Kirei's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
Usagi and Co.'s apartment, 3:00 a.m.
"Alright peoples, now that Usa's gone, *I'm* in charge,"
I flashed them a reassuring grin while Usa detransformed and walked
to the shower. "Now, now, Ruka-chan, no need to give me dirty
looks. Same with you, Rei-chan." I detransform.
"Don't call me Ruka-chan. Only *friends* call me Ruka-chan."
Ouch, that one hurt. Looks like she was about to go on, but stopped
when she saw my eyes wet. I bow my head and spoke softly.
"Sure, Haruka. You'll get your memories back later, no worries.
Anyway, I'll just do a bit of healing on everyone. Or do you not trust
me to do that either?" I glance at her through my eyelashes.
"N-no. It's okay. Heal away." I look up and tried to blink
my tears away.
Rejuvenate. That's the only word I need to think as I heal
everyone in the room, senshi, Guard, General alike. Then I feel it.
Onee-chan's crying. Mamoru's head shoots up. He feels it too,
and moves to get up. "No, Mamo-chan. Don't. Let Owen.
Owen?" Mamo-chan stares at me, confused, probably about my
calling him Mamo-chan. And why I won't let him see Usa. Owen
looks at me.
~ Usa-chan's crying. I don't think she's ready to see
Mamo-chan. She's tired from all the excitement tonight...I can't
leave everyone now either. I have to bring back their memories.
Go check on her, please? ~
"Sure." Then he leaves the room.
"Oh, Mamo-chan, you don't remember, do you? I
used to call you Mamo-chan back in the Silver Millennium! I'm
the one that got Usa-chan started calling you that..." It
depresses me to no end that they don't remember me. I
mean, yeah, Onee-chan didn't remember me at first, but
after the explanation, even without her memories, she
remembered a bit of me...
"What? Where am I?"
"Mako-chan, I-" I try to explain.
"Who are you? Who are you to have the right to call
me Mako-chan? How do you know who I am?" Ouch. Hurt
almost as much as when Haruka said it.
"Chill, Jupiter. If it'll make you feel any better, I'll
call you that for now. I'll explain everything soon." I scan
Ruka-chan's mind. Still didn't trust me. Only pities me. I
got teary eyed yet again. Oh, Ruka-chan.. No, I will *not*
cry. Let's check on Rei and Mamo-chan. Seems like they
don't trust me either. Michi-chan! She remembers a bit..
that's good. And Suna-chan...still hasn't shown up yet.
Slowly, one by one, everyone wakes up. They all
ask the same question. "Okay, now that everyone's awake,
I'm going to start."
I glance around. The senshi, each one of them refused
to sit, as sore as they were from the injuries, and they stood there.
The Guards...well, Danny was asleep on one of the couches,
Brian still sat there on the carpet though, sitting patiently. The
Generals, they were here as well. Kris was leaning against
the wall, with his eyes closed and arms folded. Armand, Justin
and Zackie sat there playing cards, and Nick was watching
Mako-chan. I think I saw her catch his gaze once and blush
before quickly cautioning herself. "I suggest y'all sit down.
This is going to be a long story."
"Where's Sailormoon?" blurts Ami.
Sarcastically, Jed replies without thinking, "We're
holding her captive."
Instantly, the senshi take out their henshin tools.
"JED! That was just mean!" came Usa's voice. We all turn
(save for the sleeping Danny) and saw Owen standing there
with his arm around Onee-chan's waist. I felt jealousy coming
from both Hota-chan and Mamo-chan. I guess Hota-chan
*does* remember more than I thought.
I rush towards her and envelop her in a huge bear
hug. "You okay, Onee-chan?" I feel the confusion as the
senshi hear me call her Onee-chan.
"Yeah, I'm just peachy," she smiles. "Come on,
I wanna hear you tell your story again."
"Sheesh, you know how sick I am of telling it."
"Haha, that's why I love it," she smirks.
"Yippee," I mutter.
"Well, Senshi, what are you doing standing around
staring at me like that? Sit! Get comfortable...this story's
gonna take a while." And she lay down on the carpet, with
her head resting in Owen's lap.
