Silver and Rubies
By: Princess Ashley
Wow, I get more reviews by the chapter! Thanks a lot! Even though Usagi Princess totally dissed me with this chapter, so did The Flying Pen. She was totally giving me the cold shoulder at school! *sigh* She'll get over it. She put up her 41st chapter for Cruel Fate if anyone is still reading that fic. It's been a while since she updated. Well, here the thank you notes, and the chapter! Enjoy!
Michelle: yeah, I like the genetics description in that chapter as well. It makes sense, ne?
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos: Hmmm, I don't think I'm going to make Usagi and Rubius good, it might be an idea to put the other Scouts with them. Yes, Usagi and Rubius are defiantly still going to be on the same side as Wise Man. I think I'm going to keep everyone the way they are and maybe some of the scouts will come over to the dark side with them. I dunno. Depends on what the fans want. ^_^ Personally, I like the EVIL Usagi.
StarChild: Ya know, I don't usually update as fast as I am with this fic, but that's probably because I don't have so much to do, my teachers were giving me a lot of homework so I couldn't update very quick. ^_^
Sailoreas: Thanks, glad you approve!
Millenia: I'm writing, I'm writing!!
Jean-Hime: Totally! I love dark fics as well. I can't seem to find any Dark Usagi fics though. Oh well, I'll keep lookin'! ^_^
IntellieDragon: *blushes* Thank you! Oh wow kool! I have my own shrine! I can add that to the things I own! ^_^ j/k
Galexz: Yep, 4 sum reason I'm getting a lot of ideas on this fic. But if you have or anyone else has any suggestions of things to add, that would be kool! And you'd get longer chapters! I know, I thought I'd make it unique and get some mother and daughter action in this story, I normally don't care for Rini, but this story is making me go soft. Awww nuts!
Uranus knight AKA Ringlord202: Aww shucks, thanks a lot, you made my day!
Sailor_cool: Oh I love this country! Someone actually thinks I'm a good writer! Thanks a lot, you're on my good list!
Chapter 5: Pentagrams
Usagi sat in her chair doing her nails with black nail polish in between Rubius and Emerald who seemed to be in the middle of a disagreement, something about a boyfriend and vanilla coke.(???)
Rini sat on a small pink beanbag at Usagi's feet, giggling at Rubius and Emerald who were fighting just above her. Usagi looked at her every now and then and smiled at her, making sure she was okay. Rini would smile back, and Usagi would go back to her nails. Across the room, Diamond and Sapphire were waiting patiently for Wise Man to appear. Diamond was lost in his own little dream world starring at Usagi, who didn't notice him in the least. Sapphire was thinking about someone with short black-green hair whom he had been forced to break up with a while ago.
Wise Man appeared. He showed up quite suddenly, everyone jumped, but Usagi, since she was used to seeing him pop up out of nowhere without warning. She continued to do her toenails. Rini cast a nervous look at Usagi, and Usagi smiled reassuringly.
Wise Man approached Rini, who tensed a bit, and tried to smile a bit. Wise Man patted Rini's head once and then backed up a bit. "Welcome, Small Lady. Do you know who I am?" Rini shook her head, letting her pigtails twirl around her face as she turned. "I am Wise Man, Usagi," He gestured to Usagi, who held up a V for victory sign with her fingers. "Is my daughter." Rini smiled at him, almost starting to become comfortable, held out her small hand for a handshake. Wise Man took it, and they shook hands. Rini felt the coldness, but smiled anyway.
"Now, Small Lady, we want to know a few things." He said.
"Shoot!" She smiled.
Wise Man nodded to Rubius, who turned to Rini.
"What was that power you emitted at Usagi, myself, and Prisma that came from your birthmark?" He asked, softly as to not scare her.
"I'm not sure, I had it before you made a siege the palace, though. Maybe from the silver crystal mommy had to use. I kinda lost it." Rini looked down in shame. Rubius smiled at bit at Rini to show that it really didn't matter to them.
"Wow, if I told Minako or Mamoru or the sailor scouts about that, they would have yelled at me." She said, "mommy doesn't like me much anyways, neither does daddy." She started to get a little sad, looking down to the floor beyond her fluffy pink beanbag and wiped her eyes.
Wise Man was a bit sympathetic. The only person he ever cared about was his daughter, but now he was starting to show some compassion for Small Lady. *Poor girl. * He thought.
Rubius asked a second question. "Where is the silver crystal in the present day earth?"
Rini looked up at him when she answered. "Minako has it, she has it locked up in her pen, she thinks she can handle its power, but she can't, she was in a coma for seven months after trying to use on one of her wounds. I thought it was kind of funny." She giggled. "But I know how to get it." She said to them, playing the one of the pink feathers that got loose from her beanbag.
Rubius smirked, and sat down. Wise Man came forward again. "How would you like to stay with us for a while? See how we live, I think you might like it if you see what we're really like. We're really aren't as brutal as we seem, except when it comes to getting what we want." He eyes Emerald, who was looking at Diamond longingly. He rolled his azure eyes.
Rini looked again at Usagi, who just looked at her, asking the same question. She looked at Rubius and Emerald, who were looking at her right then as well, and then she caught Emerald sneaking glances at Diamond. She giggled, and Emerald blushed a bit, noting that she had just been caught. Diamond didn't notice. Diamond was looking at Usagi, Rini made a note of.
*Hmmm, this could be fun! * She thought evilly. "Okay!!" She said gleefully. Usagi smiled, even Rubius managed to smirk a bit at the child's decision. Emerald looked a bit indifferent, Sapphire smiled at Small Lady, and Diamond was lost looking at Usagi, again. (AN: I want some emotional probation officers on this guy.)
