Here we go... sub story 4 from main title one.. confused yet? ^^ Is Mamoru dead? Is Usagi going off the deep end? Will Luna stop opening her mouth at the wrong time? hehe.. only the next chapters will tell *_* geesh.. I sound like an advertisment ^^; HUGE, HUGE thanks to everyone who has emailed me!!!!!!!!! *****HUGS***** I luv you guys! A million and one thanks to my editor, Meara. Without her wisdom I would be +_+ hehe *HUGS* girl ^^ Usual disclaimers; I do not own Sailor Moon, but if I did - I'd send everyone a giant Mamo-chan doll! ^_~ Also, wanna give a shout out to my ittsui-chan, Serenity Raye! *waves* Warning: I will call you! *snicker* I call her way too often *_* Ja minna! See you at the bottom of the page! ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't remember when it started. She would disappear for a while, and we thought nothing of it. I figured she just wanted to be alone. I never stopped to think about what it could mean... I wish I could have prevented half of what happened. If I had stayed with her more, refused to leave when she demanded I did. Or if there was some way I could set her up with someone that could love her like Mamoru did... maybe... But “maybes” and “what if’s” don't change reality. She only wants Mamoru. Why is that the one thing I can't give her? -Minako. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't Let Me Go: Broken Promises Chapter: 4 By: Bethany Edited by: Meara Rated: PG Send all comments, suggestions and Tiggers my direction at Bethany212@aol.com (Insert hint here) All cows go to Serentiy Raye ^_^ Hi Ittsui-chan! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Usagi!" Rei called, opening the door to her bedroom. Her first reaction was to gasp... and that's what she did. "Usagi! Your hair!!" The room was covered in the Princess' long *silver* hair. "What happened?" "I don't know..." Usagi cried. "I woke up this morning and it was like this..." Luna looked up from where she was reading some book. "Her hair was silver in the Silver Millennium... I believe it's turning back that way now." "Does that mean it's almost time?" Rei asked, helping Usagi pull her hair back up into her buns. "Almost time fo-- USAGI!" "Shhh! Minako-chan, close the door so my mom doesn’t see," Usagi hissed. Minako done as she was told and went over to the bed in slow strides. "What happened to *you*?!" "She woke up this morning like that," Luna informed. "Usagi-chan, what did you do last night? Anything different?" Usagi's eyes turned glassy. "I.. I went for a walk and came home." Rei could see the lie in her eyes, but decided for once not to press it. "Any idea what could have caused this?" The Princess shook her head no. "Well, what are we going to do?" Rei blurted. Usagi and Minako looked at each other. "Call Ami," they announced in unison. Rei chuckled lightly, thankful for the calmness in the room; it was a definite change from listening to Usagi cry for Mamoru. ~*~ Sometime Later ~*~ After analyzing Usagi's hair from every possible angle, Ami came to one conclusion. "Use the Luna Pen to turn it back until we figure out why it turned to begin with." "Genius," Minako mumbled. "Pure genius." Doing as she was told, Usagi lifted the pen in the air. After a few minutes, and a light show later; Usagi stood in the middle of the room.... ... with silver hair. "Eeek! What now?!" Minako almost yelled, a handful of Usagi's hair in her hand. "Now you find a way to explain to me what the hell just happened!" All five girls reluctantly looked towards the door and smiled sheepishly at Tsukino Ikuko. "Umm... well, you see.. it's like this Mama..." Usagi stuttered along, nervously picking at her nails. "What did you do? Why is your hair *silver*? What was that pen?" Ikuko demanded in one breath. Usagi flopped down on her bed and raised her knees to her chest. "I'm Sailor Moon," she mumbled. All of the girls gasped, they sort of expected her to deny it, make up some story.. not fess up without much urging. Ikuko fainted dead away. Shaking her head, Usagi walked over to where her mother was laying on the floor. "Now to convince her she never saw anything." Rei smiled wickedly, that was still her Usagi somewhere under there. "I heard that young lady," the woman on the floor mumbled. "Then again, maybe not," Makoto remarked, sighing heavily. "I'll call the others." ~*~ Hour later? that sound good? ~*~ "... and I'm Sailor Saturn," the last Senshi said and sat down. Ikuko and Kenji looked around the room at all of the people in their house. The sailor Senshi?! Their daughter and her friends were *THE* sailor Senshi?!?! "But... where's Tuxedo Kamen?" Ikuko inquired. Rei buried her hands in her face. 'Here it come--' the thought didn't finish itself before Usagi busted out crying. Ikuko's eyes widened... no! It couldn't be! Makoto and Michiru helped Usagi back to her room, leaving the rest of them to explain Tuxedo Kamen, Chiba Mamoru and the Moon Kingdom to Usagi's parents. "What happened? You don't mean to tell me.." Ikuko pleaded with each of the girls in the room. None of them could tell her anything but what she didn't want to hear. "Mamoru is... was Tuxedo Kamen," Luna said quietly. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THAT CAT TALKED!!!" Six groans were heard through out the room. Luna looked up at the Senshi. "Gomen nasai... I thought we had covered that already." ~*~ Cambridge, MA - U.S.A. ~*~ Motoki walked through the gates, holding tightly to Reika's hand. Someone had to come pick up Mamoru's stuff from the U.S. and Usagi was in no shape to do it. So since his fiancée wasn't able, and he had no family; that left Motoki. Everything was so loud, and people were everywhere. After a the longest walk Motoki could remember, they made their way through Logan airport and found their bags. Then they started on the task of hailing a cab. It was dark out, and the streetlights came and went, showing the road they were headed on. Reika had long ago fell asleep and Motoki was straining to keep his eyes open. "Sir?" the driver asked, turning slightly in his seat. Motoki handed him some money and woke Reika up. "We're here sweetie, wake up." Slowly her brown eyes opened and she looked up at him. "Motoki?" "Hai, come on." Slowly they left the cab and looked up at the building. "I.. I don't want to do this tonight," Reika said quietly. Not saying a word, they headed towards a motel instead of the subway that would take them to Harvard Square. ~*~ Back in Tokyo - That Night ~*~ Usagi slipped out of her window, and using the skills she bore as Sailor Moon, gracefully jumped from the balcony. Keeping to the shadows, she slipped down the street - towards Azubu Apartments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yep, this one is even shorter than the rest. Is there a point? Yep... I just hope I know what it is ^_~ Kidding ^^ I really do have a plan for this story. You just wait and see *_* Please email me!! tell me what you think!
