Farewell
It was Seiya's last night on Earth. Tomorrow, along with his princess and Yaten and Taiki, he would leave to return his planet. He would miss everyone on but most of all, he wouldn't see her again.
Usagi and Minako had arranged a huge farewell party for them but it was at Princess Kakyu's order that he went. He had hoped that he wouldn't have to see her again, face that the fact that he was leaving behind what was perhaps the love of his life.
That evening, he stayed around Usagi and the inner senshi, hiding behind them. If Usagi and Raye's loud, annoying fighting did anything, it kept people away so he was able to hide around them. But when he dared to look around, she had vanished.
Haruka was not surprised that Seiya stayed around Usagi all evening. He was always with her, even if Mamoru was there. But what else she had expected- Seiya had always loved Usagi, she thought to herself, wandering out to a deserted balcony that overlooked the city which seemed to sparkle underneath the stars. For some reason, seeing Seiya practically hanging on Usagi tonight bothered her.
He couldn't stand it anymore. He was going to go deaf if he was around them much longer- he had to get away, quickly. Yaten, Taiki, and Princess Kakyu were talking to Michiru, Hotaru, and Setsuna and the lunar cats were trying to get Usagi and Raye to stop fighting, leaving him alone. He sighed to himself, thinking he might as well say goodbye, going in search of her.
Haruka froze, hearing footsteps approach. She ducked behind a large bush, then wondered why she was hiding. Here she was, the sailor senshi of Uranus and the holder of the Space Sword, hiding from Seiya Kou of all people. She cursed to herself, thinking that despite everything, she could really be stupid sometimes.
Seiya frowned to himself. He hadn't be able to find her even though he had almost searched the entire temple grounds. But then again, he really hadn't expected to find her- if she didn't want to see him, she could easily avoid him.
He finally left and Haruka got up, brushing leaves from her jacket. Usagi's traits must be rubbing off on her, she thought to herself.
She went back to the railing, looking out over the city, the wind playing with her short hair.
"Haruka," a voice behind her startled her and she turned to see Seiya standing there. Not only did she hid from him, he was able to come up behind her unnoticed. She must having a bad day, she told herself.
"No Odango? I thought the two of you were permanently attached," she said coldly.
"We're not! Look, I didn't come here to fight with you," he said, starting to get frustrated.
"Why are you here?" Haruka asked him, turning her back to him.
"I just wanted to talk to you. That's it," he said, going to lean against the railing next to her.
"About what?" she glanced at him, eyes narrowed.
"Since the day I met you, I've never been able to break down the barriers you put up to shut out the world, no matter what I did. By looking interested in Usagi, I hoped to see you jealous. A bad plan, I know," he admitted. There was a heavy silence between them.
"Go away. Go back to your planet, to your life and leave me alone!" she glared at him, angry. Her nails dug into the wood railing.
"I will and you'll never have to see me ever again," he promised then suddenly, put his arm around her and drawing her next to him, kissed her.
She didn't have time to react. She couldn't move, couldn't think. Even if his arm didn't hold her next to him, she didn't know if she would be able to move.
After a moment, his lips left hers. "Goodbye, Haruka,' he said softly, looking into her eyes. He took his arm away from her and left, leaving her dazed and confused.
The next day he left Earth with his Princess, Taiki, and Yaten. As they left the planet behind, a tear trailed down from his eye. He would miss her.
Haruka sat with Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna looking up at the night sky.
"Look, shooting stars!" Hotaru said excitedly, pointing up.
"They are finally returning home," Michiru said with a smile and Setsuna nodded in agreement. Haruka looked up at the sky, quickly wiping her eye before the others noticed.
