Betrayal of the heart
Chapter Ten: You wanna take my kids?
Mamoru Chiba was livid when he found out about the twins, and he found out two months after they were born when He spotted Usagi and Demando at the supermarket with the babies. Mamoru knew right away that the babies were his, considering how old they were. She should have told him she was pregnant. Obviously she had never planned on telling him. The look on her face said it all when she stared right at him. He stalked out of the store and immediately called his lawyer. If it was a battle she wanted, than that was what she was going to get.
Usagi Tsukino was in her office when Minako and Zoicite rushed.
"Usagi, we have a problem" Minako said. Usagi realized that her babies were not with them.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Mamoru is trying to take legal custody of Kenji and Serenity" Zoicite explained. "Social Services came and took them. Mamoru is claiming that you are an unfit mother" Usagi gasped. She couldn't believe that Mamoru was doing this to her. Her worst fear was coming to life.
"Minako, I need you to find Beryl. I believe she was reborn as we were. She might be willing to help, if she knew the truth of what happened years ago. Mamoru is not going to get custody of my children, not in this life, or any life" She grabbed her purse. "I'll meet you at the law office" She flipped open her cellphone and called her lawyer to explain what was going on and that she'd be there in an hour. When she got to Demando's office, she told him what was going on and Demando agreed to let her take the rest of the day off to discuss things with her lawyer.
"I'll be over after work" He said, kissing her cheek.
When Usagi reached the Tokyo Lawfirm, Minako and Zoicite were already there with the lawyer, Hina. Hina sat at her desk.
"We'll fight him, Miss Tsukino" She said firmly. "We won't let him have the kids. He has nothing to pull against you, but we have alot against him. I promise you, I will win this fight for you"
"Thank you, So much" Usagi replied. "I can't imagine life without my kids" After Usagi left the law office, she got into her car and drove straight to her parents home. When Kenji opened the door, she fell into his arms crying. Kenji consoled his daughter and calmed her down enough to tell him what was going on. He was livid when he found out what Mamoru was trying to pull.
Beryl King was a teacher at the Jubann elementary school. When Usagi had destroyed the world, Metallia's power over Beryl had melted. When Beryl woke up, she had been full of blood and it appeared as though she had been in a car crash. Her purple dress and powers were gone, leaving her with straight long red hair, ragged jeans and a sweater. Beryl remembered everything she had done previously, and it pained her to know that she had allowed evil to overtake her, So she had made a decision. She was going to start over, go to college and become a teacher. Oddly enough, she had not run into any of the former scouts, or shittenou, she didn't even know if they were alive.
"Beryl" A voice said from the doorway. Beryl spun around, her graded papers fell from her fingers. The person in the doorway was one of the scouts, but she wasn't sure which one at the moment.
"What do you want?" Beryl asked warily, picking up the papers and setting them on her desk. The girl didn't answer right away. She walked further into the room.
"It took me forever to find you" She said. "I need to speak with you" Beryl sighed and took a seat.
"What's this about?" She asked. The girl took a deep breath.
"Mamoru" She said. "I am Minako, by the way. Aino Minako" Beryl nodded. Now she rememebered the popstar. "Mamoru has cheated on Usagi"
"What does that have to do with me" Beryl asked. Minako sighed.
"Beryl, I know you were hurt when Endymione dumped you for Serenity" She said slowly. "But that was never Serenity's intention" Beryl sat in a chair and rubbed her temples.
"What are you talking about?" She asked. "As far as i'm concerned, Serenity stole Endymione, but that doesn't even matter to me anymore. I am sorry for what I did, isn't that enough. Can't you guys leave me alone?" Minako sighed.
"I wish we could" She said, "But Serenity didn't steal Endymione, Endymione stole Serenity" Minako went on to explain what Endymione had done and how he had given a love potion to Serenity so that she would break up with Dimande. She also explained about the twins and what Mamoru was up to. Beryl sighed as she realized that Minako's words rang true.
"What do you want me to do?" She asked.
"Talk to Mamoru, try to make him see reason, at least help testify that Usagi is a good mother and can take care of her children" Minako pleaded. Beryl sighed.
"I will see what I can do" She said.
"Thank you" Minako replied. She left the classroom, feeling better and more confident that they would win this battle.
