Moon Fury
By Lady_Allure
A Sailor Moon and Fatal Fury crossover.
You know I don't own Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon or Fatal Fury, but
the fic is mine, on to the story.....
Part 3
"Demo, I don't understand.....What would this Billy guy want with me?"
Usagi asked, placing an ice pack on Makoto's forehead.
"Itai." Makoto murmured, flinching from her position on the couch.
"Ara.....Gomen Mako-chan." Usagi apologized, smiling sheepishly from
bumping her friend's ribs unintentionally.
Terry shook his head, and leaned back into the chair he was sitting in, thinking. "My guess is that he may be working for Geese Howard." He said, narrowing his eyes.
"Geese Howard?" Usagi looked at him, arching an eyebrow. "Who's that?"
He closed his eyes and got up, standing in front of her apartment window, staring blankly out at a nighttime Tokyo. "Geese Howard is someone I
defeated once, and he's been my enemy for years." Terry answered,
slipping a hand into his pocket.
Usagi frowned and stood beside him. "If this Geese Howard guy is after me,
why then?" She asked.
Terry sighed. "I don't know Usagi, demo.....If he is, then you shouldn't
stay her.....It's too dangerous."
"Hmph.....How would you know what danger is?" She said sarcastically.
"I've been through a lot more than you know Terry.....Why can't I live
a peaceful life for once." Usagi folded her arms, blinking back tears.
Terry stared at her, confused about her last statement, but knew she was
hurting from something. Gently, he placed both of his hands on her shoulders, giving her a comforting gaze. She looked up at him, her eyes misty with
tears.
"Usagi.....I know we don't really know each other that much, but since I
know Geese Howard a lot more than I would like to.....I offer you my help,
if you want." He said finally, smiling faintly.
She nodded. "Arigato Terry....."
"Remind me why we're going with him?" Makoto said, packing her things.
"We need his help Mako-chan, he knows more about this new enemy, then we
do." Usagi answered, closing her suitcases, and pulling on a jacket.
"What about College?" She asked, zipping up her bag.
"We can go back once this is all over." The blond haired girl replied.
"Dooshite, I thought everything was over once Chaos was defeated, now
this....." Makoto scowled, putting a hand on her hip.
"I know what you mean.....We had peace up until now, demo I still don't
know what they want from me." Usagi agreed, shaking her head.
Makoto sighed. "Yeah.....It looks like we're on our own on this one.
Usagi nodded. "Hai.....The others are out of reach, and I don't want to
drag them back here."
At the airport, Usagi stood by a window, looking out at the city she had
grown up in, now she was leaving, for who knows how long. "Sayonara Tokyo."
She whispered, bowing her head.
"Oi Terry!" She heard, and turned around to see Joe Higashi running up to
them, waving his arms frantically, followed by a handsome couple.
"You didn't think you were going without us did you." Joe asked, still
wheezing a bit, trying to catch his breath.
Makoto's eyes lit up suddenly. "Daijoubu ka?" She asked.
Joe looked up, grinning. "I'll be as good as new, as soon as I catch my
breath." He joked.
Makoto laughed, smiling.
Usagi chuckled; glad to see that Makoto was happy.
"Flight to Kobe is now boarding." A voice said through the intercoms.
"That's us." Terry said, picking up his bag, looking at Serena.
She nodded faintly at him, and picked up her own bag, walking up to the
rest of the group.
"Usagi. I'd like you to meet a few friends of mine." Terry smiled,
gesturing towards his three comrades. "I'm sure you know Joe Higashi."
Usagi giggled. "Who doesn't?" A sly grin covered her face, glancing at
Makoto, who had hearts in her eyes.
Terry chuckled. "And this is my younger brother Andy and his girlfriend
Shiranui Mai."
Usagi bowed. "Hajimemashite."
"Same to you Usagi." Mai bowed back, smiling.
"Like wise." Andy agreed, also bowing.
"Oh and this Usagi's friend Kino Makoto." Terry included, pointing at
her.
Makoto smiled and waved at them. Andy and Mai grinned and nodded at her.
"Now that the introductions have been made, I think it's time we get
going, before we miss our flight." Joe suggested, an eyebrow arched
playfully.
"Hai." Terry nodded, and began following his friends, when he noticed
Usagi hadn't moved. She stood there, staring out the window. A sad
expression oh her face. He slowly approached her. "Usagi." He said.
"Huh." She murmured, still in a daze.
"We'd better go." He said, softly.
