1Chapter 11- Killer's Explanation.
AN: I have another story going too so I have a lot to juggle. Enjoy!
"So, you think Killer is the one hurting Koneko-chan?" Haruka asked Taiki. It was the next morning, Taiki had checked Seiya's room but she hadn't left the infirmary. She must've been at Usagi's side all night. She had seen Keeper and Dreamer working on something but didn't want to bother them.
"Yes," Taiki said as the she got a table for everyone to sit at. "It isn't an absurd idea after all."
"Why is that?" Makoto questioned looking up from her cereal. "Does Killer even know Usagi-chan?" Yaten nodded.
"Hai, she does," Yaten said. "But not as Usagi, only as Shimmer. She is part of Aimer's team now which makes more sense since they're sisters. Killer would often help Aimer try to hurt new Starlights."
"Does she still do it?" Ami asked. "Doesn't Kinmoku have a library or something about people's past lives? Like Kakyuu-himes files?" Taiki shook her head.
"Sadly we can't keep records past in such a public place," Taiki explained putting butter on her toast. "Plus, it would be invading someone's private life which isn't truly right either, Mizuno-kun." Ami felt a little dumb for asking now, but Taiki placed her hand on Ami's shoulder.
"Nani?" Ami asked a little confused.
"Don't feel dumb, Ami-san," Taiki whispered. "Everyone has silly thoughts once in awhile." Ami felt Taiki lean in and kiss her on the cheek. "Now, maybe we could confront Killer. See if she's the one causing Tskuino-san to have these dreams."
"She won't admit anything straight up," Makoto said with a sigh. "We could make a little wager to see if we can get her to admit anything to us." Everyone looked intrigued by what Makoto was saying. "How about we run it by Kakyuu-hime this time and have an all out battle?"
"How many people go up against Killer though?" Minako asked curiously. "I don't think it would be fair for all of us to go up against her. We should pick one, one person Usagi-chan always gets along with. That should be me!"
Everyone sweat dropped. "As the Outers," Michiru started. "We are much more powerful, no offense. But one of us might be good to do it." Hotaru cleared her throat.
"But Michiru-mama," she said looking at the aqua haired lady of Neptune. "We can't just run in and take over."
"Seems as if your little Hotaru-san there has plenty of ideas," Yaten commented.
Until now, Yaten had been completly quiet. For some reason, she hadn't made some smart ass comment about anyone decisions. Taiki noticed that and she had actually fallen asleep. Now, Minako was lying against her shoulder. Yaten turned over in her sleep and was hugging Minako.
"Aw, cute!" Hotaru said looking at what Taiki was looking at.
"Yaten," Taiki said poking Yaten. "Wake up."
"What! What!" Yaten looked at who she was hugging and didn't do anything.
"Maybe they have feelings for each other," Michiru whispered to Haruka lowly but loud enough for Yaten to hear it. Haruka giggled.
"Minako, Minako, Minako!" Yaten whispered trying to wake up the blond beside her. Minako's eyes fluttered open.
"Hello," she said to Yaten. "What happened?" she whispered lowly as everyone stared at them.
"You two feel asleep here together," Taiki said chuckling. The two blushed and just looked at Taiki. "Yes, I'll fill you two in on what we were talking about.
#%^%#^#%#^%#%#%#
Seiya hadn't gotten up at all from Usagi's side at the tank yesterday. Dreamer and Sketcher had created a little bed even for Seiya. "Fighter-sama," Sketcher said waking Seiya up. She hadn't slept much so she truly didn't wake her.
"Hai?" Seiya said looking in the tank at Usagi in the same state. She directed her attention back to Sketcher.
"I see you're still watching her," Sketcher said with a smile. "She must be very important to you, ne? Especially if you spent all night here." Seiya nodded and smiled. The tank was now filled with a yellow/green liquid.
"She's very important to me," Seiya told Sketcher. "I just hope she'll be alright. I don't know what I could do without her." Sketcher sighed and placed her hand on Seiya's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Seiya-san," Sketcher said winking. "She'll be okay. We're just searching through memories too."
