Chapter 11

Dream Dweller
Revised Edition

Usagi moved her head back feeling her lips leave his. Demando looked at her in dazed confusement, like a child surprised that they had gotten what they wanted.
"That was no accident princess…" His tone was deep, saying it as if making a statement, a proven fact. "Just what are you trying to do?" Usagi was at a loss for words, what was she trying to do? Her body felt the heat from his and yet it was shaking. Usagi felt her limbs go heavy as she reached her hands up and grabbed onto his shirt.
"I'll stay." She said without really knowing what she was doing.
"You'll stay?" He questioned. Usagi nodded slowly, trying her best to ignore the giant lump in her throat that was making it very difficult to breathe. "Oh? I am very curious…. " Demando leaned in closer to her face, lifting her chin so their eyes locked. "…as to what has brought this on all of a sudden?"
"There's…" Usagi paused for a slight moment. "Nothing out there for anymore." He looked into her eyes as if studying their honesty, the eyes he knew so well.
"Hmpf." He smiled. Usagi didn't dare sigh in relief as he let go of her and stood up. Her eyes traveled over to her locket on the floor, or at least where it should have been. A stab of panic ran throughout her, it was gone. "I will take this with me." Said a male voice from over her. Usagi didn't look; she didn't have too to know what he was holding in his hand. "You wont be needing it anymore anyway." For a split second she thought about charging him to get it but something pulled her back.
"No," something inside her said. "It's okay to let it go… let it go… the most important thing right now is that you are left alone…" She would get her crystal back eventually, but for now the most important thing was getting rid of Demando, and making him believe she was set on staying.
"You will join me for breakfast tomorrow. Goodnight, princess…" Demando closed and locked the door behind him.
Usagi fell from under her bodies own weight, sighing. However, something still bugged her. The Demando she knew wouldn't give up that easily.
"You are correct." A cool male voice spoke from the corner of the room. Usagi spun around looking over her shoulder.
"You…" She gaped at him. "How, you're…."
"Alive." Safiel spoke walking out from the shadows. "Alive as I can be. You see Serenity, while you may have destroyed Esmerodo and Rubeus with that attack, I will not be defeated as easily." Newly aware that she wasn't covered completely, Usagi grabbed as much of her hanging dress as she could and pulled it to her chest. "Save it." He said. "I could care less about what Neo Queen Serenity looks like underneath her clothing."
"You're sick." Usagi felt it was best to stand. She didn't feel the safest sitting on the floor like some wounded prey just waiting to be attacked by a predator. "You were standing there the whole time."
"We of the Black Moon do not need to walk through doors to get into a simple locked room." He stopped some arms length away from her. "While I do not take any kind of pleasure by watching my older brother in such activities I was asked to stand by incase his body were to give out."
"Give out?" She asked.
"Right now my brother is probably off repairing the damage to his body caused by those flashes of white light. That is why he gave up so easily. However…" Safiel smiled slightly. "I must admit that your little distracting act was quite a successful additive."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"While my brother is blinded by love, I am not. Do not take me as a fool." He sneered. "Interesting though, I do highly look forward to what you plan to do next." When Usagi replied by looking at him in confusement Safiel continued on. "You said it yourself."
"What are you-"
"You still don't understand? Even if you were to escape back to your planet, who would be waiting for your return?"
Something hard and powerful hit Usagi in the stomach like a ton of bricks. She had saved herself for now. But when she finally does escape, what will she be escaping to? "Will you heal the world and find another man? Will you live normally among those humans, and leave Crystal Tokyo as nothing but a passing dream?"
"N-no."
"Make your move. I am dieing to see the show." Safiel smirked.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Usagi! What the hell did you think you were doing?" Rei screamed in her face.
"Huh?" Usagi opened her eyes, blinking in total confusement.
"Oh, she's awake now! Great job Rei." Minako said.
"Rei-chan…. Minako-chan?" She asked.
"Yeah really… what a way to wake her up." Makoto said somewhere by her side.
"Are you okay Usagi-chan?" Ami leaned over her face.
"What are you guys… doing here?"
"Huh?" They all said in unison. As the room became clearer Usagi saw a bunch of different people in the background as well as Minako, Ami, Rei and Makoto exchange worried glances.
"Maybe she hit her head really hard falling down?" The voice was Haruka's. Apparently they were in the arcade. She was lying down on one of the seats next to a table with a large white and pink iced cake on top of it. Rei, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, Hotaru and Chibi-Usa were all standing over her with worried looks on their faces.
"Serves her right for being such a ditz." Rei said annoyed.
"Don't say that! She could have really hurt herself." Michiru looked over at Rei.
"Usagi, do you know where you are?" It was Ami's voice again.
"Why… why aren't you guys dead?" Usagi slowly tried pushing herself up but a someone's hand pushed her back against the seat.
"You need to stay where you are."
"Think we should take her to the emergency room?"
"No! I don't need an emergency room!" She grabbed the hand on her shoulder, which turned out to be Haruka's. "Why am I here? Why are you guys alive?"
