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? Or just read about it in my 'rants' section http://www.mysticallegends.net/rants.htm). pokahydee@mysticallegends.net

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 4 - Mind Games

"Who are you?" Nagi asked as his eyes softened a little. The woman that stood before him was wearing a black dress that had silver beads stitched into the fabric and fell into piles at her feet. She had long silvery-blond hair done in the same style as Usagi and had a silver upturned crescent moon on her forehead. Her blue eyes were dull and dark; there was no sparkle in their depths. Her eyes seemed so dark they could have easily been taken for being violet or even black.

"I am Usagi's representation of herself." She stated simply, no smile gracing her lips, only a deep scowl. "Her view of herself has changed somewhat in the past few weeks. This is all that's left of her imagination." Her eyes narrowed coldly on Nagi. "It's all your little group 'Schwartz' fault too."

"Weiss is the one that killed her father, not Schwartz." Nagi stated simply, no emotion on his face.

"That is true but, Schuldich has warped her mind. He has filled her head with visions of revenge and then he turns around and betrays her again." The woman stated simply, a bitter look on her face. "She has started to look at herself with shame and disgust. She believes everything is her fault and she will try to escape it all. And it won't be through death…"

"I have been doing all that I could do." Nagi stated as his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You must do more then…" She stated quietly. He watched intently as the woman began to fade away into a mist. She waved her hands slightly, motioning for the monsters to release Nagi.

****

Nagi's eyes flew open as the images disappeared. He'd never been able to get into someone's head like Schuldich. Normally he'd just move things with his mind, not really see into their thoughts. It was strange, there must have just been something about her… maybe she pulled him in somehow… weird…

"So here you are Nagikins." A familiar voice said behind him. Nagi turned around and glared harshly at Schuldich.

"Haven't you done enough? Why don't you just leave now." Nagi said quietly as he glared at the older man.

"She's just so much fun to play with. I haven't had this much fun in a long time." Schuldich said with a wide smirk. "She's even more fun to pick on than Weiss."

"Just stay out of her head." Nagi quietly warned. Schuldich pouted slightly and flopped in the chair on the other side of Usagi's bed. He knew not to make Nagi too angry, he could be quite dangerous when he wanted to be. It's not like Schuldich was scared of him, he just didn't want to piss him off to the point he decided to blow up his car or something.

"She's such a cute kid. Too bad she'll be dead by the time this whole thing is over." Schuldich said quietly. Nagi frowned slightly. He didn't want to see Usagi die the same that he didn't want Tot to die. Schuldich smirked as he caught Nagi's train of thought.

"Thinking of the genki terror?" Schuldich questioned as he put a picture of Tot into Nagi's mind wearing a thong and a translucent bra. Nagi's cheeks turned the color of a cherry at the images Schuldich sent into his mind.

"Stop it Schuldich." Nagi warned while he tried to force the raging blush down. Schuldich smirked triumphantly and leaned back in the chair, crossing his hands behind his head.

"How long until they release her anyway?" Schuldich asked casually.

"They won't know until she wakes up. She had some sort of asthma attack." Nagi said with no emotion on his face.

"Hmm…" Schuldich mused to himself as he stared at the sleeping blond. A smirk spread across his face as he came to a decision. "Since she won't trust me now, you're in charge of her. Don't let the kittens hurt her, I'll get you when she's needed."

"She's not a tool, Schuldich!" Nagi snapped as his eyes narrowed on the German. "I won't let you poison her mind any more!" Schuldich just smirked at Nagi and sent some rather nasty thoughts into the young telekinetic boy. Schuldich's smirk only grew bigger when he saw Nagi try to fight the raging blush that crept over his face. "Stop that Schuldich!!"

"Ja." Schuldich said casually as he stood and headed for the door.

Nagi looked at the floor, still trying to get the images from his mind. Schuldich is really dirty… He thought to himself as he put his hands over his face to try and cool the heat that radiated from his skin.

Omi punched the nearest wall when he was alone in his room. He was frustrated… He'd helped Usagi twice already but he seemed helpless to improve her mental state. He had left the flower shop shortly after Oka grabbed him but was unable to find the blond woman. He'd gone by her apartment but all the windows were dark and there was no sign anyone had been there in the last few hours. Where could she be?!? He thought as an angry look crossed his face. There's no way she could just disappear! There was a knock on the door.