"I thought you were going after dreams?" Seiya questioned Sketcher and Dreamer came into the room.
"We are," replied Dreamer. "But we are looking if there is any connection to her dreams and her memories. Such as a person or object." Seiya only nodded, thank goodness there were senshi like Dreamer and Sketcher to get this type of job done. Dreamer left the room with a few stats.
"Seiya-san, just to ask what kind of relationship do you have with Usagi-hime?" Sketcher questioned as Seiya blushed and twirled the blanket that had been on her since she woke up.
"Well, we were on Earth I loved her and she didn't love me back," Seiya said twirling the blanket still. "Now, she's here and returning my feelings...so I guess you'd classify us as a couple."
"I never have time for love," Sketcher said looking as Usagi in the tank. "I'm always busy with my studies or working here to get money to support my family."
"Gomen ne," Seiya said to Sketcher. "Gomen ne for making you feel uncomfortable. It's just until I went to Earth I had no idea how to love or how people loved each other." Seiya put a hand up to the tank and touched it. "But she taught me how to love."
"It seems like you learned a lot down there," Sketcher said. "I'll have to go to Earth eventually." Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. Sketcher got up to check it.
"What's wrong?" Seiya asked getting up to look at the scanner with Sketcher.
"It seems something could've been found, a connection," Sketcher said. "Dreamer!" Dreamer rushed in the room and saw Usagi breathing fast.
"Connection? To what!" Dreamer said looking at Usagi breathing as fast a humanly possible.
"I don't know, open up the tank now and scan her forehead!" Sketcher demanded. Seiya felt hopeless, she wished Odango didn't have to go through this at all. She almost felt tears coming on. They soon started to roll down her face and falling on the ground.
"Seiya?" a voice asked drawing her attention to see what was going on. It was Rei. "What happened to Usagi-chan?" After Rei, Makoto, Minako, Yaten, Taiki and Ami came in.
"They said they found a connection to a memory and dream," Seiya said still crying as Taiki and Yaten went over to Seiya. "Demo...I can't just sit here and wait! I want to help!"
"Seiya, calm down," Taiki said. "Connection, ne? Sketcher!" Sketcher had been in a separate room with Dreamer who was looking after Usagi. Sketcher came in a bowed to Taiki.
"Hello, Taiki-san," she said happily. "What's wrong?" she saw Seiya crying and handed her a tissue.
"Seiya's sad about Usagi-san's condition," Yaten answered for Taiki. "She wants to help but I don't know if she can." Sketcher rubbed her chin and thought for a second while tapping her heal on the ground.
"Seiya, all I can think is of you entering her dream," Sketcher said. "Demo, in a case like this it's far too risky. Especially if a connection between a dream and memory have been made."
"I'm useless," Seiya said crying as the inners ran over to her. "I swear, whoever did this to her I'm going to kill them right now!"
"Speaking of killing," Taiki said trying to calm their leader down. "We were just going to speak to Killer and make a wager with her."
"Wager?" Seiya questioned. "What happened yesterday?" Ami went through the process and explained they went to Pitcher's home and discovered Killer was one of Pitcher's and Aimer's sister. "I thought that Aimer only had one sister?"
"Turns out that was a lie," Rei said as Ami nodded. "She has many, remember the folder? Everyone is going to talk to her. Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto are already on their way there. We came over to get you."
"I can't leave Odango," Seiya told Rei. "I can't leave her." Seiya ran up to the glass that now seperated her and Usagi. "I can't leave her at all. If I did, I'd never forgive myself."
"Didn't you want to hurt the person who did this to her?" Yaten asked grabbing Seiya's shoulder. "You can do that since we may know the person who did it." Seiya whipped around to face Yaten.
"Who? Who Yaten!" she screamed grabbing the smaller lights shoulders. "Onegai." Tears streaked down Seiya's face.
"Killer," Taiki said for Yaten. "Remember when Usagi first got here and how Aimer's team ganged up on her like they did for every noob?"
