PG-13 for everyone who cares or not! ' '=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... - Joe Cocker and J.Hiatt HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME(Part 6) BY:JLaLa "What's wrong with me?!",Mamoru yelled at Ami.Tears of confusion ran down both their faces.Ami stood in front of him,head down in shame.She felt absurd for trying to hide tears he couldn't even see.It was almost definite about what had happened to him.Mamoru struggled to calm himself but the darkness that surrounded him filled him with fear.What was happening to him scared him more than any monster he had ever fought."AMI,GODDAMN IT!TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG-" "I DON'T KNOW!",Ami screamed back and collapsed to the floor crying. She had scanned him moments ago and found that the poison was running to his veins,pulsing to every part of his body.Perhaps making it permanent.She had to get it together though."Mamoru,calm down.We wouldn't want to wake Usagi,would we?" "Usako...",he breathed and tears filled his eyes again.His wife.His beautiful,fragile wife.What kind of mess had he gotten himself into? How could he protect her now?The feeling of failure weighed down on him. "I'll be quiet" He looked up."So you're certain I'm..." He couldn't say that word just yet. "No,we can still try",Ami said quietly when the door opened and Rei entered breezily.She smiled widely at Mamoru not noticing the tearstains on his cheeks. "You're awake!",Rei said and opened the curtains letting some air in. "Makoto's cooked up a storm in there!I hope you don't mind Mamoru but we're all starving and-" She stopped in her tracks and looked at Ami who was gazing solemnly at her hands."What's wrong?" Her lit up face toned down and Rei looked at Mamoru,whose blank eyes couldn't meet her gaze. "Mamoru tell me.What is Rei wearing?",Ami questioned and Rei looked at her surprised.'What's going on?Why is Ami doing this?' Suddenly Rei pieced it together and glanced at Ami who nodded telling her what she thought may be true. "Oh my God" Putting a hand on her mouth to keep her sobs in,Rei stood straight reassuring herself things were alright.He would know what she was wearing. "Now try",Ami said.Mamoru squinted and concentrated in getting an image of Rei.Darkness.'Come on.You can do this'He tried opening and closing his eyes.Rubbing them trying to clear them up.In desperation he even tried cleaning them out by rubbing his tears into them.He had to try. He had to see.He just had to.... ********************************************** Rei closed the door and led Ami to the living room.Ami's eyes were deeply distressed,tired and Rei comfortingly put an arm around her friend.Mamoru was asleep,exhausted from his efforts.He had willpower but she had seen it fading as his attempts failed.She could feel in within her.The sense of trouble over the horizon.Rei heard Ami whimper and quickly stopped her by grabbing her shoulders and shaking them. "Ami calm down!",she hissed but stopped when she saw how shaken Ami was.She knew Ami blamed herself for this happening.It was foolish to think that she could find a cure to destroy this unknown poison. "It was not your fault,alright?We don't know what kind of thing this is yet.It's better that you didn't do anything,for all you know if you tried you might have made it worse or something.You're strong Ami.Show that you are.This is exactly what Nephrus wants us to do.Panic.If we do, he'll win.You just have to keep trying until you do find a cure for this.Don't cry now,cry when we win this fight and cure Mamoru" Ami looked up at Rei's strong eyes and within she felt her strength building. She nodded."Yes Rei.We'll fight.We'll win.We'll cure our friend" Ami smoothed her clothing out and took a shaky breath.She sure did hate being the bearer of bad news though.They entered the room and when Ami looked at Greg she knew that he knew also.He could feel her thoughts and feelings.Without a word he walked to her and embraced her.In his arms for awhile Ami was at peace,it would be short.Rei stood at hall doorway.Her eyes were firm but at same time soft from the tears she had quietly cried.The others were quick to notice and quieted themselves. "How's Usagi?",Rei asked. "Fine.Just a bump but she may be out for awhile",Minako said happy that Usagi was quickly healing."How's Mamoru?" Rei's breath caught inside of her and she took hold of the side of the doorway to support herself.She couldn't get the words out.God it was hard. "Not so good",she said choked and bit her lip.Everyone watched as Rei brashly wiped her face."You see,Mamoru's...he's-blind" "Are you sure?",Makoto asked and got up to hug Rei. "We tried",Ami said and broke into tears on Greg's shoulder.She promised herself you wouldn't cry.To hell with promises. "There has to be a way to reverse it",Mirichu said indignantly."Our Prince needs us.We have to find a cure" Haruka's eyes were darkened by the news and she took Mirichu's hand,squeezing it hard. "My brothers and I will help Ami out",Taiki said and the other two nodded.Seiya sat quietly distracted by one thought.Usagi.How would she react to it?And Mamoru,he wasn't fond of