Chapter 4: A New Enemy, Wedding Bells, and Pain

Usagi looked at the train and then at Chibiusa. 'She'll be killed if you don't save her.' A voice said in her head. Usagi nodded. The train was getting closer to Chibiusa. She looked behind her to Draco. He was shaking his head, mouthing "Don't do it" over and over.
Usagi gave him a small smile, knowing fully well what she was about to do, Chibiusa no longer controlling her. Without another thought she jumped in front of the train, ready to push Chibiusa out of the way. Only one problem: Chibiusa wasn't there.
Usagi fell to the ground, but quickly pushed herself back up. Beautiful white wings sprang from her back, and she flew to safety. She looked back, but the train wasn't there and there weren't any train tracks.
But something was wrong with Draco. He was twitching and screaming on the ground. Usagi looked on in horror. It was hot. Flames were everywhere. Why was everything thing burning? It was too hot.
'Draco.' She tried to scream. No sound came from her lips. She could hear laughter. Cruel, terrifying laughter. She looked around but saw no one. What was happening? She didn't understand.
She flew to Draco and tried to help him up. She had to get him to safety, but something was pulling her down. Usagi struggled to get up, but couldn't. Vines started to wrap themselves tightly around her.
It became harder for her to breath. Draco yelled in pain. Her clothes caught on fire and were burning, her with them. She couldn't stand this. She had to, she had to...

Fear
x-x-x
Usagi opened her eyes to see a blurry figure. "Draco?"
Draco smiled broadly. "Usagi, you're awake." He said stating the obvious. "Are you okay? You collapsed after running...through the front gates."
"Are you okay?"
Draco looked at her strangely. "Never been better. Why?"
"The fire," She said sitting up, "is it out?"
Now Draco was looking at her as though she had grown another head. "What fire?"
"The fire."
"There wasn't any fire."
"But I saw it, and you, and-"
"There was no fire, Usa-chan."
"Setsuna-san, what do you mean there was no fire? I saw it and I felt it."
"It was only an illusion." Pluto told her.
Now Usagi was confused. "If it was only an illusion, the why is it that I could feel it."
"Because you made it real." Pluto answered. "It started out as an illusion, but when you began to believe it was real, your mind made it real. The human mind is able to do anything."
"But who created the illusion?" Usagi asked in a worried tone, afraid it might be another enemy.
Pluto sighed. "I'm not sure, but I'm afraid it might be another...adversary." She said as if afraid to say the word enemy.
"Adversary?"
"It means antagonist." Draco said. Usagi stared at him with a blank face.
"Opponent, foe, rival...enemy."
Usagi sighed." I knew what it meant, I guess I was just hoping I was wrong" She smiled brightly. "But no worries. We'll send this new enemy back where he came from and everything will be back to normal."
Draco could see she was faking it. "Usagi, stop." Usagi stopped her babbling and bowed her head as if to hide her sadness.
"Sagi," Draco said lifting her chin up gently, "you don't have to put up an act."
Usagi nodded. Tears clouded her vision, and she wiped her eyes. "I know," she said lifting up her head to look into his eyes. Sapphire met gray. "But why don't they just leave me alone." Tears flowed freely, quite different from the usual wails of her past life. These were the tears of one who had seen all and felt all, tears of a forlorn soul.
"Can't they see I don't want to fight?" Draco hugged her tightly. "Can't they see that I just want to be left alone?"
Then suddenly, it was happening again.
Terror
Everything was being destroyed. Darkness covered all and she was no longer in Draco's comforting arms. She was flying over a city, if it could be called that. Everything was being destroyed. The people were frozen in place were shattered one by one.
She watched helplessly as the Senshi, Draco, Lucius, Narcissa were all destroyed. "Moon Prism Power." She yelled out. But nothing out. "Moon Cosmic Power." Still nothing. "Moon Crystal Power!"
"Henshin!" She yelled. "Why can't I henshin!"
'Usagi!' She heard someone yell in the distance, but the process faded away as the temperature rose and it became harder for her to breathe. 'It's all your fault.' It was the same voice that told her to help Chibiusa.
'It's all your fault.' The voice repeated. Usagi shook her head frantically. "No it's not." She said, as though she was trying to convince herself instead of her invisible enemy. "No it's not, no it's not." It wasn't her fault.
