Not So Much Of A Secret...Anymore
Moment of honesty Someone's gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
"Are you sure we should do this?" Usagi asked nervously as she made her way up the steps to Rei's temple. Her heart raced as she took one step closer to her friends that awaited her at the top. Usagi felt a warm hand squeeze hers causing her to stop and look at it's owner.
"I would like to tell them before it's too late since they are leaving tomorrow but if you don't want to tell them now then we don't have to. I just don't know how I will explain my absence on Kinmoku to Taiki and Yaten." Seiya replied sincerely. Usagi smiled sadly at Seiya and engulfed him in a hug.
"I forgot how much you were giving up today." She whispered in his ear.
"It's ok Odango, you're worth it." He reassured her. She let him go and they continued their journey up the stairs that led them to their new fate.
The Sol senshi and the remaining Starlights waited patiently. Tomorrow the Starlights were leaving with their Princess to return to their home and begin rebuilding it. Yaten was happy to return home, he was sick of all the girls screaming and chasing him. It annoyed him to the ends of the Earth. Taiki also shared the same feelings as Yaten, eager to return home and leave the fame behind. The Sol Senshi were just happy that the fighting was over and they could live in peace. Ami sat in a corner reading a book as she waited for Usagi to arrive, she had failed to notice that Seiya was also missing. She felt a slight nudge from her left. She turned and noticed Taiki staring at her curiously.
"Do you know why we are here?" He asked. Ami smiled and shook her head no. Taiki let out a sigh, he was becoming impatient and he was trying to contact Seiya but he couldn't reach him. 'Seiya where are you?' Taiki thought irritated.
"Where is Usagi?" Rei asked annoyed that the bunny had asked everyone to meet her at the temple but was nowhere in sight.
"I'm right here!" A bubbly voice yelled as she entered with Seiya behind her. Rei rolled her eyes. Usagi and Seiya entered the room and stood in the middle of room surrounded by their friends.
"Just get to the point already! I'm tired of waiting." Rei complained. Usagi took a deep breath.
"The reason why I called all you guys here...is because there's something I want to tell you. These past few months have been complete and utter chaos. With Galaxia and the Starlights coming to Earth and not knowing whether they were enemies or our allies and I didn't know what to do. But I had you guys, my senshi, by my side helping me along the way. Then we actually got to know the Starlights and we found out that they are incredible people. Yeah I know it was rough between us at first but we eventually all came together and became great friends." Usagi stated as she looked at everyone.
"So, what's your point again?" Minako asked confused. Usagi let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding.
"Well Minako-chan, throughout of all that we been through there was someone always there for me." Usagi grabbed Seiya's hand and looked up at him and smiled. He gently smiled back at her. Haruka quickly caught on to what was about to happen and anger boiled inside of her.
"HELL NO!" Haruka shouted at the two. Usagi flinched at the tone of the Wind senshi. Everyone else looked confused at what was happening. Michiru calmly grabbed Haruka's hand and held it as she spoke.
"Ruka, what's wrong?" Haruka glared daggers at the couple before her.
"She's in love with him. And she plans to be with him. I knew you should have stayed away from my Princess." Haruka spoke angrily towards Seiya. Seiya looked at her unfazed by anything she had to say, his and Usagi's minds were made up and no one could change that. Everyone gasped at Haruka's accusation.
"There's no way in the world she would do that. Right Usagi?" Rei asked. Tears pooled in Usagi's eyes as she confirmed what Haruka said. Rei shook her head in denial.
"Usagi! What about Crystal Tokyo and Chibiusa...what about Mamoru?" Rei yelled furiously at her best friend. Usagi shook her head.
"I know you are mad but-" Usagi started.
"Seiya! What about Kinmoku and our Princess?" Yaten interjected just as upset as anyone else. Seiya looked at his friend he had known for as long as he could remember. He could see the anger radiating off of Yaten in strong waves. He just shook his head sadly.
"I'm staying here to be with Odango." He replied quietly. Taiki gasped and Yaten tightened his fists, ready to strike his friend for the betrayal.
"You're staying here to be with her?" Taiki questioned. Seiya nodded his head. Taiki scoffed and rolled his eyes in disgust.
"You are not worthy to serve Kakyuu-hime!" Yaten spat. Seiya quietly took in everything that his comrades had to say but deep down he was hurting by the harsh things they were saying. Haruka walked up to the couple and grabbed Usagi's shoulders so she was looking her in the eyes.
