Chapter seven : Revealing secrets
Shot through the heart, And you're to blame.
You give love a bad name.
'' Why did you call us all together ?'' Makoto asked while she gazed at the black cat who sat on the ground in front of her. Minako just ignored Makoto's words. She was still mad at the blue haired girl and the brunette. If they weren't going to realise the mistake they had made in saying those things there was no use in talking to them any longer.
Ami just sat there quietly. She wasn't the only one who had noticed the sudden tension between both Rei and Usagi as Minako and them. Maybe Minako had been right and something actually did happen between Rei and Usagi , that would mean the whole future was going to be messed up. What about Chibi-Usa ? What about future Tokyo. Yes Ami was mad at Mamoru too , he really had taken things the wrong way but was it worth losing the lives they were meant to have ?
Artemis who just came walking in the temple sat down next to Luna with a serious look on his face.'' Girls , Luna and I have talked.'' He stated earning complete attention from the senshi.'' We both think it's time you know the truth , the real truth about your past lives and about your future.''
Rei was the first to speak after a few moments of silence.'' What do you mean with the real truth ?'' Ami gave Luna and Artemis a questioing look. As far as she knew they had already been told everything. Was there something they were missing here ?
Luna nodded.'' I know you are confused but before we'll explain all of that we need to talk to you about our future and the future of Tokyo.'' the cat's eyes met those of the blonde princess.'' Since Mamoru and you aren't planning on getting back together we need to think of other options to revive Chibi-Usa.''
'' How do you mean that ? Mamoru is her father , how is it possible to...'' Minako was cut off by Artemis.
'' Minako , please let Luna finish.'' He said. Rei now turned her face to look at Usagi. It had been two days since the blonde had kissed her , two days since they had last talked to eachother. Rei wanted to know what was going to happen next , she wanted to know what Usagi had really meant by kissing her but most important she wanted to tell the other she was sorry.
The look on Usagi's face looked pained as if someone had ripped her heart out. It made the raven haired girl wonder if that look had something to do with the fact they were talking about Mamoru as if it was nothing or because of what had happened between the both of them.
An angel's smile is what you sell,
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell,
Chains of love got a hold on me,
When passion's a prision, you can't break free.
Rei fastly turned her head back to look at Luna when she saw Usagi stare back at her with those empty blue eyes.Those eyes had been so full of life , so full of love. Now there was nothing left anymore.
'' I know you find it impossible to think of the fact Chibi-Usa can still be saved without Mamoru and Usagi having to...'' The black cat was cut off by Ami who started blushing heavily and muttered something under her breath that sounded like ' please don't go there'.
'' Anyway..'' Luna continued.'' The silver crystal has so many mystic powers we don't know yet but I know one of those powers has made is possible for Queen Serenity to get pregnant and to have Serenity. If Usagi wants it badly enough she is able to have childeren without having to...you know.''
'' You mean Usagi is born out of the silver crystal ?'' Minako asked curious. Luna shook her head.
'' No not exactly , yes her existence has been made possible by the power of the crystal but it was Queen Serenity who did the rest , it was a real shock to the moon kingdom when they found out their queen was pregnant without even being married. But the crystal didn't just create Usagi or so said , Serenity.'' Ami nodded. In some way this made sence , she couldn't recall a king of the moon kingdom then.
Usagi just stared at her hands.It was all interesting to hear but she really didn't care about this. She wanted to go home , to be as far away from Rei as possible. Away from this conversation.
You're a loaded gun,
There's nowhere to run,
No one can save me,
The damage is done.
'' So far about our future.'' Rei said trying hard to keep her voice steady and to not let anyone know she was on the verge of breaking down , she had to stay strong.'' What's going to happen to Crystal Tokyo ? I know queen Serenity wasn't able to have childeren in the first place but how's that going to help us built the Future Tokyo Chib-Usa had told us about ?'' The others nodded.
'' Well that's simple actually.'' Artemis continued instead of Luna.'' You all will continue to live the lives you are living now , when the time is right you'll notice as well will Mamoru and the outer senshi , everyone will go through this change while knowing the exact time and place of where to be.'' He paused for a moment.'' It's like the past is repeating itself and so be it , there will be no prince or king to revive the child but..''
'' So you are saying we're going to die again in oder to protect our queen ?'' Minako asked the question sounding stupid to her own ears. Again The white cat shook his head.
