Chapter 2
Usagi sat happily as her instructor eyed her strangely. She didn't care though; this was her year…her opportunity to show everyone that she wasn't just some dimwitted blonde, no. Now that Galaxia was taken care of and there seemed to be peace, the savior of love and justice can finally focus on her schooling with no distractions.
"Did you hear Usagi-san aced her exams?"Usagi giggled as she heard the whispers from behind.
"Usagi-chan" came a soft voice, the blonde in question turned smiling brightly at her childhood friend, Naru "I think you gave sensei a heart att-"
"Is it true?!" came a panting voice, Usagi and the rest of the class turned to the door stunned
"Haruna-sensei?" Naru and Usagi said at the same time as they watched the woman breathing heavily "Did she run here?" Naru questioned
"Looks that way" Usagi answered, her eyes wide, surprised
"Is it true?!" Their junior high instructor asked once more "did Tsukino Usagi reallyace her exams?!" The class sweat dropped
"Y-yes Haruna-san…she did" Usagi's current teacher answered
The red headed teacher stalked up to the blonde and snatched the grading sheet, which held her scores, from Usagi's fingers. After a few moments Usagi noticed her former teacher's right eye twitch, soon after the paper fell from her hand…she fainted.
"I think you killed her Usagi-chan" Naru assumed wide eyed
"After all these years…this is all I needed to do to get her off my back?!" Usagi picked up her sheet and grabbed her bag as the bell rang "Let's go Naru-chan"
"B-But what about..."
"She'll be fine" Usagi said pulling her friend away. "I don't want to be here when she wakes up" with that said the blonde and the red head were gone.
---Taking a breath Rei looked out among the many trees that lined her school. It was such a beautiful day, but tomorrow was to be even better. The raven haired teen picked up her cell phone holding it to her ear "what time does your flight come in?" she nodded a twinkle in her violet eyes "she'll be so excited" Rei looked to her watch "oh, yea I have to go…I'll see you tomorrow…bye"
Usagi was defiantly going to be surprised, for weeks Rei had been in contact with a certain raven haired prince. The two had set up a plan, Mamoru would be returning home sooner than expected.
With one last smile Rei turned only stop.
"Hino Rei?" A handsome dark haired police officer stood only a few feet in front of her. Rei looked around feeling the presence of more than just a few police.
"What can I do for you officer?"
Without hesitating the cop said sternly "We're going to need you to come with us quietly"
"Is there something wrong? Is it my grandfather? Is he alright?" she asked becoming worried; she walked up to the man.
"Just come with us and all will be explained" if only she knew that this was the beginning of the end…
---Usagi sat waiting impatiently for Rei, as did her comrades. "This is so unlike Rei, where is she?"
"Maybe she got a detention" Makoto laughed as the others stared at her "what? Usagi-chan scored higher than Ami-chan on our exams…AND she made it here before all of us…anything's possible"
"Hey!" Usagi hissed "I could have gotten scores like this before…but we were all so busy with all those psychos…"
"Ami was able to keep her grade up regardless" Minako teased
"I'm sorry, but Ami has always been a freak of nature"
"True" The Senshi of Jupiter and Venus nodded in agreement
"I'm sitting right here" The bluenette yelled "I am not a freak of nature Usagi-chan"
Usagi stuck her tongue out smiling at her friend "I was only kidding Ami-chan"
Ami nodded "it is strange that Rei-chan is not here…normally she's the first one of us to make it…"
"I hope everything's alright" Usagi worried as the others looked to each other, the same concern masking their faces.
It was then that Usagi's phone began to ring "Hello?" she frowned "alright" hanging up she looked to her friends "that was mom…I have to go" she mumbled
"Awe so soon?" Minako whined
"Sorry, dad's having a coronary" the blonde placed her papers back in her bag
"Gezz Usagi-chan your dad's been spazing an offal lot lately"
"Mako-chan, it's my father…he is a spaze"
"Hey is he still wearing that T-shirt?" Minako asked
"What T-shirt?" Ami and Makoto asked at the same time
Minako laughed as Usagi nodded a look of embarrassment on her face. "A few weeks ago Usagi-chan and yours truly, had to meet Kenji-otosan at the mall…well when we got there he was wearing this shirt that read-"
"Danger overprotective Father" Usagi finished "he even bought a hat that read 'Stay away from my daughter you potential rapist'…" Ami and Makoto busted into a hysterical fit of laughter "you guys suck" standing Usagi glared at her friends "Laugh it up you traders! I have to go"
"Let me walk you home"
Usagi turned around to find Motoki standing behind her "toki-nii-chan you don't have to walk me home all the time"
"Yes I do" he said with a laugh "I promised my best friend I would look after his precious Usako"
Usagi giggled bidding a farewell to her comrades "Call me the moment Rei-chan shows" they nodded as the two blondes turned to leave "let us be off dear knight"
"Right away my lady"
--Coming up to the door Usagi hugged Motoki kissing him on the cheek "thanks Toki-nii-chan" she said softly
"You know he really misses you right?" he reminded her, gently pushing a piece of her blonde hair from her eyes
"I miss him too" she whispered a tear falling
Motoki brushed it away "hey…he'll be home soon"
Usagi nodded ready to reply when her porch light began to turn off and on frantically. The two turned to the large window that sat beside the front door, standing behind it was a very worried, angry…crying Tsukino Kenji. He pointed to a small white sign with his free hand that read "Those who come near my daughter will beshot"to add to the madness he wore a shirt that read "Danger overprotective Father"in big bold letter.
