They walked down slowly from the city and began searching.... "Do you think that they would find them?" Seri asked. "Yes,I do.I'll search for her as well,if that was possible.This ball can't find her,the ginzishou is protecting her." Dimando answered. "Then what would you do?" "When the senshi returns with her,I'll take her.And I'm sure they can return with her before her coming birthday,they have three whole weeks to look for her. " Seri smiled: "I guess we would win after all." Both men's laughter filled the air.Something bad will happen soon... The Crystal Warriors,now called the Crystals only searched for a place to stay in the forest.They had been there for days and were really tired. Usagi/Serenity: "Can't we just find a place to live in?" Petz wheezed: "There's (wheeze) none." Usagi/Serenity: "We should have listened to the senshi." Cooan: "No,way! Who knows? They might be lying!" "Excuse me?" They all turned to see a man standing before them. "Do you girls need anything?" the man asked. "We need shelter,food and more clothes." Usagi answered him. "I could give you a deal." the man said. Serenity: "What?" The man eyed her: "Do you have any talents?" Serenity: "We could sing." Man: "That's perfect! You see,I have an inn for people who camps in the forest.And I have an entertainment time for them every afternoon. All I could give them are comedians.We have a special,small auditorium in the inn.Complete with chairs and lights.No food allowed.You could sing for them.And in exchange,I'll give you shelter clothes and food, for free." Serenity eyed him mischievously. The man walked back and shook his hands in front of him: "No,that's not what I meant,it's not like a night club or anything." Serenity: "Oh,okay.Because if it is,we'll shred you to bits. Man: "Well,deal? Oh,by the way,my name's Jake." he held out his hand. Serenity: "Ok Jake,deal." she shook his hand. Jake: "What's your name,anyway?" Serenity looked at the others nervously: "Well..wait a sec." They all huddled in a corner. Serenity: "What's my name gonna' be? Serenity or Usagi?" Petz: "I like "Usagi" better." Beruche: "Me too." Calavelas: "No,I like "Serenity" better." Cooan: "Yeah,it's better!" Serenity: "Guess it's a tie." Petz: "I know,let's go for the middle!" Cooan: "What?" "Girls,are you okay?" Jake's voice rang out. Serenity turned to him: "Wait for a while." then she turned to the others: "What do you mean Petz?" Petz: "Let's call you,Serene." Cooan: "As in "peaceful" ?" Petz: "Yeah." "It's perfect!" Serenity turned to Jake: "The name's Serene,and call us,the Crystals" Jake: "Deal's done!" They all walked toward his inn. Serenity: "This is the beggining of a new life." Two days later... The senshi split by three's and two's and searched the whole forest. All of them were tired and their equipment were running out. Seiya: "Now what do we do? We haven't found them yet." Mamoru: "I'm so tired!" Hotaru: "So are we!" Setsuna: "Well?" Rei: "Wait! I sense someone heading this way!" All prepared to attack but were greeted by the face of an innocent man. Rei: "Who are you?" Man: "The keeper of an inn in this forest,what are you doing here?" Seiya: "Nothing!" Man: "Nothing?" Michiru: "We were camping,we've lost and are still running out of food and equipment." Man: "Maybe you should spend a day in my inn and think of a way to pay me for the room and everything.All of you look tired.Deal?" "Sure." Man: "Oh,by the way,the name's Jake." All introduced themselves. Jake: "Let me take you to my inn.Oh,I hope you won't mind,I could give you only two rooms only because you'd take up so much space." Mamoru: "It's okay,as long as there is food." Rei: "You sound like Usagi!" They all laughed. Jake: "Let's go!" They all marhed toward the inn and stopped infront:"Well,here it is!" Jake announced.They all stared at the place and went in. "You see,I have a promo,and it's for free.Feel free to come to our auditorium at three o-clock in the afternoon.We have a program called "Entertainment Time" and I personally invite you to come,it's great especially with the new singers around.You'd be fully entertained." Jake said. Haruka: "Sure,now show us to our rooms." Jake chuckled: "Sure!" "It's so boring here! Let's leave! " Rei complained. They were all in the auditorium and the comedians were not doing any good. Seiya: "Let's just wait for the singers,I want to listen to music." Mamoru: "Sure." They might be fighting for Usagi's love,but they were friends at times like these. Suddenly