Ok, a lil more on Mamoru…. We can't get enough of him, ne? *wink wink* ~Raven

Usagi smiled up at the sky. "Why, it's so pretty these days." She yawned and then stuck her tongue at it for being prettier than her. Then she trudged to Mamoru's cabin to drink some cocoa and have a nice nap. As she went up the steep slope, she slipped and fell down. Usagi started to cry, and then pulled herself up, trying to reach the cabin. Yet she kept falling and falling. When she finally reached the cabin, the first thing she did was have a nice hot bath. Then the put on her warm nightgown, and went to sleep.

Mamoru was still trying to find Rei. He knew she had been hurt badly by Chad, and he wanted to be there for her. He could remember the times that they dated, she was always hanging on his arm but they both enjoyed the other's company- ok, she was a little annoying, but it wasn't THAT bad. Now she was distant, silent, and wasn't even talking to him. "Rei… Rei…" Mamoru whispered. He could even remember when they dated on the Moon Kingdom. They both had lots of fun… even after the date ^^ but she knew that his soulmate was Usagi, and let him go faithfully. Thus was Rei's love. She would sacrifice her happiness for someone else's. She had a rough life, even worse than what any other of the scouts had. She was used to losing everything she cared about. Her only true everlasting friends were the crows that never left her, well actually they are her guardians in Mars, but still! "No one really knows her," thought Mamoru sadly. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to make her happy… she deserves it." He promised himself. He reached the bottom of the slope, but Rei wasn't there. "Rei, where are you?" He thought, hoping she could hear his mind and call out to him like she always could. Then he saw a black head disappear below a mound of ice near him. He ran after it, and then saw a secret entrance that it lead to. "Oh wow…" It was an underground spring. Rei had made it her sanctuary and put candles, plants, and chocolates by it. Then he saw her. There were tears in her eyes as she looked at the spring. Then he saw her anger becoming her power. "Rei has already reached her princess stage, by god… she's just as powerful as Usagi now!" He watched her, amazed, as she transformed into her princess state and then felt memories rushing back at him. Those same eyes that could pierce anyone, seeing everything they felt, everything they knew. The same firm lips that she opened to summon her greatest power. That same hair… oh god, that same exact hair. It was really her. Then his amazement turned into sorrow and horror as she screamed into the water, hating every drop in it's form. Rei- no, Princess Mars then raised her hands over her head, creating a huge fireball, throwing it into the spring, causing all of it to dry up, cracking the earth. Mamoru could feel a slight earthquake beneath his feet. He knew that she was not mad… Rei was never mad. She used so little of her power to not hurt the planet. Then he frowned as she burnt all of the plants, and melted the candles. Then she took all of the chocolates in her hand and mashed it into putty, rolling it between her fingers, slowly making all of her love for him burn. But she couldn't. She stared into the chocolate mess between her fingers and started laughing histerically. Her laughs started to fade, and she sobbed, looking at her hands in grief. Her knees collasped beneath her, and she continued sobbing between short, quick breaths. At last, she was just crying lightly, looking around her once-loved hideout. Mamoru couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped down to her and took her in his arms.
"Rei… Rei… what did he do to you?" He whispered. Rei continued crying, her tears muffled in his chest. Mamoru played with her hair untill she stopped crying. Then she finally looked up at him, and five innocent words came out of her sweet mouth, tearing his heart with pity and grief- even a bit of envy?
"He said he loved me…" Rei whispered. "He said he loved me… he said he loved me… that's what he said… that he cared for me… THAT LYING BASTARD SAID HE CARED FOR ME!" She pushed Mamoru away, and bit her lip, almost crying again. She then shook her head, staring into the pit where the spring once was.

"he said he loved me…"
