Chapter 4

Miaka watched Tamahome wrap her leg as if he knew what he was doing. she was just happy he was even touching her and addressing her wounds. she didn't know what to think on how she feels for him this was the first time feeling like this. she wanted to have this feeling last forever. but that then again she was just happy at least she was able to feel this.

"I still think that you might love her…" murmured Miaka

She watched him finishing the bandages. She almost let out a disappointed cry when the warmth of his touch left her skin. Tamahome looked at her seriously before going to another railing and leaned on it as if deep in thought. as if he was thinking on something hard sometimes she wished she knew how to use the mind reading spells that usagi and some of the others knew.

"How can I love her, when I love something else?" asked Tamahome

At that moment, Tamahome had Miaka's undivided attention. Could he be saying what she think he was saying? oh how she hoped it was what he was sayning Gulping, Miaka urged for him to go on, and hoped with everything that it was going to be something that she wanted to hear him say so badly. but she knew her hopes will be crushed like always it was just her that it always happens to.

"What is it?" asked miaka

Miaka's voice was filled with so much hope but all of it was shattered when he had to be the jackass he was. while the kai's where watching this from their place wit king kai. and usagi was watching from her perch in her tree. and while muramasa was watching from his spot on the roof. nuriko and hotohori was watching from where they are.

"I love money of course! Just thinking about how rich and successful I could be...Oh, the idea is just so much more enticing than love at the moment." chiped Tamahome

Miaka felt like she could fall over or as if cold water was dropped on her to wake her up from the dream she was having. He continued with an arrogant tone while usagi looked over her book to see what jackassary he was doing now . muramasa knew this was not going to go over so well. and he was going to spoir out something so stupid.

"I must admit that finding love is not an issue. Of course with my irresistible charms, good-looks and brains, nice firm rounded ass that you be icthcing to grab! and im like hung like a horse. so who wouldn't fall for good 'ole me?!" said Tamahome

usgai and muramasa nearly fell out of their spots when they heard what he had just said out load. while they had a feeling that he was not down yet. hotohori went back to the office he was not amused by none of this. the man was stupid to a point and will get his ass kicked once the others get here. nuriko was shaking her head at what was just said.

"i just want to be rubbed by you. just you and nobody else buy you." sang tamahome

tamahome was shaking his ass while he was singing. and when he was done he pointed to his ass even he rubbed his ass while singing. usagi was laughing her ass off on that one. that was cleaver when it came down to it. while muramasa left after that one. he needed a stiff drink and wondered if the man would grow a brain or something. as tamahome started to laugh like a mad man.

"Grrr! You're completely hopeless, you know that?" growled Miaka

"Bwahahahahahahahahaha!" laughed Tamahome

"Will you stop that? It's freaking me out!" cried Miaka

""Bwahahahahahahahaha!" laughed Tamahome

"Oh, you stupid maniac!" growled Miaka

Nuriko still watched from her view point. while Tamahome still laughed evilly and Miaka freaked out thinking he finally lost his mind. she was pointing at him with a shaky finger. tamahome was creeping her the hell out. while usagi sighed and left after that she was bored from watching the two of them. plus she was going to go and explore.

Meanwhile later that night

usagi walked through the hall's enjoying the fresh night air. muramasa was enjoying the night life of the town since they have some little festival going on and he wanted to go and see what it was like to join something like this in this place. usgai found Nuriko overlooking the ponds with a sad look. Curious as ever usagi neared her to see what was bothering her not as if she cared or anything she was still pretty pissed off at her.

"Nuriko, what's wrong?" asked usagi

Nuriko did not turn to face her. she was thinking if this was the correct thing that she was planning to do, she already goofed up with her hatred trowards the priestess of suzaku. and she was happy that usagi was the one who found her. plus she kinda planned to have miaka to come and see her like this. but this is better than anything. plus she was going to regret this move as well since it was going to piss off the emperor and the sword spirit.

"I was walking on the west side pavilion earlier and when I came back here, all of a sudden, I discovered that I had lost the mate to this Night Glow gem." said Nuriko

Nuriko presented her a beautiful earring and sighed dramatically. it is as if she rehersed this before anytone came up to her. usagi marveled at the jewel's simple beauty, she had something that looked like that. then again her father gotten off some other planet plus she had this feelin that she was being played. but she will call her out on it later. she needed to get this bitch on her cousin side soon..

"It is. It's an heirloom my mother gave me before I left to join the imperial consorts. It's my favorite pair but…It shines at night that why it's a good time to look for it now but my maids are too scared to venture in the west side pavilion at night and I have no one else to help me." explained Nuriko

usagu suddenly felt suspicious, she has a feeling that she was being play. but she wouldn't voice it out in the against her better judgement she agreed to go find it nonetheless. this was for her cousin and she was going to do this and kill her pride so she was able to have a friend like nuriko. but she didnt trust the woman she was hiding something and when it comes out it was going to be something that they never ever expected.

