Betrayal in its Truest Form
Note: Okay, this is my first attempt at a WK/SM X-over, I still haven't seen WK all the way through so... if something is incorrect, sorry. Okay, I want to dedicate this lil number to GirlChama03 aka Mako-chan for renewing my inspiration for writing. It's just the type of story you'd like, Usagi-centered with the same old story… take a look at the title 'Betrayal in its Truest Form' looks Like Usagi is going to be betrayed once again… I KNOW how much you like stories where Usagi is betrayed and such (P.S. Sorry if some of you don't know what I'm talking about… if you want email me and I'll tell ya bout it k?). pokahydee@hotmail.com
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Weiss Kreuz so please don't sue me. The story belongs to me; steal and you'll be in physical pain.

Chapter 3 - Sweet Dreams…
Usagi had a headache and her face was throbbing. She couldn't open one eye as she blinked into the darkness that surrounded her. She touched the sore eye gingerly and winced at the burning pain it caused. She was in a sitting position with her back leaning against a wall. Outside of the door, Usagi could hear voices talking dully. More strongly, though, she heard cried of pain.
"Nani? What did he do to me?" Usagi asked outloud as she rubbed her throbbing head. She managed to climb to her feet and stood wobbling slightly in the closet. "Let me out of here, Schuldich no baka!" Usagi shouted as she banged on the door with her fists.
"Schuldich?" Omi mumbled tiredly. His whole body had gone numb from the beating so he no longer felt the biting pain that ripped out in his body with each lash of the whip.
"Who sent you to kill me?!?" Hirofumi demanded again. Omi grit his teeth as he was struck again. He let the air out and spat blood toward his brother.
"Let me out of here!" Usagi's muffled cry filtered through the closed door.
"Quiet onna!" The man with orange hair snapped.
"Let her go, baka!" Omi spat in disgust. "This has nothing to do with her!"
"Oh?" The man with the orange hair said with a smirk. "Are you sure? She's seen something that she shouldn't have. We're just tying up a few loose ends with her. We have to get rid of the garbage some how ne?" Omi's eyes narrowed on the man with orange hair, what had Usagi called him? Schuldich? How did she know him anyway?
"Omae o koroso!" Omi growled out as his anger started to grow.
"Maybe a little later kitten." Schuldich said with the same arrogant grin on his face. Omi could hear Usagi banging on the door with all the strength she could muster and still it didn't budge.
"Let me out of here, baka!" Usagi growled, slamming her bruised fists against the closed door.
"The kittens have finally arrived to play." Schuldich said quietly as a wide grin spread across his face.
"I'll ask you one more time! Who sent you to kill me, Mamoru?!?" Hirofumi growled as he prepared to strike Omi again.
"You're not my brother." Omi growled out with his teeth clenched and his eyes squeezed tightly shut.
Usagi slammed her shoulders against the door as hard as she could as she faintly heard what Omi had said. She slammed her shoulder against the door again and felt as the door started to give. She came tumbling out of the closet, her arms flailing all over the place as she tried to get her balance; she ran right into Hirofumi and the two fell heavily to the ground.
"Baka!" Hirofumi shouted in anger as he slammed her sharply across the face.
"Itai…" Usagi gasped as her hand instinctively went to her stinging cheek.
"Takatori…" A low voice growled before the large windows of the penthouse shattered, sending a spray of glass throughout the room. Usagi saw the figure that stood there and couldn't seem to place where she'd seen him before. He looked very familiar, though Usagi couldn't find out where from. He reached inside his long trench coat and pulled a very sharp-looking katana out, preparing for battle. The things that made him look so familiar was that fire red hair and those cold violet colored eyes.
"N… nani?" Usagi gasped as she watched him fight. "Masaka…"
"Come on, onna!" A harsh voice snarled as a hand clamped on her upper arm. She felt his grip tighten as he pulled her to her feet. "You're coming with me!"
"Iie!" Usagi cried as she fought against him. Hirofumi was strong though, stronger than she was so she was forced to follow him.

Omi stood on the open highway with a large bow in his hands. It was much larger than the normal crossbow he took with him on missions, but it was something he reserved for times like these, when he needed a little more distance and when he had a little more time to aim. It didn't matter though; he could handle this one just as easily as his crossbow. Omi's muscles tensed as two beams of light flowed over him. He was still on his motorcycle and slowly brought the bow up, fitting an arrow comfortably onto the string that was held taut. Hirofumi had arrived… this would be their last showdown… Omi took note of the blond girl that sat in the front seat beside Hirofumi and his eyes narrowed.
"Gomen if you're hurt Usagi-san." He said solemnly as he released the arrow.
Omi stayed poised in the same position as the car passed. He cringed slightly when he heard the crunch of metal and the shattering of glass and his head hung in sadness and release.

