Sailor Star Sapphire
Chapter 15: Heartache
…..
Miyuki's POV
I was in awe at the lower apartment room from Seiya-nee's place, while Seiya was giving my childhood friend a tour he said I could go visit Taiki and Yaten, the Princess might be there resting. So here I am standing in front of the door, looking nervously at the doorknob until I felt courage and opened the door after using the key Seiya gave me. I walked in looking around after closing the door behind me, I couldn't find Yaten or Taiki in their rooms but when I walked into the living room I gasped.
"Oh! S-sorry."
I squeaked out feeling embarrassed to see their Princess standing by the sliding glass door to the balcony, she was surprised to see me but smiled kindly.
"It is alright. You must be this Miyuki, Seiya, and Taiki tell me so much about." She walked over smiling so gently, that I felt my cheeks get warm she was beautiful like Usagi.
Then my face got hotter, when she said Seiya and Taiki talk about me I felt so embarrassed. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt her grab my face gently smiling softly at me.
"They told me you were beautiful, but what they told me don't do you justice, my dear."
"O-oh my- Th-thank you, Princess Kakyuu. Your words are just too kind. You are just as beautiful most likely even more so than me." I bashfully told her being modest, I never see myself as 'beautiful' or 'pretty' or even 'gorgeous'.
She giggles and drops her hands back to her side.
"So modest. But thank you too. Now I take it you are the Sailor Star Sapphire? My Starlights informed me."
I nodded "Correct, and it seems I'm the reincarnation of the late Princess Sapphire of Crystal Star Kingdom."
Her eyes widen, and she puts her hands to her mouth in shock then she grabs my hands in hers.
"It's truly you. You may not remember me, but we are close friends. I would always come to visit your Kingdom...it broke my heart when I heard your Kingdom was destroyed. I thought I lost my dear friend, but now. It's so good to see you, again."
I was taken aback, and blushing as the Princess threw herself at me, hugging me. I return the hug shyly until she pulls away when the front door opens and Alice and Seiya came walking in seeing me talking with the Princess...oh crap, Alice doesn't know about the whole Sailor Scout stuff.
"It seems you two were having a good friendly chat." Seiya look so overjoyed.
Kakyuu giggles, then she notices Alice she smiles kindly causing her cheeks to turn pink.
"Hello, are you friends with my Starlights as well dear?"
She blinks but shyly nods "In a way? I just met Seiya-kun today, but I am Miyuki-chan's childhood friend. Actually, I'll be living down below so if you need any help I'm your girl~."
She smiles kindly "It's nice to meet you then, and oh my that sounds wonderful."
"Y-yeah. Names, Alice Stone."
She reaches her hand out to the Princess for a handshake, she was confused at first but understood what she had to do. She held her hand shaking it gently.
"It's nice to meet you, Alice-san."
Seiya moves over to his Princess's side smiling.
"Alice-chan, this is Princess Kakyuu."
She blinks, and blinks...and blinks until she gasps in horror.
"Y-you mean I've been being c-casual towards her?!" She shouts out as her voice gets a bit high and squeaky making us laugh, she pouts glaring playfully at us. "Stop laughing at my rudeness! But wait...I'm confused about the whole Princess thing."
"Oh um... How about we tell you everything, while we cook some dinner? I think Yaten-kun and Taiki-nii are out somewhere."
Seiya nods "True, I must have forgotten. Forgive me for leaving you alone Princess." He went on one knee, and his right arm across his chest bowing in respect.
She just smiles gently "There is no need for me to forgive you. You were just cooling off is all."
He stood back on his feet, and we went into the kitchen to start cooking and even the Princess wanted to join in the fun. So while Seiya, me, and the Princess told Alice everything she was in shock mostly at the fact I was the reincarnation of a dead Princess from the outer system. We were laughing mostly because we were throwing flour at each other, even Princess Kakyuu joined in the fun until she went to get cleaned up feeling exhausted. She wanted Seiya to sing to her first, and he gladly did even Alice was giddy to hear him sing.
I told her she could go listen while I cooked the dinner, it didn't take me too long maybe five minutes when Seiya stopped singing, hearing him and Alice whispering softly. It seems the Princess was very exhausted and fell asleep, I didn't hear the front door open and close hearing voices. I turn off the stove and set the table, place the pot in the middle of the kitchen table, and walk to the living room smiling brightly.
