Chapter 5- Chibi Usas' Encounter
Seiya walked into his apartment. It appeared to be empty. He was to tired to change his clothes, so he just jumped on the couch, and he quickly fell asleep. He had no energy left to make it to his bed.
That morning
Seiya woke up to music, when he looked up he say Yaten and Taiki dancing. "What are you guys doing?"
Yaten paused the music. "The real question is why are you still sleeping. It's one in the afternoon."
Seiya scratched his stomach. "That still doesn't explain why you were dancing just now."
Taiki made a odd face. "Yaten over here decided for all of us that we'd do a commercial. A musical commercial."
"About what?" Seiya questioned while brushing his hair.
"It's about an energy drink." Taiki began counting out the steps.
"Not just any energy drink." Yaten face lit up. "But 'Kamako'. It's the best energy drink you will ever find."
"No one including us has even tasted it." Taiki lost his concentration. "It's just some girl trying make something with her name on it."
Yaten ignored Taiki and turned the music back on. "Don't worry Seiya, you don't have to worry about learning this. All you have to do is stand there untill you take a sip of 'Kamako' and then be like 'Whoa...' and then with a burst of energy run across the stage and back. Then the final words 'You won't believe the rush you get from Kamako.' Then some other stuff but I forget."
"Okay." Seiya put his hand in his pocket and noticed that the pendent was gone. "Noo..."
"What's wrong." Taiki said as he tripped and knocked Yaten into a table.
"Hey! Watch it." Yaten quickly pushed himself back up.
"Now were even. You slammed a door on me and I knocked you face first into a table." Taiki smiled and watched as Seiya dashed outside. "Wonder where's he's going."
"I don't know and right now I don't care, get back to work." Yaten shoved Taiki futher away from him. "Okay. 1 ,and 2, and 3 ,and 1 ,and 2, and 3. and..."
Seiya despartly searching
Seiya retraced all of his steps, when suddenly it clicked in his head, 'the hobo'. Seiya ran around the entire city searching for him. He saw a man wearing nicer shoes than the hobo originally had, but other than that they appeared to be the same person. "Hey you." Seiya said, and the old man pointed to himself. "Yes you. Come here."
"What do you want?" The hobo snapped at him. "You wouldn't give me your shoes yesterday and you expect me to talk to you."
"Okay lets say you were in my place, would you really give your shoes to same stranger you met on the street." Seiya explained. "Besides if you wouldn't of acted in that manner I would of probably bought you some shoes to wear, but it appears you already have some."
"Yea about that." The hobo rubbed his fingers down his beard. "I kind of sold that necklace thingy of yours to a thrift shop and bought me these shoes."
He grabbed the old mans' arms. "Tell me, please, where did you sell it."
The guy pointed his wrinkly index finger towards a really old run down looking store up the steet. "Thanks. I think." Seiya let go of the man and walked towards the shop.
While walking inside he got a sudden cold chill. 'I don't like the feeling this place gives me,' Seiya thought. He saw many strange items while inside. Disturbing things filled the room, things that could make a person puke at the sight of it. The shop was very musty smelling. All of a sudden a scent of flowers filled the room. He looked up and saw a girl, who looked just like Samonie, but she gave off a diffrent ora. This girl seemed very calm and at peace with life, while Samonie seemed angry towards the world, and she always seemed to be restlest.
She looked up. "Hello. How may I help you."
She seemed to be able to see straight through him. "Uhhhhh... Oh yea, has anyone brung in a pendent or locket looking thing that was hand crafted and seemed to be made of some sort of crystal substance."
"Why yes." She went over to a drawer and opened it. The girl pulled out his pendent. "Is this it. Some poor looking fellow wanted some money for this. I knew the real owner of this would probly come looking for it."
She handed it to him. "You smell really nice."
"Excuse me." She had dazed out into space.
"Nothing. By the way I'm Seiya. Who are you." He was trying to figure out if she was who he thought she was.
"Nice to met you Seiya." She shook his hand. "I'm Samonie."
Seiya expression went from normal to shocked. "Do you remember who I am."
"No." Samonie kind of laughed ,then picked up a broom and began sweep up all the dust.
"I gave you half my soul. Remember, my Starlight half, so I could finally be a normal man."
