Chapter 7: The Thing with Addison and Sterling
They were laughing and smiling.
Everything seemed happy, Sterling was standing there acting out a fight for Usagi.
It ended when a hand suddenly ripped Sterling's heart from her chest.
…..
Usagi jolted up from her seat sweating.
"Are you okay?" Callum asked looking considered.
Usagi nodded taking a deep breath.
Usagi and company were on a plane currently heading to Japan. It had only taken 3 days to get everything sorted out so they could head on over. The moon princess check her watch they were half way through their 14 hour flight, which on top of their 4 hour drive to the airport had left all 9 of them very tired.
This could be seen by Tristian and Yu being passed out up front. Hadi and Eli were behind them, Eli listening to music while Hadi was reading a book on law for his class next week, his was aiming to be a lawyer.
Not seeing Jasper, Sterling, or Addison Usagi looked around curious she found Jasper in the road across from her. He reading a magazine, feeling the princess' gaze he asked, "Something wrong?"
"She had a wee nightmare," the Irish man said earning a look from Usagi.
"No," Usagi protested, "I was wondering where Addison and Sterling went."
Jasper pointed the front still not looking up.
The heroine followed the finger to see Sterling flirting with the flight attendant, Steven she thinks, while Addison stood to the side looking pissed, as he waited longer on his coke.
"Huh? What's up with Addy?" Usagi asked confused to Callum and Jasper.
"Oh, the classic problem we have with the two," Callum explained as he sipped his water, "so Addison and Sterling, they were a thing in the past."
"A….Thing?" Usagi probed unsure.
"They were a thing back in the Silver Millennium," Jasper added still not looking up from his magazine, "they were the prefect couple some would say. Princess Tala and Prince Aeolian, along with you and Endymion it looked like the peace of the Moon and Earth would be sealed in a double marriage between the Moon Princesses and Earth Princes."
"Right, Aeolian was Endymion's brother," Usagi nodded being reminded that Addison was technically Mamoru's brother.
"Yep. So when Addison remembered the whole dating Sterling think he wanted to immediately start dating her you know?" Callum picked up explaining, "It makes sense since you remember your past love and you want to be with them. You remember being happy with them. Like how you feel about Mamoru or I feel about Mercury."
A knot form in Usagi's throat at that but nodded anyway, "So, then what happened?"
"Sterling didn't want to date. Still doesn't," Jasper explained simply, "From what I heard she isn't look for love again. She remembers, same as him, but it doesn't mean the same to her. He needs to accept that."
"Harsh, cut the lad some slack," Callum commented.
"It's the truth, and every time they sleep together or do something coupley it ends up hurt Addison more than anything," Jasper complained, "Remember new year's day?"
"Wait! That's why we were stuck at the General's?! Sterling and Addison were fucking?" Usagi realized angrily.
Callum and Jasper stared at Usagi for a moment before Callum spoke, "You know that word sounds so wrong coming out of your mouth."
"True, never say bad words about Usagi, they ruin your sweet image."
Usagi huffed as it was around this time Sterling game back happy carrying a cup of vodka. Addison followed grumpily.
"So what happened while we were gone?" Sterling asked.
"Nothing!"
…..
In a dark room in Japan, a young woman was smiling at her girlfriend of the night, as the girlfriend sat up pulling her shirt on, "Leaving so soon, babe?"
"sorry, Satomi."
"Hitomi."
"Sorry, Hitomi. My boss texted me and I have a bunch to do before my sisters get in."
"Oh, sisters? Hot as you?"
"Its been a while but I bet they're still hot. But too bad their good goodies."
"It's a shame."
The young woman sat on the bed kissing the Hiromi, "sorry, Hitomi. I have to ask, have you embraced the darkness inside?"
Hitomi smiled into her kiss, "Hell yes."
Suddenly darkness engulfed a screaming Hiromi from her producing a flaming two tailed cat in her place with sharp fangs.
The woman sighed, "Every freakin time. Well at least I got a monster out of it."
The monster looked confused at the woman, "Oh, right. You're the monster, Two tails, I'm your master. Aeron. Boy do we have lots to do."