She bowed her head, nodding and made her way to his side, walking beside
him into the terminal.
Usagi leaned back into her seat, placing her bag by her feet, careful not
to drop it. She listened to the voices in back of her, which she could
guess was Terry's brother Andy, and his girlfriend Mai. They were talking
about something. Then she heard Joe and Makoto laughing about something
in the seats in front of her.
"They really seem to be hitting it off." She said to herself, raising her eyebrows.
"No kidding." Said Terry, who was seated beside her.
Usagi flushed, laughing a bit. "Did I just say that out loud?" She grinned sheepishly.
Terry chuckled and nodded. "Yeah you did."
She shook her head lightly and smiled. "Me and my big mouth."
Terry shrugged. "We'll it's only natural to make observations, since it's
so obvious how Makoto feels about him."
"I guess your right." Usagi nodded, putting on her seat beat, then looked
out the small window. "I'm really going to miss Tokyo."
Terry placed a hand her shoulder. "You'll return soon." He said, giving her a reassuring look.
She looked at him, blinking, and then smiled faintly. "Hai." She answered, before the plane started to take off.
An hour had gone by, and Terry leaned back into his seat, trying to relax.
"If Geese Howard is behind this, then what does he want with Usagi?" He
thought, narrowing his eyes, when felt something touch his shoulder. He
looked down, to see that Usagi had fallen asleep, and was leaning her head
on his shoulder.
He studied her more closely; she had long blond hair, tied into an odd hairstyle, which he'd never seen before, very fined and delicate features,
and a pretty smile, beautiful in other words. "What is it about her that
makes me want to protect her?" He thought, hesitantly touching her cheek.
Her eyelids flickered, and she opened them slowly, feeling the touch of
Terry's fingertips. She looked up, staring into eyes that were a light
sky blue. "Did I fall asleep?" She asked, keeping her head nestled on his shoulder.
"Yeah." Terry nodded once, lost in the gaze of her sapphire eyes.
"Are we almost there?" She blinked, sitting up as Terry's hand moved
from her cheek to his lap.
"About thirty more minutes before we land." He answered, still looking
at her.
She blushed slightly from his intense gaze, and stared out the window,
folding her arms. Terry was unsure of what to say. She was unlike any
girl he ever met. There was something about her. He closed his eyes and
leaned back into his seat, sighing, while Usagi pulled on a set of ear
phones to listen to some music, and read some manga, until they landed.
"Sugoi Joe! I've never ridden in a limo before!" Makoto squealed, staring
at the silver stretch limo in front of her.
Joe shrugged, grinning. "What can I say, only the best."
"Show off." Mai frowned slightly, putting a hand on her hip.
Usagi raised an eyebrow at her friend's reaction, and then chuckled.
"What a trip, I'm so sleepy." She commented, yawning, and picked up her
luggage.
"Yeah me too." Terry agreed, coming up behind her, watching Joe and Makoto
talk about the limo.
"Where are we going anyway?" Usagi asked, looking up at him.
Terry smiled slightly. "To a friend of ours." He said, looking at Andy and
Mai, who both nodded at him.
Usagi grinned in response.
"Minna. Are we going to stay out her all night or what." Joe said, looking
at them, a side grin on his face. "Ikuzo."
" Yosh." Terry replied, and then glanced at Usagi. "Shall we."
She nodded, and followed him to the limo, watching as Joe gestured for
Makoto to get in first, giggling at her friend's expression, which was
major blushing. Andy and Mai also followed them, and climbed in after Terry
and Usagi. Once they were all seated in the back, the shofer closed the
door, and they left the airport.
Terry helped Usagi out of the limo and took one of her suitcases.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"No problem." He grinned, and led her to the Japanese style building in
front of them.
"A Judo Dojo?" She raised an eyebrow as she followed him.
Terry looked at her, smiling faintly. "A friend of my brother's teacher
lives here, he's offered to put us up while we're here in Kobe."
"Oh." Usagi replied, tilting her head to the side, studying the place.
Mai held on to Andy's arm and pulled him along, following Terry and Usagi.
He ended up carrying not only his bags, but Mai's as well.
"Mai." He stammered, struggling to keep his grip on the luggage.
"Hai." She cooed, grinning up at him.
Andy raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any idea how heavy these are? What
do you got in here?"
Mai chuckled. "Does it matter?"
Andy shook his head, sighing.
"Now that's what you call a serious relationship." Joe joked, walking
beside Makoto.
She laughed in response.
"Jealous?" Mai teased, glancing back at him.
