'I won't believe it! I cannot believe a word of it! Mamo-chan is still out there!
Mamo-chan is still alive!' Usagi let her thoughts scream through her head as she ran
through downtown Juuban. It was raining again... 'It's funny how the weather just always
seems to go along with my emotions... It's not fair!'
*****
~It's so hard to lose the one you love
To finally have to say goodbye~
*****
-------------
"Rei-chan!" Makoto called as Rei returned.
"Where's Usagi-chan?" Ami asked.
"She's gone?" Minako asked as she held on to Yaten's arm.
"I told her... I told her about Mamoru-san and she just ran." Rei sighed.
"It's starting to rain really hard out there." Makoto paused. "I think we should go after
her."
"Wait a minute," Seiya interrupted. "What about Mamoru?"
Ami gasped. "You know about Mamoru-san?"
Seiya nodded. "Usagi tells me things too."
"Seiya," Rei began. "Mamoru-san died on his plane to America."
"Usagi-chan must be devastated..." Makoto replied.
"I'll go after her." Seiya announced.
"Are you sure you'll be able to find her?" Rei asked. "She ran ahead."
"I'll try my best." Seiya replied.
"Stupid," Yaten began. "You won't be able to find her alone... Don't you know how big
Juuban is?"
"He's right." Taiki responded. "We should all split up and look for her."
"I'll come too." Kakyuu smiled. "I'll do whatever I can for the one that Seiya loves most."
Seiya nodded. "Let's go."
----------
Usagi sighed as she let her pink sweater drown in the rain. It was cold out... Usagi
could admit that, but she didn't want to suffer anymore. 'I don't exist without Mamo-chan.
He has to be alive! He has to be somewhere!' Usagi cried as she tried to wipe away her
impending tears.
*******
~You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry~
******
Usagi couldn't stop crying! She took off her ring, the precious ring that Mamoru had
given her earlier. She still didn't know what the true meaning of it was when she stared
at it. 'Mamo-chan, is this all I have of you? A ring and some gifts? Mamo-chan, don't
leave me... I'm not so strong... I'm not... so... strong.'
Usagi sighed as she began to run again. She didn't know where she was going, but she
wanted to leave.
*******
~Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone~
******
---------
Rei and Ami were checking out Usagi's neighborhood.
Ami began to knock on Usagi's front door. This time Shingo opened the door.
"Hello, Shingo-chan." Ami began. "Do you know if Usagi-chan is home yet?"
"No, she hasn't come home yet. Mom is really worried, it's beggining to rain. Isn't she
with you?"
Ami shook her head. "Thanks for helping."
"Maybe she's on her way home." Rei suggested.
Ami nodded as she followed Rei's lead.
-------
'Mamo-chan, Mamo-chan... Please find me.'
*****
~When the last teardrop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be~
*****
------------
"Where do you think she would be?" Kakyuu asked.
Makoto and Kakyuu were paired up.
"Kakyuu-san, we could try the Crown Game Center... Usagi-chan used to always go there to
escape her studies."
"We could try it." Kakyuu agreed.
The two began to run to their destination.
"Motoki-kun!" Makoto yelled as she entered.
"Hello, Mako-chan." Motoki greeted. "Who's your friend?"
"I'm Kakyuu Ouhi." Kakyuu bowed.
"There is no time for this!" Makoto yelled. "Motoki-kun, have you seen Usagi-chan? She's
missing!"
"She was here earlier. She told me about Mamoru... She must be taking it hard."
"Did you see where she was going?"
Motoki shook his head.
"Thanks anyway, Motoki-kun!" Makoto yelled as she and Kakyuu left the place.
----------------
"Minako-chan," Yaten began. "Do you have any idea where she might be?"
"Uh..." Minako began. "She could be at Mamoru-san's apartment! She has the duplicate key
afterall!"
"Then we should head there?" Taiki asked.
Minako nodded as the three headed that way...
--------------------
Usagi sighed. 'Motoki-kun knows, the Three Lights know, the girls know, Kakyuu-san knows...