"All right, I'll look for it. But in return you must promise to pledge your allegiance to Miaka and stop bugging Tamahome. All that girl wants is to be your friend, you know. At least give her a chance." demanded usagi

Nuriko was surprised, to say the least. At the woman's grateful nod, she loved this woman and is feeling bad for what she was doing. but she wanted to make sure that miaka was going to know what she is dealing with when i came to being her. usagi walked away to search for that gem. and also enjoy the night as she wanted to do before she bumped into the pain in the ass.

Meanwhile with usagi

usagi walked through the tall grass and damp soil that was all squishy and icky when you hear yourself walked in it, cursing the fact that she had worn one of her favorite outfits and shoes tonight. she sighed she was going to kick nuriko ass for this one. she hated going into places like this it was just gross to a point and not something that she never ever wanted to walk in. plus it is freaking creepy walking through here.

"Of all the places to venture for a stroll in the fucking moon light for the love of the moon. couldn't she have picked another place to do her walk? With my luck, she just lied about losing her precious earring." thought usagi

Then it hit her she finally figured out that she was played and now she had to figure to kick her ass for the nice walk in the gross mud for dende sakes. Just as she realized that she had been tricked, usagi slipped on a wet rock and went straight into the pond. usagi struggled to swim up but, as usual, the gods will have none of that. Her feet were tangled with some extremely strong' pond weed

"oh real great what am i going to tell the kai's. oh some bitch tricked me or my and i drowned. oh my father would never let he go on this one." thought usagi

usagu tried to remove the pond weed strangling her feet but the cold temperature of the water and the building pressure in her lungs were making her vision blur. so she was annoyed and shot a freaking cero. as she started swiiming up to the surface while plotting a way to get the bitch back. she felt a hand pull her up and saw it was muramasa. she was grateful to have him around sometimes.

Meanwhile a hour later

Nuriko was sitting in her room while her fellow maids where talking to her about what she had just done to usagi the love of her life. and the woman who basically waited for since she was a child.. only two of them felt bad for her in the whole room even though nuriko wanted to make a point to miaka and thats it. even the emeror as well but she knew that was not going to go over to well on that part.

"The girl is a plain fool," said Nuriko

Nuriko looked in the mirror while brushing her hair. Her maids in the room were laughing with her. They were all against the appearance of the two priestess and the quenn. But Nuriko loved the the queen since she was a child and concidered the emperor a riival in love for usagi since she was his wife now. but they knew there will not be a happy person that was going to see when she gets back. and hoped that they are the sword spirit was not going to find out.

"I agree. Who would ever take a walk in that part of the palace? That place is pathetic. No one goes there nowadays. Besides, if it's dangerous in the day then what difference does it make in the night?"

"And why, of all places, would I go there? I barely even leave the hallways of this palace. And to think that I would be such an idiot to lose anything of mine," said Nuriko.

Nuriko sensed this and did not reply. She hated the priestess of suzaku and the emperor since one of them she knew was indeed in love with usagi and married her. even though they are meant to be since she was even bord. but that was not for her to even care about. and the other was just her cousin so they are blood related. they where making her to turn away from her affection and love for usagi and only usagi.

"What did you do to usagi? Where is she?" hissed Tamahome

Tamahome. He was leaning on the doorframe of Nuriko's room with one hand gripping it fiercely. He was there long enough to know that they have done something to the girl. He would never forgive someone who hurt his friends. Nuriko was surprised at his appearance. She wasn't able to sense him there until now, but his questions made it clear that he was there for quite some time already.

"Tamahome." whispered Nuriko

"Where is usagi?" asked Tamahome

Tamahome voice sounded menacing and made all the other girls in the room cower and leave in fear from what tamahome was looking like. Nuriko stood her ground and refused to give him a straight answer. but he was pissed off since usagi was one of his dearest friends. and someone who is obsessed with. but he will never ever announce that out load. but that was a thought for a ntoher time.

"why should you care you oonly wat to fuck her." said Nuriko

It took a lot out of Tamahome not to strangle her for answers at the moment. he wanted to know where his friend was. yes maybe he did want to do that with usagi and was obsessed with her. but then again he felt something more akin to love for miaka. but he knew there was something there between him and miaka, but he was not really ready to even act out of what he was feeling since it was confusing him.

"I will not ask again," hissed Tamahome

Tamahome's voice held a dangerous threat but Nuriko seemed oblivious to it and stood up to face him to see if she was able to make him back down. but then again she didnt know what to do in this kind of thing. if muramasa was here he would be stranglign her for what she had done to his mistress, hell the emperor would have her head for what she had done to his wife. he loves her that sort of love that lasted through time and through past lives.