"Ne?" Omi questioned as he turned toward the door. The door opened slowly and Ken walked into the room and sat on the end of Omi's bed.

"How are you doing?" Ken asked as he looked at the younger boy.

"…." Omi didn't answer as he looked at the floor with his eyebrows knitted. "I couldn't find her."

"Aya-kun and Yohji-kun were looking for her too. They haven't seen any sign of her." Ken stated quietly.

"Aya no baka is the one that scared her away!" Omi snapped angrily. "If it weren't for him, Usagi would still be here safe and I'd be able to protect her from those monsters!" Ken kicked his feet nervously across the carpet before he looked up at Omi.

"You love her… don't you?" He asked simply.

"Eh?" Omi questioned as he looked at Ken. "I… ah…" Omi sighed in defeat as a blush crept across his face. "I just don't want her to get hurt… yeah, that's all. I want to make sure she lives through this."

"Uh huh…" Ken said with a smile. "Come on, kid. Let's go find her. Get your gear on, I'll be back in ten minutes ne?" Omi looked up at Ken with a half-smile.

"Hai." Omi responded with the same half smile. At least Omi had one person that would help him out… someone that wouldn't turn around and try to use Usagi for leverage. Omi smiled slightly as he opened his bottom dresser drawer to took out his assassin clothes. Of course he kept his darts and crossbow and all of his other weapons hidden, but his clothes were all right just in his dresser. He quickly changed and lifted up the loose floorboard to pull out a few darts filled with tranquilizer. He couldn't be too careful, especially with the people that were after her. He didn't want to startle her by carrying his crossbow so he just took the darts and a few other projectiles.

~Hello there, koneko.~ A voice purred. Omi's eyes narrowed as he stopped moving. He searched for the source of the voice but couldn't seem to locate it. ~You won't find me, kitten.~ The voice continued.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Omi asked harshly in a near whisper. The voice seemed to be coming from inside his head.

~I want you to stay away from her…~ The voice stated.

"Stay away from who?" Omi asked as he clutched his head between his hands.

~You know who I'm talking about… if you try to help her, I'll put a bullet in her head… or worse…~ The voice continued with a hint of glee in it.

"If you lay a hand on her, I swear I'll kill you myself." Omi growled out. He was never one to lose his temper in this manner but he couldn't help it anymore. He was normally the quiet, shy one of the group. He was also the brains of the group, he did all of the computer stuff by searching different buildings for their target and things of the like. This time he couldn't hold in his anger. He was just about ready to snap.

~Then I'd suggest you stay away from her…~ The voice continued. Even though Omi couldn't see the face behind the voice, he knew this person was smirking in triumph. ~You don't want to expose your secret do you?~ He questioned.

"What are you talking about? What secret?" Omi asked, dreading the answer. This person knew whom Omi was… he was going to try and black mail Omi to stay away from the blond woman.

~Don't play stupid. You know what secret I'm talking about, Bombay.~ The voice said confidently.

"What do you want with her anyway?" Omi asked in a soft voice.

~I want to play with her a little more… She belongs to me anyway. She swore an oath to me.~ The voice said.

"What are you talking about?" Omi demanded. What was this guy talking about? An oath? What kind of an oath?

~She will serve me and I'll help her get revenge against the men that took her revenge away~ The voice said with glee.

"Took her revenge away?" Omi questioned.

~You killed the person she wanted revenge against… You killed her father… and you killed the man that tried to take her away.~ The voice said.

"We didn't kill her father! He was dead when we got there!" Omi interrupted.

~You could have saved her father.~ The voice broke in. ~You were there watching the whole scene. You were waiting for the chance to strike. I saw the WHOLE thing.~

"Eh…?" Omi questioned as realization slowly dawned on him. Usagi's father HAD been the target. Even if they would have jumped in and helped her father, they would have ended up killing him anyway. Omi frowned and put his head in his hands. In actuality, Usagi should be getting her revenge against him for the death of her father.

~Now you get it.~ The voice said with a smirk. ~The whole thing was a set up… you're the one she's after, she's going to kill you. See why I tell you to stay away from her?~

"I…" Omi started but couldn't think of the words to say. Kuso…

~Exactly… Kuso is right. I'm just giving you a warning. Stay away from Usagi…~

"…." Omi couldn't think of anything to say. The voice was contradicting itself.

