Author Note: Well this is my first time writing something other Kagome/Sesshoumaru or an OC/Cannon character. So i'm working with new territory now. The characters are going to be a little OC even though I'm going to try to keep them close to their original personalities.
A Twist InTime
Usagi couldn't believe it, everything, everyone, was gone. There was nothing left of the place she once called home. She remained on her knees, in the middle of the rubble and debris that had once been Tokyo tower. All around her was devastation and destruction, not a body to be seen, it was a kingdom of isolation. Her scouts, her lover, there wasn't a sign of them left, Chaos had wiped them out completely. A fragile hand lifted to the brooch that hung from her neck, the warmth of the silver crystal filling her cold form. A flash of light shot from it as the star seeds of her friends and lovers appeared before her, she held her arms out around them, tears falling from her eyes. Their star seeds had survived, there was still hope, with their power she could become Sailor Cosmos again, she could bring them back.
"Usagi, don't do it," she gasped, as Mercury's star seed floated to her, "don't use your life force to bring us back."
"But Ami, if i don't you'll...," she didn't want to say, that if she didn't they would stay dead forever.
"Hey, we've died a ton of times," came Makoto's voice, Juipter's star seed floated forward, "so this is nothing new."
"But this is different, i won't ever see you again," tears flowed from Usagi's eyes as her shoulders shook.
"Come on meatball head, you know that's not true," Rei's voice reached her, as Mar's starseed floated forward. "We'll see eachother again, we just won't be Sailor Scouts anymore. That part of us will be with you."
"Yeah, so cheer up Usagi," Minako's cheerful voice floated over her, with Venus's starseed. "We will be with you again before you know it."
"We will always be your guardian's Kitten," Haruka's deep voice surrounded her.
"Stay strong little one, we will continue to watch over you," Michiru's voice flowed through her.
"My Queen, it is not the end, where there is life there is rebirth," Hotaru's voice replied from Saturn's Starseed.
"Your majesty, you must remain strong, your path still has yet to be revealed," Trista said regally, Pluto's starseed rose before with the outers.
"Pluto what do you mean?" Usagi asked, confused, "you said Crystal Tokyo was my future, that me and…." she started sobbing, "m...mamoru would create Crystal Tokyo, and oh no….chibi-usa…..no! Now she'll never be born!" she slammed her fists into the ground screaming in torture."
"No," Pluto said sadly, "Crystal Tokyo will not be created here, but all is not loss….look behind you princess."
"Mama…" Usagi spun around, eyes widening, behind her stood the pink-haired brat that always got her nerves. But she was never more happy to see, because it was HER brat, her beautiful daughter.
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi grabbed the little girl, hugging her close and tightly.
"Momma!" Chibi-Usa cried, tears streaming down her cheeks as she hugged her moon mama. She didn't know what had happened, she thought she had died like the other scouts. But when she awoke she saw her mother on her knees, crying, it sent pain through her heart. Her mother had lost everyone, no, she was still here, she would be with her mother.
"Pluto," Usagi choked out, while still holding Chibi-Usa tightly in her arms, "how is this possible, is mamoru alive? Does he return?"
Puto's image appeared above her starseed as she lifted her staff Mamoru's starseed lifted as his image formed, "I think it's best if he reveals it."
"Usagi, my sweet Usagi," Mamoru's eyes softened, "there is much you deserve to know, but not enough time to explain it. It hurts me to say it, but I was not the one you truly loved back at the Moon KIngdom. We were friends and I was in love with you, but it was not for me that your heart beat. There was another,"
"But how? Our memories?" Usagi was growing more confused, "my memories, they are all of you."
"Your memories were altered," Pluto replied, "It is true you two were close, the best of friends, so when the one you truly loved disappeared, taken by an enemy of his people. He became lost to us, you fell into a deep despair and fell ill. In an effort to try to save you Queen Serenity altered your memories, she hoped that the closeness you and Prince Endymoin felt would bloom into love so that your heart could be healed. It was good that you two had already been so close, if you hadn't it would have interfered with the alterations and possibly destroyed you."