"Good, now, Usagi, you and Rubius will be in charge of her. No excuses." He added when Rubius started to protest. Usagi smirked a bit.
"Wus-a-matter Rubius? Don't you want to spend time with Rini and me? It could be like one big family!!" She smirked at his outraged look. And then she got up and walked out of the room, her black heels were clanking on the black marble floor. Rini got up, grabbing her pink beanbag, and following Usagi out the door. Rubius 'humpf' and walked after them.
***
"Oh come on Rubius!! It's only for a few years!!" Usagi teased him.
"You're lucky Wise Man's your father or I would burn you to ashes!!!" He yelled at her, holding his fist to her face.
"No threatening in front of Small Lady, now. She's a new member to the family. It's up to use to teach her the ropes." She pointed to Rini, who was on Usagi's bed, watching in interest.
Rubius smirked. "Oh yeah." He turned to Rini. "Okay, Small Lady. This is your first lesson. Lesson 1: When dealing with a pesky blonde, THIS is the way you get rid of one."
He snuck up behind the confused Usagi and grabbed her waist, and squeezed all the air from her stomach, then bent her forward and broke her back. She coughed up some blood on the floor. Her reflexes already had healed her back, and then she growled at Rubius. Rini laughed at the two.
Usagi smirked. "And this is how you deal with THIS particular hot-head." She tripped Rubius to the floor and pinned him, and kneed him to a point of ultimate suffering, and then trapped him. If he 'was' to move, he would allow her to inflict a bunch of pain by means of stepping on his.umm.'danger zone.'
Rini was laughing now. "HAHAHA!!! Rubius got pinned!!" She sang, pissing Rubius off.
Usagi smiled at the defeated Rubius, who had just taken a very big blow to his pride. He frowned at Usagi as she got off him and walked over to lie on the bed, waiting for him to say something. Rubius only stood, and walked over to the wall and leaned there, eyes closed and his arms were crossed.
"Aww, Rubius is down in his pride. I didn't make you hurt that much did I Ruby?" She teased, giving him a new nickname.
Rini giggled. "Haha, Ruby! What are we going to do today?" Rini asked, turning to Usagi, giving her an expectant look.
Usagi looked at Rubius, who was still not offering any suggestions or even talking to Usagi for that matter. Usagi sighed. Then looked at Rini's attire. She winced at the cheep and VERY unfashionable schoolgirl uniform.
"Who gave you those clothes?" She practically growled.
Rini blushed a bit. "Umm.my mommy."
"How can you stand that? First thing we're gonna do is take you to get some clothes, and I know just the place. C'mon Rubius." Usagi grabbed Rubius' arm and dragged him and Rini out of the room and down the hall, then teleported to the past, where they would find some clothes for Rini.
***
By the end of the day, Rubius was stuck carrying a bunch of shopping bags for Rini, and a few for Usagi. There were skirts, tops, shoes, blouses, hair bands, brushes, a bunch of shampoo, conditioner, hair stuff, bracelets, necklaces, you name it, they most likely had it. They even bought a few playthings and a few DVDs to watch.
Rini skipped along in front of them with a little pink purse Usagi had bought for her, while Usagi walked with Rubius out of the mall.
"How do I get stuck doing this?" He growled into Usagi's ear.
"Get used to it, you get to bond with Rini tomorrow. All day while I get my break. Just don't take her anywhere near the Tokyo bridge. I have a previous engagement there tomorrow night. The sailor scouts want a rematch. If they're so desperate to die, they should just kill themselves. It would save me a lot of trouble. But then, where's the fun in that? Sorry, I'm being sadistic for a few days, but that's just around the sailors. If you want to join me." She smiled at Rubius, who just groaned.
"Fine, but that's just because I like inflicting pain on those little cheerleaders, not because I want to help you." He walked ahead, and Usagi slowed, glaring daggers at him.
*What a spore. He's even worse than Emerald. * She saw Rubius talking to Rini ahead of her. She smiled. *Aww, how sweet. Rubius is actually warming up to the kid. * The two laughed at something Rini said, and Usagi started to think. *Why am I suddenly jealous of the kid? Whatever. This is too much. First I'm warming up to Small Lady, now Rubius. Who next? Sailor Venus? * She thought for a second. Then smirked. *Nah. *
***
Rubius walked along with Rini, she had just told a joke, and he actually found it funny. Then he noticed that Usagi was walked some ways behind them. *Wonder what she's thinking. Knowing her, she's probably getting some wacky idea to get Sapphire and Prisma back together, like always. * He looked at her a bit closely. Her eyes were distant, she was deep in thought. *Hmm, she looks pretty when she's all serious like that. Such beautiful eyes, no wonder Diamond is totally gone on her. * He smiled again. *Great, I'm falling for Wise Man's daughter. How can things get any worse? *
Rini noticed Rubius looking at Usagi, a dazed look on his face, and Usagi was on in deep concentration. She smiled knowingly. *Hmm, wonder who she's thinking about? Maybe I can help Rubius, since he seems to like Usagi, but Diamond likes Usagi as well, Emerald likes Diamond, Sapphire and Prisma like each other, but whom does Usagi like? Maybe Rubius? I'll find out sooner or later. She'll tell me, I know she will. Rubius is an easy break. Maybe I can help this family get together after all. I like them all, they're nice. Maybe this can bring me into the family as well. Usagi and Rubius can be my new mommy and daddy! * She smiled at her idea, and began thinking of ways to get them together, but there was another question in the back of her mind. *What about the sailor scouts? If I go to Usagi's side, will I have to hurt them? Oh well, Minako and Mamoru would deserve it, but I don't want to hurt Rei, Ami, or Makoto. Maybe I should talk to Usagi about that. Yeah, that's what I'll do! * Her mind kept popping up with new questions, and she would get the answers, soon enough.
