I do not own Sailor Moon

In case my fellow Sailor Moon haven't heard yet, the trailer for the new sailor moon has been released. I have already seen it like 10 times, and ever time I watch it, I find myself getting even more excited (If that was even possible). If you haven't seen it yet, seriously hop on youtube and check it out! You won't regret it.

Chapter 8

The camping trip had been going great. Usagi couldn't believe why she didn't think to do this weeks ago. The fresh air and freedom were really just taking care of her. The first couple of days she couldn't seem to get off her phone, but now it was off, and she couldn't be happier. Her aunt and uncle were a little too lovey dovey, and when she was alone it only caused her to miss Mamoru. She shook her head, and continued on her hike up the mountain. They were at the camp site getting dinner ready and Usagi had decided to explore the area. About 30 minutes into the hike she noticed that she came to what looked like a castle in ruins. The building was crumbled, and with the amount of growth from nature taking it back, Usagi could tell that this building was 100s of year old. It was beautiful, and the view that over looked the land of cascading hills was something out of a painting. It was then that Usagi had the idea to draw, and with her sketch book, ear phones and a comfy spot she sat. She was so lost in it all, she didn't realize that anyone had come up behind her.

"I'll be down in like 10 more minutes, I need to finish capturing this before the lights is completely gone." She all but shooed a way the hand that tapped her shoulder.

"Well I think your picture is better than the real thing." Her pencil dropped. That voice. The one that has haunted her dreams and fantasies. "When you said you could draw, I almost didn't believe you." Slowly her head turned around to find him standing kneeling beside her.

"It's you!" She fumbled backwards putting her back up against what was once left of a pillar. Her head brushing up against the cold stone pulled out a few pins causing her hair to partially fall down around her.

"I am starting to think that is how you are always going to greet me." His face was now inches from hers. She started to panic. Her brain was going in over drive and she wasn't too sure how she should act.

"What are you doing here?"

"My family owns this land, I have been coming to the ruins since I was a boy. This was once the place that held my family's home. A fire had spread from the kitchen, and took everything with it. It was a long time ago, but it's nice to come back to history. I come here when I need to clear my head, the view is so beautiful that it's hard to think of anything else. I am more curious to know how you came to be here."

"I am camping with my aunt and uncle down the hill a few miles. I wanted to go exploring and found this. I couldn't help but draw it. I wish I had my camera so I could go home and draw more of it." She closed her book, it didn't go unnoticed to Mamoru that her hand was shaking.

"Sere?" He placed his hand over hers.

"I'm fine. You always startle me, and my body is trying to catch up." He leaned in.

"Tell me the truth."

"Why did you leave me alone? You didn't call or text or email. You didn't do anything. You just left, but then Rei came home and said all these things about you, and the money is back." She put her hands to her head and started to cry. "I don't understand what is going on. Here I am trying to forget you, and you show up!"

"Usagi!" Her uncle came running over and shoved Mamoru out of the way. "I don't know what you want with her, but you are going to have to go through me!" Mamoru laid on the ground in shock.

"It's okay, he wasn't hurting me. That is Mamoru." It took a few seconds for it to register, but Mamoru was quickly helped to his feet. "I'm sorry. I saw her crying and I reacted." Mamoru smiled.

"No it's okay. I would never do anything to hurt her." Usagi looked up at him, then stood herself.

"I should be going. It was nice to see you again." He reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Please come over to my house tonight for dinner. My sister has been begging me to bring you, and I just can't take no for an answer."

"Hakura, I remember Mr. Tsukino had said that his brother-in-law was a fan of sports cars. I just got a new car for my collection, and I would love to show her off." And with that it was final. They were going to pack up camp for the night and take up Mamoru on his invitation for dinner and a room. Usagi was secretly grateful. She was close to the point on breaking into someone's home for a hot shower.

They followed Mamoru back on his back. His house was a good 5 miles from their camp site, and appeared to be the only house for miles upon miles. When they reached his house Usagi couldn't help but laugh. Not just a laugh, but the laugh that comes from the pit of one's stomach in an uncontrollable notion that couldn't be stopped. Her aunt and uncle looked at each other. His house was large, so large in fact that normal people wouldn't call it a house, but a mansion. It wasn't anything as large as his godmother's which almost fit the title of palace, but it wasn't what Usagi had pictured him to live in. The large gates opened and let them in. They pulled around the circled driveway and parked in front of the large marble staircase leading to the main doors. Members of his staff was ready to let them out of the cars. Usagi stumbled out.

"Mamoru!" A small child ran down the stairs and drove straight for him falling into his arms. Usagi froze. This little mini me clung around his neck. "You said you were going for a quick drive, you've been gone for hours!" Mamoru chuckled.

"I have been gone for an hour. Besides I brought you a guest. I expect you to make sure she falls in love with you instantly." The small child gave him what Usagi would call a "really" look, but it changed into excitement when he whispered something in her ear. The child wiggled out of his grasp and ran over to Usagi.

