type this chapter, so please I am begging you to review. I hope you will

Okay, let me make things clear for EVRYONE! The reason I broke Usagi and Harry up is because everything was going too smoothly for them. It's like a fairytale love for them so I made them break up to put in some reality. I guess you are all used to the fact that once they are a couple they will forever be one. I like that one but I placed in some REALITY! I really don't want their love just to be fairytale sort of one where they will love each other till death will bring them apart. I am REALLY sorry for breaking them up but I PROMISE that they will get back together soon and that it will stay way FOREVER no more break ups! You know, I made them break up because that they may realize how much they love each other, how much they need each other and that they are meant to be with each other. I hope everyone will understand, I HOPE you now understand. Facing A New Destiny will always be A Harry/Usagi romance fic! Harry and Usagi forever!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 12
"Heartache and Quidditch.Gryffindor vs. Slytherin"
Usagi didn't know how she arrived back in her dorm or how she ended up lying in her bed crying for the rest of the day, it all seemed to pass by like a black blur. She didn't go to any of the classes for the rest of the day or go to lunch and dinner. She just lay there crying over what happened between her and Harry. 'Why does life have to be so difficult?' she thought while starring out the open window. she rolled over on her back and starred blankly on the ceiling of her four-poster bed. She tried feverishly to wipe away her never-ending tears but to no avail. 'I've been here for hours, I wonder if anyone noticed,' thought Usagi while wiping away more tears.
She groaned and rolled over to her side, coming face to face with her Ice Phoenix, Arctica. Usagi smiled lightly with her tear stained face. She sat up and leaned heavily against the headboard of the bed. Arctica flew towards Usagi and sat infront of her cocking its head to the right taking in Usagi's tear stained face. It hooted after a while before nuzzling its head against her neck trying to comfort her owner.
Usagi giggled lightly, she slowly stroked its silvery blue feathers. "I guess it was for the best," she said finally. Arctica ruffled its feathers in protests and let out a loud hoot. Usagi smiled down at her phoenix, and wiped away some stray tears. "He'll be out of danger. He'll be just fine.just fine." she repeated as more tears came flowing. She remembered what happened earlier. "Why is everything so difficult?" she moaned after falling back to bed.
'Destiny is cruel!' she finally concluded hugging her pillow for comfort. Arctica cooed softly before flying out the window soaring high into the air and back to the Owlry. 'Be free. Not like me who is destined to live a life of heartache and pain,' she thought sadly while watching Arctica fly away. She started to cry again, this time full of anguish and misery, all because of her life. 'Harry,' she thought sadly hugging her pillow more tightly. 'I am sorry.'
She started to cry again, 'I wonder how Harry is doing? What is he thinking?' she wondered sadly. She pulled out a picture from under one of her other pillows. It was a picture from the Halloween ball, there was her and Harry all dressed up and both of them were smiling and holding hands. The two of them were laughing and waving up at her happily. Colin Crevey took the picture during the ball. 'I wish we are just like that always,' she thought, more tears came flowing and dropped on the picture. She sighed and placed it back under her pillows.
'I still cant believe what happened. I meet my soulmate and then destiny comes and interfered and I loose him! I hate my destiny, I hate my duty as Sailor Moon, as Serenity as.myself,' she thought angrily, hot tears spilled. 'I want to tell you everything Harry, my life, who I am, what I am.' She rolled over to her other side facing the mirror. She surveyed her tear stricken face. Her whole face was all puffy, her eyes were all reed and tears were still flowing freely. 'I look horrible,' she thought wiping away some tears.
'Shouldn't I be happy? Harry will be out of too much danger. He wont have to worry anymore of anything,' she thought staring blankly at her reflection. 'then why am I not happy?' she asked herself. She then started crying again when the simple answer hit her heart, "I love him," she said aloud, her empty heart wrenched in pain with realization and emptiness.
~
When Harry arrived at lunch. He didn't feel so good, he was able to control his crying so that no one would notice him crying. 'What have I done?' moaned Harry mentally taking a seat opposite of Ron.
"Hey where's Usagi?" asked Ron looking at the empty seat next to Harry.
Harry's heart made a twist. It hurt him so badly that he broke up with Usagi. He shrugged his shoulders trying to act normal, "I don't know," he answered. He really didn't know here Usagi was or what she was doing.
Seiya turned to Harry grinning slyly, "So, what where you two talking about?" he asked after shoving a spoonful of food into his mouth and swallowing it.
Harry shrugged again, trying to act normal and not to fall into tears. "Nothing much," he answered again in a monotone voice. He starred down at his plate pushing the food around with his fork. His thought kept wondering back to Usagi. Replaying the event that just unfold, 'Why can't you just tell me?' he thought. Tears brimmed his eyes but he blinked them away quickly before anyone could have a chance to see them.
"It's really not like Usagi to miss a meal," commented Taiki after a while staring at the empty seat beside Harry.
Yaten nodded waving his fork in agreement, "It's very un-odango-atama like." He said thoughtfully.
Harry stayed silent and starred at his plate blankly. Not having the stomach to eat anything right now. 'How could I do it?' the question kept on repeating in his head.
'But why couldn't she just thrust me? Doesn't she have any thrust in me?' the thought while they were all walking to class after lunch. 'You didn't thrust her either,' his logical side said. 'But I was worried. I needed to know where she always went to, I am concerned,' he thought back angrily.
~Flashback~
"I can't just tell you! I want you to be safe. I don't want you to get hurt," said Usagi through tears.
~End of Flashback~
'Hurt? You don't want me to get hurt. But I am hurt!' he thought as he remembered Usagi's words. He felt a painful tug in his heart. His heart felt so empty. He remembered when he kissed Usagi, his heart felt so full. She seemed to have filled the empty space in his heart. Now, he felt so alone. So out of place. He felt nothing, no love. He felt jealous of Seiya for knowing so much more about Usagi so well. He felt betrayed that Usagi wouldn't tell him what is going on. He felt hurt. He then remembered the brief kisses they shared, he knew that he would never experience them no more. his heart wrenched in pain, he finally found the girl that he loved but now she was gone because of him and his jealousy. He felt hot tears prick his eyes, he furiously blinked them away before they had a chance to fall.
He now realized how he felt right now. He felt alone, he needed Usagi. Harry mentally sighed, 'What have I done?' he repeated again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the pain of loss. The more he knew he loved Usagi. 'I love her,' he repeated. His empty heart wrenched in pain, 'I love her,'
For the rest of the day Usagi didn't appear to any of the classes. The teachers gave surprised looks when they noticed Usagi wasn't around. Hermione, Ron and the lights grew worried about Usagi. It wasn't like Usagi to miss lunch and all her afternoon classes. They were suspecting something happened between Harry and Usagi, since Harry was the last one with her. also Harry seemed so down all afternoon. He seemed depressed.
They were all in the Great Hall eating dinner after their classes. They occasionally cast worried glances at Harry who seemed to be deep in thoughts.
"I wonder where Usagi is," said Hermione full of concern. She shot Harry a worried look before turning to Ron with a worried look.
"Dunno, I just hope she's fine," answered Ron concern written all over his face.
"It's really not like Usagi for her to miss lunch earlier, then all afternoon classes and now dinner," said Taiki looking at the doors expecting Usagi to walk through them at the very moment. But which never happened.
"I don't blame her for missing classes. But missing lunch AND dinner now that's really un-Usagi like." Said Yaten after swallowing his loaf of bread.
Seiya starred at Harry suspiciously, 'what happened? Did he hurt her? When I'm going to find out, I'm gonna.' he thought angrily, he held his fork tighter. "What did you two talk about this morning? What really happened?" he asked Harry again. Hermione, Ron, Taiki and Yaten stopped eating and starred at Harry expecting an answer.
Harry looked up from his plate. A sad expression was written on his face. He shrugged his shoulders sadly, "Nothing, nothing for you guys to worry about," he mumbled not daring to meet their eyes.
Seiya starred at Harry angrily ready to pop with anger. "What do you mean not worry?! We are worried sick about Usagi! We haven't seen her obviously all day. And it seems like it had something to do with whatever you talked about. You were the last one with her!" he exclaimed angrily staring at Harry.
Taiki cleared his throat, "You know, he's got a point," he said pushing away his own plate and starring at Harry. Ron and Hermione nodded in agreement. Yaten tried his best to restrain Seiya from lashing out on Harry.
Harry stared at Seiya full of jealousy. 'He knows her so well, better than I do,' he thought angrily. 'But still you love her,' his mind said. 'I do' he answered. He then turned to Seiya, "Look, I don't know where she is. What we talked about was private none of your business." He answered finally. He turned back to his dinner fighting back the urge to cry, his heart still felt so empty. His heart kept on twisting in pain. 'Usagi I am sorry,' he thought she was here right now and hear his words.
Ron, Hermione, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten shared puzzled looks. They were all thinking the same thing. 'Harry and Usagi must have broke up' but the single word lingered in their minds. 'Why?'
~Gryffindor Common Room~
For the whole night Usagi didn't appear at all. Their suspicions were affirmed that Harry and Usagi really did break up, but why. They were all gathered in the common room almost all Gryffindors were talking about tomorrow Quidditch match against Slytherin. Oliver as usual was sure that they were going to win. Hermione, Ron, Harry and the lights were all sitting near the fireplace. Occasionally they would stare at Harry and give him sympathetic glances. Well, except for Seiya who wanted to kill Harry for hurting Usagi.
Harry seemed to be deep in thoughts he hadn't spoken after dinner after Seiya's sudden out break. They noticed that occasionally a solitary would make its way down his cheek.
"Harry are you alirght?" asked finally Hermione. She placed down the book she was reading and looked at Harry concerned. She had it finally enough with his solitary state. She needed some answers and she needed them now. Besides they were all friends, friends are there to help.
Harry woke up from his thought and starred blankly at his friends. He nodded blankly before going back in doing nothing. "Fine.just fine" he mumbled absent-mindedly.
"You really don't look alright to us," countered Ron folding his arms across his chest and staring accusingly at Harry.
Harry sighed heavily, he felt as if his whole world crushed down on him. 'I wonder where Usagi is,' he wondered sadly. "I'm fine, really," he answered with another loud sigh.
Hermione starred at him, "We know something is wrong here. You haven't been yourself ever since this morning. You seem to be troubled, you can tell us what's wrong. We are your friends." She said full of concern.
Harry sighed and slumped deeper into his seat. While staring about blankly. 'Should I tell them what happened? What would be their reaction? What would be Seiya's reaction?' he contemplated thoughtfully.