~Think about it koneko…~ And with that phrase, the voice was gone.

Was that all in my head? Omi thought as his mind began to spin. What in the WORLD was that all about? Whoever was in his head, whether it be someone else or his own subconscious, they were confusing. First he said he'd kill Usagi or something worse than that… then he said that Usagi was sent to kill him. "Weird…"

"You ready to go, Omi-kun?" Ken asked as he pushed the door to Omi's room open. Omi was sitting in the middle of the floor in his boxers with his assassin clothes strewn around him. "Eh? You're not ready yet? Hayuku so we can find her, ne?" Omi looked toward him, a haunting look was on his face. Omi nodded slightly and quickly dressed.

****

Schuldich smirked to himself as he receded into the darkness of the alley below the Koneko no Sumi Ie. That kid would still be a little fun to play with. Schuldich had confused the hell out of the kid. He laughed quietly to himself.

"That kid doesn't even know if it was a voice within his subconscious." Schuldich mused out loud. "There's still a lot of fun to be had here."

****

Usagi tried to sit up but her chest hurt too much to move. When she opened her eyes she saw nothing but white until her eyes slowly came into focus. She glanced to her right and saw hospital window. Nani? A hospital? She thought as she scanned the room. She jumped in surprise when she saw Nagi sleeping in the chair beside her bed. She regretted the jerking motion a moment later as pain ripped through her chest and stomach. She groaned quietly and held her chest while she took a few gasping breaths. She didn't notice the boy's eyes open at her quiet noise.

"Daijoubu?" He questioned, which surprised her again.

"H… hai…" She said as the pain began to subside. "What are you doing here?" She demanded as her anger began to return. "I don't want to see you or Schuldich ever again."

"Would you rather I'd left you in the street to die?" Nagi questioned slightly.

"Eh?" Usagi questioned a little surprised.

"You were having trouble breathing. If I had left you there, you would be dead right now." Nagi said in his monotone voice. Usagi sighed and looked out the window.

"I would have rather died… than go on living here…" Usagi said as her eyes cast down to the floor. "There's nothing here for me… I have not friends, no family, I don't have anything."

Nagi frowned again and did something uncharacteristic of him. He gathered the girl into his arms and held her against his chest. He didn't notice the flaming blush on his cheeks or the blush on her cheeks as well. He didn't think before he acted. That's what earned him the uncharacteristic smack of Usagi's hand.

"Don't touch me!" She growled as she turned away from him. "I don't trust you! Just leave, I want to be alone!" Nagi nodded slightly and stood up.

"Hai, Usagi-sama." He stated before he left the room. When he was out of the room, Usagi burst into tears.

****

Omi frowned slightly as he walked down the street with Ken. They had been searching for about 3 hours now and hadn't seen any sign of the girl.

"Kuso!" Omi swore as he slammed his fist into the nearest wall. He slammed his fist again against the bricks and then again until someone grabbed his wrist.

"Stop it Omi-kun!" Ken yelled as he nearly tackled the youth to the ground. "You're gonna hurt yourself!"

"Where could she go?!?" Omi nearly yelled as he balled his hands into fists.

~You could try the next block…~ A voice sounded in Omi's head. Omi nodded his head slightly and stood up.

"Let's try the next block." Omi said as he stood up and rubbed his sore hand.

"You sure you're all right?" Ken questioned. The kid had been acting very strange on this little excursion. Every now and then he'd become frustrated and not want to continue searching, but then he'd get a burst of confidence that she was just around the corner, or two blocks north of there. I hope you're right, Omi-kun… or else that girl is a goner… Ken thought to himself as he followed the kid with sandy-colored hair.

~That's right… just a little further… she's in the building just ahead of you… you know she's there.~ The voice in Omi's head continued.

"Yeah… she's in there… that building right there… on the 10th floor." Omi said. Ken gave him an odd look. Omi was talking to himself again… there was something going on but Ken wasn't sure what yet. He'd have to be on his guard.

