Chapter 10: The demon's daughter

Rei was crying in her room, she couldn't stop repeating "a monster, a monster."

She tried to stop her past from coming back but it came little by little, queen Selenity smiling at her, playing with Serenity, her first meeting with the outers, the inners, with Arius and later with Endymion, the death of her friends, her own death… All those painful and beautiful memories were hitting her like daggers. It was too much!

She went to the forest to train to stop the flow. During hours she punched and kicked not even noticing her injuries pushing herself at her max. She had to get ride of those memories. The guilt wouldn't leave her. Her mother had killed her friends, destroyed the Moon Kingdom and was about to destroy earth. 'What a lineage I have! A demon Queen as mother and my...father I have to think of something else! I'll become nut if I continue! The others will hate me! How could they care about something like me? I could very well kill them.' She fell on her knees, giving up and sobbing. "I….I'm a monster…All that pain, all that it's because of me. The girls were hurt because of me! I'm a demon! I don't have the right to live. But I promise you something Arius, I won't give up before killing you Aruis! No! I'll never be weak! Never! I'll destroy you Arius I'll destroy you!'

"Where did she go?" asked a rather disturbed senshi of wind "The bike is here but obviously she's not in the temple!"

"Calm down Ruka-chan it won't help us!"

"But Michi-chan! She needs us! You saw the state she was in when she left! She could do something stupid!"

"Give her a little more credit Haruka! She's only need a little time to sort out her feelings." Replied Michiru trying to block out her lover's disturbing thoughts

"But if she tries to…"

"That's enough!" cried the senshi of time losing for the first time her composure. Then she calmed herself and sjghed "She'll come back here Ruka-chan. I know you care for her as we all do but for now we have to wait" said Setsuna "If I asked the Inners and starlight not to pressure her it's to give her peace. She'll need it. You know she's having a really hard time with her memories and all."

"Setsuna-Mama is right, I have faith in her. She's not weak; she'll come out of it and then we'll be here for her, not matter what. We'll show her that no matter what we'll lover her. "

"I know, sorry. But it's just that I really care for my little pyro and I'm worried"

"As we are Ruka-chan, but we'll be here when she'll need us." Replied Michiru stroking confortfuly her back

Setsuna sighed in relief. 'That went better than with the others…' She thoughed about the discussion they had with the others senshis, it was rather heated. All wanted to see Rei, to run after her. Neither understood that she needed to be alone. 'She's without any doubt the most powerful being in all dimensions. Daughter of a demon queen and a warrior king. Such a power always has consequences. Even if I cannot see the future anymore I know that she'll have a lot of heartache… She'll need me and I promise by Cronos and Pluto that I'll never leave her whatever happens in the future I'll be there for her.'

"I'll stay here to speak to her. You come back to the mansion."

"But!"

"There's no buts Ruka she doesn't need all of us fusing around her. Beside you need to rest."

Haruka was about to argue another time when Hotaru stopped her.

"Ruka-papa, Suna-mama is right. If she saw all of us here she'll be scared."

"Scared! Taru-chan, she can't be scared of us!"

"You don't know how she feels, but I can imagine…She think that everybody will hate her and fear her because of her power…I felt it too Haruka-papa." Hotaru now was teary eyed "she thinks that nobody can love her because of her power of destruction, because she's bad…"

"Hotaru-chan, she's not" said Michiru pulling her daughter in her arms "and you aren't either and we love you with all we have."

"I know that Michiru-Mama but I took me time to understand…"

"Shh…Taru-chan don't cry my baby, I love you little one."

"We all love you Taru-chan."

"I love you too mamas and papa. And I love Rei-neesan too. Please give her time to understand. Calm and peace. At least for tonight, please. She'll have so much to face"

"They're right Ruka-chan. We'll be there first thing in the morning okay? Call us if you need anything Suna-chan. And tell her that we love her and we'll be here for her"

"Ok, see you later."

In the starlight mansion

"Who does she think she is! They can't stop us from seeing her!"

"Calm down Seiya, Pluto only wants to protect her…"

"But, she needs us! Did you saw in witch state she was! She was completely lost and confused!"

"Now is not the right time to see her, as you said she was confused and her guardians will help her, we would only scare her more" Princess Kaiyku stood up and stopped the passing senshi with a comforting hand on her shoulder "You have to understand the situation, Seiya, she just understood that a part of her is something that she always fought against and despised. That her own mother was responsible for the deaths of thousands…"

"Yeah and don't forget one thing" interrupted Yaten "She could kill thousands too. It's cute to be worried about her but don't forget what she is: a demon, a treat for Humanity."

