Chapter 11   

By MG           

Don't own sm…

Usagi smiled as she walked up the steps that led to the porch of the small house. It was time to check on her friends. Brightening her eyes and gathering her calm and courteous composure, she knocked on the door; a few minutes later, someone answered.

"Usagi!" Nephrite exclaimed. "How are you?"

"Bright as ever Nephrite." She replied with a smile.

"Come in, come in." He said happily as he escorted her into the house.

~*~

"You want anything?" Nephrite asked her as she sat down on one of the sofas in the den.

"Some herbal tea would be nice." She turned her attention towards Jadeite. "So what have I missed?" She asked with a pleasant smile. As soon as she entered the house she had known it, and oddly, smelt it even.

Rei was pregnant.

"Well, Usa..." Jadeite paused for effect. "Rei's pregnant." If his smile got any brighter she thought she would get sick.

"Really?" She replied as more of a statement than a question. "How many months?" That insufferable little bitch...

"Well...I-I'm not sure actually." He replied. "But she's supposed to go to the doctor soon to get a check up."

"You don't seem too excited." She replied truthfully.

"I'm happy for her, for us...I've always wanted to have a baby...but times right now are so rough with the business of the Angel of Light and such that I fear for her safety and the safety of our child."

"I see your concern." She paused. "I am have concerns of my own...after all I must look after my friend who is still in hiding...I had originally come so that you may tell me if you are yet to discover anything new?"

"Well...nothing that would benefit your friend." He replied solemnly.

"I see." She replied; a brief paused following thereafter until Jadeite broke it by speaking once more.

"So how's life been treating you?" Jadeite asked her, quickly changing the subject to a brighter one. "You find that lucky man yet?"

"No...but so much the better because I don't believe in marriage anyway." She said insolently. "For me that is..." She paused, a menacing laughter echoing through her heart before she continued with the next line. "But I'm sure Rei and you with be together for a life time and grow older together...same as Nephrite and Makoto." She finished.

"Here's your tea Usagi." Nephrite placed the small cup before her on the old mahogany table.

"Yeah...forever." Jadeite said softly; a sudden retained feeling overcoming him. A brief pause followed before she spoke again.

"So where is Rei and Mako anyhow?" She continued with an almost triumphant grin.

"They're coming...Mako was in the back and Rei was sleeping...but as soon as I knew you were here, I alarmed them to your presence...they should be coming in shortly." Nephrite interceded.

"You didn't have to wake her." Usagi replied with a small smile. Like I wanna see that bitch right now anyway.  She paused to take a breath. Oh shit!  The next few moments seemed to elapse slowly, as if time was purposely twisting itself to anger her. Both Rei and Makoto had walked in quietly and called out a greeting that was unheard. A nauseated feeling began to overwhelm her being as Usagi at once came to terms with the gem that lay calmly over Rei's chest. It flashed quickly, almost to quick for the eye to see; any trained vampire would have noticed, but she knew Rei was new to her roots and would not be able to detect it. Had she not been who she was, it would have continuously glowed and alarmed those around her. But as soon as it began, she ceased it with her mind; she wasn't as quick as light when it came to her powers, but almost as fast, and none of the party she currently entertained had noticed it. However, the powers she had to utilize to sustain the binding of the gem were giving her a splitting headache, which was subtly turning into a migraine. Not to mention that even though she managed to swathe the glowing with her powers, the gem's power could not be stopped, and it was slowly draining her. With an abruptness that startled the group, she stood up, her head slightly dizzy and increasing in pain. She gritted her teeth inwardly and plastered on a fake smile.

"I...I have to go." She announced as she began walking to the other side of the room to get away from the gem's intensity.

"Usa you don't look to well...are you all right?" The voice sounded distant, but even then she knew it was the taunting voice of Rei; or so it seemed to taunt her.

"Yes I'm fine...just not feeling too well...I'd better get home." She replied softly.  Get home...a feat that seemed very complex without giving herself away, especially since Rei was standing at the archway that was the only exit from the room. Gathering her strength, she walked briskly passed Rei, almost collapsing, and to the front door. "I'll see you guys later ok?" She said blandly before opening the door and shutting it behind her.

"What was that all about?" Rei asked quietly as she looked to Jadeite and Nephrite.

"Beats me." Nephrite shrugged.  Jadeite remained quiet.

"Jed, sweetie, do you know what happened?" She asked softly.

"I need to go get some fresh air." He replied before walking briskly by Rei, giving her the cold shoulder, and walking to the lake and nature of the backyard.

