' '=thinking
When the road gets dark
and you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have a little in faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Give these loving arms a try baby
Have A little faith in me
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch your fall
Have a little faith in me...

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME(Part two)
BY:JLaLa
"Usako?" Mamoru looked down at his wife whose head was lovingly laid
on his shoulder. The sweet scent of her shampoo lingered through his
nose.
"Yeah?", She said and looked up at him. Usagi took his hand in hers
entwining the two. "Is there something you wanna ask?" Her lovely
blue eyes gazed at him and the familiar butterfly in the stomach
feeling came to her. 'Each time I look at Mamo-chan it's like I'm
falling for him all over again'
"We're having a hospital dinner party and I know that you've been
busy but maybe you would wanna go?" Mamoru knew that Usagi usually
would be all for it but lately she had been tired. The stress of
keeping up the art museum was taking its toll. He tightened his arm
around her as if to protect her from something.
"OF COURSE! I'D LOVE TOO!", She squealed and gripped his arm. She
could practically see herself in a fancy ballroom sipping champagne...
her eyes glazed over at thought. "You didn't even have to ask!"
"Usako, I just don't want you to go if you're too tired", Mamoru said
to her. He failed to mention that he was winning an award for he's
breakthrough researching in the field of medicine.'I don't wanna go
unless she's up for it' "You are a working woman now and I don't want
this party to interrupt your important job"
"Mamo-chan", She said quietly and looked him in the eye. "YOU are
important to me. Also something tells me that this is important to
you"
"Now what makes you think that?", He answered slyly and she laughed.
"I'm shocked that I had to find out from ANDREW that you were getting
an award" She wrapped her arms around his neck and look him in the eye.
"I'm so proud of you"
"I love you Usako" He kissed her passionately drinking her in like some
intoxicating wine. The hunger inside him took over and he deepened the
kiss. His thoughts were only on her. Her eyes...her smile...her voice
...her laugh. Everything drew him in like a magnet. He stopped and she
giggled at his sudden shyness. 'The things she does to me...' "I'm
sorry. I can't control myself around you"
"Why control yourself?", She retorted and gave him an angelic smile.
"Perhaps this calls for a new dress?"
"Why not? I want my girl to be the belle of the ball. Not like she
wouldn't just by being her charming self", Mamoru said to her. "Are
you and Rei going shopping tomorrow?"
"Nope", She answered and gave him a devilish grin. "Cause YOU and I are
going shopping" Mamoru grimaced, shopping was not his idea of fun. He
got up trying to avoid her request.
"I...don't think so", He told Usagi and she quickly blocked his way
from exiting.
"And why not?", She demanded hands on her hips. He smiled at her anger
thinking how adorable his Usako was.
"It's just not my thing", Mamoru answered and tried to move again. She
was quick however and could block him. He was beginning to feel like
he was in a scrimmage.
"Please?", She said and pouted.'Mamo-chan can't refuse. The pout ALWAYS
works'
"No" A shock look crossed her face and she tried again. Batting her
long eyelashes at him, she seductively wrapped her arms around him.
Her blue eyes filled with fake sadness. Mamoru was having a hard time
trying to say no to her. After all she was looking especially goddess
-like today.
"Come on", She whined. "I'll treat you to lunch. Anything you want
even that salad place you like" She wrinkled her nose at the thought.
"No" Was the blunt reply.
"I'll COOK you dinner for two weeks", She suggested.
"Food poisoning isn't my thing either", He joked and she punched
him in the arm angrily. 'That hurt. What a fist!' Usagi was growing
impatient. Her plan wasn't working very well. She had one last idea.
"If you come with me, I will model EVERY dress I try on for you", Usagi
said suggestively and pressed her body against her husband's. She could
see his shield going down. It was in the bag.
"Every?" He raised his eyebrows and she nodded with a smile.'How can I
refuse?' He sighed in resignation. "Alright, alright. I'll go shopping
with you" She happily yelled and jump in happiness.
