People, this is really sad. Why is it, that at the end of my, or any other story, the reviews seem to just lessen. Isn't it suppose to be the opposite. You gain the reviews as your story goes?? -Hmph-......I was tempted to just stop writing this story all together, but I do have some faithful reviewers.....I'm writing this for them. Thank you to all those that keep reviewing my story....It helps to know that there are some that wont stop giving their thoughts and opinions on my stories. (Lil me has been getting sentimental about that....sorry if I seem to be a tad rude about it, don't mean to)

Do not and never will own Sailor Moon. It belongs to that bloody brilliant woman by the name of Takeuchi Naoko.

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

Mamoru couldn't help but feel something was terribly wrong. He felt the pain embed itself within his chest. Something terrible was happening with Usagi, he could bet his life on it.

He walked out of his bedroom, unable to sleep. Stepping into the living room, he sat down on his dark couch, thinking to himself.

The drapes of the huge window were left open, and the view was everything but less than amazing. The lights of Tokyo shined brightly, like the stars of the galaxy. Just like Usagi would, on any day.

It was utterly frustrating to know that your loved one was in danger, and you didn't know where the hell they were and if that were even alright.

He ran his hands through his tangled hair...letting out a miserable sigh. He reached over to the table next to him, lifting a small locket in the shape of a star. He traced the edges of it with his fingers, then opened it. A tune echoed throughout the apartment, sending shivers down his spine.

It was their song

The song that they vowed eternal love to each other more than a millennia ago.

He hummed along with it for a second of two, then slowly turned the locket over.

'Forever and always'

He smiled a bit at the inscription on it. When did she engrave this?

Giving a light shrug, he tucked the small golden item in his pocket. He opened the balcony and stepped out, feeling the cold breeze dance upon his fair skin. The moonlight draped the city in silver sparkles. Looking down, he was greeted with racing dots, and loud yells of angry children begging for sleep. 'It's never a quiet night' he thought.

His thoughts once again raced back towards his blonde blue eyed heroin. He's tried to communicate telepathically with her, but it seems as though she doesn't want him in. He couldn't understand why though. In these times of desperation, she should be trying to communicate with them so they would know where to go, but nooooo. Usagi always had to do everything the hard way.

'Usagi.....Dear Usako....please answer me"

'M-Mamo-chan?' a soft voice whispered into his mind. His heart nearly jumped with joy.

'Oh Usako!!!! Where are you, are you okay?' he asked desperately. He wanted to know that she was alive and well, and nothing was wrong. For deep in his heart, he knew otherwise.

'It's terrible Mamo-chan....Shingo.....he....he' a hiccup cut her off. He could feel her soul aching.

'Calm down, love. What happened?' he tried his best to reach out to her, to comfort her, but it seemed that it didn't help her at all. She continued to sob softly into his ear, he could almost feel her tears sliding down his cheek.

'He's dead!.....Right in front of me....I-I...I couldn't do anything' her voice dropped down below a whisper, making it very hard for him to decipher what was said. The moment her sobs picked up again, he understood. Her moans were heartbreaking.

'Usako...listen to me....do you know where you are??'

'I couldn't do anything...he died' she kept whispering over and over again.

This was getting him nowhere. 'Usa, I need to know. Do you know where you are?'

'Nothing.....I did nothing.............I......let him die' her voice filled with agony...she paused more between her words, making them softer, filled with guilt. She was stuck on the death of her brother....he couldn't shake her out of it. It was useless.

'Usagi!!!'

Nothing.......

She had closed herself off once more....trapped in her own pain and anguish.

---------

"What?!!??!" Luna shouted, angry with herself for not knowing what was going on. She was wrapped up on the situation going on with Artemis and.....her new daughter, she had completely forgotten about Usagi and the Scouts. She had been in England, working...in her human form, of course. Now that Usagi had defeated Chaos, there was no point in staying hidden as a cat from enemies.

"Luna, please calm down. Usagi has been...well....taken. We don't know where she is currently but Ami and Rei are working on that!" Minako said, trying her best to calm the huffing dark haired woman. Luna kept pacing the room, back and forth.....mumbling about how stupid she was of leaving the Scouts to fend for themselves. A stab to all the girls hearts.

"We tried our best! It's something we were never expecting" Minako yelled out in defense.

Luna whirled around a gave Minako a glare. "Not expecting it, you say??.....Minako...That's when they always attack!!!! When you least expect it!" she hissed. Her eyes glowing with fire. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

"Arguing is not going to bring her back. We are all to blame. Us, for not paying close attention and you.....for leaving your charge" Ami pointed out, pushing her glasses up. Luna shot her a sadden look, and closed her mouth. How was she to argue with that?

------

Pluto gazed down, gripped her staff. The worse was to come.

