Chapter 2 – Getting to Know You
The sun rose bright and early on Merqueas. There was a lazy breeze in the air and it was deliciously warm. But when you're in a house at the end of a tunnel behind a waterfall that flows over a cliff you don't know any of this, do you? All the same, Trunks, Usagi, Sakura, Yugi, Hikari and Link knew the day would be wonderful.
Upon inspection they found the house contained more than just nice furniture and rooms with their names on brass nameplates. Nope, there were 3 showers that had water ranging from scalding hot to Arctic cold. Which was great, if you liked either temperature or anything in between. There was also a Grade-A kitchen with foods of any imaginable kind, which too was great, since none of them were superb cooks. There was also a library, a TV room (which was a first for Link) and things I do not have the time to explain.
The first person to wake up was Sakura (which was a first for her). She sat out on the cliff, by the waterfall, which was a quiet waterfall and she could hear herself think. The sun was rising in its entire splendor. She sighed deeply.
"Sakura?"
It was Yugi. He stood beside her, a look of concern on his face. "Hello, Yugi. What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. Nothing's wrong with me," he said quickly, shaking his hands, "I was thinking that something was wrong with you."
"With me?"
He nodded. "You looked far off all morning. You didn't speak with anyone. I don't know if I'm right or not but you don't look like the type of person who's shy, so that's not it, is it."
She laughed. "Your right Yugi, I guess I have been a little weird this morning. It's just…" she paused.
"Just what? Are you afraid of what we have to do?"
"No but…I'm afraid of my dream."
"Your dream?"
"Yes. In my dream I saw all of us dying. You had the same dream, didn't you." Yugi nodded. "I know that it might…come true, and…I don't want any of us to die. If we did then…"
"Then our friends and families would stay dead and we wouldn't be able to help them!"
Sakura nodded glumly. "You got it. Everything in the dream: the light surrounding the earth and the six of us lying on the grass, was explained by Clow Reed and the others. Everything except the monster and the dying. What if they didn't tell us the meaning of that because they were afraid to tell us that we would die?"
Yugi shook his head, "I don't think so Sakura. If we were going to die, wouldn't they have told us? Remember this 'Great Power' knows everything in the past, present and future. What would be the point of us being saved if we would just die later? Besides, we don't know if that is the truth – "
"But my dreams always come true!" insisted Sakura.
"But we still don't know," he reminded her, "They could be playing with our minds or something. This could be a test."
"And if it isn't?"
He shrugged. "Every little action changes our destiny, doesn't it? Who knows? Maybe that dream will only come true if we take a certain action. And they wouldn't have picked us for this job if they didn't think we could handle it, right?"
Sakura opened her mouth to argue, but she didn't have anything to argue with. "I guess you could be right!"
"Maybe," agreed Yugi, "I sure hope so."
Sakura smiled. "I hope so too. Thanks Yugi."
"Any time." He turned to go.
"Yugi, wait."
"Yeah, what?"
"Would you…like to stay and watch the rest of the sunrise with me? There's no reason to go back just yet, is there?"
"There isn't and sure." Yugi sat down beside Sakura and the two of them watched the rest of the sunrise in peace.
_______________________________________________________
It was around noon when Link announced he wanted to go for a walk. 'To get a good look at this place' he said. I think everyone (especially Hikari) was surprised when Hikari herself asked to accompany him. Link was greatly surprised but he agreed and soon they were off.
They found that Glasswater was at the bottom of a valley and there were many rivers and streams leading from it. They picked the biggest and began following it westward (although they weren't aware of it). It led to the canopy of a great forest of birch trees. They went inside the forest, still following the river.
They didn't say anything for a very long time. Except that sometimes Link would begin to walk briskly ahead of her and Hikari would have to struggle to keep up. Link, noticing this, would apologize, Hikari would say "That's okay," and they would continue in silence.
Finally Hikari decided to break the silence. "Link, you're home is a lot different from ours, isn't it?" Link looked at her, surprise on his face. She smiled up at him.
Then he nodded wistfully. "Yes it is. Very different. I miss it greatly."
"Is it very beautiful?" asked Hikari.