~*~

As soon as Usagi was in her car she felt better, the nausea and head pains clearing up. She muttered curses as she put her Shelby in gear, backed out the driveway, and then sped away.

The further she was away from the house, the more upset she got, and the higher she sped; she was 30 minutes away from her mansion when she had shifted the gears a final time and reached a speed of 180mph on the long open road. Her hatred for Rei had now increased tenfold as she thought one thought in her head repeatedly.

Not only is that bitch pregnant...but she has what I have been searching for all my life...the family heirloom...

~*~

"So what do you think we should do?" Minako sighed as she lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"She's stronger than any vampire I have ever seen before, not even Great Grandfather was that strong..." He paused. "I should have been able to sense who she was from the start...but yet she was able to hide it from me." His fingers lightly combed through her hair. "I don't know where to begin."

"Robert...you realize that you are her only surviving relative, don't you?"

"Yes...I know." He replied calmly. "But I don't want her to know that just yet...there is a lot that we must do, a lot that has now fallen upon my hands."

"I don't understand."

"We have to complete what Charles and Olivia set out to do...but we have to do it right."

~*~

"Mmmm...Endymion." A soft voice murmured into the night. "I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise?" He asked darkly as his lips continued to move up and down her neck, their lower bodies moving slowly in tune. "What kind of surprise?" His lips went lower down her body, eliciting moans from her.

"I found out something important." She told him softly, causing him to lift his head from its previous position, even still moving within her.

"What? What happened?" He asked anxiously as he continuously moved within her, their lips inches apart.

" I'm pregnant." She cried softly to him in happiness.

"Are you sure…I-I—this is not a dream?" He arched his brow.

"It's not a dream." She giggled as the light from the furnace played across their entwined bodies.

"Alyssa...we're going to finally have a family." He whispered joyously.

"I know..." She giggled. "Can you imagine...to have little pups running around us..."

"You've made me so happy..." He said as his lips gently rubbed against hers, sliding from side to side. "Tomorrow...we're going to take a vacation in my private cottage...just you and me." He finished as he darted his tongue across her lips, coating them.

"But what about your business in England?"

"Business can wait." He grounded out hoarsely as his lips captured hers, teasing her tongue and pulling back before seeking her throat.

"But Endy..." She prodded lightly. "That's an important client...look sweetie...the cottage can wait." She said seriously, causing him to cease his movements, as he looked her eye to eye. "Just as long as after you come back...you promise to whisk me away for a whole week and not just a weekend." She smiled.

"Are you sure...I mean, I think that my officials can take care of this without me." He replied seriously.

"Baby I love you." She began. "And I understand...don't worry, I'll be here when you get back." She smiled.

"I don't deserve you." He replied huskily.

"Of course you don't." She giggled. He laughed as he switched their positions and flipped over on his back, his hands sliding to her small waist. She smiled sensually at him as he helped her move above him, the sounds of only lovemaking filling the room once more.

~*~

Mamoru's eyes shot open to acknowledge the other presence in the room.

"What happened?" Malachite asked him as he glanced at the bottle that he was hugging close to his chest. His appearance was very gruff, it was obvious that he hadn't shaved in days, and his hair was a mess. Malachite sighed as he closed the door behind him.

"Can't a man want to get away from it all without someone thinking something's wrong?"

"Endymion, you pride yourself on the fact that you are not the type of man who wastes away, and yet here you are." He sat down on the chair opposite him. "Something has to be really wrong for you to come all the way here and do this to yourself." He glanced around the medium sized cottage; despite the décor and how ancient it looked, it was pretty well kept.

"For goodness sake Malachite." He countered angrily as he brought the bottle to his lips and swindled a bit of it. "I'm fine...I don't see why I can't be left alone…I am not a child." He threw the empty bottle against the wall above the mantle; it crashed into pieces. "You know it's funny..." He began, his mood changing to an ironic happiness. "I've fucked up more woman's lives than I can count...and finally...the one woman I wouldn't have minded to keep around, is gonna fuck me up." He laughed maniacally.

"What are you talking about?" Malachite asked, feigning innocence.

"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" He replied with a wide grin. "Usagi's the Bitch of the Vampires." He ended bitterly.

"What?"

"Yeah...and now she wants to have my baby." He rolled his eyes and continued with a light smile that clashed violently with the anger in his eyes. "Ha...well, fuck her...she says she's tasted my blood already...well now that bitch is gonna know what real pain is." He continued darkly. "Every full moon her body's gonna have a reaction that wills her to change...unfortunately for our little bitch queen, she doesn't know how." He continued with a smile.

