kera69love: me to!
damonika2009: she gets on everyone's nerves. Lol but out of all the witches she's kinda the nuttiest one of them all. Her flirting however was over the top no matter where she was.
AimlesslyGera: I did that originally because I couldn't think of any way that a botanical garden where families go to would be a good idea for a sex scene. It just didn't sit well so I gave the illusion of one.
trish1573: I still have some ideas for romantic scenes up my sleeves I just like getting creative and finding new places for them. Kinda want to find the right moment for them to do it AFTER hours at the arcade…but that will NOT be easy. But I am all the same glad you liked it.
NeoPrincessRini: the moon due are figuring it out, but its still a work in progress for them.
Guest (1): it was either her or a small family or a really old chastising couple. Pick your poison on that one cause either way they were going to get caught.
Only 6 reviews… a little sad but maybe this will perk you all up. Smut warning in here!
Sailor Moon S 'Rise of the Messiah' ch/ep.33
(It was a cool Sunday morning when we all met up at the temple. The sky was a bleak slate grey, the clouds hanging low over the trees. Mamo – chan was wearing a light leather jacket, something to keep the light chill of the passing wind at bay, with black jeans and a light blue turtleneck. He looked stunning, hell he always looked good. I loved how he could make casual look so suave. With his jet black hair wind-blown and piercing blue eyes and about three day's-worth of scruff upon his face he was gorgeous.
He was a model of male physical perfection and all mine...Needless to say, we ended up getting distracted several times in route to Sendai Hill.
I was wearing a very modest black pleated skirt, and a white tank top, with a soft pink cashmere sweater. It wasn't cold but the wet, mold smell in the air was stating that fall was here to stay. I had trouble with the cold, and the very thought of the cold rainy season starting up soon had me shivering with it.
Seeing the girls already there as they were hanging out upon the wooden veranda just outside Rei's room. Mina was dressed in tight black yoga pants and a white long sleeve sweater with a low rounded neckline. Her bow matched her black pants, while she was idly playing a game on her phone. Ami leaned against a wooden beam dressed in jeans and a navy blue long sleeve button down blouse.
Makoto sat beside Minako, dressed in brown cords and a green sweater with her orange baseball cap on her head. We headed over the main building and sat down. I began to greet the girl's, only for Mamo – chan to pull me securely into his lap.
"I finally finished my research on that Daimon egg." Ami, pulled her laptop out of her messenger bag and placed it confidently on her lap as she settled herself down on the veranda.
She placed her reading glasses on and was all business in a matter of moments. "The energy signature left over was of course not from our galaxy." She began.
We all nodded, assuming as much.
"But the energy itself is like a parasite infecting the object that turns into a daimon." Ami continued. "Once cleansed by Moon's power's it returns to it's normal state."
We all nodded again.
"Energy though isn't from our dimension. It's in a steady state of flux, as if it can't thrive in our reality." Ami sighed, she might have figured out some things but we knew she had more questions to ask.
"Well, Artemis and I have been snooping around the Delta. And it's not good, that place creeps me out now." Minako cut in. "We have also been lurking on several scientific forums and researched web sites regarding Soichi, Tomoe." She began, her blue eyes falling distant as recalled how strange the delta had felt now. It wasn't just that they had traced the enemy back to the set of islands, but the very air itself now felt off. She had a feeling that this enemy's reach needed to be stopped. That they couldn't allow it to get a foothold on the mainland.
Everyone was staring at her raptly, barely blinking as she continued on.
"Well, he is unethical that's for sure. His life's research was on super life forms. He performed unethical genetic manipulations on animals. Then six years ago he was expelled from the scientific community. But he sold his research and techniques to foreign investors and bought up the delta. Building the Mugen Academy. During a construction fire his wife was killed." Minako took a breath, allowing the tragic information to sink in.
"After that fire consumed most of the Mugen development area, the professor went into hiding. He sealed himself off from the public." Mina finished.
"I think we should talk about the outer senshi." Rei stated, swishing her broom back and forth a few paces away, meeting or not she still had chores. "Hai." I agreed, "So we gather they are stronger than us but even so we should still all fight together, we're ALL senshi." Pouting just a little, I really needed to figure out a way to gain their respect.
"Stronger powers are great and all but they need us." Rei huffed, pure and simple.
"Don't bother try to fight along-side them, unless they decide to work with you." Mamo – chan told them, "Excuse me?" Makoto asked, slightly stunned by Mamoru's bitter remark.
"The world you all want and the one that they want is different. They're not bad but their looking at a different outcome. One that were not clued in on." Mamo – chan explained to the newly agitated senshi of thunder, "If they wish for a world that isn't full of peace then what do they want?" Makoto asked, her brow furrowed in worry. Mamo – chan raised his head up to look at her, "To rid the evils they believe are threatening the world, at any cost. But I've seen and been in that placement…" he began.
I snuggled into him, knowing he was never fond of that particular portion of his memory, "I hate to say it but Diamond – san had a point in telling Usako that there are grey areas of evil. I think we're seeing it with how the Outer's are choosing to fight. Willing to standby and allow innocent people to die just to make sure the Silence is thwarted. And with Chibi Usa's friend Hotaru – chan." I nodded before the girls shifted.
"Nani?" Ami asked, "We've noticed spikes in her aura. She has a dark sorta energy to her... that is how do I say…" I put my hand to my chin in thought, "I don't think it's hers but I've noticed it comes when her seizures get really bad, something uncontrollable." I tell them. Acknowledging each girl's surprise and anxiety at the prospect that Hotaru might be evil or at least corrupted by some kind of evil.
"Is she possessed? Or just a real good actress." Rei asked, her honest if grim outlook away made me upset. She always had to be the devil's advocate, always seeing the worst in other's before the possibility of good.
"I think…but I could be wrong. She could just have THAT strong of a psychic ability…couldn't she Rei – chan?" I asked, pleading with the Miko to find an alternative view.
"It would be rare if she did but not impossible…" she answered in deep thought. But her grim scowl did not give me hope that she believed it.
We talked a bit longer on it before deciding to separate and go do our daily things. As Mamo – chan and I drove back to his place I wondered, "Mamo – chan…" I began softly, finally giving voice to my questions. My own dark possession had dredged up in the back of my mind for the last few months.
"Hai?" he asked. "How much of being under Beryl's control do you remember?" I asked.