"Yes," said Link, glad to talk. He then talked at great length about the beauty of Lake Hylia, the mystery of the Kokiri Forest, the magnificence of Death Mountain, and all his favorite places. Hikari was a good listener; she closed her eyes and drank in deep the words, trying to imagine this pure, beautiful world. The sun rose higher in the sky and still they walked, one listening, one talking. They were blissfully unaware of anything but Hyrule, real and imagined.
The ground they walked on sloped upwards and the river stopped. The trees became thicker, more numerous and the sun beat down hard upon their backs. Link's tales turned to his friends and he spoke enthusiastically of Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Impa, Nabooru, Malon and most important of all, Zelda. His voice, despite his now obvious yearning for someone to talk to, was sad and he would often pause and look back nostalgically on past events. Hikari offered no sympathy, she knew he didn't need it.
Link's voice broke off and Hikari, desperate to keep the conversation going, spoke of her friends, family and home. Link was amazed, but hid it well. He fired question after question and laughed loudly, throwing back his head. Smiles were put on their faces and the last mile of their walk was done with a spring in their step.
Finally the ground leveled off and they emerged from the vast canopy of trees. They stood on a high cliff, which overlooked a sandy beach. The smiles turned into grins as a thought struck them; This is the perfect place for a picnic. They made mental notes to bring Trunks, Usagi, Sakura, and Yugi here.
"Link," said Hikari suddenly, "you became Darunia's sworn brother, didn't you?" Link nodded, and he looked a little confused. "Well, I was thinking that…maybe…perhaps…you and I could…be…brother and sister."
Link's face was pure shock. Hikari, my…sister? That's something I would never…have thought…no…dreamed of! But still…if I was to have a younger sister…I wish she would be half as kind. Maybe…yes…I will!
Link nodded, "Yes Hikari. I will be your sworn brother." And they gave each other a hug and headed back to the cave, hand in hand.
_______________________________________________________
All was quiet in the cave. Yugi and Sakura, who had become fast friends, had gone somewhere. Yugi was planning on teaching Sakura how to play Duel Monsters. Link and Hikari were on a walk. That left Usagi and Trunks in the cave…alone.
That was okay for Trunks. He was perfectly content to kick back and catch some Z's. Usagi, however, was completely bored. She sat on one of the leather couches in the TV room, staring enviously at Trunks. She would like nothing more than to slip into dreamland, but was having problems doing so. But while she was staring at him, she noticed something that had, for some unknown reason, escaped her eye the night before.
HE WAS HOT!
It made her blush to think about it. Usagi, she reminded herself, remember Mamoru, you're supposed to be in love with Mamoru. But Mamo-chan no longer brought a tingling thrill whenever she thought of him. It was like she'd just fallen out of love with him.
Frantically she reminded herself, You get married in the future, you were in love in the past, he is your love, and he is your everything! You have a child - Chibi-Usa-chan! Don't you care what happens to her? But it was official; she had fallen out of love with Mamoru.
She considered banging her head against the wall. It was a good idea, so she moved toward it. But then she noticed something.
Trunks was tossing and turning on the couch. Beads of sweat dripped off his face and he was shivering. He was muttering too. As silently as she could, Usagi walked toward him, her eyes wide with something she considered to be fear. What was happening to him?
He tossed again. Usagi caught a few words. "Must stop…father…androids…mother…must stop them…must stop androids…must…must…must…save…Gohan…Gohan…GOHAN!" At this last word he shot up. But poor Usagi found herself staring into those blue eyes. It was a peril neither she nor Trunks was ready for. A blush grew on both their faces. They tried to move apart, pretend that it never happened. But they couldn't. There must've been something magnetic about blue eyes. They moved closer…and closer and closer...
…And their lips brushed together. Unbeknownst to Usagi, this was Trunks' first kiss. But this certainly didn't show. One of them deepened the kiss; they never were sure whom. Usagi, slowly, her hands trembling, reached up and brushed a strand of hair out of his face. Then, Trunks reached out his arms and moved to wrap them around her waist.
