What now....?

	Mamoru woke up for he thought that he had heard
something. Looking down, he noticed the sleeping goddess
in his arms. He whipped his head around as he heard
banging come from the door. He layed there for a minute
and decided to ignore it, so they would leave. Before he
layed his head back down, the door was burst open by a
group of people. Among them he saw Demando and was
not surprised when he saw Saffir also. He didn't the
situation that he was in: laying down on the bed with Usagi,
his clothes slightly rumpled from sleeping. He was in for it,
he knew. He got up from the bed as a man went over to
Usagi and picked her up. "What are you doing?!?!" He was
majorly confused now. Demando looked at Mamoru. "We
are taking her. You no longer are on this
assignment."What?!?! You can't do this!!" Demando looked
him straight in the eye and smirked. "Yes *I* can!! Come
with us so I can give you your next assignment. I am
*your* boss, so I can do whatever I want with you."
Mamoru sighed. It was never a good idea to get on
Demando's bad side. He followed them out to the cars
parked in front and got in his own. He kept a good distance
behind the other cars as he followed them to a monk-house.
(AN: don't ask.)

	Demando walked behind his temporary desk and
sighed. "I'll give you your assignment tomorrow. I don't
have it with me." Mamoru nodded then headed out the
door. He left the small building and got in his car, not once
looking back. He drove until he reached his church. He had
some serious praying to do. All of his problems had to do
with Usagi, and that scared him. He knew that he had
*some* strong feelings for her, but didn't know what
feelings they were. When he arrived at his church, he
walked in and headed straight for the altar. He prayed for a
while, and when he was done, it felt like a heavy burden
had been taken from his shoulders. He had come to the
conclusion that he loved the woman. He had never loved
before, so he was confused at first, but now since he had
the help of God, his feelings were put in front of him. He
turned around and came face-to-face with one of his best
friends. "Nephrite?!?" Mamoru was quite confused.
Nephrite wasn't much of a catholic. So why would he be at
a catholic church?

	"Mamoru-san. I need to talk with you." He headed
over to a pew and sat down, motioning for Mamoru to
follow. "Yes?" He looked at his friend and was confused all
the while. "I need to ask you something." Mamoru nodded
then Nephrite pulled out a sheet of paper. "Where did you
take these pictures?" Mamoru glanced at them then looked
at Nephrite. "A young woman I know wrote those."
Nephrite nodded then explained. "These pictures are very
important. The only place that you will find this written is
on the scroll that Jesus wrote. He recorded what He had
said before the last supper. If anyone found you with these,
it would be worse than discovering gold." Mamoru was
astonished. He didn't know that those pictures were *that*
important. "So, what does it say?" Nephrite looked at the
picture than got up. He walked up and started pacing. He
recited to Mamoru what it said:(AN: I don't know exactly what it says
because it is only written in the scroll that was discovered
not too long ago, so it isn't in the Bible.) Jesus said the 
kingdom of God is inside you and all around you. Spilt a 
piece of wood and I am there. Lift a stone and you will
find me. Mamoru just stood there, stunned. He caught on when 
Nephrite said, "Spilt a piece of wood and I am there. Lift a
stone and you will find me." That was exactly what the sheet 
of paper that Usagi had brought to him, had said.

	At the monk-house, Usagi was placed onto a bed
because she was asleep. Demando and Saffir were in the
room along with Sister Esmeraude who was standing
beside the bed. Esmeraude reached over and grabbed the
cross that Usagi was holding then walked over to the door
and opened it. Sister Cooan and Sister Beruche walked into
the room and headed for the bed. They grabbed Usagi by
the wrists and held her firmly in place. This immediatly
woke her up and she was slightly confused. "What are you
doing?" She looked around and noticed the glare she got
from Demando. He didn't like what Usagi was doing. He
knew what was happening. "I command you to leave this
woman's body! Let her pass away without pain." Demando
just wanted the girl to die because she was trying to leak
out what Demando really was. He really didn't care for
God. He just wanted everything to go by the laws of the
Catholic Church. (AN: don't ask.) Demando was a
hypocrite. He had known that Usagi was indeed
experiencing the 'Stigmata'. He also knew that she had
only had the first four signs. He wanted the last one to
come for she would ruin him.

