Yaten and Ashley Second Chance Romance by Lord Falcon Sailor Moon ducked beneath the creatures blow and rolled away. "Somebody... HELP!!!!" she called out. But the other senshi were to busy with their own youma to help her. The creature regained it's bearing's and lunged after Sailor Moon again. She tried to dodge but this time she wasn't so lucky, the youma's blow caught her square in the stomach. Sailor Moon flew back from the force of the blow smashing into a nearby wall. The wind knocked out of her Sailor Moon tried to get up but she was hurt, hurt badly. The youma floated over to her, the hideous monster raised it's clawed hand to deliver a blow that would cut her from crown to navel. If it landed. "Tsunami, WASHOUT!!!" The sudden blast of energy vaporized the youma in a second. The creature didn't even have time to scream as the power consumed it's unholy body. Sailor Moon looked over to her sudden savior. "Sailor Earth!!" she yelled. The sailor senshi of the planet Earth gave Sailor Moon a small salute before she turned her attention to helping the other senshi. Uranus and Neptune were back to back and putting up a good fight, but the sheer number of youma would inevitably overwhelm the two lovers. Sailor Jupiter was doing a fairly good job of holding the youma back from an energy-drained Mars, but again the increasing number of unholy monsters would soon overwhelm her and feed on their life energy till they died. The other senshi were out of sight but the sounds of battle told Earth that they were nearby. Sailor Earth blew out a long breath and looked to the sky, only to draw in a sharp gasp. As she saw the source of all the youma that were attacking the sailor senshi. There, in the sky, was the largest youma that Sailor Earth had ever seen in all her years as a senshi. The creature in the sky was totally black with blood red eyes and a gaping maw that looked more like a wound than a mouth. A pair of bat-like wings jutted from it's back. The youma brought it's wings together in front of it and then released them, then suddenly there were a dozen more youma to deal with. So its that thing that's causing all the trouble. Sailor Earth thought, Well then I'll just have to take care of that won't I? Sailor Earth ran her finger through her long orange hair and charged toward the master youma who was now lowering itself to the ground as if accepting her challenge. She skidded to a halt, sensing a trap. It was a trap. The master youma produced a single youma creature. It was built like a human but the resemblance stopped there, this creature was two meters tall easy, and it's face... it's face was nothing like that of a human it had a ridged cranium and tusks that opened and closed around it's mouth. The monster reminded Earth of the alien from the American move "Predator". It howled, a most terrible sound, then it looked Sailor Earth in the eye's. It was challenging her she knew it. Only she didn't know if she stood a chance against it. *** They stood upon a rooftop watching the battle. They can't win, she thought, they're outnumbered 12 to 1. Sailor Star Fighter turned to her two siblings behind her. "Alright gang I think we've let them suffer enough let's lend them a hand shall we?" Healer and Maker nodded and the three leapt from the rooftop. The drop was seven stories but they simply blasted their powers downward to slow their decent. Upon landing the Sailor Starlight's charged to help the sailor senshi. Star Fighter went to defend a still injured Sailor Moon while Maker and Healer went to simply blasting away the hordes of youma. With the arrival of the Starlight's the battle quickly turned and all but two youma were quickly destroyed. *** Sailor Earth was in a battle for her life with the single youma monster and she knew it, the youma was unlike anything she'd ever faced before, unlike most other youma, this one was smart. She launched her Tsunami Washout at the creature only to watch it do nothing more than make the youma mad. The youma held out it's hands and it's claws then lengthened out to stiletto nails. "Now pathetic human, you die." It said in a guttural voice. Sailor Earth knew what she had to do. Dropping into a fighting stance she readied herself for the creatures attack. With the arm held out toward the youma Sailor Earth wiggled her fingers toward herself, daring the monster to attack. It charged at her slashing with it's claws. She dodged, a simple move. The youma began to attack her with quick blows that would be lethal to any human. If any of them landed. With fast almost graceful movements, Sailor Earth dodged or blocked the youmas attacks as if they were nothing. This is going to be easier than I thought, Sailor Earth thought. Sailor Star Healer watched the battle with going appreation on her face. I had no idea any of the senshi had that much skill, she thought, I know Jupiter had fine martial arts skills but this, this... Healer watched as Earth blocked, parried, or dodged the youmas attacks with dizzying fluidity. "Hmm, I wouldn't mind a sparing match with her later." She said aloud. She then watched in horror as