'' No I didn't say that , I was talking about the birth of a royal child.'' The blonde love goddess blushed ignoring Makoto who was now looking at her with a smile on her face as if to say she was sorry about what had happened earlier this week.
'' What about..'' Ami couldn't finsih her question because just when she started it Luna had started explaining what she had meant by saying she would tell them about their real past.'' Never mind.'' She added when the cat stopped to listen at her question.
'' Well as you know it's been told a thousand times before about how Endymion and Serenity fell in love and died in the silver millennium but there are things still unsaid , things that really need to be said.'' The cat said earning everyone's attention.
'' This is actaully about the truth based around you and your lovers of that time , the things that went wrong. We've actaully lied about Serenity and Endymion.They never fell in love with eachother , maybe at the end they did , maybe not I never found out. The thing is Endymion's parents and Queen Serenity were good friends and they had promised eachother that when both their childeren were old enough they would get married. Serenity grew up as someone who didn't care about being polite even though she really was , she never listened to her mother when it came to the royal family. She had been digusted of the idea of getting married with someone she didn't even knew. When the yound princess turned sixteen she had decided to sneak out of the palace , to meet people.''
Artemis nodded as he continued for the black cat.'' She met her senshi there. Sailor Mercury , sailor Mars , Jupiter and Venus. She could really get along with them and soon they had become close friends but Sailor mars and Serenity had become very close , not on the way of best friends but more like...'' The cat stopped talking as he noticed the shocked looks on all their faces.He was suprised they hadn't found out themselfs yet.
'' Lovers ?'' Usagi asked. She was the first one to speak. Artemis and Luna simply nodded causing both Rei as Usagi to start blushing heavily. Makoto could almost feel Minako's eyes pierce right through her. Ami just shook her head with a smile on her face. So Minako had been right , they had acted foolish. The blue haired girl was almost sure of the fact Minako had that I-told-you-so look on her face she couldn't help it but giggle.
'' You said you wanted to talk about OUR loves in the past.'' Makoto said getting the cat's attention again who nodded.
'' Yes indeed , you and Sailor Mercury were lovers in that time.'' Artemis answered causing both Makoto and Ami to almost choke in their words. Lovers ? Makoto and Ami had been lovers. It sounded so normal to their ears even though it was the first time for them to hear it.
'' And me ?'' Minako asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
Luna just stared at the ground.'' We never found out , you and Sailor Pluto were really close back then but we've never been sure if you two really shared more than just the love you only felt for a friend. You and Rei eventually became lovers.''
Both Rei and Usagi gazed at the cat's with confused looks on their faces.'' I thought you said I and Serenity had become lovers.'' The raven haired girl stated.
'' Yes you two did but when Sailor mars found out Serenity was engaged to the prince of the earth they broke up. Sailor mars had always suspect Serenity had only used her after that. Maybe that's the reason why you and Usagi can't get along sometimes.'' It made sence , Rei had never figured out in the first place why she always had to tease the blonde girl.Maybe it was just a thing that always had been with her since the silver millennium.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame.
You give love a bad name,
I play my part and you play your game,
You give love a bad name, you give love a bad name.
'' I think that's enough for today.'' Usagi said. She couldn't take this anymore. Even though her mind was screaming for answers she just stood up. As well did the other senshi.
'' She's right , we'd better get home before it gets dark.'' Ami said her eyes never leaving those of the brunette. For the first time in two days Minako had agreed with the blue haired girl as she turned around to walk away followed by Artemis who said his goodbyes to Luna and the other girls.
'' Makoto..?'' Ami whispered so only the taller girl could hear her.
'' Yes Ami ?''
'' Uhm...well..I was...wondering..'' The other started nervously.'' If you...wanted me to walk you home...the streets can be ...pretty...dangerous.'' Well atleast she had said it. Makoto just smiled down at the blue haired girl who was now blushing. Ami knew Makoto was strong enough to fight off any kind of danger herself but the brunette knew what this really was about and nodded her head ' yes'.
'' Goodbye you guys !'' Makoto said as she put an arm around the smaller girl.
'' Goodbye , see you tomorrow.'' Usagi smiled and waved at her friends. oh something told her Ami and Makoto were going to have some kind of sleepover. In the same bed. Without any clothing. Her friends deserved it , after all they had kept their feeling a secret for so long now. It seemed the past that was now revealed had encouraged them to come out. Usagi secretly hoped the same counted for her but she knew she could never have Rei.
