Life isn't everything
So is Death…
Usagi's prologue: "I was deadly afraid. The escape was not smoothly, so I had to run for it. Not that I did not already… The thought of that I could see Mamo-chan almost unbearable, the happiness I felt.
Chapter 13: Silent moments.
The castle was a whole harder to leave now it was daylight. People walk in and out rooms and she still doesn't know how to leave it.
She walked in a part where almost nobody was. It was the best solution, she thought. The chance that she saw someone familiar was smaller. At least she thought so…
"The last attack will be today, right?" an unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes. Tonight at noon." Usagi's stopped dead in her tracks. Damn it, it was Demando!
The voices came in a room before her. The door was not closed entirely.
'I have to find an other way…' she thought, but that was before she saw the exit-sign. 'Damn!'
She walked, trying to make no sound, past the door. Unnoticed. She sighed. Then she ran towards the door that lead to freedom…

"We've been searching a long time. I'm afraid she's over there…" Sailor Mars sighed, pointing at the dark land.
"What do you think will happen as we go to there?" Sailor Jupiter asked. "There is something that is tearing these two places of. Like a barrier."
"I'm already checking!" Sailor Mercury said, typing hard on her computer.
"Mamoru, are you OK?" whispered the Goddess of Love.
"I'm fine," he said, never looking at Sailor Venus. He glared at the dark land. He knew she was there. He knew.

Usagi ran and ran and ran, but bumped in someone in that time.
She looked in a pair of dark-blue eyes, but they didn't belonged to Mamoru. She gasped as she saw it was Saphire. Saphire did also.
She jumped up, not had time for the staring and the confused and surprised looks. She continued to run away, knowing she was going to be caught if she didn't hurry up.
She knew she couldn't get away, but she had to see Mamo-chan. Just hear his voice one last time was enough… But she began to doubt. What if she had wrong and it was just a dream! Her heart would break…
She was almost there when she stood still. She saw them. She-she really saw them. No dream, no hallucination… They were really there!
She felt tears burning in her eyes and she ran towards them.

"You're sure you're all right?"
"I've told you Minako, I'm- USAKO!"
The others immediately responded. There was a girl running to them. A girl with the o so familiar golden odango's…
They wanted to run to her but Usagi had already yelled 'stop' before they could…
She stopped breathless before them, trying to get back the air in her lungs before speaking.
"Don't… you won't…come out… anymore…" she said which wasn't easy.
"It's a barrier... look…"
She stretched out her arm and her hand touched an invisible wall.
"I don't want you to be stuck in here too," she said worriedly.
"Usako…"
She felt her heart skip a beat to here her pet-name. She turned her head to see her soul mate standing. His eyes were so sad… her heart almost broke at seeing him like this. Her death hadn't come without pain…
"Mamo-chan…" she whispered, almost as a reflex. She felt tears coming. She wanted to reach him, but to do that he had to step trough the barrier… and she didn't want that.
Suddenly she heard the others gasp and scream her name as she felt her whole body go numb. But she didn't felt, on the contraire, she was floating in the air.
Her tears of happiness now mangled them with fear as she saw who'd attacked her.
Strands of his snow-white hair fell in front of his face, making the anger in his violate eyes almost bearable. Usagi whimpered as the White Prince came closer with every step he took.
Her friends had not hesitated a moment and had stepped trough the barrier, their attacks already aimed. Demando held his arms crossed and didn't looked impressive.
There was a tensed silence. Nobody moved, nobody made a sound. That was, till……
