A/N: As I'm writing this it is my birthday, I hope to get this out today since I'm only expecting a very small celebration of just some birthday cake and rest ( did not rest haha). The reason I'm mentioning this is because (as cheesy as it sounds) you all have made this a very happy 20th year for me, I have probably said this time and time again but having you enjoy these mind blurbs I spit out is just so amazing to me. I hope that in my next year I can continue to provide you some form of entertainment with this and future stories I have planned. I hope to see you all stick around with me.

Thank you always,

Odango.

Volume 2, Chapter 6: Oh, There's Trouble In Paradise.

The air is thick with tension for the next couple of days, Usagi only speaking to him when necessary but often than not Mamoru was dealt a cold shoulder from the now frigid woman. It had the father questioning his decisions but as soon as he would even attempt to rethink, Michiru's warning wedged itself to the forefront of his mind dismissing any doubts. Mamoru would wake in the dead of night to her side of the bed empty and this alone sent a chilling fear through his soul, Had he finally taken her? Did Mamoru just sleep through it when she needed his protection?

After a thorough search of the house, he'd find her asleep beside Chibi Mamo's empty crib arm outstretched from the rocking chair through the bars of the crib. Her other arm around her belly, her delicate hand resting atop of his beloved Tuxedo Mask doll which was pressed to her. Mamoru got into the routine of carrying her back to their bed each night, it was only when she was in her deep sleep that he was able to hold her or even touch her besides accidental brushes throughout the day.

Mamoru was recounting his wife's behavior to the arcade owner. "So, why is Mamoru having to go with her parents?" Motoki asked a bit confused at the story, "Just someone we are having trouble with, I was concerned they'd use Mamoru to get to us" The faded black hair being combed with shaky hands as he spoke vaguely. The vague explanation was still concerning, Usagi wasn't the type to shut herself down if anything she was the exact opposite always an open book of emotion "I feel like you're leaving out some details" Motoki pointed out. Kobayashi cleared his throat, he was sat beside Mamoru excited to have met up with the doctor "I'm here too" He said holding his index finger up. Both men looked at the nurse with a raised brow waiting for him to continue his point, "If she's upset you should just try your best to win her forgiveness, it just seems you two have trouble communicating with each other which isn't healthy for a marriage and eventually she'll get tired of the drift" Kobayashi advised. "She's Mamoru's parent too and you took over the situation without consulting her first" The nurse hesitantly added more critique to his superior.

It just stressed Mamoru more.

Motoki noticed the change in emotion on his friend, Mamoru sat with slightly widened eyes his bottom lip being chewed between his teeth. Mamoru slumped, elbows propped on the counted to support his sagged shoulders burying his face into his hands "I didn't consider that she might leave me" he whispered. Motoki shook his head at Kobayashi mouthing "Look what you did", comforting pats were given to the man's back by both men. "She loves you Mamoru, you just have to talk to her and I'm sure you'll be back to your happy selves in no time" Motoki assured with a warm smile.

With that, Mamoru set off home riddled with fear and confidence all at once. As soon as he stepped foot into their shared home something immediately felt off, he no longer felt his link to Usagi, and worry set in. Even with the countless nights, he had woken up to an empty bedside he was comforted with the fact he still felt her link, this time he felt nothing as if it never existed. "Usako!" Mamoru called out doing his best to soothe his anxiety, his heavy footsteps, and frantic heartbeat were the only things flooding his ears. The man let out the biggest sigh of relief when he met his wife in their living room the television playing quietly in the background as she greeted him with confusion at his panicked expression.

His relief was soon washed away once he noticed the faraway look in her baby blue eyes, "Are you sick?" Mamoru questioned feeling her cheeks and forehead for any temperature. "We're live at Tokyo Tower, an attack has taken place. The Sailor's have arrived and once again there is no sighting of Sailor Moon" The news anchor's voice filled the room, Mamoru turning his attention to the screen watching the live footage of the battle thinking it was just Usagi's guilt for not being there. "Is that a new Sailor? Who is that? Get a shot of her" The anchor spoke excitedly pointing to the Silver blur attacking the droids, Sailor Cosmos.

"I wonder when Tuxedo Mask will show, guy must be running late" Usagi hummed moving away from Mamoru's grasp to take a seat, "Looks pretty crazy, I don't blame Sailor Moon for not showing I don't think I could handle that" She continued. Mamoru froze in place at her words "Usagi, Who are you?" He questioned. Usagi creased her brows letting out a confused chuckle but once she noticed his seriousness she answered, "I'm Usagi" she looked at her husband as if he grew a second head. "And?" Mamoru further questioned kneeling in front of her sat form, "...and your wife?" she was now thoroughly confused. "Do you know who Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon are?" Mamoru prodded examining her reactions, Usagi laughed now she was checking Mamoru for a temperature.

