Hey everyone it's chapter nine and I hope
no one is bored. *JLaLa dodges a tomato*
Okay well anyways my thanks you for all
your compliments and complaints!
PG-13 or R
I don't own Sailormoon.
WARNING:
This story is way into the alternate reality point.
Be prepared for something very different. It starts
out with Rei but Usagi and Mamoru are in this story.
This fic is completely different and some of the
things you may read are for more mature readers so
I am warning you to stop reading this story if you
are not the appropriate age or maturity for it. This
will contain some sexual content but it is NOT a lemon.
Ages may be different among other things.
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

"How could you not tell us?!", Mamoru demanded and stood up. "I mean
the guy RAPED you! You were pregnant with his child Rei!" Usagi put
an arm around her quietly and glared at Mamoru.
"Let her be", Usagi said though the look of unhappiness was in her
eyes. "She did what she had to do" Rei sat quietly sobbing to herself.
The release of her story made her free but at the same time kept her
from being happy. Rei looked up at him with her tired, sad eyes.
"I'm so sorry Mamoru", Rei cried. "I wanted you to love me so bad and
I didn't want you to be unhappy with the sister you got"
"I never will be unhappy about the person you are...no matter what",
He whispered in her ear as he suddenly held her. Mamoru stood up
quickly and walked out the door. They heard the door slam. Usagi
and Rei's eyes met in a melancholy gaze.
"Don't expect him to get over this Rei"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuuichirou held Rei as he himself felt the tears on his face. Rei
felt them too as they fell onto her hair like dew. She leaned against
his chest listening to his heart and the silence between them. It was
deafening. That silence that she hated. It reminded her of the day
she aborted her baby. She had found out that the baby was a girl and
they had given her the choice once more. She could've kept it...her.
Then there was a silence.
And she refused the offer.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you...I-I just couldn't...I just
couldn't", She said as tears filled her eyes again. A depression
had fallen over her the past few days. It had caught up with her.
"No Rei, I love you, I'm here and you told me your story...and I
STILL love you", He said. "Who else would yell at me like you do?"
Rei sat up and blinked. Her face emotionless and suddenly breaking
into a small, fragile smile.
She laughed softly.
"You right. Who would yell at you like I would?", Rei answered but
then the light left her face again. Her eyes filled. "I feel so
guilty"
"No, you did what you thought was right", Yuuichirou told her. He
caressed her hair. "Forgive yourself" She looked up at him and her
eyes were hard. He winced afraid of them for a moment. Rei shook
her head.
"I will never forgive myself" Closing her eyes Rei threw her slender
arms around his neck as she kissed him passionately trying to forget.
Yuuichirou in surprise did the only thing he could: he kissed her
back.
************************************************************************
Rei scrambled from her slumber as she proceeded to put on shoes quietly.
There next to her laid Yuuichirou asleep with a blanket coverting his
nude back. She smiled to herself as she put on her jacket. For some
reason Rei had the urge to say something so unlike her.
Putting another blanket him she kissed the side of his head. How sweet
he looked. Putting her mouth to his ear she whispered something so
quietly even she struggled to hear herself.
"I love you"
And with that Rei left Yuuichirou to his sweet dreams of love and
other things that were far more complicated in real life.
************************************************************************
The phone rang. Usagi bounced Tamlyn against her hip grumbling as she
picked it up. The day had been humid and Tamlyn had been and crying
and crying....It was not her day. "Hello?"
"Usa?"
"...Momma?", Usagi whispered and tears came to her eyes. She pushed
Tamlyn up against and struggled to balance the phone. "How are you?"
"I'm on a payphone in the park", Ikuko said to her in a small voice.
"I'm ready to talk to you, can you come...with the baby?"
"Yeah, of course, I'll be there in ten minutes" Usagi hung up and
rushed about quickly. She dressed quickly in a pair of black pants
with suspenders and a white button down shirt. Just a quickly she
dressed Tamlyn in a pair of yellow pants and white shirt with a
little chick on it. In minutes flat they rushed out the door as
the sun was beginning to set and arrived in the park with about
a minute to spare. There they spotted a middle aged women with
long dark blue hair sitting on a bench.