Usagi painfully opened her eyes and found herself staring into endless white. Her head hurt worse now than it ever had in her life. The pain told her that she was still alive though, she questioned how that came to be.
"Itai…" She said quietly while she sat up. She was surprised to see that the room wasn't the pink, bunny-filled room she had begun to get used to. "Where am I?" She mused aloud as she slowly swung her feet over the edge of the bed. The door opened and a familiar figure carrying a tray entered, closing the door quietly behind. It took Usagi a moment before her eyes adjusted to the light and she realized who had entered.
"You're in my room, Usagi-san." Omi said as he brought the tray over to her. "You should lie back down for a while." Usagi nodded slightly and allowed Omi to prop a few pillows up behind her back so she could eat what he had brought her.
"What happened Omi-kun?" Usagi asked hoping it hadn't been Aya and the others she had seen the previous night. "I remember seeing a man with red hair fighting Schuldich and then that guy… I don't remember his name, grabbed me." Usagi started as she rubbed her head. She felt a bandage wrapped around her forehead. "What happened to my head? I feel like I've been in a car accident."
"You were." A deep voice said from the doorway as a man with red hair appeared through it. Usagi gasped slightly as a sudden realization hit her… Aya WAS the one that was fighting Schuldich the other night. And if Aya was that man, then that meant… Usagi looked over at Omi and her eyes grew in size.
"N… nani?" Usagi gasped as she scooted herself toward the opposite side of the bed away from the two of them. "You!" Usagi cried as she finally reached the other side of the bed and stood up, the bed in between her and the two guys. "You killed that Ryu guy!" Aya didn't respond but his eyes followed Usagi as she started to round the bottom of the bed. "That means…" Usagi started and let her eyes fall on Omi. Omi only nodded his head and Usagi finally knew the truth. These were the men that had saved her life. Usagi had so many weird thoughts running through her head now, she wasn't sure she could even sort them out.
"Ryu wasn't the target." Aya said calmly. "Your father was the target." He continued in the same monotone voice.
"N… nani?" Usagi stammered, not sure she had been hearing him correctly. "Masaka! What could my Otousan have done?!"
"He was a beast." Aya continued calmly. "He kidnapped young girls and sold them on the black market to different countries."
"That's not true!" Usagi cried in dismay. "You're lying! My father would never do something like that!" Aya only looked at Usagi; his eyes trained on her every move.
"He gave you to that monster, Ryu without a second thought." Aya commented, trying to push his point.
"That's not true! My father loved me! It's a lie!" Usagi cried as tears began to stream freely down her face. Usagi fell to her knees as loud sobs escaped from deep within her throat and escaped in violent shudders.
"That's enough Aya-kun!" Omi growled as he stood between Usagi's tear-stricken form and Aya's stone cold form. He glared at Aya as best he could and at that particular point, could have challenged one of Aya's best.
"It's not true…" Usagi sobbed from her spot on the floor. Omi fell to his knees beside her and gathered her crying form into his arms, letting her lay her face against his chest. He wrapped his arms comfortingly around her shoulders, trying to get her to calm down.

Nagi stood outside the small flower shop looking up at the familiar blond he'd been sharing an apartment with for the past few days. He knew where the girl would be and also knew Schuldich's plan. Still, the girl intrigued him; he couldn't help but watch her every move. He could tell Schuldich had fooled her. He had to give Schuldich props for his acting abilities. He could have challenged the best actors in movies and won. That also was something that came with being telepathic. He knew what people wanted to see and he knew what people didn't want to see. Usagi's thoughts were jumbled as Nagi tried to see how she was doing emotionally. She couldn't even decipher the jumble that Schuldich had stirred up and Nagi doubted she'd be able to reorganize them alone. Nagi frowned as he sensed Abyssinian's presence and a scowl immediately appeared on his face. ~Those Weiss guys are going to blow this whole plan.~ Nagi thought to himself.
~Don't worry about him chibi-kun.~ Schuldich's cocky voice sounded in Nagi's head.
~Demo-~ Nagi was about to interrupt.
~Don't worry, everything is going as planned. Just keep an eye on her ne?~ Schuldich continued. Nagi sighed but agreed.
~Hai, Schuldich.~ Nagi replied.

