I owe you one for this one.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi awoke to a noise that could barely be heard,
yet she heard it. She was not fast enough though,
for when she woke up, the noise maker was gone, but
they had left behind a gift.

She went to go pick it up and was startled to see a
rose on the cover. Immediately thinking of her Mamoru,
she opened it up and flipped through it. "It is a journal"
she realized out loud. Another observation was that there
was but a few pages filled in.

Usagi studied the writing without reading it. Just looking
at the complexity that was his hand writing made her shiver
with warmth. She felt guilty about reading the journal...but
if he had left it for her, she just had to read it.

So, Usagi settled in. There were several pages and this
would take her a while.

*~Birthday countdown...One more day. Hello. Um, I don't know
exactly what to write here, seeing as how I have never had
a Journal before, but Chibi-usa insisted that I write in here
so I will. I might as well tell you about the dreams that
have been destroying my life and my heart, as well as
the heart of the only woman I could ever love...Usako. Just
hearing her name sends shivers down my spine. I would
never willingly hurt her for all the money in the world...but
it is her life [on] the line. The man in the dream insists that
life will end for her if we pursue this relationship. I would
rather be without her than have to live without her, if that
makes sense. I have to see Usako every day and inside it is
killing me.A crack, if you will, in my heart for every single
time that she has cried. Just once more and my heart will shatter.
I promise you that.~*

Usagi had to stop there. Was he serious? Because if he was, he
is shattered because of what had happened earlier that morning.
She had cried, and it had probably broken his heart. She read on.

*~If there was a way to be with her again without jeopardizing her
life that would be great. You know, writing in this thing makes
me feel better. I have kept this bottled up in me for so long that I
could hardly stand it. I might write more later...depending~*

Usagi, disappointed that there wasn't more, was overwhelmed with
feelings of love, hurt, anger, fear, and joy all at once.
She grabbed her coat and the journal and went over to Mamoru's place.

* * * * *

Mamoru, still depressed over the incident of this morning almost
did not answer the door when the banging started. Something in
him told him to answer it though. Much to his dismay, Usagi was
there, eyes fresh with tears...and his journal in her hands.

At that moment, Mamoru almost fainted. 'Did that mean she read it?'
"Listen Usagi, I can explain..."

"But before he could finish, Usagi [dropped] the book and threw her
arms around Mamrou, kissing him with all the passion she had held inside.

* * * * *

Outside on the balcony a lone figure watched the romantic scene unfold.
"Happy Birthday Daddy."