the people clapped their hands.Seiya turned and saw Jake on the stage. Jake: "Everybody,the moment you've been waiting for.Music time with.." The people shouted: "Come on! Let's get on with!" A girl stood up: "Bring us the Crystals!" Haruka stared at Mamoru and Seiya she thought. she added. Jake: "Okay! Crystals,Serene! The stage is all yours!" then he stepped out. "Yay!" the people shouted. Raving sounds filled the air and..and..Usagi with Cooan and Petz stepped in. "What?!" Haruka heard the senshi say. Cooan stepped down: "We found each other,but little did we know.." Usagi followed her,and people screamed: "Yay,Serene!" Usagi: "That in truth my sisters,togetherness could make love grow." Petz: "We're always better together and when we're apart,we're sharing the same dreams in our hearts!" "We're sharing,sharing the same dreams! Yes! You and me.And good things,good things will happen.If we wait,wait and see." They added groovy dance moves while they sung. "We'll make it together sink or swim,and neither one of us will be out on a limb! We're sharing,sharing the same dreams!Yes!You and me!" Cooan: "We may be different,but then that's who we are.." Usagi: "Just remember my sisters,we're reaching for the lucky star." Petz: "We share the same joy and laughter,sadness and tears,we're staying together for years and years!" "We're sharing!,sharing the same dreams! Yes!You and me.And good things,good things,good things will happen.If we wait,wait and see. We'll make it together sink or swim,and neither one of us will be out on a limb!We're sharing,sharing the same dreams! Yes! You and me!" They continued with style and moves until they stopped. "Thank you!" Usagi said. "Thank you! That's all for today I guess." Jake sid.They disappeared and appeared in casual clothes. They sang the song: "Every Time You Go Away" and the people exited out of the place leaving only the senshi,Jake and Usagi's group.They disappeared and went back with work clothes. Usagi: "We'll clean the place for you Jake,anyway,you've given us too much for us to pay.Thank you." Jake: "No.Thank you." Usagi smiled,she understood him: "Okay.Let's get on with." She took a broom and suddenly twirled it around: "Too much to clean," Cooan: "So much to learn." Petz: "This one's a song for you to like." Beruche: "Everything's the same," Calavelas: "But you might go insane." "Clean and clean,sweep and sweep.These are moments for me to keep. Just don't make it to high or to steep.Coz' we are not someone to depend on always." Usagi had two coconut husks on both of her feet and suddenly skated gracefully on the stage.The floor shone everywhere she passed. "You see guys you must learn to depend on yourself." Cooan sweeped the floor: "You must know the right things for you to spend on." Petz polished the chairs: "You must know the matters between life and death." Beruche mopped the floor: "You must know the difference between not unprepared and set." Calavelas: "You don't wanna' suffer,so learn to depend on your self." Usagi: "If you're on your own you must learn the consequences of life" They finished and slapped each other's hands. "Yeah! Alright!" Jake: "You'd make a good job in here." Usagi: "Yeah." Jake saw the others: "Oh,hi guys! I want you to meet my group,The Crytals." Mamoru went foreward: "Hi!I'm Mamoru Chiba." Usagi: Hi! I'm Serene. This is Petz,Calavelas,Beruche and Cooan." Mamoru nodded : "This is Kou Seiya,Yaten and Taiki. This is Fireball.And this is Haruka,Michiru,Setsuna and Hotaru.This is Minako,call her Mina ,Makoto,call her Mako,Rei and Ami.This is Jedaite and this is Nephlite." Usagi laughed: "Whoa! Talk about lots! But I get you all." Rei,who couldn't believe that Usagi memorized all of the names in a minute,asked: "Okay,prove it!" Usagi smiled easily. Mamoru thought. Usagi: "Okay.Well,you're Mamoru,you're Seiya,this is Fireball,you're Yaten,Taiki,Michiru,Setsuna,Haruka,Hotaru,Mina,Mako......" She continued until all were told. Rei: "WHAT!! I can't believe it!" Seiya: "Hey,I know! Hey Jake! We could sing in here too!" Jake: "Sure,that could help you repay the rooms." Usagi: "Good luck!" then they walked away. ====================================================================== "SEIYA!! WHAT IN BLUE BLAZES!!" the Outer senshi,Mamoru's group and Ami screamed. Seiya stepped backward,a huge sweat drop on his face.He shook his hands in front of him: "Wait! You could learn how to sing!" "WELL,WE DON'T WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SING!!" they