Chapter 5
Sorrowful Secrets
Revised Edition
"I got it, I got it, damn." Minako said slipping a little. Rei who was watching from the side walked over to her.
"Step aside and watch a pro." She stuffily grabbed the rope and tried to tie it to a hook that came out from the ceiling. "Almost there…ahhh stupid thing." She missed.
"A pro huh?" Minako teased with her arms crossed.
"Oh shut up." Rei snapped.
"Oh brother you two are hopeless." Makoto set down a heavy box on a table and walked over to the two. "Let me do it." She took the rope in her hands and easily tied it to the hook. "There see…what?" She looked down at Rei and Minako who had exchanged glum looks.
"Yeah well you're tall so you can hang the banner easily." They pointed out. Makoto laughed.
"Yeah okay. So since you guys cant tie anything high up and we don't have a latter," They raised their eyebrows at her. "Why don't you go help with the cake or some other decorations?" She checked her watch. "Mamoru-san should be here with Usagi in a bit."
"I wouldn't count on that." The doors slid open and Chibi-Usa walked in with Hotaru. She placed her umbrella next to the coat rack and then took off her pink jacket and hung it up. Hotaru followed her lead and they both shook their heads showering water all over the floor.
"Still raining." Hotaru said.
"I can't believe its coming down that hard this time of year." Chibi-Usa finished ringing out her hair and made her way inside.
"Chibi-Usa what do you mean I wouldn't count on that?" Minako asked. But it was Hotaru who answered.
"Usagi locked herself in her room at Rei's temple and Chibi-Usa couldn't get her to come out, so Luna is trying to persuade her right now before Mamoru gets there." She said.
"But why?" Makoto asked stunned.
"She's been acting odd and distant ever since we arrived back with her. She barely talks with her family and you can tell she's trying to completely avoid us." Rei said.
"Is she still shook up about Demando?" Minako pondered aloud.
"But I don't know why she'd be avoiding us then." Makoto looked at everyone as if they could tell her why.
"She never…" They all turned to look at Chibi-Usa. Her head was down and staring at the floor and her eyes were full of complete sadness. "I knew it, but I didn't wanna believe it, I couldn't believe it…that she never told you guys…" Her voice trailed off.
"What? Told us what?" Rei's expression jumped.
"I-I shouldn't be the one to tell you guys that. In fact, I don't think Usagi wants you knowing, sorry but-" She broke off for Motoki had just walked by with the cake.
"Here you guys are." He put the white and pink iced cake on the same table as the box. "All that's left is the writing you guys want to put on it."
"Probably just Happy Birthday Usagi and-"
"And Chibi-Usa." Chibi-Usa finished.
"Yes, and Chibi-Usa, we didn't forget." Makoto smiled. Motoki took a small bottle of icing and wrote those words on top the cake and then he left to go back to he kitchen.
"So Chibi-Usa, about Usagi, she-"
"I'm going to go see if Ami needs help with something." And she ran off. She knew she wasn't going to be the one to tell Usagi's friends the truth.
Over at Rei's temple Usagi was locked in her room lying on the floor and staring up at the ceiling. Her head was propped up slightly against a pillow and her right hand was fiddling with the small black crystal with the black moon in her hand.
It had almost been a couple weeks since her rescue, but Usagi knew that no matter how Saturn had threatened them and how quiet they had been, it wasn't close to over. She couldn't wrap her finger around any possible ideas how they could be back. What was more frustrating, she couldn't find a weakness either. Their new earrings had to be connected to them somehow, their earrings use to be fragments of dark crystal, but that was destroyed. Or as far as she knew, it had been destroyed.
She raised the small piece of crystal in front of her face and examined it. Mamoru had told her it had similar properties to the Black Moons' Dark Crystal, so maybe that meant the Dark Crystal had been destroyed, and they had a new crystal keeping them alive. Something like that…She thought.
But then how were they reborn or reincarnated in the first place? As far as she knew she, that is, Neo Queen Serenity was the only one with the power for rebirth, and the chance of her letting Demando live again was well into the negatives. Of course even if that were true, Usagi was sure there had to be come other way to be reborn. Life and Death was still a mystery to the senshi just about as much as anyone else.
Usagi turned over on her side and closed her eyes, shoving the crystal fragment back into her pocket. What bugged her most of all, was that the return of Demando met the return of all her nightmares and a bunch of old problems. She couldn't dodge her friends' questions about what happened while she was captive forever. Then there were the Outer Senshi, excluding Pluto, that wanted to hear from Usagi what had happened in Crystal Tokyo the first time she was kidnapped.
