Okay first things first, I do not own Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, though I
would love to. Secondly if I mention anything that is famous, I don't own
that either.
I wrote this out of boredom and I really like how this first chapter has come out. A lot of things will be explained later on. Well.hope this is good. ~Nael
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter One "A New Friend."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long gold hair trailed down behind her as she pulled the brush through its' strands. Her skin was pale as snow but glowed with life. Sparkling blue eyes stared back at her from a silver mirror. She slowly placed the brush upon her vanity and stretched her arm out before her. Long thin cuts were placed upon her arm stopping just below the wrist and just above her elbow. Her other hand pulled her white silk sleeve back over her arm; she patted the fabric lightly before turning in her seat. Her eyes searched the room checking every single area.
She could hear her heart pounding in her head as she stood up slowly and looked around her room. 'Pink.' She thought looking at her room. The walls were pink as was the blanket upon her bed. Small stuffed bunnies were placed about the room; bunnies covered the sheets that were seen from under the blanket. She pulled her thoughts together and slowly made her approach to her closet and began to change her clothing.
She walked from her room wearing her school uniform, a small brooch, placed upon the red bow, hid many secrets within it. Her hair was no longer down, but pulled up into two buns with more hair hanging down from them. They swayed back and forth upon her back as she slowly descended down her stairs to make her entrance in the kitchen.
She walked into the kitchen to find her father and brother sitting at the table eating their breakfast. Her mother hummed a song to herself as she washed the dishes in the sink. A sigh escaped from her lips announcing her presence to the others.
Her mother looked up from where she was and smiled at her daughter. "Good morning Usagi. You're up early today, did you have trouble sleeping again?"
Usagi stared at her mother for a second. "I slept fine, I just felt like waking up early. for once."
"Would you like me to make you something to eat?"
"No thanks, mom. I'm going to head to school early."
Usagi walked to her door, slipped her feet into her shoes and grabbed her book bag. She turned the door handle and walked out without shutting it. She slowly walked down the street in the opposite direction of her school. Usagi had not gone to school for the past three days and didn't plan on going today. Usagi had made a new friend, someone who was much more interesting than her other friends. Usagi's friend was much better than the senshi; she was someone Usagi could feel free around.
Usagi just walked until she was at the park, when she found her spot in the park in which she met her friend at everyday. Usagi sat down upon a bench and looked around silently. Hands appeared on Usagi's shoulders suddenly and gave her a small squeeze.
"Shiko."
"Ready for another day of fun, Usa?"
Usagi brushed Shiko's hand from her shoulder and stood up. She stared into Shiko's purple eyes and a smile appeared on Usagi's lips.
"Ready than I've ever been." Usagi answered as she walked behind the bench and stood besides Shiko.
"Where to, princess?"
"Anywhere, as long as it is far from here."
Shiko began walking in the direction of the road and Usagi fell into step next to her.
"None of the other senshi know of you, why is that?"
Shiko tugged the sleeve of her leather jacket down and pinched it between her index finger and thumb. "They didn't exactly enjoy my company in the Silver Millennium. I was.well very rebellious. It was as though anyone who acted different within the sailor senshi was sent away.And I was placed at the Universe gate to provide protection."
Shiko's voice seemed to drop into a sullen sound and Usagi turned and looked at Shiko noticing tears beginning to fill within her friend's eyes.
"It wasn't your fault that she got in." Usagi said trying to keep her friend from bursting into tears.
"I know Usa.I know, it's just that when you and the senshi died, we were so scared. All the outer senshi were furious with us for failing to protect you."
"What do you mean by 'we' and 'us.' There were more than just you?" Usagi stopped abruptly just before the park's edge.
Shiko stopped as well and turned her head to look at Usagi's face. "Yes princess, there were three of us. Life and universe, I haven't found them.or they'd be here now."
"How many more senshi are there that I don't know about, Shiko?"
"Many more.some not even I know the names of." Shiko paused before speaking again. "We shouldn't stay here Usa, they might find us."
Usagi sighed and began walking again. "They don't know where I am anymore, they don't care."
Shiko shook her head but continued walking. "I'm sure they are worried about you."
They walked silently until they reached an old apartment building in the 'bad' part of town. Shiko and Usagi climbed up three flights of stairs before arriving at Shiko's apartment.
Shiko opened the door quickly and stepped into the dark living room. She clicked the light switch on and removed her shoes. Her jacket was the next to be removed and was thrown onto her couch. Shiko had a black tank top on under her jacket with some strands of her streaked black hair falling onto her shoulders.
Usagi glance at Shiko's arms and instantly felt the same thing she had felt when looking upon her own arm early that day, peace. Shiko's arms were covered in small cuts some were new and others were scarred over. Shiko rubbed her palms over her arms and turned towards Usagi. A smile was on her lips as she dropped down onto the couch.
"Another day of sitting on the couch and watching television. Or does Usa have an idea of what we should do?"
Usagi sat down on a chair on the opposite end of the room from Shiko. The room wasn't very large so they weren't kilometers away from each other, more like three or four meters.
Usagi let out a small yawn before speaking. "Watching television and sitting on the couch is perfect for me."
Shiko nodded before pulling the remote out from the side of the couch and turning on the television. "Think anything good is on today?"
"Is there ever anything good on?" Usagi quirked her brow at Shiko and was returned with a snort of laughter.
"Nope, and I would be surprised if there was."
Usagi stared at the television as Shiko went through the channels only to stop on a twenty-four-hour news station, which to Usagi was nothing important anymore.
~~ I know I cut it short, but I was writing this late and if I kept going I had a feeling it would start getting worse. x_x I'll attempt to write the next chapter soon. ~Leena P
