Yumeko: -_-

Yumeko: -_- Anyway let's start typing now that we are all awake. And Joey? Go away!

7:28 pm, Monday
Minako, Ami and Makoto were all together at Rei's shrine. Luna and Artemis weren't there however.
"Think we should go over and see how is everything?" Minako asked the girls.
"I don't know." Rei said, "I saw Usagi the other day. She was here the whole day and she was fine. I think she can handle it."
"But what if Seiya is there?" Makoto asked, "The other day Yaten-kun said that he wasn't with them so maybe he was with Usagi."
"Wouldn't that be much better?" Ami asked, "If he is with her, we don't need to worry." The rest if the girls nodded, but they were still worried.
************************************************************************
7:28 pm, Monday
"Who is this girl anyway?" Yaten wondered out loud looking at Chibi-Usa who was now awake and was sitting in a corner quietly.
"The police don't know her," Taiki said, "And she won't talk." Yaten nodded. Chibi-Usa sat there quietly. She wished she could just disappear. She looked at the two men in front of her. They were obviously talking about her, even though she couldn't hear them. She stood up and started to walk away.
"Wait!" Yaten said grabbing her arm, "Do you know where you live? Please tell us and we will take you home."
"Yes, it's much too late for you to be out there alone." Taiki agreed. Chibi-Usa looked at them and her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't cry now!" Yaten panicked then he sat down in front of her, "Look, just tell us your name and address and we will take you home. Promise." Suddenly there was scratching on the window. Taiki went over to open it and in leaped Luna.
"Luna!" Yaten got up.
"Luna?" Chibi-Usa said, speaking for the first time.
"Yaten kun! Chibi-Usa-chan!" Luna said, her eyes wide, "Chibi-Usa-chan, Haruka-san has been looking for you!"
"Haruka?" Taiki asked, "Did I hear you right?"
"Yes," Luna said, "She called Usagi's but Usagi said that you left her place, so now Haruka-san is going crazy looking for you! I came here just to say that if you see her then tell me."
"Who is she anyway?" Taiki asked.
"Long story," Luna said, "I'll tell you later."
"Well we found her about an hour ago." Yaten said, "She was being chased by someone."
"Yaten-kun, could I use you phone?" Luna asked and Yaten nodded, "Then we go back to Haruka-san." She told Chibi-Usa sternly. Chibi-Usa didn't reply so Luna called up Haruka to tell her to pick them up.
************************************************************************
7:35 pm, Monday
Seiya sat with Usagi until she quieted down.
"I am worried for Chibi-Usa," Usagi said after she talked with Haruka. For some reason she didn't tell Haruka that Seiya was with her.
"She will be fine," Seiya assured her.
"Seiya?" she started quietly.
"Hmmm?"
"I am sorry about today." She said.
"It's..." Seiya started but she cut him off.
"I want to make it up to you." She said, "I want to take you somewhere tomorrow."
"I see," Seiya absorbed the information quietly.
"If it is ok for you, I will come and pick you up tomorrow."
"You are going to come and pick me up?" Seiya asked, "You have a car?"
"Yes," Usagi smiled, "It was a birthday gift. All the girls including Haruka-san and Michiru-san put together money and got it for me. Nothing fancy, but I love it." Seiya nodded.
"If you want to, you can pick me up around 7 tomorrow, because I have a meeting and a rehearsal." He told her. She smiled.
"I have to go now," Seiya told her, "It's getting late..."
"Ok," she said, then she hugged him, "I'll see you tomorrow." Seiya was surprised at this but he slowly wrapped his arms around her too.
"Thanks for being here," she whispered.
"Anytime, Odango." He told her. At the door, before he left, Usagi reached up and kissed his cheek. When she pulled away she was blushing. Seiya touched his cheek and smiled. Then he turned around and left.
************************************************************************
8:01 pm, Monday
Chibi-Usa sat in Hotaru's room and sobbed. She hadn't said a word about what had happened yet. Hotaru sat next to her. Haruka was pacing out in the living room.
"Haruka calm down!" Michiru said, who was sitting on the couch. Haruka paid no attention. Luna, Artemis, and Diana watched from the ground.
"I can find out what had happened, if you want." Luna volunteered.
