Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or its characters.
AN: Yes there is still sailor moon and the senshi, and I added a fun twist to Usagi's personality. Inspired by my aunt.
Summary: After Mamoru and Usagi have a huge fight, Usagi gets into a car accident. She wakes up a month later and doesn't know who Mamoru or the Girls are. She doesn't know what Sailor Moon is or what it means and she thinks she's getting married to Motoki. With a new evil approaching can the Senshi get back their leader and princess or have they lost her forever?
Dedicated to: My mother, who has gone through so much just for her kids, and I want her to know I love and appreciate everything she has done for all of us.
So I'm having a LOT of free time lately which means I'll probably update more frequently than Usual.
"So I was in the biggest pickle of my life!"
Pickles… beautifully crunchy sour pickles, Oh that sounded amazing! Why didn't she have that in her hands right now so she could eat it? Oh she could already taste the chewy crunchy flavor of the mix and it was just making her water at the mouth. Wait she hated pickles! What was wrong with her? Usagi closed her eyes and rested her head on the kitchen table of her mother's kitchen. Her mother's house was buzzing with pre-party chatter as it was her younger brother's birthday. The last two months had been an odd sort, since she found out she was some warrior called Sailor Moon and not to mention she also happened to be the Moon Princess of an ancient civilization that no longer existed. There were also some people whom Luna, get this the talking cat, told her were her guardians she referred to them as the sailor scouts but their identities were unknown for the time being.
She had the pleasure of meeting these scouts on several occasions over the last two month and if Usagi was honest, even though she didn't know who they were she kind of trusted them; she wholeheartedly trusted all of them. She also meet with a masked stranger whom the scouts informed her was also known as Prince Endymion which got Usagi to thinking that maybe in real life he had another Alias just like she was Princess Serenity but her Earth name was Usagi….whoever he was she knew she loved him and he seemed vaguely familiar to her. She just had to figure out or remember who he was. She had her suspicions, One being someone she would not mention and the other was a strange fellow who she meet a month ago named Endy.
"You okay?" A hand was placed gently on her back even without opening her eyes she already knew who it was…he made her heart skip a beat. In three months a lot of things had changed not that she cared to admit any of the changes but there were many of them and one of the changes was the significance of the man before her now….Mamoru.
"Don't touch." She whispered though her tone of voice told him otherwise, his finger began to gently rub her back. Oh those fingers she was becoming so very much familiar with lately, I mean was it even okay to cheat on your fake fiancée with the man you supposedly hated? Apparently their little one night stand turned into a once a week…twice a week….three ti-oh the heck with this whenever they could go at it they went at it and as much as she protested soon after it was over she enjoyed every part of it. At some point she just told the guy that they could be sex buddies and nothing more, nothing else would change although in the back of her mind she knew that was not what she wanted but he didn't seem to protest to her conditions so she wasn't sure if she could.
She also had not quiet broken up with Motoki but she had made progress with getting Minako and Motoki closer. What Usagi wanted was for both of them to be so overwhelmed with what they felt that Minako or Motoki would just say enough is enough and tell her straight up that they were made for one another, because from what she remembered they truly were meant for one another. She made sure to act like a sister towards Motoki and not like a lover lessening the load of his stress.
"Is she okay?" The deep and smooth voice of Yamada Endy sent a strange shiver down her spine; he took a seat beside her, across from Mamoru. She felt Mamoru retreat his hand which she almost complained for but didn't. She could feel Mamoru shift rather uncomfortably in his seat. "Hey bunny, are you okay?" Usagi opened her eyes and lifted herself up from the table, looking into the light blue eyes of the man before her. He bore a strange resemblance to Mamoru, sharp and fine facial feature, thin yet plum lips and short black hair only unlike Mamoru's deep dark ocean blue eyes, Endy's eyes were baby blue almost like looking into the vast and open sky. From the moment they had meet a month ago Usagi had been oddly attracted to this man, it was almost like he beckoned her towards him and his pull was strong and steady because every time she saw him she felt her heart jump and stop in her chest.
