I don't care if any of you readers like Mamoru, REVIEW! I happen to...dislike him.

Prologue: Scarlet Dream
***
I stare at him. Does he expect me to throw myself at him and cry out an apology? He has to know...doesn't he? Doesn't he know he ruined my dream, my perfect, pink dream?
"Well?" he asks in an annoyed tone. Maybe he does expect me to...I don't care. People like him shouldn't be allowed to live for very long. He did a backhanded thing to me, spreading nasty rumors, turning the people I care most about away from me.
"Iie," I say slowly, much to his surprise. "You used me, and now the Senshi hate me."
He blinks. "Nani?" His tone was innocent now. I roll my eyes.
"You heard me. Iie."
He shakes with rage. "We are destined to be together! To rule Crystal Tokyo..."
I laugh. It's a disturbing laugh, to say the least. I can see it scares him. My fit of giggles continue as I leave the bench and the park.
***
Looks of hate crowd my vision as I walk the halls of Juuban high school. I ignore them completely.
Tsukino Usagi, Bringer of Disaster, and Causer of Pop Quizes. I kind of like that title. My insane laughter threatens to boil over, but subsides. I walk past the classroom I'm supposed to enter, and head straight for the exit.
So, I think, he's managed to turn the whole school against me. Pretty impressive for the piece of scum he is.
I use the disguise pen of so long ago to aid me in cutting school. My new looks and duds make me seem like a businesswoman on lunch break.
I head straight for a forest and an all-but-forgotten path. Dust is kicked up by my black heels, but I know exactly where I'm going.
Once again the laugh wishes to return, but I silence it. No more noises until I think of what to call the Dream now that it's been destroyed.
I know Pluto is watching me but she won't interfere. He destroyed most of the future, and now I would finish it off.
***
My life...an endless source of dreams broken or forgotten. As I grow, more and more of them are cast away, due to loss of interest or time.
But not my Pink Dream.
Iie, no one was ever supposed to know of it at all. I made plans ahead of time. They all worked out. Naru, school, and my family were minor glitches that would hardly be a problem. My perfectly pink Dream was being realized.
Until Mamoru showed up.
I honestly don't know what I ever saw in him. Mamoru was definitely not part of my pink Dream. Nor were the Senshi.
My mind lashes out suddenly. Bakas! They could never comprehend the Dream. Mamoru came first, and then all of them. All of them together ruined the perfect pink Dream...
A thought presents itself to me. Interesting.
The inane laughter wells up in my throat. This time I let it through instantly.
I would finally be rid of the Senshi and Mamoru.
I am capable of murder, making it look like suicide.
For now, I would dream in Scarlet.
