Chapter 6
Rei sat by the great fire, meditating to calm her stress. Her best friend almost got run over by a car. Mamoru's in the hospital with only one working leg because he saved her last minute. *Things are going well!* she thought sarcastically.
Usagi hasn't been herself since she came back from the hospital. She always looks broken-hearted and sad, like she had lost her very reason for life. When she thinks that no one's looking, she would let the tears run down her cheeks. Not the loud, famous Usagi wails. They were quiet, pain-filled sobs. Sobs that can break even the coldest hearts.
Shockingly, she doesn't klutz out anymore! Neither has she fail in school or pigged out since the accident. *Something must have happened between Usagi and Mamoru! They're in love. That's the only explanation for what is happening.* Then she stopped for a moment and mentally added, *I can't believe that we all thought they hated each other!*
Then she realized that her goal in meditating now is to forget about all the problems for now. *Just can't escape! Problems haunt you anywhere.* she sighed in annoyance. Before she could banish the thoughts from her mind, a vision came over her. This time, the silver thread and the gold thread were separating. Then, the silver thread dulled to a light gray color and the gold thread followed…
Alarmed and frazzled more than ever, she called an emergency senshi meeting.
When all four girls and two cats arrived…
Rei shifted uncomfortably by the great fire as it roared to life. After telling everyone what she had seen, she was told, I mean, ORDERED by Usagi to consult the great fire for advice. This new personality of Usagi is driving everyone nuts. All of them miss the klutzy, cheerful girl who became their first true friend.
Carelessly, Rei allowed her mind to wander. As she closed her eyes and went deeper and deeper into the trance, an image flickered into her mind. It was a handsome man with gold-blond hair and twinkling blue-gray eyes. His body's lean and muscular. He radiated masculinity and a confident arrogance. Then he began to glow a fierce red as his aura became awfully clear to Rei.
Shock and fear made her lose her concentration. She surfaced suddenly from the trance. She felt herself sweating profusely. Confused by the amount of emotions she felt for this man, she was speechless as the other senshi bombarded her with questions.
"Rei, are you okay?" asked Ami.
"Yeah, Rei, are you okay? What did you see?" asked Lita worriedly. *I've never seen her this shaken before!*
"Guys, give her time. Let her relax and speak," said Usagi as she looked with curiosity and worry upon her best friend.
Grateful for the excuse, she escaped saying, "I smell like a pig right now. Let me take a bath and think about how I can tell you what I saw and felt." With that, she rushed off.
Only Mina, who had been silent during the entire exchange, did not worry. She felt a shock of energy, a very familiar type of energy, when Rei saw the man. *Love energy! She saw her soulmate!*
Usagi, too had recognized Rei's emotions. *Of course I recognize it, been there, done that! And failed at it too…* As she bitterly thought back to Mamoru, her "princess face" dropped just a bit.
While in the hospital…
Mamoru was sulking. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't eat. He couldn't think. Whenever he closed his eyes, Usako's cheerful face came to mind, but then it would suddenly be replaced by the devastated, tearstained face that was his last memory of her. Dinner had been spaghetti and meatballs. Needless to say, he took one look at it and lost his appetite. *Usako…love…my Odango Atama…*
*God it hurts! Like a cancer gnawing away at your insides. But I deserve it. You deserve it, Mamoru!* as he mentally yelled at himself.
Depressed, he thought brokenly, *Usako, I'm so sorry…* as he stared at the chair that his love had last sat on.
*Everything's too late now. She broke her soul from mine. She hates me, now. The bond is gone, but my heart and my soul are still with her …even if she'll never know it…even if she despises me. She'll never know that I love her and that I always will…That is the way it has to be.*
Despair and anger overwhelmed him. *Stupid driver! Stupid leg!*
Then his thoughts turned to regret. *Maybe I shouldn't have… If only…*
Then the air in the room suddenly ripped. A big rent appeared. It was black and deep. A gravitational force began to suck things, including Mamoru into the portal. Gripping the bed with both hands, he managed to stay on the bed. *Help!!* he mentally screams.
In Usagi's house
A loud, mental *Help!!* roared through Usagi' s head. *Mamoru!!* recognized Usagi as she transformed. After an explosion of lights, Sailor Moon took the place of Usagi. Worried and scared more than she had ever been, she used the forbidden teleportation…
Outside of his room…
Usagi was teleported to the outside of Mamoru's room. Rushing in, Usagi suddenly came into the middle of a gravitational field.
"Usako! No! Run!" Mamoru yelled. He felt his heart stop as Usagi was sucked into the black portal. Letting go of the bed, he hurriedly followed Usagi. *If she dies, let me die with her!* was his only thought as he came through the portal and into the scary unknown.
I'll explain the forbidden teleportation, where Pluto and Queen Serenity are, Rei's soulmate, and the portal in future chapters! For now, tuck it in the back of your mind. J
