Haruka's attention drew back to Usagi when she stood up, announcing her departure for the night. Before anyone could stop her or get a word in, Usagi glanced back at smiled saying "...I promise." Right after Usagi left, Haruka instantly stood up. "Usagi!" she called out but it was too late. "I'll go after her." but Yaten had stood up, and went towards the slider. Seiya glanced at Haruka and spoke to her "Yaten will go after her." his comment made Haruka glare at Seiya, normally this would be something Haruka would've done but for someone else to be ahead of her made her quite furious. "Shut up, shes our Princess, it should of been the Senshi to go after her before anyone else!" Haruka said sharply, then looked at Mamoru who didn't even budge. "It really should of been him first. What on earth is wrong with him?" Feeling unsettled, Haruka sat back down and stared at Mamoru, trying to figure out what was going on between him and Usagi. In the meantime, all Haruka could do was wait for Usagi to contact them via the communicator and let them know she got home safely. Haruka listened to Hotaru and snapped out of her stoic visage, looking back at her with a soft smile while petting her head as she answered for Usagi. "I think Usagi would like a crescent moon and a bunny, but I think whatever you and Rei-san make she will love, because you both made it." Agreeing with Michiru "Yeah, I think so too. Anything for our Princess, right Mich?" Leaning in closer she whispered "Do you think we should go and check on Usagi later?" still feeling a bit unsettled. Meanwhile Seiya held onto his communicator and put it on his right wrist, while watching Taiki do the same. "I wonder if she'll ever contact me with this..." he thought, pressing the side button and opening up the face of the watch.

Mamoru remained quiet during the whole conversation, only speaking up when he felt it was necessary to speak. He had been focusing on trying to maintain his power. 'I feel so drained.. more than usual. I also have this indescribable feeling of being pulled. I don't want to alarm the others, not until I get more information as to what this is.' He could feel his being drifting as he sat there. Glancing down at the palm of his hand. He felt as if he could see the tiny sparks of electrical energy tingling within his fingertips.
"Of course Mamoru. Maybe there is something going on with the Earth that involves this new enemy and that explain what's happening to Usagi and you."
He knew Michiru said something as he walked beside her into the living room, they both parted and went their separate ways.
"Opposes...this, we always will protect her. There is no question, that's our duty as Senshi."
'Yes of course, the Inner and Outer Senshi would always protect the princess. And have to this day. But why did...' Mamoru's thoughts were interupted at the sound of glass cracking. Looking up and away from his tea cup, everyone in the room appeared frozen, locked in time a shadow of themselves. Setting the cup down, he leaned forwards to glance across the room. "Usako? Luna?" He said aloud, but his voice was not heard. Standing up from where he had been seated, he moved across the floor. The sound of glass continued to splinter as if he was walking upon something. Seeing nothing upon the ground at his feet, he moved to touch Usagi. She didn't move nor did she react to his touch. Frozen and locked in time. '...the hell?!' Something moved in the distant background, causing Mamoru to turn swiftly around. In an instant he went from his civilian attire into Tuxedo Mask.
"Answer me! Who's here?! Show yourself!" He shouted in a mixture of emotions quite alarmed in the situation he found himself in. The air was stagnant surrounding him, hanging heavily like a veil of thick smoke. What he saw before him, looked as if nothing in the area had not been disturbed for quite sometime. Moving his gloved hand out and through the veil of smoke, causing a shift in the particles. 'Where am I? What's going on here? And how is it that I was able to transform quite suddenly when I feel my energy wavering?' He hated being left alone in the dark. Since he wasn't being provided with answers, as he cast a glance back towards Usagi who remained frozen in time with everyone else in the room, Tuxedo Mask decided it was time to investigate what was going and took a step forwards. Noticing that every step he took did not make a sound, not even an echo in this empty place. He felt blind. Walking in this empty place where ever it was, seeing nothing really familiar until he felt that the smoke veil completely consumed him in a blinding light. Raising up the backside of his gloved hand, to block the bright rays of light shining in all directions. Shadows playing tricks with his mind, as ghostly images slowly began to take shape, swirling in and beside him. The sound of material being brushed upon the ground, along with the sounds of footsteps shuffling in hushed tones came clearer into picture. The scenery were images of people dancing in a ballroom, their silhouetted figures dancing by in a whisper of another time. Finding that he was standing in the middle of the dance floor, he caught sight of a familiar face.
