Thank you to those who found my mistakes and let me know in a nice way!
Chapter One:
Who's This Endymond-sama?
Usagi frowned as she entered the Crown; it had been a dreadful day. Ever since the battle began with the new invaders, the scouts have been extremely busy. Usagi searched the crown for her friends, but found no one. She then made her way over to the counter, where her older brother; Motoki, was cheerfully wiping down his counter. Sitting across from him, in his normal stool, sipping his disgusting black coffee was her brother's best friend and roommate, Mamoru Chiba.
"Hello Usa and how was your day today?" He handed her a tall chocolate milkshake, as she took a seat next to Mamoru.
Usagi sighed and shook her head "Awful, just awful, Toki."
Motoki and Mamoru frowned, "Why? What happened?" They said in unison. In the past few years, Motoki had become concerned about his baby sister, always disappearing at random unexpected moment then returning to be completely wiped out. Then there were her friends, he found it strange how protective her nine friends were, like bodyguards. But don't even get him started on the creepy white and black cats that always followed her around. He had tried to confront Usagi, but she only laughed in his face and gave him nothing but excuses. Feeling defeat Motoki confided in his roommate and best friend.
"This morning after you dropped me off… I was tripped by this stupid girl, who caused me to fall down the steps." Usagi held up her elbow to show her bandaged injury. "Then after being sent to the nurse, the same girl caused me to drop all of my books!" Usagi placed her hands over her face in aggravation. "At lunch she split her apple juice in my hair!... But Mako-chan made her apologize..." Usagi sighed looking at Motoki then at Mamoru, noticing their irritation. "Well that's not all… Then after going to the girl's locker room and taking a shower, she came in and stole my clothes, Leaving me in just a freaking towel! And if that wasn't bad enough, she allowed the whole sports team to come into the locker room, at a price mind you, to get a peek at 'little miss prude' as she calls me… It was sooo embarrassing!... As I tried to run and hide she pulled my towel off… And well you can guess the rest." She placed her head in her hands, the day's events making her aggravated and saddened that someone would hate her so much.
Motoki took his apron off and angrily walked over to his sister. "Did you tell the principal?" he demanded. Usagi shook her head negatively. "Why the hell not?" He yelled.
"Because Mako-chan punched her…After Minako-chan and Ami-chan discovered what happened… If I tell then Mako-chan will be expelled…"
Motoki took a seat. Watching as tears filled his sister's eyes. Wordlessly he embraced her glancing at Mamoru, who looked just as irritated.
Usagi shook her head into her brother's chest. "I don't get why she hates me so much?...I don't even know her!"
Motoki rubbed her back trying to sooth her weeping; at that time a tall short haired blond woman, who resembled a man, ran over to the sobbing teen followed by a tall turquoise haired woman. Both concerned and fuming.
"Koneko!" The blond woman said taking Usagi from her brother's protective arms. Motoki rolled his eyes, watching as Usagi threw herself into the taller woman's embrace. "Haruka-san" She cried shaking her head. "Please don't do anything… Please…"
Haruka looked down at her trembling princess; softening her features and pushing her irritation down, she said "It's alright, Koneko, Minako and the others told us everything… I think you should come with us… We are all meeting at Rei to discuss this… 'problem.'"
Usagi looked up at Haruka and nodded understanding what she meant by 'problem'. Motoki on the other hand pulled his sister back to him causing Haruka and Michiru to both send threatening glares at the man. Mamoru stepped protectively in front of his two friends.
"I believe Odango has been through enough today." Mamoru said turning to the now glaring couple.
Motoki nodded in agreement, "This dilemma can be dealt with by her family, NOT by her friends, Usa will stay with me till my shift is finished and then I will take her home, I'm sure our parents would like to hear about this."
Usagi noticed the death glares her senshi's were casting at the two gentlemen; and, she knew if she didn't speak the two outer Senshi would murder her brother and friend with no thought of repercussions.
"Haruka-san, Michiru-san." The two's hard glares softened, "Please, head to Rei-Chan's I'll be there in a moment…I need to speak with my brother…" Usagi stared at the two with authoritative eyes.
