A/N: I'm sorry guys, for not updating sooner. I got caught up in wonderous Draco/Harry fanfiction. -sigh- Not much of an excuse I know, but I promise to try and get the next chapter out faster.
Chapter 3 (Sunday)
Usagi stood up when the doorbell rang. She looked through the peephole and was startled to see Rei's eye glaring at her. Usagi's eye twitched. What the hell are they doing here? She sighed and opened the door only to be shocked out of her mind.
Rei stormed in and grabbed her by the neck. "You walked about before we could talk…,"she began in a sickly sweet tone, then immediately shifted to a more hostile one. "I'm going to say this once and only once. Give us the crystal now and renounce your leadership or the world will be short one Sailor Odango Atama."
Usagi laughed bitterly, "Is that all? I was expecting you to ask for the world wrapped in a pretty pink box with ribbons. Well there you go then." She shifted as Rei loosened her grip. Rei didn't expect to be kicked in the face.
"Usagi Tsukino, what are you doing? You just assaulted one of your guardians! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Makoto shouted.
Her eye twitched. She laughed again in that condescending way and muttered to herself, "I should have expected as much…"
Suddenly her entire pose and voice changed to a harsh cold regal one, "You will leave my home and never come back again. If I see any of you near me again, I will not hesitate to take away all of your powers," She smirked, "I bet no one ever told you I could do that."
The senshi were so shocked that they left without a fuss, except Rei who was still on the ground. Usagi stalked over to her and slapped her.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Rei shrieked.
"Get your pathetic self off my property before I call the police."
"Excuse me? Are you ordering me around? You can't do that! I AM THE LEADER!"
"Do you presume to disobey my orders, Sailor Mars? Do you forget that I am your princess and you are simply guards? Do not anger me Rei Hino, I am more than you think." And with that Usagi backhanded her and threw her unconscious body into the hall.
Well, I'm glad that trash is out of my hands. (A/N: Wow Usagi's different. I bet you guys never expected that one!) I'm glad Momma made me take karate all these years. She sighed. Now what? Might as well go into Harajuku. I'll be able to get some new design ideas.
She snapped her fingers once and her appearance changed. No longer the slightly dumpy little girl, she was anorexically (word?) thin. In first meeting Rei, the girl had called her fat when she had finished her usual order from the Crown Arcade. She had been so deep in depression then that she fell quite easily into an eating disorder. The only reason she was clumsy was because she frequently got dizzy and thus fell down. The remains from those painful 2 years were still showing and though she was healing, Usagi hadn't gained very much weight at all. Her waist length hime-cut styled hair (basically, the front is cut a lot shorter than the back), by the magic of her lunarian descent, had retained it's shine, but was no longer blonde, it was in the deep black that appears to have purple blue highlights in the light. The vapid cerulean blue of her eyes became a steely gray that didn't show any of the old cheerfulness. She pulled on a black princess Angelic Pretty skirt with a petticoat and bloomers and then stopped trying to think of a blouse to wear. She decided on a white sailor styled cut sew with black details. She picked up an Alice in Wonderland tote bag and parasol on her way out of her bedroom door. She stopped at the full length mirror in her hallway. She pulled up her white stockings and slipped on her mock ballet flats.
She jumped on the bus from the stop closest to her house. In passing she saw a familiar black haired girl making out with a familiar black haired boy. Assholes.
She got off the bus at the Harajuku stop and looked around the square. She spotted, on a bridge, a perfect picture. A girl was sitting, looking up at the clouds smiling slightly. Usagi quickly grabbed her camera and snapped a shot. Perfect…
"USA! What's up chica?" It was her best friend Melissa. She was originally from the United States but had moved to Japan for high school. She had the punk look to her so seeing them together was interesting.
"Hey Lissy, how have you been?" Usagi grinned. Melissa was the only one that knew all of her secrets. She had been the only one to try and get past Usagi's icy exterior in their first year.
"Not much, just hanging about. I'm rather bored actually. GLB isn't photographing today so I was just heading home."
"Lissy, I've decided to take NYU's offer. I'm going to the States. Actually… I'm leaving in six days."
"REALLY? Cause… I wasn't planning on telling you this until later… but I'm going back to the States as well… I was going to leave later on in the month but… since you're going to NYU too…"
"YOU'RE GOING THERE TOO?" Usagi jumped for joy. She was leaving the senshi and her best friend was going to the same university has her.
"Hey doll, I was wondering… I was planning on having a little get together of our crew, to say goodbye and stuff… How about we make it a full out party? I was going to have it in my dinky place but now… can we have it in your flat?" Melissa used her puppy dog eyes.
Usagi laughed, "Absolutely Lissy, I need to say goodbye to everyone anyways."
"Erm… well good… because I was planning on having it tomorrow night…"
"LISSY!"
"I'm sorry Usa… but…" She grinned knowing Usagi would forgive her."
