Chapter 16- Warning To Minako

Chibiusa picked out what she wanted to eat with the help of Minako. The pink-haired girl had a bag of chips in one hand with chocolate milk in the other. She was sitting down with the rest of the senshi in the hospital cafeteria until Mamoru arrived, asking the girls if he and Chibiusa could talk in private. Ami, Makoto, and Minako obliged. They picked up their trays and moved to another table. The cafeteria was huge and there were many tables to choose from, so they moved far enough that they were out of earshot of Mamoru and Chibiusa's conversation.

"Chibiusa, how do you feel knowing Rei is doing fine?"

"It feels great, Mamoru, but I'm a little confused. I mean, Usagi left you to be with her. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that."

Mamoru looked directly into Chibiusa's eyes. "I don't want you to think anything bad about Rei. She has never done anything wrong to you."

Chibiusa was surprised at how Mamoru was defending Rei so strongly, despite what she and Usagi had put him through. "But, Usagi broke up with you to be with Rei. Doesn't that make you feel sad at all?"

Mamoru sighed. "Yes, Chibiusa, and if I can be quite honest with you, it hurts, and it hurts like hell."

Chibiusa's eyes widened. She never heard Mamoru use such language before.

"I'm sad, Chibiusa, and I'm hurting on the inside. However, Usagi is happy, and as long she is happy, then that is fine with me. Besides, we have this new enemy to deal with right now. There isn't much time for sulking. I can do that later." Mamoru lowered his head and turned away from the young girl. "You know, it's funny. I dated Rei a long time ago as well, and now she and Usagi are together. It almost seems like I drive women away."

Chibiusa could hear the hurt in his voice and placed a hand on his thigh. "You will never drive me away, Mamoru." She then hugged the hurting man.

"Thank you, Chibiusa," Mamoru said, hugging her tightly, almost as if he needed to hear those words.

"I wonder how I am still here exactly if Rei and Usagi are together."

"I don't know," Mamoru replied, wondering the same thing. Ironically enough, he glanced over Chibiusa's shoulder and spotted Setsuna approaching them. "Setsuna might know though."

Chibiusa broke the hug and saw Setstuna smiling at them.

"Hey Puu!"

"Hello Small Lady, mind if I take a seat?"

"Not at all!"

Mamoru pulled a chair out for Setsuna. "So you probably know by now that Usagi and I are no longer together."

"Thank you and yes, I do. I'm sorry that you have to go through that," Setsuna said as she sat down.

"I'll get through it, somehow."

Chibiusa took charge of the conversation. "Puu, do you know what happens to me in the future?"

"Actually Small Lady, I haven't had a chance to see. I've been busy lately, but I can check right now if you want me to."

"Could you please?" Chibiusa asked.

"Sure."

Chibiusa and Mamoru leaned in curiously as Setsuna gazed between them. While she appeared to just be staring mindlessly at the wall, they knew that she was actually seeing how the future would play out based on the recent choices made by the Moon Princess.

On the other side of the cafeteria, Makoto and Ami continued to flirt with each other, much to Minako's chagrin. The blonde decided it was time to change the topic. "So I think we sent a strong message to the new enemies with Trinity's death."

"I agree, Minako," Ami said in her now-studious voice. The flirting seemed to stop as Ami investigated further about the enemies, much to Minako's delight now. She would rather talk about the new enemies than to see Ami flirt with Makoto, the unrequited love of her life. "Vardon must be their leader. I wonder what he will do next, especially considering how his lover Trinity was killed. We all saw how Usagi reacted when we thought Trinity killed Rei. She nearly went crazy, but I can't blame her. However, with the new enemy, THIS could put things on a whole new level. Crippling their leader's morale with Trinity's death helps, but remember; it's the injured dog that bites the hardest. Plus, there's also Tritus to worry about."

"I'm sure we will be able to defeat them, Ami," Makoto replied confidently. "We can take those slime balls down. We have been in tougher situations. This is nothing that we can't handle."

Minako always admired Makoto's confidence. The brunette had a bold attitude that complemented her height and strength. Minako could feel her heart fluttering as she unconsciously edged closer towards Makoto. She edged just close enough not to raise any suspicions. "Keep speaking, Makoto," Minako thought to herself.