"No!" Haruka replied, "I want her to tell us herself!"
"Maybe calling the other girls will help." Artemis suggested.
"They won't help." Haruka said, "Somehow this will include the scouts. Why did Chibi-Usa come back then? And the others have given up their powers. They can't do anything now."
"If you tell them they will help." Diana said, "I know they will." Her suggestion was ignored.
************************************************************************
3:00 pm, Tuesday
The woman in Mamoru's apartment put her hand on Mamoru's forehead. His eyes opened, but they were blank, empty.
"Rise now," the woman said, "And get the young Princess."
************************************************************************
6:30 pm, Tuesday
Usagi got ready once again. She was determined to make this a happy day and she wanted no one to get in the way. Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello?" she picked it up.
"Usagi!" Minako voice chirped, "Hi! Are you free?"
"Why?" Usagi asked.
"Um, we were going out and wondered if you wanted to come along."
"I am sorry, Minako-chan," Usagi said as she rummaged through her closet, "I am, uh, going out with Seiya."
"You are?" Minako asked.
"Yes."
"Then don't let me spoil your plans," Minako said, "Go on! And have a good time!" Minako hung up. Usagi looked at the phone oddly. Minako did not sound like herself.
************************************************************************
6:35 pm, Tuesday
"Hi Rei," Minako said into the phone, "You were right. She is going out."
"I told you," Rei said.
"Well I'll tell Mako-chan as soon as she is back from her job. You can call up Ami-chan because I have to work tonight."
"Where is Ami-chan?" Rei asked.
"Working at the hospital again, and I have a night shift."
"It's a school night, Minako!"
"It's not that late," Minako said, "Don't worry!" then they hung up.
************************************************************************
7:06 pm, Tuesday
She was late but that was okay. Seiya waited patiently for her. Suddenly a nice car stopped in front of him. The window rolled down and he saw her. He walked toward the car and got in the passenger seat. (A/N: I am in no mood for describing the car since I have no knowledge of cars. Sorry!)
"So where are we going?" he asked snapping his seat belt on.
"It's a secret," she grinned.
"I see," he smiled, "I can't wait." Usagi slowly drove out and then soon enough they were on a highway.
"Are we running away?" Seiya joked.
"Hope we were," she grinned again. She seemed very happy. Seiya relaxed. He had been worried about her but she seemed fine. They drove out toward the beach but Usagi passed it.
"Ok, now I really want to know where we are going." Seiya told her.
"I found it once," Usagi told him, "It's nothing fancy but its special." Then she grinned, "Made for special people only." Seiya blushed slightly. Did she mean him? He'd never know.
They finally reached an exit. And soon enough they were on a very isolated road. Soon enough Usagi stopped in front of a little forest type place.
"Is this safe?" Seiya asked as they got out.
"I don't know," she said then she took out a duffle bag and his hand, leading him toward the forest.
"Odango?" Seiya said, "This may not be a good idea." She didn't reply. It was pretty dark and the moon was up. Soon they came to a clearing. Seiya took a deep breath and looked at where they were.
The place was beautiful. There was a little lake there, small enough to stay unnoticed, but big enough to be beautiful. The silvery moonlight cast shadows here and there. But the lake glowed with the moon. Even in the dark, you can tell that the lake's surroundings had flowers. Fireflies flew around, glowing occasionally. A sweet aroma surrounded the whole place.
While Seiya took all this in, Usagi took out a blanket and spread it on the ground. Then she put pillows and showed him the small lunch box.
"I brought food in case we get hungry," she said sitting down on the blanket.
"Isn't it too dark to eat here?" Seiya asked sitting down beside her, too close.
"I can fix that too." She reached into the bad and took out several candles and candleholders. She put them all around them, careful to put them away from the blanket, then she lit them one by one. Seiya watched with amusement. She had planned all this for them.
"Odango, this is...so beautiful." He breathed softly, as if trying not to disturb the quite of the place.
"It's for you," she whispered and leaned in close, "Seiya, I want to tell you something."
"Yes?"
"I can't promise you anything. I can't promise you that I can be yours forever," she said and took a deep breath, "But for now, there is no one lese I'd rather be with." Seiya stared at her round eyes. She was so close to him that he could feel her warm breath on his face.
