Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters therein. So, please don't sue me because I'm poor.
Thanks to everyone who took the time out to read my story so far, and I hope that it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping to get this story finished today, and so far I've managed two chapters last night and one today; hopefully I should finish this story today … that should give you an indication of how fast I'm throwing this story together just to get it finished, lol. Anyway, thanks so much for all the reviews; I appreciate every single one of them!
Chapter Seven: Tell Me You Love Me
Fighter watched Usagi as she scanned the area for Seiya. "Is he special to you?"
"Well … yes, he is. Do you know if he's okay?" Her eyes pleaded for the new senshi to tell her something about where the handsome young man could be.
"There's something I need to tell you … alone." Fighter nodded in the direction of Mamoru.
Taking the hint, Minako jumped in and managed to drag Chiba-san outside, much to his dismay. He could be heard growling the entire way out, and kept looking over his shoulder at Usagi every few metres.
Once alone, the young blonde sighed and braced herself for bad news. "Okay, tell me."
Instead of saying anything, the three women looked at each other and nodded, as if agreeing to something. Detransforming, with dazzling lights and colours, the Three Lights now stood where the Sailor Starlights had been.
Seiya took Usagi's hand. "Usagi, we're the Sailor Starlights. We have searched far and wide for our princess, and we think we have finally found her. It is you, isn't it … Princess Kakyuu?"
Usagi shook her head regretfully. "I'm sorry Seiya, but I'm not the princess you're after; although I do have a secret similar to yours. I am Princess Serenity, also known as Sailor Moon … or Imperial Sailor Star; seeing as we're all friends here, I think I can trust you. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find Kakyuu; I'm looking for someone too … my prince."
Yaten looked completely shattered that she wasn't their princess, but Seiya smiled warmly. "Don't be sorry Odango … You've been my princess all along, since the moment we first met. I love you Usagi." Pulling her close, Seiya gave the young blonde a passionate kiss.
As they parted, Usagi raised her hands to her lips and sighed. I … I have to go, I need time to think; I need to BREATHE. Letting out a gasp, she saw Seiya looking at her with concern in his eyes. Taking a step back, Usa-chan blurted out that she really had to be home before it got too late and turned to dash off into the night quite flustered.
Yaten smirked and pat Seiya on the back. "Way to go lover boy. Don't worry, you can tell she's head over heels for you; just give her time to adjust … we can talk to her when she's not blushing so much." Laughing, Yaten retreated as Seiya slapped him.
"Yeah, I know."
Instead of going home, Usagi headed to the park for comfort; she loved the roses, they seemed to make all her troubles go away. Picking a rose, she played with it absent-mindedly as she stood overlooking the lake. Sighing, she let her head fall into her hands causing the rose to fall to the ground. A small sob escaped her lips as she thought about her destiny, and her love, her Seiya. Mamoru had followed Usagi when she ran from the concert, and stepped out of the shadows quietly.
He carefully picked the rose off the ground, and pulled the distressed Usagi into an embrace. Startled, Usagi looked up to see Mamoru's concerned brilliant blue eyes staring down at her. Confused, she accepted the comfort and company; leaving Mamoru feeling excited.
He cupped Usagi's face in his hands. "Usagi, I … I know you hate me but … I love you, Usagi." He gently kissed her, and not waiting for a reply, he dashed off to leave Usagi to think.
Sobbing uncontrollably, poor Usagi was so confused. Since when did Mamoru Chiba like her? How had this come to happen? Usagi flopped into a heap on the ground and leant her head against the bars of the railing and sighed sadly.
"What am I going to do?"