I still have to tell my family about Mamoru-san... Michiru and Haruka need to know too...'
Usagi began to cry again. 'Why did you have to leave me?'
*****
~When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls~
******
Usagi spotted a nearby telephone booth and began to call Michiru and Haruka's number.
---------
"Hello?" Michiru answered.
-------
"Hello, it's Usagi."
-------
Michiru noticed the tone in Usagi's voice. "Is something wrong?"
------
"I wanted to let you and Haruka-san know that Mamoru-san died in a plane crash." Usagi
cried.
-----
"Oh my gosh... Usagi-chan, I'm so sorry."
----
"Please tell Haruka the news, and tell her not to worry."
----
"I will, goodluck Usagi-chan."
----
.click. Michiru had hung up... Probably from shock.
Usagi took a deep breath as she pulled her sweater closer to herself. 'I better be going
home now. I'm sure that Mama and the others are worried."
*****
So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
*****
'I just wish that life was perfect. I really wished that Mamo-chan was my prince... Now
I'm not sure...'
*****
~Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
Or am I meant to walk these streets alone?~
*****
----------------------------
In the distance, Seiya was watching. He was afraid to approach her because he saw her
sadness. Still, he wanted to cheer her up. 'Please Usagi, give me one chance.' Seiya
decided to follow her. He wanted to make sure she was safe and besides she needed someone
to listen. Anyone. Seiya wanted to be that person.
-------------------------
Usagi sighed as she passed Juuban High School. 'I should have begged him not to go! I
didn't know it'd be this hard! I didn't know he'd leave! Mamo-chan, I want you here!'
*****
~If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side~
*****
"Ouch!" Usagi screamed as she ran into something. "Ginga-san?"
It was Ginga and her friends.
"Reiko, Akane!" Usagi shouted. "If you try something, I'm not even going to take it today.
I don't really care what you guys do! Mamo-chan is gone and I don't even care anymore."
Ginga let out a low chuckle.
"What is so funny?" Usagi cried. "I'm in pain here!"
"I did it." Ginga laughed.
"You did what?" Usagi cried.
"I had someone rig the plane with the Three Lights special and the one that Mamoru was
on..." Ginga smiled. "Clever wasn't it?"
"No!" Usagi screamed. "No! No! No!"
*****
When the last tear drop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
*****
"I know because I helped." Suzu added.
"Don't take all the credit, because we helped too!" Reiko yelled.
"I can't believe it! Don't you know what you have done?" Usagi cried. "Don't you know
pain?"
That's when Seiya entered the picture. "Leave her alone! I heard what you said. Now,
leave!"
Ginga laughed. "What can you do?"
"I can tell the police and everyone what you've been doing. You and your little group
have been trying to get rid of us from the start!" Seiya screamed.
"You have no proof!" Nezu replied. "Besides, you can't win when a cute face like this is
against you!"
Usagi fell to her knees. "I can't believe this... I just can't... Seiya, make it stop...
Make them stop!"
*****
~When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls~
*****
Ginga began her laughter again. "Besides, what if I really didn't rig the plane? What if
I'm bluffing?"
"I don't know," Seiya began. "But, I've also had a bad feeling about you. Just leave
Usagi and my brothers alone!"
"For now..." Ginga smiled.
"Come on, Usagi." Seiya tried to smile as he helped her up. "I'll walk you home. Everyone
is worried."
*****
Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end, baby
*****
"We're here." Seiya smiled as they approached Usagi's doorstep.
"Thank you, Seiya."
"Are you sure that you're okay?"
"No," Usagi shook her head. "I can't live without him! Seiya, I can't I just can't!"
*****
~When the last tear drop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be~
*****
"Usagi..." Seiya started. "I want you to know that I'll always be here for you when you
need me."
Usagi nodded. "Thank you, Seiya."
*****
When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
*****
Seiya didn't know what he was doing, but he gave Usagi a kiss... and she returned it.
*****
