Chapter 1: Bad News and Reunions
August 9, 1945 10:17am
"Excuse me! I need to get through. Please move! Get out of my way, please!" a frantic blonde rushed through the crowded halls of the makeshift hospital. A-bomb vicitms, from Hiroshima and surrounding cities, littered every crevice and corner of the building. Chiba Usagi resisted the overwhelming urge to faint at the sight of melted skin and/or missing limbs. Trying the best she could, Usagi kept her eyes forward and made her way through the thicket of people.

"Miss, excuse me miss. I need help. I'm trying to find my husband. He was in Matsuyama for a surgical seminar." after an hour of searching, Usagi had finally found her object of desire, the front desk.
"Calm down. We have many people here. Your husband may or maynot be one of them. What is his name?" the women behind the counter looked expectantly at the odangoed women before her.
*What an odd hairstyle. How does she do that?*
"Chiba, Mamoru. That's his name. Please tell me he's here." tears threatened to swell onto Usagi's pale skin.
The clerk quickly searched through the files, and happily sighed. She could help this women.
"Your in luck, he is in room 218. Fourtunately, that is right down the hall. Hope you find what you're looking for miss." the women smiled warmly at Usagi.
"Arigato." without further hesitation, Usagi waddled off in search of her love. Only one thought present in her mind.
*Please, dear god, let him be okay.*

Chiba Usagi, pregnant of 8 months, made her way to the ever impatient phone that had been ringing for 5 mins. non-stop. Picking up the reciever, she angrily spat her greetings.
"Hello this is Chiba Usagi and this had better be good. You know how rude it is ---"
"Usagi, this is Rei. I have some news, so you might want to sit down for this." Rei's voice was trembling with every other word. This, of course, did not get past Usagi, who was slightly frightened of the sound of her best friend's voice.
"Okay, I'm sitting down. Now what do you need to tell me? What's wrong Rei?" Usagi listened intensly to what was flowing, in broken syllables, from Rei's mouth. Her eyes went wide, and tears threatened to erupt.
As all the information registered, a warm feeling emcompased Usagi's body. A loud sound was heard on the other end when the phone hit the floor.
"Usagi! Usagi?!"

August 9, 1945 11:36am
Usagi stood, looking at the heavy oak door to her husband's room. She had all but flown down the hallway to get to his room, but was now too afraid to go inside. Absentmindedly ready to flee, Usagi's thoughts were interrupted by a chorus of feminine voices. Quickly turning around, she found herself face to face with her four best friends.
"Oh Usagi, how is he. Do you know?" Makato lovingly hugged her pale friend. Usagi just stared at the floor.
"I don't know. I just got here and am too afraid to go inside." she looked up at Minako, Ami, Rei, and Makato, tears streaming down her drained face. "I don't know what I'll find in there. For all I know, he could be fine, but then... I can't even bring myself to enter his room. He could be dying right now and I can't go see him. I'm so ashamed."
"Usagi, don't ever feel that way. You shouldn't be ashamed. I don't think any of us could have handled this situtation better than you are right now. Hell, I might have run away. Don't be so harsh on yourself, it's natural to be afraid. Listen, to make things a bit better, we will all go in together." Rei gently wiped the tears on Usagi's face away.
"Gomen ne. Arigato minna." Usagi smiled at them and they all entered Mamoru's room.

After Usagi had awaken from her fainting spell, she began to prepare to leave for Japan. Her train would leave at 11:30am the next day, and all her packing was done. The only thing she could do now, was wait.
"Why did this have to happen now? Why?!" the tears had finally arrived and Usagi made no attempt to stop them. Lying on the bed she cried herself to sleep. The last sounds heard being that of the news in the background.
"Today, August 6 of 1945, the Americans unleashed a force by the name of 'Little Boy' at 8:15 this morning on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. So far 20,000 people are missing or have parished.
