Chapter 2 - Painful Confrontations

The mist around Usagi was thick and damp and it gave her the creeps. Stumbling through she had no idea where she was. At least the ground beneath her feet seemed solid. Out of nowhere, a voice called her name.

"Usako," She knew that voice like she knew her own. Turning she tried to figure out the direction it was coming from.

It came again, "Usako?" His voice was pleading for her. It seemed as though it was coming from her right so she started moving that direction. In the distance, she thought she saw a murky figure.

"Usako," There again, this time it seemed even closer.

Suddenly from her left came another voice. "Sweetheart…Where are you?" 'What is Sei doing here in the mist?' She could just make him out off to her left. He waved to her. "Sweetheart, come here. I have something for you."

"Usako" The heart breaking sadness in Mamo-chan's voice spoke to her heart. She looked off to the right and could just see Mamo-chan in the distance.

"My love, come let us get out of here." Sei called again. She looked back to the left to see Sei waving for her. The pounding of her heart grew louder. 'To the left into Sei's waiting arms or to the right to help Mamo-chan, kami-sama what to do?' She looked left, then right, and then left again.

Growing more agitated; she did not know which one was the right choice. She started to step to the right but turned at the last moment to look back at Sei; he looked hurt and confused. She looked back to the right to see Mamo-chan drifting in a different direction. Usagi looked back at Sei and her heart made the choice for her.

"I'm sorry Sei; I have to be there for him." 'If only things could have been different.' Without another thought about Sei, she ran towards her destiny.

She seemed to be moving at the same rate of speed as Mamo-chan. She got no closer if anything he seemed farther and farther away. She screamed in despair, "Mamo-chan! Wait I am coming. Mamo-chan," She ran harder and faster with more speed but still, he grew fainter in the distance. "Mamo-chan, please wait", He looked towards her, and the sadness etched on his features tore at her heart.

"Usako?" he called into the mist as though he did not realize she was there. She ran with everything inside her, trying hard to get to her love, but when she finally reached the spot where he stood, there was nothing but empty space. She felt herself falling and gave a last desperate scream, "Mamo-chan!"

---------

Usagi landed on the floor with a painful thump. Her pink bunny comforter tangled around her legs. 'What was that?' Her mind tried to hold on to the wisps of the dream but they were already gone. She knew she had been running…'being chased, no chasing someone?' She could tell she had been crying and she was all sweaty. 'That was too weird' A voice in the dark broke into her thoughts.

"Usagi quit messing around and go to sleep." Luna mumbled from across the bed, curled up trying to sleep. Usagi untangled herself and slowly climbed back into bed. 'Why do I feel heart broken?'

She laid there for quite some time pondering the mystery. Her thoughts finally wandered back over the previous evening and she blushed in the dark thinking of his kisses and caresses'. With a gentle smile, sleep finally claimed her and there were no more dreams.

As usual, Usagi woke late and had to run to school. Barely making it before the bell, she fell into her seat breathing rapidly.

Ami smiled at her, "Where'd you end up yesterday? Motoki told us you were with Seijuurou."

Smiling back, Usagi giggled, "We went to the Amusement Park his treat. I will have to save the rest for Lunch." Usagi looked up to see Haruna-Sensei looking rather stern.

"Tsukino-san is this something you care to share with the whole class?"

Usagi blushed and shook her head repeatedly. "No Sensei."

"Then you had better quit chatting with Mizuno-san and save the conversation until later." With a last stern look at Usagi, Haruna-Sensei turned and began directing the class.

---------

The girls all met up for lunch. They sat outside under a tree and spread their lunches around them. Usagi looked around at her four closest friends, "I have a secret to tell all of you." She grinned in excitement. "You all know I met up with Seijuurou...Sei, well anyway, he asked me to show him around. We ended up at the amusement park having a blast."

The girls were all looking at her with awe in their eyes. Usagi continued, "We ended the evening on the top of the Ferris Wheel." Her eyes softened and her hand wandered up to her mouth. "He kissed me."

The four girls around Usagi were shocked speechless for only a minute. "Way to go girl!" Minako threw her arms around Usagi and hugged her.

Ami smiled with pride and nodded in agreement.

Makoto thumped her on the back. "Wow Usagi!"

Rei was the only silent one waiting for the right moment. Once the rest of the girls settled down Rei pounced, "Usagi, what about Mamo-chan?"

They all stopped in shock. The girls had all forgotten history, fate and destiny. Usagi looked ready to cry. "Well….um…he doesn't remember me." A lone tear slipped down her cheek. "He may never remember again." More tears slipped down her cheeks. "I love him but maybe...just maybe….it….it's time to move on." Usagi stood quickly, "I just don't know anything anymore." With that said, she turned and ran off.

