Alright back with chapter 6. Thanks to all who reviewed. Again I don't own anything. I don't own Evanescence's song My Immortal. Enjoy.
Usagi's memory.
The next morning Makoto woke up to yelling. "I don't want to go today," yelled Usagi.
"Your going to school," yelled Mrs. Tsukino.
"I never go to school on the 5th of May," shouted Usagi.
"We are not falling for your excuses this time. Your going to school," shouted Mr. Tsukino.
"No I won't go. You can't make me," shouted Usagi.
"Why don't you want to go," shouted Mrs. Tsukino.
"It's none of your business anyway," yelled Usagi.
"Well were making it our business," yelled Mr. Tsukino.
"I am your mother. I want what's best for you. I know that school is what's best for you," said Mrs. Tsukino softly.
"You aren't my mother," said Usagi bitterly. Usagi mother just gasped and started to cry.
"That's enough," said Mr. Tsukino as he slapped Usagi. "You're going to school. Other wise you'll be a worthless whore."
"See I told you. You are nothing but a piece of worthless shit," said Usagi's father before he began to beat her. "No amount of schooling will ever change that. You are worthless. It's your fault she is dead," said Usagi's father as stopped the beating. "I suppose your not all bad. You do a make a punching bag and an even better whore," stated Usagi's father before he raped her.
"I am not a worthless whore and I'm not your punching bag either," said Usagi as she left the room and head up to the bathroom.
"I'm sorry Usagi," said Mr. Tsukino as he looked at the hand that he used to strike is daughter.
"We need to apologize to her," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"At the same time she needs to apologize to you too. You may not be her birth mother, but you are her mother," said Mr. Tsukino as he consulted his crying wife.
Usagi stayed in the bathroom despite the protests made by Sammy. "Common meatball brains I need to use the bathroom," said Sammy.
"Go away," said Usagi.
"Usagi, common we have to go," said Makoto.
"Go ahead with out me. I'm not going to school," said Usagi.
"Why not?" asked Makoto.
"You wouldn't understand," said Usagi.
"Try me," said Makoto.
"It none of your business," said Usagi.
"Usagi we need to talk to you," said Mrs. Tsukino.
The door to the bathroom opened. "School sounds like a very good option right now," said Usagi as she came out of the bathroom.
"Yes," cried Sammy happily as he ran inside and locked the door.
Usagi and Makoto then head for the door. "Usagi we need to talk," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"That can wait till later. I'm going to school like you wanted," said Usagi.
Sensing that this was going to end up in another shouting match Makoto stepped in. "Thanks for your hospitality," said Makoto as she dragged Usagi to the door.
"Your welcome Makoto," said Mr. Tsukino as the girls headed out the door.
"Thanks I owe you one," said Usagi as the headed to school.
"No problem. What are friends for," said Makoto.
"You know you could have gone with out me. Your going to be late," said Usagi.
"It's alright," said Makoto.
"Well good luck with Ms. Haruna," said Usagi as she started to head in a different direction then school.
"Usagi, where are you going?" asked Makoto.
"Not to school," replied Usagi as she continued off into a different direction.
"Usagi," started Makoto.
"Look I'll be fine. I can take care of my self. If you're worried about the crappy orochi I doubt they will try anything right now," said Usagi as she cut off Makoto.
"Usagi, I'm not worried about that," started Makoto as she began to follow Usagi.
"Look how about this I'll go do what I need to do and I'll meet you at school after lunch ok," said Usagi.
"Yeah," said Makoto sadly.
"See ya later," said Usagi as she took off.
Once Usagi saw that Makoto was long gone, she changed over to her orochi outfit. "That's better," said Usagi as she teleported over to where she wanted to go.
"Mommy can we go to the park?" asked a three year old Usagi.
"Not right now sweet-heart," said Usagi's mother.
"Please mommy. I've been good all day," said Usagi.
"Usagi," said her mother.
"Please, please, pretty please," said Usagi.
"Well alright. Just for a little while," said her mother.
"Yay. I'll get my coat," said Usagi as she ran down the hall way.
"Usagi don't run," scolded her mother with a smile.
"I'm ready mommy," said Usagi.
"Alright. I'm taking Usagi to the park for a little while," said Usagi's mom as she told her husband.
"I see Usagi got you to take her after a few hours of pleading," said Usagi's father with a chuckle.
"Yeah," replied Usagi's mother.
"Never thought I would come back here again," said Usagi as she walked around the old abandoned apartment. "Even your blood is still here after all of these years," said Usagi as she noticed the blood stain on the floor. Usagi headed down the hall way and opened the door. "It didn't change even after all of this time. I wonder if it is still here." Usagi bent down and looked for something under the bed.
