This is my first story hope you like it. Morbid + Cliffhangers = Fun =) Thanks for reading and I don't own Sailor Moon.

It was about 5am by the time Makoto had gotten to the hospital she explained what happened to the nurses and handed Minako over.

"Well I might as well visit Usagi before I leave see how she's doing." Makoto thought to herself walking towards Usagi's room. Makoto reached Usagi's room and hesitated she didn't want to wake Usagi up by knocking but she didn't want to just barge in she ended up knocking anyway.

"Usagi you up?" Makoto whispered as she slowly opened the door

"Yeah but don't bee too loud." She said smiling as Makoto entered.

"I see you're looking better." Makoto said happily Usagi didn't have the oxygen mask on anymore and she had a lot of her color back.

"Why are you here this early?" Usagi asked concerned.

"Well Minako was attacked by the enemy." Makoto said looking down bracing herself for Usagi's yelling surprisingly Usagi didn't yell so Makoto looked up to see she was coughing silently into her hands. After taking a second to look in her hands Usagi balled her hands into fists and placed them on her lap she was now sitting up by herself she then looked seriously over to Makoto and asked with no hint of playfulness,

"What happened?"

"Well..." Makoto then explained how Minako had called her out of the blue using the communicator and said she had been attacked by the enemy and couldn't walk then she explained how she carried her here and decided to come visit Usagi and tell her what happened. Several times while Makoto was explaining Usagi coughed into her hands, balled them into fists and placed them on her lap Makoto took notice that Usagi was coughing more today then the last time she saw her Usagi brushed it off saying that the doctor told her she might have a little trouble breathing on her own and not to worry. After a long pause of silence Makoto asked,

"So how are you Usagi?"

"I'm doing better it's hard to use my left hand," she said flexing her fingers slightly, " and i can't really use my legs that well. The doctor said it's because they got infected he told me they were putting me on antibiotics so that should clear up in a few days but you know what?" Usagi said with a hint of teasing in her voice motioning Makoto to get closer.

"What I would really like to do," She dropped down to a whisper, " Is get up and go outside for some fresh air. Will you help me Makoto?" Usagi asked her eyes pleading.

"How could I say no to those eyes?" She said sighing getting up to help Usagi out of bed.

"No! I can get up by myself it's just the walking i need help with." Usagi said quickly. She pulled the sheets back slowly to avoid waking Mamoru revealing her scared legs. Most of the cuts had healed and left no scars but some of the deeper wounds had stitches in them leaving scars along her once flawless skin. Usagi then slowly swung her legs off the bed and gripping the side of the bed with both hands pushed herself up. Usagi managed to get up on her feet and then, holding up a hand to stop Makoto from helping her, took a step forward. Usagi's legs could handle the shift a movement and she crumpled to the floor hitting her head with an audible smack.

"Usagi! Are you ok?" Makoto asked rushing over to Usagi.

"ugh yeah I'm fine." Usagi said painfully as she reached for Makoto's outstretched hand. Makoto was about to grab her hand when she noticed blood on both of Usagi's hands.

"Usagi? Why is there blood on your hands?" Makoto asked concerned.

" I uh must of cut my hand." Usagi replied flustered.

"But this blood is dried. When did you cut it?" Makoto asked accusingly.

"I don't know I guess I didn't notice. Help me up?" Usagi asked trying to change the subject. Makoto then pulled Usagi up off the ground and wrapped her arm under Usagi's arm and around her waist.

"If you don't even notice when you cut your hand i don't think you should be getting out of bed yet." Makoto said turning Usagi back towards her bed.

"No! I want to go outside!" Usagi struggled to get out of Makoto's grasp then she picked her up and sat her back down on her bed and covered up her legs with the blanket.

"I'm doing it for your own good." Makoto said sternly planting herself in the chair at the foot of Usagi's bed.

"What are you doing?" Usagi asked confused.

"I don't trust that you won't try to get out of bed again so O'm staying until you fall asleep." She replied matter-o-factly

"Damn." Usagi thought " She saw right through me."

"Ok ok I'll go to bed." Usagi said laying back down and closing her eyes."

"Good." Makoto said crossing her arms. Little did she know that Usagi had blacked out.

At the enemy's base

"I see you have managed to get out of your chains if only for a short time." The man in the black cloak said calmly

"Yes although this body isn't strong enough yet I can still get around if i need to." The voice replied

"Will I ever get to see your beautiful face my lady?" The man asked pleadingly

"When I have the strength I once had until then I must stay in the shadows. The voice replied drifting off into echoes.

"My lady wait!" The man called quickly.

"You dare call me back?" The voice responded angrily.

"Yes my lady," the man said bowing, "I'm sorry but when do we start the next part of the plan?" There was a long pause before the voice finally answered.

"The next time I am able to get out of my chains. You shall lay down your life for our cause." By the time the echoes ended The man had left to prepare for what was to come next.
