Present
Makoto gave Haruka a 'duh' look. "No, Haruka, she doesn't look like me so she can't be my daughter," Makoto replied sarcastically. "Just don't tell anyone. I'll do it." She turned around and went inside. Upon arrival inside the apartment, Makoto was tackled by Mine. "Hurry up! The ice creams melting!" she exclaimed. "If you don't want it to melt then stop tackling me," Makoto teased as she tickled her. Mine got up and ran into the kitchen for ice cream. Makoto rubbed her head and stood up. Then she noticed the stares she was receiving. "Don't look at me like that. You can't tell me you've never been hyperactive like that," Makoto said.
Then she received glares from Mamoru, Rei, and Ami. "You three are no exception. You've been like that before tragedy struck so I see no difference," Makoto replied as she pointed to the three.
"The difference is I don't even remember. I don't even remember if my name's really Mamoru," Mamoru sulked. Makoto walked up to him and put his head on her shoulder and stroked it. "Well you know what? Cry me a river," she said. " Ouch…dissed by a girl," Daisuke mumbled. She went to the kitchen to find cheery Hotaru and Mine and Minako serving out ice cream. "Are you okay?" Minako grinned. "I heard a thud." Makoto stuck out her tongue at her.
Crystal Tokyo
"Hey, papa, when do you think I can go fight with Uncle Hiro?" Chibi-Usa asked Ichiro after a training session. Ichiro stayed quiet in thought. "Well, his methods aren't working so I guess you can go ask him," Ichiro replied. "Thanks, papa," Chibi-Usa thanked as she gave him a peck on the cheek and ran off. She soon found Hiroshi walking along the corridor.
"Uncle Hiro, when can I come with you to fight?" Chibi-Usa asked as she came to a stop. Hiroshi turned around. "Anytime, Usa," he answered. "Then can I come with you when you're ready?" Chibi-Usa asked. Hiroshi nodded. Chibi-Usa leapt with joy and skipped down the corridor happily back to the sparring arena. 'Now he will pay for what he did. But on the plus side, I get to see my Taru again,' she thought, giggling at the last part.
"So what did Hiroshi say?" Ichiro asked when Chibi-Usa arrived. "He said yes," she replied "So, papa, can I have my sparring partner back?" she asked. Ichiro sighed. "Aren't you exhausted?" he asked. Chibi-Usa shook her head. "You're gonna be the death of me, ya know that?" Ichiro joked. Chibi-Usa giggled and nodded. "Now, c'mon, I need this." Ichiro sighed in defeat and took a battle stance.
In the Present at 1:00
Makoto, Minako, and Mine went to the park after everyone else went home. Mine ran towards the swings as fast as she could. Makoto followed her and placed her on the swing while Minako sat on a bench and watched.
Makoto pushed the child a few times. "Yeah, that's it. Just pump your legs like that," she instructed. They chuckled a bit as Mine almost dropped her glasses a few times. "That's not funny!" she would always exclaim. Soon, they finally they flew away from her. They landed at the feet of a little girl who looked about the same age as Mine. She looked like Minako. She picked them up and stared at them curiously. She knew who they belonged to, but how could they be here? At that thought, she looked around for its owner.
Mine stopped pumping and slowly came to a stop. Minako stared at the girl in shock. Mine got of the swing with a wide grin and ran towards her and embraced her. "Ko Ko!" "Get offa me, Mi Mi," the girl said. "Here's ya glasses." Mine took them. Putting them on, she asked, "What are you doing here?" The girl crossed her arms and asked the same thing. Knowing neither would answer, Mine gave up. When she remembered Makoto and Minako were still there, she grabbed the other girl's hand. "Oh, I want to show you some people," Mine said as she took the girl's hand and led her to Makoto.
