I know this was probably a stupid idea. To start a new fanfic without finishing my other what five? But this has been bugging me and I just had to start writing it. Sometimes insperation comes to the wrong story.
"Mother! Father!" A girl about sixteen yelled while running through her family's crystal palace. "Usagi-oneechan!"
The girl had long black hair much like her father's and deep sky blue eyes like her mother. She was wearing a small sailor uniform that was always worn by the women choosen for the job of protecting their planet with a crystal sword bouncing on her hip. Her long hair was flying behind her like her father's long black cape.
She skidded to a halt infront of the throne room, where she thought she would surely find her family. Swinging open the doors she found her father, the King, her mother, the Neo Queen, and her sister, Princess Serenity Usagi discussing something in hushed voices. They stopped their discussion and looked up at her entrance.
"Mom, Dad, Usagi please tell me that the rumors are not true!" she begged them with tears welling up in her eyes. They looked at her sadly and the beautiful pink-haired princess came forth to comfort her younger sister.
"Yuki, you know that I went through the same thing when I was only five and again when I was eight," she said caringly, but the angered girl wouldn't hear it. "You should be fine since you are already sixteen and can transform easily."
"We were also in the middle of a war when you were a kid, Usagi!" she yelled, her voice echoing through out the room. "We are at peace and the others are happy with their own families. I don't see why I have to go back to the twentieth century!"
"Please, Yuki, it won't be for too long," the King told his now openly crying daughter. "Before you know it, you will be right back here with the other Knights."
"But why can't they come with me?" Yuki asked them with a swipe of her hand. They were referring to the new generation of sailor senshi, the Planetary Knights. "Ice, Fire, Love, and Thunder would be more than happy to come with me!"
"They are all doing special training with their mothers," Neo Queen Serenity told her youngest daughter. "They will join you after they are done though."
"But that could take months!" the young princess protested. She was pouting now and even though she inherited her father's calm face the pout fit her well. Her father stepped forward and knelt to were he was eye level with her.
"You are the heir to Earth's throne, surely you won't mind touring its past?" he asked calmly. As she stared at her father's face, Yuki began to calm down.
"Fine," she said turning on her heel, sending her long hair flying. Looking over her shoulder she added, "But I'm still not happy about it."
Princess Yuki Serenity left and both her parents and older sister gave a small laugh at her rare stubborness.
-later-
"What!?" asked the shocked Yuki to her parents. Everyone had gathered in the meadow inside the palace to see Yuki off to the twentieth century. She turned to the green-haired woman standing next to her parents. "Pluto-sama, what do you mean Sori is going to be the one to transport me back in time?"
She looked over at Pluto's daughter and one of her friends and loyal Knights in apology. Sori just smiled back at her younger friend.
"I believe it will be good practice for her," Pluto calmly explained to the scared princess. "Do not fear, Princess, nothing will go wrong as long as so many of us are here."
Yuki looked over to her fellow knights. Fire Knight, Mars' daughter, nodded; Ice Knight, Mercury's daughter, gave a small smile; Thunder Knight, Jupiter's daughter, gave a thumbs up sign; Love Knight, Venus' daughter, waved and smiled; Sea Knight, Neptune's daughter, smirked; Cracking Knight, Uranus' daughter, gave a small nod; and Sori or Time Knight gave a reassuring smile. She nodded, encouraged by her friends, and turned back to the place she would be leaving out of. Sori opened the portal and with one last look at her family and friends, Yuki stepped through it.
There was a flash in her vision, but when it cleared Yuki saw she was floating through the sky down to a lakeside. Looking around, she saw several buildings stretching into the sky and that she was surrounded by blooming trees. Sighing, she turned into her civilian form and started to walk through the trees. Eventually she made it to a busy street. Looking around she noticed a man standing by a store in a navy blue uniform.
"Excuse me," she said quietly to the man. He looked down and smiled.
"Yes Miss?" he asked with a kind look on his face.
"I was wondering if you could direct me to an apartment complex?" The man nodded and directed her to what she could see was a tall building with many balconies. Yuki made her way slowly through the city to the place her father had told her about.
"Go to my old apartment," the King had told his daughter a few days previous to her departure. He wrote down the name and number of his apartment. "You can find me and your mom when we were in that era there."
So now that was her first stop. Find her parents and, hopefully, a place to stay. She entered the building and headed for the elevator. It went slowly up to the floor she wanted, but she wasn't thinking about that.
'How am I going to make them believe me?' she thought to herself. 'I know Usagi-oneechan has been here, but they probably won't believe that I am from eighteen years farther into the future than she was.'
The elevator got to the floor and Yuki started to walk towards the apartment. When she got there, she knocked, but no one answered. She sighed.
"Luna-K," she said holding out her left wrist. Her watch transformed into a key and Yuki opened the door. "Surely Father wouldn't want me outside alone in this dangerous time."
Yuki walked into the empty apartment and looked around with disappointment.
'He doesn't even live here anymore,' she thought as she looked into some cupboards. 'Why can't I ever see him when I want? It is always when he wants.'
She walked into the living room and sighed. She sat on the couch and tried to calm down from her rare selfishness.
"Come to the darkness," a scratchy male voice called out to her. She immediately sat up straight and looked around.
"Who's there?" she called out. She looked around the empty apartment, but nothing had changed
"Leave your family behind and come to the darkness," the voice continued.
"No!" she yelled back at it. Yuki closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands. "Go away!"
"Come to the darkness and leave all your worries of being alone behind," the voice tempted. Yuki didn't reply to it, instead she squeezed her eyes shut. "Come to the darkness, Dark Rose, and be with people who want to be with you."
A portal opened in the middle of the room and Yuki stood. She opened her eyes a little and smirked. Transe-like, she stepped into the portal. When she came out she was in a giant circus tent and was dressed in a black tuxedo. She looked at herself and saw a jet rose sticking out of her pocket. She smiled.
"Like my father's heart," she whispered and pulled it out. The stem grew and the rose became a cane.
"Welcome Dark Rose," the scratchy voice called out and Yuki looked up to it. "You are now apart of the Dark Moon Circus and it is time to get revenge on those who left you alone!"
The voice turned into a laugh and Dark Rose laughed with it.
During editing: hey everyone! This is actually my revising of the Prologue since it was only 600 or so words and I try to keep all of my chapters above 1000 words. Also I do go through my stories and revise things every now and then so keep checking earlier chapters for more details and dialogue.
