Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or the characters but the story belongs to me, steal and you'll be asking to my swarm of angry muses.

Note: This is my first non-crossover ficcy written for my Imouto, Usa-chan. I wrote is specifically for her new site and plan to write many more (there are a few Bishies in SM ~.^). Anyway, I don't really know where it's going right now. If I plan out TOO much stuff, I get bored with it. Side, if I just write it as I go, there are a lot of plot twists to keep YOU interested ~.^ Well, my email is pokahydee@hotmail.com but I'm going to be getting a new email soon (pokahydee@mysticallegends.net) (since hotmail annoys me so much). Anyway, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Chapter 1 - Detention Again!?!?

"Come on Shingo!" Usagi shrieked as she grabbed her brother's hand and began to drag him down one of the hallways that were lined with doors on either side.

"Where does the little girl think she's going?" The monster's voice called after them. Usagi could feel the floor vibrate as the monster began to chase them. "Don't you want to play?"

"In here!" Usagi cried as she shoved her startled brother into an open door. She pulled the door shut behind him and kept running down the hallway, the monster right on her heels. Just a little bit further… She thought to herself as she ran. Her legs began to burn and felt like they were on fire. The same was true with her lungs. Man… I really need to start working out. She silently cursed herself as she finally made it to their room. She flung the door open and shot into the room, slamming the door behind her and putting the bolt lock in place.

"You can't hide in there forever!" The monster cried outside of the door. Usagi saw the door begin to shake as the monster slammed up against it.

"It's not going to hold long…" She mumbled quietly to herself. She raced to her room and searched through the dresser drawer for her brooch. "Where are you?!" She demanded as she threw various articles of clothing out of her dresser drawers.

"I'm coming in!" The monster's voice called from outside of the bedroom door. Usagi gasped audibly as she finally found the brooch.

"Moon-" She was cut off as the door flew in at her and slammed her against the wall. Usagi felt the air leave her lungs in one loud 'whoosh' and slowly slumped to the floor. Usagi's body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. She couldn't seem to get her body to cooperate with her brain so she remained motionless as the monster advanced. She tried to croak out her henshin phrase but her vocal cords didn't seem to be working properly.

"Enough…" A quiet voice said from behind the monster. "She is not Sailor Moon…" Usagi's vision was blurry and she couldn't see the man's face straight. All she could see was the white outfit and cape he wore.

He's not Rubius… Usagi thought to herself as she blinked at the person.

"Nani?! Dimando-sama! What are you doing here?!? This is my operation!" Usagi recognized the second voice right away as Rubius. She squinted at the other figure in the doorway and was able to see the fire-red hair of Rubius.

"D… Dimando?" She questioned as she managed to stand. The one called Dimando approached her and Usagi felt his arms around her waist. She blinked a few more times and was finally able to bring his face into focus for a brief moment before she fell unconscious in his arms.

"Dimando-sama, this girl has to be Sailor Moon. Look at this!" Rubius knelt by the wall and pieces of the door that lay shattered from her impact into the wall. He reached out a hand and picked up a small brooch with a star on the front. Dimando studied the brooch slightly for a moment and then pocketed it. He put his arms under the girl and lifted her up, carrying her gently over to the bed in the room.

"You are not to harm this girl. If she is Sailor Moon, we shall know soon enough." Dimando said calmly as he brushed a strand of hair from Usagi's face. "I'll just hang onto this for safe keeping." He pulled the brooch out of his pocket and studied it carefully. He flipped it open to see a shining crystal and smiled triumphantly. "The Senshi will not be a problem without their leader. I will keep watch over her."

"But-" Rubius started but was silenced by a sharp glare from Dimando.

"Are you questioning me, Rubius?" Dimando asked in a calm voice. Rubius scowled and shook his head 'no'. "Good. Now steal the energy of the people aboard this ship. If you come across the rest of the Senshi, kill them."

"Hai Dimando-sama." Rubius said as he bowed slightly. Dimando replaced the brooch in his pocket and disappeared through a portal. Rubius glanced over at the sleeping girl and scowled deeply. What was Dimando thinking? Sailor Moon was right here; it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her… He had a soft spot for her. I'll just have to take care of that, then. He mused slightly. He scowled over at the monster accompanying him and snapped at her. "You heard Dimando! Go steal their energy!"

