damonika2009: yes there will be a good battle. I was trying to be more detailed so hopefully that came across well.
trish1573: oh the sweetness will be coming…in WAVES, but it will take another ch/ep beforehand so enjoy the fighting in this one. it's long overdue.
kera69love: Akito and Usagi's father will each be making one last appearance in this season before Usagi's father returns next season… and trust me it will be good. :D
Taeniaea: thanks.
Mavebelikova: I know Seiya will be a challenge but fun to write. I already want to put them into uncomfortable yet near intimate situations that Usagi will cringe at but Seiya will act all haute about. He's very comfortable in his own skin and I think that with mamo still there they would definitely clash.
lunaluna2709: im trying to keep it at JUST two, depends on the very last ch/ep that 'Shaydoe' is finishing writing out. As for Chibi Usa she has that mind set but she will get better…with time. Uranus and Neptune have stronger powers yes but having them stronger and being told they because of that they had to fight the evils from beyond the solar system kind of made them a bit ego minded. As for Rei and Luna, in the anime they did portray Usagi as being lazy and dim witted so that was why they down graded her. I wanted to emphasis that she's growing up and their seeing that and getting out of the rut of 'Usagi's this and that'. It'll just take some time. Usagi has had confident issues when it came to mamo so its hard to focus on your strengths when all a lot of people do is focus on your weaknesses. The girls didn't want her to fight as they felt it was two against one…but at the same time they REALLY want to kick Uranus and Neptune in the asses for their behavior and their disrespect at some points of Usagi.
LoveInTheBattleField: will do.
Wow the reviews are lowering to only 7…maybe this battle will spark things up. It is just this one and the next one, unless that is to long then I will split it into two different parts but will be one basic LONG ending to the season.
Sailor Moon S 'Rise of Messiah' ch/ep.48
"Your right. I am a crybaby and naive. But I still have done nothing wrong." I relented, wanting to stop this fight before it got out of control. "Sailor Saturn may have been the Guardian of Ruin but she is still one of us! A Senshi of this Solar System and a part of my future court." I was seeking to defuse this confrontation, approaching them cautiously in my civilian form. "I thought we understood each other. I felt your warmth, and kindness when I was lost. You offered me your strength, your light shone through me, guided me as I fought Pharaoh 90."
I was in tears, I knew it. But I couldn't help it. I was so upset and frustrated and hurt all at once. I did not want to fight them. "Undo your transformations...all of you!" I commanded.
"If you want us to back down, then you have to force us to." Neptune countered. She was back to back with Uranus, glaring down at me with contempt.
I felt backed into a corner, I had no choice. "If this is the only way, so be it!" I snarled down at my feet, angry at them for forcing me into this fight, and upset at myself for not being intelligent enough to figure out a better way. I felt sick inside at the prospect that I was about to fight my own people. It all felt so wrong it hurt my heart terribly.
Raising my hand above my head I called down my transformation.
"Moon Cosmic Power!" I felt the light bathing me I spun within it's energy wave. My school fuku faded away, as my battle uniform appeared over my body. Bending and twisting within it's beautiful, glow the harmony of light and love washing over me. At the very, very end, my tiara and odango shields appeared as I stood ready for battle before everyone.
I felt Tux close by as he had transformed himself and hid in the shadows waiting to be needed. "Oh this is a long time coming." Neptune charge her powers at me. "Deep Submerge!"
I didn't bother ducking, walked through my Inner Senshi to take the front line. Purposely letting her attack it hit me full on, it threw my back. Hurtling me into a container with a resounding clang. It hurt badly but I needed to show that I could take a hit before dodging one. Besides I had been hit by one not more than a day ago. "Sailor Moon!" the girls called out.)
"You're gonna pay for that! Mars Fire Surround!" Mars screamed, charging up her fireballs.
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" Jupiter arms crackled with lightening as she backed her fellow Senshi.
Stop them!
(I told Tux. He threw a rose at their feet, startling them both. Their attack evaporated with their concentration broken. "Tuxedo mask?!" Mars stated in alarm. Finding the caped man standing tall atop a tower of cargo container's, his silk cape snapping in the wind. Deep blue eyes gleaming in the half light of the overcast day. Filled with understanding, yet also burdened with have to watch me fight alone.
"Sometimes the fighting is necessary on the road to understanding. They need to get this out. Neptune's right it's a LONG time coming." he remarked. He nodded to me as I stood up. "Here I thought the little princess was gonna cry and turn tail. It would be wise to do so." Uranus warned, "Yeah well maybe I'm NOT so wise." I retorted. "Besides I love everyone of my Senshi, even Saturn." I stated, staring meaningfully at both of them. "Even if their being hard headed and stubborn. I will always care for them."
"I…that's not enough… 'World Shaking'!" Uranus called out instead. This one might actually hurt me as her powers always did go from the ground up taking her enemies out more brutally than Neptune's powers did. I jumped up quickly and used my senshi strength to gain some air, doing a forward flip I landed myself squarely behind Uranus's startled form. "Where the hell is she?" she looked about for me.
Neptune seemed to be looking as well till her eyes fell on me. "Behind you!" She called out. The disadvantage of two against one. Uranus started to attack me with dozens of high speed hand to hand moves. I ducked her head blows, dodged her swipes from her hands that tried to hit me in the chest or the stomach, and deflected attacks that got to close for me to waver off. I was trying to avoid hurting her or getting hurt by her.
She stopped after a particularly close high kick didn't make its mark upon my face. I ended up backing up in front of Neptune. She grappled my arms in a strong hold. Bending my arm at the elbow to prevent my escape, pinning it behind my back as she forced me to kneel. "Time for the finale Sailor Moon." Uranus gathered up enough speed for her next ultimate attack. It would be enough to weaken me, to prove that they were right when in reality it wouldn't do anything more than make Tuxedo mask upset.
It also made me wonder though… if he could, would he try to ban them from his world...? If he could that is.
I breathed and ignored the pain in my arm from Neptune's cruel hold on it. I briefly wondered if I moved wrong that the hold would break my arm. Uranus was coming in hard and fast. "Listen to me very carefully. You two are my senshi...my guardians from the outer solar system...I am your princess...I will be your future queen..." I held my head up, defiance in my eyes along with my anger over their need to fight me.
"I will be heard and I will be obeyed unless ALL of my senshi are against it! You gave me your energy that day to help me become Super Sailor Moon. If you didn't agree then you wouldn't have given me any type of support! And you know it!" I spoke low. My crystal came to life inside my broach, it released a brilliant flare of white light. Startling Neptune who's hold upon my arm slackened just enough for me to break free.
"What the - ?" she cried out bracing her face from the light.
I jumped out of the way, seconds before Uranus collided with Neptune. Dust and debris was everywhere. Once it settled and cleared up both senshi were seen laying side by side on the ground. For a moment Uranus looked stunned that she had been bested. Neptune looked the same but both however had a shocking look of relief on their faces. I was totally shell shocked by that sight. I hadn't thought it would ever be there.
