Chapter 6: The Reawakening!
~Ever since I first met you
I've been shining in my heart
My love causes so much sorrow
I broke off my glance so quietly
Your insignificant gestures
And your ordinary words
Every time I think of them
I feel like I'm going to cry~
"Watashi tachi ni Naritakute (Want to be Together With You)" SAILOR MOON SuperS
A kiss, that's all it was…then why did it make her go weak in the knees, like they'd give out any minute. As the kiss deepened, she placed her hands on his shoulders, in an attempt to hang on. She felt his hands on her waist, lightly pulling her against him. For a Jinzouningen, he sure knew how to kiss.
He was lost in the moment, forgetting everything but her, and then he pulled away suddenly, much to his dismay, looking away, "What was I thinking?" he said to himself, hiding his real expression behind a scowl.
"Juu-chan…" Usagi whispered, blushing.
He faced her then, running his fingers along her cheek, his eyes narrowed in thought. "I used to hate humans…" he smirked sarcastically, closing his eyes, "such a waste of time."
She blinked her sapphire eyes full of confusion.
With a chuckle, he shook his head, and took to the air without another word.
"Juunanagou." Usagi's face fell, as she placed her hands on the balcony railing watching him disappear into the sky, unsure of how to feel.
"Don't stress about it Usagi." A kind mellow voice said.
Usagi looked to her side, "Helios." she smiled glad to see the Illusion guardian again.
He stood beside her, his expression content, "He'll be back."
"Are you sure?"
"Hai." he nodded, "If I'm correct, he's gone to find Japan."
"E!" Usagi exclaimed, her eyes wide, "Sugoi!"
Helios chuckled faintly, "With his help, you'll find them soon."
"Aa." she returned her gaze to the sky, touching her lips, still feeling his kiss.
It was a good thing he was a Jinzouningen, or else it would have been impossible for him to walk underwater. Walking on the bottom of the ocean was nothing new to him, he had done it before, during his battle with Picorro all those years ago, it brought a slight smirk to his face, remembering how fun that had been, before Cell showed up and ruined it.
He had to admit, that lip contact with Usagi had been nice…he couldn't place the feeling, but it gave him an adrenalin rush. And Gero thought he had erased all his human emotions, what a joke. How many mistakes had he really made? His programming was off, and with his emotions returning, was there a chance he could regain his human memories? So many questions, it was maddening.
His lips curved into a frown, he could think more on it later; he had to find what remained of Tokyo, Japan. The water may have been pitch black, and from what his advanced vision could see, there was nothing but rocks and sand. Nothing remained of Japan. He was sure he had the right location, 'Maybe it's all buried.' he thought, scanning the area closely, 'Guess I have to dig.'
Normally, it would have taken archeologists years to dig up a lost city, yet it took only a few hours for Juunanagou. What a site at that, buildings still stood their ground, including a very rusted tower. There were a few minor objects, but they dissolved at his touch. 'So this was Usagi's homeland.' he mused to himself, looking at the city's remains, 'There has to be one of those crystals around here somewhere.' he searched the place, until he caught sight of a small light coming from underneath the sand. 'Finally.'
Usagi yawned, still trying to wake up. Maybe turning the shower water from warm to cold would help. She thought about it for a second, and then changed her mind, letting the warm water soothe her instead. It was nice of Bulma to invite her to spend the night. But it was a restless night for Usagi, first she couldn't stop thinking of Juunanagou's kiss, and then she had to go and dream about, like it was happening all over again. That was really unexpected, first he blames her for messing with his programming, and then he kisses, her not that she didn't like it, she didn't understand him.
"Juu-chan…what's happening?" she sighed heavily, bowing her head. As if she didn't know, it was denial, to the feelings she had toward Juunanagou, like it or not. Her mind told her it was out of the question, but her heart told her it didn't matter. If he was really a mindless machine, then why did he waste time on her, protect her…she didn't know, and what would his answer be if she asked him.
