I do not owe Sailor Moon.
A/N: This will be a kind of mix between the Manga, Anime and NA version. I'm gonna mix a lot of things, so you might consider this a slight AU. Nothing much. Enjoy ! ^_^
Sailor Mars's POV. "Blah"- means talk- 'blah'- means thought. Usually Mars', since she's telling the story, so further in depth of Rei's opinion on the whole thing ^^ enjoy!
Life after Senshi-hood.
Dawn.
I looked outside the window at the city of Tokyo. Crystal Tokyo. The palace was stuck in the middle of a modern city, covering most of it with its shadow. Nonetheless, the people were grateful for the honor of having the Queen of the world, Neo-Queen Serenity, in their city.
Silly fools. She was here for all of her life. Why shouldn't she build her palace here?
I sighed as another beautiful sunset colored the sky with red and orange. And red. I love sunsets. It was the time the sky reflected me the most. Orange and Red, the way I am. And then came the night, blue and black. The way I feel.
Why am I feeling like this? None of the other senshi seems to be upset. What is it that I have to lose more than the others?
"Mars? It's time."
I nodded and follow the maid into a room. Or should I call it, a hall. All the senshi, with the exception of the Moon sailors, were in what became known as 'The memory Room'. Someplace where we kept everything we could from before the planet's rebirth. Ami, pardon, Sailor Mercury, kept putting her science books in order. Heaven forbids they should fall out of place. Mako... SAILOR JUPITER was cleaning her old set of kitchen knives.
"Still the best that could be found"
She tells us. I agree, nothing made from crystal could cut like those Ginzu knives. Damn, girl can cook!
SAILOR VENUS was looking at herself in the huge mirror her mother left her. On the table next to it were a few bunny rag-dolls and pictures of her family and friends.
I looked at the Outers' part of the room. We all had large space to put our things in, and Haruka... SAILOR URANUS found it appropriate to place her old car there. You have no idea how many collectors wanted to buy that old car from her. But she'd never give up on her baby.
In SAILOR NEPTUNE's part, there was much more room due to the lack of a car. So Neptune put in Uranus' old piano. It served a lot of purposes. It was a table for Neptune to put everything she wanted on it, and gave Uranus some free space. And once in a while, the two would play a duet. Neptune still has that violin of hers.
Saturn's corner is the most colorful. All sorts of dolls and toys and games. And pictures.
Pluto's corner is by far the most... UNIQUE. She has her old fashion designs, some clothes she actually made, and other stuff. But the things that make it the most interesting is a little garnet box she keeps. She claims she has things from the Silver Millennium in there. I believe her. Why should she lie?
And then I look at MY corner of the room. A mirror that rivals Venus's in size and tops it in quality. Several make-up products, but that's only because I like this mirror over the one I have in my room.
I run my finger gently over my mother's necklace. The only thing I have of her, other than the memory. And that's all that I need. Other than the pictures.
I think I have the largest collection of pictures in the room. Pictures of all of us when it was just the Inner senshi, and then more with the Outers. It hurts me to see that in all of the pictures we are in Sailor Fuku. Serenity says that it's for our own good. If anyone should get hold of those pictures, he could do something.
I laughed in her face. As if knowing our identities would help NOW. I can't remember the last time I was ME. And it hurts.
"Girls? Gather around?"
We all turn our looks to The Queen. She is smiling. Her warm smile, the smile that belongs to my Usa-Chan all those years back. I smile back, hoping its good news. I sure could use it.
"I have a gift for you, my friends. I thought about what I could donate to this room. After all, I was there too, you know."
We laugh. Actually, I hardly giggle. I just don't feel like it.
"So here. A fitting picture for 'The memory room'."
She shows us the picture she was holding, and my heart shatter. As the other Senshi cheer and congratulate Neo-Queen Serenity, I realized the truth. The hard, cold truth.
She puts the picture on a little podium in the middle of the room. After the Queen left and the other Senshi went about their business, leaving their memories behind, I stay alone and look at the picture.
"Hey."
A little word and a hand on the shoulder could be just a friendly act, but not to one such as me.
"What do you want, Venus?"
I can see she is a bit hurt. I didn't mean to, it's just the way I am these day.
"I was worried about you. We said we'd go for a walk in the gardens, have our girl-chat."