"Thank you Mamo-chan!" She kissed his face profusely; which he didn't
mind much.'Works everytime' Walking to her room she turned to him.
"While we're at it, we might as well get something for you" A sly
grin came to her face.
"What?! Hey!!! You never said anything about shopping for me!", He
sputtered as she walked out of the room. Quickly he went after her,
his voice booming throughout the apartment. "USAKO!"
***************************************************
Mamoru straightened his collar as he waited for Usagi to finish
dressing. He had to admit he looked GOOD in his black tuxedo.
His jet-black hair was combed and shone. Walking over to the
fireplace he looked at the pictures standing neatly in place.
One was him and Usagi at her prom. She had been afraid to ask
him for weeks because he might not want to go to some dance
with a bunch of kids. However he was more than happy to and
when he saw her come down the stairs Mamoru knew the night
would be magical. It was. The picture showed the stunning
couple, both smiling widely. Mamoru in a white tuxedo and
Usagi in a sleeveless pink dress. She looked like like angel
that night, Usagi always did. The smile on her lovely face
would always remain in his memory. Speaking of which, where
was Usako?
"Honey we're gonna be late!", He said and could hear her rushing
about. Looking at his watch he tapped his foot."Usako do you need-"
He stopped when he saw her enter the room. She had that way of
making him go numb. Usagi walked slowly into the room, her white
dress dragging on the floor. It was strapless, tight on the bodice
and flowing to the ground. A scarf was wrapped around her delicate
neck. Usagi's blond hair went straight down and she had cut in to
her butt. Her blue eyes were luminous, they shone like a thousand
stars were in them.
"What's wrong?", She asked and smiled, her pink lips shimmering
from the lipstick.
"Um...um..um..no..nothing", He stuttered and he took one of her gloved
hands."You're just so...so...beautiful" Somehow "beautiful" didn't seem
good enough. It was never good enough for his Usako.
"Thanks" She kissed him lightly so he wouldn't get her lipstick on him.
"You're looking very sexy yourself" He wrapped his arms around her waist
and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"How about we just stay home?" The idea of going to party didn't seem
so important anymore."I think I'd like to spent sometime alone with
you in that dress"
"Not after all that time I spent getting ready!", She exclaimed and
dragged him out the door as he groaned. "We are going!"
******************************************
Usagi felt butterflies in her stomach as she saw the thousand of high
class people in the party. 'What a party! Look how graceful these women
are. I'll never be like that. I'll make a fool out of myself! 'Failing
to realize that she was the most beautiful woman there, Usagi made her
way into the crowd. Mamoru glanced down at her and saw how scared she
was. Quickly he kissed the side of her head and she smiled softly.
"Usagi!", Someone yelled and she turned to see Rei walking over, Chad
at her side. She was stunning in a low-cut burgundy dress, her hair up.
Chad also wore a black tuxedo and had his hair brushed back in a pony
-tail.
"Rei", She breathed in relief. "I'm so glad you're here!"
"Me too!", Rei answered and smiled at her friend as she held Chad's
arm."You look so beautiful! Doesn't she Chad?"
"Absolutely gorgeous but to me no one holds a candle to Rei", He
said and took his wife's hand. Rei lovingly squeezed his, grateful
for having him. "No offense Usagi"
"None taken", She said and laughed nervously as her eyes scanned the
dozens of people.
"Usako are you okay?", Mamoru asked.
"Yea...yea..yeah" Nodding her head quickly. He knew she was lying
through her teeth. Mamoru also knew that she wasn't feeling that
confident around all these people. 'If only she knew she was ten
times more elegant than all the women in here' She was a goddess
compared to them.
"Doctor Chiba?", A voice said and Usagi saw a tall, beautiful woman in
a tight black dress. Rei grimaced at the women who was obviously trying
to flirt though Usagi stood before her holding Mamoru's arm.
"Nurse Juno, nice to see you've come", He answered expressionless. This
woman could be a little less showy in her revealing dress.
