SailorStar9: Yup, another one of my insane fics.

Bobboky: Thank you.

Bunny Aino: As much as you hate betrayal fics, I would think this one is justified. After what the Ginzuishou showed to her (biased of course. The Ginzuishou puts the blame entirely on the Cobalt Lotus.) Usagi is bound to be angry and anger makes even the most caring of person say the most unkind words. Luna was only acting on Usagi's order (as future Queen) when she cast her out. Oh yeah, Ami won't be battling much in this. You see, Sosai X want the Cobalt Lotus. I mean this guy's been on Earth for like what, three thousand years? He's bound to find out about the Ginzuishou and the Cobalt Lotus right?

Chapter 1: Re-meeting

Disclaimers: I own nothing.


Three years had passed since Sosai X's destruction and 22-year-old Mizuno Ami was standing in front of Sauri Washio's grave.

Footsteps were heard behind her and a shadow over-loomed the azure-haired woman.

"It's been a while." she remarked.

"Hai, it has been." the shadow replied.

Stepping forward, Ken Washio was behind her. Kneeling down for a moment, he placed the bouquet of flowers in front of his mother's grave.

"So, is this how we're going to end?" she suddenly asked standing up.

"After that stunt you pulled, yes." Ami snapped.

Ken winced.


Flashback to five months earlier

He was at Jun's restaurant with his former teammates, celebrating the third anniversary of Sosai X's defeat.

Ken did not know what came over him, but he had too much of a drink (or so he thought). And since he was not much of a drinker himself, it was not difficult to imagine what happened.

When he did not return that night, a worried Ami went over to search for her live-in fiancé.

So, imagine her shock when she found Ken and Jun on the floor, in the latter's bedroom, naked and entangled in bed sheets.

Her shock quickly turned to utter disappointment and the upset Ami ran out.

It was only in the afternoon of the next day did Ken realize what had happened.

Rushing back to his trailer in under an hour, Ken found no trace of Ami, except a letter and her engagement ring beside his flight goggles.

Frantically ripping the letter open, Ken read on, wide-eyed.

At the end of the three-page-long breakup letter, Ken sighed in resignation as he clutched tightly to the paper.

End of flashback


"I don't expect to be forgiven." Ken admitted quietly. "Even though Jun and I never did anything."

"Nani?" came Ami's surprised answer.

Ken let out a small smile.

"Jun confessed. She slipped a sleeping draught into my drink. She thought that by giving you the wrong impression, the both of us would break up. I told her point blank that it was impossible; I loved you too much to ever accept her."

Ami took a sharp intake of breath, all this time she had mistaken him!

Taking in a deep breath, Ken added, "Look, I know this isn't the time for this, but I want to start over."

"It would be difficult this time round, Ken" Ami confessed softly.

"I see." Ken choked.

"But I'm willing to give us a chance." she finished, adding new hope to the otherwise downcast Ken Washio

"Hontou?" Ken questioned, not really believing his ears.

"Hai." Ami shyly admitted.

"And I expect the ring to be back on my finger when the time is right." she added.

Her sentence was greeted by an overjoyed whoop and Ami suddenly found herself scooped up in Ken's arms.

Ami let out a gentle smile at Ken. Truth to be told, she still loved him, whether or not he and Jun did it.


SailorStar9: Well, looks like the problem's resolved. I'll be jumping into the OVA next chapter. Until then, ja ne!