But then they stopped. Usagi jerked away from him. Trunks looked surprised, then shocked and confused at what had occurred. Usagi jumped up from the couch. "I shouldn't have. What have I done? How could I have?"
Trunks looked ashamed. "Usagi, I…" He never finished his sentence. Usagi looked at him with a look of astonishment and shame. Then she ran out of the room, slamming the door hard behind her.
How long he stood there, Trunks didn't know. He was half-shocked, half-sad, half hurt. How his feelings had 3 half, he had no clue in hell. To tell the truth, he was scared. She'd just come and… He shook his head, trying to get out of his head the look she'd given him. She wasn't mad, sad or even ashamed with him.
She was mad at herself. She was sad because of herself. She was ashamed with herself.
It showed in that look she'd given him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH" Trunks let out a loud roar of confusion, "How? How could I do this? How could I let this happen? How could I do this to her?"
Those were questions he couldn't answer.
_______________________________________________________
Usagi lay on her bed. Her pillows were soaked with tears. She deafly heard his yell. "Why did I do that?" she mumbled to the pillow, "Why did I do that to him, to Mamo-chan, to Chibi-Usa-chan?" Rolling over, she stared at the ceiling. It was horrible; this whole thing was horrible. She wanted it to be over.
She wanted to go home. She wanted to forget about Trunks and the kiss. She wanted to kill youmas and hang with her senshi. She wanted to go to school and drown out the sounds of the teacher. She wanted to study for her finals. She wanted to go to the arcade. She just wanted to be back.
But after this, nothing would ever be the same.
She'd ruined it.
_______________________________________________________
Soon after Link and Hikari came home. They found Yugi and Sakura in the TV room watching an episode of 'Who's Line Is It Anyway?' and wondering how Merqueas got that show if it was from Chikyuu. Trunks, they were told was outside training and Usagi was nowhere to be found.
In excited voices Link and Hikari told them about the beautiful beach, their plans to have a picnic there and about their oath to be sworn brother and sister. Their plan was a successful hit and preparations were made instantly. Hikari and Yugi were going to start making a picnic basket, Sakura would find Usagi and Link would get Trunks.
Sakura found Usagi in her room, staring at the ceiling. Her face was red from crying and her hair was a mess.
"Usagi? Is something wrong? Are you alright?"
Usagi raised her tear-streaked face and looked at Sakura. "I guess since you've already guessed, I'm not okay."
Sakura walked over to her bed and sat down beside her. "Will you tell be what happened?"
Usagi was silent for a moment. Then she blurted out, "Trunks and I KISSED!" Whatever Sakura was expecting, it wasn't that. She gaped at Usagi for a moment.
"Is that so bad?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I already have a boyfriend."
Sakura nodded. She understood. "And now you feel that you've betrayed him because you kissed Trunks."
Usagi could only nod.
"Well," Sakura continued, "The way I see it, I believe you should talk to Trunks and see if he has feelings for you. You were probably just caught up in the moment and forgot yourself. This…task we have to do, we have to work as a team. It'll do no good if your distracted or aren't talking to each other."
"But it's just…Trunks is so hot!"
"I noticed."
"Same with Link. They're both so hot and yet so…sad. Like they've known nothing but death and destruction."
"Hmm. Well, that could be the case. We don't know them very well. I bet Hikari would know about Link. From what I gather, the two of them had a very interesting conversation on their walk. Come on, we have to get ready for the picnic."
"Picnic?"
"Oh yeah, didn't I tell you? Link and Hikari found a cool beach on their walk and we're going to have a picnic. That's why I came looking for you."
"Well, what're we waiting for?" Usagi started to run out of the room but stopped suddenly stopped, "Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
_______________________________________________________
Link found Trunks outside, practicing sword moves on a tree. With a fierce yell, he swung his sword vertically, slicing the tree in half. Then, with some moves too fast for Link's untrained eyes to see Trunks chopped the wood into small pieces. Impressed, Link clapped. Trunks, not knowing he was there, stiffened. Link walked up to him.
"I'm really impressed," he complimented, "but you're distracted, it showed in the technique."
Trunks sighed and sheathed his sword. "Yeah, I guess I am. It's also kinda annoying. I don't have anyone to spar with. Though, maybe, the two of us could have a swordfight someday."
