Mamoru couldn't find Usagi. She had switched all of her classes to as many online as she could and her friends would not tell him a damn thing. They did not tell their significant others anything either. Every spare second he could he text her, left voicemails, tried to figure out where she had gone but nothing. It had been a week. His mother was crying everyday even though he was sure that Usagi called her to check in. He swore his mother did it just to be a pain in his ass.

He couldn't sleep without Usagi. So he was up at all times studying or looking at wedding pictures of the two of them. When he did catch a few Zz's from exhaustion he dreamt of her.

He was surprised that he wasn't failing his classes. Well, actually he wasn't because with the misery of being apart from his other half, and the part where he fucked up royally, he put what he had left in to school.

It had been a miserable week and to needed a mental break. Even though he did get a HUGE lecture of his friends they never left him hanging. So here he was on a Friday night sitting in the guy's apartment having a beer. Depression was beyond him. Beer was not. It was in front of him and he already had four.

"I told you. Minako won't tell me." Kunzite stated for the last time taking a sip of his now, fifth beer. "Plus, that girl is keeping her own secrets." He said pissed off flicking a bottle top at the wall.

Mamoru raised an eyebrow.

"Still?" This had been brought up a few times especially when Minako and Usagi went MIA after their date debacle.

"Yeah still. All of them actually." Kunzite admitted.

Mamoru looked at the TV not really watching but thinking. The thing was when he tried to think about the moments that seemed like déjà vu they were blurry but there were emotions tied to familiarity of the situation. Aside from the Usagi's randomly busy life the two things that bothered him were her leaving in the morning and when she did not come home on weekends. They had to be connected in the past and he felt that they were connected now.

"Do you know where they go in the morning?" Mamoru asked wondering if he was headed for another unanswered question.

Kunzite shrugged and took a swig.

"Work out… Minako always comes home sweaty as hell. Sometimes with bruises. I think they have like a kickboxing class or something. I know where the building is because I have saw Mako and Ami leave there like super late once. It's owned by Tsukino san." Kunzite told him finishing the rest of his beer. It seemed that Mamoru was not the only one with issues.

"Wait, Usagi works out in the morning?" Asked Mamoru.

"Yup."

"And Artemis owns the building that they work out in?"

"Yup. It's offices in the front but the back has a huge warehouse. I have never been inside but Mako told me that Artemis turned part of it in to some sort of gym."

Mamoru scratched his head. "I thought she was just running… why would she keep something like this from me? If she works out, she works out, but why lie and say she is running?" Mamoru was perplexed. Was Usagi and the girls involved in something?

"Minako runs sometimes too but she has told me she works out. Shit, she has to her body is rockin."

Mamoru thought about how elegant his wife was. Unless you touched her you would never know that she was all muscle. She also had a 'rockin' body.

Mamoru shifted his body hunching over and put his elbows on his knees trying to figure this out. He was a smart guy but none of this added up.

"None of this add's up." He said out loud.

"Then we only have one option my friend." Kunzite told him opening another beer and handing one to Mamoru.

"And that would be." Mamoru asked craning his neck to look at his friend.

"Let's follow them." Kunzite said determined as he looked at Mamoru's face. "Let's just go see."

Mamoru finished his beer and practically slammed in down on the table. "I am so down." He took the one Kunzite just handed him and started to drink.

He had never felt so out of control and in control at the same time.

"They come here every morning?" Kunzite said from his hidden spot in the 'gym'. Gym was an understatement. This place was nicer than an MMA fighting facility in Vegas. It looked like a warehouse from the outside and it was quick lock pick and they were stunned to walk in to the building. It had everything a gym would have but what seemed to be the best quality. Everything from gymnastics equipment, to weights and weight machines. It even had labeled lockers for each girl… Even Haruka, Micharu and Seyia had a locker. Which was odd because Mamoru had not seen Seyia since winter break the year Usagi moved in.

Mamoru and Kunzite didn't even go to sleep. They left the apartment to arrive at the gym at 3am not wanting to take a chance. They sat and chatted about the weird things that went on between the girls trying to find some answer. The only thing they kept coming back to was Yakuza. Even Artemis now started to fill a Yakuza mold. It was an unsettling realization.

