Betrayal of the heart
Chapter Six: an Angry Princess
After work, Usagi immediately went to see Aino Minako. She had a few questions for the popstar. When Minako let her in, she sat on the couch and said the question that had been haunting her for a few days.
"Are they real?" She asked. Minako turned to look at her, confusion in her eyes.
"Are what real?" She asked.
"These dreams I've been having about Demando in the past life, are they real?" Usagi repeated. Minako sighed and sat down in a chair.
"Yes" she said. Usagi opened her mouth the speak, but Minako held up her hand. "Before you get mad at the rest of us, none of us remembered that far back" She said. "Zoicite just told me the truth today because when I shook Demando's hand, I myself had a flashback of him in the past life. The one who really caused all this pain was Endymione"
"I don't understand" Usagi said, shaking her head. Minako sighed.
"Let me ask you something, in your dreams, it is just you and Demando and you are betrothed, correct?"
"Yes" Usagi replied.
"Well, Endymione drugged you with a love potion, determined to make you his. He is the reason you did not marry Demando, and obviously, you were under the influence of the love potion when he died, which is why the earth and moon were destroyed" Minako explained. Usagi clenched her fists.
"He has ruined my life for the last time. I thought we were meant to be together forever, but I guess I was wrong. He lied to me, and cheated me out of true love" She frowned. "I wonder if he knows what his past life did?"
"I doubt it" Minako said. "I suggest you let Demando regain his memories of the past life, and when he does, explain to him what happened, otherwise, he might not be too happy with you" Usagi realized that Minako was right.
"I must have hurt him badly in the past life" She said. "And it's all Mamoru's fault"
"No Usagi, it's Endymione's fault" Minako said softly. "You are not the same princess that destroyed the world, and He is not the same prince that decieved you, please try to remember that" Usagi sighed.
"This baby should be Demando's than" She said softly.
"Maybe, but a baby is a miracle, and even though Mamoru is a baka, your baby will bring you a bundle of joy when it is born" Minako said. Usagi smiled. Minako was right as usual.
when Usagi got home, she went to her room and collapsed on her bed. It was a lot to think about, but she couldn't believe she had been decieved that way in the past life. She closed her eyes and her mind took her back to the very day that she left Dimande for Endymione.
~Flashback~
Princess Serenity was sitting at her vanity getting ready for dinner with Dimande. She was brushing her hair, and thinking how kind Prince Endymione had been. She wondered if they should invite him to the wedding. Suddenly, her face flushed as she thought of the handsome prince she had met on the Earth, he was gorgeous and he could be hers, if she wanted. Serenity shook her head trying to rid herself of these thoughts. She was in love with Dimande, but the thoughts controlled her and took over her mind. She felt as though she was trapped and couldn't breath.
"Princess, are you ready for dinner?" Dimande asked.
"Why would I have dinner with you?" Serenity asked hotly. "My true love is Endymione, of the Earth kingdom" Inside Serenity was screaming No, Dimande is my true love, but it did not reach her voice. Dimande's face fell, and he wondered if he had heard correctly.
"The wedding is tommorow" He said slowly.
"I don't think so" Serenity said. "I plan to wed Endymione as soon as possible. you are dismissed" Crushed and dejected, Dimande left the room and the moon kingdom, forever.
~End of flashback~
Usagi awoke with a start, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had hurt Dimande beyond repair, how could she have let that potion take control of her like that. She wondered if Demando would ever remember, and if he did, would he forgive her? She decided it was time to pay Mamoru a visit and force him to remember what he had done to her and Dimande, 2000 years ago.
Mamoru Chiba was in his apartment making breakfast, when the doorbell rang. He wiped his hands on a towel and went to answer the door. He was not expecting a very angry Usagi to storm into the apartment.
"Usako, what are you doing here?" He asked. Usagi rolled her eyes.
"Don't call me that" She snapped. "I am here, because I have remembered more of my past life" Mamoru stared at her.
"That's why you're here?" He asked. Usagi nodded.
"You see, it seems that a certain Earth prince bewitched me and gave me a love potion, stealing me a way from my one true love" She said. Mamoru paled. He had remembered this part of his past, and had hoped to leave it behind him. "You were supposed to marry Beryl and instead you went after me, destroying my happiness and hers. You are the reason Beryl attacked the Moon Kingdom, you are the reason the world was destroyed 2000 years ago. I want you out of my life Mamoru, you should have married Hina and let me be" She sighed and turned to go. "I did love you this time though, and you still hurt me" She walked out of the apartment, leaving Mamoru feeling ashamed and alone.
