The three girls broke their transformation before entering the hospital. "Can someone help us!" Ami cried.
A doctor rushed over to the girls, recognizing Ami as one of his collegues' daughters. He shouted to an orderly to get a gurney immediately. "What happened?" he asked as Makoto and Rei laid Usagi onto the gurney.
"Well, Usagi was crossing the street, and a car hit her and sped off," Makoto lied. It looked like a car accident, so she hoped they would buy it.
"Ah," the doctor responded, examining Usagi. "She's bleeding internally," he exclaimed. "Lets get her to the OR STAT!"
He turned to Ami. "Call her parents and tell them what happened. You girls can go to the waiting room near the OR. You know where that is, ne?"
"Hai, Tsetsuko-sensei," Ami responded. The man said no more as they rushed Usagi up to the OR.
"Kami," Rei whispered. "I hope she'll be alright."
"She HAS to be!" Ami whispered.

Minako stepped off the elevator, seeing the other three Senshi nervously sitting, anxious for news on Usagi.
Ami didn't notice Minako step off the elevator. She knew the situation was serious. They could very well lose Usagi this time. *We're supposed to protect her! Kami-sama... don't take her away from us! Onegai!*
"Kami, that girl was hard to calm down. She must really be Usagi-chan's sister. How is Usagi?"
"Not good," Rei said, coming out of her chant. "She's bleeding internally and they're trying to stop it. I-I don't know how much more of this waiting I can take..." Rei was shaking with fear now. The girls had never seen the Miko so unglued. They knew Rei cared very much for Usagi, much more than the others could comprehend.
Makoto put her arm around Minako's shoulders. "We just have to wait and see...and have faith."
Just then Mamoru rushed into the waiting room. Since Usagi hadn't transformed he didn't realize she was in trouble until it was too late. "Where is she!?"
"She's in the OR, as far as we know." Rei said sadly.
"What happened?" He asked, sitting next to Ami. She quickly explained everything to him, even the bit about Kiseki.
Mamoru just sat back in his seat. "Kami..."
Dr. Tsetsuko slowly headed to the waiting room. He hated being be the bearer of not-so-good news. Not that the young girl was going to die... True, it was a possibility, as it was with any kind of severe injury or trauma, but Usagi had almost gone into cardiac arrest. He cleared his throat and the three girls, plus two newcomers stood up. "Usagi is being taken to ICU at this time. She's not out of the woods yet, though." He waited for any questions.
"Did they stop the bleeding?" Makoto asked.
"Is she concious?"
"Can we see her?"
"Is she stable?"
"How long will she be in here?"
"How fast can she recover?"
He sighed with a hint of smile on his face. "One at a time, please..." Tsetsuko then answered each question. "The bleeding has been stopped, she's not conscious, she's gone into shock, you can see her one at a time, she's not as stable as we'd like her to be, she'll be in her for quite a while." He took a breath. "Anything else?"
Everyone looked at eachother. "Can we see her now?"
"In about five minutes. I'll send a nurse in when she's settled. Oh, have you gotten a hold of Usagi's parents yet?"
"Hai, they should be coming soon," Ami informed him.
Tsetsuko nodded. "If all your questions are answered, I need to get to my rounds."
"When is the nurse coming?" Minako asked.
"She should be here soon," the doctor replied.
"Arigatou, Tsetsuko-sensei," Mamoru said. The doctor nodded.
As the doctor was leaving, a nurse stopped in front of the group. "Are you here for Tsukino-san?"
"Hai," Rei replied.
"Well, she can have visitors now. Who is first?"
Mamoru smiled greatfully at the girls. "I guess that's me."
Everyone nodded. "Tell her we say hi," Minako said.
"I will," he replied, then turned to the nurse. "Lead the way."
The nurse lead him down the hall and around the corner, and shortly after, Ikuko and Kenji stepped off the elevator.
Ikuko was mess when the to walked into the waiting room. She didn't say much as the girls greeted them and explained what happened.
Kenji hugged her, trying to comfort her. "Thanks for taking care of Usagi," he told the girls. "Can we see her?"
"Mamoru-san is with her right now," Rei explained. "But seeing as your her parents, I'm sure Ami-chan could talk to the doctor for you."
"Is that the boy she sees?" Kenji asked icily.
"H-hai, Tsukino-san," Rei replied nervously.
"Kenji," Ikuko finally spoke up, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down. Think about Usagi. You know how much she cares about that boy, she'd want him there."
Kenji sighed, and slumped. "You're right. Still, I'd like to see my baby girl."
"I'll see if I can find the doctor or my mother," Ami said. Kenji nodded.
A few minutes later, Ami returned to with her mother in tow. "Kenji-san, Ikuko-san," she greeted. She was a good friend of theirs since Usagi and Ami became friends. "Follow me, kudasai."
Ikuko nodded. "Arigatou, Emi-san."
************
"Gomen, Usako, that I couldn't be there to protect you." Mamoru said quietly.
"Mamo-chan..."
"Usako! Daijobou?"
"Mamo-chan, is Kiseki all right?" she gasped out.
"Hai," Mamoru said. "She's worried about you."
She smiled at him, inwardly wincing. "Mamo-chan... if I die..." Usagi took a breath, it was hard to breath with broken ribs. "If I die, will you watch over her for me?"
"Usako, onegai, don't think like that!"
"Mamo-chan!" she cried. "Just promise me!"
"Hai, I promise," he said. "Demo...you're going to be alright. You have to be!"
"Arigatou..." Usagi's eyelids were drooping. "I'm so tired... it hurts too much..."
"Usako, hang in there. I love you..."
"I love you too, Mamo..." Usagi never finished.
"Usako.." Mamoru sighed as she slipped away.