"Serenity.." he said, feeling lightweight as he stared at the princess from afar. His heart beat became stronger as he stood there captivated by her beauty in the moonlight. The fact that she didn't approach, he knew something was wrong. His brow furrowed. She had the appearance as if she had been crying and her gaze was distant on the verge of being lifeless. Taking a step to move closer to where she was located at, felt difficult as if he was being restrained from advancing. "Princess!" He called out. The pull of being forcibly moved away from where she was became a struggle as he fought his unknown aggressors. His attire shifted from Tuxedo Mask to that of his armor as Prince Endymion. Using all of his strength to try and advance towards the Princess, ribbons of darkness struck out from behind, wrapping around his arms, torso and legs preventing the prince from reaching the princess. Tugging him back and away from the ballroom scene. The shine upon his armor became dull, covered in marks from battle, as he tried to fight off whatever was trying to consume him. His cries became muffled as he attempted to call out once more, only to feel the darkness surround him completely. Feeling that he wasn't going to win that battle, no matter how hard he fought and struggled against the restraints. Succumbing to the sensation of being alone, unable to protect her his breath left as darkness took over. Collapsing defeat.
He didn't know how long he was out, as it was the sound of evil laughter that echoed across the barren wasteland that he found himself in. Finding that he was no longer restrained, he stirred as if waking from a deep r.e.m. dream state. Turning on his side, his bare hand and forearm laying against the ground. Mamoru managed to push himself upright seeing the person who had been laughing.
A look of panic painted Mamoru's features. 'NO!' Remembering his encounter with Galaxia on that ill fated day that he was abruptly removed from this plane of existence. Immediate pain and despair reeked from within, as he managed to gain the strength to stand. With his right hand resting upon his chest, the ache intensified inside and grew as he stared down the lady in gold. Why? Why was he seeing her again? The two of them having a stare down, as her smile spread across her features in lines breaking, spider webbing across her entire becoming fractured like glass. Watching Galaxia fade before him, her evil expression remaining stained in memory. As he moved to take a step forward. The sound of glass splintering beneath the sole of his shoe could be heard. Lifting his shoe up he saw the picture of the two of them, with the glass shattered.
"Usako.." Mamoru's voice filled with such emotion it tormented his very soul. A vision flashed in his mind then, of being in the meeting, noticing that Usagi was not wearing the promise ring that he had given to her the day he left the airport to head to America. That Usagi's ring finger was bare. The line where the ring once sat, was fading, just like their love. Fading. Mamoru was coming to the conclusion that when his life was snuffed out by Galaxia and died. That Usagi died too. Placing his hands against his chest where his heart resigned, the pain was becoming hard to bare.
When Mamoru was brought back to life he had been seeing the tell tale signs forming between them over the past two years, he wasn't dumb. Noticing that Usako no longer looked at him the way they did in the beginning. That she was moving on and had been for no telling how long. Feeling presently that he was holding her back, from seeking out what she wanted in life. Happiness. Love. Mamoru was still giving Usagi all of his love, all that he was to her and he honestly thought she was happy. Still holding on to what they had. Which was a memory, of forgotten times. It was becoming apparent that when he died, their love died. And it was time.. to let her go. For Usako didn't need his love anymore, she wanted something more, something that he could no longer provide.
Holding onto that memory as it began to fade, feeling a slight pull from reality. Light from behind him spilled out along his back as the sound of doors opened up behind him. Turning his head ever so slightly to glance over his shoulder.
A single ray of light radiated from within the open doorway, beckoning him to approach. "Is that the Door of Space and Time?" Mamoru asked in his bated breath. No one from the meeting could hear him speak, as he turned completely around to stare at what was being shown to him now. The door through Space-Time protected by the guardian of the underworld: Sailor Pluto.
Mamoru couldn't believe what he was seeing. The shadow of Sailor Pluto standing before the door staring back at him. This was obviously a sign of things to come. As he went to say something, the light washed over Mamoru, pulling him back to reality. Back to the meeting that had been going on the entire time he was locked in the vision. Gasping under his breath as he came to realize where he was. He was covered in a layer of sweat from his hair to his soaked shirt. Mamoru's features were paler than normal as he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Swallowing to try and mask the dryness of his mouth, he heard Haruka's voice stand out as she called out towards Usako as she departed the scene. "Usagi!"
"I'll go after her."
"Yaten will go after her."
"Shut up, shes our Princess, it should of been the Senshi to go after her before anyone else!"
Feeling several eyes falling upon him then. It was apparent that Mamoru looked ill. His eyes meeting with Haruka's, as he tried to regain his strength before the others. Mamoru knew that signature look from Haruka. With sweat dripping down along his pallor features, he met her gaze. His appearance spoke volumes that something was wrong. All that conversed presently became muffled to Mamoru's ears. Feeling heavy as he leaned forwards, using both of his hands to wipe away his sweat drenched hair from his face. His eyes settled to where Usako had once been seated.