"Hai," Seiya said letting go of Yaten's shoulders, dropping her on her butt as Minako helped her up. "But if they did it to every person, why choose Odango to torture?"
"I think that Killer somehow discovered that Usagi was Sailor Moon," Taiki told Seiya. "And I remember hearing awhile ago how much she hated her."
Flashback...
Taiki was sitting under an umbrella hooked up to the table. It was spring, the Starlights had the day off. Seiya was roaming the gardens and Yaten was out shopping. Taiki decided to write poetry instead.
"Sailor Moon." Taiki heard someone say. "Going and defeating Galaxia like that."
Taiki saw Killer and Aimer who were sweating. They must've come back from training, Taiki looked back down at her book trying not to eavesdrop on the conversation too much. "Why are they talking about Sailor Moon?" she asked herself.
"I hate her," Killer said. "She shouldn't just go around and do things like that!"
"She is quite decieving, that little witch," Aimer said taking a sip from her bottle of water.
"Defeating Galaxia would've got me to me Kakyuu's top senshi! A space that all fight for," Killer said angrily pounding the table.
"Demo Killer," Aimer said. "Sailor Moon has nothing to do with Kinmoku, I highly doubt that anybody does."
"I heard Fighter, Maker and Healer did," Killer told Aimer. "They supposedly went to Earth to find the Princess and when they returned Kakyuu gave the spot to Fighter-baka!"
"Honto! That's not fair," Aimer said. "Why would Fighter get top position if she did nothing?"
"She helped Sailor Moon often apparently," Killer said. "I can't forgive any of those bakas!"
"You mean Fighter-baka, Healer-baka and Maker-baka?" Aimer asked as Killer nodded. "If they show their faces it will be a show down."
"Maska," Taiki said closing her book and walking away.
END OF FLASHBACK...
"So, if Killer hates Fighter too why wouldn't she of attacked her?" Minako asked Taiki totally confused.
"She might being getting rid of Usagi first then Seiya," Taiki said.
"Let's go to her!" Rei said. "I feel like kicking some ass, she hurts my princess and I can't forgive her for that." Everyone transformed and ran off. Before Fighter left she entered the room and kissed Usagi's unconscious form on the lips.
"Fighter..." Usagi muttered ever so lowly watching Fighter run off as she closed her eyes once again going back to her unconscious state.
"Dead Scream!" Pluto said as a purple sphere came from her staff and glided towards Killer.
"World Shaking!" Uranus yelled as a yellow ball similar to Pluto's formed going to the time senshi's sphere. Pithcer and Killer were up against the four outers.
"Unlike you, I have more than one power," Killer said with an evil smirk.
STAR STICKING BLADES!
"Stop right there!" said a voice blocking the attack.
"Who's there?" Killer asked as Pitcher ran off. "Pitcher, where are you going? You're such an unloyal sister! Aimer was so much better." Pitcher had ran off so far.
"You're hurting lovebirds and for that, we can't forgive you," said another voice. Killer directed her attention back to the four shadowed figures.
"We are the Sailor Team! Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter!" they all said together.
"What are you going to do to me?" Killer asked as the inners joined the side of the Outers.
Suddenly, there was snapping of fingers. "Who's there now?" Killer complained.
"Pentrating the darkness of night," Healer said.
"The air of freedom breaks through," Maker said.
"We are the three sacred shooting stars," Fighter said.
"I know who the hell you are, now what the hell do you want?" Killer asked. "I was about to go into town and get a manicure." Everyone sweat dropped and shook their heads.
"I know you're torturing my Odango!" Fighter spoke up as tears were evident in her eyes. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER?"
"Fighter," Healer said as Maker and herself held Fighter back from almost killing the girl. "We can talk this out." Maker added after.
"I know that Shimmer-san is Sailor Moon," Killer admitted crossing her arms. "I would've never thought that powerful Sailor Moon would leave her own planet. How sad, she left all of you." Killer directed her attention to the inners and outers. "Don't you feel betrayed?"
"Shut up!" Venus said. "VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN!" A chair appeared around Killer.
