FyraBerkaan: wow, that was really touching. I started watching Sailor Moon when I was 16, it was memorizing to me. your review was very touching and I appreciate it. I don't think the anime did her justice the manga was closer.
mavebelikova (Guest): Don't worry the loving moments aren't over with yet. She will get help with the issues but it'll be a progress.
Lunar Cadet (Guest): Diamond wants to help out a lot and because of that he will be in it more so. Mamo might not like it though.
NeoPrincessRini: Diamonds not gonna disappear like in the anime or the manga. At least not that easily. And I like to do the unexpected.
damonika2009: Usagi wants the two outer senshi to join them and to stop being off on their own tangent. That and she was just really pissed that she lost some of her senshi. And Diamond is lucky all she did was snap. He has a lot to make up for, but he still loves her dearly.
Bouowmx (Guest): it wont be dragged on for to much longer. I want the senshi to be good senshi again soon, just give it a little bit of time. This chaos bit will run its course for now. It'll have its explanation and what not's later on, this two parter bit was the major attack. Bear with us it will get explained sooner rather than way later.
Slow Burn (Guest): well im glad your back with us. I'd hate to loose a loyal view over a stupid error. Still can't believe I did that.

Sailor Moon S 'Rise of the Messiah' ch. 11
The moon had risen high over the ancient trees, a bloated silver disc that illuminated the dry grass over the Shrine grounds. In a soft white glow that made the landscape look as if it was dusted by frost. A black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, padded softly along the very edge of the top plank of the red Torrii. Her eyes shimmering with that mirrored glow of a predator aiming for her prey.
Two ravens sat in humble silence of the far end of the traditional gateway. Their own yellow eyes glowing in the half light of deep night. As the cat neared, then merely cocked their heads to the side to great her.
"Phobos...Demos?" Luna sat primly beside them regarding the barren shrine grounds below them with a dark curiosity.
(Rei has fallen.) Phobos regarded her with a morbid air. His voice a timeless echo, a spiritual communication between the two animals. Ruffling his feathers in unease, the spiritual plane was unsettling right now. Like the churning of a storm riddled sea. He was on edge, along with his eternal companion. Demos, shivered regarding Luna mutely.
Luna bowed her head, she had been once again tirelessly researching the moon archive for clues on what to do, how to fix this or at least find someone who could help, while Artemis scoured the long eon's of history of the Silver Millennium for any reverence to the Phantom Crystal. So far, their was just far to much information to sift through and not enough time or energy to spend with it all.
Demos cawed in sorrow, his voice a grieving abode for his mistress.
"What do you mean?" Luna inquired, a cold lump forming in her throat.
(Chaos has taken her body. The Senshi Soul of Mars has abandoned her.) Phobos responded.
"How did Chaos even seed itself within her?" Luna was appalled, the realization of Usagi's worries coming slowly. That final battle, the shard of black stone...of course! Luna nearly cried out in frustration. It had been conjecture, theory that something evil had occurred during that stones destruction. She seemed to be several steps behind the enemy still. It wasn't something that boded well for the feline.
As the previous advisor to the former Queen Serenity, guardian and advisor to her daughter now, she needed to at least be one step ahead of the game. It seemed this was not to be for this new enemy. There had to be a way to gain at least a foothold to figuring them out. Because this 'several steps behind' deal was NOT going to continue on.
(We shall keep watch, Mistress Luna.) Demos called, as Luna made her way back down the wooden plank.
Luna could sense a shift in Rei, as she padded down the outer platform of the Shrines, main building. The rice divider to her room was partly open, a narrow splinter of warm light falling upon the floor boards just ahead. Luna was investigating how far along Rei's descent with chaos had gone. Needing to gauge how much time that they had left before all hope was lost for the raven haired Miko.
Her heart was burning with grief, she liked Rei. Respected the quick tempered, stubborn girl. She always kept Usagi humble, and always pushed her mistress to be more then she was. She knew Usagi was capable of much more and had thus pushed her further. Granted their relationship had a rocky start but they had become closer than most over time. Their sisterly bond a great contrast to the cat and dog way they fought.
Peeking into her room, she found the girl. Dressed in a white button up night shirt and long cotton comfy pants, that had tiny little teddy bears with red bow ties all over them. She looked no different than before, humming a mild tune as she sat before her vanity. Brushing out her long dark hair, in efficient methodical strokes.
"Rei-san?" Yuichiro's deep voice called to her. Luna crouched down low in the crack of the divider. As the girls front divider was pushed aside. The broad shouldered man, moved into her room. Dressed in his blue pants and white shrine robes. His long soft brown hair dusting his eyes and hanging low over his neck.
"Yes, Yuichiro." She never turned from her mirror. Merely smiled mildly towards her reflection.
"Oji-chan, wants us to man the fortune booth tomorrow after school. He has some new charms he wants to sell." He began, then nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
Rei finished her brushing, set the brush down on the wooden vanity. Turning to regard the now sweating and awkward young man with a knowing smile.
"I was...wondering...if you're not busy studying or what not." he stuttered out, his voice now wavering with mild uncertainty. He was unfortunately unaware of what exactly had happened the day she lost her pure heart crystal, unknowing that the Rei he spoke to was merely a shell of herself, "I'd very much like to take you out to eat." he looked up from his sandal's with a tentative smile on his face.
"You're just so cute, when you're all nervous." Rei cooed, moving gracefully up to him and placing her hands flat against his chest.
Yuichiro instantly flushed a bright crimson, chuckling nervously. Not used to her forwardness very much. Having just breached going and hanging out in a barely more than friendly manner, the fiery priestess had a hold on him to melt butter.
