Chapter 9: A Peaceful Talk
Mamoru sighed after a short conversation on the phone. He was wondering if he could talk to Usagi peacefully afterwards.
The doorbell rung, and then Usagi had arrived.
"Usako, you've came, please come in."
"How's your wound?"
"It's starting to get better. Still a bit pain, and I must go to the hospital and give a checkup."
"You said you have something unexpected."
"Yes, Usako. I really want to tell you. I apologize that last week I was in not my mental state, I threw a knife…."
"We can talk about this later. Mamo chan. About the discovery, please explain to me in details."
"Alright, Usako. Can you get to the kitchen and pour a hot tea please."
Usagi got to the fridge and poured two cups of hot tea. They were both sitting side by side.
"Yesterday night, Usako. I met King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity."
"And?"
"I was in the crystal palace. And at that time, Endymion told me about everything."
"He told you, something?"
"Actually he showed me a video of you and your friends meeting with a group of men called Ultras."
"Yes. We did meet the Ultras. And it was a grand meet and greet."
"Meet and greet. And Endymion told me that he met one of his King."
"A long time ago, to be precise. And he was waiting for the Sailor Senshi and the Ultras meet."
"And Endymion said that the King, is called Ultraman King. He saved Endymion's family."
"He also explained to us, I have no idea that King would had helped them." Usagi added.
"Endymion also told me you shook hands with the figure."
"What figure?"
"The three horned figure. You shook hands with his son."
"Yes, his name was Ultraman Taro and his Taiga. And Chibiusa is the one who shook hands with Taiga."
"Usako, I'm sorry that I accused that he was a demon, I know I should have listened to you earlier." Mamoru said with sadness in his eyes.
"Mamo chan. I understand to your perspective, that Taro san's face and his head looks like a demon."
"It's hard to believe he was with you at that time."
"It's doesn't matter. But I don't understand Mamo-chan, why are you so desperate that you need to kill Taro san?" Usagi asked sipping some tea.
"Usako. A few days ago, I was haunted by a demon, he claimed himself as the lovers of Nehelenia, Galaxia and Beryl."
"Lovers? You got to be kidding me."
"And he also tortured you in front of me. I cried a few times because of this."
"Don't cry, Mamo-chan. I'm alright."
"Usako. I did this to protect you. A few days ago, about the assault on Taro; I fought with him and stabbed him when you were unconscious."
"You fought with him, but did you kill him?"
"I actually stabbed him in the abdomen, he was badly injured."
"Please don't tell me that you killed him."
"I know, Usako! I was not in my mental state, but really, The demon inside the dream, it was Taro! He did this in front of you!"
"So you attacked Taro san is because he hurt me in the dream?" Usagi wondered.
"I cannot even tell the difference between the one that I met. His face, his body is the same as the one that Neo Queen Serenity gave when i was in the dream."
"So the demon is probably the mastermind that happened throughout this week."
"After showing the one I attacked is your ally, He also told me one thing, I wonder if you knew. That there is a Youma who could disguise as different people inside people's dreams. It could basically transform to different objects, it also analyzes what the people are scared of."
"Youma?"
"He told you and your friends need to be alert."
"Speaking of which, Mamo-chan. Last week, I remember Endymion gave me and my friends a word to track down on it. But we checked and there were not any traces."
"And seems that the youma is back again. I was his first victim."
"I wonder if I could help you, Mamo-chan."
"You could help, Usako."
"Can you also bring Taro san with me?"
"No problem. But you need to show proof that why is you with him in the first time."
After finishing the sentence. Mamoru said as he about to collapse to the ground.
"Mamo chan!"
"Usako. I'm a bit….dizzy.."
"Mamo-chan, are you alright?"
"I haven't ate anything since last week."
"But you have an appointment afterwards! I can't see you faint like this!"
"I'm still conscious, Usako. But please take me to the hospital. Remember to lock the door!"
"What about the tea?"
"Just throw it on the sink and wash it!"
