She was 29 years old. Best known for her role as Seiya Kou/Sailor Starfighter from Bishoujo Soldier Sailormoon. My story is dedicated to her. May she rest in peace. A tribute to her is on this page: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Field/8016/shiho.html Then You Look At Me (Chapter Five: Recalled to Life) By: JLaLa (jlynpinay@aol.com) ************************************************************************ "AHHHH!", Usagi groaned in pain though it came out a small squeak. Where was her husband?! "Mamo-chan? Where is he?" "Ma'am after you slapped him in the face he ran crying", The nurse said as she adjusted the pillow and checked the monitor. Usagi gasped for breath and the nurse took her hand while smoothing her hair. "Don't worry dear, he'll be fine" "He really loves me you know", Usagi breathed. "Sometimes I'm so bad to him" The nurse shook her head disagreeing. "It's true but I love him so much and I'm about to have his baby" With that thought she smiled and followed it with a loud scream. "AHHHHHHH!" "I think it's about time to let him to the battlefield", The doctor remarked. "In a few minutes you're about to be a mother, Mrs.Chiba" *********************************************************************** "Okay Mamoru, BREATHE", Seiya emphasized and let the father-to-be take his deep breaths. In the few months they had Mamoru and Seiya had become best friends though hard to believe. For Mamoru it was like Seiya was his little brother and for Seiya it seemed that Mamoru was the big brother who always helped him out. It had been out of sympathy that Mamoru had befriended at first but in time they began to trust each other and in that a bittersweet friendship formed. The thing was, inside of Seiya's heart he still held a deep longing and desire for Usagi who remained his friend through it all. The rivalry was there no doubt but the two felt they should keep it underwraps. "Seiya...I can't go in there...she slapped me...", Mamoru said panicking and hyperventilating almost. "...I'm scared...I'm going to be a dad" He looked up at Seiya with fear in his eyes. "I'm gonna have someone to take care of and I don't know how" "No one does", He replied. "But the thing is you're a good guy and I KNOW you'll be a good dad. Just gotta have a little faith you will" He smiled reassuringly. "And plus...you've got a bunch of bonafide babysitters out there in the hall" Mamoru nodded and smiled. Fixing himself up he got ready to leave but suddenly turned to his friend. "Seiya...come with me", Mamoru pleaded. "...I'm more scared than you think" Seiya nodded and followed him to the delivery room where a sweaty, tired and VERY Usagi laid in her hospital bed. "Usako, how are you feeling?" "How do you THINK I'm feeling?", Usagi asked, her eyes flashing. "I'm lying here in PAIN while you sit there in a nice, clean and not sweaty hospital suit and watch me squeeze this child out into the world..." With that she started crying. "...I hate you!" "You don't mean that Odango", Seiya said and took her wet hand. She was quick to reprise him by grabbing his long hair. "What do YOU know?", Usagi said. "You're on HIS side" Pushing him away she cried out in pain. "Nobody can feel my pain!" "Mrs.Chiba, PUSH", The doctor commanded. "AHHHHHHH", She said her mouth pursed. Usagi concentrated and Mamoru watched as the crescent moon on her forehead started to glow a bright yellow. The doctor stood in awe for a minute. "AHHHHHH" A explosion of light filled the room and before they knew it there stood Sailor Mercury who had just delivered the baby. The doctor and his nurses had been passed out on the floor. Usagi sat up, tears in her deep blue eyes and she smiled. "Is that my baby?" Mercury nodded and detransformed. "A girl, a beautiful, big baby girl", Ami said crying as she handed the child to Usagi. "Chibi-Usa, Neo-Princess Serenity..." "We have a daughter", Mamoru breathed and sat on the bed with his wife. He held out his finger and his little one grabbed on to his index finger. "My sweet Chibi-Usa, you've come back to us" He kissed Usagi's forehead. "I love you Usako" "I know Mamo-chan, I know...", She said lovingly to Mamoru and then looked up at Seiya. "Seiya, say hello to your god-daughter, you're an uncle. Come give her a kiss" Hesitantly he went toward them and was handed the child. She smelt sweet. "Hello baby...I'm your uncle Seiya", He introduced himself and kissed the child's forehead. His eyes filled with tears of happiness. "From now on you're my special girl" He looked up at Usagi who he knew was his first special girl and smiled at her. This was what life was all about it. ************************************************************************ "Ohhhh she's SO cute!", Minako cooed into the bassinet. In a small bunny baby suit laid Chibi-Usa who eyes looked at Minako in