She stood up. Ikuko's eyes moved from Usagi to Tamlyn.
"Oh Usa, you've grown so beautifully and the baby...she's so
beautiful", Ikuko said in tears holding her arms out so Usagi
could rushed into them. "Oh my baby, my little girl, I've missed
you" Usagi let her own tears fall sobbing like a child on her
mother's bosom. They drew apart and Ikuko looked at the pair.
"What's her name?" The baby laughed and Ikuko gently took the
baby to cradle and kiss it.
"Tamlyn, I-I was going to send you pictures but I wasn't sure you
wanted them", Usagi's voice quivered. "I missed you so much" Ikuko's
eyes filled with tears. "She looked more like her father...Mamoru"
"Usa, I want to know how this happened", Ikuko said as the two sat.
Usagi recollected the story of her meeting with Mamoru, their
unexpected liason and him taking her in. For a moment her mother
sat quietly and she was quiet. "He must love you very much"
"No, we're together for Tamlyn", Usagi said quietly.
"No, no he loves you very much Usagi, I can tell", Ikuko said as her
face stood sadly. Her lip quivered. "I had that once with your father,
I loved him very much" Tears fell. "I wish I was with him"
"Mom, what are you saying?", Usagi asked alarmed. Her mother had never
said anything like that and it scared her."You can have that love
again, just leave Kabuo. He's not right for you, he never was" Her
mother was crying in earnest. "He hurts you and the other children,
please leave before he kills one of them"
"He's all I've known", Her mother cried. "How will me and the children
survived with no one to provide for us?"
"Stay with me and Mamoru, Yuuichirou will help, once you're on your
feet with a job you can find a new house to live in", Usagi urged.
"Your life is not over yet, there's so much more to know" Ikuko
looked at her daughter lovingly and remembered Kenji, how alike
they were.
Ikuko never felt so proud.
Standing up Ikuko felt stronger than ever. She could leave and she
had her Usagi to help. Kissing her daughter on the forehead Ikuko
prepared to leave. "You don't know how proud you made me"
Three days later Ikuko was dead.
************************************************************************
"Whaaa?", Usagi mumbled as the phone rang beside her. Mamoru next to
her sat up and rushed to check on Tamlyn who was crying. Usagi picked
up quickly, irratated. "Hello?"
"Usa, it's me Yuuichirou", Her brother said on the line. "Something
happened to momma" She sat up suddenly and her chest began to pound
in nervousness. "There was an accident" Yuuichirou sounded bitter.
"What kind of accident?!", She asked as Mamoru walked into the room.
Their eyes met and he sat next to her.
"One with Kabuo", He answered sadly and the tears began to fill her
eyes. It was bad, she knew it.
"I'll be right there"
************************************************************************
Approaching the door Usagi walked into the room and saw that
Yuuichirou sat there holding her mother's hand. She looked as if
she was asleep though her face was heavily battered.
"Oh God" Her face scrunched as she began to sobbed violently. Sitting
she took her mother's hand. "What happened?" Usagi let her tears fall
as she kissed her mother's small hand.
"Kabuo was beating Jiro and mom tried to help...so he turned to her.
She kept on blocking Jiro from him and Kabuo he kept on hitting and
hitting her until she would get away. But she never stopped protecting
Jiro..." Yuuichirou's lips trembled. "They want us to make a decision"
"What decision?", She asked him.
"Mom's heart is still beating but they say she's never going to wake
up", Yuuichirou said. "The doctors said that the brain damage is too
advanced for her to ever get better...and that perhaps we should turn
off the machines" He began to cry. "I don't know if I could do it, I
can't let her leave us" Usagi looked at her mother, her face look so
young, so peaceful and she swore there was a smile on that sweet face.
'I wish I was with him'
The voice was like a whisper, almost like the wind. Usagi saw a
picture before her, one of her mother and father in their wedding
picture. Her mother's smile, it looked like the one she had on her
face at the moment.
She understood.
She went to get the doctor.