Michiru and Haruka shared apprehensive glances "Koneko-chan…what if-"
Usagi cut her off, knowing what she was worried about, "I understand your concern Haruka-san, Michiru-san… But I promise I will be fine, Rei's temple is only a few blocks away. And I have my com-cell phone if I need you… Now, please head to Rei's and inform the others I will be there when I finish my business." Usagi's voice left no room for discussion.
Haruka and Michiru bowed their heads in defeat, and reverence. "As you wish."
Usagi glared at the two as they left quickly. She turned to her brother and Mamoru, who just stood, stunned. Mamoru had never heard Usagi speak in such a regal and authoritative nature before, even her posture changed in to one of elegance and grace. Motoki had seen this side of his sister many times around her nine friends; this made him even more concerned. How could his little sister have such power over four sixteen-year old girls, three grown woman, one twelve year old and two cats?. However, he could not help but wonder how four sixteen-year old girls, three grown woman, one twelve year old, and two cats could intern be just as domineering.
"Usa…You should really take a break… I don't want you going to that weird girl's temple tonight." Motoki said concerned.
"Rei is not weird, Toki, she's a miko remember? And anyway it's important I go…"
"And why is that? You never answer any of my questions about these nine girls? Whatever happened to hanging out with Naru-san? And Umino-san? Why are you hanging out with a slut, a bully, a nerd… Well, I don't mind Ami-chan, she's such a sweetie… Anyway a weird spirit girl, that dark little girl, who sees dead people…" Motoki shivered, thinking of when that little girl seen his grandfather, "And then there are those three older women! Why would three 22-year old women want to hang out with a bunch of sixteen year old girls? And why is that Haruka-ama so freaking overprotective of you?"
He continued on, "Even around me, your own BROTHER? And those freaking cats of yours! Why are they always fallowing you everywhere? And what's up with the weird blotches that look like moons on their foreheads? Why is it that EVERY time your cell goes off you have to leave? What is it that is so fucking important that you have to leave right then and there…FOR THEM?" Motoki was breathing heavy by the end of his questioning, both Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other, neither had seen him get this angry before.
"He's been holding this in for a while." Mamoru said, trying to smile reassuringly at the shocked Usagi. Mamoru glanced around the crown noticing that everyone's eyes were on them. "Um… Can we carry this conversation in the back?" He said, pointing indirectly at the staring customers. "You have an audience."
The three walked to the office at the back of the arcade, after closing the door behind him, Motoki stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest leaning against the door while glaring at his sister. Mamoru took a seat on the desk watching the two intently, as Usagi stood arms to her side staring at her older brother with venom-filled eyes. 'A rare occurrence for the petite, blonde, blue-eyed, loving girl.' Mamoru thought to himself.
"Okay! Let's get one thing straight here! Do NOT ever EVER call my friends any of those suggestive and horrible names! Minako-chan, Mako-chan, Ami-chan and Rei-chan are my best friends! They are always there to help me out especially since this stupid girl transferred to my school. She has done nothing but make my life a living hell and those girls, whom you so unforgiving insulted have been there for me! Minako-chan is NOT a slut!-" Her words were cut off as Motoki said angrily.
"She dates anything with a dick!" Usagi stared at him wide-eyed, the words making her even angrier, while the words caused Mamoru to chock on his coffee.
"NO SHE DOES NOT! Sure Minako likes boys, but ALL sixteen-year old girls like boys! I would probably have a boyfriend right now if it wasn't for YOU!" Usagi said with a roll of her eyes towards the man in question.
"And me." Mamoru added, trying to add a little humor to the intense conversation.
Usagi rolled her eyes "Don't get me started on you!" Usagi said glaring at Mamoru and then turning back to her brother, who was still standing his ground. "If it wasn't for Mako-chan being such a 'bully' as you put it... Then you would be fighting away all those stupid immature ass wholes at my school. As for Rei-chan she's amazing at what she does, there's really no other way to put it."
She continued on with her rant before her brother could intervene. "Now on to my three other friends, Michiru-san, Haruka-san and Setsuna-san, yes they are older than us, but they are mentors, there like older sisters and I love and cherish them as I do the girls. Haruka-san is just like you Toki! And don't speak about Hotaru-chan like that! She's only 8 and has special abilities like Rei. She's a very sweet child! As for my cats, they are as close to me as the girls, so leave them alone! I would gladly die for my friends as they would do for me, if it wasn't for them, Toki, I wouldn't be here right now, so be grateful instead of angry! Now I have to go, I'm sixteen, not twelve and have a right to live my life."