"Hey Usagi!" There was a rapping at the door.
"What is it Shingo?" She hollered back.
"A telephone call for you, and you better hurry up, dad's going nuts that Mamoru called. Apparently he's trying to steal away his little girl for her birthday…"
"Oh shoot!" Abandoning all previous thoughts, Usagi kicked up off the ground and flung the door open sprinting past her brother and a small black cat. She turned around a narrow passage way and went through a door leading to a huge room.
"But dear it's our babies birthday, she doesn't need to be hanging around a man! Who knows what could happen if they had a party together-" Kenji sobbed grabbing the phone which had been rescued by Ikuko.
"Oh you're over exaggerating!" She said. "Usagi hurry and take the phone." Usagi grabbed it with haste as Ikuko pushed the sobbing Kenji out the room.
"Mamo-chan, sorry about that." She paused for a second, and then inhaled sharply. She didn't speak a word, only clutched the phone tightly to her face and listened. Then with all the effort she could muster, she finally spoke. "H-how did you-" But the other end went dead.
"Usagi-chan?" Luna wrapped around Usagi's feet and looked up at her. With a light shiver she set the phone back down and as soon it clicked it rang again. Usagi's eyes widened and she grabbed for it.
"You…oh Mamo-chan." Usagi slumped against the wall and slid partly down it. "Yeah I'm ready…um…actually…is it okay if Haruka picks me up? She seemed like she really wanted to." She paused listening. "Yeah she should be here soon, I'm ready whenever she gets here. I'll see you there, I love you, bye." Usagi set the phone down for a second time and kept her hand on it for a brief moment after she hung up. Sorry, Mamoru…
"Usagi what are you doing?" Luna asked sharply. "Is Haruka really coming?"
"I got to go make sure I have everything…"
"Usagi!" Luna called after her but Usagi was already out of the room and halfway to her own.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Jeez, I wish Setsuna and the others would hurry and get here. Who knows when Mamoru will be here with Usagi." Rei said tapping her fingernails against the tabletop.
"Hotaru do you have any idea when those three will be here?" Makoto asked.
"Nope, I left early to meet with Chibi-Usa." She said.
"I just hope this years birthday isn't a bummer like Usagi's last one." Minako sighed. She had on a party hat and her head was resting on the palm of her hand, while her free hand was playing with a balloon. Chibi-Usa looked at her with interest.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Oh yeah that's right you weren't here yet." She said sitting up a little. "Well we threw her a surprise party but she ended up leaving early to find Mamoru and apologize, I don't know why they got in a fight." She waved Chibi-Usa's coming comment aside. "Anyway, she was attacked by the Death Busters and they figured out she was Sailor Moon so I had to act as a decoy to trick them and-" Hotaru and Chibi-Usa burst out laughing.
"I would have done anything to see you dressed as Sailor Moon Minako…" Chibi-Usa chuckled. Everyone else snorted as well.
"What, what's so funny?" Minako asked.
"Sorry, but that was pretty bad." Ami smiled.
"Haha, I agree." Makoto said.
"Hey I thought it was a pretty good disguise!" Minako tried defending herself.
"What was pretty good?" Mamoru walked through the door hanging his coat. Chibi-Usa hugged him as he walked over to them.
"Hey where's Usagi?" She asked.
"She said she was coming with Haruka."
"WHAT?" Someone gasped. Standing somewhere behind him stood Setsuna, Michiru and Haruka. "Usagi told me you were picking her up when I offered." Haruka sounded horror struck.
"This is what Luna and I feared!" Luna and Artemis came running in through the door drenching wet. "Luna thinks she's headed over to Tokyo Tower."
"Why?"
"She got another weird phone call right before Mamoru called her! I think it was Demando again!" Luna panted.
"That idiot, why's she going alone?" Rei stood up.
"We have to go right now!" Michiru yelled. "Mamoru can you fit Makoto, Rei, Ami and Minako in your car with Luna and Artemis, and Chibi-Usa and Hotaru can ride along with us?"
"Yeah that should be fine." He said.
"Alright lets go." Haruka pushed open the door allowing everyone to spill out before she followed.
Outside the clouds blocked the night sky, which gave a loud rumble, and then a bright flash lit the surrounding area. The rain began to turn into ice and hailed down against their cars as they drove down the road.
"This is nuts." Chibi-Usa leaned against the back window and peered out of it. "Usagi's out in this?"
