Chapter 7- Goodbye Dear Friend

He stood there, looking at the bloody scene.

"Seiya now... We don't have time to waste." She coughed up more blood. "NOW!!!"

Seiya became confused, 'I can't tell them about it, I don't know how they would react. I guess I have to do what a normal person would do.'

He ran over to where Samonie was. "What are you doing you idiot!" Sailor Uranus shouted. "I guess if you want something done you've got to do it yourself. Seiya stop now!!"

Seiya stopped and turned towards her. He saw she was getting ready to try attacking again. "No, you stop. I can do this."

"Fine I won't attack with World Shaking," She pondered though the ideas in her head for a moment, then began to charge at the enemy.

"Haruka, what your doing is suicide." Sailor Moon screamed while her powers were weakening, and she was then no longer in her Senshi form.

"Princess," Uranus didn't stop for a moment. "I've sworn my life to protecting you and that's what I plan on doing."

Samonie grabbed her by her broach. "Attacking me with your fist was a mistake."

She smiled, "No it wasn't, you've done just as I had suspected."

Samonie stared at Uranus. "What does that mean?"

"Now Seiya."

It took him a moment to realize what he was supposed to do, then he realized it. She had let go of Chibi Usa when she had grabbed Sailor Uranus. Seiya ran by and grabbed Chibi Usa, and then he took her to Usagi. "Here ya go, I'll be right back. I have to help her."

"No!" Sailor Uranus snapped. "I need you to get Usagi and Chibi Usa into the room with Michiru. Guard them with your life Seiya. Don't let me die in vane."

He respected her wishes, so he pulled Chibi Usa onto his back and lifted Usagi into his arms. Seiya took one last glance back, but moved on quickly for he knew he couldn't waste time, so he ran up the stairs. He had already decided he would never ride the elevators again. When he arrived in Michiru's room she was awake. "Where is Haruka? I want to see her face." She looked over at Seiya. "What happened to Usagi, there's blood everywhere."

"Chibi Usa was attacked and Usagi transformed and tried to help her." Seiya looked down at Usagi, 'I can't believe I let this happen to her.'

Michiru figured what had happened to Haruka. "Take both of the to the doctor and have there wounds treated. I'll be fine in here... alone."

Seiya left the room. "You've done a good job, Haruka my love, I'll join you someday. You had the most honorable death possible to a Senshi, to die protecting our Princess. Goodbye." Michiru blew a kiss into the nothingness that surrounded her. Her heart sank, her will to live was now gone. "I'll do my best to finish what you started. I'll will avenge your death."

Michiru pulled out the IV's from her arm as she stood up. She tried walking outside the room, but she was much too weak, and wobbled everywhere she went till she finally fell to the cold floor beneath her.

Seiya finds a doctor that's not busy

"Help me!" He yelled to the man. "This girl here needs help, the other one just has a few cuts on her arm, but you must help Usagi, she's slowly dieing."

The doctor had the nurses rush her into the emergency room. Chibi Usa was in the room with Michiru. One of the nurses had found her lying on the floor trying to escape. "Please be okay Usagi." Seiya said.

Seiya went to a phone. 'I know Usagi would want me to call Mamoru for her. Even though it breaks my heart just to see them together.' He dialed Mamoru's apartment number.

The phone rings. "Hello." Mamoru voice rings through his ears.

'How I hate the very sound of him.' Seiya thought for a moment when he snapped back into reality. "You need to come down to the hospital. Usagi has been seriously injured and I think she needs you here more than ever, so if you would please come here as quick as possible." He hung up the phone.

'If you don't come I'll kill you myself,' he thought as he stared at the closed doors which hid Usagi from his view. "I love you."

Seiya walked outside the hospital doors. After about twelve minutes he sees Mamoru. "I came here as quick as possible," Mamoru said. "Which one is Usagi's room?"

"Emergency Room 15." Seiya walked off into the distance.

