Haruka shivered in the cold air of the jail. 'Michiru..... Michiru is
dead,' she thought to herself, 'Why did I do it?'

It was dark in the icy cell, but a thin stream of moonlight cast
itself into the hallway. Haruka looked up to see a shadowy
figure standing in the corridor. She snapped to attention and
jumped to her feet. "Kaze! What are you doing here?!?"

He smiled evilly at her, "I've come to get you out."

"I don't need your charity!" She screamed to him, oblivious of
her cellmates trying to sleep.

Kaze shook his head at her, "What makes you think that it's
charity? I have other motives. You know that."

Haruka squinted at him, "What motives?"

"Let's just say... tomorrow is the last time you'll ever see the
rabbit."

She gasped, "You're going to kill Usagi!"

"That's riiiight, and I need you for it. Only you could kill your
own family. I need your help"

"I didn't kill them Kaze, I didn't mean to"

"I believe you Haruka." He held up his hand to the bars of the
cell. In an instant, they were gone. "Come Haruka, I'll prove
to everyone you didn't do it."

Haruka stepped tentitively out of the cell and Kaze took his
hand down. The bars reappeared as he whirled around and
lead Haruka out of the jail.

Mamoru was awoken from her peaceful slumber by the sound of
a doorknob turning. He shook Usagi's sleeping form

"Usa-ko? Did you hear something just now?"

"No, Mamo-chan, I didn't."

"Okay, I guess it was just my imagination. Go back to sleep."

"Okay....." And in a moment she was asleep.

Unable to go back to sleep, Mamoru rose and walked to the
kitchen. He turned the corner and met an unimaginable sight.
"Haruka?"

Haruka was drenched from the pouring rain outside and was
surrounded by a huge mud puddle. "Kaze...... He's going to........"

"Going to what?"

A scream rang through the air from the bedroom before Haruka
had a chance to finish.

Mamoru ran to the bedroom.

Blood was splattered all over the bed and in the center of it, lay
an almost-peaceful Usagi. Mamoru gasped and he sank to his
knees in shock.

Kaze smiled to himself from his hiding place in the shadows as
Mamoru collapsed on the bed beside his beloved and clutched
her limp body to his chest. Haruka stood dumbfounded in the
doorway, watching both of them. She backed up slowly,
shaking her head all the while. Usagi was dead. Kaze killed her
just like he killed Michiru. Michiru... Michiru and Usagi. Both.......
Dead. Dead at the hands of Kaze. She opened the door and
bolted out of Mamoru's apartment into the hall, stumbling, she
ran to the elevator.

She stood in the elevator for what seemed like an eternity, until
it finally stopped on ground level and she ran out. She collapsed
through the front doors of the condo and ran into the middle of
the street. She tripped over a rock and lay in the road, bathed
in the light of headlights.

Headlights came closer and closer......

~~~*~~~*&*~~~*~~~

How was that for rude? I picked the absolute best place to leave
off didn't I? You'll now have to pace back and forth in front of your
computer until I write the next chapter. HA HA HA!
