Across the palace, in the hospital wing, Minako was walking to take her break with her dear Andrew. She spent everyday talking to him, silently hoping he would find his way back to her, as a patient in a coma would. She just remembered the time that Usagi was put to sleep by the youma years before and Mamoru was able to break her from the sleep. She loved him with all of her heart and he couldn't wake up. She was the soldier of love, why couldn't she have been spared of having her love dangled in front of her only to be yanked away. She saw Usagi down the hall talking to a member of her staff, and quietly slipped into the observatory to see her love. Something was missing, that precious face that had kept her sane for all these years was gone. She felt her composure slipping, where was he? She ran to the table in the middle where stacks of papers had been collected. Nothing. She ran to the door and flung it open, not caring if her secret journeys were revealed.
"Where is he?" she said softly, but repeating it louder as the queen came into view. "Where is he?" she felt her hands begin to moisten and tears cloud her eyes as she began to shake. Usagi wouldn't have moved him anywhere, at least not without telling her first. "Usa!" she called as her queen came rushing toward her. "Usagi, where is he? I need him, Usagi!"
"Shh. Its okay," she quieted Minako, but she was already close to a break down. "Come with me, quickly. I will explain this to you." I was reluctant. What had she done? Had she lost her mind? Minako needed to see him. If he was gone she would just die! It was then that she realized the direction that her dearest leader and friend was taking her. To her apartment bloc, just through a crystal tunnel into the building next to the palace's main structure. She recognized her door, as they passed it and continued to the next bloc that had been vacant.
"Detransform," she commanded. Minako had no idea what to expect. She felt a sudden elation as her heart leapt in hope. She quickly complied with her queen and then Usagi grasped the doorknob turning it and glanced inside, then entered quietly pulling Minako with her. She led her to the bedroom area. The door was left open. Mina could barely move. She heard breathing and could see someone sleeping. She detected Usa retreating behind her, but she moved forward into the unlit room. Her lover's face remained peaceful as she looked upon it. She brushed some of his hair out of his eyes as a tear hit his face. His countenance scrunched up as his eyes opened. After a moment of recognition, he was up quickly kissing every part of her face feasible. She held him and allowed him to kiss her tears of joy away. No words were needed now, they both retreated to the bed and lay with each other, memorizing each other's every cell, every touch, and every motion. They were complete in each other, and that was all that mattered.