"Seiya-nii, Alice-chan, Princess dinner...is done- Oh! Uhh Hi, Taiki-nii, Yaten-kun." I grew nervous, seeing the not-so-happy look on Yaten's face. Taiki's thoughts brighten seeing me.
"Miyuki-nee! It's good to see you, but...why are you here?"
"Oh um, my childhood friend came to move here but I have no room back at my place, and Seiya-nii told Alice-chan and me the room below you guys is empty and she can rent it out."
"Ah, I see. Then you must be the childhood friend, of our Miyuki-nee?" Taiki looks at the blushing Alice, who is in awe.
She nods "H-hai, Alice Stone. Sorry for intruding, but Seiya-kun was kind in showing me around my new place, and I met Princess Kakyuu- she's very sweet and wonderful." She gushes.
"Thank you for your kind words, Alice-san. Now, did you say dinner was done Miyuki-nee?"
"Oh! Yep! I hope you guys didn't mind, and the Princess wanted to help cook dinner for you guys. But it seems she was so exhausted from all the fun, oh and dinner is done~"
Ignoring the glare Yaten was giving me, I kept my bright smile on my face grabbed his hand, and dragged him to the kitchen with the others following. I did hear them snickering behind us, I dropped his hand to pull out a chair for him winking at him as I gestured to his seat.
"Your seat good sir~"
His eyes widen a bit with red cheeks, he lowers his head hiding the fact he is blushing, and quickly sits down making me giggle pushing him and his chair closer as the others sit down. Taiki pulled out a chair for their Princess, while Seiya did the same to Alice. We all had a comforting silence and some normal chat of our day and the guys and the Princess asked Alice many questions to get to know her while Yaten stayed silent, most of the time.
"Oh! Yuki-Cat! Remember that one time, when we first met how I was being bullied and you stood up to me by taking them down with kindness?"
My eyes brighten, then turn bashful scratching my cheek sheepishly as everyone looks at me with amusement and curious stares.
"Y-yeah, I didn't believe in violence and I wanted to solve the bullying problem and I noticed they acted out like that cause their parents fought all the time, and their mom and they got hit by their father."
Alice snorts and points her chopsticks at me "Yeah, and when you smiled as you told her 'you shouldn't say mean things cause it's wrong and it's okay to cry if you're in pain'. and she just burst out crying and I'm not shitting you that missy," points at me making my whole face turn red. "She walked over to her and HUGGED her, and then she followed Yuki-Cat like a duckling...it's sad though what happened to her though..."
I froze, swallowing a big lump in my throat what?
"Wh-what do you mean...?"
She froze, looking down at her plate eyes widening in horror.
"Alice-chan..." My bangs cover my eyes, as dread hits my heart. "Please...tell me, what did you mean by what you said."
"...I-I thought you knew, I shouldn't have said anything, s-sorry."
I felt the air in the kitchen grow tense with awkwardness and concern, lips straight.
"It's okay...tell me, Alice-chan."
She sighs "You remember the day you left to move back here?" I nodded slowly, feeling the ache in my heart, I knew what she was going to say but I didn't want to believe it, please god not her...not Amelia. "...Her dad went insane, it happened so fast. He took a gun and..."
Pain...Amelia was close to me like Alice-chan is, they both were like my sisters and I was like their big sister, and guilt hit me, it's my fault. I never felt this much hate, for myself. I shot up causing the chair to tip backward shocking everyone, and slam my hands on the table glaring at a shock Alice, with tears welling up in my eyes.
"Liar! Amelia isn't dead! I promised her I'd be back for her! She...she was going to come live with me along with her mother!" My heart rate was going higher and higher same with my breathing, suddenly pain erupted from my chest causing me to cry out in pain holding my chest in pain, and falling down.
Many shouts of my name hit my ears that was now ringing loudly, and I couldn't hear the muffled panic voices. I did feel familiar warm arms holding me close to their chest...black dots slowly covered my vision seeing Yaten's beautiful eyes looking at me with concern look tears in his eyes. I didn't like seeing that, so I placed my hand on his cheek.
"Do-don't...cry..." I could only get those words out before I fainted in his arms.
"M-Miyuki-chan!?"

