Breakdown

By Sailor Phoenix1997

"What? Mamoru-san too? Unbelievable," Ami said as she rubbed her throbbing skull.

"Yes."

"And you were awake and you didn't try to stop her?" Michiru ordered.

"Yes." Haruka's face turned red.

"AND YOU COME TO US ABOUT THIS AFTER A WEEK!"

"Look I know it sounds bad but I'm sure that if the Youma attacks again they'll both show again."

"Again? With two pups to watch out for? Not likely," said Mako. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked angrily at the Fire Senshi.

"What do you want me to do? GO out and find them?"

"Uh. Yes," Minako said. A flash of purple illuminated the room as Sailor Pluto walked in.

"I know where they are."

"You could've showed up a little sooner Setsuna-mama," Hotaru said. Her face was still a little red from chicken pox.

"Sorry sweetheart. But I had to look for the Prince and Princess. If you were lost like they are I wouldn't stop until I found you. I'm sorry that I wasn't here for you sweet pea."

"Don't worry Setsuna. There'll be plenty more chances for you to take care of her while Michiru and I go somewhere."

"Oh Haruka."

"NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!" Rei screamed.

"Rei. You thought that this whole affair was your fault. I think the only way to make yourself feel any better is to go out there and find them yourself," Haruka said.

"But. But. But." Rei let out a sigh. "Oh. OK."

Usagi licked the last bit of dirt from Shoko's coat. Mamoru sat at the mouth of the den with a bone in between his forepaws. Kuro chased his tail near the back end of the den.

"Usagi! USAGI! TSKINO USAGI! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Usagi walked out of the den and looked around the clearing. Rei emerged from the shadows. Shoko and Kuro ran outside and started jumping around her feet. Usagi jumped in between of them and pushed them back with her muzzle and growled at Rei. "Um. Hi. I'm here on account of the Senshi. I have orders to take you home." Usagi backed away and turned into the forest and ran off. Mamoru looked out the mouth of the cave with Shoko and Kuro around his paws.

"I want you two to stay right here. Am I understood?"

"Yes sir. Are you and Mama coming back?" Shoko asked. Mamoru looked at the tiny female and licked her cheek.

"Of course we will." He took off running after Usagi. Kuro went back inside and curled himself into a black ball. Shoko lay her head over Kuro's warm body.

"They'll be back."

Usagi's paw print made a small puff of snow fly into the air. Sailor Mars ran after her. In a small clearing the fire Senshi grabbed onto her Princess. Just as Usagi was about to bite Rei started crying.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I was being a total jerk that day. There were so many things I wanted to call myself after that. Yuichiro was just driving me crazy and I had no control over my temper. Please Usagi-chan! I'm sorry." Two delicate hands rested on Rei's shoulders.

"Rei-chan. It's all right. It's all over."

"Usagi-chan. And I'm sorry for picking on you. I was afraid that you'd leave me behind as a Senshi so I bullied you. Also that was my way to try to be your friend."

"Oh Rei-chan." For the first time in 10 days the Senshi of fire fell asleep. In her Princess' lap. Usagi looked up at the now human Mamoru. Both of them wearing a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt.

A/N: What do you think? The Epilogue's still to come so stick around.
