Title: Lies and Deception
Chapter 25
Trunks and especially Usagi grew comfortable living together. She had to get over that awkward time the first night they slept together. During their vacation she or he would go to the other's room to sleep but now was different.
Usagi knew definitely that they would be in the same bedroom. And that she would be expected to do the things she normally would do in private, in front of him, at some point in time.
And she was guarded about her body. He had never actually seen her naked. Sure they had sex, twice (author: Now you don't think I'll make them do it daily did you? Tsk tsk, hentai's), but it was always night, and the room was dark.
Now it was a whole new ballgame. At some point, he would see her naked. And she needed to get over that shyness before she did something she would regret. It's not like she has to sleep with him anyway, after all, they're not married. She has no obligations.
So she hid herself as best as she could. Dressing and undressing in the bathroom if he was in the room, something that disappointed him a good deal. He knew that he couldn't force anything with her, but that didn't stop him from trying with her. She knew that and considered herself safe.
But unfortunately for her, Trunks wanted to marry her as soon as possible. He really wasn't going to sit around and wait on that fact. They both loved each other very much and he really wanted to see a ring on her finger, to let every man know that she was definitely taken and most importantly, she was his.
He especially didn't want that Mamoru coming around. That man made something inside of him go on high alert. And when that happened, it usually meant that that person needed to go, fast. Preferably to the next dimension.
But everything wasn't all smooth going for them. Especially Trunks.
He had a problem on his hands. And it's name?
Anna.
He didn't understand why she was kicking up a fuss now. It's like the woman had radar or something. It wasn't enough that she had his money, now she wanted something else. What he couldn't figure out was what she wanted.
The night she had called him and set it for two weeks later, which gave him time to clear his head and get settled with Usagi and the girls.
And that was no small feat either. Almost everything was still in boxes. It took two days just to get the furniture looking decent enough for Usagi. She offered to help him but he refused, not wanting to strain her in any way.
So she stood and directed and he, Chibi Trunks and Goten moved. The only reason why the two trouble makers even went was to see how the two were doing, and to snoop for Bulma. Chibi Trunks would never refuse any reason to tease Trunks anyway.
Besides they enjoyed being around Usagi. She was nice and her food was much better than any that Bulma could cook.
After the first week, everything was unpacked and put in their new home. It was a new feeling for all of them. Chibi Usa never had a man in the house before. (Mamoru didn't count since he was never there anyway) And Annie never had someone who she would consider her mother close to her. Sure she saw her mother, but Usagi treated her differently than Anna ever did.
Things were settling down for the new family, which is what they considered themselves.
Two weeks went rather fast in Trunks' book. Before he knew it they were on their way into Bulma's office to talk. It was the closest one to the lab where he was.
Trunks closed the door behind him. Anna sat down in a chair opposite the desk and Trunks leaned against the desk.
"Now tell me what it is that you want."
Anna was a bit taken back by the abruptness of his voice. "I just wanted to talk to you. That's all."
"You came to the airport to talk to me?"
"Yes, I did."
"Why?"
Anna had had enough. "Trunks what's with you? Why are you so hostile to me?"
"Because you're wasting my time. I have work to do," he said getting up to go.
"It's that woman isn't it? She's making you act like this, I just know it." Anna said harshly.
"No one's making me do anything. And she has a name. It's Usagi," he corrected her.
"Then why are you so hostile to me? You never were like this before," she said.
"I'm tired of you, frankly. Now tell me what you want or else leave," He said coldly.
Anna sighed. This wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. She would have to stop beating around the bush or he would throw her out.
"I want things to be like they were before. Before everything went downhill with us," she responded.
"You mean me going to work and you messing around with everything that walked in the door? No thank you."
"Won't you ever forgive me for any of that? I was young and needy. It was all a mistake," she bit out. "I'm not perfect, and you were hardly home anyway."
"I'm not interested in your excuses. I couldn't be with you 24/7 since I was at work."
"You never had to work. We both know that."
"I worked because I didn't want money simply handed to me. And I enjoy my work. Something you wouldn't know about since you've never worked a day in your life."
"Is that why you resent me?"
"No. I resent you because I took our marriage seriously; something obviously thought was a joke since you couldn't be bothered."
"So that's it? I don't get a second chance?"
It was Trunks turn to sigh. "I have moved on with my life, I suggest that you do the same," he said and walked out.
Anna was stunned and devastated. He was dead serious when we told her that. She couldn't believe that she had lost her chance with him. She had gambled and lost.