Usagi had a headache. It had been three days since she had been attacked on the cruise and her head still hurt. To make matters worse, her brooch was gone and the Senshi were helpless against the constant attacks. Usagi didn't know what she could do in this situation… Mamoru hadn't been able to help her either. He seemed to be avoiding her for weeks now.

"How could things have gotten so bad so fast?" Usagi asked herself, as she lay curled up in a ball on her bed. Tears were making their way down her cheeks as the stress of being Sailor Moon started to catch up with her. Rei had managed to get away from the monster on the ship with a sprained ankle and a huge gash across her cheek. The rest of the Senshi were a little more lucky and only had bumps and bruises. Usagi just felt so helpless… There was nothing she could do to protect her Senshi and friends… There was nothing she could do to get Mamoru back.

Luna stood in the doorway and watched Usagi cry silently. Her brow furrowed in worry but she didn't approach the girl. It was best if she left her alone so she could cry herself out. Maybe then she would get some sleep. She had been worrying over Usagi for these past three days. Usagi had been awake nearly all night since the Black Moon took her brooch. Luna had been very understanding though, it wasn't Usagi's fault. The Black Moon was starting to get bold, they'd chased her all the way back to her room on the cruise ship. Luna just hoped it had been a hunch that Usagi had been Sailor Moon. It would be very bad if they found out who the rest of the Senshi were. It was going to be hard enough to protect Usagi now.

****

Usagi walked through the hallways, her head down and a slight frown spread across her lips. She hugged her books to her chest and didn't seem to notice when she pushed through a group of boys. They all gave her weird stares but didn't say anything and just resumed their conversation.

"Who was that girl? She was kind of cute…"

Usagi didn't even hear the conversation from the boys as she kept moving through the hallway. She was too deep in her thoughts and worries. What was she going to do? It was obvious the Black Moon knew who she was… Why hadn't they attacked her? The thing she was really worried about though, is that they would come after her family… That was the first thing that had come to her mind when she had discovered her brooch was missing.

"Ohayo Usagi-chan!" Naru's voice broke into Usagi's thoughts. Usagi picked her head up and smiled at Naru as she approached. "Why so down, Usagi?" She questioned when she didn't see the normally overly happy and bouncy Usagi she was used to.

"Huh? Oh, no reason. I just have a headache." She stated simply, but Naru's worried eyes didn't change.

"You're not a very good liar Usagi." Naru said as she frowned at her friend. Usagi was never upset or depressed so it had to be something really big. Naru just wasn't sure what it could be. She knew Usagi wouldn't tell her either; they weren't as open as they had been when they were kids. "You know you can talk to me." Usagi smiled and hugged Naru.

"Arigato for the offer Naru-chan. But really, it's just a headache." Usagi said reassuringly as she forced a smile onto her face. Naru nodded but didn't really believe her so she decided that she'd just keep a close eye on Usagi until she started acting like her normal self. She though it probably had to do with that guy Usagi was dating anyway.

Usagi followed Naru into the classroom and sat in her normal seat, looking down at her desktop. There were a few nicks here and there in its surface from the previous people that had sat there. She studied its surface, completely unaware of the strange looks she was getting from some of the people in the room. Usagi sighed heavily and flopped over the top of the desk.

"Usagi is early?" A voice whispered to Usagi's left.

"Wow, that's a first. I think she's sick, look at her." Another voice answered the first.

"Quiet down class. Due to a sudden illness, you will have a substitute teacher for the day." A voice sounded through the room. Usagi looked up toward the front of the room as the principal made the announcement. She gasped when she saw a man with shoulder length whitish-blond hair standing at the front of the room with a white shirt, white pants, and a tie. Is that the man from the ship? She asked herself as she remembered the captain that had rubbed sun block on her. He's a captain AND a teacher?

"Hello class, my name is Sensei Daitetsu. Haruna-sensei came down with a sudden illness and may not return for a few days." He explained as he stood in front of the class. Usagi could feel her cheeks flaming pink as she stared at the man. She looked away when she remembered the way Rei had reacted.

"What are you doing odango atama?!?! Usagi no baka!! You have a boy friend! What are you doing?! How could you do this to Mamoru?"

She looked at her desktop and tried to fight down her raging blush. Why was she blushing so much just from looking at a teacher? It was weird…

Usagi glanced around the room at the other girls in her class and saw the pink cheeks and glassy eyes. Every girl in the class was nearly drooling on their desks. Usagi frowned slightly, feeling the smallest inkling of jealousy rising up. Usagi had seen him first, after all. Even if she did have a boyfriend… Mamoru… She loved Mamoru but they were drifting. Mamoru seemed to be avoiding her for the past few weeks and Usagi was getting depressed. Her friends kept getting hurt and she couldn't seek comfort in the arms of the man she loved. It just wasn't fair… Usagi felt like her whole world was falling apart.

