Naru knew it was going to happen soon. But how soon? How could she
be prepared in losing her best friend Usagi? She had no idea how
much it would affect her. Usagi meant a lot to Naru. At times
Naru knew that Usagi was like gold; soft and precious. Not only
that, Naru realized that Usagi was Sailor Moon. This deepened
her relationship with Usagi. Naru would even go as far as to
protect Usagi-Chan, even it meant her very own life. Naru's
mother knew that Naru had changed. Every time Naru's mother
saw Naru, she knew that Naru was concerned about someone else.
Naru's mother already knew, sometimes she wants to hear it
from her daughter.
"Naru. Is something wrong?"
Naru's mother asked.
"Well... yeah... my best friend... is... going away?"
Naru answered. She was at the point that she was almost in tears.
"Going away?"
Naru's mother looked puzzled.
"Yeah... Usagi is fading out of existence."
Naru answered.
"Is she dying?"
Naru's mother asked.
"No... she'll stop being Usagi-Chan and will be another person
completely. Maybe in a way she is dying..."
Naru tried to explain her problem. She barely understood it
herself.
"I see. Maybe you should try to be around Usagi as much as
you can, because you'll regret it later."
Naru's mother told her daughter.
"I understand."
Naru replied.
"Usagi, I'll protect your weakened body until the very end!"
Naru thought to herself as she made an oath to herself. Usagi's
final moments are drawing closer!
Passion of Oneself
Episode 07
"Family Ties"
Rated: PG-13
Notes: Hello! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! I need some
advice! Do you think Mamoru's DNA should change? Is so, it'll
happen in episodes 14 and 15! I have two different titles in mind:
the first is "Return of Endymion" and the second is "A New Crisis"
so see I don't know which to choose. Episodes 14 and 15 will also do
with Naru being brainwashed by the Chaos Moon. So please let me
know. Also, beginning episode 7 I will be adding more drama
(trying at least) so I will try to tell the best story I can!
E-mail me at CKNight09aol.com and let me know how I am doing!
Thanks! As of today, I got 20 reviews! Keep it up and thanks!
I'll keep writing! This series takes place after Sailor Stars.
Enjoy!

07
Ami Mizuno was transformed as Super Sailor Mercury. She had her V.R.
visor activated. She had developed a program to let her scan Usagi
to see how the DNA process was going.
"Well? How is she?"
Mamoru asked.
"About 55 percent of her DNA has been rewritten. it has accelerated
lately. Becoming Sailor Cosmos, must have sped up the rewriting
process. If this continues, Usagi will be gone and Princess
Serenity will return."
Ami replied.
"So, do the fights accelerate the rewriting process of her DNA?"
Luna asked.
"I think it's still conclusive. I would have to monitor her
and see if it is true. However, if Usagi is gone, she'll
never be gone. We can remember her in our memories, right?"
Ami asked.
"That's true. It bothers me knowing, that the girl that I loved
like a daughter will be gone."
Luna stated. She looked like she was going to cry. Luna jumped
up and laid by Usagi-Chan.
"She needs our support more than ever before. we need to let her
know that we are here for her, to make the time she has left
is very enjoyable and relaxing to her. It's only going to get
harder and not better."
Ami tried to explain to the others what they needed to do.
Then the phone rang.
"Moshi moshi?"
Makoto answered her phone.
"Oh, Hi Miss Kino?"
Kenji Tsukino asked on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, this is Makoto Kino. Who is this?"
She asked.
"This is Usagi's father. Is Usagi around?"
Kenji asked.
"Yes, but she's asleep."
Makoto answered.
"That's okay. we'll be by later. We want to take her out, so
she knows how much we care for her."
Kenji told her.
"I understand. I'll be waiting for you."
Makoto answered.
"Okay. Goodbye."
Kenji told her and hung up his phone. And Makoto did the same.
"Who was that?"
Rei asked.
"Mr. Tsukino. They want to take Usagi out I guess."
Makoto answered.
"I see."
Rei stated.
"So, what do we do in the mean time?"
Minako stated.
"Well."
Ami started and then continued again,
"However, I'd think it be good for each to take turns to tell
Usagi how much we mean to her. It may not help Usagi, but it
will help us cope with the fact that Usagi is changing forever."
Ami explained.
"I understand."
Mamoru replied.
"Good. Maybe Mamo-San would want to go first since he is Usagi's
boyfriend."
Ami suggested.
"Sounds good."
