Hello everyone!
Ready for the newest chapter? Well here it is anyway. I just wanted to give a big shout out to everyone that review, it means sooooo much to me and inspired me to write this newest chapter. Once again sorry for the mistakes, in a rush to get this chapter up I didn't get a chance to proof read it more then omce. Anyway enough rambling, enjoy!
I do not own Sailor Moon or its characters.
"Why would Usagi just run out on us? She does know that there's an enemy out there wanting her gone." Rei fumed after Makoto and the others had filled her in on what had transpired. They were now sitting in the park waiting for Mamoru to come.
"How could she forget Rei, her parents where killed yesterday." Minako sighed, "She properly just wanted to let off some steam."
Rei gave a defeated sigh and began playing with the hem of her skirt. "I know that she's going through a hard time, and I understand that she just might wanna forget everything, but being with Naru isn't the safest option right now. If something happens Naru can't protect her and now that I think about it Naru might be in danger just from being around Usagi." Running a frustrated hand through her long raven hair Rei was glad to have spotted Mamoru heading their way.
"Here comes Mamoru." She said and was once again lost in her own thoughts. Mamoru approached the group of girls and instantly noticed the absence of a key member. He began to panic.
"Where Usako?"
"That's why we called you." Ami began. "She left with Naru straight after class and she won't answer her communicator."
Mamoru cringed, he expected Usagi to do something like this. To want to get away from all the girls who were being protective. "Do you have any idea where they might've gone?"
"They're at Naru's house." Said a familiar voice. Everyone turned around and was surprised to see the Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru approaching them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rei demanded, jumping to her feet. "Usagi's going to be mad if she sees you around."
Setsuna nodded and motioned for Hotaru and sit down beside the girls. "I am aware of Usagi's feelings towards us at the moment, but regardless we will do our job and protect the princess."
"How do you know that they're at Naru's?" Mamoru asked trying to break the tension between the groups.
Haruka turned her attention towards Mamoru. "We've been keeping an eye on her all day. Not that we thought you girls couldn't." She added seeing the annoyed look on Rei and Makoto's faces.
"Then why aren't you with her now?" Questioned Ami.
"Michiru had a bad feeling and we wanted to come get you, just in case."
"Usagi hates us doesn't she." Hotaru piped in sadly, surprising everyone. "I don't blame her of she does."
Mamoru didn't like seeing Hotaru upset. She was Chibiusa's best friend, ever since she left he had taken a special interest in her upbringing. "No, no, don't think that Hotaru. Usagi doesn't hate you. She's just got a lot going through her head at the moment. "Give her time she'll calm down."
"I wouldn't blame her though if she doesn't." Muttered Rei darkly.
Setsuna heard Rei's remark and turned her eyes directly upon her. "Rei you are very loyal to Usagi so I understand that you may hate me at the moment. But it had to be done. I saw the future where people remembered her family and a lot went wrong, important events skipped over and some not existed. It truly was for the best.
"It's not me you should be explaining to." Rei counted and remembered the broken look upon her friends face. Her spirit broke some.
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
The sound of Minako's communicator going off distracted everyone from Rei and Setsuna's heated conversation.
"Usagi what's wrong?" Minako said quickly.
"There's…trouble….Naru's…NARU!" Usagi said frantically before the communicator cut out leaving everyone speechless. Wasting no time Minako got out her transformation pen. "Come on we have to get to Naru's. Lets go."
"We haven't hung out like this in forever." Naru said happily as her and Usagi sat on her bedroom floor doing their homework. Usagi laughed and looked up from her book.
"I know the last time we hung out was.." Before I became sailor moon, and suddenly had the weight of the world on my shoulders. She thought sadly. "Well in forever." She added quickly and looked back down at her book.
"Has your mum been grounding you more Usagi?"
Usagi dropped her pen at Naru's question. "What did you say?" She asked breathlessly. Naru suddenly felt very embarrassed.
"Well it's just that whenever I've seen you lately you've been looking sad and I thought that it was because Mamoru was in America but then you stoped coming out at all so I though maybe your mum had grounded you." Naru explained.
Usagi could hardly believe it. Naru remembered her mum, how was that possible? Setsuna had taken away all memory of them. Before she could stop herself Usagi began to speak.
"You know my family?" She said in a whisper.
"Well yeah. Of course I know your family, it hasn't been that long Usagi. Your dad, mum and Shingo, oh and Chibiusa- Usagi why are you crying?" Naru asked alarmed when she noticed that Usagi was crying.
"You remember my family. I'm just soo happy." Did Setsuna make a mistake? Whatever the reason she was happy that someone who had known her family nearly as long as her remember them. "I was so worried that no one.."
