Day 9

Five days before the competition

3:54 pm. Tsukino Residence

-

"Tokyo's famous reality show kicks off its new season with our best show yet!"

The blare of the TV rudely interrupted her living room and Ikuko Tsukino rolled her eyes towards it. With a soft hum she stirred her tea as she prepared to enter the warzone her son and husband called 'family bonding.'

"Oh my God." Her eyebrows rose calmly as she scuttled into the room, her socked feet gently caressing the wooden floor beneath her.

"Don't be so dramatic dear… its just television." Ikuko sighed quietly towards her teenage son. Her deep blue eyes glanced towards the clock on the far left wall. She wondered where that daughter of hers had gotten too.

"Mom… its Usagi." Shingo's voice brought her back to what her son had been obsessing about. A soft peck planted against her cheek and she smiled as her husband entered. Now they could start their family bonding and have it over with as soon as possible…

"What about your sister?" Ikuko asked turning to the blaring tube and her eyes widened slowly. Shingo slowly turned, the color drained from his face. He was thirteen now and he realized there was many situations in his life that bragging on his sister's shortcomings was a good thing… this was not one of those situations. In fact, he felt something different pass through him… rage. His sisters picture had just been plastered over the television in an advertisement for 'Seduce This', a show he and his buddies loved to make fun of… a show he would never want any of his stupid friends to watch if his big sister was going to be on it.

"Why is Usagi on an advertisement for 'Seduce This?'" Kenji Tsukino asked calmly as he and his wife stared at the television set blaring before them and then there it was again. Usagi's picture. His precious baby girl's picture plastered upon without a doubt the worst reputed television show in all of Tokyo. As a reporter he knew these things to only be cheap television shows that brought out the raunchiest in television executives desperate ploy to grab ratings.

All he heard next was the sharp gasp followed by the sound of expensive breaking china before his rational thought finally exploded.

"Oh my God!" Ikuko cried, hysterics hitting her voice.

"Usagi's going to be on Seduce this…" Shingo said emotionlessly as he looked once again back at the television. "This is the coolest and worst thing I've heard all day." His pale eyes glanced towards the screaming that suddenly started simultaneously. It was his parents. They were both now in hysterics. He thought about joining them for a brief moment than stopped… their yells were enough and they were freaking out fine for all of them.

-

Dejectedly she pushed the wooden door open. She felt empty. It had taken a great effort to wiggle away from them… they looked like they all had something important to tell her but she wasn't in the mood to hear it. She had even stepped on Makoto when the goddess of lightning threw herself on the ground to stop her. Crying. She wanted to cry. A lot.

On her walk home it had occurred to her. She had fallen in love with Chiba, Mamoru. Fallen hard as if she couldn't breathe unless he smiled at her. Every silly cliché she had ever heard in her life, many coming from Minako-chan, hit her hard in the stomach. Love hurts. It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The problem was she had no idea she was in love with him. When did that happen? Was it their first make out session or the fourth? Was it when he stroked her cheek and played with a piece of her hair while laughing at her smeared red lipstick or was it when he attacked her on his sofa? Was it when he first insulted her when she was fourteen on that stupid math test! Tears had gathered in the bottom of her eyes and she felt used… he didn't care for her at all. All he had wanted to do was get rid of her forever… she had become a stint in his daily routine. Angry she threw up her hand. Of all the people to fall in love with she choose uptight Mamoru Chiba! A sob escaped her lips…all she wanted to do was vanish off of the face of the earth.

Her head lifted to spy three sets of eyes looking at her and than the noise hit her ears. It was the first time in her life she saw her family frozen in place, all eyes on her directly and not a single muscle moving. The noise in the background sounded a lot like that idiot producer that had gotten her into this mess. Than she heard the words… "Seduce This" and the jig was up. Cerulean eyes drifted downwards to see tea slowly creaking its way across the wooden floor. Now the tears came. She sucked in a deep breath and silence passed between all of them. The sob broke the air and than her frame fell to the floor with an unceremonious thomp.

"Mommie!" Usagi screeched at the top of her lungs and the two adults rushed towards her, her brother jumping from his position to rush to the front door where his sister had collapsed. This had officially become the worst day of her existence… Mamoru Chiba dumped her without either of them realizing they were in a relationship… her mother broke a piece of her great great grandmother's tea set and her daddy just saw her picture sprawled across a tawdry game show commercial. She had brought shame to her family… some stupid Princess she was. Dying as Sailor Moon over and over… was better than this any day.

