Alright. This is the last chapter in this fic. Again I don't own anything. Enjoy.
"Usagi…" said Mrs. Tsukino.
"That's not funny," said Ami.
"She isn't the Usagi that we knew," said Sammy.
"What do you mean?" asked Rei.
"How could you…why?" asked Sammy.
"Because Sammy, this world is hell," said Usagi.
"How can it be hell? You have your prince, your protectors, and you have a bright future," said Sammy.
"But I never wanted that. Any of it. That is not what I truly desire," said Usagi.
"But you also have parents that love you," said Ms. Haruna.
"I don't. They never loved. No that's not true…they loved me once," said Usagi.
"We're sorry. Ever since Sammy was born we didn't give you enough attention," said The Tsukino's.
"Was it because I didn't have your genetics? Is that why you hated me? All you wanted was a son wasn't it Tsukino-san," said Usagi.
"I don't think I understand," said Sammy.
"We adapted your sister. We found her out side our house looking for food in our garbage," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"Usagi I'm sorry," said Mr. Tsukino.
"Because you hated me. You always have, just like him. That is why," said Usagi.
"Why what?" asked Michiru.
"That is why I will destroy this world. Because this world is hell," said Usagi.
"You selfish bitch. You think that everything is about you. What gives you that right," said Sammy as he walked over and slapped his sister in the face.
"You basterd. Sammy, you don't know anything about me," said Usagi.
"So tell me, then dear sister, how is it that you became the first neck?" said Sammy.
"Usako isn't the first neck of the orochi. She beat all of the necks. She is too innocent and needs to be protected," said Mamoru.
Usagi just laughed. "I'm surprised that some one finally figured it out excluding
Makoto," said Usagi.
"Usagi!?" questioned Ms. Haruna.
"Who do you think was behind every attack of the orochi? Why is it that they never targeted me? How do you think they found you? Or for that matter were you were going to be?" said Usagi.
"But why? Your supposed to defend the world," said Sammy.
"To defend the world? There is no reason for me to defend this world any more. Because; this world is truly hell. Sammy have you ever eaten food from any ally way?" said Usagi as she punched him in the gut. "Have you ever been stabbed in the back by people you thought were your friends?" Usagi then punched him in the face. "Have you ever begged for you life from some one you have always wanted to kill?" Sammy fall to the ground in pain. "There is no way you have experienced this. You have always had people who loved you. But I haven't, I never have. Had I know you would not understand this I would have taken you by the hand and shown you that his world was hell. I would have shown you the absolute proof that this world is hell. Because what else can you call a world were a man would beat and rape his own three year old daughter?" said Usagi as she slammed her foot on his face. "A world in which a five year old; had to kill her own father." Usagi then shared the images of Usagi's father's final day.
"Usagi," said Mrs. Tsukino as she cried.
"A world where people only wanted you around for the bright future that they were guaranteed. Because in this world love does not exist. It is a world were manipulation is the only way to survive in it," said Usagi.
"Usagi," said Makoto with tears coming down her eyes.
"With out you this world will be destroyed," said Haruka.
"And what do I care. Why should I care about a world that turned its back on me," said Usagi.
A loud laugh could be heard. "Let it begin. The first of my necks, Usagi Tsukino let us begin," said the voice.
"Usagi you really are the first neck," said Rei
"This is wonderful. The moon princess has truly done it. The moon princess locked me away in my previous life. And now she is mine. What could be more entertaining then this. After all what is love but another form of selfishness. Love is just nicer word for wanting exclusive possession. This time I finally win. My world the world of the orochi finally begins. Sin. Celebrate the beginning of the world of darkness stained with hatred. My world, the world of the orochi. Tare the human world apart. Every last human shall be destroyed. Destroy them" said the voices of the other 6 necks. (a/n That was taken right out of Kannazuki no miko episode 11. I hold no claims or rights.)
"I'll be waiting for you on the moon, Makoto," said Usagi as she disappeared to the moon kingdom.
"What are we going to do?" asked Hotaru.
"I'm going to go after her. I want to talk with her," said Makoto.
"If your going then I'm going," said Sammy as he painfully got up.
"No," said Makoto.
"It's too dangerous," said Ami.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Minako.
"Will go and talk to Usako. Will make her listen to reason," said Mamoru.
"We need to prepare," said Haruka.
"I don't think we can," said Michiru.
"Who would have thought that sweet innocent Usagi would be capable of something like this," said Rei.
"Usagi," whispered Makoto.
The rest of the day and the following day were spent preparing, as well as pondering. The scouts had no idea how to beat Usagi. Makoto clung on to the moon symbol necklace, hoping that in would guide her out of this situation and back to Usagi. Like Usagi said, the dark moon disappeared and the moon kingdom was shinning once again.
