Hi again all! Sorry it took me so long to post again, but I had a problem
to take care of… First of all my bf is pissed off at me, and secondly, I
was accused of plagiarizing someone else's story. I had to rewrite about
seven lines of text that my friend wrote for me because I was feeling very
romantic that day. Remind me to seriously hurt her!!! Anyway, email me
akamoonsugar@yahoo.com and review!
"Konnichiwa Usako." a male voice said from the open doorway. The blood drained out of Usagi's face.
"Mamo-chan?" she said, eyes wide. He nodded.
"Hai. Good to see you again, Usako." he said, not noticing as her hands shook a little at the use of his old term of endearment.
"O-negai, come in." Usagi said, voice shaking a little. He nodded, and stepped in the door, sweeping her into a hug.
"Usagi, who is it?" Wufei called from the kitchen. She shook her head slightly, still too shocked to answer. Using her moment of confusion to his advantage, Mamoru put his hand on the small of her back and kissed her deeply. He pulled her closer and closer to him, embracing her in his muscular arms. The two were quite a sight to see as the kitchen emptied of its occupants. The other eight of them stood, just as shocked as Usagi. But fate has cruel timing, because at that moment, Hiiro came down the stairs and saw the two. After a few more long moments of the heavy kiss, Mamoru pulled away from her gently.
"Ashiteru, Usako. I missed you so much." he said, staring down into her eyes. As if in a trance, she responded.
"Aishiteru, Mamo-chan." she said softly. The other's jaws dropped, minds unable to comprehend what their blonde friend had just said. Hiiro's heart hit the floor, shattering into a million pieces. 'Usa...' he thought sadly. Something deep within him snapped. Pulling out his gun, he lept from his position on the stairs to land right in front of the tall newcomer. He cocked the gun and clicked the safety off.
"NO HIIRO, DON'T!" Usagi screamed, quickly positioning herself so that if Hiiro fired the gun the bullet would catch her in the heart. She spread her arms out, shielding Mamoru.
"I could fire off every bullet in this gun and you wouldn't die, Usagi." Hiiro said evenly, only a hint of monotone left in his voice.
"Go ahead. Test the Ginzuishou. I became a mortal when Gi and I combined. You know that." Usagi told him, eyes begging for him to calm down. Hiiro stared into her eyes for a moment; he saw something he didn't reconize and didn't like. He growled something under his breath, then put the gun back in his pants. Usagi spun back around to face Mamoru.
"Mamo-chan, how are you still alive?" she asked. He locked eyes with her again and frowned.
"Are you not happy to see your fiancee?" he replied. She shook her head, still not breaking eye contact with him. An odd feeling surged through her; she felt as if she wasn't quite in control of herself.
"Hai, I'm very happy." she told him.
"Good. Now, who are all these boys?" Mamoru asked, his tone clearly stating that the pilots were inferior to him. Mamoru blinked and looked away from Usagi, and she was able to look around once more.
"This is Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Duo, and Hiiro." As she introduced them, Mamoru nodded curtly to each. Hiiro locked his gaze with Mamoru, an unspoken war beginning between them. After a moment or two of staring each other down, they both nodded and looked at Usagi. A challenge had been made and accepted, and to the winner went the coveted prize. Mamoru draped his arm around Usagi and locked her gaze once more. She led him away, talking and giggling.
"I can't believe it! Not only is Mamoru-baka still alive, but Usagi's actually greeting him with kindness!" Rei began to pace the floor about an hour later in the living room.
"If I were her I would be playing 'Bop It' with him right about now!" Matoko said angrily.
"I know I'm going to regret asking this, but what's the 'Bop It' game?" Duo asked.
"Oh, not much." Minako said. "It's just when a girl grabs, twists, and pulls a guy in the sensitive area." she said, making hand motions in the air to demonstrate. The guys winced and pressed their legs together, pained expressions crossing their faces. (AN: If you don't get it, read it over and over till you do.)
"Ummm, ow." Trowa said.
"Hnn." Hiiro commented.
"Did anyone else notice how Usagi seemed kinda out of it after Mamoru-baka locked eyes with her?" Ami asked.
"Yeah, and I picked up a wierd vibe from him. Something has changed since Tokyo. Something very big. But I can't sense what it is." Rei said, rubbing her temples a little.