Taiki cleared his throat loudly, "It seems to us that happened between you and Usagi. It looks like you two had a fight or something," he said. The others all nodded in agreement.
"Look, we are all concerned here. Especially about Usagi. We want to know!" said Seiya sternly.
Harry sighed in defeat, he had to tell them or else it might eat him up. It was very evident that they were all concerned. 'Might as well tell them,' he finally agreed. "Alright already.I'm telling," he mumbled in defeat. The last thing he wanted to do was to tell them how he felt and what happened.
"Usagi and I.we had a.fight," he said slowly not knowing what else to say.
Ron fell out of his chair at the news. Taiki dropped the book he was reading, it clattered loudly on the floor. Hermione dropped her quill in surprise. Yaten had to hold on to Seiya to keep him from lashing out on Harry, who hadn't noticed Seiya at all. And Seiya was ready to kill. Even though they expected that answer it was still quite shocking to hear the truth.
Seiya glared angrily at Harry. 'How could he?!' he mentally shouted. 'I trusted him. I trusted him to treat Usagi right and not to hurt her! he hurt her' he thought angrily. He wanted to strangle Harry right now, good thing that Yaten was holding him by his robes.
"When? What happened? How? Why?" asked Hermione concerned. She helped won back up to his seat. She couldn't believe what it that Usagi and Harry had a fight. Both of them were head over heels over each other and now that they're a couple they had a fight.
Harry sighed sadly, he couldn't just tell them what they were fighting about. He noticed that Seiya looked ready to kill him. Harry cringed under Seiya's angry gaze. He took some uneven breaths before answering a concerned Hermione.
"After Care of Magical Creatures. We just had an argument that's all. As for how it happened, I can't tell you, why, it's personal."
Hermione just sat there baffled. She starred at a sad heartbroken Harry. somehow she couldn't image Harry having a fight with his own girlfriend. She stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the dorms, I guess Usagi is up there. maybe she wants to talk," she said. With that she disappeared up the girls dorm.
"So you guys.broke up or something?" asked Ron, he still couldn't believe what just happened. Harry and Usagi were perfect for each other and now they aren't together anymore. Ron couldn't believe his ears.
Harry slumped further into his chair, he took off his glass and rubbed his eyes before putting them back on. "I don't know.probably.I did say it" he said while heaving a loud and heavy sigh.
Ron shock his head sadly at Harry. "You are really in a lot of trouble," he said while patting Harry compassionately on the back for support.
"But you two were doing great. Everything was going on fine with the two of you." Protested Taiki after a long moment of silence. He really didn't want the Moon princess all saddened even more.
Harry shock his head, "It just happened! I don't want to discuss it right now, alright?!" he said in frustration. He stood up and grabbed his things. "I am done here, need some sleep for tomorrows Quidditch match," he mumbled. He swiftly walked up the stairs towards the boys' dorm.
"Oh boy, things move fast around here," exclaimed Yaten after releasing Seiya by the robes.
"Poor Harry, just when he found love, he lost it." said Ron shaking his head.
Seiya stared in the direction Harry went to. 'How could he just hurt Usagi! Usagi was so happy with him and now Usagi must be really heartbroken. This is it, I am going to have a serious talk with potter,' he thought. After making a decision, Seiya stood up, gathered his things and with determination he started to walk towards the boys dorm.
Taiki and Yaten looked up at Seiya with concern. Fearing that Seiya might do something drastic like hurt Harry or something along the lines.
"Where are you going?" asked Yaten suspiciously.
Seiya looked over his shoulder and to their surprise he smiled at them. "I need to talk to Harry. Straighten things out a bit." He said before continuing walking. 'Harry should realize how much Usagi means to us, and how much he means to her, even though I don't like it at all.' He added silently.
~Boys Dorm~
Harry lay in his huge four-poster bed and blankly stared at the ceiling of his bed. 'I wonder what Usagi is doing. How is she doing? Is she taking everything well? I didn't see her for the rest of the day, I hope she is fine,' Harry thought sadly. he looked around the empty dorm, it seemed like it suited him, his feelings. 'Empty, like my whole being is gone,' Harry thought sadly. he really wasn't in the mood for Quidditch tomorrow, he wasn't in the mood for anything actually. But they wanted to win tomorrows match so he had to do it.
Harry rolled over to his side and faced his nightstand, only to come face to face with a picture. There on the nightstand stood a small picture frame and it was the same picture that Usagi had. Both of them dressed up for the ball, Harry mentally groaned as he saw the two of them smiling and waving up at him. The picture was taken after they became a couple, both of them looked so happy in the picture. 'Was it the right thing to do?' he asked himself yet again as he watched the beautiful picture Usagi get hugged by his picture self. He also noted how happy both of them looked, how beautiful Usagi really was that night. Somehow they looked perfect together. Harry groaned loudly out of frustration, he rolled over on his back again. Looking at the picture brings to much pain to him.
He glared up at the ceiling, he hadn't seen Usagi after their fight and it felt like he hadn't seen her for years. He missed her so much, 'What's wrong with me? I finally find the girl that I love but now I have nothing. I am all alone again, how could I do it? How could I have hurt Usagi? I love her!' he thought, his insides churning. He felt so empty without Usagi.
Harry sighed again and closed his eyes and tried to ease his mind. 'Maybe sleep will help,' he thought slowly drifting off to sleep. An image of Usagi's tear stained face flashed in his mind. Harry's eyes snapped open out of surprise and he was even more surprised to see a serious Seiya hovering above him. 'Great just what I need, more suffering' he thought while mentally groaning.
Seiya starred down at Harry's sleeping form. Well, what seemed like sleeping. He couldn't image that this was the guy Usagi fell in love with. The one who broke her heart. And now hen Seiya Kou, is going to talk some sense into Harry Potter. 'I should be really happy right now, Usagi could be mine. But.they belong together. Somehow,' Seiya thought. He folded his arms across his chest and waited for Harry to wake up. When he finally did wake up, he heaved a mental sigh and gathering up all his pride he glared down at Harry and spoke up.
"We need to talk," he said, he didn't know how heavy that statement lingered in the air.
Harry was surprised to hear that from Seiya, but he had gained his full attention. He sat up and with his back he leaned on the headboard of his bed. He was wondering what Seiya would be saying, 'But I'm not up to this right now,' thought Harry as he leaned with his back further against the headboard. He turned and looked at Seiya who was leaning against one of the wooden posts of his bed. Harry sighed, he feared that Seiya would say something really unexpected. "So?" Harry said as he looked at Seiya expecting the unexpected.
Seiya stared down at Harry trying to stop himself from lashing out on Harry. 'I still can't believe I'm doing this,' he thought angrily. "Let's get straight to the point, what really happened between you and Usagi? There must be a reason for the two of you breaking up," said Seiya finally, looking down at Harry as if he had committed a crime.
Harry turned away, he knew that this would be Seiya's question. He couldn't bare and look into Seiya's accusing face. "Like I said, it's personal. I don't wish to discuss it," he mumbled while looking out the dark night window. Harry then looked back at Seiya suspiciously after a long moment, "Why do you want to know what happened?" he asked.
Seiya shrugged nonchalantly and turned and looked at Harry, "Don't know, I guess I am just concerned for the both of you,"
Harry nodded, not knowing what else there is to say. Seiya was still leaning on one of the posts of his bed seeming to be deep in thought.
"You know," began Seiya after a long moment of silence. This part was really hard for him to say, "I care for her. I care for Usagi so much that I.. I love her. well, I used to love her. You came into her life and brightened up everything that I couldn't do. you made her smile again, laugh again, be her old self again. Even though I could do most of it, but I never was able to give back her shine like you did. Because you love her in someway what that differs from my love to her and she loves you the same way. She always will. I don't want anyone of you hurt especially Usagi. You don't, but she's been through a lot lately in her life. There have been so many changes, so much pain in her life. She needs someone like you right now. Both of you are my friends and I don't want anyone of you hurt, just remember, she loves you." Seiya finished with a long sigh. He couldn't believe what he just said. 'But it's true,' he thought in defeat. He calmly stared down at a shocked Harry.
Harry was shocked, surprised as well to hear anything like that coming from Seiya. 'So he loved her,' he thought as his words were sinking in. his feelings of jealousy coming back to him but this time only a little bit of it only. He felt guilty about himself, he hurt Usagi's heart because of his jealousy. 'How could I? She still loves me, I still love her. I need her.' he thought sadly. he was about to say something to Seiya when the door of their dorm burst open and their friends came sleepily walking in and making their way towards their beds. Harry looked at Seiya who just briefly nodded his head and then walked away to join Yaten and Taiki.
That night Harry wasn't able to sleep properly at all. His thoughts were somewhere else. He was thinking about what Seiya had said. 'Usagi' he thought sadly. his heart felt emptier than ever. Several tears made their way down his cheeks and soaked his pillow as more followed. He cried silently for his loss. That night, there was no Moon shining the night sky at all.
~Girls Dorm~
Usagi took a careful look around her, everyone was still sound asleep in their beds. 'That wont last long' thought Usagi smiling. she fell asleep after her countless hours of crying. Luckily no one woke her up and asked questions. Usagi sighed, the events of yesterday still fresh on her mind. 'Harry,' she thought sadly.
Standing up she made her way to the mirror and starred into the mirror. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she grimaced. Her eyes were still red and puffy from all the crying. She must have cried during her sleep also. Her hair was all matted and wet. There were visible tearstains on her face. 'This is not what a princess should look like,' thought Usagi while making another race in the mirror.
She turned around and faced the small grandfather clock, it read '6:30 am'. Usagi sighed, it was still too early. 'Only a few hours left till the Quidditch match' thought Usagi happily while making her way to a large window. The match would distract her mind from Harry. she managed to smile, she was looking forward to the match. 'My first Quidditch match, I'm gonna make you proud Mom,' thought Usagi. She opened the window and was immediately hit by a cold gust of wind. It felt somewhat refreshing to Usagi, the cold November wind ruffling her already ruffed up hair.
