Author's notes: Oi people! This is my first fanfic published here (I published this chap on dA) and I'm so happy! I tried to published it almost two months ago, but my laptop crashed. :( Write reviews and please be kind! I started writing this 3 months ago for my friend. :3
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.
Summary: When long forgotten memories start to emerge after six years... Will inner senshis forgive? And after four years without youmas, the certain monsters show up again. Who's sending them? Crystal Tokyo is near, but so are old enemies and old loves... I suck at summaries . This fanfic is about Senshi/Shitennou + Usagi/Mamoru, but since I can't choose them in character(s) section, I had to choose – Minako/Kunzite.
Part One
Chapter 1.
Some things should stay in the past
"Who's that?" A cheerful young woman with long blond hair looked at the screen of the little device on the table.
"No one!" The other woman yelled in panic. She had long black hair, but not as long as blond girl's hair. She blushed to the dark red and jumped to stop the curious blond girl. She managed to turn off her screen.
"So…" Blond girl started, making really creepy and devious look on her face. "Don't tell me that fearless and untamed Mars princess Reye has fallen for a guy?"
The Mars princess almost stayed speechless. "I… It's none of your business, princess Serenity!"
"And this guy is not some immortal snob, he is even human… Isn't he?" Serenity's tone changed.
"Look who says, you're jumping around-" She prepared her answer before Serenity said anything, so she didn't realise what Serenity said to her. "Serenity…" She looked aside. "It's not that he'll even notice me…"
"What? Who wouldn't notice you?"
"It's not that… I don't know. I don't want someone who will see only my looks…" Serenity took her hand and smiled to her.
"If I looked good, the man on your screen was Jadeite, one of Endymion's Shitennou?" Reye nodded and she blush a little. "I met him. He's very devoted to Endymion, but also he is a bit arrogant, but he is prideful and courageous, like you are." She smiled to Reye. "He is also very handsome, Reye! Grab him before any other girl will!" Reye gazed at her. Then she smiled for a second and soon her face become worried.
"I wish I could… But he is an Earthling, a human… We can't be together… Even though we would, I'm even a princess." She almost started to cry, but decided not to." It's no good." Serenity never saw this side of Reye. She was always serious, courageous and fearless.
"Reye… Have you ever met him?" She asked carefully.
"Well… I haven't."
"Then, why won't you meet him? See how he's like?"
Serenity and her senshis travelled to Earth. They came to the forest, in the dark night. Prince Endymion was standing with light few meters from them and he smiled.
"Serenity!" He said, as they come closer to him. Behind the prince were standing his guards – generals. Shitennou. Being ready for every possibility of attack.
"Endymion!" She greeted him back.
"Inner senshis…" He greeted her protectors. His blue eyes were hard to read. "Serenity…" He took her hands. Then he sighed.
"Prince… It's better to go inside." Kunzite said worryingly.
They entered the little cottage in front of them.
"I'm afraid it's becoming too dangerous for our meetings…" Serenity turned to her senshis. "Please, could you leave us alone for moment?" Prince nodded to the generals. Endymion and Serenity went to other room to talk.
To everyone's surprise, Venus went to the terrace with Kunzite. Not much later, Jupiter and Mercury went with Nephrite and Zoisite, leaving Mars and Jadeite all alone. "This is so awkward!" She thought. She sighed and set on the sofa. Soon Jadeite sat on the other sofa that was right in front of one on which Reye was sitting.
There was a big silence for a long time.
"It doesn't seem that they will ever communicate in any way." Venus said.
"Maybe Serenity's plan won't work." Jupiter added.
"I think it will. They are pretty much the same." Nephrite said to Jupiter's ear. They were spying on Mars and Jadeite, hiding behind the wall that was next to the door of the terrace.
"So… How long do you know the moon princess?" Jadeite broke the silence, looking into some invisible spot on his left side.
"We were friend for very long; we all met when we were little, because of our parents."
"Oh…"
"You?" She caught his eyes. Cold, icy blue eyes. She shivered. "How did you met Prince Endymion?"
"Pretty much the same." He started looking again at that invisible spot. "You are sailor Mars, aren't you?"
"Yes…" She said softly.
"Why are you protecting Moon princess and not Mars princess?" He looked again to her lilac eyes. Reye saw the same coldness in his eyes and she shivered again. "He has beautiful eyes, but they look so cold…" She thought. "And he seems to not know that I am Mars princess… What I should say?"
"She doesn't need my help." She started, deciding that it is better to lie to him. "She can take care of herself very well."