"What are you looking for," said a voice.
"A small chest, Tsubasa," replied Usagi.
"Oh?" questioned Tsubasa.
"Yes. What are you doing here?" asked Usagi.
"I felt you teleport. So I wondered what was up," said Tsubasa.
"Just getting a few things before this place is destroyed," said Usagi.
"Anything of great importance?" asked Tsubasa.
"Not to you. For me however, I know what I am looking for," said Usagi.
"Who is the women? She looks a lot like you," stated Tsubasa as he picked up the picture.
"My mother," said Usagi as picked up a teddy bear.
"I see. So would it be safe to say that this was once your room?" asked Tsubasa.
"No," said Usagi as she finished taking what she wanted. "It was her room," said Usagi.
"What a nice necklace," said Tsbuasa.
"It is," said Usagi as she picked it up along with a few other piece of jewelry. "There is still one thing that I want," said Usagi as she headed to a new room.
"And that is?" asked Tsubasa.
"This," said Usagi as she picked up a picture with her and her mother smiling at the park.
"When was that taken?" asked Tsubasa.
"Fifteen years ago, today," said Usagi as she put her possessions into the small chest. "Dam I have to" said Usagi as shifted back into her school uniform. Usagi then put the chest in her bag seeing as it would be the safest place for it. "Look I want you to send a yoma down. For now just make one that is going to cause mass amounts of suffering. I want the sailors to understand that this world is hell," said Usagi.
"Consider it done," said Tsubasa as he teleported away.
"Guess I should head to school," said Usagi as she teleported into an ally that was about a block away from her school.
After leaving Usagi, Makoto ran the rest of the way to school. "Great I'm only about an hour late," said Makoto as she entered the building.
"Makoto," said a voice.
"Ami," said Makoto as she ran over to her girlfriend.
"Makoto I was so worried," said Ami.
"I know. But don't worry anymore. I'm here now," said Makoto before she kissed her girlfriend.
"Did you feel that," asked Ami as she felt a huge wave of negative energy.
"Yeah but its gone now," said Makoto as the energy left.
"Do you think there is a yoma?" asked Ami.
"I think there might have been. But it already got dusted" said Makoto. 'Did Usagi dust it? Is that why she didn't come to school this morning?' wondered Makoto.
"Makoto, we better get to class. I don't think Ms. Haruna will think it took me this long to go to the bathroom," said Ami.
"Alright," said Makoto as she and Ami walked hand in hand. "The music room," questioned Makoto as the reached the door.
"It was the only place that was available since her room was destroyed," replied Ami as they entered that class room.
"Ms. Kino, is there a reason why you are an hour late?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Sorry. I was at Usagi's house until now," replied Makoto as she took her seat.
Class continued like normal. Some students began to present there projects that were due. "Alright class we will continue this after lunch. For now class dismissed," said Ms. Haruna.
"Come on guys lets get some lunch," said Minako as the group left the class room.
"Yeah. Sounds good. I'm starved," said Makoto.
"Makoto, did you remember to do your project? It's worth half our grade," stated Ami as she grabbed with Makotos hand.
"Yup, I did it last night when I was with Usagi," said Makoto as she smiled at her girlfriend.
"Makoto, were is Usagi," asked Michiru. 'Were are you love. You shouldn't be wondering all by your self' thought Michiru.
"To be honest I don't know were she is. She said she would be back after lunch," said Makoto.
"What do you mean you don't know were she is," said Ms. Haruna as she walked over to the group with Usagi's parents.
"Makoto please explain," stated Ms. Haruna.
Makoto then proceed to explain everything that had happened up to the point were she got to school. "So you really don't know were Usagi," said Haruka.
"Why didn't you go with her?" said Michiru.
"I don't know why I didn't go. I just felt that I need to respect her privacy for once that's all," said Makoto.
"Yeah and I appreciate that," said Usagi as she joined the group.
"Usagi were have you been?" asked Mrs. Tsukino.
"Skipping half of school is wrong Usagi," said Ms. Haruna.
"Hey if it wasn't for Makoto I wouldn't have even come," said Usagi.
"There is nothing wrong with this day," said Mr. Tsukino.
"You have no reason to skip," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"Usagi, I know that this project was half your grade but if you didn't do it, I would have given you extra time so could at least pass the class," said Ms. Haruna.
"Usagi you didn't do your project?" asked Mr. Tsukino.
"No I," started Usagi.