She stepped out of the shower with that in mind, and began drying herself off with a towel, noticing that her previous clothing had been replaced with fresh ones. An appreciative smile graced her lips. Bulma was so nice and thoughtful.
"Oi, are you done yet!" A deep male voice yelled from the door, along with a loud knock.
"Just a minute." Usagi answered, slipping on a pair of new sneakers.
"Hurry up." The voice commanded gruffly.
She frowned at the tone; the voice was unfamiliar to her, "Alright." she sighed; leaving her shoelaces untied, and opened the bathroom door, only to be shoved aside by a very muscular man with pointy black hair. He slammed the door behind him, without so much as glancing at her. "How rude." she scowled at his poor manners, and walked back to her room.
Usagi walked back to her room and flopped down backward on the bed. She didn't want to fall back asleep but the bed was just so comfortable. Bulma definitely had good taste in blankets and pillows. The mattress was full of goose feathers so you just sunk down inside of it. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Usagi could smell breakfast wafting through the door to her room and rose reluctantly from the bed. She swung her feet to the end of the bed and leaned down to tie her shoelaces.
She stood up and walked over to the vanity mirror and plopped down in the cushioned chair. It wasn't nearly as comfortable as the bed, but it was still squishy. She picked up the brush off the vanity and pulled it through her long blond hair. She thought about putting her hair up in the normal two buns on either side of her head but thought better of it. She didn't want to wear her hair like that… not until her Senshi were returned to her. Instead, she quickly pulled her hair up into a ponytail on the back of her head and fastened an elastic band around it.
She tightened the band and stood up to look herself over in the full-sized mirror on the opposite wall. She was wore a dark blue long-sleeve mid-drift mini-tee that laced up at her chest and was cut low. She also wore low-rise, hip-hugging jeans that accentuated her hips and added to the aura of perfection that seemed to hang low around her. She walked back over to the chair and grabbed the black Capsule Corp. vest she had thrown carelessly over the arm and pulled it on over the 'too-small-shirt'.
Usagi, satisfied with her appearance, straightened her vest and walked out of the door and down the hallway. She took a left at the end of the hallway and paused as she was approached the same bathroom as before. The gruff man came storming out, half-dressed with soap in his hair. He wore a towel around his waist and water was dripping down his rippled chest and stomach.
"You used up all the hot water." he threw her a scathing look as he passed.
'If looks could kill.' Usagi thought, watching him disappear around the hall corner.
Usagi sat at the table, her eyes wide at how much food covered the table. Sure she had eaten at a buffet, by this put any restaurant to shame. Who was going to eat all of it? She wondered, gulping. Bulma sat next to her along with her young son, apparently they were waiting…
"I'd introduce you to my parents but their on vacation." The blue haired woman said.
"Mom, can we eat yet." Trunks frowned impatiently.
"Not until your daddy gets here honey." she told him.
At her words, the same man Usagi had seen earlier entered the room. He wore a pair of brown khaki pants with a black tank top that exposed his muscles a great deal. His hair was still pointy in that gravity defying style of his.
Usagi shifted uncomfortably in her chair as his coal black eyes fell on her and seemed to bore right through her. His glare only deepened when she tried to look away, but he didn't speak right away.
"Usagi, this is my husband, Vegeta." Bulma said as she motioned to the glaring man. She looked over at her husband, who didn't look up from his glaring at Usagi and cleared her throat. "Vegeta, this is Usagi. She's Juunanagou's girlfriend." Bulma explained with her smile still in place, although Usagi saw a slight twitch in her eyebrow.
"It's nice to meet you, Vegeta-san." Usagi said as she refused to meet his gaze. He seemed to be searching her for something, but Usagi had no clue what.
"Explain yourself, onna!" Vegeta demanded after another moment's silence. Usagi was taken off guard and nearly fell out of her chair at his sudden outburst.