"That's good enough for me," he told her and leaned in even closer. Their lips touched in a heavenly moment and he put his arm around her, deepening the kiss and pulling her close, vowing to never let her go.
************************************************************************
7:20 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa had sneaked out of Hotaru's place. She wanted to go see Mamoru and she wanted to go alone. Diana came after her.
"Small lady, please it is not safe to go." She begged her to stay.
"You can come with me Diana," Chibi-Usa said, "It will be fine then. Please. I really want to go and see Mamo-chan." Diana sighed. She hated to do this but if she went with Chibi-Usa there would be no harm. She nodded yes, thinking that if they're in trouble she can always call the others.
"Let's go before we get caught!" Chibi-Usa said and they started to run toward Mamoru's place. On the way they passed a park. A man was in the park. He looked familiar to Chibi-Usa.
"Mamo-chan!" Chibi-Usa said, running toward him.
************************************************************************
7:24 pm, Tuesday
Usagi sat in Seiya arms.
"I haven't felt this happy in ages," she told him.
"Likewise," he kissed the top of her head, "I love you so much Odango. I guess my love wasn't pointless after all."
"I am the lucky one," she whispered, "To have you, who loved me even though you couldn't have me. I hurt you so much."
# Flashback #
"I want you Mamo-chan," Usagi fell on the ground. It was raining. "I am not strong enough without you." Seiya stared at her. He sat down in front of her and made her look up at him.
"Am I not good enough?" he asked, the pain showing in his eyes. Usagi's eyes went wide.
"Am I not good enough?" he asked again.
# End of Flashback #
"You didn't hurt me," he pulled her closer, "Besides it is all paying off now." She turned around and faced him. He was leaning back against the pillows. She leaned down on him and kissed him. Seiya kissed her back; feeling like the happiest man on earth, no make that the whole universe...
Music started out of nowhere. Usagi pulled away.
"What is that?" he asked.
"My cell phone." She reached into the bag and took it out. She opened it.
"Hello?" she said.
"Neko-chan," Haruka's voice rang out, "Chibi-Usa is missing! Is she with you?"
"No," Usagi told her. Chibi-Usa had once again ruined her night.
"Please come back," Haruka said, "Last night Yaten and Taiki had found her. I know we didn't tell you this, but a man was chasing her. We think she might be in trouble."
"I will come," Usagi sighed, "You should have told me earlier."
"Where are you anyway?" Haruka asked. Usagi looked at Seiya.
"I am with Seiya." She said. The silence on the other line was unbearable.
"I am coming," Usagi said, "Be there in 20 minutes." The she hung up.
"Who?" Seiya asked.
"It was Haruka-san," Usagi said, "Chibi-Usa has gone missing. I hope you understand Seiya. While she is here, she is my responsibility." Seiya nodded quietly and they packed up to go.
************************************************************************
7:35 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa sat on a bench with Mamoru. Diana sat at their foot. Diana did not know Mamoru that well, but somehow she felt that there was something wrong with him. She just couldn't put her finger (A/N: Or should I say paw?) on it. There was something odd though, Mamoru kept telling Chibi-Usa to come with him. Chibi-Usa kept insisting that they should stay here for a while. Chibi-Usa was hugging him but he made no effort to comfort her. Diana sat tensed up. She was scared.
************************************************************************
7:36 pm, Tuesday
Seiya and Usagi drove back into town.
"We should look for her." Usagi said.
"Where do you think she might be?" Seiya asked.
"The park, probably, near Mamoru's place. It was always our special place." They drove toward the park and when they stopped Usagi and Seiya got out and ran outside to look for Chibi-Usa.
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi yelled.
************************************************************************
7:38 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa heard her name being called and she looked up to see Usagi running toward her.
"Usagi?" Chibi-Usa said, "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you!" Usagi exclaimed. Seiya came running behind her. They both stared at Mamoru who was staring back at them.
"Mamo-chan?" Chibi-Usa started, "Please tell her that you still love her. Please tell her to come back to you."
"Let's go," he took Chibi-Usa's hand. Diana suddenly got up and ran away.
"Please tell her, Mamo-chan?" Chibi-Usa pleaded. Mamoru looked at her coldly.
"I hate her," he said, "I hate her and I never loved her. She's a piece of trash. Let's go!"
