Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Secret Is Out ❯ It Begins ( Chapter 2 )

The Secret is Out



Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

Yo. This is a joint story by Comet Moon and Christina. It will be a multi-crossover with Ranma and Harry Potter. The four chapters after the translations chapter one are revised from Christina's original draft. The new chapters, starting with six are Comet's with Chris's input. Hope you enjoy.

Christina:

This story is dedicated to my 6-year-old niece Cyrena Celes who wants me to keep writing. And as long it's Sailor Moon. Love you sweetie.

This story will take place during the first season. I should also tell you that this will also have all the parents getting involved.

OK one last thing, please review otherwise I won't know if I'm doing or bad if I don't get reviews I'll think I'm doing bad and may stop writing. I do plan on continuing my other story, but I am suffering from a case of the dreaded writer's block. If you do like this one I may write out my two other ideas that are brewing in my tiny mind. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy ^_^.

Comet Moon:

Ahhh yes, the dreaded writers block. Caught me up in Love, Betrayal and Redemption. But now that I'm teamed up with a muse like Chris, who is more then willing to kick me in the tales, this work seems to be flowing. I'm editing the earlier chapters so they flow better with the later ones. Please feel free to reread them as they have added scenes.

Christina/Comet Moon:

Enjoy the show.

The Secret Is Out

Chapter Two: It begins.

She rolled over, restless in her sleep and reached out for her husband. Realization that he wasn't there and that the sheets were cold quickly tore her from her slumber.

A quick glance at the clock told her what transpired and dread filled her heart as it had each night for the last week. She grabbed her terry cloth robe and bunny slippers, gifts from her children last mothers day, and went to check on her family.

As she made her way down the hall, she checked on her brood as she always had. Reaching her son's room she quietly opened the door and peered inside. A smile bloomed on her face as she spied him with the covers kicked off. Covering him up she bent down to kiss his forehead, knowing that this was the only time she would be able to do it without his protesting such affections.

Next she went to her daughter's room, the true source of her terror the last few nights.

To her relief, she found her sprawled out and snoring softly. The window was opened, not having been shut from her late night excursion. As she closed it, she prayed that this would be the last time for a while that it would be needed to be used.

She covered her daughter and kissed her cheek, a surge of pride filled her as she left the room leaving the door open a crack. As she walked down the stairs she could hear her husband's voice.

"When will the battles be over Luna? When will peace finally return?"

She heard her husband's questions and waited, hoping for some good news. As she held her breath praying for peace, her hopes were dashed when she heard the answer.

"Not anytime soon, I'm afraid. Peace will not be achieved until the evil behind the scenes has been defeated for good."

A sob escaped her as she walked into the room. Her husband looked up as she enter and quickly walked over toward her and held her close.

"I thought you were still sleeping honey are you feeling ok?"

"I'm fine Kenji just worried. What time did she come home tonight? And was she hurt? " Ikuko asked of them both.

"She's fine honey, no one was hurt and she has been home for a few minutes now." Kenji led his wife to the sofa and sat down holding her close, both drawing comfort from the other.

Since that faithful night a week ago, when Ikuko had found her daughter missing from her bed and discovered her secret life, both parents had difficultly sleeping. It was the same night they had discovered that the family pet had secrets of her own. Once Luna's secret had been discovered and confronted, the three of them had formed a special bond.

Ikuko and Luna had become close friends, often talking together once everyone was gone for the day. Ikuko had learned all about the Silver Millennium. That her baby was a warrior from a lost kingdom that many never knew existed.

Each day they discussed the events of the previous and how to handle the situation that this family had been thrown in.

"How do the other parents do it Luna? I'm a wreak from the minute she is gone to the time she comes home."

Ikuko had been thinking of calling the other parents of the Senshi in the hopes of forming a support group. Something to help each other out with when their daughters were out saving the world. From experience she knew the benefits of having someone like her husband and Luna to talk this over with, and wanted the other parents to have the same support that she had.

"Well to be honest Ikuko. Other than you and Kenji none of the Senshi's families are aware of the girl's secret. Ami's Mother is busy at the hospital most of the time. Minako's parents are too busy with their own lives to even worry about Minako. And then there is Makoto. Her parents were killed in a plane crash three years ago and has no-one to worry about her coming and going."