He was silent for a long time, not looking at me. I thought I had crossed some unspoken line, hurting him with forcing the memories of that dark time back to the surface.
"All of it." He sighed.
I let him sort things out in his head, watching the trauma of that time cross over his face in a deep frown. The sparkle in his blue eyes dimming, darkening and growing haunted.
But I needed to know, it was cruel and somewhat selfish but I pushed on.
"Can you answer me something?" He looked to me with a 'go ahead' on his face, "Even when you were evil you still in some form or another saved me at times. Why?" I asked him. He looked away, "Cause even then I felt a pull to you I couldn't explain." He began. I looked over to him in surprise.
I could feel him shutting portions of our link off, "Why are you shutting me out?" I gasped, gripping his sleeve in worry.
"Gomen, but the things even being evil that I wanted to do to you…it wasn't just torture for the silver crystal…" he looked ashamed. "I think those things are some of what the chaos shard was trying to manipulate within me. Things that I had long ago forgotten that came from the evil within me at that time." he explained, the depth of pain he felt at confessing that was palatable, dare, I say it. I could also see a lot of self-blame in his grimace as well.
I arched a brow in disbelief, "What else could you have possibly done to me other than torture?" I almost snorted.
I didn't see anywhere where he could hurt me. "You seriously want to know?" he questioned, a tinge of fear in his voice, "Hai." I said, my body suddenly feeling very nervous. "I wanted to take you after battles…to take you back to the dark kingdom…to the rooms that I had there." I tilted my head, "You wanted to have sex with me even back then?" I asked in shock, considering the fact of how standoffish he was when NOT saving me.
"It was more than that." he groaned, scrubbing a hand down his face in frustration. Needing a few moment to collect himself before continuing. "I wanted to break you. Pleasure you till there was nothing but agony then keep going till you begged me to stop." He told me. "Till you begged for death." He finished so quietly it was like a ghostly breath.
He looked over to me briefly before facing forward again, "I wanted to hold you captive and torture you physically, mentally and sexually for the secrets of the silver crystal. But my humanity, my love for you wouldn't let me get close to that extent to do so. Thank kami." He huffed, his hands gripping the wheel so tight the leather grip was bending.
"Wow…I never knew…and chaos played on the reminisce of that?" I was stunned, deeply frightened I must admit.
"Hai, it brought back the images and made them unbearable. I was beginning to wake up to images of tying you to the bed, leaving you there with-out food, or anyway to relieve yourself. Humiliating you, forcing you to submit in every way to me. Until there was nothing left but a willing slave, then after I had taken everything away from you. I was planning on killing you." His voice winced at the grotesque memory.
"Well tying me to the bed isn't something that's all negative but we both know in the end I wouldn't decline to anything sexual between us either. I like our rough passionate nature as much as I love the sweet fulfillment from it. The darkness is everywhere. It's just a matter of how to use it to ones benefit without hurting anyone." I tell him with a laughing smile, trying to turning the bleakness around into something good.
He smiles over to me, offering his hand. We hold hands for a few moments, as the contact soothes him. Later he asks, "So you wouldn't mind being tied up to our bed?" he asked sounding curious and intrigued. "When done right many things can be pleasurable. So no I wouldn't mind." I wondered what was going on in his head.
His hand with mine landed back on my leg. Then I suddenly got a really sexy but perhaps bad idea. Knowing it was still pretty early in the morning, not many commuters were on the streets of Azabu-Juuban. I undid my seat belt, slouching low in my seat and bent with clear intent towards his crotch. I slowly undid Mamo – chan's zipper to his pants, "Usako?" he questioned, a bit alarmed but I smiled reassuringly. I wanted to please him, replace the self-loathing I saw forming behind his eyes with a sense of being loved.
Keeping his eyes to the road I reached into his pants, my goal obvious, as I pulled him from the material. "Usako I'm driving that no – oh kami!" his response changed once my hand wrapped around him. A few gentle pumps and I knew he was getting into it. I honestly had a hard time keeping my hands off him. When I found something I enjoyed, I explored it thoroughly. Loving him, was definitely something I enjoyed!
My head finally lowered down and as I pulled him out of his pants completely. He groaned while trying to maintain a steady on the road. It was when my mouth surrounded him that I knew he was having some issues, "Usako this is…so good…but…oh kami…such a bad idea…" he was trying to dissuade me, his voice sounding breathy and not all that forceful. "You really want me to stop?" I asked, innocently, licking the tip teasingly.
He looked down for a second before his eyes did the talking for him. Dark and full of lust, his reason long since dissolved under my seductions. His body relaxed under my hand as I went to work with a giggle.
I slunk back down and swallowed him till his tip hit my throat. The muscles in my mouth clenching around his hard engorged member. Slowly my head bobbed up and down, his hand occasionally leaving the steering wheel to press my head down further. Gently but surely I began a rhythm that had him moaning out in need for more. I giggled gently and it sent a rush of vibrations that had him groaning out loud in need.)
Her tongue was doing wonders to his body and making Mamoru frantic in need to get to someplace secluded so he could fully enjoy her attentions on him. He was stunned beyond belief that she had started this in the car no less. But he couldn't think negatively on it seeing as her ministrations were making him groan out loud. He rolled up the windows to avoid passerby people from hearing him.
It was when he hit a red light that he looked around frantically, even as the rhythm intensified and he was starting to get the urge to thrust down her throat. It was then that a fellow motorist saw his red sports car. They waved for him to roll down the window and talk. Now wasn't the time and the last thing he cared about right now was bragging about his car. But the other driver of the sporty BMW was insistent.
He didn't think he'd be able to hold onto a conversation right now but the never ending red light only added to his dilemma. Rolling his window down he had a hand on Usagi's bobbing head to let her know to ease up but she got the devil in her eyes and actually decided to slowly speed up her rhythm. He about died as the words on his lips nearly came out on a moan. "Cool ride man!" the fellow motorist stated.
"Hai, yours to." Mamoru commented, struggling to sound normal. Hoping if the other guy started bragging about his own. Mamoru wouldn't have to try and talk. He would get even with his Usagi for this later on. As guessed the man went on and on about his own ride, Mamoru not even paying attention as he enjoyed the rhythm on his member that had him nearly in need to bounce up into her face as she kept up and wouldn't relent even the slightest. "So what about yours?" the man asked.