"What about, Venus? About the weather? About the current state? Here's an idea, what about THE LATEST BOY BAND?!"
Shock is what that covered her face next. I turn away with anger.
"Look at what she gave us. Such a simple gift... And such a deep, complicated meaning. Look at it, SAILOR VENUS..." I put as much venom into those last two words as I could. It worked, by the look on his face.
"...Look at it, and tell me what you see."
"Well, I..."
She took a step forward, to gain a bit of her self confidence. I am NOT impressed.
"I see all of the senshi, Star Lights included, with Endymion, out of our fukus. Why?"
She looks at me and I know she missed the point.
"That's the point, VENUS. Those aren't the Star Lights. And that's not Endymion. And those aren't the senshi."
It's obvious that my point is beyond her.
"No. Those are Yaten-Kun, Seiya-Kun and Taiki-Kun. That's Mamoru-Kun."
Her eyes open slightly. I wonder if she's starting to follow.
"That's Usa-Chan, Ami-Chan, Mina-Chan, Mako-Chan, Haruka-Chan, Michi-Chan, Hotaru-Chan and Setsuna-Chan. And lastly, Rei-Chan."
She looks at me as if I'm insane.
"Never mind."
I walk out of the room, leaving her confused. Without a moment's hesitation, I enter the throne room. The guards are caught a bit off guard, but let me in. After all, I'm SAILOR MARS, right?!
"Mars! What a nice surprise!"
Endymion welcomes me. Serenity isn't there. I kneel before him as is my duty to my king.
"Rise. You know you can cut that show around me."
I stand, yet keep my eyes on the ground. Why couldn't you be here, Usa- Chan? Everything would've been so much easier.
"Well, Sailor Mars? What can I do for you?"
It takes a few more second for me to get the courage needed for speech.
"Your highness, may I be excused?"
"But you just got in..."
"Excused for the day."
He looks at me with confused silence. I can see he is thinking hard about it. Then his face lights up as the door behind us opens. Saved by the Queen.
"...And then I want the head priest to meet me. Those protests have gone WAY too far and..."
She stops as she notices me and Endymion's confused face.
"Leave us."
The servant bows and closes the door behind her.
"Mars, what a nice surprise! I haven't seen you in this room for far too long! Why, I was beginning to think you were avoiding me or something and..."
"She wants to be excused."
"Pardon, Endymion?"
"I want to be excused for the rest of the day, your highness."
She turns her gaze immediately at me, and I stare so hard on the floor I could burn a hole through it, even without my fire powers. If she gets mad, I'm toast. If she allows it, then... Well, I'm toast. There's just no way...
"All right."
I stare at her now.
"You may go. But I want you back before night falls."
"What if I'm late?"
I know I'm pushing my luck. I just feel... All or nothing. And by her look, it's nothing.
"Midnight. Latest as it gets. Be inside the main gates by midnight."
I'm left speechless for one of the few times in my life. Then I hug her and run out the room.
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
"What do you think she is up to?"
Endymion asked.
"I do not know. It is most unlikely for her to do such a thing... Perhaps..."
"Perhaps...?"
"Nothing." 'Perhaps I have kept them locked for too long?'
"Never mind. What's on today's schedule?"
~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
I run through the castle, almost knocking down Neptune and Uranus, and actually knocking down Mercury.
"MARS, LOOK WHERE YOU'RE RUNNING!"
I ran to my room and looked through my closet. Everything inside of it was night gowns. I almost gave up, when I ran to the 'memory room'. If there was one thing I still kept with me, were several suits of cloths. Every-day clothes.
"Looking good!"
I looked GOOOOOD! I forgot how comfortable showing my belly-button was. And wearing tights! AHHH! Now, about my hair... Glancing over at Venus's drawers, I noticed an adorable purple ribbon. This would be perfect. I got on to rearranging my hair. Diggin' through my drawers, I took out a pair of red sunglasses and then left the room. I most have looked really different.
"STOP! THIEF!"
Looking to my side, I spotted Uranus and Neptune running at my direction.
'They must not recognize me!'
I ran the other way, only to find Jupiter and Venus.
"Hey, who're you?"
"She has my ribbon! The one that belonged to my sister!"
"GET HER!"
