"Usagi!!! You got a 30 on your test!?!" Ikuko Tuskino yelled at her 17 year
old daughter.
"Yes but I didn't get a chance to stu-" Usagi tried to counter when her mom cut in.
"I don't want your excuses! Get out of the house! Don't come back for dinner tonight, just stay away from me so I can cool off. Sometimes you just amaze me with your stupidity!" Her mom exclaimed.
"But-"
"You know what!? Just take your things and spend the night at some one else's house!" She rose her voice to a yell again.
There was a moment of silence.
"Mom, I-"
"Just go."
Usagi heaved a sigh, fighting back the tears that filled her eyes and threatened to spill over onto her soft cheeks. She ran out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and into her room. She packed her things into her school briefcase and had just closed it when she remembered that the scouts had called a meeting. 'Good.' She thought. 'They'll cheer me up and make me feel a little better.'
She grabbed her briefcase and ran down the stairs, almost tripping on the 3rd step, but regaining her balance and continuing on her way.
"Now look what you did baka." Her little brother said, flashing her a broad grin.
"Usagi, remember, no supper tonight." Her father called from above his newspaper.
She slammed the front door behind her and continued to run. She would be late, but she was sure her friends would understand. She smiled as she thought of her friends. They were always there to cheer her up after trouble at home or anything else. She almost started skipping at the thought of being with her closest friends. Chibi Usa was probably already there. Usagi had seen her sneaking out when her mother had been busy yelling at her.
The sky was overcast and rainclouds hovered about the city of Tokyo, and thunder could be heard in the distance. A few minutes later Usagi arrived at Rei's temple. She ran up the steps and discovered that they had decided to meet outside the temple.
"Sorry I'm late guys, I was talking to my-" She was so busy trying to explain why she was late that she hadn't noticed she still had one more step to go.
"Ouch!" She yelped as her body was flung forward, her knees and elbows plowing into the pavement. Her briefcase snapped open and slid a few feet, with her sliding not far behind.
Her friends errupted into laughter.
"You're so clumsy Usagi!!" Makoto said, unable to control her laughter.
Rei was the only one who wasn't laughing. Usagi looked up into her eyes for sympathy. Instead she found anger and impatience.
"Baka Usagi, you're late again!" Rei reminded her.
"Gomenasai, but like I was saying my mom was-"
"Yelling at her because she got a 30 on her quiz!" Chibi Usa finished for her.
"A 30!? Usagi I'm so ashamed of you! Even Chibi Usa can do better than that!" Ami said in a harsh tone.
"Yeah, one would think my daddy gets married to some one else in the future. How can SHE be my smart, loving, graceful mother?" Chibi Usa added.
Once again tears filled Usagi's eyes. But she bravely held them back and forced a weak smile.
"Usagi! We called this meeting because in the last battle you totally messed up!" Minako said firmly.
"I what?" Usagi asked, obviously confused.
"Why didn't you dodge that monster's blast? Tuxedo Kamen had to save you again. And then you took forever to kill the stupid youma, and we all were almost killed!" Rei joined in.
Usagi looked down at her now bleeding knees and elbows. Lightning flashed violently through the sky as Usagi's hurt and anger rose.
"How could you be so slow and stupid? You're so weak! You risked our lives out there!" Makoto said.
"I must say Usagi, I over estimated you. I thought you could handle being the leader of the scouts, but if this keeps up..." Luna's voice trailed off.
"You don't even deserve Mamo-chan!" Chibi Usa said, rolling her eyes.
Usagi stood up, blood trailing down her arms and legs.
"IF I'M THE ONE WHO'S SO WEAK, WHY CAN'T YOU DEFEAT YOUMA YOURSELVES!?!" She yelled as loud as she could. "You're always reminding me how stupid, clumsy, and unfit to be your leader I am! You over look the fact that I just got yelled at for getting a low score because I didn't have time to study. You know why? Because I was out fighting youma with YOU! And then I tried to explain why I was late and wasn't paying attention, and I tripped. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M BLEEDING!?! I bet you wouldn't care if I died! Everytime I become Sailor Moon I put my life on the line to save YOUR sorry butts! I'm sick of the treatment I get! I'm sick of it!"