Two hands shot out and grabbed her head nodding it forcefully. She tried to move but was paralyzed. Her lips started to move on its own. "It's my fault." They said. She could hear laughter. The same insane laughter she had heard before. She grasped her head tightly as if to force the voice out.
She knew she was being shaken. She could feel hands gripping her shoulders.
"Usagi!" She heard.
"What happened to her?" A new voice. A worried voice.
"I don't know." She could tell the person was frightened.
Then she heard nothing and the shaking stopped. The laughter grew and she clutched her head even tighter. Her heart was pounding. She started to whimper. Small, scared sounds. Arms went around her protectively. From ahead she could see a wave coming, but she still couldn't move.
x-x-x
Usagi's eyes flew open. She looked around skeptically. Her eyes met worried ones. Draco's. Water dripped from his platinum blond hair onto his nose. It was then she noticed that she was wet. She hugged herself, tears ran down her cheeks and she whimpered in fear, rocking her body back and forth. She shivered violently.
Draco's heart was breaking as he watched her, not knowing what to do. He hesitantly put his arms around her again. Almost immediately she stopped shivering. Usagi buried her face in Draco's chest. Draco took out his wand and muttered a spell drying them both.
"Usagi?"
Usagi looked towards where the voice came from. "Mama." She said relieved. Narcissa nodded. "I brought you some ice cream. Strawberry."
Usagi smiled slightly. "Thanks.' She said, Draco barely able to hear her. She sat up taking the bowl from Narcissa and smiled when she saw toast on the side of the bowl. There was also cereal on the ice cream, which made her smile even more. (Believe it or not that's how I like to eat ice cream.)
She closed her eyes savoring the taste. She shivered slightly, liking the coldness of the ice cream, which was a big difference to her "nightmare." Usagi slowly brought the spoon to her lips, but the door to her room opened, causing her to jump slightly. The ice cream slid of the spoon and onto her lips. She tried to catch it with the spoon but with no luck. It slid down her lips to her chin to her hand.
Draco watched as Usagi tried to lick the trail of ice cream with her tongue. She tilted her head back a little, as if that would lengthen her tongue. Draco's mouth hang open. He could only stare. What was she doing? Better yet, what was he doing? He unconsciously licked his lips.
Usagi's eyes widened as she watched Draco lean forward. She too leaned forward. They were now only inches apart. Usagi closed her eyes and ...

The door that had been opened closed quietly, the witness in shock. But the two noticed nothing, but each other. Draco looked down at Usagi's mouth and he began to wonder if they felt as soft as they looked. He had been leaning forward unconsciously and he gasped when he noticed how close they were.
Usagi watched him in slight surprise. A small smile formed on Draco's face. He had been wondering about those beautiful flowers Usagi called lips. He took the ice cream bowl from her lap and placed it on Usagi's white nightstand and almost hesitantly he brushed his lips with hers.
x-x-x
Narcissa Malfoy leaned against the door of Usagi's room her eyes widened at what she had almost witnessed, and a small part of her did. After all, not every mother can say they've witnessed what Narcissa believed to be Draco's first kiss. She had to record this in Draco's old baby book. She moved to go, but saw Lucius coming forward and panicked.
She could not let him see what was going on in there for reasons unknown. She just felt this overpowering urge to keep him away. Narcissa stepped in front of him blocking his path. Lucius moved to the side. Narcissa moved in front of her. He moved to the other side, and there she was.
Lucius frowned. What was going on in there that his wife would not let him see?
x-x-x
Meanwhile inside of Usagi's room, two people got closer and closer, till there wasn't any room between them. Draco pressed his lips to Usagi's, his arms around her. Usagi's widened eyes closed slowly and Draco wrapped his arms around her. Usagi kissed him back, pouring all that she had into that one kiss.
Draco had no idea what he was suppose to do, this being their first kiss. He pushed deeper into the kiss stroking Usagi's cheeks gently. Usagi hands stayed at her side tightly and the kiss went on, neither wanting it to end.
x-x-x
"You can't...go...back in...there." Narcissa said trying to pull Lucius away from the door.
