Usagi slowly opened her eyes to only be bathed in red light.

"Sh . . ." a deep voice cooed. "It's going to be alright now."

Usagi blinked several times to try to blink away the brightness of the light. "Am I in heaven?"

"Not yet," A voice laughed. "But soon you will be." The female voice was so familiar.

"It's a good time we came when we did." Another female's voice Usagi knew but couldn't place.

"Wouldn't I be in a fix then, ne?" Another girl's voice, this time it was even more recognizable.

Usagi blinked a few times and she realized she was being held in someone's arms. Usagi finally got over the blinding feeling she felt in her eyes and looked up into the face of the person who was holding her.

"Seiya?" Usagi looked up into his face and started to cry. "I must be in Heaven now, finally." She sobbed against Seiya's chest.

"Sh . . .Odango." Seiya's voice was like music to Usagi's ears. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on her forehead.

"Seiya . . ." Usagi sobbed. Seiya gently let Usagi down onto the ground.

"I'm not the only one here to see you." He smiled and Usagi looked at who he was standing next to.

"Menuha-Hime?" Usagi looked at Princess Menuha, who bowed and smiled. "Akiko," Usagi smiled at her ally, Sailor Scythe.

"Don't forget me!" A cheery voice piped up. Usagi turned and looked.

"Chibi-Usa-chan!"

"Hai!" Chibi-Usa smiled and waved. "I'm only here for a second, though. I just had to tell you that I'm here!" Chibi-Usa turned to Sailor Pluto who had appeared at her side. "See you later!" Chibi-Usa and Sailor Pluto disappeared.

Everything was just too much for Usagi who collapsed in Seiya's arms.



"Seiya-san?" Ami was also in shock, the dark figures finally turned lighter and she saw who they were.

"Chibi-Usa-chan?" Minako put her hand to her mouth in shock. What was being said could not be heard by the two, but Sailor Pluto appeared and then left with Chibi-Usa. Then Usagi passed out and Seiya picked her up and carried her again.

"Akiko!" Minako ran over to Princess Menuha, Akiko and Seiya.

"Let's get Odango home, ne?"

Ami and Minako nodded, not sure what to think.

***

Usagi slowly opened her eyes. She was at home, in her own room. She sat up quickly, only to lie back down with the throbbing of her head being too much to bear.

"Odango?" The familiar voice rang through Usagi's headache.

Usagi turned to see someone sitting at her desk. "S...Seiya?"

"Who else would it be?" Seiya shot Usagi a grin. "Yaten?"

Usagi laughed, but it hurt her head. "I can't believe I'm actually seeing you, I hope I never wake up from this dream." Usagi smiled and beckoned Seiya to come over.

"Sorry, Odango." Seiya smiled, "This isn't a dream."

"Then come over here so I can see you," Usagi smiled.

"Pinch yourself." Seiya dared.

"Okay then," Usagi pinched herself and let out a small yelp. It was obviously a lot harder then she thought it would be. "Then can't you come over here and see me, Real Life Seiya?"

"No can do," Seiya's face grew serious. "I'm not a dream, but I can't touch you because I'm a hologram."

"What?" Usagi's eyes started to fill with tears.

"I'm kidding!" Seiya laughed and quickly ran over to her bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry, Odango." He knelt near her bed.

Usagi wiped her eyes and took a deep breath and gently touched Seiya's hair. "Seiya, I've told you this a thousand times in my dreams, since you left, but please stay with me." Usagi started to cry again.

"I promise you this time, I'll stay forever, Odango Atama." Seiya gently touched Usagi's hair.

"Oh Seiya!" Usagi threw her arms around Seiya's neck. "Aishiteru." She started to kiss him repeatedly on the face. Usagi shut her eyes and laughed.

"Enough, Usako." Suddenly Seiya's voice grew darker, and Usagi opened her eyes to see that her arms were wrapped around . . .Mamoru? Usagi shrieked and drew back.

"What's wrong?" Mamoru laughed. "I'm not good enough for you?" He picked up the sword he had used to kill Seiya. "You're next, Usako!" Usagi screamed as Mamoru got closer and closer to her.



Usagi sat upright in bed and screamed. She looked over to her desk and saw that there was someone in that chair. Usagi screamed again. 'It's Mamoru!' He worried mind repeated in her mind.

Suddenly her bedroom door burst open, and Haruka flew in through the door.

"Koneko-chan?" Haruka ran to Usagi. Usagi started to cry as Haruka brought her into a hug. "What did you do to her, Kou?" Haruka stared at the man in the corner of the room.

"Nothing!" Seiya put his hands in front of himself, almost like it would protect her from the wrath of Haruka.