"This is my mama," she introduced. Makoto looked at the girl blankly for a few seconds. "Is your name Keiko?" she asked finally. The girl nodded. "How'd ya know?" she asked. Makoto pointed to Minako who was still in a shocked state. "Keiko," she breathed. Instantly, Keiko ran up to her and embraced her. "My early birthday present," they chorused. "What took ya so long?" Keiko teased. "I had to do some things that took longer then expected," Minako answered as she looked towards Makoto's direction.
Then Keiko's stomach growled. "I haven't had anything to eat all day," she blushed. Minako giggled and nodded. She motioned the other two to the car. Keiko took a detour and went to another bench that had a backpack on it. She took it and hopped in the car and they were off. "Looks like we have a runaway," Makoto observed. "Do I have to talk about it?" Keiko asked. "Hai," Minako answered. Keiko huffed as she crossed her arms. "Those people were crazy," Keiko stated, saying nothing more.
They were almost at the apartment when they heard an ear splitting noise. Makoto almost crashed into another car as they swerved towards each other. And guess what? It was at another park. They got out the car they quickly transformed. "Guys, I need you to stay here, okay?" Jupiter asked. The kids nodded and watched as they ran off. "Pfft, like I'm gonna stay here," Mine huffed as she rested her head in her hand. "I'll give 'em five minutes." Keiko nodded.
Meanwhile, the two Senshi arrived at the source of the noise. "Venus, call the others," Jupiter commanded. Venus nodded and took out her communicator. Jupiter looked around the area to try to find Hiroshi. But instead of him she found something else. Or someone else. When Venus looked up, her jaw dropped.
"Hey, guys, what's with the faces?" Chibi-Usa asked as she sat on a branch of a tree. "When did you come, Chibi-Usa?" Jupiter asked finally. "Just now. Naze?"
"There was this weird sound coming from here. Do you know who caused it, though?" Venus asked. "It was me, silly. I mean, who else is here?" Chibi-Usa clarified. "Then if you caused it, then where's Hiroshi?" Jupiter mumbled. Chibi-Usa giggled. "Oh, Uncle Hiro? He said he had some business to attend to in Crystal Tokyo," she explained. "Uncle Hiro?" Jupiter and Venus echoed. "Who's Uncle Hiro?" Uranus asked when the four Outers came. "Chibi-Usa?" Saturn gasped.
"Taru!" Chibi-Usa jumped out the tree and embraced her lover and kissed her passionately. Just then Saturn felt a something snap in her head. She shifted a bit and then broke the kiss altogether. "Is there something wrong, Taru?" Chibi-Usa asked innocently. Saturn shook her head. "Nothing's wrong."
Then the rest of the Senshi, the Prince, and the Princess came, along with Tuxedo Kamen. Moon was first to react. "Chibi-Usa!" she exclaimed as she embraced her. Then Tuxedo felt a growing pain in his head. He looked towards Chibi-Usa who glared at him. Mars and Mercury looked at each in confusion as did the other two warriors. Tuxedo's eyes wide with realization as the pain got worse. Moon finally let go and looked towards Tuxedo. "What's wrong, Mamo-chan?" she asked as he fell to his knees and gripped his head.
"Chibi-Usa, what are you doing to Mamoru?" Jupiter asked. Chibi-Usa changed her expression and faced Jupiter. "What are you talking about, Mako-chan?" she asked. "Don't Mako-chan me. Now answer my question," Jupiter spat. "You still didn't answer mine! Who is the hell is Uncle Hiro!" Uranus exclaimed. "Uncle Hiro?" everyone else asked. "Back to the topic, please," Venus interjected. "I'm not doing anything to him. I mean, why would I? He needs to be alive for me to be born," Chibi-Usa answered.
"I don't know, you tell me," Jupiter said as she looked towards Tuxedo who was still gripping his head. "Besides, there's always the ginzuishou, ne? So answer my question." Then, the pain in Tuxedo's head lessened a bit. "I increased pain in his head that can ultimately kill him within twenty minutes," Chibi-Usa confessed. "Maybe within fifteen if I'm lucky."