"How dare you!" shouted Seiya ready to beat the crap out of his friend when Taiki stopped him

"Even if what Yaten is saying is a little harsh he isn't totally wrong. She could be a treat for the Universe even greater than Chaos."

"And you, are you forgetting that her and the Inners gave their lives for us and their princess without a second thought? Did you forget that!"

"I know that she is a good person now but what worries me is the future, it's if the enemy brainwashed her or if she simply snapped or something we wouldn't be able to stop her. I think that…"

"Taiki-kun, you're too much speculating. Yes there's dark in her and yes she could destroy everything but everyone as darkness in them even you or me. It wouldn't be fair to condemn her because of what ifs. I'll speak with her and we'll see what will happen. There's nothing else we can do."

"But princess you know that…"

"I know Yaten-kun. I'll call a meeting with Serenity and the Inners tomorrow and we'll see what they think about the matter. But for now we wait and see what happens."

"Princess I'll come with you."

"No Seiya-kun. I know you appreciate her but for now you stay away. At least till I speak with her alone."

Rei came back at the temple several hours later. She was covered with blood and bruises. She entered her room without a sound wincing at how sore she was. She needed to clean herself and heal her injuries or her ojiichan would flip. She didn't expect to see Usagi waiting for her. The moon princess gasped when she saw her friend condition.

"Rei-chan what happened? Were you attacked? Why didn't you call us?"

"I wasn't attacked Usagi, I was training, I forced myself a little."

"A little! You're covered with blood! Let me clean your cuts."

She tried to lead Rei to her bed but the fire senshi resisted.

"I don't need your help, I'll heal myself."

"What? ...Oh yes it's true you can heal. I have forgotten."

Rei processed healing herself while Usagi was looking at her. She was making her nervous. Was she here to pronounce the senshi's sentence? After all she was a treat. Enable to bear the silence any longer, she snapped.

"What the hell do you want Usagi?"

"Did you remember all your past…our past?" asked Usagi in a quite tone. Rei looked away

"I don't want to speak about it."

"You know we have to."

"I know..." she sighed defeated "I remember all my past. It's...it's difficult to speak about it…Besides there's not a lot to say. My mother was Beryl, my father, well, a warrior king from another planet. My mother tried to kill me but as you can see she failed…Too bad. Do you want to know something else?"

"Rei-chan, don't speak like this!"

"LIKE WHAT? Now you can see why I'm so mean with you, after all I'm half a demon. You should kill me when you have the opportunity!"

"Rei-chan, you're not mean just hot tempered, I love you Rei-chan how could I hurt you? you're my friend, no…" she smiled sadly "my sister."

"No I'm not! We're not blood related. When you'll remember all of this shit you won't say that anymore. My mother killed your friends, mother and lover. I'm like a bomb I could snap and kill everybody! How can you forgive that!"

"Because as you say it was your mother not you. You're one of my senshi, I know you…"

"You know nothing! I…I could have done that too I didn't have the chance but I had the power to do so. Kuso, I was a treat for my own mother!"

"But my mom loved you" Usagi was now crying, looking helplessly at her friend emotionless eyes.

"Lies! She feared me and my power, don't speak about something you don't remember! Wait till you do! She couldn't kill me so to control me she made me a senshi protector of her only daughter. I…I lost so much because of you, your mother and mine, so much, in this life and in the other…"

"Rei-chan, I'm sorry, I never…"

"Leave me alone please, I need some time alone or I'll do things I'll regret all my life."

"I…"

"Please, Serenity-Hime"

"Rei-chan…" replied Usagi tearing up when she sensed the gap Rei was building between them by using her title but she recovered forcing back the tears "I'll leave Rei-chan but you have to know something, we love you, all of us, and you have us. If you need us we'll be there."

Usagi left silently the shrine.

After a long shower Rei was feeling a little better, she was beginning to sort out her past. She really didn't have the choice. She wanted to meditate when she heard a knock.

"Who is it?"

"It's Kayiku, can I come in?"

'Oh no! Can't they leave me in peace!' she sighed trying to calm her temper "Yeah, come in."

Kayiku entered her room.

"How are you feeling Eternity."

Rei snorted "You're the first one to call me that."

"Well it's your true name, isn't it?"

"Yeah I suppose, so what do you want?"

"I was worried about you and the starlights too Seiya the most" she chuckled. "I think he likes you."

