Hey I hope everyone is having a merry Christmas. It's about six AM right now, so forgive me if this turns our really bad. Also in reviews you guys are asking me if Mamoru will win the contest. Do you really think I'm gonna tell you that, seriously? All I will tell you is that this is defiantly a U/M.

Music from My Heart

Neo Princess Moon

Song: Here with Me

Sung by: Michelle Branch



*It's been a long, long time*

*Since I looked in the mirror*

*I guess that I was blind*

*Now my reflection's getting clearer*

*Now that you're gone things will never be the same again*



Mamoru watched Usagi's new music video. It showed her in a room that resembled her room. She checked her reflection in the mirror, and then looked at a picture on her desk. It showed Usagi and a boy who looked like him. It resembled a picture that they had taken together and he guessed that she had meant it like that. She put the picture face down and walked out of the room.



*There's not a minuet that goes by*

*Every hour of every day*

*Your such a part of me*

*But I just pulled away*

*Well, I'm not the same girl*

*You used to know*

*I wish I said the words that never showed*



Usagi, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten sat on the floor of the apartment they shared. Letters were strewn about the room and Usagi strummed a tune on her guitar. This whole contest thing had become a huge pain in the butt. With a sigh Usagi threw down the music she had been playing.

"What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve. I mean seriously guys, let's go catch a pizza joint before they all close." Usagi said standing up and getting a coat.

"Sounds like a good plan to me. Let's go." Yaten agreed as she too pulled on a coat. (I know this will be confusing but I kinnda have to switch genders with the Star lights. Sorry)



*I know you had to go away*

*I died just a little, and I feel it now*

*You're the one I need*

*I believe that I would cry just a little*

*Just to have you back now here with me*

*Here with me*



Mamoru knew somehow that Usagi was singing to him. He watched as Usagi headed down the street and bumped into the same boy as the one in the picture. He seemed to push her away and she yelled back at him. They went separate ways and Usagi began to cry. Mamoru sighed. She way telling him what had happened from her point of view. Mamoru missed her. He couldn't feel her energy anymore. There link that they had shared had disintegrated, wasted away to nothing. He missed her, oh god how he missed her. It killed him not to know how she felt, when she was happy, when she was sad. Ever since he had known who he was he had shared that link with Usagi and now that he could only feel his own emotions he felt empty. It was like he was half the person he used to be now that Usagi was gone.



*You know that silence is loud*

*When all you here is your heart*

*And I wanted so badly just to be a part*

*Of something strong and true*

*But I was scared and left it all behind*



Usagi stared outside as the snow started to fall. She should have been happy. She used to love snow; then again there were a lot of things that she had stopped loving lately. It scared her to know that the link that she had shared with Mamoru for so long was gone. She had known him before she had ever met him. They had been destined to be together, but destiny had shifted and now she was destined to pine for him, while he forgot about her. She felt so empty, she had never really realized just how few emotions she felt since before she had always had her emotions multiplied by Mamoru's. She felt her eyes become wet at the thought that the link that had been built from love had gone dormant. They had been a one in a million couple, and now that love had been destroyed. They had been a miracle romance, so what happened? A tear fell from her eye, and then another. She wiped them away and prayed that her companions didn't notice.



*I know you had to go away*

*I died just a little, and I feel it now*

*You're the one I need*

*I believe that I would cry just a little*

*Just to have you back now*

*Here with me*

*Here with me*



Seiya watched Usagi. She had seemed upset about something recently. She didn't know why, but if she had to guess she would have said it had to do with the reincarnation of Prince Endymion. (Seiya doesn't know Mamoru's name) "Usagi?" Seiya asked tentatively.

"Yes." Usagi answered wiping away her tears.

"Usa-chan what's wrong? You've been so quiet lately. Please, why don't be just go back and meet Endymion's reincarnation? They way you will be able to confront him." Seiya said placing a hand gently on her friend's shoulder.

