Past Behind You
Chapter 8
AN--I really don't write Sailor Moon fan fiction anymore. But someone emailed me asking if this was discontinued and I GROANED I hate not finishing a story and it was a reminder that I left this one all alone and discontinued. So, I finished it. In ONE chapter. I write mostly crossovers now, I'm not even a fan of Mamoru and Usagi pairings. I love Senshi/General fictions though, so I felt the need to finish this. It's really not one of my good fic's though, so please don't judge me on this. I haven't written anything on this since I was 15 or 16 and I'm 18 now so my writing style is a lot better than what you'll read in here. Anyway. It is finished. Feel free to flame me for this one because I myself think this fic is full of plot holes and cliches and overall just isn't that great. Also, I got bored and didn't read over anything so if it's totally messed up, forgive me ok?
~*~
Usagi awoke to the loud beeping of her old communicator. She grabbed the pink object and pressed a button to hear what the inner senshi would be saying.
"Hurry minna-san! Youma near my place. It's big and throwing lightening bolts at me!" Minako's voice filled the room. There were a chorus of "Hai" made by the remaining senshi and the line went dead. Usagi roused the others.
"Come on! There's a youma over near Minako's!" Usagi said running for the front door. Everyone watched her intently as she opened the door.
"Uhh, Usa-chan, aren't you forgetting something?" Tranquility asked arching a slim blond eyebrow and motioning toward her bunny slippers and silken pink pajama's.
Usagi turned red and grabbed her transformation pen. "Won't matter I guess." She said with a embarrassed giggle.
Tranquility smiled at her and grabbed her own transformation pen. "Let's go get that youma and get introduced again. Ne Usagi-chan?" Usagi nodded at her sister in a flurry of lights the two senshi, plus the outer senshi and earth generals were transformed into their alter ego's.
"Let's go meet these inner senshi chicks and make that youma bite the dust!" Jadeite busted out in excitement.
Sailor Star looked at him with a look of humor. "You realize you just sounded like a complete dork right?" Jadeite face vaulted but nodded, knowing he sounded line a "dork" as Star had put it.
With that said the ten of them leapt to the rooftops, following Moon, who knew the way. They arrived in record time but kept to the roof of an apartment complex waiting to get a reading on the senshi to see if they were the sure thing.
They didn't have long to wait and the senshi came their way. "Mars is clean." Jadeite commented. "So is Mercury."
"Venus is clean as is Jupiter... Venus is rather pissed though, because the youma deflected her attack right back at her." Kunzite informed with an amused glint in his eye. Venus was perfectly fine, just upset that her attack hadn't hit the intended target.
"Should we go in Hime?" Neptune asked quietly.
"No, we wait for Tuxedo Kamen. We have to check him out as well." Moon responded.
Many tense minuets went by as the senshi were struggling with the youma. It was strong. It seemed to almost absorb their attacks and throw them right back at them. Mars was down, as was Jupiter. Mercury hid in a corner typing feverishly away in her mini computer, trying to get a weak point for Venus to hit. The youma finally spotted Mercury however, who had her back turned. Bad move all around.
"We can save her!" Zoisite looked to Moon, waiting for her to give the command. She looked at Zoisite and nodded. "Only her, try to be fast so no one sees you." Zoisite nodded and he bounded to the ground fast. His earth powers helping him move faster than the moving eye. He grabbed Mercury just as the youma threw a lightening bolt at the spot she had just occupied.
Zoisite let Mercury go at a nearby rooftop but he moved faster than she could see, and he jumped over to the rooftop the other senshi occupied where they were unseen. "Good save Zoi." Kunzite said cuffing his friend on the shoulder. "At least one of them is safe." He added watching as a tired Venus fought on.
"Here he comes." Uranus pointed at the fast moving object coming from the tree tops.
A rose struck the ground and Moon found herself trapped in nostalgia. How many times had he saved her the same way? She shook her head and stopped thinking about the man she loved and watched him throw his attacks at the youma who seemed to not be able to absorb the roses! "It needs non-element attacks, something to pierce through it... she looked to Uranus. "Like a sword." Uranus nodded and readied for her princess's command. "Alright, Star we're going to jump down there. I need to get a clearer reading on Tuxedo Kamen." Star nodded and started toward the railing. "Uranus, you come to, wither or not that's Tuxedo Kamen we need that youma taken out."
