Chapter 16
Shingo
"Shingo," Usagi cried, hand over her mouth. (for those of you who don't know, Shingo is Sammy, Usagi's little brother) Gohan sidled over to the silent Minako.
"Who is Shingo?" he asked in a low whisper. Rei had woken up a moment before, thanks to Bulma and some smelling salts, Hotaru, was waking up on her own, and Makoto was going to have her heal herself.
"YOU CHEAP SON'S OF BITCHES," Rei yelled at the two in the air, "HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" those nearest to her started to back away as she started to glow red, and little flames started to jump off of her, "YOU STOLE A TEN YEAR OLD BOY AWAY FROM HIS PARENTS TO USE HIM AS LEVERAGE AGAINST HIS SISTER!?!? WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS ARE YOU?" She transformed in an instant.
"That explains it," Gohan said, backing away from a now transformed Minako.
"The perfect kind," The dark haired one answered the pissed off guardian of fire, "we have no morals, we have no conscience, and we have no problem using innocent bystanders to get our way," he smiled.
"You forgot to mention that we enjoy black mail and causing pain," the one with white hair added. Vegeta had gone into a protective stance in front of Usagi when he two men had come through the hole, and he decided to add his own two cents in as well.
"As far as I have noticed, the perfect 'bad guys' are those who do not brag without cease," he paused with a sneer, "and those who do, are usually the perfect nit wits,"
"You might want to put a lid on the dwarfs mouth, Princess, or he will be dealt with, in a most painful way," the one with the white hair answered. As if on cue, the senshi all flew up and around Usagi. Hotaru was in front a little ahead of Vegeta.
"Jadeite, I'm a little disappointed in you." Hotaru started, "Usually you have rather unique ways of dealing with those who make you mad, to throw out a bottomless threat," she shook her head in disappointment, "That's so ordinary, you've been around Momaru to long. Next time I expect more flash," she had a small grin on her face. Momaru was turning red in annoyance, but Jadeite just smiled.
"Like the flash of pain that went through you with every slash of that chord? or the pain you felt from that knife?" He knew exactly what he was doing. She turned as white as a sheet and Minako went forward and put an arm around her shoulder.
"All that did was show us what an animal you truly are Jadeite, and it made me realize that you were never truly good," Minako told him quietly.
"ah, Venus, you lived up to the reputation of your planet,"
"shut up," she whispered.
"a true love Goddess,"
"shut up," she said a little louder, tears coming to her eyes.
"Soft and supple, made fo-"
"SHUT UP," she screamed, hands over her ears. Hotaru moved in front of her and held up her glaive.
"I wouldn't do that," Momaru said, while Jadeite laughed, "you see, you would end up hitting Shingo as well," he smiled a truly evil smile.
"I wont," they heard someone say behind them. Goku threw two Ki blasts at the two men. They hit hard, Shingo was dropped, and then all of the Z fighters were there. Some threw Ki blasts, some went over to the girls. Goku's were the only blasts that hit. The two had decided that there was just to much going against them to stay, so they stepped back through the rip and disappeared from view.
The girls were all still in the air when the fighters came down. They looked up at the girls, gathered around Hotaru and Minako.
"They will die the next time I see them," Goku said, tight lipped.
"What!?" asked Chichi, surprised with her usually gentle husband.
"They are the ones who hurt those girls. The white haired one was bragging openly of what he had done to the littlest one, I am in complete agreement with Kakarot," Vegeta told Chichi and the others. The girls came down, one by one. Minako being the last. Hotaru and Usagi walked over to where Bulma was checking over Shingo.
"Allow me," Hotaru said, moving the older woman out of the way, "Tears of Saturn!" she cried, a purple aura surrounded the unconscious boy, and then he was fluttering his eyelashes.
"Wha-" his eyes snapped open and he looked around him. "Sailor Moon, Sailor Saturn!" he cried in Surprise.
"Hi Shingo, how are you feeling?" Usagi asked him, putting a hand to his forehead.
"fine, wait a minute, how do you know my name?" he asked. She and Hotaru giggled behind there hands.
"You silly goose, I thought you would be clever enough to recognize me when you saw me face to face," Usagi told him with a laugh, dropping her transformation.
"Usagi!?" he asked, incredulous.
"that would be an affirmative," she said with a small smile, "are you upset with me?" she asked.
"Naw, how could I be? hey, would you introduce me to Sailor Mars?" he asked with a big smile.
"You've already met her,"
"huh?"
"yep, you've met Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter,"
"I have?"
"girls," she called to the other sailors, "lose the transformation, Shingo doesn't believe that he's actually met you," as they did so Shingo's mouth dropped in surprise.
"Rei, Minako, Ami and Makoto, I should have guessed," he said, shaking his head.
"I told you I was Sailor Moon before," Usagi said, ruffling his hair.
"yeah, that was pretty unbelievable. the first time you said it, Mom was yelling at you for being late to school, the second time you were covered in flour 'cause you were trying to cook, the third time you were complaining that Mom shouldn't be worried about what grade you got on a test paper because for all you knew you could die from some evil youma you were supposed to be fighting, and the fourth time, you trying to convince Dad that since you were Sailor Moon and fighting to save the world every night, that your allowance should be doubled. " he said ticking off numbers on his fingers.
"You counted?" she asked, surprised.
"sure, it was pretty funny how you and she had the same hair style and everything." he answered, "dude, where are we?" he asked looking around himself.
"well, you see, it's kind of a long story," she answered with a small laugh.
