Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Ronin Warriors, PLEASE don't sue me… I'm broke enough as it is…
Note: Okay, I'm REALLY sorry this took so long *sighs* Lack of reviews and writers block has prevented me from writing this particular fic.

And a bunch of ppl said they would review the sequel to "A Whole New Life: The Return of the Black Moon Family", which is All is Lost). gomen… I'm just getting a little disgusted by the lack of reviews lately… *sighs* I KNOW that's really shallow of me… demo, it's hard to get motivated when no one reviews *sighs again* I have a little challenge for all of you ppl that DO review…. See bottom of page…
Note from insane author: *stands up on computer desk and cups hands around mouth* READ AND REVIEW FOR ME!!!! SO I CAN CONTINUE!!!! 15 REVIEWS AND THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE WRITTEN!!!!
Chapter 17 – Betrayal and Surrender
Usagi's face flew upward as she felt a harsh pain touch her cheeks.
"N… nani?" She asked quietly as she touched her stinging cheek. It had felt like someone had slapped her sharply across the face. "Ryo-chan…." She whispered, her eyes widening in shock.
"What's wrong Usagi?" Yuli asked from his place on the floor next to Whiteblaze. The white tiger seemed to sense that something was the matter and jumped to his feet, growling deeply.
"They're in trouble!!" Usagi cried, wrapping her fingers tightly around the staff. "I have to go help them! I don't care what happens to me as long as Ryo and my friends are all right!" Usagi cried as she headed for the balcony.
"I want to go with you!" Yuli cried as he followed her.
"Iie, Yuli-kun… it's too dangerous for you." Usagi protested.
"I'm going with you and I refuse to take 'no' as an answer." Mia said firmly with both hands on her hips.
"You don't understand… if you knew this guy… he's evil, he'll stop at nothing to have what he wants…" Usagi whimpered, feeling fear and anger spread through her body.
"And what exactly is it that he wants?" Mia asked.
"Me…" Usagi whispered.

"Play nice with Naga-naga!" The ballerina youma said, doing a leap into the air.
"You bakayaro!!" Uranus shrieked as Anubis leaped right into her and both dancers went sprawling on the ground.
"Not nice words…" Naga-naga said pouting. "I can't let you talk like that." The youma said, smiling sweetly at Uranus. She closed her hand and when she opened her palm back up, a long crystal dagger was in her hand. She lunged at Uranus, preparing the sink the dagger into her flesh. She cried out in pain as she felt herself being tackled by someone from behind.
"I'll kill you myself!!" Neptune shrieked. "Deep SUBMERGE!!!" She cried, sending the attack at point-blank range, turning the youma to dust instantly. "Are you all right Uranus?" Sailor Neptune asked, limping toward Uranus.
"Why the hell did you do that!?!" Uranus shrieked as the tutu disappeared. "You could have been killed!"
"I don't care about my life, as long as you're all right." Neptune said, smiling tenderly.
"I hate to break up this heart-warming moment, demo, I have work to do." Takao said calmly as the soldiers began to surround the Outer Senshi and Anubis. Anubis stepped forward, holding up his hand.
"That's enough!" Anubis said firmly. "As I am the protector of the descendents of the Ancient one, I will NOT allow you to harm any of us anymore!" Anubis said firmly.
"And what are you going to do?" Takao asked with a huge smirk on his face. "You're all washed up Anubis… you don't even have the magic staff anymore."
"Iie, I may not, demo… one more powerful than all has it in her possession. You will not truly win as long as she possesses that staff." Anubis said.
"So… Serenity-hime has the staff ne?" Takao asked, scratching his chin. Ryo was pinned up against a wall, dark ribbons of energy cutting into his armor, leaving huge gashes. "No matter, she won't know how to use it. Besides, it can't protect her from what I'm going to do." Takao said with an evil smirk.
"I'll kill you if you lay ONE hand on Usagi!! Bakayaro!!!" Ryo yelled, pulling against the energy bonds to no avail. All he received was a harsh slap in the face from Takao.
