Fallen angel, chap 10
NEW LIFE, NEW DAY
"For christs sake Jupiter, attack that thing already would ya?" hollered Rei dodging a slimy green blast. They'd been battling for what seemed hours now, and were getting no where. Since Usagi had left, either these Youmas were getting stronger…or as Rei hoped…they must just be getting stronger.
"I'm trying Mars, this thing is just too fast!" retorted Lita as she ducked the Youmas attack upon her.
Ami retreated slowly into the depths of the night, "Oh Usagi…we need you…" she whispered watching Litas body jerk violently with the impact of the harsh ground. Her bagged and hollow eyes surveying the area, trying to come up with some sort of strategic plan.
The youma was starting to enjoy itself by now, taking turns at attacking each of the scouts. Each wearing hefty wounds, making it all the more unlikely they would win this battle. It was playing them and nothing more.
From the shadows he watched. How did I let it get this bad? It's all my fault for listening to those stupid dreams. The scouts are suffering and it's all because of me. I can never forgive myself...or them for how we treaded my Usagi…Dark eyes downcast, his ebony hair shadowing the fatigue on his face he decided. I've waited too long Usagi, my Meatball head. I will find you. And this time I'm never letting you go. Jerking his head upright he slid into action with the scouts. Refueled with his desire and passion for his Moon Princess. "Usagi, I can't live without you," he proclaimed swiping the slimy Youma across the skull with a sick thud. "I can't live without you for a single day," he added hitting the ground, turning, glaring at it, awaiting its next more so he too could act. "I am nothing more than a mere shadow of my former self without you," jumping he avoided the green blast and speared the Youma dead in the eye with a red crimson rose. Green fluid sprayed his white collar, the smell of it reaching his lips causing him to dry reach.
Shocked by Tuxedo mask's sudden rampage the scouts just looked on in pure disbelief. They hadn't seen him so full of life since before Usagi had left.
"I love you!" declared Darien as he spared the beast through the heart. With a blood curdling scream the Youma collapsed to its knees, seconds before turning to dust.
"Darien?" questioned Mina, her sapphire eyes brimming with tears. A thick trail of blood trickling down the side of her face. Just another scar she would have to hide from the world tomorrow.
"I'm going to win her back…" with the flick of his cape he was gone, nothing but those last words running though the scouts mind. Dazed Mina turned to see Ami helping the others to their feet. Becoming aware of her watchful stare they turned. Lita, Ami and even Rei let a glimpse of a smile appear. After all this time, their Prince was finally going to fetch their Moon Princess.
"Oh," Usagi gasped, words caught in her throat. She hadn't been aware of anyone in the room with her. Blushing she turned from her dancing partner.
"You're a very graceful dancer Usagi," the invader purred.
"Thanks, Seiya," she mumbled letting go and fetching her purse from her pink bed spread.
Holding out his hand for hers, Usagi willingly accepted and exited her apartment locking it behind her. It was a beautiful spring day, with her lawns (what there was of them) freshly mowed and flowers recently bloomed adding that extra spice to the air. Grinning broadly Usagi hopped into the black Prelude with Seiya shutting the door behind her. She'd met him at Rangiora High School…
FLASHBACK(I'm not a fan of these but here I go!)
Usagi dawdled at the doors entrance, red paint flaked off the aging door and she began to wonder if she'd made the right decision by moving here. Hand paused ready to nock the door was jerked open in front of her opening to a tiny classroom. A little woman with short back hair and of a plump nature greeted her with a cheerful smile.
"Ahh you must be Usaji?" she happily announced struggling with her name.
"Usagi" she correnced, "Yes I am."
"Well welcome to Media studies!" she gestured to the tiny 20 person classroom. She looked about the same age as these kids, but by the looks of it she's the teacher, Usagi mused to herself.
"Now were just in the middle of studying 'What Dreams May Come', ah…" she stared off staring around at the classroom. " Ah ha! Now Usagi, to update you I'm sure Seiya here wouldn't mind lending his notes for you to look over and well sit beside! So Sarah move your ass." She ordered.
Usagi blinked a couple of times, her cerulean blue eyes mystified at what she had just seen and heard. She'd never heard a teacher be so short with students before. Shrugging it off she started walking towards the seat she had been appointed. "Hi I'm Seiya," the boy greeted his hand held out to her. He had ebony black hair that almost looked like it was slicked back into a pony tail his deep blue eyes. He was tall and of medium built, 'not too bad looking,' thought Usagi. Realizing she'd been standing there steering at him for some moments now she shook his hand and settled next to him.
END FLASHBACK
Usagi beamed at how close they had become over the year as they pulled up to Matawai Park. Reaching behind his seat for the camcorder and Media studies book he smirked at Usagi.
