**** 02 ****
Usagi had boarded a jet plane for the United States and Ikuko and Kenji helped
Usagi register as a 'resident alien' as it was called in the United States. Usagi didn't
intend in becoming a United States citizen, but to go to America and fulfill her objectives.
The Senshi had gathered at the Hikawa Shrine to discuss why Usagi hadn't visited them
lately. No one knew the reason why Usagi stopped coming to the shrine. All the Senshi
had theories but no proof.
"I wonder why Usagi hadn't visited us lately?"
Makoto suddenly questioned the others.
"Has anything happened to Usagi-Chan recently?"
Minako suddenly questioned the others about Usagi.
"I remember," Ami started while she typed on her minicomputer and then continued, "maybe it had
to with Mamo-San breaking up with Usagi-Chan."
Ami suggested that Mamoru's breakup with Usagi was the cause of Usagi's disappearance.
"Did Mamo-San explain why he broke up with Usagi-Chan?"
Makoto suddenly asked about Mamoru breaking up with Usagi-Chan and what the true reason was.
"As Usagi-Chan had once stated, Mamoru's only reason was that he told her that he didn't love her
anymore, but I know, that wasn't a good reason."
Ami answered Makoto that she believed that Mamoru didn't love Usagi anymore wasn't the real reason
why he broke up with her. All this time, Rei had been silent. Rei was listening to the others talk and even
she had her own theories and like the others, she wouldn't be able to prove them. Luna and Artemis
sat nearby and the girls gave theories what had happened to Usagi. ChibiUsa was nearby and even she
didn't understand why Usagi would be a no show at the Hikawa Shrine.
Then about an hour or two later, Shingo Tsukino came walking up to the Hikawa Shrine holding a box.
The Senshi knew that he may shed some light on what happened to Usagi. Shingo himself didn't
know what was in the box and he wasn't about to open it. All the girls stood up as Shingo approached
the girls. He gave the box to Rei as Usagi had asked him and he spoke.
"Usagi had asked me to give you that and for you to open it after I had left the shrine."
Shingo suddenly spoke up as he handed the box to Rei. The outside of the box was pink. And
Shingo spoke again.
"You did nothing to Usagi, so don't feel guilty. I must go. I have things I got to do."
Shingo explained to the girls that they did nothing to Usagi and for them not to feel guilty.
"What happened to Usagi-Chan?"
Makoto asked Shingo on what happened to Usagi.
"All I can tell you is Usagi has new priorities now."
Shingo answered them and he spoke again.
"Usagi loves you all is what I know of what she told me. Farewell."
Shingo explained that Usagi loved them dearly and Shingo left the shrine. Rei opened
the box and inside was the Moon Pen, Usagi's communicator and her broach. The girls
and the Guardian Cats were surprised that Usagi had given them her important items.
"We have a mystery to solve in why Usagi gave us these items. I believe Mamoru may hold
part of the answer."
Rei suddenly added her two cents worth that Mamoru may know why Usagi gave her broach, her
Moon Pen, and her communicator to the Senshi. However, eventually, the Senshi would put together
that Usagi left Japan to study in the United States. They were concerned that the Black Moon could
target Usagi in America. Time wasn't on the Senshi's side. They had to figure out why Usagi left her
items and where she had gone and they also had to figure out what Mamoru knew and what his true
reasons for breaking up with Usagi.
