Sailor Wildfire

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Ronin Warriors wish I did though.

Note: This story takes place after Sailor Stars. Usagi is Eternal Sailor Moon and somehow is sent to the Ronin Warriors dimension all alone. The Ronin Warriors are at peace right now.

Chapter 18 – Release into Freedom

"Why did you do all of this?" Usagi demanded, anger in her eyes as she stood before Takao. She was now dressed in a pitch-black dress that hugged her body, a slit all the way up to her thigh on both sides. The underside of the dress was a royal blue and was shiny in the dim light. The collar swooped low, and the long sleeves were baggy and belled out at the bottom, the blue underside showing slightly when she moved her arms.

"You are mine now, you should know what I want." He said smirking evilly at Usagi.

"You better back off…" Usagi warned, her eyes narrowing on Takao. "If you put your hands on me, you'll be dead before you can do anything."

"Oh?" Takao asked, looking amused. "Is that so?"

"It IS so… just stay away from me." Usagi warned, turning her back from him and leaving the room, the material of a black cape with a red underside swishing across the floor as she left him alone.

"Don't worry Princess… you'll give into me very soon." Takao said smirking to himself as he watched her departure.

"Gomen Setsuna-san…" Usagi said quietly to herself as she threw herself facedown on her bed.

~I warned you Usagi-chan…~ A soft voice flooded into Usagi's mind.

"Hai… I know Setsuna-san… demo, I couldn't just let him hurt my Senshi… my daughter… my Ryo-chan…" Usagi whispered, tears spilling down her cheeks as she buried her face into the black blanket.

~There is nothing I can do to help you now… you're going to have to choose your own destiny…~ Setsuna's voice said in Usagi's mind. Usagi wasn't able to stop the tears that flowed freely.

"I don't know what to do…" She sobbed, slamming her fists into the bed as loud sobs raked her body. "Ryo-chan… ChibiUsa-chan…" She whispered, seeing the face of Ryo smiling as he gave ChibiUsa a piggy-back ride. It had been so much fun, the three of them. It may have only been for a little while, but it was so peaceful and so happy. Don't worry Ryo-chan… ChibiUsa-chan… Senshi… I'll think of something… Usagi told herself mentally, wiping her tears away as a look of determination crossed her face. The look that came to her face when she had made up her mind… that stubborn look of determination that was never able to be swayed by anyone, not even the man Usagi had loved at one time.

"What's up with Ryo?" Kento asked as he sat on the couch with a bag of chips. "I figured he'd get over that thing between Sage and Usagi now."

"I'm worried…" Mia said quietly to herself. "He doesn't even talk to Yuli anymore… and Whiteblaze has been keeping his distance lately."

"Hey, it's not OUR fault his girl friend gave herself up so we could go free." Kento said to himself.

"She gave up her freedom for her friends and the one she loves," Mia said, her eyes stern. "It's a very noble thing to do, she is truly the daughter of the Ancient one."

"Of course she's the daughter of the Ancient One," Came a rather quiet voice. A moment later, a blue-haired girl sat next to Mia on the couch. "She's the Tsuki no Hime and is more powerful than any other being in the world. Only… she doesn't know the amount of power that she controls…"

"Now she'll never know." Mia said.

"What are you all talking about?!?" An angered voice broke in. "We're going to save Usagi-chan!" Rei spat in disgust as she limped into the living room. "She would do it for any of us so we have to help her! She's our princess and we're the ones that are supposed to protect her!" Rei cried, nearly losing her balance and toppling over. Kiyura looked up as Rei entered the room, no hint of any emotion on her face. Mia looked guilty for what she had said, and didn't meet Rei's gaze, instead stared intently on the floor under her feet. Rei snorted in disgust and stomped out of the room, slamming the door to the room she had been occupying.

Usagi padded quietly through the dark palace, wondering where exactly they were. It was such a dark gloomy place, she would never be able to find happiness here. The negative energy filled her body and made her feel weak all over. She was having trouble walking at the moment, having to stop every few minutes to catch her breath. No matter how much negative energy was flooded into her body, she could not be turned. Her willpower was too great to be overcome, not to mention that she was the Tsuki no Hime and there was no way that she could be turned.

Usagi passed huge black crystal pillars that towered above her, holding up the heavy dark ceiling. There was very little light in the whole place and all of the decorations were in midnight black and blood red which only added to the sense of evil from the whole place. Usagi was afraid as she walked quietly… alone through the palace. She didn't really know what she was looking for, maybe an exit to a garden or something. She had always loved the flowers… red roses… why were they her favorites? No… they weren't her favorites… those had been Mamoru's. She had always favored lilies and violets over roses, but the only flower Mamoru ever gave her had been roses… not different colors either. They were ALWAYS red, no matter what, he gave her red roses. Never had she been given a white rose, yellow rose, or pink rose… always red… the color of blood.

