How I Really Am
Written in the first person; Rei is the speaker.
Chapter 1
I'm not a bitch.
I have an attitude, yes.
But a bitch, I am not.
You can sit there reading my words and not believe me.
You can tell me I'm a liar and a fraud.
But let the truth be known; I'm not a bitch.
How many people do you know that turned out the way you made them out to be?
A few? A lot? Can you honestly say that you've never been wrong once?
Well, I'm here to tell you now, that everyone is wrong about me.
Allow me to explain a few things to you.
When I was little, I lived with my parents. They were loving, at first, and they always had time for me. As I got older, the worse they got. So, automatically, I thought it was all my fault.
My mother left the house one day, without a word to either my father or me.
Dear old daddy, being a highly sophisticated businessman, couldn't handle me on his own; so at the age of 12, he dropped me off at the doorstep of my grandfather's temple in Juuban and took the next flight to America without saying goodbye.
Of course, by the time I was 16, I had forgotten my father, like he was a figment of my imagination so very long ago. I figured that way, I wouldn't have to hate him the rest of my life.
I pretended my mother was dead.
Grandfather, mom's dad, thought that may not be a good idea. But I didn't care.
She left me, so in a way, I left her behind too.
I've never really had any friends. I go to school, I joined in several after school activities, and I became a sailor senshi. But I never really had any friends. Except one.
Her name is Usagi. She's not only my one true friend, but she's also Sailor Moon; my princess.
I know what you're going to say now. "Sure, she's your princess, but you don't really think she's worthy." Well, again, you're wrong.
Usagi is very much worthy to be a princess.
I admit it took me a long time to realize that. But fortunately, I realized it in the nick of time.
You see, when I was brought here, to Juuban, I was scared.
I didn't know anyone, except Grandpa, and I wasn't sure I wanted to know anyone.
Growing up alone can be a good thing to some, but to me, it was very lonely.
I spent my days doing chores and meditating.
That was the only way Grandpa would allow me to live with him, without paying rent.
So, I'm sure you can imagine how my day went.
I get up at 4, do my chores, meditate, do more chores, more meditating, and so on and so forth.
You get the idea.
It was around this time, that I met Usagi.
Grandpa had left me in charge of the temple that day.
He said something about needing to get more string.
So, there I was in my traditional priestess robe sweeping the steps out front, when I heard….
"ARRGGHHH!!!"
