Chapter Twelve: Hated
Crystal Tokyo
Chibi-Usa was walking around the palace of Crystal Tokyo. She never got that disturbing image out of her head. She couldn't blame Makoto for what happened. And she didn't. The one to blame was her father…no, some guy who needed to get his fix who somehow became king. She hated every single fiber of his body. His mere presence was enough to make her want to scream and smash her head against the wall.
"Why doesn't he love me anymore? Or mama?" she asked herself. She stopped walking and fell to her knees. Tears trickled down her face. "Why doesn't he love us?" Then a hand placed itself on her shoulder. She turned around and found him. She immediately slapped his hand away.
"You don't pull a stunt like that and think for one secondthat you have the right to touch me!" she growled.
"Chibi-Usa…"
"You don't have the right to call me that anymore," she hissed.
Neo-King Endymion put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, I respect that. But I need you to promise me that you won't tell your mother what happened that day," he pleaded. Chibi-Usa stood up and wiped her tears while laughing hysterically. "And what if I do?" Endymion became furious. He grabbed her arm and gripped it tight. "You are not going to tell your mother! Do you understand me!" he shouted. Chibi-Usa's tears flowed from her eyes.
Endymion then realized what he did. "I'm so sorry, Chibi-Usa…"
"I told you not to call that!" she screamed. "Part of me always knew you didn't love us. I hate myself for believing you whenever you said, 'I love you' or 'You're my favorite two girls in the whole entire world' when you obviously didn't mean anything by it," she cried in a lower tone.
Endymion wanted to place his hand on her cheek but it was slapped away. "I said don't TOUCH ME!" she screamed. Just then Ichiro appeared beside the two. He looked over to Chibi-Usa. "You're coming with me, Small Lady. No questions asked," he informed the pink haired girl. She, however, continued to glare at Endymion. "Anywhere but here is fine with me. Let's go," she commanded. She wiped her tears and grabbed on to Ichiro's hand. He looked at her with blankness for a few seconds when she smiled at him with the smile she used to give Endymion. Then, he gave her a smile in return. She gave Endymion one last look. "The real question here is what if I did?" Then they disappeared.
A few minutes later
"FLAME SNIPER!" Mars shouted. The flaming arrow hit Endymion. "How dare you! Not only do you seduce Mako-chan but you hurt Serenity and Chibi-Usa!"
Serenity was crying in the background as the Senshi attacked him. "SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!" Jupiter yelled. The blast was more powerful then usual. It hit Endymion, causing blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. "Don't you think that was a bit much?" Mercury asked. "Not at all," the other three replied. "Will you even let me explain?" Endymion asked. "What's there to explain?" Serenity cried. "You obviously don't love me!"
Endymion completely forgot how serious the situation got and had a hint of humor in his voice. "I was going to explain how Chibi-Usa was kidnapped…in front of me…and didn't try to escape," he explained with an idiotic voice.
The four gaped at him with disbelief. "And you just stood there?!" Mercury exclaimed. "And you think it's funny?!" Jupiter exclaimed. Endymion pouted. "It sounds so mean when you say it like that," he muttered. "Ladies, you know what to do," Serenity sighed.
"If he's almost dead I get dibs," Jupiter reminded.
Somewhere underground in Crystal Tokyo
"Hello, Chibi-Usa," the woman greeted. Chibi-Usa, without a word, let go of Ichiro's hand and ran up to her and embraced her. "It's nice to see you again, little one."
Chibi-Usa only snuggled closer to her in response. "So, how have you been?" the woman asked. Chibi-Usa's expression changed completely. "Hated by my own father," she mumbled. "Wanna talk about it?" Chibi-Usa was reluctant at first. "You don't have to if you don't want to," the woman said as she stroked her head. Chibi-Usa looked at her eyes and saw the sincerity in them.
"Well…"
Meanwhile, in the Present
Makoto and Minako were at Makoto's door. They had just arrived from the warehouse. Makoto opened the door. Suddenly, everyone jumped out of their hiding place and shouted, "Surprise, Mako-chan!" Makoto was stunned. A bunch of streamers and balloons were everywhere. There was a banner that said, "HAPPY BEST BIRTHDAY!" Everyone was wearing a birthday hat while Daisuke wore two.
