Hello everyone! This 'little' story is dedicated to an amazing co-writer Jamie, or better known as jlbrew23. Even though I had this idea zumming around in my mind he was the one that brought it to life and 'inspired' me to write it! Thanks Jamie! I really hope you like it. I must give him credit for most of it, though! XD
And by the way, if you haven't read his stories, you should. They are great!
WARNING!: This story WILL have spanking. Ok…the anime had spanking, so if you like Sailor Moon, or even any Anime you really must not care about Corporal Punishment. Really, it's just that, a punishment! Differs to different methods and every person has a right to see it quite differently, but in Japanese culture is one of the most common punishments even for teens! Duh! Ok…I'm rambling now…sorry for that!
Disclaimer: I'm LATIN not Japanese…figure it out!
Go on and read and review pretty please!
Little Earth
I. Kai Chiba
He sat there, studying the slumbering form in front of him. The room was dark as night settled in even more. The only source of light was the moon high in the sky which could be seen through the French doors going out to the balcony.
He felt as if his eyes were deceiving him, though he wondered why things surprised him after all he had gone through the last four years. But, again, 'normal' people never went through the things he, Mamoru Chiba, had gone through.
He had believed for the last 3 almost four years that he knew everything about his future. Well, not everything, but at least great part of it. About four months after dating his current girlfriend, Usagi Tsukino, he had learned that she would be his future wife. No surprise there, he had known that. After all, just before that he had learned she had been his forbidden love about a thousand years before.
A little detail that surprised him was to learn that one day, he, ordinary technical student, Mamoru Chiba, had been 'royalty' in the past and would be 'king' in the future. Of course, meeting his future self had been quite a shock…and he had to admit he looked kind of nice to be more than a thousand years old…
But, the greatest surprise of all came in the pink haired body of a five year old that he had learned would be his and Usagi's daughter. When he had learned that he had gone crimson, not by the idea of having a daughter with Usagi but because of the idea of how he and Usagi had 'created' said child…or would create said child.
Now, though, he found himself studying the figure before him, remembering the past events of that afternoon which ended with that little character in his bed. When he thought that he had no more big surprises in his life, he once again learned that the future was something he would never get to know…not even when he WAS in the future as there was always a future ahead.
He had gone out with his beloved Usagi, or Usa-ko, when they had discovered they were not alone. Usagi Serenity, or Chibi-Usa, had been following them. Of course, Usagi had gone crazy.
Chibi-Usa had returned, again, to have a little train with the senchi. It had been quite the surprise as no one expected to see the little pink haired girl again, at least not until she was born. Of course, the now 10 year old had returned to the past and was now dedicating herself to do her future mother's life quite impossible to live.
Of course, he didn't mend between those two. In the future…that would be different, but, of course, he didn't think he would get between those two as well even when they would officially be his family.
After a couple of minutes of discussion between the 'cousins' they had amended things by eating some ice-cream. Once more, Mamoru found himself following the lead of his girlfriend and future daughter.
After having their little treat, the three of them had moved to the park. They had spent their time playing around, Usagi and Chibi-Usa doing silly things with one another and him enjoying the red roses around and also the sight…specially those of his company.
It was when they went to the dock when he received quite the chock.
"Mamo-chan?" Usagi said swiftly as they walked, hand by hand to the end of it. "This is where we first met Chibi-Usa, remember?" Usagi asked turning to look at him into his eyes.
"How could I forget?! I have you in my arms and out of the blue I find a child in them…not to mention it was quite of shocking how much she resembled you." He said with a chuckle.
"Yeah…that was…creepy." She ended laughing a bit herself.
"Where is she?" Mamoru asked suddenly looking around for such child. He had to admit, as much as she loved the child, it was not often that she let him and Usagi spend a bit of time together. Not if she could avoid it.
She immediately looked around trying to spot the pink haired child. "She's over there by the bushes…with someone." He looked towards where Usagi was pointing. Chibi-Usa was talking with a boy younger than her by the looks of it.
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi called as they approached both children. What made the couple get surprised was when Chibi-Usa gave a yelp of surprise and deliberately threw the other kid towards the bush before turning around with a nervous grin plastered on her face.
