Chapter 14 - Realizations…

It had been a few hours since ChibiUsa had been shot and Usagi was still in tears. She had gone to her room and was lying facedown on the bed, her cheeks moist with the tears that just seemed to keep coming without a break. She hadn't said a word since Haruka had carried her to the room she'd been staying in. There was no way ChibiUsa could still be alive. There was blood everywhere, when Usagi closed her eyes, that was all she could see… a veil of crimson red that covered everything in sight.

"Chibi… usa…" She whispered as loud sobs escaped from her throat. "IIE!" She shrieked as the realization finally hit her. "CHIBIUSA!!!"

****

Heero cringed when he heard a long sorrowful wail come from behind Usagi's closed door. He couldn't face her. He couldn't make it right… no, he couldn't, not this time. He had blown it; she wouldn't forgive him for something like that. He walked into the nearest room and punched the wall, angry with himself. He had to do it though; he had to shoot her. It was the only thing he could do in that situation.

"Kuso!" He growled as he punched the wall repeatedly until his knuckles were cracked and bleeding. I did it to protect Usagi… Heero told himself as he leaned his forehead against the wall, a look of anger shoving his mask aside. I HAD to do it! He continued as he slammed his fist into the wall again, successfully punching a hole into the wall.

"Heero?" A familiar voice asked from behind him. Heero turned around, putting the mask firmly in place to see a girl with blond hair that looked slightly like Usagi. That was Minako right? He didn't really want to see her right now.

"Leave me alone." He stated simply as he walked past her. Her hand grasped his shoulder as he passed, causing him to stop.

"Please, I want to talk to you." Minako urged as she looked at him. He shrugged her hand off and walked away, leaving her alone. "Damn it Heero!! You have to at least comfort Usa-chan!!" Minako growled after him. Heero didn't even falter in his steps as he walked down the hallway in the opposite direction of Usagi's room. "Damn him…" Minako growled to herself as she watched him go.

"O… otousan?" Black Lady's voice questioned painfully. "Am I… going to live?" She questioned, her red lips quivering in fear and pain.

"H… hai…" Endymion said as he held the woman's head up off the floor. "Hai, you'll be all right, Black Lady." He said with a faltering voice.

"Is Okaasan really that bad?" Black Lady questioned, her eyes filled with tears. "I really wish she were here…" Black Lady sobbed silently as she touched her chest. Endymion had tried to stop the bleeding but to no avail. It just kept coming, he couldn't get it to stop.

"Your mother doesn't love you. If she did, she would never have let this happen to you!" Endymion growled angrily.

"I'll be a good girl from now on Otousan, o-negai…" She cried as tears spilled from her eyes. "Don't let me die." Black Lady began to glow a bright silverish-white color as her tears feel.

"You were never a bad girl… it was all your mother… it's her fault this is happening to you… I'll make her pay, I promise that…" Endymion said as his eyes held a look of insanity and an evil cackle came from his throat, filling the whole area with it's revolting sound.

"Sarabada…" Black Lady said quietly as her eyes closed and the silver light disappeared.

"I'll make you pay for this Usagi…" Endymion said as the insane light lit up his eyes and his laughter filled the surrounding area. "You're going to die Usako."

****

Duo growled to himself as he sat in front of the television with the remote in his hand. He still had not clue what had been going on. The first thing he knew, he was walking to the gym with Minako and then the next thing he remembered was seeing that girl with pink hair disappear.

"Man, 500 channels and absolutely nothing on." He growled to himself as he turned the television off and leaned back against the couch. He closed his eyes and put his hands behind his head, a scowl on his face. What in the hell happened back there anyway? He asked himself as he rubbed his sore stomach with one hand. Damn, I must've been insane to attack Heero like that. He thought bitterly. What the hell could I have been thinking of? I'm really feeling it now though. He thought.

"Duo-kun?" A familiar voice questioned. Duo peeked open one eye and saw Minako standing above him with a worried look on her face.

"Hai?" He asked as he sat up, leaving her space to sit beside him.

"I'm worried about Heero and Usagi…" She said quietly with her eyes on the ground. "I mean, what Heero did was unforgivable demo, Usagi loves him!" Minako nearly shouted as she faced Duo.

"Whoa, slow down Minako." Duo said, surprised at her outburst. "Don't worry about them. They'll be all right." Duo said as he wrapped his arms around the girl. To his surprise, she lay against his chest and began to cry.

"I just want Usagi to be happy, I can't believe it's come down to this." She sobbed into his chest, gripping the material of his shirt tightly.

"Don't worry Minako, it'll turn out all right in the end." Duo said as he rubbed her back comfortingly. Wow, I really feel a connection with this girl. Duo thought to himself as he held the sobbing girl tightly.

****

Quatre rounded the corner when he heard crying and saw that a girl with blond hair was lying against Duo's chest sobbing.