"Do you think we should go and check on Usagi later?"
"...yes." Finally mustering the strength to speak up towards Haruka and the others, "I... think that would be a good idea to go and check up on Usagi later." He wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon. His energy had been completely drained from the vision that had been shown. Even knowing if he had stood up, it would have been disastrous for he would have collapse before the sailor senshi in the state he was currently in. They have enough things to worry about than dealing with me.

Luna sighed and walked near Mamoru after Usagi went and thought "Usagi-chan..." then seeing Yaten exit the room, following his movements with her eyes then glanced at Seiya who seemed to be deep in thought just as much as everyone else.
Looking back at Mamoru, Luna placed a paw on his leg and spoke "Mamoru?" looking up at him, his eyes were dilated like he had been pulled into another dimension. Seeing how pale he slowly became, Luna nudged him again and then proceeded to jump into his lap.
"Mamoru-san?" placing her tiny paw on his forehead, as she did so, Luna saw a flash of what he had been pulled into, seeing Princess Serenity, quickly letting go, Luna sharply. "Princess?!"
"What was that? What's going on with him? He's stone cold... but he's sweating..." Luna thought.
About to alert the others as she jumped off him, Mamoru seemed to have snapped out of whatever it was he was going through, what seemed like a short time was most likely ages for him. Luna peered up at him as he spoke, seeing he only just managed to answer Haruka.
Luna wanted to check on Minako and Artemis but felt she should watch Mamoru for the time being. "Mamoru-san, what's going on? What did you see? You look like a ghost." Luna asked, looking very concerned at him.
Luna wondered if he needed someone to transform, maybe it was the same situation as Usagi, their powers are separating from each other, which is making them both weaker.

Taiki picked up the watch, simultaneously placing it on his wrist as Seiya did. For most of the meeting, Taiki sat there listening and watching to everyone's actions. Feeling sad that Usagi had to leave, he could feel her strength weaken, thinking that alerted Yaten, watching him go after Usagi. Taiki was sitting closest to Mamoru, and couldn't help overhear Luna trying to get his attention. Worried, Taiki nudged Seiya getting him to also see what was happening with Mamoru. Hearing Haruka ask if they should goand see Usagi later, Taiki spoke up addressing another issue. "Your Prince also needs assistance, Yaten will look after Tsukino-san... right now it's him I'm worried about." glancing back at Mamoru then watching Luna try and talk with Mamoru, trying to get some reaction out of him. "Is Chiba-san loosing power like Tsukino-san is? Can we do something for him?" Taiki asked Luna, then shifted his gaze to Mamoru again. Knowing full well Mamoru wasn't the type to speak up if something was wrong with him, it was pretty obvious on the outside he wasn't doing so well.

Hotaru watched Usagi go. She knew deep down there was something more going after she mentioned the dream turning into a nightmare.
She thought to herself. 'Those kind of dreams don't just happen without cause for us senshi. There is always a reason for it.'
She heard Haruka yelling at Seiya and when she mentioned Mamoru she glanced over at him as he seemed very quiet aside from his last comment and this definitely triggered concern for her especially with him of all people not going after Usagi. It really made her wonder what was up.
"Haruka-papa, he may have wanted to but there must be something stopping him." She said as she glanced over at Mamoru who didn't look so good.
In regards to Haruka's suggestion about what charms use. "Haruka-papa, your brilliant those would be perfect. Yes your right she would love it because it's made from the heart." Hotaru exclaimed excitedly. She grabbed a notebook and a pen from her small backpack and wrote that down for later and put it away.
Hotaru nodded in agreement about checking up on Usagi even though she knew Yaten/Star Healer would protect her if she was in any danger.
When Taiki spoke up and Hotaru nodded. "I can try healing him to see if it might help recover some of his energy." She offered up a suggestion. "Do you think that might work Luna or should one of us transform if he's in the same situation as the Princess is?" She asked the black cat.
Michiru nodded at Haruka. She whispered back. "Yes I believe we should check up on her tonight just to be safe or maybe we should consider keeping an eye on the Prince. More eyes are always better. She looked over at Mamoru. "Maybe you should stay at Rei's tonight. You look pretty worn out." She said to him gently.
Waiting for a reply from Luna. The girls were all wondering what he saw if Luna was asking about it and she sounded very concerned for him as well.

Luna listened to the Outer Senshi talk between each other until Hotaru directed a question towards the crescent moon cat. "Do you think that might work Luna or should one of us transform if he's in the same situation as the Princess is?" Listening to Hotaru, Luna answered "You can try healing, yes that could work. But if that's the same case as Usagi-chan then we are very lucky to have The Starlights here, Ami-chan, Minako-chan and Makoto-chan are absent, we could really use their help right about now. Transforming might be an option...Mamoru-san? What do you think...?"
