Author's Note: Hey…well, I can't believe that I'm at chapter 7 of this story…I was sure that it was going to be like 5 chapters or something. I was reading all of the reviews that I received so far for this fanfic. I'd really like to thank all of you for your comments…suggestions and constructive critiques. Oh, good news to let you know of…if you go to my profile, I wrote down all of my stories and their progress…also any new stories that I'm working on and when they will be coming online. So check it out. Anyway…this is a very short chapter…at least I think it is. The next one might be short too…I really don't know since I didn't start working on it yet. This chapter would have been longer but I liked were I ended it at…it give me more to work with in the next chapter. Well…enough with my chatting…enjoy the story! Please Review!

Disclamer: So…I'm looking back on my other chapters and I notice that a little thing is missing…the disclamer…well no matter how much I may beg and plead…and even if I had a million dollars…I will never ever own Sailormoon…(if I did, I most likely would have Seiya and Serena as a couple!)

Chance of a life time

Chapter 7 "Saying goodbye"

Seiya POV

"You can't be serious." Yaten said as he looked at me. I was too busy packing my suite case to even reply to him. Taiki even looked on in surprise at my sudden change of attitude. It's been a little more then 3 days since the incident at the restaurant. That afternoon I decided in my heart that I just couldn't continue to stay here anymore. I know that Mina tried all that she could to encourage me not to go…but I couldn't imagine running into Serena in school or some where in town. It would be just too much for me.

When I came home that night I just laid down on my bed…all thoughts were on her. I didn't know if this was the best or the worst decision. All I knew was that…we needed some time apart. If I ran away…would it make me any weaker then I am right now?

"Seiya …this is a bad idea…the two of you just need to sit down and talk this through…running away will not solve anything." Taiki stressed. For a moment I stopped in my tracks. I was standing by the closet, so my back was towards them. I lowered my head and took in a deep breath. At that moment, my heart felt as if it were being pulled in so many different directions. I leaned my hand against the wall as I shook my head…my back was still facing my brothers.

"It doesn't make any sense to you…but…it's just the way that it is. Taiki…I know…you told me what she said when you saw her but…so much has happened between us these past couple of days and I…" My voice drifted off as I remember the events of the past couple of days. So much pain and confusion…how much more of it could either one of us take? I bit my lower lip. I could feel the tears welling up but I held it back. With every thought of her I didn't want to end up crying. I had to be strong…even if it meant not admitting the truth. The truth was that…even if I did leave I would still love her. Mina was right…even if I did leave I wouldn't forget about her. I couldn't stop thinking of her even at this very moment.

"Well…I guess there's nothing that we could do. We can't force you to do something that you don't want to. Go…go to America. But know this…you can never run away from your problems. It will catch up to you…and make sure that this really is the right choice because…the worst thing is losing the best thing." With that Yaten turned around and walked away leaving Taiki and Seiya. Taiki walked into the room and sat down on the arm rest of the arm chair near the window. His back was towards me as he looked out of the window. After a moment or so he began to speak.

"I don't know how you feel…I hope never to feel such pain." He began softly. "But know this one thing. When I looked into her eyes…I saw so much emotions…I saw sadness…regret…I even saw love. That love that I saw didn't come from talking about Darien…it came from talking about you. You may feel that it is important for the two of you to be apart…but is it really? What good will it do? The only thing you will do is keep the wound that the two

of you have opened. What's worst is that YOU will be the one who would hurt HER. If it was the other way around and she left…how would you feel?" He stood up straight and turned to face me. A very serious look was across his face as he continued. "I care for her as much as you do. I don't want to see her anymore hurt then she is." With out another word, he left the room with out once looking back.

I have never seen my brothers this way before. I thought deeply about what they had told me. I stood up straight and breathed in deeply. I closed my eyes for a second before I continued to look through my closet. I grabbed a few items and placed them in my suit case.

About 15 minutes later I had finished packing. I stood down stairs of my apartment building as the driver of the limo took my suit cases and placed them in the trunk. He opened the door of the limo and waited for me to step in before he closed the door behind me. I looked out the window and looked at the building that I once called home. The driver got into the drivers seat and started to pull away from the curb. As he drove I looked down at my watch…it was 7pm…my flight wouldn't leave until 9:30 pm. It took about an hour to drive to the airport, so I had to leave early. I notice that we were driving through a familiar neighborhood. I pressed one of the buttons next to me.

"Yes sir, is there anything that I could help you with?" The driver in the front asked.

"Yes…I wanted to make a quick stop before we go to the airport…I will give you the directions." I said.

"Yes sir…were shall we go?"

About 10 minutes later we stopped in front of a house. I looked out of the window and up at the very familiar balcony. The lights to her room were open and I could see movement inside. She was home. I took in a deep breath. At first thought coming here to say goodbye seemed like a good idea. Yet…I couldn't bring myself to do it. If I did…I probably wouldn't find the courage to leave. No matter what, I

really felt that it was best for me to leave…even if it were a little while. I turned my head from the window and pressed the button to speak to the driver.

"Yes sir?" The driver asked.

I hesitated before continuing. "You may leave now." I said firmly. As the driver pulled away, I took one last look at her bedroom window. My eyes widen in shock when I saw her looking right back at me…with a smile.
