Chapter 1
The air is fresh, the wind is cool and the sun rose to reveal a new and beautiful day. The Earth is now safe once more and everything was peaceful. After the Star lights and their princess left, a feeling of emptiness and loneliness surrounded the five girls. Mamoru noticed this attitude, and tried to confront his fiancé about it. It has been a year after Galaxia's defeat. They sat at a park bench facing the lake and cuddled in each other's embrace. "Usako, It's been almost a year now and...I've noticed the changes since they left. Tell me Usako, do you love him?" Mamoru asked while looking at her blue eyes. "Iie Mamo- chan, *I DON'T...* It's just that I feel incomplete w/o them. They were like a part of us even if they're from a very far away galaxy...I hope you understand." She said in a very quiet voice. "Hai I do understand Usako. I'm sorry if I doubted you." He lifted her face, they kissed as love, and passion flowed inside them.
Billions of kilometers away from earth, in a planet where in olives blossomed in numerous patches and each flower blooms much more beautiful than ordinary ones. The city is rejoicing for their planet has been restored in its beautiful state once more. In the middle of the garden, a palace stood grandly. It is called the ' Fireball palace'. Princess Kakyuu together with her starlights were in the grand ballroom celebrating together w/ the people of Kinomoku. "Fighter, Healer, Maker...Why don't you three enjoy the celebration. Don't just stand there!" Kakyuu said. "Besides, I know some guys out there who would kill just to dance w/ you guys." She added mockingly. "Thank you for the concern your highness but we prefer to go back to our chamber to rest." fighter said. "Well then, I give you my permission. "Kakyuu replied. Princess Fireball stared at her guardians while they retreat. *Something is not right...*she thought. Healer sighed heavily as they walk towards their chamber. "I miss them too..." Maker said w/c surprised the two. "What do you mean Maker?" fighter asked." Let's just talk about this in our chamber." Healer suggested. "Well...okay then..." Fighter said before opening the door of their chamber. The Starlight's chamber is one of the biggest rooms in the palace, aside from Kakyuu sleeping chamber. Maker's corner is on the left side with several shelves of books, leaning on the wall beside her bed. Fighter has the middle portion since she's their leader. Healer on the other hand is at the right side of the room w/ a life size portrait of her as 'Yaten Kou' hangs on the wall. A huge fireplace to keep them warm, a carpeted floor, complete living room set and a sliding door w/c leads to the balcony that overviews the whole city. The three of them sat on the couch at the center of the room while a kettle of hot water was boiling in the fireplace for tea. Healer stood up and took a thick cloth to hold the handle of the kettle. When the tea was ready, she sat back down and sipped her tea before saying: "Love sucks..." Two pairs of eyes stared at her in shock. "What?! hey! I'm just telling the truth here!" She said defensively. "And what do you mean by that miss know it all?" fighter asked snobbishly. "Love sucks when you can't be w/ the one you love! It sucks when you have no guts to tell her how you feel! It sucks when you did nothing to show her you love except for being an obnoxious snob! It sucks when you're a billion light-years away from her!!!" By the time, she finished spilling her secrets, Healer was already standing up, both hands clenched and tears streaming down on her face. Maker was too stunned too speak while fighter's jaw dropped in shock.
Back at Earth, It's been a month since Mamoru's confrontation...The girls were walking towards Hikawa shrine for their weekly scout meeting. "Hey guys!" a familiar voice called out. The four girls turned and saw Mamoru running up to them. "Mamo-chan daijobu ka?" Usagi asked. Mamoru took some quick breaths before answering. "Well... I was at the university visiting my teachers and professors when I remembered the meeting. So I made a mad dash to catch up." "Demo. Where's your car?" Minako asked. "At the mechanic shop for it's monthly tune up. "He explained. "Okay...well then let's go guys! Rei would probably throw a fit when we arrive there... Late as usual." Usagi said with a sigh. "Tsk..tsk...Rei-chan won't kill you alone, we're with you." Makoto teased. "Guys! The outers are probably there and Rei must be pacing in anger!" Ami reminded them. So, four girls and an upper class man ran towards the temple, and up the temple steps. Rei was already pacing back and forth while waiting impatiently. "Rei- chan, calm down... don't worry they're probably on their way here." Setsuna said to calm the senshi of fire. "They better be..." she mumbled. "What took you guys so long?!?!" she exclaimed angrily as soon as the group entered the shrine. "Gomen ne Rei-chan, we met mamoru-san on the way and lost track of time." Minako explained nervously. "She's right Rei- chan, hope you forgive us." Ami said in her usual quiet voice. Rei just sighed in response. "You guys are forgiven..." Michiru said with a smile. When everyone was seated, Luna came in the room. "Minna, Rei-san did a fire reading before you guys came and were lucky enough that she found no threat." Then Haruka cleared his throat, which made everyone look at him. "Is there Something wrong Haruka-san?" Minako asked a bit curious for she saw Michiru blushing. "Iie... there's no problem... I just want everyone to know that..."took Michiru's hand then smile sweetly at her. "Michi-chan is conceiving my baby... our baby that is. "Haruka finished with a broad smile while Michiru's blush deepened. "NANI?!" exclaimed the five girls. "Congratulations Haruka-san, Michiru-chan..." Mamoru said with a smile. "Arigatou...Oi Mamoru! You better hurry up with Usa-chan." Michiru said mockingly. Every eye widened in shock while the mentioned couple was blushing furiously. "Wow! I never thought Michiru would say something like that..."Mako said still in trance from shock. "Mama is acting childish because of her pregnancy!" Hotaru said, while giggling, which caused a tint of blush in Michiru's part. Every one left the temple that night after they talked about the new senshi. Minako was walking in the empty park of Juuban. Artemis stayed home and didn't go to the meeting while the other girls decided to go the Tenou Mansion. Minako refused since she wanted to be alone and think about the things that happened the day before the three lights left.
