Hi there

Sorry for the long wait. I was busy with cheer dancing practice this week so I wasn't able to update. This will be a short chapter since I am in a hurry. I still have choir practice! Forgive all the grammatical errors that I have.

Thanks to everyone who have read my fanfic!

DISCLAMER: I do not own Sailor Moon…


Tinted With Blue

Danielle Winters


Love is a mystery. It moves in mysterious ways. Love's meaning is unfathomable, inconsistent and universal. When one is in love, a new mystery, a new path and a new meaning is added.


The White Room

Previously…

Outside, in an empty park where people used to wait for their friends or lovers before going somewhere else, a young woman with long blonde hair that was in a long braid and blue eyes stood under the pouring rain. Her umbrella protected her from the rain and her coat warmed her body. She was looking at a lit window at the 25th floor of a condominium tower.

"I'll watch you even if I have to hide in the shadows." She said to herself while her pink lips formed a sweet smile.

"Usagi-chan…" a voice called out. A woman with brown hair tied in a ponytail came out of the shadows.

"Makoto-chan!"

"You have just come back and you are already watching him…"

"I can't help it… I love him."


Mamoru was walking in the hallway on his way to a young girl's room. He was yawning while some smitten nurses greeted him with sweet smiles. He returned the greeting with a polite nod and a smile. "Ami-san why do I have to take your shift!" he thought aloud.

While approaching the door, a nurse came to Mamoru and talked to him. The patient Ami-san was taking care came all the way from London and she was sent here to Japan for an operation. Mamoru was asked by Ami-san to take care of the preliminary tests.

"Sensei, the parents of the girl sent a professional psychologist to prepare her for the tests." The nurse said.

"I have no problem with that. I have to go inside now so I can meet her and give her and her psychologists some instructions." Mamoru replied.

"The psychologist is inside the room sensei."

"Well that's good." He said and then he knocked on the door.

Inside the room, a girl with sandy blonde hair was lying on her bed. Beside her was a beautiful woman. The nurses in the hospital call the woman, a tennyo (goddess) because of her long and flowing blonde hair and bright sky blue eyes. The woman is soft spoken and she smiles sweetly to everyone. They were talking happily with each other when they heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" a strong British accent said. The door slowly opened and after a few minutes, it revealed the figure of a man with ebony hair and midnight blue eyes. He was tall and he has a slightly muscular physique.

"Good morning!" the girl greeted.

"Ohayo gozaimasu." The woman followed and then she bowed.

"Ohayo gozaimasu." Mamoru greeted and bowed too. As if driven by an invisible string, Mamoru and the woman both stood straight at the same time enabling them to stare at each other.

"Uasko…" Mamoru uttered. His heart had started beating fast and he was having difficulty to breath.

"Mamo-chan…" Usagi gasped. Her hand covered her open mouth.

They stood there staring at each other. Mamoru was thinking that he was dreaming while Usagi was afraid that Mamoru might run and hide from her. She was afraid to lose sight of him forever.

It seemed forever, just looking at each other's eyes. Blue clashing with blue, both searching for answers and reasons.

"Aunt Usagi, do you know him?" the girl asked, finally noticing the odd reactions of the two adults. Mamoru and Usagi snap back to reality.

"Err, yes darling, he is a good friend of mine." Usagi gently replied.

"Oh, you haven't seen each other for a long time then?"

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for 12 years."

"Good friend? Of course expect her to answer like that moron! She is probably engage to someone else now and enjoying a happy life. You deserve to suffer Mamoru-baka because you are a jerk!" Mamoru told himself. He was disappointed with Usagi's reply to the little girl.

"Sena, he is Dr. Mamoru Chiba." Usagi said to the girl.

"Nice to meet you doctor." Sena said to Mamoru.

"Err, nice to meet you too."

"Wow, he speaks English auntie!"

"Yes he does, he is very good with it too. Dr. Chiba is a very smart man."

"Thank you for the compliment." Mamoru said to Usagi. Usagi just smiled at him and returned her attention to her niece.

"I'll leave you for a moment ok? Dr. Chiba will talk to you regarding the tests. I'll be outside if you need me."

"All right." Sena said with a nod. Usagi smiled and walked across the room and pass Mamoru. Mamoru wanted to close his eyes, turn and pull Usagi for a tight embrace but his feet wouldn't obey his mind. He hear the soft "thud" of the door and he had to pull himself back to reality.


Well that's it for now. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!

I'll be updating soon.

Sincerely,

Danielle Winters
