Chapter 7

Beginning of the End
Revised Edition

"Sailor Moon, what just…" Mars fell to her knees at Sailor Moon's side. She shook slightly but tried her best to place a hand on her friends' shoulder. "Sailor Moon?" She slowly turned around and faced the fire princess with tears beginning to form in the corner of her eyes. Mars could tell she was trying her hardest to keep them in.
"Fool, stop trying to be so brave…" Mars wrapped her arms around Sailor Moon and they cried together.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Is she okay?" One of the girls asked. Mamoru just walked out of Usagi's room at the Hino Shrine temple. He shook his head at the question.
"She's out of it." He said.
"She's better off asleep then being awake right now." Haruka was leaning against one of temple's posts. Everyone stayed silent, lost in their own thoughts.
"They're not dead." Hearing a voice speak felt awkward enough, but what it said snapped everyone awake. They sought out the voice to find Chibi-Usa sitting against the wall and looking up at the stars. "They can't be."
"Chibi-Usa…" Hotaru made to place her hand on her friends shoulder, but it was smacked away.
"No! It's not true Hotaru!" The small child turned to look at everyone else. "It's just a trick to lure Usagi away from us, I know it!" When she got more pitiful looks she continued to argue her point. "You guys weren't there when we fought against Demando the first time." She directed this at Hotaru, Haruka and Michiru. "This is almost exactly like it was before. Rei don't you remember, The Room of Darkness?"
Rei felt a cold chill run down her spine. "It seems that way doesn't it." She said coldly. "But when Ami, Makoto and myself were taken to The Room of Darkness we vanished in thin air, and this time…we saw them…" She didn't continue.
"If they are being held captive, then the only way to get them back is to destroy Demando and everyone else. However, we don't even know how they're alive now." Setsuna pointed out. "They did die, there is no doubt about that. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen ripped Demando apart themselves, and the power of the Silver Crystal destroyed The Death Phantom and the Dark Crystal. Now not only are they back, but they have stronger powers then before. Neo Queen Serenity is the only one with the power of rebirth, and that has strict taboos on itself."
"Mama would never bring those monsters back." Chibi-Usa said bitterly. "Never."
"There has to be some explanation for it. But what?" They heard a distant noise like someone moving around coming from inside Usagi's room.
"We should discuss this another night." Rei looked at Usagi's room. "Usagi might be reluctant to talk, it might bring up more about what… what went on between her and Demando, but she should join in the conversation as well."
"Right. Let's all meet here sometime tomorrow to talk more about it. For tonight, we should all just get some rest. Make sure you all have your communicator's on you."
"Chibi-Usa and I will keep an eye on Usagi tonight." Rei said seeing everyone off. Hotaru walked infront of Haruka and started pulling on her shirt to get her attention.
"I would also like to stay with the princess tonight." Haruka smiled at the child and then looked at Rei giving her a 'do you mind' type look. When Rei shook her head, Haruka bent down and patted Hotaru on the head.
"We'll see you tomorrow then. Make sure to get some sleep. Bye everyone."
"See you later." Rei waved. After everyone exchanged goodbyes, they all took off from the shrine leaving Rei, Chibi-Usa and Hotaru to stay with Usagi. Haruka offered Mamoru a ride since he didn't have his car with him. As he got out, Haruka got out with him.
"Hey." She said. Mamoru looked back over his shoulder to see her standing outside the driver's side. "Take it easy on yourself okay? Usagi doesn't blame you for anything, and you shouldn't either."
Mamoru smiled weekly at her words. "Right." He said.
"Have you ever wondered what you were reborn for?" She asked looking up at the stars. Mamoru was slightly taken aback by the out of place question. "I mean, you and I, we are a lot alike in that way."
"What do you mean?"
"Michiru told me about it. How she could see it in your eyes the first time she met you. Prince Endymion, reborn to be with his princess, and yet, you felt like there was no reason for your rebirth because Usagi has those four to protect her." Mamoru blinked and didn't know what to say.
"When I heard that at the time, I got so angry. At least you were able to be with her. All I ever wanted was to be by her side and protect her, even with the power of a Senshi, something you didn't have, I could never protect her. And yet… here we both are." She smiled.
"Haruka…" He finally understood what she meant.