"Why not?" Lucius said grunting. For such a frail looking woman, his wife was pretty strong.
"Because Usagi...needs...to rest," She had a death grip on his arm and was pulling with all her might and so was Lucius. Then without warning Narcissa let his arm go and he went flying into the door.
Draco and Usagi quickly pulled away from each other and Draco pushed Usagi unto the bed. He grabbed one of her books and opened it to a random page pretending to have been reading to her, his cheeks strawbery, not noticing he was holding it upside down.
Lucius got off the floor, rubbing his head. "Ow."
Usagi and Draco looked from Lucius to human shaped hole on the door, then to Lucius, then back to the door.
"Uuhh," Lucius said, "I tripped." Narcissa cleared her throat and laughed nervously. The others joined her, each laughing for their own reason. Had anybody else arrived they would have seen a group of people who needed some serious psychological help.

Two days before the wedding:
Usagi walked around, trying to find her way. How could she have gotten lost? She'd live in this so called house for 10 years and she still couldn't get around without getting lost.
"Is the miss lost?"
Usagi looked down to find (how do I describe it?) a brown creature with long pointy ears, wearing what seemed to be a dirty pillowcase. Its head was bowed and it was fiddling with its hands. Usagi kneeled in front of the creature to get a better look at it.
"Who are you?" She asked it curiously. She'd only met a few of the houselves.
"I am Minky, miss." It answered stuttering. Usagi was definitely sure it was female.
"Well then," she said straighting up, "I' m Usagi. Nice to meet you." She held out her hand. Minky backed away from it as though she were afraid Usagi was trying to lure her into a trap.
"What's wrong?" Usagi asked drawing back her hand.
"Minky is merely a house elf. Minky is not to touch the miss." She'd forgotten about that.
Usagi nodded. She remembered what Draco had told her, that house elves were considered lower than human beings.
Usagi suddenly came up with a bright idea. She sniffled, and gave Minky her best puppy dog eyes. "I am ever so lost," She sighed dramatically. "I don't know what to do."
Usagi again sighed. Maybe she was overdoing it. "What ever will I do, Minky? It's just that this house is so big and frightening. Oh, Minky, you simply must help me get back to my room." She held out her hand.
Minky hesitated before taking it. Usagi smiled brightly at her. "Don't worry, Minky. I'm not gonna hurt ya. And if you want, I won't tell anybody either." She said winking.
x-x-x
Usagi smiled as she reached her room, the house elf beside her. "He we are, miss." Minky said, no longer stuttering. However, Usagi could not get her to look her in the eye.
Usagi pushed open her bedroom door, and smiled as her eyes met her pink and white bunny wallpaper, white furniture, pink, white and yellow sheets and pillows, her white carpet and pink rug. Motionless pictures of the Senshi and of the Tsukinos hang on her wall and on her nightstands. She also had pictures of the Malfoys and her. Those pictures smiled back and waved to her.
"Come-on in," she said pulling Minky inside.
"Minky should not be here. Minky doesn't want to get the miss in trouble."
Usagi smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Minky, I won't get into any trouble and neither will you."
She went to her closet and pulled out a box. Minky looked at the box curiously. Usagi took out a Sailor Moon plushie, and gave it to her. "Here, you go."
Minky looked at her questioningly. "Here, it's for you. It's a sign of our friendship." Minky still didn't move to take it. "You can have it."
Minky took the plushy hesitantly. "Thank you, miss." Usagi smiled brightly, happy to have a new friend, not noticing that Minky was smirking and muttering evilly under her breath.

Two day before the wedding:
Draco Malfoy searched the house for his fiancé. Where was she? He looked around; he's been there three times before. He sighed in defeat, and headed to the kitchen where he knew his mother would be, working on her newest masterpiece.
"Did you check her room?" His mother asked as soon as he entered the kitchen.
"What?"
"Usagi," she said, "you are looking for her, right. Well then, did you check her room?"
"What?"
"Her room," Narcissa said exasperated. "Did you check her room?"
"Huh?"
"Her ROOM! HER BLOODY ROOM!"
Draco looked at her his face blank.
"That's it!" Narcissa yelled throwing up her hand. "I give up!"