Luna's statement shocked her. To think that some parents had no clue to there loved ones lives.

Though it was true that she her self was like them at one time she still felt bad for the young girls. She had begun to suspect something was going on in Usagi's life before she had found her missing on night. Ikuko was positive that there were signs that the other parents should have to have seen had they looked closely enough.

And her heart went out to Makoto having to live alone, more then a little annoyed that Luna hadn't mentioned this before. She closed her eyes and tilted her head back. Suddenly tired from the latest news. Kenji looked down at his wife and then glanced at the clock on the T.V. and noticed how late it was.

"Why don't we finish this talk tomorrow all right?"

Luna stood up and readily agreed. She wished the two a good night and went upstairs. As she walked up to bed she wondered yet again if it was a good thing having Usagi's parents know everything. It was nice not having to worry alone anymore, and being free to speak in her own home, but if anything happened to Usagi she did not want her parents to worry either.

Unknown to Luna, Usagi's parents did not sleep that night. Instead they talked deep into the night, and as the morning star rose over the horizon they had come to several conclusions that would alter the fate of the entire universe.

A few hours later the neighborhood breathed a sigh of relief. Their morning wake up call was late and they feared for the well being of the child. But the familiar holler allayed their fears.

"AHHHHHH, I'M SOOOOOO LATE!!!!!!" a young girl screamed causing the sleeping cat to jump.

"Luna, why didn't you wake me? " She screeched as she ran around the room getting ready for the run of her life.

"Oh, Usagi your always late I don't see what makes today any different from all the other times." she said as she tried to go back to sleep.

"I know that Luna, but today I am really late." Usagi said as she began to gather her school supplies.

Luna looked at the clock and was shocked to see that it was later than normal. She wondered where Ikuko was and why she had let Usagi sleep in. While Usagi finished getting ready Luna went downstairs to speak with her.

Meanwhile downstairs:

Usagi's parents were listening to Usagi's cries. It was funny listening to her argue with Luna about not waking her up. The decision they had both stayed up all night talking about had left both a bit exhausted. They had already set parts of the decided plan into motion. Now all they had to do was confront their daughter and Luna.

"Good morning Kenji, Ikuko. How are you both doing this morning?" Luna greeted them as she walked in.

"Good morning Luna, we are doing well thank you. How are you doing today? Did you get enough sleep? " Kenji asked as Ikuko went to get Luna some milk.

"I could have done with some more sleep, but otherwise I feel rested." Luna thanked Ikuko as she brought her some warm milk. It was just the way she liked it, warm with a touch of cinnamon.

"If I may ask why did you let her sleep in so late today?" Luna asked, looking somewhat comical with the milk mustache on her lip. She was curious as to why Ikuko failed to make her daily struggle to awaken her daughter.

She noticed the quick glance that passed between the two, and a feeling of dread crawled down her spine.

"If you don't mind Luna I would like to wait until Usagi comes down. We need to talk with both of you. "

`Both? What?'

But before Luna could process this, they heard Usagi trying to sneak down the stairs in an attempt to by pass her Mother. They heard whispering as she walked past the living room. The two left the confused cat pondering their statement.

"Please don't let me get caught. Please don't let me get caught." Usagi had the door cracked open and was trying to sneak out when she heard her mother's voice.

"Going somewhere?" Ikuko asked a smile on her face. Her father was standing next to her waiting to see the young girl's face.

"Eeep. Hi Mom, just going to school. I don't want to be late so I better get going." Usagi said cringing and prayed that she could get away without being grounded till next year.

"Usagi we all ready called the school your excused for the day." Her Father said, knowing full well that she would be shocked with him being home at this hour.

Usagi spun around and saw her parents standing together. She closed the door and walked toward them feeling nervous.

"Um is everything ok?" she asked afraid.

"Yes, darling everything is fine. We just need to talk to you. And it is important." Her mother said. Now that the time had come to confront her daughter Ikuko was at a lost for words.

"All this morning I had planned out word for word what I wanted to say to you, and now I don't know how to say it."

"Mom what ever it is you can tell me." Usagi said reassuringly.

"All right Usagi I guess the best way is to just come out and say it. Or should I say Sailor Moon."
