Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Don't take me home ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Hello again all! …..(sees 116 reviews and faints)…. Well I guess you all like my writing. Thank you so much! My writing is my salvation and my outlet especially during the preparations to leave for Japan, a prospect which has me terrified. Anyone ever been through customs? I'd like to say thank you for all the wonderful reviews. You like me! You really like me ..(gives hyper little giggle). Thank you for the positive encouragement, as I said I've been having some confidence issues lately, so your feedback really helps me a lot. Ok, not much to say today except I hate passport offices. The results of my last poll were that Artemis should be human, a prospect I'm considering, Naru should be a scout but should she be Sailor Mars or perhaps the missing Sailor Earth? And of course, many, many, MANY people want Seiya to appear, and they are tied with the Mamoru advocators, so help me come a decision here! Standard disclaimers used here. I don't own Sailor Moon, but in a happy little planet in a galaxy far, far away…I like to think I do. Happy reading!



Naru looked up at the sky and sighed. Usagi had been gone for only a day and she missed her like crazy. It was one thing to know her best friend was at a different school across town, another thing to know she was on the other side of the world. She felt like part of her had been wrenched away. She smiled as she saw Ami walking towards her. "Hi Ami." She smiled.

Ami grinned at her. "Hi Naru, how are you today?"

"Missing Usagi." She sighed. "Things seem so different with her gone. Everything seems so much more bleak and depressing. I never realized how much she meant to me, or how much she lit up this city until she left."

"That is normally the way." Ami agreed. "I confess to liking it here less with her gone, but I also have to accept that it was the actions of her friends and her boyfriend that finally drove her away. I don't think she would have accepted at all if we hadn't picked on her so much, and if Mamoru had any intelligence in his head."

"Yes," Naru nodded. "I thought you senshi were supposed to support your leader and encourage her, not deride her."

Ami stared speculatively at Naru. "I knew she told you, but I wasn't expecting to hear you admit it to me so soon. Yes, I am one of the senshi, and yes, it was our actions that finally broke her and drove her away."

"Particularly the lying about Mamoru and Rei." Naru shook her head in exasperation. "Honestly Ami, how could you? She is the most guileless and deceit-free person in this world. She is the most pure and trusting, and you went and lied to her. I'm so angry and disgusted at the senshi right now, I don't know how I could ever accept being one!"

"Yes Usagi told me you have senshi ability Naru. The question remains as to just WHICH senshi you are." Ami told her.

"What do you mean?" Naru looked confused.

"Will you inherit Sailor Mars' powers now that she has been stripped of them? Or are you perhaps Sailor Earth herself, because we've never believed that Mamoru was the sole representation for Earth, unless he's a cross dresser or something." Ami explained.

Naru giggled. "Usagi never told me anything about him cross-dressing, but then again she told me that Mamoru didn't want to have extended physical contact with her."

"That was one of the things that drove him to Rei though." Ami sighed. "He was afraid to touch Usagi, with her purity and her beauty. He didn't want to tarnish her light, and he was afraid he'd lose control and ravish her like some maddened animal until he was sated. So he turned to Rei. He didn't really love Rei, but she saw he was sexually frustrated and thought Usagi had been denying him…"

"Mamoru never even asked her though!" Naru cut in.

"Exactly, but we never thought to ask that question, and he never offered an explanation. Rei cast a lust charm confusing the hell out of Venus who thought it could be love, Venus told us to lie to Usagi about it until she could figure it out further, we lied to Usagi, she caught Rei and Mamoru and then left us." Ami stared at the sky. "What a tangled web we weave."

"Well I think you're all ugly. What you did was so ugly." Naru said in a harsh whisper, tears in her eyes. "And she was beautiful. She tried to bring some beauty and light into your ugly little world and you betrayed her for it."

"She forgave me." Ami said simply.

"I haven't." Naru replied angrily. "I never betrayed Usagi. I've never left her. Once I knew she was Sailor Moon, I understood why she had drawn away from me, to protect me. But you girls took her from me, and I haven't forgiven any of you for that. She tried to spend time with me and you took her away. You always had one of your little meetings scheduled. I forgave her that, but not you. You never even apologized for taking her from me."

"I'm here now Naru to make it up to you. I want to scan you and run some tests on you to figure out what Senshi abilities you have." Ami changed the subject deftly. "I want to know you like Usagi knows you. I want to be your friend, and when the time is right, we will go to our Princess."

