Aqua Cameo
Ch 11
"...When first we practice to decieve"
Usagi felt the stares of her senshi and of her beloved. She took a calming breath, willing herself to settle down. Michiru stood up next to her, offering what litle support she could give to her fragile pincess.
"Usagi..." Setsuna began.
"I can do it Setsuna-san. I have to. I have to accept it." Usagi said, bowing her head.
The senshi sat back in their seats, wishing they had bowls of popcorn to go with the suspenseful action happening right in front of them. Usagi took a deep breath.
"Well you all know how the millenium ended..."
"Yes, you killed yourself, The outers summed Saturn who destroyed the world but we were saved by the power of the Silver Crystal." Rei said as if they were going over old news.
"That's not even half of it." Haruka said softly. "You four don't know."
The inners looked at Haruka, themselves and then Usagi, confusion growing with every second.
"But we saw you..." Makoto said.
"The s-s-sword." Minako stuttered.
"The blood!" Ami cried.
"You didn't really do it did you?" Rei asked in a whisper. All eyes were riveted to Rei and then to Usagi.
"No, I was hit in the side when Beryl struck Endymion," Usagi said, burying her face into a very surprised Mamoru. He had been the only one too near death to regain conscienceness. So he knew nothing of the moments after Beryl had killed him.
"I was too weak from the loss of blood and other things to do anything but faint. When I woke up--"
"What do you mean other things?" Mamoru said, Usagi immediately blushed.
"What do you know about that we don't?" Minako said with a cautious glare.
"What have you been hiding?" Makoto demanded.
"When Selene was betrayed, the pearl necklace she had been given, began to loose its shine." Haruka said
"The necklace was put away, hiding the memories from its mistress until one day when a rather ambitous young moon princess found it, and wished that she would never have to fight alone as Sailor Moon. The pearl reacted to the purity in the tiny girl and it was transformed into a small pink transformation crystal. The crystal was then passed on from Mother to daughter as a training device to the greater Sailor Moon powers." Setsuna explained
"Sailor Chibi Moon." replied the senshi in unison.
"I don't understand." Rei said "WHat does this have to do--"
"You were pregnant weren't you?" Ami said bluntly.
Gazes returned to Usagi. She merely nodded.
"And the peridot medal?"
Mamoru had effectively broken the silence between the girls
"Your ties ornament." Haruka said.
Mamoru was silent, thinking of the many times he had wished for someone or his planet to be alright and it had instanley came to pass. The power of the peridot, he thought, this story was growing more and more curious by the second.
"What about the Cameo and the earring then?" asked Minako
"Our anchestors traded the items as a reminder of their friendship. I gave the cameo back to Michiru as a Sign of our love." Haruka said. " And this is where we come in."
"When I accepted the Cameo frome Haruka, it let off the essence of our love for each other, which Rhea, the queen of Saturn, picked up on. She chose me as the surrogate to HOtaru. Hotaru was nearly six months old when the Millenium fell." Michiru said flately.
"I am still lost." Makoto said
Setsuna shook her head. Usagi was in tears from the memory, Haruka and Michiru still in pain from them and the inners angry for having been denied them. Hotaru sat back, her eyes showing her wisdom,
"When Chibi-usa was concieved, it began the curse Andromeda had placed on Ravena." The little girl began. "The curse was that Ravena would feel what it was like to lose the freindship and love of the person most dear to her. When Ravena chose to her surrogate mother, she chose a lesser ranking princess of the Millenium. An Asteriod Princess, still a senshi but not a Crown princess. and so forth and until Rhea was born and chose Michiru as her surrogate. When I was born, I began the curse. The friend was to be the daughter of Andromeda. The daughter of Sailor Earth."
"There is no Sailor Earth! There hasn't been since..." Darien began
"Since your Mother." Hotaru said quietly. "Which would make you Sailor Earth so to speak."
"And the daughter of Sailor Earth would of been..." Minako answered.
"CHibi-usa." Makoto said.
Haruka picked up the story
"After Hotaru was born, Setsuna came to us and told us about the curse, her own jewel, the orb, had detected the destroyer and It was our job to defend the Universe from anything...including one of us. When we realised what was going on, we hurried to the moon, but it had already started."
"What had?" the inner girls and Mamoru asked in one voice.
"The massacre." Michiru whispered.
"Who started it?" Ami demanded.
"I did. I killed everyone. I ended the Milleniium, not Sailor Saturn."
Everyine stared, shocked at the voice of confession.
Usagi.