"Oh…" He said, uninterested. He looked her again, unexpectedly for her, so she blushed. "Or she thinks you cannot take care of her, so she sent you to the Moon for practice?"
"What did you say?" Reye almost jumped on him. He was so uninterested and now he's insulting her?
He smiled teasingly. "Well, I don't know… Every sailor senshi must protect her planet, right? We are from Earth, and we are protecting our prince. Maybe Mars princess has other senshi… I mean, you are fairly too young…"
"I assure you, I can absolutely take care of my princess." She said harshly. "And every sailor senshi does protect her planet. And I am not so young."
"Really?" He leaned closer to her. "How young you are?"
"I am almost 18." She said proudly. Then she gazed better at him. She could clearly see arrogance in his features and that he actually looked incredibly young. "How young are you, may I ask? You also look too young to be a general."
He smiled as he bit his lower lip. "I am almost 22."
"Then 21."
"Then 17 for you."
She wanted to burn him with fire at once. He teased her. No one could ever tease her.
"I think I haven't introduced myself. Sorry." He bowed. "I am Jadeite, prince of the Far east and one of the Earth prince's Shitennou."
"Rei… Hey, Rei!"
Dark-haired girl opened her eyes. "Rei-chan, you fell asleep. Are you okay?" Blond girl with kind blue eyes asked her. Rei noticed the worried expression on her face, so she smiled to her.
"I am fine, Usagi-chan." She said with pleasant tone in her voice. That tone and answer calmed Usagi, who smiled back to her.
"Ne… Rei…"
"Mmm?"
"What did you dream about? You seemed happy."
"Yee, tell us what you dreamt!" Rei turned and saw three girls standing behind them. The one, who spoke, was also a blond, but her hair was tied with a big red ribbon.
"Minako-chan…" Rei said, surprised. A little blush appeared on her cheeks. "Ami-chan, Mako-chan…"
"Tell us, pleaseeee!" Minako squealed.
"Minako-chan! Even Usagi-chan isn't this attempting." Little blue-haired girl with sapphire eyes protested. "She will tell us, if she wants to."
"Arigato, Ami-chan." Rei said with a little smile. "I will tell you, don't worry…" Rei almost lost consciousness. A vision appeared in her mind.
Rei saw herself dressed in beautiful red gown. She was standing in big room with marble floor and everything around her was dark. She was in front of massive white window. The glow of stars gave some light into room. She looked like she was waiting for someone. Then she heard somebody's footsteps. She turned and threw herself into unknown man's arms. She couldn't see his face; she saw everything except his face. Rei then noticed that all her friends were behind them, in the dark. Makoto was in green gown, Minako in golden orange, Ami in deep blue and Usagi in snowy white one. Behind them were unknown men – she couldn't see their faces. Only face she could see was Mamoru's, behind Usagi. After that the vision disappeared and Rei found herself in front of her closest friends again.
Their worried faces met hers and the tall brunette spoke. "Rei, it seems you aren't all right."
She spoke about her vision.
"Maybe it's something that happened in the past-" Usagi said thoughtfully.
"It was probably prediction, not a memory from past, which warns you about something that will happen soon." Familiar voice interrupted. It was a voice from black cat with mark of the crescent moon on her forehead.
"Luna!" Rei spoke, surprised. Another cat with the same mark appeared too. "Artemis!"
"So, it didn't happen in the past?" Ami asked the cat as she leaped to them.
"Well…" Luna started.
"We don't remember all, but we remember that you all were deeply in love." Artemis finished Luna's words.
"With who?" Minako asked.
"We don't remember." They both said.
"But Usako surely does."
A tall black-haired man spoke. He smiled as he stepped to the room.
"Mamo-chan, you came!" Usagi said, smiling radiantly. She jumped from the couch and hugged him.
"Yes…" He stroked her hair. "I was over earlier with work, so I come here to join you on your meeting." He smiled to all of them.
"Mamoru-kun… You think that Usagi remembers?" Ami asked. They separated and looked each other.
"Usako. You should. I do."
"I'm not sure…" Usagi said; a bit confused.
"Then you tell us, Mamoru-kun." Makoto asked politely.
"I am not allowed. You have to find out yourself. We cannot interfere."
"But why?" Minako said, growling.
"If you are destined to be together, you will be." Usagi said, surprising them. "Mamo-chan and I weren't aware of our past, but we fell in love in either way." Mamoru placed a kiss on her the forehead. Usagi slightly blushed.
"Well then…" Ami's voice was disappointing. "I don't think I am that lucky." She murmured. Minako glared at her.
"When will it happen?" Makoto said excitingly.
"Mako-chan!" Rei and Minako rolled with their eyes.
