Save My Broken World
~!! Important Note !!~ Thank you everyone soooooo much!!! I love all of your reviews!! I would
like 15 more reviews again for the next chapter, so that's 75 reviews total. As soon as the counter
reaches that number chapter 6 goes up! I was surprised to find that I had gotten 5 more reviews
when I got home this afternoon, making a total of 60 reviews! I was so happy! So here I am
putting up this chapter as promised!! =)Thanks again so much! I've decided that since you've all
been so nice and supportive, I'd make all the chapters longer like 3 and 4! =) Nice little way to
say thank you I thought!! If anyone wants to be notified about updates, tell me and leave your
email! Thanks again so much!!!
I need to say something about Makoto's parents as a background sort of thing. They are very
close with the King and Queen. He therefore trusts them enough to give them the job of handling
all of his important documents. A good thing to know when reading this chapter! =)
MooCow - When I read your review, I felt guilty. If I somehow made you feel bad I'm sorry!!
Silver_Star - What can I say, you gave me some good laughs! =)
*Upon seeing the furious look in her parent's eyes, Makoto asked concernedly, "Are you
guys okay?"
"That would depend. Like your Dad said, we need to talk to Usagi," Constance replied in a
cold voice.
"What do you need to talk about?"
"Don't play stupid, Usagi! We know what you did! Now admit the truth!" George yelled at
her.
Usagi's eyes became teary not only because of what they had said, but also the way they
had said it and the way in which they were looking at her with such hatred. She was so close to
crying that she was afraid that if she spoke, a waterfall would be unleashed. She choked back her
tears and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Cut the crap, liar, and own up to what you did! We already know what you did so stop
trying to hide the truth. But I'll give you one word to help you 'remember': Thief."
"You think I stole something from you? Please! You have to believe me! I touched nothing
of yours!" No matter how hard she tried or how many mental dams she built, the tears came.
And what came with them was a lot of heartache.
"Usagi, not only are you a thief, but you can't even remember what you did! That or you
think you can actually try to convince us you're innocent!" George started laughing and
Constance joined in, too. Usagi had thought her heart could crack no more, but their evil
howling just made that crack in her heart spider in a million directions. She knew that if she was
thrown another hard blow, it would shatter. Shatter and lay dispersed on the floor. And once that
happened, no matter how many bottles of glue you went through, it would never be enough to
piece back together the whole heart it once was.
"Please believe-" she was cut of from trying to defend herself.
"We'll tell you what you did, for Makoto's sake, so she knows the type of friend she trusted
in. Do you want to tell her or should I?"
"I think I would like to," George said, "but feel free to add anything you'd like. Usagi, I'll
lay it out simply for you. Since your brain can't remember, it would NOT be able to comprehend
otherwise."
Usagi was once again hurt by the false hurtful words he spoke.
"We had some very important documents sitting out somewhere. We looked for them but
they couldn't be found. That was when we asked Heero and Duo if they had seen them. Duo was
the one to help. He said he saw you take them and put them in your saddle. He showed us the
papers and sure enough they were the ones. You stole those documents! Do you know how
important those are! We needed those documents! They are going to save us from going to war!
WAR!!!! Luckily, Duo saw you take them! You probably know this already, but those are the
peace treaties with our two neighboring countries! If you had escaped with them, you would
have been the cause of war and bloodshed! I'm proud of my boy Duo for catching you! I wonder
how long your thievery has been going on? One year? Two years? Your whole life? I'm glad your
parents aren't here to see your treasonous doings! They would have be devastated!! You're lucky
they aren't here, you little-"
Usagi could not take it any more. All these accusations. All these lies. All the pain. Just .
. . everything. Her heart shattered. It broke. She could see all the tiny shards of what was once
her heart, scattered in front of her. "Stop it alright! Just STOP!!" She ran out the door, the tears
still flowing. Is it possible for the tears to stop flowing after you lost your most treasured and
irreplaceable possession, your heart?
Usagi ran blindly down the hall. She unknowingly passed Heero and Duo while racing to
free herself. If you run fast enough, can you leave it all behind? Can you run from the past and
make it never have happened? She hoped so. She shoved the door open and raced to the barn.
She somehow saddled her horse and tied the bow and quiver to it. After mounting, she rode
away from the house. The place where her smashed heart lay on the floor.
~~~~~~~~~
Duo decided not to watch the 'show' because he didn't want Heero to become suspicious.
So he stayed in the living room. He was going to stay there until the whole thing was over, but
after a while, he couldn't help himself. He had to see it. He was walking down the hall when a
sobbing Usagi ran past him. After seeing that, the best way to describe how he felt, was
panicked. He raced to his parents and blurted out, "It was my fault I did it!! It was a prank!! Just
a joke! She had nothing to do with it! I did it! It was me!! Get me in trouble not her!! Please!
She's innocent! Please!!-"
Constance interrupted Duo, "Dear. Don't try to cover for what Usagi did. What she did was
wrong and she deserves to be punished. You're a good friend to Usagi, and we understand that
that's why you're saying the things you said, but friendship doesn't mean that you take the blame
for something you didn't do."
"But Mom, that's just it! I'm trying to take the blame for what I did by telling you I DID
IT!!"