"After the way Usagi used to talk about him I wouldn't have thought she'd have even invited him in. But here she is, kissing him as if she hasn't seen him in-" Duo trailed off.
"A month." Quatre finished for him. Minako seemed to be deep in thought.
"Minako, you seem deep in thought." Matoko noticed. (AN: I'm tired! Gimme a break!)
"Hai." Minako said. "Do any of you remember the Curse of the Princess?" she looked around at the other Senshi.
"Hai, I think." Ami said. The other two nodded as well. Then Matoko's eyes widened.
"Then that means-" she began.
"Oh Kami-sama!" Rei ended for her.
"What's the matter?" Wufei asked. When none answered, he tried again. "What is this curse, onna?" he asked again.
"The Curse of the Princess is basically a genetic curse passed from every Queen of the Moon to every daughter she has. It basically means that since Usagi was once in love with Mamoru, if he has any roots with the NegaVerse he can control her mind as long as he has eye contact with her." Minako answered.
"But there's more to it than that, isn't there?" Rei asked. "I can't remember it all, though."
"I do." Ami said hurridly. "If the Princess has been tainted by Mamoru, then he can control her no matter where she is or what she's doing, and she'll never know the difference."
"Tainted?" Quatre asked.
"If the Princess loses her virginity to someone in relation to the NegaVerse, then she will not be able to resist doing anything that man says. Usagi could kill us all in our sleep and wake up in the morning with no memory of what happened."
"But that's only if-" Rei trailed off. She looked at the others. "Usagi is still a virgin, right?"
"HAI!" Hiiro interjected loudly, forgeting his monotone for a moment.
"So all we have to do is keep them from being alone together."
The other's eyes widened.
"But she's alone with him right now." Trowa said.
"We have to find her." Rei agreed, jumping up from her seat next to Wufei. The others stood and the began searching Quatre's huge mansion.
"Usako." Mamoru said almost evilly as he approached her. They were in a vacant bedroom only kami knows where in the mansion, and Usagi was sitting as if in a trance on the bed. Mamoru moved closer and closer to her, and then pinned her onto the purple comforter with his body.
"Mamo-chan, what are you doing?" she asked innocently, not understanding what was happening. Her eyes widened as Mamoru's hands began exploring areas he had never dared to go before.
"Usako, I'm not giving up my seat as King. I will have you." he growled, grabbing her arms tightly. She arched away from him; his hands were leaving instant black bruises all over her.
"Mamo-chan, you're hurting me." she whimpered, eyes gaining back some of their gleam.
'Shimatta why is the curse not responding?!' Mamoru wondered silently. 'I didn't spend five thousand years training in the NegaVerse for nothing. She will be mine!' He gripped her arms even tighter, hearing her gasp in pain as his superhuman strength came into use.
"Mamo-chan, don't you love me?" she asked sarcastically, coming out of the trance he had her in. She put her hands on his chest and shoved him- hard. As he lifted up slightly off her, she grabbed his crotch and squeezed hard. His face contorted in pain. She didn't even notice as the door opened and nine faces peered in, watching the strange position. Mamoru was kneeling, straddling Usagi on the bed, and she was, well, hurting him.
"Go Usagi!" Duo whispered.
"Shouldn't we stop her?" Trowa asked.
"Iie." Quatre said.
"Can you feel this pain, Mamoru? You feel that?" she asked. He nodded, face still twisted in agony. "Good. Because that's nothing compared to what you put me through." she let go of him, and quickly pulled out the Ginzuishou from her subdimensional pocket. "You will be mortal." she said, tears forming in her eyes. "And I will forget you." she held the Crystal in front of him, and called upon it's power. A bright string of energy shot out of the small gem and hit Mamoru in the chest. The others watched as a string of black energy was practically pulled from Mamoru's chest.
"Nega energy." Ami whispered. The energy basically exploded in midair as it collided with Usagi's positive energy. As the light faded, Mamoru dropped to the floor, or would have, had Usagi not caught him.
"What now, Usagi-chan?" Quatre asked. She sighed.
"I'm going to teleport him back to his home. When he awakens, he'll not only be mortal, but he won't remember me, or Tokyo, or any of the past six thousand years. He'll have fake memories of a normal life. He'll be fine." she said as Mamoru's body began to fade from sight.
"Is that what you want, Usagi?" Rei asked.