They stood up however, not in defeat as one would expect but in acceptance and BOWED? I was totally lost, "You are an excellent a fighter, as expected princess." Neptune remarked. I was still floored by the turn of events. They fell on bended knee, then bowed down in respect and loyalty as if they had been waiting to be able to do so. Was that a test or something for me? "No not princess...future Neo Queen Serenity." Neptune finished off.
"We are thankful to you for showing us your great power at the last second. It was a clever tactical maneuver that only a seasoned senshi would know." Uranus stated, an odd sense of pride in her voice towards me. "It seems that we were wrong to misjudge you or to doubt your command. This earth is in the right hands for a brighter future." Uranus smiled.
"Finally we've completed our mission. The true 'messiah of light' has been found." Uranus looked to me, her sky blue eyes sparkling with happiness…at ME. I balked, "Nani? ME?! But I thought we confirmed it wasn't me?" I was utterly confused now. They both stood up, "It turns out that even messiah's need to come into their powers over time. We were under the impression that she - you, would be full of power instantly. We were wrong...gomen." Neptune bowed her head in apology.
They made to leave when I stopped them. "Wait! I want to know where Hotaru - chan is." Neptune looked back to me, "She is safe and happy back with her father." She stated with a wistful sigh. I smiled, glad that Hotaru and her papa both got a second chance, "That's great, Arigato." they both walked off as the senshi came up to me, "Things are looking up..." Jupiter said. "Hai..." I agreed.
"Now let's talk about what's going on with your father." I sighed but turned to Mercury as we all de-transformed, "What do you want to know?" I asked feeling a little tired but really just not feeling like going into it. Though I knew we had to. "For starters do you plan to move in with Mamoru – san, permanently? Or eventually go back home." she asked me, concern on her face for my bold choices.
"I don't know how that's going to go. I know Mamo – chan is happy to have me with him but I miss my family to." I truly missed them so much. I even missed my annoying brother to be honest. "If papa were to accept Mamo - chan I think I might move back in...but at the same time I can't even sleep without him next to me in bed, now." I really had meant that as in actually SLEEPING with him. But I was instantly getting blushing, smiles from each one of the girls showing subtly their dirty little minds. I rolled my eyes and giggled.
But they didn't, "Probably because your too busy making love!" Minako sing sang, "No, I really have a problem sleeping at night without him there." I made myself more clear, stating the truth to her. "Oh...but that's still so sweet..." She had lovely hearts in her eyes, "She needs to feel his warmth, of their true love to be able to sleep at night." Minako may have been over dramatizing but it was true.
"Hai, I know...it really sucks..." as much as I missed my family I would deeply miss being with Mamo - chan every night. My nights would become sleepless and my schooling might suffer from it. I couldn't have that, "I think I need to stay with Mamo - chan. Maybe on the weekends, I could visit my family. Try to re – connect with them…with papa." I tried, "Usagi - chan..." Ami started. I winced, knowing a gentle if logical reprimand for my rash choices was coming.
"While your personal life with Mamoru – san is no business of mine. I still think you should go back to your parents place to live, at least for the remainder of the school year." the girls looked to her then to me, "Ami – chan…" Minako started, "Gomen, but it's highly frowned upon for a young girl of her tender age, to be living outside her home with a young man."
"I worry for you Usagi – chan. You know this is true." Makoto looked to her with concern. Ami knew she was thinking about it herself since she was living on her own…without parents to be concerned with.
"You're not living with your boyfriend and you are nearly a year older than the rest of us." Ami pointed out, Makoto nodded, "Usagi - chan if you'd like we could all go with you but for the sake of your reputation and Mamoru - san's. If that Akito found out about this, he can destroy both your respectable images in the community. I suggest you go back home." it was then that a protest was heard.
Mamo - chan had cleared his throat, walking out of the shadows of the storage yard. As we head through the break in the chain link fence for the narrow, well used street. Ami felt bad but still looked strong in her word choice.
"You know I'm right." She stated confidently, "Hai, you are. But at this point it would be mute for her to go back. When her true place is living with me." I couldn't help but want to swoon like a princess to her prince at his possessive demeanor. "Akito will get what's coming to him. I've been talking with people, those with influence around campus." this I did not know of.
"Apparently while his family has power and lots of it HE does not. Always calls on daddy to do his dirty work for him. If I can breach his inner network which I am working on then Akito won't be an issue. Usako will be free of him doing anything to her reputation or mine." Mamo - chan stated confidently. Ami nodded but then protested on another level, "And what of the relationship with her father?"
I looked down sadly, "Hai, but like I said I already - " Ami stopped me, "I can see this will be a pointless argument, both of your minds are made up. There is no reasoning with you. Mamoru - san..." She turned to him, "I understand your love for Usagi - chan, but this isn't the old times where it was expected for her to be married off by now. For goodness sakes, she isn't even sixteen yet! In these times your presence in her life as anything serious is frowned upon by most people…many people to be honest." She began.
"They will assume you're too old for her. That you're using her. That you need to be with someone closer to your own age. They will see this as something sick and depraved. We all know that you love Usagi – chan more than your own life, that you'd rather die than lose her, but not everyone sees that or knows that." She countered, while he nodded, "We'll deal with it." he retorted. "Hai, I suppose you will." She shook her head then looked back to myself, "I meant no negativity I just worry over you." Ami assured.
"Hai, I know." I smiled, "But I think I should be at Mamo - chan's for now, try to see my parents. Build things back up over the course of a few weekends." Ami sighed and accepted that. I knew she worried over how students would look at me or perceive things if it ever got out but I could care less. It's getting towards the end of the year, I'll be studying for High school entrance exams this next term. I'm working my way out of this cheating scandal at school, adding this I know would be a huge hit and Ami's just trying to have my back like she always does.
Speaking of, "How about later on today we get together at the temple to study for those exams?" I suggest. The girls nod their heads, used now to my need to study whereas Mamo - chan looked torn, "Nani?" I asked, "I know studying is very important, on the next top thing on my list of what's important..." he said, "Demo...?" I asked. He looked down to me like I was taking away his favorite toy.
"I wanted to spend some time with you...for another day or two." his eye brow arched at the end as his mind filled with the different things he'd like to do with me. Images of myself tied to his bed with his neck ties or with my hair as he rode me in several different positions before in one of them I was flipped around into a 'cowgirl' position as he jackhammered himself into me from behind without pause.
I gave a delightful shudder at the images as they sent spirals of pleasure through me, "MINA!" I yelled. They all stopped, "Make it at the temple in two days- " Mamo - chan cut me off, we smiled as he transformed back into tuxedo mask and jumped with me in his arms away from the girls. He needed to get me back to his apartment. Obvious as he raced back there with every intention to get me into bed.)
The girls looked on with sweat drops on their heads as he seemed very intent to take their leader away to ravish her once more, "Does he have no shame when it comes to her?" Rei spoke out, slightly miffed that he seemed to be taking up more time with their leader. As of lately other than senshi meetings or schooling or battles they hardly had a chance to hang out with their odango headed friend. "Give him a break." Makoto stated, crossing her arms behind her head and staring after them wistfully.