"Duo that's enough. Conversation over! Quit trying to get yourself in trouble for that girl!!
Not another word! Understand?!"
Duo was finally able to get past his emotions and say, "Yes, Dad." He knew when he was
kicking a dead horse.
~~~~~~~~~
Makoto and Heero were standing beside one another listening to the exchange of words
between Duo and their parents.
"Yes, Dad," Duo said and ran to his room.
Makoto turned to Heero and grabbed the front of his shirt. "Please Heero! Please! You
have to go after Usagi! Go after her and tell her the truth. Let her know it was a joke! Please
Heero! I know Usagi!! I know she's dieing right now!!! You must tell her!!" Makoto had tears
pouring down her face and dripping off her chin.
In answer to Makoto's pleading, he grunted and walked away.
Makoto stuck around with her parents, not knowing what else to do.
~~~~~~~~~
"What do we do now, George?"
"I'm going to write a letter to the King. I've decided to press charges. If she had just
admitted what she did, admitted it was wrong and was truly sorry for it, I wouldn't have. But her
display has made me think otherwise."
"You're right. Let's press charges."
So they sat down and wrote the letter. It explained all of what had happened. He told which
document they were, peace treaties and letters from the neighboring countries. He requested of
the King to search her saddle and get the papers, because if he had taken them he would be
guilty of trespassing. Finishing the note, he told what he was committing her for, theft and
treason.
He sealed the note and gave it to a servant to give to the King. The servant immediately left
at a quick pace.
~~~~~~~~~
Duo was sickened with himself. He felt like dying. The moment he had seen her run out
with all those tears on her face, he knew he had gone to far. He gone past joking. He played a
practical joke, and the result was ruining one of his best friend's life. Knowing his parents, they'd
charge her for theft and treason. Treason. The punishment is death. He would be the sole reason
for Usagi's execution. It was his fault. All his doing.
"What have I done."
Walking over to his bed, Duo collapsed like the broken soul he was and cried. Cried for all
that he had done and what it would bring. Cried for the life that would end because of him. The
life he had destroyed.
~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was racing home as fast as she could. She was sitting on the saddle and was bent
over, her hands full of Fairylight's mane, and her face buried in it. The mane was soaked. All
those tears she had cried, at their house, in the barn, all of them, and they still kept coming. They
couldn't stop. She didn't what them to stop. She wanted them to come. It was a sign of all the
heartache she was being subjected to. 'This must have been the big thing I felt would happen
tonight. Not what her parents did to me, but my heart thoroughly breaking for the 2nd time. How
often can a heart be broken so completely, and yourself still be able to live?' Suddenly, all she
could see was black, and then, she was aware of nothing.
~~~~~~~~~
Heero mounted his horse and took off. He knew the way Usagi went home, so he took a
short cut to catch up with her. Mokoto had given him a good excuse to go after Usagi. Even if
she hadn't said anything to him, he still would have. Even if he didn't care for her, he would have
because of Makoto. So there were many reasons as to why he could have gone. But he knew
why. He knew why he felt that pain when he saw her race past him crying. Why he felt so
anxious to catch up to her at this very moment. He cared. He really cared.
There she was! He could see her! He shouted and the horse went faster. That was when he
saw her fall off the horse. He hopped off his horse and quickly raced to her side. Checking her
pulse, he was relieved to find out she had just fainted. He knew she was strong, but having
another horrible thing like this happen again in her life, he understood her fainting. He would
never admit it to another living soul, but he probably would have done the same thing, had he
been in her shoes. He admired her for the strength she had to last as long as she did.
After picking her up and mounting his horse, he grasped Fairylight's reins and headed
toward the castle at a slow pace. Careful, so as to not disturb Usagi. The whole time he had his
arms wrapped about her tiny waist, keeping her safe from the world.
~~~~~~~~~
The sun had risen and the birds began there morning chorus. But Usagi was unaware of it
all in her blissful slumber. Blissful, until she abruptly shot up. Relief suddenly replaced the grief
stricken look she had worn. 'Oh. It was just a dream. No. More, a lot more, like a nightmare.
What a relief. My heart didn't break again! I've no clue what I would have done if it had. Such a
relief. It had hurt so much! I'm so glad it was just a horrifying nightmare!' Letting out a sigh of
relief, she got up. As she was changing out of her pajamas, she realized something. Funny thing
was, these were the same pj's she had worn at Makoto's house in her dream.
She walked over to the door. That was when she stopped, frozen. There on the floor was a
letter, and spelled in ink on the top was Usagi. The last and only other time she had gotten a
letter slipped under her door, was when she was informed that her parents had died during the
night. She couldn't help but remember, and be anxious to find out what this note read.
Opening the note it read:
Dear Usagi,
We have been informed of the crimes you committed last night. The Cove's, George
and Constance, are pressing charges for theft and treason against the Monarchy. Theft for the
stealing of documents. The theft of the document being the reason for treason. They are peace
treaties and by stealing them you would throw our country into war and are therefore
treasonous. The documents were found in your saddle proof of the crime being committed.
Because of the seriousness of the crime, the assembly is meeting tomorrow at 2pm to discuss
what you have done. The next day your punishment will be decided upon with fairness and
justice. You are asked to attend.
Chief Assembly Representative,