"Hai." Usagi replied after a moment. "It's what's best for all of us." She then nodded descisively, and turned away from the spot where Mamoru had been. "Besides, I got to see him for an hour or so. It was enough." she said, smiling a little. The others came into the room, engulfing her in a huge group hug.
"You're so mature now, my little one." A voice said softly. The Senshi, sensing her presence, spun around to see her silvery ghost. While the four Senshi dropped to curtsy, Usagi simply rushed to her mother.
"Okaasan!" she exclaimed. "What's wrong?" she asked, seeing her mother's tears.
"I could ask you the same." she replied.
"Hai, but you already know. You watch me." Usagi retorted. Her mother smiled.
"You do have your father's spirit." she commented. "But sweetheart, I just came to talk to you."
"Why, what's the matter?" her daughter asked, worried.
"Sweetheart, you're now free to live one life- and as you said, not have to worry about being a teenager as the ones you care about most grow old." the older woman told her. Usagi tilted her head back and looked up into her silver eyes.
"Doomo arigato, okaasan. Forgive me for asking, but why are you here?"
"I'm just here to apologize for not telling you that Mamoru was still alive, and to thank you for retaining your spirit of kindness and truth through these times." Serenity said in her soft and graceful tone. (AN: Somehow she came out sounding like a guidance counselor.)
~Have you found your soulmate among these boys?~ she asked silently. They could still make use of their telepathy.
~Hai, I think. But he's so cold and detached. He doesn't care about me. He's not capable of those feelings.~
~Really now? You seemed to bring him out of it earlier.~ Serenity frowned slightly. Usagi shook her head a little.
~Yeah, well, he's gone back to the way he's always been.~ Usagi replied.
"Look at those two." Quatre whispered to Trowa.
"I know." the other replied.
"If they weren't not moving their lips I would swear that they were talking to each other." Duo said.
"That's a double negative, but I agree." Quatre said. Duo rolled his eyes; Quatre was always correcting his grammar.
"They are talking, most likely." Matoko interjected. "They have telepathic abilities." The others' eyes bugged out.
"Really?" Duo asked.
"Yes, it's true." Ami replied.
"Cool!" the braided one exclaimed.
"Serenity?" Rei began. Serenity looked at the raven haired girl. "Why are you really here?" Serenity sighed slightly, and shook her head a bit.
"As always, you are very perceptive, Rei." she said. "I came to ask for your help. You, as Senshi, that is."
"Anything." Matoko said instinctively. The other four Senshi nodded.
"You know we'll do anything you ask, Okaasan." Usagi told her. She nodded, a grateful smile crossing her face for a moment before she continued.
"There's a rapidly growing evil in another dimension. You five do not exist there, and there is nothing else that can defeat it. I came to request that you travel to that dimension and destroy it before it can throw the rest of the cosmos out of whack."
"Let's go kick some booty!" Matoko replied.
"Yeah! Return of Sailor Mars!" Rei exclaimed.
"Sailor V is back to kick butt!" Minako added.
"I would like to be Mercury again." Ami said.
"It's not that simple." Serenity said, ending their excitement. "You have to teleport there on your own. And, I'm afraid you're going to need some help getting in. You see, the main base- where the Shi Kaze is held- is guarded by many obstacles. One of them is mobile dolls, which none of you know how to fight against, except maybe Usagi. I was hoping that your-" she paused. "Friends would help." she finished, looking at the pilots. The others glanced to the Perfect Soldier.
"Mission accepted." Hiiro said. The others looked back at the regal queen and nodded.
"Arigato. You will need to leave immediately. I will inform the Senshi how to teleport while you five help Usagi get introduced to her Gundam. Meet in the forest in the back in twenty minutes." she commanded. The six left for the hanger in the basement, while Queen Serenity filled the Senshi in on a lot more than just teleportation.
"Miyabita Shi." Usagi said softly as she stared up at her Gundam. Or rather, Gi's Gundam.
(Miyabita Shi means 'Graceful Death'. From earlier, Shi Kaze means 'Death Wind'.)
"You do remember." Hiiro noted.
"Hai." she replied.
"Usagi, do you remember how to pilot it?" Quatre asked. Usagi thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Do you remember how to use the Zero system?" Wufei asked.
"Hai!" Usagi replied indignantly. "Trust me, I have Gi's memories."