Red light now green Mamoru merely said, "Next time man." he speed off as the motions were getting too much to handle. He was moaning her name constantly, his hands altering from the steering wheel to her head. Finding an alleyway, he drove into the welcomed shadows. Lightly pulling her away, giggling mischievously, finding her face flushed with excitement at the bold erotica she was preforming.
"I wanna be in you when I come." He growled. She nodded and adjusted herself to sitting in his lap. "Well technically you were in me." She corrected. He glided his fingers over her lips before telling her, "Not here…"
Pulling her bikini style panties to the side he slipped in a few fingers, she arched and moaned against him. Her body instantly responding to his touch, finding how wet she was from her ministrations on him earlier. Satisfied that his invasion would not hurt her he pulled them out only to push his stiff member into her instead. She began a rhythm that had him about ready to come as he opened his mouth to gasp when she reached down and circled his member in her fingers and clamped them in place.
Looking up at her he felt himself falling into an abyss of heat and love. "Usako…" she pumped up and down a few more time on him then mid pump released her hold on his member.
The blood rushed along with his pleasure as he began to maddeningly thrust his hips up within her core. His rhythm getting harder and faster as she rode his hips to paradise. Each thrust faster and harder than the last. It was when he grabbed her hair up and pulled it together back behind her head that the position changed. Able to get control of himself even if just a little bit he hauled her body against his own and shifted till she fell over her own seat.
Her head cushioned in the seat while her back was now laying against his jacket as he had placed it there to cushion her back. Legs on either side of him, both sandaled covered feet touching the roof of the car in some form while her hands either gripped him or braced against the panel of the passenger door while Mamoru began a rhythm that called out to her passion and lust. Her hair pulled within his hands was secured behind her back while he snapped his hips in a near jerking motion.
His mouth suckling hard at her neck, creating a string of love marks that trailed her neck to her collar bone in a sweet yet markable 'she's mine' fashion. It was the clenching of her inner muscles that had him slamming himself into her even harder. Wanting them both to reach that pinnacle together. Hair in his hands he angled her head further to the side and ground his hips into hers on ever downward thrust, "Mine. My sweet Usako."
His voice deep with love, lust and possessiveness that turned her on fiercely. It made her clench harder, her need and love for him answering his call out to her body and soul. "Yours. My brave Mamo – chan." She answered verbally. He lost his rhythm completely before slamming into her with such force the car moved in with their synched motions. Neither noticing the flashing lights coming up to them.
They were in their own little world where the only thing that mattered was each other. The only thing he could think of was to get further inside of his beloved future wife. To give her the pleasure her body demanded while his sought to take what she willingly gave to him as well. It was the final clenching of her muscles that signaled him to her release. He pounded in a few more times before he sprayed her insides with his seed. Her scream lost to his mouth as his was in hers.
The two sat in silence for a minute, giggling and basking in the afterglow before a tapping alerted them to the police that was at the window. A short middle aged man in a navy uniform, staring down at them with expressionless brown eyes. A tired almost resigned twist to his weak smile. Mamoru slowly closed his eyes in utter humiliation, thumping his head against his head rest, as Usagi spun around in startled fear.
Her eyes round as saucer's and face a brilliant crimson of shame. Mamoru for his part saw exactly how this could go and feared for Usagi. He gripped her hips adjusting her off his lap, she calmly slid back into her own seat. As he got himself tucked away again. While she meekly adjusted her skirt, staring shyly down at her fingers twiddling in her lap. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, body aching with sudden dread.
Getting caught in the act was worse than confronting a Daimon. At least in that kind of fight she knew the outcome. Their bodies having formed a light layer of sweat over them even though they never truly took anything off. Mamoru sighed then took his time rolling down Usagi's window, "Everything okay officer?" he asked.
"You know you're not allowed to park here?" he looked over Usagi, her hair a total mess from where his hands had been, "Hai, gomen, won't happen again." Mamoru himself was feeling mortified now. He had never been caught in public displays of affection before but now… "I understand young love but try to keep it to either of your houses." The officer said. Usagi blushed and nodded as did Mamoru.
If he only knew…
(My mind stated. Mamo - chan started the car up before driving off again. "Gomen." I apologized quietly, my voice waiver just a bit I was just so mortified. He looked to me in bewilderment, "For starting all of that. It's my fa - " but he leaned over and kissed me, "I loved it. Don't worry about that. We'll just have to be more careful in the future." He soothed. I nodded, "That was pretty hot wasn't it." I commented.
Giggling a bit at my blatant sexual desire shown in a car no less. "Hai. Let it not be the last. You are getting me hooked on public displays I will admit that but not THAT public." He told me, gripping my thigh meaningfully. I smiled approvingly before looking out of the window.)
Mimet set on her newest target. An athlete that she felt would cheer her on with any sporting event she was at. The professor was starting to see how she was. A part of him wondered if she was even worth giving another daimon to. Her past and continued failures much like that of Eudial's were taking longer for him to get a pure heart to the sovereign of silence. The senshi were getting to good at destroying them, for their own good.
In taking the newest daimon to her he knew in the end if she failed he still had three more witches to give their lives as need be. He just wasn't a fan of wasting the energy of a daimon, his creations. The ones now he thought were stronger, but it seemed as if Sailor Moon was able to use the 'chalice' to a certain extent to protect those around her. He wondered if perhaps she was the 'messiah of light' and just didn't know how to use the power of the grail to the fullest extents just yet. Preferring not to dwell on it he sent Mimet off.
Hotaru sat peacefully in her room at her antique oak desk, writing a letter to her favored athlete as she blushed and giggled like a young woman in love. A young man, coincidentally the target of Mimet's. It was Kaori's appearance next to her, reading the letter over her shoulder that had Hotaru reacting as any young girl getting caught writing a love note to a boy she liked. Covering it up with her hands, and snapping at the older woman in a strong affronted voice.
Then the older woman merely smiled matronly at her. "My, my you're getting stronger these days." Kaori commented with a sneer. She walked out laughing at Hotaru, her laugh as annoying, grating and hideous as ever.
Usagi had been trying to find some time to scope the place out but kept getting busy so she sent Luna to do weekly runs to check it out. Everything always came back fine but Usagi didn't believe it for a minute so she made Luna keep up the patrols in the area and to look out for the Kaolinite who was passing as Kaori.