Usagi fell back on her heels, her mouth was slightly open but she wasn't able to speak, pain, confusion, anger all flashed through her eyes. After what seemed like an eternity, she spoke again, "why did you not tell me mamoru, if you had gained your memories back, why did you not speak to me about it."
Mamoru sighed shaking his head, "my memories only returned after my death from Chaos."
"Pluto, you said this man, the one I was in love with, was lost to us?" Usagi questioned.
"Yes, but that has changed," Pluto replied, raising her staff again, the stone glowed as a portal opened revealing another Earth. "When your memories were altered, so were the timelines. In one timeline, you would marry Mamoru and create Crystal Tokyo. While 'He' was thrown into another timeline, his memories were not altered. Though not by his own doing, he has forgotten you, but those memories will return when he sees you. I must warn you though, more time has passed in his timeline then in yours. He had married, had a son, and his wife had passed away during an enemy attack. His son is just slightly older than your physical age, around 7."
"What will happen to me Pluto?" Chibi-Usa questioned, "Mamoru was my daddy, but if he isn't anymore how am I still here?"
Pluto smiled softly, holding a hand out to Chibi-Usa, "oh small lady, there is much you have to learn. I believe your new friends will be able to explain that better to you."
Usagi looked at Mamoru, her eyes tearing up, "oh mamoru i'm so sorry!"
Mamoru shook his head, "it's not your fault Usagi, I'm….just not the one you were truly meant to be with. But never forget, I love you, and I always will." He turned to Chibi-Usa, "and the same goes for you Chibi-Usa, you will always be a daughter to me."
"Oh daddy!" Chibi-Usa cried, she wanted to hug him but knew she would go right through his image.
"Now, it's time for you to go," Pluto turned towards Usagi and Chibi-Usa, the glow from her staff surrounding them as the starseeds flew into Usagi before the two were lifted and thrown into the portal. "Good luck my Queen and Princess."
"Pluuuuuuutttttooooooooooooooooo!" Usagi screamed, as she found herself being lifted into the air with Chibi-Usa before being thrown through the opening. She grabbed a hold of Chibi-Usa as her eyes widened, they were plummeting from the sky.
"Gaaaahhhhhhhhh!" both her and Chibi-usa were screaming as they continued to plummet, and to make matters worse, the sky had darkened and lightning crashed around them.
"We're going to die!" Chibi-usa screamed as she gripped Usagi like her life depended on it, which given the circumstances, it did.
"I swear i'll kick Pluto's ass all the way to Tarturas when i see her in the afterlife!" Usagi screamed, "gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ooooommmpppphhh!" Usagi grunted when they slammed into something hard in mid-air.
"What the fuck?!" a deep voice roared in anger.
~*~*~*~*~Vegeta's point of view ~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta had been sparring with Goku in the mountains, when a lightning storm loomed over them. But it didn't deter them as they continued their fight, Vegeta curled his fingers against his chest as energy formed in his palm, "Galick Gun!" he roared, releasing the energy.
"Kamahmaha!" Goko yelled, releasing his own surge of energy to meet the Saiyan prince's. The two energies met exploding with enough force to wipe out much of the area around them forming a large crater.
Vegeta pulled both fists in to prepare another attack, "hmph time for a double!" he started to focus on the energy when he suddenly picked up another ki, two to be exact, coming in hot. Wait...too hot, it was right above him, he didn't even have time to look up as something slammed into him from above.
"what the fuck?!" he roared in anger, as the figures fell into his arms. It was a woman and a little girl, "woman the fuck do you…" he stopped in mid-sentence at the sight of crystal blue eyes staring up at him in fright. A swirl of golden blond and silver hair like ribbons floating around them, in her arms was a little girl with pink hair whose hair was in pigtails, and wide red eyes looking up at him.
Memories flashed through Vegeta's mind, like a movie set on fast-forward, memories from long ago in the past he had forgotten about. Of a young girl with golden blond hair and crystal blue eyes just like the woman in his arms. He didn't know why, or even how it was possible, after all this time. But the scent that drifted off the woman didn't lie, it was her, the lunarian princess, 'HIS' lunarian princess.
