Lonesailor: Thankies! Glad 2 know you enjoyed it!
: Well, thankx!!! But I think I'm just going to turn Rei evil. This chapter was done before hand, so I really can't say very much to that, but yes, I think I'm gonna kill Mamo-baka and maybe give Minako a few kicks in the ass. ^_^
Miyo Makibi: Thanks a lot! Thanks for reviewing!!!
Terra Tsuki: F...f...favorites?!?! *blushes* OMG!!! Thank you! I am forever in your debt!!!
Jean-Hime: Glad your still reading! I get discouraged if someone quits reviewing.
Luna Tiarra: OMG, you thought of Rubius/Usagi 2? Wicked!!! They do make since don't they? I mean red and white makes pink right? Well, Usagi really has silver, but what's the difference, right?
Kage-Shadow-of- Darkness: Fluffy? Oh, geez, I kinda made this chapter a bit fluffy, but believe me, if I had known, I would have cut it. Anythin for my fans. Yep, I usually hate Rini as well, but I just had to get that good side of her in this fic, didn't I? Now I think I'm actually starting to like her! Yikes! No way!!!
tasheka: Oh don't worry, she gets together with Rubius!!! ^_^
Authoress*Crest: Shoot gal, you must like this fic to review it twice for each chapter when you could just put both comments under one chapter. YAY!!! More reviews 4 me!!! ^_^
Taiyl: I enjoy the moments as well, you're gonna get a lot of 'em in this chapter. Surry if that annoys any1!!!
Galexz: an emotional probation offiver is someone who makes sure that someone doesn't go completely crazy with emotions expressed to someone who doesn't like them back. Now you know!! You just learned somethin new!!!
amara: Well, I wanted to get some very bizarre couple that usually would hate each others guts, and I picked someone who would give a logial explaination to how Rini got pink hair. *shrug* hence the coupling. Thanks for reviewing!!!
AMYANGEL: *smiles* This story just seems to make people see a different side of everyone doesn't it? I mean, hateful Rubius becomes all emotional around Usagi, Rini is all nice to Usaig and Rubius and HATES Mamoru. Now there is a switch!!!
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos: I looked at those websites, DUDE!!! Those guys are totally hot!! Oh, and how do you do that funky 's' thing at the end of 'Weiss'. I just can't figure that out! Yes, Rei is the only one that is going to be evil in this fic. Maybe I'll write another of the same coupling and make them all evil. *shrug* could be interesting, but I find this a pretty good idea.
Uranus knight: DUDE! Did you change your name? I could swear that it was different last time...Oh well, thanks for that idea. I might bring the outers. We'll have to wait and see.
Chapter 6: Starburst
Rubius was reading one of Usagi's horror novels she wanted him to read. So far it was very interesting. What made it even juicier was that it was thundering outside, a really made lightening storm was going on, you could hear it as it vibrated the palace walls. Everyone was supposed to be asleep, and he thought it would be a good night to read the book, since it fit the activities going on outside. He smiled as he started to read the best part, and just as the biggest and loudest bolt of lightening hit.
The door swung open, and all Rubius saw was a blur of pink and red. Then he found a small bundle in his lap, curled up and it shook violently when the lightening hit again. He tried to figure what it was, until a small bit of the objects face was shown. It was Rini! She was curled up in his lap, obviously afraid of the lightening. He picked her up by the arm pits and held her so he could see her tear stained face.
"Rini?" He questioned her softly. "Are you scared?"
She shook her head quickly, but then ducked into his lap again when another bolt of lightening hit outside, making the ground shake with the impact.
Rubius smiled at the shacking bundle in his lap, and then picked her up again to cradle her in his arms. She whispered soothing words to her, to calm her down, despite the fact that she still shivered with the coldness of the room that Rubius had grown accustomed to over the years of living there. He pulled out a blanket and covered Rini with it, while she still sat in his lap.