Putting the letter in its pink envelope, Hotaru already had it pre written out to where she wanted it to go to. It was Kaori's continual interference that made Hotaru kick her out of her room for good, "Who cares when you write a love letter that you will never send as you are too afraid to do so." The woman laughed, uncaring that the young girl she spoke to was just that, a young girl filled with hopes and dreams for the future. Her cackling reseeded away down the shadowed hall, leaving Hotaru blushing and gripping her doorframe in fury.
Needing a break from the constant haggling from Kaori she went over to Chibi Usa's to chat and hang out. The two girls sat for a while and talked as Usagi decided to drop by, it was Saturday so she only had half days. Walking back into Minato-ku in the school uniform it felt like it was old times. The nostalgia of walking home was making her chest ache and her eyes tear up. Her father hadn't gotten a hold of her, another week had past and she figure another would also before either had the courage to try and mend things.
Usagi decided to use this time to get a change of clothes since she knew her mother and father would be out and about today. It was her only chance to swap some clothes for fresh ones for the next few days. This was cowardly she knew it, but she just couldn't face them just yet.
Going upstairs she ducked into her room, rummaging and packing another week's worth of clothes in her pink duffle. Leaving out she heard the girl's voices up in the attic, and figured she had a few minutes to see how things were going. Taking to the narrow stairs, she lightly approached Chibi-Usa's domain. Finding the two girls giggling and lounging on Chibi Usa's small bed.
Chibi was dressed in a pair of jean overalls with a soft pink long sleeve underneath. While Hotaru as always was in a heavy black dress with a high collar. Looking so much like some gothic doll than a young girl.
"Afternoon, Hotaru - chan." Usagi smiled warmly. "Chibi Usa did you make tea for your guest?" she asked. Chibi Usa feeling berated snapped, "Why don't you go make it? Ikuko – mama isn't home yet so you go do it. I'm still just a kid." Rolling her eyes Usagi remarked, "Funny you're a kid when trying to get out of doing work…"
Having heard that Chibi Usa shot back, "At least I'm not such a zero at doing my homework." To that Usagi smiled, "Have you seen my report card on the fridge lately? You should look at it before you retort on something you know so little about." The smart remark had Chibi Usa up and rounding the stairs. Usagi followed smugly down to the kitchen. Finding the pink haired girl looking at the fridge door to find nothing there.
"See nothing." Chibi pointed and accused with an irritated tone. Usagi looked and realized her papa must have taken it down in his anger. It saddened her much more than a ridiculous argument with Chibi Usa would.
"Well my grades are actually rising up really well. I might be able to graduate early." She smiled, "Doubtful." the child remarked. Gritting her teeth she got an evil smile before saying, "Then I guess I'm to dumb to know how to make tea." She began walking out when Chibi Usa not having expected that said, "Nani?! Demo…" she stuttered as Usagi turned around, "Gomen. Will you make us some tea?" Chibi Usa asked pitifully.
Usagi smiled at having won the conversation, "Hai." Minutes later the tea was being prepped as Chibi Usa and Hotaru spoke in the living room. During the conversation Hotaru admitted her letter witting to Chibi Usa as Usagi listened in from the kitchen. She smiled in encouragement. "If you'd like to be able to get a reply, give it to him in person. I hear he's very kind." Usagi told her. Hotaru blushed at the notion.
(Mamo – chan can Chibi Usa, Hotaru and I meet you at the practice field for that running and jumping athlete? Hotaru is going to give him a presumable love letter. I'll be making sure to help her get in there.
To that Mamoru outwardly smirked knowing how this might end. I'll meet you there. I'm done with my run here anyways.)
She smiled, "Let's go times a wasting." Hauling both girls from the house and grabbing her duffle bag they left out only to run into her parents. Her father walked right inside, ignoring her form. He merely took off his shoes and walked briskly down the hall to the study. Leaving Usagi standing at the entry way with her heart in her throat, breathing rapidly in sudden stress. While her mother gently smiled at her before giving her daughter a hug.
"Just give him time. He'll come around." Usagi nodded, her mother calming her nerves instantly, before leaving off. Things will mend themselves, given time she hoped.
Leaving with the girls they walked to the bus stop, so they wouldn't have to walk all the way to the stadium. Though on the way they dropped by Mamoru's apartment so Usagi could drop off her duffle bag just inside. The old man at the front desk merely waving her up. Smiling at how the once severe Mamoru seemed to have an extra bounce in his step lately, thanks to the bubbly girl full of sun shine.
Although he knew Mamoru's perpetual good mood wasn't just because his girl had such a sparkling personality, he would keep it to himself that he could occasionally hear them fooling around, when he did nightly rounds.
Usagi had begged and pleaded for the driver to just stay for a few minute, while she dropped off her bag. The driver taking pity on the young girl had let it go and stayed for the five minutes outside the building. But true to form Usagi was in and out in four minutes. The passengers didn't mind to much having listened in on the two young girls conversation, coming to understand how meeting this athletic idol meant the world to the more frail of the two.
Smiling about their own childhood hero's they never had the chance to know. Proud that this girl was finding the courage to live out her dreams of meeting this star athlete, no matter what the odds were.
Back on the bus, headed towards Shinjuku to the massive Olympic stadium that all world Athletes in Japan used to train. It was used long ago for the Summer Olympics' still carrying much honor and prestige. Used most recently for the National Football clubs matches. Usagi kept close eye on the chatty girls a few benches away, while smiling warmly at Chibi Usa, glad she was finally getting a chance to be a normal kid and have friends.
She wondered if the pink haired child had very many friends in the future world. Thanks to the child's need to argue with her, she didn't know of the difficulty to gain friends nor of sorting through the genuine ones. The curiosity over how happy her daughter might be in the future left her rather sullen. She knew so very little about Crystal Tokyo, understood it was for good reason she was left in the dark.
But it still bothered her how lonely Chibi Usa was the first time they met. That only know after finding Hotaru did the little girl finally look at peace, joyful and perhaps finally fulfilled in some-way with the dark haired girls friendship. A war was waging inside of her, as she was also using this outing as a way to keep an eye on Hotaru. Not fully trusting her as once she did now that she had seen the girl's power.
Trying to figure out the girls energy waves was difficult. It almost felt familiar, like a somber melody she once knew. But the energy waves were mixed, jagged and twisting. Like a frayed wire. Almost like another energy signature seemed to weave into that melody, syncing to the same harmonics. Every time she tried to gain a reading on it the waves would shift as if they were hiding their true nature. That and the bus kept jostling her about.