"I don't understand…"

"Being a werewolf can be a real pain in the ass if you don't know how to transform…and transforming is not something that comes naturally, you have to be taught…if you can't get the proper training, then you have to endure the most excruciating pain ever when the full moon's light is upon you…"

"But how is it you manage to withhold from changing on a full moon?"

"I don't know…I just woke up one day knowing how without knowing how I had even acquired the knowledge."

"So, what will happen to her?" Malachite asked confused. There were still so many things that he did not know about his friend's blood.

"Well, she'll be in pain the whole night, for as long as the moon is in the sky." He began darkly. "And as long as she doesn't change, the pain and ailments will increase..." He stood up and walked to the fire, starring at it with such intensity that Malachite wasn't sure which was fiercer, the fire or his eyes. "I was supposed to take Alyssa here." He said calmly, his mood changing suddenly. "She was my mate for life."

"I thought only vampires searched for mates for life?" Malachite arched his brow.

"On the contrary, true blooded werewolves do as well...once you mate with another female werewolf, unless she dies, she becomes your mate for life." He paused. "Even if she doesn't have your child."

"Usagi is part werewolf now." Malachite commented. "Are you saying that once you mate with her again...that she will become your mate for life?" He asked surprised.

"No...I'm saying that she already is my fucking mate for life." He replied as he sat down and rested his arm on the shoulder of the chaise. "I may not love her...but even without her powers of persuasion I wouldn't be able to resist her." He paused for a moment before continuing. "Damn her...not only can I not resist her...but now the thought of being with other women makes me-" The words 'sick' were left unsaid as a terrible pain shot up his head. With a cry of frustration he grabbed at his hair, clenched his teeth, and shut his eyes.

Images of him and Usagi filled his head.

Images of them making love on his bed, her body arching towards him, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist as he entered her repeatedly at a fast rate. Her hands were clutched tightly to his back, her fingers digging painfully into his sides, allowing him to take her to the heights of passion and back.

With a howl he stood up quickly; the images were being to affect his state of mind. All he could think about was her; all he seemed to care about was having her right now.

"What's wrong?" Malachite asked, quickly standing up to help him.

"She's-she's...c-calling me," He stuttered quickly, the words barely a murmur on his lips.

"Who? What?" Malachite asked confused as he approached him.

"Get away from me!" He screamed as he walked to the door, picking his coat off the rack. He quickly left the cabin, the door slamming behind him.

~*~

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?" She asked as she approached where he stood at the bank, overlooking the lake in silence.

"I just need some time to think alone ok." He replied coolly.

"What's going on with you...did I do something wrong?"

"Can't a man have some peace without constantly being interrogated?"

"I don't know what happened Jadeite...but I don't think it's fair of you to just turn me away like this...I deserve to know!" She cried out angrily, clenching her fists to her sides.

"Just because you're my wife doesn't entitle you to know what I'm thinking every fucking minute of every fucking day alright?" He turned with finality to look at her. The sight that greeted him was not expected. Her eyes were wet, tears threatening to escape. He suddenly understood just how much his behavior was affecting her; his wife was a strong willed woman and she rarely cried.

"You know...you told me that you wouldn't let anything happen to me." She began hoarsely, as one tear managed to escape. "I thought...I thought you would protect me from harm...but-but it seems right now the only person that I need protection from...is you." She turned on her heels to walk away from him; he caught her arm easily, willing her not to leave him.

"Rei wait!" He pulled her quickly into his arms. She was alarmed when he buried his head into his hair and rested on her for support, breathing in the scent of her hair. He clutched her waist tightly, and she retaliated by placing her arms around him. "I'm sorry I yelled at you...I just...you don't know what it feels like to..." He stopped mid-sentence. Could he possibly tell her what he discovered? It would tear her apart.

"Jed...what's wrong?" She asked him softly.

"It...it's nothing...I...we should go inside." He stuttered hastily to change the subject.

"No." She said firmly. "No secrets...not now Jed...there's too much going on right now for us to be keeping anything from one another." She paused. "If you love me...you'll tell me what's wrong." She ended firmly.

"Sometimes the truth can hurt...it's better for me not to say anything at all." He began, his eyes diverting her own. "It would be worse for us if I told you than if I had to bare this alone."

"Jadeite...when you married me...did you intend to bare the harsh things alone...I...I thought we were a pair...happy together...sad together...angry together...and mournful together." She continued. "So many things are going on right now...keeping secrets will only make things worse...I...we have to be strong together as well." She finished.

There was a moment of silence before he lightly placed his forehead against hers. He brought his fingers up to her face and wiped her tears away with his thumbs before heaving a deep breath and speaking once more.

