				Broken Glass                     

	“Moushi, Moushi,” Usagi said as she answered the phone.
	“It’s me, Usako, I’m coming back home for spring break.”
	“Oh, Okay,” She said.
	She then hung up the telephone. 
	“Usako are you thereˇ*click*”
	She then dialed up Rei’s number, “Rei-chan, I’m coming over.”
	

	“Usagi-chan, what’s wrong?”
	“Mamoru-san is coming back. I don’t want to tell him. What should I do?”
“Tell him of course.”
“Maybe I should just avoid him. Or I could write a letterˇ”
“Usagi-chan DID YOU HEAR ME I SAID TELL HIM, AND THAT MEANS IN 
PERSON.”
“I heard you. I don’t know. Maybe I don’t have enough courage.”
“You not having courage? That’s like England with out a prince. It’s never going 
to happen.”
“ I guess your right. Do you know where Ami-chan is? I tried calling her earlier 
and yesterday. She wasn’t home.”
“Oh I think she’s been at the library.”
“So likely of her. Ja ne.”
“Sayonara.”


She walked around the huge national library. She finally spotted Ami. She was 
sitting there with a book. They were discussing theories.  Usagi sat down. 
“Ami,” She whispered, “ I need to talk to you. I need your opinion.”
“Ok Usagi what is it?”
She was a little hesitant. Then she leaned over and whispered lower than before.
“Mamoru-san is coming back, Rei said I should tell him, but I’m confused. I want 
to tell him its over demo I don’t want to see him. I don’t know what’s going to happen. 
Tell me if I should do what Rei says.”
“Well Rei is usually right about this stuff. Remember Umino and Naru. 
Remember how you were worried about them. Well she suggested that and it turned out 
that there love was a strong as time.”
“Rei’s right and I knew it. I just didn’t want to admit it. Arigato. When does 
spring break start?”
“In 3 days. Okay. I know this is a little tough on you Usagi-chan but you always 
come through.”
“Hey are you going to the recording session Ami-chan.”
“Hia. Want to walk together.”
“Sure.”
Ami checked out her book and they left. 
“So, Mamoru-san is coming back. Oh Usagi-chan he’s going to be heart broken.”
“I know but he’ll deal with it. Find someone new. After all, I’ve moved on. 
Mamoru Chiba is not going to hurt me any more.”
The rest of the way there the subject wasn’t mentioned. They entered the studio. 
Usagi eyes lit up. 
“Onadago! I’m so glad you made it,” Seiya said.
“Of course I’m always curious to what goes on here. I also brought Ami-chan 
along. ”
“Good now Taiki won’t have to be bored by Yaten’s constant chatter.”
“Ok stop ticking me off Seiya,” Yaten warned.
Minako walked in the room.
“Hi Usagi-chan. I was looking for you.”
“Why Minako-chan?”
“Mamoru-san called this morning. He thought you were acting quite odd. I just 
wanted to tell you I reassured him.”
“Is that all Minako you didn’t have to go all the way over here to tell me that.”
“No that’s not only it. I wanted to ask you if you told him yet.”
“No because I think I should tell him in person. It would be mean and cruel to do 
it over the phone or in a letter. Seiya-chan can you come with me.”
She batted her eyelashes. She could make him melt like that.
“Um. Sure Onadago.”
“Are we going to record soon Seiya or are you going to stand there. Baka. I 
swear.” Yaten said.
“Hold on Yaten. Your so rude not even a hello to Minako-chan or Usagi-san.”
“Hi, Yaten. How are you? I just love your suit. It looks great on you. You want to 
go to a movie later?”
“Maybe if we ever get this session going.”
They recorded two new songs. One was called Ai noni senshou (Victory in love) 
and the other was gomen kouyuu (sorry friend).


Mamoru looked around him. Usagi didn’t meet him at the airport. He didn’t think 
it was weird.
Usako must have forgot. He thought.

“Moushi Moushi,” she said.
“Usako you forgot my plane came in today.”
“Oh did I? I’m sorry. Can I meet you at the Moonlight cafe tomorrow?”
“Why?”
“I want to talk to you.”
“Ok, what time?”
“8am. Okay,” Usagi asked.
“Yes.”
“Oh I’m sorry I have to go someone’s at the door.”
**Click**
“Ja.”
He thought she was acting very weird lately. 