"What about the rest of us?" Nephrite asked, ready for action.
"You rescue fallen senshi and then try to cover Uranus's back." Moon ordered.
Star smiled, her sister was becoming a real leader. "Let's go Moon!" She said, her mischievous twinkle in her eye seemed to grow and the two jumped down. They stayed in the shadows at first and watched as the fallen senshi were taken to the same rooftop that Zoisite had taken Mercury to. She stopped watching the scene and then concentrated on Tuxedo Kamen. He was clean. She sighed in relief and whipped a stray tear from her cheek.
"Is he?" Star asked, worried.
"He's clean." She said happily.
Ready to join the fight she started toward the youma. Tuxedo Kamen gave a short gasp seeing Moon come out of the shadows.
"I am Sailor Moon! Who is your master? I command to know!" She addressed the monster.
"I am Mortanic and my master is the Dark Empress! You will soon see the true power of her and you'll all be defeated!" Mortanic said sounding not so sure of herself. It was doubtful that this monster had ever actually came face to face with the "empress". The monster gave a grotesque laugh before she was cut through with Uranus's sword.
Moon turned to Tuxedo Kamen. He looked at her up and down before tears pricked at his eyes, "Usa-Usagi?" He questioned. He looked at the generals and the new senshi. "Who are these people?"
Moon smiled happily, he remembered her! "These are my friends and allies. Do not be frightened by their appearance." She aimed the "not be frightened" part a Venus who stood far away from the generals clutching a hurt arm and nursing a sprained ankle. "These men are your Earth Generals. I believe the ones we fought before were clones of the real generals and the real ones were reincarnated along with everyone else. The senshi are Sailor Neptune, Pluto, Star, Uranus and Saturn." She pointed to each in turn. "They are all friends I have met while you were..." Usagi fought a cry but it overpowered her and she dropped to her knees in heart wrenching sobs. Tuxedo Kamen ran to her side and dropped to his own knees in front of her taking her in his arms.
"I am so sorry. You must have gone though so much." He looked at the new senshi and his earth generals. "But, I am glad you were not alone in this." He said holding his love tightly. "But we're back now, you need not worry. We can defeat this new evil... together." Usagi pulled away and smiled through her tears. "Together?" She asked softly.
"Yes. Together." He answered. She laughed happily and threw her arms around his waist. "I missed you so!"
~*~
An hour later all the senshi and the generals met at the shrine along with Motoki, who had called Justin's cell phone to ask why he wasn't in class at the University. The senshi that had been injured were healed by Saturn and then told of what had happened. They took it rather well. Surprisingly.
"So how did you come back, I thought you were gone forever." Usagi said softly.
"The silver crystal must have responded for your wishes for them to return and reinstated their bodies and minds to the state they were in." Setsuna said quietly after returning from the kitchen.
"So this new evil is the Dark Empress?" Rei asked, changing the subject, as she ran a brush through Usagi's silver locks. She had missed her best friend and the subject of her death upset her. She was gone far to long.
"Hai." Setsuna intervened. "I've felt her evil since we got here. Not to worry, she's more evil than powerful. We can probably take her out quickly with just the Outer Senshi." She added.
"Should maybe some of the inner senshi come along, just to make sure?" Makoto asked cracking her knuckles.
"Or maybe the generals?" Nate interrupted, also ready for a fight.
"No, you all need to stay here." Setsuna said with a soft smile.
"Why?" Star asked frowning.
"Because it is important you all have your memories from your past lives. I doubt that the inner senshi or Earth Generals remember that they were once lovers." Kyle who had been staring at Minako turned away and she blushed profusely before Rei and Jadeite went off about how absurd that was.
"It's true." Serenity said.
"I've been remembering things. Jadeite and Rei, they always fought but loved each other with a fiery passion. Minako and Kunzite, they loved each other with all their hearts and fought hard for their charges. Nephrite and Makoto, they always competed, but no one else could compete for their hearts, for they loved each other. Ami and Zoisite always studied, but studied each other more." Usagi blushed after her small speech when realizing that everyone stared at her.
"What about Tranquility?" Minako asked, noting she was alone.
