---------- Konnichiwa, jolly readers!! ^_^ I will admit this is my first Seiya-Usagi fanfiction, actually only my third fanfiction total. I started this several months ago and have been working on it slowly, so the first four parts are here already. The rest should be coming along as I find the time. And, yes, it is rather ecchi at times. Tastefully, I believe. Don't expect any detailed hentai, though. (Sorry to disappoint you guys :P )
What more to say? Hopefully if you love Seiya and Usagi you'll love this fic.-------------------
In Tokyo the sun was shining. Fluffy white clouds wandered lazily across the sky, and only a lingering
smell remained of yesterday's rain.
Usagi walked home from school not noticing the sunlight that warmed her neck. Her mind was too busy
trying to formulate a way to break the news of this latest failed test to her parents. Sure, she should have
studied, but, oh, she hadn't wanted to. And when Makoto had called, inviting her to an afternoon of shopping,
how could she refuse? Besides, wasn't building a lifelong friendship with somebody much more important than
one measly algebra test? Ok, Usagi admitted, so she'd just wanted to go shopping and get away from her
homework. Now, in return, she had a big red 30 staring back at her. She groaned inside when she imagined
her mother's reaction. Teeth would bare and feathers would fly this time.
Maybe, just maybe, she would get lucky. Usagi slithered inside the house; she could hear her mother
doing dishes in the kitchen. She tiptoed upstairs, left her school uniform in a heap on the floor, and
pulled on a pair of white Capri pants and a pink T-shirt. Coming back downstairs, she checked to make sure
there were still noises coming from the kitchen. She picked up her purse and opened the door, preparing
to slip out again.
"Usagi? Is that you? How was school today?"
"Bye, Mom, I'm going to Rei's temple!" She shut the door behind her and made a break for Rei's.
Now, free in the sunshine and without the burden of the test, Usagi could enjoy the beautiful day for what
it was. Maybe she would stop by Crown's arcade to see if Motoki was working today before heading to Rei's
place.
Usagi gave a little skip. She had a feeling today was special. She didn't know why, perhaps just
because it was a beautiful day and she had people who loved her. This Earth - she loved it, and she had a
wonderful future laid out before her. After all, she was nearly eighteen, a woman in every respect.
Together with her beloved, her Mamo-chan, she was happy. That is, aside from the occasional math test.
As she passed she glanced at a large poster on a building: an advertisement for the Megalopolis
amusement park. There was a picture, and in the middle of all the rides and attractions stood the grand
Ferris Wheel. Usagi remembered what it was like to soar high above all the people and buildings, sharing
your own private box with one special person, the whole world laid out below for you to enjoy. People
scurrying about like ants below, being so near to the clouds you felt you could touch them - it was like
the whole world belonged to you... just you and that one person...
But no, as she remembered that day in the Ferris Wheel, it hadn't been her Mamo-chan she had been with.
As she walked on, her thoughts drifted away to other matters. Rei was going to know she had taken
an algebra test this morning; Ami had probably already been to the temple boasting about her perfect score
(though Ami would hardly admit she was boasting). Rei was going to ask about her score just to embarrass her.
That was just like Rei, to do that sort of thing.
"Oi!"
Usagi stopped but didn't look back. That voice... there was something oddly familiar in it. Slowly she
turned around.
Seiya... leaning against a tree, looking at her. Was it really him? Those jet-black curls falling
over his forehead, his long lashes shading those blue eyes, the care-nothing manner in his long lean body. It
was him - but what was that look in his eyes? There seemed a sadness, a loneliness in the way he looked at her,
or maybe he had just aged. But it had only been a year and a half since they'd last seen each other.
The look disappeared now, replaced by a wide grin. There was the Seiya she knew and loved. He watched
her with a mischievous, flirtatious expression. There was no doubt in her mind, it was him, but how...?
"Seiya...?"
He pushed away from the tree and strode toward her. "Hi, Odango, I see you haven't changed at all. Still
haven't grown up, have you?"
"For your information, I am much more mature!"
"Ha! I'll believe it when I see it!"
"But Seiya... what are you doing here? Why are you...?"
He grinned. "We've come back to Earth. Taiki, Yaten, and Kakyuu-hime, too. All of us."
"What happened, Seiya? Is it another enemy?"
Seiya's face sobered. "Yes. But this time, it's an enemy much more cunning and destructive than Galaxia."
Usagi gasped.
"Our planet has been taken over by cockroaches," Seiya told her, dead serious.
Her eyes widened in horror. "Giant cockroaches?" Had Kinmokusei become trapped in a cheap 1960's horror
flick?
Seiya laughed out loud. "Yes, Odango, giant mutant cockroaches!" He laughed and laughed.
Usagi was getting annoyed. "Hey! That's not funny! Why did you come here if there's no enemy?!"
He stopped laughing, gasping for breath, then suddenly every sign of amusement disappeared. He gazed at the
girl in front of him. "Coming here to see you isn't reason enough?" he asked softly.
"Well, yeah, I didn't mean that," she squirmed under his gaze, "...but don't make up stories about cockroaches!"
"It's not a story."
Usagi sweatdropped. "So there really are giant cockroaches?"
Seiya laughed again. "No, Odango, small ones. They must have gotten into our belongings before we left
Earth and we took them with us to Kinmokusei. Now they've multiplied and they're wreaking havoc on the plant
life. They seem to like Kinmokusei flora very much. They ate Kakyuu's flower garden as soon as she had
replanted it. Now that pissed her off, if you can imagine that. So we came here to find some way to eradicate
the cockroaches, since all our efforts seemed to be useless."
"Wow..." Usagi mused. "Setsuna-san might know of a plant that repels cockroaches."
"Don't worry about it. Kakyuu has Taiki and Yaten to help her, so I'm sure the three of them will have
no problem finding something like that. I came to see you."
"Oh... I see."
"It's been so long, Odango. Have you missed me at all?"
She looked at him. How could she lie? She'd gotten so used to his smiles and his teasing, that after
Galaxia was gone and he had left, there was an emptiness there in her life, even if she did have Mamo-chan
back. The times were rarer now, but there were still days when she would think of him and wonder how he was
doing. She threw her arms around him suddenly. "I have. I have missed you, Seiya! It's so great to see you
again!"
Seiya was startled when she hugged him. He hesitated at first, then held her tightly close to him,
breathing in the sweet smell of her hair. After a second or two, Usagi squirmed out of his arms, embarrassed
and blushing a bit. "It's just been such a long time."