"Hai?!" She asked evidentially nervous.
"Who was your friend?" Usagi asked as she tried to look beyond the child. Mamoru though, was more curious about the grunting and grumbling coming from the bushes. He moved to help whomever it was pointedly ignoring the little quarrel between his two 'girls'.
Just as he prepared himself to push the bushes apart a boy jumped out of the bushes startling him a bit. He looked down as the kid grumbled and shook his dark black hair while he took some twigs and leaves out of his clothes and hair.
"Uh…are you ok?" he asked the boy who still hadn't looked up at him.
"I swear Candy Hair I'm gonna get ya for this!" the little boy said with a clenched fist. Mamoru ignored the little gesture or any other thing going around him. He just wanted to take a look at the boy. For a strange reason he felt as if he knew the kid from somewhere…but for much as he tried the kid wouldn't look at his eyes.
"Oh…suck it up brat!" Chibi-Usa snapped as she left Usagi ready to reiterate on their little spat.
"So you DO know that kid!" Usagi said triumphantly as she turned to look at the boy just to go wide eyed. "Ma-ma-mamo-chan!" She said after a while as the boy looked up at her just as Usagi started paling.
"Go home Kai!" Chibi-Usa half snapped, half ordered.
"Iie! Mama and Papa said I could be here!" The boy, Kai, said as he started searching for something in one of is pockets of the little sailor suit he was wearing. "See! They even sent a note!"
"No they didn't!" Chibi-Usa said suddenly jumping to take the letter out of the younger boy just as he yelped and tried to pock it away. "Give it to me!"
"Get off you baka!" The boy yelled as he waved his hand away from the older girl. "It's not yours to read! I'll tell on you!" He wailed.
It was then that Mamoru got a chance to look at the boy's face. He knew those eyes…he saw them every time he looked himself in a mirror. Looking at the boy, he saw himself in him…and that fact made his blood drench away from his face.
"Whom are ya gonna tell on me, baka?" Chibi-Usa stated. "Give it to me!"
"NO! Get OFF!!" The boy said leveling Usagi's wailing levels…something Mamoru had thought impossible to achieve, well, until he had met Chibi-Usa.
"Hmm..." Usagi said thoughtfully, looking at the now crumpled envelope. "What if I take it?" She asked taking the paper from the boy's hand emitting an immediate 'hey!' from both kids.
Mamoru just looked at the boy, studying him. By the looks of it the kid couldn't be more than 7, maybe 6. The boy seemed to be a carbon copy of himself, yet the way he pocked his tongue at Chibi-Usa reminded him of Usagi.
"Mamo-chan?" Usagi started looking up at him, "It's for us." She said giving him the letter and for a strange reason he knew what the letter said.
"See! I told ya it wasn't for you Candy Hair!" the boy said triumphantly. That seemed to click something in Chibi-Usa as she seemed ready to lounge herself against the boy once again just as the kid yelped in surprise and ran to hide behind Usagi.
Mamoru looked at the kids from the corner of his eye before studying the envelope once more.
Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba
Indeed, the letter was directed to them, though the envelope seemed to be printed. Tentatively opening it he found a simple white paper in it.
"Nani?!" Usagi cried peeking around. "That's your handwriting!" She said looking up at him to which he could only nod.
"Dear Usagi and Mamoru," Mamoru started ignoring the strange feeling he got at reading a letter with his own handwriting and directed to himself. "This must be a surprise for the both of you…and personally I've preferred for it to be a tad…different. As this letter is in your hands, you should have already met Kai Endymion. I have no doubt that you already know whom exactly he is. The reason of his presence in that time cannot be told, though I only ask you take much care of him as you do with Small Lady or Chibi-Usa.
M.C and U.C." Mamoru finished looking down at the boy who was looking up at him innocently and then at Chibi-Usa whom, despite the fact she was sulking, looked rather interested in the letter and the motive of her…brother…being there.
"M.C and U.C?" Usagi repeated dumbly.
"Mamoru Chiba and Usagi Chiba, Odango Atama!" Chibi-Usa snapped rolling her eyes.