"No!" Chibi-Usa said, her face shocked. Usagi stood with her hand over her mouth. Seiya looked very angry.
"I am not going with you if you are going to act all nasty!" Chibi-Usa yelled, trying to pull away, "Let me go! You are hurting me!"
"Let her go, Mamoru." Usagi said going closer and taking Chibi-Usa other hand.
"Get away, you bitch!" Mamoru yelled, raising his hand to hit her. Usagi gasped but Seiya came and grabbed his arm. They stared at each other.
"You touch her and you will die," Seiya said coldly, "Let the little girl go." Mamoru just stared at him.
"What's going on?" came a familiar voice. Usagi turned around to see Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Artemis, Luna, and Diana running toward them. When Haruka saw what was going on, she gasped.
"Let Chibi-Usa go!" she told Mamoru, realizing that he was about to hit Usagi. Mamoru let her. A voice rang in his head.
"Come back Mamoru," came the voice, "You are too weak to take all of them on." (A/N: Why does this dialogue sound so familiar?)
Mamoru turned around and started to walk away. Chibi-Usa started to cry. Hotaru came forward and took Chibi-Usa's hand.
"We should have checked here earlier," Artemis said.
"Or someone should have told us earlier," Luna said as she stared at Diana. Diana averted her eyes. Hotaru pulled Chibi-Usa toward Haruka and Michiru. Usagi and Seiya watched them. Usagi leaned in close to Seiya and he put his arm around her. Usagi's eyes pleaded Haruka and Michiru to accept, but Haruka turned away first, and then Michiru.
"Let's go, Chibi-Usa, Hotaru." Haruka said. They started to walk away. Everyone but Luna stayed behind.
"Luna," Usagi started, "next time, do tell me what is going on."
"Luna!" Artemis called and Luna ran toward them. Usagi hugged Seiya, but she didn't cry.
"I hope one day they accept this," she whispered to him, "You are important and so are they. Hopefully they will accept." Seiya kissed the top of her head, but didn't say anything.
************************************************************************
7:46 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa was sobbing in the car.
"I accused her of lying!" she cried. Hotaru sat next to her.
"I shouldn't have done it," Chibi-Usa said, "Now she hates me, everyone hates me! I just want to go back home!" Haruka looked at her through the rearview mirror but didn't say anything. She still didn't understand how Seiya fit into the picture. And she was not ready to make him try to fit just yet.
************************************************************************
Yumeko: I wrote half of this last night and now I am finishing this before school. Ah the sacrifices I have to make.

Minako, Ami and Makoto were all together at Rei's shrine. Luna and Artemis weren't there however.
"Think we should go over and see how is everything?" Minako asked the girls.
"I don't know." Rei said, "I saw Usagi the other day. She was here the whole day and she was fine. I think she can handle it."

"Yes, it's much too late for you to be out there alone." Taiki agreed. Chibi-Usa looked at them and her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't cry now!" Yaten panicked then he sat down in front of her, "Look, just tell us your name and address and we will take you home. Promise." Suddenly there was scratching on the window. Taiki went over to open it and in leaped Luna.
"Luna!" Yaten got up.
"Luna?" Chibi-Usa said, speaking for the first time.
"Yaten kun! Chibi-Usa-chan!" Luna said, her eyes wide, "Chibi-Usa-chan, Haruka-san has been looking for you!"

"You didn't hurt me," he pulled her closer, "Besides it is all paying off now." She turned around and faced him. He was leaning back against the pillows. She leaned down on him and kissed him. Seiya kissed her back; feeling like the happiest man on earth, no make that the whole universe...
Music started out of nowhere. Usagi pulled away.
"What is that?" he asked.
"My cell phone." She reached into the bag and took it out. She opened it.
"Hello?" she said.
"Neko-chan," Haruka's voice rang out, "Chibi-Usa is missing! Is she with you?"
"No," Usagi told her. Chibi-Usa had once again ruined her night.
"Please come back," Haruka said, "Last night Yaten and Taiki had found her. I know we didn't tell you this, but a man was chasing her. We think she might be in trouble."
"I will come," Usagi sighed, "You should have told me earlier."
"Where are you anyway?" Haruka asked. Usagi looked at Seiya.
