Chapter 4
-recap-
Rei watch the fire glaze violently before her eyes. Something terrible will come forth to her or one of her friends. She looked at the fire more, trying to decipher its message, but besides the warning nothing more. She sighed and stood up. Bowing to the sacred fire, she left to sweep up the front temple. She sighed as her hands worked with the broom.
Raven cried above her. She looked up to see them fly and make circles around her. She frowned, isn't it bad omen?
She sighed, all her life she had known that these birds wasn't as bad as they had been portrayed. So why the sudden feeling that these birds bring bad omen now when she hadn't believe it before?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She smiled. But her smile didn't reach her eyes. She stood calm in the hallway, looking at him and obviously giving him the chance to be the first one to speak. It's been so long for the both of them to see each other once again, it felt surreal.
He heaved sigh. He thought what he saw was just a trick of his imagination. Yet he still ran after her, feeling a familiar tug. And so he commanded his legs to ran after the image. He rounded a corner and another one until finally he was able to catch up. He's already crying while running and his tears flowed out more as he saw that his eyes never tricked him.
It's true…
She's true…
She's finally back…
She's alive…
"Usako?"
Her smile widened. But for Mamoru, her smile felt so cold. It lose the usual warmth that he felt so many years ago when the same smile was being bestowed upon him. And that's when he loss it. He lunged forward, cried and took her roughly in his arms. He didn't care anymore. She's back finally and now he has a chance to make everything right again
She just stood there doing nothing. Her face, now expressionless, look at the wall in front of her. Inside her head, evil thought are already swarming.
"Gomen…" She uttered after what seems like an eternity. She put her hands on his back and curled it into a ball, clutching his jacket. She let him cry a few more time before she roughly yanked him away from her from through his jacket.
"I'm not Usako…"
He look at her…
…she smiled half-heartedly
"…anymore. My name now is Rain. And Usagi has been long dead."

Minako had been digging through her piles of clothing, trying to find her cutest and most expensive dress. Two days ago, she signed up for an upcoming audition for the next idol. And though all of them are quite stressed now, she still have a right to dream and to fulfill that very same dream. And that is the very same reason why she's currently looking for the perfect dress which will make her stand out during the audition.
After what seems like hours, she finally found the perfect clothes. It consist of tight red leather mini-skirt, white tank top that goes until an inch above her navel, and a matching long sleeves red leather bolero. She finish the look with equally red knee-high boots, net stocking, high-ponytail and red choker.
'Dye my hair black and I will look like the rock-chick version of Rei…' she smiled at the thought of Rei coming in for an audition. She then went to her vanity and applied light make up that will enhance her natural beauty.
She stood up and look at herself up and down her full-length mirror. She popped the her CD so she could prepare herself for the performance she'll be doing. She then sang and dance at the song, making sure that everything is detailed and perfect.
She breathed heavily and calm her nerves. She knows she could do it. She'll be able to make it as an idol and when she earned enough money and connections, they will be able to use what she earned to find out what really happened to Usagi. She look at her wall where various photo of her and the scouts where and silently prayed for luck.
'This is it…'
She walk out of her room and out of the house to go to the auditions being held in Shibuya district.

He ran, as fast as he could. Looking back he tried to see if his attacker is still there. He needs to be as far away as possible if he wanted to live. Unfortunately for him, he trip and broke his right leg. Suddenly two large dogs came into the view, running after him. All he could do is scream as the dogs came to bite and wiggle him around.
A woman in black with two large men come up to him. He looked up to beg mercy and was shock to see the face of the woman who's obviously the mastermind of this attack. He'll not forget her. She's the very same woman whom he had enjoyed defiling and killing one rainy night years ago. He doesn't know how she lives
"I see you remember me… You failed to send me to hell, Now I'll make sure I'll get you there." The woman with blue eyes and blond hair told him.
The man began shouting words of mercy. But the woman remained unnerve and quickly pulled out her gun. She fired once, and purposely make the bullet just hit him slightly in the shoulder. She fired again twice and just like the first one, it only strayed and did not really hit the man.
"This time I'll make it… Goodbye, It was never my pleasure knowing you" The woman mattered as she fired three more bullets, firing in the man's body. The man then fall limp and dead. The dogs then let the man go as the man besides her chained them.
'One down, two to go' The woman thought as she remembered how these three men defiled her years ago. Now she's not gonna stop until she had exact revenge

Rei, Ami and Makoto waited at the bus stop. For the nth time, Rei looked at her watch. She's getting to be impatient as second pass by. It's not her affair anyway and whether or not she's late doesn't matter. A minute later, Minako rounded the corner, frantically running to the bust stop. She halted right in-front of her friends.
"Baka! You're late!" Rei Shouted. Ami and Makoto just stood there, letting Minako breath.
"Why… are… you… here?" Minako said in between breaths
"We're here to cheer you up on the auditions" Ami said smiling and cheering her friend up. She touched her shoulder so that Minako would know what she means. Minako look up to her and smiled warmly
"Yeah, we know you can make it cause you're the best. If ever anybody will taunt you there, I'll beat them" Makoto said and show her balled fist.
That moved Minako. She quickly grab the three of them into a hug. She's glad for them coming with her on the auditions. Eventhough she's confident on her performance, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She's good but what if someone is better? She was about to cry when Ami told her to stop.
"Comon Mina-chan, you're gonna mess up you're make up if you cry." Ami reprimand. Makoto agreed by nodding her head
"You guys… Thank you so much…"
"Yeah, yeah you can release us now. We really have the right as a human being to breath properly you know." Rei muttered.
"Thank you too Rei." Minako said and hug Rei especially tight before releasing her. Rei rolled her eyes and signaled the empty taxi cab to stop at them.
"Whatever, we better hurry if you want to make it on time. And don't worry about the fare, its on me." Rei said. On the outside she's scowling, but deep inside she's cheering her friend on.

Mamoru sighed. Last night he had finally found her again. Yet she's not the same. It's not the same Usagi he had known and love. What bothers him the most is the fact that she had to change her name. Why? Granting that he knows why she feels the need to change her whole being. She's been through worst because of them, most especially because of him.
"Usako… I missed you so much" He sighed as he painfully look at an old picture of them together. The picture shows him and Usagi together. It's too late but only now did he notice how unhappy Usagi look in the picture despite her beautiful smile. He know now the reason of that unhappiness. It's because of his stupid insensitiveness and pride. Last night still bother him so much. She coldly brush him away. Yes he deserves it but, he also felt that he deserves to explain himself.
He sat up from lying in his couch. He dreaded to know what made Usagi from the loving and caring to a cold and aloof. He shuddered to know how much all of them made her suffer that it resorted for her to be like this. She had become him. He had been into worse that's why he become insensitive. Now he wondered how much worse did she go through…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She look from behind the curtain into a swarm of girls filing up front the stage for the audition. She had been right. She knows a particular someone will be there. Someone that have blue eyes and blond hair like her. She smiled evilly as everything is going as how she planned it. She looked at her watch. Now's the time to make her grand re-entrance into their lives. Now she's going to make them regret.
She pushed through the backstage and into the center stage to give her opening remarks. As she did so, four women gasps...

I know its short and I do know a part of this chapter is too violent.
Sorry for the long wait. I know that "I'm busy" excuse is too lame. But I really was busy. For the time I was away, I had finished my thesis, graduated and currently working. So I rarely got time to write. But I will stick to my promise that I will finish this story. This chapter is shorter. I really do apologize for that but I'll really make sure I finish until chapter 7 within this year. I hope you'll be patient with me and still continue reading. Thanx!!
Signing off