Naru nodded wordlessly. "I wonder if I was alive in the Silver Millennium?" she questioned.

"That's what we are going to find out." Ami replied.



Mamoru stared at the sheet in his hand, a letter he had written Usagi. "I wonder if she'll answer it." He murmured. "I never got or answered any of her letters." He sighed. "But Usagi isn't me, and I know she still loves me."

"I'm still trying to figure out how you could have dropped your pants for Rei." A voice behind said scornfully.

Mamoru turned and groaned. "Not you again."

Setsuna smiled gently. "Good to see you too."

"Why are you here this time?"

"I just wanted to tell you that Usagi's plane landed safely in Halifax and she's searching for the school representative now. She's very scared and alone." Setsuna explained. "But she has made a decision regarding your relationship that I think you should know about."

Mamoru's eyes lit up. "Yes Setsuna, tell me what it is. Please."

"Granted she's still hurt and betrayed, but there is hope." Setsuna said, dragging it out. "She has forgiven you your indiscretions with Rei in a way that only a true love can. She has a large heart, and she loves you. She gave her heart to you and in time she will trust you again. The love has never wavered, except for recently when you deserved it."

"Yes?" Mamoru demanded.

"But she will see other men while she is gone. She has to find out who she is, and that means seeing others, being involved with others, and if she so chooses, sleeping with others. Se had wanted to save herself for you Mamoru, but you didn't wait for her. Are you prepared to accept the consequences of your actions?" Setsuna paused. "You know who you are. She gave you the space to find out who you were and the love to support you. Can you do as much for her?"

"I will do anything for her." Mamoru replied firmly. "If I have to wait for her, I will. I will go to her in a few months."

"You have shown you respect her wishes by remaining here, but I tell you now to follow her." Setsuna told him. "Go to Halifax where she is and stay hidden. Do not let her see you or know that you are there."

"Why?" Mamoru narrowed his eyes at her. "That will be torture, especially seeing her with other men."

"Part of your punishment for one," Setsuna sneered delicately. "And also to protect her. I have no doubts that the senshi can protect Usagi, but Rei and whatever force is driving her wants her dead and is planning a vendetta against her. Usagi is not expected to live out the year. Rei has embraced the darkness fully and is a dark flame. You would be a wild card, a fly in the mix, because everyone expects you stay here."

"I'll do it." He declared.

"Not so fast." Setsuna held up a hand. "If she has to transform and fight, you cannot help her. Tuxedo Kamen must not leave Japan."

"You mean I'll have to watch helpless while she fights and gets hurt?" Mamoru asked, incredulous. "You ask for too much."

"You will do this Mamoru. Usagi's opinion means the world to me, and to defy her like this worries me, as I have never disobeyed her. But I must think of her protection first. I will help you remain hidden and I will be in touch with you frequently." Setsuna told him in a hard voice.

Mamoru shut his eyes. To see her with other men! To be so close yet so far away would be exquisite torture! To see her date and kiss and touch other men would destroy him. "This will destroy me, seeing her with others."

"As I said, Queen Serenity thought it quite appropriate for your punishment. She's furious with you Mamoru, and Neo-Queen Serenity isn't much happier. Small Lady in the future is not who she once was, and your future self has currently gone into hiding from Neo-Queen Serenity's rage at your past self. Remember that all you do here is a memory being implanted into the minds of those in the future. Usagi has managed to change the future, but it is salvageable." She paused. "Small Lady will never be the same though. She changes as her mother changes and as you yourself change."

"Chibi Usa exists in the future?" Mamoru's eyes lit up. "And she's not a spoiled obnoxious, obsequious little brat?"

Setsuna nodded, regretting telling him already. "Yes. She's not who she was Mamoru. She has changed along with her mother."

"Then there is hope for Usako and myself."

"That is the only reason I told you Mamoru. To keep you hoping in your heart, though in the end the choice is hers. It always has been." Setsuna told him. "Now I have to go. My plane is stopped in midair, since I had to suspend time for this little jaunt. I will be in touch."

"I will be there in a few days." Mamoru vowed. "I owe you Setsuna."

"Just stop dreaming about me Mamoru." Setsuna replied. "Solaris my boyfriend is getting very upset."

"A man can't be held responsible for what he dreams about." Mamoru said angrily.

