***********************************************************
Her heart raced with anxiousness. How would it turn out? Would Usagi find what she wanted, or will the both of them and their relationship end at that?
Usagi reached the apartment, breathless. She took a few deep breathes to calm herself heart, and her racing mind.
Luckily, Mamoru NEVER locks the balcony window. It was very easy for her to go in.
She slowly made her way into Mamoru's dark apartment. To Usagi's surprise, it was very clean and neat. Very un-manly. Men tend to have women clean after them, but Mamoru wasn't one of them.
The bedroom was eerie, with the moonlight the only source of light in the dark room. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. Sailor Moon scanned the room carefully, spotting Mamoru asleep on the bed. She smiled as she untransformed. Where Sailor Moon stood now stood Usagi.
She walked slowly to the bed where Mamoru lay, sleeping peacefully. His light breathing was heard. Usagi smiled as she gently brushed some of his dark strands of hair from his eyes.
Mamoru stirred slightly from the light touch, and murmured something softly.
Usagi had to bend down to hear him. "Usako..." He whispered.
Usagi's eyes softened as he said her name. "How cute. He dreams of me in his sleep."
Her thoughts drifted off as she gently took out the Silver Crystal. Usagi had to be careful. If Mamoru were to wake up, then all will be ruined. Mamoru would not trust her anymore, let alone speak to her. Their relationship would be ruined. Usagi didn't want that, but she didn't want to be left in the dark, pondering about the situation, also. Such a hard decision, but nonetheless, Usagi had made up her mind.
"Moon Crystal Power! Help me go into Mamo-chan's mind, and his thoughts..." Usagi used the lowest voice she could utter, praying that Mamoru won't wake up. He didn't.
The crystal's pink light gave off a beam, and directed itself for Mamoru's head. It went in with dead accuracy. The beam of light was connected with Usagi's head, therefore allowing her to see his thoughts.
What she saw was amazing, heartwarming. It brought Usagi more closer to Mamoru, if that was possible since she was totally in love with him.
What she saw was love. Pure love. A love so strong, so vibrant, so full of life. She saw Mamoru, the happiness he felt every time she was with him. How he loved her to the bone, and deeper. How, even when he didn't know she was the moon princess, he had fallen in love with HER.
She saw it all. All the emotions that ran through his mind when he first saw her. When they first met. All the times he wanted to say I love you, but teased her instead...
The emotions made Usagi breathless, as tears of happiness slowly made her way down her face.
The beam was still there, even though Usagi didn't use it anymore. She didn't need it. She had found what she was looking for. She found his deep abiding love for her.
But, as they say, all good things come to a end. Some have good endings, but others bad. This was definitely bad...
Mamoru suddenly turned, breaking the beam.
Usagi gasped, covering her mouth in fright as she saw Mamoru wake up. She was just about to hide when he suddenly turned, and she stopped cold in her tracks.
Mamoru looked at her with the words hurt, for he had known what she was doing. He saw the crystal, and felt it seeping into his mind. That was what woke him up from his slumber.
Betrayal. He thought Usagi trusted him. What he couldn't believe, or didn't want to believe was that she would go into his private thoughts instead of approaching him and asking.
Love. Even though he was angry, he couldn't help but feel happy that she was here. She looked beautiful. The girl he loved.
So many words ran through his mind. So many. Mamoru found his voice, and spoke...
"Usako, what may I ask, are you doing here, in the middle of the night, in my apartment, using your crystal to look into my personal thoughts?" His tone was very angry, even though he didn't wan it to be. He looked at Usagi. She looked so helpless, standing there, feeling as though the world was against her.
Usagi was very ashamed, but she fought for her relationship. "Mamo-chan, please...understand."
She pleaded, begged. Tears ran freely down her face, this time, full of sadness.
"I love you..." She trailed off, helplessly.
"You, love me? If you did, you wouldn't do what you just did. You don't trust me with my feelings for you, do you?" Mamoru coldly stated. But it was in some way, true. Not about the not loving part, but the not trusting part.
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi couldn't defend herself now. She was wrong. Wasn't she?
"Please, Usagi, it's late. Go home. I'll see you to the door." Mamoru looked at Usagi. She noticed his cold eyes, emotionless.
"Mamo-chan, are you telling me to leave?" Usagi didn't believe her ears. "Usagi?" She thought.
"Think what you want to." Mamoru walked to the door, and opened it for her to leave.
Usagi gasped, more tears flowed as she sobbed heartbrokenly. "Mamo-chan, that's okay. I'll see myself out. I know you hate me, so I'll make sure you won't see annoying me ever again."
Mamoru watched as she slowly walked out the door, sadly. He had broken her heart, totally. "Usako, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." He whispered as a tear slowly fell from his cheek. Mamoru hadn't cried for a long time, but he was crying now.
