A Time of Darkness

Chapter 19: In The End
Sailor Pluto's ruby red lips curved into a smile. "No, Princess."
"What?" Usagi asked.
"I thought that two people couldn't exist in the same time. Diamond is from the future," Mars mushed. The raven haired beauty was lost in her thoughts and raised her head when she heard Pluto's voice.
"Well, that is true, but the future has changed. Mamoru is no longer Prince and will never become King. Serenity-hime doesn't love Mamoru anymore. She has fallen in love with Diamond. As well as Small Lady being their daughter. Everything has changed...."
Diamond's violet eyes widened. "But I am from the future!"
Sailor Pluto lips purshed. "That is true, but as I have said things have changed-"
"What? How?" Usagi questioned rapidly.
Crimson eyes closed briefly. "That will be hard to explain and I do not wish to spend time on it because I will be punished even more," she said.
"Punished? Why?" Mercury cried. This Senshi had done so much for them and she was going to be punished?
"It is simple. My duty is to guard the Gates of Time. I have left my post and that is not allowed. It is a taboo made by Queen Serenity herself. I have left the Gates because of my Princess' future. I couldn't allow for Endymion to get away with his lies nor for Serenity to suffer once more, " the dark skinned beauty said with a sad smile.
Usagi shook her head. "No! You can't be punished! You helped us so much. Its not fair."
"Life is not always fair, Princess. One must take the punishment that they deserve. I broke the taboo and I must take what I deserve," Pluto said gently.
"Still its not fair..."Usagi whispered.
"But I broke a taboo too. Shouldn't I be punished?" ChibiUsa asked.
"No, Small Lady. You did it because your home was destroyed and your mother needed your help," Pluto corrected, "Please, enough. My punishment will happen and there is nothing to do about it."
"What is your punishment?" Diamond asked.
"My punishment is death," Sailor Pluto answered gravelly.
"What? NO!" Usagi screamed.
"Hush, Princess. What will happen will happen," Pluto soothed. She turned to Diamond. "Prince Diamond."
"Yes?" he answered as he tried to comfort the blond girl.
"You have fallen in love with Princess Serenity. She is from the past, of course and since you have come here and help her...you are allowed to stay here," she said.
"But what about my past self?" he asked.
"You are now the past self. The other one has been erased," Pluto explained.
Suddenly Diamond's face paled. "What about my brother? Is he alive?"
The dark haired Senshi smiled and closed her eyes. Soon a figure began to appear with a brillent flash of light. Dark hair and blue eyes....
"Saffire!" he cried as the brunette blinked and focused.
"Brother!" Saffire said and ran over to his brother. "What happened? The Wiseman trapped me in the dungeons a while back and said that he was going to kill you."
"Its alright. The Wiseman is dead," he assured as he turned back to the Senshi of Time.
"Will he be able to stay as well?" he asked hopefully.
"If that is what he desires," Pluto said.
"What? Saffire asked. "Stay? In the past?"
Diamond nodded. "I'm going to stay here in the past with Usagi."
Saffire smiled as he noticed his brother's eyes. They were no longer cold and emotionless. Instead they were bright and full of love. If his brother was happy, then so was he. He nodded in agreement.
"I will stay too," he said and turned to Usagi, " Thank you, Princess for warming my brother's heart and giving him love."
Usagi smiled, but said nothing. There was no need for them.
Pluto gave a slight nodd. "Then it is settled."
She raised her Time Garnet which gave out enormous amounts of energy. Everyone watched in slight awe as the light faded. It was beautiful.....
Pluto's red eyes shifted to Usagi and smiled softly. "It is done..." she announced. Then her body gave a slight spazm. Her eyes closed and she collapsed on the cold hard ground.
"PLUTO!" Usagi screamed as she ran over to the fallen Senshi with the others on her heels.
The blond knelt besides the Time Senshi as did the rest. Sailor Pluto opened her eyes at the sound of their voices.
"Do not fret, everyone. I broke the ultimate rule. I deserve this..." she whispered weakly.
"Pluto..." ChibiUsa muttered as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Princess, Small Lady, Prince Diamond, and Senshi, may you all find happiness in the future and do not mourn for me," she said softly.
"NO!" Usagi cried as the Time Senshi's breath stopped and closed her eyes. As they cried her body began to fade and disappear.
She's gone....
Those words echoed throughout their minds as tears of sadness made their way down their faces. ChibiUsa sobbed in Usagi's arms. Her only friend was gone. The one who had first said that she looked like her mother and that she will become a beautiful lady.
"PLUTO!" she screamed.
Usagi quickly gathered the small girl in arms and let her cry. Then she turned her face to the sky.
*Thank you, Pluto....* she thought as sobs began to shake her shoulders.
**************
ChibiUsa awoke to find herself in her bedroom and her eyes saddened immediatly. Pluto was gone....Slowly she began to put her blue uniform and gather her things. Last she put on the hat that Ikuko gave her and headed out
"ChibiUsa?" a voice asked softly.
The silver haired girl looked up and saw Diamond and Usagi staring at her. ChiUsa offered her a slight smile.
"I have to go now. Mama and Papa are calling me," she said softly. Usagi's face crumbled instantly and began to cry.
"I don't want you to go," she whispered sadly as she smiled weakly. ChibiUsa's face also crumbled as she threw herself in Usagi's arms.
"I don't wanna!" ChibiUsa cried as Diamond gazed at them in sorrow.
Usagi raised her face and looked at her future daughter. "Lets go."
***********
Everyone watched as the three of them neared the park. Each one of them had a saddened expression and tears shimmered in their eyes. All four of the girls gathered around the small Princess.
"I'll miss you, ChibiUsa," Ami whispered.
"Say hi to your mom and dad for me," Rei said as she smiled.
"See you, ChibiUsa," Makoto beamed, but her green eyes showed sadness.
"Bye, ChibiUsa. Don't wet your bed again," Minako chirped with the same expression as Makoto.
"I won't," ChibiUsa promised.
"Goodbye, ChibiUsa," Usagi said softly and hugged her daughter.
"Take care," Diamond said as he ruffled her hair.
"Bye!" the Princess said and ran into the beam that appeared after their goodbyes. Then the silver haired child disappeared after giving them a smile.
Usagi gazed up at the white haired man and smiled. Diamond smiled back as well. Everything felt so right now....
Nothing was wrong....
Perfect....
Slowly their faces itched closer as their eyes closed. Their lips meet in a sweet kiss laced with passion and Usagi wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Mine...." Diamond whispered posessivly.
Usagi smiled, but then jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Usagi! You lucky girl!" Minako piped with a big smile.
Rei's violet eyes sparkled with laughter. "Yes, really lucky! She couldn't get a guy by herself."
"REI!" Usagi shouted angerily as she began to fight with the brunette as Mina joined in. The others watched in amusment as the two girls taunted Usagi.
"Everything is right with the world now," Diamond said.
"NO! ITS NOT!" Usagi wailed.
**************
Hah! Not your classic romantic ending!!! There is still the epilouge though, so not quite over. I'm going to school now!! NO! ^^;; Errr...yeah. Disclaimers: Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi *sneaks out*