Samonie looked at him like he was crazy. "Sorry." He said as his walked out.
'What's going on here.' Seiya was becoming very confused, 'She never really stroke me as the compasionate type. It's as if she's two diffrent people in the same body. I'm going to have to figure this out, but first I have to prepare for tonight.'
Samonie watches as he walks away. "What a strange man." She walked into a back room. Her head began to pulse. "Awwhh... not again."
She fell to her knees, her hands in her long silver hair. With a flash of light she stood up. Her eyes were demonic looking now, and they seemed to be much more dull. "He he he." She cackled evilaly. "Sorry, but I need this body much more than you do."
Inside her dull eyes you could see a reflection of herself weeping. "Your the one who sold your body and soul to a demon."
Samonie put up a closed sign on the shop, and walked out. "Let's see, what chaos should I cause today."
She looked around at everyone, when suddenly her eyes landed on a poster. Samonie walked over to it and pulled it off. "Come see the beautiful and talented violin player, Michiru, tonight at Grand Redamanie Estate. Hey, this girl seems like a nice person. I wonder what tradgic event I could bring into her life."
Looking around she saw a car speed by all the others. "That seems good enough." While walking off, she stuck the poster in her jeans' pocket, and began cackling once more.
Chibi Usa and Hotaru
"Hotaru, ask your dad if we can go to the park today." Chibi Usa said as she was sliding down the stair railing.
"Okay. Daddy!" Hotaru shouted as she slid down behind Chibi Usa.
"Yes, what do you want dear." Her father cought Chibi Usa and Hotaru just as they were about to hit the floor.
"Can me and Chibi Usa go to the park today." Hotaru and Chibi Usa looked at him with pitiful eyes.
"Sure, I don't see the harm in it. Do you two want to walk there yourself or would you rather I take you."
"Well walk there." They ran for the door. "Bye Dad."
They walked for a while, but soon became tired, and decided to rest for a few minutes. "It's so hot out today." Chibi Usa whined.
"Yea." Hotaru took a deep breath. "Come on lets get going, we have to get there and be home before dark."
Hotaru helped Chibi Usa up, and they continued. They had finally made it to the park around three o' clock. They got on the swing set. "Hotaru, I feel weak."
"Chibi Usa." Hotaru turned towards her, and just as she stopped her swing Chibi Usa fell into the dirt beneath the swing. "CHIBI USA!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!"
Chibi Usa awoke in a strage place. "Where am I? Hello is anybody there!"
She began walking around. She noticted a girl sitting on a bolder, with a scroll in her hand. "Hello."
The strange girl looked up. "Hello." Her voice sounded like that of an angles. "I'm Samonie. who are you?"
"I'm Chibi Usa. Where am I?" Chibi Usa walked closer to her.
"Your trapped in her world. A demons' universe, I don't know why a little kid like you would be in here." She continued writing on the scroll.
"Well if this is a demons' universe then what are you doing in here." She climed up on the bolder beside her.
"Oh me, why I'm not always here. I go between this world and the regular one. It's a long story about why me and this demon switch places. Much too complicated for a girl of your age."
"How do I get out?"
"I don't know. If you came here the same way as me it's not up to you, but to the demon you bargend with." She closed the scroll and stuck it inside her kimono sleave. "So, how exactly did you get in here?"
"Uhh... I was just sitting on a swing and became very weak. The next thing I knew I was here." Chibi Usa tried to remember exactly what had happened. Her face filled with fear and worry.
"Oh poor sweetheart." She pulled Chibi Usa onto her lap. "How bout I sing you a lulaby, will that make you feel better."
She nodded. Samonie began to sing, in a voice so beautiful Chibi Usa couldn't help but feel at peace with everything. All of a sudden she stopped. "No, please..."
"What's wrong." Chibi Usa looked up into her eyes.
"Run, now, get away before it's too late." Samonie slid Chibi Usa down the bolder.
She ran as fast as she could, the world around her began to change. Everything was dying. 'What's going on here.' Chibi Usa thought with fear entering her heart. 'Samonie what's happening here?'
Chibi Usa ran into somebody, when she looked up she saw Samonie. "What's happening here? What are we running from?" She noticed the dullness in her eyes. "What did you do with Samonie?"
"He he he. I want to know how you found my world. Oh and I am still Samonie, just with a better personality."