Makoto then looked to Minako. "Happy best birthday," she smiled. Makoto was dazed. "Why'd you guys do this for me?" she asked. "Especially after what happened."
"No matter how many ribs or spines that could have been fractured or…" Michiru slapped Haruka's arm. "Sorry, Michi," she apologized. "Anyway, what Ruka's trying to say is that no matter what happens we'll always be there for you," Michiru continued. "Arigatou, minna," Makoto thanked. "C'mon, enough of the sentimental crap! Let's open up some presents!" Hotaru exclaimed. Then she received looks from, namely, Haruka, Setsuna, and Michiru. "I'll be on the couch," Hotaru said as she guided herself to the couch. "But Hotaru's right! Let's open up some presents!" Daisuke exclaimed as he placed the extra hat on Makoto's head.
"But that ruins the whole tradition of birthday celebrations," Minako complained. "Everyone wants to know what the birthday girl and boy got, so what does it matter?" Daisuke explained. Minako let out a light "Whatever" and brought the presents out to living room. "Do I see what I think I see?" Makoto asked as she saw karaoke. "Unless you're blind then I think you do," Atsuko quipped.
"Karaoke now, presents later," she commanded. Everyone sighed and shrugged. Daisuke whispered something in Makoto's ear. She laughed a bit and nodded.
"Daisuke's up first," Makoto announced. Everyone nodded and took their seats. Makoto and Minako sat on the floor as Minako sat in between Makoto's legs. Mamoru eyed them for a few seconds with jealousy. Usagi caught a glimpse of that from the corner of her eye.
"Okay, guys, I dedicate this song to Mamoru. Please, minna, give it up for our very own Chiba Mamoru," Daisuke announced. Mamoru felt happy as Daisuke realized his superiority. Everyone else clapped. Then the song started.
When he is down and oh, his soul so weary
When trouble come and his heart burdens him
You can see me lurking in the silence
So you can see me end his misery
I pushed him down, off the cliff of a mountain
I pushed him down, to drown in stormy seas
He's so weak; I pushed him off my shoulders
I pushed him down, so he could eat the dirt
Everyone burst into laughter. Makoto and Minako lied on the floor as Usagi hugged Rei for support so she wouldn't fall on the floor. Haruka and Michiru rested their heads on each others shoulder to muffle their laughter.
Hotaru was sprawled on the floor, gripping her stomach from the pain as Setsuna and Ami held on to each other. "C'mon, minna, sing along," Daisuke encouraged.
Everyone regained their composure and sang along.
We pushed him down, off the cliff of a mountain
We pushed him down, to drown in stormy seas
He's so weak; we pushed him off our shoulders
We pushed him down, so he could eat the dirt.
Then the song ended with everyone exploding with laughter. Mamoru, on the other hand, was furious. Daisuke gave him an innocent look. "Nani? I just couldn't resist," he explained just as innocently.
Mamoru sighed with anger and composed himself. "That's it, Mamoru. That what we need, a good sport," Daisuke mocked. Mamoru's smile was obviously fake. "I think that's what Mamoru's 'I'm gonna kick your ass' face looks like so let's go on to presents, shall we?" Makoto suggested.
Haruka was the first to respond to this. She gave her keys. Makoto gasped. "You didn't!" Haruka nodded. "Are you serious!" Haruka nodded. Makoto was about to say something else when Haruka stopped her.
"If you don't shut up, I will slap you and take back the keys," she warned with a smile. "Is that any way to speak to the birthday girl?" Makoto pouted. "It is if you want the car."
Makoto stuck her tongue out her and put the keys inside her shirt, in between her breasts. She stuck out her tongue again and ran outside to see her car.
When she got out to the parking lot, she could've fainted then and there. It was a Mazda convertible with a removable hood that she had been eyeing since she got her driver's license. And what's more, Haruka made some modifications. The car was green with streaks of thunder with what looked like the Love Me Chain tangled together on one side and two dragons tangled together on the other.
"Remember that newspaper ad that had the car?" Haruka asked. Makoto merely nodded. "And how you doodled the designs?" Makoto nodded again. "Well, I bought this thing months ago and did the designs by myself."
