"Usagi..." a voice whispered. The blonde's eyes opened. She looked around nervously. It was dark all around her. That voice... it sounded hauntingly familiar to her.
"Usagi!" the voice said again, a bit louder. "USAGI!" It was angry now. Usagi sat up, but she realized she wasn't in her bed, just in empty space.
"Usagi, this is your fault! It's your fault I'm dead."
"N-nani?"
"If you had obeyed me, I wouldn't be dead! You should've been a better daughter!"
Usagi shook her head furiously. "Iie... it couldn't have been! Papa, forgive me! Sumimasen!"
"I can't forgive you for this. You killed me."
"Papa..." Usagi was searching for him in the darkness but couldn't find him. "Papa I... I didn't mean to! I love you so much! I miss you!"
"PAPA!!!!!!!!!" Usagi cried, thrashing in her bed.

"Usagi-chan?" Minako grabbed her shoulder gently.
Usagi woke up and wrapped her arms around Minako's waist, crying uncontrollably. "Usagi-chan, what's wrong?"
"I new it.... It's my fault..." Usagi was able to gasp out.
"Nani? What are you talking about?" Rei asked.
Usagi pushed herself away from Minako and got up from bed. "Where's Mama?"
"She's asleep still."
"Shingo?"
"He's in his room, I think Mako-chan is talking to him."
Usagi's bottom lip trembled. "I want my Papa..." Minako looked at Rei.
Usagi's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she felt herself falling forward. Minako quickly caught her, and laid her down on the bed just as Mamoru entered her room. "I just heard." He eyed Usagi. "How is she doing?"
"Eh...."
He looked from Minako to Rei. "Well?"
"She's not so good." Rei said. "I think she was dreaming about her papa."
"Kami..." Mamoru sighed. He knew this was going to be a long and difficult road. "Her okaa and Shingo?"
"Tsukino-san is sleeping, and Shingo-kun's in denial. I hope Mako-chan can talk some sense into him."
Mamoru nodded. "Ne, do you mind if I sit with her for a while? I think Ami- chan's getting anxious pacing down there alone."
"Okei." Minako and Rei nodded, and left the room.
Since there was no chair, Mamoru sat on the bed and put his arm around Usagi. She immediately wrapped her arms around him. He could feel her shaking a bit, but didn't know if it was from the cold or shock. Either way, he pulled the covers around her more tightly. "Kami, help Usako to get through this..."
Usagi stirred awake. "Mamo-chan?"
"Usako..."
"Mamo-chan, he's gone, I killed him."
"What are you talking about, Usako?"
She looked up at him with guilt-ridden eyes. "Papa... I... I killed him."
"No you didn't, Usako. What would make you think that?"
"He told me."
"Nani?"
"Earlier," she explained. "in my dream. It was all dark and I could hear his voice. He said, "'If you had obeyed me, I wouldn't be dead! You should've been a better daughter!'"
"That was only a dream, Usako."
Usagi shook her head. "I don't think so, Mamo-chan. He's coming back to haunt me because I killed him."
"Iie, Usako. You didn't kill him!"
"What makes you so certain!?" Usagi screamed in tears. She had pulled away from him.
"Shhh, calm down Usako."
Usagi took a deep breath. "Gomen ne... Mamo-chan, will you just hold me?"
Mamoru nodded, and wrapped his arms around her. "Will this feeling... will it ever go away?" she whispered.
"I don't know."
