(gomen, I watched Hercules today ^_~) More AN's at bottom - I talk a lot, I know ^^; Luva! Bethany ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know, of all the things in life I've come to expect, this was not one of them. Who had the nerve to call her 'Usako' after Mamoru? I could slap whoever it is, she cried for days after that. You know, I swear if I didn't know any better - it was Mamoru. But sending her roses from the grave? -Reika. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't Let Me Go: Roses Chapter: 2 By: Bethany Edited By: Meara Email: Bethany212@aol.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~*~ Four Months Later ~*~ Luna laid under the bed, with various other things that she didn't want to think of - and cried silently with Usagi. The girl on top of the bed was having one of her bad days, when she would cry for hours on end. "Mamo-chan, I miss you..." she sobbed, clutching a picture of him to her chest. "So much." Suddenly her voice turned angry. "Stupid crystal," she spit. "Useless to me. I can save the world with this stone, but it can't give me the one thing I want." Her anger subsided and she held the crystal before her. "Please bring him back to me... please..." The crystal shined brightly, looking for something in Usagi to heal. But it couldn't help the heartbreak she bore, so it shimmered, then powered down and fell to the locket once again. She pushed it away harshly and stood up. "Luna?" Slowly the black-blue cat came out from under the bed and purred softly as she jumped on the bed. "Hai?" "Just wanted some company," Usagi said sadly, hugging Luna to her. Luna purred softly, putting Usagi to sleep in a matter of minutes. ~*~ Rei's eyes snapped open, a pain coursing through her chest. "Us... Usagi..." The pain intensified, became unbearable. Then just as soon as he came, it was gone. Rei stood up and looked at the fire before her. "What the hell?" Sparks flew from the fire, landing on the floor around the Priestess. Rei brought her hands together and started chanting under her breath. The fire calmed before opening up in the middle, an image appearing. Rei looked into its fiery depths, and gasped before fainting to the floor. ~*~ Motoki slammed the phone down and stared at the ceiling. Reika placed her hand over his and looked up at him questionably. The blonde sat down and closed his eyes. "I can't believe them. They say they STILL have no clue where his stuff is! Damn it, they had better find it!" Reika tried to calm him down with a soothing voice. "It'll turn up." When she received no response, she looked up at Motoki. He was staring at a point beyond her as he started speaking. "Reika, promise me you won't call me crazy." Her eyebrow rose up a bit, but she nodded. "I don't think he's dead," Motoki deadpanned, looking at his fiancé ¦or a reaction. Gulping, Reika tried to stay calm at his sudden statement, and the fact that he seemed to believe it. "Wh.. Why do you say that?" ~*~ Ami knocked lightly on the door with the bunny sign that said 'Usagi'. A low whisper from inside bid her to come in. Slowly she came in and looked around the room; shocked. Pink roses were everywhere. "What?" the genius mumbled, looking across the room. Usagi laid on the bed asleep, Luna tucked under her arm. Smiling, Ami pried the cat from under her best friend and allowed her time to breath. "Geez, I hate when she does that," the cat mumbled, shaking off the effects of being in Usagi's sleep grasp. "What's all this?" Luna looked around the room. "I woke up, they were here. I don't think Usagi is going to take this well." Ami started searching for a card. After going through the fourth vase, she found one. "Ashiteru, Usako." Startled blue eyes found Luna's.