They'd been working on their Documentary for a whole term now and this was the last part to tie it all together. They'd tried other places like Usagi walking down the street with Seiya just walking in front of her, camera in hand, but it never seemed to work like it did on television. So they opted for the Matawaii Park and to sit Usagi down by the little lake, which suited their documentary perfectly, 'Sangomas' just the thought of the topic of their 'doco' made Usagi chuckle.
"What's so funny Usagi?" Questioned Seiya, they'd decided to do the documentary together as they'd naturally become best friend over the last year.
"Oh just remembering the look on Ms M's face when we told her what our topic was, witch doctors!" causing her to giggle even more Usagi clutching her stomach couldn't' help but love to tease her media studies teacher, just like she did the students.
Shaking his head at the blonde Seiya started setting up by the waters edge.
Usagi had perched herself on a log bordering the park's lake, looking towards the tree top canopy, sunlight etched across her petite face. Her entrancing blue eyes glazed over, lost deep in thought.
Turning around Seiya froze, his deep blue eyes locking onto hers, slowly pulling her out of her trance like state.
A small sweet smile graced her lips, 'All ready to roll Seiya?"
"Sure Usa," Seiya stuttered getting his breath back. Has she no idea how beautiful she is? Has she no idea what she does to me?
Her smile broadening Usagi began ordering Seiya around, demanding to get the 'best shot possible.'
Brushing his shaggy blonde hair out of his eyes Andrew couldn't help but sigh. No matter how much he tried he couldn't stop worrying about his best friends predicament. Wiping the counter for what was probably the hundredth time his eyes jerked up at the sound of the doors opening and slamming shut ,"Ah Hi Dare!".
His deep eyes blazing with newly found hope and life Darien slammed his fists onto the counter top. Andrew gulped taking a tentative step back.
"Hand it over Andrew," Darien commanded, their eyes locked.
"Uh hand what over Dare?"
"Her address Andrew!" Darien yelled and grasped a hold of his apron bringing the confused Andrew merely inches from his face. A smirk filtering his thin lips. 'I'm getting my love back and this time I'm not letting go'
"Oh…sorry Dare had no idea what you were on about.." he stammered placing his hands atop Darien's trying to get them to loosen their grip of his apron without any success. "let me just go and get it for you ok?" talking down to him he slowly started stepping back before sprinting to the back office as soon as he was freed.
Taking deep and calming breaths Darien carefully watched him retreat though his ebony bangs. Returning a few seconds later Andrew thrusted the paper in front of him. Although refused to let go.
"Don't hurt her Dare, please."
He let go causing Darien to pause for a moment, letting his words sink he turned heel and headed for the doors. Stopping door opened. "Don't worry Andrew, I won't" he vowed stepping into the sunlight, doors closing slowly behind him.
Her smile gracing the camera's lens Seiya became lost in her smile, her eyes, her long blonde, though oddly shaped golden hair…
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
screaming water erupting from behind Usagi, water torrenting down upon her throwing her towards Seiya. Landing square on his lap Usagi turned, wide eyed to face a blue human shaped blob of what appeared to be a sticky form a water.
"Youma…" she cursed eyes piercing.
Blinking Seiya looked towards Usagi, "What did you say Usa?You know what that…thing is?"
"Ahh…hehe" Usagi giggled rubbing the back of her head sweat dropping, "No, no I said, what..the? yeah what the" she answered looking away. 'Damn it! Damn my luck and damn my life! why did I say that? Why is it here? I left that life behind…'
"Now surrender your energy to me!" it screeched extending its left arm. Torrents of steaming blue goo screaming straight for the two.
'Oh no! I can't transform, the scouts will find me for sure. Seiya will know. But if I don't who will stop it?' Shaking her head from her thoughts and shoving Seiya out of the goo's path she decided.
"Usagi!" Seiya screamed his body hitting the earth.
Her arm forming a barrier in front of her head Usagi could only but scream as the goo hit. Her delicate body thrown back some feet by sheer force. Glaring at the monster Usagi turned her attention back to her arm which was covered in three inches of the goo. Eyes wide screaming Usagi retreating even further, "ewwwww groooooooooooooooooooooooose!" Usagi wailed thrashing erh arm about trying to eradicate the gunk. 'Luckily this isn't what it uses to drain energy, I feel fine, but why attack me with something that doesn't suck my energy after that dramatic announcement?'
"Now let me deal with your little boyfriend first, yeck lovers, how I despise you. Just like Endymion and Serenity you two so, will perish!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screaming Usagi stood. Her crescent moon branding her forehead, glowing, emitting golden bursts of light around her, engulfing her. Breaking away the blue substance's hold of her arm.
The Youma barely glancing in her direction before continuing with it's attack, as if used to the interruptions.
Seiya lay and watching everything unfold around him, the attack descending his way.
