Okie, I've had some comments that I'd like to reply to, uhm, the one about
the Star Lights knowing about Chibi-Usa, I just kinda figured that Seiya
would be told that before they left to go home. *insert standard
disclaimer*
"Seiya . . ." Taiki shook his head.
"What is it?"
"Seiya, you know that Usagi has to be with Mamoru. I sternly insist that you stop fooling her. It won't be good for you at all when they get back together."
"Well, I do know that they will get back together if that's what you mean, Taiki. It's not my fault. You know how much I still love her. I tried to tell her that we shouldn't "be together" now, but she told me that she was deciding this with her mind. Taiki, please understand . . ." Seiya didn't know how to put his feelings into words.
"Seiya, I am trying as best as I can to understand you, but it is hard. You may call me a pessimist but I always try and look at the facts. The first fact is that she is still in high school and she lives on a different planet then you do. What will happen after we defeat this enemy? You'll need to come home, you're loyal to our princess, not theirs."
"Taiki! I know this! Just let me live this lie for a few moments so that I can be satisfied that I at least had one chance to be loved by her. If things do not work out I'll be obliged to go back home and never return to Earth again. I am, indeed, Sailor Star Fighter." Seiya looked at the sky in an effort to avoid tears.
"As long as you remember that," Taiki placed his hand on Seiya's shoulder. "Our princess is important as well." Taiki removed his hand and walked over to a tree and started reading a book he was holding. Seiya kicked a stone that was near his feet and rubbed his eyes. "Odango, what we have will never be, I am aware of that. But let me for one time have you as my princess. Let me show you my love." Seiya was tackled from behind and fell to the ground. His first instinct was to transform, "Fighter Star Power,"
"It's just me." Usagi whispered into his ear. She giggled and helped him off of the ground. They stood together for a moment and Usagi leaned in and kissed Seiya. Seiya felt this emotion that seemed to be stifled for a million years pour out of him when she kissed him. Usagi felt the glow of her moon symbol on her forehead. "This feels so right, so much better then when I was with Mamoru. Can this truly be the future?"

"He's messing up the future." Haruka scowled.
"There isn't much we can do about it now." Michiru clung tighter to Haruka's arm.
"What is going to happen to Chibi-Usa?" Hotaru felt tears forming in her eyes again.
"I suppose you'll just have to play with Kou-Usa." Setsuna laughed.
"Setsuna!" Haruka yelled. "You aren't making this any easier!"
"The future isn't set in stone you know." Setsuna felt offended.
"It just isn't right." Haruka continued. "Usagi and Mamo-san are supposed to rule together in Crystal Tokyo, not some alien from Kinmoku."
"It takes such a long time for you to change." Michiru sighed.
"Why is that a bad thing?" Haruka was offended.
"Oh, you're just so silly." Michiru giggled. "I think they would make a cute couple. Mamoru was always too tall for Usagi."
"I give up!" Haruka sweat-dropped.
"I suppose I wouldn't miss Small Lady as much if this changes the future." Setsuna shook her head.
"If this changes the future, then I suppose it will." Hotaru smiled sadly. The rest of them continued walking home. ****
"Yaten-Kun!" Minako screamed.
"What is it?" Yaten ran into the room. Minako pointed to a spider that was on the wall. Yaten sweat-dropped then took a cup and brought the spider outside. When he came back in Minako hugged him.
"My hero!"
"It was nothing, really." Yaten blushed.
"That's sickening." Rei shook her head. Everyone was sitting in the temple. Akiko giggled. "You all have so much fun here. I can tell you are really close."
"Yes, we're all close here!" Minako yanked Yatan into a chair beside her.
"Minako-chan." Rei, Mokoto and Ami sweat-dropped.
"Where have Usagi and Seiya gone?" Ami suddenly asked.
"I'm not sure." Taiki walked into the room with a book under his arm. "I think that they are in the garden."
"Poor Usagi." Ami shook her head and Taiki sat down next to her. "This must be really hard for her."
"Well she's moved right onto another man." Rei snapped contemptuously.
"She probably has been holding in all of her emotions since Mamoru went back to America. I don't blame her." Mokoto stated.
"Yes, I would miss my boyfriend if he went off to America and left me all alone." Minako sniffed. Then she laid her head on Yaten's shoulder and her eyes went all dreamy. "Or off to another planet."
Taiki started laughing and soon everyone joined in except for Yaten who was blushing.

Seiya and Usagi sat in the garden together; Usagi was lying on Seiya's shoulder.
"Seiya?" Usagi sat up and looked into Seiya's eyes.
"Yes?" Seiya smiled.
"Will you ever leave me?" Usagi had hurt in her eyes.
Seiya pondered this a moment. "Odango, I love you with all of my heart. If I am able, I would sacrifice my position of being a Sailor Solider to stay here to love and protect you forever."
"Oh Seiya!" Usagi started crying a little more.
Seiya rubbed the tears from her eyes. "Don't cry."
"I never thought of this, I mean, you would have to leave your duty to your princess. I, I am the princess for my galaxy and I wouldn't be able to move because I need to protect my planet. How can I make you leave your destiny?" She turned from Seiya and sobbed.
"Odango," Seiya touched her hair ever so gently. He wrapped his arms around her and placed his head on her head. "I would die for you. Believe me, if I could be with you then I wouldn't need to be with anyone else." Usagi turned back to him. Seiya leaned down and kissed her passionately on the lips.
"Can we just forget about coming for different planets and just enjoy the time we have together?" Seiya smiled sadly.
"I suppose we can." She kissed him again. "But Seiya, if you leave me again," she looked deep into his dark eyes. "I'll die without you."
