Chapter 8: That Tanabata Incident Six Years Ago

Six Years Before Present Time...

Usagi's POV

It had been a little over four years since the Senshi had split. I had married my beloved Mamo-chan after daddy gave us his blessings. And now the next stage with my dear husband as I carried our child had consumed my memories.

Months of planning for the newest arrival came with bittersweet memories: that night when we were going to be parents, our beloved child died: a stillborn, a little girl. The doctors allowed us to spend time with our child weeping and holding her for hours on end until it was time we gave the child to the doctors. Heaviness weighed down on my heart, tears fell upon my face; my life came crashing down.

My child, my beloved child died. What did I do to deserve this?

It is the Tanabata this weekend and Mamo-chan suggested that we attend the Asagaya Tanabata Festival and I agreed; I mean, what could go wrong, right?

Mamoru's POV

Usako and I had been trying to have a family, but no such luck. The baby would not live through the pregnancy, in which, I mean either Usako would miscarry or we will suffer the same fate with the first born.

We decided to take a break from having any children and I suggested going to the Asagaya Tanabata Festival so that Usako could take her mind off losing yet another child.

At the Tanabata Festival...

Usagi's POV

I was pulling Mamo-chan along the streets as I looked up at the massive floating paper-mâché floats when I saw a familiar flash of blue and I found myself go red as anger whelmed within me.

Across the Chiba couple, Ami bit back a giggle when she saw Rei hide a wince from the sudden brain-freeze after he took a bite from the kakigōri they had bought from the ice shaving vendor a while back. "Don't eat so fast." the blue-haired woman chided.

"Yes, dear." Rei gave his date a teasing grin when his danger senses went on high alert. "Good day." he greeted the Chiba couple, Usagi had angrily pulled Mamoru with her as she stormed over to the couple.

"How is it even possible?" Usagi demanded. "How is it even possible that you, Mizuno, are allowed happiness when you destroyed my happiness?"

Ami and Rei looked at each other, then at the fuming blond and it was Ami who answered, "Don't you even pin this on me, Tsukino-san, or is it Chiba-san, now? It's not my fault that you insist on being the center of attention; quite possibly the reason why you aren't happy is because you can't accept that fact that the world doesn't revolve around you."

"How dare you!" Usagi roared, grabbing Ami by the arm.

"And pray, why are you getting upset with me?" Ami questioned.

"Why?" Usagi scoffed. "You stole Chibi-Usa and my two sons from me!" People started crowding around the two couples, wondering what is going on. "You don't deserve to be happy! You should have been miserable!"

It was then Rei stepped in, yakking Usagi's hand away from his girlfriend. "You won't touch her!" He glared, resting his strong hand on Ami's back, before turning to Mamoru, his expression darkening, "I've never in my life seen two grown adults act like children; it's both pathetic and embarrassing and to think my girlfriend used to consider the two of you as among her best friends."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Usagi snapped.

"I'm referring to a self-centered woman who feels the world should be handed to her on a sliver platter." Rei turned his glare at Usagi. "No wonder you can't reproduce, you are nothing more then a little girl yourself. You love to make others miserable because you can't handle the fact that they can be happy with what they have and you can't." he retorted and led his date off.

Both Mamoru and Usagi stood in silence as the couple walked off, and it took the married couple a minute to register what was going around them; their faces burned with embarrassment at the scene they caused.

As Rei and Ami vanished into the crowd, Usagi could not help, but feel rather envious of her former friend; not only had Ami grown more beautiful, she also had a handsome and very loving boyfriend. And most of all, if her clothes were anything to go by, Ami was obviously doing way better than she was.

Later that night...

Usagi's POV

I hate her. My mind reeled with such rage; I could only think about how lucky of a life she is living as of this very moment and here both Mamo-chan and I are the miserable ones. It's like God has been blessing her through these years and cursing me. I hate that traitor! She shouldn't be happy when she was the one who betrayed me! Mamo-chan and I tried so hard, but not only did my daughter die, but several others after she passed away! I can see her laughing and smiling at her lover, not even bothering with that fact that I can't ascend the throne as Queen of Crystal Tokyo. It is like she doesn't even care about destroying my perfect future.