Looking at Seiya and Taiki, Luna somehow felt them staying with Mamoru might be a little issue, possibly causing a conflict of interest, and with them not knowing Mamoru like the others, at least the Outers would be looking after the Prince which he would feel more comfortable with.
Shifting her gaze to Michiru and Haruka, Luna still had a concerned expression on her face.
"With that said, I think we should divide up who looks after who. If Mamoru is staying here, Rei-chan would need to stay here as it's her Shrine."
Luna thought to herself "The Starlights have only ever been around Usagi-chan, so asking them to stay here for Mamoru-san might be a little awkward... perhaps they can keep an eye on Usagi-chan instead." Luna thought, trying to come up with a solution.
Knowing Usagi would worry about Mamoru's current condition, Luna frowned as she wanted what was best for both of them. Luna knew something was going on between the two and didn't want to force Mamoru into something he didn't want to do either.

Nodding at Michiru "Yeah... the Prince doesn't look so good, I think he should stay here." Looking at Rei, Haruka didn't want just Rei looking after him, that wouldn't be fair on her. Agreeing with Michiru "The more eyes the better, someone else should stay here with Rei. Hotaru, it might be an idea to stay with Rei in this circumstance, since you can heal if anything were to happen overnight."Luna began to talk, telling the group healing could work, but he might be sharing the same fate as Usagi, which means one of the Senshi might also need to transform.
"There is also another possibility Luna, if what you were saying is true, then the Prince has already started to loose that connection to Usagi, which connects to us. So even if we transformed, do you think it would still help?" Without hesitation, Haruka took our her transformation pen from her jacket pocket and stood up. "I'll do it, if it's for the Prince then it's certainly worth a try."Haruka then shot another glare at Seiya, clenching her other fist as she what she was about to say made her hate herself for it. "And you... if you're planning on seeing Usagi at any time soon, then you better stay by her side. Once I finish up here, I plan on seeing her regardless of who is there." giving Seiya forewarning. Standing up, Seiya looked directly at Haruka and spoke "Whatever you say…. Later." Giving an amused expression towards Haruka for a moment, almost like he did once before to her. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before Seiya walked out of the room, taking the same exit as Yaten did in that direction.

"I-I said that? Hahaha!!!--Eh?! Star Healer? But... I just saw you... are you here for...? why didn't you use the front door though...?" Healer waited for Usagi to regain composure after getting spooked by her making entry. Leaning against the door frame as she watched how confused Usagi was acting. Completely thrown off of her game apparently. She could only smirk as Usagi walk over to her bed and pick up something that interested her. Tilting her head to the side, the only thing that could be heard in the room was some ear piercing ringtone that made Usagi jump sky high before her. Healer didn't have to ask what it was because who ever was on the other side was loud enough for everyone to hear! "USAGI-CHAN! You answered! I've been trying to call you all day! Where have you been? are you alright?" "Uhh--y-yeah I am, I.... stayed home, I slept most of the day. Gomen, I left my phone downstairs." "Phew! I'm so glad! I was really worried, and your mother called me too! Make sure you call them back! Did you read my messages? We got a new English teacher! He's super hot! He has long black jet hair, and blue eyes! Has a great figure! You'll fall for him, all of us have already, he's so sweet! teehee!""Usagi-chan! The Three Lights are back! Do you remember I was away for the whole year? I hope I get to meet them as you did! I'm so jealous! Have you spoken to them since?--ne ne, Usagi tell me who's your favorite!?" "--Ahh all of them! N-Naru-chan I have to go--- uhhh please text my Mama and tell her you spoke to me--- t-the line is breaking up! See you tomorrow!!" Healer noticed that the light from the surface of the box went away and so did the other voice that she could hear loud as day. Lifting her shoulders up and away from the door frame she casually approached Usagi. Looking from Usagi over towards the box she had held in her hands like a forbidden secret. "Those come in different shapes and sizes? Huh, well that's convenient." "G-Gomen, I didn't think she would blast me with information like that! Eheheheh... how embarrassing... I'll call Mama tomorrow. "
"Why not call your Mama now? I am sure she's quite worried and hearing her daughter's voice will help soothe her troublesome thoughts. To make her feel better, you could also tell her that you're not alone that a friend from class is here with you."Hearing Usagi speak up again, not knowing if she did it as a distraction or that their conversations just crisscrossed one another. "Is there anything you want to do? We could binge some series on the couch, the couch turns into a queen bed if we get tired--Aaahh hmm... I have lots of snacks too! We have the house to ourselves so you can walk around freely, you don't need to stay up here the whole time. Ah! do you want something to drink?" "Anything I want to do?" She responded in a friendly manner. "I am here for you. What do you want to do?" Leaving that question wide open. Usagi did have one of the The Three Lights in her house just then, who was transformed into a Sailor Starlight. It was just the two of them, alone, for now. Overhearing what Usagi said, 'We could binge some series on the couch, the couch turns into a queen bed if we get tired.' That's a thing? Healer's eyes widened in response, her smile widening in thought. 'I'll hold onto that important bit of information I know it will be quite useful to someone I know.' "You're right, Usagi-chan, I don't need to be here the whole time, it is my duty to protect you and make sure that no harm comes onto you. That is my oath."