"I'm sorry Usagi but I have no choice but to fail you," said Ms. Haruna.
"But I," said Usagi.
"Come on Usagi. Your going home right now," said Mr. Tsukino as he grabbed Usagi's bag and her hand.
"Give that back," said Usagi.
"Usagi-chan," said a voice.
"Miyako, What are you doing here?" asked Usagi.
"I figured you could use a friend," said Miyako.
"Thanks," said Usagi as she gave Miyako a hug.
"I also thought you might want this back," said Miyako as she handed Usagi a picture once the hug was broken. "You look just like her. Same blonde hair, and blue eyes. Same face too."
"How did you get this?" asked Usagi.
"Does it matter? The important thing is you got it back right," said Miyako.
"True," said Usagi.
"I'm going to assume that your project was based off her," said Miyako.
"Yeah it was," said Usagi.
"You did your project?" said Ms. Haruna.
"Yeah but you people didn't give me a chance to tell you that," said Usagi.
"Sorry Usagi," said Ms. Haruna and her parents.
"So why don't you present your project and we can leave after. Then you can see her," said Miyako.
"Yeah," said Usagi with a sad smile.
"See who?" asked Hotaru.
"Doesn't concern you," said Usagi.
"Why don't you start your presentation," suggested Ms. Haruna as she ushered them into the music room.
"As you know our assignment was to pick a person that influenced your life the most, and then write something about them. So I wrote a tribute to my mother," started Usagi.
"Oh Usagi" said Mrs. Tsukino.
"It was here that influenced me the most. It was she that impacted me the greatest. She set the course for my future and the future of this world. So here it goes," said Usagi as she sat down at the piano. Usagi started to play and soft piano music could be heard. Usagi then began to sing.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
"Usagi do you want to go on the swing?" asked her mother.
"No I don't want to," said Usagi.
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
"Ok then, what would you like to do?" asked her mother.
"Oh wow. Look mama, a balloon," said Usagi.
"You want a balloon?" asked Usagi's mother. Usagi's face lit up as she nodded her head franticly. "Alright lets get you a balloon," said Usagi's mother as she and Usagi headed to the man with the balloon cart.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
"Which balloon do you want Usagi? There is no need to be afraid, sweet-heart. So tell the nice man what color balloon you want," said Usagi's mom.
"That one," said Usagi as she pointed to the blue balloon.
"Here ya go kiddo," said the man.
"Thanks," said Usagi. "My balloon," said Usagi as she started to tear up.
"Don't worry mommy will get you another balloon," said Usagi's mother.
"But I wanted that one," sobbed Usagi.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
"Alright I'll get you your balloon. Don't worry," said Usagi's mom. "Could you watch her for a minute?" asked Usagi's mom.
"Sure no problem," said the man.
"Thanks," said Usagi's mom to the man. "I'll be right back Usagi. So you're going to stay with this nice man ok?" said Usagi's mom as she knelt down to her daughters height.
"Ok, mommy. I love you," said Usagi as she gave her mom a hug.
"I love you too sweet-heart. I'll be right back" said Usagi's mom as she returned the hug and give Usagi a quick kiss on the forehead before she left.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
"Where is my mommy? She should be back now," said Usagi.
"I'm sure she'll be back soon," said the balloon man.
"Someone call an ambulance quick," said a person.
"There has been an accident," said another person.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Usagi had managed to catch site of the accident and saw "Mommy," cried Usagi as she ran over to her mother.
"Usagi-chan, I got your balloon back," said Usagi's mom with a smile as she handed Usagi her balloon and whipped the tears off Usagi's cheek.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
"Mommy," cried Usagi.
"It's ok Usagi. I love," said Usagi's mom before she closed her eyes for the final time.
"Mommy, wake up," cried Usagi as she poked her mother.
"Poor kid," muttered the crowed.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
"Come back mommy," said Usagi as she sobbed over he mothers body.
"I'm so sorry," slurred the man that had hit Usagi's mother.
"Mommy's just sleeping she'll wake up soon," said Usagi.
"Get the kid out of here," said a police officer.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Usagi had finished her song. She wasn't crying, she wasn't saying anything, she just stared off into space. "Usagi that was, by far your best work. If you put all your energy into your work this often you would give Ami a run for her money. Well done, I'm going to give you a 100," said Ms. Haruna.
"Usagi, did you hear that?" asked Makoto.
"What?" asked Usagi.
"Alright," said Usagi as she looked at Miyako with a sad but knowing smile.
"Usagi that was beautiful" said Mrs. Tsukino as she hugged her daughter.