Mamoru agreed.
"Good. We all, can wait in Makoto's bedroom and just chat in there.
When Mamoru is done, the next person can go talk to Usagi."
Ami suggested.
"Okay."
Everyone agreed and going to Makoto's room. Mamoru went over
and knelt down next to Usagi and took her right hand and held it
in his.
"Usako. I want you to know that I was always thrilled to be around
you. You were special to me. No matter what happens, you'll be in
my heart!"
Mamoru told a sleeping Usagi. She started to stir. Then she wake
up and she realize who had her hand.
"Mamo-Chan!?"
Usagi questioned.
"Hush! I am here for you."
Mamoru told her as he put is finger to her lips.
"Just hear me out. Okay?"
He asked. She nodded in response.
"Good. Usako, it was always a pleasure in protecting you. I always
was glad to protect you in good times and in bad. Just remember
I am always in your heart."
Mamoru told her in a quiet tone.
"I go get someone else."
Mamoru told her as he got up and walked off to Makoto's bedroom.
Once there, they all looked at Rei. Rei was the next to go.
Rei went out and knelt next to Usagi and took her hand.
"Usagi. You know I loved you very much right? No matter
how many times we fought, right?"
Rei asked Usagi.
"Hai, Rei-San!"
Usagi replied.
"Good, I am so happy I had a chance to meet you. You are special.
There's no one that could replace you."
Rei continued.
"ChibiUsa can!"
Usagi tried to joke.
"Hmm, and she might do a better job than you huh?"
Rei asked. Usagi and Rei laughed. Then a tear appeared out of
Rei's eyes. She got serious.
"You're going to be gone soon and I cannot stop it!"
Rei sounded harsh. Usagi put her fingers up to Rei's eyes and
wiped the tears away.
"Don't cry Rei-Chan! Don't cry! I command it"
Usagi commanded.
"Yes, I will obey!"
Rei replied as she wanted to please 'her' princess.
"Good."
Usagi replied while smiled slightly.
"Maybe I have someone else come in."
Rei stated. Then she left. Out came was Ami. Ami stood next
to the couch where Usagi was laying. Ami just watched her
friend. She was no longer transformed as Sailor Mercury.
She wanted to see Usagi as herself 'Ami Mizuno.'
"Usagi-Chan, I just wanted to know that I care about you..."
Ami started as she suddenly stopped. Usagi just watching her
friend as her friend struggled to say the correct words.
"It's ok, Ami. Let the words speak from your heart and not
from your mind."
Usagi requested.
"Arigato. I just hope you were happy around us. And that
we helped you to be happy. Sometimes, I know I can over
analyze about situations. All I want for you is to be
comfortable."
Ami finished what she wanted to say. On the other hand, Usagi
still had the headaches and pain through body, but she wouldn't
tell anyone about it, because they were worrying enough already.
The only one who may have sensed it was Rei, and maybe she wouldn't
tell.
"Thank you Ami-Chan."
Usagi thanked her. Ami went back to the bedroom and out came
Makoto. Makoto kind of smiled as she looked at her friend.
"Usagi, I just want to tell you it's been a pleasure cooking
great things for you and protecting you."
Makoto spoke quickly and boldly.
"I know. Thanks."
Usagi thanked her. Usagi was trying to keep all of her emotions
together. It was hard, but crying was something she did best.
Even now, she could still give a good cry. Makoto came down
to where Usagi was and hugged her. Then she went back to her
own room and Minako came out.
"Usagi-Chan. Thanks you."
Minako thanked her. She couldn't say anymore. Minako was like
the sister that she never had. Minako did a lot together with
Usagi. Minako felt that Usagi was dying. Usagi surprised her.
"I am not dying Minako-Chan! I am only changing. Remember that in
the future."
Usagi told her.
"Right! Thanks!"
Minako thanked her and gave her a hug and left for Makoto's bedroom.
Next was Hotaru. Hotaru knew how Usagi felt. Hotaru knew what pain
felt like. Having a weak body. Hotaru knew all of this.
"Usagi-Chan, I understand. Will ChibiUsa be gone if you do?"
Hotaru asked her.
"ChibiUsa will still exist. She is the daughter of Serenity and
Endymion and not Usagi and Mamoru."
Usagi explained.
"Right. You are special to me. Thank you for your time Usagi!"
Hotaru told her friend and then hugged her. After that Hotaru
went back to the bedroom. Next came out were Haruka and Michiru.
