"Usagi, Look out!"
Usagi looked up to see a large youma racing towards her. Grunting, she jumped to the left. Too late she realized her mistake.
~*~*~
"Usa, you're gonna be fine, you'll be okay," Mamoru whispered softly.
She knew he was lying, the tears in his eyes and the utter anguish in his voice told her that her wound was deadly. The youma attack had been skillfully planned. They had expected her to jump to the side and the more dangerous youma had been waiting for her. Her side was bleeding profusely where the claws had entered her body. She may have recovered from that, but the claws had been tipped in a very fast acting poison. It was deadly if it entered the bloodstream. Judging from the amount of blood flowing from her wound, Usagi guessed it had. She raised a hand and gently touched Mamoru's face.
"Mamo-chan," she said quietly, "Please don't lie to me, I am going to die."
"Usagi-chan," came a broken whisper from her right.
She looked up, her blue eyes meeting crimson.
She held out a hand, "Chibi-Usa," she whispered, a small smile touching her face.
"Mama!" The girl exclaimed, rushing into her arms.
Usagi enfolded the girl in a large, yet somewhat weak, hug.
"Oh, Chibi-Usa," she murmured, her own voice breaking as her eyes filled with warm tears, "Please, don't cry."
Mamoru reached down and stroked a hand along Chibi-Usa's hair.
"Chibi-Usa," he said, "Can I speak to Usako for just a moment," he paused, "Please?"
The young girl nodded, wiping tears from her eyes before standing and walking solemnly, if brokenly, into Setsuna's arms.
"Usako," he began, "If you, if you," his voice broke.
"Die?" she supplied, "Say it Mamo-chan, 'If I die.'"
"Alright, if you die," he swallowed hard, "So will she, she is from the future, she can't live without you."
Usagi nodded, "I know," she met his eyes, "That's why I need you to promise me that you will find a way to keep her alive until I find a way to live."
"Usa, I don't think, I mean, it's just not possible."
"It's not possible for cats to talk either. Or for a sixteen year old to be the undefeated champion of the world as we know it. But somehow, it has happened," she took a deep breath and flinched, pain washing over her features for the first time since she was cut, "I love that girl, probably as much as I love you, so please, Mamo-chan, find a way for her."
"I promise Usako, I swear it on my love for you and the fate of this world."
She nodded.
"Senshi," she said, addressing the nine girls standing near them, "I need you to be strong, I'll find my way back to you, but until then, you'll have to do this without me."
She coughed, covering her mouth with one pale hand to hide the blood.
"I love you guys, don't forget me, okay?"
"Never Usagi-chan," Rei said, "No one could ever forget you. We'll find a way to get you back, even if it takes the rest of our lives."
"Thank you, Rei-chan, now I must ask a favor of you," she smiled softly, "I need you to be the leader for a while. Just like you've always wanted, huh?"
The senshi of fire brushed tears from her amethyst eyes as she nodded, "Yeah, like I always wanted."
"Setsuna," she whispered, motioning to the senshi of time, "Take care of my baby alright; I'll find out if you don't. So take real good care of her."
Suddenly, a small black bundle of fur leaped into her arms.
"Usagi-chan!" Luna exclaimed, "Oh, Usa, I'm so sorry I was harsh on you, if I had known that-"
"That I would die? You would treat me the same way. Luna, you helped make me who I am today, I love you. I love you all."
Haruka kneeled next to her and put a hand on Mamoru's shoulder.
"Odango...Princess, we'll do our best without you," she paused before smiling unsteadily, "It just won't be the same without the ear breaking wails."
Usagi laughed, "Gods, I'll miss you guys."
"We'll miss you too, Usa," Ami whispered.
"Goodbye," Usagi smiled.
Then, leaning up slowly, she kissed Mamoru and breathed her final breath.
