Chapter 6

Mamoru sits by a hospital bed. Lying on the bed is Usagi. She is pale and weak. She looks so frail lying there. She barely breathes or moves. He feels himself begin to doze and knows that he needs to stand. He walks over to the bed and places his hand on hers.

He bends down and kisses her forehead.

"Usako, it's been four months. Please open your eyes." He pleads with her, but she does not respond. "Usako," he sighs. "I am going to go now." He turns and walks away. He feels as though everything that is happening to her is his fault.

As he walks from the hospital, he sees Cassandra standing outside of the hospital. He turns to go back inside to protect Usagi from her.

"You don't have to worry about Serenity. Your priestess friend has the place well protected."

"Go to hell, Cassandra." Mamoru says as he turns and walks away from her.

Anger fills her at his response. "You and your friends will pay for this, Endymion." She yells after him.

He turns and glares at her. "I am already paying for listening to you in the first place. She isn't waking up. Without her, I have nothing left to live for, so don't tell me I will pay." He turns and disappears down the street.

Cassandra glares at him and screeches in anger. When she can no longer see him she disappears.