"But what's with Venus's Love Me Chain?" Makoto asked. "I thought you and Minako would have hook up by now and look how right I was," Haruka answered. Without really thinking, Makoto lunged herself at Haruka. "Thank you, Haruka-san! I love it!" Haruka gave Makoto a pat on the back. "Dou itashimashite," she said. "Now can you get off me? I'm starting to feel light-headed."
Makoto immediately let go. "Sorry. Well, let's back upstairs before everyone starts to wonder," she said as they went back inside.
In Crystal Tokyo
The woman gasped. "Seriously?" Chibi-Usa was sitting on her lap, telling her about happened on that day. "Endymion doesn't look like the type to do that," the woman said.
"Well, he does now," Chibi-Usa shrugged. Then a thought struck the woman. 'Endymion must be the reason,' the woman thought. Then a smirk stretched across her lips. "Chibi-Usa, I know this might sound a little forward but how would you feel if I asked you if you to become my apprentice?" she asked. Chibi-Usa stayed quiet for a minute in thought. "It doesn't sound too bad, I'll give you that…what would be in it for me?" she asked.
"Revenge, basically. And power, lots of that, and even a certain Senshi of Destruction and Rebirth," the woman answered the last part with a sing-song voice. Chibi-Usa's attitude changed to excitement. "Are you serious? Because you know the good turned evil types usually lie to get what they want," she reminded. The woman nodded. "I see where you're coming from. But you know I'm capable of making things happen. I mean, my profession was bringing people together," she reminded.
"I guess I'll do it. But on one condition," Chibi-Usa decided. "And what would that be?" "If I can call that Ichiro guy 'papa'," Chibi-Usa grinned. "He seems like a nice guy, despite being evil and stuff. He'd probably be a better papa than him." The woman smiled. "Of course. Now cover your ears. I might deafen you," she told. Chibi-Usa obeyed. "Hiroshi!" the woman called.
Hiroshi appeared. "Your Majesty," he responded. "New target. Get Tuxedo Kamen. And wish Jupiter a happy birthday," the woman commanded. "Hai," Hiroshi replied. He was about to leave when he was stopped. "One more thing, Hiroshi," the woman added. "Meet your niece, Chibi-Usa." He looked at the pink haired girl. Then he smiled. "Hello, Usa," he greeted. "Hi, Uncle Hiro," Chibi-Usa smiled in return.
Then Ichiro appeared. "I was wondering, Your Majesty, since Small Lady is staying here for a while, I thought maybe I could train her," he offered. The woman looked at Chibi-Usa who got off her lap. "When does training start, papa?" she asked as she took his hand into her own. Ichiro blinked at her blankly for a few seconds. "Whenever you're ready, Usa," he smiled.
"Then let's go."
In the Present at around 7:00
"That was eventful," Makoto sighed. Minako nodded. The two were cleaning up the apartment after the party. They were currently waiting for everyone to return for the second sleepover. "Can't wait for my birthday," Minako sighed. Makoto then knew something was wrong again. Before, Makoto could say anything, Minako forced her to sit on the recliner. "Minako, what are you…"
Makoto was silenced by Minako as she pressed her lips against hers. She attacked her lover's lips with hunger and desire. Minako started to unbutton Makoto's shirt. Then Makoto stopped her. "What's gotten into you?" she panted. Minako stood and sat on the other couch with shame and embarrassment. Makoto tilted her and slightly.
"I wanted to give you something else for your birthday…something special," Minako replied quietly. "I asked myself what I would get as everyone left. Mamoru overheard me and…"
"Mamoru said we should do the deed?" Makoto asked. Minako blushed into a semi-bright red and nodded slightly. Makoto went up to Minako and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Minako. You've already given me something special," she said. "And what's that?" Minako asked.
"You."
She was an inch away from Minako's lips when the communicator started to beep. Makoto hung her head and sighed. Minako found her communicator and turned it on.
"Youma in park near Mako-chan's. Mako, hurry," Mars told. "Mars out."
"To the park we go," Minako sighed.
At the park
Hiroshi was hovering over a bench. But Jupiter and Venus's attention were on the Prince. He was attacking Tuxedo Kamen. With those red eyes. Ares took over. Before Hiroshi left, he said, "Happy birthday."
That was the twelfth chapter…finally. I'm getting excited though because I'm nearing the twentieth chapter! I just can't wait! Oh and that song, the first part I made up and the rest my friends did.Til next time