"Pluto? Are you leaving now?" Selenity asked desperately. She walked over to her green haired friend, placing her soft hand upon her shoulder.

Pluto gave a slow nod, and faced her queen. "I'm not sure you wish to see what's to come. It still remains your choice. Will you observe it?"

'Can I really watch my only daughter suffer?' .....she sighed, breaking the silence between the two. "I wish to know the outcome of my hime's trial" she stated in a calm voice. It betrayed everything she felt at the moment. She was anything but calm

"As you wish. I take my leave. My part places in action in a few. I leave the gates under your care. Farewell, your Highness" she gave an awkward curtsey, and faded away.

------

A loud beep echoed throughout the room, breaking the silence and heavy tension.

Ami ran to the desk, and clicked on a button, turning on a small screen. She picked up the small computer and smiled. "I found her!!"

Everyone ran to her, and looked at the screen. "Where is that?" Minako asked.

"At first, I hoped that she was on Earth, but it seemed that she wasn't. So instead I broadened my search to be of all planets beyond Pluto. Lets face it, if she were on one of those planets, we would have sensed her, as well as any spaceship close to it. She's on-"

"Nemesis" came anothers' reply. A mysterious tone surrounding it.

Ami looked over her shoulder and was met with deep garnet eyes. Ami smiled slightly before being overcome with anger. "If you knew were she was, and what was happening, why did you tell us?!!?"

Pluto looked at her calmly, before shifting her gaze over the other girls, unfazed, she answered "I do not answer to you" she said in a cold, hushed voice. She shifted her weight to her other foot, and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Where is Mamoru?"

Minako, not realizing the cold harsh tone of her fellow senshi, stood up and smiled "I don't know. He's most likely at his apartment...either asleep or to drunk to stand up" she let out a small giggle. "Or he could be wandering the streets, kicking cans...or he could simply be stuck in the toilet. I simply hate it when that happens!!" she smacked her hand on her forehead dramatically and let out a loud exaggerated sigh.

"Minako....I suggest you sit down before you hurt yourself" Makoto whispered while dragging her over to the coach and pushing her down. Everyone else, except Pluto, erupted in laughter.

"This is not a laughing matter. If something is not done soon, than Usagi is the one that will pay the ultimate price" one simple statement. That was enough to get them to all quiet down. Rei fumbled with a piece of paper, before going over to the phone and dialed 7 numbers.

"Hai. Mamoru-san....we need you to come to the shrine as soon as possible" Rei said. She tapped her fingers on a small table, and shook her head.

"Iie, Usa is not here....but it's something about her" came her response. You could almost hear Mamoru talking, rather desperately over the phone.

"I don't know if she's alright" Rei began to get a tad irritated with all the questions that were coming her way. "I don't know...." she nodded her head and shook it as she spoke for another two minutes.

"I TOLD YOU, I. D O N'T K N O W!!!!!!! Just get over here, will ya? I'm not telling you anything else over the phone" with that, she hung up. Turning herself around, she smiled weakly. "He said he'll be here in a few"

--------

"You bastard!!!! How could you kill him???" Usagi shouted at the top of her lungs. She ran towards him, fists balled. Before she could get to him, a small green light shot her sprawling back. She landed painfully on her arm.

"Tsk tsk tsk...you have to learn how to behave princess, or I'll be forced to punish you"

"There is no greater punishment then watching your only family die in front of you" she growled at him. Her blue eyes looked on at him, watching his every move.

"Can you be sure about that?" he stood up from his green throne, and walked towards her. He kneeled down before her and cupped her face in his hands. "I'm sure there could be worse things" his cold breath caressed her face. She harshly yanked her head away from his grip.

"I beg to differ!" she yelled. Brining her hand up, she dropped it across his face. Diamond's eyes lit up, grabbing his cheek he stood up and kicked her. A loud gasp escaped her lips.

Usagi hugged her body with both her arms around her waist. Where she was previously hit. A warm sensation spread out through her body. It wasn't foreign to her. She had started to feel like this since she was around 15.

This time it was worse.

Her whole body seemed to be on fire...and yet she was cold. As though, her life was being sucked out of her. She started to rub her hands together, trembling.

"What's happening to me?" she asked with much effort. Her eyebrows crinkled at the pain.

A loud laugh captured her attention and she lifted her head to see him. He had a smug expression on his face. "That my dear, is the sensation of your essence being sucked out of your body"

"My what.....?" Usagi whispered, before she fainted from the overload of pain.

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

Well...you kinda know what's happening. (hehehe) I decided to end it there. The end is close.

Seriously though...I'm on the author alert of about 40 people....can those 40 people at least drop in and say hi once in a while? Is that to hard to ask?? (I guess so)

Anyways...next chapter should be out in a week or so. Depending on the reviews and stuff...(mumbles).
