*Disbelief struck Usagi hard as she dropped to the floor, her eyes staring at nothing. It
was real. It wasn't a dream. As the realization hit her full force, she felt the stabbing emotional
pain again. She couldn't cry. The tears would not come. She felt so torn and exhausted that even
tears were to much of a task to handle. 'I can't believe this. I just can't believe this.' Usagi was
calm. Very calm. Too calm. It was like she had hit rock bottom and could not fall anymore. She
wasn't panicky or shedding tears, as would seem logical, she was just calm. Her eyes still stared
into nothingness as she sat on the floor, letter still held between her fingertips.
The void she was in collapsed as a knock echoed through her room. She managed to
compose herself before answering the person beyond her door. "Come in."
The door swung open to reveal Heero. He walked in before closing the door and said, "I
need to speak with you. It's urgent. It's about last night. You deserve an explanation after all. It
all started with . . ." Heero told her of the prank Duo played to get back at her for dumping the
horse poop on him and what he did afterward, cry himself to sleep. He then spoke of Makoto
pleading for him to talk to her and himself chasing after her and finding her fainted on the
ground. He brought her home and tucked her into bed.
"So all this happened due to the result of a joke," Usagi said in an tone of disbelief and
with a sad look on her face. "I can't believe this. My life was ruined because of a joke. A joke!
Where are you going?"
"To retrieve something, or should I say someone," he answered, while walking toward
the door. Opening it, he walked out and came back in dragging a person. Person being Duo.
"Uh. Hi, Usagi."
"Hey."
"Listen. I'm sorry!" He walked up to her and grabbed her hands. "You don't know how
sorry I am. My heart started breaking the moment I saw you run out crying! I realized at that
moment I had gone to far! Way to far! And I am extremely sorry! I ran to my parents explaining
what had happened and that it was all my fault! But they wouldn't believe me! They refused to
listen! I died. I truly died. I knew I had ruined your life and couldn't stand myself. I was sickened
with myself. Disgusted. I let revenge overtake me and look what happened as a result! I'm so
sorry! So extremely sorry!!! But I know no matter how many times I say it or how bad I feel, it
won't fix all the damage resulting from my prank. I feel so rotten." Duo was still looking into
Usagi's eyes as he finished speaking.
Looking into his eyes, Usagi could see that he was telling the truth. He truly was sorry
and had seen the result of his joke in full. But that didn't changed what was put into motion when
he showed the documents that were planted in her saddle to his parents.
"Duo, as hard as it is to, I forgive you. But I can't forgive and forget. Forgetting would be
like forgetting my parents died, or of Shianne moving away. It's something I'll always remember,
but won't hold against you. I'm glad you realize what happened and is going to happen because
of you. Now I just hope you remember this the next time you play a joke on somebody. Please
let me be the last one you do this to."
"I'm sorry. I can't say how relieved I am to know you forgive me, but I'll never forgive
myself. Ever. I feel to guilty. I'm so sorry. I just-"
"Duo, I get the point. But I just want to tell you, both of you, don't worry about me. Trust
me. Just forget me and move on with the knowledge of this happening forgotten. Please. That's
all I ask. After undergoing all this, it's all I'm asking."
"Okay," Heero states and walks out of the room.
"I'll do it, Usagi," Duo pledges. "Anything for you. You deserve everything from me after
what I put you through. Goodbye. Usagi." He walks out leaving the heartless Usagi alone in the
room.
'Well, that's one thing dealt with. Tomorrow, I deal with the assembly.'
Usagi didn't do much that day. She mainly hung around in her room until it was time for
bed. Laying in bed, she was as mentally prepared to face the assembly tomorrow as was possible.
~~~~~~~~
Usagi didn't fell much like doing her chores that morning. Who would after going
through what she went through? Besides, after tonight it wouldn't matter.
Her afternoon up to 2pm was spent with her horse. Talking, riding and brushing her.
Usagi left her horse with a goodbye and changed into fresh clothes before running to the
assembly room in the castle.
She got there a little early, about 1:45pm. After choosing her seat, she nervously sat. She
couldn't wait to find out how this would all go down.