"An essence charm sounds like a great idea Rei-chan. I have some small precious stones we could use to store our essence in. We could put them in a small bottle on a necklace and she could wear it under her uniform." "Wonderful Hotaru! We can figure out which pieces will work and draw up some back up plans for a formula as well." It was always a good idea to have something written down as well as have extra charms to be prepared if something else was needed. In the current state of affairs that they were now having to manage. "...Bunhead is right, Luna. You don't need to worry, now that we are aware of it then we can make sure nothing happens. Is there anything else we should know? ...How should we do this? All take turns?"Listening to everyone converse, she happened to overhear Luna mention, "I know the Starlights have their own concert next week... so I think for them they need to focus on that while we can cover the rest, hopefully, we can find the other Senshi and The Starlights being the last option."Rei's eyes shifted from Luna and on over towards Seiya, watching him quietly. Then suddenly without warning, burst forth a very alive Usagi! "Did you say concert?! when? when?! Ah! wait..." Rei smiled looking down and away, knowing that Seiya's attention was now focused on Usagi. At some point she needed to speak with Seiya but now was not the time. At least some of what was being discussed were being put into motion. Rei was vaguely listening in on the conversation going on with Seiya and Usagi, she felt like that was more of a private convo between the duo. "Well... I can with Artemis, I actually came from their house after I heard about the city and he was with Minako, but I didn't stick around and came straight here. Now I can't get in touch with either of them, so I might head back after this meeting and check on them. Yes, you may need to use rooftops and high ground places if you were a Senshi, especially during the day. At night time I think you'll be fine. You can always stay inside Usagi's room, no one goes in there besides her." Rei's attention was drawn to what Luna just confirmed. Frowning slightly as she hoped that they were alright. It was so unusual for them not to check in. "C-Chotte matte yo! You...mean I'm going to have a Senshi walk around watching me? Won't that get a little boring? I-I-Isn't there another way?? I feel like I'm being babysat! What about my daily routine??" Rei was about to say something at hearing Usagi fussing about their duties when Luna intervened. "Usagi-chan! You have to just deal with it, it's not for too long! besides someone can keep an eye on you while I'm out finding where the other Senshi are." "But--but!" "USAGI!! Stop complaining! ..... Anyways...Rei, Hotaru, that's a great idea. Can I trust you both to come up with something then? Anything is worth a try!"Thankfully she wouldn't have to say anything. Rubbing her head, she got up from where she had been seated and began to collect all of the empty mugs, stacking everything neatly onto the tray. Without another word, she had lifted up the tray to head to the kitchen to start washing the dishes. With the water running, Rei thought she heard a door shut but wasn't certain. She needed a moment to herself to gather her thoughts of the day. While drying off each mug she heard a shout come forth from the living room, "Princess?!" Rei immediately stopped what she was doing and hurried back to the living room to see that everyone's attention was now focused on Mamoru who looked as if he had seen better days. 'What the--?!' She thought to herself as she made tracks into the room. Why was Mamoru so pale? What happened from the conversation they were having earlier to have this happen? Where... ? Looking between everyone, Usagi wasn't there. That must of been who she heard shut the door earlier when washing the dishes. 'Good ole Usagi taking the backdoor, I wonder if anyone saw her leave?' "Yeah... the Prince doesn't look so good, I think he should stay here. The more eyes the better, someone else should stay here with Rei. Hotaru, it might be an idea to stay with Rei in this circumstance, since you can heal if anything were to happen overnight."Making eye contact with Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru then. "He's not going anywhere with how he looks. I can move him from the living room to a bedroom where he can rest better." Watching Haruka remove her transformation pen from her jacket, she knew she meant business. What worried Rei was what affect would them using their powers would do in the long run? Would it drain them as well? To the point that they would not be able to help their princess or prince for that matter? "Luna, please do what you can in locating the others. Heaven knows, we will need their help as well." Placing her hand on the backside of the couch where Mamoru was seated,
"Hotaru, see what you can do. I'll.. be right back, going to get some supplies." Leaving the living room she went down the hallway heading to the kitchen, moving towards the walk-in pantry she removed what looked like a silk pouch wrapped in a golden ribbon. Turning on her heels she made a detour and headed out the door in the direction of where Seiya was going. Not wanting to draw too much attention, she made sure that there was enough space between the shrine and where she was calling out to Seiya. "Seiya?"