"I am with Seiya." She said. The silence on the other line was unbearable.
"I am coming," Usagi said, "Be there in 20 minutes." The she hung up.
"Who?" Seiya asked.
"It was Haruka-san," Usagi said, "Chibi-Usa has gone missing. I hope you understand Seiya. While she is here, she is my responsibility." Seiya nodded quietly and they packed up to go.

7:35 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa sat on a bench with Mamoru. Diana sat at their foot. Diana did not know Mamoru that well, but somehow she felt that there was something wrong with him. She just couldn't put her finger (A/N: Or should I say paw?) on it. There was something odd though, Mamoru kept telling Chibi-Usa to come with him. Chibi-Usa kept insisting that they should stay here for a while. Chibi-Usa was hugging him but he made no effort to comfort her. Diana sat tensed up. She was scared.
************************************************************************
7:36 pm, Tuesday
Seiya and Usagi drove back into town.
"We should look for her." Usagi said.
"Where do you think she might be?" Seiya asked.
"The park, probably, near Mamoru's place. It was always our special place." They drove toward the park and when they stopped Usagi and Seiya got out and ran outside to look for Chibi-Usa.
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi yelled.
************************************************************************
7:38 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa heard her name being called and she looked up to see Usagi running toward her.
"Usagi?" Chibi-Usa said, "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you!" Usagi exclaimed. Seiya came running behind her. They both stared at Mamoru who was staring back at them.
"Mamo-chan?" Chibi-Usa started, "Please tell her that you still love her. Please tell her to come back to you."
"Let's go," he took Chibi-Usa's hand. Diana suddenly got up and ran away.
"Please tell her, Mamo-chan?" Chibi-Usa pleaded. Mamoru looked at her coldly.
"I hate her," he said, "I hate her and I never loved her. She's a piece of trash. Let's go!"
"No!" Chibi-Usa said, her face shocked. Usagi stood with her hand over her mouth. Seiya looked very angry.
"I am not going with you if you are going to act all nasty!" Chibi-Usa yelled, trying to pull away, "Let me go! You are hurting me!"
"Let her go, Mamoru." Usagi said going closer and taking Chibi-Usa other hand.
"Get away, you bitch!" Mamoru yelled, raising his hand to hit her. Usagi gasped but Seiya came and grabbed his arm. They stared at each other.
"You touch her and you will die," Seiya said coldly, "Let the little girl go." Mamoru just stared at him.
"What's going on?" came a familiar voice. Usagi turned around to see Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Artemis, Luna, and Diana running toward them. When Haruka saw what was going on, she gasped.
"Let Chibi-Usa go!" she told Mamoru, realizing that he was about to hit Usagi. Mamoru let her. A voice rang in his head.
"Come back Mamoru," came the voice, "You are too weak to take all of them on." (A/N: Why does this dialogue sound so familiar?)
Mamoru turned around and started to walk away. Chibi-Usa started to cry. Hotaru came forward and took Chibi-Usa's hand.
"We should have checked here earlier," Artemis said.
"Or someone should have told us earlier," Luna said as she stared at Diana. Diana averted her eyes. Hotaru pulled Chibi-Usa toward Haruka and Michiru. Usagi and Seiya watched them. Usagi leaned in close to Seiya and he put his arm around her. Usagi's eyes pleaded Haruka and Michiru to accept, but Haruka turned away first, and then Michiru.
"Let's go, Chibi-Usa, Hotaru." Haruka said. They started to walk away. Everyone but Luna stayed behind.
"Luna," Usagi started, "next time, do tell me what is going on."
"Luna!" Artemis called and Luna ran toward them. Usagi hugged Seiya, but she didn't cry.
"I hope one day they accept this," she whispered to him, "You are important and so are they. Hopefully they will accept." Seiya kissed the top of her head, but didn't say anything.
************************************************************************
7:46 pm, Tuesday
Chibi-Usa was sobbing in the car.
"I accused her of lying!" she cried. Hotaru sat next to her.
"I shouldn't have done it," Chibi-Usa said, "Now she hates me, everyone hates me! I just want to go back home!" Haruka looked at her through the rearview mirror but didn't say anything. She still didn't understand how Seiya fit into the picture. And she was not ready to make him try to fit just yet.