"What the hell is that thing?' asked Miyako as a yoma came into the class room.
"Not again," said Ms. Haruna.
"Mars Flame snipper" yelled Mars as her attack hit the yoma.
"You guys best run. That yoma will take on the appearance of anything in a longing heart" said Pluto.
"The more despair in the person's heart the harder it is for them to break the spell," said Mars.
"I can feel the despair in your heart. So much pain so much suffering. Come on reveal your heart to me, Tsukino Usagi," said the yoma.
"No," said Usagi as she backed away from the yoma.
"Come on make my day. Who is it you want to see again," taunted the yoma.
"Stay way from her. Mars Flam Sniper" yelled mars as her attack hit the yoma again.
This gave Usagi enough time to get a head start. "Come on Usagi I know who you want to see again," taunted the yoma as its shape began to change.
'Don't look back' thought Usagi as she ran down the hall way.
The tall blonde hair, blue eyed women, that could pass as Usagi's twin called out to her. "Usagi don't run in the hall way" taunted the yoma. "What's the matter my sweet Usagi-chan, don't tell me your afraid of your own mother" taunted the yoma, who now had the appearance of Usagi's birth mother. "Don't you want your balloon back," said the yoma as it began to chase Usagi.
"After it," said Pluto.
"Right," replied Mars. Just then a massive dark energy wave past through them. "Did you feel that? I have never felt anything that dark."
"Yeah, but worry about it later. Usagi needs us," said Pluto.
"Right" said Mars as they continued to run down the hallway.
"Usagi" screamed Mrs. Tsukino.
"We have to help them" said Mr. Tsukino as he and his wife fallowed the two sailor scouts.
"Usagi" muttered Ms. Haruna as she too followed.
"Let's go," said the rest of the scouts after they had transformed.
Usagi continued to run. 'Need to destroy that thing before it takes the form of my mother' thought Usagi as she changed back over to her orochi clothing. However the only difference was instead of her shoe length jacket, she wore a caped hood to hide her face. Usagi then teleported out into the school yard.
"Usagi, where are you?" called the yoma.
"She left, but I would be honored to make your acquaintance," said the masked Usagi, as she looked down at the yoma.
"Just who the hell do you think you are," sneered the yoma.
"you shouldn't have taken on the form of my mother," said Usagi as she readied her buster sword.
"Usagi," smirked the yoma, as it charged at Usagi.
"You should no to bow down to your superiors," said Usagi as she blocked the yoma's attack and countered with her own.
"You would hurt your own mother," taunted the yoma.
"No, but your not my mother now are you," replied Usagi as she landed another blow.
"Who is that?" asked Ms. Haruna as she caught sight of the hooded Usagi.
"Are they an ally of yours?" asked Mr. Tsukino.
"Actually we don't know who they are," said Saturn.
"Wow," said Uranus as the yoma was dusted within a minute of the hooded person's arrival.
"You saved our daughter, thank you," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"Don't go near them. There is something off about them," said Mercury.
Usagi had turned her sights onto the sailor scouts. "Thanks for all your help," said Venus as she went over to the hooded person.
Usagi then gave an uppercut to Venus and sent her flying into the air. Usagi then jumped to Venus's height and smashed her back into the ground. "I should kill you," said Usagi as she readied her sword. The scouts could only look on in horror.
"Venus" shouted Pluto as she ran towards Usagi.
Usagi then swiftly avoided Pluto's attack, and countered with one of her own. Pluto was sent flying into a tree. A sickening crack could be heard as Pluto made contact with the tree. "Count your self lucky sailor scouts. On normal day I wouldn't dare help you. However seeing as today is a special day you managed to catch the softer side of me. Don't misunderstand me. We are enemies," said Usagi from under her hood.
"Who are you?" asked Venus as she struggled to get up.
"Can't you tell, I'm an orochi," said Usagi before she teleported to her new location.
"The negative energy from the orochi is gone," said Mercury.
"Hey were do you think Usagi and Miyako are?" asked Neptune.
"Who are you guys and how do you know them?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Well we better be going," said Mars as Venus leaned on her for support. Uranus had picked up the fallen Pluto before the scouts quickly made there leave.
"You idiots," screamed Miyako as she returned to the dark moon.
"What did we do na?" asked Nekoko.
"Who was the moron that sent down that yoma?" asked Miyako.
"Clam down, getting upset over something that has already happened won't solve anything" said Tsubasa.
"Usagi suffered because of that yoma" said Miyako.
"Hey just cause you have a soft spot for Usagi, sis," snickered Girochi.