It gained attention from the rest of the girls, "The man has an incredibly deep connection with her. Deeper than any of us do. He probably felt how close she was to dieing inside Pharaoh 90. Felt her pain but was only able to come when Chibi Usa's pure heart was returned to her body. He must have raced his ass off to get here when he did." Rei looked towards where the vanishing couple had previously been.
"The first thing that is probably on his mind is - " Ami cut her off, "There's no need to say sex!" then she blushed as she said it. "I was going to say he's probably thinking of spending as much time with her as possible. That's his soul mate and he could have lost her in the last 24 hours." the girls nodded in understanding. Mamoru would be needy for a little bit, wanting more time with her right now.
"Besides this'll give you a chance to spend some time with Yurrichio." Makoto smirked at Rei's obviously eager smile. No longer embarrassed that she had Yurrichio as a boyfriend. Their bond was getting really close as well. Rei was starting to feel the same loving connection that Usagi was feeling with Mamoru. Rei smiled as she couldn't be happier, "Hai, I guess you're right. Later girls." She waved off to them as she left.
"I'll go get the assignments prepped up for the practice exams. I have a feeling that we won't be seeing either of them for a few days." Ami muttered walking off, "And we can work on the snacks for the study session." Minako smiled slung her arm around Makoto as best as she could what with the Amazon's tall frame and all. Minako had been dying to have Makoto try out a new recipe with her, now was her chance to get her to do so. Makoto laughed and nodded as the two went back to her apartment.
Luna and Artemis's had remained in hiding during the battle, now they were tailing the girls as the kept a good distance behind, trotting unnoticed close to the warehouses. "So Usagi - chan was the 'messiah' all along..." she muttered, "Hai, fitting if I do I so say so myself. But this also means that the 'chalice' now destroyed, has still had its effect on the silver crystal." Artemis stated. His tone definite.
"Hai, she'll be able to undergo a second more powerful transformation as long as she has the power to do so. As it stands if she takes a break from the silver crystal for a while and just works on strengthening her mind to its usage she could in the long run make it stronger to."
Luna's words were wise, "What do we do about Mamoru - san's golden crystal?" Artemis asked, "The golden crystal is equal strength to the silver crystal, however its connection to its only living earth royal, is considerably weak. He's had no time to train with it. Besides we still have NO idea where it is." Luna argued the point. Artemis agreed, "I just hope that he can figure it out before another battle comes up. The enemies keep getting stronger and stronger." to that Luna had to agree as well.
"What I think we should do Luna..." she looked to him, "Is do what we can to get evidence of foul play on this Akito man." it was a complete 180 to what they had been discussing. Her eyes twitched at his subject change. "Look there's nothing we can do right now about the golden crystal, this is something we can do SOMETHING about." she nodded seeing his point. They raced off to find the man. The goal in mind to track him, watch him, wait for an opening and snoop to their hearts content.
After two hours of searching they finally found Akito's place on the Todai campus. It hadn't been easy to navigate through the University. They had to hide or else risk someone wanting to take them home to nurture them. Or to have animal control called on them for 'wild cats' being in the area. Evasive maneuvers were their only option. Sneaking into the dorms they waited patiently in the commons area.
A large living room with a flat screen t.v along one wall and several couches and tables scattered about. It was a spartan white washed room, littered with half eaten bento's, bags and chips and pop bottles. The men who lived here were slobs, and had little mind to tidy up. The room smelled funny, all musty and rotten from the garbage. Luna's nose twitched at the foul scent, as she was hiding beneath a thread bare couch, watching the tenant's mill in and out.
With Artemis hunched down beside her, ears swiveling as he listened to the young men ranting over professor's and tests. Hushed conversations, concerning rumors of fellow students and misconduct between professor's. Until their target finally wandered into the common room guiding a young woman with his hand upon the small of her back. She was dressed sweetly in a pleated black skirt and pearl white blouse.
His long blonde haired companion – looking a little to close to a certain blonde they knew. He ushered her to the main entrance, with polite words of thanks for a wonderful time. Then headed back to his shared flat, with the cats skulking after him. Luna and Artemis darted through the closing front door and quickly found a hidden place amid the discarded coats on the floor of the front closet. They waited for hours till he fell asleep before going into the apartment and began the adventurous snooping.
Luna hacked into the computers mainframe, having learned a few tricks from Ami over time, and discovered his plans. "How vile!" She hissed under her breath. Artemis joined her on the computer desk. "He has very obscene pictures of her and Mamoru - san on here. This is HIGHLY incriminating." Artemis agreed with Luna. It seemed as if Akito had developed a slight obsession over this course of time.
"Such lewdness..." Luna was disgusted by the imagery but became shocked and near heart failure at the next image. "He's...he's..." she was becoming catatonic, "Very disturbed." Artemis stated not noticing Luna's shaken state. Akito had used his computer programs to manipulate the images to make it look as if HE was having sex with Usagi NOT Mamoru. Artemis was becoming ill while Luna was still in her unresponsive, Hentai coma.
"Very disturbing." it was what on there that had Artemis upset for Luna's mistress, "He plans to blackmail her with these. The originals to the school and the others for Mamoru - san." she shook off her shock, forcing herself to focus. "Mamoru - san would never fall for such a lie. The school however..." he muttered now knowing how well the school would react to such a thing...if at all. He would be expelled immediately. His future within the medical field possibly ruined.
"We need to destroy all of this." Luna hissed. He agreed and the two proceeded to erase all of the images from the hard drive. It was Artemis looking about the desk that stumbled across a strangely doddle up notepad. Opening it with his paw he saw some more photos, Polaroid's of Usagi and her daily bouts. Just daily things, mostly with Mamoru, some of them just of her getting dressed and undressed.
Artemis closed it up and pulled on it with his teeth, "We should take this with us to dispose of." they had no way of trashing it there. The stuff on the computer yes, this no. Luna nodded in agreement before deleting the last picture, "We need to get this out of here before he stirs." he motioned as Akito seemed to mutter in his sleep from his room down the side hall. The two cats made a dash for the exit.
It was a slightly open balcony door just off from the galley kitchen in the main area, when he muttered in his sleep, "Oh Usagi...gonna fuck you so hard..." both cats blanched, mouths wide open before zooming out of the apartment, notepad in hand – or rather mouth as Akito woke up from his ever erotic dream.
Akito's bedroom was a sterile, impersonal environment. The walls were plain, with a single cot and bookcase filled with texts and educational materials. The room had a mild atmosphere that was nothing like the bold and arrogant man who lived there.
The one window was small, with the plastic beige slatted blinds drawn. The pale morning sun cast upon the wooden flooring in horizontal stripes. The man stirred beneath the rumple black blankets upon his modest bed. Casting them aside, he stood up still half asleep. In nothing but a pair of red striped boxers and dreamy expression. His mind lingering upon the exquisite dream he had of his obsession.