Sailor Earth lost her footing and fell directly into the monsters attack. The youmas claws pierced her abdomen like it was nothing and then emerged from her back. "NO!!!" the other senshi screamed. Sailor Earth staggered away from the monster her hands crossed over her stomach, a red stain quickly spreading across her white, gray, and blue senshi uniform. "Not like this..." she said. Oh gods please, not like this, she finished in thought. She could feel her life energy leaving her body, and as it did her transformation began to reverse itself. Star Healer watched as Sailor Earth's transformation reversed. I wanted to find out who she is, but not like... she left the thought unfinished as she saw who the sailor senshi of Earth was. "Ashley..." she whispered, "oh gods please no." She looked on only to see the girl she loved fall to the ground in a lifeless heap. Anger boiled up inside Sailor Star Healer as she looked at Ashley's body. "You basterds!!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!!!" she screamed as she launched herself towards the two youma. The creatures only laughed darkly as Star Healers attacks did nothing to their evil bodies. Star Healer was not deterred by the fact that her powers were having no effect, she was determined to have vengeance. As she avoided an attack by the youma that killed Ashley, Sailor Star Healer felt something building inside her. The feeling kept growing until the words emerged from her lips without her even knowing it. "Nova Star Power... MAKE UP!!!" With those words Sailor Star Healers body was covered in a pure white light, her uniform, which consisted of revealing black leathers transformed into a pure white material, her long silver hair began to glow from within, and her eyes changed from their usual green to a harsh white leaving them pupiless. The Starlight looked to the two astonished youma, then spoke. "With the purifying fire the Super Nova, Sailor Star Nova... STAGE ON!!" "An interesting light show human but you are still only a puny human." The larger youma said it's voice dripping with contempt. "Your pathetic powers are useless against us as your friend found out." Sailor Star Nova pointed her hand toward the creature with her palm open. "Star storm... SCREAM." Then a beam of pure white energy lanced out and turned the winged youma into so much ash. Nova looked to the youma who killed Ashley, "You're next you monster," she said, her voice showing no emotion, "only I'm not going to be as merciful to you." The youma stepped back, intimidated, but then the arrogance that was common for the unholy species stepped in. "I will rip the flesh from your bones!" the monster cried as it charged her both hands now stiletto claws. *** During this exchange the other two Starlight's and the rest of the Sailor Senshi had gathered into a group. Jupiter had Mars leaning against her while Mercury was scanning a small cut on Venus' leg. The Outer scouts were uninjured and had taken off. Sailor Star Fighter was helping Sailor Moon to her feet while Star Maker watched the battle between Star Nova and the youma. I wonder if Fighter and I can also undergo a second change like that, she thought to herself. Maker then watched as Star Nova and the youma began their battle. *** The youma attacked with blinding speed, but Sailor Star Nova just moved her arm to block the attack. Blow after blow was either blocked or dodged as Nova fought with the creature. Soon the youma's attacks were becoming less intense as the monster tired itself out. Then Sailor Star Nova went on the offensive. Beginning with a series of lightening quick punches, Star Nova pummeled the creature again and again. She beat the creature until it bleed from eyes, mouth, and forehead. She then scythed her leg through its bringing it to the ground. Nova stood over the fallen youma, it looked up to her with contempt in it's eyes. "Bitch." it said. She lowered her hand to the youma, "Nova Fire...CONSUME." With those words a white hot fire enveloped the youma. The surrounding fire turned the youma into just a silhouette, then ate into it, turning it's bones from white to black then, nothing, just a scorch mark on the ground remained. The other senshi turned their heads away from the scene. Maker and Fighter stared in horrified awe at the cold hearted way Star Nova annihilated the youma. The entire scene lasted only two minutes, but the tragedy that had occurred here was burned into the Sailor Senshi's souls. Fighter and Maker walked over to Star Nova, Fighter placed her hand on Novas shoulder, and the transformation reversed itself, and Sailor Star Healer stood there once again. Healer looked her siblings in the eyes, nodded once, and walked over to where Ashley's body lay. The other senshi gathered around where Healer cradled Ashley's limp form. Sailor Moon went over and kneeled next to Healer, "Did you know Ashley?" she asked. "I loved her." Healer said, her tears choking her words. "Sailor Moon, please, just, give me a moment." Sailor Moon nodded and got up to rejoin the others. Healer looked at Ashley, even in death she was still beautiful. Her