A/N: I'm still working on this. (: It was a short chapter, sorry. But I wanted to use this as a way to build suspense. XD At least it's something.

XXThe wish GranterXX: Thank you for understanding (: I don't want to give up on this after I've taken this so far. I'll make sure I finish it even if it takes me years LOL

JPandS: I managed to reinvent some ideas and I still remember a few of the ideas I had intended for this story. Hopefully it works out well. I hope you like the update! (:

ImsostupidIcankillu: Why do you bother reading/reviewing this story? I'm not asking you specifically to read this. If you feel like I can't finish this and that I'm a loser, then you don't have to read this story. But this update shows that I'm trying my damned hardest to complete my goal of finishing a story. All I said was that I was having trouble with this. So what if I'm having trouble completing this? That doesn't make me stupid. I've put up with your last rude comments—don't ready this story if you feel like I'm not going to finish it.

Love Alone

Usagi watched unenthusiastically as Darien rummaged through his pockets and his wallet. There was a look of panic and terror on his face. "Are you sure my card is being declined?" he arched a brow up at the waitress. The waitress impatiently tapped her foot. "I'm positive, sir. Shall I go get the manager? There are customers I have to serve." Without letting him answer, she slapped the check along with multiple of his cards onto the table and abruptly left.

In her place, came a tall, feminine looking man. In some ways, he looked like Darien—except he had blonde hair and looked slightly more charming. "Is there any problem, sir?" the manager asked. Usagi gasped.

"Haruka!" her hands covered her mouth and she flushed red. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout." She stated, politely. Haruka eyed her and smirked. "Usa, is that you? It's been far too long. You've matured…" she glanced back at Darien then turned to Usagi again. "Is that your boyfriend?" she questioned.

Usagi smiled. "Fiancé." She uttered softly. Haruka nodded with a smile and turned to Darien with a sigh.

"You don't have any more credit in your credit cards. Have you been using them heavily this past month?" she questioned him with concern. Darien shook his head and rubbed his chin in thought. "I haven't used them once this month—I think. I don't remember bringing them out at all, to be honest." He looked embarrassed. He turned to Usagi with a pleading look and mouthed out. "I'm sorry." Without so much as uttering a sound.

Usagi nodded understandingly and gently placed her hand on Haruka's arm. "Haruka, I'll pay. Don't worry about a thing." She reassured her. Haruka frowned. "But look at you. You've ordered and eaten so much food. You're paying for everything?" she looked at her in disbelief and showed her the check. Usagi gasped.

"I think—crap. I mean—what if I can only pay half of the check?" It was Usagi's turn to look embarrassed. Haruka laughed. "The other half is on me. You'd better invite Michiru and I to your wedding, all right?" she patted her back playfully. Usagi smiled wryly. "Sure thing, Haruka. Thank you so much. By the way," Usagi rubbed her chin. "I didn't know you worked as a manager!"

Haruka laughed. "It's a part time job. I like to keep myself busy the whole day. If I'm not racing in any cars, then I might as well be doing something else."

Heero smirked at the computer screen. Darien was officially bankrupt. He couldn't keep his pharmaceutical company if he had no money. He had nothing left. "Let's see how long you'll last with your love for Usagi—and only your love with Usagi alone."