"Our princess will not forsake us no matter what may happen, our fault or not. She would sacrifice herself as much for us as we would her. So don't go pitying Usagi and blaming yourself. Just be there for her now, and that's all she could ask for."
"Goodnight, Haruka." Mamoru smiled warmly at her before he walked away to his room.
"See you later, prince."
Unlocking his door, Mamoru came home to a cold and empty apartment, kicking his shoes off and unbuttoning his shirt, he collapsed on the sofa. He sat there in the dark, staring up at the ceiling and sighed. Through all the kind words he had just been given, a small piece of him still couldn't help but feel guilty. If he had just gone after her instead of Chibi-Usa, but he knew at the time, he had to chase Chibi-Usa into the void. Somewhere in his mind, he heard Usagi screaming… "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!!!"
Usagi was lying on a bed in a palace room. "Mamoru…" She muttered into the pillows.
"Chibi-Usa!" Tuxedo Kamen screamed elsewhere. "Chibi-Usa chan?"
"Mamoru…" A warm sensation flooded over Usagi. Someone was playing with her hair and touching her face, a finger caressing her lips…
"Chibi-Usa!"
"Mamoru!" With a flash of white light, Usagi snapped awake. It was as if, something had just protected her from something… Demando was staring down at her in awe, gripping his right hand. Her heart began to beat fast. "Don't touch me…" she shivered holding the Silver Crystal tightly. She had to get a grip, until she saw him again; she knew she couldn't die here. "Where are my friends? Where is the dungeon?"
"Poor thing, they are probably dead by now…"
"They're alive, I'll find them!"
"I wont let you go…"
"Heh!" With a loud thud, Usagi was pulled back onto the bed as Demando joined her. "What are you doing? Let go of me! Let go!" Usagi felt like passing out, she still hadn't regained complete control of her body as the power of their planet and crystal was making her weak and ill. "M-mamoru!"
"Your Endymion isn't here…
"No… stop…STOP! MAMORU?"
"CHIBI-USA!"
"NO!" Opening his eyes, Mamoru shot straight up from the sofa. Panting heavily, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Damnit." He looked down at the clock to see an hour had passed. He must have fallen asleep and dreamt of Usagi… "STOP! MAMORU!" Panicking, he jumped up trying to shake loose the image from his mind. A surge of intense guilt overpowered his body. Why hadn't he have ever known what went on between Demando and Usagi? Why? He hated himself, feeling sick to his stomach. At the time, no one knew of Demando's infatuation. Mamoru had thought, that when she was kidnapped she was being held captive with Rei and everyone else. If he had only gone after her….
Sighing, Mamoru began walking toward his bed. "I'm sorry Haruka, the one time it was all up to me, and I didn't do anything…" As he passed by the table where his phone sat, he noticed the light flashing on the answering machine. Fearing what kind of dreams he might have again, he stalled and pressed the button down to listen. "What more can I do to hurt you, Usa-Ko?"
"One new message for, Chibi Mamoru." The machine beeped and the message began. "Yes, hello. My name is Doctor Bens from Harvard University in North America. I was hoping to speak to you in person, however it seems out are out at the moment. I would just like to congratulate you, Mr. Chiba, on a well-written and impressive essay that we have chosen to take part in our program. If you are interested in studying abroad at our facilities this coming term and have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call." The machined beeped again. "End of message."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Night had passed and morning was on its way. Most people were still asleep in their warm beds, but Usagi was wide-awake in hers. She was twiddling her locket in her hands trying hard not to think about what had happened, but instead tried focusing on something that had been driving her nuts since she found out the truth of his return. She knew why he was back, but Usagi couldn't get a grasp on the how part. Rolling over so she didn't face the wall, Usagi watched Rei, Chibi-Usa and Hotaru sleep peacefully. Luna and Artemis were curled up together by Rei and Diana was next to Hotaru and Chibi-Usa.
Watching them sleep for a while, she finally made up her mind. Smiling, she tucked some of Chibi-Usa's loose hair behind her ear, and kissing her gently on the forehead Usagi silently rose from bed trying not to wake those around her. Grabbing a white robe, she pulled it around her pj's as she slipped outside, put on some flip flops, and walked away.