Hotaru nodded at Michiru. "Of course Michiru-mama. I'm happy to stay behind to Rei-chan out if any help is needed with the Prince."
Hotaru watched as the scene played out between Haruka and Seiya. She thought to herself. 'Some things never change.'
"Yes while we keep an eye on Mamoru we can discuss what pieces will work best and draw up some plans to discuss with Ami once we can get in contact with her. I will make extra charms for the other senshi once we are able to locate them and then we can attach them to the bracelet as well once their essence is added to the charm." She said.
Hotaru agreed with Rei he was in no condition to travel right now.
"Ok Rei-chan. I will keep an eye on Mamoru will you are gone." She said to her as she moved over and sat down on the opposite side of the sofa Mamoru was on.
"Ok Hotaru it's decided. You will stay with Rei-chan tonight to keep a close on the Prince. Haruka and I will pop over at some point to Usagi to check up on everything is going. Maybe to give Seiya and Yaten a break and we can take over for a bit so they will be able to get some rest." She told her.

OOC: [ I'll change my post style to size 12/default so it doesn't confuse people! Sorry in advance if my tiny text has been hard to read or caused any issues! sweatdrop ]----------------------------- Quote: "Why not call your Mama now? I am sure she's quite worried and hearing her daughter's voice will help soothe her troublesome thoughts. To make her feel better, you could also tell her that you're not alone that a friend from class is here with you." Thinking about what Star Healer said, Usagi responded a little hesitantly at first.  "Uh...well, isn't it a bit late to call Mama? besides, I'm...kinda... "  Blushing a little, she got a bit shy around Star Healer, she was someone who Usagi looked up to and idolized. Hearing an Idol tell you to call your mother made Usagi a bit embarrassed, but she was glad it was late so she didn't need to make that call, hoping Naru had done it for her. Watching Sailor Star Healer walk towards the edge of the bed, Usagi listened to her comment. Quote: "Anything I want to do? I am here for you. What do you want to do?" Usagi's smile and expression changed as she gave Healer a saddened look, as she thought to herself "Why is she doing this? Why wont she tell me? There must be something..." Sitting there silently for a moment, Usagi's bangs covered her eyes making a black-out effect as she spoke. "...Ano ne, Star Healer? Do you...."Threading her fingers through each other, it was apparent Usagi had something she wanted to say.  "Do you remember when you told us Princess Kakyuu was someone... you love? But... that love is... a different type of love. When you told us that... it made me wonder some things, and one thing has stuck in my mind since, and you know... I haven't been able to really understand it. ...Have you ever..." her voice got quieter as she was about to ask her next question but stopped herself. "--Ahh Gomen gomen!! Hahaha!... I didn't mean to ask you such personal things!" Laughing nervously, Usagi stood up and walked to the other side of the room where her dresser was, Usagi's long blonde hair flowing behind her so gracefully when she walked over. Stopping, Usagi looked at herself in the mirror, then towards Star Healer for a moment in the reflection of the mirror. The Three Lights poster was also in her view on her wall from the reflection, her eyes shifted at the poster, as she stared at the image of Seiya for a few seconds then back at herself as she took the brush, beginning to brush her hair.  Completely changing the subject, Usagi was unaware of what Mamoru was currently enduring at the present time, and shortly she would be affected by it too. "We still haven't figured out what we want to do, I mean we have the house to ourselves so I was thinking since it's you...we could----........ Mamo....chan...." she whispered Mamoru's name as she stared at herself in the mirror. To her, everything became dark around her. It was cold and lonely, the feeling of having concrete brick heavily placed on her chest making it hard to breathe, all it took was a second more for the pain to hit her.  There it was. The sudden heart drop, the sinking feeling of someone tearing out her heart. It was as if time shifted again and the sound in her mind got louder and louder, a severe high pitched screeching sound that she couldn't turn off. Feeling as if her brain were being ripped into two, it wasn't. It was the connection between Mamoru and Usagi being pulled at even more, as time started to change.  