and Ami was torturing him in her own way. but no, she
wouldn't do that, none of Usagi's Senshi would, since she had told them not to.
Would they?
He couldn't really know, since Usagi had fallen asleep. Maybe the ginzouishou kept her
from feeling the unpleasantness of Ami's creation, or maybe she was still as capable of
sleeping anywhere as she had been as a teenager. He wanted to glare at Ami, to express
his displeasure in some manner, any manner, and mentally cursed her for making sure he
couldn't.
'For all I know Usagi could have told her to do this. but why would she? I already
signed those damned papers Rei brought to me, and the whole world will probably know
about it tomorrow morning. ugh, in this instance, damn Usagi and her subconscious
wishes upon her crystal.'
He was scowling darkly by the time Ami shut off the machine, and he stood the moment
he was able to. She gave him a serene smile that would have made Usagi proud, one full
of complete innocence. She didn't catch what her muttered under his breath, and really
didn't care. The past two months had brought each of the Senshi into their full Planetary
Powers, and each one was perfectly capable of warding off any attempts the Earth Prince
made to disrupt their life here.
She glanced at Seiya hovering around the entrance to the lab and hid a grin. "Seiya, why
don't you take Usagi to her room? She'll be asleep for a few more hours."
Seiya was by Usagi's side almost instantly, scooping the slighter woman up into her arms
and holding her close. "Ami, why did he give you such a dark look? He seemed in pain,
and Usagi is sleeping like nothing happened at all."
Ami chuckled softly; her deep blue eyes held such a mischievous glint that Seiya couldn't
help but grin back in response. "Oh, I didn't do anything to him, since I promised Usagi I
wouldn't. Rather, I didn't do anything for him, while I adjusted the settings with the
Mercury Computer to make Usagi comfortable."
Seiya laughed softly, still grinning. "Well, with that in mind, remind me never to make
you angry before my annual checkups." With that as her parting words Seiya left the lab,
taking Usagi back to her room so she could continue resting.

*** Seiya's P.O.V. ***
Ami can be devious when she wants to be, that much I got to see today. well, perhaps
devious is a bit strong of a word for her. Usagi is, really, the only person who has
forgiven Mamoru on any level, and he's only alive because she asked everyone to leave
him alone. And because we care so much for her, we do as she has asked.
I'll have to remember Ami's example if I ever encounter Mamoru on my own. His
attitude has improved a bit once the world 'remembered' that he was the Crown Prince of
Earth, and he isn't as hostile to me as he once was. but that could just be because he
realizes that if he's too nasty to me, Usagi will make things to where he never gets to
know his daughter. She wouldn't do so to be mean of course, but rather, to keep
Small Lady safe from bad influences.
Everyone who knows Usagi, or Serenity, adores her. There has already been public
debate on whether or not Mamoru should be allowed to remain the Crown Prince, since
he had much less to do with saving the planet than Usagi and her Senshi. Usagi has
already declined that offer once, and I have a feeling she'll have to do so again in the
future.
Then again, she may not have too. Ami and Taiki have told everyone except Usagi,
privately, that each planet has been regenerated, and is capable of freely sustaining life
once more. All that's needed now is people. and they're both sure that among the
inhabitants of Earth exist people with the blood of the planets running in their veins. We
all believe that, eventually, they'll seek one another out and form groups, and ask their
respective Senshi to return to their planet.
Earth is gonna lose a lot of chefs and idols.
I wonder then just how life will be. I've been on Earth well over a year now, constantly
by Usagi's side, interacting with her Senshi, that I just can't imagine anything changing
from how it is now.
I wonder how Earth will react if it's adored Princess Serenity will return to her Moon
Kingdom. That was part of her destiny, wasn't it? A reborn Silver Millennium? Where
will I fit into that future, that continued destiny?
Will she continue to love me, despite my being female? And if she does, can she continue
to be with me, or will our relationship need to be sacrificed for political reasons?
As I stare down at her peaceful, angelic face, I try to push these haunting thoughts away.
Usagi will always love me, in one form or another. but despite how close we have
become, and how much I love her, is there room in her destiny for me?