"I'm fine." She whispered softly, compared to Mamoru whose head she nearly chewed off. Endy smiled at her leaving her completely breathless. Mamoru said nothing, simply watching her reactions to him feeling his heart ache in his chest. "However I kind of want to be alone." She whispered to him softly and he simply smiled and tapped her shoulder gently before getting up. Usagi turned briskly towards Mamoru her soft expression hardening. "That also means you." She sneered, she watched a smirk cross Mamoru's lips yet a strange lonely expression cross his eyes that almost made her regret speaking to him so harshly. He stood up without a word and left the kitchen leaving her alone.
Was it her or was she more moody than she usually was….she wondered why. She didn't know how long she silently sat in that kitchen going over her odd behavior lately until she heard what sounded like a whispered argument. Perking her ears she found she heard the voices of Motoki and Minako. She leaned a little further towards the door trying to listen to what they were saying.
"No I can't take this anymore!" Minako silently shouted, her voice rising slightly making Usagi grin to herself, she could already picture the scene. Minako wagging her finger in frustration at a troubled looking Motoki.
"I know, me either. This is killing me." Motoki's voice sounded soft; tender the way a man in love spoke to the woman he would give his life for. Usagi smiled had they finally reached a break through? She leaned closer.
"How much longer does it have to be like this, I feel like a criminal sneaking around." Minako whined, oh the poor girl was suffering but it seemed that Usagi's plan had been working over the last three months she should give herself a pat on the shoulder.
"We could tell her right now." Motoki's suggestion nearly made her fall off the chair; did he really just say that? Shy, indecisive Motoki? Wow, Love really changed people didn't it. She heard a small sigh come from Minako.
"No we can't, she has to remember on her own." Minako sounded completely defeated as she reminded her secret lover of Usagi's memory problem.
"I don't care, listen to me Minako. I..I love you." WoW! "I don't want to be apart from you anymore." Someone needed to give that man an award. "I don't want us to be a secret anymore; we are telling her today…right now." So he was aggressive after all! Usagi was silently cheering, flailing her arms around in pure joy and feeling proud for both her friends. The door to the kitchen opened and Usagi had to slide the chair back to the kitchen table and pretend to be interested in her nails…which by the way needed a manicure.
"Hey Usagi-chan." Minako seemed nervous; her eyes looked away from the blond who supposedly sat oblivious to the situation, she took a seat next to Usagi who smiled at her brightly making her feel even worse…they were about to crush Usagi's hopes and dreams she might never believe in love again. Motoki took the seat on the other side of Usagi, his face looked gentle but stern…this was sure to be good Usagi didn't know how long she could hold in her excitement. The moment had finally come.
"Hi Minako, Hey Baby." Usagi took hold of Motoki's hand and he made a rather uncomfortable face, Usagi could die laughing but she held it in….she wondered how this would soon play out. Minako looked devastated on the one hand she wanted her man on the other she didn't want to crush her best friend. Oh she hoped Usagi wouldn't be so crushed about the whole ordeal.
"Usagi…we have something to tell you." Motoki said pushing Usagi's hands gently away, Usagi stared at him innocently although on the inside she was grinning devilishly, would the words really leave their mouths or would she need to give them that last extra push.
"What is it? Has something happened?" She asked turning to Minako whose eyes just darted to the floor…the girl was nervous as heck.
"I-Um…we…How…uh" The words just wouldn't leave the usually talkative Minako and it seemed that Motoki was now having a hard time finding the right words to tell her the truth…she might as well help them out a bit and honestly she was tired of the charade what needed to be done had already been done.
"You guys wouldn't be trying to tell me that before my accident you two were dating and on the verge of becoming a couple but because of a simple joke Motoki and I were playing before the accident I mistook him as my Fiancée and have made it terribly impossible for the two of you to be together until strangely two months ago everything started going well? I mean that's not it right?" The two sat silently watching her completely at a loss for words. They opened and closed their mouths trying to form words that would not leave their lips. Usagi nonchalantly reached forward to the fruit plate and took a grape though she still really wanted that pickle.
"Usagi how did you-" Motoki began but Usagi simply smiled at him somehow stopping him dead in his tracks.
"I may have, kind of remembered who the two of you were about two months ago?" Minako made a kind of squealing sound and Motoki stared at her perplexed.