"Eh? Explain myself?" Usagi started as a sweatdrop appeared on her forehead, "Gomen nasai. I didn't know I'd used up all the hot water."
"Not that, baka!" Vegeta growled as he stood up and slammed his fist on the table beside his plate. Usagi, Trunks, and Bulma all jumped at this and Usagi reluctantly pushed her chair back from the table a few inches.
"That's enough Vegeta!" Bulma said sternly as she turned to glare at him.
"Shut up, woman!" he yelled back at Bulma and turned back to Usagi, "What the hell is that aura around you?!? How can a little girl like you possess that much power?!?"
"I… umm…" Usagi didn't know what to say to him as she stood up and took a few steps back. He was terrifying when he was mad. "I don't know what you're talking about." Usagi lied. She had no intention of telling him about the Moon Kingdom or her past. Especially after the way he'd treated her.
"Vegeta." Bulma stood up finally, "Stop it!" she yelled. Vegeta turned to glare at her but said nothing. He spun around on his heel and stormed out of the room toward the back of the house.
"I'm going to go train." he grumbled as he disappeared around the corner.
Usagi sighed in relief, still a bit shaken. Bulma placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't mind him; he's a Saiyajin Prince so he tends to act like that."
"Saiyajin Prince?"
"Hai."
Was it just her or were things getting weirder and weirder, first a Jinzouningen, now a Prince, what was going on? Who were these people?
A sunset, another thing that would never change, never stop, it was comfort. One of few that Usagi had. So many changes, could she handle it, get used to it. She hugged her knees to her chest, watching the sky change in color. Why did Nehelenia do this to her? It was so cruel. She rested her chin on her arms. She felt so alone, what was taking Juunanagou so long? She moved her gaze to the city below, Hope City. It was so strange and different, at least from the hill, she could see it clearly.
"I know what you feel Usagi." said a male voice from behind.
"Helios." Usagi smiled, keeping her eyes on the scenic view.
He sat down beside her, "He's part of the Z-senshi."
"Nani?" Usagi glanced at him.
Helios shrugged, "Prince Vegeta, he's helped protect earth.
She frowned slightly, "He could be a little nicer."
The Illusion guardian chuckled, "I know."
"He knows something Helios." she said seriously.
"I don't doubt it."
"Why's that."
Helios leaned back staring at the sky thoughtfully, "He's very powerful." he reached a hand up to shield his eyes against the light and squinted because a small speck seemed to be hurtling toward them at an alarming rate.
Usagi noticed his intent gaze on the sky and looked in the same direction and a smile broke out across her face. She waved her hands in the air as the form of Juunanagou seemed to grow in size as he got closer, "Juu-chan! Over here!" Usagi cried as she waved her arms around.
Helios glanced over at the blond and a small smile touched his lips. Even this short of a time after her reawakening, she seemed to be taking a place in this new world. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl; she had been released from her prison to find out that the man she loved abandoned her for the enemy. Even through all of that, she could manage to find something to smile about.
Juunanagou landed in front of the blond girl several minutes later and was shocked at what he saw. The girl was dressed like the other humans of the city except that there was less material in certain areas. He didn't realize that the outfit had been cut that way to draw the eyes to her 'better' features, but he didn't need to know that. He could feel his face growing warm as he looked her up and down in something akin to awe. She was gorgeous… that's all Juunanagou could think. After a moment, he caught himself and crossed his arms over his chest and forced a frown onto his face.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." he said lazily, approaching Usagi, "Look what I found." he held out an open palm.
She gasped, staring at the aqua gem. A wider smile graced her lips as she took the crystal, hugging it to her chest. "Neptune." she whispered, and then held it in both hands, holding it up until it levitated a few inches off her hands. She spoke the words that would release the senshi and held the gem over her head as it began to glow.
Juunanagou watched as the aqua light brightened, and he covered his eyes with an arm. When he looked again, a girl a few years older than Usagi stood before them, dressed in the oldest style of clothing he had ever seen. She had wavy long aqua blue hair, and a strange symbol shone on her forehead.
