Chapter 2
---------
"So would you like to explain what happened Usagi? Truly, I didn't know about this...for once." Usagi and Setsuna were walking to Usagi's house. Setsuna had to know what happened to keep Rei's vision from coming true.
*Mamoru and Usagi must get back together or the future will be drastically changed.*
"Sets are you listening?" Setsuna shook out of her thoughts, she smiled at Usagi.
"Sorry, I was thinking. So what happened?"
---------
"Why are you doing this to me Usagi? What did I do?" Mamoru paced back and forth, frantically pulling at his hair. The same routine had been going on for 3 weeks now. Ever since Usagi threw the promise ring he had given her, a year ago, at him.
-Flashback (3 weeks ago)-
"I can't believe you would do this to me Mamoru! Why?!" Usagi was crying as she pulled the ring off her finger.
"After being together for 2 years! We are supposed to become King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo! How could you do this to me?! To Chibi-Usa?!" Mamoru ducked as the ring flew past his head. Usagi twirled around and headed for the door.
"What did I do Usa? Answer me that!" Mamoru ran after her, trapping Usagi's wrist in his hand. Usagi glared back at Mamoru. He audibly flinched when he looked at her eyes, dull and void of any love or happiness.
"Onegai tell me what I did. Onegai Usako."
"Don't you 'DARE' Usako me you traitor. If you don't know by now, then I guess you never will." Usagi yanked her wrist away, and ran out the door. Mamoru fell to his knees.
"Usako."
-End Flashback-
"What did I do?!"
---------
"Are you sure it was him Usagi?" Setsuna and Usagi had reached Usagi's house.
"Yes, I am. I would know those eyes anywhere." Usagi's eyes flashed then returned to normal.
"Well I'm going to talk to him now, ja ne." Setsuna turned to leave.
"Um...Sets? Onegai don't tell him what I said. I want to see if he'll figure it out. K?"
"Okay, I won't. Scouts honor." Setsuna gave a mock salute, and turned to leave. Usgai turned to go inside.
---------
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Setsuna had arrived at Mamoru's apartment, and was greated with a creaking door when knocked on. Sticking her head in, she peered around to be greeted with a seemingly sleeping Mamoru.
"Knock, knock Mamoru. Are you ok? Are you awake? You know, because I feel really foolish talking to myself." Setsuna walked up to Mamoru and placed a hand on his shoulder. In answer to her question, he looked up from a pillow his face had been buried in. She gasped softly at the image before her.
Eyes red and puffy, mouth forever turned in a saddened frown, hair disheveled, and more pale than the winter snow. His pillow was soaked through and through. A box of tissues lay next to him, with used tissues strewn about on the floor next to the trash can. Dark circles underlined his eyes, a symbol of not sleeping for days on end. Mamoru reeked of stench, for his clothes had not been washed for days.
After studying him a few minutes, she opened her mouth to speak, then silenced when a single tear skimmed down his face.
"Setsuna, I've lost her. I've lost my Usako."
---------
Setsuna held a sobbing Mamoru in her arms, as she had been doing for about 20 mins now. He had been crying savely, and she sat listening to the fight between the two through the breaking in the sobs.
"I don't know what happened. Her eyes had lost their love and happiness. She spat cruel words, and hates at me, with no seeming remorse. I never thought that possible to come from her. Why does she hate me? What did I do?" Setsuna looked down at the 24 year old man who was reduced to sobbing from the haunting words from his love.
*God, he really does love her. He never shows this in the future, at least not this much.
I have to tell him, demo Usagi told me not to, and how do I betray her majesty? Oh well, I guess I'll learn.*
"Mamoru..." she raised his face with her hand and gave him a tissue. "I have something to tell you. You know how hard it is to go against my queen's wishes, so you better not screw this chance up."
By now he had stopped crying and was giving Setsuna his full attention.
"What Setsuna?" she took a deep breath and spun her tale.
"Usagi told me why she left you. Do you remember her birthday, about 3 weeks ago?"
"Yeah. I took her out to eat."
"Okay, well, later there was a surprise party at Rei's temple. You were there, right?"
"Setsuna, I'm not a child, you don't have to talk to me like one. Demo yeah, but I only remember the first 30 mins, going to the bathroom, and then waking up in..." Mamoru's eyes widened in realization, "oh no."
"You remember now? Good, well she went to find you when she walked into Rei's room and found you on the bed with Seriu (AN: Is that how you spell her name? You know that girl that liked Darien in the Sailor Moon S series. The episode when Darien gets attacked, and Sailor Moon almost suffocates when she jumps infront of the balloon trying to steal his pure heart. You have to know, well anywayz, back to the story...). Both of you were naked and under the covers. Now can you remember what happened?"
"All I can remember is that Seriu asked me to have a drink with her and everything fuzzed after that."
"So in other words, she drugged you. In hopeful attempts to win you over by getting rid of Usagi. You know what, Mamoru? You have absolute wonderful friends." he glared at her joke.
"I need to fix this."
"Well you better do it soon, because you both are supposed to become King and Queen in a little less than 5 days. If you don't fix this you won't become King. Seiya will take your place."
"What?!"
