Yeah, I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I kinda like the idea I have. This will be a betrayal, kinda…If you read down further, maybe you'll see what I mean.
As for couples, who knows? There will definitely be some crushes going on here, I think. .-
Enjoy.
START:
Usagi was running as fast as she could go behind Sailor Saturn. The fact was, though, Hotaru was more athletic and therefore faster than Usagi was (and probably a whole lot less pregnant ;P).
"How much farther?" Usagi panted to the girl ahead of her. She glanced back quickly to see explosions in the back, screams for help issued all around her, and Usagi desperately wanted to aid the ones calling. However, since she had first become pregnant, Usagi had lost the ability to transform into Sailor Moon. She regretted waiting to tell her senshi that fact until now.
Because now, here she was, leaving her senshi behind to fight off what seemed like countless youma. She couldn't fight, so she was being sent off with the strongest senshi besides herself to find Setsuna, so that Usagi could hide, protected by the Time Gates, in a place no one could access but Setsuna herself.
While their loyalties would always lie with their princess, the senshi needed to protect the innocent people who were currently being slaughtered by an assailing of green lights expelled by what appeared to be a new type of youma. Only the senshi seemed immune to its killing power, though they were heavily damaged if hit.
These monsters were different from all the others Sailor Moon and her senshi had ever encountered before. They were all dressed the same, wearing robes and concealing their faces with a mask. They were armed with wands that carried an array of power that Usagi had never witnessed before in her life. The youma could torture as well as kill, and this torture seemed even crueler than death itself.
What surprised Usagi was that there were a few people fighting back the new youma with what seemed to be magic of their own, despite lacking senshi power. While they were pretty successful, the problem was that there weren't enough of them to stop the ensuing chaos that was all around the entire city. Usagi had faced plenty of youma before, but there had never been this many. How was it possible?
Usagi's thought were cut short as a youma descended down in front of her path, squeezing in the space between Hotaru and herself, leaving Usagi unprotected. For the first time in her life, Usagi knew she was completely defenseless, a normal person. She wondered if she was going to die from the green lights that were killing everyone else, but the man turned to face Saturn. (Sorry, he is NOT Mamoru ;P)
"Well, look at this pretty lil child all dressed up and trying to protect a filthy pregnant muggle," That man said in a cruel voice. "You're as disgusting as she is, I can sense all that power, and yet you use it to protect such filth."
Usagi didn't understand the terms the man used to speak to Saturn, but she could hear the hate in his tone of voice. She looked desperately at Saturn. The girl's face remained as calm as ever, but Usagi could see the concern in her eyes. Run she mouthed to Usagi, but before Usagi could do any such thing, she was caught in a seizure of extreme pain. It hurt like nothing had before.
She could hardly think about anything else but the pain. Tears began to trail down her cheeks, and Usagi's wide eyes were clouded with the salt water. Her arms clutched around her stomach, her fingers clawing into her own shirt. The only thought she was able to form was a hope for her child to be alright.
The man laughed, "Two birds with one stone."
Somewhere in the back of her mind, Usagi wondered how the man knew she was pregnant when she wasn't even showing yet. She looked to see Hotaru swinging her glaive in the air, a determined and anxious look breaking the usual stoic expression on her face. Suddenly, the pain stopped. The man broke his concentration on her and had began to fight Saturn, somehow managing to block the senshi of death's attack.
Even though the worst had finally ended, Usagi found that, at this point, she could no longer stand. She collapsed onto the hard cement and her whole body became overcome with shivering. She wondered again if she was going to die.
"Usagi!" She heard her name called.
"Usagi!" She heard her name called once more.
The first time had been Hotaru. The second time had been a deeper voice, the voice of a man, a voice she knew was that of her beloved. Somehow, she found the strength to smile as she looked up to see the familiar face she expected. It was him. Mamoru. Something seemed different about him, but her mind couldn't seem to register exactly what. The excruciating pain she had just experienced had left her brain in a numb and barely functioning state.
Things began to dim. The world slowly swirled itself in Usagi's vision, and then began to get darker and darker. Now all she could do was hear.
"What the HELL do you think you were DOING!" She heard her beloved bark at the man. "Did I not tell ALL of you not to lay a FINGER on this girl!"
"B-but, sir, I thought-"
"Crucio." She heard Mamoru say, and recalled faintly that she had thought she had heard the man who had attacked her say the same thing. Did that mean something?
Usagi completely blacked out before she could contemplate her own question.
oooooOooooo
Chiba Mamoru looked at his beautiful wife and picked her up off of the ground, holding her gently in his arms. His fingers pulled back a golden curl that had been plastered to her face by her tears. He wiped away her tears and kissed the top her head, burying his face into her soft, smooth hair.
"I'm sorry, Usako," He whispered so quietly that even if Usagi had been awake she would have barely heard him. "This was all for you, but somehow it turned out wrong. I will succeed, though. I'll make it all up to you. Our family will be happy in the end."
The senshi of death watched the scene; any doubts that had appeared in her mind when she watched how Mamoru had dealt with the youma disappeared. What was she thinking? Of course the prince was safe for her princess. She could see how much he loved her. It was as much as all her senshi loved her, and how much she loved all of them back. Hotaru smiled a rare smile, silently grateful that her princess had a man who cared for her so much.
Mamoru looked at Hotaru with a serious face.
"Contact the others, I need to get all of you out of here." He spoke with a commanding voice that Hotaru briefly imagined he would use constantly once he became King. Even so, she hesitated.
"But the people here…" Hotaru trailed off and let out a gasp, surprised to see the youma retreating.
While the youma were disappearing, however, it seemed liked more and more people were popping up. Was it her imagination, or had she just seen a few men come right out of thin air? It couldn't be. Saturn shook her head; they had probably just run out into her line of vision due to the youma.
Saturn refocused to the task at hand, surprised at how her mind was wandering in a situation like this. At any rate, the people were probably safe now that the danger the youma presented had passed. Her princess needed her attention right now.
The something else happened.
Mamoru's eyes seemed to change for a flicker of a second, and she looked at him questioningly.
"No…" He said, then he looked at Saturn. "You were taking her to hide at the Gates, right? Go there now with Pluto, and tell Pluto I'll contact her as soon as I can. Saturn, do not, under any circumstances talk to anyone."
He looked at her directly in the eyes.
"I mean it Saturn, tell Pluto she's to do the same until I can contact her. Promise me, Hotaru."
He had used her real name while she was still Saturn. Feeling his seriousness, she nodded.
"I promise."
He handed Usagi gently over to Saturn and took one last look at his wife.
"Go, now."
Saturn ran as fast as she could while carrying her unconscious princess, continuing in the direction she and Usagi had been running in just a while before.
Saturn had meant to keep the promise she made with Mamoru, but in her hurry she crashed into a very old man walking in the street. While she had remained uninjured and had Usagi still safely in her arms, it would have been unthinkable to carry on without checking if the elderly man was unharmed.
Saturn turned around and bent down as best she while holding a girl that was bigger than she. Before she could say anything however, the old man spoke first, smiling a twinkling smile.
"Why hello," He said in a happy voice, showing that he was unhurt. "I'm Albus Dumbledore."
END
Hmm, how was it? Was it a bit OOC? I edited it, but it seems a bit that way, which REALLY BUGS ME. Unfortuanatley, it's really late at night/early in the morning, so I just have to go to sleep. But I'm so anxious to post this, so I'm putting this up despite my uncertainty of the story's condition.
As always, review.