"But I have to admit, it was pretty romantic for Trinity to die in Vardon's arms. Rei taking the blow for Usagi was even more romantic. We all love the princess, but it's pretty clear that Rei is the most dedicated to her."

Minako's heart went from fluttering to sinking when she noticed Makoto wrapping an arm around Ami. "And I am the most dedicated to you. I would willingly give my life for you Ami, just like Rei would do for Usagi."

"Arrrgh!,Makoto why can't you love ME instead?" Minako was tempted to motion her fingers as a gun and place it to her head until she noticed Artemis walking towards them.

"Hey ladies."

"Hey Artemis," the girls said. They were surprised to see him in his human form instead of a cat.

"Why are you in your human form?" Makoto asked.

"Well, I wanted to visit Rei, but cats aren't allowed in the hospital," Artemis joked. A smile appeared on his face.

Instead of pretending her fingers were a gun, Minako used them to motion Artemis towards her. "Uhhhh, Artemis? Before you see her, can you and I talk privately?"

Artemis followed Minako to another table and sat down with her.

"What's going on, Mina?"

"Well, for one, I wanted to get away from Makoto and Ami. Their flirting was driving me insane."

"You were already insane," Artemis nonchalantly mentioned.

"Shut up, Artemis! That's not the only reason I brought you over here."

"What's the other reason, then?"

Minako lowered her tone into a more serious manner. "What happened on the Moon Kingdom? I know that you know the truth about their past lives. Why does Usagi call Rei her prince now, and what is a soul-eternalization bond?"

Artemis's tone also because more serious. "Minako, I cannot tell you everything right now. You and the senshi will soon find out the entire truth. However, as you're guardian, I will give you some insight. The soul-eternalization bond was a sacred ritual performed on the Moon Kingdom. When two people were in love, they would go to Queen Serenity and she would then extract the individual souls of the couple and have the souls merged into one."

Minako clutched her chest, imagining the process. "Ouch, that sounds painful."

"It actually is physically painful process to go through, but as a result, the couple would become more in tuned with each other on a deeper level. The effects of the bond were different for every couple, but were just as equally powerful. Because of the intensity of the soul-eternalization bond, it was only reserved for the senshi along with those closest to the queen. Rei and Usagi took this bond in their past life. You and Mamoru actually aided in their ritual on the Moon Kingdom."

"Really? But I thought Mamoru and Usagi were in love with each other in their past life."

Artemis looked straight into Minako's eyes. "No Minako, that never happened."

"Then why do we remember it that way?"

Artemis slightly rocked in his chair and bit his lip for a moment. "I cannot tell you that right now either. You and the senshi will also find that out soon enough."

Minako was a bit agitated and slightly confused by Artemis's response, but accepted it and continued to ask questions. "So why does Usagi call Rei her prince."

"'Prince' was the name given to Rei by Usagi. When Rei was addressed back then, we literally called her 'Prince' or 'the Prince'. The only one who didn't call her 'prince' was Luna."

"Why not?" Minako asked curiously.

"Luna and the Prince never got along. You see, the Prince was different from the rest of the senshi. She was a Martian, and Luna hated Martians. For now, let's just say that Martians didn't act like your typical inhabitant in the Solar System and because of that, Luna looked down on them. Serenity fell in love with the Prince, despite her being a Martian. Luna couldn't stand the thought of Serenity and the Prince being together. She even went as far as manipulating the queen, resulting in their love being forbidden."

"That's horrible, Artemis!"

"It is, but that didn't stop Serenity and the Prince from being together. They started meeting secretly in the forest at night."

"Now that's romantic. So what's going to happen now?"

It was now Artemis who was motioning his fingers for Minako to come closer to him. As she leaned forward, Artemis's voice became husky.

"With the new enemies around, I have a strong feeling that Usagi's life will be in danger. If this happens, then Rei is going to be triggered by this, and her subconscious will take over. The Prince will arrive then, and she will neutralize any threat to her princess. Rei will be dressed very similar to Prince Endymion."

"You mean to tell me that Rei was actually dressed as a prince back then too? Get out! Minako exclaimed. "I thought she wore a fuku like ours."

