Disclaimer: These are not my characters by any means. However the baby when she is born will be. I am just barrowing these characters for my story.
.:.:.:.
“Come on pretty boy, if you don’t hurry we wont be able to meet your classmate because he will already be gone.” Jadeite yelled into Zoisite’s room as he waited out in the hallway. Nephrite walked out of his own room to see what all the commotion was about and try sorting it out if the need arose. Just then, Zoisite stepped out of his room and closed the door behind him.
“Where are you two off too?” Nephrite inquired as he stood in the doorway of his room.
“Cold Fusion Nephrite, we are meeting some of my class mates there.” Zoisite filled in the blanks as he and Jadeite moved down the hallway towards the door. Nephrite told them to be careful as they stepped out the entrance.
“Well I am all alone now, might as well enjoy it while it lasts.” Nephrite said out loud, as he went back into his room to read.
Kunzite had left sometime after supper, not saying where he was going, only saying he was going out.
~*~
“Usagi, this is not such a good idea. That place is going to be crowded and people will likely be shoving each other in different directions and such.” Mamoru tried to point out to his wife as she put on light make up at her vanity.
“I want to try this place, Mamo-chan. Just stop treating me like a rare statue teetering on a pedestal and let me enjoy the rest of my summer break. We only have a week left of it to go.” Usagi looked Mamoru in the eye and pleaded with him. The girls and she wanted to try this club called ‘Cold Fusion.’
“Fine, but be careful not to get hit in the stomach.” Mamoru relented as he walked over and kissed his wife on the top of her golden head. There moment was interrupted by a knock at the door.
“That has to be Mako-chan. Go answer the door while I get my purse and slip on my shoes.” Usagi got up and went to find her shoes as Mamoru answered the door.
Sure enough, it was Makoto. “Hello Mako-chan, how are you feeling?” Mamoru inquired as he let the tall girl glide thru the doorway of his apartment. Makoto made a face as she crossed the threshold.
“When is everyone going to quit asking me that? I just had a moment where I felt a little faint and passed out. Nothing is wrong with me, it was just one of those freak incidents.”
Makoto was frustrated with her friends, for they kept asking her if she was all right. Mamoru held up his hands in a gesture of truce. That was when Usagi made her appearance from the bedroom, purse in hand. She looked from her husband to her friend with a raised eyebrow.
“Do I even want to know what you two were talking about?” Usagi asked as she stood there summing up the situation.
“Mamoru, like everyone else, was nagging me about whether or not I am feeling well.” Makoto answered as Mamoru laughed.
Usagi laughed, waving both of them towards the door . She did not want to be late and have Rei have a go at her. She was feeling a little uneven as far as her emotions went and would probably cry if Rei yelled at her tonight.
“Bye Mamo-chan, we will see you later.” Usagi kissed her husband goodbye and left with her friend.
~*~
Across the street from Usagi and Mamoru’s apartment building stood a tall shadowy figure. He watched Usagi and Makoto as they emerged from the front doors of the building and get into a big green SUV. He watched as Makoto started up her four runners and pulled out of her parking spot curbside and take off down the road. Standing there motionless for a moment or two, aware his prince was now alone, Kunzite made a fateful decision that might spell the end for the reborn Shitennou. However, their prince deserved to know they were back. With that thought on his mind, Kunzite disentangled himself from the shadows and crossed the street towards the apartment building. He looked at the atrium, taking in his surroundings, feeling a little conspicuous as he stepped into the elevators and pushed the up button. Setsuna told them they were on the fourth floor in apartment ‘22D’. The doors slid open and he stepped quickly inside, finding himself encased by four metallic walls that made him feel a little claustrophobic as the steel cage ascended.
~*~
Kunzite, getting his bearings, moved casually down the hall until he found his quarry. He stopped. Pausing for a moment, testing his nerve, Kunzite raised a closed fist, and in quick succession, brought it down in three quick knocks and waited. Slowly, as if an eternity had passed him by, the door opened to reveal the face of Mamoru. His eyes opened in shock as he stood in his doorway staring at the Leader of his dead Shitennou.
Gathering his nerve, Kunzite bowed. “My prince…”
~*~
“Hey Tom, how are you, man?” Zoicite questioned as he slapped his classmate on the back.