Draco smirked, shaking his head. Even after so many years his mother still didn't know when he was playing with her head.
Flashback
An eight year old Draco jumped on his mother's lap. Narcissa put down the book she was reading.
"What is it, Draco."
"Mother, have you seen 'Sagi?" He asked her in a chirpy voice.
"Did you look outside?"
"Yep."
"In the backyard?"
"Yep."
"In the green house?"
"Yes."
"In the woods?" Narcissa asked smiling.
"Yes, Mother, yes!" Draco said impatiently.
"Did you try her room?" Narcissa asked her eyes twinkling.
"What?" Draco was doing the same thing she did to him to her.
"I said did you check her room?"
"Huh?"
"Her room. Did you check her room?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Usagi. Go check her room. She might be in there."
"Huh?"
"Her ROOM!. Did you or did you not check her room!"
Draco smirked inwardly. "You're not making any sense, Mother." He said getting up. "I'll just go check her room."
End Flashback
That was the first time he did that to her.
Draco's pace quickened as he neared Usagi's room. Something was wrong with her. He could tell. His head was hurting, and he fell to the floor in pain. But he wouldn't give up. The closer he got to Usagi's room, the more his head hurt and by the time he reached her room, he was crawling on the floor.
He opened her door to find on the floor, her back to the wall, holding her head, and sobbing in pain. Above her was a house elf, muttering words he could not make out. Her voice was getting louder with each word. Taking out his wand, Draco yelled out one word, "crucio!" and fell into unconsciousness.
x-x-x
Draco woke up with a groan. His head was killing him. He suddenly shot up in bed remembering, the events that took place the day before.
"Usagi!" He called.
Usagi entered the room smilling. "How are you feeling, Dra-chan?"
"I'm feeling like I got hit by a bus, and slammed between two speeding trains."
Usagi giggled.
"Why are you so happy?" Draco groaned again. "My head is murdering me."
Usagi frowned, but smiled again. Nothing could or would ruin her day. "Don't be silly, Dra-chan." She said in a sing-song voice. "Close your eyes." She told Draco.
"Huh?" He just told her his head was solely and painfully killing him.
"Close your eyes."
"Why?" Usagi took a step towards him angrily.
"Okay, okay." Draco closed his eyes
Usagi giggled and ran out of the room. Was she really going leave him like? After a while Usagi came back still giggling.
Draco could feel as Usagi's hands sought his. She placed something in his hands and Draco sniffed the air. It couldn't be! He opened his eyes. It was- chocolate! A whole box, too! Draco smiled at Usagi.
"Thanks!" He said. Then his eyes narrowed. "Why?"
"Why what?" Usagi asked innocently.
"Why are you giving me this?" Draco told her suspiciously. "Last time you gave me a box of chocolate I ended up having to stay in bed for 2 days."
"No reason." Usagi told him before giving him her puppy dog eyes. "I just want you to wear these tomorrow." She said holding up a black cape and top hat.
Draco groaned for the third time that day. "Why would ever want me to where those?"
"I don't know," Usagi said playing with the cape. "I just thought it would make you look ssooo handsome."
x-x-x
Draco looked at his reflection in the mirror, then at his dad. "Why did I agree to wear this?"
His dad patted his shoulder sympathetically. "We, Malfoys can't resist our women." He pulled a hankerchief to wipe his eyes. "I'm so happy for you," He said dramatically.
Draco rolled his eyes. Though he wouldn't admit it, he was both happy and excited to be getting married to his best friend. His happiness shrank. She wouldn't be very happy. And Usagi. She didn't want to marry him. The thought saddened him. He wanted her to want to marry him.
He looked up at hearing a knock on his door, but again bowed his head. His father opened the door to Sailor Pluto. Without another word, Lucius left the room, giving the two privacy.
"The others are here." She told him.
Draco nodded. "If Usagi marries, she and her husband will be bonded." Sailor Pluto told him.
Draco looked up sharply. "Be careful, Mr.Malfoy. If you die she dies, and if she dies Haruka is angry." Pluto told him slightly amused. That being said, she left the room.
Draco hit the wall of his room with all of his might and for reasons unknown broke down and cried angrily.
x-x-x
Draco stood at the altar studying all around him. He looked at the muggle priest his father had borrowed. He looked at his mother and father who were seated to front of him to his left.
