Another special thanks to Sailormoonforever, for reading the chapters a head of time to ensure they are up to par :o)
Anyway Thanks so much guys for liking this story so far.
I honestly have been going though this chapter a million times I can't do anything else with it so here it is.
I DO NOT OWN SAILOR MOON OR ITS CHARACTERS
Takoyaki, which literally means "fried octopus", is one of my favorite (and popular) Japanese street food. It's a dumpling ball with a soft outer layer of batter, and inside is filled with diced octopus, tenkasu (tenpura scraps), red pickled ginger, konnyaku, dried shrimps and green onion. Not only that, it's served with a topping of mayonnaise, chopped aonori (green laver, or seaweed) and shaved katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna). When eaten freshly cooked, it melts in the mouth and the combination of all the ingriedients in the takoyaki really creates a dynamic flavour
Chapter 7
The girls sat silently against one another "I'm so hungry" Minako whined "I could really go for some Takoyaki" at the mention of food a chorus of grumbling stomachs could be heard
Haruka rubbed the back of her head "I guess we're all pretty hungry"
"We were taken before dinner…so it's been two days without food…oh man I'm starving" Makoto rubbed her stomach as if calming down the beast with in
Rei rubbed her throat "I could go for some water…"
Being the brains of the group, Ami added "We can't go without food or water for very long" she looked around "we need to figure out something…even if it means…" she turned her attention to a rat that ran across the front of their cell
Fallowing her gaze Minako squealed, disgusted "No way! I don't care if I'm on death's door step"
Michiru nodded "I'm sorry but I'm with Minako-chan on this one…"
"You say that now, but wait…A person can live without food for quite some time, usually for many weeks. The body will use its fat and protein stores to help it survive. If a person has a lot of fat stores, they will live longer than a person who has very little fat, so how long a person can survive depends a lot on the person. Of course, if you go without food for a few weeks, you will be very weak since you have been using your own muscles for energy. Water is a different story. A person will die within 3-4 days without water. The size of the person really doesn't make much difference." She looked to her comrades "as we all know, none of us has very much fat" Ami watched the rat as it ran off "we could squeeze water from its body"
Minako covered her mouth, holding back the vomit that was creeping up her throat.
"During my travel to Bagan, Myanmar, the locals taught me how to prepare Rat…its kinda their delicacy" Makoto shrugged "It's honestly not bad, taste kinda like-"
"If you say chicken I swear I'll strangle you" Rei hissed holding her knees to her chest
The girls looked at each other, soon small snorts could be heard which turned in to full blown laughs. Laughter filled the cell, joyful ringing bounced off the cold cell walls as the girls whipped away tears of joy "Thank god Usagi-chan isn't here" Amy laughed "Mako-chan do you remember the time, during the Alan and Ann fiasco, when Usagi-chan forgot her lunch?"
"And fainted on you?" Makoto laughed "That was priceless"
"Wait, Usagi fainted?" Haruka asked concerned
Makoto waved her hand "don't worry, she was fine" she shook her head "you know Usagi-chan she wouldn't last a day let alone an hour without eating"
"How about the time Chibiusa-chan asked everyone butUsagi-chan to make her curry?" Rei laughed "that was an interesting day"
"What happened?" Michiru sat up interested
"Well Chibiusa-chan had to make this curry for her 'parent night' at school, since both Usagi-chans parents were out of town that week they asked Usagi-chan to do it"
Haruka laughed "I'm sure that went over well, Kenco-chan can hardly boil water"
The goddess of love agreed "It didn't go over well, at least not at first. Chibiusa asked everyone of use to help, every one of us that is but Usagi-chan" Minako shook her head
"In the end things worked out" Rei continued smiling "Mind you this all happened before we knew Mamoru-san and Usagi-chan were her future parents, but they pulled through together"
"Like a family" Ami smiled
"The curry was actually good" Makoto said proudly "she really did a great job, made quite a mess and it looked like something your dog would throw up, but it tasted really good"
With a breath Minako shook her head "those were the days"
"It will be alright Minako-chan" Rei placed a comforting hand on Minako's shoulder "we've died and come back…there is nothing we can't handle"
The girls nodded in agreement
"It's good to hear you laugh" came a voice from the shadows. The girls stood quickly
"Who are you?!" Makoto glared darkly as the man as he walked out of the shadows holding a basket
"I'm Officer Azuki…"
Rei gasped "You're the officer that came to my school!" Makoto and Haruka stood protectively in front of their fiery friend
"You can't take her!" Makoto growled
"We won't let you!" Haruka added
Azuki nodded "yes, I'm the one who insisted that you come with me…and I'm very sorry for this" he whispered walking up against the cell bars "I had no clue they were going to do what they did to you…to any of you" he looked to the girls with sympathetic eyes "if I would of known I swear I wouldn't have gone along with it, I'm not here for your friend I promise"
"How do we know you're telling the truth?!" Haruka growled "you drugged us and locked us up here like some worthless creatures and you expect us to just-"
"Haruka" Rei placed her hand out stopping her short temper companion "he's telling the truth" she stared at the officer, his eyes were pleading for her forgiveness
"How do you know?! You can't just trust him"
Rei gave soft smile "it's his eyes…" she walked up to the man and looked up "I forgive you" she whispered
Tears came to the man's eyes as he nodded "when my kids found out that I was responsible for one of the sailor Senshi being taken into custody" he shook his head "you're their role models, they love you guys."