She starred out at the still dark sky. The sun hasn't risen yet so it was still fairly dark. Usagi enjoyed the silence for a while until her smile turned into a frown. There was a shift of the wind and Usagi felt it. Usagi looked around alarmed, 'Voldemort' was the only word that ringed in her mind. She quickly turned her head into the direction where the dark energy radiated. The Quidditch Pitch. 'What the Hell?' Usagi saw nothing at all. Nothing out of the ordinary. The presence was at the Quidditch pitch but it quickly disappeared as it came. As if it knew it was spotted. Usagi's frown grew deeper, 'Something's going to happen,' she thought. She continued to look at the Quidditch pitch trying to find the presence again but to no avail. Sighing loudly she closed the window and walked back to her bed. 'Something's happening here, but what is there plan? Are they going to attack?' she glared out the window in frustration not knowing what she was going to do. 'Wait, I am going to wait.' she concluded. She looked around the still silent room, some were already stirring in their beds about to wake up. Usagi stood up and walked towards the bathroom, 'Might as well use up the time and get ready for the match,' she thought wryly.
~Somewhere in a Dark Secluded House~
The house stood alone, no one dared to enter the house. Evil reeked around the house, nothing living surrounded it. Even the animals of the forest did not dare to come close to it. strange noises could be heard from the inside. Inside the house everything felt evil. But somehow the inside of the house differed from the outside, it was much larger that expected. There were dark long gloomy corridors leading to different parts of the haunted house.
In the middle of the house or the heart was the Center of Pure Evil. Darkness loomed everywhere. There was only a fireplace that burned and illuminated the figures in the darkened room. infront of the fire sat a cloaked figure, Voldemort cackling evilly about his sinister plan. He was still weak since his last encounter with Harry Potter but that will change soon. Slowly he is rising to power his new body giving much strength that he needed. The youmas did a fine job delivering energy to him. He starred into the blazing flames and laughed again crazily, thinking about the plans they had prepared, what they had install for the little Moon Princess.
"Soon, it'll be soon. Then I shall have her," said Voldemort in a raspy voice. He laughed again, his laughter piercing through the darkness.
Behind him stood 8 figures. 7 of which were women and only one of them man. They stood proudly behind Voldemort, they were none other than the Sailor senshi and the earth prince in his armor. All of them had unreadable expressions on their faces, since they were all in darkness. But their eyes shimmered through the darkness; an evil glint was in all of them. The flames of the fire evident in their eyes. Some of them smirked while others laughed as they talked about their plans. What is going to happen to their little 'Princess'.
"The crystal will be in my hands soon. Than I shall have the power again. The little Moon Princess will be in for a surprise when she sees her 'Guardians' again." Cackled Voldemort. His hand reached forward and grinned when he saw in the flames a dead corpse of the Moon Princess.
"We shall not fail you master." Said Endymon, a sinister smirk played on his lips. "Serenity and the Ginzushou will be here I promise. The Moon Princess will be in for a lot of fun," he added. He turned to the senshi and nodded his head signaling for them to leave. The senshi nodded in response and all eight of them disappeared in one of the many dark corridors.
"Master?..do you think...think..they shall be successful?" asked a short bald man that cowered in the corner. In a way, he resembled a rat with his small pointy nose.
Voldemort grinned sadistically into the darkness. "We shall she, we shall see Pettigrew."
~Breakfast~
Everyone in the Great Hall was talking about the upcoming Quidditch match. Excited buzzing filled the hall as everyone ate and talked about who is going to win. An extreme tension hung between the Gryffindors and the Slytherins, occasionally they would hit each other with some nasty remarks.
Oliver seemed not to care about it though, he was all worked up for the game. He made sure that all his teammates were eating for strength for the match. But what concerned him the most was, Usagi still hadn't shown up yet. He made his way where Harry and his friends were seated.
"Harry, where's Usagi? We need Usagi on the team. She hasn't shown up yet." Oliver exclaimed looking down at a gloomy Harry Potter expecting an answer.
Harry squirmed in his seat. The topic 'Usagi' wasn't still good for him. It made him think back to last nights encounter with Seiya. And thinking about Usagi made him miss her. true he hasn't seen her at all this morning. And she still hasn't shown up for breakfast. He grew worried about her by now, "I don't know Oliver, I haven't seen her yet," he said trying to hide his saddened feelings.
"What do you mean, you don't know? Where is she?" screeched Oliver looking frantic. He couldn't bare to loose a great Chaser. Also he didn't know what happened between Usagi and Harry, he still thinks that they are still a couple.
Hermione, seeing Harry's discomfort, cleared her throat and looked up at Oliver and beamed him a smile. "Don't worry, Usagi will be probably down in a few minutes. When we woke this morning she was still in the bath. I know she takes a long time in the bath," she said smiling up at Oliver hoping that he would move on soon. Oliver sure did, but he kept an eye on the door, if Usagi came through it he would drag her to a seat and make her eat her breakfast.
"So did you get a chance to talk to Usagi?" asked Ron after taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
Hermione sighed, she didn't," No, I didn't. When I arrived she was already asleep." Hermione shuddered, Usagi's tear stained face flashed in her mind. "She must have cried all day. Her face was tear struck. She looked so miserable, poor Usagi," Hermione shook her head but then noticed Harry looking equally as miserable as Usagi. "Sorry," she mumbled an apology to Harry.
Harry shrugged trying to act normal, "It's alirght," he mumbled. He looked at Seiya was busy talking with Yaten and Taiki. He remembered their talk last night, he still couldn't believe that Seiya loved Usagi. Seiya's words made him feel so guilty for what he did. And from what Hermione said about Usagi it made him feel more miserable that he already is.
"Hey," exclaimed Yaten suddenly. He pointed towards the Hall's doors. "It's Usagi,"
And for sure enough Usagi came walking in. she looked like her usual self, except that her eyes were slightly red. With her usual French braid, she wore a blue sweater and usual pants. When she entered she was pounced by Oliver and dragged towards the table for breakfast.
Harry and the others looked up and looked at Usagi being dragged away by an overjoyed Oliver. To Harry, Usagi seemed more beautiful than ever. His heart wrenched in pain when he realized they were no longer together. Just before Usagi was to sit down with the rest of the Quidditch by Oliver, Usagi looked in their direction. Harry and Usagi's eyes meet. Pain flashed briefly in her red eyes as they stared into each other's eyes what seemed like an eternity but it soon was replaced when her eyes flashed again and an unreadable expression covered her face. Usagi broke their connection and looked away and sat down next to Angelina and Alicia.
Harry sighed and placed his head in his hands. This was getting difficult for him to handle. He really wished that he could take back what he said yesterday.
Ron looked on and noticed Usagi sitting way back with the Quidditch team. "I guess she won't be sitting with us," he said thoughtfully.
Taiki turned to Seiya with a questioning look, "What did you tell Harry last night? He seems more down that yesterday. He's radiating with misery,"
Seiya shrugged and smiled mysteriously at his two friends, "Made him realize some things. That's all, what we talked about was only between the two of us," he said giving them a cocky grin.
Yaten rolled his eyes at Seiya, "Good thing is that you didn't kill him or else we would all be at the dormitory searching for his remains," he said.
Seiya just shrugged and looked at Harry, 'I hope you patch things up with Usagi, before it may be too late.' He thought.
~Gryffindor Locker Room~
"Alirght team this is it!" exclaimed Oliver loudly after they all had changed into their Scarlet Quidditch Robes. "We will win, I can smell it!" he shouted enthusiastically.
"Oliver, that's not what you are smelling. I can assure you that," pointed out Fred.
"Yeah, it's probably just your socks," said George. This was followed by a 'Shut up' and glare by Oliver and a round full of giggles of all the girls in the locker room.
Harry didn't listen at all at Oliver's usual pep talk. His eye's kept wandering back to a now giggling Usagi. Both of them hadn't spoken to each other at all. And when he would look at her and she would turn his way, she wouldn't meet his eyes. She would just turn away and listen to Oliver. He sighed, he wanted to be with Usagi now and hug her tightly and tell her it will be alirght, that he was sorry. 'But how?' he asked himself groaning. He already came to a conclusion that he would make up to Usagi but the only problem is if she would accept him back?
Usagi turned her head and stole a glance at Harry. she frowned, he seemed to be deep in thoughts again. She really didn't know what to do anymore, she still felt strongly connected to him but she made sure that their 'Bond' was cut. Was he thinking about getting back together? Her heart skipped a beat at that thought, 'Remember this is for the best, put a stop to you emotions,' she said to herself.
Usagi turned her attention back at Oliver, who still kept rambling on about teamwork. Finding something better to do than to listen to Oliver's ramblings, Usagi tightened her braid so that it won't come loose during the game. 'Think about the match, you need to concentrate and not think about your hopeless love life.' She scolded herself. True she was excited for the game and true again her love life was a hopeless case. Turning her attention back to the match, she was excited all right, and overly nervous. This was her first game as Gryffindor Chaser and she intended to win. 'I am going to make you proud mother,' she thought in determination.
"We are going to win this match. If we win we will be one step closer to the cup," said Oliver pumping his fist in the air.
"He's full of team spirit, make that over team spirit.he'd make a great cheerleader." Mumbled Usagi to herself.
Angelina and Alicia had overheard Usagi mumbling to herself and giggled lightly at the idea of Oliver as a cheerleader.
"He's always like that," said Angelina grinning.
"It's like this before every match." Added Alicia, shaking her head at Oliver's team spirit.
"We know his speeches by heart," said Fred, having overheard the girl's conversation. He then smiled, "Oliver might look good with a skirt and pompoms thanks for the idea" he added thoughtfully having come up with another prank.
"Oliver is just like that, a perky guy. A perfect cheerleader as you said, said George, he then placed his hand over his heart and made a dramatic notion, "We honor him for that, Oh, bless his pep-talking, perky heart,"
Usagi shock her head at the twins' antics. "Always like that eh?" repeated Usagi turning her attention back at Oliver, who hadn't noticed that no one was listening to his ramblings.
".but now we are going to win again. We have a great team as always. And a new secret weapon, we got a superb Chaser on our team. Faster than the speed of light, I tell you! That will make the other teams bite the dust. You, Usagi, will make us win!" exclaimed Oliver.
Usagi looked slightly shocked at Oliver's sudden out burst. She then blushed at the sudden attention, the twins started to applaud her and make dramatic bows.
"Plus we got our great Seeker, we have got the Dream Team! Harry, has never lost the Snitch.well except for that one time.but who's counting? Anyway, let's get out there and WIN THIS GAME!" shouted Oliver.
~Quidditch Pitch~
loud cheers filled the whole pitch, the stands were filled with all the students. Cheers and thunderous filled the air when the players flew into the Pitch.