"I'll tell you." He submitted.

~*~

"Did you take care of our friends?" She asked him nonchalantly.

"Yes, just as you asked." Diamond replied immediately. "But Serenity...what of our detective friends...they are becoming a little too inquisitive of the situation."

"Leave them to me...I have my own plans for them." She replied.

"And the fighters?" He continued. "It is no longer safe for you to continue your visits there, I would recommend that you cease and desist your highness."

"I'm glad you're concerned, but do not worry yourself over it." She replied. "Your first orders are to send a group of men and annihilate the gypsies in the alpha sector...I do not wish for you to kill them all, just enough damage to attract attention and to strike fear into their eyes." She paused. "Then while they are being attacked, I want you to take two guards and proceed with plan Beta." She continued. "Plan Beta is very important, do not fail me Diamond or you shall suffer the fates of the ones before you."

"Yes Serenity...I shall send my brother Saffir to the gypsy sector...I know he will not fail."

"Saffir...an excellent choice..." She replied. There was a pause before he spoke once more.

"Serenity..." He began.

"I do not know why I choose him..." She interrupted, already reading his mind and knowing what he would ask. "But do not worry yourself over it...I see him as nothing more than an assurance of reaching my goal." She finished.

"And what of-"

"After I am assured of Plan Beta's success, then we shall look for the ultimate treasure...that is all you need to know." She finished sharply, interrupting his thoughts. "After you leave me, head to the forth floor and begin the training for the two plans...be sure to pick from only those you can trust, who will get the job done."

"Yes Serenity." He paused. "I only hoped that-" He stopped mid-sentence when he sensed a strange presence vehement presence outside the office.

Endymion nearly tore down the door of her office, despite the warnings of her secretary, in order to get to her. At the moment she was sitting next to the white haired man he had a confrontation with the other day, discussing something or another. As soon as he had stepped in the room, his chest heaving up and down intensely, the man stood up with a look of shock and anger on his face. One look at Usagi told him that she was not fazed about his arrival, more that she was expecting it.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Diamond called out. "And what right do you think you have to come barging—"

"It's all right Diamond...I've" She paused. "Been expecting him." She noticed how from the moment Endymion had stepped in the room; he had only given Diamond a sideways glance before looking fiercely at her, his gaze revealing his lust, his eyes burrowing into her. She could even sense his hatred for him. Diamond could prove to be somewhat of a nuisance.

"Serenity, I do not THINK" Diamond began.

"Then don't." She interrupted. "Leave us."

"Serenity"

"You heard your orders," She began calmly. "Leave us before I change my mind about what you are worth alive." She replied angrily. "Are we in an understanding?" She finished calmly.

"Yes your highness." He replied with downcast eyes as he turned to leave the office, accepting the humiliation, but yet inwardly plotting to be rid of his new competition.

"And do not think I can not hear your evil thoughts Diamond...you are my most faithful servant" She paused, watching as his body stiffened in response to what she had said. "But if you cross my path...you will regret the day you fucked with me." She finished as he gained control of himself and walked out of the room.

~*~

As soon as Diamond was outside of the confines of the room, he clenched his fist; drops of blood began to fall to the ground as he could hear Serenity's voice over the intercom.

"Rosa?"

"Yes Ms. Tsukino?"

"Cancel my appointments for the rest of the day."

"Yes Ms. Tsukino." The secretary ended, pressing a button on the panel of the desk that ended the call.

Shortly after the call ended, Diamond dug his fingers into his flesh even deeper than before. Mamoru would pay for getting in the way of what rightfully belonged to him, he was a mere man after all, and mere men could be easily done away with.

He walked into the elevator, his demeanor changing with every step as he got angrier and angrier with every movement. He didn't know why she would ever choose to be with a non-alkali such as Mamoru, especially since she knew the rules of the clan of Alkali. She could have easily gone to him if she wanted a child; he was full-blooded Alkali just as she was.

His brow ticked slightly as he pressed his palm to the steel panel that was on the elevator wall. At once a red infrared line appeared and went across the wall.

"Retinal scan detected." A womanly computer voice announced. "Please proceed with voice activated password."

"Dnomaid." He replied.

"Status Confirmed." The computer replied. "Proceeding to the fourth floor."

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor and Diamond turned away from the elevator door and faced the wall. The back wall of the elevator opened and he walked through to the forth floor.

