After the battle, we changed back into our ordinary clothes. Mamoru was looking at me still after Katronite had flew away, his face had an awkward expression that i hadn't seen before. i frown back.

"Usako.." he begins.

"Yes?" i ask bravely.

"When you saw Katronite, it wasn't what you thought. she came back but she was implanting something in my neck, when you thought we were kissing she was biting." Mamoru tries to explain.

Ami revealed herself from behind. "I can prove that correct or incorrect with my computer!" she whipped out her cyan computer with Mercury symbol in gold and sapphire glasses. i stood next to her as she scanned his neck. i saw a little red egg shape in his next and several numbers, it looked like a diamon egg.

"That's strange, the professor was cured, Hotary's father could not of made it himself."

"Katronite was going on about an independant villain and maybe she chose him to take pure hearts with her." i weaken.

"Let's face it, i am stunningly handsome!" Mamoru joked, though he seemed near tears.

i knew why she chose him, because he's dear to my heart. it's my fault. i'm hurting those i love. i run up to him and hug him close.

"Mamo-Chan." i whisper. "I won't let her change you." i begin to cry myself.

"Usagi!" Rei whines. "None of us will, we must protect our prince and princess, it's our code- right scouts?" everyone nodded, and interrupted Mamoru's time with me for a group hug.

"Don't forget us!" Artemis comes out with Luna next to him.

"Your late!" complains Minako.

But they leap up to join our hug, we're all together, but when i look up a swirl of dark clouds are here. Surely, it's not another storm? i feel Mamoru growing slightly, he gives a groan as he then falls to the floor...