Her voice still echoing in his mind eye, throatily calling his name as she was riding him passionately. He had fucked her brains out last night in his dreams, until they were both spent and she had fallen into a soundless sleep in his arms. His late night with a random blonde had soothed his appetite for the delicious Usagi.
The images of her were plaguing him for over a week now, after he began indulging in jerking off to her many erotic pictures. She had become like a drug to him, obsessing over every detail of her. Destroying Mamoru and laying claim to her permanently had become a driving force in his life. The fact that he hadn't completed his plans was driving him insane. He wanted to possess her now!
And he wanted him gone! His blackmail was full proof, he could discredit Chibi anytime. He was just waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike. He had even figured out his plan more in-depth to bring Mamoru down and for good this time. But decided to keep the images to himself for a tiny while longer.
He had decidedly dumped Amber when she heard him calling out Usagi's name while having sex. She yelled, and adamantly told him he was wasting his time. It had enraged him, so he told her she was nothing more than a money grabbing whore and promptly left. Then he started to hang around Usagi's school more. His need to get even with Mamoru for taking what he believed to be his had escalated. Usagi's constant refusal of him fuelled the need to take her even more. He wasn't used to being shot down.
He just couldn't get a moment alone with her. So he settled for 'quite observer' also known as 'stalker'. He knew he was getting a little to invested into his revenge. But when he found out that Mamoru had applied to a few hospitals in the area, for an internship. The very same hospitals, he too had applied for. After losing his TA position to the man, he was going to put up with him stealing his internship as well.
He'd been furious with the news. He needed to take Mamoru down and in order to do that he needed to take Usagi from him. Plus if he could blackmail her into being with him he'd have the perfect charming eye candy on his arm. Usagi could light up a room with her smile alone and make the most dower old man adore her. That's what he needed to gain access to the worlds that even his father's money could not.
Decided he need another round of jerking off he smiled at the thought of seeing his naked Usagi once more. He figured he knew her almost as well bodily as Mamoru did...visually that is.
Heading for the living room since his roommate was out cold in his own room, it was crazy early too. He knew he had the whole place to himself for a few more hours. However at discovering the files deleted and even emptied from his recycling bin he knew they had been tampered with. "What the FUCK?" he exploded, scaring his roommate in the next bed awake. He just happened to have finished a set finals yesterday and had decided to catch up on his missed sleep. Sleeping into the late morning without a care.
Akito looked to be a raging bull, all red in the face and eyes blazing. His roommate lounged against the doorframe of his room, as Akito seeing the obvious confusion and sleep on the guys face he waved him off. Stormed down the hall, he threw on some clothes, took his hard drive and left out. His roommate groaned, "What the hell dude?" as he fell back asleep.
Akito was currently to fuelled by anger at not being able to get off that day to care how he might look to outsiders that considered him always cool, calm in an control. As it stood many students were becoming more aware of the silent battle between him and Mamoru, but no one spoke a word of it. No one would dare do so. If anything they'd all prefer it, if the battle ended as both students were both academic gods in their own ways.
Luna and Artemis went to Mamoru's. Easily sneaking into the apartment via the unlocked balcony door. The one that was recently vandalized by an overzealous crescent beam, thanks to Minako. Slipping inside the sliding door, the cats padded silently through the living room and down the hall. They crept closer to the bedroom, Luna was rightfully cautious. Listening for any breathy sounds that would give the couples rampant sex life away.
Finding everything silent, she felt in the clear. The door was open by a few inches. Luna's head barely fit in when she saw the eye gouging moment of her lifetime...again. There was Usagi, in Mamoru's lap, legs crossed behind his back, his hands molded to her ass as she seemed to be in a state of near blinding bliss while he was gritting his teeth caught up in his own pleasure.
No sound emitted from her mouth, nor Mamoru's as both seemed to be caught in this seemingly perfect moment. He was bent, sitting on his heels as he gave her the ride for the day. Both were entirely exhausted, and wanted to fall asleep in one another's arms. Finally after another minute of letting the orgasm pass, they slumped. Her in his arms him forward into the bed as Artemis spoke up, "What's going on? Am I missing something?" his voice though low was loud in the otherwise soundless atmosphere.
It scared Luna half to death. Mamoru and Usagi were too tired to care. All he did was pull the covers over them for some privacy. They would take a nap for 30 minutes before heading for the study session. "We have urgent business to discuss with regards to Akito." Luna regained herself, padding into the room with an air of seriousness. That caught Mamoru's attention quickly, "What is it?" he asked.
He cracked only one of his eyes open, unwilling to be removed from his beloved. Usagi groaned and propped herself up, draping an arm over his shoulder and bracing her chin on his biceps giving Luna tired if inquiring eyes.
"Here's a notepad that we thought you might wanna see before we destroy it." Luna sat on the floor trying to ignore the heavy scent of sex. While Artemis padded in with the notebook in his mouth. Mamoru reached for it lamely, not bothering to move from the bed. When Luna suggested, "You might want to be removed from her to see this." she stated. Mamoru grunted but did as advised and was glad he did.
After he threw on some boxers he read the entries and saw the Polaroid's, "He's been stalking you Usako..." he stated angrily. She pulled the covers up to shield herself as he showed her the naked photos.
She suddenly felt quite dirty and exposed. Her skin was crawling and her stomach was twisting miserably. How could someone be so filled with poison? He was becoming consumed by his own hatred of Mamoru. That his actions were now criminal, it worried her to what extent he would push this vengeance to. The bigger question was to what further extremes Mamoru would retaliate to?
"Oh by the kami." she was in a state of anger and fear. She felt completely invaded by his actions, it was to much that he had gone and done that. "He's gone off the deep end." she told Mamoru, "Hai, I'll have to work a little bit more to end his connections that way any plans he might have will fall through." the cats exchanged looks before Artemis brought it up, "We deleted the images from his computer."
Mamoru turned to him, "But it seems that he had planned something vile with those images of you and her having an intimate relationship. I figure he was going to assassinate your character on Campus. Destroy your good name and kill you career prospects in the future. At the same time convince you Mamoru - san that Usagi was cheating on you, with him. With those same images, he replace your head in them with his own."
Mamoru stood up, his mouth had gone dry and his heart was racing. Panic was setting in, if these went public his life as a doctor would be over before it even began.
"We destroyed them though and without that his plan falls through. This is just to let you know what he's doing. We plan to destroy the photos to." Artemis spoke up. Mamoru nodded his head, "Arigato. We'll look it over later on before getting rid of them...though..." they all looked to him. "If he plans to try something the notepad can be used against him." Luna agreed, "While normally I wouldn't. This is one case where I would have to agree and say give him hell!" Mamoru nodded in acceptance of her words.
"Arigato for the news. Now if you don't mind we'd like to get at least 30 minutes of shut eye before the study session." both cats nodded and walked out. Not wanting to stay any longer in a room filled with the over whelming scent of sex and sweat. "Mamo – chan, Akito's taking things too far." Usagi warned, as he settled himself beside her once again. "Hai, I plan to talk to him." he snarled.