"Why would I not be here to see my FAVORITE doctor?", She cooed then
glanced over to Usagi.'Cute if he goes for the airhead look' She smiled
fakely at her. "I didn't know you had little sister!"
"She's his wife", Rei said angrily ready to open a can of whoop ass on
the woman. Nurse Juno whipped her eyes on Rei who glared back. 'No one
messes with Usa and gets away with it!'
"Kinda young, isn't she?", She asked circling Usagi who looked down.
"She can't be nothing more than seventeen"
"I'm nineteen", Usagi said steamed."Do you have a problem with that?"
She looked up defiantly. The woman struggle to hold the laugh in her
throat. The little shrimp was trying to be tough. How disgustingly
cute.
"Not at all", Nurse Juno answered. "Let me guess you're one of those
simpleton housewives, aren't you?" She put a hand on her small hip.
'I'm gonna crush this kid like a bug. She'll never know what hit her,
once I take her gorgeous husband'
"My wife works at the art museum as a curator", Mamoru said getting
impatient with the lady. Chad held Rei back knowing she was about
to kill. He had experienced his wife's wrath; it was something he'd
hate to relive.
"Oh", She replied surprised. How could such a mindless idiot get a
job like that? Not to mention a husband like Mamoru Chiba? "What makes
wonder is why two people would get married so young" She looked Usagi
with an evil look in her eyes. "Were you knocked up or something?"
Mamoru turned red and Usagi stared at the woman embarrassment and
anger in her blue eyes. Chad willingly let go of his wife who was
ready to pounce. She walked to the woman when Usagi got in her way.
"Usa, out of my way!", Rei said trying to pass her friend. "She's
about to wish she'd never come here!"
"No, let it go", Usagi said calmly though she was raging inside. This
was Mamoru's night; she wouldn't have it ruined. She turned to look at
the woman who was smiling please with herself. "She just some cruel
witch. She'll get what she deserves" Turning to her friend she
whispered in her ear."It's Mamo-chan's night. Let's not ruin it." Rei
looked in her friend's eyes seeing that she was pleading. Nodding she
stepped away going to Chad who put his arm around her. She really felt
like flicking the woman off. An announcer called everyone's attention
and everyone turn to leave.
"Well I'll be going now", Nurse Juno said smirking and winked at Mamoru.
"See YOU later Doctor" She left leaving Usagi standing there anger
flowing through him.
"You okay?"He asked and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at
him mad tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, don't worry about it honey" They walked into the other room and
Usagi felt like everyone was staring at them. They hadn't even been
there for an hour and she managed to make them look like idiots.'Could
this get any worse?' Usagi looked over to see Nurse Juno and her
friends laughing and pointing at HER.Rei glanced over at them and they
stopped. Usagi felt useless. She couldn't even defend herself without
being a crybaby about it. Quickly she switched her eyes up to the stage
where a man in his fifties stood smiling at everyone. Cameras flashed
and the murmur of the crowd was silenced.
"I'd like to welcome everyone tonight to this celebration in honor of
our cancer researching team" Pausing for the applause he wiped his brow.
"Also I am proud to be giving a special reward to a young man who has
been the brains of this whole operation. May I present this award to
Doctor Mamoru Chiba!" Applause and cheers rang out from the crowd as
Mamoru kissed his wife then walked to the stage. Usagi snapped of her
reverie to proudly clap for her husband. Rei also applauded as Chad
whistled and cheered loudly. Up on stage Mamoru looked at Usagi whose
turquoise eyes shone happily at him.'I love you Usako' He couldn't
have done anything without her. She made him whole. His light.
Usagi looked at him pleased for her husband.'I love you Mamo-chan'
Holding the award in his hand, he grinned as cameras flashed in his
face.
"Wow" He was speechless for awhile but regained his senses."I just
wanna thank everyone who helped me out and the people who were willing
to support the hospital in our research" He looked up and saw his
Usako."Also this is dedicated to my wife, Usagi Chiba.I want her to
know that she's the reason I get up in the morning" Usagi's eyes
filled with tears."I love you Usako" He looked around at the people
once again."Anyways thank you very much" Mamoru quickly exited and he
walked to Usagi.Kissing her he held her tightly thanking God for the
one millionth time that he had her. Music begun to play and everyone
began to talk loudly again. He held his hand out to her."May I have this
dance?"