"Really! You remember- HEY! That's cruel." A suddenly joy and realization coursed through Minako. She was overjoyed at being remembered, annoyed at being played with but she somehow kind of understood what Usagi had done, by remaining silently and secretly helping them she made their relationship develop to new heights, she scoffed gently and smiled. "I see." She whispered then smiled widely. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." She said softly. "But you explain it to Motoki because he seems more lost than ever." Minako laughed at what she said as the two girls turned to the rather lost individual next to them. He made a face of pure confusion which made them laugh a little harder.
"So wait are we in the clear?"
"Yeah, we're all good Onii-Chan." Usagi said gently as she patted his hand, a small smile forming on his lips that went better than he had expected. The three started talking about some nonsense until they decided to move to the living room where everyone was getting ready for the guests who would arrive in a few minutes, they took advantage of the short time to let everyone know that Usagi remembered Motoki and Minako and that she no longer believed that she was engaged to Motoki as well as adding that Motoki and Minako were now officially a couple.
"Does this mean you got tired of us sneaking around?" Mamoru whispered into Usagi's ear making her turn to him with an annoyed look on her face, she smiled at him but her smile was dark. "When are we going to announce us?" He joked and secretly hoped that there was a them
"Chiba, there is no us…there is just casual sex." Though even Usagi didn't believe her own words, there was nothing casual about their relationship. "I told you before; I don't think I need to repeat myself." Although she had to constantly remind herself that there wasn't a 'them'. Endy walked up behind Mamoru placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey so I guess this means your single huh." His words suggested something to Usagi that made butterflies swirl up in her stomach and had Mamoru wishing he could punch the day light out of him. It was more than clear that Endy had his sights on Usagi from the moment they met although Mamoru doubted their meeting was coincidental seeing as Yamada Endy was a great business man known all throughout Japan, he was probably looking to increase his business by getting together with Usagi.
Mamoru wished he could tell Endy that there was no way that he could have Usagi because she was two months Pregnant with his child, but he couldn't because even Usagi didn't know she was Pregnant yet which was strange because once you miss a cycle don't things get odd? But he remembered the girls saying that Usagi was going through her normal cycle while being Pregnant which wasn't uncommon. So she wouldn't even know she was pregnant for another month and he just couldn't go around predicting the future now could he.
"That means I'm single yes." Mamoru clenched his jaw shut and walked away silently leaving Usagi to feel a heavy weight in her chest. She watched him leave before she turned back to Endy. "Why do you ask?" Endy smiled at her and she could already hear him asking her on a date yet her mind traveled towards Mamoru.
"So how about it?" Usagi snapped out of her daze and turned to Endy, she smiled at him and nodded….she could agree to one date, what would one date hurt?
Meanwhile half way across the room the four girls plus one Chibi-Usa were starring in pure shock and horror as Usagi casually flirted with Endy and accepted his request to go on a date with him, in fact when a hurt and heartbroken look cross Mamoru's face Rei and Minako nearly launched themselves at Endy in attempt to pull him as far away from Usagi as possible, suddenly feeling very protective of their Prince however much to their dismay Chibi-Usa pulled unknown strength out of nowhere and stopped them.
"Stop, stopping us, child do you not see what your mother who, may I remind you is pregnant, is doing!" Rei hissed silently into Chibi-Usa's ear which she nonchalantly cleaned as if something annoying had crept inside and began to tickle her ear drum, she had a rather bored expression on her face.
"I don't need you to remind me she's pregnant. I TOLD YOU SHE WAS HAVING SEX!" The last part came out a little too loud which caused several people who had arrived for Shingo's 18th birthday to turn and stare at her, the girls all giving them apologetic looks, Minako went as far as saying the young girl had stolen one of Ami's Nora Robert books, which earned several odd looks from Makoto and Rei and a rather surprising thwack on the head from Ami who seemed furious. "The point is, leave them alone." Chibi-Usa said after everyone seemed to calm down a bit and their voices returned to hushed whispers.
"Who's side are you on?" Makoto asked a little suspicious, Chibi-Usa simply smiled signaling them closer with her finger and the scouts leaned closer to the thirteen year old girl.
