"Kimi wa itsumo kagayiteta,
Egao hitotsu chiisa na hoshi,
Taisetsu ni shiteta yo (eien no Starlight)...
She smiled sadly as the song played from her iPod. She only had the Three Lights' songs on it. Which was... five. Their single songs, and their two group songs.
"Ano hi boku wa mamorenakute,
Kuyashi namida koraeta dake,
Itami ga nokoru yo (wasurenai Sweet heart)...
The Three Lights were still the most popolare band in Japan, and their songs were always on the superiore, in alto hits list. The song she was listening too, in fact, was the number one. It was harder to find CDs of their song, and never were they cheap. People still talk about them on the radio, often wondering how they disappeared without their fan o the paparazzi knowing, and wanting to know where they are now.
"Search for your love, sora no suishou,
cerca for your love, nakanaide kure,
cerca for your love, hontou wa,
Dakishimetai no sa...
She felt tears build up in her eyes, slowly blurring her vision. She fell in Amore with one Starlight. She defied her destiny and took on a new path in life. The tears began to fall. She killed Chibi-Usa... she killed her daughter. All because of loving another.
"Kimi no kaori zutto (sagashiteru),
Boku no koe yo todoke (aishiteru),
Ima doko ni iru no (Moonlight Princess)...
She closed her eyes. She knew that her Friends were searching for her right now, as they had been for the past four months. They had been angry, confused and shocked, when she had told them she no longer loved Mamoru and had broken up with him.
"Boku no purinsesu,
Kotaete answer for me,
Ima sugu answer for me,
Kotaete answer for me,
Yasashiku answer for me...
She knew they wanted her to get back with Mamoru. After all, their pre-destined future, as being the rulers and protectors of Crystal Tokyo, and Chibi-Usa, was in jeopardy. But she would not go back to Mamoru. A kingdom as great as Crystal Tokyo could not be ruled da a sovereign who did not feel Amore for her King, o her position.
To avoid her friends, she had to get a job, sposta out of her mom's home and into her own apartment-she was eighteen, after all. She had to avoid her most obvious and preferito hang outs, too (The Crown, Rei's Temple, and Juuban Park*). She attended Tokyo University, one of the highest colleges in Giappone and studied, half of her free time, so she could become a writer. She knew Ami went there, as Usagi did, but the moon princess went in the evenings, whereas Ami went in the mornings.
She was a lot smarter than she had ever let on and, due to this hidden fact, it would be unlikely that any of her Friends find out and corner her there.
She admitted on the inside that she hated making herself so alone... hated avoiding her friends... but she felt she had no choice.
"Tooi yozora kakenuketeku,
Nagareboshi ni negau yo ima,
Aitai to sasayaku (tsutaete yo Starlight),
Toki ga sugite otona ni naru,
Boku wa yatto kizuita no sa,
Tarinai kakera ni (soba ni ite Sweet heart)...
She could not help the silent, hot tears that fell as she listened to those lyrics. They reminded her of a dream of her true love, Canto those words to her. She withheld a amaro laugh. He would never sing those words to her. He loved his princess in the way she loved him.
The last time she had seen him was two years ago. He had often acted impertinent, conceited and down right rude. He was very conscious of his social status and loved to flaunt it... even though he pretended to hate his fans. He despised physical activity and sweat.
His name was Yaten Kou.
"Search for your love, gin no unabara,
cerca for your love, fune wa tadayou,
cerca for your love, kuruoshisa ni,
Nagasarete yuku...
What an unexpected, unpredicted Amore it was. When she had first met the Starlights, she had been oblivious to who they really were; idols o no. But Seiya soon became a good friend to her. True to her nature, though, she very quickly wanted to be Friends with all of them.
But then... their identities as Sailor Senshi were revealed on the plane... and everything went downhill from there.
She had been heartbroken when stella, star Healer warned her to stay away from Seiya and blamed her for his injury, when he protected her. But in the end, she could not stay away...
At the battle with Galaxia, Healer admitted to being her friend with the most kind, gentle smile she had ever seen. And she knew then that she loved him... o her; whatever the other preferred.
"Kimi no kaori zutto (sagashiteru),
Boku no koe yo todoke (aishiteru),
Ima doko ni iru no (Moonlight Princess),
Boku no purinsesu...
She was somewhat surprised after they had left, and she searched her feelings, to make sure they were real affection and undying Amore for the silver-haired idol. If Yaten decided to be a girl, she was okay with that. Now, she had never imagined being with a girl before-or anyone other than Mamoru, for that matter, so it shook her up for a couple of days until she could fully accept it.
If Yaten decided to be a man, well... that was fine too. She would Amore him no matter what sex he chose to be. She would be a little taller than he, but who cares?