"Oh. She wasn't alone." Usagi noted Motoki watching her sister with a smile. "She had a Prince of her own." She said with a wink at Motoki who turned rather red.
"Well, sorry to interrupt, but it's time for the battle." Haruka said with a grin.
"Hai, it is." Small Hotaru nodded.
"We'll be leaving then. When I leave drink some of the tea I left in the kitchen, it will leave you sleepy and while you sleep you'll receive your memories." Pluto informed them. Everyone nodded and watched the outer senshi go into battle.
"I... I suppose we get started then. I'll serve the tea. Everyone get comfortable." Rei said sliding the door open and going to grab the tea.
Everyone waited patiently and Rei returned promptly with the prepared tea. "Let's get to it then." Usagi said taking some of the tea. Everyone followed Usagi's actions and took a cup and drank it down quickly.
"Ech, it's bitter!" Makoto said. "She should have let me make it" Makoto said sleepily.
"Hai... you always were a great cook Makoto." With that said everyone fell into a deep sleep.
~*~
Minako was the first to awaken. She noted Kyle's long white hair and his chiseled features. His hair though she noticed, was all wrong. It was tied back! No, it must not be bound by that ribbon!
She moved closer to his sleeping form and she reached for his hair but his hand grabbed hers. She let out a gasp as she saw his ice blue eyes. They were stunning, just like she remembered. He let go of her hand and sat up to face her.
"So... you do--" she nodded and silenced him with a quick kiss.
"I'd never forgotten." She said. Her blue eyes never leaving his.
~*~
Rei awoke next, she could tell Justin was now sleeping normally. He had probably been tired from the fight, and her kicking him as she awoke in his arms up on the building. After he had saved her. She smiled and moved closer to him. She wrapped an arm around his waist and snuggled up against his warm body. She too slept normally too. Remembering wonderful times in a past life.
~*~
Makoto awoke. The bitter taste of the tea still apparent. She noticed the sleeping Rei and Justin and the cuddling but awake Kyle and Minako. She noticed Nate still in his memories. She smiled at him, remembering his touch and the gentle way he got her to calm down when she lost a fight against Haruka. She decided to make some new tea for when he awoke. She got up and walked into the kitchen and began to prepare her special tea.
Just as she was boiling the water she heard the pitter patter of feet. She expected to see Minako or Kyle but instead was greeted with the warm smile of Nate. Water forgotten she ran to him and wrapped her arms around his strong body. Inhaling his sweet scent. He smelled of trees, he'd always smell of trees.
~*~
Ami woke up and noticed the soft scent of the ocean air. Only to realize it was the person she was next to. Zach groaned laid next to her dreaming peacefully. She smiled happily before snuggling next to him.
~*~
Usagi opened her deep blue eyes. She noticed Mamoru's across from her. "Do you understand how much I love you?" He asked softly.
She nodded. "It's eternal." He smiled at her answer and got up. "Let's go for a walk and enjoy the morning." Usagi nodded and the two left the room.
~*~
Tranquility opened one eye, two eyes and then blinked. She had always found Motoki cute but had never realized he was her lover. She slowly sat up and noticed he had been sitting up, watching her this whole time. "Y-You always looked beautiful when you slept." He said, his voice held love and affection. Love and affection for her. She smiled and threw her arms around his neck. "So who's cuter, me or Serenity?" Motoki rolled his eyes. Even in another life she was going to play the "who's cuter me or,,, game". He smiled and indulged her. "You of course. Who could compete with Tranquility the almighty elder moon princess?" She smiled and snuggled into the fabric of his shirt. She could get used to this.
~*~
Over on the other side of town a scream erupted from a dark cavern. "Well that's taken care of." Uranus said dusting off her hands.
"Hai, but now lets indulge ourselves." Neptune said with a knowing smile. "You do know what the inner senshi are doing don't you? Getting to know their loves again, what a better day to spend with me?" said with a playful glint in her eye.
"Hai, sounds wonderful Michiru-chan." Uranus said letting and arm go around the aqua haired senshi's shoulders. The two bound off in happiness.
"Well, what now Setsuna-chan?" Saturn asked her Plutonian friend.
"We go off and enjoy a chocolate malt. On me." Pluto said with a smile at the younger girl. Saturn smiled. Knowing that her fellow senshi were happy at last.