"I'm going to reveal another little secret from the future to you girls." The four looked at her seriously; Chibi-Usa first made sure her mother was not around before she continued. "My existence is not going to be completely secure until after an upcoming battle, a month after." The girls stared at her confused. "Oh really! Look right now she's two months along right, well next month there will be a serious battle and depending on how that battle turns out and if she doesn't lose me then around her fourth month she will be told by your Mom Ami that she is pregnant." The girls nodded, but Rei thought back to the initial reason why the whole conversation stared.
"What does that have to do with us keeping Endy away from Usagi?" she asked really frustrated and confused earning an annoyed look from Chibi-Usa, the girls couldn't help but think she looked just like her mother at that moment.
"I was getting there" She said a little pointedly. "Okay my mom will probably be officially dating Endy shortly after a couple of date." Several sounds were of protest began to surface but Chibi-Usa spoke quickly. "But don't worry, He doesn't fall in love with her until they are dating for three months and my mom tells him she's pregnant two months into their relationship which then prompts their lover like relationship into a long term and well founded friendship." The girls silently stared at Chibi-Usa shocked, so technically if all went well they had nothing to worry about, if it didn't they had lots to worry about. Suddenly the four began to understand how the time of her conception could affect the future course of events.
For example if compared to the Original time line because there were no disturbances in their love lives Mamoru and Usagi take charge of Crystal (As if Signifying a Clear future) Tokyo and become Neo King and Queen, but now because of the complications that ensued in a way Silver Tokyo signified a more polished and hard worked for future but still on its track Making her Diamond Queen, as if glistening with maturity and being polished after hardship, which would mean that Chrome Tokyo would be a place of, although peace and prosperity rule, it would signify Serenity's loneliness, Making her white as in emptiness….Minako was already getting a headache trying to wrap her thoughts around the concept while the other three sort of got it.
"Besides in my time Endy is actually Uncle Endy." Chibi-Usa chimed after several minutes of silence. The girls shook their heads unsure of what to think. "Don't worry, my mom doesn't hide her pregnancy from my father, she tells him. The day she finds out is uh….very significant" Chibi-Usa seemed a little uneasy about something as if she was hiding something from them but none of them knew what.
333333333333333333
So one date led to two date which prompted a third date and by date seven Endy asked Usagi to be his girl, to which she agreed too. In the last two months Usagi went from being single to taken, intercourse with Mamoru had ceased and she barely really saw him anymore. She also happened to remember who Ami and Makoto were as her normal friends not as the Senshi seeing as nothing Senshi related had really come back to her yet. A little over a month ago there was a huge battle with one nasty son of a dog which just wouldn't die and kept hitting her hard and the way the senshi were barely letting her get a go at this monster had her thinking they were being a little over protective and after a rather hard hit to the stomach they all seemed to freak out and somehow without her help got rid of the beast. Well two months passed since Shingo's birthday party and now she was seated at the OB/GYN wondering what in the world was wrong with her menstrual cycle because for some reason that month it didn't come. She couldn't be pregnant because the last three months she had her period and she had not had sex for about two months.
"Hello Usagi." Dr. Mizuno's voice had her sitting upright in her chair, she had a blood test a week prior and she was getting the results to the tests now, she was a little worried that she could be sick or something.
"Hey Doc, so what do I have? Am I sick? Some infection?" Doctor Mizuno chuckled softly and handed the paper of her blood test results to Usagi who took it and looked at it. Realization struck her suddenly and she was silent, starring at the paper trying to understand why the word Pregnant was written on it. How far along was she? "Can you determine the weeks?" Although the only thing that really was circulating her thoughts was Mamoru's name.
"That's what we were just about to do, go ahead and lay down for me will you." Usagi got up from her seat and laid down on the bed, she lifted her shirt wincing when the cool gel touched her skin; Dr. Mizuno turned on the Sonogram and then pressed a small device to her stomach. Usagi looked at the form of her child for the first time; a heartbeat could be heard…was a baby which was supposed to be inexistent supposed to have a heart beat? "Looks to me like you're about….four months" Usagi's breath got caught in her throat…whoa wait four…fou-she had to be wrong.
"I-No..Uh, I've had my period for the last three months; I…shouldn't even be pregnant." She explained, Dr. Mizuno smiled, moving the small device around.