"Definitely" She took his hand and they walked over to the dance floor
where other couples assmbled."Mamo-chan I'm so proud of you" As they
danced she looked at his dark eyes which radiated only love for her.
His strong arms enveloped her, protecting her from all harm."I love
you so much" Her head leaned against his chest and she could his
steady heartbeat which was starting to accelerate from her closeness.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for you" He stopped and
lifted her face by her chin. Touching her smooth face he looked down
at the beauty who was his soulmate.
"How can you say that Usako?"He asked."You are the reason I'm here.
You're the one who told me to keep going when I was giving up on
this project. You didn't even get mad when I came home late all the
time. You've done nothing but love me and taken care of me. Now you're
saying you're not good enough for me? NO I'M not good enough for you"
"You're more than enough for me. You're everything", Usagi said to him
and they walked to a nearby balcony. Looking up a million stars filled
the sky and each lit a special light for them. Mamoru put his arm
around her and she leaned against him.'Let this last forever'Usagi
wished as the moon appeared to shine brighter on them.
*********************************************
Usagi walked through the building confused and lost.'Where's the
bathroom?' She needed desperately to freshen up. The rest of the
evening was spend mingling with friends of Mamo-chan, talking to
Rei, eating and of course dancing with Mamo-chan.Turning she stopped
when she heard her name come from some woman talking to her friend.
"Can you believe Doctor Chiba's wife?"One said."She's such an airhead.
I saw her trip almost a dozen times and she eats like a pig!"
"Really?"The other said.
"I bet you she'll just drag him down" The woman winked at her friend.
Usagi was unaware of the fact that thses two ladies were Nurse Juno's
friends. They had seen her roaming the halls and decided to mess with
her."You know those kind of wives. She'll just ruin his career" Usagi
leaned against the wall. Was she really that dependant on him? Hot
tears burned in her eyes and she wiped them away. A waiter passed by
and she quickly grabbed a glass of champagne. Drinking it she walked
away even more lost than before.
***********************************************
Rei ran frantically to Darien who was talking to his friends. She tapped
on his shoulder and he gave her a smile.
"I need to talk you", she said and pointed to the doorway.
"Later",he answered back.
"NOW" Dragging Mamoru away she pulled him to the hallway where Usagi
sat on a couch. Five different guys laughing with her,a glass in her
hand. One guy pour more in her glass which she gulped down. He walked
over and they scrambled away fearing the look in his eyes. Sitting
next to her,he shook Usagi.
"Hey sweetie" She smiled dizzily at him and he looked at her concerned.
"How long have you been here?"
"Usako,how many glasses have you had?",he asked and Rei walked off to
get Usagi's purse and coat.
"I don't know..." Attempting to count her vision blurred and she
started to see double. She waved her hands in front of her face and
began to cry."Oh my God!I have four hands!"
"Relax honey",he said and patted her on the back while she cried on his
shoulder. All of a sudden she pushed him away."What's wrong?" She stood
up but quickly her knees began to unbuckle and Mamoru caught her before
she fell.
"I need to go to the bathroom NOW!",Usagi yelled and ran off;Mamoru
chased after her as she struggled to find the restroom.'Damn it. I'm
lost AGAIN' Finally Usagi found the ladies room leaving a dumbfounded
Mamoru standing outside. Minutes passed and he looked at his watch
worriedly.'She must really be sick' Opening the door a bit he yelled
her name.
"Usako?" Closing his eyes he went into the bathroom."If anyone else
is in here. I'm coming in!" He moved about blindly and felt a soft
shoulder."Usako?Is that you?" A sharp slap met his face and opening
his eyes he saw a young woman in a navy blue dress. His hand was
needless to say NOT on her shoulder. He blushed crimson at her as she
glared at him.