"Mai!" Joe's eyes widened in embarrassment, giving Makoto a sheepish
grin.
Makoto giggled at his expression.
Usagi turned and looked at her, arching an eyebrow at how Makoto was
acting all giddy around Joe. She chuckled and shook her head. 'To think,
I used to act like that around Mamo-chan.' She thought, and then her
expression saddened.
"Something wrong Usagi?" Terry asked, noticing her expression.
"Nani?" Usagi looked at him. "Oh. No. I'm fine, just thinking."
Terry was about to ask more when the Shoji screen doors opened.
"Terry.....You sure got yourself a pretty girlfriend." Jubei smiled.
Terry raised his eyebrows in shock, chuckling a bit. While Usagi turned
bright red from embarrassment. "Uh.....Jubei sensei.....She's just a
friend." Terry explained.
The older man laughed. "That's what they all say."
"Nande?" Terry arched an eyebrow, grinning slightly, and turned to Usagi,
whose cheeks had a tint of pink.
"It's good to see you all again." Jubei grinned, scanning the group,
but narrowed his eyes on the brown haired girl. "Makoto?"
Makoto looked up at him, frowning a bit, then her face lip up.
"Ojiisan-chan!" She exclaimed, running up to the short man, and hugged
him.
"Ojiisan?" Everyone's eyes widened.
"Jubei sensei. I never knew you had a grand daughter." Andy said, arching
an eyebrow.
Makoto stepped back, but kept a light grip oh his hand. "He is my mother's father." She answered.
Jubei smiled up at her, and motioned for them to follow. "I will explain everything later, for now, let's go inside." He suggested, and began
walking through the screen doors, Makoto beside him.
Everyone looked at each other and shrugged.
"Might as well go in." Joe grinned, picked up Makoto's luggage, and
entered the dojo. Andy and Mai went in next. Terry shook his head; a
small grin curving his lips, and lead Usagi through the doors.
Jubei lead Usagi and Makoto to their separate rooms, which were right
next to each other. Terry's was down the hall, across from Andy and
Mai's.
"I'll expect to see for you tea Usagi." Jubei smiled, before closing the
shoji screen doors to her room.
Usagi smiled and set her bag onto the futon, sitting on her knees, and
opened it.
"Kondo. I was beginning to think I would have to spend a few more hours
in there." Luna stated, and then jumped out of the bag and onto the floor, stretching her body from being crunched up.
Usagi giggled. "Gomen ne Luna, demo, the trip was long, and I had to stash
you somewhere."
The cat sighed, but nodded. "Hai, I know Usagi-chan, demo I have a question.
Can we trust this guy Terry? I mean, you don't really know him."
"I may not really know him, but he knows more about this new enemy." Usagi answered, getting up, and unpacking her suitcases. "Not only that, but he
helped me an Makoto when we were attacked by those guys."
"You told me they were after you correct?" Luna asked, sitting down.
Usagi nodded, hanging her cloths up in the closet. "I don't know why."
She bowed her head, turning, and staring at the cat.
Luna gave her a knowing look, sensing the girl's sadness about leaving her peaceful life once again. "We'll get through this Usagi-chan. Somehow. And
I'm here if you need me."
"I know. Thanks Luna." Usagi smiled faintly, taking a seat beside the cat,
and lifted her up, giving her a gentle hug, allowing her tears to fall.
The sound of knocking caused her to look up. She set the cat down, and
wiped away her tears. "Hai?" She asked as she stood up.
"Just me. Terry." Said a male voice. "Mind if I come in?"
"Iie. I don't mind." Usagi replied.
The screens door opened, and Terry walked in, a small hint of a smile
curved onto his lips, but quickly changed to a startled look. "You
brought a cat?"
Usagi gasped, turning, and giving Luna a look, then turned back to Terry, grinning sheepishly. "Yeah." She nodded. "I couldn't leave Tokyo without
her."
Terry chuckled and walked over to the small feline, kneeling down, holding
out his hand. The cat sniffed his hand. She meowed and licked his palm.
"What's her name?" He asked as the cat purred, and rubbed her chin against
his fingers.
Usagi giggled. "Her name is Luna. And it seems that she likes you."
Terry smiled at the cat, running a hand over her fur, and looked up at
Usagi. "She's a beautiful cat."
Luna meowed happily, blushing.
Usagi laughed.
"Jubei sensei wanted me to tell you that tea will be served shortly." He informed her, getting up facing her.
