Silver and Rubies
By: Princess Ashley
Hello again!!! I'm getting blown away with all the reviews I'm getting. Here we go!! Thank you's first:
Xelena: Longer chapter? I guess I could try. But I'm on the brink of 3,000 words a chapter, so cut me some slack! ^_^
Kage-Shadow-of-Darkness: Really? Kool! Wish I could do that, except I would probably hit my brother unconscious. He starts crying if I even start to take harshly at him. He's literally an 11-year-old baby! ^_^ Okay, if you don't like fluffiness. You won't find much in this chapter. Fair warning. Usagi is a bit harsh with Rini in this fic.
AMYANGEL: Isn't it? Yep, Rubius can be sweet sometimes. Well. you're not going to think he's that sweet after this chapter!! ^_^
Zpan Sven: Yeah, I hope so 2, this couple is really starting 2 grow on me.
Sailor Omega/What Valkerie: Kewl name! Nope, the Black Moon Family is bad, but I got the inspiration 4 this fic after watching where Sapphire died, and after the SM people defeated Rubius. I decided Rubius and the Black Moon family weren't so bad. So, hence the fic!! And might I add, it's a hit!!
KrazyKira: You hate 2 say it? Geez, I thought I was more effective than that..j/k ^_^ Glad you like it!
Lonescout: .and I eagerly start to make the next chapter.and what a coincidence! Here it is!!
Authoress*Crest: I looked at it. Totally kewl!! I love it! Hilarious!! Thankx, I enjoyed it. ^_^. Yep, Rubius is nice 2 Rini; may I warn you that Usagi may be a bit OOC in this chapter? She's going to be a bit harsh with Rini here, you'll find out why in a minute.
Kii: You're back!? Wicked! I feel so loved. One question.what's a beta reader? ?_? (^_^) Thankx a lot!
SwTcAnDiE: Aww shucks. *blushes* Thank you! Ü
Jean-Hime: Well, I needed 2 to the father/daughter-bonding thing in there somewhere, just thought that was the best place.
IntellieDragon: In love with it? Good choice of words! J/k
Starfury3000: Oh, I think you've waited long enough.
Elven mistress: No need to get personal, here's the next chapter, am I spared? Hope so, if you torture me I won't be able to put up the next chapter, which will make you wait even longer so I really don't think violence is going to help anything. ^_^
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos: I agree, Aya is the best. Besides, my best friend already has dibs on Ken and she doesn't even know what Weiss Kreuz is. ????? Don't ask me. She's just stupid like that. ^_^
Chapter 7: Restored
Rubius woke when the door was swung open, and there was cheery and beautiful Usagi, waking him up for no reason at all. But he was secretly glad to wake up with her in the room.
"Wake up, Ruby! We gots to go get Rini some energy from the dark crystal. It's time she started to train!" She smiled as she found Rini next to Rubius, waking up and squinting to get used to the light.
She smiled when she saw Usagi there, then looked between Rubius and Usagi. Rubius was trying to look annoyed, in which he was succeeding. "Hi Usagi- mama! What are we going to do today!?" She asked.
*Usagi-mama? Where'd she get that from? * Usagi thought, then she crossed and tapped her on the nose. "We are going to get you some energy from the dark crystal, then you can have the same powers we have. But we're still going to be stronger since we've had it for longer. But you can still beat the scouts' butt with it." She teased her, and Rini smirked.
Usagi fell over laughing. "I swear, if I hadn't known that she was Minako and Mamoru's child, I would have sworn she was yours, Rubius! Look at that smirk! You could be twins!!!" She laughed harder.
Rubius scowled at her. He crawled out of bed and grabbed Usagi by the hair and took Rini's hand and together they dragged Usagi out of the room and into the Great Hall where they found an enormous sized Black Crystal. Rini went with Wise Man to the Black Crystal while both of the fighting Rubius and Usagi went to the other side where Rubius activated the chip that controlled it. Usagi pulled his hair as pay back, and he winced, then he knocked Usagi entirely into the Dark Crystal.
"HEY!!!" She yelled, and then disappeared into the enormous crystal.
Rini gasped, Wise Man about laughed, and Rubius just shrugged nonchalantly. "Oops." He stated, then looked when the Dark Crystal began to disperse a large amount of dark energy, then a demon looking figure was launched from the crystal. Then out came Usagi, but she was darker than usual.
She flicked her earrings and then looked around, stretching. "Just what I needed, a power boost! I must have lost it for a few minutes!" She yawned.
Her nightgown was gone, she wore a hot pink tank top, and a black leather short shorts and knee high black boots, with heels about 3 inches. Her was odango-styled, once again. She was the vision of a perfect demon. She smiled evilly at Rubius. "Your turn!" She launched herself at Rubius, who fell backwards and was sucked into the crystal just as Usagi had been.
Fire was launched from the crystal, and then Rubius popped out. His hair was flaming red, and his eyes were even darker then before. His uniform was the same as before, but the colors were made a bit brighter. His eyes sparkled. "Well, that was an adventure." He smirked at Usagi, who was frowning at him, and then she turned, one had on her hip and the other hanging by her side towards Rini and Wise Man, with Rini looking on in shock.
"Don't worry, Small Lady, it doesn't hurt, actually it's quite refreshing, like the way you feel when you first stand up after a massage. Makes you feel more alive inside. Go on." Wise Man nudged Rini forward, who took a few hesitant steps toward the crystal. She looked to Usagi and Rubius, but they were busy glaring at each other to notice that she was about to go in.