Omi and Ken headed toward the shabby apartment building ahead. They hadn't seen any sign of Usagi so how Omi knew this is where she was, Ken wasn't quite sure. As they neared the building, Ken saw something lying on the ground. Omi ran to the object and picked it up. It was an earring. It dangled in Omi's hand with a small crescent moon at the end. Ken recognized it. Usagi had been wearing those earrings when she's left the Koneko no Sumi Ie. He'd noticed them because not too many girls her age wore earrings with stars or moons on them. Not many girls wore their hair in the childish style either, though.

"Come on, Ken-kun! Usagi-chan has to be here!" Omi said as he grabbed Ken's arm and pulled him into the building toward the stairwell.

"Matte, Omi-kun! What if it's a trap!" Ken broke in as he tried to free himself from Omi's grip.

"I have to save Usagi!" Omi cried, not realizing how stupid it was to barge in with no plan. For some reason Ken wasn't able to free himself from Omi's grasp. Man that kid has some strength… Ken thought as he struggled to rip his sleeve.

"Omi-kun! Wait a minute! Let's get a plan. You're going to get us killed!" Ken growled as he pushed Omi up against the wall. Omi pushed Ken away and continued up the stairs.

"You're just like Aya and Yohji, you want to use Usagi as a tool!" Omi cried as he took off up two more flights of stairs. "I'll take care of this myself!"

"Omi-kun!! Matte!!" Ken growled as he chased after the younger boy. "Do you want them to kill her?!? Omi-kun!!!" Omi was already to the 10th floor and running down the hallway though. Ken growled to himself and ran down the hallway after the boy. "Omi no baka!"

"Usa-chan?" Omi questioned as he pushed open a door on the right. Inside he saw the silhouette of a person with long hair up in the pigtails. "Daijoubu Usagi?" He questioned as he took a few steps toward the figure. Ken burst into the room just in time to see a silhouette throw some sort of a smoke bomb on the ground. He covered his mouth and rushed toward Omi. He took the younger boy into his arms and pulled the boy's face into his chest to try and keep him from breathing in the smoke.

"You played out your part perfectly, koneko-chan…" A quiet voice said as the silhouette approached the two people. Ken's eyes and lungs burned but he paid it no mind. He slipped on his claw and swung it at the figure. The metal glinted in the light that barely filtered into the room through the dusty windows. His arm flew wildly and met with the floor as a foot pressed its weight against his hand.

Omi picked his eyes up to look at a woman just as she pulled the wig off of her head. Blue streamers of hair poured out from under the blond wig as Omi found a blade pressed against his throat.

"You hurt Tot-chan's papa. Tot-chan will kill you know." She said as she pulled the umbrella back and prepared to thrust it into the boy's throat.

"Don't kill them yet, Tot-chan." A voice said as a man stepped into the room. "Not when you can have so much more fun with them." Tot looked toward the man with the bandana and frowned.

"Tot-chan doesn't like you. Just let Tot-chan kill them now." She said as she glared at Schuldich.

"In time, Tot-chan. We'll make your revenge against these two sweet. But first, I have a gift for you." Schuldich said with a smirk. He pulled out a gun and pressed it against her forehead.

"N… nani?" Tot stammered as she felt the cold metal against her forehead.

"I just needed you to play a small part. But your part in this movie is finished. Ja." Schuldich said as he pulled the trigger.

Tot's eyes widened in surprise as she heard the sound of the gun. She knew Schuldich was a bad man… like her father. Why had she trusted him?

"Iie!" Omi cried as he tackled the girl to the ground. He stood up and glared at Schuldich, a dart in hand. "It was you!" Omi growled after he recognized the voice. Ken stood behind him with his claws drawn. "You're the one that's been inside my head!"

Schuldich smirked to himself. He hadn't expected his toy to figure it out so soon. He had hoped he'd be able to play with his toy for a few more days before he finally killed him. Oh well, he'd have to get rid of them right now. Brad told him not to kill Weiss yet, but Brad never said he couldn't kill one of two members of Weiss.

"Sleep…" He said as he attacked the three other people in the room. He sent a mental barrage into their minds.

Omi and Ken keeled over, holding their heads between their hands. They were both crying out in pain as they felt their minds being ripped apart. Tot just slowly rose to her feet and walked toward Schuldich.

"Tot-chan… will kill… you now…" She said pausing. Her eyes were glazed over as she held her umbrella out in front of her with the blade drawn.

"Nani?!?" Schuldich growled as his attack didn't seem to affect her. "How?!?"