Her eyes became dilated, stopping so suddenly that she dropped the hairbrush on the floor, making the room echo for a few seconds. Her elbow banged hard on her wooden dresser, leaning on it as she used that same hand to support her head, her fingers threaded through her hair gripping tightly from the excruciating pain. Usagi looked down, which made her loose hair drape down either side of her face, making it difficult to see her face without moving her hair out of the way. Her other hand was holding the edge of the dresser, trying to hold herself up from falling over, Usagi's nails dug into the dresser as she pulled back from it, the pain she was enduring made them dig and dent the wood, pulling away had caused long scratch marks from her nails like a cat clawing at something. " Hnnnnnnngaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" she cried out, gritting her teeth as hard as she could with her eyes shut tightly. Usagi was in agonizing pain and it happened so fast. Usagi had wished she were alone, the last thing she wanted was for Star Healer to witness any of this, however, if it wasn't for Star Healer being there then things would have ended up a lot worse for Usagi. The crescent moon appeared on Usagi's forehead, obviously reacting to Mamoru's pain and the vision he was in at the time. "My he...ad it...hurts!" Usagi managed to squeak out from the pain she was in, tears streamed down her face from the shock and sadness from the visions. Trying to describe how her head felt was like a migraine, but ten times worse. Whatever Mamoru was feeling, he might have also been suppressing the pain of any sort, however, Usagi wasn't only just feeling pain, but heartbreak too. Usagi had three visions, one being her Mother, Queen Serenity and the other two of herself, it looked like she was sleeping, maybe it was her future self? Was it a premonition? Usagi had no idea at this stage what it meant. Not seeing what Mamoru saw, she saw something completely different from him but the final vision was the same. And that was the doors closing.  Panting slowly, the room finally started to look like her room again, and the pain slowly began to subsidize, knowing this would have worried Star Healer extremely, Usagi was more worried about Star Healer than herself. "Go...men...I..." she said, opening her eyes a little. Not really knowing where she even was in the room, or what Star Healer even saw, Usagi wanted to speak but her head was still pounding. She could only think to herself. "Mamo-chan... is this how you've been feeling...?" she thought to herself. Usagi's glassy eyes still produced tears, and her crescent moon still was visible.

Haruka nodded and smiled at Hotaru. "Thank you, we can always count on you. Do you need me to bring you anything from home?" Haruka asked Hotaru. As Seiya walked out of the Shrine building, he pulled out his phone and began to message Taiki. "I'm going to Odango's place with your car, can you keep watch of what goes on? I'll be back soon." then he hit send. Placing his phone back in his pocket, the next move was to contact Star Healer. At the time he contacted Healer, it was when she had just transformed. It was perfect timing as it allowed Seiya to use his communicator. No one was around, but he continued to walk towards the car. Bringing his communicator near his mouth, he spoke quietly into it, not trying to alarm Healer in any way as he pressed a button on the face of the watch, which went directly to Star Healers headset she wore. "It's Seiya... don't alarm Usagi. I just want to tell you I'm on my way over. Mamoru isn't doing so great, Taiki is staying at the Shrine with the rest of the group, I'm driving over now so I'll be---" "Seiya?" Rei had called out to him. Hearing a familiar voice in the distance, Seiya quickly added quietly. "See you soon." then placed both his hands in his pockets as he turned around and seen Rei. "Hm? Ah..." Realizing it was Rei that spoke. Walking back to meet her half way, Seiya questioned the Shrine Maiden. "Rei?" He exclaimed, looking worried "...Has something happened?" Instantly wondering why Rei had left her Shrine to chase after the idol.

Watching the fuss over Mamoru, Taiki could tell Mamoru wasn't too fond of having so many people question how he was feeling, so it was best to just observe. Seiya then stood up, watching him and Haruka have another close stare down for a moment, then watched Seiya exit, noticing Seiya had taken his keys which Seiya never usually drives unless he has to, and that only meant one thing. Less than a few minutes later Taiki's phone buzzed from his pocket, which he took out his phone and saw a message from his leader, giving him strict instructions on what to do while he wasn't there. Quote: "I'm going to Odango's place with your car, can you keep watch of what goes on? I'll be back soon." Texting back, Taiki wrote. "Got it, I'll let you know if anything changes if you promise not to crash my car." Masking the smirk he tried to not show, Taiki was pretty good with comebacks when it came to Seiya. Watching Rei exit the room for "supplies" after Seiya left, sounded a little suspicious but Taiki didn't intervene, maybe she wanted his autograph?

She smiled back at Haruka. "You can always count on me Haruka-papa. I have a dark blue rolling suitcase that's sitting in a the corner of my room. It has everything I take when I need to stay the night somewhere minus a change of clothes. I have a purple dress hanging the screen in my room can you grab that and put it in there please and thanks?! Oh and can you grab my computer bag from the desk in the craft room please and thanks?! That should be all I need from home. Thank you for going to get it!" She told her with a smile.