"You know I like you...right?" She ducked her head down to meet his eyes, since he was being to shy to look up at her.
"I...guess...yeah. I mean, wow...I mean...ah..." Yuichiro was quickly losing it, at her sudden seductive behavior. He liked it...hell he even loved it. But he was also being reduced to a blubbering, incoherent puddle of goo in her hands.
Plus it was just so odd for her to act this forthright towards anything affectionate. With him in the past she maintained a purely platonic relationship. Only the faintest of hints towards pursuing anything more with him had ever come up over the last few years. She giggled and blushed at her own sudden boldness, this was unlike her but she just couldn't seem to resist.
She was attracted to him, and with what happened to her that afternoon. Nearly dying, coming back to consciousness in the trees. With no sign of Minako anywhere and not thinking to call her on the communicator. Feeling reborn in a way, she had just walked away from the scene like it had nearly hadn't happened. She remembered nothing beyond losing her heart crystal and waking up minutes later.
Figuring Minako had come the rescue and nothing was wrong with her. She hadn't bothered to tell Luna or the others, simply wanting to continue her life. That the blackout in itself, should have been a clue to her but it wasn't.
It did however, get her to re prioritize her life. She wanted Yuichiro, had for years. She just lacked the courage to take the initiative to push their relationship past just being friends. Having used the excuse of senshi business in her own minds eye as a way to avoid it, to push the feelings away, but he was relentless and stuck around. It had made her change her view of him and see that he wasn't going to disappear like her father had so many years before.
The only true man to stay beside her being her grandfather, a man she cherished and supported even through his crazy antics. A man that refused to let her weaken in spirit or in the heart and knew she had potential for so much more.
Getting her head back in the game she slowly craned her head back, drawing his strong face downwards to her waiting lips.
She enjoyed the feel of the soft fuzz upon his cheeks. Her own breath growing shallow as she smelled his refreshingly clean scent. Of soap and spice of incense, his minty breath puffing against her lips. Sending a reassuring tingle down her body that she was truly doing this. She was going to kiss him!
Closing her eyes, she slowly rose up on her tip toes as Yuchiro still towered over her. Lightly licking her dry lips, as she just began to feel the swell of his lower lip against hers. Then he cursed, rather loudly. Shattering the moment like fine glass.
Rei jerked away in surprise, they had just been inches away from a very important moment, in both of their lives. Something she had to build up the courage to do for a long while. Fighting down the urge not to end up spouting angrily at him, due to the way he made her feel. Several times in the past he made her feel things more akin to love rather than just friendship, and she batted it away out of fear. Now here she was being fearless and he had just ruined it!
She was furious, biting down on her lip to contain her scream of rage and anger at him. Finding him giving her a pained, ashamed sort of frown. A finger now press under his nose, which was bleeding profusely. Her eyes narrowed at the sight and discovered his reason for breaking the moment with her.
"Damn it!" He cursed, "Gomen...Rei-chan. I'll make this up to you. I swear!" He professed, darting out of her room as if shot from a cannon.
Rei growled then spun in a frustrated circle, falling down upon her bed nearby with a huff. So close, yet so very far!
Luna groaned, she seemed no different. Perhaps a bit more bold, but not evil in anyway. Now the cat was confused, she hopped off the porch and padded into the shadows down the cobble stone front yard.
Walking back into Azabu, the streets were quiet, stretching like vacant black ribbons. The somber lull of late night suburbia blanketing the world, she could hear the faint whisper of traffic far off in the distances. But the narrow street she was navigating lay forgotten by the rest of Tokyo. An out of the way path she took when she needed to think, it was quite useful during the day.
Rarely used she never had worry about navigating through crowds of people, intent only it seemed, on stepping on her tail. Tonight it was merely habit, weaving through modest obstacles of newspaper bins, bus benches and potted plants. Luna made her way back towards a more used avenue that connected Azabu to Minato-ku. The sky was dark without a single star shining, the lights of the city blocking them out.
Only the ghostly presence of the quarter moon shone down upon her. Thanks to Rei, her mind was drifting to thoughts of love herself. Of Artemis and lastly to her charge. Usagi had matured quite a bit in the last few months. More than she would have approved of actually. Having now full knowledge of her relations with Mamoru, she wasn't to fond of it, still maintaining Lunarian beliefs that she be wed before intercourse but it was far to late for that.
There had been several times that she would come to the Tsukino residence and hear faint moans coming from her room. Choosing instead to sleep over at Minako's and giving Artemis a shove to announce herself. He would merely grunt giving her room in his spot near the back of the bed, to let her sleep by him .While Minako slept peacefully herself, curled up under her covers with a pillow clutched in a strangle hold against her chest.
Of course over time she relented with the thought of 'who was she to get in the way of true love?'. She knew its course would always remain a winding but vastly fulfilling path.
Speaking of moans she shook her head, as a shiver of regret moved through her small feline body. Her memories wandered down a very uncensored path.
Ruefully remembering a very embarrassing situation she had experienced not long ago...wishing a great deal that one, it had NOT happened and two that she could forget the images that burned themselves in her mind. Like a carbon copy photographed in her memory for the rest of her Lunarian life.
While Luna knew of Usagi and Mamoru being together, she refused to be in the same room as them while they made love. She had made that mistake one time by accident and still hated the memories of the breathless sounds from that night.
She had been sniffing something randomly in the obscurity in the closet. When she'd been flattened by a drop of clothes. By the time she wiggled her way out she'd been a mess. Hair standing up from the clothes and static. She had absolutely hated the feeling and she knew it would take a great deal of licking herself to straighten her fur all down into a fine smooth coat once more.