gray eyes staring up to the stars, the moonlight made her skin look paler than it should be. She reached to close her unseeing eyes. a voice said in her mind. Healer head shot up looking for the source of the voice. Her eyes went wide with shock as an opaque energy field surrounded her, cutting her off from the other Starlight's and the senshi. "What the...?" Standing a few feet away was a man dressed in brown robes with a blue hooded cloak. A fish-like mask hid his face. Healer was unable to guess his weight do to the robes, they also hid any muscle he may have. But Sailor Star Healer did not sense any negative energy from this man. the voice asked. Healer then realized the voice was coming from this man though he had not spoken aloud but in her mind. "Who are you?" she asked. he replied, "Yes, with all my heart and soul." She said, "What's it to you?" The stranger knelt next to Ashley's body and placed a gloved hand on her forehead, he said holding his other hand out to Star Healer. "What are you doing?" she asked. Healer put her hand in the strangers and immediately felt a tingling sensation. Then her hand began to glow, the glow traveled up the strangers arm and down the other arm into Ashley's body. Ashley's whole body began to glow and a gauzy cloud of energy surrounded her body. Her body then rose from the ground and Healer could see the wound in her stomach through a hole in her blouse. Healers eyes widened as she saw the blood retract into the jagged hole and then close completely with not even a scar to mark the injury. Ashley lowered back to the ground and stopped glowing, though the energy cloud remained. Ashley suddenly breathed in and the cloud vanished. The stranger let go of Healers hand, stood, and took a staggered step away his hand on his masked forehead. He then looked to Star Healer, he said. Healer noticed that his voice was no longer booming in her head, this truly must have weakened him, she thought. "How can I repay you?" she asked. he replied. Ashley groaned and sat up, "Anyone get the license of that truck, oy my head." she said. Her eyes widened as she remembered the battle. She pulled up her blouse to look at the wound, only to discover that it was no longer there. How... she thought, then she took in her surroundings, "Oh, boy, I'm dead aren't I?" she suddenly felt someone embrace her. She looked to see Sailor Star Healer with her arms around her her face brimmed with tears of joy. "You are far from that my love." she sobbed. She then jumped back, "Sorry I let my emotions control me, how embarrassing." She said wiping her face. Ashley stood and helped Healer to her feet, "Sailor Star Healer, I'm very flattered, really, maybe even a little curious, but I'm not like Uranus and Neptune, plus I'm already taken, a wonderful man named Yaten Kou." She said her eyes becoming a little starry at the thought of Yaten. Star Healer burst out laughing. Ashley's face soured, a slightly amused voice said in her mind. Ashley turned to see the robed man standing a few feet away. "Who are you?" she asked. She went over to Healer, who had finally gotten her mirth under control, taking her face in her hands, Ashley looked into Star Healer's green eye's. She saw love and compassion in them, she only saw that in one person. "YATEN!!!???" Sailor Star Healer leaned down and kissed her full on the lips, the same kiss Yaten had given her on their first date. Ashley's mind overloaded and simply shut down from all this information at once and she fainted in Star Healer's arms. the stranger said tossing a bottle of smelling salt to Healer. He then waved his hand and Ashley was again Sailor Earth. "What other things can you do?" Healer asked as she opened the bottle. Healer shrugged and passed the open bottle under Earth's nose, her eye's fluttered open. Earth looked up to Healer, "You have ALOT of explaining to do tomorrow." She said firmly. Healer smiled and nodded. "SAILOR EARTH!!!" the other senshi screamed. Earth and Healer took in their surrounding's and noticed that they were out of the opaque bubble and the robed man was gone. The senshi had gathered around them and were bombarding them with questions. "How is it that you're alive again?" "What was that black bubble?" "What exactly is the nature of the relationship between you two?" Healer and Earth groaned and tried to explain what had happened, though neither of them knew how they were going to answer that last question. *** He stood upon the rooftop watching the exchange below. This is rather amusing, he thought as he watched Earth and Healer stumble over their answers the seemingly endless stream of questions. Somehow they managed to get themselves out of the conversation and the senshi all dispersed. He then turned to his companion, he thoughtspoke to her as he removed his hood and mask. "Ah," he said as he removed the mask, "you just can't talk in this thing." Sailor Pluto looked at him, "You didn't have to wear the mask you know." she said. "I know, but it just seemed to add to the effect, you know?" he replied idly running a hand though his long pale blue hair. "True," she