Here we go... sub story 4 from main title one..
confused yet? ^^
Is Mamoru dead? Is Usagi going off the deep end?
Will Luna stop opening her mouth at the wrong
time? hehe.. only the next chapters will tell *_*
geesh.. I sound like an advertisment ^^;
HUGE, HUGE thanks to everyone who has emailed
me!!!!!!!!! *****HUGS***** I luv you guys!
A million and one thanks to my editor, Meara. Without
her wisdom I would be +_+ hehe *HUGS* girl ^^
Usual disclaimers; I do not own Sailor Moon, but
if I did - I'd send everyone a giant Mamo-chan
doll! ^_~
Ja minna! See you at the bottom of the
page! ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't remember when it started. She
would disappear for a while, and we thought
nothing of it. I figured she just wanted to
be alone. I never stopped to think about what
it could mean...

I wish I could have prevented half of
what happened. If I had stayed with her more,
refused to leave when she demanded I did. Or if
there was some way I could set her up with
someone that could love her like Mamoru did...
maybe...

But "maybes" and "what if's" don't change
reality. She only wants Mamoru.

Why is that the one thing I can't give her?
-Minako.

Hi Ittsui-chan!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Usagi!" Rei called, opening the door to her
bedroom. Her first reaction was to gasp... and
that's what she did. "Usagi! Your hair!!"

The room was covered in the Princess' long
*silver* hair.

"What happened?"

"I don't know..." Usagi cried. "I woke up
this morning and it was like this..."

Luna looked up from where she was reading
some book. "Her hair was silver in the Silver
Millennium... I believe it's turning back that
way now."

"Does that mean it's almost time?" Rei
asked, helping Usagi pull her hair back up into
her buns.

"Almost time fo-- USAGI!"

"Shhh! Minako-chan, close the door so
my mom doesn't see," Usagi hissed.

Minako done as she was told and went
over to the bed in slow strides. "What
happened to *you*?!"

"She woke up this morning like that," Luna
informed. "Usagi-chan, what did you do last night?
Anything different?"

Usagi's eyes turned glassy. "I.. I went for
a walk and came home."

Rei could see the lie in her eyes, but
decided for once not to press it. "Any idea what
could have caused this?"

The Princess shook her head no.

"Well, what are we going to do?" Rei
blurted.

Usagi and Minako looked at each other.
"Call Ami," they announced in unison. Rei
chuckled lightly, thankful for the calmness
in the room; it was a definite change from
listening to Usagi cry for Mamoru.

~*~ Sometime Later ~*~

After analyzing Usagi's hair from every
possible angle, Ami came to one conclusion.
"Use the Luna Pen to turn it back until we
figure out why it turned to begin with."

"Genius," Minako mumbled. "Pure genius."

Doing as she was told, Usagi lifted the
pen in the air. After a few minutes, and a
light show later; Usagi stood in the middle
of the room....

... with silver hair.

"Eeek! What now?!" Minako almost yelled,
a handful of Usagi's hair in her hand.

"Now you find a way to explain to me
what the hell just happened!"

All five girls reluctantly looked towards
the door and smiled sheepishly at Tsukino Ikuko.

"Umm... well, you see.. it's like this
Mama..." Usagi stuttered along, nervously
picking at her nails.

"What did you do? Why is your hair *silver*?
What was that pen?" Ikuko demanded in one breath.

Usagi flopped down on her bed and raised her
knees to her chest. "I'm Sailor Moon," she mumbled.
All of the girls gasped, they sort of expected her
to deny it, make up some story.. not fess up without
much urging.

Ikuko fainted dead away.

Shaking her head, Usagi walked over to
where her mother was laying on the floor. "Now
to convince her she never saw anything."

Rei smiled wickedly, that was still her
Usagi somewhere under there. "I heard that young
lady," the woman on the floor mumbled.

"Then again, maybe not," Makoto remarked,
sighing heavily. "I'll call the others."

~*~ Hour later? that sound good? ~*~

"... and I'm Sailor Saturn," the last Senshi
said and sat down.

Ikuko and Kenji looked around the room at
all of the people in their house. The sailor
Senshi?! Their daughter and her friends were
*THE* sailor Senshi?!?!

"But... where's Tuxedo Kamen?" Ikuko inquired.

Rei buried her hands in her face. 'Here it come--'
the thought didn't finish itself before Usagi busted
out crying.

Ikuko's eyes widened... no! It couldn't be!

Makoto and Michiru helped Usagi back to her room,
leaving the rest of them to explain Tuxedo Kamen, Chiba
Mamoru and the Moon Kingdom to Usagi's parents.

"What happened? You don't mean to tell me.." Ikuko
pleaded with each of the girls in the room. None of
them could tell her anything but what she didn't want to
hear.

"Mamoru is... was Tuxedo Kamen," Luna said quietly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THAT CAT TALKED!!!"

Six groans were heard through out the room. Luna
looked up at the Senshi. "Gomen nasai... I thought we had
covered that already."

~*~ Cambridge, MA - U.S.A. ~*~

Motoki walked through the gates, holding tightly to
Reika's hand. Someone had to come pick up Mamoru's stuff from
the U.S. and Usagi was in no shape to do it. So since
his fiancée wasn't able, and he had no family; that left
Motoki.

Everything was so loud, and people were everywhere.
After a the longest walk Motoki could remember, they made
their way through Logan airport and found their bags.
Then they started on the task of hailing a cab.

It was dark out, and the streetlights came and
went, showing the road they were headed on. Reika had
long ago fell asleep and Motoki was straining to keep
his eyes open.

"Sir?" the driver asked, turning slightly in his
seat.

Motoki handed him some money and woke Reika up.
"We're here sweetie, wake up."

Slowly her brown eyes opened and she looked up
at him. "Motoki?"

"Hai, come on." Slowly they left the cab and
looked up at the building.

"I.. I don't want to do this tonight," Reika said
quietly.

Not saying a word, they headed towards a motel
instead of the subway that would take them to Harvard
Square.

~*~ Back in Tokyo - That Night ~*~

Usagi slipped out of her window, and using the
skills she bore as Sailor Moon, gracefully jumped from
the balcony. Keeping to the shadows, she slipped down
the street - towards Azubu Apartments.