"Welcome to this years First Quidditch Match," came Lee Jordan's voice, magically amplified. "And today's match will be Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. This will be tough match, one can clearly see the tension between the two teams. I am sure Gryffindor will win though.go Gryffindor! Oh. Sorry Professor."
Usagi took in her surroundings from where she was flying. All around her loud cheers could be hear. To her left was Angelina flying and to her right was Alicia flying. It was up to her to get the Quaffle first. She looked up and saw Harry flying a few feet above her. 'Turn you attention to the game!' she shouted to herself. 'This is it, the big match, I can do this,' she coached her self.
"Hey, Tsukino! I think grandmamma will be proud and happy that you use her broom," shouted Malfoy across to her. all the Slytherins began to laugh at his joke.
Usagi scowled at Malfoy, "Yeah right Malfoy, let's just see who gets the last laugh. Be prepared to bit the dust!" she shouted back. She could hear Alicia and Angelina cheer at her, "You go girl!" "Show him what a girls' made of!"
Mdm. Hooch came to the center of the pitch and released the Golden Snitch and the two Bludgers. "I want a fair match understand?" she shouted staring particularly at the Slytherins. She blew her silver whistle and threw the Quaffle in the air. The game was off!
"And immediately the Quaffle if taken by Usagi Tsukino of Gryffindor! She is the new addition to the team. An excellent Chaser, just look how she just zooms by everyone, I can hardly see her! she moves so swiftly! And what a great broom she owns, never seen anything like it, the Lunarwind. They say it is faster that the Firebolt. What an exemplary model in deed, just look at its fluid movements!"
"Jordan! Stick to the game!" came McGonagal's voice.
"Sorry Professor,"
Usagi grinned, she was doing great. She loved the rush of the game. 'This is fun,' she thought happily. With expertise she easily dodged Bludgers and some Slytherin Chasers.
"Gryffindor in possession, Tsukino moves in to score --- and she SCORES! Ten points for Gryffindor! Way the go Usagi! You go girl!" loud cheers from the Gryffindors filled the air as hissing noises and boo's came from the Slytherins. "Slytherin in possession, team captain Flint holding the Quaffle.passes to Pucey - OUCH! That must've hurt, hit by the head by a Bludger curtsey of Fred Weasley.or is it George, don't know the difference.Gryffindor in possession, the Quaffle held by Alicia Spinnet.passes to.watch out!!" came Lee's shout of surprise.
Alicia passed or rather threw the Quaffle towards Usagi, who was about to catch it, but at the same moment a Bludger came pelting towards Usagi. Then Usagi did the unthinkable, she did the 'Sloth Grip Roll' (AN: I found that one in Quidditch Throughout the ages!) but the surprising thing was, she was hanging upside down with only her feet gripping on tightly on the broomstick, with her free hands she kept a firm and steady hold on the Quaffle. Usagi grinned and stuck her tongue out at Goyle, who was the one who sent the Bludger at her. 'It takes much harder to wipe me out!' she thought sending a cocky grin towards a fuming Malfoy. Usagi turned back upright and flew away with the Quaffle still in hand. Loud cheers erupted from the amazed Gryffindors. "I can't believe my eyes! She just did a perfect Sloth Grip Roll stunt! Amazing!" shouted Lee gleefully.
The game continued, Gryffindor was now in lead with 30 to 10. Malfoy scowled as he stared angrily down at the game. 'Tsukino is good, too good for her own sake,' he thought angrily. He then smirked when an idea came to his head. 'Time for some cheating,' he thought as he flew down towards Crabe, Slytherins other Beater.
"Any luck in hitting Tsukino?" asked Malfoy, he scowled when he received a No as an answer. "Well, then let me help you," he suggested. Malfoy grabbed Crabe's club and waited for the right moment.
Just then a Bludger came flying their way and to Malfoy`s delight Usagi wasn't to far away. he forcefully hit the Bludger with all his might making it fly full force towards Usagi.
WHAM! The Bludger hit Usagi straight on the shoulder. One could have heard the cracking of bones over the loud shout of pain Usagi made. The air filled with loud shouts of 'Usagi!' from her teammates and Boo's and Foul's from the Gryffindors. The Slytherins cheered in delight as they saw a Gryffindor in pain.
Usagi lost her balance and fell off her broom because of the sudden hit and the searing pain on her now broken arm. Luckily she was able to grab hold of her broom with her good hand, before she completely fell off. With the rest of her strength, she pulled herself back onto her broom. Usagi winced when she cradled her broken arm. 'Somehow this isn't fun anymore,' she thought while again wincing from the pain. From the corner of her eye she could see Mdm. Hooch speak angrily with Malfoy. In turn Gryffindor got a free shot at the goal post, of course Gryffindor scored.
"A foul!!! Made by that disgusting, cheating git Malfoy!" shouted Lee angrily after the incident.
"Jordan I am warning you," said McGonagal threathingly. But she did feel the same way right now towards Malfoy.
Harry scowled at Malfoy as he flew by him towards Usagi. He couldn't believe that Malfoy had it in him to do such a thing to Usagi. "You alirght?" he asked as he looked with concern into Usagi's eyes. All he wanted to do now was to kill Malfoy for what he did to his Usagi.
Usagi looked away from Harry's penetrating green eyes. "Yeah, fine," she said, a hint of pain was still evident. Now she really didn't want to deal with Harry. she sighed and without another word she flew away from him before all her emotional barriers would brake.
Oliver signaled for a time out, all of them landed and the Gryffindors huddled together on the right side of the pitch. With much pain Usagi sat down on the grass and clutched her now useless arm painfully she grimaced on how painful it really was. Oliver turned and looked down at her with concern he couldn't bare to see one of his teammates in pain. "You alirght? Can you still hang in there for a couple more minutes?" he asked kneeling infront of Usagi. Usagi nodded her head, seeming that she had lost her voice from all that pain.
"We need the Snitch, find it!" said Oliver as he turned to Harry with a serious expression on his face.
Harry nodded and looked down at Usagi sitting on the ground cradling her arm. He was fully concerned about her. With a determined look, he was going to beat Malfoy to the Snitch. He owned this to Usagi. Soon they all went back to the game with a new determination.
~Stands~
"Did you see that?! That cheating, disgusting Git!" exclaimed Ron standing up and shouting at the top of his lungs along with all the other Gryffindors after Usagi got hit by the Bludger.
"Malfoy really did go too far this time," agreed Hermione as she stared down at Usagi with her worried brown eyes.
"Did you feel it?" whispered Yaten, looking frantically around the stands after everyone settled down. The other two lights nodded in agreement both of them looking around the quidditch area with alarmed eyes. Moment's age, an evil presence made itself known, but it disappeared quickly after Usagi got hit.
"Keep your eyes open and don't let your guard down. We can't protect her if we are here and she is way out there," whispered Taiki.
"Something's up, I know it," whispered Seiya. the other two nodded still keeping an eye on Usagi who hadn't noticed anything wrong at all.
Just across the stand, where all he teachers were seated, Professor Meioh looked up suddenly and narrowed her eyes.
"Something wrong Setsuna?" asked Dumbledore, who sat next to her.
"They are here," whispered Setsuna in response, alarm was evident in her voice as she looked around alarmed.
~Pitch~
"After that foul, cheating and disgusting move by the equally disgusting Slytherin seeker Malfoy," shouted Lee angrily loudly. He danced way from McGonagal who tried frantically to get the magical megaphone away from him but soon just gave up. "Gryffindor still is in the lead. Back to the game, Gryffindor in possession, Alicia moves in to score.OH! Intercepted by Slytherin Chaser Pusey.moves into score.Oh no!! Slytherin scores!" moaned lee loudly. Loud cheers erupted from the Slytherins as they gained a score while boos came from the rest of the houses.
Harry looked around the pitch trying vainly to find the Snitch. He saw Malfoy at the other end laughing his head off at Usagi, who struggled to keep her balance on her broom. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Malfoy, wishing he could knock him out cold. Then he saw it, the Golden Snitch by the Slytherins goal posts and obviously Malfoy hadn't seen it at all. With a rush of excitement, with full speed of his Firebolt he rushed towards the posts. Obviously Malfoy had seen him flying towards the post he quickly followed Harry. the two of them were flying at top speed, with Harry in the lead. Neck to neck, Harry and Malfoy rushed towards the Snitch. Both extended their arms trying to reach the Snitch before the other. Suddenly Harry made an abrupt turn and to his luck his hand enclosed onto the cold Snitch. Because of the sudden abrupt turn, Malfoy slammed directly into the goal post. Harry flew back up and heard Mdm. Hooch blow her whistle, signaling the end of the game.
Loud cheers erupted from the Gryffindors as Harry held out the Golden Snitch. Cheers of joy erupted from the Gryffindors, their banner of the Lion rose up highly. They were all shouting themselves hoarse, Gryffindor had won the match!
"Gryffindor Wins! A superb catch made by Gryffindors wonderful seeker, Harry Potter!" shouted lee gleefully.
Usagi grinned as they flew higher in the air for a victory flight. They had won! She saw Wood flying around happily as if his birthday came early. She enjoyed the feeling of victory so much that she didn't notice the sudden change of mood at all. A wave of murmurs erupted from the stands.
Down on the ground, a mysterious black portal opened out of nowhere it was the cause of the sudden commotion. But Usagi hadn't noticed at all. The light and Professor Meioh and all the other Professor stood up and looked down at the portal with surprised and alarmed gazes.
"What a great match! Gryffindor won, Great work guys! it was ... What the heck?!?!" shouted Lee when he saw the portal on the ground.
But it was Professor McGonagal's shout that made Usagi aware of the situation. "MISS TSUKINO WATCH OUT!!!" came her shout through the magical megaphone. The shout was closely followed from shouting of warning from her teammates and screaming from the stands.
Usagi had just time to register what happened. When she heard the shouts, the evil presence washed over her again, this time stronger that ever. With an alarmed expression she turned her attention down at the ground and saw the portal. Her eyes grew wide with fear and recognition. 'Senshi!' her mind screamed in alarm. And the next thing she knew was that she heard McGonagal's shout of warning and Venus' Love Me Chain came flying out of the portal, hurdling towards her at top speed.
Before she had a chance to react, she let out a shout of pain as the chain bound tightly around her small waist cutting off all her oxygen. And there was a powerful tug on the chain and forcefully she was pulled from her broom in the air. Loud screams of terror filled the air as everyone saw Usagi being pulled off her broom and came crashing to the ground.
But the screams never reached Usagi's ears. Everything was moving to fast for her to register anymore, the next thing she knew, she collided to ground and pain jolted throughout her body and then her whole world went Black.

