Hi! Name's Ambitity, like ambition! Well, for some reason I love to read stories that have something to do with Endymion's generals and the senshi! I'm an amateur at writing stories; I hope it is all right! Enjoy! Please R&R so I can improve this to a very entertaining story.
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and its characters associated with it do not belong to me. I'm just a crazy fan! This is fiction and anything that may seem similar is only of pure coincidence.
Nameless
A glance, a smile, a touch.
I never knew something so simple like that can lead to so many emotions embedded into my heart.
My walk to school started as usual with everybody staring at me with fear or steering clear of me. I was dubbed the school bully ever since elementary. I have gotten into fights ever since my parent's death. I guess most of the anger came from losing them. During the past years, I had physically sprinted above average height, somehow making me more intimidating. I entered the school grounds and stood looking at the junior high school I was going to. This would be my first year here, hope it goes well. A small group of boys stood slightly to my right. They were seniors from what I could tell and very good looking, too. I was at an age when I started checking out the boys. Especially when they were my height, or even better, above my height. One of the seniors fell into that category. I had saw him glance at me the moment I entered the school grounds. He had brown wavy hair slightly longer then the now fashionable short haircuts. Even his bangs were longer. While I stood there admiring him, a flash of brown and white rushed past the group and rammed into me. The impact made me drop my briefcase and I had to steady myself by holding the person.
"Lita! It's so good to see you, again," the once timid girl who she saved from being harassed last year looked at me affectionately.
I smiled and was about to say something when the group of seniors moved near where I was standing. The brown haired senior looked at me at the same moment I did. He smiled at me and picked up my briefcase and wordlessly handed it to me. Slightly dazed by his smile, I took my briefcase and felt the brush of his fingertips against the back of my hand as he let go and turned away to walk with his group into the school.
"He's cute, isn't he?" broke into my daze. I didn't realize I had been holding my breath as well until I said yes. "Come on, we need to get to class!" I was dragged into the building and to class. I did not see him again for the weeks that followed and I had almost forgotten about him. Thoughts of another entered my mind and it seems my friend's as well. He was a classmate of ours and started to spend more time with us. He even asked me to go on dates with him. His name was Freddy. His hair had the same shade of color as the senior and this had come into my mind when I first saw him. Ken my "always will be there" friend was in the same class and friends with Freddy. Ken always being there was true, he was there when I was asked out by Freddy, he was there when I would have arguments with Freddy and then he would comfort me, and finally when Freddy told me directly he wanted to break up with me. I asked him why and he told me that I was not the problem, it just happen that he had liked my friend at the same he liked me but that I was easier to approach. Now that I think about it, only Freddy and Ken seemed to think I was approachable. Unconsciously, I had taken a few steps out in the rain wanting to go after him but I knew it was hopeless. I had suspected and tried to ignore it. I felt as if my heart had been crushed. Ken must have known about the meeting and came to comfort me. I knew his comfort and time will help me ease this pain I was feeling.
"Thank you, Ken. I'm fine, now." I opened my apartment door and put on the lights. I looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry about. I'm a strong girl, remember?! Besides I knew this might happen. At least I still have one other person who doesn't think of me as a bully or an enraged Amazon, but as me. Don't worry. Go home. I'll just cook up something and feel even much better." Ken still looked worried but nodded and left. Depressed, I started watering the many plants in my apartment and then sat down staring at the rain. Shaking my head, trying to shake out of my depression, I got up, determined, and went into the kitchen. Looking around, I realized I was supposed to go grocery shopping today. Sighing, I went to my bedroom to get my money. Before closing my drawer, I noticed the velvet box that had been sitting there for what it seems like forever.
Taking the box, I sat down. This was the first and last gift from a childhood friend given to me in first grade, after almost more than a year when my parents were killed in the plane accident. I met him after a month or so when my parents died. Bullies from my school were picking on me. Hugging my legs, I had slowly gotten angry at the boys as they poked and made fun of me. I had been about to stand up and beat the shit out of them. Before I could do anything, the boys were pulled away. A boy with his back to me told them to pick on someone their own size. He was like a big brother helping out his little sister. The boys ran away since he was much bigger than them. He glanced at me while I sat on the floor looking at my hero. He gave me a smile and helped me get off the floor. The tears that I held for so long even during my parent's funeral had finally come out. I cried into the boy's chest. I think I gave him a shock because he just stood there for a moment before comforting me with his hug. When I finally couldn't cry anymore, he asked if I was all right and I told him about everything that had happened. Seeing that I was better after that, he turned away to leave and pause a few steps away from me, he asked, "Are you coming along or not?" I looked at him in puzzlement. "We wear the same school uniform and we're going to be late if you're just going to stand there." I felt happy and relieved somehow that we were going to the same school. From that day on, we met at the same place everyday and walked to school. I found out he was almost three years older than me, a third grader. He had taken me to many different places and we would talk about what happened in school. It was almost as if my parents had sent me a protector or even a guardian angel. But two years later, this thought came to an end, he told he had to go to America, for how long he didn't know. He gave me this box and made me promise that I won't open it until the day I was as sad as the I found out he was leaving and it was not anytime soon after he left. I was sad and it seems as much as today. But it is for the best that Freddy had told me sooner than later. I caressed the velvet and then opened it. A pair of rose earrings gleamed at me. Sticking to the top of the box was a small piece of paper.