His voice now carrying a deadly intent to do far more then just have a simple conversation with the man. "I have something of his that can be used against him." he smirked, placing a chaste kiss upon her temple. Usagi smiled.
Usagi never slept, merely losing herself in her thoughts and enjoying the warmth and security of being held. While Mamoru pretended to be asleep, breathing deeply as he formulated his plans to get rid of Akito permanently. In time they knew they would have to leave the peaceful cocoon of their bed and face the day.
"I want you to go study with the girls today." He commented, as he dressed in a pair of worn jeans and a tight black muscle shirt. Throwing on his dark green suit jacket to look a bit more serious and less like some kind of street thug.
He was dressing for a beat down and she knew it. But she said nothing. Instead she swallowed the lump in her throat as she finished buttoning up a long sleeve blouse, then pulled a long, heavy navy sweater over top. Pulling up her long grey leggings, snapping the elastic just under the knees. Then slipping into her sporty jean skirt, with a few hops then quickly buttoning it up to be snug.
"Mamoru do I dare ask why you want me at a safe distance?" She inquired meekly.
He paid her his most charming smile, running his fingertips down her cheek towards her chin before gripping it hard as he guided her face upward, pressing his lips to hers. The kiss was soft at first, then became more heated as he applied more pressure upon hers. When her mind was left swimming in a state of passion he pulled away.
"You already fought your battle. This one is mine, and mine alone." He stated, his eyes burning with a cold malice. Usagi could only take a deep breath as he stalked out of their bedroom. Her prince was going to war, his pride and his integrity cloaking him. He would protect her this time, if this was all that he could do. He would make sure Akito would pay dearly for his unjust intrusions into their private life. He would come to realize his transgressions, and be punished severely for them. Mamoru would not put up with his schemes any longer.
Mamoru drove her to the temple only to leave a startled Usagi standing on the sidewalk, "What are you going to do?" she asked, bending over to study him through the open car window. Realizing he wasn't getting out and was planning on abandoning her there. She was standing at the base of the steps, clutching the neck of her navy v-neck sweater. Dressed in a pair of tight form fitted jeans and a warm white cotton sweater. The cold wind snapping her tails behind her, sending shivered down her back.
"I'm gonna have a talk with Akito. Make it known to stay away from you or else." He stated, his eyes cold and impassive. While Usagi wasn't wanting them to fight it seemed Akito was bringing this on himself. "Don't kill him. I'd rather you not be in jail. It would just be another excuse for papa to hate you." She sighed, shuddering against a blast of frozen wind. He nodded before giving her an air kiss goodbye and a curt wave, before leaving off, "I wonder how this will go." she muttered, shaking her head as she headed up the steps.
Mamoru arrived at the Todai University, heading with a self-assured stride through the gates before the great stone clock tower. Standing amid the milling students in the courtyard, all huddled in their winter coats and scarfs. Scanning the bleak, winter grey campus his intent clear as day. Find Akito, confront Akito, make him wish he never met Usagi...or himself.
He scoured the overly bright halls of the lab buildings, the hushed ambient corridors of the library, even trolling through the neon lit food kiosks and coffee shops housed in the administration buildings. His tireless hunt was coming up empty. He had found no trace of Akito. He had no choice but to steak out the man's dorm room. He hung out, leaning against the wall of the corridor just outside his front door.
Dorm-mates came and went, moving quickly and cautiously past him. The aura of threat heavy around him, as he glowered at each one in turn. It was late in the afternoon, the am early dark was falling over the campus as the overcast sky refused to allow the sun to shine. Akito returned to his dorm, oblivious to the lion that lay in wait outside his apartment. The man stopped dead in the hall, his arms once full of books dropped to the ground in shock.
The deadly intent in Mamoru's eyes was making him nervous. The storm of hatred and threat mirrored back at him as frightening. He was watching Akito like a hawk, tracing it's prey. With his arms crossed over his powerful chest, the straining muscles of his arms hidden within the loose sleeves of his green jacket. Mamoru licked his front teeth like a predator, as Akito watched him. His eyes daring about like a mouse searching for cover. An explosion was about to happen and he knew it.
Then he bolted, running back down the hall at full speed. Akito could feel Mamoru trailing behind him. He did not want a scene here in his own home, the backlash would be unlivable. He need to take this away from the prying eyes and rumor mill of his fellow dorm-mates. He rushed out the front entrance and into the grey evening, heading as far as he could make to a more secluded part of the campus.
Hiding within a deserted hallway, in the Kinesiology departmental building next door. The off white building housed the gym, sports field and long halls of classrooms. It would be close to vacant right now at this time of day. If a confrontation was going to happen it was the perfect place. Akito knew he couldn't out power Mamoru and if he was going to get beat down he didn't want any spectator's.
Mamoru seeing this coming rounded the other corner and went to the opposite end of the hallway. He saw Akito looking for him around the corner. He couldn't help but smirk at the useless, foreseeable maneuver. Years of tactical training from his time as a prince coming in handy right now.
Pulling the notepad out he briefly thought he should have made copies but it was too late now, his need for blood was to strong. The man had been spying on his Usagi, had been doing kami knows what to her picture at night, and all to get under his skin and take away what he had worked so hard for. He wouldn't let the man continue. "Akito." He called, his voice low and commanding. The man had two seconds to react, spinning around after he barely managed to contain his shriek of shock at being caught. Finding Mamoru an inch behind him.
Mamoru slammed his fist into his face continuing to use the shock to his advantage. Mamoru grinned in satisfaction as he felt the man's nose crunch under his fist and a blood spurt out of his left nostril. Not needing to worry about other students reporting the fight. The hallway Akito ducked in was in for the back classrooms, as far from the main hallways to get to the gym as possible. It was perfect for their confrontation.
He pulled the notepad up letting Akito see it. His once pale face became enraged, as he pinched his nose attempting to stop the flow of blood. "You stole it! But how?" trying to figure out how he could have done it.
As far as he knew Mamoru had been with Usagi all night long. It's what his notes stated about them and their daily habits. "Never mind that. Here's the deal. You are to stay away from my Usako. You're going to suggest someone else help her since your studies are becoming too much and you're going to leave me alone as well. Unless you want your bizarre obsession with MY girlfriend exposed to the police." Mamoru threatened
Akito was enraged, no one blackmailed him and got away with it. "You really think I'll stop at your pathetic attempt at threatening?" Akito asked, pressing on one side of his nose flat and blowing his blood right at Mamoru. As his blood splattered over Mamoru's black shirt, Akito felt somewhat vindicated. He wouldn't bow down so easily to Mamoru. Wiping the blood from his cut lip he smirked, and just letting his nose drip.
"This..." he points to his bloodied face, "Proves to me how close I am to taking that sweet little 'Usako' as you keep repeatedly calling her from you." Mamoru tightened his fists, trembling with contained wrath.