"Tell them that we'll be alright" Ami smiled sweetly, she trusted Rei's judgment if the raven haired teen said the man was trust worthy then so be it.
"So, Azuki-san…what's in the basket?" Minako asked poking her head over her bluenette friends shoulder "Do I smell anpan?" the Senshi of love started to drool as the man pulled out a bag filled with the Danish pasty like buns
"No one knows I'm down here" Azuki whispered "you need to eat these quickly"
"Oh don't worry we will" the blonde snatched the bag from his hands and ran to the other corner of the cell hugging the treats to her chest "oh sweet confections of the gods"
"Here" he handed Rei and Ami three bottles each of water "and this is the for girl on the ground" he handed an ice pack and a pack of band aids "Sorry it isn't much"
"This is more than enough thank you so much" The fire and ice Senshi smiled as their friends sat joyously devouring their buns and drinks, Rei turned to the friendly police officer "can you tell us anything about the man with green hair and pale skin?"
"Daitaro?"
The two girls shrugged "we don't know his name just that he has green hair, a lime green color with sickly pale skin"
"That would be Daitaro" the raven haired man thought for a moment "Don't trust him" Ami and Rei exchanged looks before turning their attention back to Azuki "I know it sounds strange but I swear there's something off about him"
"We've noticed" Ami mumbled
"What do you mean?" Rei asked curiously as Makoto handed her a bun
Azuki looked around "When your identities were discovered the FBI wanted to bring you all in, but only to ask about the most recent battle"
"Galaxia" Rei turned to Ami than back to Azuki
Azuki nodded "yes, but they had no intention on keeping you prisoner" he looked around once more "Their plan was to thank you and promise to keep your identities secret"
"Look what good that did" Haruka snorted as she took a seat next to Rei
"That was the plan, until…Daitaro appeared, he did something to the FBI agents" he shook his head "I don't know what, but after he showed up the FBI changed their mind"
"And now we're here" Rei thought for a moment "so you think this Daitaro guy isn't human?" the raven haired teen placed her hand on her chin "I knew I felt something different about him"
"It would make sense; this place" the blue haired genius looked around her cell "isn't exactly FBI head quarters"
The police officer nodded "You're not in an FBI holding facility, your being kept in Himeji Castle" the girls looked to each other "there's one more thing" he took a breath "they found Sailor Moon…"
---Usagi folded her arms over her chest, Mamoru sat on the ground against the bathroom door hands in his hair "we can't stay here"
Mamoru looked up at his girlfriend "I know, but what else can we do? We can't exactly-"a loud banging noise came from the door
"Mamoru!" it was Motoki "Mamoru!" he frantically yelled banging harder and harder on the door
"What is it Motoki?" Mamoru asked opening the door just a bit
With a breathe the blonde arcade owner said "They're here"
----Sitting in their living room Tsukino Kenji and Tsukino Ikuko turned on their TV
Local super hero Sailor Moon has been discovered today, we are live at the Crown Arcade with Yo Lee
"That's right Kaki I am standing here at a famous teen hang out, where it is said that Sailor Moon is inside holding everyone hostage"
"What?!" Kenji and Ikuko jumped up grabbing their keys as they ran out their front door
"Mom, dad?" Shingo called as he ran out after them "wait for me!"
