"I'm hungry!!!" Usagi moaned.
"Fine, fine. I'll start lunch," Mako said and walked over to where they kept some of the foods. "Minna, we don't have enough food to make dinner!"
"Well someone go into the woods and look for something!" Usagi said and pouted a little.
"It's winter Usagi. Nothing grows during winter," Ami said.
"Looks like we'll have to go into town," Taiki said.
"Here," Haruka said and tossed everyone a cloak. "Wear these over your head so no one recognizes you."
"Will you three stay here?" Luna asked the Three Lights.
"Sure," Yaten said.
"Don't be so lazy Yaten," Seiya said.
"Shut up," Yaten said.
"Arigato," Luna said. So the eight girls began their journey into the woods. They walked for about a hour and an half before they finally reached the town. Artemis suggested it would be best if they all spilt up as eight people in cloaks would look conspicuss. So they all split up and went to buy some food for themselves.
"Now remember Usagi," Luna said and leapt up onto her shoulder, "Don't do anything that would give yourself away."
"Okay Luna," Usagi said and headed towards a nice food cart. She drooled over everything for about fifteen minutes when they was a loud crash from across the busy street.
"Let go of me!" someone yelled. Usagi turned around to see a raven-haired girl yelling at some slavers.
"Shut up you!" he yelled and grabbed her arm. She struggled for a moment then pulled out of small piece of paper.
"Let me go or else," she said.
"What is a weakling like you going to do to me?" he asked.
"AKURYO TAISAN!!!" she yelled and stuck onto his forehead. The edges caught on fire for a moment and he collapsed to the ground. The girl hurried back into her house.
MATTE!!!" Usagi called after her. She pushed her way through the crowd until she got to her front step.
"Usagi! What are you doing?" Luna asked.
"I think she might be a senshi! Did you see that power she had? It was amazing!" Usagi exclaimed.
"You act more like a senshi everyday Usagi," Luna said. Usagi nodded then knocked on the door.
"I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY!!" a female voice cried from inside the hut.
"I'm not a slaver," Usagi said and stepped half-way into the house. "I want to say that was amazing what you did out there!" The girl's violet eyes met Usagi's blue one.
"Gomen nasai and arigato! I thought you might've been that slaver again," she said.
"What's you name?" Usagi asked
"Rei," she replied.
"Well, nice to meet you Rei. I'm Usagi," she said. Suddenly Rei jumped up and looked out her small window. "What's wrong?"
"Gomen. Those slavers have been after me for months now. I tend to get jumpy," Rei answered.
"I understand," Usagi said. "I have an idea! Why don't you come stay with me and my friends! We live in the forest and no one will ever find us!"
"I really don't like that idea," Rei said.
"Rei-" Luna began.
"That cat can talk!" Rei exclaimed.
"You seem to be the first to be surprised," Usagi mumbled.
" Rei, I think you might be one of the last senshi we are looking for. If you won't come for yourself please come for the safety of the world," Luna stated.
"Fine, I'll come," Rei mumbled. "If it will get those darn slavers out of my hair."
"Yay!!!" Usagi said. "Come on! We need to meet the others back soon!" Usagi grabbed Rei's wrist and took off running. They met the others back at the agreed spot and Usagi introduced Rei to everyone. They made sure they had all the supplies they needed and headed back to the cave.
They approached the cave about two hours later. Taiki was sitting outside under a tree reading, but the other two were no where in sight. He glanced up. "Hino-san," he said. Seiya and Yaten appeared from inside the cave and a surprised look went across their face.
"I feel like I remember you three from somewhere," Rei said. "Seiya...Taiki...and...Yaten," she said a recited their names.
"Rei! How did you know that?" Ami asked.
"I thought this might happen. Since we only have one more person to find your memories will start coming back," Luna said.
"I'm starting to remember why I hated you so much Seiya-san," Haruka said with a threatening look. "As soon as I get my space sword back I swear I'll-"
"Haruka-san! Be nice to Seiya-kun!" Usagi said. Haruka grunted and shot a dirty look at Seiya.
"I'm starting to remember you Yaten. Now I remember why I hate you," Minako said.
"Actual the two of you had quite a thing for each other in your past lives!" Seiya said and smirked.
"NANI YO?!" Yaten yelled and started ranting at Seiya. Minako just stood there and blushed a little. Ami glanced at Taiki and smiled shyly at him. He smiled back. A short scene flashed through Usagi's mind. She and Seiya were alone in a room.
"I'm serious about yesterday," Seiya said. "After this concert, I'll sweep you away. I like you that much. I wanted to let you know this much. Now I can go all out for the final concert. I hope you can meet your boyfriend soon."
"Seiya, I'm sorry," Usagi answered.
"You don't have to apologize. But I wish I could have met you much sooner," he said and kissed her cheek. The flash back ended.
"Was Seiya in love with me in my past life?" Usagi thought. Seiya knew who the last person they need to find was--Mamoru. Back then, yes she did love him. But only as a friend. That wasn't what he wanted, but he wanted her to be happy. For her, if happiness was being with Mamoru then he would let Mamoru have her. "Seiya-kun...were...were you in love with me?" Usagi whispered.
***********************************************************************
I know that part where Seiya confesses his love isn't exactly right but it's the closest I could get and since I don't have my friend's Stars tapes I can't look it up You get that drift of things though. Jaa ne for now!