It's like a fairytale love for them so I made them break up to put in some reality. I guess you are all used to the fact that once they are a couple they will forever be one. I like that one but I placed in some REALITY! I really don't want their love just to be fairytale sort of one where they will love each other till death will bring them apart. I am REALLY sorry for breaking them up but I PROMISE that they will get back together soon and that it will stay way FOREVER no more break ups! You know, I made them break up because that they may realize how much they love each other, how much they need each other and that they are meant to be with each other. I hope everyone will understand, I HOPE you now understand. Facing A New Destiny will always be A Harry/Usagi romance fic! Harry and Usagi forever!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 12
"Heartache and Quidditch.Gryffindor vs. Slytherin"
Usagi didn't know how she arrived back in her dorm or how she ended up lying in her bed crying for the rest of the day, it all seemed to pass by like a black blur. She didn't go to any of the classes for the rest of the day or go to lunch and dinner. She just lay there crying over what happened between her and Harry. 'Why does life have to be so difficult?' she thought while starring out the open window. she rolled over on her back and starred blankly on the ceiling of her four-poster bed. She tried feverishly to wipe away her never-ending tears but to no avail. 'I've been here for hours, I wonder if anyone noticed,' thought Usagi while wiping away more tears.
She groaned and rolled over to her side, coming face to face with her Ice Phoenix, Arctica. Usagi smiled lightly with her tear stained face. She sat up and leaned heavily against the headboard of the bed. Arctica flew towards Usagi and sat infront of her cocking its head to the right taking in Usagi's tear stained face. It hooted after a while before nuzzling its head against her neck trying to comfort her owner.
Usagi giggled lightly, she slowly stroked its silvery blue feathers. "I guess it was for the best," she said finally. Arctica ruffled its feathers in protests and let out a loud hoot. Usagi smiled down at her phoenix, and wiped away some stray tears. "He'll be out of danger. He'll be just fine.just fine." she repeated as more tears came flowing. She remembered what happened earlier. "Why is everything so difficult?" she moaned after falling back to bed.
'Destiny is cruel!' she finally concluded hugging her pillow for comfort. Arctica cooed softly before flying out the window soaring high into the air and back to the Owlry. 'Be free. Not like me who is destined to live a life of heartache and pain,' she thought sadly while watching Arctica fly away. She started to cry again, this time full of anguish and misery, all because of her life. 'Harry,' she thought sadly hugging her pillow more tightly. 'I am sorry.'
She started to cry again, 'I wonder how Harry is doing? What is he thinking?' she wondered sadly. She pulled out a picture from under one of her other pillows. It was a picture from the Halloween ball, there was her and Harry all dressed up and both of them were smiling and holding hands. The two of them were laughing and waving up at her happily. Colin Crevey took the picture during the ball. 'I wish we are just like that always,' she thought, more tears came flowing and dropped on the picture. She sighed and placed it back under her pillows.
'I still cant believe what happened. I meet my soulmate and then destiny comes and interfered and I loose him! I hate my destiny, I hate my duty as Sailor Moon, as Serenity as.myself,' she thought angrily, hot tears spilled. 'I want to tell you everything Harry, my life, who I am, what I am.' She rolled over to her other side facing the mirror. She surveyed her tear stricken face. Her whole face was all puffy, her eyes were all reed and tears were still flowing freely. 'I look horrible,' she thought wiping away some tears.
'Shouldn't I be happy? Harry will be out of too much danger. He wont have to worry anymore of anything,' she thought staring blankly at her reflection. 'then why am I not happy?' she asked herself. She then started crying again when the simple answer hit her heart, "I love him," she said aloud, her empty heart wrenched in pain with realization and emptiness.
~
When Harry arrived at lunch. He didn't feel so good, he was able to control his crying so that no one would notice him crying. 'What have I done?' moaned Harry mentally taking a seat opposite of Ron.
"Hey where's Usagi?" asked Ron looking at the empty seat next to Harry.
Harry's heart made a twist. It hurt him so badly that he broke up with Usagi. He shrugged his shoulders trying to act normal, "I don't know," he answered. He really didn't know here Usagi was or what she was doing.
Seiya turned to Harry grinning slyly, "So, what where you two talking about?" he asked after shoving a spoonful of food into his mouth and swallowing it.
Harry shrugged again, trying to act normal and not to fall into tears. "Nothing much," he answered again in a monotone voice. He starred down at his plate pushing the food around with his fork. His thought kept wondering back to Usagi. Replaying the event that just unfold, 'Why can't you just tell me?' he thought. Tears brimmed his eyes but he blinked them away quickly before anyone could have a chance to see them.
"It's really not like Usagi to miss a meal," commented Taiki after a while staring at the empty seat beside Harry.
Yaten nodded waving his fork in agreement, "It's very un-odango-atama like." He said thoughtfully.
Harry stayed silent and starred at his plate blankly. Not having the stomach to eat anything right now. 'How could I do it?' the question kept on repeating in his head.
'But why couldn't she just thrust me? Doesn't she have any thrust in me?' the thought while they were all walking to class after lunch. 'You didn't thrust her either,' his logical side said. 'But I was worried. I needed to know where she always went to, I am concerned,' he thought back angrily.
~Flashback~
"I can't just tell you! I want you to be safe. I don't want you to get hurt," said Usagi through tears.
~End of Flashback~
'Hurt? You don't want me to get hurt. But I am hurt!' he thought as he remembered Usagi's words. He felt a painful tug in his heart. His heart felt so empty. He remembered when he kissed Usagi, his heart felt so full. She seemed to have filled the empty space in his heart. Now, he felt so alone. So out of place. He felt nothing, no love. He felt jealous of Seiya for knowing so much more about Usagi so well. He felt betrayed that Usagi wouldn't tell him what is going on. He felt hurt. He then remembered the brief kisses they shared, he knew that he would never experience them no more. his heart wrenched in pain, he finally found the girl that he loved but now she was gone because of him and his jealousy. He felt hot tears prick his eyes, he furiously blinked them away before they had a chance to fall.
He now realized how he felt right now. He felt alone, he needed Usagi. Harry mentally sighed, 'What have I done?' he repeated again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the pain of loss. The more he knew he loved Usagi. 'I love her,' he repeated. His empty heart wrenched in pain, 'I love her,'
For the rest of the day Usagi didn't appear to any of the classes. The teachers gave surprised looks when they noticed Usagi wasn't around. Hermione, Ron and the lights grew worried about Usagi. It wasn't like Usagi to miss lunch and all her afternoon classes. They were suspecting something happened between Harry and Usagi, since Harry was the last one with her. also Harry seemed so down all afternoon. He seemed depressed.
They were all in the Great Hall eating dinner after their classes. They occasionally cast worried glances at Harry who seemed to be deep in thoughts.
"I wonder where Usagi is," said Hermione full of concern. She shot Harry a worried look before turning to Ron with a worried look.
"Dunno, I just hope she's fine," answered Ron concern written all over his face.
"It's really not like Usagi for her to miss lunch earlier, then all afternoon classes and now dinner," said Taiki looking at the doors expecting Usagi to walk through them at the very moment. But which never happened.
"I don't blame her for missing classes. But missing lunch AND dinner now that's really un-Usagi like." Said Yaten after swallowing his loaf of bread.
Seiya starred at Harry suspiciously, 'what happened? Did he hurt her? When I'm going to find out, I'm gonna.' he thought angrily, he held his fork tighter. "What did you two talk about this morning? What really happened?" he asked Harry again. Hermione, Ron, Taiki and Yaten stopped eating and starred at Harry expecting an answer.
Harry looked up from his plate. A sad expression was written on his face. He shrugged his shoulders sadly, "Nothing, nothing for you guys to worry about," he mumbled not daring to meet their eyes.
Seiya starred at Harry angrily ready to pop with anger. "What do you mean not worry?! We are worried sick about Usagi! We haven't seen her obviously all day. And it seems like it had something to do with whatever you talked about. You were the last one with her!" he exclaimed angrily staring at Harry.
Taiki cleared his throat, "You know, he's got a point," he said pushing away his own plate and starring at Harry. Ron and Hermione nodded in agreement. Yaten tried his best to restrain Seiya from lashing out on Harry.
Harry stared at Seiya full of jealousy. 'He knows her so well, better than I do,' he thought angrily. 'But still you love her,' his mind said. 'I do' he answered. He then turned to Seiya, "Look, I don't know where she is. What we talked about was private none of your business." He answered finally. He turned back to his dinner fighting back the urge to cry, his heart still felt so empty. His heart kept on twisting in pain. 'Usagi I am sorry,' he thought she was here right now and hear his words.
Ron, Hermione, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten shared puzzled looks. They were all thinking the same thing. 'Harry and Usagi must have broke up' but the single word lingered in their minds. 'Why?'
~Gryffindor Common Room~
For the whole night Usagi didn't appear at all. Their suspicions were affirmed that Harry and Usagi really did break up, but why. They were all gathered in the common room almost all Gryffindors were talking about tomorrow Quidditch match against Slytherin. Oliver as usual was sure that they were going to win. Hermione, Ron, Harry and the lights were all sitting near the fireplace. Occasionally they would stare at Harry and give him sympathetic glances. Well, except for Seiya who wanted to kill Harry for hurting Usagi.
Harry seemed to be deep in thoughts he hadn't spoken after dinner after Seiya's sudden out break. They noticed that occasionally a solitary would make its way down his cheek.
"Harry are you alirght?" asked finally Hermione. She placed down the book she was reading and looked at Harry concerned. She had it finally enough with his solitary state. She needed some answers and she needed them now. Besides they were all friends, friends are there to help.
Harry woke up from his thought and starred blankly at his friends. He nodded blankly before going back in doing nothing. "Fine.just fine" he mumbled absent-mindedly.
"You really don't look alright to us," countered Ron folding his arms across his chest and staring accusingly at Harry.
Harry sighed heavily, he felt as if his whole world crushed down on him. 'I wonder where Usagi is,' he wondered sadly. "I'm fine, really," he answered with another loud sigh.
Hermione starred at him, "We know something is wrong here. You haven't been yourself ever since this morning. You seem to be troubled, you can tell us what's wrong. We are your friends." She said full of concern.
Harry sighed and slumped deeper into his seat. While staring about blankly. 'Should I tell them what happened? What would be their reaction? What would be Seiya's reaction?' he contemplated thoughtfully.