"So how are we going to get to the moon?" asked Sammy.
"Were going to teleport their," said Mercury.
"Are you guys sure you want to do this? I mean you may never come back," said Jupiter.
"We're sure. Besides if you Usagi summons her yoma the world is screwed anyway. So maybe if we all talk to her or something, we can save this world. I don't know how yet but I think Usagi will save us all," said Ms. Haruna.
"Usako, were coming," said Tuxedo Mask
The scouts then focused their energy into teleporting to the moon kingdom. Once they arrived the appeared in front of the now reconstructed moon palace. "So Usagi used to be the princess of this place?" asked Mr. Tsukino.
"Yeah, back during the silver millennium," said Mars.
"It's beautiful," said Ms. Haruna.
"Were do you think Usagi is?" asked Mrs. Tsukino.
"I don't know. I can't feel her through our bond," said Tuxedo Mask.
"This way," said Jupiter.
"How do you know?" asked Tuxedo Mask.
"Hello they are both orochi. Although I still don't understand how Makoto is an orochi, but they must be able to feel each other because of that," said Venus.
"This way," said Jupiter again as she them into the palace. The continued down the corridors and ended up in the ball room. The ballroom was positioned so that its grand balcony was over looking the earth and the rest of the kingdom. "Usagi," yelled Jupiter as she ran the center of the room. As she reached the center Jupiter's scout uniform changed over to her royal dress.
Mercury chased after Makoto but found that she was unable to go any further then the edge of the room. "Jupiter be careful. It seems as if there is a barrier here that won't let the rest of us pass," said Mercury as the others tried to get through.
"Usagi," said Makoto.
"Welcome to the day of judgment Makoto," said Usagi as she appeared in here royal dress.
"Usagi, what's going on," asked Makoto.
"Today is the day of final judgment," said Usagi.
"Tell the truth what is going on Usagi? The Usagi I know would never do something like this," said Makoto.
"Alright Makoto. I'll tell you the truth. I'll tell it to your body," said Usagi as she summoned the moon blade.
"Usagi don't," said Makoto as Usagi swung her sword at her. Makoto summonded her blade and managed to defended herself from Usagi's attack.
"The truth is I love you," said Usagi as she began her assulte. "I'm in love with your eyes. Eyes that glisten in the moon light. I could stare for ever in them. I'm in love with your silky smooth hair. I'm in love with your lips that give me kiss. I'm in love with your voice. A voice that lets me listens to your sorrow." Usagi punched Makoto in the stomach. Makoto fell to her knees and pain flooded her sense.
"I'm also in love with your body. But my favorite of all the rest is your heart. A heart that is so full of love and kindness. Oh how I wish that love was meant for me. I love you Makoto. I really do and I can't help but love everything about you," said Usagi as she embraced Makoto. "I don't need anything else in this world. Just you. All I want is one ever lasting night with you, just us. But unfortunately the world is standing in the way of our love. That's why I want to destroy it now. When the world is gone I will be free from chains that scouts have put on me. I will be free of crystal Tokyo. I will be able to love anyone I want, with out any interruptions."
"Usagi please don't do this," said Pluto.
"We can fix everything," said Venus.
"We just need time," said Mercury.
"Quite. This doesn't concern you," said Usagi.
"Usagi why? I know your lying. You must be. The Usagi I know would never do anything to hurt anyone. And even if you did you could live with it. That's why I can't fight back against you. Whatever happened to you must have been my fault. Do what you want to me. But don't kill me while your being dishonest to your self. I couldn't bare it. So why? Why are you acting like this?" asked Makoto as she and Usagi stood up.
"Alright Makoto. The truth," said Usagi. Usagi then shifted her attention to the earth that was seen through the balcony. "Mars…Flame…Sniper" yelled Usagi as she sent the attack hurtling to the earth. Once it hit the earth turned crimson as every human was whipped out. A cry could be heard as the Orochi it self had descended to earth. The world became a desolate area. "HAHAHA. Now are you satisfied? Let us continue," said Usagi as she readied her sword.
The scouts and Makoto just stared in shock as the world they loved had been destroyed. Images of their friends and families that were left one earth haunted them. Everything was gone. In rage and pain Makoto cried as she swung her sword at Usagi. "Yes, that's it Makoto," said Usagi as Makoto continued her assault.
Seeing an opening Usagi swung her blade, nearly missing Makoto's neck. In stead she took the moon pendent, that Makoto wore, for a ride. Usagi's eyes shifted to the falling pendent. As the pendent hit the floor Makoto felt something stick hit her fingers. Makoto looked on in horror as she saw what she had done. Dropping her sword Usagi fell forward, dead from the sword that had pierced her heart. "Usagi," cried Makoto as she fell to her knees with the dead Usagi.