The music started and the outers entered dressed in similar dresses of different colors all carrying bouquets of the inners' favorite flowers. Pink zinnias, red roses, pink darias, pink chrysanthemums, and white kikyos. They took their seat, but Draco was too busy looking at Usagi to notice.
Usagi looked at him shyly beneath her veil. Her round bouquet consisted of white roses. The round is composed entirely of roses, clustered to form a solid sphere of blooms, ending only at the base handle. Extending from the bottom, was a white silk bow and ribbons. Her favorites. She was almost to the altar. Her tiny feet stepped lightly on the gypsophila and cherry blossom petals that rested on the floor. Draco couldn't help but stare at her. Narcissa smiled proudly at her marvelous work.
Usagi's veil was cathedral-length, with a couple of long layers of tulle and a blusher veil. Herr headpiece was a tiara, set in front of a half-wreath of roses, which also surrounded Usagi's odangos and clustered at the nape of her neck. Draped from the roses to the crown were two strings of pearls. Her earrings were simple pearl posts. Her necklace was a triple strand of pearls, featuring a pink pearl-edged pendant on the lowest strand.
The bodice was white and unadorned, with an off-the-shoulder neckline trimmed with roses that wrapped around to the back of the dress. It was made of a matte white fabric, with no texture or decoration to suggest lace and she had a princess seam in the front. The skirt of her gown was made up from opaque white fabric that descended seamlessly from the bodice. The skirt had a lace and beaded trim, and was floor-length.
The sleeves of the gown were short, sheer poufs, made up off fine tulle, that started off-the-shoulder and ended at the elbow. The sleeves were also trimmed in roses, which wrapped fully around the bottom of the sleeves.
I got the description from http/ . You can also go there to see pictures of Usagi's dress.
Usagi was nearly there. Only a few more steps to go. She carefully held her dress as she walked not wanting to fall. She neared Draco and again smiled. He held out his hand for her to take.
x-x-x
Usagi looked at Draco dazed. He was actually wearing the hat she gave him earlier, but he had transformed into a black sloak made of the finest silk. Draco was looking at the minister. He had a determined proud look on his face and his icy grey eyes were set. Her shoulders sagged a little and she turned her head, not wanting Draco to see the tears in her eyes. Narcissa caught her eyes and smiled a little
Draco squeezed her hand to let her know it was okay. Usagi wiped the tears from her eyes with her gloved hand and smiled at Draco. She turned to the minister who looked at her quizzically before continuing.
x-x-x
Finally Draco said his vows and it came to the part she both dreaded and looked forward to.
"Repeat after me."
"I, Sernity Usagi,"
"I Serenity Usagi,"
"…take you, Draco Malfoy, in the presence of God, and my friends and family,"
"…take you, Draco Malfoy, in the presence of God, and my friends and family,"
"…to be my husband, my constant friend and my faithful partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do us part."
The priest nodded and then continued, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
x-x-x
Usagi snuck a glance at Draco and sighed kind of happily. It was hard to believe she Usagi had gotten married. She had achieved her goal and had become a wife. It was during the reception and the two were together playing with their pets. Usagi looked around at the outers who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Narcissa whispered something to Haruka.
Suddenly Haruka came up to the two. Usagi smiled at her, but Haruka didn't seem to be looking her away. Instead she was looking at Draco, sizing him up. Draco stood up straight and looked her straight in the eye. Haruka smirked before holding out her hand. "Protect her."
Draco smirked back and took Haruka's hand. "Malfoys always protect their own."
Their moment, however, was interrupted by a loud noise heard from the front yard. It sounded like one of Lucius's traps had gone off. Usagi got up and the sailor senshi stood protectively in front of her and Draco, taking out their weapons.
Lucius pushed Narcissa, Draco and Usagi into the house. Then he, the scouts, along with their guardians headed towards the sound of the noise.
Forget the fifth book. Forget you ever saw it, forget you ever read it. I hope this is long. By the way, enjoy!
Meanwhile, Narcissa led Draco and Usagi to a room underneath the house made especially to protect Usagi. Then she turned, heading pack outside.