"Oh shut up," yelled Miyako as she blushed a little.
"Don't worry I'm sure Usagi will be fine," said Reiko.
"Oh and what make's you so sure," said Karona.
"She is the first neck, Ms. 69th. She is a lot tougher then she looks," said Reiko.
"Oh what do you know," replied Karona.
"Be quite Ms. 69th. This is due in a week," said Reiko as she continued working on her book.
"That's it I'm calling your editor," said Karona. (A/N the part at the very end was a little excerpt from kannazuki. Again I found it amusing so I thought you might enjoy it. Also I still don't own anything.)
"Were do you think Usagi went?" asked Mrs. Tsukino as she, Mr. Tsukino and Ms. Haruna stood out side the school building.
"I'm not sure but I'm sure she would return home eventually. So I suggest that you just wait at home for a while and if she doesn't come back or call by dark then you should call the police," suggested Ms. Haruna.
"Alright. Thanks for you time today," said Mr. Tsukino before he lead his wife home.
"No problem," said Ms. Haruna as they parted. Ms. Haruna returned to her class room to grab the rest of her belongings. Once she was done she headed to her car and began to drive home. However she stopped abruptly and got out of her car when she saw Usagi walking down the street. "Usagi," called Ms. Haruna.
Usagi stopped and turned around to see who had called her name. "Ms. Haruna, what are you doing here?" asked Usagi.
"I was on my way home. Are you alright?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why?" questioned Usagi.
"That yoma thing was after you so I wondered if you were alright," replied Ms. Haruna.
"Oh ok. Well I guess I should be going," said Usagi.
"Here let me give a ride," said Ms. Haruna.
"I'm not going home at the moment," said Usagi.
"Even still. I don't think you should be alone," said Ms. Haruna.
"It's ok. I can take care of my self. I've been doing it all my life," said Usagi.
"So. Here why don't we go do what you want to get done and then I'll take you home. I promise I won't ask any questions or anything" said Ms. Haruna with a smile.
"Alright," said Usagi as she and Ms. Haruna got into the car. "Thanks," said Usagi.
"Don't worry about it" said Ms. Haruna as they began driving.
After a little while they passed a flower shop. "Do you think you could stop there for a minute?" asked Usagi.
"Sure," replied Ms. Haruna as she stopped the car.
"Thanks," replied Usagi as she got out of the car. Usagi entered the shop and returned a few minutes later with a dozen roses and a bag full of gardening tools.
"Date tonight?" teased Ms. Haruna.
"I guess you could say that. Today is a special day," said Usagi with a small smile. "There is only one store that we need to stop at."
"Alright where to?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"The store across the street from Tokyo cemetery," said Usagi as Ms. Haruna began to drive.
A few minutes later they arrived at the store. Usagi got out of the car, walked into the store and bought what she needed. A few mintues later she exited the store only this time she didn't go to the car. Instead she began to walk her way over to the cemetery. "Usagi are you alright?" asked Ms. Haruna as she got out of her car.
"I thought you weren't going to ask any questions," said Usagi with a small smile, before she started to laugh a little bit.
"Your right" said Ms. Haruna as she too began to laugh. "Would you like some help?" asked Ms. Haruna once they were done laughing.
"Yeah, I guess. Could you grab the flowers and the bag on the floor?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah sure," relied Ms. Haruna as she opened the car door and got what Usagi was asking for.
"Thanks," said Usagi.
Usagi and Ms. Haruna then began to cross the street and then walked into the cemetery. "Usagi where are we going" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Were almost their" said Usagi as she got off the path they were on. A few minutes later the pair stood in front of an old looking grave.
"I always feel bad when looking at a tomb stone like this," said Ms. Haruna.
"Why is that?" asked Usagi.
"Because I would hate to have my tomb stone neglected" said Ms. Haruna.
"Sometimes it can't be helped," said Usagi.
"That's not true," replied Ms. Haruna.
"Isn't it though?" questioned Usagi.
"No if we all did our part by making sure our own family tombs were nice then maybe people would come and visit the cemetery more. This place is so dreadfully. It's like once you come here to visit someone, people stop loving the person that they cared about because their dead," said Ms. Haruna.
"They don't stop," said Usagi as she began pulling out the weeds from around the tomb. "It just hurts too much to remember them. You try to forget, but no matter how much you try you never really forget that memory of the one you loved. They linger in your past, in your memories. They joy felt with them the, they happiness you shared along with the good times and the bad times. As you try to forget them you feel guilty and remember them. Evan if there face as long faded the feelings they left are still intact. People don't come here much because they don't want to feel as if they disappointed the person they try so hard to forget about."
