To SM Fan: It's done! I hope you like it. It's probably different than the way you thought it would be, but this was the story you selected song told me. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Je ne possède pas Sailor Moon ou la chanson. Ils appartiennent à leurs propriétaires respectifs. (Yes, I am speaking French while fan writing for a Japanese anime ^.~ ) The song is Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by John Adams. Thank sm fan for requesting it! I'm still taking requests, too.
Everything I Do
Word Count: 850
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
"Please Usako, look at me!" I begged her. I couldn't stand her not looking at me, and the rare times that she did, her eyes were full of hatred. I wanted to kill myself.
"Why should I?" She snapped, her arms crossed over her chest. She stared out the window, still refusing to look me in the eyes.
"I love you, Usako. You mean everything to me and I need you to look at me. I'm not lying to you, I swear!"
She looked at me then, furious. "Not lying? I saw you, in that bed, with that damn woman! You said you were done with her."
My eyes blurred with tears, but I didn't wipe them away. I wanted Usako to see how much pain she was causing me, although I knew it would be nowhere near her own. "I had to, Usako. She threatened to kill you if I didn't. you know I couldn't let anything happen to you. I'd die without you."
She hissed, "You dying without me now, anyway. Congratulations."
I felt hallow inside, like my intestines were ripped out of my body. "Please, give me another chance. We can start over again. You can hit me with another test paper, or even your fist. Just please-"
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
"It's not worth it!" She screamed at me, bending down to my level, where I was on my knees. I knew the arcade was the worst palce to be having this conversation, but it was the only place she would stand being in the same room as me.
I stared back at her, pleading. "You're worth anything."
Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice
I could see her falter, and so I pressed on. "You know I'd kill myself if it meant saving you. I've never loved anyone more than I love you. I could never love Beryl more than you."
When she stepped back, I slowly got up off my knees and got closer. "I've seen the people Beryl knows. She could easily have one of them kill you. I couldn't let that happen."
She choked on a sob. "You didn't have to sleep with her."
"Those was her terms. I didn't want it, Usako. I didn't feel anything when I was with her. All I thought of was you, knowing you were safe."
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
"There's nothing more I want than your safety and your happiness. I could live without your love if it meant that." I grasped her arms gently and she instinctively leaned in. I cradled her to my chest, burying my face into the golden locks I loved to run my fingers through. To my relief, she didn't pull away.
We stayed like that for a minute before I said, "Beryl's gone. She left Japan altogether." Usagi looked at me, questioning. "She left when she realized it wasn't her name I was screaming, but yours."
My bunny's face blushed redder than I've ever seen, and that was saying something. I've had plenty of times to make her blush. I pressed my forehead against hers and whispered, "I love you, Usako. Only you."
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
I felt like half my life passed as she stared me with those blue eyes. They were watering, I realized. My world brightened like a light being turned on after spending a day in the darkness when she smiled—not a large smile, but it was big enough for me- and hugged me tightly. "Oh, Mamo-chan. I'm sorry-"
I placed a finger against her lips, silencing her. "It's fine, Usako. It's completely understandable the way you acted."
I was stunned when she wrapped her arms around my neck. I didn't expect her to be so forgiving this fast. But this was my Usako; she was like that.
Against my lips she whispered, "I love you too."
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - yeah I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do, oh
I do it for you