She looked out the closet shutters and looked all over only to find a bare bottom of a certain dark haired male. She'd been utterly confused at first, the wooden slates confusing her. She tried to make sense of the partial images, to fill in the blanks the shutters were hiding from her. It was the knee caps of her charge added with the moans that made her eyes widen in a near catatonic shocked state.
Then her charges legs wrapped around said man's waist before he transferred her to the bed, dress shirt unbuttoned and hers completely off. That was all the feline needed to see to know EXACTLY what was going on. The cat dove back into the clothes faster than Ami could ever dive into a pool of water. Entirely grateful that the many layers and thickness of some of the pieces provided an excellent buffer from the coming sounds of love making.
She slept in there that night and woke up to find Usagi grabbing her clothes from the floor. She vowed to never again witness that act. It was to much for her poor feline heart to take. She knew in the old days had she been in her human form she'd have booted the young prince out the door, or window, but in her feline state she knew her threat would be minimal. She could never stop them. Their love for each other was an absolute.
Even though now Usagi said she and Mamoru mostly just slept in her room, the cat was taking no chances. Last thing she would need was to be sleeping on the edge of the bed and for the two to be unable to contain themselves. Images of her being bounced off the bed or worse, of starting the hear them make love on the bed with her STILL on it – though she doubted that would ever happen – made her vow to NOT let it happen.
Briefly she wondered how it was dealt with in the future. Perhaps she was back in her human form and had a room of her own. She knew for now neither she nor Artemis had enough power to transform into their human forms, only enough to give the girls their transformation wands. It was both frustrating and tiring being trapped in a cat's body, but over the years she had gotten used to it.
However still she'd been at the temple during the late night hours just to avoid it. Personally she wanted to claw his eyes out and place a chastity belt on her charge, but it would have been a useless endeavor. The two were soul mates and no matter what, they always found a way to be with one another. It was as admiring as it was incredibly irritating.
She looked up from her aimless walk, to find Usagi still in her school uniform, sitting on a set of cement steps. Lost in sober reflection on just ahead, the steps would led up to a walkway that crossed the huge avenue that connected Minato to Azabu. A very familiar, very infuriating platinum blonde man that Luna hadn't seen in a while, something she was glad for, leaned against the central metal rail that ran up the stairs. He was dressed in travelling clothes with a dusty backpack slung over his shoulder.
Usagi's chin was perched on her palm, her arm braced upon her knee, as she started talking, "Those daimon are definitely stronger than any enemy we've encountered before. I think it's safe to say that we need to seriously up our game and I can't believe I'm saying this so no stones thrown but, as of right now…Uranus and Neptune are the more powerful senshi." But no stones were cast to the blonde. Diamond had heard the whole tail from beginning to end and knew this as bitter fact.
Luna slunk away, hiding behind a set of potted plants a few feet away. Alarmed to find her charge now tainted with darkness back to fraternizing with the vile man. It's beyond reason at this point, but still disconcerting. She had hated him from the start had even hated his brother, but when his brother reformed and proved to be working towards a positive future she sighed as she knew she had been proven wrong.
However she still held serious trust issues with Diamond. Unable to grasp why Usagi was still speaking to him after all he had done. But she did recall sometimes in the past with Queen Serenity when she was advising her that the Queen had had luncheons and meetings with less than morally noble or savoy people. Those that sought to 'advisor' her on running a kingdom. A few even had enough obnoxiousness in them to tell her she would need them to help run her kingdom to meet the demands of the other planets.
Turns out they had been making a play for her throne something she had seen a mile away as she had sent them home packing. The other planets knew of her hardships with people like them. The Queen was a kind and gentle ruler that still had the hard decisions for her people. It was why she was loved by all. There were just certain people out there that thought they could use her kindness for weakness. She just hoped the Queen's only daughter wouldn't fall for it. Diamond deserved none of it.
Usagi sighed heavily, she had lost three of her Senshi today, she needed to protect Mina at any and all costs. Needed to figure out what kind of darkness was inside of her. Diamond hadn't asked her to transform again and wasn't going to. At least not without Mamoru there. So for right now she just got him up to speed about what was going on.
Uranus and Neptune had powers that could destroy those things, or at the least mortally wound them before the senshi – or mostly her - took them out. Only Usagi had that type of power, though her scepter had remained lost. She still had enough power in the dark blasts to take care of them. "I think perhaps during the next encounter, we should try and get our hands on a daimon egg. Or at least what was left over." Diamond mussed.
Usagi merely nodded, then quickly picked up on his subtle insinuations.
"Uh, uh...no way!" She stood abruptly, facing his stubborn expression. "You are not coming into battle with me."
"What makes you think you can stop me?" Diamond countered, raising his brows arrogantly.
"Easy…I've got super powers...and you're just human now." She responded back darkly.
"Good luck with that." Diamond gave her impertinent nod.
Usagi gave him an exasperated frown, licking her lips in frustration. They had just finished a rather nice supper, and now they were at each other's throats.
"I swear Diamond if I see you anywhere near a Heart Snatcher battle, I will personally blast your ass back to Nemesis, with a ball of darkness." She glowered.
He grinned, patting her head as if acknowledging a cute, boastful child.
"You need me...I doubt you'd fry your only link to understanding the darkness." He smiled in a very infuriating way.
"I hate you." she pouted, not wanting him to get hurt. But knowing she couldn't stop him. He was as stubborn and annoyingly charming as always.
