Okay, this is a story of Usagi and Seiya, but not a Mamoru-bashing ficcy. It's a completely rewrite of Silver Millennium with Usagi and Seiya getting together. However, I'm not sure to make it sad or happy ending yet. Email me back at sakuralover2004@hotmail.com with comments and reviews because they make my day! Now, on with the story!

Don't Leave Me
Chapter 1
"GET UP!!" A raven-head 10 year old screamed as she shook a golden haired 10 year old girl out of her peaceful dreams.
"What did you do that for?" the little golden haired girl asked drowsily, still not quite awake as she rubbed her eyes.
"We are going to earth today!!! Aren't you a bit excited?" Rei, the little raven-head's voice was full of excitement.
"Why? I heard earth people are savages without any values," Princess Serenity said as she began to dress in her silver dress. Three other ten-year old senshis walked in.
"Actually, I've read that Earth is suppose to be a gorgeous place with plants and flowers everywhere," Ami, the blue-haired intellect said in a-matter-in-fact voice.
"Who cares?" Mina pushed Ami and Makoto aside as she rushed to the princess. "I just want to see the castle; I heard it's supposed to rival the Moon's."
"NO WAY!" Makoto said as she pushed Mina aside. "The barbarians could not possibly built something that even began to rival the Moon's castle." Mina was about to reply when a servant came in to inform the senshis and the princess that the Queen expect their leave in 10 minutes. The senshis busied themselves to get ready while Serenity put on her favorite moon pendant from her grandmother.
King Darius and Queen Gaia of Earth welcomed Queen Serenity, the princess, the senshis, and the royal guards when they arrived at their court. Polite greetings were exchanged and the princess and senshis were settled into their rooms while the King and Queens discussed about the main reason of the visit, an alliance between Earth and the Moon Kingdom.
"I believe that the marriage between our son, Prince Endymion, and your daughter, the supreme princess Serenity, is an important piece for our alliance. The Marriage would ensure the passing of the alliance from both of our people," King Darius said in his usual soft yet demanding tone.
"But I'm not very comfortable forcing my only daughter into a marriage," Queen Serenity said with a tone of doubt.
"Of course not, we'll allot time for the two young people to spend together so Endymion can court Serenity, so that they would want to be married, instead of just us telling them. We should keep this little….arrangement… quiet until the two of age. If they've already developed love for each other, that'll be perfect, if not we can always tell them then. Let's not jam these official matters of state into their young heads so soon," Queen Gaia said. Queen Serenity and King Darius decided it would be for the best and made the arrangement, in secrecy.
The next day, Prince Endymion, an apprentice (trying to be a Knight) named Chad, the senshis, and Serenity decided to visit the market. The senshis were overwhelmed with all the trinkets and tricks of Earth and the two earth boys were more than happy to show them around. Minako and Makoto couldn't wait to get to a palm shop with Endymion and Rei and Ami dragged Chad to see an opera of the Fire Goddess of Earth. However, in the confusion of the moment, Serenity was left all alone in the market. What can a 10-year-old girl do?
At first, Serenity was gonna cry, but she didn't wanna be screamed by Rei again when she see her again so Serenity decided act calm and just wait for them in front of a small fountain in the middle of the market. 'Besides, Chad and the Prince are only 3 years older than me. If they can manage by themselves, so can I.' Serenity thought with determination. However, determination soon turned into fear when 2 rugged-looking men approached her.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing here along?" one of the men said w/ an evil grin. The other one laughed while they grabbed Serenity by her arms. She was about to scream when one of the men put his large dirty hand on her mouth. Serenity was never so scared in her life. She struggled hard against the two men but her weak body was no match for them. Just when she thought she was going to die, she felt the two men's grasp on her loosens and she quickly slipped out and fell on the pavement. After a flash of movements, the two men ran away howling in pain. A hand extended for Serenity to help her up. When Serenity stood up, she saw a young boy around her age with jet black hair with deep blue eyes.
"Are you okay? A girl who can't defend herself shouldn't be out here by herself. If it wasn't for me, I'm sure you'd be dead by tonight," the young boy said in an arrogant and mischievous tone.
"I'm fine. Thank you for helping me," Serenity said in a trembling voice. She was very weak on her feet and the young boy had to hold her up. "Could you help me find my friends?"
"Sure, where are they?" the boy said as he looked around the area.