"Mama?" Chibi-Usa sat up slowly, wiping away the sleep in her eyes. It felt like Mama was tucking me in just now. She thought. "Usagi?" The pink haired child turned to look at Usagi, the only problem was there was no one there to look at. "Huh?" She got out of bed as well, wrapping her blanket around her. She looked around the room then walked outside and around the corners. When she didn't find her in the bathroom and noticed her shoes were gone, she panicked. "Usagi!" Chibi-Usa ran back inside the room and began shaking Rei with all her might. "Rei-Chan wake up!" Rei rolled over and tried pushing her away.
"Mmm, later." She drooled into her pillow.
"REI!" Chibi-Usa shouted straight into her ear causing Rei to jump.
"Wh-what?" She looked around confused until she saw Chibi-Usa next to her. Realizing what the kid just did, she got angry. "What was that for!" She demanded.
"What's going on?" Hotaru woke up followed by Diana, Luna and Artemis.
"Usagi's missing! I searched everywhere and her shoes are gone!"
"WHAT?" They raced to find some jackets to pull over their sleep wear and headed out the door as soon as possible not knowing where they were going. The cats stayed behind in case Usagi came back, and Hotaru called Michiru on the communicator.
"What's that idiot thinking?" They heard Haruka mutter in the background. "Did they try calling her communicator?"
"I just did, no response." The faded voice of Setsuna told Haruka.
"Do you have any idea where she could have gone?" Michiru asked from the other end of the signal.
Hotaru shook her head. "No we don't, but we were going to start at Jubban Center and work our way over to Ichi no Hashi Park."
"Alright, we'll meet you at the park after we contact Mamoru."
"Okay." She flipped the communicator off and they continued to head towards Jubban Center.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Usagi watched as the sun slowly started to rise. For some reason, it felt fake to her. She sat on a swing holding her locket rocking herself back and forth just slightly, her feet digging themselves into the dirt. She felt uneasy as Demando sat there on the other swing next to her. He was not rocking back and forth but sat still, staring at her in anticipation. He placed his hand on her leg but she moved her leg away emotionless.
"You might as well get use to it, now that you've given yourself to me." Usagi bit the bottom of her lip.
"I'm not-" She started. "I'm not giving myself to you."
"Oh?" Demando raised an eyebrow, filled with curiosity. "Then what do you call this?"
"I call it a bargain." She said. "You will leave my friends alone. They have suffered enough because of me. And you will let Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter go."
Demando laughed. Usagi looked up at him. "Why do you care so much about what happens to those guardians of yours? They were born to die for you, nothing more."
"You'll never understand." She glared at him. "Is it a deal or not, Demando?"
"Even If I wanted to, I could never give you your three friends back. While I admit I am powerful, I still cannot bring those who are dead back to life."
"I don't believe you…" Usagi said angrily. "My friends are NOT dead."
"Ahhh, how the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant or hard, you erase it from your memory and create your own reality. Even you Serenity, are not immune to that."
"Say what you want! I know the truth!" Her voice was bitter and her eyes burned.
"Princess, you know I can't…" Demando leaned in closer and whispered in her ear. "…resist those eyes." He ran his cold hand up her leg.
"Don't touch me!" She slapped his hand away but Demando grabbed her wrist with the other.
"Do you still believe that is an option?" He growled. "You who foolishly believes that your friends are alive and are willing to sacrifice yourself for pawns. You have given yourself to me or have you not? By all means leave, and I'll gladly spill more blood to reach you one way or another."
"No." She breathed. This wasn't just about saving her friends; this was about her as well. She didn't want to think about what she had just handed herself over to, what might happen, but she knew if she was ever going to find out how they were back and find a way to destroy them, would be to be right where all the answers were, with Demando.
"Good. Then you will let me do with you as I please." Demando moved in closer wrapping an arm around his prizes body. This is what he wanted, the future Neo Queen Serenity. He tilted her head back so it touched the chain of her swing, causing it to chime in their silent surrounding. The sun was higher up in the sky now, causing everything to warm and lighten around them. It would have been a scene out of a dream, if only she was with someone else…. Mamoru! Her insides screamed as Demando pressed his lips against hers.
"USA-KO!" Usagi broke away from the kiss instantly, leaving Demando in a bad temper. He too turned around and faced the man standing there. Mamoru stood immobile.
"You really should work on that timing of yours, Endymion."
"What…"
"Usagi!" Hotaru, Chibi-Usa, Rei, Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru were closing in on Mamoru. She made a small movement to run towards them but Demando pulled her back down.