-

"You're kidding." That was the sixth time he had said that and it was starting to get on her nerves. Her azure eyes turned to glare at the white fur ball who only shook his head.

"Mamoru-san? All this time… I just don't understand how it can be him…" Luna whispered thoughtfully when suddenly the door to their hideout opened. Luna's eyes lifted as Rei, Ami and Minako stared at the Senshi of Lightning. Minako's eyes widened when the door opened again and a male figure walked through it cautiously.

Ami gasped standing as Rei stood as well, shock coming across her face.

"Makoto-chan…" Minako growled and Makoto walked calmly down the steps, her guest following nervously behind her.

"Motoki-kun has something important to tell us which would explain quite a few things…" Makoto snapped as the three warriors turned to the stunned blonde as his eyes raked across the room. There was silence as he made his decent. It was true that Motoki had known about them being super heroes since that one time when Usagi was 15 and she was forced to transform in front of him to save his life… and it was also true that he had dutifully held their secret since then… but showing him their secret hideout? No matter if Makoto and Motoki were secretly in love with each other and they didn't know it yet Minako was going to hurt both of them. First with chopsticks and than baseball bats. Motoki put a hand on the wall and shook his head.

"This room is amazing… I always wondered why you girls hung out here so much…. Incredible… A secret hideout here in one of my family's shops… unbelievable." Motoki mumbled in appreciation and suddenly he heard a low growl emit from the table in the middle of the room. A hand grasped around his arm and he blinked being pulled next to Makoto's side. Damn her grip was strong.

"Tell them." The Brunette snapped and he gulped slightly. He wasn't sure how Makoto had gotten it out of him… or did he get it out of her first and than blurted out what he knew? For over five years he had kept this secret and he blew it in less than five minutes… It was true he had known theirs for over a good year now, which is why he knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were going to hurt him for this… He had to cut to the point… he always hated beating around the bush. He just hoped in this instance he wasn't going to be a bush and they were not going to beat him…

"I haven't… been completely honest with you girls." He began, his eyes jutting towards the floor and Minako and Rei's eyes widened. Anger now flashed through her.

"Nani?" Minako spat as her form walked towards the one civilian they had let their secrets leak to… the one person they thought they could trust. "What do you mean you haven't been completely honest with us?" Minako's voice growled and Motoki looked up a little surprised. This was not good.

"You mean we've shared with you our greatest secrets and you've been lying to us?" Rei said, shock and fury dripping from her voice as she advanced upon him. Motoki's eyebrows twisted and he shook his head as his hands rose up as if to stop their advances.

"Now wait a minute… that isn't how it sounds… I was sworn to secrecy… I had to protect his identity just like I protected all of yours." Motoki rationalized and Minako glanced at Rei and than black at Motoki, confusion marring her expression. Makoto shook her head as her arms crossed annoyed across her chest.

"Whose identity?" Minako spat and Motoki let out a breath. He glanced pleadingly one last time to Makoto who only shook her head.

"Mamoru is Tuxedo Kamen." Motoki said sturdily turning back to the blonde and raven-haired beauty before him.

Luna and Artemis's jaws dropped a centimeter as Ami's eyes widened. She never detected that with her computer… suddenly the genius's eyes narrowed. Of course she didn't detect it… she never pointed it at him! She growled in frustration at that revelation as silence passed over the room.

Motoki's eyes bounced from girl to girl. None of them were making a response. We're they ok…? His thought was cut off when a disgruntled cry hit his ears.

"NANI!" Minako screeched as her form launched forward and her hands latched onto Motoki's shirt. The force she hit him with made them both tumble towards the ground. Makoto gasped and launched forward to dislodge the blonde. "How could you not tell us that!" Minako was yelling as her hands moved towards his neck. Motoki grabbed onto her hands and tried to fight her off yet she was a lot stronger than he thought.

"I can't believe Mamoru-san is that stupid tuxedo guy…" Rei said with a shake of her head in disbelief. Ami stood.

"It makes perfect sense… he was always spouting things about the planet and how he was its protector… such characteristics of an honorable Prince of Earth…" Ami said with a resolute shake of her head as if she was angry that it had come into light and she had not seen the obvious before her. "He even has sexual tension with Usagi-chan." Ami muttered and four heads turned to stare at the intellect of their group.

