^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

I had been walking for a while since the news, I guess I should have said something before just walking out, but what can you say when you learn the news that you have to fight against the one you love. Over all though I realized that what Deena said was true, this isn't like Romeo and Juliet, or another reomace written by someone else, those tended to ewnd in the lovers deaths, and I wouldn't have that. And so I just walked.

I must have been walking for a little bit because soon I found myself infornt of Usagi's house, how I walked here without realizing it I really don't know, but still maybe if I wait a while I can explain to her what is going on, what my groups decision was. Maybe she'd help figute out an explaination or a way around this. And so I sat down infront of her house, my head in my hands and just thought about how to word it.


^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

I walked home, on the lonely road, it was only a half an hour since my meeting, yet I couldn't help be paranoid about what was going to happen. I worried about it like nothing else, maybe I could have done something about this.

Maybe If I had told my Rabbits about how I felt about Mamoru then maybe, just maybe they'd let it be, and agree to join them. No, even thinking about that I realized that that was not an option, I might have been removed from the leaders position by doing that. Maybe I cannot save everyone, but maybe I can save a few. I can hope.

As I reached my house, I raised an eyebrow at the sight that lay before me. There was mamoru, leaning against my house, is black hair a mess, his hands covering his eyes, and I realized what must have happened. he must have had a meeting as well.

"Hey stranger, you have your meeting too?" I asked, my voice was somewhat monotone, I guess lack of sleep and the bad news was hitting me harder then I thought, after all, if I wasn't being cheery this was worse then bad.


^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

I looked up from my spot on the ground, and there she was my Usako, yet I saw in her eyes, I heard in her tone, that things were bad. her eyes that once held that spark of hope seemed dull and tired. Her tone of voice was lacking the usual zest that it normally held, when we argued, when we spoke, or more recently kissed, and hugged. This Usagi was one that made me worry. Moreso then that though was her words she had a meeting. This meant one thing.

"Yes, I did, they went against our plans, just like your people did." I said, I was depressed, yet I don't think this was the usual kind, for before when I had been it was more of a cold kind of way. This kind was one I hadn't felt in a while, it was one that made me feel like crying. Although I'll never admit as much out loud.

I watched as she nodded and then fell beside me and into my arms. She cried in my arms, I don't think she had done this much times before, but the sound of her broken heart wreching sobs, got to my weakness, that depressed spot of me.

And so, as we sat there, I felt my eyes start to sting as the tears rolled from my eyes and down my cheek. And yet, I was silent, I stroke her hair as she cries against me, and I cry as well. I wonder if this is what is to become of us as I do. Shall we be weak and vulnerable to those that would put us to war agaisnt one another, is this our only night of freedom that we may have with one anothr forever more?

My hope, my desire, my plea, is that it is not.


^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

I didn't remember starting to cry, just leaning against him, and clutching to him with dear life. I love him, I know this, and knew this ever since my dream, or maybe when I first met him. But all I know now is that war is inevitable.

I don't want that. As I lean against him, I feel him shake just a little. It makes me take a peek at him through my blurred eyes.

What I see is slightly worrying, for he is crying to. But it's obvious by his silent tears, that he doesn't want it know, and so I turn back to my prior possition in his arms and continue to cry.

I don't know how long I have been crying, and I don't really care, all I know is that we are sharing this moment together.


^_^ My PoV ^_^

In the shadows lay five people. And as four of them watch the couple cry they wonder if they have choosen the right thing. While the other just hopes for the best.

None know of the others in the shadows yet, that are also silently watching the two cry. But as the four who wonder if they have choosen right turn around and get ready to walk away they all spot each other. And by some silent understanding they nod, and slowly walk away together heads bowed.

They walk to a same café and sit down at a small courner table. And now we see thier faces. Matoki, Ami, Rei, and Greg((A.N: OK, so I don't know this ones Japanesse name...but I get the english version here!)) are the ones who are sitting at the table. They all look down then decide to speak.

"We followed Usagi home from the meeting, as you probly know, she is THE Rabbit." Says Ami, as it is obvious that Rei doesn't wish to speak.

"Yes, we know. And we followed Mamoru from our meeting." Greg says, in the intellegant tome very similar to Ami's.

"The question is, what are we going to do?" Motoki asks of them. As he looks at the other they all lower their heads in recognition that they do not know what to do. And so Motoki nods at this. "I don't know either, but if any of you figure something out, call us."

And with that Motoki gets up, Greg following and so they leave. Just as Rei and Ami do after a few minutes of silence, not to mention sipping coffee and paying for it.

^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

I heard my mother yelling at me to get up and out of bed, and so I silently comply, not bothering to change out of my bunny and moon pj's as I trudge down the stairs. My hair is a mess I know, since it's out of my bunds, or should I say odanago's.

I reach the bottom of my stairs, and there is the rest of my family, my brother and father standing with my mom. I yawn and close my eyes, I am waver from one side to the other.

"Yeah?" I say, not looking at any of them, just continuing my tired manners. Okay, so it is the afternoon, but after crying most of the night, and the meeting, I have the right to be tired.

"Usagi, we saw you and that boy last night on the doorstep" My mother starts off. I know they are talking about Mamoru and I eariler this morning.

"And?" I ask, my dialog limited to one word sentances as I have still not fully waken up. I wonder what they are going to say about it though.

"Do you love him?" My father asks. I blink and look at him a few times. This person before me who just asked that LOOKS like my father, sounds like my father, but isn't exploding like my father would. I glance at my mom, and see her looking at me weirdly. I lower my head now.

"Yeah." I say, although it is as low as a whisper I know that they heard me from the silence that is around me. To my surprise it is my brother that breaks the statues that they seem to have made.

My brother, Shingo comes towards my now, and wraps his arms around my waist, I hug him back, although I am still a little in shock, I wonder what is going on as I look at my family who seem to have changed derastically.

I look to my mother again and raise my eyebrow in question. She smiles at me in a sad fashion and moves to hug me along with my brother, and so the nest thing I know I have the whole family hugging me. A very stange thing indeed.

"We're happy you found someone to love, who loves you." My mom says, in that motherly tone that seems to say 'My little girl is all grown up!' kinda way.

"If he touches you before he even thinks of marriage to you I'll kill him." My father says, okay thats more like my dad I think, but his tone is wrong, his tone is a silent confermation that it is okay that I love Mamoru, but that I shouldn't feel pressured into anything.

needless to say this is a strange day indeed.


^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

Today, I don't get out of bed. Normally by now I would have had my morning, run, my morning coffee, and maybe read a physics book. But today, today is not for that. And so I just lay in bed, not worrying about food, drink, or anothing else. I just roll over, ignoring the suns rays and go back to my sleep, in which me and Usagi are together, free of any problems, just in a world to ourselves.
