She closed her eyes and drew in her breath. The knife came down quicker.
But, of course, right before it hit her stomach, she felt it pull out of her hand.
~*~ Now I couldn't just go kill off the main character now could I? Were you honestly expecting it?
Anyway, back on with it. ~*~
She didn't even open her eyes. She didn't have to to know who was in front of her. She leaned foreword crying, and felt strong arms embrace her. She cried on Seiya, who ran his fingers through her hair saying things like "Shh princess." and "it'll be alright.im here."
So, how did Seiya know? Simple. But we'll get to that later.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mamoru walked. No, not walked, ran. He ran as fast as two feet could carry anyone. Artemis was right, he DID know where she was. Where else could she be? Tokyo Tower was the one place that they had called "their place". It was a special thing for them to go together.
He got in and placed a hand against the wall, bracing himself.
"Gods Usako.please don't have done it yet..."
He pressed the button for the top viewing level. Sighing, he looked out the glass and remembered his first "real" conversation with her. Where he had promised not to call her mean names anymore. From that fateful day.
BING *
The doors opened.
Mamoru stepped out. What he said didn't please him very much.
Rage filled his body. He comes all the way up here to save her, and here she is crying the arms of another man?
Usagi sat up and looked Seiya in the eye, wiping a few tears away. He wiped a stray one away also.
"You going to be okay princess?"
Mamoru tightened his fists. He took a few steps foreword.
"Seiya" he said.
Seiya looked up, startled. Mamoru looked quite angry in his opinion. Usagi turned around and stared at him horrifically. She slumped behind Seiya, who held his arm out, as if to protect her. Seiya growled.
"Mamoru" he responded back.
Both of them cut their eyes so that they were both giving, and receiving, the biggest death glare anyone could ever imagine. Seiya clenched his fists also. Mamoru went red in the face, and it seemed as if steam were about to come out of his ears.
Mamoru took a step foreword. Usagi's heart raced.
Seiya frowned. "Don't turn this into something"
"I believe you're the one who came to my woman"
"YOUR woman?!"
"You heard me"
"Im sorry, you already took someone else and made her your woman."
"Shut up"
"Oh no, I think I'll go on. Did you know im the one who removed the knife FROM her hand, before it entered, from 'your woman' 's stomach?"
Mamoru stared, unable to speak.
"Yeah, that's right Mr. High and Mighty. I saved your woman's life. I DESERVE a thank you."
Mamoru growled at being shown up.
"AND, I believe that YOU are the one who made her want to kill herself. You. Are. A. Potential. Murderer. So, I saved your ass on that one. I made you not become a murderer. Again you should thank me."
Mamoru reached to his side for his sword and drew it.
Seiya raised an eyebrow. "So that's how you want to play Chiba? I could take you on any day. Just because you broke a promise to me. You promised you would take good care of her. And you didn't."
Mamoru slammed himself foreword with all the power he had. Seiya drew the knife Usagi tried to cut herself with, and prepared to defend himself.
Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Mamoru yelled "Bastard", and Seiya just made some kind of "aah!" noise. Usagi stood and forced herself in between the two men.
And the knife, sword, and Usagi's body connected. There was a faint "ugh", but she didn't fall. She stood there staring into Mamoru's eyes as blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.
"I.I'll always love you Mamo-chan."
Mamoru stood there for a moment, staring into her eyes as well.
What had he done.?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Seiya and Yaten sat drinking coffee. Seiya looked terrible. Sleep had failed him, since that day. Yaten patted him on the shoulder.
"It'll be okay.she'll be fine."
"How can you say that? Do you suddenly posses some ability to see the future?"
He stood up in a fit of anger and walked out of the room.
Following his instinct, or maybe habit, Seiya walked to his room.
The door clicked and he entered a room full of pink. Kind of like an energy. Usagi lay on a bed, and she was the one emitting this light. Or at least, that's what it seemed to be. He sighed and sat down next to her. The reason why he hadn't been sleeping was because he had been too busy giving her all of his excess energy, leaving him only the dregs on which to survive on. He prayed she would wake up someday.
He laid his head down next to her and silently cried. Why had he trusted Mamoru with this princess? What had he done to even deserve him to let him stay with her? Hadn't he always said Mamoru was a bad boyfriend anyway?
People should have listened to him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mamoru lied with his head on Rei's lap. She stroked his hair gently. He sighed.
"Do you still think of her?"
"No."
"You lie."
Mamoru reached a hand up and stroked Rei's cheek. She smiled down at him.
"You're the only one in my life now, Rei. I love you"
"But she's only been gone 6 months."
"It doesn't matter. Fate brought you and I together."
"But...Mamo-chan.she's dead..."
"It doesn't matter anymore"
Rei frowned.
"Are you sure?"
Mamoru leaned up and kissed her, lightly, but passionately. He pulled away and smiled at her.
"Im positive."
"Do you love me?"
"More than you know"
"How much then?"
"More than the sun envies the moon"
He had to say moon didn't he?
Rei frowned again and wrapped her fingers in his hair.
"Mamo-chan?"
"Yes love?"
"Promise you'll never do to me what you did to her?"
"Promise"
Mamoru sat up and leaned into her, pressing his chest against hers. They kissed passionately, and he laid her down. Her hands ran up and down his bare chest.
The sunset had its own soundtrack of moans that day. Just like so many other days.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Seiya opened his eyes and sat up. He had fallen asleep. Energy was so hard to keep when transferring it to another. He smiled at Usagi and squeezed her hand a little.
But then something went terribly wrong.
The pink glow stopped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
