Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon!

Megumi sat in her bed staring at her bed sheets. The clock beside her bed clicked over to 1am. Her mind could not stop playing the scene that happened the night before. She closed her eyes as she tried to blink away the fresh tears that stung her eyes. She had no idea why, but the broach felt as if it was incredibly important. She took a deep breath seconds before some one gently knocked on her door.

"Meg? Can I come in?" Seiya's voice came through the door.

Megumi cleared her throat quickly. "Yeah." She said meekly.

Seiya opened the door and gazed at Megumi's sobbing form. "Why are you so upset? It's just a broach."

Megumi glanced over to Seiya. "I wish I knew. It had felt as if it was part of me."

Seiya sat on the edge of Megumi's bed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Was it a relative's?"

Megumi shrugged. "I do not know."

Seiya looked at her sheets. "I can buy you a new one."

Megumi shook her head. "It's not the same."

"Seiya?" Taiki asked as he walked into Megumi's room. "We need to figure out a alibi for Megumi having that broach. We can't have those girls nosing around."

Seiya nodded his head to Taiki. "I know. Megumi, can you tell any one who asks you about that broach that you found it in the park we found you at?" Seiya hesitantly asked.

Megumi looked away. "Did I know that girl before I…" Megumi choked.

Seiya looked over to Taiki with worry in his eyes. "I don't know."

"She knew that broach… she said it belonged to a Sailor moon! Who is this Sailor Moon?" Megumi pleaded.

Seiya shook his head. "I can't answer that…"

Taiki pressed his lips together. "This isn't good."

Suddenly, Yaten's voice over took the room. "Star Sensitive Inferno"

Seiya didn't have a chance to think. He leaped onto Megumi and took the full blow of the attack in his back.

Yaten charged into the room. Taiki grabbed a hold of Yaten to prevent him from hurting Seiya any more. Tears sprang from Yaten's eyes. "Why do you protect her? She is going to cost us our cover! With her around, we will never find our Princess!" Yaten screamed as he struggled against Taiki's strength.

"Seiya, Yaten is right. We need to get rid of her. She is our biggest obstacle now." Taiki said in a low voice, agreeing with Yaten's words.

Seiya tried to catch his breath. "You will not harm her! Understand!" Seiya growled. He closed his eyes tightly from the pain.

Megumi reached up to touch Seiya's cheek. "Why did you protect me?" She whispered as her eyes searched him for clues.

"Can we disguise her as a man?" Seiya chocked as he turned towards Yaten and Taiki. "If we can, why can't she?"

Yaten shook his head profusely. "She is a meaningless mortal! She needs to die! Even as a male she will blow our cover!"

Taiki nodded his head. "She is in fact, an airhead."

Seiya looked at the two in shock. "Why are you so desperate to kill her?" He clutched his hand into a first as he closed his eyes tightly. "It's not right!"

"She has something to do with that Sailor Moon." Taiki said as he rubbed his jaw line. "She had her broach, right?"

Seiya shook his head. "It's not the same broach! It is impossible!"

Taiki glared at him. "We need to get rid of her. She has something to do with Sailor Moon who could very easily be our enemy!"

Seiya bit his tongue. "You don't know that for a fact."

Yaten pushed past Taiki. "We can't risk the chance of her blowing our cover!"

Seiya shook his head. "Then I will guard her. I will not leave Megumi's side. Not until it is confirmed that she is in fact the enemy."

Yaten threw his arms in the air with frustration. "I can't believe this!"

Taiki nodded. "Fine. However, you better be sure to spend every second with her. If we find her unprotected, who knows what either of us will do to her."

Megumi grasped Seiya's arm in fear. She had never felt so scared in her entire life. Just that morning, they were all friends. Now… they were mortal enemies.

"You will never see her with out me by her side." Seiya promised as the other two walked out of the room.

"Seiya!" Megumi cried out as he collapsed on top of her. "We need to treat your wound!"

Seiya pushed himself off her by placing his hands on either side of her and looked down at her. "I could not let them kill you. You had not done anything wrong."

Megumi stared up at him in awe. She had never noticed before how handsome he was. She could not stop her heart from fluttering. "Let me look at you…"

Seiya leaned forwards and placed his forehead against hers as he closed his eyes. "I'm sorry that this happened. I…" With out warning, Seiya collapsed on top of her. She pushed him from her and rolled him onto his stomach so she could examine his wound.

"Oh, wow… this is bad." Megumi said as she examined the wound. She quickly rushed over to the bath room and grabbed some gaze, bandages, tape, and hydrogen peroxide. She ran back to her room before the other two noticed her. She quickly applied the peroxide to Seiya's wound which foamed up instantly. Seiya cringed as he started to stir. "Don't move. I'm cleaning your wound." Seiya remained still as Megumi hesitantly poured some more on his wound. Megumi patted the wound dry before applying some bandages. "The good news is, you will live." Megumi joked.

Seiya rolled over and smiled at her. "Thanks, nurse." He joked.

Megumi stared down at him in awe. "I still can't believe you took that for me."

Seiya reached up and grabbed her wrist. "Why wouldn't I?"