"Uhh…because… we were born?" Minako shrugged at Rei's puzzled look. "Usagi!" The sudden rush of tears falling down their friends' cheek took Minako aback. "Seriously… what is wrong with you?"
"Is everything okay? I brought a bag of ice from Motoki." A whole new voice joined the worried mummers of her friends. Usagi leaned to the left to look past Haruka. Mamoru was standing there, solid as the rest of them, wrapping a towel around a bag filled with ice.
"Ma…mo… ru…." Everyone was still and silent, not taking their eyes of Usagi for a second. "Mamoru!" She raced past Haruka and rammed hard into his chest, causing him to drop the bag of ice and spill it all over the floor. "Why?" She buried her head deep into his chest soaking up the warmth as much as possible. "Why didn't you let me save you? I could have saved you…" He looked up at the others for an explanation.
"She must have had a nightmare while she was unconscious, because when she woke up she asked why we weren't dead." Setsuna explained.
"It wasn't a nightmare! It really happened! Demando killed everyone!" This was nuts, she had to get though to them, they had to understand.
"Demando? Usagi you don't understand…" Setsuna tried to calm her down.
"No! You don't understand!" She looked around at everyone. "I'm dreaming aren't I?" She sadly looked back up at Mamoru. "You're a dream, right?"
"When you arrived here with Mamoru, it started raining hard again. You slipped at the entryway and landed head first on the floor, knocking yourself out." Hotaru said.
"I did?" Usagi reached her arm behind her and touched the back of her head. There in the middle, was a giant lump that stung as she pressed her fingertips to it. Pain. "Then, this is real?"
"Of course it is." Rei said irritated. "It always has been."
"Oh. I remember now." Usagi nodded, even though she didn't remember a thing.
"Jeez Usagi don't scare us like that. Especially on your birthday."
"My birthday? Oh right, my birthday!" She smiled. Her birthday…. what had happened on her birthday….
"VENUS! MERUCRY! JUPITER!"
Usagi's mind shook. Everything around her was spinning. "It's not my birthday." She said. "My birthday was days ago...wasn't it?"
"Usagi what are you talking about?" Mamoru brushed his fingertips through her hair. "Today is your birthday."
"It is? Is this really… real?"
"I think maybe we should hit her over the head again." Rei said. "Maybe that will snap her back to reality."
"Honestly…" Makoto sighed. When Usagi still looked at them in confusement Michiru walked over to her.
"You had a nightmare is all." She smiled at her. "Everything is fine now. You're back with us."
"You're right…" Usagi said. "I am back with you…" A single tear ran down her cheek. She clung to Michiru's chest like a small child returning to their parent's arms after getting themselves lost. "It doesn't matter if this is a dream, or even if I'm dead. As long as I can be with all of you again…"
"You shouldn't say things like that..."
"Come on Usagi! Blow out your candles before they melt all over the cake!" Minako gestured over to the table where the candles on the cake glowed. "You too Chibi-Usa!"
"Right!" Both girls ran over happily sitting down at the table.
"Ready?" Makoto asked.
"Yep!"
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you… happy birthday to Usagi and Chibi-Usa! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone in the room sang. When they were done the two girls leaned over the table and blew out the candles to everyone's applause.
"Another year huh?" Michiru said cheerfully. "Congratulations."
"You know odango…" Haruka said slyly. "You're legal age to marry now." The woman nudged Mamoru in the side, causing both him and Usagi to blush.
"Hey that's right." Minako said. "Do I hear wedding bells in the near future? Huh huh?" Minako followed Haruka's example and nudged Usagi in the side.
"S-stop it you guys. You're embarrassing Mamo-chan!"
"Hey Chibi-Usa?" Ami teased. "Did your parents ever say when they got married?"
"Geez, enough already!" Usagi could feel the heat leaving her face. "It'll happen when it when it happen- eh? Mamoru what are you doing?" She spotted him digging for something in is pocket then he took her hand and kneeled. "Wh-what…"
"No wayyy!" Rei and Minako grabbed on to each other's arms as the room looked on in awe.
"Usa-Ko…" Mamoru said looking up at his love. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. We've been though so much together, and I want to go though so much more, with you by my side. Someday…" He raised a small box in his left hand. "I will make you the happiest bride in the world. Until then, promise me we'll always be together…." Mamoru took the promise ring out of the box.
"I will!" Usagi cried. "I promise!" He slipped the ring on her finger.
"Happy birthday, Usako…"
"Mamo-chan…" The two kissed as their friends whistled and cheered around them. Usagi melted in their kiss wanting never to break it. Somewhere a palace waited for both of them to live in it, Crystal Tokyo… she would take his hand and become queen and he would be her king. Together they would live in peace and continue to protect this planet, Earth…
"You! You are the Princess Serenity!"
Usagi broke the kiss and looked up. "Serenity…"
"Now Serenity, come with me or I will kill your and Endymion's only child right before your eyes…Oops, I meant to let my family members kill them off…" "URANUSS…I love you… I love you, I love you! Let me save you! I know I can save you…" "Sailor Moon, do you believe in hope…Usagi, you are our hope. That's why, everyone could let go so easily. They knew, you'd be fine…You'll make, a good mother someday…" "NOOO!"
