Chapter 14

"Mamoru…" Minako sadly smiled into his warm chest.

"Minako, I…" Mamoru stopped. Memories raced through his head, flashing for what seemed in front of his eyes. His eyes opened as if he had finally awakened and he couldn't seem to say anything. He had hurt Usagi, he hurt her and suddenly he couldn't bear the thought now of living without her. 'Why am I such an asshole?'

"Now, we can run away, both of us, together, forever." Minako whispered, pushing her face into his chest.

A sharp pain ran through him at that moment, a shock of knowing something bad had happened, something bad concerning Usagi. At that moment Mamoru's love for Minako died forever. He could finally see what he had done, "No…" He pushed her away from him, "I don't love you, Minako…" He stumbled back clutching his head in pain.

"What? But, we-" She couldn't believe what he just said.

"I don't love you!" He turned and looked back at Tokyo, as evil energy began to surge from it.

"No!" Minako stared at him, "You were supposed to love me! He promised you wouldn't be able to resist me!"

Mamoru's breathing stopped as he heard what she had said. He turned and stared at her shocked. She had planned it. She had hurt her friend, more importantly, her queen, "You planned this!"

She began to laugh as her Senshi uniform appeared on her slender body, but this time it was much darker, "I won't let you go back to her, you dirty son of a bitch!" Minako shouted as energy began form in front on her.

"You bitch, you hurt Usagi. This is your fault she is in pain!" Mamoru became Tuxedo Kamen. He slowly pulled his sword out of the sheath.

Minako laughed as she grabbed for the energy, which became the sword of Venus. She flew at him, sword ready for attack, "No, Mamoru, you did this!" Their swords clashed together.

"Never…" He lunged at her knocking her back a few feet. He attacked quickly, forcing her on the defense at all times.

"Think about it Mamoru!" Ting "You never loved Usagi! I saw the looks you gave me, always when I looked at you, you were staring at me!"

"I was watching you!" He jumped towards her as she flew back, slicing at her. "I didn't trust you all those times when Usagi was in battle and you would back away and abandon her! I loved, no, I still love Usagi!"

Minako stopped as he knocked the sword out of her hands, "But-"

"There never was an "us" Minako. I know you can't be a bad person," He smiled as he dropped his attack, "You were chosen to be a Senshi after all…"

Thoughts ran through Minako's head. Feelings she hadn't felt for a long time reappeared in her heart. What had she done, she fell to the ground as tears ran down her cheeks, "Mamoru, I'm…so sorry…" She looked down to the ground.

Mamoru smiled as he bent down to her. He gently hugged her, everything could still be saved he thought not everything was destroyed he thought. He easily smiled now as he thought of saving Usagi. His breathing then became very harsh as he felt a sharp pain through his stomach. He stumbled back, seeing a dagger plunged through him. A crimson color began to stain his tuxedo.

"W-why,"

Minako looked up at him, grinning, "If I can not have you, no one will!" She pushed the sword further into him, he bit back his yelp. She began to laugh at him, "Scream Mamoru...Scream my name...Say it!" She held the sword's hilt, looming over him.

"Never," He chocked out, "You stupid bitch!" A flash of red flew through the air at Minako.

She stopped, stumbling back away from him. Her lungs began to collapse as pain shot through her heart. She looked down to see a single rose directly in her heart. She laughed ironically at how she would die from just a single rose. She stared at him, "I love you, Mamoru…" She whispered to him, wanting to touch him one last time, as she fell to the ground, dead.

The sword in Mamoru stomach slowly faded away to nothing. He used his own sword to pull him self up. He looked at Tokyo as a cold sweat over took him. The energy now consumed everything. He began slowly walking towards the park. He only made it a few feet when he collapsed to the ground. He did not have the strength to force himself to walk to the park so he rolled to his back and looked into the sky.

'I'm sorry Usagi forg-' His head rolled to the side, silently, as his chest stopped, his body went numb and he was gone.

.:0:.

Rei stood up, staring at the man. Anger raged within her, but she could do nothing. Every attempt to hurt the man had failed, she had failed; they had all failed.

