Once Usagi pushed the panic button on the communicator, all four of the Senshi were listening and partially seeing what was happening. They were partially seeing it because they could only see what Usagi's wrist would allow, but the audio was loud and clear.

Ami and Makoto were already together at the Arcade when they got the call. They huddled in their booth to keep others from listening in. Once the transmission was cut off, Makoto and Ami got up and ran to where they thought Mamoru was.

Makoto called Minako and Rei through the communicator to see if they were on their way.

Rei was sprinting on the other end. "Yeah I'm almost there! Is this guy nuts or what? Do you think Mamoru is ok?"

Ami slid into the alley that was closest to the arcade and yelled. "Here he is! I found him!"

Makoto ran up. "Mamoru, can you speak? Say something if you can!"

Mamoru's eyes were red and wet from tears, from both emotional and physical pain. He attempted to clear his throat and spoke with a raspy and thin voice. "He" *cough* "He took her! He just *coughs* took her!"

Minako's eyes filled with tears in worry. She looked to the other three Senshi. "We've lost her. How are we supposed to know what he's going to do with her?"

Ami shook her head with a serious expression. "We haven't lost her. We can track her."

Ami and Rei helped Mamoru up slowly. While grasping at his throat, he tried to think clearly. He was trying to think of some sort of clue that would already give them an idea of where they were headed.

Hiroto had been swiftly walking back towards his apartment with Usagi's wrist tightly in his hand. She did her best to play along, but couldn't stop thinking about Mamoru and if the girls were going to get to him on time. I pressed the panic button. The minute I pressed it, the gps should have started working. They would've gone to him first to help him, right? I hope he's ok.

Before Usagi knew it, Hiroto was dragging her into a building and into an elevator. His eyes were persistent and purposeful. She knew he had a plan, she just had no idea what it entailed.

She locked eyes with him and his features softened. "Don't worry, bunny. I'll just grab a few things and we'll be on our way."

She looked at him cautiously. "Where are we going?"

"Oh, we're leaving the country tonight. Off to Europe. Don't worry, I have money saved. I'll take care of you from now on."

She furrowed her brows and squinted her eyes. "We're leaving? Wait, I can't! I have school! My parents! They - "

"They are no longer a part of your life, bunny. And don't worry about school. You'll be taking care of me, as my wife. You have no need for further education."

Usagi banged her head against the elevator wall. Are you serious right now? Usagi. You are Sailor Moon. Why are you letting him treat you like this? You are NOT a helpless little girl! You fight monsters! IN YOUR SPARE TIME!

The elevator doors opened with a ding and Hiroto flashed a smile. "Here we are! It'll be real quick."

He ran off to the third door down the hall on the right, opened it quickly, and ran in.

Now's my chance.

Usagi pulled out her brooch and shouted the words to transform. Pink ribbons and light filled the dim hallway and as the lights faded, so did Usagi's fear. Her anger filled her. All that he had done. To her, to her family, and especially to Mamoru. It ends now. She started to walk, but then paused.

Wait. What do I do to him? Kick his butt? I can't moondust him. He's a human being…I can warn him, I guess. Yeah. I'll tell him to stay away from Usagi. Like I planned to earlier.

She took off in a sprint towards the door and kept going until she found Hiroto in his bedroom.

"Hey! YOU!"

Hiroto spun around. "Sailor Moon?"

"That's right."

Hiroto's confusion overwhelmed him. "What are you doing here?"

"I've been noticing what you're doing to Usagi. Stop it! Stop it NOW!"

Hiroto chuckled. "What I'm doing to Usagi? I've done nothing to Usagi, I love her."

Oh that's right, Usa. He doesn't understand that his weird creepy idea of love is wrong. She looked around for a few seconds searching for something to say. "…ooookay then, what you did to Mamoru!"

Hiroto reddened.

Sailor Moon scoffed. "Got you on that one! It is NOT okay to go around hitting people in the throats with pieces of wood! It's my job to protect the people of this city from monsters in all forms. You, Hiroto, have been behaving like a monster!"

Hiroto's jaw dropped. "How could you possibly know that I-?"

"Like I said, it's my job to protect this city and you're endangering it. Making others be with you by force is not the right way to love!"

Hiroto started to protest and she interrupted him.

"Don't you dare try to deny it! Usagi has told you many times that she did not care for you in that way and only told you so earlier to save her boyfriend's life!"

Hiroto's mind was reeling. Sailor Moon? In my apartment? How did she know all of this? How does she know how Usagi feels? She's getting in the way. He caught the last sentence she spoke. Saved her boyfriend's life. The gun.

