If Tomorrow Never Comes
By Lady Aiko
Chapter One
Callee lowered the sheet music in front of her. "Why do you
have to go?" she asked handing her music to Darlene who
quickly fled the room.
"Because this conference at Harvard University is important-"
Darryl began.
"And the dark vibes aren't?"
"I'll only be two weeks."
"It only takes five minutes to attack, Darryl, you know that."
Darryl walked towards his girlfriend and pulled her into his
arms.
"You know that I wont let any harm come to you or the others."
"I know but..."
"Listen Callee, I know there is danger approaching but I feel
like something there is important. I can't help but feel like
there's something there that will help us."
"Are you serious?"
"Would I lie to you about this?"
Callee thought about this for a moment. Then she reached up
and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Fine, you can go," Callee murmured as Darryl guided her
towards the love seat, while kissing down Callee's neck.
***
Usagi Tsukino, a young seventeen-year-old blonde woman, clung
helplessly to her boyfriend Mamoru Chiba as they pushed
through the crowds of people at the Tokyo airport in Japan
heading towards customs office. Usagi's boyfriend, Mamoru, had
been one of the select few people to be chosen to attend a
conference on biochemical research at Harvard University in
the U.S.A. Despite the fact that she was very proud of him,
she hated it whenever he had to leave.
"Usako..." Mamoru began, wrapping his arms around her when
they stopped in front of the customs gate.
Usagi frowned lightly but pushed the expression off her face.
"Mamo-chan have fun at his conference. Take care of yourself
and study hard."
Mamoru cradled Usagi's cheek in his palm rubbing away her
tears with his thumb.
"Nothing will happen like last time Usako." Mamoru assured
her, remembering back to last time he had headed for Harvard
when Galaxia had attacked his plane.
"Its not that Mamo-chan. Its just, I have been getting some
bad vibes from this."
Mamoru leaned forwards and softly brushed her lips with his
own.
"Don't worry Odango, I'll be back in two weeks. And I'll call
you when I get there."
Usagi's expression softened lightly. She kissed him lightly
again as he turned to walk away.
"I love you Mamo-chan," Usagi called after him.
Mamoru smiled. Every time Usagi said that he felt like he was
home. Since he was a child when his parents died Mamoru had
felt alone. But Usagi's love was the light in the darkness,
the home amongst the void. It felt so pure, so true. It almost
ashamed him, afraid that he could never do for her what she
did for her. But he loved her with everything that he had,
everything that he was and Usagi seemed more than just content
with it.
"I love you too, Usako."
***
Mamoru glanced around the conference room, his book bag
clasped in his hands. Looking around the large classroom with
the seats raised higher with every row like an auditorium,
Mamoru couldn't see any empty seats. Sighing he walked up and
down the stairs of the large room, trying to find a seat.
Finally Mamoru laid his eyes on a seat in the back row.
Politely he looked at the man at the edge of the row.
"Is this seat taken?" he asked motioning towards the seat
beside him.
The man looked up at him and smiled. His dark blue eyes were
shining with politeness and his raven black hair waved
lightly.
"Nope. Sit down if you like."
Uncomfortably, Mamoru pushed past the man and sat down next to
him, sprawling out his binder across the pull out tabletop.
Quickly he organized his pens and binder and sat intently
awaiting the beginning of the lecture.
"The lecture doesn't start for fifteen minutes you know," the
man beside Mamoru commented, looking at how intently Mamoru
was sitting.
"I know," he commented back.
"Your from Japan aren't you?"
Mamoru looked over at the man, shrugged and replied politely.
"Yes,"
"Thought so. Your English is pretty good you know,"
"Thanks," he answered not quite knowing what to say.
"So what's your name?"
"Mamoru Chiba, yours?"
The man's eyes grew wide. "Mamoru Chiba?"
"Yup,"
The man looked down at his shoes for a moment, almost
contemplating what Mamoru had said.
"That surprising?" Mamoru asked after a moment.
Another long pause crept in then finally the man responded.
"My name's Darryl and that's all you need to know."
***
Darryl lay silently upon his hotel room bed, his eyes focused
on the ceiling. It seemed like forever since he had moved and
his thoughts had roamed onto something other than Mamoru
Chiba.
Darryl didn't know what to do. This was his brother, his
little brother who he hadn't seen in years. Could this be real
or was it just a dream?
Finally, Darryl moved and reached over towards his cell phone
that was charging beside his bed. Slowly he dialed Callee's
cell phone and awaited an answer.
"Hey Callee, its me. I think you should come down here right
away."