Link nodded, "I'd like that. Why are you distracted?"
"Because," Trunks paused, like he was unsure if he should tell Link, "when you and Hikari were on your walk and Yugi was teaching Sakura to play some card game, Usagi and I…kissed." Link started; that was not what he'd been expecting.
Trunks continued, "I was napping on the couch and I had a nightmare, see. I woke up suddenly and there she was, inches from my face. I think I panicked, but the next thing I knew, I was kissing her. Then we stopped and she gave me a look that said she was angry and ashamed. Not at me, but at herself. I tried to apologize, but she ran out of the room."
Link nodded and tried to say something, but Trunks rambled on, like he'd wanted to say this for some time, "I just wish I could tell her I'm sorry. It would've been better if she'd been mad at me, it really would. That look she gave me, I can't get it out of my mind."
Link finally managed to get a word in edgewise. "I'm no expert in girls or love or anything, but I think you should apologize to her. It'll do nobody any good if either of you carry on like this. Talk to her. It'll help, I know it will. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who carries a grudge for long though." Trunks nodded.
"Thanks Link."
"It was nothing. There's one thing I'd like in return though."
"What?"
"The chance to fight you."
"That is something you shall have," laughed Trunks.
_______________________________________________________
In a part of the universe known as the 'Middle of Nowhere' because it's really nowhere but it's everywhere, something stirred. A pair of coal-black eyes opened, but they were impossible to see because it was pitch black out. A figure stretched and sighed through black lips. Its feet graced the cold floor and it stood up, lifting a tall staff. She rapped the staff on the floor and light filled the chamber.
The figure was a woman, tall, graceful and beautiful. She had a long train of silky black hair and snow-white skin. Her neck was long like a swan's and she had a small nose. Her dress was red as blood, strapless and sleeveless with two slits running up to her thighs. Her jewelry consisted of two bracelets clamped tightly around her wrists, tight enough to stop the flow of her blood.
She stood in front of a throne, which she had been sleeping on. The throne stood atop a dais, which faced a long room with a red carpet running across. On either side of the carpet knelt legions of sleeping people. The lady clapped her hands and they stood up in perfect unison. Turning to face her they bowed/curtsied, murmuring, "Your majesty."
But she wasn't listening. Instead she stared straight ahead, over their heads and cursed softly under her breath. "How could he do this to me? How in HELL could he do this to me? I created perfection, silent, unspoiled perfection in those worlds. And he allowed those…those whelps to survive and ruin it for me! I will not allow it!" She looked at the crowd awaiting her orders and called, "Marchius!"
A young man exited the crowd, walked toward the dais and bowed. "Arise," spoke the woman haughtily. The young man stood and lifted his face, allowing the woman to get a good look at him. He was too pretty to be a young man, which curly silver hair and cold eyes. He wore leather pants and a white shirt. In his hand was a whip.
"Yes your majesty?"
The lady clapped her hands and motioned for him to turn, he obeyed. The room grew dark, though not as dark as it had been. An image appeared in front of them, the image of a planet, lush and green.
"You see before you the planet Merqueas, Marchius Dragon-tamer. It has until recently been uninhabited, though now it is the temporary residence of 6 young people, warriors and sorcerers and such. Your task is to kill them and bring the bodies here. Should you fail in this task, you shall be cast into an endless life of torture and despair. Do not fail me."
He bowed, "I will not, your majesty."
_______________________________________________________
The six in question, however, had no idea that danger was coming. They walked toward the beach, laden down with food and other party necessities. They were in no real hurry; they took their time, laughing and talking. Yugi was telling Sakura how he'd found some of Kaiba's discs used for playing Duel Monsters and brought them along. Link and Trunks were exchanging sword-fighting tips. Usagi and Hikari talked of nothing; they stared around in silence.
Soon they arrived at the beach and broke out the food. The sun lowered in the sky but they had no intention of going back. The girls lay on the sand, talking about whatever girls talk about. The guys hung out by the food, joking around like boys often do.
