*** 04 ***
Makoto lay on the bed that she was on. The procedure
was almost complete. Makoto tried to stay awake, but
Makoto had given lots of blood for the sake of Usagi.
Usagi was more than a friend. She was the 'Princess'
she was sworn to protect no matter what. But the
recent manipulations in her dreams had caused Makoto
and the others to turn on Usagi and Usagi fought
a droid alone just to prove that Usagi wasn't weak
or lazy. But, now Usagi's life was now on the line.
Makoto looked at Usagi. Usagi was in a coma and it
would be along time before Usagi would awaken again.
Makoto smiled a bit as she thought of the friend she
was trying to save. Ikuko walked up to Makoto and
she spoke to her.
"You care for Usagi, don't you?"
Ikuko asked.
"Yes, more than anything, but we all recently went against
Usagi because of her bad traits, but I realize that I was
wrong for the accusations we had against Usagi. I hope
Usagi could forgive me and the others."
Makoto replied in a weakened tone.
"Usagi is full of love isn't she? She couldn't hate you.
If she was awake, I am sure she would forgive you. Doesn't
that mean something to you?"
Ikuko asked her.
"You're right Mrs. Tsukino. Usagi is very special to me."
Makoto smiled again. The nurse checked Makoto. The Nurse
smiled at her. And the nurse spoke.
"It's complete for you."
The nurse told Makoto as she stopped the flow of blood
and then the nurse took out the tube that had drawn Makoto's
blood and then put cotton to stop the flow of blood and then
a band-aid to keep the cotton in place. The nurse spoke again.
"Thank you for helping her. You need some something to eat and
you need to rest. You have given lots of blood and your body
needs to recover. In a few days, you will be back to normal,
but for Usagi, her road to recovery will take much longer.
Now, you need to rest."
The nurse told her. Shingo walked over to Makoto and looked at
Usagi for a moment and then looked back at Makoto. He spoke.
"Will you be alright?"
Shingo asked. Makoto looked at Shingo and smiled.
"I will be okay, it's your sister I am concerned for."
Makoto replied as she looked at Usagi and then she looked
at Shingo.
"Please, don't worry about me. I am very strong. I can endure
this."
Makoto spoke. She was tired. The nurse came in with some food
to help Makoto regain her strength after the blood transfusion.
Makoto could walk through fire just to keep her friend alive.
Usagi meant a lot to Makoto. Makoto slowly ate what she was given.
The nurse brought her some orange juice as well. Usagi's parents
and Shingo went back out into the waiting room and Mamoru
and ChibiUsa came in. ChibiUsa walked up to Makoto.
"Are you okay Mako-Chan?"
Chibiusa asked.
"I am fine, ChibiUsa. I am a bit tired. Mamo-San, I did my
best to save Usagi..."
Makoto replied in a weakened tone. The nurse came back in.
"Makoto needs to rest now, you need to say goodbye for
now. When she awakes again, then you can see her."
The nurse told them. Mamoru spoke.
"Mako-Chan, please get some rest. I know that Usako would
thank you if she were awake. We will be waiting for you
in the waiting room."
Mamoru told her.
"Please get well Mako-Chan."
ChibiUsa told her.
"Thank you. Go now, okay. I will be okay."
Makoto tried to let them know that she will be
okay. Mamoru took ChibiUsa with him out of the
room. Makoto put her head on her pillow and turned
her head towards Usagi.
"Usagi, I hope you can recover."
Makoto spoke to a comatose Usagi. Makoto closed
her eyes and let sleep overtake her.
Elsewhere at the Base of The Black Moon.
Wiseman appeared to Prince Demande and to Esmeraude. Then he spoke
to them.
"Esmeraude, you did good by releasing that last droid, but you did bad
that you caused Sailor Moon to be terribly hurt, but on the other hand,
that troublesome girl is out of our way and that will make the rabbit
easier to catch. Make sure you don't foul up next time. Demande, did you
do as I instructed you?"
The Wiseman spoke to both Demande and to Esmeraude. Demande replied.
"Yes Wiseman. I planted in the Inner Senshi's dreams manipulations that
you gave me. It seemed to work for awhile, but now they seem to be more
unified than before. We need someway of putting those Senshi in some kind
of bind."
Demande replied. Then he gave the Wiseman his plan.
"Oh, you can send one of your droids for the Senshi to fight. It will be
tough fight without their friend helping them, the battle will be hard
on them."
The Wiseman announced.
"Wiseman, I will do as you suggest. I will send a droid."
Demande agreed.
Back at the hospital, Mamoru, the Tsukino Family, Rei and the others
awaited for some news about Makoto. Rei stood up.
"Where are you going Rei?"
Minako asked.
"I just would like to spend some time alone. Don't worry, I will be okay."
Rei told them.
"Okay, please keep in touch if something happens."
Mamoru told her.
"I will."
Rei replied. Rei left the hospital for the Hikawa Shrine. Rei ran down the
streets. She felt so guilty about yelling at Usagi. And now Usagi was in
a coma and wasn't able to awaken on her own. Rei knew Usagi had a long way
to recover. Rei knew that those strange manipulations in her dreams caused
Rei to yell at her friend. Rei felt terrible. Rei hoped now that Usagi
could recover so that Rei could properly apologize. But Usagi was a long
way off from waking. Her fate now lay in the hands of the staff at the local
hospital and her friends. Usagi was now defenseless and was unable to protect
herself now if she was attacked. But, Mamoru, Minako, and Ami remained at the
hospital awaiting the first sign of Makoto waking again. They were hoping that
one day Usagi would awake too.