*FLASHBACK* Minako stared at the magnificent view from Tokyo tower. 'At last...' she thought. 'Peace would rule Earth once again. It's a good thing that Galaxia's already defeated.' Minako breathed in the soft scent of the night air and let her mind drift into fantasy. However, it was abruptly cut off by..."It's a wonderful view isn't it?" asked a raspy yet familiar voice. Minako turned and and gasped when she saw Yaten. But what surprised her most is the fact that his eyes were puffy like he cried for along time. "Y...ya..Yaten.... W..When...what..a..are y..o..u...what happened to you?" she asked stuttering from shock. "I..I..I..don't want to leave!" He exclaimed as fresh batch of tears fell down from her eyes. Minako just stood still in shock when the ex-idol hugged her tightly.' what's going on?' she asked herself still confused. She recovered from her initial shock and wrapped her arms around Yaten for comfort. "shh...stop crying Yaten-kun.I know I shouldn't be asking but... why?" she asked. Yaten pulled of the embrace and wiped his tears. "Co'z...co'z...I don't want to leave you." he replied then slightly smiled. "y..y..You..What?!" she asked in a mere whisper. "I...I...I don't want to leave you co'z I love you." he said while pulling a very stunned goddess of love in his arms for a passionate kiss. They broke off for air since they were breathless from the intensity of the kiss. "Yaten-kun do... do you really love me?" she looked up to him with hope shinning in her eyes. "H...Hai..a..and you?" he asked nervously. Minako smiled then threw her arms around him. "I LOVE YOU!!!" she exclaimed for everyone to hear. Yaten chuckled then carried her in his arms. The new couple was at the park sitting under a cherry blossom tree. "I'll wait for you Yaten-chan... Even if it takes me forever I'll do it just for you." Minako whispered while snuggling deeper in her lover's embrace. "Are you sure? I'm not sure if I can..."she cuts him off by a kiss. "I don't care my love...I love you and it would stay that way." Minako said firmly which made him smile. "Okay then I'll try to come back for you and that's a promise." Yaten said while planting a kiss on her forehead. Minako smiled then pulled out of his embrace. "Something wrong mina-Chan?" he asked. Instead of replying, she removed her ribbon then the one that holds Yaten's hair in a ponytail. "What are you gonna do with those?" he asked with a huge question mark on top of his head.( AN: In the anim'e but in real life, he's just confused ok? good =P ) She just smiled in return while braiding the ribbons together and tying it around the tree's lowest branch. "It means that this tree is the witness of our love and promises." Minako explained at last. Yaten kissed her deeply in response.' I guess he agreed...I don't care if he leaves tomorrow, at least I know he'll come back and that he loves me.' she thought while kissing Yaten with the same passion that he have. *END OF FLASHBACK*
Minako sighed heavily at the memory.' I miss you so much Yaten-chan' she thought sadly. She began to have a feeling of fear as she looked around the park. She's been walking through the park for years but now, as she surveyed the place and the dark path ahead of her, Minako thought that she was already lost. "Hey babe, ya lost?" a voice which made her feel uneasy. A man with wavy brown hair wearing black leather pants and denim jacket with a white t-shirt stepped out from behind the big cherry blossom tree. "Iie..I'm not lost but thanks for asking. I better go home now." she said while walking past him. But the man grabbed her by the wrist. "Why don' t I walk you home? or...we could go somewhere private. "he said with an evil grin. Minako tried to get away from his grip but he was too strong.
Then he shoved her against the tree and started kissing her in a brutal way before she could even scream for help. She tried struggling once more but failed miserably. Minako just stared off at the sky pleading for someone to come and save her as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. Her mind went blank when the man ripped her clothes off and pushed her unto the ground. Minako just stared blankly as the man undressed. More tears fell from her eyes when she looked up and saw the ribbon that she tied a year ago. "Yaten..." she whispered. the man just let out a smirk then proceeded his intent on her. "No one will come and save you babe... it's just you and me here. Even your lover boy won't come to save you." he said while slapping her hard, across the face. Minako screamed loudly when he entered her most private part. It hurt her a lot since she's still a virgin and was planning to remain a virgin for Yaten and not for this bastard who just wanted to have sex with her in the process of rape. Tears continued to flow down on the side of her face when the man continued to claim her and take away the most precious gift she intended to give for the only man that she loved all her life. Minako would never forget the moment when she felt her body being violated and her dreams ripped into shreds by a malicious bastard who took pleasure in her pain. Not only that but she also felt that her mind was raped as well as her body. The man just stared down at her...lying in a heap on the ground almost unconscious. He nudged her side quite hard with a foot and spat at her. "You'll never be clean again whore..."he said with a smirk. "When people find out that you've been raped... they'll stay away from you especially your lover boy...bitch!" he said with a laugh then turned her around. "I'm not yet finished with you babe..." he said while caressing her butt cheek. Minako released the loudest scream she could possibly do when he raped her from the back by entering her anus. Never in her life did she expect that an inhuman thing would happen to her. The man took pleasure with her body as he raped her for what seemed like eternity before dumping her in the bushes like a trash.