"It's none of your business! What do you and the Emperor and the miaka. i have waited for a long time for her to appear and now she has no one will takr that away from me. the shikon miko will be mine." shouted nuriko

nuriko couldn't help herself. She needed to know why, and she needed to know now. Nuriko has held feelings for usagi since she was a child hearing the grand stories about the moon princess who is now the queen. but then again the stories left out her time through out time and what she suffered when she was travels she wished she knew her life and her secrets., and let her be there for her when she down and sad. and take her pain raced through Nuriko's head that she barely noticed someone else with them.

"Figures that as much dearie. your not the only one who has confessed that." said usagi

A very wet usagi was now in the room with a bored expression on her was right behind her but she waved him to go back to do what he wanted that she will be ok. Tamahome turned to look at her and Tamahome was more than relieved when her attitude was still intact, he rushed over to her and hugged her to him to show her that he was happy to see that she was ok and gave her his shirt so she would remaind warm.

"usagi, thank goodness you're safe." said Tamahome

usagi neared the still shocked yet indignant Nuriko who wanted to hold her in her arms. but in her shock she was going to be doing something stupid. Not knowing what to say now that the girl heard her, Nuriko settled for bitter words, she was deeply pissed off that the one she loved had heard her confess in such a mannor. and she knew that usagi was not going to take this sitting down.

"What do you want? An apology? Well you're not getting one." hissed Nuriko

Nuriko will not lose what little dignity she has left to this female before her. She crossed her arms defiantly and tried to stare usagi down. who had been stared down by beings far more dangerous and evil than what nuriko is trying to do. plus her father was the king of thestare. she didn't care that she love the girl but she will not be taken down a notch. usagi still had that bored expression on her face which riled Nuriko up even more.

"Are you trying to insult me with your defiance, girl?" hissed Nuriko

Nuriko slapped usagi across the face. Tamahome was about to something when usagi slapped Nuriko back with much more force and mixed with some of her powers in it she was not going to let some amiture to take her down. she was the qieen of the earth and moon. plus she was sailor cosmos and king vegeta daughter. so no one will take her down like this with and not with a little slap either.

"Pathetic little bitch that you are." hissed usagi

Nuriko faced her anger filled her whole body at the insult and sadly turned on by usagi slapping her like she did. . usagi took the liberty of elaborating her statement and why she had insulted her. she knew that when usagi came back she was going to be very pissed off and she was correct. while tamahome was turned on by what usagi was doing. she was hot as hell when she was angry.

"I thought you were raised better than that. If you have your so-called feelings for me then you aren't doing a very good job of showing it. sadly the jackass dark lord was better at showing it and he was a evil fucktard. and plus i dont swing that way no way no how dearie. in not gay not for me. From what I see, you know nothing about loving a person." said usagi

Trembling with rage, Nuriko wanted to know what she meant by that statement. she didnt understand what usagi was trying to teach her or try to make her understand. she didnt even know what usagi had gone through and knew what love it. but that is not for her to know yet. since usagi was not going to show her until she was able to trust her enough.

"What would you know? You're just a girl! You don't even care if anyone shows their interest in you. hell tamahome over there jacks off to you. You're the one who is selfish! You take anyones attention for granted." growled nuriko

usagi sighed she was getting far to old for this crap. and this bitch claimed to know her story but then again she had noticed there was bits and pieces out about her life in that point in time. she wanted to have her know what she knows and had to deal with since she was able to show. but she will not show her everything. she needed to learn that she was not the only one in the world.

"That's what's bothering you? Get a grip! You resort to petty things just because the female you supposedly love does not pay attention to you. Is that your definition of 'love'? Do you call trying to trick and drown the person who you think is besting you in his affections, 'love'?" asked usagi

Tamahome was pouting in a emo corner since someone saw him in his private time jackingoff to usagi really he never noticed that nuriko was watching him. he was just so shameful. Nuriko remained silent and usagi could see that she was thinking about what she said. She could see Nuriko felt utterly stupid and guilty. Taking pity on her, usagi softened her eyes and took Nuriko's hand. Nuriko gave her a questioning look but she ignored it and placed something on the woman's palm before closing it slightly. Nuriko opened her hand to see a beautiful stone with pink, white and gentle blue colors swirling and blending with each other. Nuriko looked at the queen with wide eyes.

"I realized you lied and played me before i left im not that stupid. and left me to drown but if i did drown it would only send me to the kai's and send me back., but when I got out of the water and laid in the mud for a while to catch my breath. I saw this and transfigured it into a bracelet. and that you would still cooperate with Miaka if you had it. Treat me as your enemy if you must but Miaka really needs you to help. and im like over 1000 some odd years old and i lived a long long time. so i understand quite a bit. " said usagi

Just as those words left her mouth, Nuriko ambushed her with a hug and a sob. usagi smiled and hugged her new friend back. Tamahome let out a relieved sigh, shook his head, and decided to give them a little privacy. usagi smiled and knew this is what nuriko needed. and she just hoped she would change after this and treat miaka with some sort of respect if not then it will get rather ugly.

