Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Trapped ❯ Chapter 8

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
InvincibleInuYasha: Ok, I have a lot of things to say. First off, I'm not sure what to do with this fic. Whether it is a long or short fic, I have yet to decide. Also, I am testing a lot in the next month, so I'll be studying a lot. I will be writing a lot, but you're going to have to wait for summer vacation. Oh crap, but I'll be gone from July 5 to 26 on a vacation. And I may or may not go to Missouri to see my brother at the base. So, I'm really sorry you guys. But here'as a treat! I drew a really cute pic of Skyler and Marcos the other day. Well, I think it's cute, but it's not really cute, more like creepy, lol. Anyway, I'm hoping to figure out how to post it so everybody can see it! I don't have any cool programs or anything to make my drawings awesome, so it's all in colored pencil. And scanning it makes it look kinda ugly. O well, I'm rambling. I'm just going to write now!

Disclaimer: I'm going to a con in June and I didn't get the costume yet because the materials cost too much. Do you think I could possibly own Sailor Moon?


Trapped

Chapter Eight


It was one week since the whole ordeal. Marcos sat beside a bed, holding onto a pale, ghostly hand. He whispered, "M-mother. I'm sorry. In the future, neither you nor Father had told me anything about what you had to endure in the past. I don't understand how you could possibly be like you are in the future after what had happened. After those that you knew and loved were hurt and killed in such a harsh way, and one by your own son's hand. I'm sorry. I only know you in the future. I thought you would be more like the mother I know there, even after this, but I was mistaken. You had to suffer so much. I-I am sorry. Please, I don't think you can for what I have done, but would you please forgive me?"

Usagi didn't look at him. She couldn't. She couldn't believe that this boy was her future son. She didn't understand why he was so upset over her. But he didn't understand what he had done until it was too late to stop it. Even so, Usagi could not look at him. He had killed Sailor Mars in a way that made her suffer extremely. She had fought to her last breath in hopes of protecting her, but her efforts were in vain. Marcos had shown more expression on his face than before. He was concerned and upset and guilty.

He muttered, "If you cannot forgive me, I understand. I committed an unforgivable mortal sin. I deserve nothing, not even the slightest bit of forgiveness." He got up and left the room.

Usagi waited until the footsteps had become inaudible. Then, she had burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Marcos' words had taken such a strong affect on her. She did not know what she would be like in the future, but Marcos had been convinced that she led a happy life. How was this possible? How could she live happily with this man and this boy, the one's who killed her friends? It was simply impossible. This boy didn't know what he was talking about.

Skyler was in his study. Bookshelves lined three of the walls, and beside the fourth was a large desk. Skyler sat behind it and grumbled in frustration. His future self had described the scene to him when he had met him. None of this was supposed to happen. Yes, the killing of the Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen was supposed to happen, but the girl was not supposed to be this way. She barely ate or spoke. She cried often and kept everything and everyone at a distance. Skyler cursed under his breath. If the future he saw wouldn't work out, he wouldn't know what to do. He had also seen his future without Sailor Moon or the Ginzuishou. He refused to accept such a fate.

A knock on the door sent Skyler out of his thoughts, "Oh, Marcos, it's you. Come in." Marcos entered the room, a grave expression on his face. Skyler asked, "What is troubling you? Is it your Mother?" Marcos looked up at him, "Y-yes. Sh-she cannot forgive me for what I have done." Skyler leaned back in his chair and layed his arms on the arm rests, "Marcos. She is just upset. In time, she will recover. It is nothing to worry about." Marcos cried, "When?! When will she get better?! I killed her friend! No amount of repentance will make Mother forgive me!" He dropped his head and let out a muffled sob.

Skyler cursed under his breath and went to his future son, kneeling before him, "She might not forgive you, but nothing will stop her from loving you when you are born. All of this will be forgotten and she will start a new life with you as her child. That is why your mother is like that in your time. Because of you. As for now, you should not expect her happiness. It will not come for some time." Marcos looked up at him, the tears stopping, "Yes, Father."

