^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^

***Riiiiiiing Riiiiiiing*** [[answering machine]] You've reached Mamoru Chiba. . .First of all, I don't want to buy anything. . .that said, I can't get to the phone to take your call, so if you need to get ahold of me, leave a message and I will call you back whenever I find a convenient time. **Beep**

"Mamoru. . .Mamoru come on pick up!" The voice sighed. "Well it's me Raye. . .I know you're down right now. . .but you musn't lose hope! We WILL find her Mamoru. . .count on it. . .but until then quit moping around and come out and have lunch with the girls and myself. Mamoru? Pick up please? MAMORU!!!!!!!!"

The voice continued on yelling as Mamoru sat on the couch staring at the floor as if it were the most interesting thing in the world to him. He sighed and wiped furiously at the tears that were streaming down his face. 'Without her I have nothing. . .' he thought to himself as he went to his desk and pulled something from the drawer.

Raye sighed and hung up the phone before turning to the other 3 girls in the room.

"Anything?" Ami asked.

Raye shook her head. "He still won't answer."

"I don't blame him," Minako said softly.

"Ya, I mean he just lost his soul mate ya'll let's just be patient." Makoto chimed in.

"Does he think this is easy on any of us?" Raye cried out angrily.

"But. . ." Makoto replied softly, "she. . .was all he felt he had."

This revelation shut up Raye and she nodded solemnly. "I'm going to go try and call him again." Raye said retreating once again to call Mamoru.

"She's worried about Mamoru even more so than any of us." Minako stated quietly.

"What makes you think so?" Makoto asked.

"Well for one, it's obvious, and two. . .the phone isn't in her room which is the one that she just went into." Minako said.

"Oh ya." Makoto replied.

Ami didn't say anything, just opened up her computer and started typing away furiously on the keys even though she knew it would do nothing. She just wanted something to do.

Raye entered the room then. "I'm going over to his apartment." She announced. The other girls stood. "Alone." Raye snapped. The girls sat back down nodding and watched Raye walk out the door.

^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^



Mamoru sat staring at the door boredly. Then his gaze fell and looked at the silvery shining weapon in his hand. He couldn't do it. . .he HAD to end it. . .so he could be with his love. Nothing could stop him now.

Raye knocked on the door. "MAMORU!" she shouted angrily. "COME OUT!"

Mamoru jumped at the intrusion. He didn't reply and barely acknowledged that there was anyone out there. He cocked the gun and put it to his temple crying softly.

"MAMO-ru. . ." Raye's voice cracked at the end, obviously hearing the gun cock. "Please Mamoru, answer the door?"

Mamoru still didn't answer although a tear went down his cheek. He turned as he heard a key in the lock. 'Oh no!' he thought. 'I forgot I gave her an extra key!' Mamoru shrugged and turned away from the door as it opened. He didn't care. She could see if she wanted to.

Raye walked into Mamoru's apartment and saw him on the couch. With short, quick steps, Raye approached the futon in the living room. She gasped as she saw the gun he held to his head. Growling softly and in a heated voice Raye said, "Do you think you're better than us?"

This was the last thing he expected and his gaze shot to Raye's tearstained face. He looked at her confused. Raye continued.

"Do you think that it's harder on yOU JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE HER *FUTURE* *HUSBAND?*" Raye's words turned to screams as she accentuated every syllable in every word. "*WELL* *WE* *ALL* *LOVED* *HER* *JUST* *AS* *MUCH* *AS* *YOU* *DID* *SO* *STOP* *BEING* **SUCH** **A** **DICK** **HEAD** **AND** ***STOP*** ***SHUTTING*** ***US*** ***OUT*** ***SO*** ***WE*** ***FEEL*** *A* *LITTLE* *BIT* *BETTER* THAT WE DIDN'T LOSE *TWO* FRIENDS ONLY ONE!!" Raye was now out of bed and collapsed to the floor in a heap of sobs.

Mamoru stared at her transfixed before dropping the gun, and sinking to the floor next to Raye and taking the raven haired girl into his arms and holding her while she cried. It was a little while before he realized that he was crying too. Mamoru's silent cries turned into loud sobs as he rocked Raye back and forth clinging to her saying "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" over and over again.

After about 10 minutes of crying together, the two friends parted and smiled. "Thank you." Mamoru said softly.

"You're welcome Mamoru. . .someone had to pull your head out of your ass." Raye quipped.

"I'm sorry I've been ignoring you. . .*sigh* it was. . .is hard to believe that I will never see her again. . ."

"I know. . .but we're all here for you Mamoru and we love you and I've NEVER been more scared in my life than I was seeing you with the gun to your head. . ." Raye shuddered.

"I'm sorry Raye, I don't know what got into me. . .I am ASHAMED at myself Raye. . .and I SWEAR I won't ever get that close again!"

"Good, because Usagi won't want to come home to a dead boyfriend." Raye replied.

"If she comes home. . ." Mamoru muttered.

Raye was just about to respond when her communicator went off. Raye opened it. "Yes?"

"RAYE!" the voice shouted excitedly the softened. "Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine," Raye replied, "what's up Ami?"

"WE FOUND HER! WE FOUND OUT WHERE SHE IS!"