"It's not that we don't trust you, Usagi." Trowa said.
"The Zero system is very hard to control. We just don't want you going pyscho in it like Quatre here did." Wufei commented, grinning a bit at Quatre.
"It's a mistake that won't happen again." the blonde Arabian said sternly.
"It's alright, Quatre. He was just kidding." Duo told him.
"That's something I'm going to have to get used to." Quatre said. "Wufei never used to joke around." He smiled, a sign to them all that he was okay. the five of them split up and headed to their various Gundams. Hiiro pulled Usagi out of sight behind Miyabita Shi.
"Usa, we need to talk." he said, losing a bit of his monotone.
"About what, Hiiro?" she asked coldly. He pulled on her wrist and brought her close to him, kissing her softly on the lips. After a few moments, Hiiro pulled back.
"About that." he said. Usagi could not meet his gaze. Her heart beat faster and faster, until she was sure the boy standing close to her could hear.
"Hiiro- Haven't you hurt me enough for one day? Between you and Chiba-" her voice broke.
"Time heals all wounds, Usa." he told her. She looked him in the eyes for a moment, nearly losing all her nerve. His Prussian blue eyes made her heart quiver; her knees shake.
"We have to go." she said, grabbing the exit rope and hauling herself up it to the cockpit of her Gundam. Hiiro shook his head and returned to his own machine.
'It's nature's way of telling you that someone like you does not deserve emotions.' His Perfect Soldier mind told him. 'Iie,' another part argued. 'It's just human nature.'
He threw all thoughts from his mind and turned on his communications system.
"Are we ready?" Trowa asked.
"Hai!" Usagi said cheerfully. The others replied similarly.
"Let's go meet Serenity-sama." Quatre said, and six Gundams flew out of the hanger.
It took them only a few minutes to reach the designated point and climb out of the machines.
"Good." the Queen commented as they gathered around her. She looked at the Senshi. "Transform." she said simply. They nodded, and called out their transformation lines simultaneously. Soon, an awesome display of red, green, pink, blue, and orange fireworks lit the dim clearing. Quatre covered his eyes, blush rising on his cheeks. Wufei began muttering about 'weak, dishonorable onnas'. Duo grinned and never took his eyes away from Matoko, while even Trowa caught himself glancing again and again at Minako. Hiiro watched Usagi's transformation carefully. Soon, the five Sailor Senshi stood in the clearing.
"I will leave you now." Serenity said. The four Inner Senshi bowed, and then joined Sailor Moon in a rush forward to hug the last Queen of the Moon.
"Goodbye, okaasan." Sailor Moon said, a tear forming at the corner of her eye.
"I will come back and visit you soon, my little one." her mother replied before fading out of existence. Sailor Moon smiled and turned back to the boys.
"Let's go." she declared.
"Konnichiwa Usako." a male voice said from the open doorway. The blood drained out of Usagi's face.
"Mamo-chan?" she said, eyes wide. He nodded.
"Hai. Good to see you again, Usako." he said, not noticing as her hands shook a little at the use of his old term of endearment.
"O-negai, come in." Usagi said, voice shaking a little. He nodded, and stepped in the door, sweeping her into a hug.
"Usagi, who is it?" Wufei called from the kitchen. She shook her head slightly, still too shocked to answer. Using her moment of confusion to his advantage, Mamoru put his hand on the small of her back and kissed her deeply. He pulled her closer and closer to him, embracing her in his muscular arms. The two were quite a sight to see as the kitchen emptied of its occupants. The other eight of them stood, just as shocked as Usagi. But fate has cruel timing, because at that moment, Hiiro came down the stairs and saw the two. After a few more long moments of the heavy kiss, Mamoru pulled away from her gently.
"Ashiteru, Usako. I missed you so much." he said, staring down into her eyes. As if in a trance, she responded.
"Aishiteru, Mamo-chan." she said softly. The other's jaws dropped, minds unable to comprehend what their blonde friend had just said. Hiiro's heart hit the floor, shattering into a million pieces. 'Usa...' he thought sadly. Something deep within him snapped. Pulling out his gun, he lept from his position on the stairs to land right in front of the tall newcomer. He cocked the gun and clicked the safety off.
"NO HIIRO, DON'T!" Usagi screamed, quickly positioning herself so that if Hiiro fired the gun the bullet would catch her in the heart. She spread her arms out, shielding Mamoru.
