::When there are words in these things that means ppl are thinking::
*This puts extra emphasis on certain word(s)*
"Means someone is talking, but you knew that, right?^_^"
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~The thing to the left means a scene change.
"Oh no!" Usagi gasped as she looked at her watch. It was past eleven. "Were we really here talking that long?"
"I guess so." Aikan shrugged. "Where do you need to go?"
"Home! Mom and dad are going to kill me!" Usagi winced almost immediately as her father's face fell.
"I'm so sorry!"
"It's all right. I understand that you have a life here. One question, does he treat you well?"
"Hai," She smiled. "He is just a little strict when it comes to dating and guys."
Aikan puffed out his chest. "Good. I would be too."
"Dad..." Usagi hung her head. "Are all fathers this strict?"
"Iie, only the good ones." His eyes sparkled. "And I'm determined to be the best one."
She giggled and bid him goodbye. "Do you need a place to stay?"
"I'll be fine tonight. Now, hurry, you don't want to get in trouble."
"Ja ne!" She called running away.
Aikan watched Usagi run home until she was out of sight. "My daughter," He breathed, unable to believe he was finally with his child. "I have a daughter with so much innocence and beauty. I must be the luckiest father around!"
He began walking the trail that his daughter had taken home. "I just hope her other father realizes how special she is also."
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Usagi!" Usagi stopped dead in her tracks.
"Yes mother?" She replied politely averting her eyes.
"Where have you been?" Ikuko held a book dangerously in her hand.
"Out. I'll tell you tomorrow." She ran up the stairs.
"Usagi, you are such a hand full!" Ikuko smiled slightly. "But you are certainly worth it."
----------
"Is she home yet?"
"She just got in ten minutes ago."
"That girl," Kenji murmured. "Never on time but still the savior of this planet. Amazing." The pride he felt shined in his eyes.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Ohayo minna!" Usagi greeted her friends cheerfully. She stood in the temple with her father by her side. She hadn't told them about him yet.
"Usagi-chan, who is that with you?" Ami asked.
Minako raised an eyebrow. "A little old for a boyfriend." Usagi gagged while her father blushed furiuosly.
"Minako-baka! Don't say that! What if she really likes him?!" Makoto hit Minako on the head while Ami sighed.
"Minna...he isn't my boyfriend."
Rei entered the room. "Good, you already have Mamoru-chan." She glanced at the man and did a double take. "You! Usagi-chan! Get away from him!" Rei ran over and grabbed Usagi's arm and dragged her away from him.
Standing in front of Usagi, Rei looked at the man with hate. "What are you doing in my temple? Get out!"
"Rei-chan! Stop-"
Aikan motioned for his daughter to be quiet and then spoke. "I am not here to harm you. Usagi wanted me to meet you. I take it you are Rei? I have heard a lot about you." He held out his hand and smiled warmly.
"Rei-chan, it's all right, he's not going to hurt us. I promise."
Rei stared hard at her friend before reluctantly shaking his hand. "Gomen. How do you know Usagi-chan?"
"She is my daughter." The room fell quiet before it erupted.
"What!?" Rei looked frantically from Usagi to Aikan. A flabbergasted Minako and Makoto stared transfixed at him.
A startled Ami looked up from her book. "But, how?" She asked, trying to logically approach the question. "You look nothing like her, and I have met Tsukino-san."
"I am her father from the Silver Millenium."
Even more startled, Ami stood up and walked toward him. "How can you still be alive?"
"How can you still be alive?" He asked back.
Quietly, Ami nodded. "I see, did you travel through time? Did you see Sailor Pluto?"
"I know little of Sailor Pluto. My way of coming to this time," He paused. "I do not believe it is time to say."
"Why not?" Minako asked.
His eyes looked distant. "I just do not think it is time. Gomen. You will know, sometime."
Rei, who had remained quiet butted into the conversation. "Okay, so you aren't telling us something. Fine. Be that way. But, I still have more questions for you." Aikan looked at Rei, a little surprised but nodded. ::How can she have such a temper? I should have known, the Maritans are known for their fiery tempers::
"Why are you here?"
"To see my daughter."
"Why did you wait so damn long?"
His eyes became distant again but quickly returned to normal. "I couldn't come here until now. I came as soon as I could."
"How do you feel?"
"About what?"
"About meddling in your daughter's life."
Once again, surprised he looked at the Martian. "I'm still not sure what you mean."
She glared at him. "You know *exactly* what I mean!"
"REI-CHAN!"
Rei looked at Usagi, her face softening. "What?"
"Stop giving him the third degree!"
"But he's-"
"Rei-chan, she's right." Makoto said. "He should be treated as a guest, not an enemy."
Aikan looked at the girls, thankful for interrupting. ::She is a quick one, I'll have to be careful:: "Usagi, I have to go. Are you going to stay here?"
The young blonde directed her attention to the tall man. "Where do you have to go?"