And with that Usagi kissed her brother on the cheek and hugged Mamoru, who smiled sweetly at her."Would you like a ride Odango?" Mamoru asked as Motoki stepped away from the door. Usagi shook her head negatively.
"Usa, please rides with Mamoru-kun." Motoki pleaded.
Usagi smiled "Fine, if it would make you smile."
Motoki smiled at his sister nodding, "It would, greatly."
"Okay then let's get going Odango." Mamoru said as he grabbed her hand.
**In the car**
"You know he's only worried about you Usako?" Mamoru said placing his free hand over hers.
Usagi smiled and squeezed his hand gently, "I know, it's just..." She let out an exhausted sigh and gazed out the window. "It's just since I turned fourteen, my life has become a little more complicated, I just wish he would let it go, like you did."
Mamoru placed his hand back on his steering wheel as he parked the car. He turned to Usagi as she took her seat belt off. "Usako, you know I never let it go… You just change the subject or ignore my questions."
Usagi sighed giving him a small smile "The girls are waiting for me…I have to go…"
Usagi looked out the window; she could see Haruka walking down the many steps of the temple. "Mamo-chan?" She questioned.
"Mm?"
"When do you believe we can reveal our relationship?"
Mamoru ran his fingers threw his black hair, nervously. "I don't know Usako… You know Motoki-kun would kill me, and not to mention the girls would have my head."
Usagi smiled and nodded "I know… It just sucks sneaking around… Anyway I should go, Haruka is waiting right there," She said, pointing at the overprotective Senshi, who looked as though she was standing on guard.
"Meet me at the park at 9 o'clock tonight?" He asked quickly.
"Of course!" She said with a wink. As she got out of the car and walked up the stairs with Haruka.
"Sorry I'm so late guys, Toki was asking questions again!" Usagi sat down at the head of the room.
"Its fine, Usa." Minako said smiling they were all use to Motoki's suspicion of his little sister, "Now let's gets down to business, Kari-ama."
"Today, she really went too far." Ami said, frowning, not liking the fact that this girl was picking on her best friend.
"It's like she's out to get me!" Usagi said slamming her fist into the table.
"Could Galaxia know who Usagi-chan really is?" Makoto asked, concerned. Usagi lifted her head staring in fright at the brunette-haired "muscle" Senshi.
"That's definitely a possibility." Setsuna answered, as the Senshi stared at Usagi with fear.
"I say until we know for sure, one of us needs to be with you at all times Koneko-chan." Haruka voiced.
The girls all nodded in agreement, "We can't let anything happen to you Usa, you're too important to us all." Ami said placing a hand on her best friend's shoulder.
Usagi smiled at her Senshi, "I understand."
"I'll take Koneko-chan home tonight. Tomorrow, I will drive you to school and every day after that until we find out what's going on. Tomorrow, Ami-chan, Mina-chan and Mako-chan will be with you during school and after till Rei-chan can join, Michiru-chan and I will come and take over at four. Minna-chan agree?"
"There goes my life, again." Usagi said, annoyed. "How will I explain this to Toki, he's already suspicious as it is!"
"Have Mamoru-san talk to him." Rei said, knowing Mamoru and Motoki were like brothers.
Usagi nodded, "I have to meet with him tonight." She glazed at her watch. "In a few minutes actually... But I think it will raise concern if he sees you with me, Haruka-san."
"Just tell him it was late and I didn't want you walking home alone, nor do I like the idea of you being alone in a park with a man alone at this hour." Haruka stood and helped her hime up. "it isn't a lie, I really feel that way."
Taking a deep breath Usagi nodded. 'There goes my date.' She thought to herself.
**At the Park**
Mamoru stood as he saw Usagi walk toward him, his smile faded as he noticed Haruka fallow close behind her.
"Usako what is she doing here?" he whispered.
