Contagious Happiness 5
Bright rays of sunlight pierced a corner of her sleeping mind. One eye opened and the other eye followed as she saw that Mamoru's awake and deep in thought next to her. Joy bubbled up inside her as she saw for herself that he's not on the verge of death anymore. His bandages were still there, but his needles were gone. *Thank the moon that he's alive! Does he know about his leg?……* she wondered nervously.
Watching his face, she placed her hand in his and gently squeezed it comfortingly. He turned towards her quickly and nearly melted under her loving gaze. *Okay, Mamoru! Time to do The Act!* he told himself as his heart throbbed with pain.
"What are you doing here?" he began in a cool, disinterested tone.
Her heart dropped to the floor in despair. *So he knows about his leg…..he hates me!" she thought forlornly as her eyes reflected her helpless, broken soul.
Mamoru flinched at the wounded look in his love's eyes. *I must do this!* he reasoned with himself. Blindly, he trudged on, "Don't you think you've done enough? It's all your fault damnit! It's you! You're the reason why I lost my leg. You're the reason why I'll never be normal again. Get out! Get the hell out! I never want to see you again!" he nearly roared at the crying girl.
Through quivering lips, she replied in a small voice, "You're right. Everything was my fault. Everything. I..I'll leave now…. Take care of yourself, Mamo-chan. I..I love you." Without looking back, she ran out of his room in tears.
*I did it. I drove her away. I drove away my only love, my only joy.* Sinking down into the covers, he tried to block out the image of her looking so hurt, so vulnerable, so heartbreakingly beautiful as she declared her love to him. *Oh god….how I must have hurt her!" Breathing pained him as he replayed the conversation in his mind. Then he recalled the night before when Usako cried for him. *She actually thought that everything was her fault……. oh my little Usako!*
Leaning back, he allowed the tears to flow from his dead, blue eyes.
Usagi was angry and hurt. *How dare he?!!? Like I wanted him to lose his leg! Running through the streets of Jubann, she forgot to bump into people. * I'm going to be myself again! I don't care anymore. It's all over now. Stupid timeline is ruined now anyway.*
She arrived at the docks and slid to the floor crying. Then riding on a wave of anger, she lifted the Moon staff over her head and rashly began the incantation, "Tear my soul from Mamoru's now. Should one day I feel a greater pain, take me back to the moon. If I cannot return, may I never awaken again! So I wish it, so will it be!" A bright light exploded from the Silver Crystal bathing her entire self in its' pure light.
In the hospital room, Mamoru felt a jolt of shock and pain as he felt a part of his soul tear away. "Usako…" he whispered as he clutched at his heart. As suddenly as it came, it was gone, but he knew what the jolt had meant….Usako separated her soul from his. He didn't know how he knew, he just did. His pain felt unbearable. "Oh love…you must hate me now."