"Has she told you about our encounters in the office? How she looks when I corner her? Like a sexy little rabbit being caught by the big bad w - " Mamoru punched him again, seething with building rage as he smugly watched the man's head snap back again. "I'll take that as a no." Akito smiled dryly, "You will leave her alone." Mamoru snarled, trying to keep himself from killing the man.
But Akito kept going, glancing up and to the right at a security camera now swiveling in their direction. He was a shrewd calculating fighter. If he enraged him enough he could have Mamoru kicked off campus for violence, his future gone. That camera would capture it all!
"You know as well as I do that the moment she gives in, which she will, as they all do, that I'll give it to her so good she'll be walking funny EVERY morning that I deem fit." He grinned as Mamoru took every ounce of his control to NOT kill Akito on the spot, "You touch her without her consent and I will..." Mamoru was shaking with rage fighting not to fulfill his threat right then and there. "You'll what? And that's mine!"
Akito made a grab for the note pad. Mamoru pulled it from his reach, "NO I'm gonna hang onto this. Make sure you stay away from Usako and myself." Mamoru stated.
Akito refused to go quietly. He tackled Mamoru to the ground, aiming to get his precious notepad back. He'd gone a day without anything to use to get off on Usagi and he didn't realize how much he had become dependent on it, until it disappeared. He had to go off memory alone and the one barely bigger than a thumbnail picture he had on his phone that kept blanking out every 15 seconds was useless.
The notepad went flying as some of Usagi's polaroid pictures that weren't tapped down, scattered over the hallway. Mamoru had more extensive hand to hand training though. Taking the tackle in, he grabbed Akito and slammed his knee into his gut. Akito grunted not having expected it before Mamoru slammed his knee up again and shoved him away, "Give up?" he asked, acting bored when really he was anticipating Akito's next move.
Akito went for a left hook, "That TA position was mine and you know it! And now the internships!" his voice got a little bit higher with the level of anger he was feeling. Akito was letting his jealousy control him now and it would hinder him rather than help him. "Don't think I didn't find out about you getting them!" then a right hook, "You self-righteous prick!" but Mamoru blocked both with ease. Using the sides of his arms to bat his strikes away.
It was clear at this point that Akito was going off of nothing but rage. The man didn't know how to fight very well, that was for sure. His attacks were deflected with ease. Either that or Mamoru's training had been more extensive than he remembered it being back during the Silver Millennium. In any case he just wanted to make sure he wouldn't take Akito's lack of experience as a way of being cocky.
Akito made for a front kick that Mamoru rose his leg up and blocked, "But you know what I won't let that deter me from my goals. It will all be mine I guarantee that." Akito snarled, like a cornered animal. Mamoru was looking oddly at Akito as if he were starting to lose it. Making sure his thoughts were cut off from Usagi, he thought to himself…where in the hell did your head go? I knew you were a single minded, stubborn piece of filth, that you could set your sights on something and never let go...but this is ridiculous.
He had turned into a monster, striking out blindly without thought or purpose. Just wanting to tear him to pieces, Akito's eyes had become dull, his competitive nature absorbed by desperation as his shattered ambitions twisted his mind. Becoming a living wrath of vengeance.
"Then in the end..." Mamoru kicked his leg down at the knee joint making Akito cry out in pain but still managed to smile at his next words, "I'll be pounding that sweet little Usako of yours making her forget all about you." Mamoru snapped at him, "This is your LAST warning." he threw the man away from him. Slamming him into the wall, mercilessly. He was determined to leave when Akito made one last ditch effort. A lie on his lips.
"She tell you how it felt when we kissed?" Mamoru stopped dead in his tracks. Betrayal went through him until he recalled how deceitful this man was. No doubt lying his way to break them up. Thinking he had him Akito went on, "How it felt when I touched her skin. Felt the smooth silky texture." Mamoru began turning his head around prepared to smile in laughter at Akito's lame attempts.
Akito thinking he had him finished off with his biggest lie to date, "How it felt when I slipped my hand beneath her skirt in the study room at her school and had her ride it? Or when I tasted her lower lips. Such sweet honey." Mamoru cringed but only slightly as he turned with an amused smirk on his face, "What part of you thinks I'll believe that even for a second?" Akito looked to his face in disbelief.
"Usako and I are too solid for me to believe your lies for even a nano second." Akito looked to him in disbelief, pale and trembling. He had nothing, his final gambit had been for nothing.
Akito was beyond enraged at that point, his lies not even making Mamoru think twice about Usagi's love for him. His faith in her not even wavering. It seemed he realized he would be going down and not getting anything for his efforts. "You're going down." Akito roared as he went to tackle Mamoru again. His attack was clumsy and ill effective. Mamoru made one last hit letting his hit fist slam into Akito's stomach on impact. The man went down to his knees.
Not having truly fought before he was ill prepared for the hits he had taken. He fell down as Mamoru stood over him, only bending down to grab the near forgotten notepad. He waved it in front of him, "Leave us alone or the Police will see this." Mamoru flashed him the images of Usagi undressing. "I doubt your father can protect you from Stalking charges. This could ruin your father's good name. How low and dishonorable his chosen son had turned out."
He was right, and Akito was humbled. Mamoru had him cornered, using his own revenge against him. He stood pale and trembling, understanding that his own future was at risk now.
His father could disown him, to save the family name. He would never be able to afford the tuition here. If word got around to the Dean of the university that he had been stalking a young girl barely 16, his academic life there would possibly end. The 'Dean' would scrutinize his every move and possibly find out about the other bribing activities done there. But for his secret of Usagi to get out and with any words that she had to say about him, he would be done.
Mamoru left him seething in rage not aware of the beyond pissed look he had on his face as he walked off, "This isn't over...Chiba!" He would taint her, hunt her down and force her into a compromising position. He would destroy their relationship and have his cruel way with her. That would be vengeance enough.
He had caught enough of a glimpse into their personal life to know that they enjoyed the more carnality of the passions shared between them. He had a vile smile on his face. If he caught her at an abrupt timing, he could conceal whom he was long enough to get her into a compromising position, get as far as he could before Mamoru spotted them.
If he could get Mamoru to believe in his lies then at least the relationship would be gone. His original plan would have worked. Then if she came at him to yell and scream about what he had done he'd give her, her own offer. Whether she'd take it or not would be up to her. He took off from campus, he had a bunny to find.
It had taken a good hour to find her. After going around her school, finding only the after school clubs milling about. He tried tracing her steps to which would be the quickest way back to her home, finding the house empty. He then headed towards her hangouts, finding his nemesis having a coffee at the front counter of the Crown Arcade. He stood staring through the glass front doors in distain.
Watching Mamoru's blonde friend listening intently on what had been happening to him lately. Being his sounding board and moral compass as always. Akito huffed and kept on walking, ignoring the warm sight of their good friendship. He never had anyone in life he could count on, always depending only on himself. He felt superior in that way, a lone wolf who never gave up on his hunts. Her last hangout was the Temple on Sendai Hill, so he jumped on the first bus heading in that direction.
