AN: Thanks for the reviews! Enjoy :)

Seiya had never understood why he felt connected to Naomi. He knew it wasn't love because his heart only belonged to one girl. 'No. She feels almost like…' The boy had always been a people person and got along with everyone, but it didn't' mean he always felt comfortable with just anyone. She wasn't just anyone to him though '…almost like another Taiki and Yaten… like family.' He couldn't explain it.

"So how are you and Usagi-san?" Naomi asked. Over the past few weeks, she hadn't followed them around as often. She stopped because Luna was watching over Usagi and now that the senshi had found out about the break-up, she realized they would approve of their relationship if they ever even start one. Also, Naomi was too busy nowadays to constantly follow Usagi. She was busy dealing with the occasional wraith attacks as well as trying to control the new power that was inside of her. She knew what it is and what had caused it so she sought to control it which meant long periods of meditation to mold the power into her own. So she honestly did not know how Usagi and Seiya's relationship had progressed.

"It's alright I suppose," he blushed and absently scratched his cheek. "She still has feelings for him even after what he did to her…" he gritted his teeth but calmed himself before continuing, "but they have a long history together so it will take her some time to accept me."

"Oh. Well… as long as the both of you are happy…" Naomi didn't know how to feel at this point. She had hoped that Usagi didn't have anymore feelings regarding Mamoru but she knew that the girl had a bigger heart than anyone else – Usagi had a heart that was willing to forgive anyone, even those who had hurt her. Naomi sighed. Noticing her sigh, Seiya felt inclined to ask her how she's been doing.

"Never better!" Naomi faked a wide smile at Seiya.

He didn't buy it, "If you say so." A mischievous smile flashed across his face as he thought of a way to provoke her, "Someday my good-looks will melt Mimi-chan's cold heart." He turned and was about to wink at her when he saw her reaction. He was hoping that she would be blushing, laughing, or even teasing back. But what he saw was not one that he had ever expected – she looked at him in horror as a single tear trickled down her face.

"What did you just call me?" He could barely hear her as she whispered.

"What's wrong Seito-san?" Seiya frowned in concern.

But at the use of her fake name, she looked down at the ground and just shook her head. 'There's no way he could know who I am or even remember nickname.' She lowered her head even more so that her hair covered the tears she was trying to control.

Worried by her reaction, Seiya grabbed her by her shoulders and forced her to look at him. "Please, let me help you."

At his words, the wall that was guarding her emotions fell. Until now, she had never let herself think or even feel – Naomi always forced herself to hold everything inside to complete her task. But everything she felt when meeting the senshi again… the thoughts of Chibi-Usa and the future… everything came crashing down on her at Seiya's words. 'I'm not alone… because even at this time when he doesn't know who I am, he's still here for me.'
She sobbed hard as Seiya pulled her in and embraced her tightly. It had hurt him to see her cry so painfully. The pain was not like when he saw Usagi cry though… it was just knowing that a strong-willed girl, a friend, had broken down meant that it was something extremely upsetting. Being the kind guy he is, he just let her continue to cry in his chest.

After a while, she had calmed down. "Sorry Seiya-san, someone use to call me that and it just brought back a lot of memories." She continued to sniffle as he backed up a little from her.

"What happened?" He looked down at her and smiled, hoping to comfort her.

"He died."

"Sorry," he shifted uncomfortably, "you must have been close to him."

"He was my favourite uncle and one of my best friends. He was a lot of fun. You would've liked him." She gave him a small smile.

He smiled back, "I'm sure I would have." They walked towards the park a short ways away and sat down on a bench to continue talking. As they talked, Naomi thought back to all the times she had with her uncle – all the pranks, all their games in the garden, all the times he would tell her stories. There was one particular incident that she would never forget though…

An older man and a young girl were strolling through a garden, laughing, "MiMi did you know how famous your uncle was? All the girls would swoon at his good looks!" He struck a pose as she rolled her eyes.

"Sure they would Sei-jiji. Then why don't you have a girlfriend? I thought you would be able to pick anyone you want!" She teased but instantly noticed he had gotten serious.

"I guess I could have," Seiya looked out into the distance and smiled weakly, "but I only wanted the one I couldn't have." His voice was full of pain and his eyes were unfocused.

Miya looked at him curiously. "Who is it?"

Deciding to change the topic, Seiya looked back down at the girl and chuckled, "Mimi is such a curious girl!" He scooped her up in his arms and started tickling her. But from then on, Miya would know that her uncle Sei-jiji was thinking about 'that girl' whenever he held the same painful look on his face. She never brought up the topic again.

The two continued to talk and laugh, watching the sky as it grew darker.

As usual, Usagi was staring out at the starry night lost in her thoughts. Many thoughts ran through her head as usual but tonight she had focused on a few. She was troubled by the fact that she still felt that she should be with Mamoru even though he 'cheated' on her. But now that she had realized her feelings for Seiya, she was happy… finally happy. All the discomfort she had felt the past year that they were apart had disappeared and she had found the peace that she lacked. She continued to gaze out into the stars and didn't even realize the black cat that had slid onto the balcony with her.

"Usagi-chan?" She spoke cautiously, trying to see if Usagi would allow her company.

Usagi just turned to see Luna staring at her with worry in her eyes. She smiled at her friend as she crouched down to pet her. "Luna."

Luna took it as her signal to continue speaking. "What's on your mind Usagi-chan? Maybe I can help you."

"It's just…" then she shook her head and said it was nothing while she plastered on a fake smile. Having known her for so many years, Luna saw right through it.

"You're concerned about all the attacks and the future aren't you?"

Usagi sighed and sat on the balcony floor, leaning on the walls of it as she looked back up at the stars again. 'Leave it to Luna to tell exactly what I'm thinking about.' She knew that she could always confide in Luna, even the dreadful secret she had kept for years. "Sometimes, I just wish I wasn't Serenity. I mean I'm glad that I met everyone because I am. But I've always wished that I was a normal teenage girl and now…" she trailed off.

"…you feel trapped in your destiny." Luna finished for her. Usagi nodded, clearly ashamed of thinking that way, a few tears fell from her eyes as she closed them. "It's ok Usagi-chan. You can change your destiny if you really want to." Luna laid a paw on the girl's knee as she continued, "the future is always changing but what hasn't changed is everyone's love for you. They all just want to see you happy."

"I know but we've seen what will happen and I love Chibi-Usa." She neglected to mention that she also loves Seiya, which Luna picked up on. The cat shook her head.

"And she loves you very much too but," a few more tears ran down Usagi's face, "I know she'll want you to be happy too. Pluto says the future will be better if you follow your heart right?" Luna stopped abruptly. She wanted to tell Usagi that Chibi-Usa will be fine or just anything that could comfort her, but she didn't want to lie to the girl. From her conversation with Pluto and Miya, Luna knew that Chibi-Usa would cease to exist if Usagi really followed her heart. The thought of it made her want to cry but she held back the tears to keep a strong front for Usagi. "No matter what happens, we'll get through it together. Like we always do." Luna smiled warmly at Usagi as her eyes were shimmering with tears.

Hearing her guardian/advisor comfort her, Usagi smiled, "Thank you Luna. You always know what to say."

"You know what is in your heart Usagi. You just have to listen to it. We'll all be here for you… always." Usagi picked up her friend and gave her a hug as she whispered thank you to her, Luna finally let the tears fall down her face.

MiMi - NaoMI and MIya
Sei-jiji - Ojisan means uncle in Japanese (kids actually use 'jiji' because it sounds cuter)

Hope everything makes sense now!