Makoto Kino,
Soon after you wear this, I hope I will see you wearing it, even if it were to be brief. It will be enough for me. Remember my little Amazon, you are as strong as a rose who protects itself with its thorns, yet delicate and sweet just like you. Be yourself....
I opened my umbrella while I tried to carry my grocery bags at the same time. Remembering that letter and wearing these earrings made feel stronger and lighter. Sigh It was sweet. Fumbling, my apples fell from the top of my bag. I watched some of them roll along the wet sidewalk. Holding my umbrella and bags, I picked the ones near me first. I heard someone speaking nearby, "Sir, we need to leave, our flight is in 30 minutes." Someone stepped in front of me. I looked up to see two of my apples in that person's hand. I looked up to see his face and saw that it was the senior I saw the first day I went to junior high.
"Thank you." He stared at me, almost searching worryingly but smiled as if in relief.
"You're wearing the earrings. I'm glad you're fine at least. It seems I have to leave you yet again. But I'll see you again, I promise. Take care." He leaned forward slightly and bending he kissed me. Again! All this happened quickly and I had no time to react or even think. Before I knew it, he was walking to a car with his back to me. Just like the last time. A young boy walking away with the same brown hair but much shorter. He got into the car and said, "I'll see you again, my little Amazon!" He closed the door and I gasped. It was.......
Another car door slammed shut.
"Lita, Lita," a distant call sounded through the trees. Lita woke with a start and stared at the leaves swaying with the wind. The hammock she was sleeping on swung slightly as she sat up. She came to U.S. first to the vacation spot that Ami had rented. Serena came around the cabin and saw her. Serena ran to her and threw herself onto Lita.
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh, ooaff." Running footsteps could be heard as it neared the hammock. Rei, Mina, Ami and Darian arrived to see Serena lying on top of Lita on the other side of the hammock.
"Serena, would you calm down. One of these days you can really hurt one of us with your clumsiness!" Rei fumed, her hands on her hips.
"It's alright, Rei. I mean we haven't seen each other for a week." Lita said, helping Serena and herself up.
Serena humphed at Rei and looked at Lita, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Remember, I am stronger than I look." Lita smiled.
"Oh, this feels so nice," Mina slightly swing the hammock as she slept on top of it. With her eyes closed, she sighed, "Mmm, night, night."
"Mina, don't you dare! There is still a car load of stuff to unload." No response came from Mina. Rei made a frustrated sound. She looked beside her, only to find an empty spot, "Where Ami go?"
"She went to check out the area with her computer." Darian responded.
"Ooh, another one trying to get out of helping." Rei looked at the sky, "It's going to be dark soon, I'll go get her." Rei walked away.
"Um, Rei? Ami went that way." Serena pointed the opposite direction Rei was going.
"I know." Rei walked to edge of the forest, "Oh and thank you, Darian, for volunteering to help us unload the car." With that she disappeared through the trees.
"Don't worry, Darian, I'll help you," Lita said.
"No, it's alright. Why don't you fix something at the kitchen?" Darian said, walking away.
"Alright, let's go, Serena."
Darian paused, 'Darn, she actually listened to me. This is just too much to bring in!' He looked at the loaded trunk and more at the back seat. How Rei and Mina fitted in the back seat looking comfortably on the way here, he had no idea.