"Is that all? As you see I'm fine, all I want right now is meditating behind the fire."

"Eternity hime, I know it's difficult for you right now, but don't forget that there are people who love you here, who are worried."

"They don't need to, I'm fine. Don't worry, I won't enter in a killing rampage" snapped Rei

"Did you recover your memories?" asked the princess ignoring on purpose her comment

"Yes… but I would have rather not."

"Arius wants you." She stated simply

"I know but don't worry I don't plan to join forces with him even if I'm a monster."

"I know" she smiled "and you're not a monster. You have a lot of power to make good."

"And a lot of power to destroy."

"The two of us know very well that if you wanted you could have already cause damage to this world. True?"

Rei snorted "If you say so."

"I've decided to call a senshi meeting tomorrow morning with the inners, you and the outers can come if you want."

"Want to gauge the treat?"

"No, I want to prevent unnecessary tensions between allies."

"If you say so… I won't be coming. You will be more at ease if I'm not there and I don't like the idea of being here to listen people diciding of my future but I'll call the outers to tell them. Thanks for telling me."

"Ill be going now…" before she left she looked at Rei a last time "You are the equilibrium between good and evil, you'll choose your destiny alone without pressuring…Listen to your heart Princess, it won't lie to you."

For the first time since her transformation Rei smiled geniumly.

"Thanks Kayiku-san and say hi to the guys for me. You helped me a lot."

"No problem Eternity-chan, take care

Kayiku left the shrine hoping that she had helped her new friend and prevented a tragedy.

Rei stood there looking at Kayiku retreating form when she decided to speak.

"Suna-chan why don't you come in? You know it's bad to spy."

Setsuna chuckled.

"You spotted me a long time ago so don't call it spying."

"True, I sensed your energy when I was training. So what brings you here?"

"As everybody I was worried. The others wanted to see you too but I ask them to leave you alone tonight but I see that Serenity and Kaiyku couldn't stay away."

"Yeah so much for being alone… You heard what she said about the meeting…"

"You want us to go?"

"You're free to go if you want."

"Okay. Hotaru is taking everything pretty badly; she's really worried and hurt."

"Oh, because of the mistress nine thing…"

"Yes, she loves you dearly and doesn't want to see you suffer."

"She shouldn't worry for me, my little firefly…" said Rei with a lot of tenderness in her voice

"You'll always have us you know that, doesn't you?"

"Yes Suna-chan, I know. Thanks for being here for me."

"No problem and I thought it was better for you to see me than Ruka-chan, she probably would have put you in one of her infamous bear hug and you could have suffocated."

"True, she'll kill somebody one day with that! It could be a good attack against youmas!"

The two began laughing imagining a 'poor' youma in the receiving end of on,e of those hugs. But then, Setsuna became serious abording a topic that was avoided till then.

"Rei-chan do you remember all the happenings in the Silver Millennium? With Serenity and Endymion, I mean."

Rei face sobered up

"Yeah, it's still a little confusing, but I think I remember all of it at least the most important stuff. It won't be easy to face him. But I think I made the right choice back then even if…" she trailed of.

"He'll remember soon probably tonight or tomorrow, I can sense it. Be prepared to face him. He won't appreciate the fact you manipulated him back then."

"I know but it hurt me too. It was the best for the kingdom and for Serenity, I couldn't do that to her. It was his destiny, our destiny. Sometimes you have to forget your own well being for a better good."

"I'll give you an advice: tell him everything, it's the best. Lying or hiding the true will only hurt more than anything."

I think I need to be alone Suna-chan to meditate about that."

Setsuna hugged her friend

"Okay, be careful and if you need me call me."

"I'll do it. Bye Suna-chan and I'll come to the mansion tomorrow; I think we need to have a talk"

"Okay we'll stay there tomorrow so you can come by whenever you want to."

Rei headed to the fire room she needed to meditate alone. After a few minutes images flashed in the fire. Images of the Silver Millennium…Of a couple waltzing in a garden.

'Shit, I have to take that of my mind. Calm down Rei'

Now it was the same couple kissing in the grass.

'Snap out of it!'

Mamoru jumped in his bed.

"What was that! Me and… It can't be!"

An image appeared in his mind, he was kissing a woman in the grass during the Silver Millennium.

"Oh my god" was all he could say before he drifted in memories.

Next chapter will be ready really soon, I only have to change one or two things in it and then post it so It'll be updated next week. It will be a flashback chapter explaining a lot of stuff. Review please.
