Here is chapter two. Again, if things don't seem to be going along with the normal flow of things, it's because I'm making it up as I go along, seeing as how I've never actually seen the show with the Stars in it. Ah, the wonders of my imagination. ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor moon. Sorry to disappoint all of you folks.

Chapter Two: My lady

Rain was pouring down the window panes outside of Fighter's room, where she sat listlessly, watching the rivulets chase themselves down the glass to the window sill. The land outside the palace walls was lush and green with the rain which came every spring around this time and lasted on and off for a month.

During this time there was nothing for the senshi who lived in the palace to do but train in the ball room and pass their time idly in their own rooms.

Healer and Maker were in the ball room training, but Fighter had excused herself after breakfast to the solitude of her own quarters.

She sat on her window seat, her heart aching within her chest. It had been so long since she had said good bye to the girl with clear blue eyes that sparkled with life and long golden hair. The pain of the separation was agony, for every moment she felt as if a part of her soul was slowly dying.

Usagi was on Earth, probably engaged to Mamoru by now and would soon be the Queen of Crystal Tokyo, and then she would be forever untouchable.

Fighter swallowed thickly and reached for the small golden locket instinctively. The clasp popped open with the slightest flick of her finger and inside was a picture of a hauntingly beautiful young woman, who was looking longingly at the camera. Her eyes are a deep shade of blue and seem to radiate an inexpressible pain and desperation, and her lips are parted slightly as if she would speak and tell the longings of her soul. Music wafts from the locket, a light, heart breakingly beautiful melody which reflects the young woman's sorrow as if in a mirror.

Fighter runs her finger over the woman's face gently, her indigo eyes filled with a similar longing. "Oh, my lady…" She whispered, her voice rough with tears.

There was a discreet cough from the door and Fighter quickly snapped the locket shut, her face flushing with color when she saw Kakyuu standing at the entrance to the room, her face filled with a sad understanding.

"Fighter, may I come in?"

Fighter shoved the locket back around her neck and nodded. "Of course, Highness."

Kakyuu sat down gracefully on the cushioned window seat beside her favorite senshi. "Fighter, lately I have sensed a great sadness in the deepest depths of you. I know it has something to do with your past and although you know if I wished it I could very well find out with or without your consent; I will not invade the privacy of your pain. You no longer seem content to be here with me." When Fighter began to protest, Kakyuu held up her hand, and shook her head slightly. "I know this to be true because I sense this restlessness not only in you but in Maker and Healer. Your sadness brings me sorrow for I have no wish to keep you from something that would make you complete. I'm asking you now to leave and find the thing that would bring you happiness."

Fighter stared in dull amazement at her Princess. "But who would stay here to protect you?"

Kakyuu waved her hand dismissively. "I have other senshi in training and you know well that I can hire more guards to take your places." She touched the locket that hung against Fighter's chest with a finger before taking Fighter's hand in her own. "I would not have you stay here unless you could stay without all of this pain. And we both know that the day will never come, for you have left a bit of your soul within the hands of someone else." She stood up, and opened the door, then glanced back at Fighter who was still in shock. "I will not keep you here any longer, Fighter. Please go."

With that, Kakyuu left to tell the others and Fighter was left to sit in her room soaking in the amazement.

She grinned and jumped up, her hand fastened tight around her locket. "My love, I'm coming back to you." She whispered, and went to find her two friends so they could depart for Earth.

So…? What do you think? I'm actually kind of excited, even if I don't know where this is going. Please review and let me know how you think I'm doing. Have a wonderful day!