"Watch it jerk!",she yelled and left quickly. He checked the rest of
the stalls to see if the place was empty. Hearing a whimper he opened
a stall where Usagi sat,her face next to the toilet.
"Usako,are you alright?",he asked concerned and pushed the strands
out of her face. Her skin was flushed and the color had left her lips.
"Not at all,Mamo-chan",she said ill and her cheeks puffed up."Not
again!" Her face dove in the toilet bowl and Mamoru held his wife's
hair. When it was over she flushed the toilet and Mamoru got a
washcloth to wipe her hot face. The water made her feel better but she
sadly looked at him."Thanks honey"
"Who else will hold your hair when you had too much to drink?" He
smiled at her and her eyes filled with tears."What's wrong?"
"Mamo-chan I've ruined everything!",Usagi cried."I can't walk without
tripping!I can't be graceful!I can't even handle my champagne and I've
ruined my DRESS!" She crouched in a ball and put her head to her knees.
"Darling don't cry.",he answered lifting her chin."What makes you
think you've ruin anything?" Usagi looked up at him with her teary
blue eyes and she sniffled.
"I heard these two women talking about me",she replied expressionless
and her eyes hard."You should have heard what they called me. An
airhead. A pig. Worse of all,all of it's TRUE!" His eyes narrowed and
something in him made Mamoru feel suspicious.
"Usako,how did these women look like?" She glanced at him and recapped
the events in her head. Two women...in their twenties...a blond..a
redhead. She could hear their laughter and she clenched her fist.
"Both about twenty,one blond,one redhead...God I'd love to get
them alone and...",she said angrily. Mamoru thought for awhile;there
were a lot of blondes and redheads in this party.'Who would have a
reason to hate Usako?' He thought to himself bewildered and thought
struck him. Why didn't he think of it before?Only that witch Nurse
Juno and her stupid friends would do this kind of thing. His eyes
blazed at the thought.
"Perhaps you didn't realize who you were listening to",he said
and her eyes looked at him perplexed. What did he mean?He shook his
head."Just forget about it,Usako" Mamoru gazed in her baby blues
momentarily but regain himself."Listen to me,you are not an airhead.
In fact you are smarter than you think you are. Don't listen to those
idiots,they're just jealous cause you are everything they wanna be"
"Sometimes I feel as if I can't be everything that people want me to
be",she said to him."Half my life I had people yell in my ear telling
me I HAD to be like this...or I have to be like that. Than after I
became Sailormoon everyone was expecting more. Luna...Rei...no one ever
wanted me for ME"
"That's not true. Usako I would love you if you had the IQ of a four
year old. Don't become something because everyone expects it. Be what
you want to be. Just know I'm right behind you in case you need someone
to hold your hair up or something" She giggled softly and he kissed her
forehead."What do want right now?" Usagi gazed up at him with sadness
and regret.
"I...I..wanna go home",she said quietly.'I hate to make him leave. This
party is for him. I'm so selfish' Usagi kept her feelings in refusing
to make him feel any worse. What kind of wife was she?To make her
husband leave his own party. She was such a JERK."I'm so sorry
Mamo-chan" A tear fell from her eye and he wiped it away.
"No more tears Usako",Mamoru said to her firmly."Like I said in the
first place I'd rather spend my evening with you ALONE anyways" He
grinned at her and Usagi forced a smile on her face. She felt horrible.
He was being so sweet!"Let's take a walk instead of driving. I'll tell
one of my colleagues to bring the car back home. The fresh air will make
you feel better" She nodded and he helped her up. Putting a supporting
arm around her waist they walked out. Rei walked up to them and held up
Usagi's things.
"Are you alright Usa?",she asked concerned. Her friend have never been
so pale and sickly looking. The many effects of champagne. That'll show
Usa not to drink so much!Rei couldn't help but worry though.
"I'm fine",she said quickly."We're going to take a walk"
"NOW!",Rei said loudly and glanced at her watch."It's after midnight!
It's dangerous!"