"Nani?" Rei asked raising an eyebrow at her and Ami gulped realizing she had everyone's undivided attention. "Sexual Tension… as in attraction… as in most likely Usagi fell for him because they were always making out kind of tension!" Her voice rose on the last words and Ami's mouth fell open a few centimeters as her frame sunk with shock into her chair. Minako blinked and Motoki dislodged her hands from his throat. This was getting confusing. Motoki sat up, pushing the blonde away from him and into Makoto's arms.

"Don't worry… Mamoru won't come near her… he has been having these nightmares about your so called Princess…. In them she threatens Usagi's life if Mamoru gets close to her." Motoki muttered, anger lacing his words and the two cats turned to him. They feared they could take no more shocks… I mean… what the hell…

"Nani?" Minako breathed shocked and Motoki nodded as Rei bent down near him. This was getting insane…

"Why would Mamoru-san have dreams of the Princess threatening to kill Usagi-chan?" Luna asked into the air and Motoki shook his head. Minako put a hand to her forehead. None of this made sense… what the hell was going on? Her azure eyes glanced around the room. Why would Usagi threaten to kill herself? She was the Princess… this was nuts. Oh my goodness… Mamoru had dreams about the Princess? Did he know he was the Prince? Did Usagi have dreams about him?

She had to do something… she had to get them together but how? Finally she rose, determination setting her teeth as the leader of the Senshi made a decision. She would fix this… she was the goddess of love wasn't she? Her eyes glanced to Rei who was staring at her. Ami and Makoto were looking up at her too… they were waiting for her to say something….

"We have to talk to him." Minako finally uttered and no one made a response. Minako nodded in confirmation and the matter was settled… Sailor Venus would make a little visit later that night.

"We need to tell Usagi-chan." Luna's voice cut through her thoughts and Minako nodded as Ami and Rei stepped forward.

"We'll go with Luna…" Rei said calmly and Minako nodded. Now they had their plan… all they didn't know was how the hell this was all going to work out.

"I don't understand… what are you going to tell them?" Motoki asked suspiciously and he rose. He felt it hanging in the air and their looks confirmed it. They were hiding something… something even bigger than his little identity secret. "What are you guys not telling me?"

Ami's eyes glanced towards their leader as Makoto did the same. Minako stared at Motoki unflinching.

"Usagi and Mamoru were lovers in a past life." The blonde stated calmly and Rei's insides did a flip flop. Holy shit… Motoki's eyes widened as he stared into calm azure pools.

"You know… I always thought you guys were insane… now I know it's true!" Motoki growled as he spun on his heel and headed towards the stairs.

"But Motoki!" Makoto cried trying to grab him and he expertly dodged her attempt.

"Usagi is the Princess in Mamoru-san's dreams."

He paused. His eyes glanced at his foot as it hovered over the next step. He had bearly heard that quiet voice but knew it was unmistakably Ami.

"You want into our circle… you want to know the truth? Why we are all really here?" Minako's voice harped onto his ear drums calmly and he stopped, his hand on the handrail with almost a vicelike grip. Slowly his head turned. He wanted to know… wanted to know the truth. These were his friends… his family… Mamoru was his family. Minako stared at him, her arms hung at her side as Rei took a step near her. Their eyes caught and he held his breath. "We are the sworn guardians of Princess Serenity LaHaire… a goddess born on the Moon centuries ago from the goddess Selene." Minako's voice was sturdy and Motoki felt his limbs go to jelly.

"Oh God… Mythology's real…" He grumbled, his throat suddenly going dry.

"Our world… our planets were destroyed by an evil that overtook our queen and

stole the life from her only daughter… she stole it because Serenity had the one thing that it wanted most…" Minako said quietly as she took a step forward. Ami turned and pressed a button on her computer and a picture began to load on it. It was a painting. A rough sketch of the Prince of Earth.

"He was in love with her… because of that love jealousy grew on his planet and was used to infultrate it by a woman named Baryl who had been madly in love with him. Both of them died in the battle. Our modern day Juliet and Romeo you might say." Ami said with a slight sigh and Motoki's legs finally gave way and his frame sunk down to plop upon the white steps.

"Usagi… Usagi is the woman in Mamoru's dreams? The one who told him to get

the crystal… the one who claims to own him?" He asked, anger and skepticism in his voice. Rei growled.