"Most men no, but you can and you are. Solaris wants to challenge you to a duel, so I suggest you get me out of your head and put Usagi back in there where she belongs." She said firmly.

Groaning in memory of his dreams of Usagi, his groin tightened as he clenched his fist. "This is going to be agony." He said aloud to his now- empty room.



Usagi stared wide-eyed at the airport. Who would have thought that such a small city would have such a huge airport. She clutched her carry on bag closer in a death grip, trembling with fear. She was here. All around her people spoke in a language she couldn't really understand. They spoke so rapidly, so loudly. They were so different here, not demure like her people, but outspoken and exuberant, the opposite of her culture. She had always longed to travel and have adventures, but now that she was here, she suddenly had an overwhelming urge for her mother. She saw a sign with her name written in Japanese and breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over and smiled at the woman standing there. "Konnichi wa." She said politely.

They woman smiled back at her. "Konnichi wa. Watashi no namae wa Adundra. Anata wo Tsukino Usagi desu?"

Usagi nodded. "Hai, Tsukino Usagi. Ju-roku san."

"Eigo wa ikimasho?" the woman asked gently.

"A little bit, but not very good." Usagi said slowly in English.

"That's what I'm here to help with." Adundra grinned. "I am the representative for Cole Harbour High school, and I must say that I am thrilled that you took our scholarship."

"I'm glad I did too. I've always wanted to travel." Usagi chuckled.

"What did your family think of you coming so far from home?" Adundra questioned.

Usagi's face fell. "I have no family, only my friends."

"No family? That's terrible. Do you have a boyfriend?" Adundra asked politely bringing her over to the baggage claim.

"Sort of." Usagi said wryly. "I caught him with one of my so called friends and now I'm not sure where we stand."

"Do you love him?" Adundra asked seriously, grabbing one of Usagi's bags.

"Forever." Usagi said honestly.

"Then if he's sorry and you both love each other, you can get through this. I did. I date man who I loved with my heart and soul and he went with another woman. We fought, we broke up, and eventually we worked through it. It's hard to trust, but you have to take a breath and take a moment and make up your mind before you lie, because once you do, love is different and everything changes. It gets easier every time you lie too, but you have to do what is best for you." Adundra revealed. "This way. It's about 30 mins back into the city."

"Oh I think I'll take him back eventually. Right now I want him to suffer a little first." She paused. "There was another who had caught my eye a year ago." Usagi smiled getting in the car, and stared at the trees on either side of the airport. "There are so many trees here!" she exclaimed. "We don't have much nature in Tokyo."

"Even though it smells of dead fish in the summer, Halifax is Canada's most beautiful city." Adundra revealed. "And everyone here is really nice. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Have you arranged accommodations? That was the one thing the school couldn't do."

"Yes," Usagi nodded. "Several of my friends decided to come and will be arriving later. I was going to meet them in the airport, but I left a message before we left that I'd like to meet you first. I told them I'd meet them at the hotel."

"Which hotel are you staying at?" Adundra asked, speeding up.

"The Holiday Inn by the MacDonald Bridge." Usagi replied.

"I know that area. Whatever you do don't walk around there late at night. It's dangerous." Adundra cautioned.

"Thank you for the warning." Usagi grinned. "I'm hoping to complete my studies here and eventually get a job." She smiled at the caution of danger. She was Sailor Moon!

"People here are very open and accepting of people from Japan. We have so many exchange and scholarship programs with Japan, that there are times when Japanese people rival Canadians!" Adundra laughed. "I'll take you on a drive through Cole Harbour and you can see the school. I should tell you that we have a bit of a rivalry with our sister school Auburn High, and sometimes the rivalry escalates into out and out fighting, so be prepared. The school itself is nice, just been repainted, and the teachers are excellent with good classes, but the students are an eclectic bunch."

"Is that a polite way of saying they're strange?" Usagi smiled.

"No, that's a polite way of saying they're insane." Adundra laughed. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but I have always believed that forewarned is forearmed."

"You don't wear uniforms here ne?" Usagi questioned, looking at the huge apartment complexes.

"No only the students at the Sacred Heart private academy wear uniforms. Will that be a problem?" Adundra asked.