	He continued to command the unknown spirit
inside her but it didn't do anything but rile her up. She got
extremely angry. Demando motioned to the sisters and they
left the room. Now only Saffir and Demando were in the
room. Usagi had tears springing from her eyes. Demando
walked up to her and grabbed her neck. She grabbed his
hands, trying desperatly to free herself so she could breathe
but to no avail. He had her pushed to the pillow, choking
her. Saffir didn't like it, so he left the room. Once outside,
he saw Mamoru hastily heading for him. Mamoru brushed
past him and went for the room where Usagi was being
kept. Opening the door, he took one glance then ran
towards Demando. Usagi was turning pale with the lack of
oxygen. He grabbed Demando and threw him across the
room. 
	
	Usagi sat up and gasped for air. Mamoru grabbed
Demando and left the room. In the hall, he threw him
against the wall. Demando got up but Mamoru grabbed him
by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall. "I know
what you are up to and I won't let you do it!! That girl is
innocent and you planned on killing her? You bastard!"
Throwing him on the ground, Mamoru went back in to
check on Usagi. When he entered the room he didn't
proceed to the bed but stayed where he was. The fire place
all of a sudden lit up (AN: there wasn't a fire in it at first)
and then the whole wall caught fire. Mamoru never let his
eyes stray from Usagi's. Then the roof was on fire, and yet
he still didn't twitch. His thoughts and emotions were
racing. "Please, leave this woman's body. She has done
nothing to deserve this." He knew that he was talking to the
spirit within her. He saw her glare at him then answer,
"YOU! YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO? YOU
ARE THE ONE WHO OPPOSES ME!! You are a
hypocrite. Posing as a brother in Christ yet proving God
wrong everyday." Mamoru stood there in shock. He
realized that he had indeed been doing that. He was proving
miracles done by God, wrong. "YOU HAVE NO FAITH!"
Mamoru looked at Usagi and then walked through the fire
that was surrounding the bed, to reach her. 

	All of a sudden, Usagi through back her head and
screamed. Her hands had blood pouring out of the wounds
and her forehead was drizzling blood. Her feet were
bleeding as well. She jerked forward as pain shot through
her back. Mamoru was seeing the first four signs of the
'Stigmata' right in front of his eyes. She was bleeding
horrendously (sp?) and screaming like there was no
tomorrow. 'Oh God! No, please no.' He couldn't do anything
to stop it as he watched the full 'Stigmata' enfold in front
of him. Suddenly she collapsed onto the bed and he noticed
that she had not recieved the fifth sign. He slowly picked
her up along with the blankets. Carrying her out of the
room, he left the building. He sat down on a bench in front
of a grassy plain. He looked at her and gasped. 'How?' She
was no longer bleeding but that is not what made him
gasp:: Her wounds were completely healed and she had
opened her eyes. 'Does this mean--' He was cut short when
she smiled. He knew right then that the spirit had left and
was not coming back.

	Usagi's breath caught in her throat as she looked up
at Mamoru. Their noses were touching and she could feel
his warm breath against her lips. He looked into her eyes
then gently placed his lips on hers. He kissed her softly
then pulled back. He helped her up and she put the blanket
on the bench. Taking one last look at Mamoru, she walked
away. She knew that she could not stay with him. She had a
lot to learn about Christianity. But she knew one thing: She
was definatly saved. She no longer wanted to live a life
thinking that it was ok to go to Hell. She wanted to be with
God and she knew He wanted to be with her too. Knowing
this, she smiled and headed for home.

	Mamoru looked at Usagi's retreating form and
sighed. He knew that it had to be this way, so he didn't
object. He liked the girl, a lot in fact, but he knew that it
just couldn't happen. Glancing at her again, he turned
around and headed for the other direction. He had to report
Father Demando in because what he had done was illegal
and very much a sin. He knew that he had some serious
repenting to do but until then, he needed some rest.

So? Well, I know that it was so abrupt and short at the end.
You probably didn't get much of  what it meant but I tried
my best.
I wrote it from memory of what the movie said so that was
like 4 weeks ago? 
Well, comments are always welcome as well as *some*
flames. *winces*
Gotta go work on FFL pt. 7.
Ja ne!!