said as she opened a portal back to his dimension, "by the way, how would you like me to repay you?" she asked, "I can think of several ways..." she trailed off. Solarin looked at her, "How about this, stop trying to seduce me for a month and we'll call it even." "Deal." She said somewhat reluctantly. "Again thank you for doing this, this timeline will need Sailor Earth in the future if it is to survive." "No problem." he said as he stepped through the portal to his own reality, it whirled closed behind him. After he left, Sailor Pluto focused on the Key To Time and she to vanished as she returned to her post guarding the Gate of Time. *** After school the next day Ashley stood outside the apartment that "The Three Light's" shared. She tried the knob, finding it unlocked she stepped inside. Taiki was on the sofa reading a poetry novel, Seiya was sitting in front of a desk with pages of sheet music spread around him. Yaten was nowhere insight. "Hi guys, what's up?" she asked. Taiki looked up from his novel, "Hello Ashley, Yaten's in his room practicing his keyboard." Ashley nodded her thanks and headed towards the hallway, she stopped just before she reached it, deciding to take a gamble she said, "So I take it you two can change into girls as well?" There was a sudden snap as Seiya broke the pencil he was using, Taiki loudly closed the book he was reading. "We don't like to talk about it." they said in unison. "Why don't you two go out for awhile, I'll take care of things here." Yaten said as he emerged from his room. Seiya and Taiki left without argument and Yaten took a seat on the couch, "Have a seat, please." Ashley sat across from him and looked him in the eyes. He looks totally different from her, she thought. "How long have you been able to do this?" she asked. Yaten sighed, "Since we were 7, that's when the Oracle gave us our powers." He said. He went on to tell her the whole reason the Starlight's had come to Earth. Their mission to find their princess and return her home. "So you're going to leave me when you find her?" Ashley asked with a sad look on her face. "No, I already discussed it with the others, when our mission is complete I'm staying here on Earth." He said. "That is... if you'll still have me after hearing all this." Ashley didn't respond, instead she stood up, walked over to Yaten and kissed him deeply, her tongue intertwining with his. She held the kiss for two full minutes before she pulled away, "That answer your question?" she said with a twinkle in her eye. Yaten stood and wrapped her in a loving embrace, "I love you so much, Ashley." "I love you too, Yaten, I always will." She replied. They kissed again, a deep passionate kiss. Then it happened. They broke away from each other as they felt the new sensation. "What was that?" Ashley asked. "I don't know." Yaten said running his hand across his upper lip. Ashley's hand immediately went to her upper lip, "What is it?" he asked. "I felt that." She said. Yaten touched his forearm and Ashley looked to her arm, "What's happening to us?" she asked. He smiled as he figured it out, "That guy, he said there may be 'side effects' to what he did. This must be what he meant." Ashley touched her cheek and Yaten's hand went to his own cheek, "I like it." she said with a giggle. They kissed again, this time reveling in the strange, but not at all unpleasant sensation of feeling what the other felt. They stayed that way for quite a while, both afraid to pull away, as if it might sever the new link between them. After seven minutes they broke apart to come up for air. Looking into each others eye's the two felt a new sensation, no, they felt a new desire. Not saying a word to each other Yaten and Ashley headed down the hall to his bedroom. Once in the bedroom they began to kiss again as they flopped themselves onto the bed. Ashley began to unbutton the aqua blouse she was wearing while Yaten pulled off the black T-shirt he wore. Yatens eye's went wide when he noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra. "I take it you like what you see?" Ashley asked when she noticed the expression on Yatens face. Yaten only nodded lightly as a full gallon of hormones was dumped into his system. She smiled and leaned over to kiss him again, as they kissed she took his hands and moved them to her c-cup breasts. He kneaded them gently and she moaned as the feeling reached her brain. As Yaten felt Ashley's breast's he felt that the strange link between them was still there and he welcomed the sensations that came to him. He felt Ashley unbuckling his belt and he wasn't the least bit nervous. In their five years together since they had met in America, they had never gone this far, but now, everything felt right. She managed to undo his belt and pushed off his bluejeans leaving him in only a pair of black boxer shorts which now had a sizable tent in them. "At least this proves your a guy." She said as she stroked his hardness through the fabric. An impish grin crossed Yaten's lips, "Oh really... Healer Star Power, MAKE UP!" Ashley hid her eyes from the harsh light as Yaten transformed, "Have