Usagi suddenly stopped crying. "Kou?" She looked at Seiya again. "SEIYA!!!" She jumped off of her bed and tackled Seiya.

"Koneko?" Haruka was very confused.

Usagi continued to plant kisses all of Seiya. "Seiya! Seiya! If you're a dream again, I'll have Haruka kill you!"

Seiya looked at Usagi with frightened eyes. "Nani?"

"You shouldn't tease me like you do." Usagi didn't stop the barrage of kisses she was giving him.

Haruka sighed and muttered to herself as she left the room, "Get a room." Haruka shut the door behind her and finally Usagi stopped kissing Seiya.

She opened her eyes and looked at Seiya. He was blushing a lovely shade of beet red, as he realized that Usagi was putting herself in a very odd position, being on him like she was. Usagi laughed and stood up, helping him up as she did. She brought him over to her bed and when he sat down she gave him a very passionate kiss. She broke the kiss after a moment and stared into his shocked, but delighted eyes.

"Why Seiya?" She whispered to him, taking her hands in his. "Why, how did you come back?"

Seiya grinned at Usagi and put his finger to her lips. "If I have to tell you, you'll never discover it for yourself." He smiled.

"But, Seiya," Usagi protested. "Then I suppose this must still be a dream, if you won't even tell me." Usagi pouted.

"Okay, if you must know." A grin went across Seiya's face. "Menhua- hime found my Henshin Star. Then she used it with the Mother Emerald. She really wasted a lot of energy on me, but I wanted to come back. I couldn't bear to leave you here, devastated. You know, after Mamoru," Seiya sighed, recalling his own death and trailed off for a moment. "And I can tell that I got here right in time." Seiya looked up at Usagi with a scolding look in his eyes. "What, pray tell, were you doing on the roof of the school?"

Usagi looked at the ground, tears coming to her eyes. "Gomenasai, Seiya. I told you, you know I did." She let the tears fall. "I told you that if you left me then I would die, and I did. First I died inside, I tried to be myself, but I found myself putting on this mask . . ." Usagi sobbed. "I just couldn't do it anymore. All I had to remember you by was your CD." She sobbed again. "And every time I heard you singing, I knew who you were singing to. How I was so blind when you were here to begin with, I just lost my way." Usagi collapsed into sobs, she obviously couldn't put all of her pain into context.

"Odango," Seiya whispered and drew the crying girl into his arms. "I didn't want to leave you, I had to. Please forgive me, but, Odango, if I hadn't come back at that exact moment, I wouldn't have an Odango Atama anymore, I would've had a pancake." He let a tear fall down his face. "I couldn't bear that anymore then you felt when I left. When I left Earth last time, there was this hole in my heart, I just couldn't repair it anymore. I left Seiya Kou here on Earth, and I couldn't get that part of my back anymore."

"Seiya," Usagi sobbed. "I'm so sick of everyone trying to keep us apart. I'm in love with you, Seiya Kou. Not Sailor Star Fighter, I am in love with Seiya Kou. This is Usagi Tsukino talking, not Sailor Moon or even Princess Serenity. I love you Seiya Kou." Usagi looked up into Seiya's eyes. "Who gives a care about the future with Mamoru? I already saw that Chibi-Usa will come back, Sailor Pluto showed you too. Let's go somewhere, where we'll never get bothered by anyone who wants us to be apart." Usagi tried to stop crying as she looked into the eyes of her beloved, her Seiya.

"I don't think we'll have to go anywhere to make that happen, Odango." Seiya smiled and kissed Usagi. "Now we are bonded by love, and I'll make sure nothing will come between us."

"Usagi-chan!" The door burst open, and Minako ran in. She ran to Usagi and hugged her tightly. "I was so worried about you, are you okay?" The sadness left her voice. "How could you do that? How . . .could . . .you . . .do . . .that!!!?" Minako clutched her hands at her sides, in fists. Ami then ran into the room after Minako.

"Usagi-chan," She sighed. "You had us so worried."

"Gomenasai, Minako-chan, Ami-chan. I can't explain why I did, because you'd never understand. But I am sorry, and now that I know I have the love from everyone I love, I'll be able to live happily forever." She smiled and took Seiya's hand. She then stood up and placed her hand on Minako's shoulder.

"Gomen, Venus-chan, Minako. What I did was stupid, and you can be sure I'll never do it again." Minako's stance softened a bit, and she flung her arms around Usagi, with tears in her eyes.

"We'll be together forever, Usagi-chan!" Stars appeared in her eyes, and Ami sweat dropped.

"Usagi-chan," Ami sighed. "Everyone is downstairs, waiting for you. They wanted to make sure you are all right."

Usagi smiled and took Seiya's hand in her hand. "I'm all right, at least now I am."