They had found a very comfortable hiding space in an observatory walkway above the gym. Mamoru assumed that it opened in to the offices but that door was locked tight.

"Shhhh. I think I hear something." Mamoru told Kunzite. They men ducked down.

The back door opened and the lights flickered on illuminating the large space. After blinking from the darkness to the light they could see Usagi shutting the door. She had her headphones in not paying attention to anything. Her hair was out of her buns and in a single ponytail down her back. She went to her locker area and slipped off her shoes and socks. Then she took off her shirt only to stand in a sports bra and tight black yoga pants.

Mamoru took in the very sight of her. Remembering her beauty and actually seeing her were two completely different things. He wished she kept her shirt on with Kunzite here.

She went to a wall where there was a large cabinet. She slid open a door revealing an amazing stereo system. Usagi unplugged her headphones and plugged her phone in to the auxiliary cable. Mamoru watched as she scrolled threw a few choices biting the inside of her cheek and fidgeting on her bare feet. She seemed so at ease here and Mamoru knew that she had been doing this for far longer than he realized. She may have been doing this before they met. Yes, she had because her body was perfectly tone and it had been since he first saw her in her altered school uniform. Picking a song it blared over the speakers in the room. Perfect sound quality for such a large space.

She stretched and then she started to dance. Mamoru was entranced by her and he could tell Kunzite was too.

"She comes to dance? That's the secret?" Kunzite whispered.

Then they saw the door open again and watched as Minako walked in and roll her eyes. She threw off her shoes and joined Usagi in the solemn music making Usagi smile.

They were so in sync and Mamoru remembered Usagi telling him that they grew up together here in Japan and in London. So this wasn't so bad.

"Okay so Minako and Usagi like to dance in private. They even have their own dances. I feel bad we didn't trust them." Mamoru started to say but not one hundred percent sure.

"I dunno… dancing does not leave bruises like Minako has sometimes." Kunzite told him and Mamoru had to nod in agreement.

"True, because if it was just dancing then why do it so early and why not tell us." Mamoru backtracked. "I just hate this uneasy feeling. I hate doubting Usako but I feel like I should know why she is here." He whispered.

Kunzite nodded as he watched Minako dance across the floor with Usagi at her heels.

The door opened again and in walked Ami, Makoto and Rei. They seemed lively until Rei rolled her eyes at the dancing duo.

"Enough with your depressing shit, Usagi!" Rei yelled at her. Usagi stuck her tongue out stopping at the arrival of the rest of her friends.

"Geeeze! It's like everyone has an Usagi radar. So much for my own free time. Like I don't see you enough." Usagi said annoyed padding over the radio.

"You could always see us more." Makoto said fluttering her eyelashes.

"And we do have a built in Usagi radar." Ami pulled out her phone and showed her. "See. Usagi." She pointed to the screen.

"I need to come early. If I keep eating all of your baked good I am going to be as big as a balloon." Usagi said changing some settings on the large media equipment. "And I will have Motoki fix that. It's like major stalking 101." She groaned.

"Well, at least Mamoru can't find you." Minako told her with a pat.

"We are all cut off right now. It's the easiest way." Rei said walking to look over Usagi's shoulder.

"All cut off?" Kunzite hissed at Mamoru.

Mamoru immediately thought of his bond with Usagi. The way he could tug and find her when he needed to. The unexplainable link. But there was no way that they all shared that with their boyfriends.

Minako started toward the center of the room.

"Well, since we are all early…Stretch it out ladies!" Minako yelled at them. Ami, Mako and Rei moving to the center on the room.

Usagi joined them in the stretch with the new song she picked following Minako who clearly assumed the position as leader.

"Getting right in to it aren't you princess." Makoto said starting to dance to the music she chose. A little fast for so early but Usagi was depressed and she knew this helped her.

They girls stretched and sang having fun like normal girls until the music really picked up tempo.

Then Mamoru and Kunzite saw Ami do the most ridiculous flip in the air. No running start. Just knees bent and then she back flipped like she was born with wings.

"Good one Ames!" Minako told her blowing her a kiss.

"Mako chan. I know you have been out of commission for a while. Follow Usagi until muscle memory kicks in." Minako told the Amazonian girl.