Usagi was vaguely aware of the lecture Daitetsu-sensei was giving. She was drifting back into her thoughts and worries. She was only halfway aware that the class was over and it was time for lunch. Everyone had already left the class as Usagi slowly gathered her things. Normally Usagi was the first one out. After all, lunch was her favorite class.

"Wait a moment Tsukino-san." Daitetsu said as he put his hand on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi's face turned bright red as she looked up to meet his ice blue eyes.

"H… hai?" She questioned as she tried to force down the raging blush.

"I'm aware that you have detention tonight," He stated with a smile. "Just because Haruna-sensei isn't here doesn't mean you can get out of it."

Usagi's shoulders slumped and a rather large sweatdrop appeared on her forehead. She hadn't expected that at all. Detention? What did I do to get detention this time? Usagi asked herself pitifully. Daitetsu began to walk down the hallway toward the teacher's lounge to take his lunch, leaving Usagi standing by herself outside of the classroom. Usagi heard girls around her laughing. She turned around and stuck her tongue out at them.

"That means I'll get to spend time alone with him." Usagi said mockingly as she hurried to her locker. The other girls stared after her with dumb-stricken looks.

"Did she just get the last word?" One girl asked the brunette next to her. The brunette just nodded her head and hurried to lunch.

****

The rest of the day passed by at a crawl. Usagi always had problems paying attention in class but it seemed to be growing worse that particular day. No one seemed to notice because Usagi was always staring off into space. She heard the final bell ring and her head shot up from her desk. Oh man… She thought to herself as she realized the day was over and she'd be alone with the substitute teacher.

"Look who has to stay for detention again." A girl mumbled with a smirk on her face. Usagi frowned at her and puffed out her cheeks.

"So what! At least I don't talk about people behind their backs!" She growled in slight anger. The girl just smirked and waved Usagi's comment off as a fly buzzing on her shoulder.

Daitetsu smiled to himself as the rest of the students left and they were left alone. He waited until the hallways were quiet before he said anything to Usagi. He looked down at her from his height and studied her every move. She had her hair styled the same way as Sailor Moon. Even her school uniform looked like the skimpy outfit Sailor Moon wore except is was more tasteful. The leader of the Senshi hadn't been fighting for the past three days. She seemed to just disappear. There was no doubt about it anymore. This girl was Sailor Moon.

"So Tsukino-san, how are you doing this afternoon?" He asked as he sat on the corner of her desk. Usagi cheeks turned bright red and she looked up at him.

"Um… it's been all right." Usagi said, not able to meet his gaze.

"I see you haven't been doing your homework." He said looking through the grade book. "You do realize, you're on the verge of not passing don't you?"

"Eh? Not passing?" She questioned. "I don't think I'm doing that bad." He shook his head slightly.

"That's not what it says in here." He said as he flipped a page of the grade book. There was another sweatdrop on Usagi's forehead as he flipped through the book some more. Why can't he act like he did on the boat? Usagi questioned herself. She sat back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You're just a substitute." Usagi commented quietly and looked away. She didn't notice the smirk that was on his face. Of course he'd been messing with her. Her grades were bad, but they weren't quite in the failing margin yet.

He took her chin in his hand and tilted her face up to look at him. Without warning, he pulled her face to his and kissed her. Usagi's whole body went rigid, then slack in the fraction of a second. She felt his tongue slip into her mouth and this surprised her, so she shoved him away from her. She lost her balance and her chair went tumbling backward. She landed hard on the floor behind her and scrambled to pull her skirt down. Her cheeks were flaming red as she tried to fight the raging blush. He… he kissed me? Usagi thought to herself as she touched her lips slightly.

"You're not much of a kisser, are you?" He questioned, curiously.

"Hey! You had no right to do that! You're a teacher for crying out loud!" Usagi shrieked from her spot on the floor. "For your information, I HAVE a boy friend!" She ranted as she shook her fist at him. He grabbed her wrist and smirked down at her.

"Do you think that matters to me?" He questioned eerily. "You will be mine, whether you like it or not." Usagi glared daggers at Daitetsu. What right did he have to speak to her in such a way?

