Chapter Text
« Why don’t you wanna be with me anymore? She asked. She didn’t see his internal struggle. Find a reason. Say anything. Hurt her so bad she’ll leave you alone. And she’ll be safe.
- I don’t want to be with a weak girl. » His own heart broke as he gave his cruel answer.
At first, silence answered him. Don’t turn around. Ignore her tears. Save her. And then…
« Excuse me ? » Did he hear her scoff ?? « You are saying that I am… weak ? » There was a new tone to her voice. Something he couldn’t exactly place, but it sounded wrong. About as wrong as the words he had forced himself to throw at her.
He didn’t answer back, but that didn’t stop her.
« That’s funny because I remember holding you as you bled in my arms. Twice. I remember saving you a few times, and even giving my life for you. I rescued you from a burning elevator. I treked through the North Pole, witnessing the gruesome death of my dearest friends, to fight the witch that had enslaved, brainwashed you. And then fighting after you had laid dying at my feet. Alone. With the help of the ghosts of my most beloved ones. I fought two of the greatest evils that day, and then I conjured a power great enough to bring you all back to life. »
There was a harshness in her voice, something deeply unpleasant, and he felt he had treaded very dangerously indeed. He turned around to face her, the disbelief painted on his face hidden by the domino mask.
« Even in this incarnation, I have managed to conjure a tool so great it allowed all of that. And now I wield the legendary silver crystal and fight evil with it. Did you miss it has legendary in the name ? I, a ‘weak girl’. » She mocked. « But yes, call me weak. Reject me. If that is all your affection towards me has been capable of finding as a hurdle, then you are right. We do not belong together. After all, I. Am Sailor Moon. Warrior of love and justice. Reincarnation of the Moon Princess. Incarnation of the Moon Goddess in this world. And you. » The contempt sipping from her voice had shattered his heart to shards. « You are just a man, who has the audacity of calling a goddess ‘weak’.»
Mamoru was stunned. When she turned her heels and disappeared in the night, he was utterly powerless to stop her.