"I could fire off every bullet in this gun and you wouldn't die, Usagi." Hiiro said evenly, only a hint of monotone left in his voice.

Usagi spun back around to face Mamoru.
"Mamo-chan, how are you still alive?" she asked. He locked eyes with her again and frowned.
"Are you not happy to see your fiancee?" he replied. She shook her head, still not breaking eye contact with him. An odd feeling surged through her; she felt as if she wasn't quite in control of herself.
"Hai, I'm very happy." she told him.
"Good. Now, who are all these boys?" Mamoru asked, his tone clearly stating that the pilots were inferior to him. Mamoru blinked and looked away from Usagi, and she was able to look around once more.

After a moment or two of staring each other down, they both nodded and looked at Usagi. A challenge had been made and accepted, and to the winner went the coveted prize. Mamoru draped his arm around Usagi and locked her gaze once more. She led him away, talking and giggling.
"I can't believe it! Not only is Mamoru-baka still alive, but Usagi's actually greeting him with kindness!" Rei began to pace the floor about an hour later in the living room.

"A month." Quatre finished for him. Minako seemed to be deep in thought.
"Minako, you seem deep in thought." Matoko noticed. (AN: I'm tired! Gimme a break!)
"Hai." Minako said. "Do any of you remember the Curse of the Princess?" she looked around at the other Senshi.

"Let's go kick some booty!" Matoko replied.
"Yeah! Return of Sailor Mars!" Rei exclaimed.
"Sailor V is back to kick butt!" Minako added.
"I would like to be Mercury again." Ami said.
"It's not that simple." Serenity said, ending their excitement. "You have to teleport there on your own. And, I'm afraid you're going to need some help getting in. You see, the main base- where the Shi Kaze is held- is guarded by many obstacles. One of them is mobile dolls, which none of you know how to fight against, except maybe Usagi.

"That's something I'm going to have to get used to." Quatre said. "Wufei never used to joke around." He smiled, a sign to them all that he was okay. the five of them split up and headed to their various Gundams. Hiiro pulled Usagi out of sight behind Miyabita Shi.
"Usa, we need to talk." he said, losing a bit of his monotone.
"About what, Hiiro?" she asked coldly. He pulled on her wrist and brought her close to him, kissing her softly on the lips. After a few moments, Hiiro pulled back.
"About that." he said. Usagi could not meet his gaze. Her heart beat faster and faster, until she was sure the boy standing close to her could hear.
"Hiiro- Haven't you hurt me enough for one day? Between you and Chiba-" her voice broke.
"Time heals all wounds, Usa." he told her. She looked him in the eyes for a moment, nearly losing all her nerve. His Prussian blue eyes made her heart quiver; her knees shake.
"We have to go." she said, grabbing the exit rope and hauling herself up it to the cockpit of her Gundam. Hiiro shook his head and returned to his own machine.
'It's nature's way of telling you that someone like you does not deserve emotions.' His Perfect Soldier mind told him. 'Iie,' another part argued. 'It's just human nature.'
He threw all thoughts from his mind and turned on his communications system.
"Are we ready?" Trowa asked.
"Hai!" Usagi said cheerfully. The others replied similarly.
"Let's go meet Serenity-sama." Quatre said, and six Gundams flew out of the hanger.
It took them only a few minutes to reach the designated point and climb out of the machines.
"Good." the Queen commented as they gathered around her. She looked at the Senshi. "Transform." she said simply. They nodded, and called out their transformation lines simultaneously. Soon, an awesome display of red, green, pink, blue, and orange fireworks lit the dim clearing. Quatre covered his eyes, blush rising on his cheeks. Wufei began muttering about 'weak, dishonorable onnas'. Duo grinned and never took his eyes away from Matoko, while even Trowa caught himself glancing again and again at Minako. Hiiro watched Usagi's transformation carefully. Soon, the five Sailor Senshi stood in the clearing.
"I will leave you now." Serenity said. The four Inner Senshi bowed, and then joined Sailor Moon in a rush forward to hug the last Queen of the Moon.
"Goodbye, okaasan." Sailor Moon said, a tear forming at the corner of her eye.
"I will come back and visit you soon, my little one." her mother replied before fading out of existence. Sailor Moon smiled and turned back to the boys.
"Let's go." she declared.
