Disclaimer for all chapters: I do not own Inuyasha or Sailormoon
Usagi hurried down the street to the temple, Rei was going to be so mad at her for being late but at least she could make an attempt to use the rain as an excuse, she smiled as she saw steps ahead and ran up them without stopping. She smiled as she thought about her friends and the lecture that would leave her with some treat Makoto made if she promised to be a bit earlier for their next meeting, she reached the top to see a man standing with an umbrella over his head.
"Ah, Selenity, I must say it looks as though you've been aging well since your rebirth, and your powers have been growing as well, quite well," the man said with a smirk as Usagi stayed quiet staring up at him as the rain continued to fall.
"That look of defiance and ambition has not gone from your beautiful eyes but that is part of the beauty that your mother gave you which captivated me so much when she was alive," he said staring up into her eyes.
"Who are you and how do you know about my past," Usagi asked taking a step back away from him to receive a shock look upon his face before he looked away with a frown.
"I am Naraku and you are my only child Selenity, when I found out what happened to the moon I went through the time gates and began searching everywhere for you. I was in Feudal Japan when I heard your mother's voice telling me where she had placed you, but a terrible thing happened, I was attacked by a half demon named Inuyasha with three of his friends, they shattered the jewel I need to stay alive and hurry to get the pieces before I can, I need it to live," he said taking a step closer.
"I don't remember my father, how can I know you're telling the truth, if you are and I walk away I leave knowing I'm responsible for both of my parents death but if you aren't and I help you, I can save your life or you could be using me for something," Usagi said taking two steps back.
"Because, I too possess the golden crescent moon upon my brow and the jewel I carry is part of your crystal, when the two are combined the user shall have unlimited power, that's why Inuyasha and his group search for it so frantically," Naraku said grabbing her hands.
"May I have some time to think about this," Usagi asked looking up into his purple eyes as he looked down at her and he nodded in agreement.
"I will return tomorrow morning for your answer," Naraku said with a nod and began down the steps, Usagi watched until he was out of sight and went to Rei's room.
She entered it to find Rei sitting on her bed reading a Sailor V Manga while soft music played from her stereo, she sighed in content as she turned over and saw Usagi standing soaking wet by her door.
"What are you doing here, the meeting was cancelled because of the rain, you're soaking wet, take off those clothes before you catch a cold," Rei said getting up and putting down the Manga.
She pulled out some clothes for her, as Usagi took off her wet uniform and placed them in Rei's hamper as Rei handed her some of her clothes to wear for a while.
"Rei, I met someone today, he said he was my father from the Silver Millennium, he's dying because someone stole his jewel and he needs it to live like I need the silver crystal," Usagi said putting on the shirt.
"I know, his name is Naraku and he has purple hair and maroon eyes, the same eyes Chibi-Usa will have when she's born, I read it in the fire he was to come and see you, I do not know if he is your father or not Usagi," Rei said closing the drawer.
"I wanted to ask you if I should help him or not, he has the birthmark of all royalty from the moon has and he has a jewel like I do, I want to help him but I'm not sure, even if he wasn't my father and was dying I would help him but if he lied I'm not sure if he's telling the truth on the other things," Usagi said putting on the pants before sitting in a chair.
Rei studied her friend for a moment, she had changed so much over the years, Rei's constant insults were finally beginning to show, the young princess was finally becoming the princess they had wanted. Usagi sat in a chair and began thumbing through a magazine unaware of Rei's studying eyes, she groaned as a familiar sound filled the room making Rei giggle.
"If you were hungry Usagi, you could've said something, c'mon, we got some left over pizza in the fridge," Rei said merrily getting up with Usagi.
The two left the room, Usagi stomach growling happily at the thought of food as Rei led the way, her own stomach making small noises of happiness as they neared the kitchen. A low growling was heard and Rei stopped turning to Usagi who was looking around wondering where the sound had come from.
"Usagi, keep your stomach under control, god, I think grandpa heard that one," Rei said as the light came on in her grandfather's room.
"That wasn't me Rei," Usagi said somewhat stunned as she looked out into the rain, she saw Naraku being held in the air by his throat by a creature.
"Naraku," Usagi shouted running out and catching the creature's attention, it dropped him and began for Usagi, starting with a slow jog and moving into a sprint.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" Rei shouted sending a fire arrow directly in the creature's eye, the creature differently wasn't a youma, it quickly recovered and began for Usagi as she transformed.
"Starlight Honey-moon Therapy Kiss!" Usagi shouted and the attack didn't phase the creature as it reached Usagi with a smirk.
"Usagi, move!" Rei shouted as she released an attack, she jumped out of the way and watched as the creature was engulfed in flames landing next to Rei.
"Rei, my powers don't work against it," Usagi said with tears in her eyes looking up at Rei to find her eyes had slightly dampened too.
"Try it again Usagi," Rei said strongly as the creature advanced slowly.
"Starlight Honey-moon Therapy Kiss," Usagi shouted to get no reaction from her weapon, she grasped as the creature slowly began to pick up speed again.
It jumped in the air aiming for her, she was too shocked to move and staring wide eyed as the creature came closer in closer when she felt warm hands move her. She turned around to see Rei taking the hit, tears flooded from her eyes as the moonlight shone brightly through the clouds as her cry rang throughout the city halting everything.
Anger entered Usagi's eyes as she stood, the creature stood over Rei as her most loyal senshi stayed down too tired to move as hope began to leave her fragile body.
She held up her weapon again and began for the creature wanting some revenge for her friend, if she couldn't get it to work that way it could at least do a bit of damage another way. She swung it aiming for the creature's head as the rod grew into a staff; she hit the creature hard in the head making it stumble back a bit. It growled as she moved in front of Rei with the staff ready for another swing, it began toward them again when she held it upright, her hair began to flutter around her as the ground shook.
"Moonlight ribbon attack!" she shouted releasing a furious set of white ribbons from the end, four held each limb of the creature as one headed straight for its heart, it went through completely before recoiling back into the rod.
Usagi turned back to Rei as the creature fell dead upon the ground to find Rei staring up at her with tears in her purple eyes. "My princess, you have become more than I have ever hoped for, I have to confess I didn't have much faith in you in the beginning but you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong so many times, princess. I am honored to have fought by your side and I am honor to have protected such a divine goddess over the years but I have but one thing to request before we must part, let me protect you for one more adventure," Rei said sitting up.
Usagi held her hand helping her friend up, Rei had figured Usagi would go help Naraku whether he was her father or not because that was the way Usagi was. Usagi supported Rei happily leading her back to her room as Naraku followed with no serious injuries; Rei was placed on her bed as Usagi gave her best effort to help her.
"A demon sent by the ones who want me dead, please, come help me," Naraku said as Usagi de-transformed.
"I will help you, whether you're my father or not," Usagi said moving a few stray hairs from her face.
"And I shall go to protect you every step along the way Usagi," Rei said sitting up with a bit of difficulty.
Usagi hurried down the street to the temple, Rei was going to be so mad at her for being late but at least she could make an attempt to use the rain as an excuse, she smiled as she saw steps ahead and ran up them without stopping.