screamed. Michiru smiled: "That's fine with me." Yaten: "Good,I'll teach you." Haruka: "No,I'll join too." Yaten glared at her and she smiled triumphantly at him. Mamoru: "You could never convince me to sing." Ami: "Same with me." Setsuna: "I dunno'." Hotaru: "I like it Setsuna!" Setsuna: "Um..." Mamoru: "Hate the idea." Ami: "Humph!" Taiki: "For me??" Ami and Taiki had been going on on a relationship since he came back. and they had been sincere to each other. Ami: "No.No,no and no." Seiya: "Get this guys,if we become singers,we would become closer to Serene or Usagi..whatever.And the others,In this way we could help them and revive their memories.It's for them anyway." Mamoru: "Okay,okay." Ami: "Okay,but this is only for Usagi." Setsuna: "Oh,well.Okay." Nephlite and Jedaite: "We'd join." The starlights slapped each other's hands. "All right!" ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))______________(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( "Why did I ever say yes? Why?!" Mamoru said under his breath. "Hate it,hate it,hate it! Hate them,hate them,hate them!" Ami muttered "That's what's wrong with having a singer for a boyfriend." Setsuna said to Ami. "Whee! Love this!" little Hotaru screamed. They were all vocalizing.They had to jog and try to sing lower tones to upper ones.And of course some others like it,some others hate it. Seiya: "Come on you won't give up,would you?" Mamoru: "Well,for your informa-" his voice was cut and Seiya found him staring behind him,his eyes wide open and his mouth hanging wide. Seiya turned to his back: "What the-" They all turned to see Usagi and the Akayashi sisters jogging near them,in sweatshirts and shorts.But this time Usagi was in the back.And she looked totally beautiful to him-and to Mamoru.Even with all the sweat,she looked cute,with that headband on her head and with those beads of sweat falling down her face.Only Yaten and Haruka wasn't looking at them.Coz' Yaten's busy staring at the face of Michiru and Haruka was busily protecting her by looking at Yaten as hard as she could. Usagi jogged toward them: "Hi guys!" "Hi!" all of them chorused. Cooan walked near Usagi; "So,you guys vocalizing?" Rei: "Yeah." Petz: "So,how do you group yourselves?" Rei: "Well,the four of us," she said gesturing to the inner scouts, "are one group,and Michiru would play the violin or the keyboard and would sometimes act as second voice.Haruka would play the drums. Setsuna's learning the guitar,little Hotaru-" "Please don't call me "little Hotaru" just "Hotaru"." Hotaru cut in. Rei smiled: "OK,so Hotaru would be using the tambourine.And Fireball would be joining the songs." Seiys stepped foreward: "Of course to know the tone and beat,even as an instrument player you should vocalize.Well,we the boys have a group too."We" he said motioning to the starlights. "are the singers,Mamoru, the guitar,Jedaite,the keyboard and Nephlite,the drums." Usagi nodded: "And what do you call yourselves?" The senshi looked at each other nervously then Ami suddenly spoke. "Well we,the girls are called um - Universal Lights and they call themselves um..." "The Starlights." Seiya spoke up.Mamoru looked at him questioningly. as if saying: We didn't vote that "The Starlights" would be our name. Usagi seemed to stare at the sky: "Why does that name seem familiar?" Cooan: "and why does your names seem familiar too." Petz: "This is what we get for having amnesia." The senshi thought of it as their cue to reveal themselves and retrieve their memories.Ami picked Luna and Artemis up. Usagi: "They're cute." she patted Luna's forehead. Cooan pointed to the crescent moon sign: "Is that a bald spot?" Luna spoke up: "No..oops!" Usagi: "This scene seems familiar.." Cooan: "A talking cat!!!" Ami looked at the others and smiled: "I'll explain,you see,there was once a kingdom called the Moon-" "Hey guys! Howdie!" They all saw Jake coming near them: "Time for lunch!" Usagi: "Oops! Gotta go!" Ami: "Well that was close." All dropped their heads and big sweatdrops formed. They never seemed to get to tell Usagi about her past though they tried hard.Something seems to get in the way always.Even if they see each other every single day.Entertainment Time became very famous.Days passed until.... The senshi were seated down the seats.They won't perform today.Usagi came out with travelling clothes with the others: "This is a special day,a day to remember.once again we say,thanks to you." They formed a line and they faced