"Why…why… WHY?" Usagi sobbed into her hands. "Why can't I stay here? I want to stay here?"
"You can't stay here…"
"But I'm not strong enough! I can't do it anymore!"
"You can… you are their hope… you are everyone's hope… Serenity…"
"No…"
"Wake up… wake up, Serenity…I will guide you…"
Everything around Usagi began to vanish, swirling into a mixture of brilliant colors. Slowly she opened her eyes, blinking and taking in the light. Something soft was underneath her, and is took her a moment to realize she was back on the bed. The last thing she remembered was Safiel standing over her falling body… "Heh!" She shot up in panic looking from right to left when she felt a jab of pain in her head and couldn't move it anymore. Keeping her head still she noticed she was decently dressed again. Then Usagi moved her eyes down to look at her right hand which gripped the blanketing, it was ringless.
A warm and gentle hand touched her shoulder. "You shouldn't move around like that." The voice belonged to a female, calm and soothing, like a mothers voice would be to their child's. Cautiously moving her head up to look, she saw a young woman not that much older than herself if she had to guess, sitting on the side of the bed.
"Who are you?" Usagi moved her shoulder away from the girl. She was all sorts of beautiful, with long black shimmering hair and a small braid by the right of her face. The braid continued to wrap around the top of her head and her eyes were ice blue but reflected nothing but kindness. The woman was wearing a coffee cream dress, and there, hanging from a gold stud in her left ear was a black feather.
"Please, there is no need to fear me." She said gently noticing Usagi's sudden jerk away from her. Something about the woman's voice was familiar. "My name is Tanako. Yumeno Tanako."
"Yumeno Tanako…"
"I believe it translates to, 'dweller of dream.'"
"Dream dweller?"
"I have the power to see into and manipulate other people's dreams. Forgive me, but I peered into yours while you were sleeping. When I saw you passed out on the floor in that condition I carried you to your bed and dressed you, and you just looked so innocent I couldn't believe someone like you would be part of what's going on here. So…I went into your dream to learn your story. I never would have imagined… you were Princess Serenity of the Silver Millennium… and that you would be in a place like this. But now I know why… I'm sorry if I caused you to relive that..." Yumeno said.
"You know who I am?" Usagi asked.
"Of course I know who you are. Every Senshi in the galaxy and those connected to them knows who you are…"
"You're a Sailor Senshi?" Usagi grabbed onto the girls pale skinned arm.
"I do have my own holy powers, but I do not posses the power of the planets and stars. No, I am not a Sailor Senshi." She said. "However, I was part of my kingdoms royal court on my home planet where I met and talked with the princess and her guardian Senshi most often."
"But…" Usagi said confused. "How did you get here? I mean… Demando…he brought you here too? What for?" Could Demando have gone to another planet in his time of absence between her escaping and him killing her friends? Why? Unless this whole thing was a hoax and she was in on some plot with him, but… Looking at her Usagi couldn't help but trust her, and believe everything she said. But it didn't make sense then… something didn't add up. What was Demando up to?
"I don't even know what I am anymore…I can't remember and my body doesn't feel like my own…" Usagi snapped out of her inner thoughts as Yumeno's voice cracked no longer sounding warm and kind but worried and alone. "Something evil was there…something was going to happen. I had to warn my princess, I had to tell someone. All I remember is pain and a flash of golden light. When I woke up, I was laying naked in a room filled with green light. A man was standing over me and a woman's voice spoke from the corner. What they said I don't know…. then I passed out. When I came too the second time, I was in a small bedroom. The man I had seen before told me this was where I would be sleeping, and that I would serve the king and queen of the castle. If the castles aura didn't tell me enough already, I could tell something sinister was going in here by the sound of voice alone…"
"A woman's voice and a man's? Esmerodo and Demando?" Usagi asked after she was done.
"The woman from your dream? No." She said when Usagi nodded. "Your dream reveals the woman to be dead, and I only awoke a while ago. I came upon you lying across the floor not but a few minutes after I left my room."
"And the man's voice…"
"The man whom you call Demando he was not. While I could not see him because of the black cloak he fastened over himself, I could tell from the voice and build they are not one in the same. Princess Serenity…" She started before Usagi could say anything else. "Is it really true? Are the Sailor Senshi and prince of this star dead?"
"I don't…" She choked on her own words. "I don't want to say yes but…"
"Then Serenity…Sailor Moon is our only hope. You must free yourself from here and rise to what is coming ahead... Its evil presence has already made its way to my planet and I fear soon it will make its way to yours."
"She's right… this hell is nothing compared to what is about to come…"
"I will help you in anyway I can your highness." Yumeno rose from the bed and kneeled on the floor, bowing.
"Yumeno, can I ask you something else?"
"Anything." She smiled.
"What was the name of your home planet?"
"We call it…Kinmokusei."
