Chapter Ten

"Are you alright Starlight?" Taiki asked her she looked at him.

"Would you be alright if your best friend was trying to kill you?" She responded then looking down at the roof.

"Here let me help you up." Seiya said offering her a hand Starlight looked at his offer then took it. When she got to her feet she walked over to the side of the building and looked up at the moon then let out a heavy sigh.

"I'm not strong enough for this… I… I can't do it." Starlight said not wanting to look back at the three guys who stood behind her.

"You know who you sound like? You sound just like Serena." Seiya said walking over to her. "Starlight do you trust us." Seiya asked throwing her off.

"Why would you ask me that when all my trust is in you." She replied to him with a smile.

"Then if you trust us why not tell us everything." Yaten asked her walking up to her. She smiled at his comment.

"Okay then since I've been here I finally know who my parents are thanks to Atmosphere… I think I've always known deep down in my heart… I just didn't want to believe that I was lied to all my life… obviously Serena is my mother and my father isn't Darien." She spoke to them and again looked up at the sky.

"Who is he?" Taiki asked.

"Now I know who I was sent back to save and now I know why Neo queen Serenity chose me to do this." Starlight said looking over the side of the building.

"We'll help you find him if you want." Yaten offered to her.

"Thank you Yaten but I don't have to look for him he's right here." She said turning and looking at all three of them. Taiki and Yaten then turned and looked at Seiya.

"Don't tell me you didn't feel anything when we got around each other Seiya. When I first got here I had already felt a connection to you I just didn't know what it was till now." Starlight said her voice soft then she looked at Seiya she looked just like Serena in the way she looked.

"I may look just like her but she and I are so different." She said smiling at the group.

"So you were sent here to save Seiya?" Taiki stated.

"So that means…" Yaten started but didn't finish.

"Every attempt on Seiya or Serena's life puts my life in danger." Starlight said looking once again at the moon and stars above them. She suddenly got a weak feeling that came over her she became dizzy and grabbed her head.

"I think that we should all call it a night." She said walking by them like nothing was wrong with her. She went through the doors and headed back to her apartment. The three stared after her.

"What was that about? Yaten asked his brothers.

"There is something wrong with her I think." Taiki said Seiya nodded in agreement.

Back at Starlight's apartment she opened her door to find Amara sitting on her sofa with her arms crossed.

"Where did you go Starlight?" Amara asked.

"Not that it's any of your business but I went to try and clear my head." Starlight said to her and started to walk by her.

"You should not have gone by yourself." Amara said making Starlight stop in her tracks.

"Amara I know you are just concerned for me and I know you and the others saved my life more than once and I thank you for that but let me tell you something Amara…" Starlight said taking a look at her. "I'm going to try and say this as politely as I can…. Just because of who I am as a person or because you save my life doesn't give you the right to live my life for me it is my life to do with as I choose maybe you should think about your own life and how you choose to live before you decide that its your right to control someone else's life." Starlight said to her with a look that got her to back down. Then Starlight walked into her room and shut the door. The others in the room heard the door shut and then gathered around Amara who looked to be upset at the girl's words.

"Amara what made you think you could talk to her like that?" Michelle asked sitting next to Amara.

"Remember she may look like Serena but she's not her." Trista said looking at her door to her room.

"Hotaru what are you thinking about?" Michelle asked taking notice to her staring at Starlight's door.

"She knows now who exactly who her mother and father are and I sense that she's upset about it… she's confused and hurt.

"Trista, what is it?" Amara asked seeing her in thought as Hotaru finished her words.

"I was thinking about the time when small lady was turned against us how easily she was manipulated and I can see that happening with Starlight if we're not carful." Trista said looking worried.

"Small lady was just a child right Trista? Starlight is much older than what she was." Michelle said trying to easy her mind.

"That's true but wise man lied to her where this time it's all true she was lied to all her life." Trista said.

"She's too much like Serena to turn on us." Amara spoke out to the group.

"Amara she has proven to be nothing like Serena." Michelle pointed out.

"But… she does have the same kindness and love for others no matter what hand she's been dealt." Hotaru said looking at them.

The next day Serena and Seiya met with one another to discuss Starlight.

"So Seiya what did you find out about her?" Serena asked wanting to find out more about the girl who looked just like her.

"Well I found out who her parents are." Seiya said with a smile.

"Well tell me…" Serena said with anticipation.

"Well her mother is you if it wasn't obvious." He said folding his arms having a cocky look on his face.

"Okay then who's her father then?" Serena asked.

"Well… her father is…. Well her father is……. Me" He said looking not so cocky now. He watched Serena's reaction it was confusion, Seiya got closer to her and put his arm around her.

"I was shocked too Serena, believe me…." Seiya said while Serena looked at him then looked deep into his eyes.

"Well… I'm glad to be honest Seiya because… Well…. I decided to be with you…" Serena said closing in on his lips then Seiya finished the sealing kiss it was then they decided to go somewhere where now one would see them together.

Back at Starlight's apartment she woke up in a sweat after the dream that she had just had she had remembered the events leading up to her departure for the past.

She remembered a conversation between Sailor Pluto and the king taking place on that she had stumbled across.

"Why did I just remember that conversation the king and Pluto had before I left?" She asked herself holding her head then thinking about whether or not to tell any one about what she knew.