Seiya and Usagi walked hand in hand down the street. She had her hair down that 
day which was unlike her. Mamoru caught a glimpse of them turning the corner. It was 
not a clear view, so he dismissed that it was her.  They finally arrived and sat down.  
They were laughing when Mamoru walked in. Silence fell over the three.
“Mamoru-san I have to tell you it’s over,” She said.
“What are you talking about Usako?”
“Our relationship is over. For good.”
“Why? What?”
“I know, but the future can change. All those times you made me cry it was like 
glass.”
She picked it up.
“When you came back the first time. Its was raised. I was at a breaking point. I 
even stood atop a bridge once and even thoughtˇany ways I convinced my self 
amazingly that I was need. I was though. Then you broke my heart for the last time when 
you left for America again. The glass it fell like this.”
She dropped it on the floor and it shattered.
“And you cannot fix a broken glass. It usually ends up with someone else picking 
up the pieces.”
They saw a person that worked there come over and clean it up.
“You’re going to pay for that miss,” The man said.
“Of course put it on the bill. Well anyway Mamoru-san the person who lets say 
picked up the pieces for me was Seiya-chan. I finally realized after being a child for such 
a long time, that he will never hurt me. Of course, you never hurt me physically like the 
glass but mentally. I wasted my strength when I needed it. I harbor no hate for anyone, 
you shouldn’t either. I am sorry if you feel pain, but the truth, is the truth, is the truth.”
“It can’t be true what about Chibi-Usa?”
“Mamoru-san, Setsuna-san said that Chibi-Usa never doesn’t exist now. She 
doesn’t say whose fault because not even she would know. We are all personally to 
blame. The future can and does change. With every second, you could change the future. 
The future is not written in stone. Only the past.”
“ Fine whatever you wish, but you can never change the past like you said. Like I 
can never change my feelings for you.”
He got up and left.
“ I know that was hard Onadago. I know everything’s going to be fine.”
“ Yes but now I won’t have any guilt. That means we can have more fun.”
“ Lets go.”
“ Where?”
“Any where.”
They paid the bill with a huge tip for the mess. They walked out the same way 
they came in. Hand in Hand, a bridge to a new life. 


Mamoru felt like crying, in a way he was. Tears could stream down his face 
forever. Tears came after a couple of minutes. He couldn’t believe he lost the love of his 
life.  He was at the motel were he was staying for a week. He wanted to spend this week 
with only one person. Now he didn’t know what to do. 

Rei was at the fire. 
“Oh damn Usagi-chan you can never finish anything except food. Now I’m going 
to have to go over and make sure he’s okay. Yuuchiro! I’m going out tell grandpa when 
he’s back.”
“Okay Rei.”
She walked all the way to the motel. She knew he would be staying at the best 
hotel in Tokyo. 
“Excuse me miss,” she said.
“Yes.”
“Can you tell me which room M. Chiba is in.”
“Why?”
“Well I’m a friend and he told me he was staying here but forgot to tell me the 
room number.”
“Oh I just had to check because there has been some robberies. Let’s see. M. 
Chiba. Ah yes room number 49 on the third floor.”
“Arigato.”
She walked up to his room. She knocked.
“Usako?”
“No sorry Mamoru-san it’s me Rei-chan.”
“Oh Rei-chan.”
He opened the door. She hugged him. Grabbed his shoulders and looked him in 
the eye.
“Are you ok?”
“Far from it.”
“It must be very hard on you.”
“Oh forgive me Rei-chan come in.”
She came inside and sat down.
“Usagi-chan told you I’m guessing. I’m sorry we tried to convince her otherwise 
demo it didn’t work.”
“Usagi-san was always like that. That’s why she’s so cold on the phone. She 
seems self absorbed now.”
“In a way she was always was but love blinds the brain. It just doesn’t function 
right. Love sucks.”
“Yes love sucks. Romance is dead truly dead,” He nodded.
“No Romance is not dead what you had was romance but like a fire it dies if you 
don’t feed it.”
“Is she happy?”
“Very.”
“I hope so. I’ll get over it demo if she wasn’t happy then I would be sad.”
“Well Mamoru-san I’m always here if you want to talk to someone.”
“I’ll remember that Rei-chan.”
“I think love is fragile if it is abused it breaks.”
“Just like glass. Broken glass. It can’t be fixed no matter how hard you tried.”


What do you think? I’m sick of all these stories with Usagi and Mamoru. I think that they 
are a perfect couple in the manga but not in the anime.  The only thing why I don’t do 
this often is I like to keep Mamoru in my fanfiction. It’s fun to poke at him. Like 
monkeys -funny. It cute to toy with his emotions. Like this other short story. I am 
working on. ^_^ V says- Makenai. Joking.