Ami entered the forest, typing in her computer furiously. Her brows slowly becoming a small frown as she stared at the computer and the surrounding area. She glanced around and chose a path leading more into a thicker area of trees. A fog rolled in as she walked deeper and uphill. Slowly but maturely the fog was getting heavier by the minute. Looking at her computer, she knew she was close to a discovery. The fog made it more and more difficult to see and slightly harder to breath. Concentrating on her steps and computer, Ami started feeling lightheaded, almost as if she was being drugged. Stumbling slightly, Ami started to put her hand out to feel her way around as the fog got too thick for her to see clearly what was in front of her and felt rocks. Feeling her way and slightly supporting herself, she found herself walking towards a bright area. There didn't seem to be any trees within the area and guessed she had found a cave since it was too quiet. The fog slowly lifted slightly as if to show her something. Only a pool of water was visible. A source of the light came from the pool. Still slightly lightheaded, she walked towards the pool. Standing at the edge, she tried to get a better view at the light in the pool but something else caught her eyes. She looked across the pool to the shadow she glimpsed at the corner of her eyes and there stood a man with a light caramel color uniform, a cape flapping slightly. For a moment the fog almost cleared and she saw a tenderness emitting towards her from the long wavy blond stranger staring at her. His hand lifted slightly towards her. At first glance, the hand looked really smooth and delicate. But upon closer inspection, it was calloused and slightly tanned. Ami had an urge to touch that hand, to finally feel it again. Walking to the edge of the pool, she started to reach out but the fog fell back down heavily and her sight of the stranger was blocked. Not wanting to lose sight of the stranger, she desperately tried to grab onto the hand that had been stretched out to her. She felt herself launch forward and fell into the light in the pool. Her outstretched hand touched the tips of the other hand through the heavy fog.
Splash
The water at first was cold to the touch as she fell face down toward the pool, but got warm as her body flowed down to the center of the pool. Her body felt so heavy that she let her body to just flow. Just feel her element surround her calmed her. The light itself gave a sense of great familiarity.
Flashes of visions of a person's life appeared through Ami's mind. She saw and felt everything that happened, some blur and some vivid.
A hand holding a smaller hand appeared, in the setting of a beautiful golden throne room. A voice was talking, the vision moved along the larger hand holding the smaller hand. It was a beautiful woman with a blurred face but delicate features with shiny gold hair surrounding her. The woman said quite a few things but it had no volume, only the words "You shall stay here, my dear child, and become a man of honor with our prince," was heard.
Then a flash of a near death appeared. A sword came very close to the vision as if to cut the viewer's head off. Then a slender hand holding a sword appeared. A black haired young man sweating bear down upon the sword being held against him. The vision with the slender hand holding the sword in front strained against the young man. Heavy breathing seem to only come from the person holding against the sword. A voice from the distance said, "Remember you don't have to use brute force to win a fight or to save yourself, use your wits and surroundings." Not daring to take his eyes off, he remembered the training that he had in Mercury. With a quick motion he moved out under the sword and the young man stumbled. With that one motion he was behind the young man and was about ready to aim at the his neck except a sword point was aimed at his midsection. "Not bad. Now again." A young man with long blond white hair about 20 stepped behind the black haired young man, who smiled up at him.
Another vision appeared. This time it was in a world under the water where above only a handful of dry lands with nothing on it existed. Its world and growth only existed under the water. The kingdom and its cities existed in protected shields that allowed them to breathe underwater. An image of the back of a short blue haired mermaid-like maiden appeared in front of him as he swam with the castle's guards to the city. The maiden's gracefulness and beauty remained in his mind as he wander down the halls for the yearly stay that he had have for the past seven years. Except he had arrived earlier than before and expected to meet one of the greatest warrior that Mercury has produced. A warrior who during his visits had gone to another training ground and was a secret of its place.
A ball was being held in the Mercurian Kingdom. Masks were on and the grace produced by the Mercurians was something he would never used to since when he first came he had had a difficult time walking. It had been the same as walking underwater except there always seemed to be a current going against him. He had only been able to walk at a comfortable pace recently but not with the beauty and ease that the Mercurians have. Looking around, he saw yet again the same back of a blue-haired girl. He tried to walk as fast as he can but he was only able to keep her in sight. Finally the girl stopped at a nearby balcony, which overlooked the rest of the underwater cities. He approached to her and spoke a few words. The girl turned and smiled at him shyly then gave a small nod. Leading to the dance floor, he led her to several dances and kept talking to her. In his mind, she was a goddess. Then the time of meeting the greatest Mercurian warrior had arrived. The Mercurian King gave a nod to the girl next to him. The girl gave her excuses and went to the king. With puzzlement, he waited for a man of old age yet sturdy enough to still fight to come out. The King said something and with shock he watched the king introduced the blue-haired girl as his daughter and also with pride one of the greatest warrior in Mercury. The girl took off her mask as the King announced, "My daughter, Ami."
Ami who had been observing these visions was shocked to see herself. She looked the same yet different. In disbelief she realized she was reliving the past inside another person's memory with her in it.....
