Chapter 3: The Tears I've Cried
Far away on a small planet known as Kinmoku, a black haired warrior stared out the window looking at the shining dot that was the earth. As Sailor Star Fighter looked out the window, tears filled her eyes and slowly made their way down her cheeks. Then there was a knock at the door.
"Fighter? Are you in there?"
"Yes," she whispered.
"May I come in?"
"It's your planet. You'll do what you want regardless."
"True," said Princess Kakyuu, "I'm coming in now."
As the princess entered the room, Fighter wiped the tears from her eyes. Princess Kakyuu approached and sat down on Fighter's bed.
"Are you well?"
"No, princess. I'm not," said Fighter emotionlessly.
"Does this have anything to do with Serena?" Kakyuu questioned.
"Everything."
"Do you love her?" Kakyuu asked, fearing the answer.
"More than life itself," Fighter was still looking out the window, so she didn't notice the silent tears of Kakyuu.
"So be it," Fighter turned questioning eyes on Kakyuu, who returned it with a look of pure sorrow and heartbreak.
"Princess…," Fighter began.
"No, Fighter. You are to address me as Kakyuu from now on."
"But you are my princess. I must address you with respect," Fighter argued.
"Although this breaks my heart, Fighter, I release you from my service."
"What?" Fighter whispered.
"Go to earth and protect your princess."
"You are my princess," Fighter said.
"I am not the princess of your heart. No matter how I tried, I could never win that position," Kakyuu looked at Fighter with tears streaming down her face, "Go. Fight. Win. It's what you do best, after all."
Fighter walked up to Kakyuu and gave her a hug. One word was whispered. "Goodbye". With a flash of light, Sailor Star Fighter was gone.