Naru went over to Usagi and pulled her into a hug. "Usagi what's wrong please tell me, you can trust me you know that."
"I'm so tired Naru. I can't do it anymore. I can't watch the people I care about leave me. Everyone I love always leaves me. I shouldn't even be here with you. You're in danger because of me." She was telling everything, but she didn't care. Only now was she realising what danger Naru was in. Pulling away from Naru Usagi wiped her tears away and stood up.
"I should go. I shouldn't be around you."
Naru got up to try and stop her. "Usagi your in pain and I can tell that there's more of it. Please talk to me. You're my best friend, you may not be able to tell Mamoru or the other girls but you can tell me." She said and pulled her into another hug. Usagi closed her eyes and let a few more tears fall down her face. She wanted to tell Naru so badly, she had ever since she became sailor moon. Maybe if she told her the whole truth Naru would understand the danger she was in and stay away from her. Pulling back from Naru Usagi saw something glittering in the distance. What is that? Usagi thought, but before she had any time to react something smashed through the window knocking both Usagi and Naru to the ground.
"What was that?" Naru asked Usagi as she pulled pieces of glass out of her hair and clothes. Usagi was on her feet quickly looking around the room, something wasn't right, she could sense it.
"Naru I want you to run away as fast as you can." Usagi said helping Naru off the ground. "Don't come back okay, just keep running."
Naru looked at Usagi's face and saw the determination on it. "No there's no way I'm leaving you Usagi."
"I can take care of myself!" Usagi yelled at back at Naru making her flinch. She has to leave now, something's coming. "Just go!"
Suddenly Naru was smacked against the wall by an invisible force.
"Naru!" Usagi screamed as she ran over to Naru who was now being lifted up the wall. "Put her down. It's me you want put her down!" Usagi screamed desperately as she looked around to find the attacker.
"Usagi! Run!" Naru screamed, as suddenly a hand materialised out of thin air and began to strangle her. "Ahhhhh"
Usagi saw the hand and couldn't figure out what was going on. Was the enemy here but invisible and was it safe to transform around Naru. If she did Naru would be in greater danger? When Usagi turned around and saw Naru going blue in the face, she knew what she had to do.
"Moon eternal make up!" Usagi yelled and allowed her transformation to wash over her. Using her sceptre Usagi fired her energy at the hand, making it go limp and fall to the ground. Wasting no time she ran to Naru's side.
"Naru? Naru are you okay?" Sailor Moon asked desperately as she shook Naru in an attempt to wake her up. She got no response. I need help. Pulling out her communicator she called whoever was available.
"Usagi what's wrong?" She heard a concerned Minako ask.
"There's…trouble." Sailor Moon began to say, but stoped when she noticed a ball of light heading towards them, fast. Oh no. ".Naru's…NARU!" Sailor Moon said, trying her best to move Naru, who was still passed out.
However the energy ball was too fast and impacted upon both Sailor Moon and Naru. Sailor Moon shut her eyes before impact and was surprised to feel no pain, just the sensation of flying. After hitting the floor with a thud, Sailor Moon opened her eyes and realised that the energy had thrown the girls into a wall and into the living room of Naru's house. Inspecting both her and Naru's bodies quickly she could find no life threatening wounds, just minor cuts and bruises.
"Naru, Naru wake up." She said giving Naru another shake and was rewarded with a slight stir and mumble. "Thank god." She sighed happily.
"Don't think god had anything to do with it." Said a voice making chills run down Sailor Moon's spin. That voice. She thought unable to pick where she'd heard it before."She's alive because I made it so."
Turning around to face the voice Sailor Moon was confronted with a figure wearing a purple cloak, a shadow clouding her face.
At that moment the scouts and Tuxedo Mask burst into the room, each one taking a fighting stance.
"How dare you attack innocent girls trying to study." Venus said, staring down her enemy. "By the power of-
"Venus"
"Mercury"
"Mar"
"Jupiter"
"Neptune"
"Uranus"
"Saturn"
"And Pluto"
"We will stop you." She finished.
The cloak figure chucked, "Same old speech just new Characters. Sailor Moon." She said turning her attention back to the scout of the moon. "Did you enjoy the present I left for you? Hope it wasn't to messy."
"Shut up." Sailor Moon hissed her blood boiling. She didn't care that she didn't know what powers this new enemy possessed, all she wanted to do was run at her and make her regret ever breathing. Tuxedo Mask saw Sailor Moon temper rising and moved in closer to make sure she didn't do anything stupid.
"Leave her alone you scum." Jupiter yelled, causing Sailor Moon to turn around anger and glare at her.
"Stay out of this." Moon retorted.
"Why? I'm having so much fun with this. Do you want me to tell you how they screamed? Begged for death and then only when I was bored I gave them relief."
