Well, this story has had more reviews than I thought it would lol! Thanks to everyone for reading this story, and leaving awesome comments. Don't forget that I don't own Sailor Moon, so please don't sue me okay? I'm poor guys, really poor.

Chapter Eight: Destiny, or Something New?

After what she heard at the concert a few nights ago, Chibiusa couldn't understand why Usagi hadn't told her that she was Sailor Moon. She had snuck out that night when she had heard that Usagi was going out, but she didn't expect to find Sailor Moon AND her future mother as the same person. What exactly did her mother want her to help Sailor Moon with? Chibiusa sighed and pulled the covers over her head and rolled over, it was too early for such serious thinking.

Another early morning and Usagi was already out of bed, discussing her future with Haruka and Setsuna. Sipping on her milkshake, Usagi rolled her eyes as Haruka-chan crossed her arms and frowned.

"Destiny Usagi … not some guy you just met. The prince you need to find loved you more than life itself, how could you just throw that away?"

Usagi pouted. "Ruka-chan! I don't even know this prince guy, and besides, Seiya loves me. How would you like to be told that you don't have a choice about your future, and that you just have to do as destiny says?"

Sipping at her coffee, Setsuna sighed. "My oh my you are stubborn aren't you Usagi?"

"Well, what's your opinion Setsuna?" Haruka nudged the older woman.

"I have absolutely no comment on this. Our princess must find her future for herself, and I don't intend to interfere."

"But …"

Cutting Haruka off, Setsuna stated again. "No comment Haruka."

Usagi grinned and took a glance at her watch. "Oh guys, I really have to go okay? I promised I'd meet some friends, see you later!" Dashing from the arcade, she turned to wave as she exited the door.

Seeing her leave, Mamoru seemed disappointed that she didn't come and talk to him. She DID seem in a hurry though. Maybe I can talk to her tonight … she looks so much like the woman in my dreams. Serenity. I hope that, well, I hope she returns my affection… She's changed so much in the past few weeks…

As Usagi entered the Sky Temple dojo in the afternoon, her senshi friends were just getting seated at the arcade. Ordering their food, the girls looked around expecting to see Usagi tumbling in at any moment. Though after a while, they began chatting and eating.

Mina looked at Ami. "I didn't see Usagi at all at school today, did you Ami?"

"No, actually I was going to ask you about that; seeing how close you are."

The brunette senshi fiddled with her straw. "Well, Ms Haruna said that Usagi was sick … so, I guess she must have had a good reason to take the day off."

Rei rolled her eyes sarcastically. "You mean she probably forgot to get out of bed."

Glaring at Rei, Mina frowned. "Get over yourself! Usagi hasn't been late for school AT ALL in the past few weeks, how can you still be so rude?"

Motoki and Mamoru watched the girls from the counter and noticed that Usagi wasn't anywhere to be seen. Frowning, Mamoru seemed slightly worried where the dainty angel could be. Seeing his expression, Motoki smirked and poked Mamoru.

"You looking for someone Chiba?"

Mamoru spun around. "No. Not at all. What makes you think that?"

"You like Usagi don't you? You haven't been able to stop staring at her all darn week man! It's so obvious."

Chiba-san sipped his coffee and ignored Motoki, pretending as though he didn't hear him. Motoki smiled as he noticed Mamoru's cheeks flush a light red colour, and he knew he was right about Usagi.

Later that evening, Usagi waved goodbye to her Martial Arts group and headed home through the park. She was invigorated from the workout at the dojo, but she still seemed to have a heavy heart. Walking slowly and taking her time, Usagi noticed a small black spot running towards her and grinned.

"Usagi! Where have you been? The girls missed you at the arcade."

"I had other arrangements Luna."

Tsukino-san sighed deeply as she walked home with her black cat by her side. Sensing there was something the matter, Luna tried to talk to Usagi about it; but the blonde didn't want to discuss the problem. Once they reached the house, Usagi asked Luna if she didn't mind sleeping in the lounge room or to sleep at Mina's; Luna nodded and understood that Usagi needed time to herself, and so she left for Mina's house to discuss some things with Artemis.

From a tree outside Usagi's bedroom window, Tuxedo Mask watched the young girl that he had followed home. As soon as he had heard the cat speak, he knew that Usagi was Sailor Moon … but how could he have missed it? The feeling this girl gave him made him wonder about their connection to each other. His concentration was suddenly interrupted when one of the scantily clad senshi from the concert landed on Usagi's roof. Scowling, Mamoru was about to yell at the intruder when she de-transformed into Seiya Kou! Stunned, Chiba-san just watched from a distance. As Usagi was lying in bed, thinking of the two men who had proclaimed their love for her, Seiya snuck in the window and quietly sat on the edge of her bed.

Usagi smiled. "Seiya…"

Caressing her face, Seiya lent in close and gave Usagi another passionate kiss. "I love you with all my heart Usagi…"

Mamoru's face became painful and sad as he witnessed what was happening. He clenched his fists angrily and began to fume, how dare this BOY touch HIS Usagi! More than anything, he loved this girl, and he wasn't about to let some other guy come and take her away.