Meanwhile at Kinomokusei, Healer fell to the ground from the sofa clutching her chest. "Healer! What's wrong?" Fighter asked while running towards her. Maker on the other hand ran to get a glass of cold water. When Healer drank the water, Fighter helped her sit on the sofa for her body was trembling. " Daijobu ka?" Fighter asked. "It feels weird but...my chest...I felt a sharp stab of pain in my heart...I'm so confused why..."she replied weakly. " I think you better rest. You're probably just tired." Maker suggested. "I guess you're right..." But she never did slept well for a vision kept on entering his mind. * A blonde haired woman lying on the ground filled with sharp thorns and an ugly beast attacking the woman.*
Minako woke up in an unfamiliar place. She blinked twice and realized that she was in a hospital room. She tried to sit up but then winced in pain when she moved. ' What happened?' she asked her self. "Hey you're awake!" a woman said. "I'm Leila your nurse...hold on a sec. I'll just call on Dr. Mizuno." Just then, a woman with curly blue hair came into the room. Minako gasped when she recognized the woman in front of her. "Aunt Kimiko?!" she exclaimed weakly. "Good you're awake." she said with a faint smile. "w..w..what happened...what time is it?" Minako asked still confused. "It's eight in the morning you've been out cold since last night. Mina-chan, It appears that you have been raped." Dr.Mizuno said while gently squeezing Minako's hand. Then everything came back to her in a flash. Minako clenched her fists tightly as tears of hatred sprang from her eyes. "Do you want me to tell the other's about this?" Ami's mother asked. "Iie...I want it to be a secret if possible." she replied while blinking back her tears. "Don't worry dear, you can trust me in keeping your secret." Minako smiled thankfully. "When can I leave the hospital?" she asked. " I still need to run some test on you to make sure you haven't contracted anything from the guy who raped you. After I take your blood & urine samples and I make sure that you are okay enough to leave, then you can be released today. Dr.Mizuno said in her usual serious manner. Half an hour later, Minako was free to go. "Now expect to still feel some pain when you move from time to time. The physical pain will go away with time...but you'll probably never recover fully from the mental pain. It would take even longer to heal...come and talk to me if you have problems in adjusting from the incident. It isn't good to keep everything locked up inside you." Dr.Mizuno said in a motherly way. " Arigatou aunt Kimiko... " Minako said quietly. When she arrived at home, Minako took a quick shower when she found out that Artemis isn't around. She scrubbed herself hard trying to feel clean.' I'll never be clean again...'she thought glumly while slowly sliding down on her knees while the water washed her tears away. Minako hugged herself, and sat under the hot spray for a moment before getting out of the shower and toweled herself dry. She didn't even bother making her hair nice and neat the way she had always done. She put on some clothes then went straight to bed.
The next day, Minako got up before sunrise. Slowly, she tiptoed out of the room then slowly closed the bedroom door to avoid waking artemis. ' I'm hungry...'she thought. ' I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.' Minako opened the fridge to take a jar of mayo. After fixing her tuna sandwich, Minako headed towards the coffee maker for a cup of coffee. ' Aunt Kimiko was right...It does hurt a lot until now.' She winced in pain then sat down so that it would somehow subside. When she was done eating, Minako cleaned the house ever so quietly co'z Artemis is still asleep. Then, she took a quick shower, got dressed and gathered up her things then left for school. Artemis woke up with the sound of the door closing.' Minako, awake this early? It's a miracle!' he thought with disbelief. Usagi stared at Minako with a worried expression. "Something's wrong with Mina-chan." Usagi mused. "Uhuh... I've noticed it too. She's so quiet and unbelievably early today." Mako said while looking at Minako who was staring at the window, sighing heavily every minute. "Too early is what you mean.." ami said while lowering her glasses. "Nani?! What are you trying to point out ami-chan?" Usagi asked in confusion. "You know that I always arrive here early. I saw Minako-chan sitting under our favorite tree this morning. She was deep in thought and was staring at nowhere." ami explained. "Okay! there is a problem!" Usagi said. "I'll talk to her and find out about it." Then, she stood up and went to Minako but the only reply she got was..."I want to be alone."
At Kinomokusei, Princess Fireball was at the palace balcony staring at her kingdom when she spotted her starlights walking in the garden while talking... She couldn't help but over hear their conversation............. " Maker do you miss someone?" healer asked while picking up a yellow rose which reminded her of Minako. "Hai...I feel close to all the girls especially with..."maker trailed off. "Mizuno-san?" Fighter asked. "h..h..how...did...y..you...know?" she stuttered in shock. "I saw you and Mizuno-san making out in our apartment. Luckily, you didn't see me."fighter explained with a smirk. "They did what?!" Healer asked ever so loudly. "Fighter do you really have to say that in front of healer?" the brown haired senshi stressed out in humiliation. "Nani?! and why can't she?" Healer asked with an eyebrow raised. Maker sighed. "Co'z you'll just gonna tease me and bug me about it all day long." "Ha! that's what you think! Besides I can't stand you two...