CHAPTER SIX: THE FIRE WITHIN HER
The next day Usagi walked silently towards her school as if she were dead. Her eyes held no emotion what so ever, but deep inside you could see a fire that needed to be lighten.
"Usagi!" Minako shouted gladly.
Usagi's head turned towards her three friends. They gasped from seeing empty eyes and the aura of depression around her.
"What happened Usagi?" Ami asked afraid to know the answer yet determined to find out.
Silently Usagi said, "Mamoru is cheating on me," Moist was beginning to fog up her vision, as her friends were shocked.
"Oh, Usagi, I'm sorry," Makoto began, "I promise to kill that asshole!"
The other two agreed with a nod as Usagi wiped the tears away with the sleeve of her shirt and said, "Please don't, I'll get over it."
The three looked at her in concern as they walked away to their school.
(*) (*) (*)
Duo leaned against the tree, waiting for Usagi to come. His heart began pumping faster from just thinking about her, 'Man I'm all out about her. Is it because she doesn't glomp me or is it because I can talk to her?'
"I guess," Minako's voice made Duo look up to see Usagi and her three friends.
He was confused to why Usagi looked so... so... dead like. His heart stopped and twisted at such a sight, 'What's wrong with you Usagi?'
Duo watched as Usagi's form disappeared into the school as the bell rang.
(*) (*) (*)
Minako sat in her seat feeling uncomfortable about the situation that ruined Crystal Tokyo completely, 'What about Chibiusa?' she thought.
She leaned in her seat as a note landed on her desk. She looked up and saw Duo eyeing her. She then looked down at the note, not even caring that it was 'the' Duo Maxwell who sent her this.
She picked it up and read, 'What is wrong with Usagi?'
Her heart dropped at the mention of her poor friend's name. She thought for a minute before saying, "I can trust him."
She quickly grabbed a pencil and scribbled down her answer. After that she folded the paper and through it at Duo and it landed on his desk.
(*) (*) (*)
Duo looked down at the fold up note and took it. Unfolded it quickly and read, 'She found out Mamoru was cheating on her.'
Duo was in shock as anger began building inside of him. He then stole a look at Usagi and saw the blank eyes she had. He frowned as he looked at Minako to see if it's true.
Minako nodded slowly with narrowed eyes that directed hatred towards Mamoru.
Duo turned back to his work as stack after stack of hatred consumed him as a little sparkle of warmth entered him, 'I might have a chance with Usagi, after I beat that bastard up first.'
(*) (*) (*)
Usagi sat there with her eyes on her paper. Sure she blinked a few times but inside it was aching to have someone hold her as she cried. The fire in her burned slightly.
Then she felt someone look at her and then he went back to work, 'Duo..' she thought as the little fire grew a bit bigger.
But then a bullet was shot through her chest, 'Mamoru... how could you.'
The fire in her blew right out by an unknown force, but then came back to life a bit. Then memories of her old boyfriend flashed through her head, the times he held her, the times he saved her and the times she tasted his lips just overwhelmed her head.
A tornado appeared in her soul and started ripping the fire. The little light desparatly fought the giant cone of wind. Usagi bit her lower lip, 'Why am I resisting defeat? Why can't I just give up since I'm not good enough for anyone?'
'Not good for anyone...' those thoughts whipped at the burning flame as the spiraling wind finished the work and destroyed it completely.
She was now empty from the emotion of love. True love.
(*) (*) (*)
The bell rang, signaling that school was over. Duo got up and quickly stuffed his homework in his book bag and left silently as Usagi slowly got up with her books in her hands and went out.
"Usagi, I heard that there's a new Sailor V game at the crown. Let's go check it out," Rei suggested for she knew what had happened from Minako.
Usagi stared blankly at her and replied, "No, you go. I need time to think."
The four nodded as they saw Usagi walk towards the park with her books in her arms.
She walked in a steady rhythm as the wind blew locks of her hair behind her. With a blink of her eyes she walked into the park full of innocent children laughing, not having a care about the world.