She wore a knee-length, pleated skirt that matched the color of her eyes, and a short-sleeve blouse that had a small jacket covering it. Her eyes appeared to be out of focus, she just stared straight in front of her. The symbol on her forehead began to fade after a few moments and her eyes focused. She scanned her surroundings quickly and nearly jumped in front of Usagi. Even when she was disoriented, her senses as a Senshi were as keen as ever...
"Michiru!" Usagi hugged her, tears in her eyes.
"Usagi?" The woman recognized the girl, and hugged her back.
Usagi was going to say more, when she felt the weight increase. Michiru eyes closed, it looked like she was about to faint. Usagi didn't have to struggle under Michiru for long because strong arms lifted the girl a moment later. Usagi glanced over to see the aqua-haired girl lying motionless in Juunanagou's arms. Usagi reached forward and brushed a strand of hair from the Outer Senshi's face as the tears continued to trickle down her face.
"Don't worry, Michiru-san, we'll find the rest of the Senshi together." Usagi said more to herself than to anyone in particular.
Usagi lay back on the grass and stared up at the sky. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and Usagi was able to make out the Milky Way even with the light pollution of Hope City. Usagi couldn't help but frown when she thought of a certain spiky-headed jerk called Vegeta. Every time she ran into the man he made her so incredibly angry. He was such an egotistical maniac.
They had just brought Michiru into one of the spare rooms at Capsule Corp. so she could get some rest when Vegeta came walking down the hallway. He was dressed in spandex so tight you probably had to get a potato peeler to take them off with sweat dripping from every inch of his body. Not to mention the horrendous odor that was being emitted from him. Juunanagou had gone to get Bulma so she could look Michiru over to confirm she was uninjured and Helios had disappeared somewhere. So Usagi was alone when he approached.
"What are you doing, baka?" he growled as he approached the blond, "This isn't a hotel you know! You can't just bring in all of your little friends without an invitation!"
Usagi sat up and dug her fists into the ground next to her, "That guy makes me so mad!" she growled to herself as her eyes narrowed and her teeth clenched.
"Who, Vegeta." Juunanagou rested his arms behind his head, laying beside her, smirking in amusement, "That's what I used to think." he raised an eyebrow. "Actually, he still gets on my nerves." and then he narrowed his eyes, "He's all talk, nothing more."
Usagi laughed faintly, and then returned her eyes to the sky again, her expression serious, "Juu-chan…"
"Ne."
She hesitated, "How far into the future am I?" she looked at him, her ocean blues held a look of questioning.
He sat up then, running a hand through his hair. He couldn't believe he was actually feeling uneasy, something he hadn't felt since his fight with Cell, stupid human emotions. "Do you really want to know?"
"Aa." she nodded, dreading the answer. She took in a long shaky breath and hung her head slightly as she waited for the answer.
"Two-thousand years."
Usagi gasped weakly and looked away, staring at the city lights below. "Two-thousand years…" The reality of it was overwhelming; everything she knew and loved was gone. She put her hand over her mouth and closed her eyes to fight back the tears that were prepared to overflow. "It's not fair." she whispered, "I failed, I don't deserve to be Serenity-hime or Sailor Moon, and my home… my people are gone."
Juunanagou placed a hand on her shoulder, he knew what she felt; he had lost everything too, except his sister. Although he didn't think it would make much difference to her, he had to say something. "You still have your Senshi, Usa-chan."
She shook her head in defeat, tears trailing down her cheeks, "It won't matter, Nehelenia has won, and I can't defeat her without the Golden Crystal's powers." Usagi silently cursed herself for being so weak as she let the tears flow freely.
He touched her cheek, and tilted her head so that they were face to face, "With me by your side, I know it can be done."
She narrowed her eyes at him and spoke in a clear voice, "This isn't a game Juunanagou."
