I know that Running into My Fates in not completed and I just started Learning to Live My Life, but this one came to me and I will run with it.
"This is my last breath. I can't take it anymore," the woman murmured to the winds as she stood overlooking the large ocean, her blond hair flying around her small form as if to pull her over the edge. "I just can't handle the pain anymore." With that she took one step, her pale toes peeking out from underneath her long, fluttering white gown. The ground below her toe crumbled from the weight and fell to the waves crashing below her. With one more gulp of air the woman jumped, her form a shadow as she fell before the sunset, the colors so bright compared to her gloom.
Usagi sat up with a gasp, her small form shivering under her large pink and purple comforter. She looked around her at her large room that she had been living in for the last year and closed her eyes again before falling back on a sigh.
'What the hell was that?' she asked herself as she replayed the dream in her head. 'Who was that? Was that me?' Sighing again she glanced over at her clock, the pink bunny so friendly after such a nightmare of a year. It's digital display revealed that it was only six in the morning. This had become such a ritual with her lately. She had left her home just a year ago after the dreams had started and now she was nineteen living with her friends Hakura and Michiru who were both well into the late twenties. Her scouts had no idea where to find her, but she did continue to help them fight as she was not that far from where they lived, they were just not aware of it. She was planning to leave Tokyo, but when the outer scouts had heard this they had told her that she could not leave. She needed to stay here so after much arguing with the older scouts she agreed to living with them until she turned the age of twenty. They were not happy with that part but she would not compromise on that. Getting out of bed she headed for the bathroom where she spent the next thirty minutes in the tub soaking.
Mamoru sat down at the counter, his eyes glancing over to the table where four familiar faces sat, their expressions blank, yet sad. It had been that way for the last year. At first they had seemed angry, but with each passing month they had grown sadder and less angry. In that time he had not seen the Odango with them. He had almost asked them about it, but then thought better about that. It would make it look like cared that the little trouble maker was missing. Sure, it was true. He did miss her a lot, but there was nothing he could do. He had also noticed that Sailor Moon had seemed a little more distant lately. She had continued showing up, but she had not stayed with her friends, her original group. No, now she had these new scouts that she arrived and left with. This was new to him as he had always seen the small group together. Motoki came over and handed him his coffee. It seemed that his friend had seem him looking over at the girls.
"They seem pretty down about her leaving. I heard that she didn't leave a note, but just the other day sent them a letter," the blond male stated. Mamoru looked over at him in shock.
"Really? Just out of the blue?" That was strange. For a girl that up and disappeared that was a little rare for them to contact family or friends a year down the road. "What about the family?"
"Yeah, they got one too. In fact I received one as well. That was how I knew about the one that the girls received. Usagi sent one to them that contained one for her family, one for me and Unazuki as well as one for one other person. They weren't sure if they were going to give it to him though." At this Mamoru was really shocked. One for a guy? Did the little Odango have a boyfriend? "She told me some real serious stuff and then she told me something that had been her secret for a while now, but I had long figured it out," Motoki said with his hand behind his head.
"Really? What was it about?" His friend looked at him in shock.
"Really Mamoru?! Do you think that a person that keeps your big secret about Tuxedo Mask would dare divulge the secret of a nineteen year old girl?" Mamoru stood up quickly to grab the blond's mouth as he looked around to make sure no one had heard the secret that just about spilled out of Motoki's big mouth.
"Shut up," the dark haired male hissed as he sat down, his seat now hot with the coffee that he had spilt on it in his haste to shut the other male's mouth. "Damn!" he cussed as he stood up to wipe off his black jeans. "Fucking hell!" Motoki started to chuckle as he held out a large towel for his friend to clean his pants and the stool that he had been sitting at while he cleaned off the counter and headed to the back to procure another cup of coffee for Mamoru. While he was gone Mamoru managed to clean himself and the stool up as well as get some thoughts in before his nosy friend could return.
'Does she really have a boyfriend? I never saw her with any guy much less one specific guy.' Just then the girls got up from the table and headed out.
"Bye!" Motoki yelled causing Mamoru to jump again.
"When the fuck did you get back?" he growled. His friend just smiled sheepishly. "Whatever. I got to go." With that he headed out the door. He was going to find out what the hell was going on.
Rei walked between Minako and Makoto while Ami walked next to Minako. All of them were very confused. What was going on with their leader? She had sent them a letter that made them think that she was done being a scout yet at the same time would continue to lead them.
"I can't believe that she said that you get to be the leader," Rei whined as she looked over at the leggy blond. "I mean if anyone should be leader it should be me! I am smart and the most talented!" All the girls glared at her.
"That is why she didn't make you the leader," Mako pointed out. "You only think about yourself. Yes, you are smart, but Mina has the most talent in leadership." Ami smiled sadly. This was so out of character for their leader. She had just up and left and no one, not even her family could find her. She still came to the battles, but she didn't take long to defeat the bad guy and she never seemed to require Tuxedo Mask's assistance. If one was to look at her and then at their Usagi you would think that the both of them were two different people. Sure, Usagi had been getting better, but she still required assistance in getting out of jams that she got stuck in, but now she was completely detached and acted like the leader that she was. Now she was giving that spot up without telling them why. What was up with her?
Little did they know that Mamoru was walking behind them. He had intended to ask them about Usagi, but now what they were talking about was way more interesting. Who were they talking about giving up leadership? Were they talking about Usagi? Leadership?
"She just can't decide that she no longer wants to be a scout can she?" Ami inquired out loud.
"Well, truthfully it seems that she can. According to her letter she was never there in the Silver Millennium. There was no such scout. She thinks that Luna got it all wrong in making her a scout, but she says that she was there, but not as a Sailor scout," Mako pointed out. "Also she wants us to deliver this letter to Tuxedo Mask. I am not sure that we should, but I guess we have to."
'Silver Millennium? Scouts? A letter for me? What is going on here?' Mamoru asked himself. What was up with Usagi? Who was she? They implied that she was a Sailor scout so which one was she and which ones were these girls? "Girls," he called out, their attention drawn to him, all their faces drawn in fear.
'Did he hear us?' they all thought in unison. He smirked at them. He could tell what they were thinking and they knew he had heard them. They had been careless.
"Yes, I heard what you were talking about. Mind coming over to my place, I believe we have something in common to discuss?" Mina nodded to the surprise of the other girls.
"I believe we do as well."
Well, I hope that you enjoyed this new story as well. Please review.
