~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time, shallow as it is, still brings up hauntingly
painful memories. What happens when soul bonds
are broken, promises of love and worship are untied
with Fate's very hands? Life becomes wrong, painful
and unbearable.
This is what happened to my best friend. It
isn't right. How much is she supposed to stand? I
get so angry with life, the fates and whoever has
control over this mess. Usagi doesn't deserve this
damn it! She needs to be happy for once! Why?!
I can't stand to look at her sad, lifeless face
anymore. Her pain reflects in her eyes that look
at me with longing written clearly. She wants him.
And only him. Why is that the one thing I can't
give her?
-Rei.

Hiya Sere-ittsuichan!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day dawned with gray, over cast skies.
It suited the mood Usagi had woken in. She felt so
alone, so abandoned. But she knew she had to let
Mamoru go without feeling bad. He wanted to go to
school in America so badly. And she wanted nothing
but his happiness. Even if it meant feeling this
sadness for the next two years.
The one thing that brought her comfort was on
her left ring finger. Her engagement ring. She smiled
slightly, remembering when he gave it to her.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Usako, please don't cry," Mamoru pleaded softly,
lifting Usagi's chin up so he could see her. Gently his
thumb brushed the slight drip of tears off her face and
he ran his palm soothingly over her cheek.
Usagi sniffed and attempted to hold in her sobs.
Her chest shook slightly, but she plastered on a small
smile. "Gomen nasai Mamo-chan... I know I should be
happy for you."
"And you are, Love. But you'll be lonely..."
he trailed off, holding her tight to his chest.
"I'll be lonely without you. But we'll be okay,
and when I get back I'll never leave you again,"
he whispered huskily in her ear.
She smiled sadly. Already her heart was
aching and he hadn't left her side yet. He
embraced her tightly, breathing in her sweet
smell.
"Usako," he stopped and pulled out a soft,
velvet box from his jacket pocket. Dropping to
one knee in front of her, he cleared in throat
nervously. "Tsukino Usagi - I love you. Would...
would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
A few nervous moments passed, and Mamoru
knew half the airport was watching them. Usagi
stood stock still, hand resting on her throat
as if willing the air to go in and out of her
chest. A single tear fell off her face in a
fast, sweeping motion and landed on the hand
Mamoru was holding the ring box in. He swallowed
loudly.
What if she says no? What if she doesn't
want to wait for him? How would he survive
without her? All these thoughts and more ran
trough his mind at once so that he didn't hear
her whisper her response the first time.
A slightly louder "Yes" resounded in
Mamoru's mind and he looked up at the grinning
blonde. "Oh Mamo-chan! Yes!! Yes!! and a thousand
times, YES!" she practically screamed, falling
into his open arms.
Grinning broadly, Mamoru stood up to stop
people from staring. Gently he ran his finger
down her jaw. "Usako," he whispered gently
before crushing his lips down on hers.
Slowly they separated and the heart-shaped
diamond ring was placed on her finger.
~*~End Flashback~*~
Usagi looked at how it sparkled and thought
of Mamoru's eyes. A tear trailed slowly down her
face and dripped off her chin.
"Usagi-chan! Get up! We have to be at Rei's
in ten minutes!"
Usagi looked over at the doorway where Luna
was standing. "I'm getting up Luna, just a few
more minutes," she mumbled and turned back over.
"Oh no you don't, another few minutes and
you'll be later than you already are. Now up
lazy bones!" the cat practically hissed in her
ear.
Her answer was getting knocked off the
bed after being hit with a flying pillow.
Frustrated, Luna marched out of the room
mumbling, "That's fine. She's going to have
to listen to Rei when she's late."
It wasn't five minutes later that the
cat was back. "Usagi-chan," she said quietly.
"I'm up Luna!"
"Usagi-chan," she repeated, hurt and pain
in her voice. "I think you need to come
downstairs."
Usagi looked over at the cat. She wasn't
kidding, or trying to pry her out of bed. She
was dead serious. Something rose up in Usagi's
throat, a lump that was almost like a sob. But
why did she have this over-whelming feeling of
doom?
"O.. okay Luna," she whispered. Slowly she
put on her bunny house shoes and padded down the
stairs. All the while she glanced uneasily ahead
and played with the ring on her finger.
In the living room she found her mother and
father sitting on the couch, holding hands. It
wasn't a sweet embrace however, it was one of
support. Ikuko was crying softly as she watched
the television.
"Mama?"
The blue haired woman looked up quickly
and ran over to Usagi. "Um, sweetie. Why don't
you go get you something to eat?"
"Why?" Usagi had the distinct feeling
that her mother was trying to keep her out of
the room.
Moving so that Usagi couldn't see the
television, Ikuko rushed her daughter into the
kitchen. Quickly she started making breakfast.
"Mama, you've already cooked this morning,"
Usagi pointed out, looking at the plate of eggs
and bacon on the counter top.
"Well I... wanted it to be hot for you. You
know, a hot breakfast and everything-" she
stopped suddenly and looked ahead. Usagi was
nowhere to been seen. "No Usagi, don't go in
there..."
Usagi peeked from behind the chair in the
corner of the room. Why was her mother acting
so strange? Her father sat on the edge of the
couch. Usagi felt a pang of forbidding rush over
her. 'Don't look at the television' a voice in
the back of her mind said.
Her eyes unwillingly stared at the television.
A man was reporting from the states. 'Mamo-chan,'
she thought. He was at the scene of an explosion.
"That looks bad," Usagi mumbled to herself.
Suddenly the captions came on at the bottom
of the screen. Fear nailed Usagi to the floor,
her hand griping her shirt with an unseen force.
"Around ten-thirty last night one of the labs
rooms at Harvard University caught fire, causing an
explosion..."
Usagi stared at the television like it was a
dream. Students killed, buildings burned to the
ground... names of faculty and students injured
or killed.
Her heart started pounding before her brain
had time to react.
Names...
Lists of students...
Explosion...
Kenji turned around and gasped when he found
his daughter staring at the television.
Chiba Mamoru's name flashed on the screen and
Usagi fainted to the floor.