'The war just ended they should be happy, yet they don't know the pain in the world,' she thought as she leaned against the solid trunk of the tree. The shadow made her relax as she sloppily dropped her books to the ground. Her eyes closed in order to create a wall to block those stupid tears of hers.
A pained sigh escaped her soul as a figure walked up to her.
"What's wrong?" he stated for he knew exactly what the problem was.
Usagi looked up and saw Duo staring at her with a spark of worry in his eyes, "Nothing."
Duo frowned, he hated when people lied to him, "It doesn't look like nothing."
"Why would you care?" Usagi asked with a slightly anger tone.
Duo smiled, "This seems familiar."
Usagi stared at him with one of her eyebrows quirked upwards as she remembered that day clearly.
~FLASHBACK~
"What's wrong?" a feminine voice asked.
Duo looked up and saw a girl around his age, sixteen maybe. She was wearing a school uniform with a heart shaped broach. Her golden hair was tied into meatballs at the sides of her head. Her eyes held worry towards him.
It took a minute for Duo to reply softly, "Nothing."
The teenaged girl didn't seem satisfied with the answer for she said, "It doesn't look like nothing. You seem hurt."
Duo frowned and said a bit harshly, "Why would you care? You don't even know me."
The girl then looked slightly hurt and then said, "You seem like need help or a friend. The war has been over now and I didn't help much," she smiled and continued, "Now I'm hoping to help people as much as possible."
Duo smiled at her and introduced himself, "Name's Duo Maxwell. I might run and hide, but I'll never tell a lie."
The girl smile grew, "My name's Usagi Tsukino."
~END OF FLASHBACK~
Slowly a smile was painted on her face, "The first time we first met."
Duo's heart became lighter at Usagi's smile, "Yeah, I'm sorry."
Usagi looked at him with confusion, "For what?"
Duo swallowed his saliva and answered, "For being rude to you."
Usagi smiled softly as the word 'angel' wandered in Duo's head, "It's alright, you had problems."
Then Duo's face straightened, "Yeah, and you helped me. Now I want to help you."
Usagi's face saddened as Duo's heart ached to hold her, "You can't help me."
Duo was determined at first, but now he was extra determined, "I can help and I will help." He stated firmly as dark clouds stared to roll in. Parents then stared to gather up their children.
"I don't know..." Usagi said softly as tears began to blur her vision again.
Duo's face softened as he walked up closer to her, "I promise to help you."
Usagi had an uncertain look on her face as a tear escaped its prison and slowly made its path towards the ground. By now they were alone, yet they didn't care for they were staring at each other's eyes.
Duo licked his lips because he hard an urge to kiss the salted tear away, "I care about you...' he whispered softly.
Usagi stared downwards so the tear could have and easier escape route, "No you can't..."
Duo's hand reached up and held her cheek as softly as humanly possible. He forced with little strength for her to look into his eyes. Usagi's head came up to see emotion in Duo's eyes. A pure emotion she had forgotten.
Hesitantly Duo whispered the words he so longed to tell her, even if it had been a few days, "I love you, Usagi Tsukino with all my heart."
Usagi gasped as another tear rolled down her cheek but never reached the ground for Duo wiped it away with his thumb.
A light appeared in the ashes of Usagi's love. Slowly the little light grew brighter, but just a bit.
Duo licked his lips again as he looked down at the woman he loves.
Then dreaded words escaped her mouth, "I don't believe you."
Duo's heart twisted into an unbearable knot, "Why?"
Usagi blinked, "I don't want to get hurt again,"
The little light started to fade within her as she thought of what Mamoru had done to her.
Duo shook his head slowly, "He had broken your heart, but I can mend it."
Usagi looked at him admirably, "Duo..."
Duo bent down to her ear and whispered, "If you let me in your heart..."
Duo got to an upright position and leaned down to capture her silky lips. Sweet energy entered his system.
Usagi's eyes were wide as the flame in her body grew. Usagi couldn't help herself as she leaned in and savored the feeling his lips gave her.
The flame immediately came to life, bursting with love and emotions.
Duo's heart went insane as they parted their lips, "I love you."
Usagi smiled, "I love you too."
