"What danger? Why wasn't I aware of it? I would've sensed any danger coming near. Why haven't I sensed it" Mamoru asked.
"You haven't sensed anything because you have been busy cheating on our princess." Haruka said coldly.
"What happened? We thought you loved her. What made you betray her trust? I thought we could trust you." Michiru asked softly, sadly.
Mamoru sat down on the couch and hid his face in his hands. He was qiuet for a while before he leaned back and looked at them in the eyes.
"I guess I was overwhelmed with the responsibility of being her protector. I thought that that was the only thing that binds me to her but now I know that I love her. I can't stand the thought of a life without her. Please help me."
He leaned further back on the couch and wiped a hand through his face.
"I don't know what to do. I think I lost any chance I have of patching things up with her."
He stood up and went to the balcony.
"God! I've never seen her look at a person with hate and her eyes were full of it when she looked at me."
"That is another problem that we have to face. The princess's heart is very vulnerable right now and it could easily be defeated and controlled by the dark forces. She is in pain." Setsuna said somberly.
"I don't care if I have to tie her up to make her listen but I will not let any one harm her. I will be her protector." Mamoru said.
"I'm afraid that cannot be, my prince. The princess has long since severed all the ties that binds you to her. Everything that was made out of that bond are now lost." Setsuna said.
Mamoru looked at her with dread. "Nothing? You mean."
"Yes, my prince, even the most precious creation has ceased to exist." Setsuna continued sadly.
"I'm afraid you will have to sit this one out Mamoru. The girls will never allow you to go near her. They have also chosen the perfect person to replace you." Haruka said mockingly.
"WHAT!!!!!!!" Mamoru shouted.
"I'm afraid it is true. The person who now acts as her protector is. Seiya." Michiru said softly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USAGI
"I know that this is a dream, but why does it feel real? Why do I keep having the same dream?"
She was in a very dark and desolate place, a setting of a great war. She walked like she did on the other dreams and found her friends lying dead by the terrain.
The scene changes and she was now dressed in her princess' gown, holding the moon crystal. She knew that she was about to use it to kill the person responsible for her friends' death but like the other dreams, she does not know who it is. Suddenly the thick fog engulfed her body.
Then out of nowhere, she heard someone whisper in her ears "Soon you will be mine. Soon."
Then the ground beneath her opened and she was swallowed screaming into the black hole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi woke up bathed in sweat. She sat down and rested her face in her hands.
"That dream again. Why do I keep dreaming that dream?" She whispered to herself. She looked around her room and saw Luna still asleep by her study table.
"At least I didn't wake her up. Silly dreams." She said to herself. She again lay down to try to sleep when her phone rang. She waited three rings before answering.
"Hello?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAMORU
It's been hours since the three outer planets left his apartment. He was trying to sleep but visions of Usagi kept popping in his head.
Finally, he gave up the mental struggle, picked up his phone and dialed her number hoping that she was still awake and willing to talk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello" Usagi said.
"Please don't hang up. Let me at least explain my side." Mamoru pleaded.
After a nerve racking moment of silence, Usagi sighed "I don't think we have anything more to say to each other."
"You have to let me explain. Usagi, there comes a time in every persons life when he loses his sight on what he really wants in his life. At first I thought that I didn't love you but when you saw me with - her. I suddenly realized that I was about to lose the best thing that happened in my whole life and I panicked. I said things that I don't mean and ." Mamoru stopped.
"And I want to make it up to you. I want to at least erase some of the hurt I've caused. Please give me another chance. That's all I need. A chance to prove to you that I do love you." He said gently.
"I don't think I can give you that chance just yet. I--I don't trust you anymore and. that is something that I would have to deal with before I could agree to anything." Usagi said quietly.
"Could you at least promise me that. Oh shit! I just want to tell you that. I love you. Please don't forget that. Even if you won't believe me, I can't live without you." Mamoru said softly.
Tears were running down her cheeks while he was speaking.
"Damn you!!!!!! Why did you have to ruin everything? Why did... I'm sorry, I have to go now." She sobbed and hanged up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAMORU
He slowly returned the phone to its cradle. It wasn't until then that he noticed that he was crying too. Slowly, he took the picture of him with Usagi and gently stroked the face of his love.
As tears continued to fall down his cheeks, he whispered "Gomen. Aishteru. My princess"
AU: Gomen people!!!! I am experiencing severe writer's block and I can't seem to finish my two stories. Neways, R and R people.
"What danger? Why wasn't I aware of it? I would've sensed any danger coming near. Why haven't I sensed it" Mamoru asked.