Meanwhile a little while later

usagi walked through the hallways wearing a dry, grayish black silk robe to keep her warm. She had taken a quick shower and changed her clothes before heading straight for her and Hotohori's room. It took everything in her not to fall and lie down on the floor and sleep. She was so tired from the stress of the stopped just outside his door and went over the things she was going to tell him. he was her one mate she didnt even know where the hell the other was gathered what little control she had over her body and tried to focus and stay awake. She knocked on the door twice.

"Enter." said hotohori

She stepped in and tried not to tumble her way towards Hotohori to see him looking as good looking as ever. he looked at her with sparkling eyes as if he was lost in her looks. he knew that she was overly tired and wanted to give nuriko a lecture for what she had been doing to his usako. and that is unforgivable since she is the empress and making her do stuff such as this type of work.

"my usako, you look so tired, what is going on?" asked Hotohori

"Long story short. lets just say nuriko." said usagi

usagi flinched the evil woman have been fallowing her all around she had to get tamahome to drag her off somewhere so she was able to be dried off. well after she smacked him in the head for having sick thoughts about her. hotohori sighed he had a feeling that what is was about. and that was something that is pissing him off. hell he felt muramasa anger from what he had felt.

"Is that so? What seems to be the queen?" asked Hotohori

"Look, I'll be very blunt about this. she being a pain in my ass and has this sick obsession about me. i even had to get tamahome to drag her off as well. and sadly he has one about me as well.": asked usagi

usagi searched his eyes to try and see if he'll do it but he was unreadable. Hotohori stared at his wife who was sitting next to him and contemplated what she said. like hell no one was going to take her from him He was thinking of a way to grant his wife. but he knew her anger when he goes against what she wanted him to do and not to do.

"well my usako i would love to give her a talkin to, but i know your anger." said Hotohori

hotohori looked down and saw his wife was fast asleep. he only smiled and oved her to lay on the pillow. as he covered the both of them over. he knew that she was tired as hell but then again he was shocked that she didnt pass out in the hall. he kissed her cheek and make sure she was comfortable and then wrapped his arms around ehr waist as he fell asleep something he himself needed as well.

meanwhile fallowing morning

Hotohori woke up to find that he was alone, his usako was nowhere to be found.. Rising from his position, he looked around his room and found no traces of his wife. He stood up, got dressed and walked out of his room. Hotohori found Miaka as she bumped into Tamahome. He seemed upset for some reason and acted cold towards her. Nuriko popped up and was clearly infuriated with the girl. Tamahome walked away from the miaka with Nuriko clinging to him. Hotohori will never understand their little antics. Shaking his head, he went towards his study to see what he had to do for the day. passing the royal gardens he decided to go and take a peak out there something in him told to do it. he saw wife on her stomach reading a book. he went over and observe what she was doing.

"How long do you plan staring, my dear?" asked usagi

usagi lifted her eyes from the book she was reading to look at her husband with amusement in her gem like eyes. he only shook his head he couldnt help but not watch her she was a picture of beauty. and she was all his. well his and diamond when they find out where ever he had been reincarnated. but he had a feeling his reincarnation would be funny since it would be something that you would not expect.

"I was merely wondering when you would come back to reality. What are you doing?" asked hotohori

usagi giggled and showed him a book that she was readig. well the one that she grabbed before she got sucked up in this world with her cousin. plus she had a few others with her as well she had gotten. plus she knew muramasa had taken a liking to the library here. one this they did share in common that they loved the joyed of reading. but that is something that only a few of her friends and family shared.

"i was trying to find a peaceful place to hide from nuriko. and muramasa showed me this place so. and i didnt want to wake you up even though you look completely adorable sleeping." said usagi

usagi patted the spot next to her. he only obliged and she snuggled up to him. Hotohori looked at her and did not move. It started raining now. Thunder and lightning filled the sky he picked her up in his arms and made sure she had her things and took off to their office. he handed her somethiing to keep her warm since she was wet..hotohori groaned when someone barged in on them.

"YOUR HIGHNESSES! LADY MIAKA IS ILL!"

usagi was gone in a flash ready to kill tamahome for something she knew what he had done. the person who saw her was gone as well knowing that this might be something to see. while muramasa seemed to have felt his mistress anger and knew that somone was going to get their ass kicked by usagi. hotohori seemed to have caught on and knew that tamahome must have done something to piss off his wife.

to be continued.