He got there only to find the young blonde leaving the temple with her black cat over her shoulder. He gazed intently at her petite womanly form. A long bum covering length navy blue sweater, hiding most of her jean skirt. Gave her a sweet, girlish appeal that instantly had him yearning for her. With grey leggings adorning her legs, three inch heeled, knee high black boots adorning her feet. She made an exquisite piece of ass he needed to claim. This time he wasn't hold backing, this time she would his in all the ways he had dreamed.
He licked his lips trying to figure out the best way to trap her quickly and have his way. Seeing the way her sweater was shaped he could grab it from the neckline and yank down. If he did it hard enough and fast enough he could pull it down long enough to get a breast - if it wasn't covered by a bra - into his mouth. He was already getting antsy as he looked about for a place to abduct her. Then her friends trotted down the stairs and quickly caught up to her.
"Wait for me!" A small voice cried out, as she little pink haired child in a navy peacoat and matching hairstyle as Usagi rounded the stairs. Holding a metal ball that looked like a purple cats head with antenna bobbing on top. Chibi Usa had brought news to the temple of Pluto's change and they had tried to contact her with Luna P with no effect. Wherever Pluto was right now, she was beyond their reach.
"And you guys complain about me being slow." Usagi commented with a giggle.
The little girl stuck out her tongue as she trotted up beside her. Usagi ruffled her hair affectionately.
He ducked out of view into the glass bus enclosure, sitting on the bench giving Usagi's girlfriends his back as the group of girls headed his way, up the sidewalk. Making sure the girls didn't see him he crept up behind his target, currently lagging at the back walking lazily. Seeing an alleyway coming up he ran down a side street, as fast as his legs could carry him to get there before she could pass by it or see his form.
Her girlfriends were a block up the street entering a little cafe. The little girl skipping a few feet ahead up to a store window that had caught her eye. Pressing her face up against the glass to admire what lay within. While said blonde was aimlessly talking with Luna, catching up.
As the cat merely listened to her charge as she sat with a content smile on her furry face enjoying her alone time with Usagi. They had so little time together recently, with the crisis over Luna was finally starting to relax again.
Having missed the blonde's incessant talks over anything and everything even she let her defenses down enough to not spot the man creeping about until it was too late. At first Usagi thought it was Mamoru trying to be a bad boy and whisk her away so she didn't put up a real fight at first. As she felt his hand clasping her forearm. Not until the grip became wrong and even the shadows refused to hide her true captor from her. "Akito?!" she screeched, before being thrown into the alley.
Luna had been sent reeling to her paws, as for a few brief seconds she was still sitting mid-air alone without her charges shoulder for support. Usagi having literally been pulled right out from underneath her. She had to resist the urge to humanly scream at the captor for the abruptness of his efforts. She knew her charge could handle herself and would have loved nothing more than for her to kick the intruder's ass.
Even more so she would love to scratch said intruder in the eyes. She had had it with Akito and his odd obsession. "What in the hell are you doing?" Usagi never thought Akito would go to this extent. His hand reached out to forcibly cup her face. Even with her wrestling out of the shocking grip he felt her smooth skin, "Seriously what the he - " but he pinned her face with his hand to the brick wall behind her.
Chibi Usa stood in the mouth of the alley, having dashed back when she caught sight of Usagi being grabbed. Her tiny chest was heaving and her broach was gripped tight in her hand, Luna P was rolling at her feet twittering nervously. She was frozen, unable to move as the strange man pinned her mother to the alley wall. Her mind spinning as to what to do, he was human was she allowed to fight him in Guardian form? She was not match for him as she was now...a frightened little girl.
"You know I've been trying to figure you out since the day I met you." the only thing that kept Luna from attacking him was that he seemed to only be talking to her. Touching her face yes but mostly just talking. If he made a more decisive move it was on. The cat slunk low, taking to the shadows behind Akito. Teeth barred and hackles raised, she prepared for a fight.
Usagi didn't know what to say, "Mamoru thinks he's something great but in reality I'm the better man at EVERYTHING." Usagi didn't talk, hoping he would vent and leave. Her heart was a crescendo in her chest, as cold stress sweat began to bead down her back. Her fight or flight instincts kicking in, as she accessed his level of threat.
Then she caught sight of Chibi Usa standing uncertainly at the front of the alley. Her breath hitched in her throat, this was last thing she wanted her daughter to see. Then she saw that the little girl was gripping her broach, her amber eyes blazing with anger. She was going to transform, she was making up her mind. She looked so stricken, quelling the scared tears that wished to fall by blinking rapidly.
"In fact I bet you I can even make you see that to." His husky voice made her dart her eyes back to him. The way he looked at her was lust defined, "I doubt that. Mamo - chan's more of a man than you'll ever be. Your nothing compared to him and that's what nails you." she snapped out unable to just let his words about her beloved fly. He lost his temper. Instead of hitting her he did one better, he hit on her. Making a move before she could react he slammed his lips against her unwilling ones.
Feeling the softness he craved more. He never craved the touch of a woman the way he did with her. He was baffled. Had he developed feelings for her? Before he could think any more on the situation the cat that had been with her jumped on his back and attacked him with tooth and claw. Releasing a scream as the cats fangs impaled the tender flesh of his neck. He only moved himself away long enough to throw Luna in the opposing brick wall. "Hey jerk weed that's my cat!" Usagi slammed him with her fist in his face.
Chibi Usa backed down at the sight of her mother fighting back in human form. Drawing her hand away from her broach, she glowered at the uncouth man. Sizing him up with a new found confidence she might be able to take him on herself.
He barely backed away enough to not take Usagi's hit as a full strike. "Let me guess, Mamoru taught you that?" he chuckled, wiping the offending area. Quite alarmed at the power she held in that right cross. He had to find a way to disarm her. But how was he to do that when she obviously had some form of training from Mamoru? "No I already knew that." he quirked up a brow as she spoke, "Leave us both alone. For good." She screamed, as he smiled gamely, "You truly are an innocent if you think I will." she looked sadly at him.
He hated it. He reacted. Trying to get near her he ducked and dodged many of her blows, using the various objects in the alleyway to block her. She seemed determined to land another fist to his face. Then a small cry of rage erupted behind him. He spun as small pink haired projectile collided with his waist, bring him down to his knees.
"Leave her alone you big meanie!" Chibi Usa screamed, pummeling him in the back of the head with her tiny little fists. Her strikes were awkward, never having gotten into a full on fist fight before. But she was tenacious like a little pit bull, snarling and hitting him over every square inch of his head.
"Will you stop!" He roared, grabbing her by the neck and tossing her down the alley. The little girl bounced a couple times, until Usagi caught her. She glared at him, as she held her bruised little girl. Chibi Usa wasn't down, she struggled against her mother's hold. Snarling like an enraged animal. She would not be useless again, she would not just stand aside while her mother fought. She was a Guardian! Defending others was her duty!
