Chapter 1
Usagi was upset. Well that was an understatement. Lets try again. Usagi was pissed off. No… that doesn't quite say it. Ok one more try. Usagi was
angry, furious, pissed off, upset, hurt, saddened and anything else someone can feel along those lines. One question rang through her mind.
How could this happen to me? Why did he do that? (Ok it was two questions ^_^)
She needed to talk to someone about what she had just seen. She needed conformation that what she had just seen was a mistake or an identity
error. But she knew that she couldn't deny that that was Mamoru and indeed she saw what she saw. Usagi went to the only place that she could at this time. The temple. She had to go there anyway for a meeting.
*****
The girls were having their own little discussion (it should have been a major discussion).
"Alright let me get this straight. You mean to tell me that all of you have been having intercourse with Mamoru?" Ami asked.
"What?" Minako asked.
"Intercourse means sex, Minako," Ami clarified.
"Oh."
"Anyway, yes we have, although I didn't think that it would be all of us," Rei said.
"What I don't understand is why and how you could do that to Usagi," Artemis said.
"Its not like we made it happen. It just happened. Anyway that's not the point. The point is how he could sleep with any of you when he has me," Makoto said.
"What!? I know for a fact that he loves me!" Rei said.
"Oh no Rei not this time. You all know that no one can resist the Ai no megami," Minako said. "Besides I have something that will tie him to me besides love."
"What?" Ami asked.
"I'm having his baby." She said matter-of-factly.
Everyone looked at her in shock. Rei was the first one to react. "Like Hell you are ever going to keep him like that. I will have you know that I too am carrying his child."
"You two can't be serious. How could you be so irresponsible as to get yourself in that position? You two are so reckless…"
"It wasn't our fault. Like you said before, it just happened." Rei said cutting her off.
All during the conversation Luna said nothing. She was getting increasingly angry by the minute and hearing that two senshi were pregnant for Mamoru was her breaking point. At this time Usagi was just reaching her destination. Hear sounds of an argument she decided to listen before she went in.
"I can't believe what I'm what I'm hearing. How could all of you do that! I thought that Usagi was your best friend and leader, but it is obvious that isn't the case. You betrayed her to the highest degree. First you sleep with Mamoru. Then, if that's not enough you two," she said looking directly at Rei and Minako, "get pregnant for him. Don't you know how much it will hurt her when she finds out? I'm ashamed, disgusted and upset with all of you. What do you have to say for yourselves?"
"If you are expecting me to say that I regret what I did then your wasting your time, Luna. I never wanted to let Usagi have Mamoru. It's all because
of their stupid destiny that I stepped aside and let her take him. I love Mamoru more than anything else and I am glad that we will share a child together. He will soon realizes that all the other girls mean nothing to him and that we were meant to be. As for Usagi, I never thought that she was good enough for him. She is irresponsible, lazy, loud, a crybaby and too naïve. Mamoru told me all about their relationship and let me just say that she wasn't doing her
duty by making him happy. He came to me for that and I was more than happy to help him. So don't try to run a guilt trip on me by say 'what about
Usagi'. If you do I will just say 'what about her'." Rei said.
Luna was a bit taken back by Rei's statement. She always thought that they all liked Usagi. Looking at each girl in turn she said, " Do you all feel this way?"
"What Rei said is true Luna. You know it as well as I do," Ami said. "She is chronically late, lazy, too loud and is uncoordinated. How can you expect Mamoru to marry someone like that and build a kingdom with her? That would be irresponsible of him, not to mention disastrous. He needs a stable woman in his life, not an air head, to put it delicately." Everyone agreed with Ami's statement. There was a measure of truth in it.
Usagi was stunned by what she heard. Her best friends had been sleeping with her boyfriend. Suddenly all the missing pieces fit together. All the times that one of them was missing from a group activity. That time she had seen Ami and Mamoru on his motorcycle going in the direction of his apartment. She had just brushed it off as him taking her to the library or something but now she knew what really happened. She was very hurt by them. They were so hypocritical. If they didn't like her at all then why the pretense? She decided to find out the answer herself. Taking a breath to calm herself she opened the door.