The Assembly is the group of people who judge criminals and convict them. They're
supposedly fair and just. Well, she'd figure that one out for herself. But as soon as the Head of
the Assembly, Karmain, sat at the top of the long table, and she made eye contact with him, she
knew the results of the trial. They wouldn't be fair and just, the things they were meant and told
to be. She would be judged guilty and would be executed for it. She knew the penalization for
treason, everyone did. But what everyone did not know was that she was an innocent. An
innocent who was suffering from a practical joke.
The Head off the Assembly glared at Usagi. When he made eye contact with her, he
glared even more. Then he smirked. He couldn't quite read the emotion in her eyes, but he could
see fear. All the more reason to smirk.
"Good afternoon, Assembly members," he spoke. "We are meeting today to discuss
Usagi Daimen and the crimes she has committed. After the discussion we will adjourn, and
reassemble tomorrow to discuss her punishment. I would like to begin by . . ."
For the next three hours, Usagi sat and listened to them debate about her like she didn'tt
exist. They spoke of all she did and why it was treasonous. Looked over the evidence. Spoke of
her personality and how it would match with what she was accused off. They went over
everything needed to decide what her sentence would be. Rarely did they speak to her. When
they did, it was only asking a little about what she would do during her day and the ways she
would most spent her time. She didn't mind not being asked anything important. She already
knew that whatever she did to show them she was innocent, they would be blinded by their
personal opinions. She knew not to waste energy trying to change something that was so firmly
planted in their minds.
When it finally finished, all the members were dismissed along with Usagi. As she was
walking toward the door, Karmain, the Head, caught up to her shouting for her to wait.
Usagi mentally groaned and replied, "Did you need something?"
"I just wanted to remind you that we're meeting tomorrow at the same time. I'll see you
then." That last part he said in a dark tone with a smirk playing on his lips. She could see an evil
look in his eye. From what she gathered, he liked to govern peoples lives, and his favorite part
off doing so was torturing them. She did not like this man. Not one bit. But he's just another
thing she wouldn't have to worry about after tonight.
~~~~~~~~~
Back in her room, she thought over her plans. There was only one way to free herself
from being executed. She planned to wipe herself out of existence to the best off her ability.
She'd keep all her needed items and sell the rest. With that money, she would by any supplies
she needed in order to leave and survive. Her room would be left completely empty. Even the
furniture would be gone.
So that's what she did. She packed her needed items and brought the rest to the market in
a separate bag. All of it was quickly sold. The money was spent on other items she needed to
bring with her. She returned to her room with her purchased items in the bag she had brought
with her.
At night she stored her game she had caught for the Hunt in a box, and left for the
stables. She muffled her horse's hooves by wrapping them up with sheets, and to help prevent
leaving distinguishable prints, she attached a layer of hay to the bottom. Hopefully that would
work. It would mean bad things if she was caught. "So lets not let that happen, girl," she
whispered to her horse.
One more thing had to be accomplished before she could leave and forget about this life.
She needed to write Makoto a note. She knew she would break Makoto's heart with what she
was going to say, but it had to be done.
Dear Mako-chan,
I'm leaving. I'm going far away to save my life. They're accusing me of treason
and I know I'll be executed. So I must leave. My best friend, I need you to do one thing for me.
Forget me. Forgive me for having to do this to you, for having to kill our friendship, and then
forget me. Let me be a void in your memory. Nothing. Move on with your life and find the
perfect guy you always wanted and if he's worthy of you then marry him. I want you to be happy
and in order to be so, you MUST forget me. Please forget me! Please Mako-chan!!
I'll miss you, my friend who saved my first broken heart.
With Love,
Usagi
Tears fell as she sealed the envelope and wrote Makoto Cove on the front. As much as
she hated doing this, she knew it had to be done. Fate deemed it and in a way so did she.
Mounting Fairylight, she rode to Makoto's and let the envelope fall from her hands and come to
a rest on the door step.
"Goodbye," she softly breathed with tears in her eyes. 'Goodbye, Heero.'
With one last remorseful look at the house, she turned around and rode off into the night,
never once looking back.
~~~~~~~~~
After feeling like she rode far enough away from civilization to not worry about getting
caught, she unmounted and took off the hay and sheets. She heard a rustle but didn't worry about
it. When it was night and a breeze present blowing through the leaves, everything seemed to
rustle. She packed the sheets into her saddlebag and was tying it closed, that is, until a deep
voice echoed through the night air and reached her ears.
"Usagi."*