'Usagi when did you, become so wise' wondered Ms. Haruna as she began to help Usagi with the tomb. Ms. Haruna notices a small but sad smile on Usagi's face. 'What happened to the bubbly Usagi that I know?' wondered Ms. Haruna.
The scouts headed back to Rei's temple after de-transforming. "Minako, what happened?" asked Sentsuna, who was on Haruka's back.
"We got the crap beaten out of us by and orochi" replied Minako from Rei's back.
"Does anyone why the yoma chased after Usagi like that?" asked Hotaru.
"No but the women looked just like Usagi. They could have been twins," replied Rei. 'My Usagi, are you alright' wondered Michiru.
"How do you think Usagi, is holding up?" asked Michiru. 'Usagi, were the hell are you?' thought Michiru.
"I'm not sure. She really doesn't talk about our betrayal much. I know she is still hurting form it, but anytime I try to apologies for it she either changes topics, finds an excuse to leave or space's out and doesn't hear me," replied Makoto.
"We really need to sit down with her and talk to her," said Ami.
"Yeah we do," replied Mamoru as he joined the group.
"I want to know what's going on with moon face," said Galaxia as and the starlight's joined the group.
"Don't we all," said Rei shortly.
"We need to figure out the best way to protect Usagi. It's obvious that the orochi are after her," said Haruka.
"True, Usagi is the key in defeating them. I mean if I was an orochi I wouldn't waste time going after use. I would target the weakest link and knock them out," said Seiya.
"It's just too bad that Usagi is the weakest one amongst us" said Yaten.
"Mamoru, how is Chibi-Usa holding up?" asked Taiki.
"Not good. She can't even get out of bed anymore. She is fading fast now," said Mamoru sadly.
"We have to fix this. The future princess is counting on us," said Setsuna.
"Chibi-Usa, needs us" agreed Haruka.
'Like hell I'm helping Mamoru take my Usagi. Hurry up and fade away Chibi-Usa. You don't belong here. All you did was hurt Usagi' thought Michiru.
'Good I'm glad that brat is disappearing. She was nothing more then a pain in the ass for Usagi' thought Rei.
'Isn't that Usagi and Ms. Haruna?' wondered Makoto as she saw the pair enter Tokyo cemetery. "Hey guys I'll catch up with you later," said Makoto as she looked toward the cemetery.
"Were are you going?" asked Mamoru.
"It's not exactly safe to be out by your self" said Michiru. 'Which is why we need to find my Usagi' thought Michiru.
"It's nothing really I just want to visit my parents that's all," said Makoto.
"Do you want me to go with you?" asked Ami.
"No. It's alright. I want to be alone for this. No offence," said Makoto as she gave her girlfriend a peck on the lips.
"Don't worry. I'm not upset. I know how much they mean to you," said Ami.
"Thanks Ami," said Makoto before she gave Ami one last kiss.
"Will see you back at the temple later?" questioned Rei.
"You can count on it," said Makoto as she ran off to the cemetery.
"It's starting to look better," said Ms. Haruna, after awhile.
"It is," said Usagi as she looked back at there work. They had managed to clear most of the dead leaves and weeds from around the base of the tomb stone.
"Usagi, Ms. Haruan what are you guys doing here?" asked Makoto walked over to them.
"What does it look like were doing?" replied Usagi.
"Oh right," said Makoto as she noticed the pile of weeds and flowers that had yet to be planted.
"Makoto, what are you doing here?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"I was visiting my parents," replied Makoto.
Makoto then kneeled down to Usagi and Ms. Haruna's level. She then began to planet some of the flowers Usagi had bought. Eventually the followers were all planted and then the small group began to clean the stone. After about an hours work they had finally finished cleaning off all the grime and mildew off the stone, and planting all the flowers. "I mean no disrespect, but what was the point of that?" asked Makoto as the group stood up.
"I don't really know Usagi was the one that wanted to come here," said Ms. Haruna as she and Makoto looked at Usagi.
"I told you it was a special day," said Usagi as she laid the dozen roses across the grass in front of the tomb stone. "Makoto do you talk to your parents when you visit them?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah. Evan then though I know they are dead it just…comforting. I can't really explain it," said Makoto.
"You mean to say, that you in way it feels as if their still alive. That they are just listing and even though you know they can't responded you can't help believe that will. That they, will make everything better. Or that this world is nothing more then a dream that you wish to wake up from," said Usagi as she stared at the tomb.