"You'd better watch your mouth around your future king!" Takao snapped. Ryo felt the warm blood that spilled from his lips, the bitter taste of blood in his mouth. He coughed harshly, blood splattering onto the ground with each heave of his body. Some of the blood spilled onto Takao's white pant leg as it was projected from his lungs.
"How dare you!!" Takao shouted, seeing the white fabric slowly turn a crimson red. "I'll kill you now!!" A large amount of energy began to gather in Takao's hand as his anger began to grow. A huge blast of black energy streaked with dark blue formed in his hand. He pulled his arm back and prepared to throw the deadly attack… He released it, sending it straight for Ryo…
::Fin::
JK, sorry, I couldn't help it, THAT would be an EVIL cliffie there *giggles* So… read on…

"I'm leaving right now!" Usagi cried as she held the staff above her head. Yuli and Mia grabbed onto Usagi's waist and Whiteblaze gently bit down on her other wrist as the rings on the staff began to spin around, faster and faster… A white light was emitted from the staff and a moment later, the three people, and one tiger, disappeared.
****
"IIE!" Usagi cried as she threw her body over Ryo's. She screamed in pain as she felt the negative energy rip through her body, paralyzing every muscle in her body. Her screams of pain died down as the attack died down and she slumped to the ground, not moving.
"USA-CHAN!!!" Ryo cried in anger and rage as he pulled against the bonds that held him. "Flare Up NOW!!" He shouted, aiming his swords at the energy bonds that held him in place. He dropped to Usagi's side, taking her limp body into his arms. "Usa-chan!" He shouted, noticing the huge burns that stretched across her back.
"You haven't won Ryo of the WildFire, not by far." Takao said, glaring at the boy that held his Serenity-hime.
"I'll kill you for hurting Usa!!" Ryo shouted, standing up, still holding the unconscious girl in his arms. The staff lay on the ground a foot away. He bent down and picked it up, tossing it to Anubis. "Sage, I trust you, get her to safety." Ryo said, laying the girl in his arms.
"Hai Ryo." Sage said, gently accepting the princess that was placed in his arms. Ryo turned his attention back to Takao, glaring deeply at him.
"I don't think you should take her away from here." Takao said, a confident smile on his face.
"Why the hell shouldn't I?!" Ryo demanded, rage coursing in his veins. He would make this man pay for hurting his Usagi.
"Because, I have someone here you might want to think of." Takao said, still smirking. A moment later, a terrified Sailor WildFire appeared beside him, trapped in some sort of a force field.
"Otousan!!" ChibiUsa shouted, seeing Ryo standing there. Ryo's face paled as he saw his future daughter trapped in a bubble-like forced field, fear streaked across her face. "Help me Daddy!"
"ChibiUsa…" Ryo said quietly as his rage began to build even more. His eyes narrowed on Takao in sheer hatred. "You won't live after this…" Ryo said quietly, all sanity leaving him. "Release her now and I may leave you the use of your legs." Takao threw his head back in a booming evil laugh.
"Do you really think I would let that happen Ryo of WildFire? You can't touch me, go ahead and try." Takao said confidently. Ryo's eyes narrowed as he drew both of his swords, fitting the ends of the swords together.
"Flare Up NOW!!" Ryo shouted, launching the deadly attack at Takao. Takao merely raised a hand and deflected the attack, sending it straight back at Ryo. Whiteblaze jumped in the way of the attack, forcing Ryo onto his back and running out of the way of the deflected attack, burning the end of his tail in the process. "Thanks Whiteblaze." Ryo said, stroking the great beasts fur appreciatively.

