Usagi and Seiya danced across the dance floor with so much passion and love
that they had lost themselves in the music. Once it ended for a little
while, Seiya brought Usagi outside and held her hands under the night sky.
"Kirro Maiden," Seiya looked deeply into her eyes.
"Hai, what is it, my love?" Usagi enjoyed the time that she had with her Seiya.
"You know I love you, right?" Seiya ran his hand gently along her cheek.
"I know you love me, and I love you too." Usagi placed her hand over his.
"Good." Seiya smiled and looked up at the stars. There was silence for a moment and then he pointed to a constellation. "Do you see that constellation right there?"
"I think so, that one?" She pointed.
"Hai." Seiya smiled. "That is my favorite constellation, every night before I go to bed, I make a wish on that star right there in the center. Usually my wish varies from night to night. But it has always been there for me." Seiya sighed. "But almost always my wish was to be able to get away from my fate in life, the fate that made me marry Kakyuu, and I resolved to myself that I would get away from it any way I could. Do you understand, Kirro Maiden?" Seiya turned and looked into her cerulean eyes.
"I think I understand, my love." Usagi held his hands tightly.
"Then . . ." tears seemed to form in his eyes. "You'll understand this, then." Seiya let go of her hands and brought his hand to his side, where his sword was.
"Seiya . . . what are you doing?" Usagi asked, fear was rising in her voice.
"Forgive me, Kirro Maiden. Onegai, forgive me." He gave one last look at Usagi before he pierced that sword into himself and pulled it back out.
Usagi screamed, as blood started pouring out of her love. "SEIYA!!!!!" Usagi screamed as everything went in slow motion and Seiya fell to the ground.
The surrounding ball revelers ran over to her, and they saw that Seiya was bleeding.
Usagi jumped down and held Seiya in her arms, his crimson blood pouring all over her white dress. "SEIYA!!" Usagi screamed again as she held his dying figure.

Usagi sat in her room, huddled on her floor, still wearing her now stained red dress. She was trembling and rocking herself slowly. The event of what just happened to Seiya flashed before her eyes again and again.
'This wasn't how it was supposed to end . . . this wasn't what was supposed to happen, we were promised to one another.' Usagi sat thinking, the incident playing over and over again in her mind, and her thoughts were filled with ideas about how she could have stopped him.
Taiki knocked on her door a few times before he walked in.
"Serenity-hime, I thought I had told you to change." Taiki walked over to her and knelt next to her, he was still in most of his costume. She was still shuddering and rocking on the floor.
"Usagi . . ." Taiki started, but realized that he would get no response out of her. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "This was left in his room . . . it was addressed to you." Taiki set it down on her dresser. "We moved him back into his room to prepare for . . ." Taiki couldn't even say it. His brother was dead . . . just before he had been joking with him about his bright green suit. Taiki shook his head and left Usagi's room.
Usagi slowly stood up and walked over to her dresser and picked the note up. She held it next to the lamp in her room and read what it said.
Kirro Maiden:
Last night that is filled with woe.
Last time to put on my show.
Don't you fret; we'll meet away far.
Our love will blossom in the distant stars.
~S.
Usagi just read the note over and over again, but still the tears were yet to fall. For some reason, her heart felt calm, calm and loving. She suddenly understood everything.
Taiki burst back into her room with a worried look on his face. "He . . .he . . .he's GONE!"
Usagi looked at Taiki in confusion.
"His body . . .it's gone." Taiki was shaking all over.
Usagi nodded and walked over to Taiki. She placed a kiss on his cheek. "I will miss you, Taiki. Maybe again, we will meet."
"Nani? Not you too, Serenity-hime!"
Yaten was next to burst into the room, panting, he was in different clothes then what he was wearing at the ball, but his hair was in the same style.
"Goodbye, Yaten. You have been kind to me." Usagi smiled gently.
"What are you talking about, Usagi?"
"You will see me again, sometime soon I hope."
Suddenly a bright flash of purple light filled the room, and Sailor Pluto stood there smiling.
"Who are you?" Yaten asked, he was suddenly very scared.
"Time has been changed, so it is my duty to see that it goes along fine." She bowed to the two Princes. "You are welcome to visit us at any time." She turned to Usagi. "Are you ready, Serenity-hime?"
"Hai," Usagi nodded. "Arigato for putting up with me." Usagi smiled, and suddenly the room filled with a bright white light. Yaten and Taiki both covered their eyes and when they opened them back up, Usagi and Sailor Pluto were gone.
Taiki and Yaten both looked at each other in disbelief. They both started to run back to the Ballroom where the ball was still going on. Taiki and Yaten ran up to Queen Kimiko.
"Kimiko-sama!" Taiki bowed quickly. "Both Seiya and Usagi are gone!"
"Nani? What are you talking about, Taiki?"
"Seiya and Usagi . . ." Yaten started.
"I have no idea who they are!" Kimiko scowled for a moment. "Maybe you two are too tired, why don't you go to bed? We'll be making the announcement later, anyway."
"What announcement?" Yaten was shocked.
"Well, I thought *you* of all people would know." She sighed and looked at them a moment. "The announcement that Princess Kakyuu and High Guard Nibori are to be engaged."
