Author Notes: I got the idea for this fic by reading a fic in another fandom, however the plots are going to be COMPLETELY different. Totally and utterly. The only thing thats basically is the same in this fic (and the one that gave me the idea) is the sister/sister relationship (that is seen in this prologue).

This will be a Usagi/Mamoru fic ^__^. AU, and in the past.

Silent Requiem By Kafe

PROLOGUE - [ sing me a song? ]

Usagi watched, eyes downcast as to not alert anyone to her staring, as her little sister ran through the gardens laughing and giggling as the servants pampered her, and gave her small treats.

Celestial, known as Celest, was the Moon Kingdoms favorite play toy. She was the youngest daughter of the Queen and truly a strong sprit. She was only 4 years old and filled with light, a natural leader they all said. Her beautiful long amber hair was filled with waves, and her eyes where a rich sky blue. Everyone was convinced that she was to be a pure beauty when she grew up. A pure and utter beauty, as the men were fond of saying. She always wore the cutest dresses, and it seemed that no matter what colors she was put in she always looked good in them.

Celest was a total opposite from her dower, gloomy older sister, who's hair was turning a washed out white color and who's eyes a little to purple for any ones liking. In fact it was a rumor around the kingdom that the oldest girl was possessed by some demon.

Amethyst eyes where a sign of the devil after all.

Usagi had found out early on that no color looked good on her body. Black made her look pale, white made her look flushed, red clashed with her skin tones horribly. Even though those were not her words, but those of the women who dressed her every morning, she couldn't help but believe them.

The attention, or lack of, never bothered the 7 year old girl. She never wanted to be in the spotlight anyway. She liked being in the shadows and have time to herself. She could learn her music (the harp), read books, and explore the places. All without anyone bothering her in the slightest.

Most people of the kingdom thought the older girl had feelings of resentment towards her younger sister, which couldn't be more false. Usagi (Who's formal title was Serenity) loved her sister more then anything in the world. She would cut off her arm if it would please the little girl. Once when they had been at a formal ball, Celest had tripped on the way in embarrassing herself in front of the whole court. Usagi had waited only a few minuets before she purposely caught her dress on one of the tables, making herself tumble down to the floor.

She had been the laughing stock of the whole kingdom, at only age 7.

But it hadn't matter.

Because afterwards Celest had given her a huge smile. Telling her a silent thank you.

Whenever Celest would mess up Usagi would mess up worse. Once everyone in the court would see how badly Usagi would mess up, they always seemed to forget that moments earlier her sister had been fallen.

Usagi sighed at the memory before going back to drinking her milk and carefully watching her younger sister.

"Usaaaaagi come plaaay with meee!!" Usagi lifted her head up, looking at her younger sibling with a small smile on her face.

"What would you have me do?" Celest looked to be thinking about it for awhile before a beaming smile came on her face.

"Come skip rocks on the water with me!"

Seeing her sister make a nodding movement with her head, Celest giggled and rushed off towards her destination.

Usagi had let out a small sigh before she picked herself off of her chair and walked slowly, following her running sister to the pond that was the center of the garden.

After five minuets Usagi had finally managed to get to where the pond was located. The sun was shining and she had expected to see her sister laughing and skipping stones. However what she was met with was a pouting little girl.

"You take FOREVER Usaggiiiii! I was here a long time ago! You need to learn how to go faster."

Usagi only tilted her head sideways for a brief moment before reaching down and picking up a flat rock off of the ground. Celest, who had received no answer let out a little 'hemp' noise and quickly threw the rock out at the pond.

4 skips.

Usagi bit her lip, she knew that she could easily get 7 or 8 skips out of the rock that was firmly implanted in her hand. She closed her eyes before releasing the stone over the pond.

3 skips.

Celest let out a joyous giggle before picking up the next rock. The servants who had been watching the children rolled their eyes, it appeared that the older girl was just no match for her younger sister.

Usagi just allowed a small smile to form on her face once more.

She loved to hear her sister laugh.

TBC?
