Shitsuren ("broken hearted")
Part 1
************
Chibimoon rolled out of the way as Moon launched a flying kick.
"You're supposed to counter attack," Jupiter explained to the younger Senshi. "Sailor Moon, come at me like that."
Moon's eyes widened. "Are you crazy!?"
"She's not going to hurt you, Sailor Moon," Ami reasoned.
"If you won't , baka, I will!" Mars said haughtily.
"No, no, I got it," she replied. Sailor Moon then ran towards Jupiter, repeating the same attack. Jupiter grabbed her foot and, as gently as possible, slammed her into the ground.
"Owie..." Moon said, rubbing her rear.
"See what I did?" Jupiter asked Chibimoon.
Chibimoon nodded. "Haaaai...can I practice it now?"
Ami nodded. "Go on, Sailor Moon."
"Why is it always me," she muttered, attacking Chibimoon.
Chibmoon copied Jupiter, avoiding the foot somewhat, then grabbing it and flinging her mother to the ground. "Yay!"
"Oi... we should stop now," Sailor Moon told them. Besides the fact her rump was sore, she and Chibiusa needed to get to the grocery store for her mom.
"We can't practice anymore?" Chibiusa whined.
"We need to pick up the groceries for Mama, remember?"
"Oh, haaai... Anyone else wanna come with us?"
"I have my cooking class in an hour," Makoto replied.
"I've got to get back to the temple," Rei said.
Ami smiled. "I would, but we have that test in two weeks and I need to study. I'm already behind."
"And I'm going shopping!" Minako exclaimed. "Then I might drop by the arcade and visit Motoki..."
Everyone else sweatdropped at this. "I guess it's just us," Chibiusa said.
"Okay," Usagi said. "Ja ne!" The girls said their good byes, planning to meet at the Shrine early in the morning.
***********
After getting all the groceries, the girls stumbled home. "Do I really hafta carry this all?" Chibiusa whined. "It's so big and akward, I'm afraid it'll spill everywhere."
"I'd help you, but I'm having a hard time juggling two bags myself, Chibiusa."
"I can't even see overtop of mine." Just as she said that, Chibiusa's bag split, spilling it's contents. "Rats!" she exclaimed, chasing after the goods that went rolling in every direction. "Finally," she said, standing up after grabbing the last stray melon.
Usagi had stopped for a moment, adjusting her bags. She looked above them just in time to see Chibiusa standing in the middle of the street... with a car baring down on her! She wasn't going to reach her so Usagi threw the bags down and called out to her. "Chibiusa, watch out!"
"Nani?" Chibiusa turned to see a car barelling down upon her. The car's brakes squealed, and she tried to jump out of the way, but it was too late. She went rolling up and over the hood, then fell off to the side.
"Chibiusa!" Usagi cried out again, racing towards her. She plowed her way through the crowd that had gathered and knelt next to her. "Chibiusa!" The girl didn't respond. "Could someone call an ambulance, kudasai!"
A man was already on his cell phone. "The ambulance will be here soon," he reassured.
"A-arigatou..." Usagi looked back at Chibiusa. *Kami, let her be all right!*
***************
Usagi paced back and forth. She was so worried about Chibiusa... What is Mamoru going to think? What about her friends? *They're going to hate me!*
Speaking of Mamoru, Usagi realized she needed to call him so she walked over to the phones. "M-mamo-chan..." she whispered when he answered.
"Usako! What's wrong?!"
"Chibiusa..."
"Nani yo? What happened?"
Usagi took a deep breath. "She... a car... we're at the hospital."
"Is she..."
"Iie!" she replied. "I-I need you..."
"I'll be right there!"
Usagi hung up the phone and paced around for another few minutes. Drained, she sat in one of the chairs. She couldn't believe what had happened. Chibiusa is her future daughter! How could she betray her like that! She's supposed to protect her from harm. Usagi stared straight ahead and thought the same thing over and over in her head... *It's all my fault.*
"Usako?" Mamoru saw her sitting there forlornly. Usagi didn't reply. "Usako?" he repeated, gently touching her shoulder.
She looked over at him but still didn't answer. "You're in shock," he murmured, half to himself. "We should get you a doctor too."
"Gomen..."
"For what?" Instead of replying, she flung herself into his arms. She was sure he could feel her shaking.
He wrapped his arms around her. "She'll be alright...she has to be."
"Tsukino-san." The couple looked up to see the doctor. She stood and still felt Mamoru's arm around her.
"What is it, doctor?" Mamoru knew Usagi was in no shape to answer.
"You are?"
"I'm a good friend."
The doctor nodded. "Chibiusa is in serious condition. The impact from the car caused much internal bleeding, which we were able to stop. She's still unconscious and it's hard to say for how long. She also has a broken leg."
Usagi remained quiet. She felt sick to her stomach and her head was reeling from whole situation.
Mamoru inhaled sharply. *At least she's not dead...*
"Can we see her?" Usagi finally spoke up.
"Of course, but only for a bit. She's in the Children's ICU. I have rounds so I'll send a nurse up to take you there," he replied.
*****
Usagi barely said a word as a nurse led them to Chibiusa's room. She felt Mamoru squeeze her hand, but she couldn't bring herself to look at him. She knew this whole thing was her fault. If Chibiusa didn't wake up, Usagi would never forgive herself.
She didn't even notice that they had arrived at her room, and the nurse was gone. "Usako? This is her room..." he said gently.
"I-I don't know if I can go in there," she whispered softly, staring at the door. She could still feel herself shaking.
"I'm here with you," he said, squeezing her hand again.
With a nod, Usagi slowly turned the door knob and the two stepped into the room. It was quiet except for the machines and Chibiusa's breathing. Breathing... She was still alive and Usagi had to remember that. As they neared the bed, Usagi let out a gasp. The little girl had bruises on her face and tubes everywhere. And Usagi was feeling light headed. "Kami-sama..."
"Are you going to faint?" Mamoru could feel her body getting limp. She nodded and fell into his arms. Mamoru set her down gently beside Chibiusa, until she came to again.
Mamoru sighed, and went to call Ikuko and the Senshi. He dialed Usagi's house first. Ikuko answered on the second ring. "Hello, this is Mamoru," he said.
"Mamoru-san!" Ikuko replied. "Usagi's not here right now. I'm getting a bit worried about her..."
"I"m...actually with her. And Chibiusa...She was hit by a car walking home, we're at the hospital now. The doctors have stabilized her, and she's resting in the PICU."
"Kami-sama! I'll be there as soon as possible!" Ikuko paused. "May speak with Usagi?"
"She's with Chibiusa...I'm afraid it was too much for her...she passed out. But she's otherwise alright."
"Arigatou... for taking care of my girls. I'll be there soon."
"Alright." After they had hung up, Mamoru called the other Senshi, they each having the same reaction.
Usagi moaned. "Mamo-chan..."
"Sleeping Beauty awakes," he said quietly.
"Chibiusa!" Usagi sat up with a start. "Why couldn't it have been a dream?"
"She's going to get better, Usako."
Usagi nodded. "Will you hold me?"
Mamoru nodded. "Of course." He wrapped his arms around her.
