Usagi's Love Letter Chapter I: Dear Mamoru

Note: ^^ Well I'll write this into a story. *makes mental note that Sailor Moon and Inuyasha are HOT anime that are likely to be reviewed* Since I haven't seen any episode after 18, I'll just write it as what I think would happen. And even after I get caught up, I'll leave this fic as a kind of "fan alternative." Thanks to everyone who's reviewed! After this story finishes, I'll write one about Sailor Saturn and how I think she'll make an appearance in the live action series. ^.~ Now to the story!

Mamoru stops at his door, noticing a folded sheet of paper attached to it. "Ah, looks like someone left you a note.", his lovely fiancé (I can't remember her name offhand) giggles. "Hmm.", the young man remarks taking the note down. "Whose it from?" "Usagi...", Mamoru comments and opens the door.

The two walk inside of Mamoru's apartment. "Aren't you going to read it?", she inquires of her boyfriend. "Probably not.", Mamoru replies setting the note down on the table. He walks into the kitchen to prepare them some tea. "Why not? It could be important.", she suggests. "I doubt it."

The beautiful childhood sweetheart gazes at the folded note from her seat. Mamoru had explained to her that Tsukino Usagi was a girl that he knew and not really even a friend. He had carried her over to a friend's house when she was ill, but Mamoru always does such nice things. The girl that she had bumped into and dropped her knitting was Usagi. Mamoru never said anything more than that.

Mamoru returns with two glasses of fresh tea. He hands a cup to his fiancé and sets the other one down. "Excuse me for a moment." She watches as her betrothed leaves yet again, this time for the toilet. "I told him not to eat that greasy American food.", she comments with a smile, her eyes slowly gazing at his letter.

He would be on the toilet for awhile so she would have plenty of time to open it and read it. However, that would be an invasion of Mamoru's privacy. Although, it clearly seemed that Mamoru had no intention of reading it at all. It could be important. She could always apologize when he gets back out of the bathroom.

"Gomen ne.", she comments to herself as she picks up the note and slowly unfolds it. Reading the letter, Mamoru's girlfriend discovers that it is not a simple letter, but in fact, a love letter. "It's been so long since I've seen one of these. I remember getting a lot of these love letters back in Junior High. All those letters didn't matter to me, because I had Mamoru, however, I still read each and every one." She smiles carefully folding the letter back up. "She's a very brave girl, writing a love letter to a man she knows is engaged. She's not trying to steal him away either, she's doing what she feels is right, by letting him know that she's fallen in love with him. I would do the same thing. Perhaps you're not so unlike me, Tsukino Usagi."

Mamoru walks back into the room. "You're right, I shouldn't have ate that greasy American food.", Mamoru comments as he takes a seat next to his fiancé. "You really should read this, Mamoru. It would be rude if you didn't." "So, I take it you read it?", Mamoru questions. "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have, but it looked like you weren't going to read it...and if it was important...." "It's not important," Mamoru replies taking the letter gently from her hands, "you are." The young man walks over to the recycling box and drops the letter in it. "You don't so much as smile for me! You've changed since we were kids. You're not the same Mamoru I feel in love with all those years ago."

Mamoru falls silent. He clearly done something to upset her, but from the look in her eyes, he knew he had lost her. He never thought that she would leave him. He would always be there for her as he had promised when they were kids. Although he thought that she would have grown up and gotten over him and fell in love with someone else, here they are as adults, still together. However, now, over some stupid letter, she had decided to break up with him.

"I'm sorry Mamoru, but I can't marry you. I guess it was silly. We were only kids then. I shouldn't keep you from being happy. I'm not the one who can make you smile." Mamoru remains silent, unable to think of a response. It is all happening so suddenly, he never expected it. He watches her remove her engagement ring and place it on the table. "Please Mamoru, keep this one promise to me, that you will give this ring to someone you love, someone who can make you happy." With those final words, Mamoru watches his childhood sweetheart walk out the door.