"More strange than a problem." Usagi commented. "Tell me more of this city and the people." She frowned as she looked out the window. 'The darkness is here. HE is here; I'd know that aura anywhere. Jadeite has returned and this time he's after me. With Rei and Makoto turning to darkness, I am in danger here as well as in Tokyo. Looks like Sailor Moon won't get any vacation at all.' She sighed and turned her attention back to Adundra, hoping Haruka and the others would arrive soon. 'The Void has returned.'



Rei let out a shriek as her lover drew blood from his latest fetish in their love life. Since he had finally come to her, she hadn't had clothes on at all. He whispered into her ears and she agreed with his perverse pleasures and plans. She was the dark flame princess and the sailor senshi be damned. She cracked open her eyes to stare at him as he entered her once more. "Shouldn't we be planning on how to harm Usagi?" she moaned.

"I am Rei." He said in a smooth voice. "In the eternal sleep, I had little else to do." He said, speeding up his pace. "I thought of nothing but her."

"You are not thinking of her now?" she asked, concerned as he kneaded her breasts.

"How else could I stand touching you like this Flame?" he grinned. "But you get the pleasure, so my thoughts of her matter not." He paused. "You are good for nothing else."

"And it gives me more reason to want to kill her." Rei gasped, feeling her climax approaching.

"Precisely Flame. Just fear me, love me and do as I say, and power will be yours. I am searching for the ultimate crime with infinite victims and infinitesimal time and there'll be hell to pay one day." He grunted as Rei seized around him. "This act of copulation gives me strength. While you lie on your back and open your legs to me, my minions prepare our plans. I've acted in secret from the shadows for years. Beryl and Galaxia are gone and now the world will be mine, with the white moon princess dead. I have tracked her as we speak, and have made my presence there known."

Rei fell back on the ground panting. He always took her outside. "This is holy ground!" she had protested the first time.

"Now it is unholy ground, used for the most black of purposes." He had smoothly replied. She had never questioned him again. Yuuichirou and her grandfather had vanished one day, she could only assume he had taken them. He assured her they were alive and that was all that mattered.

Rolling over so he could take her again, she closed her eyes and pictured torturing Usagi. She pictured the blood and the pain. She had truly had no idea what she had been getting into when Jadeite had re- appeared, much stronger than he had been when Beryl had been alive, remembering that he was her lover from the Silver Millennium and that she had been prepared to turn Selenity over to him then. Now she would complete her vows. The act they performed gave him strength that he drew from her as it gave her pleasure. She loved him so, she'd soon sell her soul for him, all for vengeance on the white moon bitch who had taken it all from her. She allowed herself to heal from the double beating Usagi had given her and helped him plan retribution. "Usagi will pay for my humiliation. I will not stop until she dies by my hands." She swore. "No one beats me and lives!"



Makoto held Luna as she stared from the bushes at Rei and Jadeite. "This is ridiculous!" she snorted. "I want no part of this. They are both driven by a force darker than I could have imagined."

Luna could only nod and beseech Makoto with her eyes. "You think we should contact Usagi don't you?" Makoto asked the cat.

Luna nodded again. "I won't Luna! I won't apologize to her! I'm not sorry for what I did or said. She has to learn to stand on her own two feet sometime!" Makoto protested, lowering her voice lest Rei hear them. "She really is a tramp." She murmured.

Luna bit Makoto on the arm. "What? Are you sorry for what you did to Usagi?" Makoto sneered.

Luna shook her head. "I knew it. So why do you want to contact her? You want your voice back don't you?" Luna nodded. "But she won't give it back to you until you learn a lesson, and you haven't." Makoto pointed out. "What do we do?" she wailed.

"You serve me." Jadeite's voice broke into their conversation. He stood naked before them, while Rei lay unconscious on the ground. "I am finished with Flame for the moment, it was so easy to bring her to my side. She has always hated Usagi, in both lifetimes and has always wanted to kill her. I will give Flame her wish and sit her on high as the Dark Flame, just beneath Usagi and myself. There is a new darkness rising Makoto, the darkness that is the Void, and I am its herald. You cannot understand yet, but you will. Come with me Makoto." He held out a hand. "Let me have your body and you will sit with Rei with places of honour in the Void."

Makoto shook her head. "No. For the first time I'm seeing who you are. My mind is clear." She protested.

"Not for long." He replied. "I need the strength in you young women to regain my power. Rei is resting then I will take her again. I will take you now. Please fight me Makoto, I get stronger that way." He grinned. "I will get what I deserve, and the moon will turn red with blood as I slaughter the princess with Flame."

