Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Destiny Challenged ❯ Destiny Challenged ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: Well I never researched the owner info, so Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon related characters, like the scouts, do not belong to me. They belong to many other people. I am happy to report though that King Silver and Circe do belong to me. Also as always email me with comments!

Well here we go onto part 4. Thanx for reading this, I hope I am doing a good job so far! I am trying to make this as good as possible (since this is my first fic!) I hope you all enjoy it!

It was a few weeks after the last incident. Everyone started to relax a little, but they still expected something. They figured it was the Negaverse's plan to get everyone relaxed before the next attack. Usagi was about to leave her house to go meet Seiya when the phone rang.

"Hello." she answered.

"Hey Usagi! What are you up to today?" Rei asked.

"Well I was about to go meet Seiya now." she replied, not wanting to cut her friend short.

"Oh, well the girls and I are getting together, so if you wanted to join us later, meet us at Ami's house."

"Ok Rei, thanks for calling." With that they hung up. Rei couldn't help but notice that her friend seemed a little stressed out lately.

"Oh Usagi, I know this is hard on you." Rei thought to herself. "I don't know what I would do if I were you."

Usagi met Seiya at the park. He was already there when she got there.

"Hi Odango!" he said. He walked up to her and gave her a quick kiss.

"Hi Seiya." she said back and took his arm. They decided to sit in a spot by a tree. "I wanted to meet you here for a reason." she began. "I know all about your past but I think its time you knew mine."

He had a worried expression on his face. "Are you ok?" he asked worriedly.

"Yes but this is something I should have told you a long time ago. I know this will sound strange but it actually starts about a thousand years ago..." She told Seiya everything about the Silver Millennium. How she was Princess Serenity and the Scouts were her court and protectors. She told him about the Silver Crystal and about how she was engaged to Prince Endymion, who in present day is Mamoru. She told him about the battle with Queen Beryl which destroyed the Moon Kingdom and to save her, her mother, Queen Serenity, sent her to Earth to be reborn. She then told him all about her life and battles on Earth. It took her a long time to finish her story, but finally she did get done. When she was done Seiya just looked at her. He was shocked that so much could happen to one person. He took her hand.

"Odango, I am sorry that you have had to go through all of that." he said gently. She looked at him, and smiled.

"I think that is why I am having such a hard time with this. According to my future I am supposed to be with Mamoru. I have seen our daughter. I was reborn to be with him."

"No, you were reborn to be able to live your life." Seiya argued. He saw the look on her face and immediately regretted saying that. "I'm sorry." he said softly.

"I know. I talked to Michiru and Haruka about this and they said I should listen to my heart." she replied.

He hated seeing her in this much pain. He knew she loved him, that was evident. He didn't know about her past, or her future, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"How can I compete with this?" he asked to himself.

"I love you Seiya, this I know. I may not be sure what tomorrow may bring, but I do know how I feel right now."

The couple sat in their spot, looking at each other closely. In the distance, Haruks and Michiru sat watching the young couple. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Our little kitten has grown up, and must make some very difficult decisions now." Haruka noted.

"Yes and it is so clear that she loves both Seiya and Mamoru." added Michiru.

"But do you think she loves Mamoru because she feels she has to?" asked Haruka. Just then Setsuna appeared.

"Haruka, Michiru. You must come with me now." Setsuna said.

"Is there a problem?" asked Michiru.

Setsuna replied, "There has been a very big change in the time waves. We are going to have to discuss this."

All three looked toward Usagi and Seiya. "Has she made her choice already?" whispered Michiru.

In a dark corner of a room, King Silver sat alone. He was thinking about the past, before he was King Silver. He was thinking of when he was just Silver, Queen Serenity's advisor and magi. He was good then, full of laughter and hope. "How long has it been since I last laughed?" he asked himself. He was the one who made the Imperium Silver Crystal for Serenity to use against the evil forces. He remembered Princess Serenity, and his heartache. She was so beautiful, and so full of life. He had fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her very much. He remembered the day he brought it up to Queen Serenity.

"Please allow me to ask you for the Princess's hand in marriage." he asked bowing low.

"Silver, you know I cannot allow that." came Serenity's reply.

"I know I am not a Prince, but I will love her with all of my heart and take very good care of her."

"I know you would, Silver, but not only are you not a prince, but Serenity's engagement is going to be announced soon. She will be married to Prince Endymion of the Earth."

"I have heard nothing of this! I am your advisor!" Silver screamed.

"I know Silver, but I also knew of your feelings for Princess Serenity, and therefore did not know if you could advise me on this issue fairly." she replied gently.

Silver stormed out of the room. She had gone behind his back to make this deal and didn't even listen to him! He knew he could be better for her then this Endymion!

"Well Queen Serenity, you are not the only one who can make deals." he said to himself and left the palace. He went to go find Queen Beryl of the Negaverse. He felt maybe she could capture this Prince Endymion, and then Princess Serenity would be his.

"Why would you want something from me?" Beryl asked, not quite trusting this man in front of her. He explained the situation to her. She found she liked this idea very much, an insider on her side. "I will do what you ask, but you must help me with information and a way in." she told him.

"Yes, but Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity must not be hurt." he pointed out.

"You have a deal." she said and smiled. She was very happy with the way things were going.

King Silver saw Circe coming in. "Circe, do you have any news?"

"No your Highness, I am afraid I do not." she looked frightened at having to give him this news.

"All right, just keep watching. I want them to let their guards down."

"Yes your Highness." she said and left.