"Where are you going?" Both Usagi and Draco asked her.
But she didn't answer. She didn't have time to answer them. Draco and Usagi ran to the elevator of the basement room to go outside, ready to help, but found they couldn't due to a shield keeping them from leaving.
They could hear voices coming from outside. Angry voices. Usagi again hit the invisible wall.
"It's no use." Draco told her. "It won't go away. I know." Usagi again hit the invisible wall, but it wouldn't budge.
Draco sighed. "It won't move."
But Usagi wouldn't listen. She hit it with her shoulders, over and over again. Tears fell from her eyes and Draco turned away. She hit it. Her shoulders were starting to hurt.
She hit the wall and held her shoulder in pain. But she wouldn't give up. She turned to hit the wall with her other shoulder.
"It won't work!" Draco yelled at her. He grabbed her shoulders and began to shake them. "It won't work!"
Usagi shook her head. "Makenai." She whispered. "Makenai." She repeated. "Makenai, makenai makenai!" She repeated over and over. "I won't give up."
Usagi began to glow a bright silver and Draco shut his eyes as the room was covered.
"Usagi!" He yelled.
Usagi did not respond. The light began to die down and Draco was able to open his eyes again. "'Sagi?"
Usagi turned to look at him, her eyes an empty silver. Draco unconsciously backed away. "Usagi what are you doing?" He asked slightly afraid.
"I was too late." She told him motioning to the bodies on the floor.
Draco turned to look at the people and gasped-his mother, the senshi, and his and Usagi's protectors- all there on the floor.
"I was too late." She whispered. "Again."
Draco looked at the people on the floor. "What happened?" He asked Usagi, not really expecting to get an answer.
"I was too late." Usagi responded. "I was too late."
Draco said nothing, but moved towards Usagi. Her wedding gown blew around her and a moon insignia on her forehead radiated.
Neither one of them said anything until Draco pulled away. "Common," He said to her, "Let's get them inside." He said all the while wondering where his father was.
Usagi nodded.
x-x-x
"What are we going to do?" Usagi asked Draco. Her voice was quiet, but he could hear her.
"I don't know." Draco told her. "He was holding his head with both of his hands. "I don't know." He repeated. "I don't know, I don't know."
It was two days after the incident. Two days after he and Usagi were married. Two days after they were attacked...
Draco sighed heavily. His mother, the Senshi, their pets. None of them looked as though they would wake up soon. Usagi had managed to put them all in one of the guestrooms.
Usagi rocked back and forth holding her knees. Draco sat next to her praying, hoping the others wake up soon. Draco slammed his fists to Narcissa's bed. She didn't budge.
He turned to Usagi, hopelessly. "What am I going to do?"
Silence fell between them and they continued to watch the ones in front of them. 'They'll wake up soon." Usagi thought to herself. 'They have to.'
'No they won't.'
Usagi looked around worriedly but saw no one. 'They won't ever wake up.' The voice told her. 'And it's all his fault. He did this.'
Usagi looked towards Malfoy and noticed him smirking. She let go of her legs and started to back away.
Draco looked at her strangely. "What is wrong with you?"
Usagi shook her head and continued to back away. She felt around behind her until she found the door-knob all the while keeping an eye on him. She slowly opened the door.
Draco took a step towards her. "What are you doing?" He repeated.
Usagi shook her head. She held out her right hand threateningly. Draco blinked, looking at her hand. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Usagi looked at him and ran out the door. Draco followed her. What was wrong with her? She had been eyeing him like-
"Usagi!"
He had to get to her fast. If he didn't- He couldn't let Usagi be controlled. Not again. He looked around frantically, but could not find her. He started to run downstairs, but turned sharply.
Her room. She was always in her room when he couldn't find her. She had to be there. Draco pushed Usagi's bedroom door open.
There he found Usagi on her bed, unconscious. He breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward and Usagi's eyes snapped open, but Draco couldn't see that. Usagi's back was to him. He reached out one of his hands, ready to pick her up, or at least cover her.
Usagi smirked as Draco got closer. Only a little while more. Draco moved softly as to not awaken Usagi, but Usagi thought he did for another reason.
Usagi turned to face Draco, holding a wand threateningly. Draco took a step back.
