Suddenly Akiko fell to the floor.

"Akiko!" Rei yelled. She grabbed Akiko's arm and shared the vision Akiko was experiencing. A picture of a galaxy floated past Rei's field of vision. Inside the galaxy was a planet and on that planet was a large cauldron. Rei saw a woman dressed in flowing robes standing above the cauldron with her arms outstretched, floating in her hands was the Mother Emerald. The woman whispered a few words and suddenly the cauldron bubbled and frothed. The woman stood still as a flash of light filled Rei's field of vision. When Rei opened her eyes again and saw that same woman on the ground. Out of the cauldron stepped Queen Serenity. The woman on the floor stood up and smiled.

"Serenity, go and protect your planet." The woman smiled. Serenity bowed to her and disappeared.

"REI-CHAN?" Ami's voice broke through Rei's vision. When Rei opened her eyes she looked up and saw Ami and Taiki standing over her.

"Rei-chan?" Ami asked again. Rei blinked a few times and shook her head to clear the cobwebs.

"What happened?" Rei heard Yaten.

"Oh, Healer!" Akiko sobbed. Ami helped Rei up and saw Akiko clinging to Yaten. Minako looked a little angry. Rei sat back down on the couch.

"Healer, it's coming!" Akiko continued to sob.

"Who's coming?" Taiki looked worried.

"The destruction, it's starting. We need to save everyone! We need to make sure that our galaxy will be safe." Akiko's emerald shone brightly around her neck.

"What happened, Rei?" Ami sat next to Rei. Rei shook her head again, "Just a vision, it must be of her princess, because I saw her make," Rei questioned what she was saying. "I think I saw her make Queen Serenity! I know it sounds stupid." Rei heard Akiko's sobs continue.

"The destruction will only end," Akiko looked solemn, "At the end of someone."

"Usagi-chan? Usagi-chan?" Mokoto ran through the garden and spotted Seiya and Usagi on a bench.

"Usagi-chan? Seiya-kun?" Mokoto asked nervously for she really didn't want to interrupt anything.

"Hai? What is it Mako-chan?" Seiya looked up at Makoto.

"Sorry to disturb you guys but, it's Rei. I think that she's sick or something. You better go take a look, Usagi-chan." Usagi nodded and stood up and quickly ran into the temple. Mokoto stood near the bench for a moment and started feeling a little uneasy, so she tried to break the silence, "Seiya-kun?"

"Eh?" He had his hands behind his head and he was leaning back.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you something, if that's okay?" Mokoto knew she sounded stupid.

Seiya opened his eyes and gave her a funny look. "Uhm, sure, Moko-chan." He patted the bench next to him. "Take a seat."

Mokoto sat down and looked at the ground. "Well, I just kinda wanted to know, well you see I was just curious, uhm . . ." Mokoto was not graceful with words, obviously.

"Eh? What is it?" Seiya sounded a little annoyed.

"What really happened with Usagi and Mamo-chan? I mean, did they seriously break up? I really want to know what happened." Mokoto sounded worried.

"Oh, well it is all kind of confusing. Mamoru is living with another girl and Usagi said that she wanted to be with me. I really want to be with her even though some people disagree . . ." He trailed off, looking at the sky. "Well, I can't really explain it. But, Mokoto, I just want you to know that I really do love her, and I would understand if Mamoru and Usagi got back together." He was very solemn. "But, I would give up my life for her, and if that was what I needed to do, then I would. If my duty was to give Usagi back up to Mamoru, then I would do it, even though it would almost kill me." Seiya touched his chest and then quickly removed his hand. "Why are we talking about such glum things, eh? How about we go and see how Rei's doing?" Seiya stood up and turned to Mokoto.

"Just one more question," Mokoto stood up and started walking. "Did you write some of your songs for Usagi?"

Seiya put his hand behind his head and laughed. "Yeah, some of them."

Mokoto joined in laughing and then they entered the temple. Seiya walked into the room and saw Akiko crying on Yaten. He quickly went over to her.

