Okay everyone I am back with a new passion but alas a new story. This is a . . . wait if I tell you then it will spoil the plot for you. LOL! Doesn't matter anyway this chapter sorta gives away what crossover this will be. Well anyway! I'm just going to warn you right now that my grandmother is going into the hospital for a hysterectomy and so I'm left working the business and might or might not get a lot of time to work on my stories. It depends on how much free time I get. Also I have the next chapter for NO ONE LIKE ME ready to upload after I go over it a time or two for any eras and I will be updating COME soon as well. I also plan on redoing SERENITY'S MISFORTUNE in the near future so look out for that. However, unless I see review, at least 10 or more per chapter, I won't be reviewing at all got it? Good, now let's get down to the story.

"Serena!" a shout came from behind a girl with blond hair pulled up into two twin pigtails with buns atop of them.
Serena stopped in her tracks as she turned to look at one of her best's friends running after her, "Hey Mol!"
Molly, or Mol as Serena called her, stopped to catch her breath as she caught up to her friend, "Jeeze, Serena, you're getting to fast for you're own good. All those jogs to school to make it on time are paying off!"
Serena threw her friend a confused look, "What do you mean?"
"I mean Serena I was talking to Melvin one minute and in the next two minutes you've made it all the way up here! Not even some of the track members could run this far as fast as you just walked it." Molly said as she stood up and took a deep breath.
"I don't know, maybe you and Melvin were talking longer then you thought," Serena stated before she shrugged the idea off, "Let's not worry about it and go to the arcade. I haven't seen Andrew in forever!"
"Sure let's go!" Molly shouted as she and Serena headed off to their favorite place to hang.
"Welcome to the Crown Arcade!" Andrew's voice greeted the two new comers as he continued to write down the order of a customer.
"Well isn't this just nice. Won't even look at your favorite customer when you greet her? I'm hurt, Andy!" Serena said as she made her way to the bar followed by a smiling Molly.
"Sorry, Serena, I didn't know it was you. You haven't been coming in a lot lately!" Andrew said as he made himself busy by preparing Serena and Molly's usual.
"I know and I'm so sorry! Will you ever forgive me?" Serena questioned as she sent him a huge puppy dog pout face.
Andrew sat the two girls' milkshakes in front of them and laughed lightly as he ruffled Serena's hair, "You know I can't stay mad at you Sere!"
"Hey!" Serena cried as she put her hands over her now messed up hair, "No touchy the hair!" she said playfully as she took one last sip from her milkshake and headed off to the restroom to fix her hair.
"So what have you been up to Molly?" Andrew questioned as he turned in the other customers order.
"Nothing . . . . . "
Serena closed the bathroom door behind her and walked in front of the mirror to see the damage done. Nothing much but her 'buns' had fallen out of their place and it looked kind of weird with one hanging half-way decently and the other on the side of her head. Laughing lightly, she pulled out the pony-tail holders and ran her fingers through her hair. Finally figuring she had pulled all of the tangles out, Serena began to put her hair back up but stopped as a dizzy wave washed over her.
"What the?" Serena thought as she leaned on the sink for support, "Not again . . "
Serena's head felt like it was going to explode. She closed her eyes tightly trying to make the pain go away but it wasn't working. Her whole body felt like it was going through a horrible change. Just like when she sprouted her wings when transforming. Except this felt like her entire being was morphing and changing into something, something that scared her. Serena gasped when she opened her eyes to stare down at what were once perfectly manicured nails that now turned out to be claws.
"Why does this keep happening?" Serena thought to herself as she looked her hands over, "Why won't it stop?"
Serena wanted to scream but she knew it would only cause Andrew and Molly to rush in to check on her. That was something she didn't want to happen. What would they think to see her with claws? Serena tried to even out her breathing but it wasn't working so well. Closing her eyes she slowly pushed back her hair and leaned her head back. Maybe that would help her calm down but nope. After a couple of minutes, Serena lowered her head down and opened her eyes to look at herself in the mirror.
"What the hell?" Serena thought, not even caring about the language she was using, "H-How?"
Serena's clawed hands went to move to her ears that were once perfectly rounded but now were pointed at the end and resembled that of an elf's ear. At least, that's what the elf ears in the Christmas movies looked like.
'What's happening to me? Why. . . . What . . . . Oh God!' Serena thought as she slipped to the ground. Hugging herself tightly she began to rock back and forth in hopes of all of this being a dream. Biting her lower lip lightly she whimpered when a sharp piercing pain shot through her.
This time she was almost too afraid to look in the mirror that seemed to mock her from above. The first couple of times a 'change' had happened her nails had merely changed into claws. However, this time her ears had changed as well. Was she becoming a beast of some sort? A werewolf maybe? Forcing herself to stand, she wiped the blood off of her lower lip and opened her mouth and there she was met by the sight of fangs.
"Serena are you okay you've been in there forever!" Molly's voice cried out to her as she knocked on the door.
Panick rose within Serena as she remembered leaving her two friends outside. How long had she been in there?
"Crystal . . Please help me. . . "Serena begged as she resumed her rocking position on the floor.
"That's it Serena I'm coming inside right now!" Molly said as the sound of a key working to unlock the door was heard.
Serena squeezed her eyes shut as she mentally cried out for her Silver Crystal's help. To Serena, timed seemed to have stopped as she awaited Molly to storm in and scream at the sight of her.
"Serena what are you doing there on the floor?" Molly questioned her friend in a worried tone.