the guy but Nephrus went too far. "Well we have to consider him lucky",Ami said suddenly."If Usagi didn't make him transform,the poison would have killed him" "Who's going to tell the Princess?",Setsuna inquired and immediatly it was quiet.Everyone thought of their happy,go-lucky friend who didn't even want to fight in the first place.They looked at one another in despair. "I will",Rei said breaking the tension in the air."Usa's my best friend" She took in a ragged breath and Minako went to her.She looked into Rei's dark eyes and Minako saw how hard it would be to bring such news.Her own eyes filled thinking of Usagi.She didn't deserve this. "I'll come with you",Minako said gently and took her friend's hand. "Should we wake her?" Rei shook her head."No.Tonight let her have good dreams" ************************************************************* The morning sun rose and made the sky a hazy orange.Minako awoke and rubbing her eyes looked around at the Senshi sprawled on the floor. The Lights all sat asleep on dining room chairs,their heads thrown back.Yaten snored lightly and Minako got up.Taking her blanket she wrapped it on him and put a pillow under his head.She put some more blankets around the other Senshi and realized that Rei was gone. Walking into Usagi's room,there sat Rei asleep in a cushioned chair.Her hand had tight hold on Usagi's.Minako sighed and smoothed Rei's hair.How would they get through this?She knew that she was strong.If she would have a nervous breakdown....that was another story.Sunlight streamed through the windows and Minako looked at the morning sun she said a silent prayer.'Dear God',she thought.'Help us. Help me....' *************************************************************** Usagi groggily looked around and finally her eyes focused upon Rei who was flipping through a magazine aimlessly.Her head felt so heavy. "Aren't you a little too old to be reading SEVENTEEN?",Usagi asked and Rei dropped the magazine quickly on her lap.Usagi laughed but stopped when a sharp pain overtook her. "Well this is the only decent reading material you have",Rei argured but smother a giggle.Even in pain Usa still managed to crack a joke. "Are you alright?" "Yeah just peachy",Usagi responded and groaned."Where's everyone?" "Out to eat",Rei answered when Mina entered holding a cup of coffee. "Hey girl!",Minako said perkily though it was a horrible cover up.She hoped she was as good in acting as she thought.Usagi grinned from where she laid but continued to grill Rei. "So who went?",she asked and Rei shifted in her seat.Rei knew exactly what Usagi was doing.She was trying to find out about Mamoru.Minako flashed her a panicked look.All of sudden the words they were trying to say were gone.Usagi noticed the tension and stopped in the middle of her rambling.Her face took on a serious look and she sat up,putting her hands on her lap."What's wrong?Spit it out" "It's about Mamoru",Rei began and Usagi put a hand to her mouth. "Now listen to me Usa.He's not dead but something happened.There was poison on that knife.Enough to kill all of us but when Mamoru turned into Endymion his defenses were stronger.You saved his life" "I did what I had to do",Usagi said getting impatient."Now tell me what happened to Mamo-chan" "Usagi we tried.We really tried but there was nothing we could do",Minako explained with a choked voice and took Usagi's hands."Ami ran tests and scanned him.Taiki and his brothers poured over books this whole day but it was a dead end" "YOU GUYS!PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND!",Usagi yelled frightened about what they were going to say. "He can't see Usa",Rei said and looked at Usagi who was suddenly quiet. Her eyes were blank but Rei could see that she was biting her lip so hard it could draw blood."He's blind" Usagi stared at her silent for a moment but suddenly she began to yelled and sobbed at the same time. "YOU'RE LYING!YOU'RE LYING REI!HE CAN'T BE!HE'S NOT..." Minako ran to Usagi and hugged her.She cried loudly thinking it was her fault.She should have been stabbed,not him.If she only watched what she was doing.Usagi loved him nonetheless.Blind or not.She needed him. Quickly Usagi pushed Minako away and ran from the room.Rei looked at her friend who had slow tears running down her face.She knew that from now on everything changed. ******************************************************************** Mamoru sat up in his bed when he heard a creak from the door opening.He had been awaken by the sounds of an argument.What had happened?Mamoru thought of Usagi who he couldn't take care of.He had failed her.The thought made him angry and he clenched his fists. "Mamo-chan",a soft voice said.Usako.He could feel her soft breath near his face and her delicate hand caressed his face.He was unable to see the small diamond-like tears that fell from her face.He couldn't do this.Quickly Mamoru pushed her hand away. "Don't pity me,Usagi",Mamoru said bitterly and he heard her step back. This was the first time he had not called her by his petname."Go away please" "No,I am your wife and blind or not nothing has changed-",Usagi reassured him. "DON'T YOU SEE!",he