"Usagi you may have mistaken vaginal bleeding for your menstrual cycle, you told me before you cycle is very light." Usagi nodded, the doctor turned to her. "Well some women due to hormonal changes tend to bleed vaginally and many have mistaken that for their menstrual cycle. Which is what could have happened in your case?" Usagi stared at her in shock…so she had been pregnant for four months, Usagi nodded gently in understanding. The check up continued and Dr. Mizuno gave her some advice and vitamins she should be taking, Usagi was just so completely dazed that she didn't know when she left the doctors and walked into her house.
She took a seat on the couch and placed the sonogram down on the coffee table, she stared at it. When…Ha-had…she fallen pregnant? Four months, it couldn't have been the very first time could it? What day was today…June 15th. Okay Four months ago…She made love with Mamoru for the first time Valentine's Day…from Feb 14th to March 14th was one month, From March 14th to April 14th was two months From April 14th to May 14th was three months and from May 14th to June 14th was four-Oh God…she had turned four months pregnant the day before.
Which meant she had at that moment Chibi-Usa inside her, a small smile formed on her lips but then another thought struck her…Endymion was the father of Chibi-Usa…Endymion was the Earth Prince, Endymion was the man she had been so desperately looking for….Endymion was "Mamoru" She whispered. As if she had been struck by lightning and the air had been punched out of her, every single memory from the moment she meet Mamoru until the accident almost seven months ago came rushing at her like a bucket of ice cold water.
The images flew by like a film on slow motion, the first time she heard Mamoru's voice, the first time she meet Luna and the girls, her first transformation, learning she was The moon princess, learning she loved Mamoru, meeting Chibi-Usa for the first time, Meeting Setsuna and Haruka and Michiru, Meeting Hotaru, fighting countless evils and inheriting Millions from her uncle. Living and progressing like a normal girl from time to time and the accident. At the end of all of her flashbacks she crouched over holding her head in pain. Tears fell from her eyes as she realized everything that had happened over the last seven months, as she regained every single memory she had lost, regaining everything.
Her heart was in so much pain as she remembered the accident and how she remembered loosing Chibi-Usa, she was angry and hurt, she couldn't possibly tell them she remembered everything. Her hand ran to her stomach and she cried louder, at least her baby was still there, her baby was back. The fight she had with Mamoru came crashing back at her so fast that she found her tears were burning her eyes harder and her cries became louder. She fell to the floor, holding her heart and stomach unable to comprehend or really register it all completely, all she knew was that she was hurt; she was so very…very hurt.
"Puu!" She cried out holding her chest tightly. "Pluto!" she cried again. A flash of light brightly shone beside her before the older woman appeared before her. At the very sight of her broken Princess she was at her side, frantically trying to comfort the broken girl. She took her in her arms and held her, hugged her tightly as she cried against her. Usagi's hands encircled Pluto and held her tightly, held her so desperately that Setsuna could feel her pain clearly as if it was her own.
"Oh my Princess." She said gently, stroking her hair and bringing her closer. She remembered countless times in the old Kingdom when she would hold her princess just like this, she was like an older sister to the Princess, as she had been told many times. "It's alright, Princess." She whispered, Usagi continued to hold her and cry until the tears would no longer come out. She sat silently holding her princess for a good five minutes until she spoke.
"What am I supposed to do now?" She whispered, her voice broken. A loving almost motherly look crossed Sestuna's face as she pulled Usagi into a sitting position, she could see the sadness in the young girls eyes. She smiled at her and sighed.
"Oh my Princess" She whispered softly reaching out and taking hold of her face. "Your duty." Usagi sobbed and looked down, tears falling again, when she looked up again her face had been covered in silent tears.
"Puu I don't want to see him." She whispered through a broken voice, Setsuna said nothing. "But I have an ever stronger need to see him. But He doesn't love me." She cried looking down. Setsuna took hold of her face and made her look up.
"He does, very much." Usagi shook her head. "Then test him." Usagi stared at her confused…how could she test Mamoru. "For now, keep your memories a secret." Setsuna explained "Obviously you will have to tell him you are with child, but don't tell him you remember him, act as if nothing has changed." Usagi stared at her with wonder, leave it to Pluto to know she was pregnant and come up with a way to test the love of her Prince.
"You think that will work?" She asked softly.
