She padded downstairs and laid her head down on the dining table, "Tired." She whimpered.
She had spent the night in tears, finally falling asleep exhausted.

"You're always tired, Odango." A voice laughed.

Her head shot up, "Mamoru!" She squealed, stopping her impulse to hug him, "What are you
doing here?"

"Vous êtes mon seulement léger en ce monde d'obscurité..." He whispered, staring at her
intently. Her smile faltered, there was something different about him... there was the same
hair. The same face... the same... his eyes... there was something different about his eyes...
she couldn't place it. She knew those eyes... but... he blinked and it was gone, replaced by
his old pair.

"Uh... wha...?" She asked, she couldn't remember what he had said...

Mamoru only laughed, "I said, I was wondering if you would like to go check out the new VR
game with me."

Usagi hesitated, Mamoru had none of his old memories, but there's always time to make new
ones.... Time... what about Time?

"Odango?" He asked and she snapped to attention, "You interested?"

She nodded, "Sure, just let me change."

An hour later, they stood in front of the entrance where hundreds of others stood waiting,
"Wow," Usagi mused,"Lots of people must have wanted to come to the Grand Opening."

Mamoru only smiled and nodded, keeping close to her as they move up the line.

"Mamoru!" A girl squealed, coming up close to him, "Is that you?"

He turned his head and saw a mousey looking girl with brown hair and red eyes. "...."

"Comment pouvez-vous oublier votre soeur?" She asked. (How can you forget your sister?)

"Morgana?" Mamoru gaped.

She frowned, "Anne." But her eyes held a twinkle, "Are you here to play the VR game?" She
directed her question to Usagi who smiled politely and nodded.

"Oh... well, be careful."

"Why?" Usagi frowned, "It's just a game."

Anne leaned forward and said in a conspiratory tone, "I've heard some of the monsters are
real..." The voice was soft, but Mamoru understood.

"À quoi jouez-vous, Morgana ?" He muttered. (What are you playing at, Morgana?)

"Rien, frère cher." Anne smiled, "I'll see you guys later!" (Nothing, brother dear.)

Usagi looked up at Mamoru, "What did you guys say to each other?"

Mamoru shook his head, his eyes distant, "Don't worry about it. Come on, it's our turn." He
would expect this from Drusilla, but never from Morgana... what was she playing at?

Unsure of herself, Usagi followed him through and they both got equipped. Following the
guide, they entered through the gates and she saw her friends, "Hey guys!" She greeted
them, pulling Mamoru with her, "You're here too."

"Yeah..." Rei looked at Mamoru, "I thought you were busy today, Mamoru." She commented,
her eyes drifting downwards where she saw his hands entwined with Usagi's.

"I dragged him out..." Usagi started to explain, but Rei cut her off.

"Come on, let's go kick some VR monster's ass!" She stormed off alone and one by one, the
rest trickled after her, smiling apologetically to Usagi.

Ami tried to explain, "Don't let Rei get to you... she's just..." She shrugged before looking at
Mamoru, "Well, you know how she is."

Usagi nodded, "Yeah..." Rei used to like Mamoru...

"Come on, Odango." Mamoru flashed her a smile, pulling on her hand.

She distangled her hand from his before giving him a mischivious grin, "I bet I'll get more
than you." She said, running ahead. Truth was, she's almost afraid of him. There's something
different about him. Something dark and sinister.

Mamoru's eyes narrowed, there was something about her actions that he didn't like. He
could almost smell the fear radiating from her. She has no need to be afraid. He would never
harm her. Never.

"But are you sure that I wouldn't?" A voice taunted him. He knew that voice. "Hello lover." A
voice whispered seductively into his ear.

Mamoru growled, "Thought you were dead." He turned around to see his brother standing
before him bearing a soft smile.

"How can I be dead when I have a dear brother who loves pounding his big giant cock into
my ass? Hmmm?" He chuckled into Mamoru's ear, his voice growing menacing, "Be careful
with your little Bunny, sweet brother..." He licked Mamoru's ear before disappearing, the
world fading back into view for Mamoru who took off in a shot when he heard the scream.

Usagi cursed when she was thrown back against the wall, "You think for just ONE DAY you
guys could leave me alone?!" She cried, throwing a fireball at the youma, not even bothering
to turn into Sailor Moon. What was the use? It would only hinder her. "Fucking shit!" She
cursed again when she heard footsteps. A quick muttering of Moon Crystal power had her in
full Senshi garb. But in this mode, she couldn't activate her more potent spells, but she
couldn't risk people knowing who she was. Or rather, WHAT she was.

It was the Senshi. Luna must have given them their powers back. She was so angry, she
almost screamed from frustration. More people that she have to protect! Would this never
end? But she kept her calm, she took all her negative energy and concentrated it. At least
she was still able to do one spell as Sailor Moon. She waited as the Senshi kept the youma
at bay, but they couldn't defeat it. It screamed and forced its way to her. She knew it would.
They were all drawn to her spirit. To her purity.

