                                            So Very Lonely: Part 5

    (Mamoru's POV)

    I'd been sitting on the cold ground so long; cradling my precious princess.  I truly was scared for her health.  She'd lost a lot of blood.  I 'm training to be a doctor and I know almost all of that kind of medical stuff.  At some point, I noticed a slight shadow on her forehead.  Thinking it was dirt, I brushed aside her bangs and tried to rub it off.  The moment I touched her, a surge of heat ran up my arm, burning my thumb.  With a yelp, I recoiled my hand and looked more closely at the "dirt". The shape of a star...Darkstar.  My god, he was trying to convert her to his side!!  Why hadn't I noticed sooner??!!  If she died it would be all my fault!!  Usako stirred in my arms, muttering to herself.
    "Noooo...leave me(gasp) alooone!"  Then, she bolted up suddenly squirming and screaming in my arms.
    "AHHH, where am I?!  I will kill you, Prince Endymion!
    "Usako?  Don't do this."
    "DIE!!"
    "Usako, no!"  As I backed towards the wall, I noticed something glittery that had skidded across the room, when, I guess now, her body hit it.  Her locket.  Her star locket.  Our star locket.  It's truth and light once saved me from a world under someone else's control.  Perhaps now, it could save her.  Yes.  I could save her.  Backing up slowly, I reached down and gently picked up the locket.  Usagi's eyes were now glowing a vibrant purple; while the star on her forehead beamed excruciatingly purple light.  I got down on my knees and took a breath, ready to beg.
    "Usako.  Usako, it's me, Mamo-chan.  Your Mamo-chan.  Please Usako.  You have to remember.  You just have to!  I can't live without your love, Usako!  Please, just touch the locket!  Remember.  Remember, Usako.  Remember with me."  I could see it in her eyes: the struggle between good and evil.  It broke my heart to see her fight so hard just to be herself again.  No one should try to hurt that kind of happiness, no one.  Her hand slowly reached out.  I held my breath.  She was going to touch it!!  Yet, she jerked her hand away and glared at me .
    "Why."
    "Usako?!"
    "It's destroying my body.  This battle.  Let me go."
    "I can't, Usako, I love you.  Touch it."  She looked away from me and touched the locket, as if she would be burned.  A brillent, silvery light, that you could feel, filled the air.  Usagi screamed at then turned to look at me with those eyes.  I love those eyes.  She lets you know what she's feeling and she was in pain.  I hate that look.
    "Mamo-chan?"
    "Usako, are you okay?!"
    "Mamo-chan, I feel...so strange."  With that she crumpled into my arms, unconcious.  How would we win this time?  How would we win?  One thing was for sure.  I would protect her, until I was too weak to do so.  A world without Usako, is no world at all.

    "Whoa, Rei-chan!!"
    "What, Minako?"
    "That..that thing on Usagi's forehead is gone!"
    "Really?!"
    "Yeah!"
    "There is hope, Minako.  There is hope."