***
Callee leaned silently over Darryl's shoulder looking towards
the unsuspecting Mamoru.
"Sure looks like you," she concluded.
"No... really?" Darryl asked sarcastically pushing around the
corner, watching as Mamoru continued walking.
"Listen, Darryl," Callee emphasized his name, sending shivers
down Darryl's spine, "just because we're spying on him doesn't
mean you have to get crabby."
Darryl shot Callee a look and she shrugged. "Just trying to
maintain a sense of authority," she concluded, pushing past
him.
"Uh, huh," Darryl responded, peering around the corner of a
fruit stand.
Callee sighed heavily, watching what Darryl was doing. Darryl
raised an eyebrow quizzically at her.
"What?"
"Oh nothing,"
"Nothing my ass! What is it?"
"Only the fact that you suck at spying and that Mamoru has
spotted you."
"What? No he hasn't," Darryl turned his head back to look at
Mamoru who was intently looking at a shop window as he walked.
"See?"
"Uh huh," Callee rolled her eyes and kept following him.
After about ten minutes Mamoru turned into an alley behind a
restaurant. Darryl looked quizzically over at Callee who
shrugged back at him.
"Its a trap,"
"No it isn't,"
Callee rolled her eyes again. "Then follow him and find out."
Darryl slowly and cautiously stalked into the alley and looked
around. All that he could see was a dark ladder up to a
balcony and a brick wall ahead of them.
"Where is he?" Darryl asked, darting his eyes around him.
"Above you," Callee answered.
"What?"
"Above you,"
Too late, Darryl had no time to respond. Mamoru had wasted no
time jumping over the balcony landing swiftly on top of
Darryl, pinning him to the ground and holding him to the
ground.
"Hey Mamoru, how's it hanging?" Darryl grunted out, trying to
get free.
Mamoru grasped a hold of Darryl's right arm pulling it roughly
back towards him while pushing his weight into his knee that
was positioned in the middle of Darryl's back.
"I'll take that as a good," Darryl grunted out.
Callee laughed lightly, walking around Darryl and knelt down
near his head so she was eyelevel with Mamoru. "Told ya so,"
she remarked to Darryl.
Darryl just grumbled. He seemed more agitated by the fact that
Callee had been right versus his current predicament.
"Who are you two, really?" Mamoru asked demandingly. "And why
are you following me?"
Callee smiled and leaned over resting her hand on Mamoru's
shoulder.
"My name is Callee Walters and the man you're kneeing in the
back is Darryl Chiba."
Mamoru's eyes grew wide with shock, his second question
forgotten. Chiba? How could this be? Without really thinking
what he was doing, Mamoru let go of Darryl, who rolled away
from him and sat up, stretching out his back and neck but
seemed mostly unharmed.
"I think you should come back to our hotel with us,"
Mamoru merely nodded dumb founded and got up, following Callee
and Darryl out onto the street.
***
"I don't know if I should believe you," Mamoru concluded
strongly, "I don't remember any of this."
"You have to Mamoru!" Darryl pleaded. "Our memories of the
moon kingdom, our semblance, our pasts! We're kin, the same
blood runs through our veins! We are brothers!"
"You two could be sent from the Negaverse!"
Darryl shot upright and towards Mamoru as Mamoru did the same.
"Cool it boys!" Callee cried, stepping in between them.
"Sheesh, men, always doing things the hard way. Alright Darryl
you've tried to convince him, now its my turn."
Darryl stepped back and away from them, stepping behind the
very quizzical and suspicious Mamoru. When he was positioned
behind Mamoru, Callee placed her hand on his forehead.
"What are you doing?"
"Shhhhh Mamoru," Callee whispered. "Soon you'll be back to
normal."
Mamoru lowered his defenses for a moment and Callee took
advantage of it.
"Nakariska nalain sharika bleign robboto kriskane newlar."
A small light emanated from Callee's hand.
"Rashendo newlar zarinska nalain, shalanda! Endymion!"
Callee completed her spell and all went silent. It felt to
Mamoru like everything in the world had stopped. He could feel
himself be blown back a few feet and he seemed to be suspended
there, Callee's hand was still suspended in front of her and
he could see Darryl out of the corner of his eye going to
catch him. It all happened so slowly although he knew it had
taken less than a second.
Then Mamoru blinked and there was nothing.
End of Chapter One
What do you think? Sorry, cliffhanger! Now what did Callee do
to Mamoru and what's going to happen to him? What about the
Senshi? And what about this mysterious power Callee seems
worried about? Fine out more next chapter, same bat website,