interupted loudly."THINGS HAVE CHANGED!NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY THEY HAVE!" Mamoru cringed at his harshness.He was once again pushing everyone away.'It's better this way.She'll be with people who can take care of her and eventually she'll find someone who can protect her like I can't' The thought however of being away from her gave him a undescriable pain.Like the slow thrust of a knife in his heart.This was for her own good though.It was not right to be with someone who couldn't even save his own life,let alone hers. "Mamo-chan,no matter what you say to me you know I don't pity you",she said though another voice nagged her insides.'You've brought this on yourself.If you just watched what you were doing,you would've seen Nephrus.He's blind because of you' Usagi covered her ears and squeezed her eyes shut trying not to hear the inner voice that taunted her.She leaned against the door and tried to stop them. "Just do yourself a favor and leave",Mamoru commanded,his teeth gritting together.He squeezed his blanket tightly and lowered his head. 'She doesn't need another person to be burdened with,she has enough to worry about.Mamoru,do this for her own good.If you truly love her...' His conscience overruled his heart. "Please let's just talk about this-",she pleaded. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Angry and frustrated he grabbed the first thing he could feel and hurled it against the wall.The lamp shattered against the door and he prayed to God he didn't hurt her.Usagi screamed out of fright,but was unharmed."DON'T YOU GET IT?I DON'T WANT YOU IN HERE! I DON'T WANT YOUR PITY!" "Mamo-chan I love you",was her only response.Usagi walked to him and held his hand in pure devotion.Mamoru felt his own eyes welling up. "Don't you see,Usagi?Everything is different now",he said in a sorrowful voice."I can't stay with you but this time it's not because of some dream or anything.It's out of my own freewill" "Well it's not just a one day procedure.We are married and we promised to be with one another till death do us part-",she argued. "TO ME BEING BLIND IS LIKE DEATH!" He would never see her smile or her lovely eyes.Even her odangos.He would never see any of it again. Mamoru could not bear the thought."Please Usagi if you love me,leave" "Okay I'll leave",she said quietly though inside she was being shred to pieces.He was really ending it.She got up but stopped suddenly."One last time,can you please call me Usako?" His head shot up and she knelt next to the bed. "If I do will you leave?",he asked. "Yes",she agreed and another set of tears rolled down her face. He took a deep breath and for a moment he looked at Usagi as if he could see her. "Usako",Mamoru whispered huskily.He look down to cover the tears that threatened to fall.Slowly she got up quietly.Usagi walked to the door and quietly closed the door behind her.She could not say goodbye.It was just too final. *********************************************** As Usagi closed the door,she leaned against it and without a word sank to the ground sobbing.This was not her usual high-pitched cries but deep sorrowful sobs.Her insides felt empty and bare.Her heart was broken,shattered and ripped apart.She drew her knees up and hugged her legs.Laying her head on her knees she unaware that Minako and Rei had walked into the hallway.They watched their friend suffer by herself and Minako ran to her.She drew her friend into a hug but Usagi pushed her away. "LEAVE ME ALONE!",Usagi yelled.In her head she heard Mamoru say those exact words to her.Minako looked at Rei in surprise and the two knew that Usagi would never be the same. *********************************************** Mamoru locked the door to his room,in a way there was something so final to it.He had somehow walked to the door and was now leaning against it.Pushing his hair back,he sighed heavily.Inside an agony filled pain was overtaking his heart.Slowly Mamoru lowered himself to the floor and started to sobbed quietly to himself,unaware that at the moment Usagi was on the other side doing the exact same thing. *********************************************** The sounds of laughing and chatter stopped suddenly when everyone was greeted by the darkness of the apartment.Rei and Minako sat on the couch,their eyes tired and barren.Both looked up wearily when they saw that the others have arrived.Haruka went to check on Usagi but was shocked to see Usagi leaning against Mamoru's door.Her eyes were lifeless and when she saw Haruka she turned her head away. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING?",Haruka yelled as she walked into the living room.Yaten was comforting Minako while the others sat around Rei who was tightly gripping her coffee cup.She looked up at Haruka and her eyes were hard but haggard.She stood up shakily and placed her cup on the table. "I'm sorry",she said in hoarse whisper."But things have taken a turn for the worse" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I hope y'all are liking this!Please keep on reading though I know this wasn't my best chapter.Much love to all my supporters and puh-leeze e-mail meeh!Bye!