(gags) watching you bookworms makes me sick!" Healer said in an *I don't care* manner. Maker just rolled her eyes. "You two act like kids." Fighter commented. Healer gazed at her with fire rising in her eyes, while maker gave fighter a dagger stare. "You're gonna get it this time odango baka!" Healer exclaimed while dashing towards fighter. " You're gonna wish you haven't said those..." Maker trailed off then followed healer in pursuit for fighter. Kakyuu shook her head as she entered her chamber. ' What am I going to do? I need them and yet...I feel awful. she thought with a sigh. "Fabiola please call Defender, Protector, and Creator. tell them to wait for me in the throne room together with the starlights." Kakyuu ordered. " As you wish...your highness..." The servant bowed before leaving. The three of them, are running around the garden like kids, when all of a sudden, healer stopped for she felt the familiar stab of pain in her chest. Fighter noticed it and ran towards her friend just in time to catch her. " What happened?" Maker asked. " I don't know...she suddenly fainted." Fighter replied while carrying Healer in her arms. " She's probably tired. You know her...She hated running. This is the first time that she ran with enthusiasm." Maker said as they headed back to the palace. When they reached the grand staircase, a servant met them there and announced that Princess Kakyuu was summoning them. They entered the throne room with Healer in fighter's arms still unconscious. When Kakyuu saw them, she stood up and went to them in a flash. "Nani? What happened?" she asked worriedly. It was then tat fighter noticed the presence of Defender, Creator and Protector. "What are they doing here your highness?" Kakyuu faintly smiled. "Onegai...Fighter put Healer down on the cushions." she said while avoiding Fighter's question. When Healer was already laid down, Fighter knelt down beside Maker. "It's a hard decision but I've decided to..." She was cut off when Healer shifted restlessly then..."Iie! Mina-chan!!!" Healer exclaimed then sat up taking quick breaths as a thin sheet of sweat formed on her forehead. Everyone rushed to her side. "What happened Healer?" Creator asked worriedly. Healer blinked a few times. "One-san?" Healer asked in disbelief. "Princess called us here...but I still don't know the reason" Creator explained with a smile. "So...what happened and why did you call Minako-chan's name?" Fighter asked in concern. Healer gasped when she remembered what happened the turned to face her princess. "Hime,I have to go back to Earth! I don't know what's going on back there but I have a feeling that something's wrong." She said as tears slowly streamed down her face. Kakyuu sighed..."As I was saying awhile ago...I've decided to let you three go back to Earth and...for good." Fighter's eyes grew big in shock. "b...b...b..but h..h..ow about you?" "I'll be just fine. Anyway, the three of you may leave tonight. Don't worry about me my starlights... Defender, Creator and Protector would be my guardians." Kakyuu explained with a tearful smile. "Don't worry guys... we'll do our best to protect the princess." Defender said in an assured voice. "I'm counting on that." Fighter said.
Back at Earth...It was almost three weeks after the Incident and Minako was sulking while she sat on the couch. She was eating an apple, for it was the only food, her stomach could take. She cannot eat huge meals for she'll just throw up. Artemis came in the Living room. "What's going on with you Minako-chan? the girls are all worried sick about you! You haven't been eating anything except for an apple and you're not in your usual self!!!" He stressed out in despair. "I'm okay you baka Neko... ja! I have to go somewhere." she said while standing up and went to her room to get dressed.
Minako went to the hospital wearing an over sized sweat shirt and denim skirt with medium heeled sandals and her hair was fixed in a braid instead of her usual style. Minako entered Doctor Mizuno's office nervously. "Mina- chan..." Dr. Kimiko said with a warm smile. "Please...sit down." "Thank you...what are the test results aunt Kimiko?" she asked. "Don't worry dear, all of your test results are negative." Minako looked at her in doubt. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Hai...Is there something wrong my dear?" Minako nodded. "I don't feel good for these past few days. I've been grouchy too and I can't eat huge meals for I would just throw up." she explained. Dr. Kimiko went silent for a few minutes. "I think I have to conduct one last test on you....a pregnancy test that is." "NANI?!?!?!" she exclaimed. "You think I'm pregnant?! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!" she stood up then started to pace back and forth through out the room. "I can't be pregnant!!! I'm still young and...OH MY GOD! What will Yaten-chan say?! It's totally impossible!!!!" she screamed hysterically. Dr. Kimiko stood up then walked towards a very hysterical Minako. "Calm down dear...I'm not yet sure." she said. "But there's a possibility!!!" Minako pointed out. Dr. Kimiko sighed then held Minako's shoulders. "Calm down!!!" she said while gently shaking the young lady infront of her. "Don't be afraid okay? And what did you just say awhile ago? You have a boyfriend?" Minako nodded in response. "Yaten Kou..." Dr. Kimiko gasped. "As in the Yaten kou from the three lights?" she asked. "hai...They went to a far away country so they could rest. Demo...were still a couple. I don't know what to do..." Minako said while crying. Dr. Kimiko embraced her for comfort.
Usagi woke up with a bright smile on her face. 'Mrs.Chiba' her smile broadened at the name. Starting yesterday afternoon, she is now officially and forever will be...Mrs.Usagi Tsukino-Chiba. Wife of her Prince, and the love of her life. She gently caressed his hair then played with his nose until he finally woke up. "Ohio Mamo-chan..." Mamoru smiled sweetly when he saw his beautiful angel first thing in the morning. "Ohio Usako...slept well?" he asked while sitting up. Usagi sat up beside him with a blanket covering her body. "hai!" she replied enthusiastically then threw her arms around his neck for a choking embrace. "I still can't believe that were already married." he whispered which literary sent shivers through her spine. "I know how you feel. Demo...I'm worried about Minako-chan. I've already confronted her and asked her to tell me the problem but she kept on denying..." Usagi said as her head rested comfortably on Mamoru's muscled chest. He just smiled then wrapped his arms around her waist from the back. "She probably wants to keep some things for herself." "I know and I understand her privacy but for these past few weeks, she's so different! So different...that I don't know her anymore." Usagi trailed off quietly. Mamoru turned her around so that he could face her. "I know you can bring her back and you don't have to worry a thing." he said which caused her to smile that can brighten up anything. Mamoru lifted her face by the chin and as their faces inched closer, Usagi forgot about everything except for the need to be with her beloved.
Minako's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "I'm pregnant?!?! this cant be true!!!" she screamed out hysterically.