"To think, I found you attractive at one time." Usagi spat as she pulled her hand away from him and stood up, brushing her skirt off. She picked up her books and headed for the door of the classroom.

"Detention isn't over yet." Daitetsu said calmly as he stepped in front of Usagi and blocked her escape. Usagi's glare deepened as he refused to let her leave. Who does this guy think he is? Usagi asked herself as she glared at the man. She stared intently into his ice blue eyes while she searched for any sign that he had been teasing her. To her surprise, she saw a black crescent moon on his forehead.

"N… nani?" She questioned as she stumbled backward and tripped over a chair. She landed in a sitting position on the floor in front of Daitetsu. "The Black Moon?"

"So, you've figure it out ne?" He questioned with a smirk as he sat on the desk in front of her. "Sailor Moon." He commented as he held her brooch out for her to see. Usagi reached her hand up to take the brooch, but he pulled it back and shoved it into his pocket. She pulled her hand back and looked up at him, fear beginning to build inside of her.

"What do you want?" Usagi questioned tentatively. His smirk grew as he sensed her fear and suspicion.

"What do I want? I've already told you what I want. If I don't get it, Tsukino Usagi, I know where you sleep." He said with a smirk. Usagi's eyes widened in shock horror. Would he result to kidnap? Would he harm her family?

"I… I understand…" Usagi said quietly as she looked away from him. She stood up her eyes fixed on the ground as she approached him. She felt around for her brooch on instinct as she approached the fake teacher. His smirk only grew as she approached him willingly.

"Usagi-chan! Where are you? It's important!" An insistent voice echoed into the room from down the hallway. "It's an emergency! Your mom is in the hospital!"

"N… nande? Mama…" Her voice trailed off as she took a few steps toward the voice. It only took a moment for her to take off at full speed toward the other door in the back of the classroom. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she reached the door and sprinted down the hallway. She rounded the corner and saw Naru standing in the middle of the hallway searching for someone. "Naru-chan? What's wrong with mom?! Where is she?!" Usagi demanded as she reached her friend.

"She was in an accident. Someone hit her with their car!" Naru cried as she took Usagi's hand and pulled her down the hallway toward the exit.

"Iie!" She cried as she pulled away from Naru and ran faster. Naru yelled back up to her the room number and the hospital name.

****

Daitetsu narrowed his eyes as he began to transform. His clothes changed and the black crescent moon appeared on his forehead. Dimando stood in place of Daitetsu-sensei and he was quite pissed off. He'd almost had her. She had been giving herself up willingly.

"Don't worry, Usagi-chan, I'll be coming for you very soon." Dimando mused to himself as he disappeared from the classroom.

****

Usagi had been at the hospital for hours now waiting for her mother to wake up. Her father and Shingo were asleep in the waiting room, but Usagi remained at her mother's side. Her mother had a broken arm, a broken leg, several broken ribs, and she was in a coma from a head trauma.

"O-negai mama, wake up." Usagi said quietly. Her eyes were red-rimmed and bloodshot from a combination of crying, worrying, and fatigue. It was 3:00 AM and Usagi had been away about 21 hours that day. She was exhausted, but she refused to leave her mother's side, especially because she was finally allowed in to see her. Ikuko had been in surgery for several hours and her condition was finally starting to stabilize so Usagi was allowed in to sit at her mother's side. Most of the nurses had left and there were only a few in and out every couple of hours to check Ikuko's vital signs. So for the most part, Usagi was alone.

"Why is one so beautiful, so sad?" A familiar voice asked close to Usagi's ear. Usagi's body went rigid and a chill ran through her body. She could feel his warm breath on her face and his scent surrounded her.

"Why… are you tormenting me…?" Usagi asked as she felt tears filling her eyes. "What do you want?!" She demanded as she spun around to see Daitetsu… no, someone from the Black Moon. She gasped slightly when she saw his true form. "Who are you?!" He chuckled lightly and smirked.

"My name is Prince Dimando-sama. You belong to me now," He said as he grabbed her arm tightly. Usagi winced as his fingers bit into her arm painfully. "Come with me now, or I'll end her life." He said as he reached his hand toward the life support machines. Usagi's eyes widened in horror at this new proposal and she hung her head in acceptance.

"Hai… Dimando… sama…" She said slowly as she stood up. He grabbed her chin with his hand while the other was wrapped around her. He smirked slightly then pulled her face to his, kissing her deeply. A single tear slipped down Usagi's cheek and she faded into darkness…