Finally getting off at their stop. They saw Mamoru still dressed in his black tracksuit pants and white t-shirt leaning against the brick wall that skirted around the huge white stone and glass stadium behind. The venue was a huge outdoor field surrounded by a massive bandstand. With the front entry building built of concrete and glass that ushered all the spectator's into the stands,
"Mamo - chan!" both girls called. Usagi stepped off just as Chibi Usa jumped into his welcoming arms. Always loving her future father's warmth.
"How are you?" he asked her, happy with his future daughter in his arms. Every time he saw her he felt light and happy. Though he knew that was mostly from knowing he would have a daughter or a few in the future with his beloved. It made him smile and hope that they had several. "Hey." Usagi greeted, Hotaru standing beside her. He smiled at his love before walking up to her, "So the athlete huh?" he arched a brow.
"Hotaru - chan here wants to give him a letter." Usagi answered. She began to walk forward as he shifted to the side and slipped his arm around her waist. Turning her just slightly he pulled her into a quick 'hello' kiss. Hotaru smiled at the couple while Chibi Usa rolled her eyes. She smiled happily to herself, walking through the outer gates and into the parking lot behind.
The entry building loomed ahead with giant banner's stretching down the sides of Tokyo's football team snapping in the wind, welcoming their fan's to their headquarters. Stopping with a heavy sigh on the sidewalk before the wide stairs, as she saw the amount of security within and without. The heavy amount of guards were walking the perimeter. Focused and keen of eye the men did not look to was to sneak by. "This might not be that easy." Usagi muttered as they came up to the double doors.
"Can you run well?" She asked Hotaru, "When the occasion calls for it." she answered then looked to Usagi as she wondered why she would ask that. When Usagi took her hand and ran her inside past the double doors and past the security manning the main corridor. Thanks to her daily dashes to school she was able to zip past them in a flash. The papers they were working on flew up. It was the only indication that they had been there. They began to whistle to them both to stop but Usagi didn't heed.
Hotaru for her part was barely even touching the ground with her feet, wanting to cry out in alarm but to reserved make even a sound. Usagi ran so fast the girl was practically 'tip toe' running behind her. Her pink letter clutched firmly in her hand the whole time. Mamoru for his part escorted Chibi Usa into the stands knowing by now that Usagi would do what she wanted to do regardless of the consequences. If she got caught he'd come down to help her but otherwise it seemed she knew what she was doing.
It was up in the stands where Chibi Usa spotted Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru on the upper most row. Setsuna was in a black suit, looking like a powerful business woman. Michiru was dressed in jeans and a white blouse, with a woven aqua green shawl draped over her shoulder's. Haruka was in jeans and a black button down shirt she had partially undone. Showing a sky blue tank top underneath it.
The three had been watching the athlete for a little while now. Seeing him as a contender for a pure heart attack. "Plu!" Chibi Usa ran to them, charging up the stairs like a bullet. Leaving Mamoru bewildered and still out of sight in the mouth of the corridor.
"Little one." Haruka greeted in pleasant surprise. She did what she could to still be civil to the child, knowing she was not fully aware nor fully understood them the way that the older senshi did things.
"Your here alone?" Setsuna asked, a little surprised that she would be here all by herself. "No." before she could reply further the whistling came out strong than ever. Usagi and Hotaru ran onto the field at top speed. Hotaru's presence shocked Haruka. "Tomoe, Hotaru!" she whispered seeing the young girl. Usagi and Hotaru managed to get half way on the field when the security managed to finally get in front of them.
To tired from chasing the young girls, whistling was the main response, though it drove Usagi nuts, "Were not crazed fans or anything! We just want to give a letter to Hayase." they shook their heads no while blowing their whistles, "Seriously? Is the whistle really needed for all of you? Were two young girls not a crowd of people!" Usagi snapped at them. They simply shook their heads no before crowding around them in the middle like cattle.
That was something Mamoru wasn't too fond of. He knew his Usagi could handle herself but the security were crowding her and Hotaru like they were about ready to push them out the doors by force. Having been athletic himself and still active in certain sports though not nearly as often as before he knew the rules for fans on the field, but he also knew that these guys were essentially crowding into the girls. Passively hostile, but still hostile.
Plus he really didn't like strange men in his Usagi's personal space. These guys, though doing their jobs were just getting a little bit to close for his comfort. He made to go down there, having second thoughts about leaving Chibi Usa when he found she had left his side. He did a quick scan of the bleacher's finding the little girl stood with the outer senshi. Knowing she was safe with them he hurdled over the metal barrier. Barreling across the track and field yard to try and mediate the peace. To attempt to get the security to back off his ever loving girlfriend.
(I was trying to just get them to let us give a letter that was it. We're not asking for a kiss or a hug nothing in return, yet these guys acted as if were actually a threat to Hayase. We're two young school girls obviously. No weapons no nothing, though I am a literal weapon but that's another subject. These guards were relentless and to make it worse they wouldn't talk to us. Only whistle in response.
It was sooooo ridiculously irritating. My ears were ringing with the effect and I was strangely thinking this must be what the Dark Kingdom cronies had felt like when I had used my wailing attacks back then.
"It's fine Usagi – chan." Hotaru told me in a low complacent voice. I gasped, "I'm fine with just watching him on t.v. no need to get into a big fuss over it." she finished, "Demo..." it was then that Hayase came forward himself. The security moving out of his way though no whistles were blown merely letting him pass through as if he were parting the great sea. Like he was a god...an Olympic god.
"Is everything here okay?" he asked. The athlete in question came up to us. Now mind you he was cutie looking but nowhere near my Mamo - chan in good looks. With a very lean muscled build, dressed in a purple and yellow track suit. A handsome face, rather feminine and soft in features with short cropped red hair. His eyes were a warm hazel, determined and strong. He moved with a competitor's self-assured gait.
A high jumper for Japan's national track and field team. He was living icon, emblazoned on our t.v's for the last few years. Promising our country gold medals at the next Olympic Games and prestige in the world competitions. He was our hopes, our dreams and the idol for many young people country wide.
Hotaru saw him a beacon of strength, a person to aspire to as her own frail body was so uncertain right now. Hotaru though was in shock. I saw the look of dreams on her face. I could only guess how fast her heart was pounding.