In the Land of Light, at the resting room, Taro feels his abdomen and he didn't feel any pain. He got off his bed, as he kicked a few times and tried to do a spin house kick.
"I could finally move now. My abdomen is healed. But I wonder when mother and father would return?"
After a while, Ken and Marie got back from the visit to Endymion and Serenity.
"Dad, Mom? You back?"
"We're back, son."
"About the visit to them."
"We had his word. It was the Youma, he was behind of this."
"So, son. You must go to earth, and meet Usagi, and better tell Mamoru about this."
"Meeting Mamoru?"
"Don't you want to tell Mamoru was his ally?"
"I know, but I'm really scared that he would kill me the second time."
"Don't worry. He was alright." Marie soothed her son.
"They told us they had gave their words to Mamoru, he presented the meet and greet of you and Usagi meeting." Ken said.
"Maybe I'll meet Luna first and tell her what happened."
"It doesn't matter, Taro."
"Are your wounds healed?"
"Yes."
"Wish you good luck!" Marie said.
Taro then flew to the Earth and was about to tell the incident.
Luna was at earth, she knows that Usagi haven't been back for a few days. She is starting to get worried without her. She missed her laughs and giggles. She was in deep thought as someone knocked. But it was from the window.
"Eh? Taro san?"
"Luna, where is Usagi?"
"She left with Mamoru, and I haven't heard a word from her."
"Can you let me in?"
Luna opened the window and let the red Ultra in, he crawled inside the house.
"Taro san, what happened?"
"I just got back from the Land of Light, I received treatment from the medic."
"Oh no, did something happen to you?"
"Mamoru attacked me. But don't worry, Luna. My parents got it covered." Taro said as he put a hand to Luna.
"Your parents helped already?"
"They said they had already spoke to Endymion and Serenity about my history."
"So it's about how you meet Usagi, I assume?"
"Yes. It's a long time ago. We met because of a meeting."
"Really?"
"King invited us to go their palace and have a meeting. I just have to wait for Usagi's call."
At the hospital, Mamoru and Usagi are in the hospital's room, and the doctor is observing his sickness.
"Mamoru, have you been eating not properly these days?" The doctor asked.
"Doctor, I did eat properly."
"But you wouldn't have gone to me first and give a treatment to your situation right now."
"Mamo-chan. Please tell the truth."
"I only ate a few pieces of bread for dinner; and the days, I don't have the energy to eat."
"Why , Mamoru? The lady could help you."
"I have nightmares these days, it was torturing me. And she was busy these days."
"Feel sorry to hear from that."
"Doctor, would Mamo-chan able to get out from hospital?"
"Probably 3-4 days. And also because your arm was still injured, we need to make a treatment on whether you can still move your arm. And you need to eat something to regain your energy."
"So, I would be back home later on?"
"Yes, you would. Just eat properly. We would also provide some hospital food for you."
"Can I tell my friends to bring food for me to eat?"
"You could."
"Thanks doctor."
"Look after him. I still have other patients to look after, Take care!"
After the doctor left, Mamoru and Usagi continued their conversation.
"So, Usako. About the nightmare, when would the Youma come?" Mamoru said as he rested his left arm to the blanket.
"It's hard to tell, Mamo-chan. Maybe I'll find Taro san and confirm."
"Tell Motoki and the others to prepare some food for me in the later days. Especially Motoki, he needs to help me cleaning up the apartment, ever since I got injured, I cannot even sweep the floor."
"It's alright, Mamo-chan. I can tell him."
"Thanks, Usako. And I'm sorry for what I have done in these days. I hurt your feelings."
"It's ok. Don't say such things."
Usagi waved goodbye to Mamoru as she packed her stuff and left. Mamoru sighed as he used his right arm and stared at the small bruises on his arm. "I hope this Youma could get what it deserved. He was the one that make me almost killed the ally who was with Usako!" Because of the help of Usagi, Endymion and Serenity, he finally could trust the red alien wasn't an enemy to him.