*And now, on with the story*
Chapter 1
The air is fresh, the wind is cool and the sun rose to reveal a new and beautiful day. The Earth is now safe once more and everything was peaceful. After the Star lights and their princess left, a feeling of emptiness and loneliness surrounded the five girls. Mamoru noticed this attitude, and tried to confront his fiancé about it. It has been a year after Galaxia's defeat. They sat at a park bench facing the lake and cuddled in each other's embrace. "Usako, It's been almost a year now and...I've noticed the changes since they left. Tell me Usako, do you love him?" Mamoru asked while looking at her blue eyes. "Iie Mamo- chan, *I DON'T...* It's just that I feel incomplete w/o them. They were like a part of us even if they're from a very far away galaxy...I hope you understand." She said in a very quiet voice. "Hai I do understand Usako. I'm sorry if I doubted you." He lifted her face, they kissed as love, and passion flowed inside them.
Billions of kilometers away from earth, in a planet where in olives blossomed in numerous patches and each flower blooms much more beautiful than ordinary ones. The city is rejoicing for their planet has been restored in its beautiful state once more. In the middle of the garden, a palace stood grandly. It is called the ' Fireball palace'. Princess Kakyuu together with her starlights were in the grand ballroom celebrating together w/ the people of Kinomoku. "Fighter, Healer, Maker...Why don't you three enjoy the celebration. Don't just stand there!" Kakyuu said. "Besides, I know some guys out there who would kill just to dance w/ you guys." She added mockingly. "Thank you for the concern your highness but we prefer to go back to our chamber to rest." fighter said. "Well then, I give you my permission. "Kakyuu replied. Princess Fireball stared at her guardians while they retreat. *Something is not right...*she thought. Healer sighed heavily as they walk towards their chamber. "I miss them too..." Maker said w/c surprised the two. "What do you mean Maker?" fighter asked." Let's just talk about this in our chamber." Healer suggested. "Well...okay then..." Fighter said before opening the door of their chamber. The Starlight's chamber is one of the biggest rooms in the palace, aside from Kakyuu sleeping chamber. Maker's corner is on the left side with several shelves of books, leaning on the wall beside her bed. Fighter has the middle portion since she's their leader. Healer on the other hand is at the right side of the room w/ a life size portrait of her as 'Yaten Kou' hangs on the wall. A huge fireplace to keep them warm, a carpeted floor, complete living room set and a sliding door w/c leads to the balcony that overviews the whole city. The three of them sat on the couch at the center of the room while a kettle of hot water was boiling in the fireplace for tea. Healer stood up and took a thick cloth to hold the handle of the kettle. When the tea was ready, she sat back down and sipped her tea before saying: "Love sucks..." Two pairs of eyes stared at her in shock. "What?! hey! I'm just telling the truth here!" She said defensively. "And what do you mean by that miss know it all?" fighter asked snobbishly. "Love sucks when you can't be w/ the one you love! It sucks when you have no guts to tell her how you feel! It sucks when you did nothing to show her you love except for being an obnoxious snob! It sucks when you're a billion light-years away from her!!!" By the time, she finished spilling her secrets, Healer was already standing up, both hands clenched and tears streaming down on her face. Maker was too stunned too speak while fighter's jaw dropped in shock.
Back at Earth, It's been a month since Mamoru's confrontation...The girls were walking towards Hikawa shrine for their weekly scout meeting. "Hey guys!" a familiar voice called out. The four girls turned and saw Mamoru running up to them. "Mamo-chan daijobu ka?" Usagi asked. Mamoru took some quick breaths before answering. "Well... I was at the university visiting my teachers and professors when I remembered the meeting. So I made a mad dash to catch up." "Demo. Where's your car?" Minako asked. "At the mechanic shop for it's monthly tune up. "He explained. "Okay...well then let's go guys! Rei would probably throw a fit when we arrive there... Late as usual." Usagi said with a sigh. "Tsk..tsk...Rei-chan won't kill you alone, we're with you." Makoto teased. "Guys! The outers are probably there and Rei must be pacing in anger!" Ami reminded them. So, four girls and an upper class man ran towards the temple, and up the temple steps. Rei was already pacing back and forth while waiting impatiently. "Rei- chan, calm down... don't worry they're probably on their way here." Setsuna said to calm the senshi of fire. "They better be..." she mumbled. "What took you guys so long?!?!" she exclaimed angrily as soon as the group entered the shrine. "Gomen ne Rei-chan, we met mamoru-san on the way and lost track of time." Minako explained nervously. "She's right Rei- chan, hope you forgive us." Ami said in her usual quiet voice. Rei just sighed in response. "You guys are forgiven..." Michiru said with a smile. When everyone was seated, Luna came in the room. "Minna, Rei-san did a fire reading before you guys came and were lucky enough that she found no threat." Then Haruka cleared his throat, which made everyone look at him. "Is there Something wrong Haruka-san?" Minako asked a bit curious for she saw Michiru blushing. "Iie... there's no problem... I just want everyone to know that..."took Michiru's hand then smile sweetly at her. "Michi-chan is conceiving my baby... our baby that is. "Haruka finished with a broad smile while Michiru's blush deepened. "NANI?!" exclaimed the five girls. "Congratulations Haruka-san, Michiru-chan..." Mamoru said with a smile. "Arigatou...Oi Mamoru! You better hurry up with Usa-chan." Michiru said mockingly. Every eye widened in shock while the mentioned couple was blushing furiously. "Wow! I never thought Michiru would say something like that..."Mako said still in trance from shock. "Mama is acting childish because of her pregnancy!" Hotaru said, while giggling, which caused a tint of blush in Michiru's part. Every one left the temple that night after they talked about the new senshi. Minako was walking in the empty park of Juuban. Artemis stayed home and didn't go to the meeting while the other girls decided to go the Tenou Mansion. Minako refused since she wanted to be alone and think about the things that happened the day before the three lights left.