Paint your smile on your lips, blood red nails on your finger tips,
A school boy's dream, you act so shy,
Your very fist kiss was your first kiss goodbye.
'' Let's go.'' Luna said as she turned around again ready to walk away. Usagi started walking away from Rei and the temple following the cat but stopped when she heard Rei say her name.
'' Uhm , Usagi...I want to talk to you for a minute.''
The blonde princess looked down at Luna who winked at her and told her it was okay.Usagi was shocked when Luna said she would see her tomorrow again. She wasn't going to spend the night at Rei's if the cat thought that. She decided to strug it off and to think of it as a little mistake.
When Luna started to walk away Usagi turned back to face the raven haired girl who gazed at her with a nervous look on her face.'' Rei...I...'' She started but was cut off when two lips were pressed against hers. This time the raven haired girl was prepared for the blonde princess she loved so dearly.
Usagi went wide eyed but closed her eyes when she noticed she wasn't dreaming and kissed the senshi of fire back with all the passion she had felt for a long time now. Soon their tongues entered eachothers mouths causing them both to feel something they had never experienced before.
You're a loaded gun,
There's nowhere to run,
No one can save me,
The damage is done.
'' Well well.'' Suddenly a voice said. Just when things were starting to get hot , just when Usagi had forgotten all about him and here he was again. They pulled back in total shock turning their heads so they could see the black haired man stand there with a disgusted look on his face.'' I knew something was wrong after I saw Rei at your house that day and this just confirms it all.''
Both swallowed hard. he had caught them , what would happen next ? They weren't even sure what had happened themselfs.Yes they kissed but what had it meant ? And now Mamoru had found out nothing good could come out of it. He just stood there waiting for them to explain , he really seemed to be enjoying this.'' Well ?'' He said causing Usagi to feel hopeless and desperate. How would she know ? She didn't even know the answer herself.
'' What was the question ?'' Rei asked him earning a cold glare from him.
'' You know damn well what the question is.'' He hissed. She simply shook her head.
'' If I knew then why am I asking ?''
'' How long has this been going on ?'' He asked ignoring Rei as he kept his eyes on the small blonde who seemed to be at loss of words.'' I thought you broke up with me because I cheated on you but you...at the same time you were sleeping with others too , not to mention , other girls !''
'' I wasn't !'' Usagi yelled. How could he say such things ? She had always been faithful to him and even if she hadn't been how could he even blame her or get mad at her while he had done the same thing ?
'' I already thought you were taking things too well , you almost had me though miss. Tsukino , but again I prove i'm smarter.'' He said while stepping closer to the almost crying blonde. He enjoyed every moment of it , the fear in her eyes , her trembling lips , her shaking body. He had all forgotten about the raven haired girl by then but was remembered she still stood there when he heard her yell his name.
'' Why don't you just leave ? Can't you see she doesn't want to see you ?'' Rei asked. Mamoru wanted to hit her or scold back at her but decided not to do it. He had found a better way to make Usagi regret the day she ever left him.
'' I will do as you wish.'' He said but before turning away he took one last look at the blonde girl.'' It's not over yet Odango , It has just begun. I will haunt you down wherever you are , i will be there when you turn around , never will I make sure you'll feel save again. I hope you will be able to live with the thought of never being free because I ain't planning on ever stopping to show you just what you lost when you left me and replaced me by...that little whore.'' He said as he pointed at Rei who just ignored his insults and with that he walked away.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame.
You give love a bad name,
I play my part and you play your game,
You give love a bad name you give love...
When he finally was out of sight Usagi fell down on her knees as she started crying loudly. Rei just fell down next to her love and pulled her into a hug trying her best to stop the girl from crying.'' It's Okay Usagi , he didn't mean it...sshhh.'' Usagi just burried her head in Rei's shirt crying her heart out. It didn't matter what Rei said , she knew Mamoru wasn't lying , he was going to haunt her down like an animal and the worst thing was , not even Sailor moon could save her this time. This was something that couldn't be solved. Atleast she thought.
Rei on the other hand thought something completely different. He was going to pay for this the hard way. He could count on that. This wasn't over yet.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame.
You give love a bad name,
I play my part and you play your game,
You give love a bad name.