"It's okay, it'll all be gone soon. No need to worry, it's not going to hurt you." He said to her, in the softest voice he would allow. *You're loosin it, Rubius, keep your cool, man. It's only a small girl, she can't make you loose your pride like Usagi did.. right? * He growled.
Rini looked up at the disturbed Rubius. "You're angry. Are you mad at me?" She asked.
His gaze softened as he looked at her. "No, Small Lady. I'm just thinking, that's all." He said.
Rini smiled knowingly. "About Usagi?" She teased.
Rubius face faulted. Keeping his posture, he looked at her, frowning just a bit. "Now why would you say a thing like that?" He said, slightly annoyed that she thought he was thinking about the one person who could make him loose his concentration. Also the first person who had ever even been the cause of his major ego drop. But even he had to admit, he was a bit attracted to the evil blonde girl.
Rini smiled. "Because you like her, and don't try to deny it, I already know."
Rubius was blushing a bit, despite his attempts to keep under control. "How would you know."
"Because you blush every time I say her name, and I've seen you looking at her. It's the same way Mamoru looks at Minako, and the same way Emerald looks at Diamond. It's all the same. You think I don't notice but I do. Does she like you back?" She asked.
Rubius chuckled at the wittiness of the child. She had a sharp eye; he'd give her that. But she did have a good question. *Does she like me back? * He wished she did. But he realized that the chances were very, very slim. "Don't get your hopes up, Small Lady. It's obvious she likes Diamond. And Diamond likes her back. That's just the way it has to work. I mean think about it, Wise Man and Diamond are already thinking about where the new palace on Nemesis is going to be, and face it, I can't compete with Diamond. He's the one who has damsels fawning all over him. I'm just one of the generals, hot, but just a general. Usagi's a princess, and she deserves her prince. I'm destined to be alone. All generals are. That's the same reason Prisma and Sapphire didn't last. She's a general, and he's a prince. That's just way it goes."
Rini started to protest. "But I've seen it in the way she looks at you! You two seem like you like being around each other! And how many times have you seen Diamond and Usagi together? I haven't. I've just seen his starring at her, I bet he doesn't even have the guts to ask her out."
Rubius laughed. "Well, technically, neither do I. We've done nothing but disagree and fight sense she arrived here."
Rini smiled. "But you're not afraid to be yourself in front of her, and neither is she. You haven't been holding back in front of each other, and I know Usagi likes you! And I'm going to prove it!" She started to march out of the room, but the lightening hit again, and she pounced back into Rubius' bed and under the covers in fear. "But, first, can I sleep in here tonight? I don't like thunder." She smiled nervously.
Rubius sighed a bit, shaking his head. Then climbed into the bed next to Rini, who snuggled up to his chest, which was hidden under his loose white T-shirt. He turned off the light, and put his arms around the small child. "Good night, chibi tenshi." He whispered to her, and she smiled a bit.
(AN: Sorry, just had to give her a nick name. ^_^ I thought it was cute!)
***
Usagi slept silently in her bed. The lightening was unusually soothing that night. She fell asleep instantly, soft snores coming from her room. She didn't notice the silver pair of eyes that were watching her from outside her room, in the hallway, just starring at her.
*So beautiful. Soon she'll be mine, and she'll only smile and have eyes for me. *
(AN: HA! Yeah right! N ur dreams pal.Okay, I'll leave now.)
Diamond walked down the empty hallway, empty always at this time of night. The black marble walls were glimmering with the streaks of the lightening outside. He entered the room that he caught Usagi most frequently in. It was a room full of windows, no walls, so she could see every side of the kingdom. She seemed to love looking at it. There was a blue rose lying on the ground. It was rare that a blue rose was ever seen, but Usagi had found one among all the peaches and pinks in the garden around the palace, planted to make it look more elegant, because the people of Nemesis, although very evil, were very elegant.
