Disclaimer: I do not own the original characters of Sailormoon. :]
I hope this is not a typical/betrayal fic because it mixes alternate universe with the original spin off of Sailormoon. I'll make sure to bring fresh new ideas to the table ^^ and the story will not always stay in the past with flashbacks (it'll only refer back to the past for only the first couple of chapters. CHEERS
Chapter 1
'Bills, bills, and bills' I thought as I quietly rummaged through my mail and this became my daily routine for the last seven years of my life. Not even single one of the letters that I received included a happy, friendly letter neither from a dear companion nor from a colleague of mine. However, over the past seven years I got used to it; constantly emptying my pockets to pay up the bills for my rent, gas, and electricity.
I slowly dragged my heavy feet up the creaking stairs to my small but homey apartment. Once I got in, I tossed the house keys aside and threw myself onto my small bed.
'It's been seven years…' I thought to myself. 'Seven years since I saw my family, friends, and Mamoru.' I closed my eyes and ignored the stabbing pain that I felt inside.
"Shit," I made sure to leave everything behind when they all left me; when I had left them. Angry and frustrated for allowing such petty emotions come over me, I went to the kitchen and grabbed open the refrigerator's door. Poking my head inside the almost empty containment, I took out a can of beer and sat down next to my bed.
***seven years ago****
Mamoru Chiba…seven years ago he was once my lover, but the happiness was short lived. Tired of being tied down to destiny he ended our relationship. He wanted freedom and I gave it to him. He didn't and had never loved me for Usagi Tsukino, but rather stayed because of our past lives as Serenity and Endymion. I remember how the rejection felt…that day…
Our relationship wasn't stable up to the point where it was awkward for us to hang out together. But I didn't mind because back then I truly believed that we will be able to make this relationship work out for the better. However, that day…we got into an argument when he came back from his work at the hospital. It started with a petty fight and prolonged into a heated argument involving our destiny that was set in stone. I really didn't want to ask him…I really didn't want to…I was scared of the outcome, of his answer…
"Tell me then…do you love me?" I asked him. He didn't answer. "Do you or do you not love me Mamoru?!"
"I...I don't know." It was a no. He didn't love me. It finally sunk in, it was over. I smiled sadly and nodded my head.
"You should've told me this a long time ago, Mamoru. Then, we wouldn't have wasted our time and giving me false hopes for the future." I took off his promise ring from my finger and gently placed it onto his table. A promise that couldn't be kept. And that day I had cut the strings of fate, our bond, so that he would no longer be tied down to a destiny that he did not wish to have. It was a burden for him, but happiness for me. I walked out of his door.
****************
I looked up at my clock as I slowly drank the carbonated drink. 'Another two hours before work.' I leaned against my bed and continued to drink my beer. My thoughts flew to my fellow scouts…and out of all those days I just had to feel lonely and think about my past.
"What a crappy birthday." I muttered. Yep. Another crappy birthday for Usagi Tsukino. "Happy twenty-fourth birthday, Usagi." And my thoughts once again drifted to past…
To be continued…
