A small girl ran down the road before jumping behind the bushes of the park. She could not go back. They would take her to her step dad's house again. He was mean, never letting her do anything; his new wife was just as mean behind doors. She always hit her with random kitchenware. If someone came in, she would be the perfect wife and mother. She was the only one who really knew what had killed her Tousan, a drunk driver. Her mother remarried when she was still young. Her mother was pregnant when her step dad had met someone else. Her mom passed away in childbirth. The baby did not make it either. She was stuck with her stepfather. He quickly married1 another woman and had a son. They named him Shingo.
The small girl did not want them to change her name. Her mother named her Serenity Himeneko for a reason. They wanted to name her Usagi Tsukino. She did not want their surname so she ran. She did not know anyone here in Juuban but she knew she would die before living that life.
She fell asleep in that bush, not knowing what would happen that night. It would change her destiny forever. If she had of been caught, she would have had to live in that house, always placing a mask of happiness on. Failing her test grades. Later, she would become the famous Sailor Moon. Falling in love with a past memory that was a lie. Always being not truly happy. Instead, a strange rumble awaked her.
"What is that?" She asked slurred from her sleep. Looking up from her bush, she saw a dark cloud of smoke rise while the earth shook. The girl stayed still remembering once when there was an earthquake. She was safe where she was. She watched as four men arose with a tall reddish-brown haired woman. The woman looked around, her red eyes glaring at everything. Serenity ducked quickly as not to be seen.
"This world has changed this past millennium. I will need to gather energy from many to regain to what we once were. You four will do that for me. Now, Let us find a strong base that these mortals will never find. Jadeite, I want you to stay behind and collect energy. We will need it in order to build a castle." The man to the farthest right with broad shoulders, and short blonde hair nodded. "Yes my Queen." He stated.
As the Queen flew off into the distance, the blonde man stayed behind stretching. "Man is it bad to wake up from such a long nap." The man cracked his knuckles and neck. He started to walk a bit, and then started to run, testing his still tired muscles. He missed the moon kingdom where he would chase the princess around for hours upon hours. He missed her laughter. He was her uncle after all. He hated when that silly Prince stole her from her true love. The Prince of the Black moon, Prince Diamond.
He jumped over a large bush catching a glimpse of golden blonde hair. He landed and looked back into it. "Who goes there, Show yourself," He yelled! The timid blonde-haired girl stepped out. K… Kobinwa. Atashi wa S…Sere…" She never finished as he whispered "Serenity-Sama." She looked up amazed and confused. "How d… did you know my name?" He stared at her for a few minutes until he enveloped her into a large hug. "Oh Serenity! You were reborn! Which means so are the others. Have you met Mars, Mercury, or Endemion?" The blonde man was worried. She was alive now when his Queen who he sworn loyalty to in order to keep her away from that tricky Prince was re-awakened. Serenity was careful. Should she tell him yes, so he would leave her alone, or say no? Choosing that lying was horrid, she spoke up. "Aie. I do not know the planets as anything more than rocks and gases. Endemion, Isn't that the name of a legendary Prince of Earth?" Jadeite was relieved. She believed it to be all a legion. "Where are your parents? You are much too young to be here alone." She looked away. "I am alone. My Kaasan and Tousan are dead. Only non-blood is alive. No one wants me." The girl started tearing up. "Rena, you are never alone. Would you believe I am your Uncle?" She looked up studying him. "We both have blonde hair and blue eyes…" She nodded a yes. "Would you mind me watching over you?" She shook her head no.
"Alright my little Rena, First though I need some grand energy, any suggestions?" The girl could think of a few. "There was a bad man hurting a woman down the road. He is wanted for hurting a lot of people…" Perfect, thought the man. He could be a hero in her eyes this way. They started walking to the alley as a man had a knife to a woman. "Give me your money!" The man yelled. Jadeite ran up behind the man, and grabbed his neck, draining him of most his energy. He stored it away, then grabbed Serenity and transported to his Queen.
"Rena, stay hidden. I don't want her to see you just yet." Jadeite walked into the cavern where his queen sat. "Did you get anything Jadeite?" The man nodded. "Yes my Queen. Also, if I were to raise a child to love you and to obey you would you approve?" The queen narrowed her eyes. "What are you getting at? Don't tell me you were foolish on Earth already?" The man shook his head. "I mean if I were to find a child could I raise her myself as my child? I would raise her to be a loyal citizen of yours. I would not let her interfere with any of our plans. I promise!" The Queen thought and finally nodded. "So long as you know that should anything happen she will be just as everyone else."