"We honestly should take you to Kakyuu," Pluto said bending down to Killer who was now on the ground in a circle of hearts. "But we want some explanations from you." Fighter, Maker and Healer detransformed but instead of their original form, there was their male forms.
"Why are you guys now?" Venus asked looking at Yaten. "Not that I'm complaining, I like you in both forms Yaten-kun." Yaten blushed, she liked him in both forms? Yaten smiled at Venus who laughed.
"We are dragging this little bastard off to the infirmary to apolgize to my Odango!" Seiya said as he started to drag Killer in the chains. "First, I want to deal with her personally."
"So would you like it if we go wait for Usagi-san to wake up?" Yaten questioned their leader as he and Taiki changed back into female.
"Please do so, I won't be too long!" Seiya said with a smirk as everyone detransformed besides Venus.
"Would you like the chains tighter, Seiya?" Venus questioned.
"No, but you may want to come with me Venus," Seiya said. "Just in case the chains weaken." Venus went with Seiya and Yaten followed.
"Venus and Yaten like each other," Hotaru said as Haruka picked her up and settled her on her shoulders.
"Hotaru, don't say such things after Yaten-kun just going after Venus," Setsuna said laughing at her adopted daughter. "Sa, shall we go?"
"Yes," Taiki said. "I will inform Kakyuu-hime about who has been hurting Usagi-san this whole time."
"I will accompany you," Ami said with a smile as she linked arms with Taiki and they walked off giggling.
"Now what?" Rei questioned her remaining teammates the outers.
"Off we go to see our princess!" Makoto said with her hand high in the air. Everyone agreed and walked to the infirmary.
$#%$%$%$%$%$#
"Let me go!" Killer demanded. "Now, Seiya-baka!"
"Don't call me a baka!" Seiya said with his fist clenched looking down at Killer who was up against a tree. "You hurt my lover, my precious Odango atama. For that, I can't forgive you! Doushite? Why did you do it?"
"Seiya, calm down," Yaten said coming up to Seiya grabbing his shoulders. Seiya looked at the silver-haired girl saying this wasn't the time and directed his attention back to Killer.
"I found out who Shimmer really was," Killer said still trying to wiggle free of her chains. "She's Sailor Moon, isn't she?" Yaten's jaw dropped and Venus closed it.
"I'm not telling you anything!" Seiya said picking up Killer and putting her hard against the tree. "Venus-san, please make the chains tighter. I think they're coming a little loose."
Venus made the chains a little tighter. "Sa, where did you learn some information about Shimmer and her past?" Seiya demanded.
"I saw them at the infirmary while I was there leaving," Killer admitted. "I knew before you did." Seiya jerked back. "And then I found out you knew her then just by how much you hung around her. You really are a baka."
"You hurt my princess!" Venus then stepped in while Yaten held her shoulders, Venus still slapped Killer.
"So what?" Killer asked Venus viciously. Yaten knew she should back off now and did.
"She's in the infirmary because of you!" Venus said crying. "Her mind, what did you do it?"
"I possibly hurt her," Killer admitted.
"Seiya," said a voice causing Seiya to stop. He turned around and saw his princess and his form shimmered leaving the real Seiya, her female self.
"Hello, princess," Seiya said bowing. "Gomen ne for this sight, demo...demo Killer was hurting my Odango!" Seiya started crying again.
"Killer, you haunted Shimmer-san's mind?" Kakyuu questioned. "You will join your sister in jail, guards!" Suddenly, guards appeared and cuffed Killer.
"Fine, take me away!" Killer said not caring what happened to her now. "Just remember, Seiya-baka, your lover could be mentally or physically hurt!" The guards walked off dragging Killer with them.
"It's not over yet, is it?" Venus questioned as Yaten joined her side. Venus turned into Minako and held Yaten close to her while Kakyuu shook her head.
"No, it isn't," she apologized. "We have Killer out of the way, demo we still need to see if anything is mental or physical wrong with her."
