Never Again 2
Written by TsukasaFanBOF
Prologue
Thunder shook the house and made the windows clatter. Lightening struck just outside the window and left a blackened scorch mark on the lawn below. Rain pounded against the glass like fingernails clawing to get inside. Usagi sat up in her bed with her legs pulled tightly to her chest and her head resting firmly against her knees. Her hands were held together with a vice-like grip making her knuckles go white. Her blond hair fell softly around her, and was probably the only part of her that wasn't tensed up to the maximum extent.
I hate storms…She thought meaningfully to herself, while willing the storm to go away and waiting to see if it listened. CRASH. No such luck. She could always use magic to make it so the storm passed, but Usagi wanted to live her life as normal as she possibly could.
You see, awhile ago, not too long, but definitely not recently, Usagi had a run in with this "witch" for lack of a better term. She had long red hair and mesmerizing green eyes. Well anyways, this witch tried to kill Usagi, when Usagi tried to transform into Sailor Moon her moon crystal was struck with a magical attack. This resulted in Usagi being unable to transform into Sailor Moon, but it also had an adverse affect on Usagi herself. Since the crystal was originally constructed from a tear that fell from the moon princesses eyes the crystal was literally a part of Usagi. So when the crystal became struck by the attack Usagi, also known as Princess Serenity, absorbed the magic that was in that attack. Therefore, giving Usagi magical powers.
Usagi had to teach herself how to control the powers, because they seemed to be connected to her emotions. Especially when she got angry. She found she could control the elements; fire, air, water, earth, and lightening.
Soon after inheriting this new found power, her one true love turned on her. Mamoru, also known as Prince Endymion. He tricked Usagi and tried to kill her. Fortunately for Usagi her best friend Minako burst in at just the right moment. They've been next to inseperable since. Mamoru disappeared for awhile after that. He then reappeared later when Usagi had finally learned to control the powers she had. Usagi showed Mamoru a thing or two this time around. Usagi had made some new friends too.
Alex. Soft blonde hair, sky blue eyes, baby face, pouty lips, and a surfer; not the type who surfs on water, but a space surfer. A space surfer basically drifts from planet to planet and lives the way they want to. They do what they want when they want. They aren't usually the trustworthy type because of the fact that they basically look out for themselves and no one else. Alex was different though, he spent a lot of time trying to please the people around him. His brother was a different story though.
Alan. Straw-like brown hair, dark blue eyes, rugged face, a little facial hair, small lips. Alan was Alex's brother. He was a surfer as well. He fit the bill of what a surfer is supposed to be. So Usagi doesn't exactly get along with him very well. It doesn't help that Usagi basically blames him for the death of her sister.
Selena. Long strawberry blonde hair, sky blue eyes, pale skin, small lips, and an hourglass shape. She was also Usagi's sister. She didn't know her for too long, but the time that she did get to know her she found that she was quite fond of having a sibling. At least, a sibling who was reincarnated as well. Selena was Usagi's younger sister, but you wouldn't know it by the way she talked to her. Selena died shortly after revealing herself to Usagi. She was riding on the back of Alan's board during a battle with the "witch". Usagi had shouted for them to move out of the way of an attack and Alan moved without warning Selena. This resulted in Selena falling off of the board and straight into the attack.
Then there was the mysterious Stranger. He had caught Usagi from a fall and insisted on her going somewhere safe. Usagi refused to leave her friends in danger. The Stranger then kissed her firmly on the lips and somehow induced her into an unconscious state. When she awoke he was gone and everyone was safe.
Around that time Usagi was also having to fight off a darker persona that seemed to have manifested itself in the deepest reaches of Usagi's mind itself. This dark persona took over Usagi at one point and was determined to kill Mamoru. The trigger was the fact that Usagi had lost someone very near and dear to her heart. Seiya, also known as Sailor Starfighter.
Alex was able to keep Usagi grounded though, and as a result they too became next to inseperable. In fact Usagi was beginning to grow fond of him as of late. Not that she would ever tell him that. It wasn't that she didn't want to, it's just that she was afraid of the consequences. After Mamoru had tried to kill Usagi the first time she had made a deal with some untrustworthy people. She agreed to never fall in love again, she didn't want to deal with the pain of it anymore. Unfortunately, they didn't make it so she was unable to fall in love, only that if she did there would be a consequence.
The school year had ended as quietly as it could have and summer was coming to an end shortly. Usagi wasn't looking forward to beginning the school year in the next month. However, she didn't care for these summer storms either. Surprisingly enough though, the storm wasn't what was worrying her the most. What she was really worried about and losing sleep over, was the fact that she was going to the movies tomorrow. With Alex, on a date…
