The Clash

Last time

'She never did come back. I hope she's okay.' Were his last thoughts as he fell into a restless sleep with a certain blonde blue-eyed girl in mind. Thinking about her.

Part nine

Usagi's room

Usagi tossed and turned all night. Her poor little mind would give her no rest,

'Should I tell him? I mean what's the worst that could happen? He would laugh in my face and I'd crumble to the ground and die. And the best that could happen? He'd tell me he felt the same way but we could never be together because he is betrothed to my best friend. Both sides pretty much... what's the word I am looking for... SUCKS ON ICE! Yep but least I'd know how he felt about me. I've gone through more pain, just think of how you had died in the Silver Millennium. But Haruka said she would want to know. Alright I have made up my mind tomorrow after dinner' That was her last thought as the sun peeked out from behind the Earth she had finally fallen asleep with visions of unconfessed love in her head.

Hallway outside senshi's quarters

"Mmmmm... What time is it?" Makoto grumbled after getting a very rude wake up of a thump on the door. She had stepped into the hall to see what was going on.

"I don't know but I still need my beauty sleep," Minako whined.

""That's for sure," Rei muttered under her breath.

"Guuuuyss not now it's to early." An uncharacteristical whine erupted for Ami. This earned quite a few stares.

"Ami you just reminded me of Odango." Mamoru said astounded

*cough* Every one looked in the direction the noise had come. There was Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus, and Sailor Pluto looking at them annoyed.

"Are you guys coming or what?" Uranus growled.

"Coming where?" Rei asked suspiciously. She still wasn't sure if she could trust them. She kept getting mixed vibes from them.

"To breakfast we have a long day of training in store for you. Follow me." And with that the inner senshi followed the outer senshi to breakfast along with one cape boy. But one legendary warrior was conspicuously absent.

In the dinning hall an uncomfortable silent stretched out as they were sat in front of a large marble table with the most delicious food it would make anyone's mouth water.

"Is this all for us?" Ami asked looking at the huge feast before her and it was just breakfast.

"Yes." Pluto stated with out a glance and began filling her plate. The others followed suit.

"Don't worry Ames with the human vacuum Odango there will be nothing but a few crumbs left if that." But the sound of the 'vacuum' inhaling food was absent.

Makoto giggled nervously, " Where is Usa? She would never miss a meal. Were her injures that bad?" Makoto felt overwhelmed with guilt knowing Usagi had gotten injured to save her.

"She is still asleep. Usa was having problems sleeping last night her light didn't go of until five this morning." Uranus stated with out even looking up.

"And what were you doing out side her room that early this morning?" Neptune asked coldly. The inner senshi were surprised at her coldness to her teammate. But Tuxedo mask had similar thoughts running through his mind.

'Why the HELL would she be outside Usagi's room this morning.' Uranus smiled enchantingly. She was MOCKING them.

"If you must know I was worried because she was injured yesterday. Reeemeeeemmbbeerrr," Uranus said teasingly, " Neptune don't tell me you are jealous." And she said in mock amazement. " I cannot believe Neptune would be jealous of little Usagi I mean you are a world famous violinist with millions of fans."

*SLAMMM* Neptune's fist had slammed down on the table. The rest of the senshi and Tuxedo mask sat shocked by what was transpiring between the two.

"I AM NOT JEALOUS!" She screamed. Then replied in a cold voice. " I was just worried for her well being." Haruka's eyes turned to ice.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" She all but spat in her face.

"You know exactly what it means."

"Why you little... I don't have to take this. I am going to go check on Usagi. Goodbye!" And with that she turned on her heel and out the door she went. Michiru followed shortly. When the senshi finally recovered their vocal cords they all giggled nervously.

"Hehehe... Um what was that about?"

"You don't want to know," Setsuna aka Pluto replied. Silence stretched out for a couple of seconds.

"I wanna know." Minako and Makoto cried simultaneously. Pluto sighed.

"All right I will...." Pluto was cut of by a small serene voice.

"Sets you don't have a right to tell them because they don't even know themselves." Usagi was pale and her eyes were puffy from lack of sleep and a 'little' crying. She wore a long white button up shirt for a sleeping gown. She continued into the room and sat down next to Setsuna. The people in the room were stunned. They had never seen her so pale and she wasn't her bouncy self like usual.

"Usagi are you okay? Shouldn't you be in bed?" Makoto asked worriedly. The others shook their heads in agreement.

" I'm fine just a little sore but how could I sleep with all the smells of this wonderful food drifting in my room. Now let's eat!" She took her fork and began piling on food onto her plate. This was a great relief to the others.

"At least she still has her appetite." Rei sighed but she had spoke to soon. As Usagi started to raise the first bite to her mouth she was over come by nausea and fell over into Setsuna lap.

"Usagi are you okay?" Pluto said frantically.

"I'm fine just a little woozy. Could you take me back to my room so I can rest before we train to day?"

"Uh-uh no way you are training to day."