When the food was nearly eaten (mainly by Trunks; the others were in a state of shock at how much he ate) Sakura nudged Usagi pointedly and whispered, "You should talk to Trunks now."
Usagi, wide-eyed, whispered back, "Are you sure?" Sakura nodded.
Meanwhile, Link gave Trunks a look that plainly said, "Go for it." Trunks swallowed and was about to walk over to the girls when Sakura skipped up to them and whispered something in Yugi's ear. Yugi nodded and the two of them walked away from the group. Link then walked over and spoke briefly to Hikari. The two of them walked down to the edge of the sea (or ocean, whichever) and sat down, openly not looking in Trunks and Usagi's direction.
The two looked at each other nervously. "Umm, Usagi? I need to talk to you privately," confessed Trunks at the same moment that Usagi blurted out, "Trunks, we have to talk." The two of them walked slowly along the edge of the ocean. The sun was setting on the horizon (A/N – Oooh! Romantic moment! {Takes out popcorn} Hurry up! Back with the story already! {Notices all the people staring at her} What? Oh, I'm the one continuing the Author's Note. {Grins and laughs nervously, anime style} Back to the story! ^_~!)
"Trunks, I – " Usagi started. Unfortunately Trunks said at the same time, "Usagi, I – "
"Go ahead," Trunks urged.
Usagi took a deep breath. "Well, first off I'm really sorry that I kissed you. It was so stupid of me. I should've thought first. And I had no business being that close to you. I just saw you there and you looked so unhappy and you were yelling in your sleep, so I went to see if you were alright, then you woke up and we kissed and it was wrong of me and I'm so, so sorry and this is a really run-on sentence, don't you think?" Trunks looked at her and burst out laughing at her last remark.
"There's another thing. I already have a boyfriend and I love him a lot, a lot a lot. That's why I was so mad and ashamed at myself: I feel like I'm cheating on him while he's dead. Another part of me feels like I'm using you because I miss him so much. I thought that maybe if I fell in love with you, I wouldn't miss him so much. I'm really truly sorry Trunks." Trunks was amazed to see that she was crying. Tears of anger, sadness and frustration rolled down her face. But now it was his turn to speak.
"Usagi, I accept your apology and I hope you accept mine. Like they say, it takes two to tango," Usagi grinned, "and I also kissed you, so it's my fault too. I won't lie to you, I really did like that kiss, probably because it was my first." Usagi stared at him.
"That was…your first kiss?" Trunks nodded and continued.
"I've never been kissed, or kissed anyone before because I've lived most of my life in, well, hell. My world had nearly been destroyed by two androids, horrible androids. It was dangerous to get close to anyone because they could wind up dead. The only people I really were friends with were my teacher, Gohan and my mother. I was scared when I saw you there, and panicked. But I never wanted to hurt you, Usagi, never."
"I understand," Usagi sobbed, "Lets just remain friends, okay?"
"Okay."
There was a groan, coming from the trees. Trunks and Usagi looked there and saw, to their amusement and chagrin, the rest of their 'roomies', listening in on their conversation. Trunks and Usagi glared and Sakura, Yugi, Link and Hikari grinned sheepishly and ran back to the camp as fast as their feet could carry them.
Trunks and Usagi walked a little longer along the beach. But when they were ready to turn back, they heard a scream.
Usagi turned white, but Trunks wasted no time. He grabbed Usagi and blasted off toward the campsite.
_______________________________________________________
Marchius looked at the four figures on the beach below him and raised an eyebrow. These were the 'warriors' that Her Majesty Queen Zehiirana, Mother of Mortals wanted him to disperse of? His lowliest dragon could kill them. And so he would.
He cracked his whip and a dragon appeared in the air below him. It unfurled its wings and turned its bloodthirsty eyes toward the boy he called (or would, if he could speak) master. Marchius gestured at the four persons and hissed one word, "Kill."
The dragon streaked toward the earth, opening its mouth and letting out a horrible roar. One of the girls looked up and screamed.
_______________________________________________________
Trunks landed on the ground and stared in horror and the…the thing which had landed on the ground in front of the others. It was huge! Green scales covered its fleshy, muscular body and its great wings stretched toward the sky. Its claws were as sharp as its teeth, which showed because its jaws were wide open, saliva and fresh blood dripped off its teeth.
