Naisei
Chapter 10
Rated R
Yes, you guessed it. I got my computer fixed... finally. As promised, here is the next chapter of Naisei. There is only one or two more chapters after this. I read over my old chapters before I wrote this, I messed some stuff up... but I'm too lazy to fix them -_-;; I should really get myself an editor.
Thanks everyone who's reviewed and remembered me. I don't know how wonderful my spelling will be, I'm using a different program then I'm used to using. After my computer was fixed I started running system X for macintosh and I don't have all my disks. Thanks everyone.

Minako walked up to the apartment door and knocked nervously. In a few hours this would all be over and Usagi would hopefully be back to her normal cheery self. Though a part of her knew this experience would make her more cautious.
The door opened to reveal smiling Rei in a light red sun-dress. "Good, you're here. Everything in prepared." Rei said waving them through the door.
"Prepared?" Usagi questioned looking in Rei's direction.
"Hai." Rei said sitting her down on the couch. "Minako has asked me to do a reading for you." Rei lied easily. It was easy to lie to someone you knew so well.
"I thought it might brighten' things up a bit." Minako said with a nervous giggle, that Usagi failed to catch. She had been to busy doing as Rei instructed. Like laying down and closing her eyes.
"Minako-chan, would you help me in the kitchen?" Rei asked as she let Usagi settle.
"Hai." Minako answered, knowing that Rei needed to speak with her before the resurfacing of the memories were to occur.
"Hold on a moment," Rei said softly to Usagi "we'll just be a moment." Rei got up and walked into the kitchen, followed closely by Minako. Usagi laid like Rei had asked her, not making a sound but trying her hardest to over hear what they were saying. What was this all about? She was quite sure there was much more to this than a reading. Those usually included the shrine and sitting in front of the great fire. But then again Rei had probably gone through lots of new training considering this was the future. Feeling satisfied Usagi tried to relax again.
In the kitchen Rei turned to Minako. "This will take about an hour. I'll need no interruptions or it may not work. So I'll need you to stand guard. Do exactly as I instruct you. Understand?" Minako nodded an affirmative. This seemed to be enough for Rei for she turned back toward the spacious living room and sat a chair next to the couch where Usagi laid.
"Have you relaxed?" Rei asked softly. Usagi replied with a quiet 'hai'. Rei began by grabbing a bowl of a red mixture on the coffee table and dipping the end of her forefinger into it. She traced her finger, covered in the mixture, over her forehead into the sign of Mars and then she did the same over Usagi. Usagi stayed still, knowing somehow that this was important.
Rei began to chant softly in Martian, her eyes closed, and the symbol on her forehead became bright, her true symbol was shining through the fake one. Somehow the red mixture and what she was chanting had caused this reaction. The painted symbol on Usagi began to glow as well, and a faint silvery crescent moon appeared as well underneath the Martian symbol.
Rei opened her eyes and turned to Minako. "She is in a deep sleep and the two of us are bonded. As soon as I say the last words I will not be able to hear you until the ritual it complete. Henshin in five minuets time and do not try to wake us." Minako nodded, confusion apparent upon her beautiful features and Rei turned back to Usagi. She put her hand over Usagi's glowing Martian symbol, chanted a few more words, then she slumped over in her chair. Her hand was still connected to Usagi's forehead, a faint red glow could be seen even though her hand covered the symbol completely.
Minako nearly cried out but refrained and began to watch the clock. Five minuets passed and she took out her henshin wand. She stared at it for a moment before she voiced to no one. "Why henshin?" It was after she uttered those words that she heard the explosion. Her eyes widened and she did as she had been told.
Her transformation complete Minako checked on the two senshi. Usagi was fine and in her trance, same as Rei. After knowing they were fine Minako flew to the window and saw what had caused the explosion. Mamoru, clad in black armor was outside the complex. He had sensed senshi energy!