"Usako," cried Tuxedo Mask.
"Makoto," said Mercury.
"It will be alright. Will fix it," said Uranus.
"Usagi…how could I?" said Makoto as she picked up the blade and held it to her neck.
"Makoto don't," cried Ms. Haruna in horror as Makoto began to attempt suicide.
"No Makoto. Please don't," said Usagi as she looked up from her place on Makoto's shoulder. Makoto held Usagi close, not wanting her to go any were else.
"Usagi," said Makoto as tears streamed down her face.
"But how? Usagi," said Mars.
"Usagi," said Neptune as she moved forward, finding the barrier gone. The rest moved forward and gathered around their fallen friend.
"Now I can tell you the truth. Look," said Usagi as she used the silver crystal to show them their memories.
"That's us," said Makoto as the stood behind a golden being.
"That's right. That is us in our previous lives. For we are bound together for all time. It is our job to seal the orochi. We would then rebuild the world to its original form. But in order to accomplish this had to be done by…sacrificing one of us. By offering our power to the Goddess we could restore the world. I killed you. And for that I was never able to forgive my self. My original intention was to destroy the world but then over time that you spent wit me I couldn't do it any more. That is why I never sent the necks to actually destroy anything," said Usagi as their memories played out.
"You did this for me. You saved us in the end," said Makoto.
"From that point on I did whatever I could to get you to hate me. I had to become your enemy because I had to find away for you to kill me. The world shall return to normal. The school, Tokyo will return to its original form," said Usagi.
"But Usagi it doesn't matter because…because you won't," said Makoto as she was unable to finish.
"That's because I wont be apart of it. Usagi Tsukino will no longer be part of this world," said Usagi.
"No, this can't be," said Saturn.
"Usagi you can't go. Your our daughter," said Mrs. Tsukino.
"No I refuse to accept this," said Makoto.
"Don't worry Makoto. You will have everyone with you. All of the scouts and Ami. They will always be their to care for you and look after you," said Usagi as she placed the Jupiter crest in Makoto's hand. "Be happy, Makoto." Usagi then began to shut her eyes.
"Usagi wait. Please tell me," said Makoto.
"What is it?" asked Usagi.
"You said that you loved me. Did you mean it?" said Makoto.
"I did. Form the very first moment I saw you I fell in love with you. I wanted to be with you more then anything else. But the harder I tried to get close to you the further you went away," said Usagi.
"I love you, Usagi," said Makoto.
"Makoto…?" said Mercury quietly she watched the one she loved.
"Thanks for saying, but I know you didn't mean it," said Usagi.
"That's not true. Now I understand what Miyako said, and why I became an orochi. I understand now why I cried when Ami kissed me. It's because I feel in love with you. I was torn between what I thought was right and what I felt was right. Its because I was feeling the same thing," said Makoto.
"No stop. How can you say something like that espcailly since I killed you. I killed you. How can you love me? A person like me doesn't have the right be loved by you. I can't be forgiven for this," said Usagi. Usagi was then silenced as she felt Makoto place her lips on top of hers.
"Usagi we were blind," said Pluto.
"Because you were always so full of life, we were able to draw strength from that," said Saturn.
"But no one ever saw that you were the one that suffered the most," said Venus.
"We did realize, that you were never happy," said Mr. Tsukino.
"But just being around Makoto brought you a secret bliss, didn't?" said Mercury quietly.
Usagi and Makoto broke apart. "Are you ready Makoto?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah," said Makoto as their respective planetary symbols glowed.
The pair descended down to the hellish world of earth. The earth was being ravished by the orohci. Using their strength the girls summoned the last of their strength in order to defeat the Orochi. Once the orochi was destroyed the earth began to turn back. "You guys did it," said a voice.
"Galaxia," said Makoto.
"It's good to see you guys again," said Usagi.
"Hey you guys your alright," said Venus as the rest of the scouts returned from the moon.
"So what's going on now?" asked Healer.
"What about the orochi?" asked Maker.
"The orochi has been defeated," said Pluto.
"The world is returning to its original place. As if the orochi have never existed," said Usagi.
"Makoto," said Mercury softly.
"Ami, I'm so-" but before Makoto was able to finish sentence as the earth had returned to normal. "No," said Makoto.
"Makoto," said Usagi.
"Why?" asked Makoto.
"In order to stop the suffering of this world and return it back to its original form, we have to exchange our lives in feelings. For we are the vessels for the Goddess" said Usagi.
"No I won't let our fate keep use apart because nothing is stronger then our feelings," said Makoto as the winds blew. The winds began to carry usagi up toward the moon. Makoto grabbed Usagi's hand. "Usagi no."