************************************************************************
Holding the clipboard Usagi shakily signed her consent on the paper
on it. Everyone stood in the room, her brothers and sisters, Mamoru,
Rei and even the baby. Handing the clipboard to Yuuichirou, he in
tears signed it also.
The children had said their goodbyes so had Yuuichirou, Usagi was the
only one left. Approaching her mother she held her hand and squeezed
it.
"Up there he's waiting for you", Usagi whispered and a tear fell from
her eye. She swallowed the lump in her throat though somehow it came
out chokingly. It was each movement hurt and as much as she knew her
mother was happy it hurt like a thousand knives in her heart. "I
knew...I knew how unhappy you were and now you'll be with papa,
grandma and grandpa...and Tamlyn, Mamoru and Rei's mom" Usagi let
her face fall into a tight smile but it quickly gave way as her tears
descended.
"T-Tell them all hello"
The mournful family gathered in an embrace.
The heart monitor signal it's demise.
Usagi got out of their grasp and slowly put a white sheet over her
mother.
It was over.
***********************************************************************
"Mamoru, she has to eat", Rei chided her brother as she held a tray.
They had buried Ikuko that morning and after the funeral Usagi
retreated to her room. She did not eat, she did not talk nor did
she cry. She spent her day only holding Tamlyn as she slept. "I'm
afraid for her ever since last week she's been like this" Usagi's
siblings had all moved into the house. They at the moment were all
asleep in the living room on a old couchbed Mamoru had purchased.
Except for Hatsue who slept in her own small little mattress on the
floor, she had begun to wet the bed again.
"I've tried, God knows I have but she won't talk to me", Mamoru said
sadly. Usagi would not even look at him as they slept in each others
arms. Her eyes would remain downcast and a sad shade of blue her
pretty eyes were. "But...I should try again"
Peering into the room he saw that Usagi was sitting on the edge
of her bed humming a tune he recgonize as a lullaby that Ikuko
sang to Usagi. She had come undone, an array of sadness to him like a
crumbling rainbow. Her hair was spread over the floor for she had
undone and her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she rocked back
and forth.
"Usa...please talk to me or eat something", He pleaded as he felt his
own eyes burn and as she rocked he took her into his arms rocking with
her. Mamoru felt her softened and a small whimper came from the small
bundle of blonde. "God knows I'm crazy for you, please be okay"
He was crazy for her but he did not LOVE her.
Usagi began to sob falling into his embrace and he stroke her hair.
Kissing her lips he began to caress her letting passion for her take
over. At the same time however it felt as if he trying to heal himself
instead of her. Mamoru began to kiss her shoulder and her small ivory
neck.
"Mamoru-STOP!"
She pushed him away. "You can't do this to me anymore" Mamoru looked
at her in confusion. "I have given you everything, my body, my soul
and even...my heart Mamoru" Usagi stood up to get away from him.
"I thought you wanted a no strings attach relationship", Mamoru
retorted.
"I was WRONG. You can't control your heart, we were STUPID to think
we could. I love you, I've loved you since the moment I laid eyes on
you", Usagi said as her began to water. "I was an idiot to think you
could love me, I slept in your arms thinking that somehow this mockery
of a relationship would work but I want love. I want you. I want you
to marry me. Most of all, I want you to love me the way that I love
you and not feel afraid of it" Usagi felt as if she were shaking from
everywhere inside of her.
"But I know it will never happen...I'm leaving Tokyo with Tamlyn...
We're leaving you"
************************************************************************
"Mamoru this can't be happening", Rei cried as they sat at the kitchen
table. Usagi had long fallen asleep and lock the door so Mamoru
couldn't come in. She had avoided him along with his questions and
pleas.
He did not know why he was letting happen. But he couldn't do it. He
just couldn't. But the question that plagued him the most was:
Why was it that he couldn't do?
"Yuuichirou and the kids are going to sell the house and with the
inheritance money they're going to buy a new place", Mamoru said
in an undetached tone. "They'll be moving out in about a week"
"We need her", Rei said sadly and caressed her stomach. "The thing
that you don't understand is that I need her because...I'm pregnant"