Usagi nodded. "Oh yeah. Tea. Just don't tell me it's a tea ceremony." She
joked.
Terry shook his head, chuckling lightly. "I assure you it isn't." He said, grinning.
"So you see, my mother's maiden name was Yamada, before she married my
father, and that's when her last name became Kino." Makoto explained to
the group seated at the small table.
"Soo ka." Joe raised his eyebrows.
"Now it makes sense." Andy agreed.
"How come you didn't tell me you had a grandfather?" Usagi asked, sipping
her tea.
Makoto bowed her head. "I didn't know he was still alive." She answered, glancing at Jubei. "Last time I tried visiting him in Kumamoto, his dojo
was closed, and there were no indications of where he went."
Jubei, who was seated beside her, placed a hand on her shoulder. "Gomen
Makoto. I also tried reaching you in Tokyo, but I couldn't find you either."
He smiled. "I'm glad your here now my granddaughter, it has been too long."
Makoto smiled at him, nodding slightly.
The group stared at the pair in awe, not saying anything for a moment.
Then Joe grinned. "Oi Makoto. There's this really cool club I know of,
want to go?" He asked.
Makoto looked at him surprised, blushing. "Hai." She replied, smiling.
Usagi smiled at her friend, raising an eyebrow. 'That should satisfy her,
since she's so in love with him.' She thought, giggling a bit.
"Hey don't forget about us." Mai added, grabbing Andy's arm, smiling up at
him.
"I think I'll join you also." Jubei grinned, glancing at them, then looked
at Terry and Usagi. "And what about you two? Are you coming?"
Usagi's eyes widened in surprise along with Terry's. "Um.....No thanks.
I'm really tried from the long trip." She grinned.
"Yeah. So am I." Terry agreed.
Jubei arched his eyebrows, frowning slightly, and then shrugged. "Oh fine.....You two can stay her and do nothing while we enjoy a night on
the town. Right." He said, looking at the other two couples.
"Right!" Makoto and Mai answered at the same time, smiling giddily, while
Joe and Andy raised their eyebrows.
Later that night, after Joe, Makoto, Andy, Mai, and Jubei had went out.
Usagi decided to take a walk with Luna, and look around a bit. Terry told
her he was going to an arcade that was not far from the dojo, and she was curious about it.
They passed a few stores and restaurants. She bought herself a milk shake,
and decided to go to the arcade, since that was all she was interested in
doing at the moment. Besides, she wanted to challenge Terry to another game.
She allowed herself to blush at the thought of him, not knowing why, but
he made her feel a certain way.
"Why are you blushing?" Luna asked, looking up at her curiously.
Usagi grinned. "I'm not sure."
"I bet it's because of Terry isn't it." The cat arched an eyebrow.
Usagi bowed her head, nodding.
Luna shook her head. "What about Mamoru-san
Usagi turned away. "I'm not sure about him anymore Luna. We've grown
apart and....." Before she could finish, a guy stepped forward.
"You're coming with me Usagi." He smirked.
Usagi gasped, stepping back. "No I'm not!" She glared at him, and then help
up her broach. "Moon Eternal, Make Up!"

"Ara.....Gomen Mako-chan." Usagi apologized, smiling sheepishly from
bumping her friend's ribs unintentionally.
Terry shook his head, and leaned back into the chair he was sitting in, thinking. "My guess is that he may be working for Geese Howard." He said, narrowing his eyes.
"Geese Howard?" Usagi looked at him, arching an eyebrow. "Who's that?"
He closed his eyes and got up, standing in front of her apartment window, staring blankly out at a nighttime Tokyo. "Geese Howard is someone I
defeated once, and he's been my enemy for years." Terry answered,

"Usagi. I'd like you to meet a few friends of mine." Terry smiled,
gesturing towards his three comrades. "I'm sure you know Joe Higashi."
Usagi giggled. "Who doesn't?" A sly grin covered her face, glancing at

Makoto looked up at him, frowning a bit, then her face lip up.
"Ojiisan-chan!" She exclaimed, running up to the short man, and hugged
him.
"Ojiisan?" Everyone's eyes widened.
"Jubei sensei. I never knew you had a grand daughter." Andy said, arching
an eyebrow.
Makoto stepped back, but kept a light grip oh his hand. "He is my mother's father." She answered.

Usagi nodded, hanging her cloths up in the closet. "I don't know why."
She bowed her head, turning, and staring at the cat.