"Do not forget you are mine."
"Usagi what are you doing?" Rei shouted. "Going off on your own! Demando let go of her!"
"Alright then." He smiled. "Go to them if you wish." He said loudly. Usagi glared at him out of the corner of her eye.
"What are you doing Usagi! Get over here!" Michiru shouted across the park. Usagi just turned her head away from them. She should have left sooner, and now she had to stand here and play Demando's sick game.
"Good girl." He kissed her cheek. "Shall we leave then?"
"Usa-Ko!" Mamoru's voice carried across the atmosphere and landed right in the middle of her heart. Regret began to flood there, as Demando moved his hand from her arm to around her once more.
"She is mine now. She has come of her own free will."
"Liar!" Setsuna screeched. "Let go of her Demando." Without a second's hesitation, he released her, stepping to the side and placing his hands inside his pockets.
"You heard them. Go to them." He smiled.
"Bastard." Usagi whispered to him.
"Go ahead Serenity," He raised his voice loud enough to carry a mile away. "I am not stopping you." He glanced down at Usagi was started trembling with rage.
"Im sorry you guys…" She turned to face them trying as hard as possible not to let her voice crack. "I'm going to go on ahead."
"You can't be serious…" Michiru said solemnly.
"I am."
"After everything we've been through to get you back! After Venus, Mercury and Jupiter died for you! And you're going back!" Rei shouted at her. "What about Mamoru? Are you going to leave him like this? What's really going on, huh, Usagi! Are you trying to protect us or something? Or are you just looking for a way to-"
"SHUT UP!" Crap, Rei. Why did she always have to be right, and why did she have to be right at this particular moment in front of him. "You weren't suppose to know I was leaving, I-"
"STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHINGT BY YOURSELF DAMNIT! YOU'RE GOOD NATURE IS PISSING ME OFF!" Rei bellowed back.
"Enough. She has decided." Demando moved back over to her side, placing an arm around her waist. As he did, Usagi wanted nothing more then for him to drop to the ground dead. Mamoru watched them as he ran his other hand across her cheek making Usagi dig her fingernails into her hand to try and stop from pushing him away. "She will never be yours again Endymion."
Before she realized what was going on, Usagi was on the ground staring up at a panting man on top of her while the shouts of her friends screamed his name.
"Mamoru?" He had charged and ripped Demando apart from her. Demando must have not expected it, because Mamoru got away with only a bleeding lip.
"I won't lose you again!"
"I don't want to lose you either…"
"Then why?" She could feel tears start to make their way down her face. Usagi tried to wriggle away, but Mamoru had a firm grip on her shoulders. "No matter what you might think, you're not a burden, to me or to anyone. The fate of the Senshi, is something they chose. We choose to love you, and we choose to die for you, just as you chose to leave for us."
"But… I don't want to lose you." She was crying now. "I don't want anyone to die for me!"
"And I don't want anyone to put themselves in danger for me. So we're even."
"Mamo-" Their lips meant.
"I love you."
"SERNEITY!" Demando stood, wiping the blood from his face where Mamoru had knocked him to the ground. "Don't forget you are mine! Or do yo want to see the image of your friends bloody corpses." Usagi shrank back into Mamoru's arms.
"Stop! I'm not going to listen to your mind games anymore! My friends are not sacrificial pawns and I wont let them die!"
"Stupid fool. You could have put a stop to everything, but now I will take everything you cherish away from you!" He charged at Usagi and Mamoru. They went crashing to the floor, Mamoru holding Usagi tightly in his arms so he couldn't grab her away. But after the hit nothing came, and Demando vanished.
"Where did he go?" Everyone looked around them frantically as they raced over to Mamoru and Usagi, but that was exactly the distraction Demando had wanted.
"Eiyaahh!" Chibi-Usa let out a short-lived scream behind them. The white prince stood behind the wide-eyed child holding onto her throat. Chibi-Usa tried her best to thrash out of his grasp and bite him, but it was no good. At this rate, she would suffocate to death.
"CHIBI-USA!" Usagi screamed mortified. Mamoru and Setsuna had to hold her back from running to them.
"Now Serenity, come with me or I will kill your and Endymion's only child right before your eyes."

The Return of Prince Demando