She took off her wrist watch communicated and flung it to the ground, smashing it into tiny pieces.
"I NEVER WANT TO SEE ANY OF YOU AGAIN!" She yelled as she grabbed her briefcase and ran down the steps of the temple and out of sight.
***When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart***
Rain started pouring down from the heavens. Usagi ran faster than she had ever run in her life. No one cared about her. She had given up the life of a normal teenager to fight evil and save her friends and the world, and this is what she got for it. The rain mingled with her tears and the blood on her knees and elbows and began to wash it away. The scrapes still burned.
She reached the park and collapsed onto the soft muddy earth. She pulled her knees to her chest and layed her head down. Her sobs could barely be heard above the roar of thunder as it rolled across the clouds.
***And though you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief
And people can be so cold***
Mamoru had been out for a jog when it had started to rain. He had come prepared though, and he opened his umbrella and slowed to a walk. It began to rain harder. It almost hurt to get hit by the small drops falling from the sky. He caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look.
It was a heap of school uniform and blonde hair with a briefcase lying nearby. The heap was shaking and it almost sounded like it was crying. He then realized who it was.
"Usako!" He called softly, jogging over to her.
***When darkness is upon your door
and you feel like you can't take any more***
He put his arms around her, letting his umbrella fall to the ground with a clink of metal.
"Usako, it's alright now. I'm here..." He said, holding her close.
She had obviously had a bad day (Duh). His fingers traced her cheek soothingly as he gently rocked her back and forth.
"It's ok, Usako. I'm here now." He said.
He picked her up and put her briefcase in her lap, along with his umbrella (now closed). She was soaked to the skin, and shivering now. Thunder clapped and lightning flashed again as he walked towards his apartment at a brisk pace.
***Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone***
His shoes were filling up with water and his ebony black hair was soaking wet. Usagi was clutching his arm with one hand and the other had a firm hold on his throughly soaked shirt. He looked down at her. She looked so frail and helpless. He walked a little faster.
***When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away
and you feel like you can't face the day***
Mamoru fumbled with the key to his apartment. He unlocked the door and shut it behind him. He went to the closet and got two towels.
"Here Usagi, dry off with these." He said.
She did as she was told. He opened up her briefcase and found a dry change of clothes. He then closed it, not wanting to be a peeping Tom. He handed it to her.
"Go change in the bathroom." He told her, pointing to a door that was half way open.
***Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone***
He went into his room and changed, then came out to see Usagi sitting on the couch, still sobbing slightly. He pulled two blankets from the linen closet and went over to her. He layed her down so that she could comfortably stretch out on the couch and tucked her in with a blanket.
***Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again.***
He stroked her hair gently. "It's ok Usako." He said softly. Her crying eventually ceased, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
***When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart***
He kissed her forehead and looked at her one more time before saying, "Aishiteru Usako, and I'll always be there for you. Forever." He then fixed his blanket on the ground and he too also fell asleep.
***Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn you're not alone***
Outside the storm raged. The thunder and lightning were violent, but two people in room #203 of the apartment building were sleeping soundly, dreaming of eachother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Hey Minna-san! How was it? This was my first attempt at a song-fic. If It sounds like some one else's, I'm sorry, but I didn't try to use any one else's plot, it just kinda came to my mind and fit with the song. Please Review! Yep yep. Sorry I haven't been working on my stories lately, I'm at a boarding school now and there's so much to do. Oh yes! I forgot! Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon no matter how many times I went to the mall and sat on Santa's lap and asked him for it. Sailor Moon and all the characters belong to Naoko Takeuchi (she's brilliant!). The song belongs to Savage Garden (It's called Crash and Burn) I may not have gotten all the lyrics right, but for the most part I think I did. There's only two spots where I'm not sure... Anyway. Until next time minna! Oh wait, I'll post some of the japanese I used in here, just for those who don't have any clue what the words mean. Baka - Stupid/Idiot Minna - Every One San - Just a lil ending to put on stuff. Chan - A term of endearment Usako - This is Mamoru's nickname for Usagi Aishiteru - I love you