Diamond picked it up, and looked through the window. Then he did a double take when he realized that someone was out. A emerald haired woman was walking through the garden, alone, in nothing but her hot pink night gown. He smiled adoringly at her. *You'd never know how beautiful she was if she was always dressed in that showy dress of hers. *
***
Luna and Artemis were pacing in the temple, talking amongst themselves.
"That girl, Usagi, she so closely resembled the Moon Princess, I could've sworn they were the same person. But she was evil. She couldn't be the princess, could she?" Luna questioned.
Artemis was sitting down on the wood floor, deep in thought. "She might as well be. Rini said she felt like she was safe and secure around her. For all we know, she could be Rini's true mother. We know that Minako is not Rini's real mother, it was a mistake. Mamoru was supposed to be with someone else originally, but he's with Minako. If only Pluto was here, she would know what to do."
"But Usagi killed Pluto, we saw her blood in the clouds as it rained. If Usagi killed Pluto, who knows what else she could do to us! We have to go to the future and get Rini back. There is no other way. Who knows what they could be doing to her!"
"But if Pluto's dead, the time gates must be destroyed. That must be why Usagi killed Pluto! To make sure that all the passages to the future were closed! Princess Serenity was always a clever girl. But I have a feeling there are more behind her. What about that red haired man? And the four sisters? Why haven't they shown themselves in such a long time?"
"They have Rini, what else could they possibly want?"
"I'd hate to find out." Luna said, looking down. "I feel so bad. Poor Rini could be in trouble. They could be torturing her for answers to those 'questions' Usagi mentioned before she took Rini away."
"The Scouts won't do it. The only one who seems to care is Rei. Ami, Makoto, Minako and Mamoru are just going about their business as if nothing had happened! Heck, Mamoru and Minako are almost happy Rini is gone!"
"Then what are we going to do? The Negaverse could take over the earth any day now with Rini on their side! No matter if they like Rini or not, we have to save her before it's too late!!"
***
Usagi woke up in the middle of the night. It was cold in her room, unusually cold, colder than usual. She got up and went to the closet and pulled out a Japanese robe she bought with Rini the previous day. She wrapped it tight around herself, and walked out of the room. She walked the hall, close to the room she knew that Rini would be in. She thought to check on her, because she knew that the Queen was scared of lightening. Maybe she rubbed off on the child and she was hiding helplessly under the sheets or something. She opened the door, cautiously in case she was asleep. There was no sound. She opened it even more to see inside. The bed was empty!
Usagi panicked a bit. She thought to go get Rubius to help her search for the girl. She hurried to his room, where she heard his soft snores, and something else, but she didn't think to try and place it. She zoomed into the room, and walked to the bed. She was about to shack Rubius awake when she noticed that someone was in the bed with him! She slowly and quietly turned the other figure over.
She smiled at how cute the sight was. Rubius and Rini, sleeping with Rini curled up on him. *She must have come in here since he was closer when she heard the thunder and lightening. * She was amazed at how much she looked like Rubius. The same face, defiantly his stubborn attitude. The hair was a mystery. She smirked. *All he has to do is marry a white or silver haired woman and they have a Rini look-alike. * She slowly bent to kiss Rini on the forehead. She thought a moment, then kissed Rubius as well, as if he was a child. *What's the difference between those two, Rubius and Rini both act like children. * She slowly walked out of the room, and whispered a silent goodnight to the sleeping pair and closed the door.
A pair of red eyes flickered open, and the lips of the person smiled. *She really does love him. And me! Mommy never kissed me goodnight. * She frowned a bit, and then looked to the sleeping face of Rubius. She smiled and then curled up again. At least these people take care of me. Minako and Mamoru could care less. I know it now, Rubius and Usagi are meant to be together. And then they can adopt me and I'll be their daughter!!! Yeah! * She smirked at her idea. It would have made Sapphire fall over laughing hysterically to see how much she looked like Rubius just then, then she fell asleep again, dreaming of the future she had in mind for herself.