Usagi gave him an apologetic look and turned to Haruka, who was a few feet away. Usagi stared at the Senshi, telling her to back down. Haruka nodded her understanding' "I'll be over there if you need me." She called out.
Haruka walked over to a tree that was far enough to keep an eye on her hime, but not close enough to hear their conversation.
"I'm sorry Mamo-chan," Usagi sat down on the bench, as Mamoru did the same, but sat a little away from her.
"Why did she follow you here? Why not ask her to leave?" he asked annoyed.
Usagi shook her head, "I can't. I know you hate this, but I can't explain so please don't ask me to." Usagi stared at him with pleading eyes.
Mamoru let out a frustrated breath, "This is why Motoki and I are always on you about your friends!"
"About Toki… I need you to do something for me Mamo-chan, please." Usagi said softly looking down at her intertwined hands.
Mamoru looked at Usagi with a stern stare. "Haruka-san will be driving me to school every morning for a while… I need you to convince my brother that it's fine."
Mamoru shook his head "Usa-ko! Why does she need to drive you to school? You know your brother looks forward to his morning drives with you! And anyway this is getti-" Mamoru was cut off by the sound of her 'cell phone' "Errr..." He growled in frustration. "What now?"
Usagi looked over to Haruka who was now running over to her. Usagi stood and turned to Mamoru, "I'm really sorry, Mamo-chan." she whispered.
Mamoru rolled his eyes, standing up, aggravated.
Haruka was standing by Usagi's side in a minute. "We really have to go, now." She said urgently.
"No!" Mamoru stated firmly, as Haruka grabbed Usagi's arm to pull her along.
"Mamoru-san, please don't do this… Not now." She pleaded. "Please talk to my brother for me... Please?" Usagi sent him a small smile.
Mamoru shook his head once more "No, I won't do it! Tenoh-san, you can go ahead, but Odango is staying here; we still have some unfinished business to discuss!"
Haruka shook her head, dismissing the idea, while glaring at Mamoru, threatening him to back down with her gaze.
"Stop it both of you!" Usagi demanded as her 'cell phone' went off once more.
She turned to Mamoru "I know your upset, Mamoru-san, but I have to go. Whether you like it or not! Haruka-san let's go!" Usagi grabbed the tall blonde's hand and took off toward Haruka car, leaving Mamoru to stand alone in the empty park.
Slamming the door shut, he threw his briefcase down on his kitchen counter. "Man do you need to slam the door?" Motoki yelled in annoyance from the other room. "Why are you pissed?" He asked, walking into the kitchen, after noticing his friend's irritated features. "Did you and this mystery girlfriend of yours, get into a fight?"
"You could say that," Mamoru mumbled, "But it wasn't really my girlfriend." He added on, remembering that Motoki would ask why he said it was his girlfriend, when it was Motoki's sister.
"Well, it will be alright Mamoru, just give her some time to cool down and everything will work itself out. Now, what was the fight about anyway?"
Mamoru took a deep breath. "We need to talk, majorly."
**A few minutes later**
"Why the fuck does she wants Haruka-ama to take her to school for? And what were you doing meeting my little sister at the park this late at night?"
"She wanted me to talk to you about this whole riding to school thing." He said offhandedly.
Motoki cooled down a bit, "Good, I thought you were going to tell me you were seeing my baby sister." Motoki placed a calm arm around his best friend. Mamoru stiffened a bit. "Because you know, if that were the case, I would castrate you with a dull kitchen knife." he said, seriously.
Mamoru let out a nervous laugh; both the nervous laugh and the stiffening of his body had gone unnoticed by Motoki. Motoki walked over to the couch and slumped down, "Well I guess I could talk to her about this tomorrow."
**At Tokyo tower**
"Sailor Moon!" Jupiter yelled as she ran to her fallen princess's side. The blast hit her so fast and hard that she didn't have time to move. Uranus watched as Mercury and Jupiter helped stand her up. "You'll pay for that bitch!" Jupiter yelled at the youma.
"World Shaking..."
"Submarine Reflection!"
"Silence Glaive Surprise!"
The attacks hit the evil youma straight on, but did nothing. "What is this thing?" Uranus yelled in frustration.
"Mercury did you find a weakness, yet?" Neptune asked angrily.