"Mamo-chan, no one knows their identities that's the whole point, are you sure you're not the ill one?" Usagi asked with an arched brow. The wind was knocked out of him, his mind searching for any reasoning to this. He was definitely experienced with amnesia, could this be that? But nothing happened to her to cause that.

The news anchor's voice became frantic as the camera panned to a new figure "Seems like the ring leader to all of this? A strange looking man with white hair has appeared sending a powerful blow to the Sailors" they hurriedly spoke. He was torn between helping the girls or staying with his obviously troubled wife, "They really need as much help as they can get" Usagi chimed in watching the TV with worry.

His wife's word made his decision for him, "I'll be back" Mamoru spoke before dashing out of the home.

"You won't get away with this" Mars cried clutching her injured arm as the girls all looked at the Prince with narrowed eyes. "Seems like I already have, I'd watch the tone because it'd only take a flick of the wrist to crush you like ants" Prince Demande was cocky with his words eyeing the new Sailor with interest.

Prince Demande lifted Sailor Cosmos with ease, the Silver Sailor clutching her staff till her knuckles turned white 'Where was Tuxedo Mask?'. "And who might you be?" Prince Demande questioned pulling the Sailor close, "Why are you doing this Demande? I can't allow you to destroy this planet" Cosmos grunted feeling powerless in his intense gaze.

"Those eyes" Prince Demande spoke his breath hitching, he quickly removed the white mask that adorned her face getting a better view of the harsh look. "I could remember your beautiful eyes anywhere my love" He spoke softly his confident expression melting into one of adoration.

Tuxedo Mask arrived examining the wounds of the Senshi before turning his attention towards Demande. "It's fascinating how you're able to split into two forms, your little Crystal must be more powerful than I thought. Unfortunately for you, my love the black crystal is far more superior" Prince Demande pulled the precious body close to him holding her bridal style as he moved his eyes towards the tuxedo-clad hero.

"I won't let you take her away again Prince Endymion" Demande spoke with a sinister smile as he sent a blast knocking over the man.

Mamoru's vision was foggy as he kept his focus on Demande and Cosmos, "So you two are working together? I should've known" Mamoru spat his voice hoarse. Demande laughed removing the Crystal that rested on the paralyzed Sailor leaving behind Princess Serenity in her white gown.

"How do you not recognize your own Princess? see my dove this just proves he is unworthy of your love" Demande's words felt like heavy bricks on Mamoru's chest, to Serenity a realization hit she recognized the man holding her.

Tuxedo Mask wobbled like a newborn fawn as he rose to his feet, a piercing buzz in his ear as he blinked his eyes to get a better focus on the pair. "Let her go" Mamoru let out through gritted teeth charging up his smoking bomber. At the discovery of Cosmos identity the Senshi quickly readied their attacks, "Demande, why are you doing this?" Serenity spoke struggling to move as she did her best to avoid the hypnotizing third eye.

"You remember me now?" The Prince questioned with excitement in his voice, "Who is he Usa?" Mamoru questioned unable to process that this limp body was in fact his wife. His brain slowly piecing together the obvious signs. Usagi's faraway look, the familiar staff, the hair color, and the need to protect him from harm. A recollection of Neo-Queen Serenity's appearance at the hospital months ago was what set the final nail in the coffin.

She was separating herself into two forms, one was the regular mother of three Usagi Chiba the other was Sailor Moon aka Princess Serenity or Neo-Queen. It explained his wife's amnesia towards her hero form.

"He was my fiancé" The Princess managed to get out as she inevitably slipped under Demande's control. Prince Endymion took his own control of Mamoru, Tuxedo Mask shedding his clothes as the Prince of Earth stood in his place. "It's you" The deceased royal accused his expression turning into rage, "She never loved you, it was a forced marriage from the beginning" He yelled drawing his sword as he stood in a fighting stance.

Serenity's eyes lost all shine leaving behind an almost empty blue void, "Just give up already, Nemesis has the upper hand and soon Earth will crumble beneath my feet" Prince Demande warned his hand tilting Serenity's chin upward slightly so he could capture her lips in his own. "And your Princess will rule as my queen beside me as she was meant to" He spoke against her lips, Endymion letting out a growl as he charged toward the pair his sword held firmly the Senshi following behind shooting out their attacks.

With a blink of an eye, the pair vanished leaving behind a black haze in their wake. "Serenity" Endymion cried to the empty air falling to his knees as Tuxedo Mask took back his control and booming screams of her name were let out hoping this was a fever dream and not reality. "We're going to get her back, for now, I should scan Usagi's body and make sure this isn't detrimental" Mercury did her best to soothe Tuxedo Mask.

Mamoru's teary brimmed eyes widened, his pregnant wife was at home by herself. "I need to see her" He hurriedly spoke allowing the Sailors to follow him into the night's sky.

How long could both forms be separated?