*FLASHBACK* Minako stared at the magnificent view from Tokyo tower. 'At last...' she thought. 'Peace would rule Earth once again. It's a good thing that Galaxia's already defeated.' Minako breathed in the soft scent of the night air and let her mind drift into fantasy. However, it was abruptly cut off by..."It's a wonderful view isn't it?" asked a raspy yet familiar voice. Minako turned and and gasped when she saw Yaten. But what surprised her most is the fact that his eyes were puffy like he cried for along time. "Y...ya..Yaten.... W..When...what..a..are y..o..u...what happened to you?" she asked stuttering from shock. "I..I..I..don't want to leave!" He exclaimed as fresh batch of tears fell down from her eyes. Minako just stood still in shock when the ex-idol hugged her tightly.' what's going on?' she asked herself still confused. She recovered from her initial shock and wrapped her arms around Yaten for comfort. "shh...stop crying Yaten-kun.I know I shouldn't be asking but... why?" she asked. Yaten pulled of the embrace and wiped his tears. "Co'z...co'z...I don't want to leave you." he replied then slightly smiled. "y..y..You..What?!" she asked in a mere whisper. "I...I...I don't want to leave you co'z I love you." he said while pulling a very stunned goddess of love in his arms for a passionate kiss. They broke off for air since they were breathless from the intensity of the kiss. "Yaten-kun do... do you really love me?" she looked up to him with hope shinning in her eyes. "H...Hai..a..and you?" he asked nervously. Minako smiled then threw her arms around him. "I LOVE YOU!!!" she exclaimed for everyone to hear. Yaten chuckled then carried her in his arms. The new couple was at the park sitting under a cherry blossom tree. "I'll wait for you Yaten-chan... Even if it takes me forever I'll do it just for you." Minako whispered while snuggling deeper in her lover's embrace. "Are you sure? I'm not sure if I can..."she cuts him off by a kiss. "I don't care my love...I love you and it would stay that way." Minako said firmly which made him smile. "Okay then I'll try to come back for you and that's a promise." Yaten said while planting a kiss on her forehead. Minako smiled then pulled out of his embrace. "Something wrong mina-Chan?" he asked. Instead of replying, she removed her ribbon then the one that holds Yaten's hair in a ponytail. "What are you gonna do with those?" he asked with a huge question mark on top of his head.( AN: In the anim'e but in real life, he's just confused ok? good =P ) She just smiled in return while braiding the ribbons together and tying it around the tree's lowest branch. "It means that this tree is the witness of our love and promises." Minako explained at last. Yaten kissed her deeply in response.' I guess he agreed...I don't care if he leaves tomorrow, at least I know he'll come back and that he loves me.' she thought while kissing Yaten with the same passion that he have. *END OF FLASHBACK*
Minako sighed heavily at the memory.' I miss you so much Yaten-chan' she thought sadly. She began to have a feeling of fear as she looked around the park. She's been walking through the park for years but now, as she surveyed the place and the dark path ahead of her, Minako thought that she was already lost. "Hey babe, ya lost?" a voice which made her feel uneasy. A man with wavy brown hair wearing black leather pants and denim jacket with a white t-shirt stepped out from behind the big cherry blossom tree. "Iie..I'm not lost but thanks for asking. I better go home now." she said while walking past him. But the man grabbed her by the wrist. "Why don' t I walk you home? or...we could go somewhere private. "he said with an evil grin. Minako tried to get away from his grip but he was too strong.
Then he shoved her against the tree and started kissing her in a brutal way before she could even scream for help. She tried struggling once more but failed miserably. Minako just stared off at the sky pleading for someone to come and save her as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. Her mind went blank when the man ripped her clothes off and pushed her unto the ground. Minako just stared blankly as the man undressed. More tears fell from her eyes when she looked up and saw the ribbon that she tied a year ago. "Yaten..." she whispered. the man just let out a smirk then proceeded his intent on her. "No one will come and save you babe... it's just you and me here. Even your lover boy won't come to save you." he said while slapping her hard, across the face. Minako screamed loudly when he entered her most private part. It hurt her a lot since she's still a virgin and was planning to remain a virgin for Yaten and not for this bastard who just wanted to have sex with her in the process of rape. Tears continued to flow down on the side of her face when the man continued to claim her and take away the most precious gift she intended to give for the only man that she loved all her life. Minako would never forget the moment when she felt her body being violated and her dreams ripped into shreds by a malicious bastard who took pleasure in her pain. Not only that but she also felt that her mind was raped as well as her body. The man just stared down at her...lying in a heap on the ground almost unconscious. He nudged her side quite hard with a foot and spat at her. "You'll never be clean again whore..."he said with a smirk. "When people find out that you've been raped... they'll stay away from you especially your lover boy...bitch!" he said with a laugh then turned her around. "I'm not yet finished with you babe..." he said while caressing her butt cheek. Minako released the loudest scream she could possibly do when he raped her from the back by entering her anus. Never in her life did she expect that an inhuman thing would happen to her. The man took pleasure with her body as he raped her for what seemed like eternity before dumping her in the bushes like a trash.