Michiru shifted from where she was beside Haruka. "Let us know if there are any changes with Mamoru or if Yaten or Seiya call about Usagi." She told her not that she needed to be reminded.
"We had better get going Haruka that way we can get back quickly." As she took her partner's hand.
Hotaru nodded. "Hai I will alert you of any updates." She told Michiru.

The fact that Usagi did not want to contact her mother this late a night was curious. Wouldn't her mother feel better hearing Usagi's voice? And that her worry would be calmer than before? Providing a simple shrugging of her shoulders she wasn't going to fight the topic since it was apparent that wasn't all that important to Usagi then. "...Ano ne, Star Healer? Do you....Do you remember when you told us Princess Kakyuu was someone... you love? But... that love is... a different type of love. When you told us that... it made me wonder some things, and one thing has stuck in my mind since, and you know... I haven't been able to really understand it. ...Have you ever..." "Yes." Responding the question in regarding loving Princess Kakyuu. Tilting her head curiously to the side as she replayed what Usagi asked and then nodded her head, "You haven't been able to really understand... falling in love with someone else? Someone, you didn't think was possible?" Healer wanted to make sure she was on the same thought process of Usagi. "--Ahh Gomen gomen!! Hahaha!... I didn't mean to ask you such personal things!" "No, please Usagi, speak your mind. You are in love with someone but feel as if it is forbidden love? Not meant to happen, too taboo for some?" Healer moved to sit down beside Usagi but was stopped in doing so when Usagi abruptly got up and went across the room to her dresser. Watching how she was nervously combing her hair. Healer smiled in response, "Why not talk to this person that you have feelings for? Let them know that you love them and not be shamed in expressing how you feel." She said noticing Usagi was looking back from the reflection of the mirror towards her. "We still haven't figured out what we want to do, I mean we have the house to ourselves so I was thinking since it's you...we could----........ Mamo....chan...."Noticing that she was no longer speaking normal but in a whisper, as she approached closer from behind where she sat. "Usagi-chan?" Something was wrong! Moving to place her gloved hand along Usagi's back she could feel the tension rippling throughout her body. Quite alarmed since she did not see an intruder enter nor feel the presence of an enemy. Moving quickly to place her hands to cup along Usagi's face when she screamed, " Hnnnnnnngaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" It was an ear piercing scream that echoed in Healer's mind. The pain, the agony that she felt from Usagi screaming. Usagi's eyes were completely dilated, almost lifeless before her. "USAGI-CHAN!?!" Healer's hands immediately dropped down from Usagi's face to rest along her shoulders and arms. Trying to gently shake her, to get some sort of response, that Usagi heard her calling. That was when she noticed the crescent moon appearing on Usagi's forehead. 'What caused this?! For her crescent moon to appear suddenly?! Usagi-chan, please hear me! I'm here for you!!'Releasing the grip along Usagi's shoulders to gently pull her into a hug, holding her like a lover would. "Usagi-chan! P-please... please hear me!" Unsure if Usagi could hear her pleaing calls at all, as she held Usagi closer. What seemed like a long amount of time for Usagi to answer Healer heard her speak out in pain as tears streamed down the princess's cheeks "My he...ad it...hurts!" Reaching up with her gloved fingertips to delicately brush away the tears that feel continuously, "I would do anything to stop your pain..." Loosening her grip so that she could see Usagi cradled in her arms Healer leaned forwards to place a soft kiss upon the crescent moon that glowed across her brow. Only to lower her kiss upon Usagi's lips, unknown if her own power could transfer that way to try and heal or alleviate the pain that Usagi was feeling currently. Holding onto that delicate, emotional kiss filled with love, she knew at some point she would have to withdraw. Lifting up to see that Usagi was still glowing somewhat she did not know what that kiss might or may of done. She only wanted Usagi to feel better. Seeing more color return to Usagi's features as well as to hear her speak once more, tears that had been held back started to stream down "Go...men...I..." Healer mustered up a smile, glad to see that Usagi was waking up now, as she still held her close in her protective arms. All while gazing adoringly down at Usagi, Healer recognized the signature chirping sound from her headset as Seiya suddenly spoke up, "It's Seiya... don't alarm Usagi. I just want to tell you I'm on my way over. Mamoru isn't doing so great, Taiki is staying at the Shrine with the rest of the group, I'm driving over now so I'll be---" Clearing her throat, as she began to respond but found that it wasn't necessary, "See you soon." Healer just did a silent nod in response to what she heard over the secure radio waves in her headset. "Usagi-chan.. a-are you alright?" Wondering if she felt any better. Reaching up to brush some wet strands of hair away from Usagi's face as she watched her caringly.