"No, I'm not ready. I have to wait until the time is right. I can't face him right now." Usagi replied with a sad shake of her head. "One day I'll come back. I promised him that I would, but for right now I just can't."

"Alright Usa-chan, but please try to cheer up." Yaten said pushing another piece of pizza toward Usagi. "And eat something. You haven't been eating much. A full grown girl should eat more than a single piece of pizza for dinner."

"Thanks Mom." Usagi replied a smile returning to her face. She did have to admit that Yaten was right. She hadn't been eating very much lately. She just hadn't been hungry, and she knew that her friends were worried about her. With a resigned sigh she took the pizza.



*And I'm asking*

*And I'm wanting you to come back to me*

*Please?*



"Mamoru-kun are you hungry? I made some soup if you want some." Makoto offered.

"I'm alright Mako-chan. Thanks for the offer." Mamoru replied. The girls had been staying in his apartment every weekend. Usually they stayed in his living room sleeping on the floor, sofa or any other place that looked remotely comfortable. He supposed that they were worried about him, but he really didn't need to be babied over.

"Mamoru-kun please just eat something. You skipped breakfast too. Please we're really worried about you." Minako said coming over and sitting in the chair across the table from Mamoru.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm just not hungry is all. I guess I don't feel well." Mamoru said pushing out of his chair and walking to his room.

"Matte!" Minako cried. Mamoru turned around to face her. "Are you going to send your songs to that contest?" Minako asked. Mamoru shook his head no.

"Your right. It's probably jinxed." He said turning to leave.

"Matte kudasai! Mamoru-kun watashi o kikimashitte kudasai!! (Wait Please! Mamoru listen to me!!) I think that you should send it in. You have nothing to lose. It just might work. You know Usagi. You know her better than anyone else. You know that she would never do something dishonest." Minako pleaded.

"I'll think about it." Mamoru said turning and retreating into his bedroom.



*I never will forget the look upon your face*

*How your turned around and left without a trace*

*But I understand that you did what you had to do*

*And I thank you*



Usagi sighed as she picked up what had to be the 400th song that day and played the first verse and the chorus. Tossing it into the reject pile she stood up. "I'm getting ready for bed. If I play one more song tonight I swear to god I'll scream." Usagi said. Her comment was greeted by various murmurs of goodnight. "If anyone wakes me Up I'll kill them. Good Night." Usagi said as she turned and left the room.

Making her way to the bath room Usagi decided that a nice warm bath was in order. She striped off her shirt and glanced up in the mirror. She hated to admit it, but she would have loved if Mamoru had been with her. She had noticed that as of recently lust was no longer a foreign feeling to her. She was changing, becoming more mature. She shouldn't be surprised, she was lucky it just lust, many people had lost their virginity by the age of 22. With a sigh she realized that when she did go back to Tokyo she wouldn't blame her old companions for not recognizing her. She had changed a lot, not just in emotions, but in appearance too. She had grown a good ten inches taller, now standing 5'9". Her body showed her transition form child to woman as she now had a perfect hourglass shape. Her face had become calmer and always seemed to have a nostalgic look upon it, as though she was always thinking of her past. One of the few things that remained the same was her hair style. If anything it had grown a bit longer, and now had a silvery tint to it, which made it shimmer as though it was always bathed in moonlight. She sighed again and pulled it up so that it wouldn't get wet. With that she drew the bath water slipped into the bath.



*I know you had to go away*

*I died just a little, and I feel it now*

*You're the one I need*

*I believe that I would cry just a little*

*Just to have you back now*

*Here with me*

*Here with me*



Mamoru turned over in his sleep clinging to his pillow and dreaming that he held his love. Rei walked in silently and took his book and reading glasses and put them on the nightstand. Turning out his reading lamp she gave him a sad smile. Usagi had better get back here soon. Their Prince was wasting away.



Ok that's it. Thanks for writing. Sorry the last chapter was so bad. I might repost it, but I figured that I might as well get this chapter out.

Yuki no Hi Onegaishimasu!!