"Their getting faster to, we need to train harder." She bit her lip, they needed to strengthen their powers and fast, else wise things may not be coming out so good for the next battle.
"I could train you at least." Diamond offered, with a shrug. "If your powers aren't linked to Chaos. No one can control Chaos, it is the origin of all darkness." He advised.
She glared at him, crossing her arms hating his doom and gloom attitude. As if all hope was lost for her, her girlfriends and Mamoru. Wondering oddly if he was actually happy about that particular outcome.
"What are you then...the Yoda of all Darkness." She hissed, wanting to slap him. He was so infuriating at times. Raising a brow curiously, having no idea who this 'Yoda' was. He regarded her angry comment silently.
"Sorta...depending on how you view it. I was using the power of Nemesis for decades. Grew up under it's grey sky, my body slowly absorbing its negative energy like the UV rays of the sun. I figure I'm a pretty good master of all things darkness. Now whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is more of a grey area for the moment. But its usefulness is coming in handy I'd say." He shrugged indifferently.
"I studied the long history of our planet and it was around during the Silver Millennium as well." He continued, with an air of authority. "If anyone can figure out what is going on and how to help you and your senshi out it'll be me. But you have got to trust me, believe that I only want to help you. I know how much the girls and that prince of yours mean to you. I'd do anything to help but I need you to LET me help." He gripped her trembling shoulder's. Reassuring her with his strong hands yet again.
"We could do it ear…after school." He tried, seeing the disgruntled look on Usagi's face. "NO offence to the early birds but, I…" he chuckled, her thoughts not showing on her face. But it was clear the idea wasn't flying so to speak.
"After school works better, gives us - me more time to train and not feel rushed due to the need to be at school on time. I've been doing very well at no detentions and I want to keep it that way for as long as possible." Diamond caught the plural slip even if it was by mistake, and kept his face impassive, while inside he was screaming in absolute rage. Knowing Mamoru was having sex with her already.
The most outward appearance effect he gave was a subtle biting of his lip. Hating that his mind conjured up the images of the two together. Having wished that he'd been the one to be hers at least once. A mark to be forever branded on her body. But no it was Mamoru who got that honor even though he felt the earth prince was weak and did not know what he had, as his own. If he did the break up to begin with would NOT have occurred.
Brief memories of her supple body as she had been tricking him into believing her to be evil as she pretended to enjoy what they did together. He could still feel the softness of her breast in his hands, the crinkle of her nipples. He shook his head, the thoughts only now being replaced by images once more of her and Mamoru. Truthfully he felt he was better for her but could not hold a candle to the man in her heart, that much he knew and it tore at his soul.
"Okay, after school training…anything else?" Diamond asked, making sure all topics were covered, it had already been a long evening. He needed a break from her, his heart was feeling a bit shredded again.
She said nothing, merely smiled and shook her head. Happy with the agreement.
"Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon, Usagi – chan." He made a hasty retreat. Leaving Usagi standing on the stairs, watching his slowly hunching shoulders with a pained expression. She knew he was hurting, but she couldn't heal him. No amount of good moon magic would heal what he had. He had to learn to live without her.
Luna made her presence known then. Padding over towards Usagi with a concerned frown.
"I found out about Rei." She announced compassionately, as her charge sunk back into the steps, looking sullen. Keeping her peace over Diamond for the moment, she had overheard the conversation and was going to give the man a second chance. But the first unwanted touch he gave her, she was going to shred his crotch like a scratching post.
"Yeah...Makoto - chan is lost to. I think Ami – chan as well, but I've got no proof yet. Mina and Mamoru are poisoned by Chaos, that much I know. I might be as well." She finished, rubbing her hand over her face in frustration. Seeking to cleanse the pain reflecting there.
Luna said nothing to her and Usagi gave her a strange look, thinking the feline was going to scold her. When it never came, she sighed inwardly yet her body still ached with dread.
("I'll be over at Mamo – chan's for a few days. Papa needs to cool off and honestly…so do I." I tell her. She looks stunned at my expression, "Nani? But what happened?" Luna asked me, shock in her voice. "Short version?" I asked. She sighed, "Hai." I sighed now, "Mamo – chan and the girls came over for dinner. It was supposed to be a nice evening. Papa had a fit about me and Mamo – chan being together, refused to let us see one another then he kicked Mamo – chan out." Luna looked sorry for Mamo – chan.
"Did it ever occur to you that your father is right?" I looked to her. "Luna…" but she stopped me, "You are to young to try and be in an adult relationship. At least beforehand Mamoru – san was to scared to be intimate with you, something I wish he still was afraid on…" her words holding near sorrow in them and well as a tad bit of deadpan to them. "But now…it seems you two…" She looked up to me.
"Well let's just say if I could I'd place an iron chastity belt on you and do some damage his parts, or at least make him not even want to THINK about sex for a very long time." My guardian hissed at me.
"But, alas, I cannot do that. At least the first half." She looked tempted though, envisioning taking out a little wrath upon Mamoru's crotch as well.
"Gomen a sai, Luna, but, I refuse to give up Mamo – chan just for how it may seem to people around us." I stated unwavering. I was tired of the statistics telling me 'oh you're under 16 that means you're not capable of being in a relationship like that'. That was bull and we both knew the truth of it.
"Fine I'm a bit young, it's not like I'm incapable of making my own decisions. After enduring the last two years of battle and hardships Luna I'm a lot older inside then you give me credit for. It's not being forced on me. If I could, I would…" I caught Luna's contemplative look and quieted my further protests. My guardian was wise, a bit over bearing but she had years on me. She knew more about the world and people then even I did. So I relented, and allowed her to speak her mind without comment.
