Chapter 5: Loss of an Angel
"May I inqure how you got here?" Yu-Gi finally asked after a few minutes of scilence.
"I got a new Sailor outfit that comes with wings at no extra charge." I joked.
"You and your shopping habits." We both laughed.
Shortly after that I dropped my head and stopped.
"What is it?" Yu-Gi asked with concern.
"How's Adrian?"
"When we were seperated he became even weaker. Donna decided to carry Adrian all the way to the cemetary. He passed out once. Luckly Donna is strong. I offered to carry him, but she refused." Yu-Gi explained.
I dropped to my knees.
"Ashleigh?"
"It's going to happen again."
"What's going to happen?" He was on his knees right next to me and had his arm around me.
"It's like Yami said except i'm going to be the one to die this time." I covered my face crying.
"Ashleigh... How did you find out about Yami?"
"When I woke up the second time and confesed that I loved you, the Millennium puzzle appered. Everyone disappered except you and me. I looked up at you and you were him. He told me of our former lives and what happened before you met me. I hate learning about deaths even when it was me. My first night wtih someone I know I love and loves me back and i'm going to be gone in the morning." I sobbed.
Yu-Gi moved in front of me and put his hands on my sholders. I knew he was there and wanted to look up at him, but I couldn't. He took my chin with his right hand and gently made me look at him. He took his free hand and put it on my cheeck and rubbed away the tears. He looked down on me and wispered, "Not if I can help it."
I just stared up at him with a look of confusion and wispered, "What?"
"You're not going to leave me this soon, or ever if i can help it. I didn't wait three years for you to just have you taken away in one night. I won't let you be taken away from me or any of your friends even if it kills me. I love you to much to lose you now. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to make us lose you, I promise." He told me as he caressed my cheek.
"Yu-Gi.....You were always a ray of sunshine in my life. That is one reason why I love you." I chuckled softly.
I embrassed him in a hug before he pushed me away and said, "I have something for you."
He rummaged through his pocket for a minute.
"Close your eyes. And no peeking little miss sneak." He said playfuly.
"Oui mon capitan." I laughed and closed my eyes.
He took my left hand and put something on my ring finger.
"Ok you can open them now."
I looked at my hand and gasped. I looked up at him in shock.
"What....where...how did you get something as beautiful as this?" I stuttered.
"It was my mother's. She gave it to me before she died when I was 6. My Grandpa kept it till I was old enough to take care of it. My Mom told me to give it to the special girl that my heart went to." He smiled at me.
"But I....I can't take it. It's all you have left of her."
"No it's not. You remind me of her. You're just as sweet and caring as her and I can see the strength that she had in her on her last day in you." He put his forehead on mine, looked into my eyes and smiled.
"Are you two coming?" A voice sounded off in the distance.
We both turned our heads and smiled at them. " Yes we're coming." I told her.
We allwalked over to where Casey, Tea, and Adrian were resting. I looked at my watche and exclaimed, "O'shit. It's already 5am. We only have 45mins till dawn!"
"We'll never make it in time..." Amy started.
"I can take him and be there with time to spare. I would say use the teleport, but 3 scouts wouldn't beable to carry 4 other people." I told them.
"How do you expect to do that? The cemetary is on the other side of town." Donna said franticlly.
"Yea Ashleigh? How? When we try to get on a bus or in a car a barrier forms."
"O' I have my ways." I smiled. "SILVER MOON CRYSTAL POWER!"
Donna and Amy were awstruck at the sight of my new outfit.
"Did you go shopping without me Ashleigh?" Donna asked with sarcasim.
"No I didn't Donna. This is my new Sailor form, Eturnal Sailor Moon. Give me Adrian." I explained.
They handed me Adrian and I spread my wings and took off.
"Be carful Sailor Moon!!!" Tea yelled.
"I'll be fine. Yu-Gi, keep ypor promise!!" I yelled and flew out of sight.
"Don't worry.." He yelled hen wispered, "I will."
"If we'er going to make it there on time we'd better get going." Casey inturupted a few moments of silence.
They ran of in the direction I flew off in.

"What could be keeping them?" Allison asked frustrated
"Look!! There's Ashleigh!" Joey yelled and pointed out at me and Adrian.
I landed and gave Adrian to Joey. I powered down then we started waling to find where Sidius wanted us. We fund where he wanted us when we saw a figure that looked like him. Joey put Adrian where he needed to be and andjust stood there for a few minutes.
Ashley came up behinde me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you going to be ok?" She asked gentlly.
"I'll be fine. I just wan't some time to think. This is happening way to fast. I'm not supposed to die at 19 am I? I don't want to return home in a casket. Ashley, do me a favor." I answerd.
"Sure anything." She smiled at me.
"Tell Yu-Gi thank you for me. He has done alot for me ever since I moved. Tell him I will always be with him no matter what." I started crying.
"Ashleigh don't talk like that. Your not going to go anywhere. Your going to be fine. I don't want to lose one of my best friends. Honestly, I love you like a sister. When I need to someone to talk to about my problems or other things you were there. Your not going anywhere. I think I speak for all of the scouts when I say that you're the gretest thing on Earth." Ashley told me and she even started crying.
"Let's get tis done ok?" I sobbed.
I walked over to where I was supposed to be and laid down. Sidius's voice told me to take his hand, so I did. As soon as I took his hand my life started to leave me. My life wnt by in a flash till it came to the pat with all the scouts and Yu-Gi. I laid there crying. In 5 min the process was over. Sidius's voice sounded that I will ive till dawn.
Adrian woke up to find that he was alive, but when he looked around and saw my body laying there he gasped out, "Ashleigh...no."
Yu-Gi and the others appered after tha prosses was over. Allison was on her knees and the rest were hunchedover.
"What's going on?" Casey asked.
Joey, Tristen, and Ashley turned around with tears in their eyes. Asley looked into Yu-Gi's eyes and wispered, "She's gone."
"What?! Ashleigh? ASHLEIGH!! NO COME BACK!" Yu-Gi yelled and ran by everyone to me. "Ashleigh no. Don't go. If you had waited longer I could have been here to help you. Why?" He sobbed.
I used what remained of my strength and lifted my hand up to his face and opened my eyes. Everything was blurry due to the water in my eyes and the fact that I was living on a thred of life.
"Yu-Gi...i'll always be with you and I love y-y-you." My hand fell to my side and my eyes closed.
"Ashleigh? Ashleigh wake up. Wake up dammit!" He stood there shaking me.
On the flat where my dead lifeless body lay, it wrote, "Here lays Ashleigh Berry June 23, 1987- June 23, 2006"
