Hello there! I'm back with a mini two (or possibly three-) part drabble. Regarding the last drabble, yes they did forget her 18th birthday in the last chapter. But she had many chances to tell them, she didn't and Motoki didn't know that. Soo that was what was happening.

This drabble can be a bit confusing because this is not the ending.

Just a bullet

1202 words

Rated K for a bit of description on gun shot wound.

"Quiet down, it's just a bullet." The 18 years old odango blonde hissed to the girls around her. Her body felt numb against the concreate wall behind her. They all yell back in protest. They had seen this coming. And yet they couldn't do anything about it. Truth to be told, the blonde was just putting on a tough face so the pain doesn't show, she was failing very badly though. She bit the inside of her cheek as the black cat walked toward her, her vision started to blur.

Stopping at about where her feet is, the black cat sighed. How could they be so careless? With Mamoru back in America to finish what he started in Harvard, it had been two long years for Usagi. They called and talked on the phone every night. Ikuko and Kenji had offered paying the phone bills for her since it would've cost her a lot for just texting. Luna, the infamous black cat with the cresent moon 'bold spot', could see it on the girl's face that she missed him terribly despite their situation.

"Luna?" Artemis called. Luna looked over to him with a frown and looked to the wound on Usagi's abdomen. Someone had shot her. She spinned last minute to protect herself, but still got hit. It had taken the girls at least 5 minutes to get here due to the fact that they were on the other side of the town. Blood was dripping from her stomach. She looked pale. Luna walked toward her and carefully leaned on her, making sure she wasn't touching the wound. She whispered into Usagi's ear.

"You don't have to act tough infront of us. The more you deny the pain, the more it will hurt." Usagi flinched slightly and opened her mouth to protest, but she immediately stopped as her whole entire being started hurting immensely. She let out a anguishing scream, obviously in pain. She felt her world slipping away but tried to grab on to the last of her life as she tried to listen to the words the girls around her were saying.

"Usagi-chan! We need to get you to the hospital!" Ami said, her voice weavering in panick. Usagi's world started spinning and turning and slipping away. She barely nodded before she knew that she had lost too much blood.

She chuckled bitterly. Really should've put more pressure on that wound while I waited for the girls to come. She thought while she felt someone carry her on their back and started running.

Makoto ran as fast as she could, the rest of the girls right behind. Blood was now staining her white denim jacket. That's gonna be fun to wash off. She thought as Usagi's head lolls around Makoto's back. Makoto had carried her on her back ever since the girl became unconscious. They had ran almost half the town by now. Makoto looked behind her, Haruka had no trouble keeping up, Makoto had no doubt because Haruka was in a track club. Michiru trailed beside her, looking concerned. Hotaru and Setsuna ran with Rei and the rest.

They arrived at the hospital about 5 minutes later. Makoto immediately started spilling out words at the front desk. The poor lady at the front desk watched in horror as Makoto kept on talking. She looked past the crazy brunette and saw the blonde on her back. She seemed to be unconscious. The lady flagged down a doctor walking by and told her about the unconscious blonde.

"Doctor Hazeru, we have an emergency with this group of people. The brunette wouldn't stop talking or calm down and there seems to be a unconscious girl on her back. I can't see anything from here. She looks to be about 18 and the source of her unconsciousness is unidentified." the lady, a nurse, said to Dr. Hazeru. Doctor Hazeru, a 30 years old woman with hazel-colored eyes, nodded and walked toward the group. Upon seeing her colleague's daughter, she smiled.

"Ami-chan! What a surprise! Mizuno-san is in the middle of a surgery right now, how can I help you?" Dr. Hazeru said to Ami. The currently fractic blue-haired girl took a breath before talking.

"Hazeru-san, my friend, Tsukino Usagi, you know? The blonde with odango? Bubbly, bouncy, always smiling?" Ami started, making sure the doctor was following what she was saying before continuing. " She got shot in her abdomen and is unconsious. Can you perform a surgery for her?"

Dr. Hazeru bit her lips. A shot in the abdomen is very fatal and usually, the victims don't survive the wound. She looked around Ami and saw at least 5 other girls looking just as fractic as Ami, around her. She felt a tug at the sleeve of her white gown and looked. A black-ish haired girl looked at him with teary eyes.

"Doctor, please, please help her..." The girl said. She looked to be no more then 15 and yet Hazeru can't help but feel her own heart break as she gave them her answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't even if I wanted to. The rooms are all filled and I can not perform a surgery with my current knowledge about wounds caused by gun shots or without proper equipment." Hazeru said. She watched with a melancholy face as Ami backed up and nodded. The blue haired girl bowed her head slightly to hide her eyes with her bangs. Dr. Hazeru walked away, furious at herself for not being able to do more.

Ami clenched her fists, there has to be something they can do. But what? If the hospital wasn't available, they need their own surgeon. Then, they need some place to operate the surgery. Ami had studied slightly about surgeries and situations like this, but one thing she was sure of. They need to move fast to solve this problem.

"Rei, is there anyone at the temple right now?" Ami said, the gears in her head turning. Rei shook her head. Ami smiled a bit. She looked over to Makoto.

"Go, the temple. Now! I've got a plan!" Ami said. Makoto nodded and adjusted the Usagi's position on her back. The group ran as fast as they could.

Once they arrived at the temple, Rei helped Ami pulled out a long table. Makoto set Usagi down on that table, then Ami made everyone but Setsuna wait in another room. She opened the first aid kit Minako found in the bathroom and searched around for tools. She gathered all the materials and turned to Setsuna.

"Do you have any medicial knowledge?" Ami asked. Setsuna nodded. Ami smiled and gave her a pair of latex gloves.

"I thought you did. All we can do right now is to get the bullet out of her one way or another." Ami started and walked over to the table where Usagi lied, seemingly lifeless. Hang in there, Usagi-chan! Ami thought, We'll get through this together...