"No, the only power, so far, that is strong enough to even scratch it, is Sailor Moon's." Mercury replied as she looked up from the computer.
Sailor Moon looked to her senshi. She had been fighting since the battle began, and she was covered in scrapes and cuts that were bleeding pretty badly. She could barely walk on her left ankle.
"I need all of you to step back, I'm going to hit it and hit it hard!" Sailor Moon yelled.
"But your hurt!" Venus yelled at her hime.
"I'll be fine," She retorted. "Now, fall back that's an order!" the scouts did as their commander ordered and stood behind her.
Sailor Moon closed her eyes and turned into her hime form. She slowly raised her arms to the sky speaking in Lunarian tongue.
"I call upon the Moon Kingdom, the Silver Crystal of the goddess Selene, to aid me, Princess Serenity, daughter to Queen Selenity, future Queen of the Silver Golden Alliance, in defending the people of earth against this evil. I call upon the alliance Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune..." The girls each glowed in their prospective colors, "Silver Eternal Moon Honey ATTACK!"
A bright light of rainbow colors emerged out of the silver crystal and bombed right into the youma's chest killing it instantly. Princess Serenity disappeared as Usagi appeared, still covered in cuts and scrapes, bleeding through her clothes. Her face showed an ugly bruise on her left eye and a cut dripping blood under her right eye. Her lips were now swollen and also showed a small cut, which was bleeding. Usagi fell to the grown unable to stand "I think it's twisted," she said holding her ankle as she lay upon the ground.
Motoki and Mamoru were jolted out of bed at the sound of someone banging on the door.
"Who the hell could that be at this hour?" Mamoru said annoyed walking to the front door as Motoki followed behind him, "What the hell is that for?" Mamoru asked pointing at the baseball bat in his frightened friend's hands.
"Who knows who it could be?" Motoki said holding the bat up ready to swing.
Mamoru rolled his eyes as he opened the door, "What?" he said annoyed. "Shingo-kun?" he said surprised. "What are you doing here this late?"
Shingo pushed pasted Mamoru and ran straight to his brother, "T-Toki," he said, though his tears. Motoki knelt down dropping the bat
"What is it Shingo? How did you get here this late? Why are you here this late? Do mom and dad know?"
Shingo nodded "They sent me here…it's Usa!"
Mamoru and Motoki both gave worried looks to the small ten-year old.
"Shingo, what happened to Usagi?" Motoki demanded.
"I don't know, her friends brought her home, she was covered in cuts and bruises, and she was bleeding everywhere! She couldn't even walk…. She…She's at the hospital now, mom and dad took her there… It looks like she was beaten up pretty bad!" The small boy said, almost screaming through his tears, worrying over his older sister.
The two men grabbed the small child and ran out the door, both still in their pajamas.
"Seriously I'm fine oka-san, oto-san…I'm okay." Usagi insisted.
"What happened to you Usagi-chan!" Her mother demanded, "Did someone jump you?"
"Did one of those friends do this to you?" her father asked fuming.
Usagi winced as the doctor wrapped her ankle, "God no, oto-san! My friends saved me!...I guess you can say I was jumped… You know stupid me walking alone at night and all."
The eight girls sat silently as they waited for news on their hime and friend. "What do you think her parents are saying right now?" Minako asked playing with her fingers nervously.
"Thinking it's our fault no doubt." Haruka said annoyed, as she leaned back in her uncomfortable chair.
"Did you see her parent's faces? I thought they were going to shot us on sight." Michiru said shaking her head.
"They hate us" Rei said quietly.
"With good reason!" Came an angry voice from behind them. The girls turned to see a very worried and angry Motoki and Mamoru, still dressed in their pajamas, with a sad Shingo trailing them.
"You weren't there, Motoki-san!" Mako-chan defended her group. "Don't give us a hard time, We're not in the mood!"
"You're not in the fucking mood? My sister is sitting in a hospital because she was beaten, WHILE she was with YOU! And you're not in the FUCKING mood?" Motoki screamed at them, his arms flaying everywhere, while Mamoru came up behind him, having spoken with the nurse.
"Motoki-kun, this isn't the time nor the place for this discussion with them. The nurse said she's in room 206 with your parents, why don't you and Shingo-san go see how she's doing?"