Sage held Usagi in his arms, glancing down to see a peaceful look cross her face. His features softened as he brushed his fingers along her jaw-line, feeling the softness of her skin under the roughness of his own. No… Usagi was Ryo's, he couldn't do that to him… Ryo trusted him… he couldn't like her… no… he didn't… he just couldn't…
"Ugh…" A light sound escaped from the angel's partially opened lips. "Ryo-chan…" Her voice whispered as her glazed over eyes looked up at Sage. He felt her hand reach around the back of his neck as she drew him into a passionate kiss. Sage's eyes shot open in surprise as he felt her lips pressed against his. He traced his tongue along her lips, beckoning for her to allow him to enter. She parted her lips, letting Sage's tongue inside to explore her mouth. After a few moments of indulging in the kiss, Sage realized what he was doing and pulled back abruptly, startling Usagi. Usagi's eyes cleared and she blushed in embarrassment as she realized that it had been Sage she had kissed.
"I… I…." She stammered, not being able to find the words. Sage nodded his head in agreement.
"That shouldn't have happened… gomen… gomen nasai…" He said, gently setting her feet on the ground.
****
Ryo glanced back to make sure Usagi was all right and what he saw instead shocked him and brought a boiling rage out that he had never felt before… Sage and Usagi… were…. Kissing…. PASSIONATELY!!! The way HE was only allowed to kiss her! The way HE had kissed her during their night… the way HE kissed her when he felt alone or scared… How could Sage do this to him… he was supposed to be his friend.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!" Ryo growled as he turned his attention to Sage. He lunged at his fellow warrior, slamming him into the ground.
"RYO! STOP IT!!" Usagi shrieked, trying to pull Ryo off of Sage. Ryo swung his arm back, pushing Usagi away from him. She fell to the ground, feeling the tears sting her eyes as Ryo sent punch after punch at Sage, landing effectively each time. "Make them stop!!" Usagi cried, feeling her tears running down her face. The black soldiers still surrounded them, keeping them from escaping but they hadn't attacked since Takao had arrived. Yuli and Mia were standing away from the battle, being guarded carefully by Whiteblaze. The Outer Senshi and the rest of the Ronin Warriors turned their attention to separated the former comrades, none noticing the stealthy move Takao made toward Usagi, until they heard her scream.
"IIE!! Let me go!!" Usagi cried, fighting against Takao.
"Usagi!" Uranus shouted, shoving the nearest person out of her way and crawling over the rest of them as she raced toward Usagi.
"Let me go Takao!!" Usagi cried, struggling against him… demo, he was much stronger than her, especially in her weakened state.
"Are you finally ready to come home Serenity-hime?" He asked, putting his ear close to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her skin and cringed at the feeling it gave her. He ran a hand up and down her cheek, kissing her neck lightly. He noticed Uranus heading toward him but he didn't act the least bit worried.
"Let her go!!" Uranus shouted. "Space Sword BLASTER!!" She shouted, her dagger appearing in her hand. She lunged at Takao but when she came within two feet of him, a shield appeared and she was thrown back into the crowd of Ronin Warriors and Outer Senshi that had gathered.
"Please Takao… I will stop fighting if you let ChibiUsa and the Inner Senshi go…" Usagi promised, as she stopped struggling. She noticed that Takao was thinking and held her breath hoping he would go for it.
"Hmm… fine then, you have to do exactly what I say or your Senshi and those Ronin Warriors will die, is that a deal?" Takao asked, looking at the princess.
"Iie! You can't trust him koneko-chan!" Uranus shouted, struggling to her feet.
"You can't go with him!"
"He'll kill us as soon as you're gone!"
"Princess… I warned you…" Pluto said, looking sadly at the princess.
"Gomen Pluto…" Usagi whispered, she turned her face back to Takao and put out her hand, grasping his. She felt his hand tighten around her own and she suddenly felt woozy. She fell into his arm unconscious and a moment later, the bodies of the five Inner Senshi as well as the black-haired child fell to the ground in front of the Ronin Warriors and Outer Senshi.
"I've kept my part of the deal and she's kept hers, demo… if you try to save her, the contract will be void and I'll be free to kill you as I wish." Takao said with a smirk.
"Usagi…" Ryo growled as he watched Takao disappear. A moment later, the ground began to swirl and Takao's castle melted away, leaving them standing in the middle of the woods. Ryo turned his attention back to Sage, his eyes burning holes into Sage. "I won't forget what you did…" Ryo said quietly as he turned and walked away…