"Does Mamoru - san know of your plans of moving in?" Luna inquired sternly.
Usagi merely tapped her temple, silently reminding her cat that she can speak with Mamoru anytime through their link. Though she had discussed it with him early that evening, when he was walking her home.
"Luna my father went above and beyond and it was a low move. I need a break, it's been a hard night so far. All of us have had an extremely harsh few hours." I sighed, planting my chin in my palm again.
"Are you planning on going home tonight?" Luna pressed.
"As it stands perhaps you could see how my father's fairing at home. I'd rather not walk in on a mind field." Usagi avoided the question, pleading to her cat to check in with her family. She just couldn't go home yet. If she did it wouldn't be through the front door, she was planning on sneaking in getting her things and then leaving. She had been talking to her mother about staying over at one of the girls for a bit. So her cover was in place.
She was hurting over how cruel he had been to her boyfriend. Who didn't deserve any of it in any form. His words were callous and uncalled for. Blinded by some broad stereotype that since Mamoru was an orphan it made him unworthy of her love and affections and made him out for her father's money. It had been nothing more than just plain hurtful and angering.
As if it alone proved he was a bad person, that he had been abandon for a reason. It had struck a painful nerve and excruciating memories of feeling abandon by his family. She had felt all that pain, like a re-opened wound. He had only found out years later that both his parents were only children themselves with no surviving aunts or uncles, only a trust fund set up when he was being conceived.
Now all he had in his life was her, and call him selfish but she knew he was going to fight for her. She was all he had…yeah he had friends in the girls and in Motoki but in the end, his Usako was his only family.
She was the one he wished to marry one day, to have kids with, and if he had it his way there would be MANY kids. She knew he'd talk her into it…somehow. Usagi giggled at the thoughts of having a large brood of kids with him. Wondering how many siblings Chibi Usa had in the future to play with.
Luna turned her head in confusion, not in the loop to her charges inner dialogue. Though the feline hoped Kenji's temper would lower enough to see reasoning. While she may not agree with its current progress she knew the two would be together forever.
Kenji may just see it as a strange man entering his daughter's life to only destroy it when he finds someone else he wants to date. His protective instinct may be on over drive without any real way to slow it down. Get him to give Mamoru a shot. She knew Mamoru would lay his life down for her charge, had done it hundreds of times before.
Hell he'd even died for her twice so she knew he'd be there till her last breath. Kenji didn't see that and perhaps that's all the push he needed was. "Perhaps if he were to know that or rather see that Mamoru – san here is willing to lay down his life for you he'd have a change of heart." Luna looked to her imploringly.
"I get it Luna but how would we even begin to prove that? I'm not purposely putting any life in danger just to make a point to my papa." Usagi stated.
Luna caught on, "No, that's not what I meant, maybe you and your father need to have a day out together. Show him how you've grown up. Maybe with him seeing you as a young woman he'll finally start to see you as the beautiful woman I see you've become." But Usagi looked down at that, "I'll give it a shot but, I'm not sure. Where would we even go for that?" she asked, "Go for a picnic. A movie." Luna tried. Knowing how important it was for her and her father to have a good relationship.
Back on the moon the princess had a very short relationship with her father the king. The man had only been in her life till she was barely four when a great war took him out. They had won of course but the cost had been the king, and since he had been the Queen's soul mate she had been unable to force herself to love again. No step father had been given to the princess as she grew up without one. So Luna knew this father daughter bond should not be broken. It was all her sweet charge would know of a father.
"Hey I'll even be around for moral support, how's that. In case something goes wrong or whatever." Luna suggested. Usagi smiled, "Okay. Let's get home. I need to pack and grab my extra credit assignments." Luna's mouth dropped. "Still getting used to that huh?" Usagi laughed, rising to her feet. Luna pounced onto her shoulder. Giving her chin a rueful head butt. "Mamoru is good for you." She confessed with a grin. Usagi laughed, the first true feeling of happiness she had felt all evening.)
Usagi had changed into a pair of skinny jeans and a tight pink shirt, with an anime bunny face plastered on the front. It's white ears curving up and around the swells of the breasts. She wanted to keep the happy feeling flourishing inside of her so opted to wear something whimsical. Using her spare key, she quietly entered Mamoru's apartment. Moving out of the bright hall and into the gloomy shadow of the foyer.
Stopping frozen in the entryway, she took note that the living room just beyond was dark. Not a single light was on. Dropping her pink duffle bag to the floor just in front of the side table, Mamoru used to hold his keys and phone book. She slipped off her tennis shoes and tentatively stepped up from the sunken entry way and into the darkened living room.
She was about to call out, when she noticed him lounging on the back leather couch. Staring out his picture window, a stout bottle with a narrow neck clutched in his hand. He was wearing only a pair of loose black pajama pants, and a haunted expression. His dark hair looking a wind-blown mess, from his hands constantly running through it as he brooded.
This was Mamoru at his most stressed. Lost to the bitterness and dark contemplations that always pulled him down. His deep blue eyes looked nearly black in the dim light of the room. Usagi swallowed nervously now, wondering if he had even heard her ask permission to sleep over tonight. She had brought it up during their walk back into Minato. But his response had been halfhearted grunts. He'd been to caught up in his worries and fears over the future to give her his full attention.
"Mamo-chan?" She called softly, understanding his need to wallow. Not wanting to be a burden, she glanced back to her duffle, wondering if she should just take off. The thought drifted halfhearted through her mind, soon forgotten. Mamoru needed her comfort right now, it was her turn to take the lead right now. To offer to him a positive to take hope from, as he had done in the past with her.