“Nothing much, Zoi, just listening to music and getting drunk… Dave here, is married and trying to pretend he’s not.”
Everyone laughed at Dave’s expense, but it was all in fun. Jad made his way towards Zoicite and Thomas and ordered a beer.
“How much do you want to bet that Jed is drunk in an hour’s time? He thinks he can hold his booze, but he really can’t,” Zoicite said, loud enough for Jadeite to hear and punch him on the upper arm. Everyone laughed and ordered their drinks as they soaked in the atmosphere of the dark dance club.
~*~
“So, you are trying to tell me that because of my desire to have you back with me in the flesh and have your companionship once again, my future self, and Usagi’s future self, and Sailor Pluto took the stones from my drawer and brought you back to life?” Mamoru asked, trying to understand what Kunzite was telling him.
“Yes, my prince.”
“Mamoru please, Kunzite. You are my oldest friend and I am no longer prince.” Mamoru told his friend.
“Yes…, Mamoru.” Kunzite said hesitantly, testing out the name. It was hard for him not to call Mamoru his prince. He still believed him to be the prince of Earth and Usagi princess of the moon.
“Well, how are you then?” Mamoru asked, trying to strike up a conversation with Kunzite.
“Life is life. Jadeite has not changed in the least. He and Zoisite are currently attending college, Jadeite for game design, and Zoicite is studying business management. Nephrite works at the Observatory…”
“Did Makoto see him there? Is that the reason she passed out?”
“Yes, you could say that, she definitely saw him there and instantly got her memories back. She must have remembered something pretty painful, as it caused her to pass out. He went with her to the hospital. I can tell by the look on your face she did not tell you she saw him. Well, she was instructed by Setsuna not to tell anyone. She wanted the girls to find out on their own. But I felt that you should know we are alive.”
“Yes, according to Usagi, Minako thought she saw you, but assumed you were a phantom or ghost,” Mamoru tried to explain.
“That’s right, she reacted strangely after seeing me in the park a few weeks ago.”
“So then, they all saw you die so I can see where she would get the idea you were a ghost. So what made you show yourself to her anyways?” Mamoru asked.
“I haven't been able to sleep all that well for quite a while now, so I go out and walk around town . I happened to see her and the compulsion to see her again up close overwhelmed me. I know it was a mistake, but I had to see her. When I go for a walk, I always end up at her house watching her window.”
“So, basically you have been stalking her,” Mamoru summarized.
“Yes…, that is essentially the truth of it,” Kunzite agreed.
“So, how about you…, what are you doing?” Mamoru prodded, wondering as to why Kunzite did not mention what he had been up to of late.
“I would rather not say. My adoptive family -- as we have come to know them -- Neo Queen Serenity and your future self, gave us these relatives when we were reborn. just let’s say, it has not exactly been a picnic. I have a hard-ass for a so-called “father”. I got roped into becoming VP for his company and every moment is hell. But that is neither here nor there.” Kunzite’s tone suggested that this was not a subject to be talked about.
“Okay, well you should be the first of the guys to know Usa is almost four months pregnant. She has about two more weeks to go.” Mamoru offered that little tidbit of information to help lighten the dark mood that had settled over the conversation and visit as a whole.
“Really, that is good news,” Kunzite said in his usual serious voice. Kunzite was not one to express too much emotion.
“I know at only seventeen she is a little young, but after the final battle we decided to get married and the baby just happened. But we are really excited. In about six weeks, her mother is throwing her a baby shower. It’s been hard keeping her from buying everything that is needed for the baby before people have an opportunity to purchase gifts for her. Her mother really wants to throw this party for her.”
“That sounds like a typical girl, always having to have parties.”
~*~
The nightclub was as dark as night with the exception of colorful spheres of light that easily caught the eye. They entered. Upon the black tiled floor, a constellation of embedded miniature lights were scattered across its reflective ebony surface, and these sparkled continuously. Translucent star-shaped lights were embedded in the ceiling overhead, these poured streams of color upon all the dancers. A line of Booths flanked the dance floor and ran the length of the wall at the rear. Tables were scattered about the bar, these arcing their way around the dance floor, disappearing into darkness.
The girl’s bodies moved in a wash of dazzling colors resulting from the pulsating strobe lights, creating a sea of dancing silhouettes.