"Scythe? Are you alright?" He touched her head and she looked up at him. "Oh, Fighter! Fighter! My world, it's all I have!" She continued to cry. Yaten shot Seiya a worried look.

"Oh, don't worry Scythe," Taiki walked over to her. "Once we get there tomorrow, we'll make sure everything will be safe! I promise you I will fight as if it were my own planet." Akiko looked up and him and smiled sadly.

"You are all so brave, thank you." Then there was a silence in the room and Usagi's stomach could be heard growling. Usagi placed her hand behind her head and giggled nervously.

"I take it that it's lunch time." Yaten laughed.

"You could set your watch to Usagi's stomach." Mokoto laughed.

"Oi! That's not funny!" Usagi felt the need to protect her image in front of Sailor Scythe. Akiko stopped crying and joined in laughing.

"Oi! It's not funny! I can't help that I'm hungry!" Usagi fumed.

"We still love you, Usagi!" Ami smiled.

"Yes, we do." Seiya placed his hand onto Usagi's shoulder and suddenly all of Usagi's anger faded. Usagi looked into Seiya's dark eyes and the world around her blurred together.

"Seiya?" She whispered.

"Nani?"

"Is it just me, or is everything around us blurred away?" She whispered, for fear of breaking the feeling.

"I feel it too. Odango, you make me feel this way whenever you're around me."



"Mushi Mushi?" Rei asked. Usagi and Seiya had been staring at each other for quite some time.

"When are they going to stop doing that?" Akiko asked.

"I don't know, let's go and get something to eat. They'll be okay." Rei walked out the door and everyone else followed.



"Seiya?" Usagi whispered into his ear after placing her head on his shoulder.

"Nani?" Seiya used a hand to stroke her hair.

"What should I do about Mamoru?" She squeezed him tighter.

"I don't know. We'll cross that river when we get to it." Seiya closed his eyes and deeply breathed in the scent of his lovely Odango.

"Where is everyone?" Usagi suddenly pulled away from Seiya. "Iie! They've gone!"

"If they've gone, then we can have a little time together alone." Seiya wrapped his arms around Usagi's waist and he started tickling her stomach.

"Demo . . . stop that Seiya! That tickles!" Usagi laughed. "No! I'm hungry, stop tickling me!" Seiya didn't stop tickling her and Usagi fell to the ground laughing.

"Uncle! Uncle!" She managed to yell in between giggling fits. Seiya was kneeling over her furiously tickling her stomach. Usagi gave one big kick at Seiya and sent him flying to the ground. He landed with an "Oof." Usagi quickly stood up and went over to where he landed and started tickling him.

"Nani? No, Odango, stop!" He laughed.

"Pay back, you awful alien!" She laughed evilly. After a while Seiya had tears streaming down his face and finally she stopped. She leaned down and kissed him passionately.

"Is that supposed to make up for that?" Seiya wiped tears from his eyes and rubbed his aching stomach.

"Maybe . . ." Usagi playfully twirled her hair.

Seiya grabbed her and squeezed her into a headlock. "How do you like that, Princess?" He laughed.

"Ne, Seiya," She said with mock sadness. "That hurts, stop."

Seiya quickly released her and Usagi tackled him to the ground yelling, "Fake out!"



After a few moments, the two laid down on the floor, panting. Their weird games had turned into a wrestling match and surprisingly, Usagi seemed to have an upper hand.

"That . . . was . . . fun . . ." Usagi managed to say in between breaths.

Seiya smacked himself on the forehead, he was angry he lad lost the match to a girl.

"Ne, can we go and get food now?" Usagi said after a few moments after she caught her breath.

"Sure I guess, I'm sure we'll be able to find the rest of the gang." Seiya stood up and helped Usagi up off of the floor as well.

"Okay, I have to go home and tell my Mom first, she is probably worried." Usagi and Seiya laughed and joked as they walked out the door, little did they know that they were being watched.