*~*~*~*~*~ Goku's point of view *~*~*~*~*~
Goku had been ready for another of Vegeta's attacks, but something in the sky caught his eye, he was too far away to see what it was. But at Vegeta's angry roar he flew in closer, he had to shake his head in surprise, the object that had hit Vegeta was a woman and a little girl. He started laughing in shock and amusement, leave it to Vegeta to have a woman drop out of the sky right into his arms. Well after giving the man a headache from the now large bump that was forming on the sayin prince's head.
~*~*~*~*~ Vegeta's point of view ~*~*~*~*~
Vegeta snapped to attention when he felt Goku draw closer, he growled possessively, his arms tightening around the woman and child holding them closer to his chest. The scent drifted off the little girl was a mix of his lunarian princesses and someone else's. But at the moment that didn't matter, his inner beast was roaring back to life after all these years. He heard a soft frightened voice drift from inside his arms, looking down at the woman.
"..i..i'm sorry….we fell on you…." the woman looked up at him nervously, "...but..thank you...for catching us...umm..what is your name?"
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, the woman had forgotten him, but to be fair, he too had forgotten so he couldn't be angry with her, "..it is Vegeta, ..my princess…"
*~*~*~*~ all point of view *~*~*~*~
Usagi's eyes widened even more if it was possible, "how did you…..wait…" then everything Pluto and Mamoru had told her came through, "..does that mean...are you the one….the one from my past….from the Moon KIngdom?"
Goku could only float there and watch the interaction with wide eyes, he had been taken back when Vegeta growled at him, when he came closer. He slowly pieced the puzzle together with what he was hearing, the woman with golden silver spun hair was someone from Vegeta's past. And from the way the Saiyan prince was acting, someone important, someone like a lover. A crash of thunder boomed around them as the sky lit up, he was even more surprised when the two females screamed in fright and clung tighter to Vegeta.
Vegeta was about to answer her question when her and the little girl's screams of fright caught his attention, he stood there floating in shock and surprise as the two forms grabbed onto him clinging to him. Their eyes were tightly shut and both were shaking like leaves.
Usagi and Chibi-Usa had stared up at Vegeta curiously but when a loud ring of thunder crashed around them, both screamed in fright grabbing onto the man's strong form burying their faces against his chest.
"We should head back and take them inside," Goku spoke up, "looks like they're not fond of thunderstorms. And the storm is only going to get worse out here."
Vegeta held them close as he grunted an agreement, holding them steady he flew swiftly back to the Capsule Corp living quarters, with Goku right behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ At Capsule Corp *~*~*~*~*~*
By the time they had reached Capsule corp, both females in his arms had fallen asleep, it had also begun to rain but Goku flew above him shielding them from the rain. As he landed, raindrops dripped down his back and from his hair, he felt the signature ki of his son rushing out to meet them.
"Hey dad! Goten and I felt some weird ki signature a little while ago, we thought you might….know…" Trunks' sentence slowly ran off when his eyes landed on the two females in his dad's arms.
"Hey dude, did your dad tell you what it...was…" Goten ran out behind Trunks, he too stopped dead in his tracks, staring at Vegeta.
"Boys! What did i tell you about bothering your fathers right after they get back from training!" Chichi came storming out behind the boys, she was about to scold them more when her eyes landed on Vegeta. Unlike all idiot men just standing around staring at each other she jumped to action, "get those girls in here before they catch a cold! Gohan! Grab a med bag, one of them is injured!"
Vegeta snapped out of whatever daze he had fallen into at Chichi's words, glancing down and noticing for the first time, there were scratches on his princesses cheek. As well as on her arms and legs, there was also an ulgly bruise forming on her right leg. Also taking note for the first time, the outfit she wore was some frilly fuku with a skirt, and knee-high white boots. The outfit was torn and shredded, she literally looked like she had been through hell. The small child looked to be unharmed for the most part, in a white and pink version of the same fuku and skirt.
"Vegeta!" Chichi yelled from the doorway, getting the sayian's attention, "they need to be brought inside, you're all getting soaked out there."
He felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, glancing to his side, he growled slightly which only made Goku chuckle, "come on man, let's get the girls inside and have her wounds treated, then we can talk."
Vegeta carried them inside, with Goku following, they followed Chichi into a spare bedroom where he laid them down on it, he blinked in confusion as their grips tightened against his shirt. He paused at first before, using one hand to gently break their grip on his shirt. Once they were free of his shirt, the child turned clinging onto the woman, her head resting on the woman's chest.
Chichi entered followed by Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, Gohan carried the med beg over to the edge of the bed, but just as he was setting it down a deep snarl was sent his way. He looked up, eyes wide, Vegeta was actually snarling at him. He felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up as he held his hands up in a non-threatening way, backing away slowly, once he was almost near the door the snarling turned to low growling before it stopped.
Everyone but Vegeta looked at each other before looking back at the Saiyan prince, Goku slowly stepped closer, the growling began again only slightly. It was more of a warning than a threat like what had been directed to Gohan, he sighed realizing what it was, "Gohan, why don't you take Goten and Trunks and go back to the living room. Leave the treating of her wounds to your mother."
"Yeah, sure dad," Gohan agreed, he knew enough about Saiyan heritage to know that this wasn't something he wanted to mess with. "Come on guys, let's give them some space."
"But I want to stay with dad," Trunks crossed his arms, his eyes falling on the small pink haired girl, for some reason he felt he had to be protective of her just like his dad was of them.
"Boy, go with them," Vegeta growled out, but his tone softened, "we will let you know if the child awakens."
Trunks frowned but knew better than to argue with his father, especially when his father was in whatever mood that he was in, "fine…" he turned and followed Goten and Gohan to the living room.
Chichi rolled her sleeves up and, completely ignoring the two males still in the room, went immediately to attend to the young woman's injuries. Goku smiled watching his wife take charge to care for the new females, his face turned serious as he placed a hand on Vegeta's shoulder.
"Want to talk now? I may not be very bright at times, but I am certain that she is someone from your past before Frieza," Goku pointed out, "and that you have felt, or feel, the Pull around her. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you are acting as if she belongs to you."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, but he couldn't deny what Goku was saying, closing his eyes he crossed his arms turning and walking to the window. His eyes opened again, a darkness deep within them, "...she was the Lunarian Princess…"
Goku watched his old friend, though Vegeta would loudly deny they were friends, but he knew better. His eyes widened at Vegeta's words, " …'was'...?"
"When I was still a young brat back on Vegeta-sai," Vegeta started, "our planet was part of an alliance with the Lunarian Kingdom on the Moon." He paused as if searching his memories that had been unlocked once again, "their Queen welcomed my father despite the rumors and knowledge they learned of our race. Their kingdom was one of the few that welcomed the Saiyans without distrust. Father brought me to one of the meetings, becoming bored with them, I wandered off into the palace. I came upon a young girl with golden blond spun hair in the gardens, there it happened, as soon as I set eyes upon her I felt the pull. I knew my beast had found its mate, and she wasn't frightened of me."
Vegeta laughed at the memory, as he continued a smile appearing on his face, "She had come right up to me and invited me on a tour around the palace, when I told her about 'the pull', I had been worried she would be frightened away. She merely looked at me and laughed, not a cold laugh, but a warm laugh and told me that she was happy for me. We were still quite young, too young to initiate a mating, so I placed a 'promise scar' on her shoulder. I thought the Queen would be angry with me, as the princess was her only daughter, but instead she merely laughed like her daughter and welcomed me. She was overjoyed that her daughter would be promised to someone who would remain devoted and loyal to her. Father was overjoyed, it would mean a merging of the kingdoms, and allow the kingdoms to prosper and grow securely."
The smile of Vegeta's face faded as his eyes darkened and his ki crackled along his skin, "then Frieza showed, you know the story from there of what happened to me. But there was more, before I was brainwashed by Frieza, all I could think about was getting back to the Lunarian Kingdom and to her. It wasn't long after I had been in Frieza's 'care' that rumors spread through the ship, the Lunarian KIngdom had been destroyed. I didn't want to believe it, but the sharp pain that ran through blood striking my body told me otherwise. My future mate was dead, I had nothing to return too. Both the mental and physical pain of feeling the loss was horrendous, I gave in to the darkness, it was what allowed Frieza to brainwash me."
