"Seiya-kun...were..were you in love with me?" Usagi asked. Was he in love with her? Of course he was! But what could he say?

"No, of course not," he lied.

"Oh, that's good," she said. She would have felt too guilty if he had been in love with her. She liked Seiya a lot but there was just some reason she felt like she couldn't be with him.

After everyone had began to regain they're memories Usagi began to pester Mako to make dinner. Mako agreed to start as long as Usagi helped. Usagi cheerfully agreed and went to work cutting the mushrooms. Everyone else sat over by the fire and began to talk to one another about their past lives.

Suddenly there was a yell from one of the bushes as a man charged through their camp site. He knocked over the kettle over the fire and cut Usagi's arm with his sword. Even though Usagi didn't know this man, she felt very hurt. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He was obviously sent by the queen, but he wasn't dressed like the previous guards. He had better armor and a better sword.

"Who the hell are you?" Haruka asked.

"I am a general sent by Shi-sama to kill you," he said and pointed at Usagi.

"Another one?" Mako exclaimed. "Dammit!"

"Who are you?! What is your name?!" Usagi yelled, trying to stop the bleeding of her arm.

"If you must know, my name is Mamoru," he said.

"Mamoru?" Taiki gasped.

"You mean..."Yaten said.

"You traitor!" Seiya said defensively.

"Mamoru..." Usagi said to herself. There was something about that name. "Mamoru...Mamo...Ma..."

"I'll kill you all," he said.

"I'll kill you first!" Haruka said. They began to fight. Haruka was good but Mamoru was much better. Usagi remembered something. It just clicked in her brain.

"MAMO-CHAN!!!" she cried. "Haruka! Don't kill him!! He's the last soldier!! Don't kill him!!!"

"She's right," Luna said.

"But if that's the last soldier we've been looking for why isn't recovering any memories?" Ami asked.

"He hasn't had enough contact with you," Luna said.

"So if we can find a way to keep him here for a while, maybe he'll start to remember?" Michiru said.

"It's worth a try," Setsuna said.

"Try to restrain him so we can keep him with us for a while! Maybe then he'll start to remember," Rei said. Thinking quick, Haruka picked a rope off the floor and started to use it like a whip. She quickly had a hold of him arms, so he couldn't use his sword. She yanked on the rope and pulled him to the ground. Mako pounced on his back and tied up his legs. They picked him up and sat him down in the cave. He yelled at them for a while but after seeing he was being ignored he gave up.

Mako whipped up dinner and they all enjoyed a beef stew. After Usagi had eaten her share Mako handed her a bowl. "Why don't you go try to feed our hostage," Mako suggested.

"Okay," Usagi said and walked into the cave. "Are you hungry?" she asked him. He glared at her. "Don't worry. The food isn't poisoned," she said and took a sip of the soup. "It's really good. Mako is a great cook."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" he asked. "I'm trying to kill you."

"Because you're my warrior and my prince," she said. He gave her a puzzled look. "Back in our past life, when I was Sailormoon you were my prince."

"What are you talking about?" She set the bowl of stew down on the ground.

"I'm just now regaining my memories, but I remember your face and everything about you. I...I love you Mamo-chan!" she said and kissed him. "Even if you are trying to attack me it's not your fault." He sat there in shock for a moment, but then remembered who she was.

"Don't be stupid," he said. "I'm here to kill you and trust me I will."

"Do what you like," she said and smiled. "But first you have to eat your dinner." She started to feed him since he couldn't feed himself because his hands were tied up. After she was done she got up and left. He glared at her.

That night while everyone was asleep, Mamoru pulled a knife he had stashed in his back pocket out. He cut the ropes that tied him up loose and picked up his sword. He approached Usagi's be and drew his sword. He placed it above her. He looked at her sleeping. She looked so peaceful. She would look peaceful dead too. But she was so pretty. He lifted his sword higher to kill her but something was holding him back. There was something about her that made him uncofotrable.

"What do you think you're doing?" a voice said. He turned around and saw Haruka standing there. "I don't know how you got free or why you haven't killed her yet, but I'll make sure you don't."

"Don't worry yourself. I was just leaving," Mamoru said.

"You better leave. And don't come back until you remember," Haruka said and pointed her sword at him.

"Fine," he said. He put away his sword and walked away.

"Mamo-chan! Mamo-chan!" Usagi cried. She had waken up that morning to find Mamoru missing.

"Usagi," Minako grumbled rubbing her eyes. "Shut up."

"Mamoru's GONE!" Usagi exclaimed.

"I let him go," Haruka said.

"What! WHY?"

"He'll come back when he remember you."
