To Where You Are

Who Can Say For certain?

Maybe you're still here.

I feel your arms around me

Your Memories so clear.

I watched Usako fall asleep. It broke my heart to break hers, but I also knew that I had to protect her that fateful day.

*FlashBack*

The parade was to celebrate the rebirth of the life on the planets. (AN Meaning there is now life on other planets and normal ppl know about it.) Serenity and I were on the last float. As the float moved slowly down the streets we waved and smiled. Suddenly I got the feeling that I used to get when Sailor Moon was in danger. It had been a long time since I had felt it, and I didn't particularly miss it. I looked around for the source of the danger and then I saw the sniper. There was a shot fired and I jumped in front of Usako and pushed her out of the way. I felt immense pain and then... there was nothing. I didn't feel any pain or worry about anything. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world. That is until I saw my body lying on top of Usako, she was covered in my blood. I watched helplessly as she tried desperately to awaken me. It was then that I realized that I would never awaken. I was dead.

*End Flashback*

Now I watched Usako sleep clinging to my pillow as if for dear life. She cries constantly, even in her sleep. I don't know what to do. Everyone but Usako can see me. Sometimes Usako can hear my anguished cries, but usually they echo unheard. I sat on the bed next to her and tried to stroke her beautiful face, but I had forgotten again that it was no use. I couldn't touch her. Since my business on earth had gone unfinished I could be seen and heard by most, but I couldn't touch. I ached to take Usako in my arms and kiss away the pain. Kiss away the tears that fell slowly down her cheeks, but it was useless o hope. I would never be able to.

I stiffened when I heard a sound. I saw Seiya come into the room. I wanted to thank him for watching over Usako and trying to comfort her, but at the same time I wanted more than anything to punch his lights out. He could touch her and stroke her face, and while he never touched her inappropriately I know that he loved her. I also knew that Usako harbored feelings for him, even if they weren't romantic.

"Domou arigatou Seiya-san." I mumbled.

"There's no need to thank me, Endymion-sama." He replied. "I know that you probably want to kill me right now. I would if I were in your position."

"I do envy you, but I can't blame it on you. It isn't your fault. Just please make sure that Usako stays healthy. She looks so pail and thin right now." I said.

"She misses you." Was his only reply. His thoughts seemed to be far away. Finally he spoke. "We are all wondering if we will ever hear her speak again. She hasn't talked to anyone since the funeral."

"I know. Please encourage her to go on without me. Eventually try to get her to fall in love again. But make sure they're nice. Please protect Usako in my place." I begged holding back tears. Seiya looked at me. Then he seemed to make up his mind about something.

"I won't have to. Soon you will be able to protect her as you always did." He said. With that he walked out of the room and closed the door softly behind him.

Ok minna-san that's all for now. I made Seiya a guy in this, because I always think of him as a guy and if I try to switch now it will just be confusing for everyone. Anyways I hope you like it. Reviews are always good.

Remember: Koisuru Otome wa Makenai!! A Maiden in love won't lose!!