Goku could only stare at his friends back with wide eyes, the pain that his friend must have gone through, it sounded as if it had been worse then what he saw him go through when Bulma had died. He couldn't even imagine what Vegeta had had to endure, now he knew why his friend had never felt the 'pull' for Bulma. A saiyan can only fill the 'pull' once in their lifetime, for their one true mate. Many could go a lifetime without ever finding their 'one'.
He walked beside his old friend placing a hand on Vegeta's shoulder, "I said it after Bulma died and I'll say it again, I'm here for you old friend. For you and Trunks, whatever you need just ask and I'll do it."
Vegeta didn't voice his response but a nod of his head showed he understood. Chichi had been listening as she tended to the girl's injuries, she nodded her head to Goku's words, they would be there if Vegeta needed it. They were a family, and this was one family that would do anything for eachother. She sat back with a sigh once she had finished taking care of the girl's injuries, it had been a little difficult with the little girl clinging to the older one. But she was able to work around her, her eyes softened on the two, whoever they were, they must be really close. In fact they looked like mother and daughter.
She closed the med bag up wiping her brow, "alright, I did what i could, we should let them rest now. Whatever had happened must have exhausted them dearly, I'll go prepare some food in the kitchen for when they awake."
Goku walked over to his wife kissing her forehead, "thanks Chichi." He glanced over at Vegeta.'
Vegeta had turned his head when Chichi had announced she was done, he walked back over to look over the two sleeping forms. When he felt Goku watching he sighed, "...thank you...woman.."
Chichi smiled, she knew that was Vegeta speak for he was very grateful, "you're welcome Vegeta. If they need anything just let me know." Chichi rose and exited the room.
"Come on, Vegeta," Goku waved at Vegeta from the doorway, "let's let them sleep, they're safe here and you'll be a few rooms away."
Vegeta stood standing over the two forms for a few minutes, before lifting the sheets and tucking it in under the little girl's chin and around the woman's waist. He reluctantly followed Goku back to the living room only to get bombarded with questions from his son.
"Hey dad! Is the lady alright!? What about the little gir!l? Have they woken up?! Is the lady your 'one', did you feel the pull?! Will you mate with her?! Will she be my new mother?! " Trunk was jumping up and down as he rolled off question after question.
Goku was laughing his head off as was Goten and Gohan, Vegeta sent a death glare in their direction that shut Gohan and Goten up, Goku however wasn't frightened and just grinned back.
Vegeta closed his eyes taking a deep breath to calm himself before working to answer his son's questions, "yes kakarot's mate took care of her, and yes the little girl seems to be fine. both are still asleep. Yes, I did. Eventually yes if she feels the same," he paused at his son's last question, looking down at him. He knew it had to be hard on the boy, not having a mother, and he wasn't exactly father of the year, yet alone easy to get along with. "We will have to see, the little girl's scent matches her, it appears she could be her daughter. If she is, then that will mean if things progress she will become your sister. "
Trunks crossed his own arms, frowning at first before pumping his fist, "i'll protect her! Nobody will lay a hand on my sister."
Vegeta found a smirk crossing his lips at his son's words, as he placed a hand on his son's head, "...good…" Then he sighed, "remind me to never let you have caffeine."
Goten started laughing, "Too late, Trunks ate a basketful of chocolate chip cookies that mom made for when that lady and girl woke up."
Vegeta groaned, placing two fingers on the bridge of his nose, "...great…" He sat down in his easy chair, Goku in a chair across from, while Trunks, Gohan and Goten pulled out the game systems. A few hours later the smell of food drifted from the kitchen.
"Boys dinner!" Chichi called from the kitchen, as a chorus of whoops and yeahs echoed from the Sons. Soon all the Sons, Vegeta and Trunks were situated at the table woofing down dinner.