"Who do you think you're talking to?",Mamoru asked her with a grin
referring to their alter egos."We're not as helpless as we look" She
smiled in spite of herself. She nodded approvingly.
"Well...have fun",she said and the two walked out into the lobby.
"Leaving so soon?",a voice asked behind them. Nurse Juno stood against
a wall,a cigarette in her bony fingers. She walked up to them and smiled
wickedly."Awww too bad"
"Leave my wife alone",Mamoru said defensively.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not concerned with her mousy self" She gazed
at Mamoru and stood in front of him. Her alcoholic breath stinging
Mamoru's nose. He felt like putting his hand on his nose."It's YOU I
want" Usagi let go of her husband and moved in the woman's face.
Their eyes clashed in a war and the woman growled at the petite Usagi.
"Stay away from MY husband",she said firmly and stood as tall as she
could. Taking the woman's cigarette she tapped it lightly so that the
hot ashes spilled on her open-toed heels. Nurse Juno angrily snapped
the cigarette away.
"Make me",the woman countered,her nose in the air. Usagi held her fist
up heading towards woman.
"Why I should just...",she said and Mamoru held her back.
"Let it go,Usako",he instructed. Usagi looked at him and the fire in
her eyes quickly calmed.'I'm sorry Mamo-chan' She slowly nodded at him
and he released her. The two walked away... but not before Usagi landed
a hard punch into the Nurse Juno's stomach.
************************************************
"Nice punch Usako!",Mamoru exclaimed as they walked through the
park. The sound of crickets penetrated their ears and the heat of the
night surrounded them in a blanket. Usagi's laughter echoed through
the air. He loved to hear it. Holding her hand tightly as they walked
over the grass,Mamoru glanced at her savoring her beauty. Each time he
looked at her,it was like the first time. The same lump in his
throat came to him. At the moment her face shone brightly,a
small smile on her lips. Her obvious victory gave her a sense of pride
and though he didn't support fighting unless necessary,he had to admit
he was PROUD.
"All that time fighting didn't go to waste!",she joked. Taking a deep
breath and inhaling the warm summer air,she felt content."It's so
beautiful out here" Mamoru looked at her silhouette in the moonlight,
her golden hair blowing in the breeze and the blue in her eyes
glistening. The grass crunched loudly under their feet and he stopped
on a small hill overlooking the park. A silence formed between them
and Mamoru between to close it up with a kiss. Their lips began to meet
when...SWISH!
"Wha-",Mamoru yelled as the sprinklers came on. They stood in surprise
as they were both soaked head to toe. Mamoru looked at Usagi who was
frozen in place. Her white dress clinging to her body. She looked up
to him expressionless.
"MAMO-CHAN!!!",Usagi screamed at him as she laughed. A bright smile on
her lips."Did you do this purpose or something?!" She held her soaked
skirt in her hands."Oh man!This is gonna be so hard to clean!"
"Actually I kind of like even more now",he answered as he looked at her
dress which stuck to her every curve. He smiled wickedly at her.
"You would!",she responded giving him a sexy grin. She bent her hands
as if to strangle him. Before she could take action Mamoru swept her
up in his strong arms. He ran through the grass as the water sprung up
from the sprinklers. She giggled loudly and her shriek pierce the air.
He began to spin her around making them both dizzy though they were
having the time of their life."Mamo-chan I think I'm gonna be sick"
He stopped but being off balanced they fell to ground."Nice going
Tuxedo Kamen" She laughed and took his hand. Squeezing it tightly
they looked up at the star-filled night. The crescent moon hung
in the sky like it was watching over the little people of the
world. It gave her a sense of being watched over,protecting her.
"Oh starry night",she whispered as she laid on the grass. It didn't
matter that she was getting grass all over herself,it was just being
there with her love that mattered. Mamo-chan was beside her looking at
his wife whose eyes shone like bright torches. They stared at one
another for a moment communicating with their eyes. He tightened his
grip on her hand and leaned his head nearer to hers.
