Usagi stared at the mirror with a concerned expression. The young woman stood with only a plain bra and sweatpants dressing her body. Her eyebrows furrowed as she noticed a strange mark in the middle of her chest. She had never noticed such a flaw marking her skin before. Perhaps it was because the scar was so faint that it only appeared when positioned in a certain light.

"Usako, what's the matter," Mamoru asked his wife as he wrapped his arms around her bare midriff.

"Have you noticed this scar before?" She asked as her dainty fingers traced the raised vertical line that ran faintly across the skin of the middle of her chest.

"What about it, love?"

"It's from… I think it's from when I was Princess Serenity. I read somewhere that scars you can't recall marking you, and also birthmarks, are signs of how you died in your previous life…and this is the exact same place where…"

Mamoru's hands fluttered where the scar was located, causing her to lips to cease from moving as he felt the elevated scar, "The past will always haunt us, but we never succumb to the depressing feelings that it carries. Your scar reminds you that you will always have challenges to face, but you can overcome them."

"Yes, because committing suicide was the best way to overcome my battles," Usagi sighed.

Mamoru rested his chin upon her shoulder and smiled delicately to his significant other in the reflection of the mirror, "You were in a devastating moment in your life. You're a much different person now and a hell of a lot stronger."

"I love you, Mamo-chan. You're the reason why I'm so strong," she smiled brightly back to her husband.


I'm so sorry this is so short! I've been really busy with school, writing my other fanfic, and coming up with scenes for one-shots! If you have any ideas, let me know!

Hopefully the delay between one-shots won't be so long since I'm not so busy anymore with midterms and such. Keep fingers crossed!

Also, I would like to thank all of those who have reviewed, favorited, and/or followed "My Heart Beats For Only You"; it means so much to know that so many of you enjoy reading my material!

Please review!
