So lets see...Mamoru is dead... Umm...I don't know who will show up next..We'll see.

Thanks for the reviews.

Makenai-Chapter 3: Nightmares

"Mamo-chan.." Usagi cried herself to sleep. Had nightmares and woke up a hour later crying again. "You leave me alone once more..more helpless than I was before.." She had herself in a little ball on the bed. Her eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks tear stained.

"Usagi.." Usagi heard Kakyuu's knock on the door but she didn't answer her.

"Odango.." She heard Seiya's. The door knob twisted and only Seiya walked in. He closed the door behind him and sat next to her feet on the bed.

"Why? Why did someone take him away again.." Usagi eyes were closed but that didn't stop the tears from pouring off her face.

"Odango.." Seiya wanted to touch her but he didn't think it was right.

"Stop..Please tell me what you needed to tell me.." Seiya's words were caught in his throat. Time to tell.

"When we arrived on Earth.."

The starlights arrived in what looked like to be New York City. They had been here before. The tall buildings and streets full of cars and people. America. So many thoughts of seeing Mamoru and Usagi that last time flowed through Seiya's mind. The pain of a one sided love.

"So you have returned." The lights and Kakyuu turned around and saw Mamoru.

"Yes.." Kakyuu was the first to say something.

"Why?"

"I think it is to be discussed with the senshi of Earth, so therefore it is none of your business!" Yaten was tired and moody at the time.

"FYI, I am one of the senshi..I am Tuxedo Kamen."

"Why the hell are you here? Why aren't you there with O..Usagi?" Seiya had an idea of what Mamoru was here for.

"The question is why are you here." Mamoru was obviously getting on Seiya's bad side.

"To catch a flight..Now if we don't hurry we won't get there in time. " Taiki's quick thinking saved Mamoru from the verbal bashing he was about to get from Seiya and Yaten. The Lights and Kakyuu began to walk towards the airport but Seiya turned back. He seen Mamoru hugging a girl with silver hair that stopped to the middle of her back, like he held Usagi that day when Seiya had first come to Earth. Anger took over Seiya's body and he stopped thinking and did the first thing that came to his mind.

"Mamoru!" Mamoru was instantly frozen in one spot. "Who is that?"

"I'm his future wife!" The girl clung tightly to Mamoru. Seiya's anger began to rise to a new level.

"What about Usagi?"

"Who is Usagi?" The girl looked up to Mamoru in question. Mamoru couldn't tell her anything. "It doesn't matter anyway.." The girl pushed Mamoru away and she pointed at Mamoru with a bright light forming in her hand. Seiya's anger quickly turned into shock.

"Mamoru move!" Mamoru tried to run but vines sprang out of the Earth around his feet. Yaten and Taiki were already transformed.

"Star Sensitive Inferno!"

The attack broke the vines and Mamoru tried to get up but the light from the silver haired lady had already sent the light towards Mamoru but Mamoru moved and was no where in sight.

"Did he run?" Seiya looked around but Mamoru came out of no where in a tuxedo with a hat on his head. Seiya was confused. Mamoru tackled the silver haired lady to the ground but she sent a blue blast to his stomach. Mamoru held his stomach in pain.

"Star Gentle Uterus!" The blast past right by Seiya to the silver haired lady. It got her in the arm but didn't have much of a effect.

The white ball came from her finger again and since she was so close it got to him. Mamoru screamed and a diamond floated over his head. The diamond remained turned into a light blue with some white in it.

"Beautiful..Already I have one." The lady turned to the two Starlights. "I'm sure I will see you again. Just so you know..My name is Silver. I'm sure we have already met though, you two are so familiar." Silver and the diamond that was above Mamoru's head disappeared.

"Seiya..Tell Usagi..I'm sorry.." Mamoru disappeared in a flash of light and Seiya stared at the place where Mamoru disappeared.

"So you see Odango...We came..Not to have fun..But in hopes that you could help us with this new enemy, Silver. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.." Usagi had stopped crying and was silent the whole time.

"I don't believe you.." Seiya was shocked to hear this coming from Usagi.

"What? You seen the enemy yourself."

"Mamo-chan would never do that to me! He wouldn't have been with another girl besides me! He loves me! He said so himself!" Seiya never thought that her anger would be towards him. "Mamo-chan is dead..."

"We don't know that for sure, Odango. We don't know what happens after their crystal is taken.." Seiya tried to assure her.

