Usagi buried her head in Rei's lap as she sobbed. In just three months time
everything she knew then and what was to be fell apart. Three months ago
Mamoru had come back for a short vacation. He took her out and knew she
never was able to handle liquor correctly. She woke up in her bed with no
memory of coming home. Two months later and several nightmares she knew
what had happened and what was to come. It was simple she was pregnant even
after all the times she had told him no. First time she told him he blew up
and blamed it all on her. The next time she found out that not only had he
moved on but for that past two years he had someone else and in less than a
month they would marry. She had run full force to the Minko's temple and
bawled her eyes out. Telling her story to fiery tempered guardian. That
night ended with her spending the night with a promise no one else found
out. Unfortunately that was short lived. She had forgotten about the
doctor's appointment she had the day earlier. That doctor had called back
which caused not only her parents to find out but also a certain four
legged nagging bag of bones.
Her return home was not pleasant. Her father had stayed home waiting for her to come back. Once she did she found her self thrown to the couch and yelled at. She was sure if she weren't pregnant her father would have struck her. When they had defeated Chaos she had flat out told her family about her events for the last two years. Her parents had said they were happy for her but now she knew different. He flat out told her he should have know she was a slut that slept around. Look at the uniform she wore to fight in. It screamed take me according to him. He went on and on. In the end he flat out told her she was kicked out. Running to her room she found it to be true. Most of her things were in ruins and in boxes already taped up. They had already begun to rearrange her room to that of a guest room in just that short of time. '
A few hours later her mother came in still a little sympathetic to the girl and told her she was moving in with her aunt and would remain there on the premises. Not to go out in public and she would be home schooled till she graduated. After that she was to be pushed out and expected to make it on her own with or with out the child if she put if up for adoption. They did not want a scandal that could jeopardize her father's career. How could she ruin a photographer's career by becoming pregnant? Then again her father was well respect in the community and the business world. It wouldn't look to good if his seventeen-year-old daughter became pregnant with out a father to the baby around.
They let her stay till all arrangements were made. It didn't last till the next morning. She had run out after the movers came and found her self once again being calmed by her best friend. The only one who had stopped and listened to what had happened and believed her. She wasn't sure about Luna because she had disappeared. The next she was to leave for her aunts house in three cities over. That alone was a day's drive.
Rei and Usagi were going over ruff drafts of a letter to the rest of the senshi to explain things, with out having them hunt down the Earth Prince and deliver his proper punishment, when they over heard Rei's grandfather on the phone. He came in a short while later and handed the cordless to Usagi. She accepted a little afraid of who it was.
"Moshi, Moshi."
"Usagi dear is that you?" Usagi recognized it as her Aunt. Her Aunt didn't wait for a reply before continuing. "Look I am sorry but I won't be able to pick you up. You have to find you own way here. I am going out of town " She was cut off by a loud explosion and her Aunt yelling and cursing at two different people. Usagi froze and looked at Rei. She had forgotten her Aunt had a son now and who the father was. Even though they were no longer together he still lived there. Another loud band and the phone went dead. Usagi looked at the phone a little funny before she looked at Rei and began to laugh.
Rei didn't know what to do. She hadn't heard Usagi laugh in so long. Though if she was laughing at her for something she didn't know about. Usagi finally stopped and wiped away a few tears from her eyes.
"Sorry Rei-chan. I just remembered that my Aunt has a few other people living with her. She has her parents there because she isn't totally in control of the business yet, then there is her son who it eight and her son's father. They are not together anymore."
Rei narrowed her eyes why did she feel like it involved her. Usagi's next question caused her to blanch.
"Do you remember your full past?"
"Nani?"
"You know what I mean. Do you remember everything from first becoming senshi to my birth all the way to Beryl's attack?"
"Y.yes."
Usagi grew a big Cheshire cat grin. "The father to my Aunt's son is someone from that time you know very well. Someone you thought had died, but only his father gave him to enemy. If you want anymore you will have to ask him if you can get him away from his training and gravity room."
She watched as the wheels in Rei's head turned and a light of recognition flashed in her eyes. She looked up at Usagi with wide eyes of disbelief.
"Masaka. It can't be.but.he.and.How?"
Usagi gave a sad smile and turned away to look through the opened doors.
"I know the basics of what happened. I have stayed out of his way so he wouldn't find out whom I was and after I had once asked him what he thought of the Sailor Senshi that fought in Tokyo." She gave a snort. " He told me that they were fakes and should be put out of the worlds misery for such mockery for the ones they represented."
She looked up to see the hurt in Rei's eyes. That hurt didn't last long familiar fire lit her eyes as she pursed her lips.
"Really? Well that settles my decision." She turned and looked Usagi straight in the eye. "I am coming with you."
Usagi jerked back a bit.
"NANI?"
"You heard me. I said I am going with you. I have been debating on it since yesterday. You must have someone with you to protect you and the Neo Princess. I will not take no or a command for an answer." Rei smiled realizing she rendered Usagi speechless which was a feat on it's own. Usagi shook herself out of the stupor and chewed on her bottom lip.
