"Endymion-sama, maybe you should tell Usagi that she needs to perform
a ceremony, she won't be happy, but I don't think that it's the right time
to tell her Seiya's wish. She won't perform the ceremony, if she thinks it
will hurt someone." I said leaving.
To Where You Are

*Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are*
I spoke in Japanese, the language of the moon. I chanted the ancient prayer. Now It was Seiya's turn to speak.
"Nich, tsuki, hoshi, chi. Hi, kaze, mizu, to. (Sun, moon stars, earth. Fire wind, water, soil.)" He chanted.
"Now Sieya, you are granted one wish, ask the ancient spirits and pray with all your heart." I said, reciting the text.
"I wish to grant King Endymion of Earth life." Seiya said.
"Prince Seiya, that is not possible. A life cannot be created without a different life being taken away." I said choking back tears. I wished that it was possible, but I knew that it would never be.
"I wish to give my life, so that his majesty may live." Seiya said in a dead serious tone.
I looked at him, he wasn't joking. He was totally serious.
"Seiya-kun are you absolutely sure? This is a huge decision." I was amazed. Could he be giving his life so that I could be with Mamo-chan?
"I am sure your majesty. I have thought about this for a long time, and I know that it is best for everyone, especially you and Endymion- sama." He said looking straight into my eyes. Even I could see that he loved me. I could have loved him; in another time and place I could have loved him. I felt guilty, it must hurt to love someone, and then give you life so that they could be with someone else. I looked down. How could I be so selfish? I was happy that he was killing himself, so that I could be with Mamo-chan. I couldn't expect him to go through with this.
"Seiya-kun, I can't allow you to go through with this. I can't allow you to die just so that I can be happy." I said trying to keep my voice steady. I wanted more than anything to except his offer, and run over and hug him, but I couldn't. That would be selfish.
"Serenity, no, Usagi I want to do this. Please allow me to. I'm sure that you can tell that I love you, but it's not my place to interfere. You and Mamoru-san were fated to love each other. I was fated to love you from afar, and show my love when you needed it. Now you need it. You need me to do this so that you and Mamoru can live together. You two can't live without each other and I see that now, so please allow me to do this for you." He said not taking his eyes off of me the entire time. I looked up at him. I knew he was right; I couldn't live without Mamo-chan. I was slowly but surely dieing. I could feel it, and whether or not they were conscious of it, so could everyone else. He stepped up onto the platform where I had knelt praying. "Please Usa-chan; let me do this for you. Please." I stood and hugged him, tears streamed from my eyes.
"Thank you Seiya, thank you so much." I cried into his shirt. He hugged me back gently.
"Anything for you little rabbit." He whispered into my hair. "Shall we finish the ceremony?" I nodded kneeling back down in front of the sacred fire. He walked around to the other side of the fire and knelt down. I could only see his eyes and the top of his head across the fire. His eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Now pray with all your heart, and the gods will grant your wish." I said looking into his eyes. There was a flash of light and when in subsided in the place of Seiya knelt Mamoru. I stood up at the same time Mamo-chan did. I stood there for a moment. Had it worked? Was Mamo-chan alive . . . was Seiya-chan dead? I walked over to him as if in a trance. I stopped once I was right in front of him. Slowly I reached up, and let my hand touch his face. "Mamo chan?" I whispered.
"Usako?" He replied. He gently caressed my face with the back of his hand. I looked up at him and my eyes filled with tears. One by one happy tears fell down my cheeks. I didn't bother to wipe them away. I was so happy. Finally we could be together. He bent down and kissed away my tears. I cupped his cheek in my hand, and pulled his mouth down to mine. Finally we were together, we could live together in harmony until we died *together*.
Ok Minna-san, one more chapter. I was wondering, right now I have 21 reviews on this story, do we think that we can get 30?? Please?!?!!?!?!? Anyway I'll try to post soon.