"That doesn't stop it from hurting.." Usagi had her arms wrapped arond herself. "Plus..You seen how he looked earlier.. He was covered in blood and wasn't breathing.." Usagi's voice was filled with tears. Seiya decided to lay next to her and hold her. So many memories came back to Seiya. They flashed by in a instant through his head. When he kissed her on the cheek, when he asks "am I not good enough?", when they left Earth, the kiss in the hospital...Did that mean nothing to her? Was it just a momentary thing? All these questions about that one moment flooded Seiya's mind. He wished that he didn't feel this way. It was too painful..He could've been dead because of these emotions that he felt for her. Why can't he just get over her? Why can't he find someone else.. Someone that he could actually have.

"Why?" Seiya hadn't realized that he had said it outloud. "Why do you continue to cry over him?" Seiya sounded angry and it kind of frightened Usagi. She moved from his hold and sat up.

"What do you mean?" Usagi knew what he said and what he meant, she was thinking that maybe she didn't hear him clearly.

"Why? Don't I mean anything to you?" His voice had went down to a softer tone.

"Yes. You are my closest friend. You and the others mean more to me than anything in the world." There it was again. The "F" word.

"Just a friend, Odango? You don't see me as anything else?"

"You are my closest friend Seiya. I would trust you with all of my secrets."

"Odango.." He reached out and touched her cheek gently. Usagi felt like she wanted to touch him but she didn't. She thought it wasn't right. "Am I not good enough?" Usagi was once again..astonished. She remembered the rainy day when she was crying for Mamoru.

"Seiya I..." Thats all she could say. He removed his hands from her cheek. She longed to feel his tender touch and the warmth it brought to her. It wasn't right.

Seiya saw that he wasn't going to get anything out of her. It was obvious, why does he keep ignoring it? She loves Mamoru and that will never change. It's her "destiny". I guess the saying "Destiny itsn't set in stone" would never come into play when it came to Usagi and Mamoru. She was going to hold on tight to that..Maybe because of the little girl. Seiya couldn't look at Usagi anymore, his heart would shatter into more pieces if he did. Seiya got up and walked out the door. Usagi reached out for him but he didn't see. She touched her cheek with her hand and placed her hand on where her heart should be. She was torn between destiny and her feelings for Seiya.

"Usagi..I'll talk to you later." Seiya walked out and shut the door behind him. Usagi was still crying but her mind wandered to Seiya's words. Wait..He called her "Usagi" not "Odango".

'Isn't that what you wanted? You said it yourself that "Mamo-chan" could call you,Odango.." Usagi hated when she had mixed emotions. The back of her mind always came to the front when she was deep in thought because of her emotions. 'But..You got used to Seiya being around you..'

'Usagi stop thinking these things! Mamo-chan loved..' Usagi stopped her thought. Loved..

'You thought it yourself..loved you. What Seiya said about that evil lady in disguise being involved with 'Mamo-chan...' Usagi shook her head trying to rid herself of these thoughts.

'Never! I don't want to believe such things about him!' Usagi fought back the tears in case anyone was to come into the room.

'Don't be so foolish!' Usagi closed her eyes and covered her ears. The tears were threatning to spill. Her inner voice didn't come back to haunt her. She sat up and wiped her eyes of the moisture.

"Usagi!" Yaten walked in without knocking. Usagi was glad that she had just straightened herself up. She turned her attention to the silver haired man. "I think you'll like to hear something.." Yaten walked back out and waited for Usagi to come out of her room. She followed Yaten to Kakyuu's room where Kakyuu and Taiki were listening to a piece being played by Seiya. Usagi looked at Kakyuu who had tears coming from her eyes but she was smiling. Taiki listened with his eyes closed. Usagi glanced over to Seiya who played the beautiful music on the piano. He seemed like he poured his heart and soul into the melody that he played. Seiya glanced up for a quick second and seen Usagi standing there watching him. He immediatly stopped.

"Usagi." He was suprised that she was there. He didn't think she could hear him playing, he also thought that it was Taiki and Kakyuu in the room.

"Seiya please.." She walked over and sat next to him. "Don't stop. It was beautiful."

"Usagi.." For some reason he couldn't say anything else. It's like he cut himself everytime he called her by her real name. Like he barely even knew her.

"Why?" Usagi asked.

"What?" Seiya wasn't sure of what she was asking.

"Why did you stop calling me 'Odango'?" Usagi stared into his eyes trying to see what he was feeling. She seen masked emotions that she could not un-mask.

"I.." Seiya couldn't say "It's because I feel that calling you by a nickname will eventually kill me because I call you 'Odango' becuase I love you!" He didn't really say it but he felt he should've. "I thought you didn't want to be called that, since you are older.." That was the best excuse he could come up with. It probably wasn't a good one but she bought it.