The girls all looked at Rei. "Why'd you do that?" Makoto looked ready to pound Rei.

"Hey wait." Rei held up her hand to stop the questions and recriminations. "I care about Usagi as much as the rest of you. She is my princess too, and they are fated to be together! You all know that he is Endymion. At some point, he will remember and they will marry!"

----------

Usagi ran blindly not looking where she was going. Blinded by tears she smacked into a faceless person and fell flat on her back. Immediately she began apologizing. "Gomen, Gomen," She was just standing up to run off again when a voice caught her attention.

"Usagi" Sei seeing she was distraught immediately caught her wrists in a gentle grip. "Come on let's go somewhere private where we can talk." He led her across the field and over to the bleachers.

Pushing her down gently, he crouched in front of her. Softly he used his thumbs to wipe away her tears. "Now what has you crying and running people down."

---------

Natsumi stood idly by the doors looking for Sei. When the bell chimed for lunch, she was unable to find him. She needed to talk to him because something strange had happened the previous evening. He had come home smiling and whistling and when she asked about it, he replied that he had met someone special.

Testing him she had immediately began going into detail about her date with Mamoru. Sei did not even get angry and usually that enraged him. Something was up and she wanted to know what. Finally, she spotted him across the grounds, she was just getting ready to wave when she was amazed to see that blonde bitch, Usagi, practically bowl him over. She laughed to see Usagi land with a hard thump flat on her back. When she saw Sei's look of concern her eyes narrowed.

When he grabbed Usagi's hand leading her off, Natsumi decided to follow. She wandered aimlessly keeping them in her sights. When they arrived at the bleachers, Natsumi smiled. It was no problem to slip underneath and get close enough to see and hear everything. As she listened to them talk she got angrier by the moment.

---------

Usagi tried to gain control of her emotions as he gently wiped away her tears. "Come on Usagi, you know you can tell me anything. Talk to me please?" She tried to figure out how much she could mention. Everything regarding Sailor Moon, Endymion, Destiny, was off limits.

"W...well you know how I told you there had been someone else. Well my friends think I should wait around for him instead of moving on." She struggled to continue, "But he may never think of me again. I had so much fun yesterday and it has been so long."

She paused to take deep gulping breaths of air trying to calm down. "Well since before." She stumbled and then continued, "Well before he forgot me." Usagi covered her mouth with her hand realizing her mistake she tried to think of a way to cover it.

Sei threw her an odd look, "what do you mean he forgot you?"

"Well um you see there was an accident and he doesn't remember anything from before the accident, including me." The tears began to fall in earnest once more. "He may never remember me, us, or anything. I just don't know what to do."

Seeing how much pain she was in, he leaned forward and gathered her in a gentle hug.

She dropped her head to his shoulder and let the tears fall. He rubbed her back and spoke soft words of comfort.

---------

When Sei gathered Usagi in a hug Natsumi's vision swam with an unearthly red. She wanted to cause Usagi immeasurable pain in that moment. 'He is mine. How dare that bitch cling? No one especially that blonde bitch is going to take Seijuurou he is mine!'

These thoughts coursed through her mind as her body trembled with rage. When the image of Mamoru arose in her mind, she calmed down. 'Hey maybe that trick would work on Mamoru. I can just imagine his arms around me, comforting me, leading to other things.' She smiled once more as she continued to watch.

---------

"I think you should follow your heart, Usagi. I think in the end your friends, if they are your true friends, will support you no matter what." Sei dropped a kiss to the top of her head her tears had finally slowed to a stop and she was calmer.

Lifting up her head, she looked at him. "You really think so? You don't think they might hate me for my choices?"

He used that moment to give her a tender look. "Sweetheart, I don't think anyone could hate you." He leaned closer and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She pulled back giving him a tremulous smile.

"Okay I should probably get back." Usagi tried wiping her face to hide the damage of her tears.

Sei glanced at his watch. "Yep lunch is just about over, come on I will walk you back." Hand in hand, they slowly wandered back towards the school.

----------

Natsumi stood underneath the bleachers puzzled, waiting for them to leave. She had seen the evil glee upon Sei's face when Usagi's head was turned but she had also seen him giving her a very tender look and that kiss. 'Why doesn't he kiss me like that?'

Natsumi sighed in amazement, 'What game is he playing at? I just have to know. Something is up and that must be why he is acting strange. His behavior is definitely arousing. I will have to stick close to the both of them.' Deciding it was safe to leave, she quickly left the bleachers and headed for the school.

---------

Usagi survived the rest of the day without any more confrontations. The final bell had just rung when a voice startled her back to reality.