Usagi was back at her house, listening to Three Lights songs. She listened to Nagaraboshi he, listening to Seiya's voice. "I think my heart is telling me to be with him. No matter what the cost." she decided, and tried to call him. There was no answer so she figured she would try to find him.

Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna were walking down the street talking when they bumped into Seiya. He seemed preoccupied with something. The girls wondered if he wasn't with Usagi, who was? "Seiya!" Setsuna yelled out.

Seiya looked up. He seemed upset. "Yes?" he asked.

"Who is with Usagi?" she asked him.

"Oh, I just walked her home, and she said later she was probably going to go meet the other girls at Ami's house."

"What is wrong Seiya?" Michiru asked gently.

"I didn't know." he answered. The others looked confused. "I didn't know about her past, and that her future is all set for her. I thought that there could be a chance for us. She loved me. But now I know that that is impossible."

"Did Usagi tell you that?" Haruka asked suprised.

"No she didn't, but I love her to much for her to choose between me and the future she knows she has." and with that he ran off.

"Seiya!" they all yelled, but it was no use, he was gone.

The girls were at Ami's house when Mamoru showed up. He looked upset and Mako asked him what was wrong.

"I have done alot of thinking and I think the best place for me to be right now is in America. I was supposed to go there before but never made it. The University called me again today and said my spot there was still available if I wanted it."

"Mamoru, but what about Usagi?" Minako asked, "How can you just leave her at a time like this?"

"I want to ask her to come with me. I know I need to go there while I still can. Usagi and I will make it through this. We have the future together, I need to do this now."

They all knew it was the stress of the situation that was forcing him to go. They all also knew Usagi would never go with him. As much as she might want to, she would never leave her duty as a Sailor Senshi behind her.

"I just wanted to say goodbye, the only thing I have to do is find Usagi." and then he left.

In the Three Lights apartment, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten were sitting down, discussing Seiya's plan.

"But Seiya do you really think so?" Yaten asked concerned.

"Yes I do, this is the best way." Seiya said sadly.

Taiki replied, "Well if you think that is best." Then they all started to get ready.

Usagi ran around everywhere looking for Seiya. she even tried their apartment but there was no answer. "Oh Seiya, where are you?" she said outloud. Then she felt a presence and turned around. She looked and saw Mamoru walking towards her and her heart fell.

"Usagi, I have to talk to you."

"All right Mamoru." she replied. She knew she was going to have to tell him her decision. But before she could. he told her his decision.

"I have decided to go to America." he told her. He then explained how the University had called him and still wanted him to go. Despite her decision, Usagi started to cry.

He held her to him. "Usagi, please come with me. We could stay there together." he pleaded.

"Mamoru, you know I can't do that. I am Sailor Moon and Princess of the Moon Kingdom. I will become Neo-Queen Serenity. You know I can't abandon my duties."

"I know, but I must do this." he said sadly. "I just can't be here right now. I will call you everyday. I love you."

"When do you leave?" she asked.

"Tonight." he answered.

She felt a sadness at the thought of him leaving again, and a fear. A fear that like before, he would not make it there. She started to cry again at the thought.

"Mamo-chan, please don't go." she pleaded.

"Usako, I have too. I am sorry. Will you still wear my ring?" he asked.

"Yes, I will wear it like I always have." she answered. They discussed the time his flight was leaving, and then Usagi decided to go home for a little bit and then meet him at the airport.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked her.

"No, I think I want to be alone right now." and she started to walk away.

Circe watched the girl leave. "So Sailor Moon, you are the Moon Princess." Then she laughed and started to follow her.

Seiya placed the package on Usagi's bed. "I love you." he said outloud. He turned around and left the room.

Haruka, Setsuna and Michiru were all talking. All of a sudden the three women jumped up and ran out of the coffee shop.

The girls at Ami's house were just talking and waiting for Usagi when all of a sudden Rei screamed. "What is it Rei?" Ami asked frightened. Rei started to cry. "Something is wrong with Usagi, we have to find her!"

Mamoru went to the airport. He knew he was going to hurt Usagi by taking a earlier flight but he couldn't stand another goodbye. He just hoped she would wait for him.

The girls reached Usagi's house and went into her room. They saw the package and given the circumstances, decided to open it. Inside their was a blue shaped crystal and a letter. The letter said:

Odango,

By the time you read this I will already have been gone. I have decided to go back to my home to give you time. I cannot ask you to give up your future for me. I will always love you and remain forever yours,

Seiya

p.s. I have enclosed a crystal. If you ever need me for any reason, you can use this to contact me.

The girls read the letter again. "Should we use it?" asked Minako.

"Not yet." answered Rei. "Let's see if we can find anything out." All of their compacts started to go off. They answered it and it was Michiru.

"Usagi is in trouble!" she cried.

"What happened!" yelled Mako.

"She has been taken by the Negaverse!" Michiru replied. "We have to hurry! I don't know how much time we have!"

"Now should we use the crystal?" Minako asked.

On their planet, Seiya was talking to Princess Fireball. "You left without talking to her? Fighter, how could you?" she asked.

"I had no other choice. I can't do that to her."

"But what about the trouble they were having? Have they defeated it?"

Seiya replied, "I don't think so, but they have handled other situations before." But he got worried thinking about her fighting. "Why didn't I think of that?" he wondered. "Oh Odango, I hope you are safe." And in his heart, he wished she would call him back.

Well that about does it for part 4. I hope you all enjoyed it!! Will Seiya get the message that Usagi is in trouble? Will Mamoru find out and come home? I don't know, see you in part 5!!!