"And that is my fault why?" Makoto asked with a hand on her hip.

"It's my fault Makoto. I am sorry. I should have told you first so I wouldn't be so fat from eating your baked goods." Usagi joked.

Usagi took off. Her gymnastics skills were out of control and Makoto followed laughing, her rhythm finally getting in sync with her by the end.

"Holy shit." Mamoru said to Kunzite.

"Did you know your wife could do that?" Kunzite hissed at Mamoru.

"No fucking idea…" Mamoru trailed off watching all of the girls now.

The girls looked like they were having fun, singing and flying through the air.

Then the door opened again and Mamoru recognized the bastard that walked through it. Diamond Black. The room hazed over in red. "What the fuck is he doing here." Mamoru snarled.

Kunzite had no idea. Why would Diamond Black be here alone with five girls so early in the morning? He seemed comfortable in his track pants and tight fitted shirt. He was also not fazed by the unreal display of acrobatics going on around him. He seemed to be analyzing them with a trained eye.

"Starting early." He said calmly after he went as he turned off the music. His voice was loud enough to get all of the girl's attention.

"Usagi started it." Rei said as she landed elegantly in front of him. Her feet touching down as if she had slowly descended to earth.

Everyone else finished what they were doing and came in close to him.

Mamoru noticed that Usagi stood in the middle of the girls, Diamond's attention on his wife.

"Princess Serenity." He said with a bow. She didn't miss a beat.

'Did he just bow to my wife and call her a princess?' Mamoru thought.

"Prince Diamond." She said riley.

'And he thinks he is some prince?' Mamoru looked at the two of them. Were they actually together? And her friends thought that this was okay?

Diamond's normal look of admiration toward Usagi was different today. He seemed to analyze her. He stared at her and she stared back at him. Mamoru watched as Diamond's easy going face went cold.

"Serenity. Drop your glamour." Diamond told her in a stern voice. A look of fury in his eyes.

She stepped back. Mamoru didn't know what glamour was but if he meant her clothes he would murder him.

"Usa…" Minako whispered looking over Usagi now too.

"I can see it! I saw it last night after. Drop your god damn glamour!" Diamond yelled at her. He wasn't playing and his was acting like a military drill sergeant.

Mamoru was about to pummel him and Kunzite grabbed his shirt to hold him back.

"Usagi. Drop it, now." Diamond hissed and Usagi's head bowed with a shake.

Mamoru would have been blind as to have not seen it from here. A small shimmer of energy released from his blond goddess of a wife.

Her whole back was bruised even behind her sports bra. It extended to her left side. Black, blue and red patches almost seemed too unreal to be true. Her face was shadowed and the back of her leg was scabbed over from what looked like a healing cut.

Before Mamoru could even comprehend what he was seeing. His wife battered and bruised her friends started in on her.

"Usa! How could you!" Makoto yelled at her as she pulled Usagi by the shoulders and spun her to see every angle.

"You said you didn't get hurt!" Ami told her. "And you were already going hard? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Nothing is broken. I am just not healing as fast as I normally do." She defended.

"Maybe that's because you are not giving it time to heal. You shouldn't have even started. We don't lie in here. You are hurt… you are hurt! We can help you and we can also not beat the shit out of you to make it worse. Next time you lie to me you will mop he floor. Twice!" Diamond yelled at her.

"You are being careless in battle. Stop trying to be everywhere at one time so others don't get hurt. This is your job. They are YOUR guards or I will have your father pull you out until the very end."

"Try it and see what happens!" She snarled at him pointing a finger in his face.

Diamond got up in her face pushing aside her proffered hand.

"I will, Princess. He already gave me word that he would. I will have Motoki turn off your messaging system and you will be a last call." Diamond's face was one that even Mamoru would have agreed to. Here, the man he hated, was giving his wife orders. Firm orders to keep her safe… but what the hell was she doing? Princess? Battle?'

And then Diamond took Usagi's hand. Her bruises slowly fading to yellow. Minako took her hand. More faded. Each took a turn until they were gone.

"See easy fix." Diamond told her softly. The look of longing and adoration back in his eye. Whatever gratitude Mamoru felt a second ago was gone.

