Disclaimer: As much as I'd love to lie to
you and tell you that I created Sailormoon
and everyone else associated to it, I can't.
My mommy always told me not to lie,
soooooooo...yeah. Sailormoon isn't mine.
Unbeknownst to the occupants of the room, Mamoru, as
convincing an actor as he was, did not fool his father.
Chiba had seen that expression on his son's face all too
many times on the face of his late adviser. Apparently, he
loved this...girl. What a choice, the Leader's favourite.
Of course, he couldn't just let Mamoru keep the girl.
Consequences were consequences, and his son of all people
should've known. He would let the Amazon's leader deal
with her own responsibilities.
Mamoru could see his father's train of thought. He had t,
and he had to act quickly. In order to get out of this
situation, either he, his father, or Usagi had to die. And
there was no way he was going to let anyone hurt Usako. HE
watched as his father reached for his gun.
Seeing Mamoru's father reach for his gun, Usagi's
telepathic skills instinctively kicked in. She caught hold
of his plan and the second the gun took aim, she twisted
herself out of Jed's viselike hold and double-back kicked
him in the stomach, preventing him from recovering and
shooting at her quickly. Dodging the stray bullets coming
her way, she flung herself towards Mamoru. In the back of
her head, she could hear the trigger click, and the bullet
pushing through the air at its incredible speed. She
smiled wryly. Now she understood why movies always put
this part on slow motion. She wouldn't be able to get them
both out in time, but maybe, just maybe...
Mamoru turned just in time to see a blonde blur flying
towards him. What the hell was she doing? Then, he heard
the gun firing. Eyes wide, he moved in her direction to
stop her. But it was too late.
With a loud, piercing shriek of "MAMO-CHAN!" and a small,
surprised gasp of pain, she looked down to her stomach
where blood was already seeping onto her white shirt at a
dangerously fast pace. Losing consciousness quickly, she
crumpled into Mamoru's arms with an almost imperceptible
"I..love..."
The second Usagi's eyes slid shut, both opposing groups
slipped into a stunned stupor. To the Amazons, obviously,
she was a great loss. Not only was she valuable to their
team, but everyone had depended on her to brighten their
day.
The Chiba men were at shock as well. While individually,
they had each witnessed many horrifying deaths, many times
delivering death with their own hands, never had they
killed someone who wasn't attacking, but protecting. And
not only protecting, but protecting one of their own!
Mayhap they had not met this enigma on their own, but the
instantaneous look of horrific grief in Mamoru's eyes was
one that would haunt them forever. The heartbroken gasps
of the girls around them brought each person back to
reality.
The Leader's shrill voice came abruptly, "SHI NE!!!!!"
Rei set off her machine gun, but her vision was too blurred
by tears to aim properly. This was the case for most of
the other girls.
Minako's voice was raw in her throat as she yelled.
"MAMORU! YOU KONOYARO! YOU DIDN'T DESERVE HER LOVE! THE
LAST THING YOU SAID TO HER WAS 'I WOULDN'T WANT TOD AMAGE A
NEW TOY', AND SHE STILL DIED TO SAVE *YOUR* SORRY ASS!!!"
Rubbing her tears out of her eyes with the back of her
sleeve, she took aim quickly before her eyes misted over
again. Cocking her sniper rifle up on her shoulder, she
pulled the trigger smoothly. From where she was, she had a
perfect shot. The konoyaro was going to pay. (AN:
'Konoyaro' is Japanese for 'asshole')
Mamoru didn't notice any of the commotion around him. He
had dragged Usagi's unconscious body to a safe corner,
trying desperately to revive her. CPR, anything! Her pulse
was faint, but at least it was still there. She wasn't
dead, yet. Now if only these bakas would stop firing at
each other and help get her to a hopsital! His heart
wrenched painfully when he heard Minako's words. Oh kami,
he was sorry...he should've just let his father kill
him...but not Usako.
With such a strong telepathic mind, Usagi couldn't remain
unconscious with all the mental pleading and sorrow going
on around her. As if awakening from a dream, her eyelids
fluttered open. "Mamo-chan...?" She leapt with joy. She
had protected him! He wasn't hurt!
Mamoru gasped when he heard his beloved whisper his name.
"Usako? Oh Kami, Usako, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry...you
shouldn't have had to take that for me, I..." He gave up
on trying to use words and gave her a soft hug instead.
Over Mamoru's shoulder, she could see Minako triumphantly
lowering her sniper. Triumphantly from...what? Usagi's
sharp blue eyes scanned the sky above for anything headed
their direction. Even with her skillful perception, she
almost missed what had been aiming straight for Mamoru's
heart. With what seemed to be the last morsels of her
strength, she switched positions with Mamoru. 'Strange',
she thought, 'This is the second time I'm taking the bullet
for him, and I'm not even scared.' "Aishiteru, Mamo-chan."
Without waiting for a response, Usagi shut her eyes,
waiting for the pain.
Minako realised her mistake all too late. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
USA-CHAN!!!!!!!" At the mention of the fallen girl's name,
all heads turned to the source of the anguished scream, and
then to where her eyes were watching with an unearthly
sense of helplessness. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
AN: oooooooh what happens next, I wonder...tell you the
truth, I don't know either. I can't think of any way to
continue the plot! Nooo...send me suggestions, ne? ^_^
Thankie much! Oooh yeah, and about Mamoru being oblivious
about everything...okay, it doesn't fit his character, but
it makes the story work, so..^^;