curiousity. "I love her already!" Taking a small stuffed animal Minako danced it around the crib and the response was a shrill cry from the baby. "Honey, I think it's about time you got away from her...", Yaten said and took his girlfriend away from the crib. The next two to see the baby were Rei and Yuuichirou. Leaning her hand against the bassinet Rei's golden wedding band shone in the light. "She's adorable...I want one too!", Rei pronounced and the others laughed at the look on Yuuichirou's face. "One at a time honey, we've only been married for a month", He said. "She looks just like you Usa", Makoto remarked as she took the baby from her crib and held her. Chibi-Usa gurgled contentdly at all the attention she was getting and Ami wrapped the blanket around the baby more snuggly. "I thought that she would come once Crystal Tokyo had risen", Ami said and looked at Setsuna who was in the midst of knitting a baby bonnet. Her dark eyes met Ami's blue eyes. "What I know I can't revealed, things have a way of changing themselves", She said hauntingly and went back to the bonnet. "How is our princess?" A cry came from the child and Makoto handed her the baby. "Very hungry", Usagi said and took the child to her chest. The men in the room turned bright red and turned quickly. "I'm...gonna...go out to eat!", Seiya said and walked out quickly. "And I'm gonna joined you!", Yaten also said turning pale. "Me too!", Taiki said. "Count me in!", Yuuichirou said and ran out with them. Minako, Rei, Ami and Makoto laughed and continued to help organize the nursery while Haruka and Mirichu watched Usagi continue to feed her child. Hotaru folded the baby clothes and Mamoru who had just walked in as all the men RAN out went to his family's side. He loved the word. Family. Saying it each time gave him a great rush of happiness and filled the whole inside him that darkened him for so long and as long as he lived he'd be thankful for his Usako who give it all to him. "She's so small Usagi", Mirichu remarked looking at the child who was being burped. A sense of wanting and adoration came over her. "You wanna hold her?", She asked and Mirichu backed away. "I couldn't-" "Come on" "I dunno...", She said and without another word Usagi handed her over. Looking at Haruka with scared eyes she held the baby as if it was made of glass. Her eyes filled with tears. "She's so beautiful!" The tears fell and everyone smiled at Mirichu's outburst of affection. Haruka put an arm around her. "Small Lady..." "How about we let Haruka hold her?", Usagi suggested. "No way-OOF!" The baby was quickly put in her hands and Haruka put the baby at arm's length. "Hold it like you'd hold a football", Makoto suggested. "This is how I'D hold a football!", She said and scowled. "I'm a racer not a football player damnit!" Usagi stood up and showed her the proper way to hold a baby. Looking into the baby's sweet ruby eyes Haruka softened. "It's not so bad...I guess..." "Who knew something so precious would be such a pain coming out", Mamoru remarked thinking of the slaps Usagi had delivered to his face. Usagi looked at him and shook her head. "If you MEN only knew" ************************************************************************ ~One Year Later~ Seiya parked his black sports car in front of the light pink house. He hadn't been there in months. The Three Lights had made their comeback and after their cd had gone gold he had went on tour. Looking at the mailbox he grinned at the small bunny painted on it and the name 'CHIBA' painted on it. Holding his back he made his way to front door and rang the doorbell. A woman with long blond hair and the sweetest eyes you'd ever seen answered. Odango. And holding on to her leg was a small child who's hair was up in little buns, her innocent eyes looked at him. "SEIYA!", Usagi squealed and ran into his arms. Holding her tight the feeling in his heart seemed to compress in a tight ball. The love he felt for her seemed to haunt him every moment of his life. "It's been so long!" "No matter what I do Usagi, you've been on my mind", He said and they were silent for a moment. "Still as beautiful as before" Seiya squatted down to Chibi-Usa's height and held out an familiar looking doll with a crescent moon wand. "I thought you'd like her, she looks a lot like your mom" He winked at Usagi who let a small laugh. "Pwesent! OH MOMMA IT'S YOU!", Chibi-Usa said and when she hugged the doll the muffled sounds of the doll calling out attacks flowed in the room. "She has a extensive vocab for a one-year-old", Seiya remarked and the kid was suddenly shy again hiding behind her mother's long leg. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself Chibi-Usa, I'm your uncle Seiya" "Uncow Seiya?", She said questioningly and looked up at her mom who nodded. "Give your uncle a hug darling", Usagi said and to his surprise Chibi-Usa threw her arms around his muscular leg. He picked her up and kissed her cheek. Usagi saw her daughter was beginning to ADORE Seiya. "Still a ladykiller, ne?" He looked at her and she gave him a captivating smile. "Come in, Yuuichirou and Rei are coming over, and so is your brother and Minako" "I haven't seen Yaten in months since I've been promoting the cd by myself", Seiya informed her. "How are the two doing?" "Your DEAR brother has gotten Minako PREGNANT", Usagi said. "What do you say about that?" "How many months? I can't believe he didn't tell me!", Seiya said. "She's about ready to pop, he said that it was hard to get in contact since you've been traveling so much" "Come in", She urged him and Seiya entered unaware that they were being watched. *********************************************************************** "You're HUGE!", Seiya said as he hugged Minako. Nine months and waiting Minako Aino stood beaming at him in a vision of sweetness. How serene she looked. "I'm gonna be an uncle again!" "Who knew it'd be so soon", Rei said as Yuuichirou sat next to her. "Yeah but I'm gonna be a dad", Yaten said happily. Seiya looked at his brother's happy face and a moment of envy came over him. Often he had been with women, physically and never emotionally. In his heart he held Usagi so close that the pain would make him feel as if he was going to combust. He thoughts were quickly interupted by the sound of a door slamming. And the familiar dark-haired man came in wearing a white coat and a tag saying 'Dr.Chiba' "Daddy!", Chibi-Usa said and let her father scoop her in his arms lovingly. "I missed you baby", Mamoru said to his little girl. "Gimme a hug" She quickly obliged and let her mom sneak a hug. "My beautiful Usako, how are you today?" "I missed you but we've got company" He looked over her shoulder meeting Seiya's eyes and his face lit up. "Seiya! What are you doing here?", Mamoru asked. Instead of the rude way he had asked the same question last year it was said with happiness, a loving way. He had missed his pretend 'brother'. "I missed you bro" "It's been too damn long Mamoru", He replied in the same happiness. "Touring was fun but I missed all my friends" "Tell me about it", Mamoru said and sat down. "Busy, parties everynight and girls, LOTS of girls", Seiya said and suddenly had all the men in the room listening. He opened his bag and handed an album with pictures of various girls. Seiya looked up at Usagi in sadness, none of them compared to her. "Oh WOW", Yuuichirou breathed. "That redhead is HOT" Raye scowled. "I mean she's OKAY" "She's nothing compared to that brunette", Yaten said and Minako swatted him in the arm. "But I myself prefer beautiful blondes" "Hell especially this one", Mamoru cooed unaware that Usagi stood behind him. "She is cute!" Everyone looked down knowing that Mamoru was in TROUBLE. He looked at them and winced. "She's right behind me, isn't she?" They nodded. "You're so in trouble", She said quietly and walked off. "OHHH", Makoto said coming from the kitchen. "You're SO in the doghouse" "Presents are about the best thing for you right now", Ami advised. Walking into the room Usagi was in they heard the sound of begging, pleading and the loud *CRASH* of glass hitting the wall. Mamoru and Usagi walked into the room, actually Mamoru was CRAWLING. "Usako, I swear you are the MOST beautiful, MOST enchanting girl-no women in this universe. And for me Usako, there's no one for me but YOU", He said sincerely and he hugged her legs like a child. "I love you" "I know", Usagi said and smiled peeked into her lovely face. "You can get up now" "Can anyone say 'whooped'?", Haruka smirked and Mirichu quickly gave her lover a nasty look. "I'll just sit down now" "Good save Mamoru", Hotaru said as she played with Chibi-Usa. She had come with Haruka and Mirichu who she was staying with. Setsuna had some sort of Time Gate thing going on. Seiya watched on and it seemed that a sadness began to grow in him. Usagi stood near him with her husband close to her. How he needed to hold her, even if it was for a moment. Tears filled his eyes bitterly when they were interupted by the apperance of Sailor Pluto. "Princess, I have bad news", She said. Usagi looked at her and unlike when she was young she put a calm look on her face, it was almost regal. "What is it?", She asked quietly and took hold of her child. "Someone has crossed the Time Gate", Setsuna said and looked down ashamed. "I let it happen amongst the commotion, I am ashamed" "No, you have done a GREAT job", Usagi assured her. "I am proud of you" "We have received a message from the visitor", She informed them. "Ami look in your computer database, the message was left there" Quickly she typed into her base and their eyes widened at the one word on the computer.