"Who said it was?" he cupped her face wiping her tears with his thumbs, "I may be a Jinzouningen…demo I don't think I'll lose interest in you anytime soon." He stared into those ocean blue eyes with an intensity that made a shudder run through Usagi's body. He could feel her trembling against him as he gazed down at her.
Usagi's face reddened when he said this and she felt a small smile spread across her lips. A strange change had seemed to come over him since she'd first met him. He seemed to be opening up to her or something. She knew he was a Jinzouningen, but his actions were human. Just from looking at him, you'd never know he was an android by appearance, but he retained that cold personality of a non-human. Now, though, that was not the case. His eyes were burning with something and it wasn't hatred. Passion? Love? Friendship? Usagi wasn't really able to distinguish what she saw in his eyes, but she liked it.
Her smile widened slightly and the tears continued to flow, this time for a different reason though. He had instilled hope back into her heart. She wasn't alone, she had her Senshi, and she had him. Without even thinking, she launched her self onto him and wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head against his shoulder as sobs raked through her body.
She pulled away from him after several minutes and pressed her lips firmly to his. She felt him draw back at her sudden movement as he tried to push her back from him. His eyes widened in shock as the small golden-blond girl pressed her lips against his. He wasn't quite sure how to react, he didn't know whether he should wrap his arms around her, or push her away. His head was screaming at him to push her away, but he couldn't seem to do it because his heart was pulling him back toward her. He was torn between two desires and neither seemed to want to give out. He fought his brain and programming as hard as he could but it lost out in the end and his arms closed around her. He wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss and the other was pressed against the middle of her back for support. He felt her mouth open and took the opportunity to explore the contours of her mouth with his tongue, caressing the insides of her mouth while his hand rubbed her back soothingly.
Usagi could feel his lips and hands, this kiss was by far, more intense than any she had ever experienced. Could she keep up? She had to inhale from the nose in order to breathe his lips were sealed tight onto hers.
It was like he had no control over anything anymore, like his heart and body did everything on its own accord, his mind and programming had no say or place. He felt his body nudging her gently as he urged her to lie back on the grass. She obliged and lay on the cool grass with his arms wrapped tightly around her. He took one hand and trailed it across her bare stomach and felt a shudder run through her body. He smirked slightly to himself as he heard a small gasp from their slightly parted lips. He could feel her hands tugging at his face to resume the kiss and happily obliged to her small whimpers that sounded vaguely like the noises of a kitten that wanted milk from its mother. After a moment more of staring into her ocean blue eyes and stroking her golden hair, he gave into her demands and let his lips cover hers once more.
"Juu…" Her voice trailed off as he continued to kiss her, she buried her hands in his hair, and kept her lips to his. She didn't care what he was, he was what he was; just Juunanagou. Nothing else mattered at the moment, only him.
"This is so damn sickening." A male voice interrupted them. Usagi jumped at the familiar voice and instinctively buried her face in Juunanagou's chest. She felt him go ridged as he sat up to face the newcomer. His eyes narrowed in dislike as they fell on a short man with spiky black hair.
"What do you want?" Juunanagou asked in a cold voice, furious at having been interrupted by the likes of him. He helped Usagi sit up and stood up, blocking Usagi from Vegeta's view.
"I want some answers about that girl." Vegeta said simply with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes narrowed on Juunanagou. He took a few steps closer to get a better look at Juunanagou's face and smirked slightly. It was kind of funny to see the android with that sour of a look on his face. It gave him a sense of satisfaction to see that he had ruffled him so much.
"It's none of you business Prince Vegeta." he glared at his former enemy with cold ice blue eyes, "Leave or I'll be forced to make you." he stood his ground in front of Usagi, his arms still folded.
Vegeta's scowl deepened and he balled his hands into fists. He put one hand in the air and formed a relatively large blast of energy. It glittered blue in the night and floated several inches above his hands. "Looks like I'll have to force you to tell me." he said with a confident smirk.