"You are forbidden to see him anymore. You will pretend he doesn't exist and you will carry out your destiny like you are suppose to! You can't let some alien come and replace the Prince of Earth. Mamoru-san is your destiny." Haruka spoke harshly. Tears streamed down Usagi's face and she shook her head, not agreeing with what Haruka just told her.
"No. I love him. Shouldn't that be all that matters?" She asked looking desperately to the most protective senshi. Haruka hated to see her Princess cry but Usagi's actions were endangering the future they fought so hard to protect. Haruka shook her head in disbelief.
" I guess there's only one way to fix the situation." Haruka mumbled. She let go of Usagi's shoulders and in an instant her fist connected with Seiya's face. Seiya fell to the ground and Usagi was immediately by his side.
"Haruka!" She scream angrily. Usagi helped Seiya up from the floor. He wiped the blood that started to spill from his mouth, his eyes narrowed at Haruka and she simply smirked.
"Now was that really necessary?" He asked slightly pissed off.
"Until you get it through your thick skull that you can't be with my Princess, then I will use any means necessary to get rid of you." She replied.
"Haruka-chan please don't resort to violence. I don't like it when we fight. Can't we all just talk about it?" Usagi begged. Haruka glared at Seiya.
"You want to me to be ok with you dating this piece of-"
"ENOUGH!" A voice boomed. Everyone turned to the entrance of the room they were in. Mamoru stood staring with Princess Kakyuu beside him. His eyebrows furrowed up confused and anger. Haruka smiled to herself as she seen the Prince of Earth finally showed up to knock some sense into Usagi. Mamoru walked towards Seiya and Usagi and placed his hand on Seiya's shoulder.
"Are you ok Seiya-san?" Mamoru asked concerned. Seiya smiled and nodded to the older man. No one could believe what they were seeing.
"Mamoru-san, what's going on?" Makoto asked confused.
"Seiya and Usako, I mean Usagi are in love. I know they are. I can see it in her eyes when she talks about him. And it's fine by me. Usagi and I have drifted apart and she has found a new love and I'm happy for her." He replied smiling fondly. Setsuna had been quiet the whole time but now was her time to step in and save their future.
"You know this but you are allowing her to be with him? You know the consequences of you two straying away from your path of destiny! Small Lady won't be born." Setsuna spoke, trying to remain calm. Mamoru nodded his head in understanding.
"But is it right for Usagi and I to be tied to a destiny that we don't want anymore? It is ok for us to be tied down to a destiny and be un-happy the whole time? Isn't it selfish of everyone to MAKE us stay in this position even if it means sacrificing our happiness? " He questioned. No spoke a word, Mamoru had made a point that everyone couldn't argue against.
"Starlights, I understand that you believe that Seiya is betraying us by falling in love. But the heart can't help what the heart wants. He isn't betraying us at all. I have released Seiya from his senshi duty to be with the Moon Princess." Princess Kakyuu spoke gently. She went and hugged Seiya and Usagi. She stopped and stared at the Moon Princess a few minutes longer. Tears started to stream down the Fireball Princess' face.
"Usagi-san, all that I ask is that you take care of good care of Seiya and take great care of his heart. I have no doubt that you two will do good things together." Kakyuu whispered to Usagi. Usagi smiled and nodded her head. Haruka was still unsatisfied with today's events and decided to voice her opinion once again.
"I'm sorry Mamoru-san. I know that you are ok with this but I can't let this happen." Haruka spoke angrily. Mamoru shook his head sadly.
"If you love your Princess like you say you do then you would stand by her no matter what. If you guys are friends like Usagi believes you to be, you should want what makes her happy and Seiya-san makes her happy." He said. Usagi walked up to Haruka and took her hand.
"I'm not asking you love him now, I know that won't happen. Will you just give it a try? Get to know him and let me show you how much he makes me happy? Please?" Usagi asked humbly. Haruka looked at Mamoru then Seiya and Princess Kakyuu then back to Usagi. She felt outnumbered and she definitely didn't want to cause a strain between herself and her Princess.
"Hai..." She mumbled. Usagi happily threw her arms around Haruka and squeezed her tight.
"Go talk to Rei-chan." Haruka whispered to Usagi. Usagi walked over to her best friend and smiled at her. Rei looked at her indifferently.
"I hate you!" She yelled. Usagi looked taken back by the fiery priestess.
"W-why?" She mumbled on the verge of tears. Rei looked at Usagi and smiled.
"You always get the coolest boyfriends!" Rei and Usagi hugged each other and giggled.
"Mamoru-san is right, as long as Seiya makes you happy then...I guess I can be ok." Rei whispered.
"Arigato Rei." Usagi replied with a wide grin on her face.