She walked out the door, and out Mamoru's heart...for now...they have broken up. For now...
Usagi, the poor heartbroken girl. Her only love had rejected her. What could be worse? Especially if she blamed it on herself. "Mamo-chan..." She whispered brokenly. Her salty tears slid down her pale cheeks as she made her way dejectedly down the empty streets at two in the morning.
"Usako, Gomen nasai. I feel like the worst person alive." Mamoru looked at the moon from his window. All he saw was his Usako. How beautiful his moon princess was. Her beauty surpassed any woman's in Mamoru's eyes.
Usagi made her way to her house, as a cold wind blew at her. She shivered, and sighed, looking at the moon. "Mother, I know you wanted me to be happy here on Earth, but I'm not happy without Mamo-chan. I don't want to live...what do I do, Mother?" Usagi referred to her other mother, her majesty Queen Serenity of the white moon. Her mother in the Silver Millennium.
"Mother, I'm coming to join you..." Usagi ran, her destination: nowhere. Just to get away from it all. Usagi just ran in the still darkness of night. A car passed by, but she didn't notice. All she did was run...
Mamoru suddenly felt a jolt of pain cover his body. He doubled over, clutching his head in pain.
"What was that?" He asked himself, confused. "It almost felt like...oh no! Usako!" Without a second thought, he ran out the door, not caring if it was left open.
Usagi looked where her legs had taken her. The bridge overlooking Tokyo Bay. The waves gently slapping the sandy shore. Usagi had remembered how much fun it was to come here with Mamoru. Now she was going to die here...Usagi had made up her mind. She would rather die then to live without her Mamo-chan's love.
She leaned again the railing, her mind telling her she was crazy, as her heart said this was the right thing to do. She climbed the railing, and prepared to jump...this was it.
Mamoru ran. The empty streets were dark, except for an occasional passing car, and the street lights. But he didn't notice that, he didn't notice anything that surrounded him. All he was concentrated on was to save Usako. Running as fast as he could wasn't usually what he did at two in the morning, but anything to save Usako.
"Usako, please don't let it be too late."
Usagi felt the fear and panic arise and cover her body like a think blanket of coldness. She felt so cold. So cold. She climbed to the very top railing, and looked down. She prepared to jump...
Just then, two strong arms grabbed her, and prevented her from falling, and drowning. Usagi had no doubt it was Mamoru. He pulled her up, and wrapped his arms around the shivering girl, afraid that if he would let go of her, she would jump...
Usagi didn't dare to look into his eyes. Her heartbeat quickened as she felt him turn her around. She looked down, afraid to see cold, uncaring eyes that probably thought she was crazy, insane to try to be jumping off a bridge in the middle of the night. "Let me go." Usagi demanded, her voice a whisper. Barely hearable.
Even with her low voice, Mamoru heard her clearly, though not obeying. He couldn't let her go...let her die in front of his very eyes. That was something Mamoru had experienced when he was little, and he was sure he never wanted to experience it again.
"No, Usako, I'm not letting you go. I can't." Mamoru waited for her reply, but there was none.
After a few agonizing minutes, Usagi spoke up.
"Usako? I thought you wouldn't call me that again. Why?" Usagi looked up at Mamoru, seeing his pain showing clearly in his eyes, even in the dimly lit bridge.
Mamoru realized his mistake. By calling her Usako meant that he loved and wanted her back again. "You do, silly." His mind said. "Well, I know I do, but I don't want to be hurt. I need to know she wouldn't do that again. Mamoru shot back. It must've looked silly, fighting with yourself, but that was what Mamoru was doing. "She wouldn't need to if you just told her how you felt, instead of leaving her guessing." That one made Mamoru thinking. He suddenly realized that his mind was right. If he had told Usagi earlier, she wouldn't have doubts about his love for her.
Usagi stared at Mamoru, clearly struggling with his emotions. "He just made a mistake, and called me Usako on accident, that's all. He doesn't love me..." Tears welled up in her eyes. She just couldn't take it anymore. It just hurt too much. Then she realized that Mamoru wasn't even
paying attention to her at all. He was more busy with his own agenda.
Usagi took off running, heading for death.
It took Mamoru a few seconds to figure out that Usagi had run away, again. A few seconds might seem like a short period of time, but it was all it needed for Usagi to die...
She quickly climbed that railing, and this time, jumped off a second before Mamoru could reach her. She wind blew at her fiercely as she headed for the icy waters...for the death that wasn't supposed to happen until who knows how long.
Her body made a soft splash as she was immediately plunged into the freezing waters. It was a big disadvantage for her since she wasn't that good a swimmer. She couldn't breathe, the churning waters taking away the precious air to her lungs. Usagi wouldn't last very long now...