She scoffed at that thought. What purity? She continued to wait until each Senshi was
dispatched, helping every now and then to make sure that their hurt was not too great,
drawing the impact to her own body. Yeah, she was going to feel it in the morning.
"Désespoir!" She cast forth a wind of despair upon the creature. It should be easy to
dispatch it now, she stepped forward to give it a piece of her mind and was surprise that it
managed to backhand her. "Shit." She muttered, standing up. She really hated being Sailor
Moon. Who's idea was it anyways? She shook her head to clear it and too a step towards it
as it did, then she jumped back in shock to see a white rose striking the ground a few inches
from where the youma stood.

"Tuxedo Mask?" She asked, looking around, no. There was a man in a white Arabian garb.
"Who are you?" She asked. He turned his eyes on her and she blinked.

"I am Moonlight Knight, milady." He made a small bow, "Let us dispatch this foul creature
before we go into formalities." He insisted.

She shrugged, "All right." They worked as one and finally she released the most potent spell
she could while in Senshi mode, finally destroying the youma. "Now," She turned to to man,
"Who..." She threw up her hands, "Yep. Just disappear as usual." Shaking her head, she
transformed back and went to the Senshi, touching each in turn, absorbing their hurt and
pain into her own body, transforming them back into civilians. And they always marvel how
great their healing powers were. She snorted. If it wasn't for her bearing their pain, they
wouldn't be able to walk for a week.

"Hey, Usagi." They smiled at her and she braved a smile for their behalf. After all, it wasn't
their fault that they didn't know what was going on.

"It's great to be back!" Makato grinned, flexing her muscles. It's like she did all the work.
Usagi kept her remarks to herself and nodded, smiling back in return.

"Come on, we better get back to the game." Usagi said, wanting very much to just leave this
place and never return. But her Father set the task of protecting this world on her shoulders.
She couldn't. She only wished he never fathered the Fallen ones.

"Usagi!" Rei called for her to stop. "I'm... I'm sorry." She apologized, "I remember now... you
and Mamoru are destined to be together."

Usagi offered her a smile of acceptance, "Yeah, well, if he'd only remember." She said sadly.
They parted their separate ways and Usagi found Mamoru waiting for her near the entrance.

"I bagged fifteen." He smirked, "And you?"

She smiled softly, "One." She didn't care what he would say, she just need his comfort right
now. Slipping her arms around his waist, she leaned into him, eyes close, just wanting to be
held. He didn't protest, wrapping his arms around her in return. She smiled, at least one
thing was going right in her life.

"TSUKINO USAGI!" Kenji stared at his daughter, "What are you doing??"

Usagi pulled away from Mamoru, tears glistening in her eyes. Sometimes she just want to kill
him, "Er..." She played the part of a girl discovered, "Nothing." Absolutely nothing.

"Nothing?" Kenji narrowed his eyes and looked at Mamoru who was restraining his own
anger. Just as she was opening up to him... "Who are you, young man?"

"Da-ad!" Usagi whined, "He's my tutor. The one Mom found for me. He thought that I could
use some relaxation time, since I was studying so hard and all." She pulled on his sleeves,
"Come on, it's getting late. Mom's going to start yelling if we're late for dinner." She looked
at Mamou over her shoulder and smiled apologetically. 'Sorry.' She mouthed, dragging her
'father' away before he embaressed her further.

Mamoru watched her go, his eyes glimmering. She felt so right in his arms. She was his
world... and that bastard dragged her away from him! But he couldn't harm him... he was her
father... in this lifetime.

"Akuma." A voice beckoned to him and he turned to see his Father. The world shifted and
they stood on Hell's ground. "Leave the Bunny be."

Akuma scoffed, "You told me that once. You can tell me that again. It doesn't matter." He
said, disdain in his eyes, "She's mine. And there's nothing you can do about it." He left
without saying another word. He left without seeing the regret in His eyes.

Bwhahahahahahaha... I found a translating site and now I'm playing around with it! ^^ The
French might not be exact, but what the hey, I've included what I wanted to say in English. ^^

Vous êtes mon seulement léger en ce monde d'obscurité = You are my only light in this world
of darkness.

It's only going to get darker as the story progresses...oh! And you'll meet Serenity's brother!
Yay! ^^

It might get confusing in a bit, but I'll try not to put in too many wierd twists like last time.
BTW, Akuma=Mamoru=Endymion. So whenever you see these three names, they're the
same person.

As to the REAL Mamoru, well, you'll see next week! ^^

And as to the questions....

Usagi's dream was really just a dream, not a scene from her past. I originally planned it that
way, but then I decided against it... yeah... I change my mind a lot ^^;; So anyways, Akuma
knew that Serenity's wings were plucked and that she's not mortal because Angels can't be
seen by mortals and Akuma saw Serenity as a mortal... if that doesn't make sense, let me know
and I'll try and clarify it.

Beryl DOES NOT play a part in this story... well... I'm not sure, but she's not in it now. Serenity
IS mortal, but she's "awoken" so she gets some powers... I always hated the fact that Princess
Serenity gets no powers. I mean, she's the CROWN PRINCESS of the Moon Kingdom. That's a
total gyp!

Who plucked her wings? Drusilla, who may or may not have a li'l role later on in the story. I haven't
planned that far ahead yet.

For those that absolutely CAN'T wait for the next chapter - http://herzblut.afraid.org/~ryoangel/
