Chapter Six: Finally A
With Mamoru leading the Sailor Guardians, things seemed to be a little bit better; except that Rei's mind was still focusing on what she saw in that memory. She had never seen Usagi so sad before; not even when they were battling Galaxia. Sailor Moon never gave up, never stopped believing that she would save her friends, and never stopped fighting. It was their job as the Sailor Guardians to protect her; but, it never ended up like that. It was Usagi who always risked her life to protect the ones she loved. Rei had never felt this much sadness before. Usagi turned her focus on her as they came to a room on the first floor that lead to the basement. The others went in. Rei and Usagi stood out for a few seconds.
"Are you sure you're okay, Rei?" Asked Usagi, worriedly, "You have been really quiet since we broke the last clock."
"I just don't know how to feel about the memory I saw." Answered Sailor Mars with a sad tone in her voice.
"Don't you remember what you said before we broke it?" Usagi paused, asking yet another question, "You said not to ponder more about the memories and just forget it right then!"
"But, I can't stop thinking about this one, Usagi!" Rei began, "It was one with you again and . . ."
"NO!" Screamed Usagi on top of her lungs.
"Usagi . . ." Rei just stood there in complete shock.
"No! Forget it! Forget it right now!" Growled Usagi, intensively, "These memories are false and you HAVE to forget!"
Usagi opened the door and went inside; the door slammed shut in Rei's face. Usagi's rage and anger was something Rei had never seen from her friend before. Rei placed her hand on the doorknob and looked very pale. Usagi's anger frightened her more than that thing itself.
"Usagi . . ." Rei sighed, heading inside the room.
Makoto stood inside the room and waited for Rei to enter before walking next to her. She had noticed Usagi stomping away as fast as she could. Makoto didn't have enough time to ask her friend what upsetted her. Sailor Jupiter was very confused and didn't understand what could have made Usagi so tense and intimidating.
"What made Usagi so angry? If you don't mind me asking." She asked her friend.
"She's angry that I haven't stopped thinking about the memory I got from the last clock that Mamoru broke." Answered Rei, still sounding depressed, "I don't know why Usagi would get like this . . . I mean, anger and rage doesn't fit her."
"I agree." Makoto paused, looking ahead, "But, tell me what you saw in your memory. Maybe it will help you if you talk with someone about it."
"I guess you're right." Rei sighed a little before looking at her hands, "It had something to do with Usagi . . . all I saw was Usagi! There were points when I seriously looking out of Usagi's eyes."
"What were you able to see when you were Usagi?" Makoto asked, anxiously.
"Blood." Replied Rei, "There was a lot of blood."
"Did you see anything else?"
"Yes, but I am not sure who it was or not."
"Who?" Jupiter asked, catching onto what Mars was saying.
"There was a body there . . . it was covered in blood." Rei answered, sounding scared, "And strands of pink hair!"
"Pink hair?"
"I believe the body that I saw was indeed . . ." Rei paused, stopping dead in her tracks, "Usagi Small Lady Serenity."