Awkwardly she moved behind the coffee table and sat down beside him. Placing a hand nervously on his leg, she cast him a small smile as he merely grunted an acknowledgement of her presence. Pulling the smoked glass bottle up to his lips and taking a long swig. She noticed the silver label with the sharp black English words,' Asahi' Printed on the label. It was a common brand of beer, one her own father drank from time to time.
"I know things are looking pretty bleak right now." She sighed, "But I figure, at this point. We have fallen so far, there is only one way to go now. UP." She smiled and squeezed his leg. Her voice bright and jovial.
His eyes darted to her, face impassive. Then resolutely took another drink.
Usagi sweat dropped, her pep talk was going on deaf ears.
"Mamo - chan..." She half whined, wishing to yank that bottle away from him.
"I feel like I have just been told I'm dying from some incurable, terminal disease." He responded.
At first Usagi didn't know how to respond, she merely stared wide eyed and mouth agape. He sounded like he was giving up, tired and apathetic to what was happening. Sitting in the dark, intent on drinking himself into a coma.
As she suddenly took note of the five other bottles, laying discarded and empty at the foot of the coffee table.
"So what your plan is to just give up...to sit here and wallow in self-pity until the world ends?" She crossed her arms in disgust.
"No, I am hoping to be good and drunk of my ass before that happens." He smirked, downing the last of his beer.
She watched mutely as he set the empty bottle beside the others on the floor. His movements already looking calculated, as if keeping himself steady was now a struggle. Then merely plunged his hand down along the side of the couch and retrieved another full bottle. Usagi leaned forward with a grimace, noticing the ripped open box set beside the couch. He had planned to go through a whole twelve pack of beer tonight.
Usagi moaned plaintively, this was bad. This was really bad.
She sat for a long while just watching him work determinedly at another beer. Just staring out of his dark windows, a finality in his slumped pose.
"We have gotten through so many struggles, at this point. We just can't give up." She started, finding him taking deep measured breaths.
"How do we win? Positive thinking and will power is not going to cut it this time." He responded, slamming the empty bottle down on the coffee table.
The sharp ring of the glass hurting her ears, Usagi flinched and grimaced in pain. He acknowledged her pain with a huff, reaching for another bottle.
"Diamonds, back." She blurted out, sick of his apathetic demeanor. Wanting him to show some kind of emotion, even anger if need be, because this cold detached attitude of his was getting nowhere fast. She just needed a reaction from him, something to get his emotions to start up again. It was like he was trying to cut them off, and therefore end up un intentionally cutting her and everyone else out as well. She would not allow him to retreat away into that deep hole of himself ever again.
Once again she met with disappointment, as he merely paid her a small glance. Taking a longer sip of beer, the mouth of the glass neck making a loud smacking sound as he pulled it away from his lips. A silent dismissal of her attempt to engage him.
"He is here to help, Mamo - chan." She sighed, turning to focus on her fingers. Watching him drink was like slowly watching a man drown. She couldn't bear it. She wanted to scream at him, shake him, slap him...anything to wake him up from this ultimately destructive path. She had never seen this side of him and wished she knew what to do to pull him from his funk, his dark mood. She was his soul mate for cripes sake she should be able to!
Mamoru barked, a bitter chuckle wet with drink.
"Right." He nodded, licking his lips to clean the alcohol he had splattered on himself from his fit of laughter.
"He wants to watch me transform." She added with a lilt to her eye brows. Something she hoped would get a reaction from him.
"You didn't do it did you?!" he finally sat up, nearly shouting.
There we go!
Not that she let him hear her thoughts she was finally making some progress but it seemed that might be short lived. "No...of course not." She frowned at him, after everything that had happened how could he have such little faith in her? "I promised to meet him tomorrow afternoon. He thinks if he see's how I transform he might be able to figure out if I am tainted by Chaos or not." She added.
"I told him that I wouldn't without you present." She sighed, raised a shaky hand intent on brushing her fingers down his cheek to reassure him. He was really scaring her right now. Her whole body was trembling with stress.
He merely grunted. "If he even smiles while you transform I'm gonna punch him right back to Nemesis." He growled, then grew contemplative.
"Is that were you've been all night..." He passed her an accusing glance. "Hanging out with him." He snarled.
"Yes." She admitted softly, not denying it. There was not point, and she didn't want it to come out somehow from Diamond.
"Great...that's just perfect." He threw the bottle back, swallowing the last of it in three or four long gulps.
"Mamo - chan...stop!" She pleaded snatching the bottle away from his flimsy grip. Setting it down determinedly beside the couch on her side. Before squaring her shoulder's and confronted him yet again.
"I love you! Nothing happened, nothing ever will!" She tried to reassure him. She had never seen this side of him before. Sad, yes, melancholy and thoughtful, no doubt. Brooding and bitterness was a friend he retreated to some times, but she had always been able to pull him out of that funk. She had witnessed the heights of his rage and then been overcome and consumed by his passion. Never had she seen him look so defeated, as if his spirit had been broken.
He merely stared at her, blinking in a half formed stupor. An alcoholic haze blanketing his mind and making his common sense and reason rather murky.
"You can't do this." Her eyes were searching his, urging him to clear his head. "I can't have my protector so knackered, that he can't see straight. What if a Heart Snatcher attacks now? What good are you?" She kept on.
"What good am I?" Mamoru seemed to mull it over for a bit. Before a devilish grin spread over his face. Something snapped inside, his restraint faltering.
