Here's chapter three. Now I not really one for to ask for reviews but I got one and it's been over a few months. So I am wondering if I should even keep this story up. So please review if you want this story to continue.
Chapter Three: It's Been Eight Year's
Chaos was gone. The Starlights had headed home to rebuild and Usagi had kept up her act. She acted like she was happy to have Mamoru's arms around her, she pretended to not know Seiya's feelings and she ignored her own feelings. All for duty.
The truth was she loved Seiya. He had made her happy. Yes she fought and argued a lot with him. He also teased her and annoyed her, but he made her laugh. He made her feel special, worthy and beautiful. Something Mamoru tried to do. But with both their true feelings on each other known, it wasn't the same.
Maybe it is weird that Mamoru held her, and let in her cry the day the Starlights left for back home. He held her and whispered he was sorry. That she had fallen for someone. He had not, so he did not feel the pain she did. But then Usagi told him "I will not regret my feelings, but I will not regret choosing my duty either."
Yes it was true while Usagi was closer to the Outers then really the Inners. Where Minako and Rei have been distant. Seiya brought much tension between the normal, oh so close group.
After saving Hotaru. They grew close. Because they pick up on things the others couldn't. Haruka could tell she hated when they left and worried. Haruka did not know why Usagi felt that way just knew she did. So Haruka made sure to call and send pictures to her princess. Michiru picked up on the fact that she was not quite as dumb as people thought, Hotaru found out about her nightmares when she spent the night after Hotaru was adopted by the Outers.
Setsuna learned about her Emotions sensing, whichs she explain was inherited in the moon kingdom. Through Chibiusa did not have that gift, Setsuna believed it had something to do with her being sent to the future to be reborn. Setsuna also told it would get stronger and when Usagi told it had. She then threw a another bomb on Usag. By telling her, that one day, she would have the gift of healing. which Usagi got after the battle with Chaos.
Then all four picked up on the fact she kept questioning them about how they felt about Hotaru and adopting her? Did they love just same as any child they would have had? They soon found out that Usagi was adopted. They didn't not know of Tohma and neither did her Uncle K, through she didn't know what he did for a living. Usagi knew it had something to do with music, why else would he constantly give her Cd's of great singers.
They also learned Usagi loved to Sing and was great at it. Michiru helped even more with voice lesson. They also sighed her up for guitar lessons, as well as teaching her violin and piano. Through with them gone a lot so she didn't have many lessons on these, But her guitar lesson she had weather they were there or not.
They also shared memories from the moon kingdom, that they remembered all of. They shared the similars she had with Princess Serenity and the differences she had. They were closer than ever and she was happy that the tension that was there from the Starlights, was gone.
Also while they were away which, was a lot. They constantly sent pictures when away and calls were made a lot. Usagi was content with how things were. Even though Minako and Rei had been distant and kind of mean lately, she let it go. On her sixteenth birthday she got a Cd from the Outers of a songs she had written and Michiru sang. Some with Haruka playing in the back ground. Then the CD also had the music video they had made together.
Usagi's Uncle K, had also come and like every year tried to get her a gun. Which once again like every year, her father threw a fit about it. Mamoru proposed and her father agreed. With Uncle K, giving a few threats to the poor boy. Life was good. It all went downhill a week after her birthday.
Minako and Rei had started to ignore her, she was changing, her hair was becoming lavender white and her eyes become silver with specks of blue. Alot of people were freaking out about it. She was being all called nasty names and Minako and Rei ignored her and never once stucked up for her.
Mamoru was supposed to be picking her up for a date but he never came, his motorcycle was hit by a drunk driving killing him. Mamoru had no one but her, so he wound up leaving everything to her. All his belongings and the apartment he bought. She boxed up everything and put them in the guest bedroom and took his shrits wearing them. She also got his car.
While it was true they had talked about being free from destiny. They dreamed about falling in love with other people and marry them Usagi never thought that it come at the price of Mamoru life. Or Usagi never would have thought about. She felt guilt so guilty for living to be free, but the price having been Mamoru life. She was sad and heartbroken that such a guy, the guy she was going to marry and have a child with, the guy she was going to rule with. He was gone. It was a shock and painful that someone she had grown to care very deeply for, was gone.