"Now, I don't give a rats ass what is going on between you and your husband. Get your shit together for the people of Tokyo." He snapped but he had a smirk on his face.

"Yes, sir." She said with a half-smile.

Diamond walked over to the media station and the girls fanned out across the large space.

"Now, Serenity if you want to bleed now is the time." He changed the song and then he lunged for her so quick Mamoru could have missed it. She moved quickly, landing on her back, her foot up throwing him off and in to the middle of the room. Ami took Rei; Minako took Makoto and the most expertise fighting skills he had ever seen. His heart beat was fast as he watched them all dance with one another.

Diamond came at Usagi again and she moved quickly but he landed a punch and then round house kicked her in the face. She twisted through the air on impact and landed on one knee. Her nose bleeding. Kunzite grabbed Mamoru again he tried to go to his bleeding wife. But Usagi stood up. A shimmer of power around her.

"DAMMNT DIAMOND!" She growled wiping her nose And then she unleashed holy hell on him. Everyone did hand to hand combat for a while. Minako stopping a few times to give critiques. But Diamond and Usagi's fight seemed to be more than just a friendly spar. It was intense, the beat of the music in the room giving it more light. Usagi needed to release something and Diamond was letting her. She finally won… it was close though. Very close.

Diamond laughed as Usagi gave him a hand up. Both of them panting.

"Feel better?" He asked his dropping an arm over her shoulder. She elbowed him in the stomach and he let go.

"Don't touch me." she smirked and Diamonds laugh reverberated in the room.

"Okay so… either they are assassins…" Kunzite started as he watched Minako. He felt like she could kick his ass in the moment. Not feeling very manly at all.

But thunder shook the building and rain poured down. He watched as Usagi scanned the room a look of panic on her face. When she didn't see anything she turned back to her friends with a headshake.

"They are the fucking Sailor Senshi and I am going to kill Serenity." Mamoru told Kunzite.

Kunzite's ice blue eyes went wide and then narrowed.

"I think an Aphrodite needs to learn a lesson." Kunzite told him, regaining his male pride as memories flooded his brain.

Mamoru and Kunzite paced slowly along the roof tops as they watched the two blond senshi stroll down the street's of Tokyo at 5am like it was no big deal. They chatted and laughed as if this was normal under their umbrellas. And this was normal for them Mamoru realized. He and Kunzite didn't care that they were soaked through. The two men radiating fury walked on. Eyes on the deceivers below. Mamoru couldn't believe Usagi's hypocrisy. After everything they went through last year she took his memories again? How could she do that? He didn't know that she was powerful enough to create fake memories in everyone's minds.

The girls walked in to a ridiculously luxurious apartment complex. It even had a doorman that took their umbrellas. And she lived here now? Like the princess she was. Is this what she wanted all along. His parents' house not comfortable enough for her? Kunzite broke his endless thoughts of betrayal and fury.

"I don't get it. How come we didn't remember… we died…" Kunzite said looking at Mamoru as they stood on the ledge of a building looking like gods, soaked threw in the rain.

This was a good question Mamoru thought. He was so focused on Usagi's lies since the day she woke up in the hospital.

Mamoru's eyes narrowed. "Why are we all alive?" he whispered.

"Maybe because she is the kindest princess and even during the pain of a gruesome death, all she thought of was all of you. A wish. A wish with the last of her power was made it and she relived every single one of your deaths so you could live normal lives." Came a firm, fluid, timeless and powerful voice.

Mamoru and Kunzite stood and turned quickly. Through the rain they could see the shadow of a tall senshi. Staff in her hand. She walked forward toward them revealing herself from the fury of Endymion's storm.

"Hello Prince Endymion. General Kunzite." She said in a flat tone.

"I don't think I heard you correctly, Pluto." Mamoru said standing at full height. He was in disbelief of the story that he had just heard.

"Your wife… an amazing woman, made a wish upon her death defeating Metellia so everyone could live normal lives. But for such a wish comes consequences." She told him firmly meeting his blue eyes with her garnet ones. She wanted him to hear her words clearly. So she spoke slowly. "Eleven death's re lived through her body and then her own all over again. Only so she could remember and protect the city alone. Until she almost died a few months ago and I made her tell Venus. They rest just trickled in… just like you. I guess those deaths were in vain for such a painful gift to those she loved. Chaos follows her light. She is a star among the universe coveted for her power."