"Look… we don't know! All we know is Usagi is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity and Mamoru is of Prince Endymion… they are suppose to be together… that's all we know and that's all we're going on here!" Her voice snapped, her violet eyes burning with fustration. Motoki's eyebrows furrowed. We're these girls serious?

"What if they don't even love each other?" He cried and Minako's lips pressed together.

"Of course they love each other…" The blonde leader stuttered, the entire room going silent. "They… just don't know it yet." She mumbled with less confidence than she wanted to. Rei's forehead fell into her hand. Oh Lord…

"Oh good gracious…" Motoki spat with a shake of his head as his face covered his hand. This only got more complicated every year…

He stood. Every muscle in his body was tense as he watched the phone conversation occur before him. Slowly and steadily Tokyo Station was heading under… the new season of Seduce This would be their redemption to slipping ratings. As he watched the pupils of his colleague's eyes dilate he realized how much he had poured into this first show… he suddenly realized how stupid that was.

"You are under contract… no we don't want anyone else for the first show." Mr. Kimo sighed into the receiver as his shoulders sagged with invisible weight. "When will we know?" He asked, his voice raw as his vocal cords strained to reframe themselves from screaming into the mouthpiece with full venom. "I understand the complications but I thought that was one of the initial reasons your client agreed… yes… I understand… Yes… I'll hold…" His eyes rose and met the eyes that were bearing down on him. His beefy hand covered the mouthpiece and tore the phone away from his ear.

"We have to have this show go smoothly… Her picture is already plastered across Tokyo… we are not backing down!" Mr. Omoto hissed towards the man in the leather chair who only stared at him with angered eyes. Mr. Kimo's frame shifted as he brought the earpiece back to his ear and his head nodded as words traveled into his brain.

"Fine… we'll be expecting your call. Arigato. Je ne." He plopped the phone resolutely back into it's cradle and his eyes stared at it for a moment. Silence hung through the office until anxiousness could not longer be contained.

"What did they say?" He blurted out and a sigh left Mr. Kimo's lips as he rubbed his fingers across his brow. He was sweating? He glanced up at his partner in crime… Seduce this was going under and as he had thought his partner was crazy for signing that stupid blonde he had steadily been proved wrong. Her picture had only been plastered for a day and half and already she had the attention of Tokyo and electronic mail was flowing in by the hoard.

"They are having complications… it sounds like different parties are pulling them in different directions. There are extenuating circumstances." Mr. Kimo breathed and Mr. Omoto's eyebrows rose as if motioning for his partner to tell him something he did not know.

"Flaky…" Mr. Omoto growled and Mr. Kimo only stared at him, his body rigid. Mr. Omoto glanced at his partner and than blinked. Why was he sitting so straight? "What are the circumstances?"

"They know each other." Mr. Kimo uttered and Mr. Omoto paused. His heart, breath and mind paused at that thought as he leaned forward, his lips parting cautiously.

"Who knows each other?" He asked, each word coming out carefully and Mr. Kimo's eyes fell to his desk and with painstaking slowness he lifted a black and white photo of Tsukino, Usagi and fished through more photos to pull out the one of their chosen celebrity. He held them up before his partner and all of the breath left Mr. Omoto's mouth. His hand rushed to his chest and he stumbled back a step to collapse into a chair a few paces behind him. His eyes lit up with an evil glint.

"How well?" He whispered as Mr. Kimo slowly lowered the photos, the two men's eyes locked on one another. Mr. Kimo raised an eyebrow and gently shook the blonde's picture. The corners of Mr. Omoto's lips curled upwards as adrenaline rushed through his blood. "Perfect. I couldn't have planned this better myself…" His eyes roamed the room as his mind raced with the possibilities. The publicity… the merchandise… the exposure… the exploitation…

Mr. Kimo's eyes glanced at the glossy photo before him and than to the blonde fool they had dupe into their show. His eyes glanced to his scheming partner.

"Seems you've finally found your big scandal sir…" Mr. Kimo muttered and Mr. Omoto's eyes glanced at him and Mr. Kimo saw the excitement flash through them. Mr. Omoto's head shook and he slowly stood, his form leaning over the desk, inching closer towards his partner.

"Scandal… that's not even close to what the first episode of "Seduce This" will be. It will be… history in the making… the creation and break of a person's social life completely. This is Pure Television at its greatest."