"Damn it…" Tears fell to the ground, "We failed…" She breathlessly whispered. Her hands turned to fists.

"Rei, we-" Ami began to try to calm her, but she wasn't going to hear it.

"Damn it, we failed Usagi, we didn't protect her!" Rei swiftly turned and yelled at the Senshi.

"Rei…" Makoto looked away, knowing she was right.

"Shut up." Haruka stood to her feet, her face hidden.

"Don't tell me to shut up!" Rei barked at her.

Haruka lifted her head, revealing the tears she had been weeping, "You think you were the only one to love, Usagi? Do you think you are the only one who feels like a failure?" She shrieked as she walked towards Rei, "I'm tired of your bullshit, Rei! Don't act like we didn't care for her!"

Rei stared at her, "Do you have any idea how bad you hurt Michiru? All you seem to care about is Usagi!"

"Why don't you mind your own business!" She came closer to Rei.

"We could all see how you treated Usagi! You treated her like you two were lovers, but guess what Haruka, she didn't love-" A hard slap connected with Rei's face, knocking her to the ground.

"Haruka!" Michiru stood up and glanced with concern.

"You bitch!" Rei punched for her, but only got a knee in the stomach.

"That is enough!" Setsuna screamed as she pulled Rei away from her. Haruka only smirked at her.

"Oh, god, this can't be the stars are rearranging!" Hotaru collapsed to the ground, her breathing erratic.

Resuko only laughed at them as he picked up his bride to be, "See you later, Senshi, maybe at our wedding?" He laughed as he disappeared with Usagi, leaving the Senshi to quarrel among them selves.

"Stop it!" Ami shrieked, drawing all the attention to her self, "Look at us, it is like we have never been a team!"

"Didn't we swear our allegiance to, Usagi?" Makoto looked at them all.

"Yes, we did…" Setsuna smiled at them all, trying to lift the mood. She held Hotaru, who now looked frail, close to her body.

"We have to come together…" Hotaru managed to spit out.

"I'm leaving." Haruka was now back in her clothes for the party, "Let's go Michiru…"

"No…" Haruka looked at her sharply.

"What?"

"Rei is right…You do love Usagi more than I…" She looked away sadly, "All this time, I thought maybe you would learn to love me more. Every time we were around Usagi, you would look at her in a way you would never look at me."

"Michiru…" Haruka began to hold her, but she pulled away.

"No, I am sorry, but we are over…" Michiru's party clothes reappeared on her body as she whispered goodbye then walked away into the darkness.

Haruka glanced harshly at Rei then also walked off, mumbling to herself. Rei didn't seem to care one way or another.

"Now, what?" Ami sadly asked.

"I'm leaving, too." Makoto stood quickly and ran off. She didn't know where to go now.

"I'm going to the shrine…" Rei casually walked towards her home.

Ami sighed as she stood up, "I'll see you later Setsuna and Hotaru." She slowly walked away from them.

"So, this is how it ends?" Setsuna and Hotaru sat on a bench looking up.

Hotaru stayed silent for a moment, "It will never end…" She whispered as tears slid down her face.

"What do you mean?" Setsuna stared at her.

"Once we, the Senshi, die, we will be reincarnated. So no matter what happens this fight for world will never end, it will be continuous." Hotaru sadly smiled, "But, since the Senshi have left now, their powers are gone to be renewed in some other person, a child probably."

"What about Usagi?"

"Usagi will never die, no matter how long the fight continues now."

"Her powers?" Setsuna stared at her.

"Well since her energy was replaced with dark energy, she has lost her powers. They too will be renewed in some child out there."

"What should we do then?"

"Look for the child of course."

"When will the power be renewed?"

"That is what I do not know, but we will wait until we hear news of the hidden power."

"What about the others? Should we tell them?"

"No, by tomorrow they will have completely forgotten about their adventures as Senshi forever." Hotaru smiled as her, taking Setsuna's hand. They both walked off into the darkness to wait for the child to appear.

A/N- Yes this is the end of this story. Will I do a sequal? I am not sure yet.