"Usagi," said Ms. Haruan.
"Usagi, how would you know that feeling?" asked Makoto.
"Maybe I should try talking to you again. But I know that you can't hear me, you can't forgive me for what I have done to you," said Usagi.
"Usagi," said Ms. Haruna as she gave Usagi a hug.
"Can you see me now?" asked Usagi, lost in her own world.
"I think she is just lost in her own though," said Makoto.
"What about the Tsukino's? Can you see them? Do you even like them?" asked Usagi as if there was no one here.
"Why would she ask about her parents?" questioned Ms. Haruna after she let go of Usagi.
"Do you know Makoto's parents?" asked Usagi.
"Ok Usagi, your starting to creeping me out," said Makoto.
"Oh I'm sorry, where are my manners? Makoto, Ms. Haruna, this is my mom, my birth mother. Mother this is my friend Makoto and my teacher Ms. Haruna," said Usagi as she looked at her mom's tomb.
"Usagi" said Ms. Haruan and Makoto in shock.
"I'm sorry I haven't come to visit you. I just couldn't. It hurts too much. I tried so hard to forget you and then today, when the yoma turned into you I just…why did you have to go?" said Usagi as tears stared to fall. "I shouldn't blame you. It's not your fault that your dead. It's mine. If I did drag you to the park fifteen years ago or if I hadn't be so upset about that balloon then that drunk driver never would have hit you. Then you would still be here with me and everything would be alright. This world wouldn't be hell. But don't worry I'll save this world. I'll save it for you," said Usagi as she cried.
"Usagi I'm so sorry," said Makoto as she hugged her friend.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just come back," said Usagi as she fell to her knees.
"Usagi it's going to be alright," said Ms. Haruna as she gave Usagi a hug. 'What's this that I am feeling' woundered Ms. Haruna.
Usagi stayed in the arms of her two companions and cried for what seemed like hours. After awhile Usagi had managed to claim her self down. "I'm sorry you took so long," said Usagi.
"It's alright," said Ms. Haruna.
"Do you want to talk about it" said Makoto.
"Not right now. I just want to go home" said Usagi.
"Alright" said Ms. Haruna as she helped Usagi to her feet.
"Thanks for your help," said Usagi.
"Don't worry about," replied Makoto.
"It was fun" said Ms. Haruna as she led the two students to her car. "Come on Usagi, lets get you back" said Ms. Haruna as she tried not to say home, or parents, seeing that it may up set Usagi.
Usagi nodded her head as she got into the car with Makoto. "Usagi, do you want me to stay with you tonight?" asked Makoto. Usagi just nodded her head yes. "Alright," said Makoto as she gave her friend another hug in the car.
"Makoto, Do you know how to get to Usagi's house?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Yeah," replied Makoto.
After a fifteen minute Ms. Haruna pulled into Usagi's drive way. "Here we are. Nice house Usagi," said Ms. Haruna.
"Thanks" said Usagi with a small smile.
"Makoto, can I trust you to look after Usagi?" said Ms. Haruan.
"Of course" said Makoto as she helped Usagi get out of the car.
"Why don't you come in" suggested Usagi.
"I couldn't impose" said Ms. Haruna.
"You said it your self, we shouldn't be alone this late" said Usagi.
"Usagi's right you shouldn't be by your self" said Makoto. 'Hurry up and leave. I want to spend some time with Usagi by my self' thought Makoto.
"I," started Ms. Haruna.
"Dinners almost ready at least stay for that. As a thanks, for everything you did for me today" said Usagi.
"Still," insisted Ms. Haruna.
"Please," begged Usagi.
'Go. Hurry up and go' thought Makoto.
"I couldn't intrude on you like that Usagi" said Ms. Haruna. 'Usagi' thought Ms. Haruna.
"Please. I don't want you to go" said Usagi with a small but sad smile.
"Alright" said Ms. Haruna. 'What?! I did not just agree to stay at Usagi's house' thought Ms. Haruna. Sure enough her hands turned the keys, which shut the ignition of her car off. 'No what I am I doing?' wondered Ms. Haruna as she got out of the car.
'Usagi, What the hell are you thinking. I want you to myself. Now that Chibi-Usa is disappearing…were did these thoughts come from? I have Ami' though Makoto.
The trio walked up to Usagi's house and then entered. "Usagi," cried Mrs. Tsukino as Usagi walked in with her friends. "I was so worried," said Mrs. Tsukino as she hugged her daughter.
"Makoto, Ms. Haruna what brings you hear?" asked Mr. Tsukino.
"Usagi didn't want to be alone," said Makoto for the both of them.