"This storm doesn't feel natural to me." Setsuna looked out her own window.
"No…it doesn't." Michiru suddenly grasped a hold of Haruka's arm. "Haruka we're here, slow down and park somewhere."
"I know, I know." Haruka turned the wheel and parked her car near a building by the tower, with Mamoru pulling in after her and parking at her side. As everyone got out of the cars they were instantly drenched. The hail and rain mixture was coming down so hard it looked as if the pavement was warping under its pressure.
Across from them a girl with long golden hair was clutching the bottom of the tower out of breath and soaking wet. Her face was pale and she wasn't alone, a tall man stood no more than a yard infront of her.
"Look over there! It's Usagi!" Hotaru reached her shivering hand around Michiru to point. "She's with Demando!"
"No don't!" Haruka grabbed Chibi-Usa's shoulder to stop her from running forward. "At that close of range he could grab her if he saw us coming! Lets go around in those bushes!" All of them ran into the bushes inching around them until they finally were able to hear Usagi and Demando's voices.
"Do you like my little storm, Serenity?" Demando asked.
"You…how do you have the power to do something like this?" She asked completely lost. Smiling, Demando walked toward her and shrugged like the storm was no big deal. Usagi took an uncertain step back as he advanced on her. "N-no matter what you do, I'm not coming with you."
"Do you really think that is up to you?" His smile was so cold Usagi could feel it and froze to the ground where she stood. The only thing in her line of vision was shining violet eyes, and hot breath bouncing off her face. "Do you remember your highness…that memorable night when Endymion didn't come for you…" Usagi's eyes grew wide. "Before you…" Demando slipped his right hand into her hair and around the back of her neck. "Slipped away…" He yanked her neck up and pulled her lips to his. It took a second before Usagi found herself.
"NO!" She hastily pushed herself away taking a few staggering steps back, while wiping her mouth with her arm. "S-stop…" Her shaking only amused the prince more.
"You do remember! Hahaa! After all these years, your highness I feel honored!"
"Stop…" Minako whispered as she held back Mamoru from lunging forward. Michiru had a hold of Haruka as well, but she was no longer using any strength, her hand simply rested on her partner, whose interest was caught by something else.
"What's he talking about?" She asked.
"How could I…forget…" Usagi clenched her fists into tiny shaking balls. “How could anyone forget, what you- tried to do!!”
"Chibi-Usa?" The young child was no longer watching, but sitting on the ground with both hands over her eyes, trying as hard as possible not to let the other hear her cry.
Demando took another step forward, and Usagi another back. “STAY AWAY! You won’t touch me again!”
“Princess.” Demando smiled. “I’m hurt. Was the experience with me so horrible to you?”
“There was no experience.” Usagi grumbled. “And there never will be!”
“We’ll see about that.”
“No!” Usagi smacked away Demando’s hand as it reached out for her. Tears began to well up in her eyes, her knees shaking. “I won’t let you do this to me again! I won’t let you haunt my nightmares! Do you feel even more honored??!! You will not rape me!!! You won’t even get to try! NOT AGAIN!!!” She cried out.
"Oh my god…" There were a number of thumps as Haruka, Rei and Minako joined Chibi-Usa on the ground, the rest in too much shock to move.
"Something like that…something like that!" Makoto said horrified.
"She went through it alone…" Luna said.
Luna looked back at Mamoru. All color was drained from his face, as he looked onward in disbelief. His hands shook, gripping at the wet ground. “She… never said anything to me…” He bowed his head, fighting back tears, and the anger that began to surge throughout his body.
"Demando!" Usagi yelled through the lashing rain, grabbing her locket. "I don't know how you're back or how you got your powers, but I'm putting a stop to this nightmare! Silver Moon Crystal Power MAKE-UP!"
The Sailor Senshi seized this as their chance and also transformed, running out from the bushes and standing behind Eternal Sailor Moon. At the sight of Tuxedo Kamen and everyone rushing to her side she looked for a moment as if wanting to run away.
"Mamoru…" She said completely terrified.
He shook his head at her, bringing her hand up in his firm grip to kiss it gently. "I love you. Let's defeat him…together…"
"Nothing can…. DEFEAT ME!" Demando spread his arms out and black smoke erupted like a giant wave washing over the Senshi, tearing them apart to be lost in its thick mist away from Sailor Moon.
"Demando!" Eternal Sailor Moon shouted as she tried to run into the darkness to find her friends but could not enter.
"Yes princess?"
"It ends here."