The blonde teen rolled her eyes "okay dad we get your point I'm coming" she yelled but the frantic light continued as more tears fell from the madding father "He's been wearing that shirt for weeks now" she mumbled
Motoki chuckled "man, it's a mystery to me how Mamoru has stayed alive this long…"
Usagi laughed "He hasn't been to the house yet"
Motoki nodded "I can see why" the two laughed once more as Usagi wrapped her arms around her adopted brother; it was then that a banging sound came from the window.
"I should go, please remind the girls to call me if they see Rei" Motoki nodded waving his goodbye. He waited till Usagi was safely in her home, looking to the large window he waved as Kenji held up another sign "I'm watching you" frightened by the menacing glare he was receiving Motoki ran back to the arcade.
Inside the Tsukino house Usagi walked into the large kitchen as her mother was hanging up the phone "Mom, I thought you promised to keep an eye on dad?" she whined slamming down onto a chair, laying her head into her arms
"I'm sorry honey, I was on the phone" she turned to her daughter with sympathetic eyes "what did he do now?"
"He flicked the lights on and off…he banged on the window and he had that stupid sign and shirt on again" she complained
Her mother shook her head as she pulled out a bottle of Tylenol and a glass of water setting it in front of the small blonde
"And you wonder why Mamo-chan hasn't come over yet" Usagi mumbled taking the medication "He's scared out of his mind that dad is going to shoot him on sight"
"It's hard for your father honey, your growing up to be quite a beautiful young woman" Usagi rolled her eyes "I mean look at you sweet heart…you've always been pretty but since your 17th birthday you've developed very well"
Usagi blushed "mom" she whined embarrassed. Her mother was right, since her 17thbirthday Usagi's body took a turn for the better. Her chest had developed nicely, her breast were even bigger than Makoto's. Her hair had taken more of a silver shine to it; she was pleased to see that her body was more curvaceous. She loved her new look, she loved what she was turning into. Mamoru on the other hand had become even more possessive and protective than her father. "Why should it matter? Have I ever given him any reason to worry?"
"Sweet heart it isn't that you've done something wrong…it's just that…well he's a father" she thought for a moment "you'll understand when you have children honey…you'll see…a parent's love is unmoving" she rubbed her thumb over her daughters cheek. Hearing the sobs of her husband she added "And sometimes crazy"
Usagi thought a moment, she thought of Chibiusa, the pink haired little brat that tormented her life when she was 15. Oh but did she love her little pink haired future daughter. She smiled "Your right mom"
Her mother nodded standing up "Oh, I almost forgot have you seen Rei honey?"
Usagi looked to her mom strangely "she was supposed to meet us at the arcade today…but didn't…why?"
"Oh, well her grandfather called earlier asking if you or any of the girls have seen her…apparently she left school during her lunch period and never returned"
Without another word Usagi ran to her room pulling out her communicator "Usagi-chan what's wrong?" Luna asked as she watched Usagi's frantic movements
"Why aren't they answering?" Usagi hissed as she pressed the all call button again "Come on Come on!"
"Usagi-chan" Luna tried again
Usagi ignored the cat as she rushed to her phone, which sat on her night stand, dialing number after number but no reply. "What is going on?!" she yelled "They never ignore a call…" Closing her eyes she search the link she shared with her Senshi….nothing…she turned to her black cat a frown on her face "Luna…something's wrong"
--Motoki held the phone away from his ear "What do you mean they took them?! Took them where?!"
"I don't know…I got back from walking Usagi-chan home and-" he hears Mamoru's sigh of relief "yes, Usagi-chan wasn't there when the men in black came and took the girls"
"I don't understand this" Mamoru mumbled "why would the FBI be after the girls…"He ran his hand through his hair in frustration
"That's not all Mamoru…When they took them…they called them by their…by their Senshi names"
Mamoru became quiet, this couldn't be happening…could it? No, he shook his head, No this couldn't be happening. How did they figure out the senshi's identities?...wait…if they know the identities of the Senshi that means…"Motoki I need you to get to Usako's house now! Take her back to my place make sure no one sees her…"he looked around the airport worried and concerned. Fear gripping at his heart "Please get to Usako's house, explain the situation to her…you need to get her out of that house…if they came after her friends…then she's next"
"Okay" Motoki said grabbing his jacket, bringing the device back to his ear he heard it beep "Mamoru wait a minute I'm getting another call" with a press of the flash button he answered "Hello?" what was left of his smile disappeared. Flashing back to Mamoru he took a breath "Mamoru…That was Usagi"
"Is she alright?"
He could tell his friend was scared "They showed up at her house" he heard a line of curses "She's alright" Mamoru let out a breathe "but she's really scared. I'm leaving now; I'll be at her house in a few moments"
"Okay, keep her safe Motoki"
"Always"
--Banging at the door over and over again he prayed that Usagi's father wouldn't be the one to answer the door. There was no answer "answer the door Usagi!"
Finally the door opened slowly to reveal Ikuko "Motoki-san" she whispered looking around "did you see any cars parked along the road on your way here?" Motoki shook his head "Come in" Motoki did so a bit worried, "Where is she is she alright?" he asked looking around the small entrance hall
"We'll talk upstairs" she said quietly
After locking up the older woman took the young blonde up to her room, opening the door he watched as Usagi walked out from the closet "are they gone?" she asked her blue eye full of fear.
Ikuko nodded "for now"
"Usagi-imouto are you alright?" Motoki asked again,
Usagi turned to him a look of distress on her face "No…They took Luna! Motoki they know who I am…"
Without another word the blonde male pulled the frightened moon princess into his arms "Those were the men that came to the arcade" Motoki mumbled
"What?" she pushed back eyes wide
"Usagi…they took the girls"