The haunting images his mind kept conjuring to hurt him. Of her and Diamond together for all those weeks on Nemesis. Of her kissing him, laying with him on his bed. It was a like festering wound that had never healed, and Chaos had made it a formidable weapon. He had dulled his mind with the alcohol, enabling the darkness to intensify those images. Burning him like a brand, twisting and melting his restraint.
Usagi suddenly felt the bottom fall out of her stomach as without warning he leaped from the couch for her. She raised her arms up in a warding gesture, yelping in both surprise and perhaps a hint of fear. With a growl he wrapped his larger hand around her wrists and pulled her arms over her head. Using his greater body weight he pushed her down onto her back, deep against the cushions of the couch.
She tried to protest but her voice was quickly muffled by his lips crushing against hers. His grip on her wrists of steel tight, all the blood was leaving her fingers. Leaving them pale and tingling, she couldn't breathe right with him pressed up so heavily on top of her. Her nose smothered against his cheek, suffocating in the musky fumes of the beer on his breath.
She couldn't help but engage in the kiss, it was rough and sloppy and nothing like how Mamoru used to love her. Gathering her wits, she bucked against him wanting him to get off. She couldn't breathe and she was starting to panic.
It only spurned him on. His tongue darted and dived deeply into her mouth, making her moan despite her breathing issue. As his trembling hands unbuttoned her jeans and began yanking them off her legs. He's great strength and urgency had the rough fabric pulled down and away in matter of moments. She had struggled against him, only aiding him in his mission to free her of her pants.
Her body was on fire, coming alive under him. The arousal was wild and fierce, like a forest fire consuming her body. Her pinned arms had now grown numb, as he refused to even loosen his grip. His exploring tongue was taking her breath, making her writhe under him.
"Your mine!" he snarled, ripping his mouth away. Plunging low upon her neck, and biting down on her hard.
She sucked in a couple deep breaths, before screaming out in pain. His teeth going deep, drawing blood. He quickly made amends by kissing the wound tenderly. Dipping his hand under the band of her underwear. His finger's probing her gently.
Another more lurid moan escaped her, her mind was lost in a haze of forced desire. He was taking her, controlling her body and her pleasure. Her skin was tingling, her whole body shivering with fear as much as lust.
She couldn't speak...couldn't even think. As his fingers plunged deep inside, strong and persistent. Drawing the most seductive sounds from her strained throat. Stroking her inner core with a fierce some need to bring her to completion. Commanding her to cum for him, as he thumb circled the bundle of flesh above her folds. She could feel herself giving in, growing slick upon his invading fingers.
This love was possessive and intense. Fuelled by a rawness to conquer. The desire was unpredictable and unyielding like a wild fire. Raging out of control. Intent on only consuming all in its path, burning up all it's fuel until it had destroyed itself. She felt herself losing control, her body going crazy with needs of a purely carnal nature. Their was no love in this passionate display, only lust and desire. It was consuming her mind and body in powerful waves of incredible pleasures.
Leaving her breathless and arching under his hand. Her eyes squeezed closed tight, fighting with herself to hold on. As she was slowly becoming unhinged, she was so turned on and so scared at the same time. Mamoru leered down at her, proud of the ultimate control he had over her. She was as a puppet beneath him, her womanhood quivering around his fingertips.
"Please...Mamoru!" She finally cried out, forcing her climax to fade. "I'm scared." She wailed, tears finally escaping from her tightly shut eyes.
Her trembling voice and the tears he could see clear as day now, it was enough to clear his head, like a bucket of ice cold water. Mamoru pulled his fingers out of her. Staring down with clear eyes, at her delicate body shuttering beneath him.
"Oh...Kami..." He moaned, the dizzy haze of the alcohol fading as the cruel clarity of what he had done to her took hold.
She curled up protectively, as he rose off her.
"Gomen...Usako…" He moaned, heavy with guilt and self-loathing. Standing up and brushing his hands through his hair. He scrubbed his face several times trying to cure his bad judgment.
He felt like the worst person alive for what he had done. He had lost control, his greatest fear coming alive for him. Once again his body was the vessel for an evil force. He never wanted to be a puppet of darkness again! He'd had enough of that with Queen Beryl, nearly having forced him to kill his beloved while under her spell from Metalia. Only Usagi's indomitable will and literal love had saved him back then.
Staring unblinkingly in remorse down at her. As she hugged her knees up to her chest, blinking and uncertain. Her underwear still bunched up around her ankles, form fitting pink t-shirt pulled up around her breasts. The pink lace of her bra peeking out here and there. Working out silently what had just happened. Confusion, alarm and many other indescribable emotions all passed over her aroused face.
Her cheeks were flushed, hair loosened into tangles around her shoulder's. Blue pools of cerulean, wide and moist with unshed tears. She looked so shaken and hurt it was breaking him into a million pieces.
"God Dammit!" He roared, making her jerk.
He knelt before her, brushing his hand tenderly down her cheek. "I am so, so, so very sorry I did that to you." He whispered, against her ear. Seeking her forgiveness, his voice shaking with tears of his own. He had been the biggest fool tonight. He wanted to just be numb for a few hours, he hadn't been listening to her earlier. He thought he would have tonight alone. He never wanted to do that to her!
Diamond, the rat bastard made him so crazy! All the knowledge that she had endured with him making it worse on his heart and soul. Dealing with him was like repeatedly banging ones head against a rock...except banging ones head against a rock was far more fulfilling!
"I love you..." He kissed her forehead. "I love you..." He brushed his lips down to the corner of one of her wet eyes. Kissing her softly against her temple.
