Hrm... well, I have recently begun to read Fushigi Yugi, and found it very appealing. So, being the person I am, I am writing a crossover, with my favorite senshi, Rei, as the center.
Don't worry. We Who are Cursed is still being updated and is my prime focus, but I just wanted to get this idea out there.
So, feedback would be nice.
Raiden: Well, duh.
Silence: Shut up, you fool!
Raiden: Er, ok.
Silence: I do not own FY or SM.
The Wish
Prologue
Rei Hino swept the front porch of the Hiwaka Shrine, black hair swirling around her face and amethyst eyes kept in a stern lock. Her small hands held her broom loosely, swinging it back and forth as it brushed the surface of the wood.
The sun was setting slowly, her ravens, Phobos and Deimos, flying overhead. They began to call out softly, but stopped as they nestled in a nearby tree. The miko sighed as she placed her broom against the temple wall, taking herself inside.
The place she had grown to call home was empty, no noises or creaks from the wooden floorboards emerging from the quiet. It had been that way for awhile.
Her grandpa had died a year ago, leaving her the temple. Her father still continued to ignore her existence; her mother's grave still residing in the cemetery, some things that didn't change.
Thinking about her grandpa also reminded her of her friends, the ones she had last seen at her grandpa's funeral. She did not blame them for not appearing much, or so much for not keeping in contact, they had new lives now.
With the defeat of Galaxia and the expelling of Chaos, the senshi were for lack of better words, out of business. The world was at peace and now everyone was doing the things they wanted to do.
Usagi and Mamoru got married, Chibi-Usa was born and around two years old. Both of them got temporary jobs and lived life out, waiting for the rise of Crystal Tokyo.
Minako had devoted her time to becoming an idol, trying out for many acting auditions and modeling agencies. Last year she heard she was doing well. She even had found a steady boyfriend.
Makoto had gone to a culinary school in the United States, leaving Japan behind in pursuit of her career and dream to become a chef. Thinking about her brunette friend reminded her of the times when she would cook for the weekly cram sessions, her food the only thing that kept them sane.
Ami Mizuno, the genius of the five, went to Germany for medical school, leaving everyone behind as well. This was her dream even before she became Sailor Mercury, so she was sure not to give up.
As for Rei, she had stayed behind, taking the temple into her care. Her days were for the most part uneventful, making it hard for her to say she enjoyed the path she had chosen.
She had wanted to become a Shinto Priestess for as long as she could remember, but for some reason, she had envisioned it differently. She had pictured it like old times, where her friends and her grandpa were still with her.
Rei made herself a small cup of tea and sat on her bed, resting her head on the wall behind her. Turning to her right she could see her henshin stick lying on her vanity, its handle clinging to several layers of dust.
She turned her eyes to the surface of her tea, staring at her image on the liquid surface. It took her a moment to realize that a tear was running down her face. Why, she couldn't tell you, but all she knew was it came out of no where.
"Maybe…" She wiped it off with her free hand. "Thinking of my friends and grandpa is reminding me of how lonely I am…"
She sat her unfinished tea on her bedside dresser, afterwards cuddling into the depths of her blankets.
"I wish that I could be somewhere I was needed… So I won't be lonely anymore." She murmured quietly, closing her eyes as water pricked at her eyelids. Her pride however, wouldn't let them fall and as she drifted to sleep, she failed to see the shooting star flying across the sky…