Luna gave her a knowing look, sensing the girl's sadness about leaving her peaceful life once again. "We'll get through this Usagi-chan. Somehow. And
I'm here if you need me."
"I know. Thanks Luna." Usagi smiled faintly, taking a seat beside the cat,
and lifted her up, giving her a gentle hug, allowing her tears to fall.
The sound of knocking caused her to look up. She set the cat down, and
wiped away her tears. "Hai?" She asked as she stood up.
"Just me. Terry." Said a male voice. "Mind if I come in?"
"Iie. I don't mind." Usagi replied.
The screens door opened, and Terry walked in, a small hint of a smile
curved onto his lips, but quickly changed to a startled look. "You
brought a cat?"
Usagi gasped, turning, and giving Luna a look, then turned back to Terry, grinning sheepishly. "Yeah." She nodded. "I couldn't leave Tokyo without
her."
Terry chuckled and walked over to the small feline, kneeling down, holding
out his hand. The cat sniffed his hand. She meowed and licked his palm.
"What's her name?" He asked as the cat purred, and rubbed her chin against
his fingers.
Usagi giggled. "Her name is Luna. And it seems that she likes you."
Terry smiled at the cat, running a hand over her fur, and looked up at
Usagi. "She's a beautiful cat."
Luna meowed happily, blushing.
Usagi laughed.
"Jubei sensei wanted me to tell you that tea will be served shortly." He informed her, getting up facing her.
Usagi nodded. "Oh yeah. Tea. Just don't tell me it's a tea ceremony." She
joked.
Terry shook his head, chuckling lightly. "I assure you it isn't." He said, grinning.
"So you see, my mother's maiden name was Yamada, before she married my
father, and that's when her last name became Kino." Makoto explained to
the group seated at the small table.
"Soo ka." Joe raised his eyebrows.
"Now it makes sense." Andy agreed.
"How come you didn't tell me you had a grandfather?" Usagi asked, sipping
her tea.
Makoto bowed her head. "I didn't know he was still alive." She answered, glancing at Jubei. "Last time I tried visiting him in Kumamoto, his dojo
was closed, and there were no indications of where he went."
Jubei, who was seated beside her, placed a hand on her shoulder. "Gomen
Makoto. I also tried reaching you in Tokyo, but I couldn't find you either."
He smiled. "I'm glad your here now my granddaughter, it has been too long."
Makoto smiled at him, nodding slightly.
The group stared at the pair in awe, not saying anything for a moment.
Then Joe grinned. "Oi Makoto. There's this really cool club I know of,
want to go?" He asked.
Makoto looked at him surprised, blushing. "Hai." She replied, smiling.
Usagi smiled at her friend, raising an eyebrow. 'That should satisfy her,
since she's so in love with him.' She thought, giggling a bit.
"Hey don't forget about us." Mai added, grabbing Andy's arm, smiling up at
him.
"I think I'll join you also." Jubei grinned, glancing at them, then looked
at Terry and Usagi. "And what about you two? Are you coming?"
Usagi's eyes widened in surprise along with Terry's. "Um.....No thanks.
I'm really tried from the long trip." She grinned.
"Yeah. So am I." Terry agreed.
Jubei arched his eyebrows, frowning slightly, and then shrugged. "Oh fine.....You two can stay her and do nothing while we enjoy a night on
the town. Right." He said, looking at the other two couples.
"Right!" Makoto and Mai answered at the same time, smiling giddily, while
Joe and Andy raised their eyebrows.
Later that night, after Joe, Makoto, Andy, Mai, and Jubei had went out.
Usagi decided to take a walk with Luna, and look around a bit. Terry told
her he was going to an arcade that was not far from the dojo, and she was curious about it.
They passed a few stores and restaurants. She bought herself a milk shake,
and decided to go to the arcade, since that was all she was interested in
doing at the moment. Besides, she wanted to challenge Terry to another game.
She allowed herself to blush at the thought of him, not knowing why, but
he made her feel a certain way.
"Why are you blushing?" Luna asked, looking up at her curiously.
Usagi grinned. "I'm not sure."
"I bet it's because of Terry isn't it." The cat arched an eyebrow.
Usagi bowed her head, nodding.
Luna shook her head. "What about Mamoru-san
Usagi turned away. "I'm not sure about him anymore Luna. We've grown
apart and....." Before she could finish, a guy stepped forward.
"You're coming with me Usagi." He smirked.
Usagi gasped, stepping back. "No I'm not!" She glared at him, and then help
up her broach. "Moon Eternal, Make Up!"
