Wow, I revised this baby like crazy. I never realized how bad my grammar was when I was young. blush Thank god for High School.

I do NOT own Sailor Moon, wish I did, but I don't. Takeuchi Naoko owns it. Lucky.

CH: 1- Goodbye my love

Moonlight poured over the small cafe as the clouds parted aside. Little tables filled the front of the small cafe, most of them were occupied. All alone at one table sat seventeen year old Usagi Tsukino. Her Cinnamon Bun in front of her lay untouched, as she stared into space, not paying attention to anything, or especially anyone. This certain somebody sat in front of her surprised. Mamoru sat there wondering why Usagi hadn't touched her bun, or wasn't her usual perky self. He had called her name about three times before he finally got her back into the real world.

"Usako, you ok? You haven't touched your cinnamon bun at all, aren't you hungry?" he said with a hint of concern in his voice.

"Nani?" she said snapping her head up, but quickly she shook her head and stared strangely at her pastry. She shoved it away from herself. As she let out a sigh she put her head in her hands. She noticed that Mamoru was looking at her oddly.

"Gomen nasai Mamo-chan, I'm just feeling a bit under the weather today I guess, I think it'd be better if I went home instead." Mamoru nodded and got up; he put everything in a tiny bag and handed it to Usagi who thanked him lightly. They got everything together and walked off.

"Usa, there's something wrong, you aren't yourself, please tell me, what's the matter?" Mamoru stared at the small blonde as she walked with her head down. She shook her head and kept walking.

"Its nothing, I just feel as if I'm not the same, everything's changed Mamoru, but then again it's like it hasn't...I've been confused a lot lately, I don't know what I want anymore." He nodded at that, things had changed, Galaxia was gone, and nothing was really happening in Tokyo lately, everything had turned to normal, but he was wrong. The relationship he had with Usagi was becoming further and further apart, plus in 3 days he was to be leaving again to a law school in America, for 4 years. When he told Usagi this news, it had only made her more depressed. He had a feeling he knew what the problem was, he just had to make sure.

"Um...Usagi-Chan, I want to know, if your problem, has anything to do with a specific something, or someone even?"

She lifted her head and looked at Mamoru, she wasn't sure what she was feeling, all she did know what that it wasn't a happy feeling. It felt more like emptiness. Now that Mamo-chan was leaving, it was worse, but it wasn't like she wasn't sad before that. Ever since everything had ended, she felt strange, as if something had left herself too. She wasn't the same with Mamoru either, she would usually be stuck onto him like glue, but wasn't. She knew and admitted, that her love for him was slowly fading away, sad but true.

"Mamo-chan, your right, I don't feel like myself, and I think I need time to sort it all out, by myself, I know that I haven't been to close to you recently, but I think it'll help if I were alone, maybe that's all I need is time and thought...that's something new huh?", she smiled lightly, it seemed to be the first smile she'd worn in days. Mamoru smiled back at her. He felt a twinge of sadness in his heart but he loved her, and whatever made her happy, he would let it be done.

They hadn't noticed that they were directly in front of Usagi's house now, but soon came to a halt in front of the door. Mamoru had his hands in his pockets and was looking glum. Usagi noticed his sadness, and felt guilt tear through her for a moment. She gave Mamoru a hug, and didn't let him go. He returned the hug, in great gratitude; it let him know that his Usagi still loved him even if they were separating. He gave her a short peck on the lips and let her go. Her eyes were a bit watery, but she held them back.

"Mamo-chan, remember me always, aishiteru..." with that she stepped inside her house, closing the door behind her. Mamoru stared at the door before turning around and walking away. Before he turned the corner, he snatched a quick glance back at the Tsukino residence and whispered. "Aishiteru Usako...Sayonara", with that he was gone.