"Rena! Come in here please?" The small girl walked in. "Yes? You called?" He knelt down. "This is Queen Beryl. You should always address her as My Queen or Queen Beryl. Always respect. Is that understood?" The girl looked up at the woman, and then stepped forward. She looked down at her dress quickly and grabbed her skirt. "Kobinwa my Queen. Thank you for letting stay with Jadeite. I hope to meet your approval." The queen looked taken aback. She walked towards the girl. "My child, did Jadeite teach you what to do?" The girl shook her head. "No ma'am. But I read in books about Queens and Kings and Princes. I know to always show respect." The Queen was happy with her response. "You are smart. You also look young. How old are you and when is your birth date?"
The girl glanced up. I am four and a half! My birth date is July 15th. What is yours my Queen?" She looked odd. "I have lost it over time. I have none. "That's not very fair. May I give you one then?" The Queen giggled, and nodded. "I choose tomorrow then! December 9th!" Thinking it was cute, the Queen went back to work making a castle. A room appeared for each general. A purple room for the man- woman with long blonde hair. A green room for the brunette with long hair named Nephrite. Jadeite had an adjoining room with Serenity. His was deep blue as hers was silver with a pink hue.
The next day Serenity woke up before the sun rose. She quickly dressed in her best dress, and ran to the new throne room. She used her secret powers to make a banner stating "Happy Birthday Queen Beryl!" She also went to the newly formed kitchen restocked. She took out flour, eggs, sugar, dye, bowls, and spoons. She made herself an apron and started working. She baked a cake with two layers. She made it a vanilla cake with chocolate icing. She made a décor with sugar. The décor was a lily. Purple. She put eight candles on it to make a smiley face. About the time she stood back in awe, Jadeite ran in looking worried.
"What in the… Rena, what are you doing?" He could not help but giggle as the small girl was covered in white flour and a bit of icing in her hair. Her face had a smear of sugar on it while she had a huge grin. "I made a birthday cake. I wanted to surprise my Queen…" Jadeite laughed. "Let's clean you up little one." He concentrated and she became clean as her apron appeared on the hook by the door. "Let's go give it to her." Serenity grabbed the cake, walked up beside Jadeite, and started towards the throne room. They caught her about the time she walked in. "Wait! Please My Queen." Called Serenity. She blinked as the candles lit up. "Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Queen Beryl, Happy birthday to you," sang the child.
The queen smiled, bent down and blew the candles out. She then looked back seeing into the throne room. The Queen was at joy at seeing the banner. "Thank you child. This makes me so happy!" She hugged the child surprising all the generals.
Years later, a blonde teen ran down the road for school. "Oh… Why wont Jade let me just fade to school. Then I wouldn't always be late." She saw a couple of kids beating up a little cat. She ran over scaring the kids away. "Hey little kitty. Are you ok? Here. Let me remove that bandage." She removed the bandage on her forehead. "Oh no! I'm more late now!" She ran faster as she hurried. She finally gave up and transported herself into the school bathroom. Her uncle never had to know.
As she stepped into her class, the teacher handed her a failed test. "Usagi! If you were at class on time and paid any attention, you would not have this happen! I need a parent teacher conference tomorrow after school." Serenity looked appalled. "Haruna-Sensie, may I speak to you outside?" The teacher stepped out with her. Serenity glared up at the woman. "You know I don't have a parent. You also know that my guardians' are very rarely home. I also live the farthest from any students. It takes me longer and you know that the trains do not run before seven. I am on it every morning. Would you rather me stay over at night? You also know I take a re-test and make a 100. I do that in order for people not to know but you are taking it too far. Do so again and I will have your job." The teacher looked away.
That afternoon Serenity went to the arcade like normal. She played her favorite game, Sailor V, and then walked off to her so-called house. Uncle Jade bought it so she could go to school like a normal child. Over the years he along with her other Uncles taught her to control her powers. She still would find a new power every now and again but it was rare these days. That was when she closed her eyes and pictured her room. The silvery-pink walls that seemed to sparkle. The dark pink curtains with a canopy bed. Her bedspread was silver with pink trim. Her furniture was a Victorian silver iron. She lay down.
She released her hair from her normal style letting it cascade around her. That is how everyone loved it. Zoicite was adamant that he did her hair for everything. Feeling the need to be pampered, she asked a youma to ask for Zoicite. After a moment, there was a knock. "Come in!" Serenity called. "Hey Uncle Zoey. My hair needs done." Zoicite giggled at the girl as he walked up to her. She was perched in her chair as her hair laid in waves behind her. None of her "family" had let her cut it. Every time they tried, it just grew longer faster. Zoicite picked up the brush, and proceeded to stroke through her long blonde hair. As he asked how school went. She sighed Trying to think of exactly what to say so no one would get harmed.