"Well … It has to happen before Crystal Tokyo." Mamoru answered. "Somebody has to protect Small Lady."
"Somebody?" They all asked loudly, even Usagi.
"Mamo-chan, explain!" Usagi gripped his hand.
"You cannot forever protect the Moon princess and her children, even though we will be immortal." They all gave him confused look, except for Ami, who already panicked.
"He means that we will be married to those men and that we will have children with them!" Ami said loudly. She quickly took her bag and rushed through door. "I have to study from few books for tomorrow! Bye!"
"I have to go too; I have to finish sketches for next collection!" Minako said, laughing loudly. "Come, Artemis! See ya!"
"Bye, Mina-chan…"
"I have to do something in restaurant, so… Goodbye!" Makoto vanished with Minako.
Usagi, Mamoru, Rei and Luna looked at each other. "Then we will go too, you have to rest…" Usagi said to Rei and smiled lightly. "Bye, Rei-chan."
After they were few meters from Shrine, Usagi asked Mamoru. "Are they that scared of love?" Luna squirmed on her shoulder.
"They probably are. And they don't even remember them and what happened…You acted confuse pretty good."
"But it was not their fault, Mamo-chan…" She smiled. "I couldn't tell them..."
"I know you couldn't… They were heartbroken..." He murmured, kissing her hair. "Forgiveness is your biggest gift. I hope they had learned it from you."
"Jadeite, it is not your problem! It is not your concern if I had been there at that time!"
"You almost get killed by those idiots!" He was almost yelling.
"As I said, it is not your concern to you to interfere in my life!" She raised her tone. He grabbed her right wrist.
"Reye! You cannot put yourself in danger, wanting to know our enemy's secrets!"
"It is my life!" She tried to free herself from his grasp.
"Your life!" Jadeite raised his tone, smirking. "Your life… Is most important to me…" He murmured, losing his grasp, but still holding her hand. He lowered his head. Their faces were close and their bodies touched. Reye could feel his angry breathing on her neck.
"How can I know that you are not my enemy?" She asked him, looking him straight into his eyes. They looked cold as ice.
"Your enemy wouldn't be in love with you from the first day he saw you." He said softly and his eyes changed. They didn't look cold, not even close. They looked warm and kind, like they would in a man who tells the truth. He wanted to kiss her, but she stopped him, wanting to say something.
"Teasing, coldness, distance and arrogance were your expression of love, Jadeite?" She asked him, still a bit angry, even though his words have shaken her.
"I am sorry… I am normally a bit like that, but when I saw you… I wanted you to be mine, but I knew it cannot be, so I was like that to you, trying to push you away… But your soul and your mind just draw me deeper and when you almost died there, I was completely drawn in. Now I cannot find my way back…"
Reye looked at him in shock. She never thought he would even like her.
"Please, say something… I opened my soul to you; I want to know how you feel. And if I could, I wouldn't look into your soul and mind for answers, you are completely closed to me."
"I cannot look at yours too."
He smiled anxiously. "So, you also can look in people's minds. I thought that." Another shock for her. First he says he loves her, now he can read minds like her? Jadeite smirked silently, realising her hand. "I am sorry for this… I will leave you now."
"Jadeite… You moron!" She glared at him. "First of all I never ever thought you would like me, not in the million years! And then you saved my life and now you are telling me this?"
"I explained-"
"Yes, you explained your childish behaviour! You made me suffer and humiliated me; no one never even tried to do that!" She was hitting him on his chest. "And now you want-" He stopped her beating by grasping her hands with his, and kissed her.
"…Now you want to kiss me… And as much I want you to do that…" She gasped. He smiled viciously and moved hair from her face. "I love you." She murmured softly to his ear. "You big idiot."
He just smiled at her words and kissed her again.
Rei woke up in the middle of night. She knew it was not a dream, that it was a memory. She also knew who her past lover was. She just didn't want to tell them. But she didn't know how he could have been kind and passionate so many years ago, and so cold and malevolent six years ago? Well, he was a bit like that in Silver Millennium, but he was good. And he loved her with love that Rei never saw in her life.
"What happened? Did he get brainwashed like Mamoru? Or he was just playing with my feelings?"
She wanted first, so badly. But if it was that, it was no use. He was dead, she killed him. She killed her love. It pierced her heart like thousands of knives. She was lost.
"I can't…" She cried. "I can't believe this… My life is so messed up!" She threw herself onto pillow. Hot tears started falling down her cheeks.
But what Rei didn't know, was that Jadeite was still here, thinking of her every day in Mamoru's apartment. And that now he was a piece of jadeite.
