Hey everyone, heres a new update. I'm quite busy at the moment so the next update may not be for a few days, but don't fret it will be posted. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has reviewed or favourite this story. It really means a lot to me. I'm sorry for the spelling mistakes but I haven't had a great deal of time to edit, so you'll just have to make do. Anyway enjoy the latest chapter.
I do not own sailor moon or it's characters.
"Usako!" Mamoru gasped as Usagi fell forward into his arms, passed out. Mamoru caught her and held her close to his chest, not wanting to let her go for fear of losing her.
"We have to lie her down. Mamoru take her upstairs to her bedroom please." Pluto ordered and Mamoru nodded and began to carry her upstairs. "And you too Saturn."
Saturn looked up at Pluto her eyes wide and curious. "You don't want me down here do you." She stated.
"No." Pluto answered honestly. "This is not something I want you to see."
Saturn was about to protest but thought better not to, this was not the time for such trivial things like fighting. Once Saturn was out of sight Pluto continued talking.
"We need to clean up before Usagi wakes up. We can't afford her to see this again."
An unconfutable silence filled the room, nobody wanted to be the first one to break it.
"Should we really though?" Mars asked hesitantly, instantly regretting what she had said when she saw all eyes on her.
"Do you want her to wake up to this again?' Neptune said harshly, as she gestured to the room next to them. "Do you want to see her like that again?"
"Of course not! Why would you even think that?" Mars yelled at Neptune. "This is a crime scene, we don't know that it was a monster or anything that did this. It appears to be a breaking in or something. If we touch anything then we could be compromising evidence."
"I think we can rule out a break in." Haruka said appearing from the sitting room, clutching a folded piece of paper in her hands, not longer transformed. "I just found this near Usagi's dad."
Everyone shifted at the mention of Usagi's father.
"What is it Haruka?" Mercury asked, eyeing off the paper suspiciously.
"A note, for Usagi." Answered Haruka quietly as she handed the note to Mercury, who opened it and read it aloud.
Dear Tsukino UsagiOr should I be adressing you as Sailor Moon or Princess Serenity. It must be confusing to not know who you really are. Are you truly Usagi, or merely a cheap immination of a princess who once lived and loved? Either way, I believe congradulations are in order. You defeated Chaos. That's not an easy feat. But was it worth all you lost? Anyway you see, whilst you were out fighting Chaos I was brewing up a plan of my own, a sure fire way to break whatever little spirit you have left. Everyone you love is at risk, your family is proof of that. They didn't believe for one second that you were Sailor Moon, they swore on their lives, excuss the pun, that you were just their plain old clusmy, lazy daughter. It wasn't until I showed them my memories that they believe that you were Sailor Moon. They died knowing that the daughter they had loved and sheltered had lied to them for all these years. Our little game has just begun 'princess' and as I said before all you love are at risk. I will be in contact again soon. Say hello to that prince of yours for me.
Yours sinclerly, an old friend
"That sick bastard." Haruka growled and clenched her fist.
"An 'old friend', who do you think it could be. Every ememy Sailor Moon has fought she has destoryed." Neptune wondered aloud, unable to keep her thoughts to herself.
"Does it matter? Whoever this sicko is they are after Usagi, we have to protect her." Jupiter said thorugh clenched teeth. Usagi doesn't need this now. She just finsihed off Chaos. Jupiter though saddened by the thought.
Ami shook her head sadly. "We can't protecct her if we don't know what to look for."
"I agree with Ami." Neputune said and Pluto noded in agreement. "Is there any way you can get fingerprints off that Mercury?"
Mercury thought about it for a moment then nodded. "It may take a minute, but I'll try."
While Mercury was trying to ger more information Mars walked away from the group and stood against the wall with her eyes closed trying to get her head around all that's happened. She doesn't deserve this. No one does. Mars thought sadlu to herself as she remembered the look on Usagi's face as she lay beside for younger brother.
"Mars? Rei?"
Mars was shocked out of her thoughts when she heard Pluto calling her name, opening her eyes she looked up and saw the gaurdian of time standing in front of her.
"Sorry did you say something?"
"I asked if you were okay?" Pluto asked, looking at her worn out friend.
Taking a deep breath Mars answred truthfully. "I'm worried for her Pluto. She strong, but I don't think she's survive this. I think that this will break her spirit."
Pluto gave a sad sigh at Mars words. There was truth in them, there was no dbout about it, however what their princess needed now was friends who surported her, not dbouted her.