"Why did we bring her here?" Ken asked as he stood in the flower shop with a hose in his hands. The store hadn't opened yet so they were opening everything up for the day.
"Because she needs our help." Omi replied simply as he rearranged the pots on a shelf.
"Demo, she's a target. She's going to blow our cover." Yohji broke into the conversation.
"That's the reason we need to protect her, Yohji-kun." Omi argued. Yohji only smirked as he made a sudden realization.
"Just because you like some girl doesn't mean you can jeopardize the rest of us." Yohji commented which in turn sent a raging blush across Omi's face.
"Nani? I don't like her like tha-" Omi started but was cut off.
"That's enough!" Aya snapped causing silence to fall over the group of men. "She's the only lead we have on this group. She's still useful to us."
"Gomen… I didn't know I was just a tool…" A soft voice said sadly from behind. "I won't jeopardize your safety anymore. I'll just let them kill me since I'm not important enough for you to protect me." Usagi commented as she turned and ran out of the store onto the sidewalk and down the street.
"Matte!" Omi called after her as he dropped a pot and took off after her at top speed. He could have easily outrun her if it weren't for the blue blur that snatched his arm as he was running by.
"Omi-kun! Where are you going?!" Oka cried as she immediately attached herself to Omi's arm as he tried to pull away from her tight grasp. "Matte Omi-kun! I was so worried! Where were you last night?"
"Usagi…" Omi whispered as he saw the twin blond streamers disappear around the corner. Meanwhile, he was being pulled back in the direction of the flower shop.
****
~Damn Weiss!!~ Schuldich mused to himself as he watched the blond run out of the flower shop. ~After all of that hard work, those bakas scared her away. Hmm… now Bombay-kun, he might still be a useful kitten.~
~What are you going to do for Usagi?~ Nagi asked mentally as he stood next to Schuldich.
~She's your responsibility now, chibi-kun. I need to have a word with Bombay-kun.~ Schuldich replied with a wide, twisted smirk. Nagi sighed but agreed. He decided he'd better go look for the blond before she managed to get into even more trouble, if that were possible.
Schuldich turned away from Nagi and headed back to his sports car, leaving the teenager to watch him speed off. Nagi began to walk in the direction Usagi had taken off to, hoping he could catch up to her.
What is he planning anyway? Nagi asked himself, still unsure of Schuldich's 'master' plan he kept boasting about. It seemed to have changed along the way and Nagi wasn't sure he liked the turn of events. He wanted to see that girl again; she was so vulnerable… She's a lot like Tot-san. He thought to himself as he rounded the corner. I'll make sure she makes it out of this alive… He silently vowed. It was almost a subconscious vow though, that he wasn't even aware of.
****
Usagi could feel the hot tears that hung on her cheeks while she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Her lungs felt like they were going to burst but she couldn't stop, she wanted to get as far away as she could. She just wanted this whole thing to be a bad dream that she'd wake up from and laugh about later because it was so silly. Iie… She told herself. This is not a dream… this is my life now… I'll spend the rest of it running from the memories and the betrayal… She thought sadly. Is this really going to be what the rest of my life will be like? She asked herself. So many questions had been going through her mind since her father's betrayal. Was Abyssinian really right about that? It couldn't have been, her father would never do something like that to anyone. He was a good man. Usagi sighed and stopped running, the air going in and out of her lungs in short painful gasps.
~Usagi-san…~ A familiar voice sounded in Usagi's head. She ignored it and kept on walking. The low voice persisted though. ~Usagi-san, I need to speak with you.~
~IIE!~ She snapped as she began to run again.
~Matte!~ Nagi called after her as he took off running. He caught up with her easily and could tell she had overdone it. Her body was shaking with loud sobs and her breathing was very heavy.
"Usagi-san! Breathe!" He nearly shouted as his body started to glow white. Usagi's face was turning an unreal shade of red as Nagi began to run down the street. His eyes held a look of worry and anger as he rushed madly toward the nearest hospital which happened to be about 5 blocks from him.
"Nagi… kun…" Usagi said still wheezing heavily.
"Quiet Usagi-san, you'll make it worse." He said as he looked down at her. She nodded and wrapped her arms around Nagi's neck and burying her face against his chest as she struggled to breathe.
****
Usagi was sleeping now, an oxygen mask covering her face. Nagi was sitting beside her in the chair, trying to see into her head. He couldn't see her thoughts clearly and there were so many demons inside of her. Her mind seemed so dark and gloomy but he could see remnants of silver crystals that had been shattered long ago. It was so strange; the demons that were inside had weird symbols on their foreheads. Some had black crescent moons and others had black stars. There were pieces of some sort of huge palace shattered all over the ground and he could vaguely make out a large monument with a crescent moon on top that lay on it's side. He looked up toward the sky and saw something very familiar looming in the sky… the earth.
"Nani?" He said as he saw the outline of the earth. Where is this? Am I still in her head? Nagi asked himself as he took in the strange surrounding. He couldn't find Usagi anywhere and the strange human-like creatures were starting to come after him. He quickly found himself surrounded and tried to pull out but they grabbed him, preventing him from leaving.
"Who are you?" A faint voice asked from within the debris somewhere.
"Naoe Nagi." He stated simply, not looking for the source of the voice. He felt uncomfortable in this place and was a little worried that he might not be able to get back out.
"What are you doing here?" The voice continued.
"…." Nagi didn't answer as he searched for the source of the voice.
"How did you get here?" The voice persisted. Nagi still didn't answer as he pulled his arms away from the weird creatures that had grabbed him.
"Let me out of here." Nagi said quietly. He was surprised when a woman stepped into his view. "N… nani?" A smirk spread across the girl's face as she approached Nagi.
"Welcome Nagi-kun…"