"I love you..." He repeated, kissing her hot cheek.
Usagi swallowed hard, her breath and her heart back under control. She finally found her voice.
"I think I liked it...scared the crap out of me at first..." she smiled coyly, as she stared out the window just ahead of the couch. "But I think I liked it." She giggled.
Mamoru slammed his head down against the coffee table.
"It's not wise to say stuff like that." He groaned. "But it's true…" She took his hands and wrapped them around her wrists again. "It's okay…I'm right here." She assured.
He had just felt like he'd been taken over by chaos and now she tells him she liked it. It made his heart beat faster in his chest as the need to consume her came back, only this time he was fully in control of himself. Chaos may have tormented him into the dominate act, but he was the master of his own mind. The cold feeling from earlier giving him the clarity he needed. He would not ever take it to far, moving only at the pace she could handle. Always maintaining an awareness of her.
It was the soft feel of her hand guiding him to her breast that had him moaning in longing. His body curling over hers lightly, giving into her body subtle demands of his more demanding nature just moments before. Even if it was tainted be chaos then it wasn't control by it now. "I want you." Her words were heady against his ear as she slowly used her other hand to toy with the elasticity of his pants.
"I want this." She guided him further over her body. He finally gave in and latched his lips back to her neck. Suckling down on the bite mark he'd made earlier. Knowing she would have to wear make up to hide it at school. Then again perhaps Owen and Amber would see it and leave her and him alone as well. His other hand now clasped lightly around hers slid into her hair, cupping an odango as he angled her head for better access to his kisses.
"Mamo – chan..." she groaned lightly, wishing for his more dominant nature to come out. She felt as if it were a slow pace now, as if he were nearly afraid to harm her. Getting a devilish idea she hooked her left leg around his own and used it to roll him over onto his back. Shocked by the move he watched in fascination as she took her shirt off and revealed her equally pink bra beneath her. "I'm serious Mamo – chan…or do you need some more time to think things over again?" she near mocked.
It took mere seconds for him to decide as he sat up in a flash and crushed her lips into his own, merging them together like a freight train. She accepted it eagerly as he grabbed her, hauled her as close as possible before rolling back over on top of her. His lips now everywhere there was skin now. Then in one swift movement he had ripped her bra off of her form. Making her grin like a mischievous cat.
"Don't stop." She called. He pushed up only enough to yank with enough force, her panties off the rest of the way. In one fell swoop those were torn from her body, "Oh kami!" she nearly screamed from the sensation, "You are so paying for a new set of those!" she reprimanded. He merely smiled, already thinking of things he'd like to see her in, "Happily. Sides it's about time I pick some bra and panty sets out for you."
Then a cocky grin set on his face, "Of course a sexed up version of your Sailor Moon outfit would work nicely to!" she smiled, "When I get my old power back, you, me, rooftop, we're doing it right with me as Sailor Moon, Mr. Tuxy." She giggled, "Tuxy?" he furrowed his brows, not liking her joke. "Yup." She answered. "Oh you are so paying for that." He went from wanted to take her to taking her in seconds flat.
Of course the out-come changed when the two panting for breath felt the need rising once more and attacked each other with lips teeth and tongue. She ripped the drawstring pants down and felt his member harden as she stroked him. His tip now slathering her with fluid as he grunted in response to her bold move. "Oh kami, I wanna take you so hard…" he growled out, "Please, don't leave us waiting." She begged.
Kicking off his pants having nothing else on beneath, he entered her in one swift stroke. A deep penetration inside of her that had the both of them moaning in delight. Gathering both of her wrists into one hand once more he held her pinned as his other hand raised her right leg up and over his shoulder, making the penetration even deeper. "Oh kami yes!" she screamed. He smiled in male pride.
Long hard thrusts had him grunting with effort but loving every second of it. He wanted to make her feel him, to own her, make her his, make it KNOWN that she was his and no one else's. So Diamond got to talk to her for a few hours, it was nothing compared to the time they spent together, to the time they would have for the rest of their lives together. He would try to avoid letting his jealousy make a path for chaos again.
It was when she thrashed beneath him, signaling she was about to come that he tried to slow his thrusts down. But she looked to him pleadingly. She needed him, she needed this as much as he did. With a nod of understanding he sped up and increased the depths of his thrusts, going in even deeper than before. Her legs bouncing in rhythm to his bodies movements. A near overwhelming sensitivity to her hot core.
His pace quickening as he felt her muscle clench in an unmistakable intent around him. Feeling like he was on fire he sped up even faster. The bouncing of her chest in front of him mouthwatering as he devoured the sight. However as much as he wanted to taste he was going to fast to even get his mouth around a nipple. Instead he ducked his head briefly in the crock of her neck to lick at her skin before biting mildly at it.
Her moan of approval did him in as he changed positions. Raising both legs up to his shoulders, he bent her nearly in half as he shifted her lower body onto his lap. With the new position he could feel himself sink in even deeper as he began a freight train pace and relentlessly pounded into her. Her final screams of passion and desire bounced off the walls as he came himself with a strangled shout of need. A need to claim her body, mind, heart and soul as his own.
Now breathless and tired, he picked her up and carried her gently to bed. As he curled up behind her, threw his arm around her chest over her breasts, concealing her form view since the sheets were mostly off of them. Before throwing his leg over hers. The act making her smile before sleep claimed her exhausted body. "You were probably right, about not saying that…" he stiffened, "But I'm glad I did." His body relaxed as they drifted to sleep. A new more bold beginning to their love life.
