Hey guys!
Finally I had the time to finish this chapter!
Actually, it was supposed to be longer, but I don't think the next happenings would fit this one, so I left them to chapter 7.
So… I hope you guys will like it. I know it's, like, a month later, but I guess I've done worse. Lol
Once again reminding you English isn't my first language so I hope my mistakes won't be that bad.

Kisses!

Chapter 6

The car was silent all during the ride. Even the elevator made more sounds than the two people who rode in it. When the couple made it to the apartment, Usagi rushed to his room without so much as a glance at him and closed the door.

Mamoru watched the girl run away and sighed exasperated. He couldn't understand why she would hide whatever it was from him. Hadn't he proven her she could trust him after all this time? He sighed frustrated walking to the kitchen to fix himself a cup of coffee. Just as he was about to start, Mamoru set the pot down and walked decisively towards the bedroom.

Just as he was about to open the door, the sounds of Usagi crying hit his ears and the young man felt his heart clench in his chest. Yes, he was mad at her. But never would he even remotely like to hear her cry. This time, however, he wanted to prove a point so he made himself strong to walk in the room and not fall by her side, apologize and comfort her. So, taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door and, without waiting for an answer, opened it.

Usagi sobbed desperately while taking her pajamas off of the closet and didn't hear the door opening or see the closet's door closing on her. Just as it was about to hit her back, Mamoru held it open again.

"You should be a little more careful. The door almost knocked you inside the closet." When she heard his voice she tensed up automatically. Usagi cleared her face of the tears as well as she could with the back of her hands and turned to him.

"I guess I was a little preoccupied" 'crying my eyes out because of you' she thought sardonically.

He looked down not being able to look her in the eyes. He knew it would be difficult seeing her like this, but knowing it was because of him made it a whole lot more difficult then he had expected. "I… Maybe we should talk" Mamoru said and turned to open his part of the closet to get his sleeping clothes.

Her eyes followed him and admired his every move. How he bent his knees to open a lower drawer; or how he didn't even need to be on tiptoes to reach one of the higher shelves. Every little thing about him seemed to amaze her, and even feeling hurt by him, the love she felt filled her heart. "Yeah… Maybe we should. But I don't think I have much more to say. Not yet."

"I love you." He said suddenly finally looking up at her. "And I just thought you trusted me." He sighed frustrated.

Usagi closed the distance between them and touched his hands lightly. "That's what you don't understand, or don't want to. I TRUST you. Whatever this is has absolutely nothing to do with you. It's my problem to fix, and when I do, you'll be the first one to know." She smiled sadly.

Mamoru looked in her eyes feeling nowhere near satisfied with her answer. "I don't think I'll ever understand you hiding something from me. Something that is affecting our relationship."

She looked at him bewildered. "The only thing that is affected by this is our lack of sexual life. And that's why you're so pissed off!" She turned away from him shaking her head.

Mamoru heard her and couldn't believe his ears. He walked up to her and, by holding her arm, made her turn to him. "You really believe what you just said? That's ridiculous! You know me too well to know that I would never be mad about that! We've been together for four years and never once I said anything, or tried anything I knew you wouldn't want. I respect you too much for that."

"Well, I'm asking you to trust me on this and all you can do is attack me on my 'lack of trust on you'! And if something is affecting us is your need of knowing everything!" She freed her arm and walked out to the bathroom, slamming the door in the process. Mamoru walked out of the room just as angry and slammed the door of the other bathroom.

Neither one noticed the golden glow in their foreheads that persisted there even through their sleep.


All anyone could see in the darkness of the room was the fast movement of her dark hair as she woke up suddenly. She kept gasping for air as the contents of her dream finally fell into place in her mind and she realized what all that meant.

The only thing Rei could say was "Oh Shit."

All around town other 9 people woke up to similar dreams and similar reactions. There were going to be some questions to be answered in the morning. From those nine, five couldn't go back to sleep and sat around their living room in silence.

Jedite was the first one to speak, even though his eyes showed how much he didn't know what to say. "So, that's what I get for letting myself be brainwashed: being reborn as your brother. Wasn't it enough to be around each other all the time back then?" He smirked making the joke clear.

"You're joking around with this already! Your ability of not taking things seriously still astounds me." Nephrite stated shaking his head in a negative.

Zoicite looked up suddenly with wide eyes. "Do you think they remember everything? The Sailor Senshi exist in this life, but... are they the same they were then?"

"The Prince sure looks the same. And so does the Princess. And they ARE together, so that says something." Kunzite mentioned getting up to lean by the kitchen's doorway. "I'm more worried about having stayed away from our duty for so long. We could have helped them a lot."

Jedite also got up and stretched out. "You know what? I think we should go to sleep for now and try and get in touch with them tomorrow morning. We won't be able to fix anything at this time and as confused as we are right now."

"For once I agree with Jed. Let's try and sleep because tomorrow is going to be a tough day." Zoicite made his way to his room and bid them good night. Soon they were all lying down on their beds. Not once sleep claimed them for the rest of the night.


