White Flag: A Bishoujou Senshi Sailor Moon Fanfiction...

Chapter One

(BSSM does not belong to me)

Rei was fairly certain that she done something horribly wrong in a past life that put her permanently on the fate's shitlist.

It was the only possible explaination for the situation that she was currently in.

As she listened to Usagi rattle on about the current dire situation she tried to calculate the number of babies she would have had to have beheaded and desecrated in order to earn her current fate.

She had met the other woman at a cafe in Ikebakuro after a desperate call was placed to her cell phone. Usagi was frantic about something and even before sitting down and hearing what exactly it was, Rei had gotten the distinct feeling that she wouldn't like it.

"-her. Rei! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?!"

She wasn't, she hardly ever did, but she figured that it wouldn't be wise to let her future queen know that.

"Hai. I don't, however, agree with the concensus that you and Setsuna seemed to have come to. First of all is the fact that I am, as far as I know, not a lesbian and neither is Minako for that matter."

"That doesn't matter!!"

Rei thought it mattered very much but again, she had learned, through age and experience and knowing the Odango-oh before her for over 12 years that any arguments she may have to the matter at hand, it wouldn't matter at all in the end as the Queen usually seemed to ignore the opinons of her court for those of her consort.

This situation didn't seem to be any different.

"It does matter, Usagi. Theres no plausible way that could happen given the fact that Minako and I are by no means attracted to one another, despite what Seiya may have told you. And I refuse to believe that Setsuna would consent to such a plan. Especially since she knows exactly what will happen in the end regardless of whether any of us like it or not. You may think that this is a good idea, pairing everybody away and whatnot but just because 98 of the senshi happen to be gay or otherwise not entirely straight doesn't mean that all of us are. Minako is engaged to a guy remember?"

Just because it was futile didn't mean that she didn't try occasionally...

"Setsuna confirmed Seiya's theory!! Because I left Mamoru then the entire course of the future has been changed!!"

"And how exactly did she come to the conclusion that Minako and I would be a couple in the future?"

"Because Kakyuu-san said to give her apologies that she wouldn't be able to make it to your wedding! And everyone knows that Kakyuu-san is more than a little bit psychic!!"

Rei refused to argue anymore at this point. She rubbed her eyes in exhasperation and wondered, once again, the fates seemed to have it out for her. She couldn't remember her life as the Princess of Mars further than the destruction of the planet but she was almost positive that she had condoned the sacking of several villages and slavery of it's citizens or something equally horrible.

"Rei, I know this must be hard for you to except but it's the truth. The fact that I deviated from the original plan has changed everything. I apologise that it will effect you in a way that you are unprepaired for but it will happen and there is nothing that any of us can do to change it at the moment."

Rei looked up to Usagi in shock. It was moments like this, randomized and unpredictable moments, that the ditzy blond whos ass she had rescued numerous times before seemed to be possesed by someone far more regal and who seemed to radiate with royal power and baring. It was these random surfacings of the Neo-Queen that had kept Rei loyal all these years. That somehow the blond moments would eventually be the ones to sporadically take place and that ultimatley the blond ones would disappear completly.

It was that Usagi that Rei would die for.

Her Queen. Not the vessal that her Queen was currently occupying.

While she possesed and recognized a certain fondness for the vessal, Rei had figured out her true feelings long ago. Because she was ultimatly a warrior and had a warriors spirit and upbringing programed into her psyche, she was loyal to those that led her and to no one else, not even friends or lovers.

"Selenity-sama...I will accept this if it's what you truly believe but I must express a certain amount of skepticsm over the whole matter. The situation with Ami and Minako was a coincidence and nothing more." Usagi, no...she wasn't Usagi at the moment. Selenity smiled gently.

"There are no coincidences Kasei-hime. There is only Hitsuzen. Destiny, fate and inevitability. They modifiable but inescapable." Rei gritted her teeth, knowing that what her Queen had said was true.

That didn't mean she had to accept it, however...

She stood up abruptly and pushed her chair back loudly.

Turning back to the blond, she saw color flood the previously silver orbs that usually marked to presence of Selenity.

Usagi was back and obviously confused.

Not that that was something unusual and therefor call for alarm.

"Rei-chan? Where are you going? You're not mad are you? I'm sorry that I sorta screwed things up for everyone but I really-"

"Just shut up, Odango-atama."

Rei refused to listen to anymore sputtering apologies and marched out of the cafe in order to prove her point.


In Shibuya, Minako's reaction upon hearing the news that Rei had just heard was simply to raise a finely arched eyebrow and press the back of her hand to Setsuna's forehead, earning a slap on it for her efforts.

"I was only trying to see if you were sick and hallucinating or something. I figured it was either that or you were just screwing with me. So since you're not sick then wheres the camera crew?"

Setsuna frowned and reigned in her valuted willpower to deal with the second most annoying blond in existance.

She hated dealing with the Inner Court but knew that it was necessary. While the latter three tended to annoy her leages less than it's commander and general, she still avoided interacting with them at every possible turn.

"I'm not hallucinating or trying to prank you. Because Usagi-san defied her destiny, it has been rewritten and the fates of everyone closely connected to her have changed as well. It fortunatly doesn't extend to the Outer Court because we have purposly distanced ourselves from her for exactly this reason. Originally, you and the rest of the inner court were to be paired up with the Shittenou, as forces beyond your control forced the two groups to spend more and more time together. This was layed out by the fact that Selena-hime and Mamoru-oji were a couple in the past. Before the Shittenou were taken over by Metallia, they and the inner court senshi paired off. As Usagi has left Mamoru for greener and decidedly more female pastures, you four will follow her and turn to each other. It's the only possible outcome for the situation which your Queen has created. If you're asking if anyone is sick then it should be her you ask." Minako seemed to digest and accept this information, which Setsuna saw as a major miracle that should be reported 'round the Allied Galaxies.

"...Is there anything that we can do to change this?"

"Not a thing, Even getting Usagi back with Mamoru would alter the course of time in some inexplicable way. Theres no way to tell what could happen. You're basically stuck."

Minako frowned and vaguely reminded Setsuna of a consitpated baby.

Her expression cleared after exactly five minutes (Setsuna could tell time to the second), and she sighed.

"Then I suppose I'll have to borrow some of Makoto's yuri manga."

Setsuna blinked.

"That's it? You're not going to try and argue anymore?"

"What difference would it make? You said there was nothing we could do about it so I've resigned myself to it and decided that if I'm do it then I'd better be able to do it well."

Setsuna stared openly.

The logic of blondes truly astounded her...