them.Usagi began: "I can live,I can love,I can reach the heavens above,I can right what is wrong,I can sing just any song." Petz: "I can dance,I can fly,and touch the rainbow in the sky,I can be your good friend,I can love you,until the end." Cooan: "What took you so long to make me see,how lucky I am coz' I am free,free to do the things I wanna' do." Ami gasped in horror.That was the song they had sung in their Music class,it just suddenly formed in Usagi's head.She could feel that it ment something..something important.She turned to the others and explained... Calavelas: "What took you so long to make me feel,I can give love,a love so real,what took you so long to let me know that I can live.." Cooan: "I can live.." "..I can love,I can reach the heavens above..." The others gasped in horror.It sure meant something. Beruche: "What took you so long to make me cry,so I would know the reason why." Usagi: "I'm so lucky I can smile,I didn't know this for a while.." "I can live,I can love..................I can love you,until the end." They all bowed: "Thank you.." Usagi whispered,and they disappeared in the curtains.People rubbed their eyes.Some had tears in them. Mamoru went near a person: "What's wrong?" The man rubbed his eyes: "They're leaving." Mamoru's eyes widened: "Who?" Man: "The Crystals." Mamoru: "What?!" Man: "They're fighters of justice,and would be heading for Dimando's castle.We loved them.They had been training all the time without us knowing it.Now they're leaving.But it's for peace.We understand." Mamoru thanked the man: "Thank you so much!" He quickly ran toward the senshi and told them what he heard. "What?!!" They quickly ran toward Jake and told him they were leaving. Jake didn't even had the time to ask them why.They ran outside and saw Usagi and the others running in the forest. They ran toward them. Mamoru,Seiya and Haruka catched up with them. Mamoru neared Usagi: "Why didn't you trust us?" Usagi stared at him,a sad look in her eyes: "We don't want anyone to get hurt." Seiya neared them: "We are the senshi and we are also fighters of peace." Usagi: "These are your normal forms? Stop!" she ordered.They all stopped. Usagi: "You are also fighters of justice?" Haruka: "And we don't want anything with your crystal." Mamoru: "We just want to bring back your memories." Usagi: "How?" Luna jumped infront of her and tried to restore her memories-but was not succesful. Luna: "I don't get it,why can't I restore your memories?" Ami walked near Luna: "The crystal is protecting her." Usagi: "Who am I in the truth?" Mamoru: "You are you.We'll help find a way to restore your memories even with the sisters,but now,introductions are made,and we'll help you fight for peace." Usagi: "Okay..I guess." The senshi walked near them and they all made an alliance,an alliance for peace. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The senshi looked at the castle above them. Usagi: "How big!" Cooan: "Yeah." Beruche: "So,what do we do?" Rei: "We'd resume our normal forms and names while you change yours." Cooan: "H-how?" Ami: "Beruche,you're Beth.Cooan,you're Cheryl.Petz,you're Patty.And Calavelas,you're Cindy." Usagi: "How about me?" Michiru: "Since Dimando doesn't hear much of it,you'd be named Usagi." Usagi nodded: "So,what else?" Setsuna: "We'd better change our hairstyles." She twirled her hair in a bun[she looks so glossy!].Michiru's hair was tied up.Haruka,no change.Hotaru had a clip at her left side.Makoto had her hair down[she looks so cute!].Rei had her hair braided.Ami had a ribbon.Mina had two clips.Cooan had the same style which covered her cat styles.Beruche had her hair in a head band.Petz's her was down.And Calavelas had her hair in Setsuna's old style.The boy's had their nor- mal styles,for Dimando,didn't know the Starlights were boys,Mamoru had worn a cap backwards,Neph-kun tied his hair,Jed-kun had his normal style.So with the princess.They wore normal clothing and Usagi had her hair tied up like Michiru's. Usagi: "Why do I have to wear such a hair style like these? I like my own style." Michiru: "Sorry,but you of all people must change your hairstyle.Any- way,you look cute in it." Usagi's head hung: "Oh,how encouraging." she said but she smiled. Setsuna: "Well that's fine." They entered the palace. "What!! Entertainers!! Are you guys clowns?!!" Usagi walked near the guard: "For your information,WE SING." Guard: "For what?" Ami: "Well,they said that the prince had a queen,and her upcoming birthday is near.She