Motoki gave his friend a thankful nodded and turned back to glare at the girls. "When we get back, you all better be gone or I'll have security throw you out!" Motoki said firmly, as Shingo and he made their way down the hall.
Mamoru turned to face Haruka, "What happened? And don't give me that crap about being jumped!"
Haruka shook her head, not responding, as Rei answered, "I'm sorry, Mamoru-san, but we can't say."
"What do you mean YOU can't say? She's in this hospital, hurt because something happened to her! While I was over with the nurse I saw the photos they took of her body when she was brought in! Those cuts were clean cuts, meaning someone used a sharp object on her not just their fist! Now what the fuck happened!"
The girls stayed quite not answering his questions, even the older ones who should be responsible did not answer, until Minako finally spoke up, "It isn't our place, Mamoru-san, if Usagi-sama wishes for you to know then she will tell you… We cannot, I'm sorry," she said, turning to her friends, "We should go girls, while we are able to on our own."
The scouts were ready to argue until she shot them all a warning glare. They all nodded and started to walk away, but not all followed closely. Haruka stayed behind as she faced a fuming Mamoru. "I know you care for her, Chiba-san, I can see it whenever you look at her… Get over it, she has someone already out there waiting for her, and I'll be damned if I let you ruin that for her! Or him!"
Mamoru clinched his fist; he had never wanted to hit a woman so badly as he did at that moment. "What goes on between Usagi and I is none or your business or concern!" He replied, ice cold was his tone.
Haruka gave Mamoru a wicked smirk, "Oh but it is." She smiled ferociously, "You see, I have a mission to uphold and you will not get in the way of her future with her one true love, her Endymion-sama… or I'll kill you." She said still smirking, "Go say your hellos and then walk away Chiba-baka." With that, Haruka vanished.
'Who does she think she is? Telling him whom he can and cannot see? And who is this asshole that's waiting for HIS Usa-ko?' Mamoru was brought out of his thoughts as he felt a familiar hand on his shoulder "Mamoru-san." He turned around to see Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino carrying a sleeping Shingo.
"Thank you for waiting Mamoru-san," Kenji said kindly.
"It's no problem, Tsukino-san, how is Usa?" He asked concerned.
Ikuko gave Mamoru, a knowing look. "You can go into see her Mamoru-san, Motoki is sitting by her bedside right now." She kissed Mamoru on the cheek and pushed his hair out of his eyes. "Come to our house for dinner on Sunday, Mamoru-san, you know I have always looked at you as my third son."
Mamoru smiled sweetly at the woman who he had looked to as a second mother since he was fourteen-years old. "We are very grateful that Motoki and you have been best friends since childhood Mamoru-san, and now you're looking after our little Usa too." She said with a wink.
Mamoru blushed and glanced at Kenji, who was looking from his wife to Mamoru.
"Usa and Mamoru-san?" He asked with a hit of annoyance in his voice. Mamoru feeling frightened by the overprotective father bowed politely towards the couple.
"Sunday sounds great, Tsukino-oka-san, I'm going to see Us-Motoki-kun now, good night. Arigato for the invitation." Mamoru said as he backed away quickly. Ikuko gave a small giggle as she rubbed her husband's back to help calm him down. Thankful that his arms were full with their youngest child.
"Hey Motoki," Mamoru said as he walked over to his best friend.
"Look at her face, Mamoru-kun." Mamoru walked to the other side of Usagi's bed and held back his sudden urge to embrace the wounded blonde. He was relieved to see that she appeared healthier then what the pictures showed that he looked at earlier.
"Motoki-kun, why don't you go to the cafeteria and get some coffee. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long night," Mamoru offered, looking at his friend, he could see that Motoki looked thankful for the break.
"Ah, Motoki," Mamoru said, as his friend opened the door. "Why is your sister's cats lying on the bed with her?" Luna looked to both men casting them both glares. "And why is she glaring at us?...do cats even glare?"
Motoki waved his hand in irritation, "Those stupid cats came through the window and won't leave! The nurse said that Usa demanded that they stay with her. If anyone tried to move them, that evil black thing bites them as hard as she can." Luna sat tall with a proud smile on her cat face.