"What are you doing?" He asked her, his demeanor cool. But inside his heart beat faster and faster.
Usagi was not fazed. She growled softly, warning him not to come any closer. 'He did it.' The voice repeated.
She nodded. "You did it." She told him viciously.
"I did what?" Draco asked her, altough he knew what she was talking about.
"You made them like that." Usagi answered him.
"And how did I do that?" Draco asked her sarcastically. "I was in the room with you. You would have seen me."
Usagi shook her head. "I don't know. You just did." She moved a step closer to him. 'That's right. 'He did it. He hurt them.'
"I don't like my friends being hurt!" She told him, glowing. Her eyes were empty. Draco searched her face frantically.
"Usagi..."
"You hurt my friends," Usagi told him. "And now I'll hurt you."
"Two wrongs don't make a right." He was trying his hardest to bring her back. This wasn't the Usagi he knew. She was being controlled by something, somebody and he knew it. Usagi ignored him. She continued glisten and took another step towards him.
"Usagi, why would I hurt my own mother?" He asked trying to confuse her.
"She was trying to protect my Senshi."
"Would my own mother choose your Senshi over me?"
"Yes." She said firmly. But Draco could see she wasn't as sure.
"What about my father," He asked raising an eyebrow. "Where is he?"
Inside he was breaking. Where was his father? Usagi was starting to lower the wand, but then put it back. Draco's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You probably hid him somewhere!" Usagi was trying to convince herself more than him. "Or he's in this with you."
Draco nodded showing that he didn't believe her. "So I was able to get outside, knock out your oh-so-powerful Senshi and your pets, knock out MY pets although they HAVE to obey me, kidnap my father and put my mother in a coma all before you noticed I was gone?" He asked her sarcastically.
"Yes?" Usagi asked weakly. 'He did it.' The voice repeated. But Usagi was having trouble believing it. 'He couldn't have done it.' She thought, but that same chilling voice argued against her. 'He did do it. He did it.'
Draco turned to go. "Uh huh." He couldn't let Usagi see him break down. He had to be strong. He had to go. He couldn't let Usagi lose faith in him…in being a Malfoy.
"I'm sorry." The color returned to Usagi's eyes and the wand fell to the floor. "I'm sorry." Usagi repeated. She wrapped her arms around Draco and buried her face in his chest. "I don't know what came over me. I just..."
Draco wrapped his arms around her, as if to protect her from all around them. "You have to believe me!" She said looking up at him, sobbing.
Draco nodded, still trying to keep on a calm expression. "I really am sorry." Usagi trying to get a reaction. She had quieted down. He had to believe her. "Draco, what is wrong with you?"
He was just looking into space as if she wasn't there. Draco looked down at her, back in control of his emotions. "Come-on."
He started to leave leaving Usagi standing there by herself. Usagi ran up to catch up to him.
x-x-x
Usagi looked at her Senshi worriedly. One week and they still hadn't awaken. She wiped the tears from her eyes furiously. Why wouldn't they wake up!
"It's my turn." A voice interrupted her.
Usagi turned when she heard the voice. It was Draco. She nodded. She got up and Draco took her seat, but she refused to leave. Dark circles under her eyes were proof she hadn't slept.
They sat together in silence. Usagi's head fell from sleepiness, but she wouldn't give up. She wouldn't surrender to sleep. It was one month before Draco went to school. She was to be married to him in August, and go to school in September of next.
"I'm not going, you know." Draco interrupted her thoughts.
"What?"
"I'm not going back to school." He repeated, calmly.
"I heard you," Usagi told him angrily. "What do you mean you're not going?"
Draco did not respond. "You can't not go." Usagi said to him. "You have to go."
"I can't go." Draco smiled slightly. "I don't want to go."
"You have to go." Usagi told him, her voice barely audible.
Draco shook his head. "I'm not going."
"But-"
"I'm not going to Hogwarts." Draco told her firmly. He couldn't go. He refused to leave her.
Usagi hung her head in defeat, and the two went back to studying those in front of them.
x-x-x
Usagi watched Narcissa for any sign of life. She sighed. Why wouldn't she wake? Her Senshi had awaken. Her guardians had woken up. 'Why won't you wake?' She asked Narcissa quietly.