"One day",he said in her ear."We're going to dance around the stars"
"Oh yeah",Usagi answered skeptically."How are we going to dance with
no oxygen,huh?We're more likely to drop dead than dance"
"See I told you,you're no airhead Usako",he said and chuckled.
"I guess it was a tidbit of information Ami must have stuffed in my
head",she told him and shrugged."It's possible. If we want things bad
enough,we'll get them" He had never her heard so serious. Maybe the
champagne was getting to her.'It's just the Neo-Queen in her talking'
He twirled her blond hair with his finger and she turned to him.
Sitting up she kissed while he laid.
"I love you Usako",he softly whispered to her."I'd give you the world
if you asked"
"That won't be necessary",she answered and laid on his chest."We will
be ruling Crystal Tokyo after all" They chuckled and both of them
got up. Putting his arm around Usagi leaned against him. Then she stopped
and wrapped her arms around his neck."I do have ONE request"
He raised his eyebrows."What?"
"When we get home you have to help me out of this soaking dress",Usagi
said suggestively and he smiled down at her. Mamoru let go of her and
gave her a mock bow. She giggled as he rose.
"As you wish,your majesty",Mamoru said.
**********************************************
Usagi felt like a trainwreck. She had spent half her night running to
the bathroom. Back and forth...Back and forth....Half way through the
night she gave up and decided to just sleep in the bathroom. Now she
knew the meaning of a hangover. She couldn't even go to work. Yawning
she glanced at the clock.9:30p.m.?!Usagi had slept a whole day!Getting
up she looked in the mirror,her eyes weren't so bloodshot anymore.
Changing into another nightgown she combed her tangled hair.
Where was Mamo-chan?He should have been home by now,sleeping next to
her. Usagi walked into the living room and her eyes softened when she
saw Mamoru sleeping peacefully on the couch. Putting a blanket on him,
she began to clean up. As she neared the coffee table something caught
her eye. A folded paper labeled:USAKO.'I wonder what this is' Carefully
she opened the note.'A 100 REASONS WHY I LOVE USAKO' Her eyes widened
and Usagi began to read the typed list.
1.I love the way she wakes up late every morning.
2.I love her "odangos".
3.I love the sound of her voice(even when she wails!)
And so the list went on listing the way he loved all her perfections
...and unperfections. A smile lit her face as she read and her eyes
darted from reason to reason. Usagi felt as though her heart would
explode. Finally she had reached one hundred and looking at this reason
her eyes filled with tears.
100.I love her for just being her. Perfect or Unperfect.
"This is so beautiful",she whispered to herself. Tears ran down her
ivory face. Walking over to Mamoru she kneel before the couch where he
slept.
Touching his face with her hand Usagi kissed him softly and a tear fell
on him making awaken. His eyes opened slowly to see his adoringly
beautiful wife whose eyes were full of tears. He sat up and wiped them
away.
"What's wrong?" She couldn't speak and so she held the list up. Without
a word she kissed him passionately almost hungrily. He wrapped his arms
around her waist and touched her smooth back.
"Thank you",she whispered and pulled him up. Leading him to their
bedroom she winked at Mamoru."Now let me REALLY thank you" With that
she closed the door behind them.
******************************************
Mamoru laid next to a naked Usagi,a blanket pulled up to their waists.
Her head laid on his shoulder as she laid on her chest exposing her
back. A wave of panic struck him and he sat up.'What was that?!'
"Mamo-chan what happened?",Usagi asked and rubbed her eyes. Mamoru
looked at her with fear in his dark eyes.
"Did you feel that?",he said to her.
"What?" Concerned Usagi rubbed her husband's shoulders and kissed
his neck. He took one of her hands and grasped it tightly.
"That feeling",he explained."Like something's happening,it was like
a shock. Something's wrong"
"Honey",Usagi said to him."You need to relax,you've been working too
hard. Laid back down and get some sleep we've had a busy night"
Shrugging he laid back down but a nagging feeling spread from within
him. Just in case he took out his transformation rose from a drawer
and placed it near him. Then as he closed his eyes Mamoru protectively
tightened his embrace around Usagi.