Mamoru stared at the cat "That's one freaky cat."
Mamoru sat in Motoki's vacated seat and crossed his arms, "Okay, Usa-ko, open your eyes! I know you're not sleeping." Luna turned her head to her charge and back to Mamoru. 'What is he talking about she is sleeping.' Luna thought annoyed.
Luna jumped when she heard a growl, "How'd you know?" Usagi slowly opened her eyes and sat up, wincing a little as she moved her hurt ankle.
Luna seeing her charge moving smacked Artemis with her paw waking him up. The two cats snuggled against their hime purring, Usagi giggle as their fur tickled her neck. "It's nice to see you two, too." Usagi scratched Luna and Artemis behind their ears smiling. "It's alright my friends, I am fine." The two cats smiled brightly at their hime happy to hear she was all right. Mamoru on the other hand stared at the sight strangely.
"You have some interesting pets, Odango." Mamoru said feeling a bit left out.
Usagi just smiled lovingly at them, "They're my companions, my friends."
"Usa-ko," Mamoru started, not noticing the look of distress in Usagi's eyes and the look of confusion in her pets' faces. "What happened tonight? Don't tell you that you were jumped; I'm not buying it. I'm a med student, remember? I know when an injury is caused by a punch or a sharp object."
Usagi was quiet she didn't know what to say, 'Oh, well you see, Mamo-chan, I'm really Sailor Moon, and a reincarnated hime of the moon from thousands of years ago, oh and by the way I am also suppose to marry this Prince of Earth, Endymion-sama.' She thought as she shook her head. 'No.' that's when she looked closely at him, and started laughing, pointing at his clothes, he blushed.
"Usa-ko..."
"Mamoru-san…"
Mamoru looked around the room, the only time she calls him Mamoru is when other people are around, other than that, it's always Mamo-chan. He stared at her with infuriate, confused and hurt.
"Don't look at me like that, please," Usagi took a deep breath. "Please understand that I can't tell you, just understand that I'm fine, you don't have to worr-"
Mamoru stood clinching his fist to his sides "Not WORRY? Understand that my girlfriend is-"
He stopped as he saw the shocked look on Usagi's face; all the color in her porcelain skin had turned gray, as her eyes lowered to her two cats that were glaring at her.
"Lu..Luna..." she stuttered.
Mamoru let out a frustrated growl causing Usagi to look up "So what? Now we have to hide our relationship from your CATS too?"
Usagi didn't know what to do she looked from Mamoru to her advisers, who still glared daggers at her.
"Hey I got some coffee..." Came Motoki's voice as he entered the room. The four of them looked up as Motoki took a step back, "Wow, you could cut the tension in here with a knife," he said, looking from a fuming Mamoru to a guilty looking Usagi, clearly confused on why there was so much tension.
"USA! You're awake!" Motoki placed the coffee holder into Mamoru's arms rushing to his sisters side "Domo Arigato, God!" He said embracing her.
"I…can't…breath…" Usagi said as Motoki bear-hugged her.
Luna meowed, scratching Motoki's arm making him pull back in slight pain. "What the hell was that for you dumb-"
"Toki!" Usagi yelled. "She was only protecting me from your killer bear hug!" Usagi smiled at her brother as he leaned down again to kiss her forehead.
"Don't worry Usa I swear those assholes will pay for what they did to you! Right Mamoru-kun?" Motoki turned to his best friend with a huge smile of determination.
Usagi stared at Mamoru with pleading eyes, "Please." She mouthed. Mamoru let out a deep breath and smiled back at his best friend, "Right."
By the next morning Usagi's leg was healed and her bruises and cuts were gone. "It's a magical recovery!" her mother yelled happily. Everyone happy, everyone that is except Mamoru, something wasn't right. The doctor in him took over, 'There's no way a human can heal that fast over night, after sustaining such a large amount of injuries.'
Usagi lay on her bed. It was Sunday, and Mamoru and Motoki were on their way over for Sunday dinner. Usagi's week was the same as it was every day. The same girl, Kari, made her life a living hell. At less this time she couldn't do too much damage, since she had one of the scouts with her at all times.
