Reaching For Harmony (Part 3)

Uranus rushed forward, aiming the power of the weapon in her hand towards Fighter. Before she could launch her attack, Usagi stepped forward, throwing her arms out and standing in front of the Star Senshi. The scout of wind stopped abruptly and regarded her princess wide-eyed.

"I WILL NOT let you harm them. I'll protect the Starlights; kanazura!" (1)

The sandy haired woman pushed her aside, her eyes narrowed as she brought down the sword.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Uranus shrieked

The raven-haired Starlight easily glided out of the way, but then collapsed to the pavement unconscious.

"FIGHTER!" screamed the other two Star senshi, quickly coming to their fallen leader's side.

"Oh dear, It seems the leader isn't as strong as SHE thought she was," murmured the scout of sea.

"Uranus, Neptune, Pluto onegi!(2) Doshite?(3) cried Usagi

We just want to keep you safe Ojo-sama,"(4) interjected Pluto, "you can't tell who's your allies and who's your teki." (5) She gave a cold to the Starlights.

"Demo, they aren't, I know that. Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, I didn't trust you. I did not understand why you were so intent on finding those heart crystals and then kill Hotaru-chan. Everyone thought you three were our enemies. Only after word did I realize that you had a different mission, to save the world at whatever cost, to save the future of this planet. The Starlights are you; we didn't trust them at first, demo now we are fighting together to stop Galaxia." The moon princess said all of this with her hands clasped and glassy-eyed.

The three Outer Senshi were surprised by the words of their future queen. Usagi smiled and looked up at them, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "I am asking you now, will you at least try to let them help us?"

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto looked at each other, aghast, and then after a moment, nodded to one another.

"Very well Neko-chan. But if they turn against us." hissed Sailor Uranus.

"Dajabou, I have a feeling they won't," the "Odango" haired girl said sweetly.

The three senshi gave her an uncertain glance, and then jumped out of sight.

Usagi turned to see Taiki and Yaten holding the oldest of the three up. Seyia regained consciousness long enough to de-henshin, before he fell back into Yaten and Taiki's arms. The pig-tailed girl rushed to his side.

"Is he alright?" she asked, addressing the tallest of the three boys.

"Hai, he's just exhausted," Taiki responded quietly. There was a long silence between the two groups.

"Oh, I just remembered! I was supposed to help grandpa to clean the shrine!" stammered Rei, who then bolted.

"I-have to go study for a quiz tomorrow!" mumbled Ami, who also dashed off.

"I need to go finish my homework!" Makoto yelped as she sprinted off

"I have a volleyball game tomorrow!" shrieked Minako as she dashed away.

Usagi and the Starlights stood open-mouthed. When they recovered from the shock, Taiki lifted Seyia into his arms while Yaten pulled the van door open. The chestnut-haired Three Light carefully laid Seyia on the back seat.

"He'll be alright Usagi-san."

A weary voice called out "Odango?"

Seyia had woken up and lifted his head to meet her eyes.

"Hai, Seyia?" her voice was filled with compassion

"Argiato," the raven-haired man smiled faintly and then settled back. Taiki and Yaten got in and drove off. The blond watched them go, the dark van fading, blending into the twilight.

'Maybe we finally understand each other' she thought, as she raised her eyes to watch the moon rise and the stars star to dot the sky.