"Do you love him?" Tears started falling once more from Usagi and she nodded, God did she love him, even after everything she still loved him. After all it had not been his fault she got into the accident, although the fight was his fault but still she was more hurt with his words and what went down before the accident than the accident itself, and she had Chibi-Usa again so that pain had lessened some. "Okay…I have to go…you have a guest." Almost immediately after the words left Pluto's lips a knock came to her door, Usagi watched Pluto fade away. The knock came again and she had to find her voice.
"Who is it?" She called, drying her eyes as she slowly got up, Endy's voice called back to her….she'd have to get rid of him. She dried her face and straightened her shirt. She opened the door and smiled weakly. "Hello."
"What happened?" He asked placing a small kiss on her cheek, he came with champagne, clearly looking to drink and get lucky. He wasn't getting any of it.
"We need to talk." He barely made it past the front door when the words left her lips. He turned to her, his eyes showing worry. "I'm Pregnant." His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets; he looked shocked and taken back.
"Excuse me?" He scoffed. "We haven't ev-" she cut him off, her face stern but gentle.
"It's not yours." She said softly, her eyes looking at him warmly. "It's the child of the man I love."
"Oh." He said. For some reason he didn't feel angry or upset as he knew he should have been, maybe it was the way she looked at him that made him understand that there was nothing he could do about it. "How about we stay friends then?" she smiled brightly at him, nodding and all he could do was smile back, strange in just two months she had become someone special and important to him and he wagered that if another month had passed he might have fallen for her. "How far along?"
"Four months." He whistled looking at her, she didn't even seem like she was that far along.
"Congratulations." She laughed letting him pass and closing the door behind him. They spent the rest of the night in a strangely comfortable conversation talking about work and love. She told him about this man she loved since she was fourteen and he completely understood what she was going through offering a friendly shoulder if she ever needed it. When he left she sat in silence for a good thirty minutes, when she finally looked at the clock she read ten pm. They would all be at the arcade….
333333333333333333
"Minako do you ever listen to yourself before you talk?" Rei looked at her, in fact everyone looked at her, and she said nothing. "At all?" the others laughed as Minako slumped in her seat. Apparently Chibi-Usa asked what the Capital of Venezuela was and Minako had heard something else or some blond part of her decided to loudly proclaimed the capital was V….let's just say one hour later they still had not let that one go. For about an hour now the girls did notice one thing, Chibi-Usa seems antsy. She kept glancing towards the clock and the front entrance of the Crown Arcade as if she was expecting something but they didn't know what. But when the pink haired girl suddenly froze and looked off in the direction of the entrance they soon figured the reason for her anxiety was her mother.
Usagi walked in looking rather exhausted her eyes dazed and lost in some deep thought. She looked so tired it wasn't even funny. Her usual meatballs were all tucked away in one bun that looked like it had been elegant at some point but now it was rather messy, she wore a long sleeved white shirt that was about two sizes bigger than her and some jeans, flip flop graced her feet. Yet she didn't greet them when she walked in, in fact she headed straight for Mamoru who was two tables away reading something, it was that time of the day or night that he preferred to be alone, her suddenly sitting where he was startled all of them. Chibi-Usa's eyes never left her mother.
"Usa-" Mamoru began but she cut him off getting briskly and quickly to the point.
"I'm Pregnant." Her voice sounded torn between sadness and joy, and to play the part of the girl she was supposed to be a little devastated. "I'm pregnant Mamoru." Well she remembered how she had planned on telling him the first time, how excited she had been to tell him that night. Tears threaten to come cascading down forcing her look away from him. She couldn't look at him, his words circling around in her head.
"Maybe knowing too much messed us up."
She wasn't his love anymore…she was his routine, his to do list, his every day occurrence. Yet for her even now, even with all the pain, looking at him was like looking at a beautiful masterpiece, a breathless sunset, a wondrous painting she could not look away from. But she was his boring, every day routine. As the tears fell and she had to press her hand to her mouth to stop herself from crying out in pain, to her she was heartbroken and shattered. To him, she was crying because she just didn't know what to do next, the cool and in control Usagi was spiraling out of control.
Everyone watched, listening since they weren't speaking in hushed voices. A pained and sorrow filled look cross Chibi-Usa's face, which did catch their attention some. Had Usagi not just said she was Pregnant? So why….why was Chibi-Usa so troubled? So Pained? A small crescent moon shaped necklace around Chibi-Usa's neck began to glow a light silverfis color, but she was unaware of it.