Minako quickly shut the blinds and ran to the door. She sent one fleeting look at Rei and Usagi, still in their trances before she ran outside to the street, now turned battlefield. She saw Mamoru as soon as she had exited and the building, he had not seen her however and she used that to her advantage to make it look she had come from a different direction. Anything to make him not detect her best friend and princess.
"Oy! Shit for brains!" Minako called. Mamoru turned to her. She had only seen him from far away until now and she realized now why there had been a flux in the time stream when she had arrived to this time. This Mamoru looked the same as the one from her time. Not older. The SAME, Mamoru had followed while Setsuna was busy with her. It was HER fault he was even here! Tears threatened to fall but she pushed them back. 'Not on the battlefield Minako!' she reminded herself.
"Aino Minako... otherwise known as Sailor Venus I presume?" Mamoru's voice came out raspy and coarse. Not at all the soothing sound that Minako remembered. Something was wrong Minako's mind alerted her. This was NOT Mamoru!
"Who are you?" Minako spat out with venom.
"I see you're smarter than your blond hair suggests Sailor Venus." The mock Mamoru said with a sickening laugh. "I am an old enemy. It was you I believe that killed me and Serenity that took my lover from me. I do believe you knew him as Zoisite."
Minako's eyes widened. "K-Kunzite?" She questioned with disbelief.
"I've been bidding my time, I finally had the chance to come back and take the prince's body over. He has no clue that he hurt the one he loved so dearly. He's slowly dying inside, trapped in a fantasy of a lovely marriage with his 'Usa-chan'" Mock Mamoru spit out with disgust.
"It's over! Your energy is dangerously low! Don't you think I haven't sensed it? You used it all to get here didn't you?" Minako noticed a crowd beginning to form. She sent out a blast of golden energy rendering all the people unconscious. Nothing to hurt them, just so they didn't spread things to the news.
"I don't care what you think you sensed! I'll take the princess's life. I can tell the ritual is already coming to an end and as soon as she wakes I plan to take what she thought I'd taken in the first place!" He said with a nasty grin. "I don't usually take women, from previous experience's you must know I prefer men." He said with another sickening grin. "But if it means I can make her suffer, I'll make an exception."
Minako had heard enough. "No more! You're a cruel and heartless creature! I'll send you back to hell where you should have gone in the first place!"
Kunzite in his 'Mamoru skin' began to gather a lightening blue attack just as Minako threw her Love and Beauty Shock at him. He flew a few feet and landed on the pavement with a skinning crunch.
"You're barely even maintaining your energy!" Minako scoffed. "You're just trying to cling onto that body! As we speak Mamoru is in agony trying to awaken from his dream world YOU'VE created!"
"Yes, but you see, even if you kill me, you kill Mamoru too!" Minako was caught off guard by this statement and Kunzite used this to his advantage and threw a large ball of negative energy at her causing her to topple over. She got up rather quickly however, her energy still intact.
"You should have saved your energy!" Minako spat. She quickly came to a decision. She threw another Love and Beauty Shock at him. Anything to save her princess. Mamoru's body fell once again to the hard ground and didn't move again.
Minako moved closer to it, there was a life force, but it was very small. She knelt beside Mamoru's body. His eyes showed darkness for a few seconds before they turned the deep blue they normally were. "M-Minako-san." He said softly. His voice once again the soft soothing on she knew.
"Mamoru-san?" She questioned.
He nodded but he began to cough and a trickle of blood ran down his chin. "Arigatou Minako-san. A life in a dream world, is not a true one. Take care of Usagi for me. Tell her I am sorry I was not strong enough. Tell her-- tell her I love her and to be happy without me." He said softly. He coughed again before he continued. "Tell her to move on. To make her own destiny. These will be my last words Minako-san. You're a wonderful friend." He coughed again and then went silent.
Minako whipped tears away with the back of her white glove. He had not been strong enough. But she knew someone who would be there for Usagi one day. Someone that would be there.
She de-henshined and walked toward the apartment as the people around her began to stur.