"I just want to talk." he lied smoothly, laughing disarmingly towards her. She stopped. Gaining a bit of breath back as she willingly let him talk, standing up and guiding Chibi Usa behind her. He was far enough away she thought to avoid being grappled by him. He needed a distraction.
Pretending to see a spectator he called out, "Nothing to see here." She looked over his shoulder, only for her to get grappled and shoved bodily into the brick wall once more. He backhanded Chibi Usa when she lunged for him in an attack, knocking her back into a pile of over turned garbage bins. Luna snarled dashing down the alley to check on Chibi Usa.
Pressing his body against Usagi's own she warned him, "Let me go or I won't be held accountable for my next actions." he laughed in her face, "The only 'actions' that will be happening is me showing you what a real man is like." he grinned. She looked into his eyes with a foul temper, "Do me a favor, get a life and stop sticking your nose into mine!" she snapped, writhing against his bracing hands with a vengeance.
Luna nudged Chibi Usa in the cheek with her nose, the little girl was sprawled out unconscious over the bent and greasy bins. She merely moaned in protest slowly coming around.
He took one hand from pinning her to caressing her face, with his other hand then gripping her hair, "I'll stick my nose wherever I - " he was once again attacked by Luna, "What the hell stupid cat!" he went to the feline only to get pulled around and receive four steady fists to the face. Left, right, left, right, from a very enraged petite blonde. She moved swiftly like a boxer, each strike landing hit's mark with precision and power.
Akito's head was pounded back and forth like a punching bag, his was quickly seeing double as the little pinked haired girl was in the background, shadow boxing. Mimicking her older counterpart with a fighter's zeal.
Then he was the one pinned against the brick wall, "Stop hitting my cat!" Usagi barked. "I have a proposition for you." he remarked instead.
"Ditch Mamoru, let me have you and I'll make you a very wealthy woman when I become a doctor." Usagi smirked, "You really are living in your own fantasy world." she shoved him, before proceeding to ignore him, "Leave us alone." they were her final words before he made one last ditch effort for her. Grabbing her one last time he blocked the strike coming for him, swung her around and pressed her into the wall but not before kicking Luna away as she had been aiming to defend her charge once more.
Shoving his knee between her legs he sunk his head into her neck getting as far as licking her skin in a perverted way when she used a new move Makoto had taught her. Using the knee between her legs, she lifted her right leg up enough to plant her booted foot on top of it and hauled herself up higher. He looked up dazed as she swung her other leg around his neck and in a grappling move used the forward momentum to knock him off his own feet.
Not having seen that coming he tried to get free only to find her now holding his left arm in a near choke hold with her left leg settling over his throat. He briefly wondered who the hell taught her some martial arts skills like this for her to be that skilled in the art of self-defense. When he nearly passed out from lack of air she let go and got up. Luna was tempted to give his face a few good scratches but Usagi was fearful of Luna cutting his throat open. Her cat looked ruffled and bruised by always unbowed, snarling a few inches away from the man's face.
"Leave Mamo - chan and I alone now or else." she threatens. He responds, "Or else what? What will you do? Let's get this straight I don't go away, one way or another I always get what I want!" He promised, charging for her in a full on assault to take her to the ground. Usagi braced herself, as Chibi Usa came out of nowhere charged for him. It was like watching the human version of chicken. They ran for each other at full speed, then Chibi Usa stopped, cocked her fist and nailed him full on in the crotch.
Akito stopped in his tracks, all blood rushing out of his face as he turned green. With a pathetic moan, he clutched his privates and sank to the cement. Chibi Usa stood wringing out her hand and grimacing in pain as she stared down at her downed foe proudly.
Usagi and Luna merely stood dumb struck by her feisty last minute save. Akito was curled up in tight ball on the ground, grunting a hissing in excruciating pain. When Usagi crouched before him sadly she sighed and gave Luna a knowing look, as Chibi Usa dashed to the mouth of the alley to retrieve Luna-P.
The cat he saw responded back as if she understood her owner and went over to him on the ground. He struggled to get up. "What you gonna do? Have your cat attack me?!...Again?" he snipped at her.
She turned around, "I wish you could have left things alone." was Usagi's bitter response. "Why is that?" he asked, blinking nervously "Because I am left with no recourse." Luna spoke up. He nearly went into a dead faint at hearing her cat talk, "Do it." Usagi firmly ordered. It was better to erase his current issues of her and Mamoru from his mind than to try and keep dealing with him. He wasn't going away and she didn't need his newly developed following obsession to create more problems in the future, "This won't take long." Luna promised him.
He looked on near crazed at the sight, "Talking cat." was all he could mutter as he looked between Luna than Usagi before going back to Luna. Then Chibi Usa crouched in front him, placing Luna-P right against his face.
"I tried to warn you. You should have listened to me." Usagi muttered in sadness. Akito could have been a decent guy but his need for power over Mamoru, to be better than him and to take away what he believed made Mamoru great clouded his judgment.
The wide eyes of Luna-P began to strobe a piercing white, enthralling Akito. Leaving him staring dumbly at the ball, his eyes blank, barely breathing.
"You will forget about your obsession with Usagi – chan. You will forget about your hatred for Mamoru – san. You will conduct yourself politely in a daily manner with them both. You will not see Usagi – chan in any inappropriate manner again. She is a happily taken woman. And above all you will treat any woman you are with in the future with respect." he nodded his head dumbly as it ended and walked dazed out of the alleyway.
"Problem solved." She sighed, feeling somewhat guilty for twisting his mind.
He would be forever altered, both in memory and personality. Akito as he was, was now dead, a new version of him now walked in his skin. Perhaps a better, more honorable person but still he would not be his true self any longer. The memory interference could cause more harm than good but if he kept going he'd cause more harm than good. "I wish you could do that for papa." she sighed, to Chibi Usa.
"I've altered his memories enough. Besides you love your earth father, Akito is not a loved one but someone who attempted a deceitful act and tried to force himself on you. Those were extreme circumstances, I only wish you allowed me to do the same thing to Diamond." Chibi Usa remarked.
Usagi was surprised at first, but her expression softened.
"I forget how mature you can be, I never thought you understood what was happening between us." She smiled warmly, crouching down and folding Chibi Usa into her embrace. "Thank you for saving me." She whisper, placing a sweet kiss to the girl's temple. Chibi Usa merely sniffed, quickly backing away overcome with emotion and not wanting to lose her precious control. She pushed Usagi off lightly, rubbing a finger under her nose attempting to look tough.
"No problem, Momma." She murmured, as Usagi stood up laughing. "Nothing but trouble." she commented, taking Chibi Usa's hand. "Just like you." Chibi Usa shot back, as they walked up the sidewalk to join the girls in the cafe.
"With Diamond there was a chance of redemption. In the end he wanted to be free of the negativity and to be cleansed and purged of the effects the powers Wiseman gave him. Akito is naturally like this. No evil is warping him or twisting his desires, only he is." Luna agreed, following the two girls as they walked off leaving Akito to have a new perspective on things and to find his way without harming or being forceful on another woman.