Hiroto slowly reached into his pocket while Sailor Moon continued to rant. He focused on his breathing and waited for the perfect moment for her to drop her guard.

Minako sniffled back the tears. "That's right! We can track her!"

Ami brought out the transmitter. She pointed to a yellow light. "Ok, we're here and she's…"

She pointed to a pink light. "Here!"

Rei looked to Minako. "Should we transform?"

Mamoru nodded. Minako, seeing Mamoru's opinion, agreed and nodded her head. "This guy pulled out a gun on Mamoru. We need to come at this as cautiously as possible."

The alley erupted into bright blue, green, red, and orange lights. All four girls turned to look at Mamoru who was feeling at his throat and making sure that he was fit enough to join in their battle. After he cleared his throat a few times, he extended his left arm and flicked his wrist. In a bright white light, he transformed into the Tuxedo Kamen that they were all so familiar with.

Sailor Mars shook her head. "It's still so surreal that you're Tuxedo Kamen."

Sailor Mercury nodded and then motioned her head towards the direction of Usagi. "Alright, let's go guys, she's not far."

All five ran off towards the pink light determined to save Usagi.

Sailor Moon was getting fed up. Here she was trying to talk some sense into Hiroto and he was just standing there. Unexpressive. She groaned loudly. "Am I making myself clear? Are you going to leave Usagi alone?!"

Hiroto smirked slightly. "Yes, I understand."

Sailor Moon looked back at him with wide eyes. "You do?"

Hiroto nodded.

Moon cleared her throat. "Well, good. Now I don't want you to ever bother Usagi again, or anyone affiliated with her."

Hiroto looked up at Sailor Moon and gave her an expression that made her feel uneasy. It was as if she just became an obstacle, something he needed to eliminate. It made her stomach drop and her mouth dry. She got into her fighting stance to get ready, but she wasn't ready for what Hiroto had planned.

Within 2 seconds, his face became evil; devilish, and he pulled out the gun and fired.

The Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen had been sprinting with all they had. They made the block of Hiroto's apartment and started climbing up the fire escape.

Ami's eyes were locked on the transmitter. "It looks like she's on the 5th floor!"

Tuxedo Kamen raced ahead the other Senshi determined to protect his Usako. He got to the fifth floor and as he slowly pulled up the window, he heard a gunshot. His face whitened, his stomach sank, and his heart filled with dread. He immediately felt the pain. Cringing and fighting everything in him not to cry out from the agony of the wound, he kept going. He knew she wasn't dead. If she was dead, he would be dead. He knew that the minute he started saving her in battle. At first, it was his drive in protecting her. Now he knew that it was because they were linked; body to body, soul to soul.

He came in by what looked like a back bedroom and quickly ran with light feet towards where he knew she was. He came down the hall and saw Hiroto with the gun walking towards his bleeding Usako. Tuxedo Kamen's eyes filled with fury and fire and he sprinted to attack Hiroto.

Sailor Moon screamed in pain and fell to the floor. Hiroto walked slowly up to her and stared at her with cold eyes. He raised the gun to shoot her a second time and while holding it, he said wildly, "she is MINE and NO ONE WILL TAKE HER FROM ME!"

His finger went for the trigger and within that same instant, Tuxedo Kamen tackled him to the ground from the side. The gun went off with the bullet hitting the ceiling. Kamen slammed Hiroto's hand against the floor to disarm him and kicked the gun across the floor.

The Senshi ran in only to see Sailor Moon bleeding on the floor and Tuxedo Kamen struggling with Hiroto across the room. Sailor Venus rushed to Sailor Moon while Sailor Mercury pulled out her phone to call for an ambulance and police. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter hurriedly made their way across the room to assist Kamen in controlling Hiroto. Hiroto wiggled his way out of Kamen's grip and ran for the gun. "Mars Fire Soul!" Sailor Mars fire blocked Hiroto's path to the pistol and Kamen sprinted for him again. Hiroto kicked Kamen in the stomach, dropped to the floor and rolled in the direction of the gun. Sailor Jupiter ran for the gun as well and grabbed it at the same time Hiroto did. Jupiter turned her back against Hiroto and elbowed him in the stomach with her free hand. Hiroto doubled over in pain, but didn't release the gun from his grasp. Kamen came up behind Hiroto and put him inside a headlock to subdue him. Mars became anxious over the three fighting over the gun and didn't want to become the fourth. She watched the struggle with precision and slowly lit her fingertips; ready to strike Hiroto at the most opportune time.

Sirens filled the background as Sailor Venus and Mercury kept pressure on Sailor Moon's wound. Tears fell from both their eyes as they saw their leader's blood pool on the floor. Mercury attempted to keep her lucid. "Moon? Please keep your eyes open. Help is on the way."