********************************************
Meditating Rei sat peacefully on the floor,her senses calmed. Without
warning however a foreboding feeling came over her. Her eyes
snapped opened and she stood up but a fit of dizziness made her
sit back down.'Something's wrong' As if on cue Sonya began to
cry loudly like she had felt it too. Perhaps she did. Rei walked
over to the crib and rocked her child.
"Don't cry Sonya.You wouldn't want to wake daddy,would you?",Rei
told her daughter and immediately she calmed herself. Walking over
to a window she looked up at the moon and a name escape her lips.
"Usagi"
*********************************************
"From the top!",the director yelled at Minako.Sighing the beautiful
blond looked at the script again. She had a month to memorize these
lines and this guy was driving her nuts. Quickly she read over the
words again and prepared to take her place on the stage. Minako
looked over the handsome actor in front her and winked. She may
have hated the director but somethings made it worthwhile!"Okay
action!"
"How can you tell me it's over?!",Minako cried as she said her line.
False tears ran down her face and she pretended to look deeply in
love with him.
"Victoria I just don't love you anymore",the actor replied coldly.
"I'm sorry" She attempted to hold him but he took by the wrists and
pushed her away.
Jacob please-" Minako suddenly fell to the floor and put her hands on
the side of her head. The pressure in her head made her feel as if she
couldn't breathe.'Usagi' Quickly her head seemed to clear and without
a thought she gathered her things.
"Where are you going?",the director shouted at her as she opened the
exit door.
"Home",Minako answered.
**********************************************
Her feet clicked against the hardwood floor of the library and
Ami skimmed over the book. Greg sat in a nearby table watching the
lovely blue haired girl. Walking back to the table she smiled at
him but the expression on her face changed drastically in a matter
of second. Her hands clenched the book tightly as the warning feeling
came over her. Greg placed his hand on hers and his eyes went wide as
the future events flashed in his mind. He looked at her and she nodded.
"Get the first plane back to Japan.We need to go back NOW",Ami
commanded and without another word the two left.
************************************************
Makoto mixed the batter while she licked a spoon of frosting and a
memory of Usagi flashed in her mind. Laughing she hummed a tune and
aruptedly with no thought Makoto dropped the bowl. It fell in a
thousand pieces,batter all over the floor. Without bothering to clean
it up she went to the phone. Dialing she listened for someone to pick
up the phone.
"Hello?Hi,I need a one way ticket to Tokyo,Japan please",she ordered
and listened the person talking."I'll pick it up at the box office.
Thank you. Bye" Makoto went to her room to pack while trying to
comprehend the awesome feeling of danger within her."Usagi,please be
okay. I'm coming"
*************************************************
Haruka and Mirichu shot up in bed from their peaceful sleep. It had
come in an instant. That feeling. Looking at one another they knew the
other felt it also.
"What's happening?",Mirichu asked concerned and Haruka wrapped her
arms around her."I can't feel the evil,it's so strong" They made eye
contact and nodded. Throwing their covers off they walked to their
closet pulling out everything they'd need. The door opened and light
poured forth from the hallway. There stood a teenage Hotaru in a long
nightgown,her dark eyes filled with worry. Her skin was pale and
something in her was fragile but strong. They stopped and stared at
her for a moment.
"I know",she stated."Usagi needs us"
**************************************************
Setsuna stood at the Time Gate.She didn't need to rush about. She
knew what was happening. She knew of the danger to come. Someone was
was alterating the Timeline.They wanted to kill. Setsuna could feel
the evil of the force. So strong.
"Senshi,my friends,be careful",she whispered and closed her eyes.
Pictures of her fellow warrior flashed in her head. One picture
made her cringed in worry."Especially you Usagi"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay so part two is done!Very long huh?Okay so I'm using Japanese
names for the Senshi but for the others that I'm not. Also everyone is
gonna just call Minako,Mina for short. I hope you're liking this. I know
it seems like the same old fighting story but trust me it's not. I was
