The blinding light drowned out all sounds, eyes were shielded, and the attacks that Luna had thrown vanished into thin air. Slowly the light died until it was just a shimmering glow that surrounded Usagi, casting the rest of the room into a dull eerie type of light. "What the hell?" Wu Fei whispered his black eyes were fixated on the girl that floated above him as he spoke. "Serenity-samma.the crystal." Sailor Pluto whispered raising her head slightly; deep emerald tresses fell in front of her maroon pools. "What?" Quatre questioned his voice full of awe, as he wanted to know what Pluto had just whispered. But he got no response, every senshi, boy; warrior and even Luna had their eyes trained on the tenshi. Usagi floated before them, a few feet in the air, eyes closed and silver locks floated elegantly around her. Cheeks were slightly flushed and shinning with drying tears, long coal black lashes shimmered with the remains of her tears. Usagi's body was clad in nothing but ribbons, a symbol shone brightly on her forehead, it resembled a golden crescent moon, the ribbons than started to form ending in a pure white dress that clung to Usagi's womanly figure. Slowly Usagi opened her eyes to reveal glazed sapphire hues, than her slim hands raised and the thing that had caused the bright light was revealed floating delicately between her palms. A small crystal and it spun slowly around looking rather harmless. "Iie!" Luna gasped reminding everyone she was still there as a hand flew to her mouth, midnight blue pools widened, she than shot forward, hands outstretched to grab the still twirling crystal (which to a normal person seemed nothing more than a mere trinket). "Stop Luna." Usagi's voice was calm and serene as she ordered the charging women to halt, but Luna took no heed only picked up her pace till she was mere inches away, her long manicured fingers clawed at the air and it looked as if she might actually successfully grab the crystal. Usagi's sapphire hues were still glazed giving her the look of being there without really being there, but than her eyes gained a slight shimmer of pity. Before any warning could be muttered Luna smacked the wall as she slumped to the floor rather unceremoniously. No one said anything, it was completely silent except for the battered breath, and time seemed to slow until a second felt like a millennia. Usagi than floated gracefully down, her feet touched the floor as her eyes grew more into focus. "Minna?" She asked her voice soft as she looked at each of them, than down at herself to see why they were staring for she thought maybe she had something on her chest, "Nani?" She asked obviously not aware of what had just occurred. "Serenity Hime." Eight senshi bowed respectively, "Matte what happened to Luna-san?" She asked looking over to the slumped form, worry etched into her angelic features. Uranus looked up, opening her mouth to speak no word left her parted lips for she than noticed the three generals, emerald eyes grew to tiny slits, her jaw tightened and her firsts clenched as she jumped up, not taking any time she made her way towards the unsuspecting boys, "I never liked your three especially you Seiya!" Her voice was tight, "I never trusted you and now its obvious why!" Her tone rose with each word, she held no weapon but that didn't faze her. Before any warning could be given her fist shot forward, a satisfying smack of skin reached everyone's ears. Seiya reeled back clutching his jaw and wincing in pain, striking blue eyes widened before narrowing as he scowled, "Bitch!" He hissed lurching forward his own fist extended smacking Uranus' nose, it was than that all hell broke loose, Yaten and Taiki ran forward to help their comrade just as Neptune ran to help her koi, the inners looked to Usagi while the boys tried to remove the shackles that held Heero. "Stop it!" Usagi's voice was shrill as she yelled to be heard over the racket but no one heard her. Uranus' nose was bleeding heavily and Seiya's breath was labored as they threw themselves at each other trying unsuccessfully to tear out one another throats, Neptune, Taiki and Yaten fought bitterly when suddenly the fighting ceased as Usagi stood between Uranus and Seiya, "Both of you just stop! Uranus I thought your were better than this!" Usagi's tome was soft but at the same time it was loud, "And Seiya! I know you don't remember..demo you have to help us. You have to remember." Usagi ignored the others for a moment and turned to face Seiya fully, two shades of blue clashed as she took his hands in hers, at first he was startled but as he gazed into her eyes he slowly calmed, a flicker of light entered Seiya's eyes and everyone who was watching noticed. The flicker made Uranus squirm even harder against the senshi holding her but they gave little to her struggles, "Seiya-kun." Usagi whispered softly thinking of all the times they had spent in the past.

::Flashbacks:: A blonde girl is walking closely to a man with short, slightly curly coal black hair, her arms encircle one of his and she looks at him with love and compassion. Screaming is heard as three males make their way through a crowd of gushing girls, one has silver hair the other chestnut brown and the last striking black, the trio's hair is long and tied at the nape of their necks in ponytails, you can't see their eyes for they are hidden behind dark sunglasses, as the three pass the couple the one with black hair stops and stares at the girl, as if memorized before merely shaking his head and walking on.

