Chapter 3: Hot Spring
Taro, Usagi and Venus arrived at the Hot spring information counter, the building is full of families, some parents are holding hands to the children, ordering them not to run around the corridor, some are changing robes in the changing rooms, some are playing ping-pong with their friends.
" How may I Help you?" The female staff asked.
" I would like to stay a night in the Inn." Usagi said.
" Hey, you look familiar, haven't I seen you before?" The staff wondered.
" Oh Yes! I'm Tsukino Usagi!" Usagi exclaimed.
" And you must be , Aino Minako, right?" The staff said.
" Yes, I'm Minako." Venus said.
" And who's that red person?" The female staff#1 asked.
" I'm Taro, Ultraman Taro, Minako's boyfriend." Taro said as he introduce himself.
" Boyfriend? What the?" Female staff#2 wondered.
" We are in love with each other." Taro said.
" Oh, ok…" The staff replied." Do you want a mixed bath or a separate bath?"
"Mixed-"
" Separate bath, please." Venus replied.
" Ok." The female staff checked to see if there is any rooms available.
Taro is now getting used to dating with a girl, he doesn't mind that the people gossiping about the fact his strange appearance, of a face look like a cyborg, he can love Sailor Venus, which they first met in North Pole. At the time after Usagi is crying so hard for the loss of her friends, she's asleep in Taro's lap, while the spirits of the scouts are soothing Usagi to stay strong, and Taro is stroking her hair, while Venus' spirit kissed his forehead, this is actually his first kiss of all these years, a million years, to be precise.
" We have a room 208, it's fine for three of you sleep inside. Remember the Hot spring is only a available for an hour!" The staff reminded.
" Ok." They said.
Then they settled down their belongings and take an outside bath. Venus and Usagi are so happy to be at the hot spring once again, the last time is with Jupiter , Mercury and Mars, but they are busy with their schoolwork or either their personal life, at least, Venus herself has a boyfriend, since she lost Phantom Ace before meeting her friends when was Sailor V.
" So, Usagi Chan, how's it feels like to hang out with Taro san?" Venus asked, as she laid a hand on the rock.
" So far, it's fine. I'm still worried about Mamoru san, I'm afraid he can't control himself, that he would kill Taro san." Usagi said as she sunk herself in the water.
" Usagi, You're just thinking too much, no way Mamoru san knows where we are."
" But, I saw Mamo Chan when I was doing my make up, I saw the reflection of Mamo-Chan, he is spying on us, hiding on the pillar."
" Oh no, he is inside the Inn the whole time?" Venus panicked.
" Yes…." Usagi said as she let a long sigh.
" What should we do? Taro san is inside!" Venus exclaimed.
" Shall we tell Taro san to leave?" Usagi said.
" No, he said he wants to go to the Hot Spring, and we promised him to go ."
" Maybe , we should be careful to Mamo-Chan, that we need to stay away from him."
" I don't want You to be mistaken as Taro san's girlfriend, better not to do something like Clinging his arms, or even kiss him." Venus warned as she said with a serious tone.
" But, What If I'm scared of something?, If I'm scared, then should I cling to Taro's arms, or should I run away?"
" Then, I think you should be more careful to everyone else." Venus advised.
" Maybe, I'll find Taro san and speak to him about the fact." Usagi said.
As they spoke about how to hide from Mamoru, he was on his room, and prepared his weapons just in case that the " Demon" would kill Usagi. He has his bag, tuxedo suit, he holds his baton, double check whether his hidden weapons are inside. Shaking the baton for once, the baton's end has a sharp knife, shake it for twice, the Baton's end has a large pipe, which is about 2 meters long, shake it for three times, the Baton's end has a large sickle. He never had these weapons before, after the events of Sailor Stars, he become overprotective, and is so afraid that someone would hurt Usagi, when Usagi is alone, he pulls her head to his chest tightly, because he failed her so many times, he hated himself how can be that useless, his appearance in television is very well common, that Usagi , even his friend, Motoki, admire his fighting skills, the moment when he appeared as he throws a rose.