escaped but he said that he'd get her back.So,we are here to set the party right?" Guard: "Show us some stuff,you sing right? So sing." Makoto showed her fist in front of him: "Do you like me to show ya' this?" Guard: "Okay,okay,come inside." {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} "So,entertainers you say?" Dimando asked. All the people nodded infront of him. He eyed them curiously.These strangers introduced themselves as some people who sing melodiously for banquets and parties.Anyway,he'd win Serenity soon..Well,they told him their names,they were familiar he thought but why does the name "Usagi" sound familiar? He did not know.He looked at them one by one.And stopped at a certain blonde girl who had her hair up.She looked familiar.He watched her as she looked nervously at the others. Usagi thought.He stopped staring at her and went on to Rei.She saw the others sigh with relief. Fireball sighed with relief. she thought.Dimando finished and eyed them again.He suddenly spoke: "There are so many of you.You need to pair up in two's so that you wont get lost in the trails." Seiya: "Trails?" Dimando: "You will study the rules and practice songs in the mountains near my palace,it is so big that it has a secret way to the forest.So you either pair up with your boyfriends or your bestfriends.In less than a minute,you'd be lost if you don't pair up.Anyway,you must have different places in the forest too." He looked at their suprised faces: "Don't tell me that with that num- ber of people,none of you are couples." Seiya quickly went to Usagi: "Oh,she's my girlfriend." Usagi: "Wha...? Oh,yeah." Mamoru boiled. Haruka and Michiru held hands: "We're best friends,so we'll stay together." Jedaite went near Mina: "She's my girlfriend." Mina blushed. Nephlite went near Mako: "Yeah,this is my girlfriend." Mako: "Huh?! But..~;0.......oh,okay." Fireball saw Nephlite sigh with relief she thought. Yaten was angry,but Rei went near him: "Oh,he's my boyfriend." Ami and Taiki held hands and smiled: "We go." Setsuna held Hotaru: "She's my neice,we'd go together." Beth(Beruche) and Cheryl(Cooan): "We'd go together." Patty(Petz) and Cindy(Calavelas): "We'd go." Mamoru went near her. "No pair?" he asked Fireball. Fireball: "Yeah." Mamoru: "Guess we'd go together." The next day.... Mamoru: "We'd keep our friendship clear OK?" Fireball nodded: "Yeah." They set their horses and ran throught the forest. "I don't get it,why did you pick me,when you have the redhead to ask?" Usagi asked. "Because I like you." came Seiya's reply. "But,what about when we fought in the canteen last time in the inn? You were so rude." Usagi asked. "That was to pretend so that you won't run away the moment you recognize us as the senshi." Seiya said. "Oh." Usagi said, "I thought you did that just because you wanted to pick on me." Seiya laughed: "Hah!" Usagi rode her horse faster and jumped over a log,the new hairstyle did some good. Seiya did the same,but was slower: "I didn't know that you are good in horseback riding." Usagi shrugged: "Me either." Seiya stared at her all the way until they found a place that they could concentrate on.It was a good place,filled with trees and on the end was a dead end,an open one,it was a cliff surrounded by trees but was not sharp.If you stayed there at night,you'd see the stars. Usagi: "Well this is nice," Seiya sat down: "Let's get on with.Hear me sing." He sang about a girl which he loved but the girl already loved some- one else.According to his description,the girl was a princess.He said in his song that even if the girl loves someone else,he'd still love her and would always be waiting for her.That if the guy ever leaves her,he would be there for her.The song ended. Usagi: "What a beautiful song!" Seiya: "Yeah,it's real." Usagi never had an idea that she was the one Seiya sang about. Usagi: "So,who's the girl?" Seiya: "Someone beautiful." Usagi: "She doesn't have feelings for you?" Seiya shrugged: "I dunno." Usagi: "Then face her and tell her the truth.She'd be a fool not to appreciate you." Seiya leaned to her and kissed her.She was shocked but she returned it.They broke free. Seiya: "I don't have to." Usagi: "Was I the girl you were talking about?" Seiya: "You'd never know." Then they kissed each other again. Seiya: "I love you Usagi-chan." Usagi: "I love you too Seiya." [Eeeeeek! What????!!!!!] "Why me of all people?" Mako asked. "Because....you'll find out soon." Nephlite answered her. "Oh,come on! Tell me why you're