Mamoru shook as he relived those deaths again in his mind. They were real. She did die… she died thirteen times for them.

"Endymion, you are the most arrogant man I have ever seen in my life. She thinks that Mamoru doesn't loves Usagi and I do not blame her." Pluto scolded looking at the Earth prince with an eyeful of distaste.

Mamoru looked her in the eye. He would not let this woman try his love for Usagi. "I love her more than anything in this world." He snarled.

"You have a quite a way of showing it. Look what she has done for you. Saved your friends, gave her life over and over again. Brought color in to your boring life, sacrificed her own sanity so you could become a doctor without this burden. Should I go on..." Pluto lifted an eyebrow.

"I am aware of my failures as a husband." Mamoru snapped at her.

"You sure she is your wife? That paperwork didn't get filed" Now the senshi of time was being a bitch.

"Enough!" Mamoru snapped at her. His tone of finality brought the sky roaring to life.

"Temper, Prince." She scolded again.

"Maybe you should leave her alone for a while, Prince." Pluto told said. She looked amused but Mamoru knew she meant it.

"I don't think so."

"Well if you run in there like a pissed off Endymion she won't think you love her just like she didn't when you asked her to marry you. All Endymion… she doesn't think you two are fused as one because she was the light of Endymion's life and he never would have treated her this way."

"Endymion… you should listen to her." Kunzite told him. Endymion glared at his friend.

"I will not leave her alone. Could you leave Minako alone if you made the same mistakes as I?" He asked his lead general.

His face said it all.

"What do I do…" Mamoru asked. His uncertainty brought the wind whipping around them.

"That is your problem, Prince." Pluto said, her head cocked toward him.

Mamoru stood straight up and looked at the Senshi of Time. "It's time I made sacrifices."

"Far past time… but never too late." Pluto smiled softly.

He nodded.

"Make a rose your majesty." Pluto told him. "The finest and most pure of roses. The rose that your soul mate loves."

And pulling from the golden crystal he reached in to his subspace pocket and pulled out a perfect rose. With it a henshin had been called and Mamoru now stood fully dressed in a black tuxedo, red lined cape, top hat and cane. He felt something weighted around his neck. A golden sun. He swallowed hard. It had been his mother's. The Queen of Earths. She had given it to him the night he met Serenity at the ball the first time.

"Your henshin is Tuxedo Kamen. More like a power that of Sailor Moon. You can't always be Prince Endymion here. Wouldn't want to raise suspicion prior to you ascend the throne. With or without your queen depending on how well you patch things up." She smirked.

"And my shintennou?" Tuxedo Kamen asked.

"Have them pull white roses, prince of Earth, next time you gather all of them." Pluto told him.

"Don't mess this up, Endymion. She may have given the word to never cut the bond but you could still lose her."

Mamoru nodded.

"Well we are settled here." Pluto said and she faded before their eyes.

"So I take it you never took her on a second date after you botched the first one?" Kunzite told him.

Mamoru grabbed his lead general and tossed him off the roof.

88888888888888888888888888888

Usagi was missing her husband and she was starting to think maybe she over reacted. That was until she saw Saori on campus and she sort of rubbed it in her face. She didn't know that they were not legally married but the newspaper article made waves. Tsunami type waves.

And then there was Sakuyama san who did know what happened because Mamoru apparently had to explain to a few teachers that he was indeed married to her.

Which he wasn't.

And then Sakuyama san tried to act kindly as he flattered her with words of how he never would have forgotten to file the paperwork in addition to asking her out. She was happy to know that Mamoru was still number one in class and unhappy because it seemed that he did take her words to heart. Separation was working for him she guessed.

He had left voicemails, text messages, and bothered her friends relentlessly to get in touch with her but Usagi was heartbroken.

Tonight her father was having a gala downtown for all of his vendors. Usagi wanted to rip her hair out as she dressed in a tight gold dress. It was one shoulder strapped and pleated down the side. It looked like she had been draped in gold.