BIP

BIP

BIP

BI-

"What?" Usagi answered the communicator in a very angry manner. After all, being woken up by an annoying bip after having a very confusing night remembering past lives adventures wasn't a nice way to wake up, was it?

"I'm going to Mamoru's now, we really need to talk." Rei's face was serious like Usagi hadn't seen in about two years. "Call the other girls and tell them to go too. And get your ass out of that bed. I don't want to have to wake you back up when I get there!" The blond mumbled a 'Fine' as her friend disconnected and got up to go to the bathroom.

After doing everything she had to do and taking a bath to wake her up, Usagi stood in front of the mirror getting ready to blow-dry her hair when she noticed something different in her face.

"Oh My God. What is this doing here?" She exclaimed touching her forehead where the Moon Family's symbol seemed to be slowly – very slowly – fading away. To her utter panic, it was at that exact moment that her mother decided to go talk to her.

"Usa, sweetie, can I come in?" She asked knocking on the bathroom door.

"Humm, No! I'm… erm… getting dressed! Talk through it, I can hear you!" Usagi answered trying to concentrate to get the symbol to fade completely.

"Okay then. Your father, Shingo and I are going out to check on the house and start looking for new furniture. I asked Mamoru-san to help you study to your math test, so don't try to stall him!" Came her voice in warning.

"Alright mom, I won't! Bye Bye! Look for something cute, pink and white for my room!"

'Go, go, pleeeaaseee!! I need to talk to Mamo-chan' The blond kept looking in the mirror, getting even more desperate, to the point of rubbing her forehead in hopes of taking it out.

"Will do honey! Bye!" Ikuku left laughing at her daughters antics. Usagi went back to concentrating until she heard the faint goodbye from her father and the apartment door closing.


Usagi peaked off of the bedroom door carefully and made her way – ninja like- to the living room. In the middle of the hallway she saw the outside bathroom light on and went to check it out.

She knocked hesitantly "Mamo-chan".

He took a moment to answer "Are your parents gone Usa?" Mamoru's voice sounded low from behind the door.

"Yeah, they are. Can I come in? I kind of need to show you something." She heard him open the door slowly.

"Come on in. I need to show you something too." Usagi opened the door completely and saw her boyfriend standing in front of the sink, shirtless, washing his face. Instantly she walked to stand behind him and look at the mirror on the wall above the sink. The moon symbol was still glowing faintly in her forehead.

Mamoru lifted his upper body to look in the mirror himself and Usagi had to hold a scream. He turned to her slowly." I guess you're not the only one with a glowing forehead!" the young man touched his own forehead to feel the warmth of the shining, golden, flower-look-a-like symbol.

The girl finally closed her gaping mouth to open it again in a failed attempt to talk. She tried once more. "That's the Earth symbol! You had never showed it before. I didn't even remember it!" Usagi reached to touch the symbol lightly and it seemed to react to her proximity. She felt her own forehead warm up in retaliation and her eyes close, just as his did. Their minds were soon filed with the same images they had dreamt about, making them snap their eyes open with a start.

"Oh shit!" Mamoru swore in an almost moan when he figured what the images meant.

Usagi turned around to walk out of the bathroom slowly. "That's why Rei is coming over with the girls!"

Mamoru followed her out putting on a blue shirt. "What do you mean they are coming over? When was that decided?"

She went to the kitchen with Mamoru just behind her and grabbed a glass. "Yesterday, at the Arcade. But Rei called me earlier all desperate, saying that we had to meet now. So I suppose it has something to do with these memories!" She took the bottle of juice Mamoru offered her and poured some for her, handing a cup for him to pour his coffee into.

"It's probably because of that. But what caused this massive memory outburst?" He swallowed his coffee at once.

"I don't know! Bu this is probably the reason we have glowing foreheads now." She stated annoyed walking towards the couch. She sat on it and looked at Mamoru to see him stop suddenly, his eyes the size of baseballs.

"What if these memories aren't the reason? What if they were trigged by the appearance of these symbols? You know that your forehead glowing means that you are tapping into the crystal's power somehow. Maybe that caused your memories to surface. And since you are connected to the senshi, it might have triggered theirs too." He explained walking slowly around the coffee table in front of Usagi.

The girl watched him, letting the entire information sink in. After a moment, her own questions started to surface. "Okay. It makes total sense. I mean, I was very angry yesterday before going to sleep – still am by the way – and being angry activates my powers. But what about you? Your memories? Were they trigged by me too? Oh my God! Do you think the shittenou remembered as well? Because if my senshi remembered because of our connection, they could remember just as much! You're connected to them as well!" she looked at him expectantly.

"I don't think my memories had any relation to yours. I was mad too – still am by the way -" he added sarcastically "Maybe the golden crystal can be triggered the same way. You know it is still a mystery to me how to work with it." Mamoru made his way to the couch but just as he was about to sit, the doorbell rang.