"Why would you do that…why would you…kill Mamo-chan?" Moon asked with pure confusion. "You always clung to him, not to mention take up all our time together."
"Pfft, I would do it in a heartbeat," the Prince muttered. Then Mars and the Princess elbowed him in the ribs. "That was before I found out what he was doing. The ass deserves it anyway," Chibi-Usa continued. "He does," the Prince muttered. Then Mars and the Princess back fisted him in the face, which broke his nose. Chibi-Usa turned to Tuxedo who was preparing to get up. "Why are you doing this to me, Chibi-Usa?" he asked. "Don't call me that. You lost your right to," she growled.
"But Chibi-Usa…"
Then something snapped in Saturn's head again. She acted on impulse and pointed her Silence Glaive at Tuxedo. "She told you not to call her that, you bastard," she hissed. "Go, Saturn!" the Prince cheered after he healed his nose. Then Mars and the Princess kneed him in the stomach. "Saturn, what's gotten into you?" Neptune asked. Saturn never answered. She turned to Chibi-Usa. "Do you want me to kill him now?"
"I do!" the Prince exclaimed. Then the two did a combination of all three attacks.
Chibi-Usa shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. Papa wanted to see me after this little visit."
"Don't tell me you're working with the enemy," Mercury sighed. "Then I won't. So let's hurry, Taru." Saturn was about to strike when suddenly…
"Venus Kiss Me Chain!"
All of a sudden, a chain that glowed in a very dark orange wrapped around the Silence Glaive and yanked it up to its owner. "Who was that?" Chibi-Usa asked in wonder. "Don't tell me they left the car," Jupiter mumbled. "Who's they and what did they leave?" Uranus asked in a very confused stated. "That doesn't matter. They have my Silence Glaive," Saturn whined.
"Like we were gonna stay in the car," one familiar voice said. "Oh god," Jupiter mumbled. The two jumped out of the trees they were in. One had a metallic green skirt with a silver tint on the edge. The other had metallic orange skirt with a silver tint on the edge as well. Everyone looked at them blankly. Moon pointed from the two to Jupiter and Venus. "How come they look like you two?" she asked as she turned to Jupiter and Venus. "The one in the green is mine, that's why," Jupiter answered.
"Yours as in…" Jupiter nodded. "And the one in the orange is yours as in…" Venus nodded. "So that means…"
"We are Chibi-Jupiter and Chibi-Venus," Chibi-Jupiter proclaimed. "No wonder they look like Jupiter and Venus," Neptune muttered. "You didn't notice?!" Uranus exclaimed. "Enough of this. Let's go, Taru," Chibi-Usa commanded. Saturn nodded and drew her Silence Glaive back and disappeared with Chibi-Usa. "You two obviously have some explaining to do," Mars spoke as her fuku disappeared. The others powered down as well as the two Chibi Senshi. "Mine is my daughter," Makoto sighed. "Is that a problem?" Mine asked with a little pout. "And this beautiful angel is my daughter, Keiko," Minako beamed.
"Since when!" everyone exclaimed. Makoto counted on her fingers just to irritate Mine. "That's not funny!" Mine exclaimed. "It was five years ago yesterday to be specific."
"And me four years ago to be less specific," Keiko proclaimed. "They're smart for their age," Ami observed. "Some smarter then others," Mine muttered as she nudged Makoto. "You're only five years old," Makoto nudged back. "Age is only a number," Mine nudged back.
"The rebellious mind of a fourteen-year-old in the body of a fiver-year-old," Makoto sighed. "Reminds me of someone I know," Minako giggled. "Besides, if you want to know more, ask the eavesdropping crew over there." The blonde then pointed to Daisuke and Atsuko. "Don't look at me. Last thing I heard was their names," Atsuko replied. "Me, too. Ask those two. They were eavesdropping, too," Daisuke accused.