Here was her athletic hero, her athletic crush standing less than three feet from her. I could only imagine what must have been going through her mind. What she would say to him, if she could formulate her words, if she could overcome nerves stunting her voice. It was Chibi Usa's ridiculous display of cheering along the edge of the barrier wall, complete with fan's and fanfare that had both me and Hotaru blushing. Where she got the fans I have no idea...
Hotaru managed to get the letter up but then it fell back down to her side, I knew right then and there she had lost her nerve. I was trying to talk her into giving it to him but a screech that came from an all too familiar foe rang out. Looking back we saw Mimet in her 'witches 5 or 4' outfit standing along the sidelines to the dirt track. The metal barrier fence smashed and at her feet. A cloud of smoke announced my opponent, as the craziest looking Daimon ever, appeared. A pink skinned freak in athletic gear with a conch shell attached to her back.
I literally felt myself sweat drop and absolute absurdity of it. "You have got to be kidding me." I groaned, palming my face.
The daimon created a huge weighted ball, typically used for weight training. But this one was absurdly big! She cheered herself on, ramping up her energy and creating fire under her pounding feet before she exploded across the field. Flames igniting the grass behind her as she rocketed towards us.
Everyone ran just as I grabbed Hotaru and pulled her out of the line of fire.)
Mamoru cried in alarm as a herd of panicked security guards literally ran him over. Leaving him twitching and trampled upon the grass...
Hotaru's letter however didn't make it. Hotaru watched helplessly as it burned from the fire the daimon created in it's wake. But the giant's ball it had rolled and chased the security with was a real enough threat. Mimet had been steaming since the moment she got in there. The security hadn't let her in yet when she saw Usagi and Hotaru within talked to the athlete her temper blew through the roof.
(I knew I had to get Hotaru to safety, lest her health give her an attack right now. It was something I couldn't afford for the young girl. Getting her inside an entry hallway, behind the demolished barrier fence Mimet had destroyed. I helped her sit, "Stay here and catch your breath I'll go get help." I told her. She nodded but said, "You'll be back right?" her words were full of fear. This was three times now that this girl had gotten caught in a daimon attack. Poor thing was righteously scared.
"Hai, I promise." she gave me a look of trust. One that someone might give to a well-respected elder. I didn't feel like one but I knew I'd do everything within my power to protect her as I would any other innocent, as I would Chibi Usa. This girl I knew was special. For a small moment it felt like her energy was trying to reach out to my own but didn't know how to. Like a lost soul looking for a similar one. )
As for Hotaru she was feeling not only a kinetic energy and connection with Chibi Usa but was also feeling a deep sense of caring motherly love from Usagi. This was the first woman in years who cared for her in a motherly sense. Kaori her father's assistant that helped around the house just aggravated her to no end and treated her poorly behind her father's back. Always having a snide remark or bitter assessment of how she was dragging her father down. Acting and treating the girl like her health no matter what would limit her period.
She never gave Hotaru a chance in the past or present to encourage her. To enjoy her youth while she had it. Usagi it seemed encouraged it and welcomed her, as she was unconditionally. To let go and be happy with who she was. Chibi Usa was her best friend now. The young bubbly child that fought like cats and dogs with Usagi was the closest that she had had to a sibling. She finally felt truly accepted and not out-casted.
Her own father loved her dearly but due to his work he was constantly busy. So the positive motherly feel Usagi gave her just by being there and pushing her to do the things she loved, it made the young girls heart soar. She vaguely wondered why Chibi Usa seemed to take the blonde for granted. Yell at her as if she were not her elder at all but just a sister. She never brought it up but at times felt that Chibi Usa did take it too far. Usagi deserved respect and should be treated better.
However right how as she felt her heart beating irregularly once more. Her breath was shallow and ragged as she tried to control it, by clutching her chest and bearing down hard. Seeking to hug her excited heart with her ribs, to hold it steady enough to change it's beat. To tam down the need to black out again or worse have a seizure. With the light headed feeling coming on, she knew an attacked was only moments away.
She never remembered what happened or if she hurt someone. Feeling horrible about losing her chance to talk to her hero, having failed and lost her letter. Hotaru brought her knees up and crossed her arms overtop, leaning her forehead against her arms in defeat.
"You shall be punished!" Hotaru glanced up from the shadowed corridor she was hiding within to find Sailor Moon, wand in hand taking on the Daimon out upon the grass. The monster had had her hero pinned to the ground, now she was in full retreat. She smiled briefly, admiring her determination, her strength to fight against the odds. A deep sense respect held her as she watch the blonde fight, she looked up to the heroine. But right now she knew if she didn't control her heart she would be lost to another seizure and the unknown that came with it.
As for Moon once she was out there she was joined by Chibi Moon. "This thing might be a bit too fast for you." Moon warned, recalling how fast it could run. "I can handle it." Chibi Moon snapped back, standing firm beside her with her hands braced upon her tiny hips.
"You're not that dependable fighting all by yourself anyway." The pink haired girl shot back, with a mocking grin.
Moon narrowed her eyes about to retort.
However the daimon seeing the minor conflict threw a magical cloth at them, binding them at the leg together.
"Three legged race, neh?" She cackled. With their two inner legs bound together leaving only two free. They were at a disadvantage. Seeing no other way other than to fall. Moon refused to trip, she grabbed Chibi Moon and pulled her up ribbon and all off her feet. Running for the daimon, pinning the smaller Moon senshi to her side with one arm as the monster once more pinned the athlete down while Mimet was holding his head to steady and to aid in his pure hearts ultimate capture.
Chibi Moon wanted to snap at her but fell short as she realized how cunningly Moon had thwarted the Daimon's trap. She was starting to see that Moon was a bit more clever to see these things. Her time away made her miss a lot. However new strategy or not they were still too late, he daimon took Hayase's pure heart quickly before Mimet called back, "Okay we got it lets get it back to the professor!" she ran first for the opening in the barrier fence, heading out.
The Daimon ran at full speed towards them.
"Crap!" Moon cried, as the monster closed distance far to fast. Knocking Moon and Chibi Moon over in her haste. "Damn!" Moon groaned, having fallen on her butt. Tuxedo mask was on his way to her so he could help unbind them. Not having thought that she would simply pick up the pink haired child and run with her. He was momentarily stunned but smiled at her cleverness none the less for what she did.
