Hey! I'm sorry if I kept you waiting for so long. Since you've been
waiting patiently, here's the next chapter!
I hope you like it!! #^___^#
------ Chapter 11 ~ The Beginning of The End ------
"What's wrong, Alan?" Ann asked.
"What do you mean?"
Well…yesterday. When I came back, you didn't seem in a very good mood."
"It's nothing. Don't worry."
"If you say so…"
'I'll get you, Mamoru-baka! I swear I'll get you for this!' Alan thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was on her bed, thinking. Thinking about Mamoru. 'I wonder if those memories were real…' she asked herself.
A knock on the door disrupted her from her thoughts.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, dear." Ikuko's voice came from outside the room.
"Oh. Come in, okaa-san."
Ikuko entered the room and saw Usagi on her bed. "Is something wrong, sweetie?" she asked concerned.
"No, nothing. Naze?" Ikuko shook her head.
"You have a visitor. He's waiting for you by the door. But…" She paused looking at her daughter. "…you might want to get dressed."
"What for? Who's here?"
"Just do what I say." Ikuko stood up and headed for the door. She stopped before she got to it, though. "You might want to put on a pretty dress." she suggested.
Usagi looked at her and asked "It's Mamoru, isn't it?"
Ikuko just smiled, then left. 'I wonder why he's here so early? It's barely four.'
~~~~~~~~~~
Minako and the others, including Artemis and Luna, were all at Rei's temple.
"Do you think we should tell Usagi?" Makoto asked.
"Tell her what? That she's Sailor Moon and that she HAS to fight because we need her help?" Rei replied.
"She still can't remember." Minako began. "I think it would be best if we try to do this ourselves."
"I agree. Besides, I don't think we have much of a choice." Ami joined.
"Just how are we supposed to do that?" asked Makoto. "This is no walk in the park. We need as much help as we can get. And Sailor Moon is the strongest of the scouts."
"That doesn't mean that we can't do it ourselves!" Rei interrupted. "Besides, even if Usagi did know she was Sailor Moon, she's wounded. She still too weak." she added.
All the girls lowered their heads. So did Luna and Artemis, who hadn't joined in on the conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi came down the stairs. When Mamoru saw her, he was left speechless. She was wearing a small, sleeveless, red dress. It wasn't really fancy, but it made her figure more noticeable.
"Doushita?" she asked when she saw his face.
"Uh, nothing." 'Wow! She looks so beautiful! Stop it!' he scolded himself.
"Shall we go?" he asked offering his arm.
Usagi took his arm and asked, "Where are we going?"
"You'll see." was all he answered.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru and Usagi arrived at a restaurant called Heaven's Palace (A.N.: I made that name up), one of the most expensive restaurants.
"We're eating here!?" Usagi couldn't believe that he would take her here.
"Yeah."
She put her arm around his and they went in.
~~~~~~~~~~
"I think we should go see Usagi soon." Minako started. "Last time, we just left in a rush."
"Yeah, you're right." Makoto agreed.
"So, when should we go?" asked Ami.
Rei thought for a while before answering "How about right now?"
"Right now!?" the other girls said in union.
"Yeah. It's not late. And I think she should be home."
"Alright then!" Minako said while standing up. "Lets go!" The rest of the girls stood up and they all left.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was already 7pm. Mamoru and Usagi had already finished eating. They were taking a walk in the park.
"Wow! It looks so beautiful!" Usagi said referring to the sun which was setting.
Mamoru just stared at her. 'She's so beautiful. I wish she would remember our past.' His face suddenly had a sad look.
"Doushita?" asked Usagi.
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just thinking."
"About the past?"
He looked at her surprised.
She lowered her head. Even though her bangs covered her eyes, Mamoru noticed tears fall down her cheeks.
"Gomen Nasai." she said quietly. Almost whispering. "Gomen Nasai." She repeated.
He just smiled. He lifted her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. "You have nothing to be sorry about, Usagi. You have done nothing wrong."
"I don't remember…and you're suffering because of that."
"It's not your fault."
He pulled her close to him and embraced her in his arms.
"Please don't cry." He said into her hair. "I can't bare seeing you like this."
She closed her eyes and replied softly "Neither can I."
"How sweet…" a blunt voice came from above.
Mamoru and Usagi turned to see who it was.
There were two figures floating in mid-air.
"Who are you?" asked Mamoru.
"Wouldn't you like to know… very well. My name is Alan."
'Alan!? It can't be!'
"And I'm Ann."
"No… it's not possible!" Usagi said looking up at them. "Doushite? Why are you doing this?"
"Why do you think?" answered Ann. "Because we hate you humans. We're going to kill all humans."
"How are you going to do that?" Mamoru asked.
"Simple." Alan replied. "We'll just take all of their energy away."
'Kuso! Where are the Sailor Scouts when you need them?' Mamoru was confused still. As was Usagi.
Alan held out a card and threw it in front of them. Then he began playing his flute.
Usagi and Mamoru watched in horror as a youma materialized from the card.
Soon, the youma had appeared.
"What are you anyway?" Mamoru asked.
Both Alan and Ann grinned. Then Ann answered "Wareware wa iteki. We don't know what planet we're from, though. All we know is that the Doom Tree needs energy in order to stay alive."
"Stay alive?" Mamoru repeated.
"Hai." Alan answered. "You see, if the Doom Tree dies… we will too."
Mamoru and Usagi fell silent.
The silence was broken when the youma attacked. It headed for Mamoru.
"Mamoru!" Usagi yelled.
Luckily, Mamoru was able to dodge in time, but injuring his left arm.
Usagi ran up to him. "Mamoru! Daijobou?"
"Hai."
Just as they stood up, the youma was heading towards them again.