a look now." Sailor Star Healer said. Ashley uncovered her eyes to see Healer laying there in only boxer shorts. Her 34C breasts plainly visible, the tent in the shorts was gone. Ashley put her hand in the shorts and only felt the smooth sex of another woman. Healer kissed her deeply and she kissed back, their tongues intertwined again. When they broke apart Ashley removed her hand and said, "Hmm, maybe next time love, I said I was curious, but I want this time to be with the real you." Healer nodded and reversed her transformation and Yaten once again laid next to her. "Ahh, that's better." she said kissing him and feeling his hardness once again. Yaten reached down and unfastened the brown skirt she was wearing, then removed it and tossed it to the floor. Now, clad only in a pair of blue panties and black boxer shorts, Ashley and Yaten took each other into a lovers embrace. Their legs laced together and their lips locked as they prepared for the night ahead. "I love you." they both said in unison. Yaten kissed his way down Ashley's neck, tugging her panties off as he did so. His kisses traveled to along the tops of her breasts, then down the right one where he stopped at the nipple and lightly licked the tip of the stiff flesh. As his tongue touched her nipple, Ashley felt her blood catch fire with passion and desire. She became more aroused than she ever thought was possible. She ran her hand through Yaten's long silver hair that was tied into a long ponytail. She found the string that held it in place and released it, allowing his waist length hair to flow freely down his back. Yaten kissed his way over to the other nipple where he licked and suckled lightly for a moment before returning to kiss her passionately again. When she could reach, Ashley tugged off Yaten's short's leaving him as naked as she was. She reached down and stroked his hardness again, and smiled at both the contented moan he made and the sensations that came to her. As she stroked him, Yaten moved his hands down to caress Ashley's small butt. He then moved his hands up to her back and drew her close to kiss her passionately once again. The fire in his veins increased as her grip on his member increased ever so slightly. He broke the kiss and looked into her granite gray eye's, she stared up into his green eye's. Again the two communicated without word our gesture, they both know what the other wanted. Yaten then positioned himself over her, placing his member at the entrance to her sheath, Ashley nodded that she was ready and he gently thrust into her. If there was any pain, the sheer pleasure that Ashley felt from Yaten overrode it completely. At that moment, all Ashley felt was pure bliss as he moved into her. He pulled out ever so slightly, then thrust back in and she moaned with utter ecstasy at the pleasure she felt. Yaten set up a rhythmic pattern of moving in and out, sending Ashley into Heaven with bliss. Yaten was in heaven, the pleasure he felt plus what he was receiving from Ashley was rapidly sending him into sensory overload, but he forced himself to hold on because he did not want this to end so soon. He kept up his rhythm and was able to hold on as he felt Ashley's stamina increase his own. After a while the two rolled over placing Ashley on top, Yaten's hands went to grope her breasts once again while she grinded her hips against him. Soon they again had a rhythm set up and were moving as one. The mutual pleasure they felt numbed both their minds leaving them with only their instincts to guide them. They changed positions again and Ashley wrapped her slender legs around Yaten's waist, pulling him further into her and increasing the rapture she felt. Yaten unconsciously increased the tempo of his thrusts bringing them both close to the edge. Then, calling out each others names, the two lovers orgasmed as one, the sheer unbelievable pleasure sent them into a moment of pure undeniable bliss. Yaten collapsed on top of Ashley and then rolled to the side of the bed pulling out of her completely. She would have whimper at his leaving if she wasn't panting so hard. Yaten too was catching his breath, he turned to his side and looked to Ashley, "You...are...in..cred..ible." he managed to say. "So...are...you." she breathed, then leaned over to kiss him. She broke the kiss and returned to trying to even out her breathing. "Ashley," Yaten began, "why is your forehead glowing?" "Huh?" Ashley held her hand a few inches from her forehead and saw a light gray glow being reflected from her skin. The result of the sigil of Earth glowing on her head. "Hmm, Artemis warned me about that." "Minako's cat?" Yaten asked. Oops, she thought, "I'll explain later, just hold me for now." Yaten was more than happy to comply. He drew her into a tight embrace and let her rest her head against his shoulder. It wasn't long before she fell into a light sleep. Yaten was far from sleeping, every now and then he would look to his nightstand's top drawer wondering if should remove what he had stored in it. Now would be the perfect time to ask her, he thought. Steeling his nerves, Yaten pulled