I Will Return

A Sailor Moon Fanfic

Written by Ice Phoenix

I know it's been done sooo many times before, but personally, these kinds of fics are my favorites. Anywho, here's my own Serena-run-away version of SMR, and yup, you guessed it; this is the prequel to MoonHawk. Hopefully, this isn't too Cliché, I try to make my fanfics as orginal as possible. Also, I have absolutely no idea of what Usagi's mother's name is; hence, I call her... *glances at fic* Irene... Kinda flat I know, but heck, as soon as I can find what her name is, I'll change it ^^

So, here it is: the first chapter of I Will Return

~*~RC~*~

"Usagi- I just don't love you anymore." Mamoru's harsh tone struck through to the bone, chilling the schoolgirl standing before him.

Usagi backed away, eyes full of tears "Mamoru- what- what do you mean? We're destined!"

"I want my own life Usagi. One without you."

She turned from him, fists clenched as tears spilled "Fine Mamoru." Usagi whispered, starting to walk away before breaking into a faster pace

I wish I didn't have to do this; but I do... Silently, Mamoru walked down the street, shoulders hunched and hands shoved deep in pockets, as his only love ran the other way blindly.

Usagi's mother looked up. "Usagi- what's the matter?"

"I have decided," her daughter announced, wiping her face "I'll come with you to your new job."

"But- are you sure? It's all the way over in Australia-" Irene protested, turning from her cooking.

"I want to go."

"You won't be able to come back for a whole year!"

"I am going with you." Usagi stated firmly.

"..." Irene was at loss for words. Since when had her daughter been so determined, so stubborn?

She looked to Usagi again, seeing the depth of grim promise in her daughter's sapphire eyes. Relenting, she sighed. "Very well. Go pack- I'll tell your father and your brother."

"Thankyou so much!" Usagi swamped her mother in hugs, before racing up the stairs and into her room eagerly

"...I know you think me a klutz, a ditzy teen who is only reliable in diehard situations. But I can change, and I will. I, Tsukino Usagi, Senshi of the Moon, Princess of the Silver Millenium and future Queen of Crystal-Tokyo, swear this by the Imperium Crystal. In exactly one year's time to this very day, you will see me again. Until then; do not worry, and do not search.

I will return.

Usagi."

Rei looked up at her friends, pure shock mirroring her face. "What have we done?"

Makoto was already on the phone. "Mr. Tsukino?"

I know it's short, like so many other chapters... *shrugs* If you're wondering why I chose Australia, it's 'cause of many reasons. One, I am Australian. Two, half the fics I read, Usagi takes off somewhere to a place in America I've never heard of, and have no idea where it is. New York's too common, as is England or Paris. Therefore, you'll see in later chapters where she ends up. Trust me; you'll know it. Either that, or you weren't listening to/watching the last Olympics (2000)

Ja!
