A/N: This is my first fan fiction, so please don't hurt me to badly. I hope you all enjoy, I tried my best.

Act 1: Intuition

Usagi looked down at her shaking hands.

Her staff was still slightly raised; the staff that had completed the deed.

Sailor Pluto lay in a crumpled heap on the ground.

Dead.

Neo Queen Serenity, protector of Crystal Tokyo, beloved Usagi..

...had killed her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Earth to Usagi!" Mamoru noticed his wife's dazed expression, and knew she wasn't listening to him.

"Hmm, what is it Mamoru?" Usagi put on her usual goofy smile, so as not to worry him.

"Remember your lunch date with the girls? You're supposed meet them in twenty minutes."

A quiet "Oh, yeah," was the only answer Usagi could seem to muster.

Mamoru looked at his wife with concern. Lately his wife had never seemed to be completely "there," like her mind was constantly in a different place. At least the girls thought to take Usagi out to lunch. They must have noticed her behavior lately. Hopefully the day out will cheer her up a bit.

"Did you hear me? I said I'm going now," Mamoru was the one with the dazed expression now.

"Ah okay. Have fun!" Mamoru smiled at his wife and ruffled her hair. He knew she hated that, and her expression said so. Usagi always fussed at him about that saying, "such a look is unbecoming of a Queen." Mamoru sighed. It wasn't the Usagi he remembered. When they were kids, she would have loved such a display of affection. She was different now, so proper.

"Well, goodbye Mamoru."

"Goodbye Usagi."

The Usagi he knew would never return.

"What are you talking about Usa!" Minako sipped a chocolate shake, wide-eyed.

"I think Mamoru is seeing someone else." Usagi looked down, playing with the heart-shaped, diamond entrusted wedding ring that Mamoru had given her. Hopefully, it still held some meaning.

Rei took the opportunity to chime in. "Oh c'mon, it you two's destiny to be together. No where in the books does it say the King of Crystal Tokyo will be unfaithful to his meatball head wife. Besides, if Mamoru was being unfaithful, we all know he'd be with me. Haha."

"Rei.." Ami looked up from the data she was recording to shoot Rei a disapproving glance.

Makoto gave a Usagi a pat on the back. Usagi eyes filled with tears. It seemed even her friends didn't understand. Ami looked up long enough to notice Usagi's impending tears.

"Usagi, what made you think these things all of a sudden? You've always trusted Mamoru and loved him dearly." Ami gave Usagi a genuinely concerned look.

The girls all faced Usagi to hear her answer.

"I...I, it's women's intuition! You have to believe me!" Usagi let the tears flow freely down her face.

Rei grabbed a tissue from the parlor's counter and handed it to Usagi. "Well Meatball Head, if Mamoru is cheating, who's he cheating with?

"Setsuna."

Usagi raced out of the parlor.

I know he's cheating, I just know he is. Thoughts raced through Usagi's mind as she ran home from the parlor, avoiding the many stares that the Queen of Crystal Tokyo was accustomed to receiving. They weren't welcome or acknowledged now.

He's always with her when I'm not around. He personally takes my key to the Gate of Time just to see her. We all know Setsuna harbors feelings for Mamoru. Hell, Mamoru knows it himself. Yet he still visits her everyday. He spends hours with her and even takes Chibi-Usa with him. Where do I fit into all of this? I just sit and home and look pretty while ruling the entire world. I have no King anymore. Usagi felt the tears coming again.

"I have no King anymore," Usagi tried to numb the pain as she walked past the familiar guards and into the crystal palace.

"..."

Why is Setsuna's Garnet Orb staff here? She never actually comes inside the Palace. Sailor Pluto's staff looked as if it had been thrown onto the floor. Usagi didn't know whether to be more angry about the scratch the staff had made on the floor, or the fact had just seemingly disregarded such a precious item like a play thing. She decided to be angry over both. She stomped down the hall that lead to the master bedroom, hoping to make her distraught presence known to Mamoru. She flung the doors open to their bedroom, almost in a rage.

Mamoru and Setsuna broke from their kiss.

Usagi had no king anymore.