"I dunno, Minako and Makoto went to a palm shop while Ami and Rei went to see an opera about the Fire Goddess,"
"You're then either very stupid or just plain clueless." The boy whistled as they started to walk down a crowded street. Serenity shot him a dirty look. "However, since there's only one opera house around here, you're in luck," the boy said as he gave her a playful smile and a wink. Serenity looked up to study the boy's profile while he dragged her toward the opera house. His black hair was tied behind his back in a long ponytail. The boy emitted an aura of mystique and arrogance. However, his hold on her made her feel safe and protected. She was a bit disappointed when he released his hold on her.
"Were you listening to me?" the boy said in a very smug tone. "Or where you too busy staring at me?"
Serenity could feel her cheeks burning. "S..sorry, what did you say again?"
"For the 5th time, my name's Seiya, what's yours?" He asked in a fake exasperated tone.
"Serenity."
"Umm…, too formal, how about Odango Atama? Your hair reminds me of that. It seems I can just take it out of your hair and eat them," Seiya said in a snicker. Serenity punched him on the arm. Seiya mocked a painful yell. "Is this how you treat your savior?"
"I would've done just fine without you anyway," Serenity said as she stuck her tongue out, causing Seiya to laugh.
"Odango, Odango, Odango, Odango…." Seiya chanted as Serenity chased him down the street. "Hold on," he said as he stopped Serenity in front of a large black building. "This is the opera house. And Yup, they're playing Play With Fire."
"Oh! I see Rei and Ami!" Serenity said in an excited voice. "They are right up front! It's the blue haired girl and the raven-head!"
"Oh, then I guess I'll just leave you here. I need to get back to my brothers. It's been nice meeting you."
Serenity suddenly felt a wave of disappointment about Seiya leaving. For some reason, she didn't want him to leave. "Actually, I don't really want to watch this show. Do you want to explore the market?" Serenity blurted out suddenly, surprising herself and Seiya.
"Umm… I guess," his voice sounded reluctant but his deep blue eyes lit up by Serenity's offer. "I know this really cool place where they sell all sorts of trinkets, jewelry, and old looking books. It's called The Milky Way. Let's go!" Seiya said as he dragged her away from the opera house, feeling extremely excited for some unknown reason.
"Oh, it's raining," Serenity said as they walked out of the Milky Way store. Serenity and Seiya had gone through the entire story looking at many trinkets and jewels. They felt that they were old friends instead of complete strangers met just hours before.
"Here," Seiya said as he took off his navy blue jacket and held it over their heads as they walked out into the rain. Serenity was so close to Seiya that she could feel his warmness. She felt so safe that she didn't even notice they already arrived at the opera house. "The show's almost over," Seiya said as he peeked inside doors. "Do you want me to wait with you?"
"You don't have to," Serenity said with a shy voice.
"Okay." There was a minute of silence. Neither of them knew what to say, knowing fully that they probably would never see their new found friend again. "Well, I had fun today and …" Serenity suddenly gave a huge bear hug to a very surprised Seiya.
"I don't want to you to leave me so soon. We just got to know each other! Please don't leave me," Serenity said in a small voice.
"Here," Seiya gave a tiny ring with a star shaped diamond on it. "Keep it till we meet again. This way, a part of me never left you," Seiya gave Serenity a tough smile.
"I can't. You just bought the ring today. I can't take it."
"Then you can give me something in return, Odango." Serenity thought about it for a moment as she slowly put the right on her middle finger and took off her moon pendant from her neck.
"Here, now we're even." She said. "And don't call me ODANGO!" she said as she realized that he did it again. Seiya laughed while Serenity gave him a mad look.
"SEIYA!"
"Looks like my brothers had found me, I've got to go. Don't you dare lose my ring, Odango, don't lose my ring," Seiya said as he walked into the crowd.
"Bye…" Serenity waved at the crowded street.
"Hey, Serenity, that was the best show I've ever seen. Who'd known earthlings would know how entertain so well," Rei said as she came out of the opera house, almost screaming.
"So what did you do all day?" Ami frowned as she saw her dress being a bit wet and that she was alone. "Were you not with the Prince and the girls?"
"Oh, I met a friend and we shopped at a trinket store."
"Did you have fun?" Chad said nicely as he walked out of the opera house. Before she could answer though, Minako, Makoto, and Endymion came running toward them.
"WE WERE SO WORRIED WHEN WE COULDN'T FIND YOU!" Minako yelled hysterically as she hugged Serenity tightly.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Serenity smiled, as she thought about the black haired boy who saved her life.
