SailorStar9: Anyway, Chapter 35 goes up. This is Chapter 36. To all my non-reviewing readers, I love you all! Will love you more if you review! *hugs all round!*
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except the plot bunny and the pairing.
Chapter 36: The Demon of Disaster
Deep within the cold bowels of his ice prison, the humanoid form of the Demon of Disaster, Azazel, smiled gleefully as he heard the possessive thoughts of the jealous Moon Princess. His plan of escaping his prison was coming together even better than he had expected and had dared to hope. The Moon Princess will be the one to free him. Soon, everything will be in place and the plan will be put in motion. His freedom from the accursed ice which the Senshi of Mercury had put him in so many millennia ago was at hand.
Soon.
Very soon.
Tsukino Usagi screamed with all her might in the privacy of her bedroom as she slammed a frustrated fist onto her dressing table.
So close.
She had come so close to seducing Miura away from Ami once and for all when she found him waiting for the ice Senshi in the ice cream parlour. She had been certain that once she put on her charms on him, it would be enough to convince Miura that it was a mistake for him to date Ami. Then, it will be so simple for her to step in and fill Ami's shoes, becoming a future wife for the blonde shooting guard.
But Miura flat-out ignored her.
Then, Ami entered the ice cream shop, making things worse when she slid into the seat beside Miura and kissed him. It had been the last shard of proof the couple had offered the reincarnated Moon Princess that they were together and she never stood a chance.
Miura understood what Ami wanted without a word spoken as he placed the ice cream order.
The rumours had already begun circulating among the Senshi about the couple; rumours that Miura had planned to propose to Ami once they graduated from university and about how Ami would be the one and only woman to stand by the Sun Lord's side as his wife.
Usagi's only comfort that it was only an idle rumour, and rumours can be changed.
Will you be the one to change the rumour? A disembodied voice taunted.
"Who's there?" Usagi whispered in shock. "Who said that?"
You have nothing to be afraid of, Tsukino Usagi. The voice soothed. I am a friend.
"How do you know my name?" Usagi frowned.
I know quite a bit about you, Moon Princess. The voice chuckled. I know how much you want Solaris.
"Yes!" Usagi nodded feverously.
And do you want the Senshi of Mercury gone? Permanently?
"I…" Usagi was hesitant. "What is the catch?"
The satisfaction of knowing that justice is rendered to a wrong that was done. Follow my instructions to the latter and you'll get what you so justly desire.
"Tell me what I have to do." Usagi requested, her desire for Miura outweighing her conscience. Her smile grew wider as the spirit whispered its plan into her ear. Soon, Miura, I will make you mine.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