"Huh?" Serena questioned. She was confused didn't Molly see it? Looking down at her hands, Serena sighed in relief as she noticed her claws were gone. Her hands shot back to her ears and her whole body relaxed when she felt rounded tips versus the pointed ones she had previously owned.
"Serena . . . you're acting weird . . . are you sure you are okay?" Molly questioned as she held her hand out for her friend to take.
Serena nodded lightly as she took the offered hand and allowed Molly to pull her up, "It's just the heat getting to me I think."
Molly wanted to question her friend further but at the look Serena sent she decided it would be best to wait until another time, "Well why don't you head home and study for that Trigonometry test tomorrow?"
Serena groaned, "Why did you have to remind me?"
"Because if not you'd fail and have the wrath of your parents to deal with!" Molly stated truthfully.
"You're right!" Serena sighed as she grabbed her milkshake on the way out, "BYE ANDREW!"
"Bye Serena!" Andrew said as he waved goodbye to his favorite customer.
"Hey Andrew," Molly called as she sat back in her seat and sipped on her milkshake again, "Is it just me or is Serena acting weird."
Andrew gave her a questioning look, "Well now that you mention it she seems like she's more exhausted then usual. Come to think of it Rei has been acting like that to except she's always having severe headaches verses exhaustion."
"I wonder what's wrong with them . . ." Molly questioned silently as she looked on where Serena had left.
"Sacred Fire I call upon you!" a Raven haired woman with purple like eyes called out as she sat on her knees. Her hands brought in front of her face with her fingers woven in an intricate pattern. Sweat beaded down her face as she sat in front of a huge fire. Sutra's surrounded the room showing it belonged in a shrine of some sort.
"Show me the answers!" the girl cried out as her hand and fingers began to move into various shapes. Suddenly her hands fell into a certain position and her eyes widened as she cried out, "SHOW ME!"
The Sacred Fire flared up with intensity that almost blinded Rei and forced her to shield her eyes. Once the fire's light was bearable to Rei's eyes, she lowered her hand and stared deep into the fire searching for the answers it held for her.
Rei sat there for some time and nothing showed, 'Why did the Sacred fire react the way it did if it didn't have an answer?'
Rei was about to scream in frustration when an image, faint image, appeared in the flames and began to become clearer very slowly. Rei held her breath as she waited for the image to clear enough to where she could make out what it was the fire was trying to show her.
"M-mm . . ." Rei's eyes filled with tear's at the image shown to her. Unconsciously her hand reached out to caress the image in front of her, "M-mmm- momma!" As soon as the image came it changed. "NO!" Rei cried out as she tried to grasp the image but stopped in fear of what she saw. Her mother's image was replaced by a younger picture. Her mother when she was young and then there was her father right beside her. "Papa?"
Rei fell backward out of her original sitting position. What did her parents have to do with her headaches? What did it have to do with her forgetting parts of the past? What was going on?
The image stayed for a while and Rei watched as her parents conversed up until some stranger showed up. Who was he? What was he?
Rei leaned closer trying to get a better view of the person she thought to be a girl. As if on cue the sacred fire zoomed in on the image. It wasn't a girl but a boy with long silver hair. He was wearing an old style kimono and a baseball cap over his head. Rei watched as the man came closer to her mother and her father slowly disappeared. As if her father had never existed in her mother's life.
"How?" Rei mumbled as she stared wide eyed as her mother kissed the silver haired man, "NO!"
Rei suddenly felt an immense pain engulf her body but the worst was in her head. A pounding sensation erupted and the few memories she had of her parents together began to fade. "What's happening?" was the only thing that came out of her mouth before she fell into the darkness.
Pluto's gaze hardened as she looked into the present. Seeing Serena's happenings at the Crown and Rei's breakdown at the shrine was a sign of foreboding. The worst thing was Pluto didn't foresee this and not knowing what was going to happen wasn't something Pluto enjoyed. "I better have a look into the past!"
Pluto lifted her staff and waved it over the misty clouds that allowed her to see into the timeline, "Show me the past!"
The mist swirled several times but didn't show anything. Pluto's anger grew steadily as she tried once again to see into the past. She had never tried to get to that part of the past before but what was so different from the rest of the timeline? Trying once more, Pluto was greeted with a crackling sound from the misty mirror before it totally engulfed itself.
"Where did it go?" Pluto questioned her only source of viewing.
"This can't be happening! Without that I can't view the timeline!" Pluto cried out in frustration as she made her way to the time gates. Using her staff as her key she tried to open the giant doors but the door wouldn't budge.
"No!" Pluto whispered in shock. She was stuck in the misty darkness without anyway to see the past, present, or future, or to get to the past, present, or future.
Pluto, the ever calm and quiet one with the most patience, cracked under what was happening. She fell to her knees in confusion at the irony of her situation.
The future was changing, she could feel it, and she could do nothing to stop it. Pluto, the 'puppeteer' that was supposed to make sure everyone else followed the steps laid out for them, had lost. She was no longer in control. Whatever was causing the time stream to not obey her now had control. The world she knew could very well end.
Okay as you have probably guessed this is a Usagi and Rei centered fic. I know not a lot like me considering I'm not a huge fan but hey. . I just thought of this out of nowhere. I will tell you that I haven't decided the pairings yet but I do have an idea who's not going to be paired up. I'm definitely NOT PAIRING REI WITH SESSHOMARU. I'd rather him be alone because I'd like Usagi/Serena/Serenity with him or him with no one. Sorry for fans of that pairing but you can vote who else you want her paired with. I'm not sure if I'm going to pair Serena with Sesshomaru because I want to try something different. It just depends on the reviews you give me so REVIEW.