"Oh God! What the hell happened to your forehead?" That was the first thing Minako said when Mamoru opened the door.

"Yeah well, come on in and we will figure this out." Mamoru almost growled, making way to the girls go inside the apartment.

Usagi got up to greet her friends and soon they were all sitting all around the living room to talk about the mess at hand.

"So… We all remember everything about the shittenou. But how?" Makoto asked with a sad smile on her face. They had already gone over the memories each of them remembered and now, were trying to understand what happened.

"I don't think that's the most important question, girls." Luna stated walking into the room with Artemis just behind her. "The big issue is: Do the shittenou remember? Because you would have remembered it all eventually." The cats sat on top of the coffee table to be well seen by everyone.

"What do you mean 'all of this?' You knew about our history with them then! You two knew we were in love when they killed us!" Rei whispered astonished.

Artemis then turned to the senshi of fire. "Yes, we did Rei. But we didn't have the right to tell you. You all had to remember yourselves."

Minako looked at him. "And you were just going to let us get close to them without knowing all of that!" The room was covered with silence. All of them knew Minako was talking about the last battle, how they all had been murdered by their respective lover.

Usagi approached the blond caressing her hair soothingly. "Mina, they were brainwashed! They didn't know what they were doing, or even, it wasn't really them Kunzite being here now is a second chance for the two of you. And that goes for all of you." All of them sighed, getting lost in their own thoughts, except for Ami who was drowned into typing in the mercury computer. Suddenly the senshi of ice lifted her head and the computer beeped loudly.

"Guys… They know." And this simple sentence created a havoc of 'what's and several curses. When they all calmed down, the senshi began explaining her foundings. "While you were talking, I programmed the computer to find and scan them and it came to the conclusion that there are two life lines connected to them. One coming from a little more than twenty years, their respective ages, and another coming from more then a thousand years ago. This last one wasn't appearing when I first scanned them, which means that it was activated recently." She elaborated showing them the graphics from the computer.

"Oh my! I never thought that being mad at you would bring all this mess forth!" Usagi exclaimed looking directly at Mamoru.

"WHAT?" The four senshi and two cats yelled, bulged eyes and all.

"Explanations, please." Makoto was able to blurt out while the others still looked agape at the couple.

Mamoru sweat dropped, hand behind his head. "We were talking about the symbols in our foreheads and the memories and came to the conclusion that they are connected. The Moon Kingdom symbol only appears on Usako's face when she's tapping into the crystal's power." The young man explained everything he and Usagi had talked about and that resulted on Ami typing desperately at the Mercury computer with her ears paying close attention to the grilling the girls were giving Usagi about her argument with the Prince of Earth.

Usagi finally sighed in annoyance "Okay, enough! Ami, did you find something in there?" All of them stopped talking in surprise and turned to their blue haired friend.

Ami looked up from the computer. "Mostly information confirming what you two said. And, yes, there is a connection, still faint but there, between Mamoru and the Shittenou."

They all looked at each other taking everything in. Their appearances had happened so fast! They had been normal teenagers for two years now, they were just getting used to it again. And suddenly the long, lost lovers/enemies of the senshi come into their lives bringing with them memories of past and recent past and chaos to their feelings.

"Now, the big question is: How do we approach them about this?" Rei voiced the one question in everyone's mind.

"I think you should do it, girls." And this came, surprisingly from Luna, who received several lifted eyebrows and questioning glances. "I'm saying this because you all will have to talk eventually and they might be more open to you, given your history."

"Don't you think Mamoru should be the one doing it?" Makoto asked still doubtful.

"Mamoru-san is their prince. As much connected as they are with him and, as much friends as they were back them, they might still feel intimidated and that will not be good for your interaction." Artemis gave the answer with a serious look in his eyes. The girls all nodded and looked to the couple who had done nothing but watch for the last minutes.

"So, what do you have to say?" Minako finally asked.

"Me?" Usagi and Mamoru answered together and rolled their as when they noticed it.

Usagi started. "I agree with Luna and Artemis. It will be a lot more personal for you girls to talk to them. And besides, you have to work your problems out anyway." She finished with a shrug.

"They loved you, respectively, very much, and I know it would mean the world to them if it were you who explained to them this whole mess." Mamoru completed with his knowledge of his former generals' feelings regarding the senshi.

"Oh Well. I'm gonna go home then. I have a lot to think about. I have no idea how to talk to Nephrite about all of this." Makoto got up and stretched her arms.

The other three also got up and started saying their goodbyes to the couple and cats, and soon enough only Mamoru and Usagi were left at the room, Luna and Artemis having claimed they needed to check on the shittenou themselves.

Just as Usagi was about to go to Mamoru's room, his voice stopped her. "So, ready to study some math?" Their eyes sized each other for moments until the girl finally sighed.

"It doesn't really matter how mad I am at you right? Then let's go." She said and went to fetch her book bag.