The daimon rushed into the shadowed hall beyond the fence, but seeing Hotaru struggling inside a strange sense of compassion took hold of her. She wished to aid this frail girl who looked so vulnerable and sick. Squatting down before her, she rested a hand upon Hotaru's shoulder. "Are you alright?" The Daimon inquired. Her voice calm and lacking in any sort of inner rage as she had before.
The entity within Hotaru recognized it as a threat and acted in response. The dark energy as before flared around her small body.
"No! Hotaru - chan!" Moon called out, now free of Chibi Moon. She was in pursuit of the Daimon with Tux and Chibi Moon on her heels.
But even at her distance away she saw the girl's incredible power. Her whole body was enveloped in darkness, as the daimon shrunk back in its shell sensing the buildup of power and sought to protect itself from the dark haired girl.
Moon narrowed her eyes and hit the dirt, as the blast bloomed out from the corridor. Sending the conch shell skyward and back into the stadium. It got sent back right next to them. Hitting the grass and gouging the earth like a meteor.
"Chibi Moon." she signaled. The pink haired senshi charged up her weapon while Moon backtracked. Mimet came back around seeking to know where her pure heart went, once again ignoring that Hotaru was curled up in the corridor. "What happened?!" she demanded angrily.
"That girl...something's wrong with her. If it hadn't been for my shell I'd be gone." the daimon's big icy blue eyes looked in fear towards Hotaru. Her pointing finger shaking in terror as Hotaru began to collapse, now passing out.
Mimet looked to Hotaru, "The girl couldn't harm a fly. Now quit being lazy and get up!" Mimet screeched. The daimon looked to her uncertainly, though she was mentally sweat dropping at Mimet accusing her of being lazy when she was one to talk. The woman from what she'd seen ran faster than a chicken with its head cut off. The daimon stuck its head out only to be greeted with small heart shaped blasts that hit her in the face. The repeated hits made her head go back as if being hit by multiple tiny hard punching fists.
"Seriously? You're going to let a little pest beat you up?" Mimet yelled in outrage. Staying safely on the periphery.
Moon went into her second transformation, allowing the chalice to bless her. In moments she was standing even stronger than before. The transformations were becoming less tiring as her body was getting used to the added power. She quickly dispatched the daimon when she used her upgraded power.
"Lovely..." The hiding Daimon moaned as she was cleansed.
Knowing Mimet was just going to run off anyways she paid the coward no mind. Knowing she would be gone before she reached the corridor, she ran to the floating crystal heart and guided it back into Hayase body. Then ran towards Hotaru.
She had not been blind to the girl's power. She'd have to go to Rei and ask her to see what could be done. Ami as well would need to be there for the information. See if she couldn't gain access to her medical records.
Finding Tux and Chibi Moon already aiding the unconscious Hotaru. He was crouching before Hotaru and had gathered her up in his arms protectively. "De-transform." she commanded as she did the same. Knowing the security would be returning from their hiding places.
Chibi Moon followed suit and within minutes they arrived. Full of questions as to what that monster was and praise that Tokyo's hero's had taken care of it. Falling back into their roles easily as they tended to Hotaru, seeking to put behind them the terror of the previous few minutes brought.
(We played the astounded spectator's to the crazy event, our secret identities secure as we nodded and responded to the guards questions as they carried Hotaru over to lay on a stretcher on the field. The security huddled around hoping she would be okay since the attack had happened on their watch.)
Mamoru checked her vitals ensuring the girls that she would be fine. Hotaru woke to find Hayase right there, staring down at her with is eyes full of compassion. For a moment she wondered if she were dreaming, "Are you okay?" he asked her. That's when she remembered right up until she had passed out.
"Hai. I had a letter for you..." she admitted weakly, feeling too drained to be nervous. "Are you frail?" he asked her, tenderly holding her hand. She lifted her head up, with a knowing smile. "Hai. So were you." She said. "Hai, I was." Hayase agreed, smiling fondly down at her. "But I managed to grow out of it and get better. Don't ever give up on your own dreams. Never let yourself be limited. You can do anything you set your mind and heart at." he told her.
She nodded, a blush spreading over her face. "Hai." They shared a moment of communion in that final stare. A man who had conquered his illness in childhood, seeking to give hope to a child would was currently fighting hers.
As the day's events were over with Chibi Usa dropped her off at home while Usagi and Mamoru went home as well.
Once they got home he had intended on a nice supper and some time alone on the couch. "Mamo - chan?" she asked, a serious look on her face. He looked up even as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, "I think Hotaru - chan is very powerful, but someone that powerful could be a target for the death busters or worse yet, mistaken as a possible contender for the dark messiah by Haruka, Michiru or Setsuna." Her voice was soft and full of worry.
Her mind churning with fear over what the outer's might do to Hotaru. They would not care if it hurt Chibi Usa to lose her best friend, they only thought about saving the planet. Of destroying the silence and the Dark Messiah along with it. They were stubborn, single minded and dangerous. She had to protect Hotaru...but Hotaru could also be a threat! It was all so confusing and painful to dwell upon. But her thoughts just kept going around in grim circles she just didn't know what to do and all she wanted was to scream at how unfair fate was.
Mamoru could see the dark contemplations running wild behind her eyes. It was her turn to brood upon very unpleasant things and his turn to pull her back as she had done for him during this morning.
"I don't think they'd make a move without proof though." he stated.
Holding her closer as they looked out his living room windows to the bright sun falling towards the cityscape. He kissed her at the nape of her neck, "Has Luna spoken to you about anything in regards to the Tomoe household?" he asked, nibbling on her ear. "No. but I was also specifically asking about Kaori, not Hotaru - chan." Usagi answered. A little too distracted by his touch, Usagi couldn't think more on the subject, "You're a distraction." She muttered.
"It's supposed to be. Now let me..." the phone in the apartment went off. She sighed and went to go get it when he pulled her back, "I have a machine." holding her closely he begins a passionate series of kisses that she couldn't help but fall into, "Usagi - chan it's Haruka - san. We know your there, we saw you go up the steps with Mamoru - san. We need to talk." it was enough to pull them both away from their kiss.