"Killer probably did both," Seiya said. "I think in a way. Is there anything I can do to help? Please, Kakyuu-hime! I want to help my Odango, I want to help. I can stand by the sidelines and just watch anymore. I can't do such a thing, I feel useless like I'm leaving her." Seiya fell to the ground, Minako and Yaten helped her stand up.
"Fighter," Kakyuu muttered seeing her Starlights state. "You really really really love her, ne?" Seiya's head shot up showing the princess tears touching the already red skin.
"Yes," Seiya said and she suddenly fainted.
"Looks like another one to the infirmary," Kakyuu said shaking her head. "Healer and Venus, please take her to the infirmary. She must be over exhausted." Yaten and Minako picked Seiya up and followed the Princesses orders.
#%#%#%#%#%#%#%
Later that night...
"Koneko-chan?" Haruka said watching the princesses eyes flutter open. Taiki, Ami and Yaten stood around the bed along with everyone else besides Seiya.
"What happened?" Usagi asked sitting up and rubbing her head. "I feel sick."
"That might've been what Killer-baka did to you," Taiki told Usagi. Usagi looked at her confused and went through the explanation Kakyuu had given her.
"So, I need to stay here?" Usagi asked as Taiki nodded. "But why?"
"Dreamer and Sketcher along with some other Starlights need to see if you're okay before they can let you go," Taiki admitted. "At least that bitch is behind bars. She can't hurt you anymore either, her transformation brooch is gone along with any mental powers. She is now just an ordinary human."
"Sou ka," Usagi said. "Demo, where's Seiya?"
Ami sighed and Minako moved. Seiya was lying on a bed next to her. "What the hell happened?" Usagi asked trying to get out of the bed. Haruka and Makoto held her back.
"She fainted from crying over you so much," Yaten said biting down on her thumb.
"She cried that much? Was she here before?" Usagi questioned but everyone was confused.
"Do you mean before Killer was put away?" Taiki questioned as Usagi nodded. "Yes, she didn't leave your side one bit. We came to get her to get Killer put away."
"Arigato," Usagi said. "Haruka-san?"
"Hai?"
"Can you hand me a garbage can I think I'm going to be sick," Usagi said finally letting everything come out.
"Usagi, you should relax," Minako advised. Usagi grabbed her stomach. "Dreamer! Sketcher!" The two lights ran in with another younger Starlight.
"Gomen, princess Venus. What's the matter?" the younger Starlight asked.
"This is Scanner," Dreamer said. "Now, what's wrong?"
"Our princess is puking," Michiru said as their princess was rolling around clenching her stomach. Dreamer and Sketcher moved everyone away as Usagi got up and barfed again.
"I advise you all get out of here," Scanner said. "Relax out in the waiting room if you wish."
"No, they can stay here," Dreamer told Scanner as the princess was finally lying down. "We're just going to run some tests here. I advise if we do let her go, you take her to her room."
"Is this an after shock from Killer?" Ami asked as everyone looked at each other worried.
"Maybe," Sketcher said for Dreamer as the princess continued to barf making Sketcher cringe. "We'll let her take some medication and run some tests. Maybe it would be better for you to leave, ne Dreamer?"
"If we're doing tests?" Dreamer questioned helping the moon princess as Sketcher nodded. "That would be a good idea, I advise you all go and get some sleep instead. Seeing as tests are going to be ran that will lead us into the morning."
"Okay," Haruka said nodding to the Starlights which suprised everyone. "Koneko-chan." Haruka said as Usagi tried to look at the senshi of Uranus.
"Feel better," Haruka said with a smile holding Michiru's hand.
"Arigato," Usagi said falling back on the bed. Sketcher, Scanner and Dreamer gave Usagi some pain killers along with some Kinmoku pills, vompozits, hoping to remove the vomiting. Seiya had heard something hit the bed.
"Odango...?" she questioned before falling asleep.
AN: Ahh! Now what the hecks wrong with Usagi? Killer was behind this all, not Pitcher ne? I put a little twist on the story. But will Seiya and Usagi be okay? R AND R please!