Her long golden locks were pulled in to an elegant chignon on the nape of her neck. She wore a one-inch-wide gold tennis bracelet and gold stilettos. She didn't know why she decided to go all goddess. She looked at her wedding rings and was unsure if she should leave them on or off. She went with on as a last minute decision. Her father was waiting downstairs as she was his date tonight.

She gave herself one last look in the mirror and headed to the door. Opening it she had to step back.

Mamoru was standing in the doorway. She didn't care how he knew where to find her or that she had no clue what he was doing here but she just couldn't tear her eyes away from his.

"Usako." He greeted. His eyes danced with elation that he was finally happy to see her.

This brought her out of her trance and she looked at him again. He was looking impeccable in a tuxedo. A bouquet of red roses in his hand.

"Mamoru." She breathed out. "Why are you… What are you doing here?"

"I am here to escort my wife to her father's event tonight." He stated.

She felt her face scrunch up. She was confused.

"How did you know where to find me?" She knew no one would give her away.

"Are you going to invite me in?" He asked not answering her question.

She bit her lip and stepped aside.

Something was different about Mamoru but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" He asked still not tearing his eyes from hers.

"Oh, ummm. Thank you…" She stuttered. "I am sorry. I am really confused right now."

"These are for you." He handed her the flowers. She looked at them. Each one was perfect and smelled amazing.

"Wow, these are the most beautiful roses I have ever seen in my life." She couldn't help but to comment.

"Nice place." He quipped looking around her apartment.

She bit her lip again looking at him as he looked his fill of what should have been theirs. Once again she eyed him trying to figure out what was different about him.

"I… it's ours." She managed to get out. She didn't know why she was stuttering so badly around him. He was making her nervous. "I am going to put these in water." She walked toward the open kitchen her stomach doing flips. Maybe it was from not seeing him for so long. Her hand trembled as she turned on the faucet to fill a vase.

In a second the vase was out of her hands. Mamoru had one hand on the vase and one hand on her hip. His mouth next to her ear.

"I will get that." He breathed and then his hand was off her as he was placing the roses in to the vase and handing it to her.

It was her freaking libido that was making her nervous. It had almost been two weeks since she dramatically stormed out on Mamoru. What if he was here to end it? Not file the paper work. Granted she didn't make it easy for him to find her. With the new enemy and all she wanted him to stay away.

Usagi turned to watch her husband. Or not husband. Or half husband knowing that he was Endymion.

"You never answered my question. How did you know where to find me?" She asked trying to put some harshness behind her meek tone.

He gave her a cocky grin. "Like you said. It's our place."

She frowned. "Did my dad tell you or are you a gumshoe now?"

His smile didn't waver. "I'm practically Sherlock Homes." He retorted.

This comment made her even more nervous. She was trying to protect him. Let him have a normal life and become a doctor. He didn't need the world on his shoulders in addition to all of that. He never should have sought her out.

He put his finger on her chin and she removed her bottom lip from her teeth. She didn't even realize that she had been chewing on it. Her eyes met his and her stomach turned for maybe the fiftyish time. The next words from her mouth she didn't mean.

"Mamoru, honestly I am not sure why you are even here." Her tone was exasperated and defeated at the same time.

His eyes narrowed a fraction.

"I am here because you are my wife, Chiba Serenity Usagi." And from his subspace pocket, which looked like a jacket pocket, he pulled out the family register and handed it to her.

Her hand trembled when she went to grab the papers from his out stretched hand but then she pulled her hand away.

"Are we going to continue on like this? Even if we do get back together." She questioned.

He was here to get her back but her comment had him reeling. She was the one keeping secrets and lying all of the time. Not him. He may be an ass and forget her feelings sometimes but he didn't intentionally do any of that. She knew she was Serenity since the day she was born. He on the other hand always knew that something was missing. One part was himself and the other was her.

"I don't know, Usako. Are we?" He raised an eyebrow at her.

She glared. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Exactly what I said. You are the one keeping secrets. You are the one with an apartment, always disappearing all the time, shit, Usa, you were even on a drifting team with yakuza."

"I have not drifted since we have been married." She said crossing her arms over her chest. Her chin was set as to say, I dare you to try me.