"Iie… I won't think of him…" Usagi said quietly as she arose from the floor, feeling rested enough to continue. She continued to push her way through the hallway, seeing light at the end. Maybe this was a way outside… Usagi longed to see the sun, to feel it's warmth on her skin. She had been cooped up in this palace for weeks on end. She had not seen the sun, heard a bird chirp, or breathed in the fresh scent of wild flowers in so long. She had to get out of this place before she drove herself crazy.

She pushed out of the opening, seeing the bright light. It blurred her vision, it was so much different than the dim light of the palace. Her eyes took a while to adjust to the brightness and when the finally began to come into focus, she felt that sense of gloom surround her once again. There she stood, in the middle of the garden… crimson red and velvet black roses surrounded her, their sickeningly sweet scent invading her nostrils.

"Iie…" She whispered as she fell forward, losing consciousness.

****

I have to think of something… Usagi thought to herself as she lay on her bed. She didn't know how much time had passed since her collapse but she knew one thing… she was going to have to play along with Takao's little game. She had to act like she was changed… that she was in love with him. After that, though, what do I do? She asked herself as she stared at the ceiling. A thought came into her mind… something that she knew would work… now, where to begin…

"Where are you Usa-chan?" Ryo asked himself as he stepped out of the house. He had been wandering through the woods, searching for any sign of her for the past few months. He had to find her, he wouldn't give up until she was in his arms once again… until he could breath in her sweet scent. Until he could feel her velvety hair through his fingers, until he could taste her sweet lips. Something was happening to ChibiUsa… she was becoming withdrawn and quiet, she wouldn't even go near the girls. She rarely spoke with Yuli anymore and they had been so close when he had first come.

Forget about her… A voice echoed through his mind.

"Takao!" Ryo shouted, recognizing the voice immediately. "Where the hell are you?!? Let her go now!!" Ryo demanded, changing into his demi-armor.

She belongs to me now. Takao said calmly. She has become my bride.

"Iie, she wouldn't let that happen! She wouldn't let you put your hands on her!" Ryo shouted angrily.

~Gomen Ryo-chan…~ Usagi's voice whispered quietly. ~I couldn't keep my promise…~

"Iie! Usa-chan!" Ryo shouted, a feeling of anguish and despair coming over him. "She wouldn't…"

She belongs to me forever. Takao's voice continued.

"Usa-chan…" Ryo whispered, feeling the tears burning in his eyes. "She's betrayed me… she's betrayed ChibiUsa-chan…"

****

Something had gone terribly wrong… Ryo knew what Usagi had done… what she had been forced to do to earn Takao's trust… it was a key part in her plan… Ryo would never forgive her, she might as well just kill herself and spare herself the grief of his rejection. Tonight was the night though… the night she would have her revenge on Takao… the night she would escape from everything… the night she would finally be free from everything… free from Takao… free from destiny.

"Gomen Ryo-chan… I can't bare to face you after what I have done," Usagi said grief in her voice. "Gomen ChibiUsa-chan…" She whispered as she held the baby in her arms. "Your father will love you…" She said quietly. "Puu…" She whispered. A moment later, a woman clad in a sailor fuku with long blackish-green hair appeared.

"Serenity-hime…" She said quietly. "What can I do for you?"

"I only ask one favor of you… it is dangerous for you to be here demo… please take ChibiUsa-chan to her father," Serenity said quietly. "It is dangerous for me to speak with you, demo, I can't let her suffer my fate. I will not put her through that and I will not let her father suffer through the pain of her loss." Setsuna nodded and took the bundle from Usagi.

"Hai, I am at your service Serenity-hime." Setsuna said before disappearing. Usagi picked up the small vile that lay on her dresser and placed it inside of her mouth. Takao would suffer for all the pain he had caused. He would not be able to hurt another soul again, she would make sure of it. Usagi padded quietly through the hallways, no emotion on her face as she approached a large door. She pushed the door open and approached the man within. She walked up to the man and ran her fingers through his hair.

"There you are my wife." He said, smiling at the blond woman. A sad smile crossed Usagi's face as she pictured Ryo for the last time, seeing his black hair… his deep blue eyes that held so much light and love… every detail of Ryo was in her mind as she pressed her lips against Takao's. She bit down on the vile, ignoring the shards of glass that filled her mouth. She forced her tongue into his mouth, some of the poison entering him. She could feel his convulsions and knew that in a moment, the two of them would be dead… she would rid the world of evil once again… Her own evil would be gone, and she would burn in hell for the betrayal of her Ryo…