*Here goes nothing. * She breathed, then jumped off the balcony, and the black bolts took hold of her body and she was sucked into the crystal. There were large amounts of light energy dispersing from the dark crystal, then nothing.
Usagi looked on in excitement. "I don't think she's allowed to be in there that long. She could be hurt." But she didn't look worried at all; it was like she was mocking a bit.
Wise Man looked at her. *Amazing what the dark crystal does to her, one minute she all but loving around the child, and now she could care less. Chibi tenshi, what her mother called her. I called her Shinemegami. The goddess of death. About time she started to act like it if she's going to train the child. Just hope she's not too harsh. That child has taken a liking to both her and Rubius. Why do I feel a special bond between all three of them? *
Usagi was patient, as was Rubius, who leaned against the railing of the balcony as Usagi had both her elbows on it and had her fists supporting her head, looking into the crystal. She could see the little girl, who was slowly growing evil. *Funny how so much light in that child, and yet she takes to the evil ones a lot better than she does with her so-called protectors. * They thought at the same time.
Finally, after along wait, and a lot of bored moans from Usagi, Rini popped out, and onto the ground. Her eyes were flaming, her hair was a bit darker, almost red like Rubius'. Her muscles had toned a bit, and her face was more slender, and she was taller. She wore a dark blue sleeveless, and pair of short shorts like Usagi's, and ankle boots.
Usagi was acting like the evil teenager she was again. "Well, well, well. She's actually starting to look like one of us." She hissed, snake-like.
Rini looked at Usagi, almost hurt. But then Usagi's eyes turned down into a wink at the small girl. And Rini smiled again. *Same old Usagi, just a bit darker. I think I could get the hang of this. Plus I get the cool clothes. I can look just like Usagi-mama!!! *
***
Luna looked up in terror. She just felt some of Rini's light energy leave her body. "Oh my!!!" She cried.
Ami looked up from her book she was currently reading. "What is it, Luna?" She asked, a bit worried by the look of horror on Luna's face, and that wasn't a very common thing to see.
"I just felt some of Rini's light energy disperse from her body!!!" she screamed.
Minako, who had previously been making out with Mamoru, looked over to Luna. "Meaning..?"
"That Rini is turning over to the evil side, they are making her one of them! She's go against us!" Luna jumped to the table and sat, trying to calm herself down.
"Fine by me, then I actually have an excuse to destroy the brat." Minako smirked, as did Mamoru, who had a dreamy expression on his face.
"Does that mean she will be on the same side as that woman we fought last?" He asked.
"Yes, Usagi. She may as well be the Moon Princess. The true holder of the Silver Crystal. And if she is, we are all in grave danger. She has more power than all of us put together. I can feel the evil energy surround her body. If she gets to much of it, she can instantly get the silver crystal without even setting a foot near Minako or any of us for that matter."
"I take it that's bad." Minako said, and might I add, having a very, very, VERY, bad blonde moment.
"Duh!!" Rei shouted. "We've got to do something!"
"Calm down Rei. Luna, we can beat anyone and anything. Don't worry, killing the brat and the moon princess is going to be no problem." Minako reassured everyone.
Luna hissed at Minako. "Really? Oh, from the looks of you last time we fought against just Usagi alone, you are really reassuring Minako." Luna mocked.
"Yeah, oh, remind me, how many times did you have to wash your hair to get rid of all the blood and the sand in your hair?" Rei asked her, smirking at the fuming Minako, who was just getting ready to pounce.
"YOU BITCH!!!" Minako hissed at them.
Rei growled. "Careful Minako, or you'll be surprised on how many ways I can toast your whole body and put it on fillet, but you know, I doubt you would look very appetizing." She said, frowning at Minako, with her arms crossed.
Makoto, who had been silent the whole time, started to defend her leader. "Oh yeah, Rei? From your attitude, why don't you just go join those Negatrash? You would fit in real well."
Rei didn't even try to make a comeback. She just stood up, and smiled at them all. "That's a good idea, Makoto. At least they have enough brains to want to kick Minako out of the Queen's spot. With her as a leader, I can see the empire going into mortal disaster." She walked out of the room, with Luna and Artemis following her.
Minako called to Rei and Luna, "Fine, we don't need you! Don't worry, you'll regret leaving!" Then she added a sad comment to Artemis. "You too Artemis? I thought you were my friend." She pouted.
Artemis looked at her in disgust. "Cry baby." Then scurried off after Rei and Luna.
***
Usagi was walking around the park; Rubius and Rini had gone to start Rini's first stage of training. *Wonder how it's going. Hope he's beating that girl into shape. It's going to take a lot to get rid of those squirts while they still have the silver crystal. Though beating the crap out Venus was a bit entertaining. * She chuckled.
She heard a twig snap from behind her, she turned to see a familiar looking black cat. But she couldn't place where she had seen it before. Instead, she bent down to pet it.
It purred while her delicate hand stroked its chin. Then it looked up at Usagi, and somehow, its eyes looked like they had just gotten hit with realization. Usagi looked confused, but it all came together once she heard a voice.
"Luna?"
She looked up and saw a familiar raven-haired priestess, who starred at her in shock. "Usagi?"
***
Uh oh, what's going to happen? Is Rei going to fight Usagi? Or maybe just the opposite. *hint hint. * Okay, if you really want to know, read the last sentence before Rei leaves the temple. You might figure it out then, if not, you're a very sad person.
