She was running. Running as fast as her legs could go. The pull was getting stronger. She was getting weaker. The light was getting further away. She wants to give up.

"Where the hell is she! The last time I spoke to her was the last battle. That was two days ago" Rei sighed to others.

All 4 scouts were sitting in the arcade hoping to run into Usagi.

"I don't know Rei… we've tried her at home…school's out for the summer so she can't be there, not like she would even go near there… We've tried Naru and everyone else she used to hang around with… what else can we do?" Makoto said

"Luna's getting frantic too… worried she's laying in a ditch bleeding to death. She blames herself you know…" Minako said in a trance

"Minako-Chan!" Rei scowled, shoving her lightly

"Sorry" She said bowing her head "I miss my twin" A few tears roll down her cheek

"If only we knew where she was…." Makoto said

"We could ask Motoki!" Ami said suddenly jumped up and ran over to the blonde at the counter, the others following her

"Motoki, you don't happen to know where Usagi-Chan might be, do you?" Ami asked politely. The other girls battered there eye lashes

Motoki chuckled lightly "As a matter of fact I do!"

Everyone squealed "Is she ok? Where is she?" Rei asked desperately

Everyone turned to her with disbelief, Rei turned bright red

"What? I can be worried to cant I?"

The others shrugged and turned back to Motoki

"She's at Mamoru's. He said she hurt herself on the way home about 2 days ago…I suppose that's where she still is… I hope them two get together" An evil glint formed in his eye as he walked off muttering.

Everyone stood with there mouths open.

"What if she's seriously hurt?" Rei said "We should go over there! He could also suspect something" She began to walk out of the door when Minako latched onto her arm

"Hold it!" She said "Something inside me says we can trust Mamoru with our secret…. And I think he will take care of Usagi-Chan if she's really hurt… it will be a chance for them to get together….We can't spoil it!" she said nearly shouting towards the end

Rei stared at her before starting to protest

"Minako-Chan's right Rei… Usagi's in good hands…" Ami said interrupting.

Minako and Makoto smiled while Rei grumbled

"Fine, we better go tell the cats" She said walking out of the arcade in a huff.

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

The light was coming closer. She was winning. Just a bit further. Come on Usagi. Just a bit further, it's closer…. Its nearly here come on just a bit further

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

She opened her eyes slowly, the side of her stomach ached. A white ceiling came into view.

That's not my ceiling she thought. Memories of the battle flooded her memory. She remembered de-transforming then everything went blank.

She sat up slowly, wincing as a sharp pain ripped through her stomach. The world before started to spin as she sat up, she held her head trying to steady it.

When her vision was clear she looked around. Tidy and plain were her first thoughts.

She looked around and nearly keeled over when she spotted Mamoru sitting beside her, with his head buried in his arms, snoring lightly.

"What in the world…" She whispered confusion over taking her.

Mamoru jolted awake suddenly.

He stared at Usagi and gasped

"Usagi-Chan your awake! How are you feeling?" He asked

"Other then utterly confused….Erm my stomach hurts… wait a second I should be dead by now…" She lifted up her blood covered top and saw the stitched up wound.

"You did this?" She asked staring into his eyes

He simply nodded.

"You fainted in my arms bleeding to death Usagi…" noticing how she winced when he said death

She remained silent, lowing her gaze to the floor

"Look, we'll talk about it later, right now you need to eat and drink something. You've been out for 2 days" He said getting up and setting her back down gently

An electric jolt shot through both of there bodies at his touch and Usagi gasped.

"Erm, you need to take it easy… I'll be back in a second…" He said shaking his head and walking out of the room

She touched her arm lightly where Mamoru held her. She smiled slightly, getting comfy under the blanket, secretly enjoying being with Mamoru.

A few minutes later Mamoru came back into the room with a glass of water and a couple of slices of toast.

He helped Usagi sit up and handed them to her, taking a seat on the edge of the couch.

"Are you going to tell me how you got them wounds Usagi? Its not just that I found multiple bruises and cuts too…Please tell me Usagi…." Mamoru asked with pleading eyes

Usagi stared into them. Then sighed deeply

"I…I can't…." She said bowing her head

"Well then I hope one day you can trust me enough to tell me…" He said quietly

A tear rolled down her cheek as he walked out of the room.

I wish I could tell you Mamoru….I really do…But for now this is the way it has to be… She thought silently, finishing off her toast and water sadly.