"Demo, what about your grandfather and the temple? Or you being the head Priestess?"
Rei let out as sigh and shook her head. "You know why grandfather really aloud Chad (so sue me I forgot his original name and I like this one better.) to stay at the temple? He needed an heir. Sure I could run the temple but he wanted a male to. That has been a family tradition. If there was only a female then she would marry and the husband would take over. The female would be High Priestess of the shrine, but that is not me. I like being in control. Besides you know my other dreams of being a singer/song writer and a businesswoman."
Usagi stared at her in awe. She didn't know this at all.
"Besides now that I know that flee bag is alive I am defiantly coming with you." Rei declared while crossing her arms and scowling. Usagi couldn't help but give a short laugh.
"Alright Rei. You can come I am sure Auntie wouldn't mind. That would just mean more time she wouldn't have to spend on me."
Rei's face darkened. "I thought your Aunt loved you. It sounds like she is no better than your parents."
Usagi sighed. "She does or I guess did. She is mad because I did the same thing that my mother did just a little younger. That is why my mother doesn't talk much to her side of the family. Though she did allow my and Shingo to go over there." Tears began to gather in her eyes. "Besides they told her their side. When I did try to talk to her about it she didn't want to listen."
Rei gave her a hug. "Don't worry I will be there and I will give her a piece of my mind if she tries any thing." Usagi laughed at the picture. Two very stubborn women going head to head and words to words. When she calmed down she pulled back from Rei.
"Thank you very much." Rei smiled and gave her a tight squeeze. An idea popped into her head.
"Rei, I want you to close your eyes. I have a surprise for you." Rei looked at her skeptically but seeing THE pout she sighed and complied. The crescent moon flashed on Usagi's head as a silver glow surrounded her index finger. She placed the finger on Rei's forehead the Mars signal flashed as Rei and Usagi were bathed in red and silver. The light show ended and Rei opened one and looked around. Both eyes snapped open when she realized what exactly Usagi had done. It was one of the main reasons they were so close. She watched as Usagi's new appendage swing back and forth behind her. She turned and saw hers. Instead of the normal brown it was raven colored like her hair only instead of the purple color is was deep red. She turned back when Usagi poked her. Waving in her face was a white tail. Pass the tail she seen Usagi giggling. Rei gave a rather familiar smirk and pounced and began to tickle the girl without damaging her or the unborn.
The day was ending as the two lay side-by-side and watched the day fade to night.
"So it is time." Rei whispered. Usagi nodded.
"Hai, they told us when we got older we must be able to control both sides of our heritage and hopefully merge them together. We can control our magical side now we must tame and conquer our more.. savage side I guess you could call it?" Rei nodded and with her tail she grabbed Usagi's and looked her dead in the face.
" I won't leave you Princess. I promise watch over you and the Neo Princess just as is did on the moon all that long ago. Do you remember our promise?"
Usagi glanced down at her wrist and smiled. Even though she really wasn't the real princess just a new form of her, she still carried one scar. She sat up and held out her wrist to Rei who in turn placed hers against Usagi's.
"Hai I remember. Mother was upset. She didn't like the thought that we became blood sisters. She had us perform it with the others but we used our other wrist."
Rei smiled. "The trouble we caused." Their entwined tails came between them
"Blood to Blood."
"Soul to Soul."
"With our bond we have sealed."
"Our Fate as sisters."
"Nothing comes between us."
"Nothing to tears us apart."
They ended their chant together.
"Blood sisters through and through."
They heard a clap and turned to see Grandpa Hino sniffling. Both girls blushed. They couldn't believe they were caught doing something so intimate.
(Not like sex. Intimate: 1 most private or personal. That is the definition for the word. Used as a noun it means like a close FRIEND. They are rather close friends and in a lot of cultures it is not uncommon to see same sex hold hands in public. They are not guy or bi they are just showing their friendship. They also are known to get rather personal and close in Japan. They have no problems like at parties that are all girls to strip down and show off their undergarments. Don't ask how I know.)
They turned to each other and began to laugh. They gave the old man a kiss on the check good night and headed for bed. Tomorrow was the big day. After dropping the letters off to the other senshi they would make their way in cab to their new home.
That morning on the way two school three girls found letters on their door step waiting for them. on the other side of the world the same letter sat on a coffee table waiting for three others to read.
The three back in Japan slowly made their way to school. It was going to be a dull year with out Usagi to liven it up. Each clutched the letter in their hand.
Dear Senshi,
My parents and I have come to an agreement after a confrontation. I am moving in with my Mother's sister. There I will be tutored. I will keep in touch and write letters. Don't come for me unless I send. I want to do this on my own. I must prepare myself for my up coming role in this world. Now that we have defeated enemies I can truly through my self at the mercies of education and refinement and become who I am to be. I have taken Mars with me as a bodyguard. Believe me when I say we will be safe and well taken for in our new home. Till I see you again know that I love each and everyone of you and if you need me I still have my communicator, as does Mars.
Yours Truly,
Tsukino, Usagi