*****
Luna was about to continue when she heard the door open. All talking died down when they saw it was Usagi. She had a blank look on her face. Her
normally bright cerulean eyes were now icy and blank. The girls were a little bewildered. They were also concerned about the expression [or lack thereof] on her face.
"Usagi are you alright? You seem upset about something," Ami asked.
"Your right. I am upset," she said walking in and sitting down. Making herself comfortable she continued. "I just found out some disturbing information today and I came to share it to you. And when I arrived I find you guys arguing. Care to tell me what that is about?"
The girls were relieved. Although they didn't like her they didn't want her to find out just yet. "We were just talking about guys," Minako said.
Usagi nodded. "I bet."
"Why don't you tell us what has you upset, Usagi?" Makoto said. "I will." Standing, she began to pace about the room. After a while she began to talk in a chilly monotone. "I want to tell you a story." Pausing she continued. "Today I went to see my boyfriend, you know, Mamoru. And what I saw was shocking. I opened the door with the key he gave me. And do you know what I find?" She stopped and gave them her full attention. They shook their heads. She continued, "I found Mamoru and a girl on the floor having sex."
They all looked at her in disbelief. "No way!" Makoto exclaimed.
"Yes. And let me tell you they were so in to it that they didn't ever hear me enter."
"You're lying, Usagi. Mamoru would do nothing like that! You just want to make him look bad and accuse him of things that he didn't do. You're such a bitch, Usagi! " Rei shouted jumping to her feet.
Usagi promptly slapped her. Looking at her with a gaze that could kill she said, "Don't you ever call me a liar or a bitch again. I will not tolerate any more of your abuse towards me. Do I make myself clear?"
Rei refused to answer. Calming herself, Usagi continued. "To get their attention, I cleared my throat."
***Flashback***
Usagi is standing in the doorway looking at the two on the floor. Fighting the natural response to run or breakdown and cry she stood her ground. Finding courage she cleared her throat. Mamoru looked up and saw her standing there with her hands on her hips. Struggling to get up he stammered out, "U-U-Usagi this is definitely not what it looks like."
"Oh really. Well it looks like you were having yourself a grand old time on the floor with," Turning her attention to the woman who was struggling to put on her clothes she said very sweetly "I'm sorry dear I don't know your name."
"Its Diane."
"Oh Diane you don't have to do that. I was just leaving. You two can continue you're… um …fun. As for you, Mamoru," she said turning to him, "I really don't want to see you again." Turning around abruptly, she left slamming the door behind her.
***End flashback***
"All my feelings surfaced after I left. Then I come to the only place where I can go to for refuge and what do I find? I find my best friends arguing. And I also learn about a little fact that I didn't know before. All of you are sleeping with Mamoru. And if that isn't enough I find out that two of you are pregnant for him."
All the girls were silent. They knew what she was saying was true and didn't know what to say. Minako spoke up. "We can explain," she started but Usagi cut her off.
"That is the same crap Mamoru said to me. Well you know what? I don't want to here it. Save for someone who cares. I don't want to speak to you, hear
from any of you or even see any of you including Mamoru. You all betrayed me in the worse way and for that I will never forgive you. You know, you
girls really deserve Mamoru. He's using all of you and you don't even realize it yet. Here you are fighting over him and he's out there having a good time. And in the far off chance that he does choose on of you, how will you know that he wouldn't do to you the same thing he did to me." Usagi picked up her bag and walked out closing the door softly behind her.
Luna looked at the girls with disgust before she and Artemis left as well. Rei looked at the rest of the girls and said, "At least she is out of the picture." The others agreed.
*****
Luna and Artemis caught up with Usagi as she walked home. Sensing someone following her she turned around to see them. Luna spoke up first, "Usagi
I'm sorry for what's happening. I …"
"Shh, Luna. Its alright don't worry about it." Picking the two cats up she continued, "I really was looking for a reason to leave him but wow what a
reason! Now at least I'm free to date again. Artemis, how would you like to stay with me and Luna?"
"I'd like that a lot. But do you think your parents will mind?"
"No I don't. So how does fish for dinner sound?" Both cats agreed that it sounded great.