~ Sheesh girl, you're really going to push it on
Mamo-chan as much as possible, aren't you? ~
~ I guess...I mean I don't want to hurt him, but... ~
~ Chill, I get what you mean. You want him to have
a taste of his own medicine. It's not that hard to get. ~
The senshi stared at us while Usa-chan and I smirked
at each other. "Well, back in the Silver Millennium, there was
the Silver Alliance. I trust you all know that?" The senshi all nodded
dumbly. "Well, this included..." And I went on with my story.
The exact same story I've told over and over to the Guards, the
Generals, and Usa. Of course, with Endymion here, I didn't
add my little wisecrack about throwing flowers.
"So, I have the powers of each known senshi. All the
planets, Galaxia, the Starlights, and yes, Mamoru, I can make
flowers as well." I created a perfect honey suckle and tossed
it to him. "Now, close your eyes." They look at me suspiciously.
"Oh people, just do it!" They listen to her. Why aren't I
surprised?
Half an hour later...
"Wow..." whispers Minako-chan. I glance at them.
Mako-chan was hugging Mina-chan, both of them obviously
shaken. Ami-chan was sitting there, speechless, as was
Rei-chan. Mamo-chan looks at me, apologizing silently. I give
him a comforting smile, and relief washes over his features,
before he resumes glaring at Owen, still holding onto
Onee-chan. Michi-chan sat there hugging her knees,
contemplating what she had just remembered, and Hota-chan
stared at Owen, hurt and jealous that he was treating Usa-chan
like he was. (AN: In case you don't remember, her head's lying
on his lap.) Then I look at Ruka-chan. She was staring at
the ground.
"Haruka? You okay?"
She looks up at me and what I see shocks me. Tears are
streaming down her face and her eyes are puffy. I scan her mind.
She truly feels guilty for treating me that way..."Oh, Ki-chan,
I'm so sorry...I-I didn't remember...but that's no excuse...I-"
I cut her off. I wasn't about to stand here and listen to her
apologizes.
"It's okay, Ruka-chan! I didn't expect for you to
remember." But it still hurt, I think. Why? We were close
friends in the Silver Millennium, closer than Usagi and I, closer
than Michi-chan and she. There wasn't a thing that I hadn't
told her, and same for her. When I look up, I see Ruka-chan
standing there. "Ruka-chan!" We hug tightly before Usagi
butt in.
"Oh, as you know, these are the Earth Generals, Kunzite,
Jadeite, Nephrite, and Zoisite. No, Zoisite is *not* a woman. That
was only Beryl's little...strange *perverse* fantasy." The inner senshi
looked at them, hurt. Usagi notices this. "And yes, I know it seems that
they betrayed you in the last battle in the Silver Millennium, but please,
listen to their explanations."
Nicholas stood up. "Koto..." She looks away, obviously
pained. It was apparent that he was hurt as well, though. "The generals
you faced in that last battle were not us. Earlier, Beryl had captured us.
We were cloned, then killed. But our souls were trapped within the
generals. We-" he choked on his words. Usa-chan went to him and
comforts him. I could hear her words.
"It's okay, Nicky...chill.."
Justin stands forward. "As Nicholas was saying, we were...we
were forced to watch you die. It was not us who killed you, but we
were forced to watch you die. We watched, helpless. Rei...I'm so
sorry..." and he too, broke down.
I look at the other two generals. Kris is still in his position,
leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed and eyes closed, but
I could tell with one quick scan that he was thinking of Minako and
hurting. Tears streak down his face. Zackie was not much better.
He sat there, eyes closed, shoulders shaking silently. I barely hear
him when he says, "Excuse me." And with that, he rushes out of
the room.
Ami looks up. "Zoi.." I smile at her.
"Go for it."
"But...he won't forgive me," she whispers, head hanging low.
"He will, all he wants is *your* forgiveness."
"Excuse me then."
I glance over at Usa. She nods. "Owen, I think you should
go to Hotaru. She thinks there's something between us."
"You mean we don't?" He grins childishly.
She smacked him lightly on the chest. "Just go, immature baka."
"Alright, I think we've had enough excitement for one
night."
~ Tell them about their 'unlimited' power tomorrow? ~
~ Yeah, sure. I don't think they need to be more
overwhelmed than they already are. ~
Usa stops and looks at Mamoru. "Mamoru? Can we talk?"
