Chapter 9)

Usagi had fallen asleep on the couch, again. She stood up and walked over to the bedroom but stopped when she heard them on the balcony talking about her. She hid herself behind the wall and listened carefully.

"I'm so sorry! If I would've protected Usagi then it wouldn't be like this. She wouldn't have to go through all the pain and suffering" Mamoru said sadly.

"No we're sorry. If we did our jobs as sailor Guardians properly then we wouldn't have to put your lives in danger. Plus I forgot to remind her that the crystal couldn't work in the future" said Minako. She frown and looked downwards at The busy road below.

"She just means so much to me and watching her suffer-"

"Makes up suffer too" interrupted Makoto and Ami.

Usagi walked back to the couch and checked her phone. It wasn't their fault they put her in so much pain and suffering. It was her own. Usagi walked over to the balcony, acting as if she just woke up. They stopped talking when she walked in and they all greeted her. Mamoru held Usagi's hand and smiled. 'Act happy for them' she thought to herself. She giggled and smiled at him. After 30 minutes later, she started to feel odd. She squeezed Mamoru's hand for support as her head felt like it was spinning in circles.

"Usako, you ok?" Asked Mamoru. She nodded and let go of his hand.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why?" She asked feeling worse by the second.

"you were holding my hand too tight" he said concerned. Suddenly a image flashed through her mind from when the Moon Kingdom fell. She held back her tears as she started to feel tired and her legs were aching. It was like all her energy was draining out of her. Se had to stay strong.

5 minutes later, Minako, Makoto, Ami and Rei left. She was in the bedroom sitting on the bed while Mamoru was having a shower. She still wasn't feeling better, if worse. She was talking to him through the door.

"I'm gonna get a drink" she yelled as she ran to the kitchen.

"Don't smash anything" he yelled from the bathroom. The shower turned off. She opened the cupboard and reached for a glass cup. Usagi walked over to the taps, filled it up and started walking over to the couch. Her legs couldn't hold her body up anymore. She fell to the floor.

"Odango! Stop smashing stuff" Mamoru yelled. No reply came. He finished getting dressed and ran into the kitchen. She wasn't there.

"Usako?" He yelled loudly. He looked down and saw a piece of glass. He carefully stepped over The glass, picked her up and carried her to his room. He placed her on his bed and chucked himself on the corner.

"Get up Odango" he said. So response came. He panicked and used her communicator to call Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako. He explained what he saw and what he thought had happened.