"Chibi-Usa." Ami whispered, gently touching her. When the girl turned to her she pointed to the necklace and when Chibi-Usa saw it, her expression softened and saddened even more, she quickly turned to her parents. The girl looked like she was about to cry. They watched as Usagi got up without a word and began to walk away, but Mamoru quickly stood and reached out, grabbing her gently by the hand making the tears fall faster from Usagi's eyes. Chibi-Usa's necklace began to glow brighter.
"Usagi." Mamoru began, but Usagi turned to him and shook her head.
"Not right now." She whispered, she sounded pained. "I…I just needed to tell you in person." She couldn't look at him, the tears falling faster and faster still. Chibi-Usa's necklace got brighter. "I need to be alone for a little while…." Her voice trailed off as she rather hesitantly pulled her hand from his, almost as if she was silently telling him not to let her go but he didn't understand. Chibi-Usa's necklace got even brighter. The girls didn't know what was more interesting, the scene unfolding before them or Chibi-Usa's brightly glowing jewelry.
Usagi completely pulled away from him and silently without a word to anyone, she walked out of the Arcade, she walked quickly wanting to get out of their sights as soon as possible, from the distance they noticed her hauling a cab. Chibi-Usa's necklace shone intensely. The group was now completely focused on the girl, who had tears falling from her face.
"What's wrong?" Makoto asked as Chibi-Usa tightly clutched the brightly glowing necklace. All attention was on her. Suddenly and without warning the loud and unmistakable sound of two vehicles slamming into one another could be heard in the distance, the impact so intense that the sound vibrated throughout the street reaching their ears. Everyone froze, Usagi had only pulled away a few seconds ago….Chibi-Usa's necklace became impossibly bright and suddenly she began to disappear. Mamoru was the first to react, reaching out to grab a hold of her, reaching out to try and force her to stay but she was disappearing before their very eyes, sobbing silently.
"No…" He whispered as he found she was becoming more air like and less solid. "No…No, no, no, no!" his tears began to fall, this couldn't be happening, not again, Oh god not again. Chibi-Usa looked up, her hands gripping the necklace brightly, she looked like she was in pain.
"Mama…" she cried out silently, she finally lifted her head and looked at Mamoru. "It hurts." She whispered. Mamoru watched as he could do nothing to prevent her from fading away and finally disappearing from his sight. The group stared in horror at the place where she had just been sitting moments earlier, silent for a moment before rushing out of the Arcade and towards the accident.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Despair, Pain, hurt. Nothing felt more excruciating as the tears fell from her eyes. She was so hurt she could barely move. She couldn't believe it, she really didn't want too. How hard and how long had she been crying? How much pain did she have to endure and go through, it wasn't fair it simply wasn't. Her eyes stared up to the night sky, the stars shining brightly, the loud sound of sirens echoing in her ears. Why was she alive? Why did she have to live through so much pain and grief?
Usagi sighed as she landed on her railing, of her apartment. She had never gotten on that cab, for some reason she didn't feel like sitting in a long ride with a stranger. Instead she had gotten into an ally, transformed into Sailor Moon and with her wicked fast speed taken off through the roofs of Tokyo towards her home. She had arrived a little over two minutes after she left the Arcade. She returned to her normal self and opened her Balcony window, walking into her apartment. She didn't know what to do anymore. She headed towards her room, opening the door and turning on the light. The sight that she found nearly startled her to death.
"Chibi-Usa?" she asked as she stared at her daughter, who stood in the middle of her bedroom crying. How did she get there before her? "Baby…what are you doing here? What's wrong?" she asked rushing to her daughter's side, the moment Usagi was close enough the girl wrapped her arms around her and cried into her mother's shoulder, the already vulnerable Usagi cried with her.
"I can feel your pain Mama." She cried holding her mother closer, her words shocked Usagi. "You're hurting real bad." She cried, Usagi said nothing simply held her own tears cascading down. For right now she didn't care how her daughter got there before she did or she seemed to know how she felt, all she knew was that she was currently in the warmest most amazing hug in her life, a hug she had not even noticed she needed.