Knowing that Neptune and Uranus were behind me, I waited. Soon enough, I got away. Uranus and Jupiter tried charging at me at the same time. BIG mistake. Ok, so maybe going through the main doors was a bad idea. Sue me, I'm new at this.
Learning from my mistakes, I used side doors and servant exists. I finally made it to the kitchen and got out. Finally, I was out of the palace.
'Where to go now?'
I let my feet carry me wherever they wanted. It was so much fun! No one knew who I was, yet because I was naturally better-looking than most, I still got plenty of attention. I checked in my pockets. I had my credit card. Looking at the name on the card, I couldn't help but smile. In fact, I was grinning. 'Hino Rei. 50,000 limit'. And get this straight- it's a Crystal credit card. And when most things cost around the 200 credits TOPS, I can buy pretty much the entire city if I wanted to! One of the first things we got after the rebirth. So that we could live our lives without a care. WHAT A JOKE!
I came to a stop as I realized where I was. One of the Crystal Points, one of the pillars of Crystal Tokyo- the Hikawa Jinja Shinto Temple.
'Ojii-San...'
I must have looked odd. Such a fine girl, standing, staring at the old structure.
'I'm here. Might as well have a look see.'
And quite a look it was, indeed! The temple was practically EXPLODING with visitors. And policemen. And reporters. I got closer, hoping to get a better hear.
"Mr. Hino, how do you feel about your Daughter's disappearance 10 years ago?"
"Mr. Hino, how do you feel about your GRANDaughter's disappearance ten years ago?"
From those two questions, I knew that my father was there as well. I thought I'd better walk away, when a hand grabbed me and pulled me into the temple. I didn't lose my cool. After all, I was born for this kind of thing.
"HIYA!"
I shouted, sending my attacker at the nearest wall. Realizing too late my mistake.
"YUUICHIRU-KUN!"
I ran to him and helped him up.
'What a fool he must think of me now.'
"I'm so sorry, Yuuichiru-Kun. I... I didn't mean to... You came so suddenly and..."
Before I could keep on blabbering, he laid a kiss. Straight on the lips.
"I missed you, Rei-Chan. Where were you?"
Rei-Chan... Rei-Chan...
"Oh, Yuuichiru-Kun... I..."
Hearing my name triggered an emotional baggage I though I didn't have. I started crying, allowing myself to drown in his embrace.
"It's all right, Rei-Chan. It's all right. Shhh. I'm here."
Obviously coming 'cause of the commotion I made by throwing Yuuichiru across the room, Ojii-San and Otou-San came in running, expecting the worst.
"Yuuichiru-Kun, are you... All... right?!"
I looked up from Yuuichiru's now-wet-with-tears shoulder and met Ojii-San's gaze.
"Hello, Ojii-San. Otou-San. Good to see you again."
I didn't mean to, but my smile turned out sad and... Well, tired. My father stood, frozen. He obviously wanted to keep up the charade of caring about his missing daughter and get more people to vote for him. Even though I had more influence than he ever had, he still wanted it. Thank god no one knew I was Sailor Mars. My father never would've let me out of his sight.
But Ojii-San... Good old Ojii-San.
"Rei-Chan... My sweet little Rei-Chan."
By now he was crying as well. I opened my arms invitingly and he accepted. Yuuichiru half hugging me, my Ojii-San hugging me completely, even Otou-San just being there...
That morning was the best in a long while. I was there, with the people I cared for most in the world. And cared for me back. My Ojii-San kept asking me where I was. All he needed to hear was that I was serving the cause to which I was born. It wasn't that he didn't believe me. It was just that after my... My mother's death, he claimed Otou-San stopped her from reaching her goal. Hearing me say I reached mine made him so happy...
And then there was Yuuichiru-Kun. I never quite saw how much he cared for me. I mean, I HAVE, it's just that... I missed it. No one in the palace treated any of the senshi like that. Other than Moon, but she's no longer a senshi.
The look in his eyes when he's looking at me, the smile on his face. God, Yuuichiru doesn't LOVE me, he's IN-LOVE with me! I can't believe I never saw it this clearly before! God help me, I... I fell for him as well.
That morning, surrounded by my family and the man who turned out to be my love. That morning I reached a decision. Sailor Mars is dead. May she rest in peace. Long live Hino Rei.