"The fuku was never her original attire. Thanks to Luna, she was also forced to wear that when their love became forbidden. The prince attire was actually standard issue among the Solar System, but Rei's father had her prince uniform customized. Instead of carrying a long sword like Prince Endymion, she will wield a tribal dagger and an ice pick. "

"An ice pick? Does she like to create ice sculptures or something?"

"I never said it was used for ice," Artemis said in a tone that brought chills down Minako's spine.

"Wh-what else will be different about her?"

"Her face will be covered with a blood red scarf from her nose down, appearing as a bandit. The prince will also bear the symbol of Mars on her right breast plate. I'll leave it at that for now, but you will know when you see her."

"Just one more question about Rei and Usagi," Minako persisted. "Why did Usagi call Rei her lion and Rei call Usagi her lioness?"

Artemis couldn't help but to chuckle.

"What's so funny?"

"Do you remember what they were doing when we went to Usagi's house that night?"

Minako went back to the night that Artemis spoke of and remembered what she saw. "Yeah, they were practically getting it on."

"Must you be so blunt, Minako?"

"This is coming from the person who laid right in between them while in cat form."

"I was trying to save your skin! Anyways, let's just say theydid a lot of that on the Moon Kingdomand gave those nicknames to each other in the process."

"Ooooh talk about being naughty in their past life! Hey, did Makoto and I have a secret relationship back then? Did we ever slip off into the forest?" Minako asked, desperately hoping that she shared a romance in her past life with the person she loved.

"Actually, Makoto and Ami were in love back then too and took the soul-eternalization bond together," Artemis replied gently.

Minako looked at Ami and Makoto talking at the other table and sunk into her seat. "I should have expected that it was destiny for them to be together."

Artemis knew that Minako was in love with Makoto without her ever telling him. Seeing her in pain broke his heart. "I'm sorry, but at least you will always have me, Minako."

"Thanks Artemis."

"No problem. I'm going to go visit Rei now. I'll catch up with you in a bit."

As Minako watched Artemis leave the table, she noticed that he was first going towards where Setsuna was.

"Uhhhh, Setsuna? Do you see anything?" Mamoru asked. Five minutes had passed since the Gatekeeper of Time initially gazed into the future and she had not budged since.

"Maybe she fell asleep on us, with her eyes open," Chibiusa pondered.

"No, I'm awake," Setstuna replied, finally looking at them.

"Well, what did you see?" Chibiusa asked.

"Don't worry, Small Lady. Your mother and father will still be there in the future."

Mamoru and Chibiusa looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Mamoru then looked at Setsuna. "They will?"

"Yes, they will."

Chibiusa couldn't understand how that would be possible. "But, what about Rei and Usagi? Does that mean they will break up in the future?"

Setsuna stayed silent on the matter and stood up when she saw Artemis arriving. "Just, live your life, Chibiusa. That's all you can do." Artemis gave her a nod and they headed towards cafeteria door.

After everything Usagi and Rei been through within the last few days, none of this made any sense to Mamoru and Chibiusa.

"Should we tell Rei and Usagi?" Chibiusa asked Mamoru.

Mamoru had to think about this for a minute. "Not tonight. Rei just came out of surgery and they don't need to worry about this right now. We can tell them another time."

Though, deep down, Chibiusa wanted to tell Rei and Usagi this now, she trusted Mamoru on this issue and decided to wait.

Minako took a closer look at Artemis and Setsuna talking near the cafeteria door. Something registered in her mind that they were both connected to Usagi and Rei and their past life more than they lead on, but she couldn't figure out how exactly. However, she did agree with Artemis's strong feelings and started to connect the dots. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars killed Trinity, Vardon's love. Trinity knew that Sailor Moon is the leader so there's a good chance that Vardon might know too. Vardon is angry that Trinity is dead and now he is going to want revenge, and he just may target Sailor Moon. This all made perfect sense to Minako. Even though she couldn't confirm this one-hundred percent herself, she came up with a conclusion.

The Prince is going to show up, and she is going to show up very soon.

Author Notes:

What did you think about the chapter? Did you love it? Was it just plain awful? Let me know. Reviews are always appreciated, whether they are good or bad. Don't keep me in the dark please. I hope this chapter gave a little bit of insight as to why Luna disapproves.