----Usagi wasn't sure what happened. One minute she was standing in the arcade after exiting the bathroom with Mamoru, and the next she was standing in the middle of the road guns all around her.
Mamoru stood behind the arcade glass banging on it frantically calling out her name as the customers tried to restrain him "She's got him under her control!" yelled one of the male patrons
"No she doesn't you moron!" Motoki screamed trying to pull his friend away from the group of people.
"She must of infected him too!" yelled a woman
"I said LET ME GO!" pulling himself from their arms Mamoru opened the doors, but before he could rush to his lovers side he was pulled away by one of the FBI agents "She's not dangerous! Let me go!"
"You need to come with me sir" the male agent pulled the frantic Mamoru over to where his future in-laws stood.
"Mamoru what's happening?" Ikuko cried holding on to her husband
Mamoru shook his head "I don't know"
"How did they find her?! You were supposed to be keeping her safe!" Kenji growled
Mamoru hung his head, he was right.
Usagi shook as she stared at the men in front of her, there had to be more than a dozen male and female FBI agents, all with weapons ready to end her life in a blink of an eye.
"Usagi!" turning her head to the left she spotted her tearful mother and father along with a frighten Shingo. She looked to a panic-stricken Mamoru,
"Stay there!" she yelled to them "I'm fine, don't do anything stupid" her comment was mostly aimed toward Mamoru, she turned her attention back to the men and woman around her "I mean you no harm, none of us do…just please release my friends and w-we'll leave this planet, we'll never bother you again"
There was silence for a moment
"You would leave for good?" came a woman's voice within the crowd of people who stood behind the agents
Usagi nodded "Yes, return my friends to me and I give you my word we will depart your planet and never return"
"How can we trust you?" a man yelled
Usagi couldn't help the laugh that left her lips "Have we ever given you any reason not to?" The crowd of people fell quiet "I didn't think so"
Before another person could say a word laughter fill the air "You would like that wouldn't you Serenity" Usagi turned to the voice "Can't you see she's using you"
"She's right" came a voice from the crowd "Just let the others go and make them leave!"
"YEA!" the crowd caroused
Daitaro laughed "You're giving her exactly what she wants a chance to get away" he lifted up a piece of paper "in my hands is a document found among her Senshi, the very ones your trying to set free"
"What does it say?!" another voice asked
Usagi stared at the Daitaro with raised eye brows "this document holds the destruction and slavery of the human race!"
"What?!" Usagi yelled as the crowd gasped "That isn't true!" she yelled desperately
"It's a lie!" Mamoru and the Tsukino's screamed
"Who will you side with, the government trying to protect you from these…monsters or the very invaders that plan to take over our planet?"
The crowded began to throw shoes, another objects at Usagi, she turned toward the Daitaro who laughed "I guess you got your answer your highness"
"Who are you?" Usagi's eyes hardened as Daitaro walked past the agents and stood in front of her "How do you know that name?"
"I'll be asking the questions, as for who I am let's just say I'm someone you have never met" he turned to the agents around him "if she so much as moves shot" he turned back to Usagi "Now put down your crystal and step back"
"The crystal won't work for you" she announced "if anyone outside of the royal moon blood line touches it, it will destroy you" she stood her ground staring into his cold eyes "its power will be useless to you"
He laughed "Oh, dear sweet Serenity, I could care less about your pathetic crystal and its power" he shook his head "I have power of my own, power I inherited from my own royal blood line, a blood line which you carelessly destroyed!"
Usagi's eyes widen as she stared at the man
"What? No repose?" the man laughed again, his laugh stopped as Usagi's shocked expression changed to one of sympathy "Don't you dare look at me with those eyes! I do not need nor do I wantyour damn sympathy!"
"I'm sorry" Usagi whispered "I never knew I destroyed your family" she shook her head "I swear to you if I did what you say, I never meant to hurt anyone"
"You did! You killed both my parents you heartless BITCH!" he pushed his green hair out of his face calming himself "now, this is besides the point, put the crystal down and back away or die"
Usagi looked around making eye contact with Mamoru, who nodded. "Regardless of what may have happened between your family and me, this still doesn't give you a right to do what you have done. We have done nothing but protect this planet" she turned her attention back to the man in front of her and nodded "but if this is what they want then…so be it"
"Very wise princess"
Usagi closed her eyes allowing the crystal to float out of her and in to her hands. As she stared at its beautiful silver light she heard a familiar voice yelling her name. Fear gripped Usagi's heart as her head whipped around to see the one person she wished wasn't truly there "Chibiusa" she whispered
"Usagi!" the pink haired sailor scout screamed running up to her "Don't do it Usagi!"