Usagi sighed, "The things I do for you Lissy…"
Melissa grinned and they walked off arm in arm to plan the party.
Cut to tomorrow night party… (A/N: Yeah I know, nothing interesting. So that's why I cut it out. )
Usagi, wearing a black wife beater with a Dark Wonderland image on it under a Pour Lolita sweatshirt and a black skirt with fruit designs on it, was kneeling on the ground in front of her couch between Melissa's legs. Lissa was wearing a black skirt with the legs attached, a blouse with a ruff, black fingerless fishnet arm warmers, and a mini top hat.
"I'm gonna miss you Usa, Lissa, you two were my best friends" Ayame, wearing a tight white shirt and camo capris, was crying. She was one of their closest friends, having met in sophomore year and becoming closer in the past two years. She gave Usagi a set of poems by Emily Dickinson, and gave Melissa Marilyn Manson's latest CD.
"Usa, Lissa, now what's going to happen to the Terrific Trio terrorizing the GLB photographers? Can you even get it in the US? Well no matter…" Kagame laughed, giving them a hug. She gave them both a five year subscription to the Gothic and Lolita bible. They both shrieked and tackled her. She was wearing a white blouse with a red skirt with card suit designs on it.
"I know you guys are going to miss Shinjuku so I got you some stuff…," Umikaze, wearing a white cut sew top with a red heart on it over a white blouse and a black skirt with a cake design, grinned and handed over a huge bag to Melissa with an h.NAOTO white deconstructed top with lacing all over, a black lacey skirt with safety pins attached randomly, a black tie with a cross, black arm warmers with random writing on them, and a black bag with random writing. She gave an equally large bag to Usagi with a BTSSB pink cut sew with random darker pink writing on it, a dark pink skirt with an Alice print, a pair of plain white stockings with lace garters, and a pink bag with Alice print. They both ran around the room screaming before jumping on her.
The doorbell rang and Usagi got up shoving the pile of wrapping paper and tissue paper off of her lap. She straightened her outfit in the hall mirror and opened the door extremely surprised to see Mamorou with Rei attached to his arm. She was wearing a black halter top so tight that it left nothing to the imagination and a micro miniskirt.
"Where's Usagi," Mamorou drawled.
Usagi tried to slam the door shut, very surprised when Mamorou pushed the door open. She growled.
Melissa sauntered over, giving the both of them a look over. She laid her arm around Usagi's shoulders and smirked, "What do you want?"
"We are here to see Usagi, where's the stupid bitch?"
Melissa didn't hesitate to punch Mamorou in the face, causing him to bleed all over his ugly green jacket. She grinned wider. Rei shivered. The girl was scary. Decked out in punk clothing and wearing thick black eyeliner and lipstick, the girl was terrifying.
Melissa leered, "Not so confident now, are ya Bitch?"
Rei stuttered, "W-where is Usagi?"
Should I tell them… Is it too early? Ah, what the hell, I'm leaving in a few days, no harm.
"I am Usagi, imbecile, now get the hell out of my house. I've told you once and I'm telling you again. Get out or I will not hesitate to beat the crap out of you."
"What the hell, Usagi's a blonde."
"Tch, shows how much you know."
Mamorou stood up, having controlled his urge to pass out, and stupidly insulted her again, "Hey Usagi, what's this party? Forgotten when your birthday is?"
Usagi glared at him but didn't say anything. I will not shout, I will not rip his head off, I am calm, I am at peace.
Rei built up her confidence, having her boyfriend back standing, "Usagi, I see one of your friends is valedictorian, did she help you not fail high school?" She cackled.
Usagi's anger flared up, "You obviously know nothing about me. This party," she said, gesturing around her, "is for Melissa and I, who are leaving for COLLEGE. I graduated valedictorian of my class, of which is comprised of the smartest students in Japan. Do you really think I'm an idiot Hino. I've been taking karate since I was 3, do you think I can't hurt you? I have more powers than you could even imagine." She laughed cynically.
Melissa stood behind her and massaged her shoulders, "Usa, darling, calm down, it's just a few little kids, they don't know any better…"
"You're right Lissa. I let my anger take control again," She breathed in deeply and exhaled, "You will leave my home and never return. I will not take your powers this time, for I think you have gotten all you can handle today. If I see your ugly faces ever again, do not think that I will not hurt you." She accentuated this by simply snapping her fingers, and they were thrown into the hallway with a psychic blow. She smiled
"DON'T THINK YOU'VE SEEN THE LAST OF US TSUKINO!"
They could hear Rei shrieking as she went down the hall. Usagi could barely contain her laughter.
A/N: So, how was this chapter?
TsukinoGoddess: heehee, can't tell ya, it's a secret. I'm not sure at this point whether I want to have a pairing, but if I do I think it'll be a surprise :) The bad news was basically everything that had happened, but mostly about the baby.
Eternal Moon Power: Does this chapter explain how the senshi will find out? Mr. Stupidhead and Ms. Arsemunch will tell them.