He doesn't know why himself being brainwashed both by the Dark Kingdom And Queen Nehelenia, he can actually be more careful! Why can't he just stay at home ? When Sailor Saturn, and Chibiusa, rushed to the scene where he was controlled by her, they urged him to wake up, especially Chibiusa. Chibiusa herself is struggling to shake him to gain back his senses, but he even shoved Chibiusa away, and when Usagi also gain back her senses, she noticed Chibiusa died, by disappearing in her arms, even he was mind controlled at that moment, he can barely hear Usagi's sobs of losing Chibiusa, hated himself for being stupid , impulsive for being taken by Nehelenia. Second, after the defeat of Nehelenia, he bid farewell to Usagi, just to go to America, and continue his studies. He can finally take a break, at last! But when he took the airplane, he saw a flash of light, he doesn't notice it is Sailor Galaxia, the ruthless boss that killed Usagi and all of her friends, finally, the moment, he can transform to Tuxedo Mask! He can share the spotlight to show the audience, that he can be a strong warrior to fight, however, Galaxia's powers are too strong for him, his star seed is stolen by her, he is dead.
"That' Taro' guy is a demon! I'm sure he is the one that wants to kill Usako! He is having a hot spring with him? Why Usagi knows Taro? He is a fucking demon! He has three horns on his head, and the face is like a robot, his skin is not a normal human! Why didn't she find me for help? Does she hates me? I guess I have to kill Taro with my new equipped weapon that a person from a bar, he asked me whether I need to protect, so I bought these three weapons, I must kill this evil prick , who dare call himself as Chaos' ancestor! " Mamoru said as he gripped his baton tightly, and pressed the button, to hide his scythe, pipe and the sharp knife secretly in the baton.
Taro , Venus and Usagi finished their bath, and they all put on their robes as they are walking on the corridor.
" Taro san, are you alright? You have a lot of sweat." Venus asked.
" I'm scared of someone, He says he wanted to kill me, because I heard he, is saying like , calling me Chaos ancestor."
" Chaos ancestor?! Are you kidding me?" Usagi shrieked.
" Taro san is not an enemy! Who even dare call my boyfriend an ancestor , who even the fuck call him an ancestor?!" Venus shrieked.
" I trust Taro san! He is the one who saved me after my friends died!" Usagi said as she clings to Taro's arms.
" Calm down, Usagi ." Venus soothed her.
" Let's go back to our room, Mamoru is maybe watching us." Taro said as he gestured them to go back to the room.
"Shall we call Motoki about this?" Venus asked.
" Yes, One time Naru visited my house, she talked about the fact she has a disc of the first season, and the fifth season which features you inside, Taro san, Motoki san also has it." Usagi said.
" Wow, I didn't expect that your friend is a fan of me." Taro said.
" Of course, Taro san! This is an alternate and your brothers are the most famous heroes in japan!" Venus said.
" Really? Thank you." Taro blushed.
Usagi then called Motoki and Naru.
" Moshi Moshi." Motoki said.
" Usagi is here." Usagi replied.
" Oh, Usagi Chan! Where are you, I've been looking for you a whole day!" Motoki answered as he is doing his homework.
" Uh, Hanging out with Taro san." Usagi said.
" You're hanging out with Taro san? Mamoru says he wanted to kill him!"Motoki said.
" Is Mamo-Chan that Stupid? Taro san is the legendary Ultra brother, Ultraman No 6!" Usagi exclaimed.
" Better keep your voice down , I actually saw Mamoru is stalking you two, he is hiding everywhere. He even knows where are you going, I saw him out, and he saw you and Taro san heading in a swimming pool, what's worse, even Ami Chan, Jack san are at the scene!" Motoki exclaimed as he slams the pen on the table.
" No wonder why Mamo-Chan is at near the entrance of the swimming pool." Usagi sighed.
" He's been acting weird these days, he even broke my TV with my glass cup ! This is the last glass cup I've ever had in my lap! He is ranting in front of me! I don't know why he is that angry, and even pat Naru's arm."