"Makoto, I'll come back to you. I'll reincarnate. But you'll have to find me. Promise me you'll look for me," said Usagi.
"I promise. I don't want to live with out you. Neither memory, nor appearance will matter. I'll find you," said Makoto as she felt Usagi slip out of her hand. Usagi then vanished from the world as it returned to normal.
The world had returned to its original format. The tress, the school, the building were all in their right full place. However something seemed to be missing. "Makoto," said Ami.
"What is it Ami?" asked Makoto.
"I like you," said Ami.
Makoto just stared at in shock as she looked at the girl in front of her. She felt a pang in heart as if something was missing. "I'm sorry Ami," said Makoto.
"How could you reject Ami like that Makoto?" said Minako as she jumped out of the bushes.
"Wait a second you were spying on us?" said Ami.
"Gomen," said Setsuna as she wrapped an arm around her girlfriend.
"But still how could you reject her? I mean you guys are made for each other," said Minako.
"True, you guys are meant for one another. Like I am meant for my princess," said Mamoru.
"I'm sorry but there is someone that I am waiting for," said Makoto.
"Your waiting for some one," said Ami confused.
"Yeah. I don't know who they are or what they look like. But I know that some one is out their that is meant just for me," said Makoto.
"Yeah and she's right in front of you," said Minako.
"Minako," said the rest of the group.
"Gomen," said Minako as everyone laughed.
"Say no more Makoto. You don't need to explain you're self. I can see it in your eyes," said Ami.
"Thanks for understanding Ami," said Makoto as her pendent of the moon shinned in the sunlight.
The years seemed to have ticked by. The group had finished college, some had gotten married, some were engaged and yet one remained single. The cherry blsom festival was in full swing and the group had met up once again to enjoy life. "Hey guys," said Makoto as she walked over and joined the group.
"Hey Makoto," said Ami. Even though they had never gotten together they still remained close friends.
"He Makoto, How are you?" asked Shizuru Haruna-Minzuno.
"I'm pretty good, still in shock over you and Ami getting married," replied Makoto.
"Aren't we all. Besides I thought it was illegal for student teacher relations," snickered Rei.
"Well I'm not exactly her student any more," said Ami blushing.
"Besides when's the big day for you two," asked Shizuru as she pointed to Rei and Hotaru.
"Well, were not exactly sure," said Hotaru as Rei hid her blushing face in her hands.
"Hey guys look what I found," said Minako as she and her wife, Setsuna walked over.
"What did you find?" asked Mamoru as he wrapped an arm around his fireball princess.
"It's an old photo album back from when we were teens," explained Setsuna.
The group enjoyed looking at the old photo album. However there was something that seemed to be missing in each picture. On one page where there were just pictures of Makoto. "Makoto, these pages, their only of you," said Haruka.
"Makoto," said Ami as she saw that her friend was in tears.
"Are you all right?" asked Michiru.
"Yeah. I'm fine. But looking at these pictures, it makes my heart ach. I don't know why but it feels as if something is missing from them. I want to remember what was their. I want to remember what filled this void that is left in my heart," said Makoto.
"Makoto," said Minako as she gave her friend a hug.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me guys," said Makoto. Makoto looked up at the sky. The sun was shinning and yet for some reason the moon was out as well. It was still a considerable amount of time before the moon was suppose to arise any way.
"Why do you think the moon is out so early?" asked a girl to her partner as the walked along the path way.
"Who cares Ms. 69th," said the other before she gave a quick peck on the check to her significant other.
Right along behind the pair was one of the most grouise women that the world had ever seen. Her long blonde hair, that had a pair of pig tails, was fell behind her. "You know that women is really hot," said Haruka as she gazed at the blonde haired Goddess.
"Haruka," said Michiru as she slapped her wife.
"Ow, Michiru what was that for?" asked Haruka.
"What wo…men," said Makoto as she turned to see the stunning blonde beauty. Makoto's darted to the women's neckline. There she found her crest, the crest of Jupiter along the women's neck line. Makoto then shot up and began to run.
"Makoto," called the group.
Makoto kept running until she embraced the women with long blonde meatball headed hair style. The pair stared at each other for a moment. As their lips parted from their kiss, "We will fall in love once again."
Alright that is the end of dark moon raising. I'll leave what happens next up to your imagination. Sorry for any grammar and spelling issues. Yeah I know the ending was the cheap cop out ending from knm. I did base my ending off it along with the the rest of this fic. I do not think it is an exact replica of knm's ending so yeah…don't try to sue is what I'm saying. Again I hold no rights to any of the anime's that I used in this fic. So what did you think? Well I hope you enjoyed it. Look for updates for a Heart of a Warrior. Don't forget to review. Well later peace.