“Usagi, are you sure about this? There are a lot of people here bumping into each other,” Ami asked anxiously as they passed through the doorway into the club.
Usagi looked about ready to explode, her petite frame wound as tight as a watch or coiled serpent about to strike. She stewed for a few seconds longer before unleashing her pent-up fury. “Will you guys just stop it, I am not made of glass, you know. I will not break as you and Mamoru think I will. Back off and let me enjoy myself for once. Between being pregnant -- the needless studying and school, I have had it. So hear me now and shut the hell up.”
Usagi, after saying her piece, walked away from her friends. Rei was hot on her tail when she suddenly grabbed Usagi’s arm and stopped her. She then heard Rei’s sharp intake of breath and spun around.
“What is it, Rei?” Usagi asked, cooling down a little, noticing Rei looking towards the bar. She was trying to see what Rei was looking at when Rei suddenly let go and started off towards the bar with the girls in tow. Usagi looked and saw two blondes in Rei’s line of vision. She could not see their faces, but the profiles looked familiar to her.
Finally, reaching the bar, Rei gripped the blond haired male with the short hair and spun him around. “Jadeite” Rei hissed out through clenched teeth.
Jadeite, a little drunk, looked at her arching an inquisitive eyebrow and smiled.
.::. Rei’s memory flash .::.
“Serenity, where the hell are you…?” Rei shouted through the forest where she had tracked her princess. She was dressed in her fine red dress befitting her status a princess as she ran through the forest snagging it on branches and thorn along the way. She was coming to the edge of a clearing when she saw a man walking with a horse on a lead staring at her.
“Missing little girl?” Jadeite said as he looked over the lovely black-haired fiery looking woman.
“No, I am looking for someone, and you can mind your own business, stranger,” Rei shot back as she started to move towards the edge of the forest.
Jadeite ,however had other ideas as he stepped in her way. Rei gave him her coldest look as she tried to move to the side. He raised his hand and cut off her escape route. “Earthling, if you ever touch me again, you will regret it,” Rei hissed as she shoved Jadeite aside and moved past him.
.::. End of memory flash .::.
“Well, well…, if it isn’t my little fire brand. What honey, you want some. As I recall, you loved all the lovemaking fun we had in the fields. I’m sure we can go outside the city and have some fun like old times.” Jadeite smiled again.
Rei’s eyes narrowed and she raised her hand. Then all of a sudden as with their last encounter a long time ago, Jadeite fell off his stool and hit the floor. He started to cover up because Rei was not satisfied with just one blow. No, she decided he needed to have his ass beat. So she lunged at him and began hitting him and trying to get past his defenses. She kicked him in the stomach as an unexpected flash of light lit up the entire club. Instantly, the girls, Zoisite, and Jadeite found themselves feeling weightless in a void of nothingness. Then the abyss dissolved into a hazy cold dark mist. Usagi looked around her, and knew exactly where they were, the time gate. She thought to herself. She looked around and saw there were other figures moving about them. She continued surveying her surroundings and could see Rei continuing her assault on Jadeite. She watched as one of these figures rushed forward to help Jadeite. The mist’s parted to reveal Mamoru. He grabbed Rei and hauled her into his arms, restraining her.
“Calm down, Rei and I mean now,” Mamoru commanded as she struggled.
“If she refuses to calm down, you will have to use force, Mamoru,” Sailor Pluto said, stepping out of the nebulous confines of the impenetrable mists.
“What is going on, Setsuna? Why are we here at the time gate, and who are these other people with us?” Usagi fired off her questions in quick succession.
“Calm down please, Usagi all will be explained as soon as Rei regains control of herself, and it appears she has … Now someone check on Jadeite.” Sailor Pluto barked as Nephrite came forward and knelt by his fellow Shitennou.
Jadeite groaned as he attempted to stand up. He felt like he had broken ribs and a busted nose. But he hardly felt the pain due to the booze. “Now that you’ve gained some sembelance of self-control, it is time to explain everything. You see, Due to Mamoru’s desire to have his friends back, Neo queen Serenity and King Endymion had brought them back to life and gave them new lives. Yes, the Shitennou have been living among you for the last six months. You are at the time gate because it is time for all secrets to be revealed. To answer Usagi’s question, these other people you see around you are the Shitennou: Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Jadeite.