Taiki cleared his throat loudly, "It seems to us that happened between you and Usagi. It looks like you two had a fight or something," he said. The others all nodded in agreement.
"Look, we are all concerned here. Especially about Usagi. We want to know!" said Seiya sternly.
Harry sighed in defeat, he had to tell them or else it might eat him up. It was very evident that they were all concerned. 'Might as well tell them,' he finally agreed. "Alright already.I'm telling," he mumbled in defeat. The last thing he wanted to do was to tell them how he felt and what happened.
"Usagi and I.we had a.fight," he said slowly not knowing what else to say.
Ron fell out of his chair at the news. Taiki dropped the book he was reading, it clattered loudly on the floor. Hermione dropped her quill in surprise. Yaten had to hold on to Seiya to keep him from lashing out on Harry, who hadn't noticed Seiya at all. And Seiya was ready to kill. Even though they expected that answer it was still quite shocking to hear the truth.
Seiya glared angrily at Harry. 'How could he?!' he mentally shouted. 'I trusted him. I trusted him to treat Usagi right and not to hurt her! he hurt her' he thought angrily. He wanted to strangle Harry right now, good thing that Yaten was holding him by his robes.
"When? What happened? How? Why?" asked Hermione concerned. She helped won back up to his seat. She couldn't believe what it that Usagi and Harry had a fight. Both of them were head over heels over each other and now that they're a couple they had a fight.
Harry sighed sadly, he couldn't just tell them what they were fighting about. He noticed that Seiya looked ready to kill him. Harry cringed under Seiya's angry gaze. He took some uneven breaths before answering a concerned Hermione.
"After Care of Magical Creatures. We just had an argument that's all. As for how it happened, I can't tell you, why, it's personal."
Hermione just sat there baffled. She starred at a sad heartbroken Harry. somehow she couldn't image Harry having a fight with his own girlfriend. She stood up abruptly. "I'm going to the dorms, I guess Usagi is up there. maybe she wants to talk," she said. With that she disappeared up the girls dorm.
"So you guys.broke up or something?" asked Ron, he still couldn't believe what just happened. Harry and Usagi were perfect for each other and now they aren't together anymore. Ron couldn't believe his ears.
Harry slumped further into his chair, he took off his glass and rubbed his eyes before putting them back on. "I don't know.probably.I did say it" he said while heaving a loud and heavy sigh.
Ron shock his head sadly at Harry. "You are really in a lot of trouble," he said while patting Harry compassionately on the back for support.
"But you two were doing great. Everything was going on fine with the two of you." Protested Taiki after a long moment of silence. He really didn't want the Moon princess all saddened even more.
Harry shock his head, "It just happened! I don't want to discuss it right now, alright?!" he said in frustration. He stood up and grabbed his things. "I am done here, need some sleep for tomorrows Quidditch match," he mumbled. He swiftly walked up the stairs towards the boys' dorm.
"Oh boy, things move fast around here," exclaimed Yaten after releasing Seiya by the robes.
"Poor Harry, just when he found love, he lost it." said Ron shaking his head.
Seiya stared in the direction Harry went to. 'How could he just hurt Usagi! Usagi was so happy with him and now Usagi must be really heartbroken. This is it, I am going to have a serious talk with potter,' he thought. After making a decision, Seiya stood up, gathered his things and with determination he started to walk towards the boys dorm.
Taiki and Yaten looked up at Seiya with concern. Fearing that Seiya might do something drastic like hurt Harry or something along the lines.
"Where are you going?" asked Yaten suspiciously.
Seiya looked over his shoulder and to their surprise he smiled at them. "I need to talk to Harry. Straighten things out a bit." He said before continuing walking. 'Harry should realize how much Usagi means to us, and how much he means to her, even though I don't like it at all.' He added silently.
~Boys Dorm~
Harry lay in his huge four-poster bed and blankly stared at the ceiling of his bed. 'I wonder what Usagi is doing. How is she doing? Is she taking everything well? I didn't see her for the rest of the day, I hope she is fine,' Harry thought sadly. he looked around the empty dorm, it seemed like it suited him, his feelings. 'Empty, like my whole being is gone,' Harry thought sadly. he really wasn't in the mood for Quidditch tomorrow, he wasn't in the mood for anything actually. But they wanted to win tomorrows match so he had to do it.
Harry rolled over to his side and faced his nightstand, only to come face to face with a picture. There on the nightstand stood a small picture frame and it was the same picture that Usagi had. Both of them dressed up for the ball, Harry mentally groaned as he saw the two of them smiling and waving up at him. The picture was taken after they became a couple, both of them looked so happy in the picture. 'Was it the right thing to do?' he asked himself yet again as he watched the beautiful picture Usagi get hugged by his picture self. He also noted how happy both of them looked, how beautiful Usagi really was that night. Somehow they looked perfect together. Harry groaned loudly out of frustration, he rolled over on his back again. Looking at the picture brings to much pain to him.
He glared up at the ceiling, he hadn't seen Usagi after their fight and it felt like he hadn't seen her for years. He missed her so much, 'What's wrong with me? I finally find the girl that I love but now I have nothing. I am all alone again, how could I do it? How could I have hurt Usagi? I love her!' he thought, his insides churning. He felt so empty without Usagi.
Harry sighed again and closed his eyes and tried to ease his mind. 'Maybe sleep will help,' he thought slowly drifting off to sleep. An image of Usagi's tear stained face flashed in his mind. Harry's eyes snapped open out of surprise and he was even more surprised to see a serious Seiya hovering above him. 'Great just what I need, more suffering' he thought while mentally groaning.
Seiya starred down at Harry's sleeping form. Well, what seemed like sleeping. He couldn't image that this was the guy Usagi fell in love with. The one who broke her heart. And now hen Seiya Kou, is going to talk some sense into Harry Potter. 'I should be really happy right now, Usagi could be mine. But.they belong together. Somehow,' Seiya thought. He folded his arms across his chest and waited for Harry to wake up. When he finally did wake up, he heaved a mental sigh and gathering up all his pride he glared down at Harry and spoke up.
"We need to talk," he said, he didn't know how heavy that statement lingered in the air.
Harry was surprised to hear that from Seiya, but he had gained his full attention. He sat up and with his back he leaned on the headboard of his bed. He was wondering what Seiya would be saying, 'But I'm not up to this right now,' thought Harry as he leaned with his back further against the headboard. He turned and looked at Seiya who was leaning against one of the wooden posts of his bed. Harry sighed, he feared that Seiya would say something really unexpected. "So?" Harry said as he looked at Seiya expecting the unexpected.
Seiya stared down at Harry trying to stop himself from lashing out on Harry. 'I still can't believe I'm doing this,' he thought angrily. "Let's get straight to the point, what really happened between you and Usagi? There must be a reason for the two of you breaking up," said Seiya finally, looking down at Harry as if he had committed a crime.
Harry turned away, he knew that this would be Seiya's question. He couldn't bare and look into Seiya's accusing face. "Like I said, it's personal. I don't wish to discuss it," he mumbled while looking out the dark night window. Harry then looked back at Seiya suspiciously after a long moment, "Why do you want to know what happened?" he asked.
Seiya shrugged nonchalantly and turned and looked at Harry, "Don't know, I guess I am just concerned for the both of you,"
Harry nodded, not knowing what else there is to say. Seiya was still leaning on one of the posts of his bed seeming to be deep in thought.
"You know," began Seiya after a long moment of silence. This part was really hard for him to say, "I care for her. I care for Usagi so much that I.. I love her. well, I used to love her. You came into her life and brightened up everything that I couldn't do. you made her smile again, laugh again, be her old self again. Even though I could do most of it, but I never was able to give back her shine like you did. Because you love her in someway what that differs from my love to her and she loves you the same way. She always will. I don't want anyone of you hurt especially Usagi. You don't, but she's been through a lot lately in her life. There have been so many changes, so much pain in her life. She needs someone like you right now. Both of you are my friends and I don't want anyone of you hurt, just remember, she loves you." Seiya finished with a long sigh. He couldn't believe what he just said. 'But it's true,' he thought in defeat. He calmly stared down at a shocked Harry.
Harry was shocked, surprised as well to hear anything like that coming from Seiya. 'So he loved her,' he thought as his words were sinking in. his feelings of jealousy coming back to him but this time only a little bit of it only. He felt guilty about himself, he hurt Usagi's heart because of his jealousy. 'How could I? She still loves me, I still love her. I need her.' he thought sadly. he was about to say something to Seiya when the door of their dorm burst open and their friends came sleepily walking in and making their way towards their beds. Harry looked at Seiya who just briefly nodded his head and then walked away to join Yaten and Taiki.
That night Harry wasn't able to sleep properly at all. His thoughts were somewhere else. He was thinking about what Seiya had said. 'Usagi' he thought sadly. his heart felt emptier than ever. Several tears made their way down his cheeks and soaked his pillow as more followed. He cried silently for his loss. That night, there was no Moon shining the night sky at all.
~Girls Dorm~
Usagi took a careful look around her, everyone was still sound asleep in their beds. 'That wont last long' thought Usagi smiling. she fell asleep after her countless hours of crying. Luckily no one woke her up and asked questions. Usagi sighed, the events of yesterday still fresh on her mind. 'Harry,' she thought sadly.
Standing up she made her way to the mirror and starred into the mirror. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she grimaced. Her eyes were still red and puffy from all the crying. She must have cried during her sleep also. Her hair was all matted and wet. There were visible tearstains on her face. 'This is not what a princess should look like,' thought Usagi while making another race in the mirror.
She turned around and faced the small grandfather clock, it read '6:30 am'. Usagi sighed, it was still too early. 'Only a few hours left till the Quidditch match' thought Usagi happily while making her way to a large window. The match would distract her mind from Harry. she managed to smile, she was looking forward to the match. 'My first Quidditch match, I'm gonna make you proud Mom,' thought Usagi. She opened the window and was immediately hit by a cold gust of wind. It felt somewhat refreshing to Usagi, the cold November wind ruffling her already ruffed up hair.
