Crossover: Sailor Moon and Death Note

Summary (full): From the first moment I saw her, I knew she was perfect. She represented the world I was striving to create- one without evil, corruption, hate, and crime. Unfortunately, I am not the only one to take such an interest in her mystery….

NOTE: Originally, I had this planned as a cute one shot; however, after thinking about it for some time, I figured I might make this a SMALL story, very short. Now, as for the summary, I'm sure you have figured out who the point of view is in (only the summary) but it will not be that way throughout this short story. Also, the summary may make him seem OOC BUT he will not be. You will see as you read.

Disclaimer: I own neither Sailor Moon nor Death Note. Sailor Moon was created by Naoko Takeuchi and Death Note was created by Tsugumi Ohba; however, I wish I was the creator of BOTH series. Each, in their own right, is pure genius in the making. Sailor Moon was the start of the "Anime Boom" and Death Note is a new and engaging anime I simply love.


I can remember her entrance into our lives quite clearly. Originally, she had been living in Jūban, a small district within Tokyo, Japan's capitol, but this wasn't to last. Her family had been massacred by a deranged psychopath whom had escaped from Tokyo's asylum just a few days before the incident. Unfortunately, her family was not the only one to suffer. How she survived was still a mystery; one I have been trying to figure out for quite some time, now.

It took the local police longer than expected to locate the killer, but, when they went to apprehend him, they found he had hung himself with a necktie in the closet of a run down motel just outside of Tokyo's city limits. Stuffed inside one of his pockets was a note he wrote while under the influence of Kira. After finding the note, the police brought the full attention of the Kira Task Force to the particular crime. Apparently, the man had been a case in which 'L' had to solve in the past.

'L' had immediately grown suspicious of the young woman when he learned of her survival. Unlike the rest of the task force, which was thankful that someone had survived but also saddened for her loss, 'L' took it upon himself to initiate an investigation into her. Nothing was found; however, as more attention was brought onto her, also was the fact of strange happenings inside of Tokyo.

Both 'L' and I took notice of this and how it would affect her, mentally and physically. At first glance into her life, we had learned that she was a bubbly and energetic girl albeit underachieving klutz. I had cringed at the thought of an even more annoying Misa Amane act-a-like popped into my head. Thankfully for Misa, she had a purpose, and, until it was fulfilled, she was safe. Interviews with friends showed that Serena was indeed, or had been, a care-free, well-intentioned, life-loving woman-child; however, at the death of her family and the sudden disappearance of her friends, she was quickly beginning to recede into herself. Depression. No. Not even depressed could describe the deep sorrow and grief that emanated from her form to wash over others in waves. She was quickly beginning to lose sight of her formal selves. Even the task force, who knew her past personality only from facts and word-of-mouth, could tell a drastic difference.

Eventually, 'L' was once again unable to find anything binding her to any crime. He had failed just as he had with me so far. This fact alone was enough to draw not only my amusement but also that of my Shinigami, Ryuk. Oddly enough, whenever Serena was around, Ryuk made sure to keep himself scarce. I made to approach him on this subject several times-while still being weary of the twenty-four hour watch 'L' had on me-but he refused to relinquish any information regarding his behavior. Annoying as it may be, I still had no choice but to wait out for the information. With 'L' keeping a close eye on me, I had no other option at the time.

The task force was just on the verge of wrapping up the Tokyo investigation when, all of a sudden, Serena Tsukino disappeared off the face of the earth. 'L' was once again intrigued, and, I must admit, so was I. Not only was her disappearance noted but the disappearance of her friends The Three Lights was also noted. They had also been under 'L's' suspicion but, thanks to Misa's persistence, we were able to quickly remove them from the suspect list. In all honesty, their disappearance was of nothing to me nor anyone else on the taskforce other than 'L' and I wasn't sure if he was or wasn't slightly happy with it. Misa had made it painstaking hard to be around her when she realized that The Three Light's were residing in the city and attending a local high school that 'L's' key suspect attended as well.

It was brought to the Task Force's attention that once Serena Tsukino had officially been added to the "Missing" list, Sailor Moon and all of the weird happening that took place in Tokyo had also disappeared. 'L' and I had it figured out in little to no time-Serena and her friends were the Sailor Scouts and whatever was happening to the city was centered around her. With her disappearance, things in Tokyo returned to partial normalicy. Nevertheless, the taskforce continued the Kira investigation inside Tokyo's city limits while awaiting the reappearance of Serena, her friends, and the scouts.

Our wait didn't last long, only a couple of weeks. Serena returned but not alone. With her were, once again, her friends, but in addition was another. He was tall, taller than me and 'L', with midnight black hair and deep oceanic blue eyes. The air around him seemed regal and his presence seemed to be controlling and regal all at once. I hated him when my eyes first landed on him. I didn't fail to notice the calculating gaze that 'L' threw his way either. Neither of us trusted nor liked this Darien.

Even with her reappearance, everyone could note the difference in her posture, pose, and personality. Yes, her heart was lighter but she also held a deeper knowing than before. Something in the past couple of weeks had changed her and none of us knew if it was for the best. I even had an uneasy feeling about the situation; however, I wasn't sure if it was just due to the fact of her change or the addition. He was just as unsure as 'L' and I were of him. The tightening of his grip around Serena did not go unnoticed.

The surprise we all felt at her return soon vanished as 'L' pushed forward and began to interrogate her once again. This time, however, her answers were calmer, thorough, and thought through than before. At first, none of us could believe her and I had to fight off the urge to question Ryuk then and there; however, after being shown (quite literally) that what she was speaking was the truth, we had no choice but to believe her.

Unlike before, Serena Usagi Tsukino now served a purpose to me and I would not let this opportunity pass me by. I knew immediately that in order to complete my mission, I would need her help. With her power, my dream would become reality all the faster than originally planned. But first, I had obstacles that needed to be rid of before my plan could begin.

Chiba!

I believe this is a good enough spot to end if any for a prologue. Now, I know you all will have questions regarding the before and during within Light's mental ponderings. Throughout the story, incidents will arise that will bring flashbacks to one (if not more) of the characters. I will make sure to keep things clear so that no confusion arises.

Now, after letting my fingers type freely, I realize that this is nothing in which I had planned to write. I had originally planned to write a humorous one shot on Light's thoughts in regard to the relationship between L and Serena in regards to their love of sweets. As you can tell, I didn't exactly type what I had planned on the way back from my vacation. It seems like I am creating yet another Death Note crossover and I doubt it will be as short as I had planned. I will try tomorrow to type up my one shot, Candy Wars.

In the meantime, I would appreciate any feedback that you would like to share. Questions, comments, criticism, and compliments are welcomed with open arms and greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to read up on my story. I hope I did not confuse nor disgrace any of the characters. I try to remain true to each.

Again, this story will not be told entirely in Light's point of view. I figured that, if I opened in it, you would better understand the summary. I can only hope I was correct.

Sincerely,

Sesshy's Mistress

PS: I ended up typing this very late at night and I am too tired to review it for mistakes but I am also too hyped up about it to NOT post it. Thus, you have it now. If you see any mistake (spelling, grammar, reference, names, etc) please leave me a note in a review. I would appreciate the heads up so I may fix it. Thanks :D