"You know what I mean." He said exasperated.

"I am going to be late if we keep this up." She turned her eyes from his and went to the counter to grab her clutch.

Mamoru was getting frustrated. He was not sure what he expected in words of truth from his wife but he was not letting her leave without him.

"You mean, WE, are going to be late." He eyed her as if waiting for some retort.

She bit her lip again looking at him. Her toes curled thinking about him and her together and then her naughty thoughts were dashed by her phone going off.

Usagi opened her clutch and looked at the phone. A text appeared across the screen.

She looked at Mamoru and she expected him to look at her with anger but instead he looked… amused.

"Mamoru, I…"

"…Have to go?" He asked her. "Well then I am coming with you."

She narrowed her eyes and looked him over again. Something was different.

"I will meet you at the event." She tried. So many times before she could leave. Have an excuse but this time if was different.

"I don't think so. Let's go Usako."

"No really. I wasn't even expecting you and I have other things to do." She tried not to sound harsh.

Mamoru looked at her. "Usako, I am here for you. Because I love you and want you and now you are pushing me away?"

Her heart clenched and tears filled her eyes.

"No… I…" Her phone buzzed again and she looked at the object in her hand. She looked at her husband and then at the phone. Her love or her duty. A tear fell from her face and she wiped it away. She grit her teeth.

"Mamoru, remember what I told you about obligations the night your father had a heart attack."

He nodded. She felt sick.

"I love you. I love you more than anything in the world but I have other obligations and…" Another traitor tear came down her face.

"We can't be together. I am not right for you."

"Like hell." He growled out coming near her but she held her hands up and her phone buzzed again.

"I have to go. And you should go too."

"You are not going anywhere without me."

Her phone started to ring and she looked at him and then at the phone answering it.

"Yes." She said breathlessly.

Usagi went white and then her eyes shot up to glare at Mamoru. She saw it now. The difference and she hung up the phone and placed it in to her subspace pocket right in front of him.

"Now I know why you want me back." And Usagi turned from Mamoru toward the balcony.

"Usako." He went to grab her hand but she was too quick. She called on her henshin right in front of him.

He looked at her as Sailor Moon.

"I stalked you Usako because I, MAMORU, was going crazy without you. Because, I, MAMORU, love you and all of the text messages and voicemails I left you prove it. The only reason I remember Endymion was because I stalked you." And Mamoru called on his own Henshin making Sailor Moon stand back.

"So, here I am. I am here to stand by your side. To make sacrifices with you. And I am demanding you allow me to stand by your side."

A tear trickled down her face.

I sigh. This is the LAST chapter that I had written so long ago. I will try and get out daily chapters and I ALMOST changed this chapter about 100x. I almost wish I didn't post part two until I was finished but I didn't want to leave everyone without Beryl dead.

Let me know if you have idea's for the Shitennou's names as we can NOT call them by their real names during battles. I have some ideas but I am like Usagi. The Moonmobile just sounds stupid.

I also have has so many SWEET and WONDERFUL reviews. I read them to my husband when he tells me that I spend to much time writing. He doesn't understand the amazing things you all say to me.

I plan on publishing some of my own work on kindle soon. (Soon as in next year.) So I hope you will read some of my books there. I obviously can not post amazing Sailor Moon stories though. BLAH!

I also had a question about where my inspiration was from. I would respond via PM but this was from a guest:

So here it is. This story is based off a Japanese Manga called Itazura na Kiss. It's a great managa. It's super popular just like Hana youri dango (In which I have ALSO written a Sailor Moon based one minus them being Sailor Moon. I hope I finish that one because it has been sitting on my computer for like 3 years now.) End rant

I read the manga, fell in love with the Korean version 'Playful Kiss', watched the Taiwanese Version and a new Japanese version was released a few years ago in two parts. It is hard for me to watch anything and NOT think of Usagi and Mamoru. (They Kick ass)

Truth is I love Kotoko and I hate her and I love Naoki but I really hate him. Somehow while re-watching the Japnese show a few months ago I started to hate Kotoko because she is awesome but she is so blind. And I always wanted her to stand up for herself.

So this fic was born.

Okay Enough! Love you all. Send me Reviews and ideas!