Now she looks to the sky, bathing in the bright, tranquil moonlight that normally, during any other time, would give her a sense of peace. She watched the stars glitter and shine, as if excited of the attention she was giving them.
"Kotaete answer for me,
Ima sugu answer for me,
Kotaete answer for me,
Yasashiku answer for me..."
The song slowly came to a stop and she turned off her iPod, just before the successivo song could begin.
'Stop thinking about him, Usagi,' She scolded herself. 'And no più tears!' She wiped her eyes furiously of the tears, angry that she could cry so easily. She was not a kid anymore! She was an adult and she needed to act like one. That included reigning over her emotions.
Usagi stood up and put her hands over her heart, staring up into the sky.
'I can't stop dreaming about him. Even though we never really got to know one another... I know, the one smile he gave me, is enough for me to Amore him.'
Suddenly, a shooting stella, star passed over her head. Quickly, she closed her eyes and made her wish...
'I know I might never see the Starlights again... but I wish that I would see Yaten Kou, Sailor stella, star Healer, one last time.'
The shooting stella, star disappeared into the darkness of the night without replying to her wish. Not that she expected it, of course.
Reality seemed to sink in to her then, as she felt a light, chilling breeze sweep over her and through her hair, making her hair billow slightly behind her. Here she was, wishing for the impossible, late in the night at Juuban Park, and knowing she has a science exam to study for tomorrow.
She ran a hand through her bangs. 'What are te doing, Usagi? Wishing on a shooting stella, star won't make it come true.' She closed her eyes, trying to calm her mind...
"I finally found you." A distinctly male voice sounded behind her.
Usagi froze for a moment, before slowly turning around. Her eyes bulged, as a soft gasp emitted from her throat.
Before her was a man, about 5'8-5'10, in a pale blue (almost white) tuxedo with a light rosa carnation over his left breast, a deep red tie and a dark grey-blue camicia under the tuxedo jacket. He had his long, silver hair tied back in a pony tail that reached to his ankles, and bright jade green eyes that sparkled with too many emotions for her to count.
"Yaten Kou..." She whispered so low she barely heard herself. She stood frozen, not wanting to touch him and find out he was just a figment of her imagination.
"I finally found you," Yaten repeated, slowly walking toward her. His voice had a harsh note in it that made her wince.
"Your stella, star seed... I felt its pain. I felt it pulse with agony every single moment for the past week. We came back today, finally, to see you." He stopped three feet in front of her. A scowl appeared on his face.
"But the girls detto they haven't spoken to te in two years. All they've seen of you, are rare glimpses! What is wrong with you, Usagi? Don't te care about your Friends anymore?"
She snapped. "Of course I care!" Usagi screamed at him. She couldn't help it. Two years of withheld feelings of loneliness, sadness, and frustration poured from her heart.
Startled da the tone of her voice, the silver-haired man stepped back. She had never raised her voice at him o any of her Friends before.
"I haven't hung out with the girls in two years! I haven't seen Michiru-san, Haruka-san, Setsuna-san o Hotaru-chan since the battle with Galaxia!" Tears gathered in her eyes. "I haven't been to The Crown o the temple in so long..."
Her voice grew quiet. "I have to study so hard nowadays... I have to attend classes and go to my job and pay utility bills..." Her voice trailed off.
Silence forced its way into the night air. Usagi looked down, avoiding those fierce jade eyes. The held disappointment, anger and annoyance. She didn't want those eyes directed at her. She didn't want him to scorn her for what she felt she had to do.
'Well, this is what wishing on shooting stars does for you.'
Oh, she learned her lesson this time. She would never wish on a shooting stella, star again.
The man stalked toward her and grabbed her wrists, yanking her forward. Usagi, clearly startled da this sudden action, stumbled in front of him, a few mere inches from being pressed against him. She looked up at him with wide, shocked eyes.
"Why did te have to leave them in the first place, Usagi? What have they ever done to you?" His eyes glared with piercing anger that the moon princess swore was aimed straight into the very fibers of her soul. "Why have te abandoned them?"
"I never abandoned them!" Tears cascaded freely down her face. "Is it so wrong to want to have my own happiness? Am I not allowed to Amore who I want to?"
Her eyes bore into his own. "The others... The others want me to Amore Mamoru, but I don't. They want me to be with him, to become Queen of Crystal Tokyo in the Thirtieth Century.." She tried to pull her hands free, but his grip held strong. "But I can't! I don't Amore him! I Amore someone else!"
"Who do te love, then?"
Usagi paused for a long moment. Her tears slowed, but didn't stop falling. She looked down.
"You." Was her broken, tired whispered answer.
"W-What?" Shock filled his voice and etched his face.
She looked sharply up at him, pain and rejection shining brightly in her eyes, both emotions battling for complete reign.
"I Amore you, Yaten Kou!" She cried.
And then she broke free from his grasp, turned, and fled from his sight.