She fell into a depression. One that worried her parents. She acted the same or at least tried to, but her silver eyes were dull and full of pain. Her laughter was fake and never reached her eyes. She tried so hard. That it was causing her parents pain. She fell to asleep after crying every night. Her parents worried they would found her hanging from her ceiling, or with wrist silt, Usagi tried so hard to not show her pain but it did, and it worried them.
But what broke the camel's back was the beatings that the fan girls, of Mamoru's had taken to giving Usagi for different reasons. Jealous, hate, blame, were the main things. They blamed her for their beloved Mamoru's death. They called her names and attacked her. Minako and Rei while never having attacked her. Never helped like Ami or Lita. Motoki even helped her along with Naru and Umino.
But what made Kenji swallow his pride is when his daughter was thrown into the hospital. From a knife cut from her ankle all the way to her hip. The doctors told them their daughter would forever carry that scar and limp. Usagi knew that the scar was possibility, but the limp would go away in time with her super healing that her body went threw. Through she couldn't tell anyone that. So she was forced to make her parents worry.
Later that night Kenji had told his wife of how he thought it best to send her to Tohma. "Oh but Kenji that will hurt her so.." Kenji glared at the kitchen they were talking at while their daughter rested upstairs sleeping. "I know that, I don't want to! But I think getting away from the memories here will help her move on. You know she won't take that ring off. Plus she constantly getting attack so badly that she was in, the hospital for three days!" He hit his fist on the table and Ikuko eyes softly looked at him, "I know. I think you are right."
Kenji sighed,"I wished I knew how to reach him, I wished I saved that number." Ikuko look of guilt caught him. "What is it dear?" she sighed "That night I grabbed it and wrote in my journal. I had feeling we would need it one day. I just hope it works after all this time." She sighed and went to get the journal.
Coming down with the number. Kenji made the call with his wife holding his hand. Hoping praying that the number worked. "Hello, this is the Uesugi Shrine, Tatsuha speaking." Kenji sighed. "Yes, we are looking for a Tohma Seguchi." The boy sighed, "What is this about?" Kenji held back his anger. "About his sister Us-Serenity." The boy was silent and seemed to be speaking to a women. "Alright well, he not here, but since it's for his sister I will give you his cell number," Ikuko handed him paper and pen at his prompting. writing it down 364-213-4469-340 "thank you very much." Kenji said then called the number.
"Hello." Spoke a tired voice. "Yes is this Tohma Seguchi?" Kenji questioned. "Yes it is what is this about?" The mans voice calm and collected. Kenji sighed, " It is Kenji Tsukino." It was silent for a while. Kenji half expected the boy to retort, he had no sister don't call again, but instead he hear a calm voice ask "Is she okay?"
Kenji did not need to ask who She was. "No, physical she is fine but she going through a rough time and has fallen into a depression. Mr, Seguchi. She needs to get away for awhile." He heard Tohma sighed. "Alright let me make some calls I will get back to you. Pack her up and I will call you back with the information you will need."
Kenji had to bite back his retort on how calm and unconcern Tohma was. "Alright thank you Mr. Seguchi.
Tohma sighed as he hung up. He had not expected them to call after so many years. He especially had not expected that on top of everything else. Eiri was heading home. No doubt back to Shuichi. Tohma continued to pack and then when he was finished he made to call K.
"Yes, K I have job for you. I need you to pick up a girl. At her house. Yes her parents are aware. Bring her to my house when you get her. I will tell you all you need to know when you are back. Yes thank you K." It was going to be a long night Tohma just knew it.
He did not feel like getting in the story his sister, who no one but the Useugi family knew about. Soon as he got off with K he called the Tsukino's back. "Yes, I have one of my band Managers coming, don't worry she will be in good hands. You see I am in New York in the USA right now and as soon I get back I have some workers who urgently need to leave. So Mr. Winchester should be there tomorrow and then heading back to my place." "Thank You" Kenji told the man, the name Winchester did not even register in his brain. "No problem have a good night."
They hung up and went to bed, while Tohma boarded his plane ride home. He of course made the call to let his wife know about Serenity coming, and to set up a room for her. Mika sounded happy and excited, then again she always loved the little girl.