" Mamo Chan told me about his nightmare, I assume he is scared of me being killed by some sort of guy." Usagi recalled the moment when they bumped in the entrance of the swimming pool.
" Don't tell me that Mamoru, wants to kill Taro san?! He is a hero!" Motoki said.
" Maybe his horns are like a demon, so Mamo Chan may mistaken his appearance, plus, The Youma we face has horns on top, so no wonder he wants to kill Taro san." Usagi replied.
" Shall I come to the rescue, Usagi Chan?" Motoki asked.
" Not now though, Mamo Chan would notice I am using you as a bait to defend Taro, he would thought I am an accomplice." Usagi sulked.
" How would Mamoru even think of this stuff? I was trying to help him! So does Naru and Umino, they also care about him, he even said ' You don't fucking care about me! I hate you all!' , What the fuck is wrong with him?" Motoki cursed.
" I'm sure we all have our own responsibilities , Motoki san, I actually didn't notice Mamo-Chan has died, throughout those months at that time. I only care about Seiya, instead of him, I'm so stupid…." Usagi's eyes watered a bit.
" Shhh shh, Usagi." Taro said as he holds a tissue and wiped her tears.
" Taro san, you want to speak to Motoki san?" Venus asked.
" Sure." Taro said as he grabs the phone." Motoki , isn't it?"
" Yes, Taro san. Do you feel Mamoru is stalking you?"
" Your friend is nuts, I was forced to hide with Minako Chan from him."
" I tried to persuade him to listen to me, but he huffed away."
" Maybe I'll speak to him face to face once he calmed himself."
" He would kill you, I'm sure."
" Motoki , I would be careful. Don't worry."
" Be careful, Taro san."
Then the call ended.
" What did Motoki say, Taro san?" Venus asked as she sooth Usagi.
" He said he would come later, but now let's be aware everything around us. We don't even know when Mamoru will appear."
" Yes, Maybe I'll sleep with Usagi, Minako. She needs comfort." Taro said.
" So, let's sleep now, tomorrow we'll go back to Usagi's house." Venus said.
Then they switched off the inn's lights, and slept.
Usagi gently wraps Taro in his waist, their last time when they met is when her friends are killed, except herself, all alone until she met him, who would have thought , a red human appeared in the North Pole, How come he knows her? Isn't he from another universe? Taro, is actually wandering on the top of the space, he has nothing to do, but when he saw the whole, North Pole has a Small red dot, he rushed to see whether there is a monster or alien inside, but when he saw Usagi alone, he even said her name, Usagi, at that time, doesn't know why Taro, the sixth Ultra brother knows her, and how can he be so caring like Mamoru, the mighty Tuxedo Mask, the only boyfriend that cares about her.
" Taro san?" Usagi asked as she opens her eyes slowly.
" Hmm?" Taro said as he rubbed his eyes.
" Why you know my name, when I fainted in the ice?"
" At that time, my father and mother are taking a tour on space, they wanted to travel, until one day, they landed on the palace, where Helios is inside, he actually knows my parents because he watched the TV accidentally , and broadcasted the programme of our brothers." Taro answered.
" He actually introduced my parents about his allies, so he mentioned the sailor scouts, and he introduced the scouts to them. And when my parents got back, they told us about it."
" Wow, Taro san…., your brothers are so powerful, I should have trained myself stronger and fight against the Youma easily." Usagi said.
" Usagi Chan, we also have some villains to deal with, we died before, but we have to thank for the land of light, they even grant us the power to revive, isn't it great?" Taro smiled.
" I wish I can have the power to save my friends at the first place, but thanks Taro san…." Usagi's eyes closed, and her hands are wrapping his waist.
" Taro san… don't leave me…." Venus murmured.
" You two are the best friends in my whole life, I promise, I won't leave you two." Taro said as he puts his hands on both Usagi and Venus' shoulders and gently kiss their foreheads, closed his eyes and sleep peacefully.
Looks like Mamoru is still angry of Taro, wonder how Taro would deal with Mamoru, will Mamoru be able to calm down, without losing his temper? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