Though now Mamoru was a bit upset that Haruka was ruining their time together. Who knew how much longer he would get to be with his Usagi. It was only a matter of time before the rift mended with their family. Already he could see her looking with a veiled longing to be a part of her family again. Before her parents allowed her back home. This time he knew she would go back, even to just appease her father. Their relationship would have to be toned down again, as she returned into the Tsukino fold as a dutiful daughter.
There was no love between him and Kenji, but the man understood he could not dictate whom his daughter loved. That Usagi would choose him over her family. But he would never ask that of her. Though to an extent he was happy that his fears had been unfound. So when that time came, he would send her back home with a smile.
Taking the phone Usagi invited them upstairs then clicked to end the call, "We do need to talk to them, to prevent them from going after Hotaru - chan. I know she's innocent. She's too sweet and I feel this odd energy connection to her. Its feels familiar but I just can't figure out why." She explained. A few minutes later the three outer senshi came up into his apartment. They settled around the room.
With Michiru and Setsuna on the couch, while Haruka remained standing. Leaning against the island glancing around with mild interest. She noticed, several feminine trinkets scattered around the room. That were clearly Usagi's. Haruka cocked up an eyebrow in interest. "Living together?" She asked, with an amused half smile.
Mamoru stood a little bit taller now, "Hai." it made her brow rise along with Michiru's. Setsuna looked confused, "But she's not supposed to live with you yet." her time in the time corridor hadn't shown her this development recently. "It just happened about a week or so ago, its temporary." he assured them. Setsuna appeared to be mulling over the idea of this shift in things with a logical thought.
As Usagi glanced nervously down at her hands, she felt the tension from it. That it was time for her to go home, even if she really didn't want to. But her family seemed like it was falling apart without her there. She needed to pick up the pieces and mend them before she truly did have nothing to return to. Though deep down she wished living with Mamoru could become a permanent thing.
It was Usagi that spoke up, refusing reflect further on those thoughts needing to stay focused. "What's wrong?"
Haruka went right to it, "You saw Tomoe, Hotaru's power today."
Usagi sighed at the directness of Haruka, "Hai, she seems to have a deep connection to some strange power. Once I get ahold of Rei - chan and Ami - chan I plan to dig up a bit on her. See what I can find out." they nod, "She's got an evil energy within her. I can feel it." Haruka stated looking out the windows, "A dark energy yes." Usagi corrected, needing Haruka to not jump to conclusions that Hotaru was evil right out of the gates.
"But I don't think she's even aware of it. There's another current within her that I recognize. I just can't figure out where it comes from or why." Usagi admitted to them.
"The only current other than darkness that we can feel as senshi is another senshi." Setsuna explained, already having a sense of what Usagi was talking about. Perhaps even already theorizing what the energy could be. Mamoru could tell her theories were running through her mind that she was debating and hoping that what she believed weren't true but ultimately were…whatever it was that she believed.
Usagi looked to her, "The odds of her having the strength of a senshi in her AND a negative force is highly improbable. The negative force would have been shoved out due to the inner senshi." Setsuna stated confidently. "But what if the inner senshi is dormant? Could that be possible then?" Usagi asked. The senshi of time thought on it, "Possible but doubtful." she answered finally. Usagi however was strong in her beliefs.
"I don't see anything negative with Hotaru - chan herself at all. I've not only been around her but I've gotten to know her a bit. She's a good, sweet girl. She doesn't deserve to be on your most wanted list." The long haired blonde shot back. Mamoru was stuck in the middle having been on the side of evil at one point. He knew if Hotaru had something evil within her, Usagi would be the one who could make her good again. She had saved him when even he thought he himself had been lost.
Those memories of torturing her in Beryl's courtroom chambers still haunted him, though now he did everything he could to make up for it even unconsciously when he did something as simple as produce roses for her.
"I think you're being blinded by your idealist views...again." Haruka shot back. Mamoru joined in, "Considering I had once been taken in by a very evil being…Usako never gave up on me, and eventually she saved me. I have a firm belief in her power to help Hotaru - chan should the need arise." his voice firm and effective.
Looking to Setsuna the outers saw the confirmation on her face, "There's a different between a full grown man and a small child." Michiru pointed out. "Difference? I tortured her and beat her down...literally. Yet she still brought me back. Hotaru - chan is a child and that makes it all the more necessary to ensure she doesn't get involved or tangled with the enemy. Which means keeping her safe." Mamoru shot back in a cool commanding voice to Michiru.
The aqua haired woman straightened up a bit, "Were getting off subject here." Usagi butted back in. "We're keeping an eye on Hotaru - chan. I've seen that she has power but I don't believe the darkness is hers. I think she might have an evil entity within her...perhaps. I think...I think she's a host to evil just like those daimon. Only the evil inside is far more powerful than the daimon." it didn't help matters to much.
"We'll keep an eye on her to. Can't leave it in the hands of someone who'd rather coddle the evil rather than keep an actual eye on it." Haruka snipped, "Or I could just go after a child barely a third of my size, make her so afraid she uses the power against me, forces me to harm her and end up letting her think that she has no option but evil. You throw out enough negativity in the world's breeze and it's bound to brush back your way." Usagi retorted back.
It stunned Haruka for a moment seeing her logic. If they went after Hotaru she could see the senshi as a negative and therefore not trust them into a possible positive future. But if they didn't go after her and she was left unchecked the evil could grow and take more control over her then the world. "We won't go after the child but if you are going to keep an eye on her then do so properly. We'll be watching as well." Haruka finally conceded. Leaving back out the door, she was followed by Michiru and a head nodding Setsuna.
"Wow..." Usagi huffed falling onto the couch in exhaustion. Feeling a bit off from the encounter, he wasn't in a mood now to seduce her. Getting on the couch with her, they settled into a comfortable position of her lying next to him while he flipped through the channels, "Mamo - chan..." she spoke up, "Hai?" he asked her, "I'm glad I could save you." she was so cuddled up into his lap, that when he looked down at her she looked to be an adorable smitten little kitten and he loved it.
"I'm glad you did to. I couldn't imagine my life without you." he told her, holding her close to his chest. She snuggled deeper into him, "So Hotaru – chan has powers, Chibi Usa will take that one well…at least Owen – chan's no longer an issue even though we still have Akito to deal with." Usagi muttered, "One problem at a time Usako. For now let's just enjoy the moments we have." Letting his eyes fall close he enjoyed her warmth. These moments with her would be far to fleeting. He wanted to absorb as much of her love as he could before she left.