"Ok…let's go…we need to speak about this with Luna and Artemis." Mamoru suddenly said, looking around not wanting to get unwanted attention.
It didn't took long for them to get to Mamoru's apartment. Thankfully, it wasn't as small as the one he had previously lived at. Both couches where taken by Minako, Ami and Usagi in one and Rei and Makoto in the other with Chibi-Usa seated on the armrest of it. Artemis and Luna had positioned themselves in the table with their future daughter, Diana, in the middle of them.
Mamoru had decided to lean against the sofa where Usagi was seated while Kai had decided to seat himself on Usagi's lap, who was melting herself at the site of a 'chibi Mamo-chan'.
"…and that's when we decided to call you." Mamoru finished telling the story as he glanced down at the grinning Kai as Usagi smothered him with hugs. He looked up to find a sulking Chibi-Usa clearly a bit jealous of the attention her brother was getting.
"He shouldn't be here." The pink haired girl muttered, though no one heard her except for him. Hearing this, he stood and discretely moved around until he was standing behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Startled, she looked up at him and he offered a small smile. His pay was given as she shyly smiled and leaned against him. Knowing his future daughter now had a bit of comfort he decided to hear what everyone was talking about.
"…must have had a good reason." Ami finished.
"I agree with Ami, though they must have said why." Luna stated looking at Usagi who was oblivious as she kept smothering the poor boy whom now looked ready to take off.
"Well, he's here. The question is where is he going to stay at?" Rei stated. "Oh, for goodness sake, Usagi! Leave the boy be! The poor thing is choking to death!"
"No, he's not!" Usagi yelled back for a moment forgetting said boy was in her arms and brusquely moving him to a side to fight with Rei.
"Yes he is! He's practically blue!" Rei said as a tongue fight ensued while Kai was being crushed beneath both women.
"Does this happen frequently in the future?" Makoto asked in a whisper at Chibi-Usa who was now grinning a bit as she nodded.
"Kind of." She answered, "I'm just glad I'm not in Kai's place this time."
"I think he should stay with Mamoru." Artemis stated taking the attention of the whole group.
"He's right." Luna stated.
"I've had thought about that before." Mamoru admitted.
"But…Mamo-chan, you've only got one bedroom." Usagi started, "Wouldn't he be better with me at my parents'?"
"No, he wouldn't." Ami started, "Kai is a carbon copy of Mamoru…he would never pass as a relative of yours, Usagi."
"She's right about that." Minako stated.
"But…why can HE stay with Mamo-chan and I can't?!" Chibi-Usa whined glaring at the smug looking boy.
"Cause I'm better than you." The boy answered pocking his tongue out.
"Because, Small Lady, you have to be with your mother…just as I have to be with mine." Diana answered. "Your Majesty," She started looking at Mamoru, "I think you can do some sleeping arrangements while being here…and I believe you can afterwards look for another apartment. I thought you were going to move in together just as her Majesty finished High School."
"Wow…she really is Luna's daughter." Minako stated blinking.
"That makes sense…you'll need the extra room anyway." Rei stated.
"That way Usagi will have her room when she moves in!" Chibi-Usa stated happily. Just before Minako started doing a low, creepy laugh.
"I don't think Usagi-chan will need her own room when she moves in." At that phrase Mamoru looked down at both his future children and couldn't avoid the crimson blush which covered his face, not noticing Usagi was in the same situation.
"Minako you baka!" Rei retorted, though she looked more amused than mad.
"Nani…why won't she need her own room?" Kai asked innocently.
"Baka…Mama and Papa share their own room, don't they?" Chibi-Usa said oblivious to the discomfort of Mamoru and Usagi…and Ami.
"Well…yes…but they're OLD back at home." Kai answered shrugging.
"NANI?!" Usagi asked outraged.
"Though…they ARE old here too." Kai said glancing up at both of them.
"I'm not old!" Usagi started while fuming.
"Living arrangements are settled then! Wouldn't you agree Mamoru-kun? After all, it is you who have to decide." Luna addressed him, ignoring his girlfriend's state.
"Yes, I would say they are." He said looking down at the boy.