The same blonde haired petite girl is sneaking slowly along a sidewalk, sun kissed hair pulled into a strange style adorned her head, she had sparkling ocean blue orbs, a black cat was perched upon her shoulder, slowly she came upon a section marked "Authorized Personnel Only". She begins to sneak in that direction. As she passes a park bench, a voice speaks sharply, "You're not supposed to go there," and the girl is startled. A boy with olive skin and long dark hair tied at the nape of his neck looks up and is startled to see the girl as he remembers her from the airport, the boy sees that he obviously isn't recognized, "You don't remember.." "Have we met somewhere?" "You don't know me?" "No." She shakes her head sending locks of blonde strands flying. "Oh.. Maybe I'm not as famous as I think I am." The boy gets up and turns to walk away but before he does he casts a look over his shoulder, "Ja ne....Odango" That causes the girl to get mad as she yells, "Only Mamo-chan can call me that!" But the boy seems to not hear.

Later the boy and his two 'brothers' come to the girl's school, she finds out that they are the three hot new idols and that belong to the band, "The Three Lights." And the one she had been talking to was Seiya, he sat behind her and insisted on calling her 'Odango' even though she told him her name was Usagi, Seiya believes that 'Odango' suits her better, much to Usagi's annoyance.

Usagi and Seiya become good friends, they have tiny fights but obviously enjoy each other's company. Finally Seiya tells Usagi that they are going on a date and that she is to meet him at the park. Usagi has little time to make excuses for he runs off. The date starts off somewhat shaky and Usagi can't help but wonder why she came when she spots a keychain catcher machine, Usagi than spotted a cute bear. Seiya played the game and got the bear. Usagi was very happy, but that happiness only lasted for a moment "Thank you." She whispered reaching for the bear. Seiya held a look of puzzlement, "For what?" Usagi's look didn't faze, she merely smiled, "The bear." Seiya put the bear on his own shirt, "If you want one yourself, catch it yourself." Later on Seiya asked about Usagi's boy friend, a look of sadness crossed her face as she explained that she wrote letters to Mamoru every day, but she never got any response. Seiya said that Mamoru must be playing games with Usagi, but Usagi said that it wasn't so. After she said that Seiya couldn't help but look at the girl sitting next to him, her head was turned towards the window her reflection pale, a sad sort of look haunted her eyes. A feeling came over Seiya that Usagi felt was the princess that they were looking for, but it passed as quickly as it had come, Seiya merely told Usagi to cheer up. After the date, Seiya hands the bear keychain to Usagi, as a way of thanking her for spending the day with him.

A few days later Seiya ends up at Usagi's house when Usagi left him to get tea sapphire hues wander to a picture of Usagi and her boyfriend, walking over he looked at it for a moment before speaking, "Don't make her so sad." His voice was somewhat hushed as he said the words and their was an undertone of protectiveness to it.

Usagi and Seiya are challenged to a softball game but Usagi admits she is terrible at the game, Seiya offers to help her and they practice the day before the game late into the night, as they finished Usagi plopped down on a bench, Seiya sat next to her with Chibi Chibi in between them. They looked up at the stars and were quiet for a few moments lost in the dark blanket of the sky. Seiya was the one to break the silence, "Every living thing on this planet has a glittering star inside their bodies." "A glittering star?"-U "They say this in a place far away. Everyone has it. The stronger the star is, the brighter it glitters. Yours is glittering exceptionally bright."-S Usagi's cheeks start to glow pink, "Is this how you always pick up girls?" Seiya says nothing for a moment, "I'm serious." "Is this how you seriously try to pick up girls?" Usagi teased. It was obvious that Seiya was growing impatient, "Listen carefully! I like the glitter that you have. I don't want to lose this game." Slightly startled Usagi speaks up, "But she's the ace and number four batter. Even I know how great that is." "Don't give up. I don't give up easily." Was all Seiya said as the quiet once again takes over.

Usagi had been targeted for her star seed when she was confronted she agreed to give it up without a fight but a red rose interfered, Usagi grew hopeful only to have her hopes dashed....for it had only been Sailor Star Fighter. Usagi and Seiya were in the rain on the roof of the school. Usagi was crying as she spoke her yellow bangs plastered to her forehead and her tears mixing with the droplets of rain, "I've never been good at trying hard. I've tried to try hard studying, but I always end up eating and sleeping." Usagi started crying harder, her shoulder's heaved as she spoke, "When I saw the rose, I remembered him. I thought that I can be all right by myself. But I can't. I can't stand it any more. I want to see Mamo-chan." She kneeled as she said this face towards the ground to hide her red eyes, slowly Seiya bends down and lifts her chin, "Am I not good enough? Am I not good enough?" His question goes unanswered.

The next day Michiru and Haruka confronted Usagi they told her that it was time to say goodbye to Seiya. Usagi, Chibi Chibi, Haruka, and Michiru went to the three lights' dressing room. Seiya asked everyone to let them be alone, and Haruka said that they would give them five minutes.When they were finally alone Seiya turned to Usagi, "I'm serious about yesterday. 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 boy friend soon." His tone played his emotions out beautifully. Usagi averted her eyes, "Seiya, I'm sorry." "You don't have to apologize. But I wish I could have met you much sooner." His tone was dull his dreams slashed as he knew Usagi would never be his.