Usagi took a deep breath, as she heard Motoki and Mamoru's voices down stairs. She turned to see Luna, who was glaring at her. "Luna, would you mind knocking that off, it's really annoying!"
"What are you thinking? Dating Mamoru-san? What about Endymion-sama?"
"I'm so sick of everyone telling me about this Prince I am to marry, Luna! I'm happy with Mamoru, well as happy as I can be, I wish I could just tell him the-"
"Don't you dare Usa!" Luna ordered, causing Usagi to stand in frustration. "Endymion-sama is your future husband, you loved him on the moon, don't you remember?"
Usagi shook her head in frustration, "NO, No I don't remember loving him! I remember being forced to be with him! I remember crying every night because I didn't love him! And now my life is going right back to where it was once before!" Before Luna could retort a response, a knock came to the door. "Come in" Usagi yelled in frustration.
"Hello Usa," Motoki said smiling at his little sister. "What's the matter now?" he asked as he saw her frustrated look.
Usagi looked to Luna then back to Motoki. She let out a sigh and shook her head, "Nothing, is dinner ready?"
Motoki knew she was hiding something, but decided to save it for later. "Yeah, let go."
At dinner Usagi sat in-between Motoki and Mamoru. "Usa, honey, what's wrong? You barely touched your dinner, aren't you hungry?" Her mother asked worried, thinking of the way Usagi normally eats.
"I bet it's a boy!" Shingo said smiling at his father's panicked face.
"A-a boy? Usagi Selene Tsukino!" Kenji yelled, thinking back to the hospital.
Usagi glared at her little brother as Motoki about chocked on his chicken and Mamoru's face turned white.
"Usagi has a boyfriend," Shingo sang causing his father to stand, breathing heavy.
Usagi slapped her forehead and glanced down at Luna, who glared at her still mouthing "Endymion." Usagi felt her actual cell phone go off as she received a text message. She flipped it open to see a message from Artemis, "Break it off. You have Endymion-sama!" How a cat can send a text message, I don't know, but it's really annoying. She thought to herself. She slammed her phone shut, ready to scream; however, Mamoru had seen the message, sadly he thought about Haruka's warning, and now this, Who is this Endymion-sama?
Usagi stood causing her panic and fuming father to stop his rambling about a delinquent daughter and a shot gun and dead boys, Shingo stopped his laughing, Ikuko stopped trying to calm her husband down and Motoki finally stopped chocking. Everyone looked up at Usagi who was overly irritated.
"That's enough!" She yelled causing everyone to stare at her in shock, Luna backed away as her gaze fell to her and then back to her family and Mamoru. It wasn't Usagi…it was Serenity who now spoke to them.
"I have had enough! Everyone stay out of my life, stop trying to control me! God I had enough of it back then and I am sick of it now!"
No one knew what she was talking about, "Shingo, I do not have a boyfriend, Father compose yourself, give up being so overprotective all the time! I'm not a small child anymore! I have seen and done things you ALL would never believe, not even in your wildest dreams, so STOP!" She pushed her way past Motoki when her 'cell phone' went off. She turned to Luna, who was staring at her.
"I have to go," she said quietly.
Her family to shock to stop her stood frozen all except Mamoru, who ran after her. Once outside Usagi was ready to run until she felt a firm hand on her wrist.. "Let go Mamoru-san!" Usagi said adamantly, "I have to leave!"
"No" Mamoru turned her around to face him, "What was that all about? Who's Endymion-baka?"
"I can't have this conversation with you right now, Mamo-chan, I have to go. But I promise I will tell you tonight ." She promised him. Luna let out a small squeak causing Usagi to look down at her. "I don't care Luna." Usagi looked up into Mamoru's eyes. "I love him," she said causing a smile to creep upon his face.
"I love you too, Usa-ko." He said as he captured her lips in a sweet, passionate kiss.
Usagi reluctantly pushed away "I'm sorry, I have to go, now." As her 'cell phone' continued to go off in her pocket.
Mamoru hesitated a moment and then let go of her, "Okay, tonight?"
Usagi nodded consensually. "Tonight," She looked down at Luna. "Let's go, Luna."
Mamoru looked on confused, "She talks to that cat as if it can understand her." He said to no one as he shook his head.