"Wonder why he sounded so funny." Mamoru shrugged his shoulders and walked inside. Waiting for his chance to be able to see Usagi.

Luna is outside sniffing where Haruka and Samonie once were. "If only I were a dog that could pick up scents easily or maybe a human that could travel easier."

She continued walking when all of sudden she heard a strange voice. "So you don't want to be a cat anymore do ya."

"Who's there!" Luna shouted into the air.

"Just call me a friend. I can make you anything you want just for one simple price of course." The voice echoed through the area.

"And what might that be." Luna walked in a circle.

"Your cat form and all the memories that come with it. Of course I'll give you new memories of a past of whatever you choose to be."

"How will that help me with anything if I can't remember what I changed for?" Luna questioned the voice.

"You could be with the human man that you have a little kitty crush on." The voice replied.

"What about Artimas? I couldn't just leave him like that." It began to rain.

"Oh, him. He's already forgotten all about you Luna. Your so called Artamis isn't at Minako's house as he should be, but instead he ran away to be with someone else. A cat called Risha I think. If you don't believe me here's proof." A orb like object appeared in front of Luna and it showed Artamis walking with another cat."

Her eyes began to fill with water. "Fine do whatever you want to me. Make me a human I really don't care."

Luna's heart became full a hatred for Artimas. A bright light surrounded her, forcing her to shut her eyes. When re-opened, she saw herself as a cat lying on the ground. It floated into the sky up above and vanished into a dark mist.

Seiya walking to his apartment

He passed the store where he had met a girl named Samonie. Who was much different from the demon he had known, the one who took Haruka's life. Even though in the past they had hated each other, he couldn't help but weep over the loss of her life. "If only I hadn't gave up my stupid powers then maybe things would of been different. Ughhh, I wish it would stop raining."

His clothes drenched. Seiya felt a strange energy coming from the shop. Turning around slowly, he decided to walk inside. "Hello! Is anybody here?"

Seiya noticed a strange light coming from the back room. "Huh?" He saw a old looking mirror sitting on a table. "So this is where the light is coming from. What a strange mirror."

He gazed into it, as if he were searching for something. He put his index finger on it, and to his surprise his finger went right through it. "Whaahhh!!!" He was quickly absorbed into the mirror.

Seiya heard a lady scream as he crashed. "Who are you." The voice of an angel rang out.

"Sorry. I'm Seiya." He looked up and saw Samonie. "Your not the demonish one are you... Nah. Why are there two of you."

"Long story. Heh he, your the weird guy that visited my shop the other day. I see you found my mirror." She had a scroll in her hand. "You could see my light."

"Yes. Now if you don't mind could you tell me this long story." Seiya sat on the grass in front of the boulder the young maiden was sitting on.

"Why not." She slid down beside him. "Your just as curious as that little pink haired girl."

"Chibi Usa?"

"Why yes, I believe that was the name of the small one. Samonie will not give up till she finds her." Samonie glanced to the lake behind them. "My story should explain why this is so."

"Long, long ago, when I was but a small girl, I found the most wonderful boy in the world. His name was Horoshi. I loved him so much. We became friends as time went on. My love for Horoshi kept growing. I thought maybe someday he would realize how much I wanted him and hoped that he would want me back. Watching him date other girls and eventually women my heart grew to know hatred. I despised the women he dated so much. I saw as he made a change from but a tiny boy into a handsome man." She stroked her hand down the scroll. "Then one day the one for him came along. A beautiful lady named Kimiko, far better than I ever could dream of being. I guess I knew all along that I wasn't the right one for him, but for some reason I kept on dreaming of me and him with little children of our own. Heh he, I remember his crooked smile."

She gazed into the sky for a moment. "Where was I, oh yes. Then I met the demon named Samonie. I was kind of amazed that we shared the same name for some odd reason. Anyways, she had offered to make a deal with me."

"What was the deal?" Seiya questioned.