being so nice to me!" "Okay,okay.I guess." Nephlite explained to her about their past relationship and how he and Jedaite were taken and controlled by Queen Beryl.He even showed her hologram images.When he finished,he turned to Makoto,who had tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry,I took you for granted." she whispered slowly. "You don't have to my love." He whispered back.Then they hugged each other and kissed. "You really love Michiru don't you?" Yaten nodded. Rei: "Hah! The last thing I heard before was that you were discrimina- ting her lipstick color." Yaten: "But the color really wasn't fit for her." Rei: "Well, I wish you luck." Yaten: "I hope that your wish would come true." Yaten looked at Rei,she *was* beautiful.He loved the way her hair glistened.. he thought though he felt like he was lying to himself. "Jedaite,thanks for telling me the truth." Jedaite showed Venus their past lives which brought back her emotions to him. Jedaite: "Oh,my love,once again we are at peace." You know what happened next. [as usual!] "You know,let's check out on Usagi and Seiya." Mamoru said. Fireball smiled: "Sure." They walked down the trails and found Seiya and Usagi,and they were KISSING! Mamoru's heart stopped . .He watched Usagi snuggle toward him. .He stared at them ,a single tear running down his cheek. "Ha,ha!Yaten thanks for the notes." Michiru laughed. It was two days later,Yaten just gave Michiru some notes which helped alot.It was already late,so they have to go in. "It was nothing." Michiru looked at her watch: "Oops!Gotta go!Thanks again Yaten.Wanna' stay some more but I really better be going." Yaten: "Okay,take care!" Michiru gave him a peck on the cheek and went throught the door.Yaten rubbed his cheek and felt good.He liked her peck but felt that he had wanted someone else's peck.Someone like Hino Rei. Haruka's tears flowed freely as she ran back to their room.She saw Michiru *kiss* Yaten on the cheek.She couldn't believe it! But maybe it was just a goodnight peck...she thought as she ran toward the night but she was a girl and so was Michiru.Maybe she deserved someone better like Kou Yaten.Maybe she should free her...... "Haruka what in the world are you doing?" Haruka placed more clothes in her bag: "I'm switching rooms with Set- suna." Michiru: "But why? I don't want you to." Haruka: "Really?! Why? You already have Yaten to kiss at night.Why'd you need me?" Michiru: "What are you talking about?!" Haruka: "Oh! Like you don't know!" Michiru: "What-?!" "Goodbye Michiru." Haruka said and slammed the door in front of her." Michiru leaned on the door and cried.She slowly slid to the floor and sobbed: "What have I done?" A tear slid down Haruka's cheek as she walked toward Setsuna's room. She heard Michiru's cries from the door. Michiru poured herself a cup of coffee,her eyes were red and puffy. She heard a knock on the door: "Ha-haruka?" she whispered. "No,it's Yaten." "Go away!!" "No,please let me talk,I just want to say something important and I just wanna' apologize.Please let me in." Michiru walked near the door and opened it: "What do you want?" Yaten: "I'm just here to apologize for disturbing you and Haruka.I fi- nally found who I really love,Hino Rei." Michiru: "Too late,Haruka told me that she hates me and told me that I have you to kiss at the night.But it's fine with me.I-I forgive you." Yaten: "Look,I haven't told Rei how I felt yet.I thought about it last night.But I'll offer you a deal." Michiru blew her nose: "What?" Yaten: "If you help me with Rei,I'd be glad to help you with Haruka." Michiru smiled: "Sure." Haruka was at the table sipping some tea. she thought wearily.She had tried to cry herself to sleep,but,ne avail.A knock came at the door.If it was Michiru,she won't answer it. "Who is it?!" "Yaten." came the reply. "What do you want?!" she screamed outraged. "I have to talk to you." Yaten said. "And why? You already have Michiru.What else do you want?!" "I need to talk to you,please Michiru doesn't love me,she loves you." Haruka's eyes flickered with hope: "Why should I believe you." "Because I'm telling the truth." Haruka couldn't answer. "Please let me in!" Haruka stood up and let him in.Michiru stood behind him. "So,your here to rub it in aren't you?" Haruka asked. "No,we are here to tell you that what you saw was wrong." Michiru said "What do you mean?" "Haruka,you're who I love,not Yaten,I was just giving him a goodnight peck as a sign of gratitude it's not what you think."