They were always together and even at this moment, would be
together.
"Hello Princess."
Haruka and Michiru addressed her.
"Hello."
Usagi replied.
"I wanted to know, you are one of the bravest girls I had ever
known. It was great to know someone like you who save this planet."
Haruka spoke.
"I always thought of you going beyond what you were supposed to do.
And I mean in the line of doing your duty. It's been fun fighting
with you."
Michiru told Usagi.
"Thank you."
Usagi thanked them. Haruka and Michiru want back to the other room.
Setsuna came out.
"Usagi-San, hello."
Setsuna greeted her.
"Hi, Setsuna."
Usagi responded.
"Usagi, I want you to know that you were a great a person and I
think ChibiUsa will agree with me."
Setsuna told her.
"Thank you."
Usagi replied. Setsuna came down were Usagi and hugged her. Then
they just looked at each other and smiled. The she went back to
the room. Next came Artemis.
"Usagi, thank you for all you done. I cannot thank you enough."
Artemis told her and went to the room and then Luna came out and
jumped on Usagi's chest. Then she just looked at Usagi with great
love.
"Usagi, thank you very much. I cannot begin to thank you enough
for your efforts."
Luna told her. Tears flowed from Luna's eyes. Luna loved Usagi
like her own daughter.
"You sure have gotten braver and stronger."
Luna told her. After she said this, everyone came back out. There
was a knock at the door. Makoto answered the door. It was Kenji,
Ikuko, and Shingo.
"We were going to take Usagi out somewhere nice."
Kenji told Makoto.
"I understand. Go ahead."
Makoto understood. Kenji went over to Usagi.
"Hello Usagi. Want to go out?"
Kenji, her father asked.
"Sure."
She replied. He picked her up from the couch and put her in
his arms. Ami had gone to Usagi's house earlier and picked out some
nice clothes. She had on a matching blue blouse and skirt set. She
was wearing long light blue pantyhose that came up to just below
her knees. She was also wearing light blue high heel shoes.
Ami had helped Usagi dress earlier, because Usagi was in a weakened
state. Usagi's blouse and skirt set was made of cotton. Usagi looked
very beautiful.
"Usagi, you look very beautiful."
Kenji told her.
"Thank you."
Usagi replied. Kenji took his daughter and they left. They went to
the water front where they could watch all the boats came and go.
They watched surfers surf.
"Please set ne down."
Usagi requested. Kenji set her down. She leaned next her father for
support. Shingo watched Usagi with great interest. Shingo decided
never to pick on her again. Suddenly it got a little windy and a new
monster appeared. It was Chaos Monkey.
"I'll have all of your energy."
Chaos Monkey told them with determination.
"I don't think so! Moon Eternal! Make Up!"
Usagi cried and then she transformed into Eternal Sailor Moon.
"Families are special! You are trying to ruin the special
balance between them! I won't forgive you! I am the pretty
suited sailor soldier Eternal Sailor Moon, in the place of
the moon I'll punish you!"
Eternal Sailor Moon told the monster.
"Nice words! But they are only words! Monkey Power!"
Chaos Monkey told her then he sent bananas at Eternal Sailor
Moon tried to dodge them. Then she made her rod appear.
"Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!"
She cried as her power came out of her rod and hit Chaos Monkey.
He was injured with burn marks on him.
"Please let this work! Cosmos Power!"
Eternal Sailor Moon cried as the Eternal brooch transformed into
the Cosmos brooch.
"Cosmos Moon Power! Make Up!"
Eternal Sailor Moon cried as she transformed. Her body suit appeared
first. It was followed by the gloves and then the boots. And finally
the skirt and the earrings and a star on her forehead with a
crescent moon. Then the Eternal Rod transformed into the Cosmos
Staff. Now she was Sailor Cosmos.
"Cosmos Wave, encircle!"
Sailor Cosmos cried out using her staff in front of her in a circle.
The she put an X in the circle and the circle went flying towards
Chaos Monkey destroying it and turning it into silver dust.
"Usagi! Great job!"
Her mother congratulated her. The Cosmos power was too much for her!
Sailro Cosmos retransformed back into Eternal Sailor Moon and then
back into Usagi. Usagi fainted.
"You did great. I am proud to have a daughter as a super hero. Rest
on Usagi."
Kenji, her father told her. They continued to look at the water for
the rest of the day. It would be a day they would never forget. The
Final Phase is coming around the corner!
