Chapter 9- Usagi's Broken Heart

When Seiya, Usagi, and Chibi Usa exited the ice rink they saw Yaten sitting alone. "Where did Luna go?" Seiya questioned.

"She said she had to go back home." Yaten's tone is depressed sounding and he looks as if he could cry. "I need to do the same thing. Go home... home... what is home exactly?"

"Yaten?" Seiya pauses. "What are you talking about what's home? Your confusing me."

"Nothing." He stands up and walks away. "I'm going back to our apartment."

Seiya watches him walk off until he is no longer visible. He sets Chibi Usa back on the ground. "You two need to be going home too, your mother is probably very worried about you by now. After all it's getting very dark."

"Aren't you going to walk us home?" Usagi asked while walking closer to him.

With each step forward that she took, he would take a step back. "You know the way home!" Seiya began walking off.

Usagi's heart filled with pain. "Why can't he understand what I'm trying to tell him." Usagi looks down at Chibi Usa, she smiles at her. "Come, let's go home."

'Seiya, I do love you,' she thinks to herself, 'but Mamoru and I are soul mates. I couldn't ever picture myself without him. Then there's also Chibi Usa. If me and Mamoru don't get married then she'll... I don't want to even think about it. They're the people I would die for, my family, my love.'

She couldn't help but feel absolutely horrible inside for causing Seiya's heart so much pain. Usagi never meant to hurt him, she just can't return his feelings. She would questioned why he had to love her, why not someone else? After all she's not the best girl out there.

When Usagi and Chibi Usa arrived home she immediately went to her room. Trying to call Seiya over and over. There was no answer. After the fifth time calling she decided to give up. "I know I'll talk to him at school tomorrow."

She sat still for awhile, thinking about Seiya. Inside she felt as if it was her fault for Seiya's pain. In a way it was, but she couldn't help how she acted towards him. 'I really do love Seiya,' she thought to herself, 'but not in that way. Why did I have to kiss him? It was accident after all. What's wrong with me!'

Usagi slammed her body into her bed. "Aghhhhh!!" She groaned, then sighed. That night Usagi cried herself to sleep.

In the morning

Ami was surprised when she arrived at school and found that Usagi was already there. "What are you here so early for?" Ami walked over towards her.

"I was hoping I could talk to Seiya before school started, but it appears he isn't hear yet." Usagi looked down at her feet.

"Well I'm sorry but I have to get into our class. I have to speak with the teacher before class starts. I'll see you soon." Ami walked into the building.

Minako ran right past Usagi, in too much of a hurry to notice that Usagi was standing right outside the door of the building. The tardy bell rings, and Minako's shouts can be heard throughout the school. She walks into class. "How can Usagi be here on time while I'm still late!"

Minako looks around. "Usagi?"

Ami finally takes her nose out of the book she was reading. Looking around, she too notices that Usagi's not in the room. "Strange?"

"What do you mean?" Minako scratched her head.

"Usagi was right outside the building when I got here, so there's really no reason for her to be late today." Ami also notices that Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki are all missing. Ami looked into Minako's eyes.

"Something's wrong." Minako placed her hand over her heart. "Usagi's hurt inside, but why? What isn't she telling us."

The finally gets annoyed with them and says. "Can you two please keep it down, and you, Minako, take a seat otherwise I'll see you after school for detention!"

"Yes ma'am." Minako bows quickly and sits at her desk.

At the three lights hotel room

"So are you guys ready to tell me what's bothering you?" Taiki asked for the millionth time.

"Fine!" Yaten groaned. "I finally discovered what love is and I want it from only one lady. Luna, the most beautiful maiden in the world. It is only her I wish to have in my arms. She's different from all the other girls on Earth. I finally understand what Seiya has been going through with his feelings for Usagi."

Seiya glared at Yaten. "You have no idea what love is!! You don't understand me so don't even pretend you do! If you loved Luna so much you wouldn't be sitting on you lazy but here! You'd be out there trying to win her heart before some other loser claims her for himself. Some bum that's you know doesn't deserve her love; someone who won't treat her the way they should, a man that she can do much better than, yet she still choose to be with him... instead of you..."

Taiki sat in his chair wide eyed. "Sorry I asked."

Yaten furiously walked out of the room and slammed the door.

"Why did you have to lose your temper over nothing?" Taiki calmly asked Seiya.

"Because he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about!" Seiya threw a lamp at him.

Taiki dodged the lamp. "Well if that's how your going to be you can stay here alone in you own misery."

That was exactly what Seiya did, he sat there weeping in his own misery. "What is wrong with me!!" He cried. "I probably have hurt my love very badly and now I've made my two best friends hate me by throwing a stupid fit. Why must I do stupid things?"

"It's okay we all go through our bad times but we know it a be okay." A voice said ringing through his head.

"Usagi?" He turned around quickly. There was no one in the room besides his lonely self. "It was just my imagination. Why must I get mad at her only to miss her so much?"

Seiya felt a strange feeling race throughout his body. "What?" Something was telling him to look outside the window. He slowly made his way over to the window, opened it, and looked out. To his eyes surprise he saw Samonie had returned. "No! Not so soon, this will ruin my plans to win her heart. Especially after how much I have hurt her."

Looking closer he notice blood on her hands. "Where did that blood come from? There no way that's hers otherwise she wouldn't be walking so normal."

Yaten walks inside. "What are you doing?"

He pointed. "Samonie, she's back already!"

Yaten dashed over to look out. "Blood?" He began remembering Michiru's last words to him. I'm doing this because it's just something I must do. If you don't see me for at most five days, tell everyone that I said Goodbye.'

"Seiya!" Yaten cried. "I think I know who's blood that is!"

"Who's, who's tell me know." Seiya shook him farcically.

"Michiru, it's been over five days. She says goodbye!" Yaten began crying. "Why am I crying? She's just another person in this enormous universe to me."

Seiya cried along with him. "Because she was friend and you care about her and miss her."

"I want to be positive about her death before we tell the others." Yaten ran out the door.

Seiya followed. Yaten began to transform. "HEALER STAR POWER... MAKE-UP!"

Seiya watched silently as Yaten transforms into Sailor Star Healer. 'How I miss being Fighter,' he thought, 'I gave it up for Usagi, a girl who will never love me back, was it really worth it?"

"Seiya transform NOW!!!" Yaten screamed. "Don't you want to find out about Michiru, we're not going to intimidate her looking like you. After all as Seiya your just another human, plain like everyone else."

He began to think of Luna. "Never mind, not all humans are plain. Anyways, hurry up and come on."

"Yaten, there's something I need to tell you." Seiya looked down at his feet in shame.

"What would that be?" Yaten raised an eyebrow.

"I can no longer become Sailor Star Fighter. I am just another human man, like all the other men that inhabit this Earth."
