I'm going to be mixing Japanese and North American names, if you know the Japanese names for some of the people, than tell me. I'm making up a date for the androids, since I don't remember when they came. Ice Ninja Freeze says they come May 10, I might go back and change that.

Oh and from now on I'm changing Goko to Gokou and Future Trunks to Mirai Trunks, just for your knowledge.

FROM NOW ON CHIKUU IS THE DRAGONBALL Z DIMENSION AND TERRA IS THE SAILOR MOON DIMENSION.

Obvious timing for Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z timing after Trunks told them about androids (didn't tell who mother was). I never saw Stars so if there was a Sailor Chaos, oh well, let me have my senshi.

True Allegiance

Chapter Twelve: Sadness of Hotaru

Chikuu – Capsule Corp. – Usagi's Bedroom

Usagi sat up in bed later the same night, her arms wrapped around her body. "Usagi-mama, is something wrong?" a voice asked from the crib.

"No Hoto-chan," Usagi sighed without looking up and the now toddler form of Hotaru. "I see you've grown out of that crib Hoto-chan. Let's go see if Dr. Briefs is still awake."

"Dr. Briefs?" Hotaru asked.

"We're staying with a family named the Briefs, Dr. Briefs, Briefs-mama, and their daughter Bulma Briefs along with the proud Sayin-jin Prince Vegeta," she said.

"Usa-mama, why do you call this woman Briefs-mama?" Hotaru asked.

"Because that is what she wished me to call her," Usagi said. She stood and dressed in a white tank top and black jeans with combat boots. She pulled her hair into a high pony tail and put on the necklace with her brooch on the end. She than grabbed a purple dress. "This is way to big for you, but I think I can work with it."

She pulled the dress over Hotaru's head and whispered a spell that had been floating around in her mind. It was said in Tsuki-go/Lunarian and just using the ancient language made her feel good. "How's that?"

"Mama? How did you do that?" Hotaru asked.

"We can use our powers outside of transformations, now. Plus I'm unlocking powers and memories I never had before," Usagi replied as she lifted Hotaru out of bed. "Really, I wasn't even sure that would work. It was a million to one shot that that wasn't another spell or not even a spell at all."

"And you still tried it?" Hotaru asked.

"Yes because I had to face my nervousness," Usagi and Hotaru exited the room.

"Mama, I had a dream last night, I hope you can clear it up for me. I had a dream that all the senshi, except for Ruka-san and Michi-san betrayed you. They then came here and that ass-baka Mamoru kidnapped and raped you." She said.

Usagi's eyes went large. "Where did you hear such language?"

"In my dream," she said her eyes watering with tears. "Please don't yell at me, mama. I'm sorry, I won't say it again."

"It's okay, sweetheart," Usagi said stopping and kneeling before Hotaru. "It's just, I had a dream like yours." While she wrapped her 'daughter' in a hug she thought, 'I just hope he doesn't make you watch, like in my dream.'

"Mama, are the senshi coming?" Hotaru asked.

"They're already here, baby," she said. "I'm just going to focus on getting strong enough to kick their butts."

"So, your not worried?" Hotaru asked.

"To say I'm not would be a lie, but to say that I'm going to overcome my worry and continue on training, is the truth," Usagi said kissing the girl's forehead. Tears fell down her face and onto Hotaru's violet hair.

"Why are you crying, mama?" Hotaru asked, tears falling down her face.

"I'm just afraid of what will happen, because I know that some things are set in stone, and ChibiUsa, I think, maybe one of them," she whispered.

Vegeta watched from a far as mother and daughter comforted each other. He didn't know what to say, but he wanted to help Hotaru comfort the woman, he wanted to protect them from something, but he didn't know what. Above all that he was confused and despite knowing he shouldn't be witnessing this, he couldn't tear his eyes away from the tears falling from both pairs of eyes.

"Let's go find Dr. Briefs and get you a larger bed, perhaps your own room," Usagi said, sweeping her sadness away into another corner of her mind.

"Are you going to be okay, mama?" Hotaru asked concerned.

Usagi gave a weak, but fake, smile and said, "Hai, baby, I will be."

Hotaru held her hand and leaned against her forearm as they walked toward the labs.

Vegeta turned around. He walked around the long way and entered the kitchen. Usagi would have to pass through the room.

Usagi and Hotaru entered the kitchen. They had given up meeting anyone this early in the morning, but were shocked to see Vegeta making himself some oatmeal. "Do you want some?" he asked as he poured a couple other packets of the instant oatmeal into some other bowls, without waiting for a reply. He handed Hotaru a bowl.

"Thanks, Vegi-san," she said and went off to the living room to see what was on T.V.

"How did you know we were coming?" Usagi asked seriously.

Vegeta put the two bowls in the microwave and sighed, "I'm sorry, but I was on my way down when I heard your conversation," he said knowing he couldn't hide any thought from her because she could easily read his mind.

"And you listened why?" she asked as he handed her a bowl of oatmeal and a spoon.

"I couldn't help it. As much as I knew I shouldn't be watching it, I couldn't tear my eyes away. I'm sorry I pried into your privacy," he said realizing he had apologized twice in only a few minutes to the same person. He hadn't even apologized to one person ever, yet here he was apologizing to someone, a woman at that. Why was he doing this.

"I guess I should forgive you," she said. "We were in the middle of the hallway and anyone, though I had doubt anyone, could have seen us. I'm just glad that it wasn't Haruka. She wouldn't let me out of her sight if she had heard."

"Heard what?" came Haruka's voice from behind Usagi at the door. "Is there anymore oatmeal?" she added as an after thought.

Vegeta handed her two bowls of oatmeal he had made, knowing the other one wasn't far behind. Usagi meanwhile said, "Nothing, it isn't important," she said hiding her pain and sadness away.

"If you're sure," Haruka said handing the other bowl to Michiru. "But remember that you can always talk to us if you need to," she began eating. "Now I think Hotaru found a cartoon on T.V. so if you don't mind I'm going to join her," she said leaving the kitchen.

"Ruka, wait up," Michiru yelled as she fallowed her girlfriend to the living room.

"They're right to be worried," Vegeta said. "You should tell them, they are your protectors."

"I couldn't drag them into what she has already been dragged into," she said. "He's coming for me. He wants the crystal. He wants me to bend to his will. He's found a partner. They say strength in numbers, but the one I'm worried about won't show his ugliness for a long time to come."

"You're very cryptic," Vegeta said. "Do you want to go train?"

"Sure, it'll get my mind off of everything. I need that," she said.

"Good, I'm a distraction now," he said as he put his bowl in the sink. He began leaving when he said, "Coming?"

She smiled and faded out, "Catch me if you can."

"Oh, I'll catch you alright," he said running after her.

Meanwhile-Nothingness

A tear traced the tanned face of Sailor Nothingness. "I'm sorry, dear, but you're right, some things are set in stone. I wish I could change it. Luckily you will be able to change her," she said.

She turned away from the sad scene and went to her search for another time guardian. "Maybe this time I'll get it right."

End Chapter


Gomen it isn't as long as the last chapter, but I was trying to move the plot ahead.

Anyways, sorry for how long it's been, this chapter was difficult to write, and I still think it sucks. Please give me some confidence.

Next Chapter

The senshi make their presence known.