"Usagi's spirit is amazing. I believe that she will endure this like the many other trails she has faced." Pluto said and motioned for Mars to come back and join the group.
Mercury saw Pluto and Mars approach and couldn't help but feel ashamed that she didn't have better news.
"I couldn't get anything from the note." She said sadly as she too revereted back to her civilan clothing. "Who ever left it was very carful. I'm so sorry everyone."
Venus put her arm aorund Ami's shoulder trying to comfort her. "It's okay you did the best you could, Usagi will understand. Anyway." Venus continued taking her arm off Ami and walking over to the sitting room doors. "Usagi will be awake soon, and seeing as we know that this is no normal mur-" Venus had to stop half way through to stop from crying. Never have the victims been this close to her before. "No normal murder we should clean up. Usagi doesn't need to see this again."
Everyone nodded and drew a deep breath ready for what was about to face them.
Usagi felt as though she'd been draged a mile. She felt weak and just wanted to make the pain go away. I don't want to wake up. I can't face that again. I can't. She thought to herself as the image of her families bodies once again came to het mind agaisnt her will. Unable to stop hereself she let out a sob.
"Usako?"
"Usagi?"
Usagi instantly recongized the two voices and would of liked nothing better then for them to just disappear. As soon as the though crossed her mind, however breif, she instantly regretted it. Only hours ago they were dead. I can't protect anyone. Another cry escaped her lips try as she might to stop it.
"Usako please open your eyes and look at me." Mamoru said, his voice calm, yet saddened. Usagi opened her eyes and found herself staring up at two pairs of worried eyes.
"How are you Usagi?" Hotaru asked, and then insatntly regretted it once she saw the angered look on Usagi's face.
"How can you even ask such a question." Usagi said pulling herself up into a seating position. "Do you think I can say 'yeah I'm fine nothing gets me down.' I can't even…why…leave." Usagi said through clenched teeth, her eyes clenched shut so no more tears would come out.
Mamoru was shocked at Usagi's outbust, never had he'd seen so much anger in her eyes, and while it was understandable, it scared him.
"Leave? You want me to leave?" Hotaru said sadly, her eyes cast down ashamed to have angered her princess. "If you want that princess."
"This isn't a princess thing. This is just me Usagi, telling you to get out."
Usagi yelled sureprising her friend and lover. "Both of you." She finished.
Hotaur sacred by Usagi's outburst ran out of the room and downstairs.
"You shouldn't have yelled at her." Mamoru said shocked at Usagi choice of words. "She's just a child, she doesn't know better."
Usagi looked at the door and felt extremely guilty for what she said. She needed to be alone, but she didn't want to hurt her friends.
"Please leave." She said in a gentler, more controled tone to Mamoru. She didn't look him in the eye, casue she knew if she did she would lose her reslove and break down right now.
"No." Mamoru said firmly. She needed him, he could see that even if she couldn't. "I can't leave you like this Usako. I know your hurting but don't try and hide your pain. We want to be there for you."
"Leave now. Or I will." Usagi said once more with slightly more force.
When she saw that Mamoru wasn't moving she made good on her threat and began to get out of bed.
"Where are you going? Your in no condition to move around." Mamoru tried to reason with Usagi, who was off her bed and now and heading towards the door.
"I'm fine. I have to go cle-" Usagi stoped midsentance and had to stop herself from crying, she couldn't think about that right now. She had to make things right. "I have to go and make things right." She finished. Mamoru grabed her arm as she went to walk away. He could see that she was hurting and just wished she would let him help.
"Usako please listen to me. If you go down there you're only going to upset yourself. Let me and the girls clean up."
"Dammit no!" Usagi yelled and broke free from Mamoru's grip. "That's my family Mamoru. My family. I owe it to them to go down and do it myself."
With that said Usagi ran down the stairs to do what she said.
When she arrived at the room she gasped as she noticed that the room looked clean. She still noticed blood stains on the carpet and tiles, but it was a big improvement. Walking into the room she felt as though she was about the be sick, though the bodies had been moved she still remembered where they were before and how they look. The image would be forever burned into her memory. Feeling as though she may fall down at amy moment Usagi sat on the couch, and began to feel that at any moment her world would collapse around her again.
My fault. I caused this. This morning I didn't even say goodbye to mama before I left. I never said good bye to any of them. Unbeknown to her as she sat on the couch thinking about past events 9 pairs of worried eyes watched her.
So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Review it.
Till next time.