Megumi blushed. "Because they are on the same mission as you."

Seiya sat up in Megumi's bed and got inches before her face. "We are on the same mission, however we are not the same people." He leaned closer to her and Megumi blushed under his stare. "I have my own feelings." He took her hand and placed it on his heart. "My heart says you need to live."

Megumi found her own heart fluttering as Seiya tilted his head to the side and placed his other hand on the back of her neck. He gently pulled her closer to him and Megumi's heart went on a rampage. She watched as he closed his eyes. Was she suppose to close her eyes as well? She felt like freaking out. What had come over Seiya? She closed her eyes slowly and waited for what ever Seiya would do to her. Within seconds, Seiya's snickers were heard. Megumi quickly snapped her eyes open to see him grinning down at her. "Did you think I would really kiss you? Man, I must be really irresistible!"

Megumi punched him in his shoulder. "Yeah, right!"

Seiya got comfortable in her bed. "Good night."

Megumi looked down at him wide eyed. "If you think you are sleeping in the same bed as me, you have another thing coming!" Megumi fumed.

Seiya looked up at her with one eye open. "Would you feel better sleeping with me as a girl?"

Megumi blushed. "NO!"

Seiya closed his eyes. "Aw! So you prefer me as a guy!"

Megumi grabbed a pillow and slammed it on his head. "Why I otta!"

Seiya burst out laughing as he grasped her wrist and she dropped the pillow. Seiya quickly claimed her lips and sent her flying backwards onto her bed. He quickly rolled on top of her as he used his body weight to pin her down. He slowly released her lips and gazed down at her. Megumi was speechless. "I'm sleeping with you for now on. I don't want anything to happen to you. Understood?"

Megumi was speechless to his words. What could she say? He was suddenly so forceful. It was as if he could no longer keep his emotions under control. Megumi slowly nodded her head.

"Good." Seiya rolled off her and cover himself with her sheets. "Good night."

Megumi could feel his body heat next to her in her bed. She didn't know what to do. "Uh, good night."

Rei walked over to the scouts the following morning. They were meeting in their usual place but this time the outer scouts decided to join them.

"What is the drastic emergency?" Haruka grumbled as she took a chug of her drink.

Michiru giggled by her side. "She isn't a morning person."

Rei glared at Haruka. "I found a missing link." She informed the group. Rei turned her attention towards the inner scouts. "I think Megumi, the sister of the Three Lights knows something." She then took a package from her pocket and tossed it onto the table. "Megumi dropped this…"

Ami took the bag and opened it. She gasped along with the others as Sailor Moon's broach fell from the bag and onto the table. "This means…" Ami whispered.

"Right, we need to corner that girl as soon as possible. However, there's more." Rei pushed Minako to the side as she stole Minako's drink. "She was there when Sailor Moon was, and she had the broach at the same time Sailor Moon did."

Ami shook her head. "That is impossible! Only Sailor Moon can have this broach!"

Rei clicked her tongue. "I know. I'm still baffled myself."

Haruka grabbed the broach. "If this is Sailor Moon's broach, then Sailor Moon can not save the victums. Right?" Haruka glared at everyone.

"Right." Rei affirmed.

"Then we need to find out who is the next one attacked to see if we can find Sailor Moon."

Megumi woke up late the next morning to the sounds of dishes clanging in the kitchen. She rolled over to see Seiya's naked back as he slumbered beside her. She could not take her eyes off his muscular back. His long raven hair was loose and is was scattered over the pillow and bed. She touched his silky hair in awe. Seiya rolled over and opened his eyes. Megumi sucked in her breath.

Seiya smiled softly. "Good morning, Odango."

Megumi blushed slightly. "Good morning."

Seiya shifted his upper body from the bed and hoisted himself up on his arm so he could admire her better. "Are you hungry?"

Megumi heard the sound of a pot fall in the kitchen and Yaten yell at the top of his lungs. The previous night's memories flooded her mind. "Yes." She said.

"I'll take you out to a diner." Seiya informed her before he started to get out of the bed.

"Wait… Why can't we eat here?" Megumi questioned as she grabbed Seiya's elbow.

Seiya released a sigh. "Those two are extremely dedicated to their mission, and they now see you as the greatest threat around. In our trainings, we are told to never allow anything to jeopardize our Princess." Seiya looked towards the floor where his shirt laid in a heap.

"Then… why are you protecting me?" Megumi questioned in a soft tone. She released his elbow as he leaned over to grab his shirt.

Seiya grabbed his shirt and started to pull in over his head. "To be honest, I have no idea why. I just feel that… you're important as well." He pulled his shirt over his head and turned to her. "I will protect you. Even if it costs me my life."

Megumi caught her breath. His determined look told her she had nothing to worry about. She had no idea why, but she felt at peace with him. "Seiya…"

Seiya grinned at her. "If you excuse me, I need to take a shower and such. I want you to lock the door behind me and don't allow either of them in this room. Understood?"

Megumi nodded her head and watched as Seiya stood up and walked over to her door. He placed his hand on the doorknob. He felt bad about leaving her alone, however he could not subject her to seeing him naked. He opened the door and peaked out to see that Taiki and Yaten were sitting at the table eating their breakfast. Seiya left the room and closed the door behind him. With in seconds, he heard the doorknob click.