She starred out at the still dark sky. The sun hasn't risen yet so it was still fairly dark. Usagi enjoyed the silence for a while until her smile turned into a frown. There was a shift of the wind and Usagi felt it. Usagi looked around alarmed, 'Voldemort' was the only word that ringed in her mind. She quickly turned her head into the direction where the dark energy radiated. The Quidditch Pitch. 'What the Hell?' Usagi saw nothing at all. Nothing out of the ordinary. The presence was at the Quidditch pitch but it quickly disappeared as it came. As if it knew it was spotted. Usagi's frown grew deeper, 'Something's going to happen,' she thought. She continued to look at the Quidditch pitch trying to find the presence again but to no avail. Sighing loudly she closed the window and walked back to her bed. 'Something's happening here, but what is there plan? Are they going to attack?' she glared out the window in frustration not knowing what she was going to do. 'Wait, I am going to wait.' she concluded. She looked around the still silent room, some were already stirring in their beds about to wake up. Usagi stood up and walked towards the bathroom, 'Might as well use up the time and get ready for the match,' she thought wryly.
~Somewhere in a Dark Secluded House~
The house stood alone, no one dared to enter the house. Evil reeked around the house, nothing living surrounded it. Even the animals of the forest did not dare to come close to it. strange noises could be heard from the inside. Inside the house everything felt evil. But somehow the inside of the house differed from the outside, it was much larger that expected. There were dark long gloomy corridors leading to different parts of the haunted house.
In the middle of the house or the heart was the Center of Pure Evil. Darkness loomed everywhere. There was only a fireplace that burned and illuminated the figures in the darkened room. infront of the fire sat a cloaked figure, Voldemort cackling evilly about his sinister plan. He was still weak since his last encounter with Harry Potter but that will change soon. Slowly he is rising to power his new body giving much strength that he needed. The youmas did a fine job delivering energy to him. He starred into the blazing flames and laughed again crazily, thinking about the plans they had prepared, what they had install for the little Moon Princess.
"Soon, it'll be soon. Then I shall have her," said Voldemort in a raspy voice. He laughed again, his laughter piercing through the darkness.
Behind him stood 8 figures. 7 of which were women and only one of them man. They stood proudly behind Voldemort, they were none other than the Sailor senshi and the earth prince in his armor. All of them had unreadable expressions on their faces, since they were all in darkness. But their eyes shimmered through the darkness; an evil glint was in all of them. The flames of the fire evident in their eyes. Some of them smirked while others laughed as they talked about their plans. What is going to happen to their little 'Princess'.
"The crystal will be in my hands soon. Than I shall have the power again. The little Moon Princess will be in for a surprise when she sees her 'Guardians' again." Cackled Voldemort. His hand reached forward and grinned when he saw in the flames a dead corpse of the Moon Princess.
"We shall not fail you master." Said Endymon, a sinister smirk played on his lips. "Serenity and the Ginzushou will be here I promise. The Moon Princess will be in for a lot of fun," he added. He turned to the senshi and nodded his head signaling for them to leave. The senshi nodded in response and all eight of them disappeared in one of the many dark corridors.
"Master?..do you think...think..they shall be successful?" asked a short bald man that cowered in the corner. In a way, he resembled a rat with his small pointy nose.
Voldemort grinned sadistically into the darkness. "We shall she, we shall see Pettigrew."
~Breakfast~
Everyone in the Great Hall was talking about the upcoming Quidditch match. Excited buzzing filled the hall as everyone ate and talked about who is going to win. An extreme tension hung between the Gryffindors and the Slytherins, occasionally they would hit each other with some nasty remarks.
Oliver seemed not to care about it though, he was all worked up for the game. He made sure that all his teammates were eating for strength for the match. But what concerned him the most was, Usagi still hadn't shown up yet. He made his way where Harry and his friends were seated.
"Harry, where's Usagi? We need Usagi on the team. She hasn't shown up yet." Oliver exclaimed looking down at a gloomy Harry Potter expecting an answer.
Harry squirmed in his seat. The topic 'Usagi' wasn't still good for him. It made him think back to last nights encounter with Seiya. And thinking about Usagi made him miss her. true he hasn't seen her at all this morning. And she still hasn't shown up for breakfast. He grew worried about her by now, "I don't know Oliver, I haven't seen her yet," he said trying to hide his saddened feelings.
"What do you mean, you don't know? Where is she?" screeched Oliver looking frantic. He couldn't bare to loose a great Chaser. Also he didn't know what happened between Usagi and Harry, he still thinks that they are still a couple.
Hermione, seeing Harry's discomfort, cleared her throat and looked up at Oliver and beamed him a smile. "Don't worry, Usagi will be probably down in a few minutes. When we woke this morning she was still in the bath. I know she takes a long time in the bath," she said smiling up at Oliver hoping that he would move on soon. Oliver sure did, but he kept an eye on the door, if Usagi came through it he would drag her to a seat and make her eat her breakfast.
"So did you get a chance to talk to Usagi?" asked Ron after taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
Hermione sighed, she didn't," No, I didn't. When I arrived she was already asleep." Hermione shuddered, Usagi's tear stained face flashed in her mind. "She must have cried all day. Her face was tear struck. She looked so miserable, poor Usagi," Hermione shook her head but then noticed Harry looking equally as miserable as Usagi. "Sorry," she mumbled an apology to Harry.
Harry shrugged trying to act normal, "It's alirght," he mumbled. He looked at Seiya was busy talking with Yaten and Taiki. He remembered their talk last night, he still couldn't believe that Seiya loved Usagi. Seiya's words made him feel so guilty for what he did. And from what Hermione said about Usagi it made him feel more miserable that he already is.
"Hey," exclaimed Yaten suddenly. He pointed towards the Hall's doors. "It's Usagi,"
And for sure enough Usagi came walking in. she looked like her usual self, except that her eyes were slightly red. With her usual French braid, she wore a blue sweater and usual pants. When she entered she was pounced by Oliver and dragged towards the table for breakfast.
Harry and the others looked up and looked at Usagi being dragged away by an overjoyed Oliver. To Harry, Usagi seemed more beautiful than ever. His heart wrenched in pain when he realized they were no longer together. Just before Usagi was to sit down with the rest of the Quidditch by Oliver, Usagi looked in their direction. Harry and Usagi's eyes meet. Pain flashed briefly in her red eyes as they stared into each other's eyes what seemed like an eternity but it soon was replaced when her eyes flashed again and an unreadable expression covered her face. Usagi broke their connection and looked away and sat down next to Angelina and Alicia.
Harry sighed and placed his head in his hands. This was getting difficult for him to handle. He really wished that he could take back what he said yesterday.
Ron looked on and noticed Usagi sitting way back with the Quidditch team. "I guess she won't be sitting with us," he said thoughtfully.
Taiki turned to Seiya with a questioning look, "What did you tell Harry last night? He seems more down that yesterday. He's radiating with misery,"
Seiya shrugged and smiled mysteriously at his two friends, "Made him realize some things. That's all, what we talked about was only between the two of us," he said giving them a cocky grin.
Yaten rolled his eyes at Seiya, "Good thing is that you didn't kill him or else we would all be at the dormitory searching for his remains," he said.
Seiya just shrugged and looked at Harry, 'I hope you patch things up with Usagi, before it may be too late.' He thought.
~Gryffindor Locker Room~
"Alirght team this is it!" exclaimed Oliver loudly after they all had changed into their Scarlet Quidditch Robes. "We will win, I can smell it!" he shouted enthusiastically.
"Oliver, that's not what you are smelling. I can assure you that," pointed out Fred.
"Yeah, it's probably just your socks," said George. This was followed by a 'Shut up' and glare by Oliver and a round full of giggles of all the girls in the locker room.
Harry didn't listen at all at Oliver's usual pep talk. His eye's kept wandering back to a now giggling Usagi. Both of them hadn't spoken to each other at all. And when he would look at her and she would turn his way, she wouldn't meet his eyes. She would just turn away and listen to Oliver. He sighed, he wanted to be with Usagi now and hug her tightly and tell her it will be alirght, that he was sorry. 'But how?' he asked himself groaning. He already came to a conclusion that he would make up to Usagi but the only problem is if she would accept him back?
Usagi turned her head and stole a glance at Harry. she frowned, he seemed to be deep in thoughts again. She really didn't know what to do anymore, she still felt strongly connected to him but she made sure that their 'Bond' was cut. Was he thinking about getting back together? Her heart skipped a beat at that thought, 'Remember this is for the best, put a stop to you emotions,' she said to herself.
Usagi turned her attention back at Oliver, who still kept rambling on about teamwork. Finding something better to do than to listen to Oliver's ramblings, Usagi tightened her braid so that it won't come loose during the game. 'Think about the match, you need to concentrate and not think about your hopeless love life.' She scolded herself. True she was excited for the game and true again her love life was a hopeless case. Turning her attention back to the match, she was excited all right, and overly nervous. This was her first game as Gryffindor Chaser and she intended to win. 'I am going to make you proud mother,' she thought in determination.
"We are going to win this match. If we win we will be one step closer to the cup," said Oliver pumping his fist in the air.
"He's full of team spirit, make that over team spirit.he'd make a great cheerleader." Mumbled Usagi to herself.
Angelina and Alicia had overheard Usagi mumbling to herself and giggled lightly at the idea of Oliver as a cheerleader.
"He's always like that," said Angelina grinning.
"It's like this before every match." Added Alicia, shaking her head at Oliver's team spirit.
"We know his speeches by heart," said Fred, having overheard the girl's conversation. He then smiled, "Oliver might look good with a skirt and pompoms thanks for the idea" he added thoughtfully having come up with another prank.
"Oliver is just like that, a perky guy. A perfect cheerleader as you said, said George, he then placed his hand over his heart and made a dramatic notion, "We honor him for that, Oh, bless his pep-talking, perky heart,"
Usagi shock her head at the twins' antics. "Always like that eh?" repeated Usagi turning her attention back at Oliver, who hadn't noticed that no one was listening to his ramblings.
".but now we are going to win again. We have a great team as always. And a new secret weapon, we got a superb Chaser on our team. Faster than the speed of light, I tell you! That will make the other teams bite the dust. You, Usagi, will make us win!" exclaimed Oliver.
Usagi looked slightly shocked at Oliver's sudden out burst. She then blushed at the sudden attention, the twins started to applaud her and make dramatic bows.
"Plus we got our great Seeker, we have got the Dream Team! Harry, has never lost the Snitch.well except for that one time.but who's counting? Anyway, let's get out there and WIN THIS GAME!" shouted Oliver.
~Quidditch Pitch~
loud cheers filled the whole pitch, the stands were filled with all the students. Cheers and thunderous filled the air when the players flew into the Pitch.
"Welcome to this years First Quidditch Match," came Lee Jordan's voice, magically amplified. "And today's match will be Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. This will be tough match, one can clearly see the tension between the two teams. I am sure Gryffindor will win though.go Gryffindor! Oh. Sorry Professor."