"I just need to run some errands if I'm going to be staying here for a while."
"Oh, do you want me to go with you? I could show you around."
He shook his head. "You should probably clear things up with your friend." He glanced at Rei.
"Hai, that would be good." She glowered at and Rei making Rei feel guilty.
"Ja ne."
"Bye," She smiled. "Dad."
Aikan left leaving a tempermental Rei and a pissed Usagi.
"Rei-baka! Thanks a lot! You made it so I couldn't spend time with him!"
Rei looked at the ground. "Gomen, Usagi-chan, but I think there is still a lot we don't know about him."
"I know some...I know his past."
Rei brightened, "Could you tell us?" She wanted to learn more about the man.
"Hai, you see it started when..." Usagi began the story with her friends crowded around her.
---------
"Rei, you are very sharp. Teach Usagi that." Aikan said softly before placing a piece of a paper on Rei's nightstand. "Teach her." He disappeared.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Mom! Dad! I need to go. An enemy is attacking." Usagi stood in the living room.
Her mother looked at her worriedly. "Will you be alirght? Do you need us to come with you?"
"No, remember I've been Sailor Moon for years?" Usagi grinned trying to improve her parent's pessimistic attitude.
"Are you sure?" Wrinkles creased her mother's brow.
"Positive. Bye." She turned around and began walking quickly.
"Usagi." A stern voice stopped her.
She stopped and turned around.
"Be careful." Kenji nodded to her with acceptance.
Smiling Usagi nodded back before running out the door.
---------
She transformed on the side of her house and took off running to the park.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
"Minako-chan!" Gasping, Sailor Moon ran toward her falling friend. "Minako-chan!" She caught her friend just before she fell to the ground. "Are you alright?" She nodded weakly.
"Mercury!" Sailor Mercury turned and saw the two. She quickly ran over. "I'll take it from here. Sailor Moon, the others need you. Hurry!"
Standing up, the young senshi ran toward the battle. "Minna! What's going on?"
Dodging an attack, Sailor Jupiter answered her question. "This monster just appeared and was threatening civilians."
::That's all of the reason why we are here? Definitely in a nutshell. A damn small one:: Moon thought as her friends fruitlessly attacked.
The monster was a red-skinned man with wings like a bat and several extra arms. Looking at the creature Moon couldn't help but think how ugly it was.
Drawing her tiara off her head, she looked at the monster. ::Strange, this monster...it doesn't seem completely evil. Its ki, why does it feel so different? It feels powerful, yet...sad. I don't get it!:: Sailor Moon shouted in her head. Then, taking careful aim, she threw her tiara at the enemy. The monster simply looked at her and threw an energy ball back at her.
Screaming, she went flying through the air. Landing hard on the ground, she glowered at the monster. She stood up slowly, Wincing in pain. Sailor Mars hurried to her side and helped her up.
"Sailor Moon, I have to talk to you."
"Now? Can't it wait?"
"No. I have this note. Read it." Shoving the note into Sailor Moon's hands, she took off and attacked the monster.
The note:
Rei,
You are strong. I know you are. You are incredibly sharp.
Please, teach that to Usagi. She has an ability in her that
will help you in your battle. She can see the good in
people and help them bring it out. But her ability is much
more than that. Help her bring out that ability and the
other one will follow. Trust me. The Sailor Senshi will
need both abilities in their upcoming battle. If you have
neither, all will perish. Now go to the park, your first is
waiting.
P.S. I had no choice.
Usagi looked at Rei. Who would give her such a note? How would someone know so much about her? About her friends? Usagi's head swam with questions.
A high-pitched scream was heard and then a loud thump. ::Rei-chan!:: Usagi's eyes swept over the battle field. Sailor Jupiter was still standing, but barely. Mars and Venus were down. Mercury was exhausted, but still managed to stand. She almost cried, she was the only one standing strong. She had to take down the monster by herself.
Scared, she began to cower. As Sailor Moon felt her knees ready to buckle, Tuxedo Kamen appeared. He stood beside his partner.
"Sailor Moon, be strong. I know you are scared, but your friends are depending on you. Stay strong and feel the power within you."
Suddenly, Sailor Moon felt light. Like a feather in its purest form. Her chest felt pure and needy. She knew what she had to do.
Raising her tier high above her head, a light surrounded it.
"Tier of the heavens. Your power is high. Pure. Let it come into this world. This world that needs to be protected. I summon you! Holy tier! Protect this planet!" Swinging into various poses, she soon came to her final one. Standing to her side with her tier held out in front of her, she swung it to the front.
"Twilight Stars Behold Thy Grace!"
A roaring white light escaped from the tier and hit the monster. Falling to the ground exhausted, Sailor Moon looked up. A small cry escaped her throat, the monster was still alive, but scarcely holding on. Knowing it was defeated--at least for the time being-- it disappeared with a gust of wind.
Knowing she had done her job, Sailor Moon fainted.