"Usagi-chan?" Quatre questioned as he approached the pair. After a moment, he realized that it wasn't Usagi. "Wow, that girl looks a lot like Usagi." Quatre mused to himself as he carried the tray toward Usagi's room. She was most likely still in there. After a few minutes of walking through the twisting hallways, Quatre stopped at Usagi's door, knocking quietly. He could hear loud sobs from behind the closed door and cringed slightly at the sound. I can't believe what you did Heero… Quatre thought to himself as he called into Usagi. "Usagi-chan? It's Quatre, can I come in?" He asked as he knocked lightly again. He heard the sobs break off and then only sniffles for a few seconds.

"Hai Quatre-kun." Usagi called quietly from her spot on the bed. Quatre opened the door and walked in to see Usagi's grief-stricken face. He wanted to go over and hug her but he knew it wouldn't do any good.

"I brought you something to eat Usagi-chan." Quatre said as he set the tray on the table next to the bed. Usagi turned away from him and faced in the opposite direction.

"Gomen Quatre-kun, demo, I'm not hungry." Usagi said quietly with her face to the window.

"Demo, you have to eat something Usagi-chan. You'll make yourself sick." Quatre said quietly as he sat on the bed beside her. Usagi didn't answer. Quatre sighed and looked out the window, seeing the trees outside in full bloom and the blossoms on the cherry trees swaying lightly in a breeze. "I can't stand to see you like this Usagi-chan." Quatre started. "You saved my life, you kept me from doing something I would have regret for the rest of my life. Heero's going to leave you know! He's going to leave, and you're going to regret that for the rest of your life!"

"He shot ChibiUsa…" Usagi said quietly as another tear streamed down her face.

"It's the only thing he thought he could do to save you, Usagi. You've come this far; you can't let him walk away! He finally realizes that he loves you, you can't just throw that all away!" Quatre nearly shouted as he grabbed Usagi's shoulders lightly and turned her to face him. "I can't let you do that Imouto-chan." He said as he smiled at the girl with tears in his eyes.

"I… imouto-chan?" Usagi questioned, slightly surprised.

"You're like a little sister to me, Usagi-chan. I want to see you happy and I know you won't be if you let Heero go. I won't let you do it." Quatre said simply. "It's all right to be sad and to worry, demo, not if you let him go in the process."

"Arigato Quatre-kun…" Usagi whispered as she sobbed into Quatre's arms.

****

"I'll finish carrying out your plan Black Lady." Endymion said with an insane smile on his face. He picked up a small key and held it up in the air. "He's already there, demo, I'll just lure you back Usagi… then I'll kill you." Endymion said with a smirk.

He held the key above his head and a portal appeared. He waited for a minute before walking through with Black Lady's body in his arms. His outfit was covered in her blood but it didn't really matter. It was dark enough to hide the crimson red. Still, there was a trail of red that followed him from the spot they had come back to before her death.

"You're going to regret this one, Usako." He growled as the portal closed behind him.

****

Usagi ran out of the room, searching for Heero. She had already been running for about fifteen minutes, searching every room she passed. She had just come from his room, which was left empty. Iie… please don't say he left already… She thought to herself, silently wishing that he'd wait for her. O-negai… wait for me Heero-chan. Usagi inwardly begged.

"Heero!" She called as she ran through the hallways searching for his dark hair and strong arms. "Where are you?!" She called again as she kept on a course that neared the front door. As she was running past the door, the bell rang loudly through the front part of the mansion. "Nani? Who's here?" Usagi asked as she skidded to a stop, slipping on the marble tiles. She turned toward the door, hoping that it was Heero. "I'm coming!" She called as she walked to the door, opening it. Her smile faded quickly when she realized whom it was. "What are you doing here?" Usagi asked as she stared strangely at the person that stood there.

"Where is Heero?!" The girl demanded angrily. "Do hurry, I have an appointment in an hour. Where is he?"

"You're Relena, aren't you?" Usagi asked as she raised an eyebrow in question.

"Hai, demo, I don't have time to talk, especially not with you. Where is my husband?!" Relena demanded rudely.

"You have a lot of nerve, coming here uninvited and demanding to know where a guest that's staying here is!" Usagi growled at the blond. It was strange for Usagi to get mad, but this girl just seemed to crawl under Usagi's skin and bite.

"I want nothing to do with your nonsense. Just take me to my husband and I'll be on my way." Relena said calmly. Usagi growled low in the back of her throat and slammed the door in the woman's face before taking off down one of the hallways.

"Nani?" Relena growled as she stood on the front walkway. "What nerve! She has no right to slam the door in MY face. I'm Queen Relena-sama after all!" She growled.

****

Heero had gone to his room for a minute just to pick up the few items he still carried with him. They were very innumerous, demo, Heero could survive without having a lot of material things. He always had. He noticed something strange though. Usagi's crescent moon wand had been lying on his dresser. He picked it up and studied it closely for a moment before stuffing it into a small bag. He hoisted the bag onto his back and dug his hands deep into his jean pockets, he didn't glance to the side or behind him as he walked through the twisting hallways. Usagi wasn't going to forgive him so why should he stay. It was torture to see her cry. He silently promised himself that he would never make her cry again, if this was the only way then so be it.