Venus looked up when she heard Kamen's cursing and Jupiter's groans as Hiroto fought them both off to gain control of the gun. She looked over to Mercury who then nodded approval. Venus got up to help when she saw Hiroto start to turn the gun towards Kamen. She had not taken two steps before the gun went off again. Everyone in the room's hearts dropped and their breathing halted. Both Kamen and Hiroto fell to the floor and began seeping out of a bullet wound in Hiroto's chest. He started to breathe heavily and could only say one word over and over, "Bunny. Bunny. Bunny….bunny…."

The wait at the hospital had exceeded 48hrs and on the Senshi's urging, Mamoru went home to get some sleep. His head rested on the elevator's cold metal wall as it slowly went up to his apartment floor. His eyes were raw from crying and each time he thought about his love, they would sting as they welled up. A coma. I can't believe it. The doctors said they were unsure with how long she'd be in it and that it was a matter that only time would determine the outcome. The elevator made its ding at his floor. He wiped his eyes quickly and started for his door. It was then that he had paused. It was open. His pace slowed as he tried to assess the situation and listened attentively at anything moving in his apartment.

His head slowly started to round the corner to peer in when he was startled by a large man with a mustache walking out. Oddly enough, the large man appeared to be just as startled.

When Mamoru gave him the look of wonder and surprise, the man smirked and pointed at Mamoru. "You're Chiba Mamoru, aren't you?"

"Uhm, yes?"

The man let out a deep chuckle and scratched the side of his head. "She said you'd be surprised. Go ahead and let us know what you think!" He motioned his hand into Mamoru's apartment.

Raising an eyebrow and not having a clue what this strange man was talking about, Mamoru looked into his apartment with suspicion and what he saw nearly tore his heart out of his chest.

It was decorated. With everything he and Usagi had "playfully" picked out at the furniture store at the mall. Every picture, every knickknack, and every pillow. While trying to take it in, the man appeared behind Mamoru once more.

"Do you like it? I'll tell you, that girl of yours went through quite a bit to make it a surprise for you. Even sent us pictures of the apartment and provided the key at the front desk so that we'd be able to let ourselves in to put everything where it was instructed to be. I'm not kidding. Look."

He handed Mamoru a group of papers stapled together with pictures glued onto them and marker and pen scribbles on where everything needed to be and by what time.

Mamoru couldn't help but smile at her thoroughness. So that's what she was doing when she had me go get that pretzel.

The man spoke again. "Alright well we're done here. Here's your key. C'mon guys!"

2 other men of the same build followed him out the door and closed it. Mamoru stood in silence holding the papers for about 20 secs before the tears built up again. What the hell am I doing here? I need to be with her! He ran out the door with the papers in hand and headed straight back to the hospital.

He ran through the doors of the hospital and straight to Usagi's room. Minako was the only one there, the other three had gone for coffee, and Minako had agreed to stay with Usagi in case she woke up. She stood up at Mamoru's intrusion and could only continue to stand as she watched him fall to his knees next to Usagi's hospital bed. Mamoru's tears fell and his sniffles followed as he pulled the papers up by Usagi's face. His voice pained through the tears. "Usako, I got your gift. It came today." He chuckled through the tears, "you even got that side table that I liked that you made your classic 'ew' face at."

He looked up at his sleeping Usagi and his tears turned into sobs. "Please wake up, Usagi. Please." He grabbed her hand and put his forehead on her thigh. "You're the only one I've cared for. The only one who's cared for me! I can't lose you!"

Minako stood paralyzed in the corner of the room with silent tears rolling down her cheeks.

Ami, Rei, and Makoto came in quietly with their coffees and saw the spectacle. They couldn't speak, but their hearts hurt for their Princess and her Prince.

The silence of the room was filled with Mamoru's sobs and after a few moments, the girls' ears perked up to another noise; a moan of sorts. All four looked up to Usagi and saw her move her head slightly and furrow her eyebrows. Ami gasped and let out a cry causing Mamoru to look up. "Usako?"

Usagi's head was spinning. Such pain. Her voice was raspy. "MMMMmmmmmm. Oww."

Mamoru's grip on her hand tightened. "Usako! You're awake! How're you feeling?"

"Bullets suck." The Senshi chuckled and Mamoru smirked.

Usagi's eyes widened. "Hiroto?"

Mamoru shook his head.

Usagi looked down. "I really tried. I tried to reason with him."

Mamoru put his fingertips on Usagi's cheek. "It isn't your fault, my love. It wasn't anyone's fault."