"Seiya-kun. Come here for a moment." Taiki's voice sliced through Seiya's thoughts. Seiya turned his attention to his allies. They both stared at him with dull expressions.

"I have nothing to say to you two." Seiya informed them as he headed towards the bathroom door.

"You know, if you side with her, you are also our enemy." Yaten said bluntly.

Seiya stopped in the hall. He was frozen. How could they accuse him of being their Princess's enemy? "I assure you both, I am not the enemy. I will do everything in my power to bring our Princess back."

Taiki leaned forward. "Then get rid of the girl. She will only attract enemies. Her life is meaningless. She is just a worthless human."

Yaten nodded his head in agreement. "She is nothing that should be allowed to threaten our mission! If she is discovered to not be our sister, but a missing girl, she will endanger our mission."

Seiya cringed. "Then, I will do everything I can to prevent this discovery." Seiya then marched to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Haruka stopped her motorcycle outside of the Three Lights apartment building. She pushed her visor up and looked at the crumbled piece of paper she had. She glanced at the building's address before she un-mounted her motorcycle and took off her helmet. She kicked the foot into place and hung her helmet on the handle of her motorcycle. The other scouts had no idea that she was there. Haruka had to get to the bottom of this situation. If this Megumi girl was a key, she had to use her to unlock the door to save Usagi. She turned and walked towards the building. She was determined to find the person she was looking for. She walked over to the main desk and leaned on it. A red haired woman sat behind the counter. When she gazed upon Haruka, she blushed. "How-how may I help you, sir?"

Haruka smirked. She would use this to her full advantage. "Hello, I am suppose to meet up with Kou Megumi. Could you tell me what floor her and her brothers live on?"

The girl nodded her head and turned to her computer. "The Kous are located on this floor, and here is their room number." The woman scribbled the information on a sticky note and handed it to Haruka. "Are you going to perform with the Three Lights?"

Haruka placed the paper below her chin and winked at the girl. "Maybe."

Seiya rubbed the towel violently on his head. The shower had made him feel a hundred times better. Now all he had to do was get Megumi to the shower with out attracting the other two. He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. Taiki and Yaten were sitting on the sofa, practicing with their instruments. Seiya knocked lightly on Megumi's door. Megumi made some noises before he heard her fall against the door. "Who is it?"

Seiya chuckled. "It's me."

Megumi unlocked the door and Seiya opened the door. His eyes fell instantly on the window behind Megumi. He could not believe it, but a man with blond hair was standing outside the window, glaring in at the two of them. Seiya pushed Megumi out of the way as the blond guy shattered the window. Seiya blocked the glass from cutting his face with his arms. "Who the fuck are you?" He shouted.

Haruka landed infront of him and punched him to the side. "I have nothing to say to you."

Seiya stumbled a few stepps before he regained himself. He turned his attention towards Megumi. He knew instantly what his target was. "Megumi! Run!" He screamed. Yaten and Taiki rushed to the doorway as Megumi tried to get off the ground. Haruka was faster then she was though. Haruka wrapped her arm around Megumi's neck. Megumi began to gag.

"Where did you find it? Where did you get the broach?!" Haruka hissed.

Megumi looked towards Yaten and Taiki who just watched in shock. She could not see where Seiya was. "I-I found it in-in the park." She gasped.

Haruka looked towards the two guys in the doorway. "Where is Sailor Moon?"

Yaten crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the doorframe. "Beats me where this Sailor Moon is."

Taiki glared at Haruka. "Do you plan to pay for this mess?"

Haruka pulled Megumi closer to her. However, before she could say another word, Seiya slammed into her back. "Let her go, Bastard!" Seiya shouted.

Haruka stumbled forward. She looked back at Seiya. However, Haruka said nothing. She rushed towards the window, clutching Megumi to her chest. She had what she wanted. The Three Lights meant nothing to her. She then leaped onto the balcony below. Seiya rushed over to their window. "Megumi!" He cried out as Haruka glared up at him.

"You want Megumi back? Then, give us Sailor Moon." With those words, Haruka vanished taking Megumi with her.

Seiya looked back at the other two. "We need to go save her!"

Yaten threw his chin in the air. "Not on your life!"

Taiki placed his hand on Yaten's shoulder. "This time, I agree with Seiya. She still knows our secrete. She can still blow our mission."

Seiya nodded his head as Yaten cursed under his breath. "Fine, we'll go save her."

A/N: I know, Yaten and Taiki are portrayed as "Bad Guys" in this chapter. We just need to remember how they were in the series. They were dedicated to their mission to find their princess. I just used that in this chapter. We all know that they had killed phases on their planet so I figured that if a mortal became a threat, they would kill her as well. Don't worry, just like in the anime, they'll come around. I can't let them be bad guys! At least, not for long! LOL Please review and check out my site to stay updated on when a new chapter is coming out! Fanfic. Myinterests. com Yeah, I know... shocked that I did not follow the next episode? Don't worry, most likally, the next chapter will have the next phase in it as well.