Then Rei and Usagi turn beet red. "We didn't hear anything beyond the Mamoru problem," Rei mumbled. " Since when did I become the problem?" Mamoru asked. "The day you were born and then reincarnated," Daisuke mumbled. When Mamoru and Daisuke started squabbling and bickering, Makoto looked to Rei and Usagi. Then a smirk stretched across her lips. "Hey, Rei and Usa, are you hiding something from us?" she asked. The two jumped slightly when they heard their names and blushed into a darker red if possible. "W-w-why do you ask?" Usagi stuttered.
Minako caught on. "I mean, you're blushing into a new type of red," she told. "And you're stuttering," Makoto added. "Nothing happened," Rei lied as she tried to suppress the blush with a serious face. Makoto was obviously not convinced. "Whatever," she shrugged. "I'm gonna find anyway."
Just then Daisuke smirked as he bickered with Mamoru. "What are you smirking about?" Mamoru asked with suspicion. (Mako and Mina, do you what to see something funny tonight?) Daisuke asked without facing the two. "We do! We do!" Maine and Keiko exclaimed suddenly. Everyone looked at them with puzzlement. "Telepathy run in the family," Minako explained. "So, Dai, what do you have in mind?" "What are you telling them!" Mamoru asked with frustration. "I'm just gonna say yes anyway," Makoto said. (But I need the cooperation of the kids) Daisuke added. The two looked down at their children who were giving pleading looks. Then they looked back to each other then looked back to Daisuke.
"What do you have in mind?"
At 9:00
The Prince, Mine, and Keiko were in an alley near the Crown Arcade. The two children were taken there by the Prince and were trying their best to stay awake. "Okay, guys, I need you two to stay awake, k?" the Prince asked. The two nodded. "Just cross the street when the light turns green and look scared while holding each others hand. When you see him…"
"We went over this. We'll get it right, just let us go. We're getting tired," Mine complained. The Prince shrugged and jumped out of sight. On the building of the Crown, the Senshi waited. Jupiter, however, held a camcorder. "Why are we here?" Moon yawned. "You'll see," Jupiter reassured. "Why do you have a camcorder?" Uranus asked.
"You'll see."
"Is this gonna work?" Venus asked. "It better," Jupiter replied. Then the Prince landed on the roof. "Where's Mamo-chan?" Moon asked. "He'll be here," the Prince reassured. Then the two children appeared. They looked lost and afraid of the city. It looked like they had tears running down their faces. The light changed and they were about to be dragged with the crowd when just then a rose flew from above and landed at their feet.
"Children belong with their parents, not alone in the streets," a gentle voice said, "Come I'll help you."
The children turned to find a man wearing a long cape over a tuxedo, his features hidden by a top hat and a mask, and in his hand he held a cane. In short, Tuxedo Kamen.
They immediately "panicked."
"AAAA!" they screamed, "It's a pimp! He's trying to steal us away!" Tuxedo looked around anxiously at the now angry adults staring at him. "Guys, I'm not dressed because I'm a pimp! You know I'm Tuxedo…"
Quickly remembering what the Prince had told them, they both delivered a swift kick to the groin. As he staggered back in agony clutching his crotch, the light changed. He jumped out the way before he could get run over by a Mack truck. The two girls ran back into the alley from the crowd. Meanwhile on the roof, everyone laughed as hard as they could even Moon. The Prince picked the girls up and went back on to the roof. "Nice job, girls," the Prince whispered as they drifted off to sleep
"Moon, you do realize your fiancé almost died, ne?" Neptune asked.
Moon was unable to answer because she was laughing so hard between laughs. There was something off about Mamoru now, and after all that had happened up to this day, she was actually questioning Mamoru's love for her.
First off I would like to thank Baka Gaijin30 for letting me borrow a section of the first chapter of Mamoru Must Die! I strongly encourage you to read it, it's too hilarious to pass up. Yeah and it sucks that Hotaru's on the dark side, huh? Well I hope this chapter entertained you guys. Til next time
