Chapter 1
(Spirit of the Lonely)
'With all the problems in the world, the sea is what calms me down the most. I think that most days, I would just want to live among the sea creatures, and live without a care in the world... This universe is a dark and disastrous place, full of people and things willing to take advantage of you whenever and however they see fit. Exceptions are made everyday, full of trust and consideration, but never caution. This is why I return to the sea every night to regain my self respect to live through the night. My life, had never been what it was thought or planned out to be, and now, I am sure, it's about to change... again..
'I listened to the wind howling as I allowed some tendrils of my ebony hair to dance about my face, as I stared blankly into the wave's movement that seemed to transport me to somewhere warm, and comforting. My name, was something that I wanted to leave behind, as my life also.. Rei Hino.. An endless dreamer in a world full of nightmares... Ebony hair to my hips, deep purple eyes, china skin... I was not too tall nor too short, I was just right.'
"Tell me, does it take so long to clear your thoughts on something that just happened two years ago, and now you are still reminiscing?" A voice called from behind.
'I turned to see, Serena. She was a very dear friend of mine, even though we fight a lot, she had always been there for me, and I will always be there for her also.'
"No, I was just thinking of how nice it would be to live in the ocean.. You know, without the troubles of our own world." I said, still in my own daydreams.
"Well, I am sure they have problems too. Nothing is perfect, and that's what makes us special." Serena smiled, and let out a seemingly restrained giggle.
"Yeah, I guess you are right." I replied.
'And she was. Serena had a knack for being right about the serious and real things. It seemed that on some other level, she understood what most of us are still wondering about. Oh, to have that kind of understanding. I know I have a lot of knowledge that she doesn't, but the difference is that there is a difference, and that's what makes us unique. And suddenly, I found the self respect that I was looking for.'
"You seem so quiet. Wondering about life, or something that you can't explain?" Serena asked intent on learning my fears.
"I am wondering about life, I suppose. I mean, sometimes I just don't understand anything, and then, I come here, and the answers seem to drift toward me from the waves… Serena, where do you think heaven is?" I asked her, unsure if she even had thought about it.
"Well, I never thought about it really, but I guess, I can't tell you... I mean, I don't know, and it would be wrong for me to make a guess right now without thinking about it. Why? Where do you think it is?" Serena pondered aloud, still fascinated by my world.
"I think it is on the waves of the ocean. I mean think about it... The waves of the ocean bring things drifting towards us, and guardian angels seem to find us as if they were riding on clouds... And waves are a lot like clouds. They go everywhere because of the wind. So I think that God is in the wind, sending angels everywhere on the tips of the waves. And when they reach the shore, the travel to where they are needed." I explained, not quite positively though.
"Wow, it seems you've had a lot of time to think about this huh?" Serena questioned, as if wondering if I was still alright.
"Yes, but I am fine. I will be at least." I said, wavering back into my world.
'I didn't even see Serena leave. She slipped away unnoticed. I sat down and buried my head into my knees, while still staring at the sea. I wondered why everyone was so happy in a world like this, without much harmony. But then I realized that everyone is different, with their own different lives, and that our lives are affected by the decisions we make. So why was mine so bad, and without love? I thought I had worked hard all my life to get the things I wanted. I guess not...'
Rei let her thoughts drift her away until the sun slipped slowly behind the horizon. Soon, darkness surrounded her, and the moon and the stars were the only lights she saw. She finally decided it was time to go inside. So, she got up and started trudging towards the temple. It wasn't a long walk, maybe ten minutes, and she would have time to think more. But lately, she didn't seem to like thinking. It made her more depressed.
Rei tried to find a meaning to life among the way, but it all seemed pointless. But no matter how pointless life seemed, she would never end it. Rei always lived with the hope that tomorrow is what you make it. So she tried to make each day a better day for herself and the people around her.
Rei was halfway there when she heard a scream, and she darted in the woods toward the sound. When she came upon where the sound came from, she saw a young woman being attacked by a hideous monster.
"Oh my gosh!" Rei screamed.
Rei quickly hid behind a bush. 'What am I hiding for? That girl needs me!'
"Mars Crystal Power!" Rei shouted.
She ran around to face the monster, which was sucking away the knowledge of the young girl.
"Hey you! Hands off the girl! I am Sailor Mars and I will punish you on behalf of Mars!" Sailor Mars shouted.
The monster had gleaming coal eyes and it was completely red, but the form was of a woman. Its fangs dripped with a purple component, and it had a long tail which whipped back and forth with her erratic behavior.
"Who are you to tell me to stop? You will never win against me! I am Larinatye, and you will never stop me!" Larinatye screeched.
"Oh yes I will!" Sailor Mars screamed.
But then, Sailor Moon appeared. And with her power and honor, she killed the monster. Now it seemed as if there was no use for Rei in this world, because the world had Sailor Moon. Rei congratulated Sailor Moon, and slunk off home after changing back into her regular self again. Right now her life seemed pointless… 'Would I ever find my purpose to live?'
Somewhere not to far away from Tokyo, in Nagasaki, there was a man cleaning his guns. The world for him was his assignments, and then doing what he was told. He had followed orders all his life, and now he had been given an assignment to kill this girl in Tokyo. She had red hair and green eyes. Her name was Molly, and she was a student at Crossroads High School. He was an assassin, and his name was Wufei.
Wufei had black eyes and black hair, and was muscular with alabaster skin. He was short-tempered and was always the silent type until approached violently. His thoughts now, were to complete the mission and get on with the next assignment. But, his life seemed always like it was missing something. Maybe danger, excitement, or love. He did not know, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sound in his kitchen. He sprang up, shaking, and heart pounding. He tiptoed spread out against the wall, and quietly to the kitchen.
"Who's there?" Wufei called.
Nothing… Not even a breath. But then, suddenly, his eye caught something in the kitchen corner, and he didn't even think nor blink before the sound of his gun sliced through the silence…