"Only if I can help too." Makoto murmured. "She deserves what she gets for stealing the senshi from us and using her mind tricks on them. Rei can kill her, but I want a go at her. She stole my friends from me."

"Of course girls. You will get what you want, and I will complete my plans." He smiled up to the sky. "A grudge that lasts a thousand years gets more poisonous as time goes on and I am lethal."

N…I originally stopped there, but I'm going to add a bit more as inspiration just struck!)

Ami glanced up from the tests she had been running. "No doubt about it Naru, you have a connection to fire that I've only ever seen in Rei. I am going assume you are the new Sailor Mars."

Naru squealed with excitement. "I can't believe it. How do you transform? What do I do?"

"Perhaps I can help with that." A smooth voice surrounded them. Naru's face went completely white as she turned slowly, as if in a daze.

"Nephrite?" she whispered. "But you're dead."

"I was." He affirmed, appearing before her. "I'm not fully alive though. Your love given without restraint brought me back from the abyss of hell that I had been prepared to jump into."

"I can't hug you?" Naru sniffled.

"I am back to help train you Sailor Senshi. Jadeite has returned and he is as twisted and sick as ever, if not more so. I have returned to fight him and to warn the Princess of the danger."

"She already knows." Ami said offhandedly. "Her powers have been growing. I've noticed the last few battles that she can sense the evil. She surpasses Rei when it comes to psychic things."

"But not psychosis." Naru muttered, unable to turn her eyes from Nephrite. "I can't believe you are actually here." She repeated. "I was so lost without you."

"You found love again." Nephrite smiled. "I approve of who you chose. He loves you Naru, and you can't hold on to me forever."

"I'll hold on to you for as long as I can." She smiled. She turned to Ami. "So now what?"

"We begin training you. Usagi has the henshin rod, so you can't transform," she began.

"Actually," Nephrite cut in. "Usagi left the henshin rod for Mars behind, in a place she knew I'd find it."

Naru's eyes widened. "She KNEW you were coming back?" she shrieked.

"She is the one who summoned me. She asked me to be your protector Naru. I do so out of love for you." Nephrite replied. "The danger is building, and you must be prepared to answer the call."



Haruka noticed Michiru gazing into her mirror. "What do you see Michi?" she asked gently.

Michiru raised her eyes to Haruka. "Usagi is in danger, terribly so." She whispered. "And Rei has turned to the Void."

"I thought the Void was banished." Haruka said quietly.

"Apparently they have returned." Michiru replied. "This blond man he has it in for Usagi, he wants her dead. He wants her blood and her soul."

Minako leaned over the seat. "That would be Jadeite." She commented. "I heard the other senshi talk about him before."

"He was Rei's former lover in the past." Haruka recalled. "A bit of a demented prig if you ask me. He was easily swayed by whatever cause caught his fancy."

"Indeed." Hotaru interjected. "Rei is not being controlled by him, for her soul is truly evil, but Makoto is. Makoto is fighting against what she knows is wrong. She wants vengeance on Usagi yes, but in the end she will not be able to kill her, for the bonds of friendship and loyalty are too deep."

"And Luna?" Artemis asked from the seat beside them.

Minako sighed looking at Artemis. At both their requests Usagi had made him human once more. "Have I told you how handsome you are?" she sighed.

Artemis blushed slightly. "I think that Luna will stay with Rei. She may have been loyal to Selenity, but she cares little for Usagi."

"I wish this plane would hurry up." Haruka griped. "I don't like leaving her alone like this. I can feel the darkness gather again, and the danger is great."

"We could….teleport…" Minako winked.

Haruka's eyes lit up, but Michiru stopped her. "Too risky and dangerous. This time we cannot use our disguises to hide behind, they know who we are here and now." She explained. "We must move carefully in this game, because Usagi's soul lies in the balance."



Well that's it for this chapter! No flames please! Please review and let me know what you think of it! What is Jadeite's true purpose for returning? Why does he hate Usagi so much? What is happening in Usagi's new home, and the most important question of all…which Senshi should Naru be? Depending on how many reviews I get and how many people want the next chapter, it will be up tomorrow. Solaris and Adundra are my characters and my creation, both used from other stories I've written which are originals. SHALL I ADD ANOTHER CHAPTER???

Ja ne!