"Nonsense. Seiya it's a weird feeling not hearing you call me 'Odango' again." Sometimes Usagi shocked herself as much as she shocked others. Seiya just smiled at her and placed his hands back on the piano keys.

"Okay Odango. Whatever you want." He resumed his playing. Usagi placed her head on his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his waist. Seiya jumped slightly at the feel of her touch. She felt warm. He felt like he was melting every second. Seiya stopped playing two minutes later and noticed Usagi was sleeping very peacefully. As much as he hated to, he pulled Usagi's arms from around him and picked her up.

"Seiya..." Seiya was shocked that she called his name instead of Mamoru's. He got her back to her room and put her in her bed. He put her under the covers and decided that it would be harmless to lay there with her for a couple of minutes. He made himself comfortable while looking at her sleep peacefully, like the new evil was not happenning. His hand touched her face gingerly.
Little did he know what was going inside of her head...

Eternal Sailor Moon watched in horror as her senshi were killed.There were the outer senshi who had formed a square around the circle of inner senshi. Inside the inner senshi were the starlights who formed a triangle with Sailor Moon and Princess Kakyuu inside. As Pluto fell to the ground trying to catch her breath she disappeared in a instant. Her greenish crystal had disappeared with her. Silver had taken it from her. The inner senshi helped the remaining three outer senshi try to battle the multiple Silver's. All of them had sent various silver blast's towards the senshi.
"Silent Wall!" Saturn yelled out and a barrier protected all of the senshi. Saturn was getting weaker and had to stop the barrier.

"Deep Submerge!"

"Space Sword Blaster!" Neptune and Uranus' attacks hit the SIlver's head on and they disappeared. Leaving one remaining. Silver didn't say anything.

"Fire Soul!" Mars attacked and Silver disappeared. The senshi looked around wondering where she had went. There was a bright light and the screams of the remaining outer senshi were heard.

"Uranus! Neptune! Saturn!" Moon screamed but she didn't get any response from the senshi. The Starlights backed a little closer to the two in the middle. The light cleared and no trace of the outer senshi were seen.

"Where?" Healer looked around hoping to find the outer senshi. Hoping that they had gotten away in time. Mercury had on her goggles hoping that there would be a clue to where the senshi were. There was no clues and the remaining senshi stood there.

"Sailor Moon..." There was a strong wind that lead to huge doors that were not there before. "If you want your remaining senshi and.." There was a pause."Tuxedo Kamen..Please enter into the doors."
"Mamo-chan!" Moon went running through the Starlights and the inner senshi. Fighter was the first to run and chase her. The inner senshi immediatly ran after them. Jupiter caught up with Moon and grabbed her back.

"Sailor Moon, you can't go alone." Jupiter struggled with Moon to keep her from running. With the aide of Fighter she stopped moving.

"Venus, Mercury and I will go first. You and Sailor Moon will follow." Mars started towrads the door followed by Venus and Mercury. Jupiter and Fighter still held on to Moon. Maker and Healer were close behind along with Kakyuu. Mars touched the doors and was immediatly attacked with electric energy. Mars screamed loudly and feel to Moon's feet. Her eyes were closed and she didn't move.

"Rei!" Moon held the girl in her arms. She was still breathing.

"Usagi you don't have to hold me so tightly. Let me go.." Mars opened her eyes and Moon let her go. Mars stood with the help of Fighter. The doors opened by themselves. Mercury and Venus were the first to enter and the group followed. When all of the senshi entered the doors slammed shut. There was nothing but darkness. They couldn't even tell that they were standing on anything. Moon held on to Fighter's hand. Venus looked down and jumped back.

"What are those!" Pale hands were reaching up from the ground. They were being surrounded by hands reaching from the floor.

"Aqua Mirage!" Some of the hands froze and shattered.

"Star Serious Laser!" Fighter's beam broke through the hands. Soon new hands started to form. One hand grabbed Mars' leg and she fell.

"Mars!" Moon reached for her hand but she couldn't save the Fire senshi from being pulled under. Tall hands grabbed Venus' arms and shorter ones got her feet. She screamed and tried to fight.

"Help!" Thats all she could say before a hand wrapped it's fingers around her neck.

"If you attack the hands you will hit Venus!" Kakyuu said.

"Venus!" Moon ran to help but Fighter pulled her back. Venus was slowly going under because she was putting up a fight. Moon reached for her hand and got it. Venus' hands slipped away from Moon's and she went under. "Venus!" The hands disappeared but everything was still dark.

Seiya watched Usagi toss and turn. He had fallen asleep and awoke to her calling out "Venus". He got up and shook her. Tears were falling from her eyes as she struggled in her sleep. Seiya shook her harder and she finally woke up. She saw him and jumped into his arms and sobbed."Odango?"