"Heero-chan!" Heero heard a familiar voice faintly out of the maze of hallways. "Where are you?" The voice called again. Heero put his head down with his eyes closed. He wouldn't hurt her again, he couldn't stand to see that heartbroken look on her face. He had seen it far too often in the short time she had been there. "Matte! Don't leave me, o-negai!" Her voice cried, sounding closer now.

"Iie…" He said to himself as he increased his pace, heading in the opposite direction of her voice.

****

"You're Miss Relena-san ne?" Endymion asked as he appeared behind the baffled girl.

"Nani? Who are you?!" She demanded as she saw the well-dressed man holding the body of a girl with pink hair.

"I am NeoKing Endymion-sama." He explained. "How would you like to help me with something?" He asked with a smirk.

"Iie, I have things to attend to. I'm just searching for my husband." Relena explained as she went back to knocking on the door.

"It has to do with Heero." Endymion added with a smirk. Relena turned around to face the dark-haired man, a look of shock on her face.

"Nani? What about Heero?" Relena demanded angrily.

"I know a way to get him back for you, demo, you'll have to pledge you loyalty to me." Endymion explained as a long, jagged, black, crystal appeared in his hand.

"What are you?!?" She demanded as she leaned back slightly against the door in fear.

"I'm a savior to you." Endymion explained as he reached the crystal out toward her. "Take this and you'll be able to get rid of that blond girl that's stolen Heero from you."

"How does it work?" Relena asked suspiciously.

"All you have to do is touch it and you'll be able to kill that girl." Endymion explained as he held it out within her grasp. "Go on, take it." Endymion urged. Relena gingerly reached her hand out, touching the crystal with her fingertips. Black sparks of energy shot through her body and she cried out in pain. Endymion held up the crystal and drove it deeply into her chest, smirking evilly at the shrill cries that erupted from her throat.

"What… are you doing!?!" Relena shrieked as she felt the warm, sticky blood on her hands. The crystal slowly sank deeply into her chest, closing itself off inside of her heart. Her body slowly began to change. She grew in size and began to take on the appearance of some sort of monster with sharp teeth and long red fingernails. "What have you done to me?!" Her deepening voice cried in terror as she looked at her changing body.

Your heart is as twisted as mine is. Now I have the perfect weapon to defeat Usako. I'll just have to tell this girl that once she kills Usagi and Heero kisses her, she'll be turned back to normal. Girls are suckers for happy endings and fairy tales. That should be the motivation she needs. Of course, it's all a lie. Endymion mused to himself.

"Now, go kill that blond girl, then Heero will be all yours." Endymion said confidently. Endymion gripped the time key in his fist tightly. My little gift should be arriving in Crystal Tokyo about now. Endymion thought to himself. Everything is going perfectly as planned… I never intended on killed Usagi though. It's the least I can do for Black Lady's death though.

"Setsuna, when can we go through?" Makoto asked aggravated. "We've been sitting here forever, Usagi could be in danger."

"I fear that Crystal Tokyo is in more danger than Usagi is at this point." Setsuna said calmly as a picture of the peaceful city appeared in front of them. The peaceful city was no longer peaceful. There was a great many monsters attacking the palace as a whole.

"Nani!!" Makoto cried in surprise as she saw the destruction they were causing. "We have to go fight them!"

"They're too strong Mako-chan." Ami commented as she used her computer to scan the amount of power projecting from the monsters.

"Ami is right. I haven't been able to locate where these creatures have come from but they are far stronger than anything the Senshi have faced thus far." Setsuna explained. "The rest of the Senshi must return if they are going to be defeated."

"Demo, we can't make Usagi leave Heero like that." Makoto said sadly. "I can't stand to see that heartbroken look. That look of betrayal she had when she remembered him the first time."

"I know Makoto, demo, she has to come back. It's too dangerous otherwise." Setsuna explained.

"Send us back, Setsuna. We will use our powers to try and protect the city until the rest of the Senshi come back." Ami begged as she typed a few things into the computer. She was trying to form a plan to seal out the evil creatures.

"I can't-" Setsuna started.

"You have to!" Makoto broke in, a look of sheer terror in her eyes. Setsuna nodded sadly.

"Hai, if you must." She agreed. "Demo, try to save your energy for when Usagi returns ne?"

"Hai Pluto-san." Makoto said giving Setsuna a thumbs up.

****

"Heero-chan!" Usagi called as she ran through the hallways. She was still searching and was quite lost at this point. She was running at top speed and didn't even see him when she ran right into him.

"Usagi-chan…" Heero whispered as he helped the blond to her feet. She flung herself into his arms and began to weep uncontrollably.

"O-negai! Don't go! Don't leave me again!" She sobbed as she tightened her arms around him. He was surprised and it shown on his face. He pushed her away almost a little roughly and refused to look her in the eye.

"Iie. Don't come near me." Heero almost growled out as he kept his eyes squeezed shut.

"Demo, Heero-chan. Ai-" She was cut off by a deep growling.

"HEEERRRRROOOOO!!!!"