away from Ashley who made a complaintive noise at his departure. He reached over and opened the top drawer on his nightstand, withdrawing a small silver box from it, he then gently shook her awake. "Mmm, what is it Yaten?" she asked sleepily. He looked into her gray eye's, I can do this, he thought, we've been together five years, I CAN do this. "There's something I want to ask you, I've wanted to ask you for a while now but I could never work up the nerve. But with what happened last night I can't wait anymore." "Yaten, what is it?" she asked her heart pounding with anticipation. Yaten held the box in front of her, "Ashley Brown," he said opening the box to reveal the diamond engagement ring inside, "will you marry me?" Ashley held the box in her hand looking at the large diamond, a tear ran down her cheek, "Oh Yaten," she said throwing her arms around him and hugging him tightly, "of course I will." He smiled and took the ring out of the case, then placed it on her finger, it fit perfectly. "I love you, Ashley, with all my heart and soul, forever." Ashley reached down and pulled the sheets over them, "I love you too, Yaten, I have since the day we met." She said as she snuggled close to him again. The lover's then fell asleep in each others arms. *** The next morning Yaten and Ashley decided to go out and spend the day in the city, do some shopping, then catch a movie. They were walking through the park when they ran into Seiya, he was running down the walkway when Yaten called out, "Seiya! Over here bro!" Seiya walked over to them, "Morning Yaten, I trust everything has been straightened out?" His tone didn't match his demeanor, he looked as though he had just escaped an attempt on his life, Ashley also caught the hint of a perfume from him, there's something familiar about that perfume, she thought. She drew a conclusion from her knowledge of men. "You got laid last night, didn't you?" she said bluntly. The name of the perfumes owner suddenly came to her mind, "With Usagi!?" "Well...I..aaa.." Seiya stammered. "No wonder you look like a dear caught in headlight's." Yaten said jokingly, "Did Haruka find out or something?" "No, Michiru bailed me out for some reason." Seiya said when he found his voice. He noticed the ring on Ashley's finger, "So you FINALLY asked her." He said to Yaten, then smiled, "Well, now Haruka will be to busy trying to kill you to worry about me if she find's out." He said walking off toward the apartment. "Cya round, if you're still alive tomorrow that is." "He never changes." Yaten muttered. They continued their walk through the park in relative silence, the only sounds were those of the birds chirping in the trees. Yaten and Ashley didn't speak as they were content just to be with one another. "Hold it right there!" a VERY familiar voice said behind them. They turned to see Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru standing behind them. Haruka was dressed in a men's button up shirt and pants while Michiru and Hotaru were both wearing blouses and skirts. Haruka walked toward them giving Yaten a menacing stare. "I thought I told you...whoa!!!" was as far as she got as Ashley grabbed the front of her shirt and pushed her against a nearby tree and pinned her there. Michiru stepped forward to help her lover but Hotaru held out her arm and shook her head. "Now listen," Ashley said in a deceptively sweet voice, "I found your protectiveness of me flattering at first, but now it's become rather annoying. I'm a Big Girl and can make my own decisions. Furthermore I will date who I want when I want and there's NOTHING you can do about it." she said, then released her. "Oh yeah," she added holding up her ring, "Yaten and I are engaged now, so there." She said sticking her tongue out at Haruka. She then grabbed Yatens arm and continued their walk through the park. "Why you...I audda... grrr..." Haruka sputtered. Michiru placed her hand on Haruka's shoulder and turned her to face her. "Let it go hon." She said soothingly. "I just have her best interests in mind." Haruka whined. "I know, I know, come on lets get going, I'll give you a nice massage when we get home, okay?" Michiru said, still using her soothing tone. As they walked away from the others Yaten said to Ashley, "Remind me never to piss you off." Ashley just smiled and leaned her head against Yaten's shoulder, her thoughts pointed toward the future and what new surprises it may bring them. -End- Standard disclaimers apply.

(In case you were wondering, the glowing symbol on her forehead happens when a senshi orgasms and the paticular god that they represent prevents conception. Troy Stanton, I thank you for coming up with that idea, and hope you don't mind me using it.) A sequel to this is already underway. And for those who've asked me, yes, I will do a sequel to the Seiya/Usagi fic I wrote. Speaking of that fic, this one takes place one day before that one and ends at the same time. Oh yeah, before I forget, I may do a fic with Taiki and Ami, all you readers out there, let me know what you think of that idea. This is Lord Falcon signing off, for now. ^_^