"Sorry I didn't mean to intrude," said Ms. Haruna.
"Don't worry your not intruding. Please don't feel as if you are" said Mr. Tsukino.
"Sammy, set two more places at the dinner table" called Mrs. Tsukino.
"I just realized something" said Mr. Tsukino.
"What's that?" asked Usagi.
"The gust room is still full of junk and unusable. Where is Ms. Haruna going to sleep?" asked Mr. Tsukino.
"She can sleep with me and Makoto," said Usagi. This of course caused Ms. Haruna to go beat red. "It's not like were going to do anything anyway" said Usagi. "Is that alright with you Ms. Haruna?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah that will be fine," replied Ms. Haruna who was still red. 'Usagi why did you have to say that?' wondered Ms. Haruna.
'Usagi, What the hell? I can't even get you alone for 2 minutes' screamed Makoto in her head.
"Well at least you'll get up for school on time" said Ms. Tsukino, which caused the group to crack up.
"This is true. Usagi you will actually be on time for once" said Ms. Haruna.
After which Ms. Tsukino ushered everyone into the dining room for dinner. Once dinner was over Usagi, Makoto and Ms. Haruna headed up to Usagi's room. "Here you might want these," said Usagi as she handed Ms. Haruna a pair of pjs.
"Thanks. Umm where is your bathroom?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Down the hall and second door on the left," said Usagi.
"Thanks," said Ms. Haruna as she left the room.
"Do the scouts know that you are staying hear?" asked Usagi.
"No I guess I should call them," said Makoto.
"You might want to do that," said Usagi as she got out the items that she retrieved from earlier in the day.
Makoto then proceeded, to call Ami. "Ami here," said Ami over the communicator.
"Ami" said Makoto with a smile.
"Makoto, where are you?" asked Ami with concern in her voice.
"I'm at Usagi's house. I don't have much time because Ms. Haruna is staying the night here as well and she might be back any second. We are all kind of crammed into Usagi's room. I just wanted to let you know that I was alright," explained Makoto.
"Ok I'll see you tomorrow then?" asked Ami with a little disappointment in her voice.
"Yeah. I'm sorry Ami," said Makoto.
"Don't worry. I know you didn't mean to…it's just that I miss you being here with me," said Ami sadly.
"I know. I love you," said Makoto.
"I love you too," said Ami.
"Night," said Makoto with a small smile.
"Night," said Ami before she hung up.
"What are you looking at Usagi?" asked Ms. Haruna as she entered the room and sat down by Usagi.
"Just some stuff that I got today," replied Usagi.
"Is this what you got when you missed this morning?" asked Makoto as she came and sat down by her friend.
"Yeah, I went back to the apparment that I used to live in when I was a kid," said Usagi.
"You still remember were you lived as a kid?" questioned Ms. Haruna as she unconsciously wrapped an arm around Usagi's waist. 'What the hell am I doing?' wondered Ms. Haruna.
'Haruna, What the hell are you doing to my…never mind Usagi is not mine' thought Makoto.
"Yeah. I could never forget that place," said Usagi with such bitterness that it scared them.
"Is that your mom?" asked Ms. Haruna.
"Yeah," replied Usagi with a small smile.
"Usagi, you look just like her" said Makoto.
"Thanks. I always dreamed of looking like her. And then when she died I didn't want to be like her anymore," said Usagi sadly.
"What was she like?" asked Makoto.
"She was loving, caring, she would do anything for me. She was always there when I needed her. She always had time for me, even if she was in the middle of doing something she would stop whatever she was doing for me," said Usagi as tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Usagi why don't we go to bed," suggested Makoto.
"It was today, fifteen years ago, when I was three that she took me to the park," started Usagi. Usagi then proceeded to tell them about how her mother died and her final words to Usagi. By the end Usagi was crying once again and both women were hanging onto Usagi.
"Shhh. Usagi It wasn't your fault," said Ms. Haruna as Makoto glared at her.
"Ms. Haruna is right. It was the drunk drivers fault," said Makoto.
'Back off Makoto' thought Ms. Haruna. 'What am I thinking? She is my student' "You were just acting like any three year old wood. There is no way that you would have known anything different" said Ms. Haruna.
Usagi just continued to cry as her friend and teacher soothed her. Eventually she fell asleep. Shortly after Ms. Haruna and Makoto joined her. Once Usagi was sure that they were sleeping, She teleported to the dark moon, without using the orochi's power. "Reiko, I have a job for you" said Usagi, with a wicked grin, as she arrived on her pillar.