Tsukino Residance
No One's POV
Usagi sniffles as she places her phone back down in another attempt to call her beloved Mamoru, but she still gets his answering machine. She needed him so much, that it caused her heart to ache in pain. She blinked away the tears when her phone went off, thinking it was her Mamo-chan, but to her sadness, it was not him but a voice she never heard before.
"U-um, is this...Usagi Tsukino?"
"Hai, who is this?"
"Um, I know we haven't met formally but my name is Alice Stone, and Miyuki-chan is my childhood friend and Seiya-kun gave me your number...s-so you know."
The dumpling head frowns hearing the crack of the girl's voice, like she's been crying and still crying.
"O-oh, is something wrong? You sound like you've been crying... Are Miyuki-chan and Seiya-kun okay?"
There was silence, and a painful agonizing sob hit her ears, causing dread to hit the Princess of the Moon.
"H-hello? Are you okay?"
She heard someone taking the phone, and to her relief, Seiya's voice spoke but...it sounded so sad and in pain.
"Hello, Odango..."
"Seiya-kun? What's going on? And is...Alice-chan okay?"
She hears him inhale shakily on the other end.
"Odango...it's Miyuki-nee, I don't know those senshi's number I just thought they would want to know their Princess is in the Hospital..."
"I-I'll go to their place and I'll meet you at the Hospital, I'll meet you there."
Not waiting for his reply, she hung up dropped the phone, and got dressed telling her mom and dad she had to meet someone at the Hospital cause one of her friends was sent there. Her mother nodded and decided to drive her to Haruko's place. Usagi nervously knocks on the door until Michiru answers it with a kind smile but that smile vanishes after seeing the look of distress on the Princess's face.
"Usagi-san? Is something the matter?"
Haruko walks over seeing the look of distress on Usagi's face as well, getting serious.
"What's going on."
"M-Miyuki-chan, sh-she needs you guys. Seiya called me saying she was in the Hospital, I never got a chance to ask him why b-but her friend...Alice? Couldn't tell me she ended up crying over the phone."
The two look froze in shock, horror, and then pain. They didn't waste any time, they grabbed their jackets and shoes, and Usagi led them to her mother's car. And she drives them to the Hospital, Usagi and the others don't look far cause Seiya is holding a girl with twin pigtails outside the entrance. Usagi rushes over, he notices her and the outer scouts following close behind Usagi. He pushed the girl, away gently and before he could say anything, Haruko was at him grabbing the front of his red suit and glaring at him.
"What happened?! You better not have allowed her to get hurt! I trusted you to watch over our Princess, and you go and let her be in the damn Hospital?! Give me one damn good reason for not kicking your ass!"
"Haruko-kun!"
"Haruko-kun! Please let Seiya-kun go."
"P-please let him go, Haruko-san! I-it's all my fault!" Alice burst out in more sobs.
Haruko frowns slowly letting Seiya go, looking at the sobbing girl.
"What do you mean Alice-chan?" Michiru spoke gently, walking over to the sobbing girl, and placing her hand on her shoulder.
"W-we were having di-dinner, then it let it slip that our dear friend Amelia she...she was murdered the day Miyuki-chan moved back here...she got upset then suddenly she grips her chest cried out in pain then she collapsed in Yaten-san's arms, we-we rushed her here...th-this is all my fault!"
"Sshhh, it's okay dear. This is no one's fault, okay?" Michiru spoke gently rubbing Alice's back to comfort her, and then she smiled softly when she threw her arms around the mother of the group.
"...Sorry, but did you guys get any information on our Princess?" Haruko apologized to Seiya who smiled weakly nodding to her.
"It's okay, truthfully I would do the same thing you did. But not yet, but I wanted Alice to get some fresh air..."
She nods, She steps closer to her lover and her Princess's childhood friend and places her hand on her head, patting it getting the crying girl's attention.
"Hey...it'll be okay, our Princess is strong. Miyuki-chan wouldn't want you to be sad. So chin up, okay? Dry those tears, and put on a smile."
She sniffled and nodded and she started wiping the tears from her face, then she did her best to put on a smile it was small but it was good enough.
"Good, now let's go inside and find out if she's okay."
They all nodded and walked inside seeing Taiki, and their Princess consoling Yaten who surprisingly sobbed into his hands, it made Usagi's heart ache. She knew right away that Yaten did care very much for Miyuki.