"I don't know. I want Samonie back, the real one." Chibi Usa cryed.
"I am the real Samonie. Now tell me how did you enter my world."
"I told you already, I don't know." Chibi Usa was frozen in place.
"You couldn't be the one, could you. I thought it was your father but maybe I'm wrong. I guess I'll have to let you live for now, that is of course untill I figure out weither you have what I've been searching for. You can have your little friend back for now. I have some stuff to take care of that involves a woman and a wonderful car." The demon form of Samonie vanished and the human form returned.
"Little girl." The woman said while lying on the ground.
"Yes." Chibi Usa ran over to her.
"Never sell your soul and body to a demon for something that's not worth it." She paused, "I take what i just said back, never do what I have done for anything, or else you will suffer the same fate as me. How I wish this beast had never been released.
"What did you sell your sould and body for?" Chibi Usa questioned the young madien.
"It's a very long story. Ha ha, I was such a silly girl." Her eyes began to water. "Long story short is this, a man."
"You mean you did all this for a single man?" Chibi Usa helped her up.
"Yes, all for my one and only love. I gave him everything he could ever want, I gave up my ways of living for him." She wiped her face with her kimono sleave, when she put her arm back down the scroll fell out. "He never returned that love I showed him, and he made me realize how folish I was. To go after a man in love with someone else."
She picked up the scroll. "We need to find you a one way ticket out of here. Your family probably misses you very much."
"I left Hotaru all alone in the park. It's probably getting really dark by now." Chibi Usa said while pacing back and forth.
"A friend of yours I assume." She picked Chibi Usa up, carrying her to the water. "I think you may be able to get back through the water. I'm not sure if it's true but it's worth a shot."
"What do I have to do after I'm in the water?" Chibi Usa became nervous.
"If the stories my mother used to tell me about the demon worlds, then each demon has a weak point. Since this is a fox demon, that controls fire, what other place could be it's weak point." She searched the water. "Yes, it's true then. Okay listen up little one, all you must do is swim for the light in the water and you should re-enter your body."
"What about you?" Chibi Usa stood near the waters' edge.
"No need to worry bout me. I'm perfectly safe unlike you. I'll never be able to leave, I'm stuck in here forever. Goodbye little one."
Chibi Usa jumped into the water and began swimming for the shinning light she saw. 'I can't hold my breath any longer,' she thought and then stopped where she was at. 'Wait a minute. I can breath in here. How is a demon's world so calm and at peace." Her memory of what this universe became when the real demon entered returned. 'Thats right. It must be because she's in here right now.'
She looked up and saw Samonie looking down from above. She was once again singing that calming lulaby. A smile spread across Chibi Usa face, and she continued swimming, until she went through the light.
"Mamoru! she's moving!" Usagi's voice rang out.
Opening her eyes she saw Usagi, Mamoru, Hotaru, and Setsuna. "It worked."
"What worked?" Everyone asked.
"Oh nothing. Whoa it's light outside." Chibi Usa noticed she was dry. "Huh? I was just in water a few seconds ago."
"Are you okay?" Usagi said with a serious expression.
"Yes. Why did you all seem so worried when I first woke up? I've only been out a few hours."
"More like seventeen hours." Sestuna took Chibi Usa hair down. "You had use pretty worried. You had stopped breathing for a few seconds before you finally awoke."
"We thought we had lost you forever." Mamoru said.
"I could of never forgiven myself if you had died." Hotarus' face became covered in tears as she ran over to hug Chibi Usa.
Seiya at the city park
"I've been here since seven last night and now it's eigth in the morning. I can't believe she didn't show up." Seiya eyes filled with tears of anger. "I ask for one chance to express my love for her the way it should, and she doesn't even come for the stupid gift."
He kicked the grass revealing the dirt beneath it. "Usagi, all I ever wanted was to be with you. Someone tell me why won't she accept my feeling for her."
He leaned against a tree, looking at the lake that sat infront of him. "Stupid girl." He tossed the pendent into the water.
It began to slowly sink to the bottom. All the fish swam away from the shiny object. He watched it as the shimmer of it slowly disapeared. There it rested on the lakes' bottom.
Hi everybody, I hope your all still enjoying my story so far. Till next time Chibi-Yaten