He got up and left the room. Skyler got up and left as well, heading for Usagi's new room.

Makoto ran into the hospital room, a newpaper in her hand, and tears flowing from her eyes, "Minako-chan!" Minako looked up from her bad, careful not to diturb her broken neck, "Mako-chan? What's wrong?" Makoto handed the folded back newspaper to her. Minako looked at the page, her eyes glowing with horror and remorse. The paper read, with pictures of each above a small article:

MISSING-
-Usagi Tsukino- 14 years old, blonde-hair in pigtails, blue eyes. Last seen 6 weeks ago at the Crown Arcade.
-Rei Hino- 14 years old, long dark brown hair, brown eyes. Last seen 6 weeks ago at the Crown Arcade.
-Mamoru Chiba- 20 years old, short black hair dark eyes. Last seen 9 days ago near the apartment complex by Azabu University.
-Usagi (Chibi-Usa) Tsukino- 5(?) years old, pink hair in pigtails, dark pink eyes. Last seen 9 days ago near the apartment complex in Juuban
-Ami Mizuno- 14 years old, short blue hair, blue eyes. Last seen 9 days ago near the Mizuno Manor apartment complex.
*Any information regarding these missing people should be reported to the authorities immediately. Reward.*

Minako lowered the paper, "S-so... Mamoru-san didn't come back?" Makoto shook her head, "N-no. Neither did Ami-chan or Chibi-Usa. Do you think they're..." Minako sighed, trying to keep her tears in, "I don't know... We can only hope they're okay." Makoto lowered herself in the chair beside the bed, "Oh God, I really do hope they are." Minako said, "There's not much we can do. If all of the others, including Tuxedo Kamen and Chibi-Moon weren't able to stop him, I doubt we could stop Skyler."

Makoto asked, "What are you saying? That we should just give up on them?!" Minako said, "Not exactly. We'll protect the city from any youma or enemies. Our job is to protect the city anyway. As for defending the leader... we might be too late. But we'll keep our guard up and check around the area every night." Makoto sighed, "I don't know. Ven if we go with this, what will Luna say? She won't settle for it." Minako said, "We have no choice."

Usagi curled herself up in a tight ball, trying to shut out everything from herself. She tried not to hear or see anything. She wanted to scream, scream as loud as she could. The pain of loss was building up on her. She couldn't stand this dark place anymore. It was haunting her. She wanted to die, and she wanted to see her Mamoru and Chibi-Usa, and all of her friends.

Footsteps outside the room made her try to make herself smaller.the footsteps came closer and they became louder and faster. She screamed, "NO! Go away!!!" A hand touched her shoulder, "Your real name is Usagi, right? Or would you rather be called Sailor Moon?" Usagi flung her hand behind her and it met sharply with skin, creating a loud, smacking sound. The hand on her shoulder pulled, rolling her over to face Skyler, "Why did you do that?" Usagi muttered, "Don't touch me." Skyler smirked and walked back to the door, shutting and locking it. He came back to the bed and sat beside Usagi, "You know, Marcos really is your future son, believe it or not." Usagi didn't answer. Skyler continued, "I'm sure you know how a child comes to be..."

Usagi looked up at him in horror. Skyler's smirk grew, "Since Marcos is still here in this time and he hasn't vanished like the pink-haired girl, that means that his arrival is inevitable." Tears came to Usagi's eyes, "Why are you doing this to me?" Skyler said, "Because you are everything I want. You are powerful, you are beautiful, and you can give me a child. After this, I will begin my rule of the country and move on to the world. With you by my side." Usagi cried, "No! The only life I will live is with my Mamoru, and with all of the Sailor Senshi in Crystal Tokyo! I will never live a life with the man and child who killed them!" Skyler said, "Well, that's too bad. Because you're going to have to." He grabbed her wrists and rolled her onto her back. He straddled her and said, "You're not getting away from me!"