"Hey Usagi," It was Natsumi, Sei's sister, smiling at her. "What are you doing right now?"

Usagi drained from her day was planning to head to the arcade to relax. Natsumi had never really seemed social so this sudden friendliness seemed strange.

"I well um am heading to my favorite hangout." Natsumi seemed wistful and Usagi actually felt sorry for the new girl.

"Hey would you like to come with me?" Usagi smiled at her with a hopeful expression.

"Sure why not, let's go." Studying Natsumi for a moment, Usagi thought that her cheery behavior almost seemed false.

They walked out of the school together and headed up the block towards the arcade. Usagi carried the conversation by filling the new girl in on all of the typical school gossip.

Usagi had turned around facing Natsumi, strolling backwards when she met what felt like a brick wall.

Natsumi's face lit up, "Mamoru, how nice to see you!" Greeting him effusively, she tried to latch onto his arm.

Mamoru hardly spared her a glance as he looked down at that familiar blonde girl, "Odango, not watching where you are going eh?" He smiled and watched as Usagi fumed.

"Mamoru, I had so much fun on our date yesterday, can we go out again soon?" Natsumi tried again to grab his attention, anything to take it off that blonde bitch.

Usagi listened with horror as Natsumi's words sank in. "Date yesterday…date yesterday… date yesterday" ran through Usagi's head like a horrible mantra.

Mamoru immediately saw the change in Odango. Her face had gone pale at Natsumi's words and her eyes had quickly glistened with unshed tears. He watched as she stood almost as though in shock, slightly trembling, before she dashed away.

Natsumi smiled in glee as Usagi ran off. Mamoru looked confused as he watched Usagi.

"What's up with her?" Natsumi played it cool and continued, "So you want to go do something?"

Mamoru was lost in thought. "Why did that just bother me? Almost as though I caused her pain, but I don't really even know her, do I?" All of those thoughts had his head buzzing so he shook himself mentally and answered Natsumi. "Sure let's go to the Arcade, I need coffee."

---------

"He has moved on." Her heart felt as though it was dying from inside her body. The pain was unbearable. Rather than stop and let it consume her, she ran keeping the pain at bay.

Knowing she could not go home, she headed to her next favorite place. Approaching Rei's shrine she slowed to a walk taking great gulps of air.

Walking up the long set of stairs, she could only pray Rei was home. Arriving at the temple itself, she knocked on the door.

When the door opened, Rei took one look and knew something was very wrong. "Here let's go to my room and talk." She led Usagi in and motioned for her to sit. Puttering around Rei quickly had a pot of tea ready.

Kneeling down beside Usagi, she forced a cup into her hands. "Here drink this it will help steady your nerves."

Usagi quietly sipped at the hot brew up to this point she had not said a word, could not if her life depended on it. The warmth of the tea soothed her and the herbs worked wonders at relaxing her. Usagi was finally ready to talk looking at Rei solemnly she just blurted it out. "He has moved on."

Rei knowing immediately whom she was talking about could not believe it. "What do you mean he has moved on?"

Usagi just looked at her. "I mean he has moved on. As in dating someone else, moved on, probably kissing her, moved on!" Seeing Usagi near hysteria, Rei was shocked speechless for a moment, and then had an idea.

"You sit here and drink your tea. I am going to do a fire reading and see what speaks to me. I'll be back shortly." The guardian of Mars went to the fire room and cleansed herself before changing into her priestess robe. Finally, ready she knelt before the fire.

"Fire of Mars I command thee, as thy guardian, show me what thy may." She relaxed her mind let go of everything and kept her breathing steady.

Slowly falling deeper and deeper into the fire, she slowly formed a connection. Staring into the flames, they soon parted for her all seeing eyes, and revealed murky images. Finally, after a good ten minutes Rei slumped over, worn out.

She slowly stood and changed back into her regular clothes and wandered back out to where Usagi patiently waited. Walking into the room the first thing she did was grabbing another cup of tea quickly sipping at it.

Rei wandered over to Usagi and knelt down. Feeling revitalized by the tea, she took a moment to gather her thoughts.

The messages were murky at best and wanting to confirm or deny the whole mess, she gently questioned Usagi.

"Usagi, who is he dating?"

Usagi stared ahead blankly, "Natsumi, Seijuurou's sister." That part at least was true then.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Usagi in a monotone slowly related what had happened. When she got to the part with the date, her eyes glistened once more.

Rei was amazed to see Usagi's control. Not even one tear fell.

"I'll call the girls on our communicator's. I think we need to have a Senshi meeting."

Usagi nodded and sipped at her now cold tea.

Well that is it for Chapter 2. I hope you all enjoy this. Please let me know what you think by reviewing?