"But..."

"Didn't Haruka already go through this with you?" Receiving silence for an affirmative she hoisted Usagi into her arms and carried out of the room. The inner senshi's worries grew greater seeing Usagi faint at breakfast.

"I hope she's okay." Ami stated. All shook their heads in agreement. Makoto guilt went sky high then,

'It's all my fault if she hadn't pushed me out of the way she would be fine right now.' And as always similar thoughts were running through Mamoru's mind.

'If only I had gotten there sooner she would have been safe.' Makoto, Minako, Ami, Rei and Mamoru ate the rest of breakfast in silence.

*******************************

"All right ladies. Your training begins today. If you want to beat Beryl you have to make these days up here count do you understand me?" Sailor Pluto asked the now transformed scouts.

"..." The scouts were to busy staring at Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus to even acknowledge what Pluto had said. Neptune and Uranus were taking turns sticking their tongues out at each other and giving the other one the silent treatment. Seriously they were behaving like five-year-olds. It was pathetic really. Pluto finally gave up trying to be polite and slapped each of them across the head.

"All right 'children' are you going to behave now? We 'have' to train them NOW. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" Anyone with have a brain could see Pluto was not in a tolerant mood this morning.

"Yes 'mam." Both said simultaneously while glaring at each other.

"Now as I was 'saying' we start your training today. We are going to work on getting your agility strength and alertness up. And I am telling you that this will be the hardest thing you have ever done in this life Kay? Okay. Follow me." Minako and Ami had worried looks on their faces and Makoto and Rei shot each other incredulous glances and Mamoru... well Mamoru just wasn't paying attention. But they learned later on that Pluto was right about it being the hardest thing they had ever done.

*************

Outside training hall....

Usagi sat outside listening to her friends wishing she could be in there with them. When she was fighting or training she didn't have to think about the pain in her heart.

"No Faster. Mercury YOU HAVE TO MOVE FASTER ON YOUR FEET!" Pluto's voice was heard yelling.

"I'm trying." She heard Ami's meek voice come through.

"Well you have to try harder or you and the whole universe will be dead."

"Yes mam."

"You to have to be more agile. You can't trip in the middle of battle. Mars, Venus you need to do it with more agility and strength."

"I'm sorry." Minako voice was barely heard.

"Well I'm not. Why are we listening to her anyways?"

"Because I have already been trained in these areas."

"Jupiter good job but you need to be more alert we going to try the excercise again and hopefully you and Cape Boy over there gets it right you need to be able to sense the enemy. You understand?"

"Got it!" Jupiter cried. Usagi smiled to herself. Makoto always like the chance to get stronger. Usa her Tuxedo mask grumble.

"Haruka's being awful hard on him," she whispered to herself, "I'll have to talk to her about that tonight." The shouts and the voices continued on for hours and when they had finally stopped the inner scouts and Tuxie were panting.

"This was just day one so I suggest after you eat dinner you go straight to bed but you can stay up and look around if you chose."

'You all are making great progress I am proud of you. Tomorrow Sailor Moon will join you. Now I suggest you get some rest.' The Queen's voice said. The rest of the day continued with few incidents but it wasn't until after dinner that the problems would really start.

**********************

The celestial moon gardens

Usagi sat outside looking at the stars. She made no attempt to acknowledge the presence behind her.

"Beautiful site isn't?" Usagi asked finally letting Mamoru know she knew he was there.

"Hehehe... Yeah it is I've never seen anything like it. I have a question though. How did you know I was there?" Mamou said nervously like a little kid who got his hand caught in the cookie jar. Usagi shot him a sideways glance and smiled. Mamoru's breath caught.

"It's part of your training to sense and enemy's presence."

"Really? So we will learn how to do that?"

"Hopefully." They sat in silence for the next few minutes just enjoying the view. Usagi's mind was made up. Tonight was going to be the night.

"Mamoru I have something to tell you is that okay?"

"Yeah of course." Mamoru looked at her but she kept her eyes averted.

"Do you promise not to laugh." Mamoru realized that what every she had to say was very important to her. His eyes narrowed at her.

"I promise."

"Don't interrupt me tell I'm finished okay." He nodded his head in affirmative. " Okay here it goes. Mamoru I've been in love with you since the first time I saw you and I tried everything to get your attention. That's why I always got so angry when you teased me it was just my way of getting more attention. And that was when I didn't know Minako was the princess and after I found that out I wasn't going to tell you but Haruka came up with a plan to see if you liked me that way so we tried to make you jealous but apparently that didn't work so I really didn't want to tell you but my heart started to hurt so much and when I told Haruka about she said if she were you she would want to know so I finally made up my mind." She stopped for a moment to take a long breath. She slowly turned her eyes to him. "I know you can never love me because you are engaged to Minako... but if there was no Silver Millennium and no princess and we were just regular people do you think you could ever feel the same way?" Her eyes shone with tears and were a little hope fully as she waited for Mamoru's reply.
