Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Shame ❯ Hope ( Chapter 2 )

Author's Notes: I'm dedicating this fic to Krys-imouto. Her Digimon/Sailor Moon crossover, The Right Kind of Wrong, is giving me the inspiration to write it.

Takeru was happy to spend sometime with his niichan again. It had been so long. Right now, they were in a cd store looking for the latest cd single. Of course the Teenage Wolves were in the top 5, but he had already heard their band a million times.

"Hey TK, isn't that Hikari-chan?" questioned Yamato

TK turned towards the direction his niichan was looking, and he saw Hikari, Usagi and Hikari's mom all shopping. "Yeah. The blonde haired girl is Usagi. Koushiro already filled you in, ne?"

Yamato nodded. "Yeah, Koushiro gave us some of the details. So she's a princess, ne?"

TK nodded. "Yeah. Demo, she doesn't act very princess like" laughed TK as Usagi almost tripped.

"Yeah…Demo, she is. That means you guys will have to keep a close watch on her. Just in case the person who killed her before returns" said Yamato

"Hai. We'll protect her"

"Oh, by the way, where is Patamon?" questioned Yamato

"I left him with Daisuke. Him and Veemon get along together pretty well" answered TK

"If only you and Daisuke could be like that, ne?"

TK nodded. "If only. Demo, our relationship is like you and Taichi-san's. We have our occasional fight, and we also have our occasional moments as friends"

Yamato nodded in agreement. Demo, if only TK knew the truth about Tai and I.

"I haven't done that much shopping in ages" sighed Usagi as she plopped down on the bed, dropping her bags.

Hikari giggled. "Well, you needed a lot of stuff. Demo, now you know the city a little more, and now you can walk around without a guide"

Usagi smiled. "Arigatou"

Hikari blushed. "It was nothing. It was mainly my kaasan, and tousan's credit card. Man, won't he be surprised when he gets his month's bill"

Usagi giggled. I haven't felt this good around anyone before. Except…the sailor senshi…

Tears appeared in Usagi's eyes again.

"Daijobu ka?" asked Hikari, her voice full of concern. She handed a tissue to Usagi. Usagi quietly accepted it.

"I miss them Hikari-chan. My senshi. Ami-chan, Rei-chan, Mako-chan and Minako-chan. They did protecting me. Me. I'm so worthless. I wasn't even worth protecting. Why did kaasan bring me back to life? Doushite?! I don't deserve it! I could have helped my friends. I really could have" sobbed Usagi

Hikari hugged Usagi. "Iie. You are worth it. Your friends thought so, and I think so too"

"Hikari-chan…"

"Usagi-chan, it's not good to keep things bottled up inside. If you need a shoulder to cry on. I'm here"

Usagi nodded, and stayed in the embrace of her new friend.

"The scene's keep replaying in my head…" she whispered to herself.

"Usagi…?"

Usagi looked behind herself, and smiled. "Hello Takeru-san"

"TK is just fine"

Usagi nodded. "Would you like to sit with me, TK?"

TK nodded and sat next to Usagi on the park bench, and watched the sunset go down. "Why are you out so late?"

Usagi shrugged. "I don't know…"

"Is it because you miss your friends?"

Usagi's expression softened. TK immediately regretted his question. "Gomen Usagi-san"

"Usagi-chan" she corrected him.

A moment of silence passed, and then Usagi spoke. "I guess I should tell you what happened to me. Let me start at the begginning. I know this will sound crazy, so don't interrupt"

Usagi revieled her world to TK. About how she first became Sailor Moon, and then died in the final fight with Queen Beryl.

"What made you fight?" questioned TK. His face had a serious expression. Usagi was confused slightly. "So many people die. So why fight when you know there will be sacrifices?"

"Because I hoped for a better future" she answered.

"Hope. I am the keeper of hope, and I don't have an ounce of hope in my system. I never am able to see the good, or try to tough it out. Like Daisuke. Hope…what's the point?"

"TK, you can't talk like that. Hope is an important aspect of life. Without hope, I would not have been able to fight all those battles. My friends gave me hope. The hope that there will be a better future with peace, an without fighting"

"Usagi…"

"TK, I'm not sure why, demo, I can feel better when I'm around you. I mean, you give me the hope to be able to return to my world, and the hope that my friends are alive as well," said Usagi

TK was taken aback. He actually gave hope to someone. But, he also realized something. One day, Usagi will return to her world, and he'd never see her again. He didn't want that.
