Chapter 4: Premonition

Author's Note: Thank you guys so much for the reviews! It's been a while since I last wrote anything, so I appreciate all the criticism and suggestions. : ) Keep them coming!

Dark blue eyes clashed with dark blue once Seiya turned towards the elevator. A small smirk appeared on his face as brushed past Mamoru and walked in, leaving the two in the hallway. "Your loss Mamoru," he muttered before the doors closed. Seiya felt some self-satisfaction knowing that he had the upper hand for once. As much as he'd love to believe Mamoru was an amazing person, he was having a hard time putting that image together. He had seen him make Usagi cry more than enough times to piss him off.

Mamoru stared at the elevator doors incredulously. What the hell did he mean 'his loss'? What did that guy even know about him? He never met him in his life. The appearance and tone of that man set something off in Mamoru and it made him angry. He whipped his keys out and walked to his door, barely taking a look at Usagi. "Are you okay? Who was he? Why was he here so late?" the questions just barrelled out of his mouth as if he had the right to know.

The barrage of questions caught Usagi off guard. She thought he wouldn't care about who was over at her place let alone even the time they were there. She inwardly smiled at the notion that he could have been possibly jealous. She shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Just a friend that I hadn't seen in about five years or so. What does it matter to you?"

She was right. What did it matter to him? She was his neighbor, nothing more and nothing less. Maybe he was just worried about her as a friend of some sort. It'd be ridiculous to think he was jealous, besides, he was already seeing Ayumi.

…That doesn't mean that he was bothered when that man was with Usagi. He sighed and waved his hand, "It doesn't, but I had a bad feeling about him. Just be careful," he warned before he walked into his apartment, "goodnight Usagi. I'll see you later."

A man with fair skin and ice blue eyes appeared with a grim look on his face. He wore a grey suit of armor and had long white hair. He was breathtakingly beautiful, but there was something wrong with him. He seemed as if he were almost transparent, like you could see through him. He struggled to keep himself up, as if his energy was being drained out of him. Three other figures appeared beside him in the same appearance, one with short, curly blonde hair, one of them had long wavy dark brown hair and the last one had long blonde hair tied in a pony tail. They were the Shitennou, the Prince of Earth's private Generals.

"You need to help him; otherwise the future of this world is doomed. We cannot reach him and too much time has already passed. He needs to remember." Kunzite said with a stern look on his face, "not only is the future in trouble, but the young Princess' future depends upon you and the Prince as well as our existence."

Jadeite spoke up after, "Chaos did something to him when he was controlling Galaxia. It must have occurred when the Prince's star seed was taken to alter the future."

"Be careful Princess. It may be a lengthy trial, but I am certain it is something that your love can overcome." Nephrite stated, smiling confidently.

"We do not doubt you Princess, but hurry. Every moment is crucial." Zoisite urged.

Then they were gone.

Usagi woke up in cold sweat with a gut wrenching feeling in her stomach. What was that? A premonition? Were the Shitennou warning her?Whatever it was, it was strange and she didn't know what to do. She couldn't force her love on Mamoru, that would be wrong and it would end up pushing him away. She groaned in frustration and heaved a heavy sigh before she attempted to fall back asleep.

"SAY WHAT?! MAMORU-SAN SAID WHAT?!" Makoto exclaimed in shock. The other girls were just as much in disbelief over Usagi's explanation. They all huddled around Usagi's coffee table in her living room, listening eagerly with hopeful looks. They had high dreams and hopes of Crystal Tokyo and the thought of being the personal guardians gave them more determination and purpose.

Usagi offered a small smile as she tried not to get too excited about it. She had no idea what it could have meant, but she never saw Mamoru react that way since she had been living there. The first and last time Mamoru got jealous was when Haruka came into the picture and she kissed her. She sighed and grumbled, "Ah, it was probably nothing. I don't even know if he was jealous of Seiya, but he acted differently than usual."

"Well let's hope it's for the best," Ami chirped in, boosting her friend on. She didn't want to see anything else but the Prince and Princess reunited.

Minako badgered on next to her in her usual way. There was the reason she was the senshi of love because that's all she ever thought about…asides from gossip and x rated movies. "I was thinking of throwing rocks at his head to be honest. You know, just to get the gears going in there or something?"

"….Minako. You're crazy." Rei sighed as she face-palmed while she shook her head back and forth. Her eyes flickered over to Usagi and she sensed something was wrong. "Usagi, what are you hiding?"

"Eh?" Usagi asked with pure confusion on her face. It dawned on her that Rei was able to read energy and she knew she probably couldn't hide the fact that the dream or vision from last night was bothering her. She pondered on the thought of telling them, but she wasn't so sure it was a good idea. She bit her lower lip and fumbled with her fingers, hesitating.