It was all her fault really. She should have been a better person, but it was fruitless now. She realized that now. Talking to him pointed that out.
She happened to glance on Bulma's desk and saw a group image with her former family and their friends. She also saw the same blond woman she saw at the airport.
Annie and the other little girl were on her lap. They all looked so happy. Annie especially.
Anna smiled, looking at her daughter's face. She had missed out on so much with her. They never had any kind of relationship, and it was all her fault. She glanced at the image of Usagi once more.
"You take care of those two. You have a great man. Don't let him go as I have," She whispered.
She picked up her things and closed the door behind her. She knew what she needed to do. It was time for her to move on as well.
Meanwhile the outer senshi needed to focus on the problem at hand.
Why were they powerless and who was responsible?
Haruka closed the door after they were all in her office. Usagi, Michiru and Setsuna all took seats as Haruka sat on the edge of her desk.
"So what's happening guys?" Usagi asked.
"We don't really know. I haven't found out anything. It's hard to do this without our powers," Michiru said with a sigh.
"I know. But I have a strong feeling about who's behind this," Setsuna said.
"Who?" Usagi asked.
"Tell us what you know," Haruka said.
"I will I just need some more information and then I'll reveal it to you," She answered.
"But Setsuna!" Usagi exclaimed exasperatedly.
"I will tell you when I'm ready. Until then just continue to look for information." She said firmly, with no room for argument.
"Fine then," Usagi sighed.
"So how's everything with you and your husband?" Michiru asked.
Usagi blushed. "We're not married."
"Not yet anyway," Haruka added. Usagi shot her a look.
"You two might as well be married, which I hope he proposes soon," Setsuna said.
"Well I haven't really given any thought to being married to him," Usagi said. "Though I must admit, it would be nice."
"It would. Finally a man in the Palace," Setsuna said. "And children. It was always too quiet. It's been like that for millennia now."
"Setsuna," Usagi said.
"Hm, don't mind me. I was just remembering the past, that's all," She said.
"Well we've wasted enough time in here, we need to finish working," Haruka said getting up. The others left as well.
Anna pulled into the parking lot and checked herself in the mirror. Seeing that she looked presentable, she got out of her car and headed into the building. Her target: Tsukino Usagi.
Usagi was just settling down behind her desk when the receptionist knocked on her door.
"Come in!" she called.
Susan entered. "Excuse me ma'am but there's a Anna Stewart here to see you. It's important she says."
"Anna Stewart?" she asked thoughtfully. 'I really don't know anyone named Anna Stewat.' "Send her in then," she said.
Anna walked in. Usagi was taken back actually. She didn't expect to see her, but she knew in the back of her mind that this meeting was inevitable.
"I'm sorry to bother you but I had to talk to you. It won't take long. Do you remember me? I was at the airport," Anna said.
"Um, sure I remember you," Usagi said standing up. "It's nice to see you again," she said extending her hand.
"Likewise," Anna said shaking her hand.
"Please sit down" Usagi said, taking her own seat.
"I guess you're wondering why I'm here," Anna said. Usagi nodded. "Well I just wanted to say a few things to you. Please don't interrupt me until I'm done."
"Of course," Usagi said.
"I as you know, was Trunk's wife. We had, a good marriage, although I didn't see it then. I was spoilt by him, and yet I was unsatisfied. He treated me well, gave me everything I wanted, and yet I cheated on him. I'm not proud of what I did, not at all. But I made myself believe that I was justified to do it.
Anyway I was at the airport to basically seduce him back. And I went to his office today to do the same. But he told me that he basically didn't want me anymore. I still had all intensions of continuing to pursue him until I saw a picture on his desk of you, your friends and everyone. You all looked happy. And it made me think about what I was really doing. And I realized that it was wrong.
I was in effect breaking up a family, and I don't want to do that. Just please take good care of my daughter. Be more of a mother to her than I was. And be good to Trunks. He's a very special man," She said getting up.
"Thank you for telling me. I promise that I will take good care of Annie," Usagi said.
Anna nodded and left.
Usagi thought about what Anna said all day. She would have to talk with Trunks when she got home.
Setsuna stayed back a bit later after work. It was dark when she finally finished. She locked up the building and went to her car. She was just getting into her car when someone grabbed her and placed a wet rag over her face. She tried to struggle but quickly became drowsy. Just before she finally blacked out, she heard someone say, "You know too much."