Usagi took in her surroundings from where she was flying. All around her loud cheers could be hear. To her left was Angelina flying and to her right was Alicia flying. It was up to her to get the Quaffle first. She looked up and saw Harry flying a few feet above her. 'Turn you attention to the game!' she shouted to herself. 'This is it, the big match, I can do this,' she coached her self.
"Hey, Tsukino! I think grandmamma will be proud and happy that you use her broom," shouted Malfoy across to her. all the Slytherins began to laugh at his joke.
Usagi scowled at Malfoy, "Yeah right Malfoy, let's just see who gets the last laugh. Be prepared to bit the dust!" she shouted back. She could hear Alicia and Angelina cheer at her, "You go girl!" "Show him what a girls' made of!"
Mdm. Hooch came to the center of the pitch and released the Golden Snitch and the two Bludgers. "I want a fair match understand?" she shouted staring particularly at the Slytherins. She blew her silver whistle and threw the Quaffle in the air. The game was off!
"And immediately the Quaffle if taken by Usagi Tsukino of Gryffindor! She is the new addition to the team. An excellent Chaser, just look how she just zooms by everyone, I can hardly see her! she moves so swiftly! And what a great broom she owns, never seen anything like it, the Lunarwind. They say it is faster that the Firebolt. What an exemplary model in deed, just look at its fluid movements!"
"Jordan! Stick to the game!" came McGonagal's voice.
"Sorry Professor,"
Usagi grinned, she was doing great. She loved the rush of the game. 'This is fun,' she thought happily. With expertise she easily dodged Bludgers and some Slytherin Chasers.
"Gryffindor in possession, Tsukino moves in to score --- and she SCORES! Ten points for Gryffindor! Way the go Usagi! You go girl!" loud cheers from the Gryffindors filled the air as hissing noises and boo's came from the Slytherins. "Slytherin in possession, team captain Flint holding the Quaffle.passes to Pucey - OUCH! That must've hurt, hit by the head by a Bludger curtsey of Fred Weasley.or is it George, don't know the difference.Gryffindor in possession, the Quaffle held by Alicia Spinnet.passes to.watch out!!" came Lee's shout of surprise.
Alicia passed or rather threw the Quaffle towards Usagi, who was about to catch it, but at the same moment a Bludger came pelting towards Usagi. Then Usagi did the unthinkable, she did the 'Sloth Grip Roll' (AN: I found that one in Quidditch Throughout the ages!) but the surprising thing was, she was hanging upside down with only her feet gripping on tightly on the broomstick, with her free hands she kept a firm and steady hold on the Quaffle. Usagi grinned and stuck her tongue out at Goyle, who was the one who sent the Bludger at her. 'It takes much harder to wipe me out!' she thought sending a cocky grin towards a fuming Malfoy. Usagi turned back upright and flew away with the Quaffle still in hand. Loud cheers erupted from the amazed Gryffindors. "I can't believe my eyes! She just did a perfect Sloth Grip Roll stunt! Amazing!" shouted Lee gleefully.
The game continued, Gryffindor was now in lead with 30 to 10. Malfoy scowled as he stared angrily down at the game. 'Tsukino is good, too good for her own sake,' he thought angrily. He then smirked when an idea came to his head. 'Time for some cheating,' he thought as he flew down towards Crabe, Slytherins other Beater.
"Any luck in hitting Tsukino?" asked Malfoy, he scowled when he received a No as an answer. "Well, then let me help you," he suggested. Malfoy grabbed Crabe's club and waited for the right moment.
Just then a Bludger came flying their way and to Malfoy`s delight Usagi wasn't to far away. he forcefully hit the Bludger with all his might making it fly full force towards Usagi.
WHAM! The Bludger hit Usagi straight on the shoulder. One could have heard the cracking of bones over the loud shout of pain Usagi made. The air filled with loud shouts of 'Usagi!' from her teammates and Boo's and Foul's from the Gryffindors. The Slytherins cheered in delight as they saw a Gryffindor in pain.
Usagi lost her balance and fell off her broom because of the sudden hit and the searing pain on her now broken arm. Luckily she was able to grab hold of her broom with her good hand, before she completely fell off. With the rest of her strength, she pulled herself back onto her broom. Usagi winced when she cradled her broken arm. 'Somehow this isn't fun anymore,' she thought while again wincing from the pain. From the corner of her eye she could see Mdm. Hooch speak angrily with Malfoy. In turn Gryffindor got a free shot at the goal post, of course Gryffindor scored.
"A foul!!! Made by that disgusting, cheating git Malfoy!" shouted Lee angrily after the incident.
"Jordan I am warning you," said McGonagal threathingly. But she did feel the same way right now towards Malfoy.
Harry scowled at Malfoy as he flew by him towards Usagi. He couldn't believe that Malfoy had it in him to do such a thing to Usagi. "You alirght?" he asked as he looked with concern into Usagi's eyes. All he wanted to do now was to kill Malfoy for what he did to his Usagi.
Usagi looked away from Harry's penetrating green eyes. "Yeah, fine," she said, a hint of pain was still evident. Now she really didn't want to deal with Harry. she sighed and without another word she flew away from him before all her emotional barriers would brake.
Oliver signaled for a time out, all of them landed and the Gryffindors huddled together on the right side of the pitch. With much pain Usagi sat down on the grass and clutched her now useless arm painfully she grimaced on how painful it really was. Oliver turned and looked down at her with concern he couldn't bare to see one of his teammates in pain. "You alirght? Can you still hang in there for a couple more minutes?" he asked kneeling infront of Usagi. Usagi nodded her head, seeming that she had lost her voice from all that pain.
"We need the Snitch, find it!" said Oliver as he turned to Harry with a serious expression on his face.
Harry nodded and looked down at Usagi sitting on the ground cradling her arm. He was fully concerned about her. With a determined look, he was going to beat Malfoy to the Snitch. He owned this to Usagi. Soon they all went back to the game with a new determination.
~Stands~
"Did you see that?! That cheating, disgusting Git!" exclaimed Ron standing up and shouting at the top of his lungs along with all the other Gryffindors after Usagi got hit by the Bludger.
"Malfoy really did go too far this time," agreed Hermione as she stared down at Usagi with her worried brown eyes.
"Did you feel it?" whispered Yaten, looking frantically around the stands after everyone settled down. The other two lights nodded in agreement both of them looking around the quidditch area with alarmed eyes. Moment's age, an evil presence made itself known, but it disappeared quickly after Usagi got hit.
"Keep your eyes open and don't let your guard down. We can't protect her if we are here and she is way out there," whispered Taiki.
"Something's up, I know it," whispered Seiya. the other two nodded still keeping an eye on Usagi who hadn't noticed anything wrong at all.
Just across the stand, where all he teachers were seated, Professor Meioh looked up suddenly and narrowed her eyes.
"Something wrong Setsuna?" asked Dumbledore, who sat next to her.
"They are here," whispered Setsuna in response, alarm was evident in her voice as she looked around alarmed.
~Pitch~
"After that foul, cheating and disgusting move by the equally disgusting Slytherin seeker Malfoy," shouted Lee angrily loudly. He danced way from McGonagal who tried frantically to get the magical megaphone away from him but soon just gave up. "Gryffindor still is in the lead. Back to the game, Gryffindor in possession, Alicia moves in to score.OH! Intercepted by Slytherin Chaser Pusey.moves into score.Oh no!! Slytherin scores!" moaned lee loudly. Loud cheers erupted from the Slytherins as they gained a score while boos came from the rest of the houses.
Harry looked around the pitch trying vainly to find the Snitch. He saw Malfoy at the other end laughing his head off at Usagi, who struggled to keep her balance on her broom. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Malfoy, wishing he could knock him out cold. Then he saw it, the Golden Snitch by the Slytherins goal posts and obviously Malfoy hadn't seen it at all. With a rush of excitement, with full speed of his Firebolt he rushed towards the posts. Obviously Malfoy had seen him flying towards the post he quickly followed Harry. the two of them were flying at top speed, with Harry in the lead. Neck to neck, Harry and Malfoy rushed towards the Snitch. Both extended their arms trying to reach the Snitch before the other. Suddenly Harry made an abrupt turn and to his luck his hand enclosed onto the cold Snitch. Because of the sudden abrupt turn, Malfoy slammed directly into the goal post. Harry flew back up and heard Mdm. Hooch blow her whistle, signaling the end of the game.
Loud cheers erupted from the Gryffindors as Harry held out the Golden Snitch. Cheers of joy erupted from the Gryffindors, their banner of the Lion rose up highly. They were all shouting themselves hoarse, Gryffindor had won the match!
"Gryffindor Wins! A superb catch made by Gryffindors wonderful seeker, Harry Potter!" shouted lee gleefully.
Usagi grinned as they flew higher in the air for a victory flight. They had won! She saw Wood flying around happily as if his birthday came early. She enjoyed the feeling of victory so much that she didn't notice the sudden change of mood at all. A wave of murmurs erupted from the stands.
Down on the ground, a mysterious black portal opened out of nowhere it was the cause of the sudden commotion. But Usagi hadn't noticed at all. The light and Professor Meioh and all the other Professor stood up and looked down at the portal with surprised and alarmed gazes.
"What a great match! Gryffindor won, Great work guys! it was ... What the heck?!?!" shouted Lee when he saw the portal on the ground.
But it was Professor McGonagal's shout that made Usagi aware of the situation. "MISS TSUKINO WATCH OUT!!!" came her shout through the magical megaphone. The shout was closely followed from shouting of warning from her teammates and screaming from the stands.
Usagi had just time to register what happened. When she heard the shouts, the evil presence washed over her again, this time stronger that ever. With an alarmed expression she turned her attention down at the ground and saw the portal. Her eyes grew wide with fear and recognition. 'Senshi!' her mind screamed in alarm. And the next thing she knew was that she heard McGonagal's shout of warning and Venus' Love Me Chain came flying out of the portal, hurdling towards her at top speed.
Before she had a chance to react, she let out a shout of pain as the chain bound tightly around her small waist cutting off all her oxygen. And there was a powerful tug on the chain and forcefully she was pulled from her broom in the air. Loud screams of terror filled the air as everyone saw Usagi being pulled off her broom and came crashing to the ground.
But the screams never reached Usagi's ears. Everything was moving to fast for her to register anymore, the next thing she knew, she collided to ground and pain jolted throughout her body and then her whole world went Black.