The Tsukino we're not have as easy of a time, with their daughter, as Tohma had with everyone. Usagi cried and screamed and pleaded for them not to send her away. That she would do whatever they wanted to fix what ever happened. But they did not waver on their decision.
"Usagi, it's not that we want you to go, but we think it would help you move on, to be away from all the memories, to get away from all the girls attacking you. You've thrown into the hospital, for godsake!" Shouted her father.
Her mother held her as she cried. "Dear, I know it is hard but you will see us, plus maybe now you can get the closure of your brother's abandon, that you never got." She just shook her head. "No, I don't want to go. My home is here!" Kenji sighed "where are the older girls when we need them." He got up and walked out with his wife. then turning to his daughter, "You're going, your mother has pack your important bag and we'll pack what we can tomorrow before your ride comes. until then sleep."
Kenji left his daughter to cry and wonder what she had done.
The day was chaos and at the Tsukino house, and that's because, of all the packing they had to do, and then it was a godsend because because they found to their surprise it was K coming! He was willing to help pack and wait, for the packing to be done. When he found out it was goddaughter going to stay with Tohma, K was reminded Usagi was adopted. He often times forgot.
Knowing on the door to house he was only too familiar yet didn't know how Tohma knew anyone from there, and he thought he knew everything about his bands. I mean he was NIttle Grasper, manager as well once, yet he never knew of a girl named Serenity. Opening the door was his goddaughter only she had lavender hair and silver eyes with specks of blue in them.
She was in tears and that put her appearances out of his mind he would question her hair and eyes later. For now she needed him. When she had seen him, her eyes widened and she jumped into his arms softly crying."Oh K, they are sending me away." K, just rubbed her back and walked in with her dangling from his arms.
He soon learned that Tohma was her brother, he was shocked, he didn't know why Tohma never talked about her. But he knew why he didn't recognize her name, when K talked about her learned that was because he knew her as Serenity, but everyone else called her Usagi. K helped finish packing Usagi's things and then loaded them into the van, for the three hour drive.
Usagi's parents, promised to visit Usagi soon, and Usagi tried one last time, to stay. Only to stare angrily out the window, she was also hurt. K got a few laughs out of her but found they did not reach her eyes. Must be that finace of her's, maybe they broke up.
Driving on the way there K, was reminded of his curiousity. "So, what did you do to your hair and eyes?" Usagi looked over to him "I just woke up like this. I don't what happened."
K soon drove up to the Seguchi's house, which was more like a manor than a house. Mika came outside to welcome them and boss K around to which room the box went in. As soon as that was done she kicked him out after a hug and kiss to the forehead, to Usagi. Mika questioned Usagi restless about K to learn that he was her godfather. But then she soon left the friendly polite girl alone.
Mika stared at the window it's clear she doesn't want to be here, so why is she. I can't blame the girl for being upset with us. So focus on Eiri and our own lives, that we forgot about her. I would really hurt and angry too. What must she be like now? It is ashame I have to even ask that question. I feel so lost on where to start mending these broken bridges that we burned ourselves. Weather we meant to or not is irrelevant.
Mika thoughts drifted as she stood at the counter in the kitchen staring at the ceiling thinking about Usagi. This won't be easy, especially when she learned about Eiri and Tatsuha still being in our lives she'll be hurt and have every right to be, This was going to get ugly, and worse before getting better I just know it.
Usagi laid on her bed. Mika had said they could decorate the room, how ever Usaig wanted to be alone, but right now Usagi didn't know if she wanted too. I can't believe I'll see him again, I had given up hope to ever see Toh-no Tohma again, and now after eight years later, I will finally get to see him. How should I feel because? right now I feel angry, bitterness and hurt. Are those the right emotions normal for this sort of thing?
Usagi sighed she was started to wish she had accepted Luna offer about coming with her. But Usagi could not take her away from Artemis especially with him feeling so betrayed by MInako and everything. Usagi sighed I wonder how much Tohma has changed?
Falling asleep Usagi was again haunted by her mother's last words of advice. "Don't hold him back."
Please tell me what you think? I'm beginning to wonder if I should even keep up this story.