"Serenity!" She was soon knocked down from the unexpected hug the child was now placing around her legs. She laughed.

"It's nice to meet you to."

"My name is Hotaru, and we are going to be best friends!"

"This little ball of energy is my sister." Usagi's eyes widen.

"I remember Dimande telling me that you took care of her."
"Dimande and Motoki are inside waiting."

"Well let's go in and give them a surprise!" Mamoru stood back and watched as the two most important women in his life ran up the stairs with Usagi's aunt.

"Sir, why not we let the girls get to know each other, and I'll take you to my car collection. My father had started it when my mother died, it's not large, but it's our prize collection."

"Usagi!" Everyone circled her in a group hug, and for the first time in weeks, Usagi found herself smiling with joy, and not just covering her true feelings. This was her first time seeing the two newly weds since they came back from their honeymoon. When Mamoru and Hakura came back in they were welcomed by a sweet melody coming from the drawing room. When they entered the room, everyone was sitting around Usagi crying as she played the violin. Mamoru couldn't recall a time that he had ever been so captivated before.

"Mamoru, who is playing? It's amazing?" Mamoru glanced behind him to see Kunzite and his sister Beryl coming in.

"It's Usagi." Kunzite stiffened. "I didn't know she was going to be here."

"I ran into her at the ruins. I invited her to stay for dinner. They are spending the night. I already had Artemis put them in the guest rooms. Beryl peered between Mamoru and the man next to him and fumed. She had never seen Mamoru invite people to stay except for her and her brother. Beryl and Kunzite looked nothing a like. Beryl loved all things fashion and gossip.

"She looks very familiar, where have I seen her before." Beryl said out loud, but on purpose.

"She was the maid of honor at Dimande's wedding." Beryl straightened up excited.

"Yes! I remember her now. You said that she was that attention seeking wanna-be bride!" With that the music stopped. Usagi looked at the door way and all but dropped the violin. She could tell by the looks on Mamoru's face that she was telling the truth. Hotaru looked up between all of the ideas.

"I thought Serenity looked like a goddess." Usagi smiled down at the little girl and handed her back the instrument.

"She sure does play like one." Mamoru wasn't even aware he had said it until he heard Beryl growl behind him.

"It's not like the violin is that hard too play." Beryl went to step into the room, but Hakura let his foot move a little to the right and tripped her. As she started to fall to the group Mamoru reacted and quickly grabbed her pulling her into his arms. Beryl blushed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. As quick thinking as ever she let out a cry and slumped a little. "Owe, my ankle." Mamoru picked her up and carried her to the day bed. Usagi watched as he tenderly check over her ankle.

"Beryl, I've told you not to wear these stupid shoes. Their bad for your feet." She giggled. "You're going to be fine. It's not broken. Just take it easy and buy some flats."

"Only if you pick them out." He smiled at her.

"Just sit for a little bit with your foot up, and you'll be on the runway again in no time." She reached forward and gave him a chaste kiss on his lips before she sighed into a hug.

"Thanks for taking such good care of me."

As Usagi stood there watching, she felt her heart was beating so loudly the whole room could hear it. No wonder he didn't contact her. He was already moving onto someone else. She had never seem him care for someone like that before. The last time she had ever seen that look in his eyes was when he scared her into the fountain and he was drying her off. Usagi felt sick. Quickly she ran from the room to outside finding someplace to throw up in private. Unknowing to everyone but Hotaru was the look of victory in Beryl's eyes. That was until Mamoru ran after her. He quickly found her throwing up behind a tree.

"Sere, are you alright?" She didn't answer him. "Serenity." He started to move closer. "Usagi, god damn it will you answer me!" She turned to face him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm a little busy Mamoru, please I just need some space." His expression softened.

"I can't do that. You do recall I am a doctor, let me help you upstairs to your room." She hesitated for a second and agreed. The rest of the group had gone into dinner by the time the two had made it back inside. Feeling a little woozy Mamoru ended up carrying Usagi the rest of the way. Instead of taking her to her guest room, Mamoru brought her down a long hall way through two double doors. It was his room. Her eyes grew wide as she looked around. The color of the room was clearly dark. The four post bed had black curtains hanging. The bedding was black. She thought it was his favorite color, but now it seemed more like an obsession.

"I thought you were taking me to my room. This is yours." He smiled down.

"I thought a bath would help you feel better, and your room only has a shower." He laid her on the bed. "Here change into this, and I will get it started for you." He handed her his robe, and walked into the other room. She changed as quickly as she could, and even had enough time to fold her clothes before he came back. She followed him into the large bathroom. The large tub had steam coming from it, and rose petals floating. He came up behind her, and undid her robe. She didn't even know she was naked until he put his hand in the small of her back. He picked her up bridal style and slowly sank her in. "You don't need to be shy. It wasn't that long ago you were naked in my arms." She turned away from him, concentrating on the black and white pattern on the wall. His lips formed a line as he watched her scramble for the tub and barely make it to the toilet. Coming over he held her hair back and gently rubbed his hand up and down her back. "How long has this been going on." She sat back and wrapped the discarded robe on top of her.