"It was horrible. First, Pluto had died and then the rest of the outer senshi just disappeared!" Seiya just held on to her tightly and rocked her back and forth.

"I was just a nightmare.."

"It felt so real.."

"They always do." Seiya knew he wasn't doing a good job of calming her down. He glanced at the clock and seen that it was two in the morning.

"I can't go back to sleep.."Usagi whispered."Will you talk to me?"

"You don't even have to ask." Usagi pulled away from him and looked at him.

"What is Kinmoku like?" Usagi always wanted to know. "Is it like Earth?"

"Well..Kind of..There are flowers that grow here on Kinmoku but not very many. Kinmoku is a very beautiful place. It's buildings are very tall. Some buildings look like they are made of glass. But they're not. It's just a little special paint some choose to use. There are flowers that are red, gold, yellow, white, pink and other colors. Some are even multicolored. My favorite is the pink and white roses. They remind me of you." Usagi blushed. Her eyes twinkled with curiousity. "Because the pink resembles sweetness. The white is for pureness."
"What about the palace?" Seiya thought back to the palace.

"The palace is very big. The halls are decorated with gold and red. Kakyuu's throne room is decorated with gold. Her throne is gold with red. There are historic pictures that adorn the corridor walls. Previous royalty and other things. Guards like any other palace gaurd the thorn room and Kakyuu's bedroom. They also guard the gates and certain rooms. Behind the palace there is a garden. If you walk through the garden there is a maze. Rumor is that there is something that awaits the person who gets through the maze without using magic or anything like that. If you do cheat nothing awaits you in the center. So far no one has been able to get through the maze. It's not really open to the public but sometimes Kakyuu allows people to give the maze a try."

"I would like to try and find out what's in the center." Usagi wondered about what it could be. It could be a bunch of ice cream waiting to be eaten.

"I wish I could take you.."

"We promised not to keep secrets, didn't we?"

"Yes, Odango. We did."

"I am going to honor that. You know that I am Sailor Moon." Seiya nodded. "You have heard the outer senshi refer to me as their princess." Seiya nodded again.

"I have always wondered about that."

"Yeah..I am Princess of the Moon." Seiya wasn't really shocked so she continued and played with her hair. "My hair is turning silver. Not becuase I dyed it but it's doing that naturally. In the near future I am to become Neo Queen Serenity and rule over Crystal Tokyo with...Mamo-chan.." Seiya's felt his heart being ripped out again. Her future is with Mamoru. "We are to have a child..Chibi-Usa.. The little girl you seen on the picture." Seiya was shocked. His jaw dropped open.

"S..So..You, Mamoru.." Seiya had to get the pieces together.

"It's my destiny.."

"How do you know it's your destiny? How can you be so sure of it?" Seiya wanted desperatly for her to tell him that she wasn't sure of her destiny.
"Setsuna told me. Sailor Pluto..The Gaurdian of Time."

"What about.." Seiya decided not to finish his question. "I have to go to the bathroom!" Seiya quickly ran out of the room. Usagi decided to lay back down, relax and wait for Seiya to come back. After ten minutes he didn't return to the room, Usagi walked out and tapped on the bathroom door.

"Seiya's not here." Kakyuu walked out of her room. Usagi looked at the other princess with confusion. "He just walked out the door. He's not far. If you run you should catch up with him."

"He went out in the rain?" Kakyuu nodded. Usagi grabbed a rain coat and ran outside. Kakyuu watched her run out and shook her head.

"I think she is in likes him." Taiki came out of his room.

"You were listening?" Taiki nodded.

"I guess I should return to my peaceful slumber. It's two-thirty in them morning. I suggest you do the same." Kakyuu closed the door quietly and Taiki did the same.

"Seiya!" The rain had her hair and clothes soaking wet. She ran but she didn't find him. The moon was still out and shining even though it rained. "Seiya!" She called out again, she still didn't get a answer. She ran to the enterance of the park. She heard Seiya's voice. She ran closer to hear it.

"Moon in the sky

Please listen to my prayer

The love of my life

Has drifted away

It's not like she was mine

I just love her with all of my soul

The love I feel has cost me so

much pain

I wished on the stars

Now I come to you

My Odango...I love her so..

But..She has been shown her destiny

And she won't let it go

A beautiful child, the power to become

a powerful queen..

If only..If only..

I could've met her sooner.."

The tears flowed freely and merged with the rain water that was on Usagi's face. "Seiya!" Seiya turned around suprised to see her outside in this weather.

"Odango? What are you doing here?" Usagi ran into his arms.

"I came to find you.."

"Why?"