Sailor Moon's energy was rising drastically and all the scouts could sense it. "I swear if you don't shut your mouth I will make you wish that you we're never born." She hissed taking a step forward. The cloaked figure laughed a blood chilling laugh.
"Somehow I doubt that Sailor Moon. You're weak. You couldn't even protect you loved ones a day ago. They all died due to your weakness and now your threatening me? Your weak, just like your mum."
"SHUT UP!" Sailor Moon screamed and dove at the cloaked figure, the force sending both of them through a window and onto the street.
"Sailor Moon!" Everyone yelled and ran to their leader, who was now trying to land a punch.
"We have to help her!" Mars yelled and got ready to fire an attack, only to be stoped by Ami.
"Don't they're moving around to much, you could hit Sailor Moon."
Sailor Moon smiled as her fist collide with the face of her enemy, she was proud to her the sound of a bone snapping. This is what she needed right now. Revenge.
"Do you think that will stop me? You're stupider then I though moon brat." The cloaked figure laughed and pushed Sailor Moon off. Sailor Moon, stunned momentarily leapt to her feet and resumed her punching, She landed a few more blows before falling back, only to have Tuxedo Mask catch her.
"Remove your cloak and show yourself you coward." Mars yelled ready to launch her attack. The cloak figure shook in laughter.
"No? Well then enjoy this. Mars flame snipper." Mars yelled and shot her attack.
The arrow flew with such speed at the enemy that all the girls knew they were done for. However, to everyone's disbelief the arrow went straight through her.
"No way!" Neptune gasped.
"How is that even possible?" Whispered a shocked Uranus.
The cloaked figure laughed and began to levitate into the air. "Sailor Moon." She began looking down at the angered warrior. "This is between you and me. Next time you bring your little friends I will not spare them. The choice is your's Sailor Moon, will more people die due to your stupidity? I'll be in touch, until then you may want to train. Goodbye." She said then disappeared into thin air. Sailor Moon, couldn't believe it, they were gone. She let the person who murdered her family slip through her fingers.
"Sailor Moon are you okay?" Mars asked running up to her leader, mars could see that Sailor Moon was still shaking and prayed that she wasn't hurt. Sailor Moon turned around and looked at Mars, anger evident in her eyes.
"What were you thinking?" Sailor Moon yelled, causing Mars to flinch.
Mars didn't know what she meant. What did I do wrong? "Sailor Moon what are you talking about?"
"Why did you have to get involved? You just made things worse." Sailor Moon growled.
"Sailor Moon, you needed help. You called us. We're just protecting you. It's our job." Venus explained rushing to Mars's defence.
"No. Your job is to do as I say. If you hadn't attacked them I could have finished them off." Sailor Moon yelled back, she felt tears in the back of her eyes but held them back.
"If we did nothing they would have killed you." Mars fired stepping closer to Sailor Moon. "They had the upper hand. They would have killed you!"
"Maybe that's what I wanted!" Sailor Moon answered, shocking everyone around her. Tuxedo Mask, couldn't believe what he had heard. "Usako you can't mean that?" He said walking over to her, only to get pushed away.
"Yes it is. I hate this. I hate all of this, I just want some relief." Sailor Moon explained, drawing on her and Mamoru's conversation the previous night. She saw the way Tuxedo Mask was pleading with her to clam down but she didn't care about that. Tuxedo Mask took a deep breath before continuing.
"Usako, I know how you feel okay, I've lost people close to me to."
"No you haven't! Your parents died when you were a child. You lost all your memories of them. I have 16 years of memories with them. I can remember everything. You have no idea how much that hurts to know that they won't be waiting for me later. They died because of me!" She screamed, her words cold. "You have no idea what it's like to watch everyone you love die in front of your eyes, to watch them as they jump in front of you leaving you alone in this world. You think that it's heroic, guess what it's not! It's cowardly. People looking for an easy way out."
No one knew what to say as their princess vented all her anger out on them. They had no idea that she felt this way.
"I'm not going to watch that again." Sailor Moon said in a quieter more calm voice. "I won't survive it this time." A tear ran down her cheek and Tuxedo Mask moved it away with his hand. Moving away from his, Sailor Moon walked back inside the house and picked up an unconscious Naru.
"I love all you guys so much, and I can't bare to see you hurt on my behalf-again. That's why I'll be doing this on my own. Don't get in my way, otherwise…just don't and it will be better for everyone." She said her voice a perfect monotone.
"Usako wait-" Tuxedo Mask began, only to have Sailor Moon disappear in a flash of white light.
Oh no what's Usagi going to do about this new enemy. What's Naru going to think or remember?
Look like you'll have to keep reading.