"Time to eat." Hotaru sang, entering the room. She set the tray on the nightstand. Usagi rolled her eyes.
"I'm not hungry, Hotaru." She said slightly annoyed.
Hotaru huffed. "You gotta eat. If you don't-" She held her neck and tilted her head to the side, sticking out her tongue.
Usagi again rolled her eyes. "Fine, Hotaru. I'll eat." She answered. "Just go."
"Okay." Hotaru answered quietly. "I'll go." She tried not to be hurt. She did, but she couldn't help it.
Hotaru closed the door behind her. 'Why won't you wake up?' She sighed. At least she had gotten Draco to go. She wasn't sure how, but she did.
Flashback
"Are you sure, Usa? Are you sure you want me to go to Hogwarts?"
End Flashback
No she wasn't sure. But that was the only way to get him to go. She didn't want him to, but he had to.
Flashback
"Yeah, I want you to go." Usagi smiled.
"Are you positive, Usa? Are you positive you want me to go?" Draco looked unsure of himself. Was it wrong to want to go?
"Yeah. I'm positive." Usagi told him firmly. He studied her for a while.
"Thanks, Usagi." He ran to pack his trunk. "Thanks." He smiled his first smile since Lucius had been gone, and Narcissa and the others had been...asleep.
End Flashback
Usagi smiled. He had gone. He went to Hogwarts. She took a bite of her food, barely tasting it.
Flashback
"How are you gonna get there?"
Draco shrugged. "I don't know. The train probably left."
"I can drive you there."
Draco looked at her unbelievingly. "No." He said hurriedly. "Besides, Potter and Weasley already came with a car." He snorted. "An enchanted car."
Usagi looked at him. "Got any better ideas."
"Yeah." He smirked arrogantly. "My broom."
End Flashback
She hoped he had gotten there on time. Well, not on time, but close to it.
Flashback
Draco mounted his broom. "Bye, Usa!" He yelled as he sped away.
"Bye!" Usagi waved. "I'll write if they wake up."
"Uh huh."
Usagi closed the door behind her and couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes. "I'm all alone now." She whispered, hugging herself tightly.
End Flashback
A tear came out of Usagi's eye but she smiled when she remembered what happened next.
Flashback
"Usagi? What's wrong?"
Usagi looked up. "Draco."
Draco frowned. "What is wrong with you?"
Usagi wiped her eyes. "Nothing."
Draco thought for a while. "You don't want me to go, do you?" He was sad. He wanted to go, but he didn't want to leave her. He didn't want Usagi to cry.
Usagi smiled. "Of course I want you to go."
"I'll stay."
Usagi's smile fell. "What do you mean you'll stay? You have to go!"
"..." Draco stared at her closely, then smiled. "I'll stay with you." He said. "You won't be alone now."
Usagi looked at him in shock. He had heard her. "You have to go." She said seriously.
"Nope. I'm staying."
"You have to go." She was glowing slightly. "If you don't you'll b expelled." She protested.
"I don't care."
"What?"
"I don't care if they don't let me back in next year."
"So you expect me to be the only new one next year, huh. You want me to be by myself, not know anybody." Usagi hit his chest with her index finger. "I'm not going to eat alone." She continued to glow. "I'm going to get into Slytherin and you will be proud of me. We'll go to school together next year and you will show me around. We'll come home during the holidays and you will give me a lot of presents for Christmas."
Draco looked at the angry Usagi. "You're going." She told him. Draco could only nod. Usagi calmed down and stop glowing.
"What did you come back for anyway?"
Draco scratched his head. "Heh, heh," He laughed nervously. "I kinda forgot my trunk and my things."
Usagi sweat dropped "You... forgot your things?" Her eye twitched. Sure she had forgotten things in her lifetimes, but never her trunk (Not that she used one). But still he was a Malfoy.
Lucius and Narcissa always told her how a Malfoy acted and behaved around people, and around their own kind. Malfoys were the best at everything and they never forgot their things.
End Flashback
She smiled. One year. Only one year to wait. But one thing confused her. Who were Potter and Weasley? He talked about them with such hate and disgust. Every summer, he would rant about Potter and the Weasel, but he never told her who exactly they were.
