The Punishment: Chapter 2/ The Truth
At Michiru mansion, Setsuna called a senshi meeting.
Setsuna you look like your going to a funeral, what's this meeting going to be about? Asked Haruka.
I'll tell you when everyone is here.
Alright Huruka replied.
But Haruka
Yeah
I know how much you take your mission in life seriously, and know how your actions are Please if something is said, or done that you don't like try to understand the circumstances surrounding this situation. Feeling may get hurt, friendships may end, and Loyalty will be tested and questioned. I guess what I trying say is don't go off the deep end.
Setsuna I don't like what I'm hearing. Is there a trader among the senshi
No, of course not!!! But I'm about to deliver some disturbing news to one of them. I don't know how she's going to take it. She might understand, but on some level she may feel betrayed.
Setsuna, Haruka called.
Setsuna looked in off in space and walked off.
One by one all the senshi included Marmoru, Luna, and Artemis arrived.
Thank you, for all coming.
Setsuna is there a new threat Marmoru said
No, but there is something I have got to tell someone in here. It's not going to be pretty, but try to understand why this was done. It feels like forever I've held this secret from one of you.
Usagi lowered her head on the verge of tears, but fought them.
Haruka looked at Usagi and knew that knew what was going on.
Well I guess I've sat on this long enough and what I wanna say is That one of you has a twin brother.
Everyone except Setsuna and Usagi gasped
Michiru began to ask "why--
Setsuna quickly finished her sentence "why didn't I tell you guys."
Well let me explain why I've kept this secret. In the Silver Millennium we the princesses of our respective planet took an oath to protect the princess of the moon. However during the fight with Queen Beryal one of you chose to ignore that oath and save your brother instead of The Princess.
You can't hold that against whoever she is. It was a hard decision Makoto snapped.
She's right that's not a good reason to keep someone from a loved one. It's like being between a rock and a hard place. said Minako who backed Makoto up.
Haruka butted in, Setsuna to make a long story short, just tell us!!!
Alright I've dreaded this moment for years thought Setsuna.
Setsuna took a few feet forward.
All the Senshi held their breath
Usagi turned to Marmoru for comfort with tears in her eyes, knowing that one of her friends will be hurt.
Only seconds had passed but, for the senshi an eternity.
Setsuna walked passed Haruka, Ami, Usagi, Marmoru, Minako, Makoto, and Michiru. She got to
the end where Hotaru and Rei stood. Both young girls breathing and heart, beats were rapid. The
tension in the room grew that it could cut with a knife.
Hotaru swallowed hard looking down with tears threatening to fall. Rei stared into Setsuna eyes
trying to read them, but as usual found nothing but a mystery.
All the other senshi held their breath still, even if it wasn't them.
Setsuna continued to stare at both of them.
No...No...No Rei said in a whisper
Rei looked at Hotaru wanting Setsuna to say it was her and Hotaru wanted it to be Rei
Setsuna started I'm deeply sorry, if this causes you any pain.....Rei.
Rei's eyes hardened than usual trying hard not to let her tears fall, but not even her strong will
could stop them.
Rei suck to the ground desperately gasping for air.
Hotaru was relived, but on the other hand sad and bent down to help Rei.
How . . . Could.....You Rei said between gasps for air. As Usagi ran to her best friend
It wasn't my decision Rei.
Then who's was it Usagi Demanded.
Your Mother's Queen Serenity.
How dare that bitch!
Hakaru was ready to strike when she heard this, but was strongly cautioned by Setsuna with a glare.
Rei the Queen meant no harm she just wanted you to do your job and protect The Princess without distraction.
Rei scoffed. The Princess, The Princess, The Princess. Why does our lives revolve around her? Why is my life always about her? Our lives have been put on the line time and time again. Just to make sure she and her boyfriend reach their goal of King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo. Admit it Setsuna go ahead. The Queen was protecting her Usagi. Regardless to what happens to us. She only has her daughter best interest at hand. She doesn't give a damn about us. As long as her daughter lives a life full of love. The hell with the rest of us.
You know that's not true Rei! Makoto shouted
But it is. The Queen, her daughter, and her boyfriend don't care about any of us, along as they get what they want.
Marmoru stood up Rei you know we all care about each other. Your --
Shut-up you Baka
You can't be serious, in saying that you care. When you found out Usagi was the Moon Princess you forgot about me. You didn't even bother to break-up with me. Even when you got your memory back you didn't even notice that I was even hurt. But as long as you got Usagi right.
Harukra had enough of Rei's rantings. She gave Rei a right cross.
Look Rei you're either part of this team or not! I know this is a shock, but you can't blame The Queen or The Princess.
Oh it's my fault I forgot the Queen and Princess are never wrong. Well your defending your Princess and Queen well as always, you suck-up.
Makoto and Michiru grabbed Haruka from what she was about to do, which was to beat the hell out of Rei.
Setsuna where is he.
Another dimension.
What?!
She made it so you were born in different dimensions.
Rei started to laugh between her laugh she said "that bitch." Is that why we can't remember The Silver Millennium, because she didn't want us to find out some dirty secrets she keeps?
Rei Usagi said
No don't talk to me, now, because if I do I might say something you will regret.
Usagi looked into Rei's eyes that always an held an icy glare, but none of the glares she saw through the years none came close to this one.
Setsuna tell me everything you know about him.
Come Rei we have a lot to talk about.
Rei picked herself off the ground where Haruka dropped her
A teary eyed Usagi saw her now supposedly best friend walk away.
I didn't mean you guys
Usagi it's not your fault said Minako
But she's right your lives do revolve around me
And we wouldn't have it any other way Ami said
Everyone else replied YEAH!!!!
I'm sure Rei didn't mean what she said, she just needs time to process all this. And you and Rei will be in your silly fights in no time said Hotaru.
But Haruka was having doubts about it as she watched Rei walk off.
His name is Wufei. This is his picture.
I want to go to him now.
Are you sure?
Yes A-SAP
Ok, Rei let me give you something
Setsuna put her hands on the side of Rei's head. Both of her hands start to glow. And Rei slowly began to remember her brother and what she did to save him.
Whoa! You gave me my memory back
Yes
Is he going to have his?
Sorry No, He will have to remember on his own
Then I'll do anything for him to remember, now that I do. I guess we were tight huh.
Extremely tight There's nothing you two wouldn't do for each other.
Setsuna there is still something missing from my memory
I know.
Why?
It's too dangerous to remember know one can know, not even The Princess. Sometimes I wish I didn't know. Remembering it can bring Chaos and Destruction to any world and to the Universe. So please Don't tell anyone if Haruka gets suspicions, she want stop until the truth is out.
Setsuna one more question.
Yes
Did you give me a dream?
No Why
Rei told Setsuna all about the dream she had and how it pledged her mind.
It could be one of your visions.
Maybe, I not sure if that's what it is. Anyway Setsuna, I'm going home to get a few things. When
I get back. I'll be ready to leave.
I'll be waiting.
Sorry if you're offended by what I have done here. But it's something that just had to be done. I give permission to flame if you like, if it you makes you feel better go ahead. But don't be too harsh!!!