But the blood did not belong to one of his friends, thankfully. Trunks must've gotten there very quickly because the shock and first terror of the sight was wearing off. Hikari was the one who screamed; she stood at the back beside Yugi, whose purple eyes were stretched as wide as they could go. Link was standing directly in front of it, his sword unsheathed. Sakura stood close behind him, a staff in her hands.
Usagi had slipped out of his grip when they set eyes on the dragon. The expression on her face was one of mixed fear and determination. Determination won over and she pulled a brooch out of her pocket, held it up and yelled, "MOON CRISIS POWER!" Beside him now stood Super Sailor Moon, wearing a miniskirt, fuku and boots. The shock of THAT soon wore off of Trunks, who flared up into Super Saiya-jin. Grabbing hold of Usagi again he ran over to stand beside Link and Sakura.
"Let's do this," Link declared. Usagi and Trunks nodded and the three of them attacked. Sakura, however, ran back to Hikari and Yugi. "Come on you guys! We need your help!" Yugi nodded and yelled, "YU-GI-OH!" Standing there was Yami, which sort of freaked out Sakura.
"YAMI! What are you doing here! Where's Yugi?"
"Later," Yami told her, grabbing one of Kaiba's discs and running to join the fight.
Sakura grabbed Hikari's arm. "Come on Hikari! They need your help!"
"I can't," mumbled Hikari, "I can't fight without my friends."
"Sure you can."
"No! I can't!"
Meanwhile Marchius was watching the battle with great interest. The strongest fighter was the purple-haired young man. He had a great balance of attacking with strength, speed and ki. The blond young man in green was a superb swordsman. The other young man could summon monsters somehow with that disc and some cards. And the young woman…
Marchius was impressed. For a woman, she had exceptional powers, which was strange because where he came from the only woman that could fight was Her Majesty Queen Zehiirana, Mother of Mortals. But this girl…she had power and beauty in spades.
Then Marchius noticed something. At the back, near the trees, stood two girls. One of them was urging the other to join the fight, but the other was shaking her head. Raising his voice, Marchius called to the dragon, "Attack the ones at the rear!"
Trunks', Link's, Yami's, and Usagi's heads all snapped upwards at Marchius. They hadn't noticed him before. Then the horror of his statement kicked in and they turned to stare at Hikari and Sakura, whose faces were full of fear. But it was too late.
Fire burst from the dragon's mouth and hurtled toward the two horror-stricken girls.
_____________Should I end it here? Nah. _____________
Hikari screamed and turned slightly. Sakura reached in her pocket for a card, but not quickly enough. The fire was going to hit them head on! But then…
…Light came bursting out of Hikari's digivice. It enveloped the fire, destroying it, and hit the dragon, temporarily blinding it.
That gave the others the time they needed. Sakura threw a Sakura Card into the air, yelling, "Wood Card! Release and Dispel!" Branches came hurtling out of the card, and wrapped themselves around the dragon. Usagi grabbed her tiara, which turned into a disc of energy. Trunks began to power up an attack. Yami fit the Dark Magician Card into the disc. Link knocked a Light Arrow to his bow.
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!"
"BURNING ATTACK!"
"GO DARK MAGICIAN! DARK MAGIC ATTACK!"
Link let go of his Light Arrow. The Dark Magician and Trunks fired their attacks. All hit the dragon in his chest. Usagi threw her tiara, which beheaded it.
Marchius groaned aloud when the corpse of the dragon hit the ground and exploded. Now he was going to get it. He prepared to attack them but quailed. Six against one wasn't fair. "Argh! I'll get you next time!" If there was a next time.
He was so going to get it from Her Majesty.
A/N – Well, is that long enough? I hope it was, 'cause that is long. Long, long. You probably get the picture. I would just like to express something: Stupid %^#*@)#)(@$(@)$*)&%(*# Fanfiction.Net! Stupid, stupid, stupid. It just had to shut down, didn't it? I could've gotten this chapter out so much faster but nooooooooooooooooooo, it had to be down, didn't it?