"Your words are beautiful..But.." Seiya put a finger to her lips.

"They are for you..You deserve the finest things."

"Why are they for me? You deserve someone better.." Usagi slowly slid to the ground. "I have M..M..Mamo-chan.." Usagi felt regretful and didn't know why. It felt weird to her now..To say "Mamo-chan". Seiya got on both knees and touched her face gently. He wiped the loose hair from her eyes and looked into them. He saw regret and confusion.

"Odango..You are the best. Since we promised not to keep things from each other..I love you Odango. I love you with all of my heart. Why can't you see that? Am I not good enough for you? Can I not do better than Mamoru? Or..Do you think that your destiny is set in stone..That you can't let go because of the beautiful little girl you are going to have?" He still stared into her eyes and his hand was still on her cheek. She couldn't answer. Once more, she couldn't answer him.

"Seiya..I.." Did she love him? "I can't.."

"What?"
"You can't! You should stop loving me..It hurts you too much." Tears were still falling. She looked at him and seen the tears hidden by the rain. "I'm sorry, Seiya. Sorry that I am so blind to see the love staring me in my face. You are good enough..But I can't..I can't lose Chibi-Usa. I love her too much to lose her in the blink of an eye. Seiya..There's so much you don't understand." Seiya forced himself to smile.

"It's okay, Odango." He stood and helped her up. "I see crystal clear." Seiya started to walk ahead, leaving her behind. Usagi followed but he didn't slow his pace to try and let her keep up.

"Seiya! Wait!" He didn't stop walking. "Where are we going?"

"I'm going to our old apartment. You should go back home." Usagi's eyes widened. Was he saying he didn't want her around?

"Seiya!" She grabbed his hand. "Don't be foolish. It's almost three right now! You can't walk all the way over there by yourself!"

"Odango just go home." Seiya quickened his walking. Usagi watched him disappear into the rainy night. She sat under the tree and held her knees against her chest. She rested her head and cried. Not for her, for Seiya. She knew she upset him. She must admit that every time she was around him, she felt at peace,like nothing could ever happen to her.

"Usagi." Usagi looked up to Sailor Pluto standing in front of her. "You shouldn't be out her on a night like this. It's very likely for you to get sick." Pluto reached out her hand and Usagi accepted her help. A purple light surrounded them and they disappeared.

"What the hell?" Haruka had answered the door. Apparently she was not happy about being awaken at four in the morning. She looked at the soaked Usagi, then she looked to Pluto. "What happened to her?" Pluto shook her head and mouthed "I'll tell you later.." Haruka nodded and stepped aside to allow the two to come in. Waiting for them on the couch was Michiru.

"Usagi. You're visit is very unexpected, but you are welcome at any time." Michiru smiled. Her smile faded when Usagi didn't smile back. "Let's get you out of those clothes. I have some that should be able to fit you nicely."

"Usagi, please tell me you will stay for the rest of the night." Pluto said. Usagi nodded and followed Michiru into her room where she recieved a night gown.

"What happened?" Haruka asked.

"Seiya..The Starlights have returned." Haruka balled up her fists."There is a new evil. They came to help out here, before the evil can reach their galaxy."

"So..This evil person didn't reach them. So they come here to help us? Why didn't we know sooner?" Haruka was prepared to kill Seiya.

"Usagi is powerless right now. Her powers are of no use to protect her. The enemy is too strong. Mamoru is.."

"Dead?" Michiru had walked into the conversation. Pluto shook her head.

"No. He is still alive. Just..I don't know where he could be." Pluto looked like she was concentrating very hard.

"Haruka please. Don't harm Seiya." They turned around to see Usagi with a dry night gown on and her hair down. "He actually helped me."
"Then why are you out in the rain?" Haruka snapped. "Why?" Haruka looked into Usagi's eyes and seen the fear. "Sorry..I..I just.." Michiru placed a hand on Haruka's shoulder.

"Don't worry. Usagi, we will not harm Seiya or any of the Starlights..We promise." Michiru looked at Haruka and seen the suprise in her eyes. At least not physically.. Michiru thought to herself. Usagi gave her a hug and retreated to the spare room Michiru said she could sleep in.

"Haruka..Her feelings for Mamoru and Seiya are changing..Look for the clues of who she may choose.." Pluto disappeared leaving Haruka and Michiru standing there.

"Oh god! Haruka look!" Michiru was pointing to a group picture that featured Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Mamoru, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Hotaru..But Chibi-Usa was no longer there.

"So, it's changing sooner than we expected.

Gomen Miina for the long wait for this chapter. School has been taking up a lot of time for me and plus I play sports and all. Read/Review.