~*~

Usagi had known that her calling him with visions would get him heated up and ready for her, but she had never expected him to be so out of control and untamable. She was shocked at how fast he had taken off his clothes, and then more shocked when he literally ripped her clothing apart so fast that she didn't realize until she saw pieces of her once Donna Karren Suit laying tattered all over the room. He was acting like the wolf that he was, his lust so fierce that she couldn't believe. She glanced sideways and braced herself as she was roughly slammed against the wall. She bit her lip as she was repeatedly thrusted against it. Mamoru's lips claimed her; his shoulders supporting her body and his hands holding her firmly round her waist as she wrapped legs around his neck. Her hands scraped and tore behind her head at the wall, ruining the paint, while trying to find something stable to grasp on to.

A woman could get used to this…

When her release came for her, she momentarily sank to the floor before he pulled her down and pressed her back against the soft carpet gently.

"I don't expect passion from you so don't treat me like I'm made of fucking glass ok." She snapped at him even as her chest was heaving, her body still getting over her recent climax. She was surprised when he forced himself within her.

"You don't need to expect anything but sex from me." He growled before he began to thrust wildly into her, their motions so wild she could feel the rug burning her skin.

But he wasn't thinking of her.

In fact, he was far from feeling himself in a world with this woman beneath him, allowing him to take her to the edge of reason and back. He learned in this moment that although Usagi's coupling with him could have taken away his desire for any other woman of his current life, she could never take the place of his previous love unless he gave her permission to do so, and he'd be damned if he was going to give her that much of himself. As long as he thought of her, he could endure this whole meaningless exchange.

In his eyes, she could never compare to Alyssa, not even close.

What happened next, however, could have never been expected nor anticipated by either participant in the lustful reciprocation. It was in this moment that Mamoru would forever learn Usagi's true rage, a sight that not even Minako had wished to witness first hand.

So lost in his thoughts on Alyssa that in his moment of passionate release, he called out her name. He wanted to bite it back, but it was far too late.

"What the FUCK did you just say?" Her hand was at his neck, her fingernails digging into his skin till blood began to drip down and onto her own chest.

It was a challenge.

A test of power.

If he said what she wanted him to say, she would win him over not just physically and mentally, but the dedication of his heart as well, something he could never give up to such a cold hearted bitch like herself. Her eyes were boring into his, as if trying to pick the answer from his mind, or perhaps trying to ignite fear of her in his very soul. He battled her eyes with everything he had and replied with triumph, knowing that it would only tick her off that she could not totally dominate him. He replied without fear.

"Alyssa."

"Wrong answer." She pushed him off her and brought her knee hard and quick against his groin. He doubled over in pain, muttering a few choice words as he rolled over and way from her, grabbing himself and bringing his knees to his chest. "Are you fucking around Mamoru?" She asked him angrily, her gaze burrowing into his back; he could feel her presence looming dangerously over him.

He didn't respond.

"I asked you a fucking question!" She bit, getting angrier by the second. "Now answer me, before I get angrier than I already am."

"For someone...who wants nothing emotional...from this exchange..." He coughed out, his voice straining with every word as he attempted to regain his composure. "You sound like...like you're jealous." He finished. Before he could even blink twice, she was atop him with a look that could kill.

Perhaps that wasn't the right words for him to say.

"You bet they weren't." She replied, reading his mind. "I suggest you listen up." She began, her hand reaching for his genitals and squeezing him so hard he thought that he would die from the intensity of the pain that he felt. "What I feel is none of your damn business, and as long as I deem it so you shall obey me." She continued. "And furthermore..." She paused as she narrowed her eyes, squeezing her hands tighter around his shaft and causing him to howl in pain. "As long as you are my consort..." She paused once more. "My slave...your fucking dick and all it's seed belongs to me you got that?" She continued. "And as long as you're fucking me and only me, every single drop better enter my womb and no one else's you hear me?" She paused, looking at him as if his mere appearance caused venom to form a bittersweet taste in her mouth. "Which means there will be no cock sucking or anal fucking with me or anyone else." She finished angrily.

"Don't worry...I wouldn't...wouldn't want...my dick there...any-anyway." He choked out the insult. She squeezed him harder in response.

"You think this is a fucking game Endymion?" She asked him angrily. "Because let me assure you...I am not the type who fucks around...and if I ever catch your dick in any other woman's pussy...or in any place but the tight squeeze of my legs...I will push it up your ass so far that you'll be shooting sperm out your mouth..." She ended with a cold glance before accepting his mental submission and rising from him.

There was a moment of silence as she stalked naked over to a wall, and pressed a button so that a drawer appeared.

"Don't make this any harder than it needs to be." She finished as she plucked some clothing out and began to put them on.