It was the final battle with Galixia, the inners were dead and the others were in a room, the Star Lights were saying that they survived again, but that they couldn't win without the light of hope. "Do you like Sailor Moon?" Saturn asked softly holding her glaive, violet orbs locked on the small group of people in front of her, the fabric of her skirt swishing against her legs. Star Fighter and Sailor Moon stared at each other. Finally Fighter spoke for herself and her two comrades, "Yes." Saturn smiled slightly and nodded, "That's good. We have the same hope. Please believe in our princess." Pluto who had been quiet finally spoke up, "We will defeat Galaxia." With that Pluto and Saturn ran off.

Healer spoke what was on her mind, "We can't fight. We have nothing left to protect." Chibi Chibi was surprised at hearing this making her way to them she looked up at that, "Not left?" She asked. The three lights looked at her curiously for a moment before they recalled the other senshi dying for them. The Star Lights got up. Sailor Moon got up. They all got ready to face Galaxia.

Saturn and Pluto had died, Neptune and Uranus had joined Galaxia and all seemed lost before the two turned on her and attacked her, Galaixa took away their bracelets sending them to the ground and fading fast, Sailor Moon looked ready to burst into fresh tears, "Why?" "This is our way." Uranus spoke smiling a little "Why didn't you tell me? I thought you became the enemy. I couldn't believe in you." Sailor Moon started crying. Sailor Uranus told Star Fighter to protect Sailor Moon than she and Neptune touched hands one last time before fading to nothing. After that Sailor Moon hide in the rubble with Maker, Healer and Fighter she told them that she thought it would best to give up, to give in and stop all this fighting and pain, Fighter shook her head and spoke her tone strong, "Do you know why Uranus and Neptune did that? Was it because it was their way of fighting? No. It's because they all believe in you. You're a mysterious person. I thought that I would never be able to fight with you. But now I'm fighting with you. When I'm with you, I feel like I want to believe in people. I want to believe in you." Moon couldn't stop her tears "So? Everyone's disappearing in front of me. Why?" Maker looked to Moon, "If there is a time when they disappear, that would be when you give up." Healer nodded her jade green eyes portraying her belief, "But they all believe that you won't ever give up. That's why they put their hope in you." Fighter than spoke again, "You want to give in to Galaxia? It will be easy." Sailor Moon looked at them before shaking her head, "No." Fighter couldn't help but smile, "I knew you would say that. I believe in you too." "Me too." -Maker "It seems I do to."-Healer "Fighter, Healer, Maker, we're friends right?"-Sailor Moon "Of course."-All three lights. They stepped from the rubble to face Galaixa, Moon spoke in a proud manner "We won't ever give up." The Star Lights agreed that Sailor Moon might be the one with the light of hope that belonged to the legendary Sailor Senshi, the battle lasted awhile longer but Sailor Moon was finally able to free Galaxia from Chaos, Chibi Chibi was Galaxia's starseed....Galaxia than released all the star seeds and they once again became people, all the senshi retuned to Usagi including Mamoru. The lights stayed a few days longer but finally it as time to go, they stood atop of the school where they held their last goodbyes with the inners and Mamoru. Usagi and Seiya stood facing, "Odango, it's great that your boyfriend returned." Seiya smiled a little but pain was etched into his features. "It's because of you. Because of you I was able to do my best." Usagi smiled kindly. "Odango, I won't forget you."-Seiya "Yes, we're friends forever."-Usagi Seiya was disappointed by Usagi's words. Everyone else made fun of Usagi, because she didn't understand Seiya's true feelings. Finally the lights and their princess turned to go, Seiya cast a look over his shoulder, "Mamoru-san, you have to protect her now.. a snobbish guy was saying it." Mamoru smiled he had an arm around Usagi, "I know." "Bye, odango." "Good bye Seiya....thank you." ::End of Flashbacks::

"Remember Seiya...please." Usagi whispered as she slowly opened her eyes and as the memories ended. As the memories of signing, laughing and tears rolled through his mind's eye Seiya couldn't help but smile at the fun times he had, had not only with his comrades but with Usagi and her friends, the smile on his lips grew and his eyes lightened considerably, "Odango." He whispered the name as if uttering something forbidden, bending down he placed a butterfly kiss upon the smooth skin of her hand," Forgive me Odango, forgive me for the pain I may have caused." He looked up before standing his smile grew as Usagi merely nodded signaling no hard feelings and that she did indeed understand.

"Seiya?" Questioned a voice, Yaten and Taiki stood speechless not able to believe they had just lost their best friend.

"YOU BEAST! YOU TURNED SEIYA TRAITOR!" Yelled Yaten as he withdrew his sword and rushed towards the harmless silver haired princess.

Heero opened his eyes once again in the world of the living, but what he saw before him was not what he wanted, "USA-CHAN!" He yelled his voice hoarse, he tugged at his chains and pulled till he felt them give way, blood seeped from the gashes that now adorned his wrists but he paid no heed as his feet carried him towards the one he loved who was now about to face the edge of a pointy sword.

"IIE!"