Daitaro smirked "right on time"
"No, NO Chibiusa! Stop!" Usagi screamed as did her parents, brother and Mamoru, but it was too late.
It sounded like thunder as the sounds echoed though out the city, parents and children watched as the smallest moon scout fell to the ground, her body un moving and slowly turning the once gray street a dark crimson.
"NO!" Mamoru screamed running to the fallen child "No" he turned her over, her pale skin and colorless lips staring at him. He frantically looked to her stomach where the bullets shot though, blood pouring over him as if he was being washed by a bottle. Ripping his shirt he placed the cloth over the bleeding area, it was all in vain.
"Oh god" Ikuko covered her mouth tears falling from her eyes as she stared at her future grandchild's motionless body.
Screams could be heard in the background, but the one scream to stand out was one of his daughters "Usagi" Kenji turned his attention to his daughter, at the sound of her name Mamoru looked up eyes becoming wide as tears fell down his face
"NO!" he screamed, they watched as Usagi's crystal fell from her hands, her body hitting the ground with a thud. Blood flowing from her, staining the street.
Knelling next to the fallen moon princess, Daitaro bent down hearing Usagi's soft shallow breaths "it hurts doesn't it" he sneered "now you know what it feels to lose someone important to you!" standing up he turned to the agents and yelled "Get her to the hospital now!"
"No" Kenji yelled standing up ready to run to his daughters aid
"Dad don't!" Shingo cried "they'll kill you too" Brown tearful eyes stared into his father's matching ones, pleading for him to stay.
"What do you want us to do about the other Senshi?" a male agent asked as he looked to the motionless body lying in Mamoru's arms "it looks as if she's family to them, should we let them take it?"
Daitaro's cold answer echoed though Mamoru's ears "dissect it"
"What?!" Mamoru screamed he pulled Chibiusa's cold body against his protectively "You can't have her!" he yelled "she's my dau-"that is all he got out before blacking out.
--Her small body sat on top the cold mettle surface. Her once bight candy like hair was nothing more than a dull rose. The bleeding had stopped, leaving her once sun kissed skin a sickly gray.
A soft voice cut though the silence in the room "I never wanted to hurt anyone!"
"Then you shouldn't have started this project in the first place" Azara hissed "now we have to do what theysay!"
"But she was only a child! A child" Tomoyo shook his head
"It doesn't matter now." Her eyes were cast down in regret
"It doesn't matter now? It doesn't matter?! Aria a little girl died! She was killed because of my research!"
Azara shook her head "Listen to me Tomoyo, we can't let this get to us, if they feel we're starting to have compassion for…for them we'll be kicked off the project! We've worked too hard for something like that to happen" she took a breath "besides have you not noticed how off Daitaro is? He somehow managed to brain wash the whole department! Who knows what he'll do to us if we disobey him!"
Tomoyo nodded, Azara was right. There was something wrong with Daitaro, something different really different about him. Tomoyo looked to the small child lying on the table, his fist formed at his sides "All I wanted to do was just find out who they were; I never wanted this, any of this!"
"Then you should of left your curiosity at the door!" she hissed "I told you nothing good would come of this, but did you listen? NO now stop complaining and get to work!" Azara turned to the body that lay on her table "I'm so sorry little one" she whispered before bring the knife to Chibiusa's delicate skin.
Okay so please Review let me know what you think? And before you ask YES chibiusa is dead, she was killed. If you're upset at this turn of events I am sorry but this is how the story must go. I hated writing this chapter honestly, but the story must go on…and to answer the 'Where is Pluto?' questionsshe will be in the next chapter.
'Why didn't Mamoru do something about Usagi?'he was holding his dead daughter, nothing else at that moment was making any sense. Not only that but he didn't want to let her go, he saw Usagi fall and blood around her, but he couldn't let go of Chibiusa and run to Usagi.
Okay till next time guys :o)