"For about a month. I thought I was doing better, but with all the stress. At least I can eat better. Two weeks ago I could barely keep anything done." Mamoru thought for a second, then helped her back into the bath.

"Stress can do the body more harm than a heart attack."

"I've learned to deal with it." He took the wash cloth and began to run it along her limbs. Usagi didn't notice he stopped at her stomach until he quickly pulled away.

"When was your last period?" She made a face, trying to recall.

"Like 3 months ago. Like I said with everything going on I haven't been feeling well. It's not uncommon for me to miss a couple months when I get caught up in a project. And that was a project." He wanted to chuckle. He wanted to believe her.

"Are you sure it's not something else." She laughed.

"Like what Mamoru, it's not like I could be pregnant." And there it was. The look of realization had appeared on her face. Quickly she was on the opposite side of the tub, away from him. "You have got to be joking. There isn't anyway. I mean." She wasn't really sure what to say. Her mouth kept wanting to speak, but her brain had gone blank. He helped her out of the tub, and brought her back to the bed.

"Now just wait. We can easily solve this." He opened the closet and pulled out a very large black bag. After a minute of rummaging through it, he was able to pull out a book with pregnancy test written on it. "I keep a couple in my bag from when I do my clinic hours. The hospital runs out, and I always like to have a couple handy.

It didn't take long for the results to come back, and it left them sitting on the bed staring at it. Two very pink lines. Mamoru took the test from her hands and set it on the dresser. Before she knew what was coming she was picked up in the air and swung around. He was laughing, giddy even.

"Stop. Stop. Stop." He held her there smiling down at her.

"Sorry. I guess I got carried away." He set her back on the bed, beaming.

"Mamoru, this is crazy. We need to talk about this." That line had certainly pulled him out of his mood.

"What is crazy about this? What more do we need to talk about?"

"You're girlfriend is most likely not going to enjoy finding out that you have some random woman that you haven't talked to in 3 months pregnant. She looked like she wanted to kill me for just being in your house.

"Beryl? Beryl is Kunzite's sister, which makes her more like my sister too."

"Please that kiss on the lips did not scream 'Beryl is just my sister'." Mamoru looked confused for a minute.

"Don't read too much into that. She kisses everyone on the lips like that. She says it's comes with the territory of being a model." She looked at him, moving closer to look into his eyes. He wasn't lying. He always blinked a little quicker when he was lying.
"Well regardless, it still doesn't explain why you didn't talk to me. Now everything is apparently all fixed and here you are. Why? Why did you go through all the trouble of finding Seiya and my sister and paying them off if you weren't going to ever call me."

"I tried, but I just couldn't bring myself. I kept thinking about our last night together, and I knew that I had to fix everything. It was all my fault. I needed you to see that I was worthy of your forgiveness." Usagi relaxed a little then reached forward and kissed him. Quickly she stopped and pulled away. Panic written all over her face.

"Oh my god Mamoru. Seiya and your sister. She's so young. How could he?" Mamoru looked confused for a second.

"No. I'm sorry. I do have two sisters. Setsuna in my older sister. She is aged between myself and Dimande. She was the one he rapped. After it all fell apart, she decided to start over and moved to England. She is doing very well over there actually, and is about to get married. Seriously Sere, if he touched Hotaru, I would have killed him. Then brought him back to life just so I could kill him all over again." Usagi flopped back in the bed.

"Thank you for explaining everything to me. He had told me that you were the one that tried to ruin him. I guess I didn't know you very well except for your attitude towards me, and it was easy to believe. Seiya though didn't wait very long to start to show his true colors. He turned out to be more of an asshole than you." Mamoru chuckled.

"I am hoping there is a compliment some where in there." She smiled and kissed his cheek when he moved next to her. "You have no idea how much I missed you. When I saw you at the ruins, I had to touch you to make sure you were real." He undid the tie to her robe and let his hand rest on her stomach. "Serenity I have loved you since the first moment I saw you walk down the isle."

The rest of the group had begun to worry about their missing host, when Kunzite had returned from the upstairs.

"I don't think we'll be seeing those two for the rest of the evening." Beryl shot up.

"What do you mean? Let me go get him." Kunzite chuckled and grabbed her when she tried to walk up the stairs. "You can do that if you want to, but I know you don't really want to."

"They've finally made up!" Dimande announced with joy.

"Looks like we'll have to bring our tuxes out again soon. I see a wedding not to far off." Motoki said as he picked up a sleeping Hotaru and began to carry her up stairs. Beryl had at least waited for her to leave the room before she started to scream.

"Seriously Beryl calm down. You didn't stand a chance anyway." She glared at her brother before heading up the stairs herself. She wasn't done yet. She just had to get someone out of the way first.