Her eyes watered. "I had grew so much hate in my heart for Kimiko I couldn't help but accept. The demon told me she would kill Kimiko if I sold her my body and soul. So I did and Kimiko feel terrible ill, Horoshi didn't leave her side for a moment. I had a twisted pleasure in seeing her slowly dying in front of me. After she passed away and he still wouldn't have me I realized what a fool I was. I couldn't bring myself to tell Horoshi that it was all my fault that his one true love had died. So I ran away from the village. I ran into the demon I had barged with, and was slaughtered by her hands. Now for so long I have been trapped in this world. Only free to roam the new Earth for minutes at a time." Samonie looked deep into Seiya's soul. "You've lost yourself haven't you. This is what she wants. The things that make you special in your own way. This will help her locate the orb she seeks. The Shi Orb. It also builds up it's power for hatred fuels its' very existence. It will destroy all even it's wielder."

"That's horrible and what does Chibi Usa have to with this? After all she's only a child." Seiya said.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? A person on this planet holds the Shi Orb within their body. The holder doesn't even know they have it. Samonie suspects that Chibi Usa has the orb since she found her way into this universe without any kind of entry."

"Oh, what does it mean if she does have it?" Seiya kept looking at the scroll in Samonie's hand.

"It means Chibi Usa must have a special ceremonies done to her for removal of the Shi Orb. If she's not the right person though this ceremony will cause her to suffer terrible pain and suffering. If she does somehow survive she will no longer be the little caring girl she was but a lifeless corpse."

"That's horrible. Why don't you do something to stop her? I mean she is in your body after all, right?" Seiya stood up and stretched.

"I wish I could, but I have no power. I am just a lonely sprit wandering forever as a lost soul. How I wish I could rest." She held the scroll close to her heart.

"If you don't mind me asking what is that?" Seiya questioned.

"Oh this." She looked down at the scroll. "It's a letter for my long lost love. Saying sorry for all the pain I have caused him to endure. It also let's him now that I still love him to this very day. I guess I knew all along that we were never meant to be. After Kimiko died, I saw a vision of the future. I saw Horoshi and Kimiko's child, and because of me she never had a chance to be alive. I've drawn a picture on this scroll with my letter to show him what she looked like. How beautiful she was, she would of made Horoshi the proudest father in the world. Don't do something stupid like I've done or you could end up destroying something much more beautiful than you could of ever imagined."

"I'm not destroying anything. I'm just fighting for my one and only love. A beautiful blonde named Usagi. She's the world to me. Without her life is pointless. I can't imagine how I would be if I never met her. I'd be so incomplete." Seiya stared at Samonie, "Don't say you made a mistake, you were just fighting for what should of been yours. For all you know it could of been you and him that got married and had that child."

"Your just like me when I was young." She pulled Seiya down to her height. "Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I felt the same way, but that was Kimiko's child not mine. I'm not stupid. So tell me what can't you and this Usagi be together, better yet I'll figure out for myself."

She pulled Seiya into her arms and kissed him. Seiya quickly pushed her away. "Blah! Blah! What was that for!! Are ya trying to kill me or something."

"No, but by doing that I was able to see your entire life. I'm sorry but you and her can never be and if you were even a little smart you could see why. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that." Samonie hid the scroll within her kimono sleeve.

"What would you know all you've seen is my life not hers. So that doesn't tell you anything!" Seiya snapped.

"Even you know enough if you would really think about it. Think really hard you'll see what I'm talking about." She replayed calmly to Seiyas' harsh tone.

The demon universe they were in flashed black and back to normal. "What's going on?" Seiya questioned.

"She grows weak when she's away from her home planet for awhile. Now she must leave for a while, but she will come back. This time at full power since she knows the way here. Goodbye young man."

She vanished along this the strange world. Seiya appeared outside where the store had once stood. It was now just an old building that was boarded up.

"What just happened?" Seiya stood their wondering around and confused.