Meanwhile at Kinomokusei, Healer fell to the ground from the sofa clutching her chest. "Healer! What's wrong?" Fighter asked while running towards her. Maker on the other hand ran to get a glass of cold water. When Healer drank the water, Fighter helped her sit on the sofa for her body was trembling. " Daijobu ka?" Fighter asked. "It feels weird but...my chest...I felt a sharp stab of pain in my heart...I'm so confused why..."she replied weakly. " I think you better rest. You're probably just tired." Maker suggested. "I guess you're right..." But she never did slept well for a vision kept on entering his mind. * A blonde haired woman lying on the ground filled with sharp thorns and an ugly beast attacking the woman.*
Minako woke up in an unfamiliar place. She blinked twice and realized that she was in a hospital room. She tried to sit up but then winced in pain when she moved. ' What happened?' she asked her self. "Hey you're awake!" a woman said. "I'm Leila your nurse...hold on a sec. I'll just call on Dr. Mizuno." Just then, a woman with curly blue hair came into the room. Minako gasped when she recognized the woman in front of her. "Aunt Kimiko?!" she exclaimed weakly. "Good you're awake." she said with a faint smile. "w..w..what happened...what time is it?" Minako asked still confused. "It's eight in the morning you've been out cold since last night. Mina-chan, It appears that you have been raped." Dr.Mizuno said while gently squeezing Minako's hand. Then everything came back to her in a flash. Minako clenched her fists tightly as tears of hatred sprang from her eyes. "Do you want me to tell the other's about this?" Ami's mother asked. "Iie...I want it to be a secret if possible." she replied while blinking back her tears. "Don't worry dear, you can trust me in keeping your secret." Minako smiled thankfully. "When can I leave the hospital?" she asked. " I still need to run some test on you to make sure you haven't contracted anything from the guy who raped you. After I take your blood & urine samples and I make sure that you are okay enough to leave, then you can be released today. Dr.Mizuno said in her usual serious manner. Half an hour later, Minako was free to go. "Now expect to still feel some pain when you move from time to time. The physical pain will go away with time...but you'll probably never recover fully from the mental pain. It would take even longer to heal...come and talk to me if you have problems in adjusting from the incident. It isn't good to keep everything locked up inside you." Dr.Mizuno said in a motherly way. " Arigatou aunt Kimiko... " Minako said quietly. When she arrived at home, Minako took a quick shower when she found out that Artemis isn't around. She scrubbed herself hard trying to feel clean.' I'll never be clean again...'she thought glumly while slowly sliding down on her knees while the water washed her tears away. Minako hugged herself, and sat under the hot spray for a moment before getting out of the shower and toweled herself dry. She didn't even bother making her hair nice and neat the way she had always done. She put on some clothes then went straight to bed.
The next day, Minako got up before sunrise. Slowly, she tiptoed out of the room then slowly closed the bedroom door to avoid waking artemis. ' I'm hungry...'she thought. ' I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.' Minako opened the fridge to take a jar of mayo. After fixing her tuna sandwich, Minako headed towards the coffee maker for a cup of coffee. ' Aunt Kimiko was right...It does hurt a lot until now.' She winced in pain then sat down so that it would somehow subside. When she was done eating, Minako cleaned the house ever so quietly co'z Artemis is still asleep. Then, she took a quick shower, got dressed and gathered up her things then left for school. Artemis woke up with the sound of the door closing.' Minako, awake this early? It's a miracle!' he thought with disbelief. Usagi stared at Minako with a worried expression. "Something's wrong with Mina-chan." Usagi mused. "Uhuh... I've noticed it too. She's so quiet and unbelievably early today." Mako said while looking at Minako who was staring at the window, sighing heavily every minute. "Too early is what you mean.." ami said while lowering her glasses. "Nani?! What are you trying to point out ami-chan?" Usagi asked in confusion. "You know that I always arrive here early. I saw Minako-chan sitting under our favorite tree this morning. She was deep in thought and was staring at nowhere." ami explained. "Okay! there is a problem!" Usagi said. "I'll talk to her and find out about it." Then, she stood up and went to Minako but the only reply she got was..."I want to be alone."
At Kinomokusei, Princess Fireball was at the palace balcony staring at her kingdom when she spotted her starlights walking in the garden while talking... She couldn't help but over hear their conversation............. " Maker do you miss someone?" healer asked while picking up a yellow rose which reminded her of Minako. "Hai...I feel close to all the girls especially with..."maker trailed off. "Mizuno-san?" Fighter asked. "h..h..how...did...y..you...know?" she stuttered in shock. "I saw you and Mizuno-san making out in our apartment. Luckily, you didn't see me."fighter explained with a smirk. "They did what?!" Healer asked ever so loudly. "Fighter do you really have to say that in front of healer?" the brown haired senshi stressed out in humiliation. "Nani?! and why can't she?" Healer asked with an eyebrow raised. Maker sighed. "Co'z you'll just gonna tease me and bug me about it all day long." "Ha! that's what you think! Besides I can't stand you two...