"well all I know, is that you guys had better get back home soon. when you all didn't come home, mom and dad tried to call Rei's and then some guy named Chad called from the police station saying that Rei's grandfather was dead" Rei let out a soft cry at this news, "and that you all were missing. I guess that Sailor Saturn must be the girl that Haruka Tenno was looking for. Does he know that you are a Sailor?" he asked looking at Hotaru, who grinned widely.
"Oh, he knew before I did," she said with a smile, "you see he, is really a she, in disguise."
"What?"
"It's true," Usagi said with a smile, "She's Sailor Uranus,"
"But I thought she was going out with that Violin Chick,"
"I wouldn't call her a chick in front of her or Haruka, Her name is Michiru Kaiou, Sailor Neptune, and they are going out," Makoto said with a smile.
"oh," was the only response from the boy.
"we've only been gone for a couple days," Usagi said, "They can't be to worried yet,"
"oh yeah?" Shingo countered, "Mom spent all yesterday coming up with different ways that someone could have killed you, or maimed you in any possible way."
"Sounds like mom,"
"her biggest worry was Rape, but I told her that you and your friends would kill anyone who even thought about that one," at his words, the smiles slowly faded from there faces. The ten year old knew his sister and her friends well enough to know that he was wrong, and now he was angry. "Was I wrong?" he asked them quietly.
"I think it's time that we all go into the house," Usagi said with a smile.
"I've seen much better false smiles than that one," he told her. A light seemed to click on suddenly, "hey, your boyfriends missing to, did you know that? His apartment was empty and everything." he looked down at his hands, "The police thought that you two might have run away together, but I told them that you wouldn't have done that." he looked back up at her, "you wouldn't run away with Momaru without telling me, would you?" he looked so young and forlorn. Usagi wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh, Shingo, I would never, never, never run away and leave you." she pulled back and smiled at him, "if I did that, who would I count on to remind me that I wasn't always a princess?" She giggled, "and who would I pick on?"
"As long as you don't tie me to a chair and paint my nails again," he said with a frown.
"I haven't done that in years," she said with mock outrage.
"You did it last weekend,"
"oh yeah,"
"don't worry, we wont let her do that to you anymore," a young man said coming up behind a lady with blue hair.
"Who are you?" he asked with a little boys curiosity.
"I'm Derek,"
"oh, I'm Shingo . . . your really tall,"
"Shingo," Usagi said.
"oh calm dow, I didn't say anything bad. Any way, I never met them before, so I have a right to sit and make accurate observations, while holding in my curiosity as to who they are, until my sister feels the need to introduce me to the large group of people who happen to be around us,"
"Is this how you manage to get mom to clean your room for you?"
"Whatever do you mean?" he asked innocently.
"whenever your room is a mess, and I hear mom telling you too pick up. Ten minutes later, I go by, and there she is, cleaning that mess of a room."
"Hey, I resent that. My room has never been messy," Usagi snorted, "It has been Passive restrictive, it has been cluttered to overabundance, and it has been in severe disorder, but it has never been messy,"
"Mom needs to learn how to argue with someone like you," Usagi grumbled.
"Until she does, I will live happy knowing that I can get out of chores."
"Fine, would you like to meet everyone?" she asked him.
"That was what my not-so-subtle hint was for," he said.
"Shingo," she started to point to each one in turn, "this is Bulma, Chichi, Goku, Bra, Marron, Krillin, 18, Mitch, Mirai Trunks, Gohan, Piccallo, Goten, Chibi Trunks, Derek, Yamcha, and Oolong." She turned to her friends, "you already know Rei, Sailor Mars; Makoto, Sailor Jupiter; Ami, Sailor Mercury; Minako, sailor Venus; and Hotaru, Sailor Saturn." She turned to the group, "everyone, this is Shingo, my little brother." They all nodded.
"great we have another mouth to feed," muttered Vegeta.
"Vegeta, Shut up, he's adorable, and they're not even in the same dimension anymore, they need a place to stay. Would you have me turn them out?" Bulma asked. Bra decided to join in and they ganged up on Vegeta, not giving him time to say anything while they attacked.
"Daddy, don't you want to make mommy and I happy?"
"Don't you like having women in the house?"
"don't you like us talking together instead of bothering you?"
"Don't you like having us safe?"
"Don't you like having us out of the way when you train?"
"Don't you like eating food?"
"Don't you like having food cooked for you?"
"Don't you like sleeping on a bed?" Bulma asked at last. Vegeta growled in annoyance.
"Woman, I didn't say he couldn't stay," Vegeta told Bulma, "The females and the boy can stay. I want to be around when those two come back," he stalked into the house.
"What two?" Shingo asked. They all looked at him.
"Shingo," Ami started, "what is the last thing you remember before woke up?"
"I was at home, going to sleep,"
"You don't remember anything else?"
"Nope,"
"hmm, you were brought here by an evil person to try and get Usagi to give up her Silver Imperial Crystal," She told him, "Now you're in a different dimension,"
"whoa, are you serious?" he asked.
"Yes,"
"What's a dimension?" he asked, scratching his head in a Goku-like gesture. Usagi and the others did anime drop.
"Shingo, you idiot," Usagi started, "don't you read comics?"
"yeah,"
"well, then you should know what a dimension is,"
"oh, those dimensions," everyone fell at his response.
"what other dimensions would there be?" she yelled.
"well, I'm only ten, you can't expect me to be as smart as you are, I'm only one little boy and I've just undergone a traumatic experience."
"You were unconscious and you don't remember anything,"
"That doesn't mean I haven't developed emotional fears through my subconscious, I could be scared for life," he told her with puppy dog eyes.
