This is my first attempt at a Rei/Usagi fanfic. This is really just helping me to get some more writing done.
This is set within Neo Crystal Tokyo. Something has happened within the kingdom and Neo Queen Serenity only had one choice. The views will switch between Neo Queen Serenity and Rei.
If you do not like Rei/Usagi pairings do not read.
A/N: I am going back and trying to fix the pace of the story. So there will be some spots were things have been added, and taken away. I will fix up everything before chapter four is posted. Though it is now official that this story is already going on much longer then I intended, so the pace in the first three chapters needs to be changed, or else it will feel extremely rushed. If you have any questions at all don't be scared to review or pm me, and will answer your question the best I can without giving the story away. Now on with the story :)
Disclaimer: I do not nor ever will own Sailor Moon.
Chapter 1
Usagi's POV
Throughout all my life, I was always told that my fate was planed. That I had a destiny to fulfill. Sailor Pluto constantly reminded me that nothing was ever set in stone, and things could always change. She told me that I would rule Neo Crystal Tokyo and that I would have a wonderful life. So why was I always wishing, for a change. I know it is wrong of me to wish for something different, but I feel as if this world was pushed upon me. Even after her betrayal, all I can think about is her.
I walked to the bed my knees shaking, I slowly slid to the floor. 'Was it really for the best? I know she betrayed the kingdom, but I feel as if I had made the wrong choice. Why wouldn't she talk to me? I could have helped her, I would have been there for her.' I let my hand slip into a small drawer beside the bed, and I pulled out a small red silk bag. From, there I pulled the drawstring open, and tipped the bag over letting the henshi pen fall to the wooden floor beneath me. I picked it up, fiddling with it. I then held it up to the window, letting the light from outside wash over my hand. I could feel the tears sliding down my face, as I gazed at the small memory in my hand.
I know that I could have done a lot more for Rei. Her behaviour changed when Neo-King Endymion returned from his trip across the solar system. I should have taken that as a sign. I should have known something was up. She was acting so out of character, it wasn't the Rei I knew. It wasn't Rei, by along shot, but maybe I never truly knew the real Rei. I looked upon the dark room, and walked to the bay window, that faced out away from the sun. No matter how hard I tried to forget about her, her face always haunted my mind. It made it even harder that they had already got a replacement senshi to replace Sailor Mars. It made it hard to walk and talk with my friends anymore. 'Was it that easy to replace a friend, or a loved one.' I felt my throat constrict, and a sob travel through my body. I sighed and tried to wipe the tears away, I turned my blurry eyes back towards the window, and I looked out of it my eyes never leaving the sky.
Looking closely I could see the planet of Mars. I knew that my Rei was somewhere on that planet. She would be alone, and completely forgotten about. She use to be the most respected senshi within the inner guard, and everyone looked up to her. But now with recent events her name became taboo, and if said an awkward silence would kill the conversation completely.
I continued my pitiful looks at the planet, that held most of my happy memories. I knew that it was to late, to say anything directly to her face. But I knew somewhere deep down she could still hear me. I lifted my hand up and rested it on the window. "Goodnight, my dear Rei, goodnight. I hope your dreams are filled with joy, instead of the misery I put you through here." I wiped the tears from my eyes. I slowly stood up, and walked to the small mahogany desk that lay in the corner. I quickly grabbed a small photo album on the way. I set it gently on the table, and flipped it open.
I could feel the tears coming again. The first picture was back in junior high, before things got extremely complicated. It was our inner senshi group photo. I stood in the middle, followed by Rei, and Makato on my right, and Minako and Ami on my left. 'Boy have things sure changed.' I quickly flipped the page and the tears continued to fall. This was out updated group photo, I stood in the middle again, with Rei and Minako on either side. On Minako;s side Ami stood her nose in a book as usual, and on Rei's side stood a girl that towered over all of us. Behind us were the Outer Senshi and boy did they look intimidating. I wiped my eyes, with little effort as more tears began to fall from my eyes. I flipped the page and the quickly closed the book, as I felt a presence outside the door. I tensed up waiting for them to let me know they were there. But nothing happened.
I stood there nervously, waiting for that light tapping, that would signify someone being there. But still nothing happened. I could hear the person fidgeting, moving from foot to foot. I approached the door cautiously, still not knowing who was on the other side. "Who's.." and then I finally heard the light sound of someone tapping on the door. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes, "come in." I quickly turned away from the door, and walked back to the bay window.
I heard the door open, and then slowly close. I heard the soft footsteps enter the room, and then stop. Knowing instantly what the woman was doing, I felt hurt, and betrayed.
"Neo-Queen Serenity, you had us quiet worried we haven't seen you all day."
"Minako, I have told you on more the one occasion to just call me Usagi, when we are not in public. Also why must you always have the need to check up on me, I told you I am fine." I continued staring out the window not trusting myself to do anything. I could hear Minako walk towards the desk in the far corner, and I could hear her flip open the book. There was a long pause of silence, and then I could hear the photo album close.
Minako let out a long sigh, as she dropped something to the floor. She fell into the chair by the desk, and instantly began tapping her foot, against the chair leg.
I looked at her out of the corner of my eye. I could see her fidgeting, and struggling. She looked up catching my eye, and I quickly averted my eyes, casting them back to the window.
"You miss her don't you." I could practically feel her eyes burning into the back of my head.
I turned towards her, my jaw dropping. "Would you believe me, if I told you I don't miss her, and that I feel really betrayed by her!"
Minako gave a small smirk and shook her head. "You could tell me that, but I would still know the truth."
I turned away from Minako, and continued to look out the window. I could hear Minako go back to the photo album and continue to flip through it.
I closed my eyes. "You know even after what she did, I still think I can find it in my heart to forgive her. I just want her back here." I felt my heart crack a little with the thought of never having Rei back here on the moon with me. I could feel tears begin to run down my cheek once again.
Minako closed the book. "That is who you are Usagi, you are the most loving, forgiving person that I know I will ever meet. But I agree with you, we all loved her and we all miss her." A knowing look crossed her face. "Some more then others."
I turned my attention back to the little red planet in the sky. 'If you can hear me Rei, we all still love you. I know you betrayed me, and I had to do what I did to protect my kingdom, but I feel somewhere deep down I am somewhat responsible for your betrayal. I am sorry for being so blind to it, I should have been there for you when you need me.' I felt the tears slide down my cheeks and fall on my dress, leaving a small trail of circular droplets fall down the front of my dress. 'Goodnight, my dear Rei, my you rest in fire's embrace.'
I felt the last tear slide down my cheek, and then they completely stopped.
A/N: I was listening to some music on you tube and was generating ideas. Sadly not all the ideas fit into my other two stories, so they are going to be made into this one. The next chapter will focus on what Rei did to get exiled, and what is going on for her right now.
