Konnichiwa minna-san! I'm sorry for neglecting this fic! I felt so bad about not updating it, so I decided to write the last chapter at 2 o'clock in the morning. So if it's a little bit weird, you'll understand why. Enjoy and please review!


Chapter Four

"You didn't answer my question, Mamoru," Usagi said, twirling the cord with her fingers nervously. "Why are you calling me? Why now after all this time?"

"Well, it is your birthday," he replied, sighing. "And…"

She rolled her eyes. Why was she so irritated? Didn't she want to talk to him?

"And what?" she asked, annoyed. "What is it, Mamoru?"

She heard him sigh in a way that made her believe he had something important to tell her. She wondered why he would be calling after all this time. What did he have to tell her?

"Usa-ko," he started.

Usagi's heart started to race. Why did he have to call her that? When he calls her that, a weird sensation fills her body. The sensation is almost serene and enjoyable. That was why she didn't want him to call her that.

"I'm sorry that I made you feel so bad," he said.

Usagi lifted her eyebrows and rage filled her body. "You're sorry? Is that all you have to say to me after the way you had treated me?"

"Usagi," he said. "Please, understand. I never meant to do that to you. I just felt so trapped and I needed a break from everything. I didn't want to hurt you, Usagi. But I promise I will make it up to you."

Usagi felt a weird feeling in her stomach. Did she really want to make up with him and be his girlfriend? A part of her did, but another part didn't. The other part wanted to start off on a new clean slate…with Seiya.

"Mamoru," she started. "I know that you didn't mean to hurt me, and I understand why you needed a break. I know, because I feel the same way."

"You do?" he asked with shock in his voice.

"Yeah," she answered. "Well, I sort of think that a break from each other will benefit the both of us. It would let us meet new people…"

"Maybe you're right, Usagi," he agreed with a deep sigh. "Maybe this was supposed to happen."

"Maybe, Mamoru," she said. "Just maybe."

After they said their good-byes, Usagi hung up the phone and sat on the floor in the dark. "It's official," she whispered to herself. "We're over…at least for now, anyway."

"Odango," a voice said from behind her. "Are you in here?"

Usagi wiped away the tiny tears that escaped from her eyes and answered, "Yeah, I'm here. You can come in Seiya."

"How did you know it was me?" he asked, and sat next to her.

"You're the only one that calls me Odango," she replied. "Besides, I know you're voice."

"Oh, yeah?" he asked.

She nodded, smiling. He lifted his hand in the dark and felt her face. "You're smiling, but you sound sad," he said. "What's wrong, Usagi?"

"Nothing," she said. "Nothing at all."

"You're lying," he said. "I can tell when you're lying."

Usagi sighed and leaned against his shoulder. "It's not that important," she said. "I'm all right and that's all that matters. I'm even better now that you're with me, Seiya. You will be with me as long as you can, right?"

"As long as the moon hangs in the sky, I will always be here," he said. "As long as you keep the moon close to your heart."

Usagi looked up into his eyes and smiled. "Maybe he was right," she thought to herself. "As long as the moon is forever in my heart, he will always be there."

They then kissed, with the milky moonlight casting a silver light around them.

The end! (finally) (It's not the greatest ending, but I tried my best)