(gags) watching you bookworms makes me sick!" Healer said in an *I don't care* manner. Maker just rolled her eyes. "You two act like kids." Fighter commented. Healer gazed at her with fire rising in her eyes, while maker gave fighter a dagger stare. "You're gonna get it this time odango baka!" Healer exclaimed while dashing towards fighter. " You're gonna wish you haven't said those..." Maker trailed off then followed healer in pursuit for fighter. Kakyuu shook her head as she entered her chamber. ' What am I going to do? I need them and yet...I feel awful. she thought with a sigh. "Fabiola please call Defender, Protector, and Creator. tell them to wait for me in the throne room together with the starlights." Kakyuu ordered. " As you wish...your highness..." The servant bowed before leaving. The three of them, are running around the garden like kids, when all of a sudden, healer stopped for she felt the familiar stab of pain in her chest. Fighter noticed it and ran towards her friend just in time to catch her. " What happened?" Maker asked. " I don't know...she suddenly fainted." Fighter replied while carrying Healer in her arms. " She's probably tired. You know her...She hated running. This is the first time that she ran with enthusiasm." Maker said as they headed back to the palace. When they reached the grand staircase, a servant met them there and announced that Princess Kakyuu was summoning them. They entered the throne room with Healer in fighter's arms still unconscious. When Kakyuu saw them, she stood up and went to them in a flash. "Nani? What happened?" she asked worriedly. It was then tat fighter noticed the presence of Defender, Creator and Protector. "What are they doing here your highness?" Kakyuu faintly smiled. "Onegai...Fighter put Healer down on the cushions." she said while avoiding Fighter's question. When Healer was already laid down, Fighter knelt down beside Maker. "It's a hard decision but I've decided to..." She was cut off when Healer shifted restlessly then..."Iie! Mina-chan!!!" Healer exclaimed then sat up taking quick breaths as a thin sheet of sweat formed on her forehead. Everyone rushed to her side. "What happened Healer?" Creator asked worriedly. Healer blinked a few times. "One-san?" Healer asked in disbelief. "Princess called us here...but I still don't know the reason" Creator explained with a smile. "So...what happened and why did you call Minako-chan's name?" Fighter asked in concern. Healer gasped when she remembered what happened the turned to face her princess. "Hime,I have to go back to Earth! I don't know what's going on back there but I have a feeling that something's wrong." She said as tears slowly streamed down her face. Kakyuu sighed..."As I was saying awhile ago...I've decided to let you three go back to Earth and...for good." Fighter's eyes grew big in shock. "b...b...b..but h..h..ow about you?" "I'll be just fine. Anyway, the three of you may leave tonight. Don't worry about me my starlights... Defender, Creator and Protector would be my guardians." Kakyuu explained with a tearful smile. "Don't worry guys... we'll do our best to protect the princess." Defender said in an assured voice. "I'm counting on that." Fighter said.
Back at Earth...It was almost three weeks after the Incident and Minako was sulking while she sat on the couch. She was eating an apple, for it was the only food, her stomach could take. She cannot eat huge meals for she'll just throw up. Artemis came in the Living room. "What's going on with you Minako-chan? the girls are all worried sick about you! You haven't been eating anything except for an apple and you're not in your usual self!!!" He stressed out in despair. "I'm okay you baka Neko... ja! I have to go somewhere." she said while standing up and went to her room to get dressed.
Minako went to the hospital wearing an over sized sweat shirt and denim skirt with medium heeled sandals and her hair was fixed in a braid instead of her usual style. Minako entered Doctor Mizuno's office nervously. "Mina- chan..." Dr. Kimiko said with a warm smile. "Please...sit down." "Thank you...what are the test results aunt Kimiko?" she asked. "Don't worry dear, all of your test results are negative." Minako looked at her in doubt. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Hai...Is there something wrong my dear?" Minako nodded. "I don't feel good for these past few days. I've been grouchy too and I can't eat huge meals for I would just throw up." she explained. Dr. Kimiko went silent for a few minutes. "I think I have to conduct one last test on you....a pregnancy test that is." "NANI?!?!?!" she exclaimed. "You think I'm pregnant?! IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!" she stood up then started to pace back and forth through out the room. "I can't be pregnant!!! I'm still young and...OH MY GOD! What will Yaten-chan say?! It's totally impossible!!!!" she screamed hysterically. Dr. Kimiko stood up then walked towards a very hysterical Minako. "Calm down dear...I'm not yet sure." she said. "But there's a possibility!!!" Minako pointed out. Dr. Kimiko sighed then held Minako's shoulders. "Calm down!!!" she said while gently shaking the young lady infront of her. "Don't be afraid okay? And what did you just say awhile ago? You have a boyfriend?" Minako nodded in response. "Yaten Kou..." Dr. Kimiko gasped. "As in the Yaten kou from the three lights?" she asked. "hai...They went to a far away country so they could rest. Demo...were still a couple. I don't know what to do..." Minako said while crying. Dr. Kimiko embraced her for comfort.
Usagi woke up with a bright smile on her face. 'Mrs.Chiba' her smile broadened at the name. Starting yesterday afternoon, she is now officially and forever will be...Mrs.Usagi Tsukino-Chiba. Wife of her Prince, and the love of her life. She gently caressed his hair then played with his nose until he finally woke up. "Ohio Mamo-chan..." Mamoru smiled sweetly when he saw his beautiful angel first thing in the morning. "Ohio Usako...slept well?" he asked while sitting up. Usagi sat up beside him with a blanket covering her body. "hai!" she replied enthusiastically then threw her arms around his neck for a choking embrace. "I still can't believe that were already married." he whispered which literary sent shivers through her spine. "I know how you feel. Demo...I'm worried about Minako-chan. I've already confronted her and asked her to tell me the problem but she kept on denying..." Usagi said as her head rested comfortably on Mamoru's muscled chest. He just smiled then wrapped his arms around her waist from the back. "She probably wants to keep some things for herself." "I know and I understand her privacy but for these past few weeks, she's so different! So different...that I don't know her anymore." Usagi trailed off quietly. Mamoru turned her around so that he could face her. "I know you can bring her back and you don't have to worry a thing." he said which caused her to smile that can brighten up anything. Mamoru lifted her face by the chin and as their faces inched closer, Usagi forgot about everything except for the need to be with her beloved.
Minako's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "I'm pregnant?!?! this cant be true!!!" she screamed out hysterically.