"Out with it already!" the fiery priestess exclaimed, growing impatient with the lack of response. She crossed her arms over her chest and intently stared at Usagi.

"I think the Shitennou visited me last night while I was dreaming," Usagi began slowly. She kept the group's attention as she explained everything the Generals told her, warning her of the future. Chaos wasn't done yet and it was holding onto every opportunity that it could to make the future as bleak as possible. Once she was done telling them the events of her dream, everyone kept quiet until Amy spoke up. "So that means the existence of Chibi-Usa is in danger and so are the Shitennou's. I never knew that Mamoru's memory loss would have such vital repercussions. We need to devise a plan."

"I doubt there is much we can do about it. These memories are based upon feelings. I think the only thing Usagi can do is just spend more time Mamoru and somehow re-establish their connection," Makoto explained. She knew her suggestion was no help, but someone needed to state the obvious. The girls were deep in thought and it seemed like no one else had a better option.

"Why should get Luna's opinion. She's been staying with me and Artemis since you left and god knows how many times those two have gotten it o—"

"MINAKO!" everyone screeched. They didn't want to think about Luna and Artemis' sexual affairs because that was just plain creepy and gross.

"Okay, okay…sheesh. I'll send her over later on in the evening," the blonde muttered and pouted. She had so many amazing facts and information but no one ever wanted to listen to them. 'Pfft. They're just immature.'

Later that evening, the crescent moon kitty made her way to Usagi's apartment, meowling at the doorman to let her in. She had Minako's note in her collar in order to convince the doorman to let her up and into the elevator. The doorman eyed Luna incredulously regarding her actions, but ended up taking her to the 8th floor anyway and knocked on Usagi's door then left Luna sitting there. 'Rude. He could have at least waited until she opened the door,' Luna thought, narrowing her eyes as the doorman walked away.

A few seconds later the door clicked and Usagi peered out, looking down on the ground. A giant smile took over as she bent down and hugged Luna, "Luna! I missed you so much!"

"Usagi, you hug too tightly…" Luna struggled out as she squirmed in her owner's grip. She smiled back at her and licked her cheek, letting out a content purr. She missed her so much over the past five years that it was amazing to see how much Usagi's outward appearance had changed. Her face and body had matured so much since she was 17 that it was safe to say she was finally a 'woman'.

Luna struggled for the past five years and even felt depressed that she didn't know how to help Usagi when Mamoru lost his memories. The only thing she could do was sit by idly and watch in pain as Usagi poured her heart and tears out. When she left for Canada, Luna felt lost and lonely without her whiney crybaby that she left for Minako's because she found the Tsukino resident unbearable without Usagi. "Mou, Usagi-chan, I'm so happy you're back," Luna nuzzled her neck.

"Don't ever go back to Minako's," Usagi pleaded, sniffling from the happy tears she cried. She never wanted to let Luna go because she was like her second mother, as odd as that sounded, and her friend. Luna was there for everything in her life and without her, it felt terrible.

"Well you know…Artemis is there," Luna blushed.

"LALALALALA…I don't wanna hear itttttt" Usagi cut her off, plugging her ears and singing. She was still the same old obnoxious brat Luna knew. Immature, especially when it came to adulthood, but that was one of the traits she loved about her.

"Anyways," the guardian cat cleared her throat, "I saw Mamoru-san on his way up, so go inside." The senshi of the Moon grumbled and nodded 'yes'; some things never changed, especially when it came to taking instructions from her guardian cat.

The moment Usagi stepped foot into her apartment, Luna trailed in behind her, leaving the door open. The second she heard the elevator 'ding', she knew that Mamoru was on his way to his apartment. Thinking of the best way to get the Prince's attention, Luna looked around the apartment quickly and found a framed photo of Usagi and Mamoru sitting on a table not too far from the entrance of the apartment. She jumped up, took one glance at Usagi before she whipped her tail and knocked the glass frame down, shattering it.

"LUNA!" Usagi screamed angrily, "What are you doing?!" the blonde quickly ran over to get her cat, but Luna had already slipped outside the apartment, causing a commotion which indeed did catch Mamoru's attention.

Usagi didn't even hear Mamoru step inside due to the fact that she was largely focused on and immersed upon cleaning up the glass from the frame. "Ouch…" she winced when the glass shard cut her finger. She put it against her lips and sucked on the bit of blood that started to form. She stood up and held the photo in her hand and sighed.

"What is that?"

She jumped immediately when she heard Mamoru's voice and turned around, her face paling. He looked angry and confused, but she couldn't place her mind on why, until she looked down and realized that he had seen the photo of them together.
