Usagi had made up her mind. She had to leave. Memories of
Tokyo were too painful. Quickly, she went to the bank and withdrew
and cancelled her account. Twenty million yen. That should be enough.
(AN: I think it's obvious that I have *no* clue about yen, so if
anyone wants to give me some clues about this, then please please please
email me.) Next, she went to the travel agency and bought the next
plane ticket to Toronto, Canada. With that in hand, she got home. To
her surprise, the senshi were *still* there!
"What are you still doing here?" Surprise and shock was
evident in her voice.
"Waiting to talk to you," replied Haruka.
"Ruka-chan, please."
"No, listen. You've ranted long enough. It's our turn."
The sheer confidence in her voice put Usagi in shock. In her
mind though, Haruka was not so sure. 'Kami-sama, I hope
this plan works. If it doesn't, I swear, I will kill Luna for
making me hurt the princess this way.' "We've listened to you
whine about your *precious* *Mamo-chan* for too long."
At this point, Usagi saw red. "Oh really? And
what have you figured out from actually listening to me?"
"You, Tsukino Usagi, have *got* to get over him. I mean,
you can't mope around day in, day out just because for once in
your life, some guy didn't fall in love with you."
"SOME GUY?!?!? DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT?? HE IS MY DESTINED LOVE!!! AND ONE DAY, HE JUST UP AND
*DECIDES* TO NOT LOVE ME ANYMORE??? DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE HOW
PAINFUL THAT IS????"
"Lower the decibels, Odango Atama."
"Oh, fantastic. And what do *you* have to say, Rei?"
"Anything and everything." Rei had a confident, smug
look about her face. But inside, was he complete opposite.
'Oh, Usa-chan, forgive me.'
"We don't want you as our leader anymore."
Usagi just stared at her in complete shock.
'Oh, Princess, please forgive us,' thought Luna.
'This is for your own good. Perhaps *this* will push you
to mature. Then, you can up show Mamoru-san.'
"What?" Usagi whispered, disbelievingly.
"You heard us, *princess*," Rei strained the word
'princess', "At first, you weren't physically capable.
But we kept you because you were emotionally strong, as
much as your actions stated otherwise. But now, you're
neither physically or emotionally capable. We denounce
you as our leader."
"Why don't you say it, Rei? Just say it. Denounce
me as your leader AND PRINCESS, right?? I know you meant
to say it, even if you didn't. You might as well!" The
rest of the senshi just stood, glaring coldly, or *trying* to
glare coldly, at their former leader. "Well, you know what?
Screw you. Screw all of you. The NAIVE, IDIOTIC Usagi that
you knew is no more. You want me gone? You got it, sister."
Usagi didn't even realize half the words she was
saying. All the stress, anger, and depression from the
past two months were finally released. "Oh yeah, of
*course* I'm physically incapable!! How could I be
physically capable?? A person doesn't need to be physically
capable to handle huge amounts of energy flowing through
their body, noo, not at all!" Sarcasm laced her words.
"You wanna know what I go through?? The power of just
*one* of my attacks is more powerful than all your attacks
combined!! Don't believe me? It's true. And each one
of your attacks? You wanna know where *that* comes
from? They come from the ginzuishou. Yes, the one
that's constantly attached to my body. You want an
example?" Usagi lifted up her shirt. She was wearing a
sports bra, so nothing was exposed (AN: Get your mind out
of the gutter, people!), but there were scorches and burn
marks all over her chest where the crystal usually was.
Scars, burns, and raw skin were evident. Each senshi gasped
in horror.
"Each time any one of you call from your power,
*I* get the brunt of the attack. But do you see *me*
complaining? No, of course not. I'm too physically incapable!!
And no, don't even *start* with me, Rei. Don't start with
how your attacks hurt you too."
How Usagi knew Rei was about to talk about that,
she didn't know, but at that moment, she didn't care. At
this time, Mamoru had felt Usagi's emotional pain through
their link and had joined them, silently listening through
the window. When he saw the scars on Usagi's chest, he gasped,
as if feeling the physical pain himself from seeing results
from Usagi's pain. What the senshi had done to his Usako,
he didn't know. But once he got his hands on them-then the
truth registered in his brain. He had no right to hurt
them for hurting Usagi. He had done the exact same thing no
less than two months ago. The others just stared at her as
she released the harsh truth on them. Kami-sama, they felt
guilty!
"Don't even *start*. Don't lie to me. I know
what *joy* it gives you to use your attack, to be near
your element, to use it. Fire soothes *your* soul, Rei,
but each time you're comforted by it, each time you go and
read your Sacred Fire, *I* am in PAIN! You know how much
it hurts to burn your finger? Think about how much it would
hurt to have your soul burnt!
"Electricity completely comforts you, Makoto, and I
know it. Why do you think I'm always *so* afraid of
thunderstorms?? No, it's not because I'm a complete ditz
who's immature enough to be afraid of a little sound, it's
because *I* get electrocuted!! I *can* literally feel the
electricity coursing through me!
"Ami, when *you* use your power, each and every
single time, it feels as if ice stabs at my whole body!
While *I* go through this torture, you're soothed by the
calmness of the waters!
"Ah, and the senshi of love. While you feel the
giddiness of love, all the pleasures, the romance, wanna know
what *I* feel?? *I* get to feel utter and complete jealousy,
heartache, longing, and heartbreak!! Each and every single
time a heartbreaks, anywhere in the world, *I* get to feel it,
yippee! I'll be in the middle of a class, and suddenly, I
would feel this wave of depression and heartbreak flow
through my body. Just because some stranger out there
broke up with someone. No, that can't mean that I'm
emotionally strong, not at all! Let's see how YOU would deal
with both your own *and* the rest of the world's problems
of the heart?
"Oh, and don't even get me *started* on the senshi of
DEATH. I get to feel each and every single person who dies
feels! YAY! And yes, that includes each youma we kill and no,
*that* can't mean I'm physically capable!
"Each time Michiru uses *her* powers? I *drown*. Not
physically, of course. But my mind *does* get to feel the
wonderful sensation. I can't breathe, Michiru, every time you
use your powers,I CANNOT BREATHE! I feel water going through
my lungs, clogging my mind and throat! Complete opposite of
what *you* feel, wouldn't you say?
"When Haruka uses *her* powers? I get to feel the
harshness of tornadoes and hurricanes. Wanna know what it
feels like? It's as if my body is about to rip apart in
multiple pieces, and it would feel *wonderful* if it did, but
NO, the attack's not directed at me, so I get to get caught
in the wind, not being able to get free. Fun, eh?
"Oh, and we can't forget the senshi of TIME. Wanna
know what I feel? I feel complete *void*. Each time you use
dead scream? I feel that, and a complete void. A void.
Nothing registers. Death overwhelms my senses, and yet, I
CANNOT die!
"No, none of this means anything. Nope, not physically
*or* mentally *or* emotionally capable, eh?"
No one said anything. Tears stung each and every
senshi's eyes, including Usagi's. Hell, tears were streaming
down her face.
"Get out. All of you, get out of my house." Slowly,
the sailor senshi shuffled out of Tsukino Usagi's house. They
didn't know it, but from that moment on, the Tsukino Usagi they
knew was dead.
