Author's Note: This is my newest story. I probably won't finish the others I started. I have new inspiration and I'm way older. I do hope you find this story as wonderful as I find it. I've been thinking about fanfiction for a long time and wonder if I should quit, but I didn't. I got inspiration for this story after finally watching Sailor Moon Stars on Youtube. Took me 10 years to see it, but yeah this story takes time post-SM Stars, a year after the battle with Galaxia. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: No, unfortunately for the world, I don't own Sailor Moon. I don't own any of it and I take no credit for the characters and such.


Leave Me Breathless

Chapter 1

"…Life is wonderful. So do they say. They say life is wonderful because the world is in order. They say life is wonderful because they are happy. They say life is wonderful because the world is happy. I say nothing. I say nothing because I disagree. I disagree with the statement 'Life is wonderful.'. My name is Tsukino Usagi. I am almost 17 years old. A year ago, I looked up into the moonlight and proclaimed that I was a champion of love and justice. That year was magical. Nearly a year later, I am hardly the same person. I hardly feel the same way. I don't know how I am anymore. I am certainly not a champion of Love and Justice."

Usagi looked up from her laptop and looked out among her peers , scattered upon the Juuban High School campus. Everyone was so happy and content. Everyone was so alive. She hardly felt alive anymore. She barely felt alive at all. Things bothered her. Nearly a year ago, she watched everyone she had ever loved die before her very eyes. It was true that she had them back, but the pain never left. It was a pain she kept hidden away as a secret. She hid it away with fake smiles, and ongoing reassurance that she was okay. Usagi wasn't okay. She hadn't been okay since the day Galaxia took everything away from her. Nearly 365 days later, it always hurt. Somehow she felt that they were still gone, or maybe she was the one who wasn't there.

"USAGI-CHAN!!!" She heard the screeching voice of one of her closest friends, probably her best friend out of all of the friends she had. "USAGI!!!!! CHAN!!!!!" The screech got only louder as it became closer. Usagi pretended to be engulfed into the words on her computer screen, as she saw her friend approach her. "Usagi-Chan, did you not hear me calling you? Why are you here all by yourself?" A bright bubbly blonde stood before her, in her neatly ironed Juuban High fuku. She had accessorized it with the bright red bow she wore in her hair, and a couple of bangles she got for her birthday. Her bright blue eyes shined with the glow of a star as she smiled from ear to ear. "Usagi?"

"Yes, Mina-Chan." Usagi said looking up from her laptop. She had a very unfriendly tone in her voice that she tried to cover up with the fakest smile she had. Minako looked at her confused.

"Whats the matter Usagi? You've spent everyday this week out here by yourself. I know computers are fun, but goodness, give the thing a rest. It's becoming your new best friend and I won't lose my position to a computer of all things! Tell me what's the matter." Minako said sitting next to Usagi.

"Nothing, Minako, I guess I'm just tired. We've had a lot of examinations lately and I've been studying." Usagi sighed, closing her laptop.

"Yes, but this is high school, Usagi-Chan, we've been waiting our whole lives for such a social experience. You can't spend it sitting here alone. I mean think about it, since last year we've had so much free time. We don't have to worry about saving the world everyday, and you have Mamoru-San and he loves you. So do we, so come on, up, up Odango." Minako said pulling her friend up by the arm. Minako frowned at how easy it was to pull Usagi up. Was she losing weight? Minako shook the thought out of her head and smiled. "Come on, Usagi-Chan, pleeeeaaseee?" Usagi couldn't help but to smile for the fact hat Minako was making her infamous "soap-opera teary eyes." She had to admit, she did have very good friends that were here with her. She shook the feeling away.

"Okay, okay, I'm going. I'm going." Usagi said.

"Yay!" Minako jumped up like a hyper-active cheerleader and dragged Usagi onto a larger group of their peers.

The day ended quickly and Usagi found herself standing out of the school building wishing her friends off for their after-school activities. Nearly a year later she still hadn't found any activities to join. She couldn't help but thinking about the day Seiya made her show him around to help him choose an activity. He became a football player. Usagi frowned at the thought. It made her feel sad. Somewhere in her heart, she missed Seiya greatly. Even though she had Mamoru, there were some days that she felt like she could tell Seiya things nobody else would understand. No matter how much he teased her and called her Odango. She sighed. She should've appreciated him more when she had the chance to. Who knew where in the Universe he was now?

She jumped as she felt a pair of hands around her waist. She looked up to see the most calming ocean blue eyes she had ever seen. Eyes she fell in love with every time she saw them. "Mamo-Chan." She smiled, turning around to feel his embrace. He always smelled so good, and was always so warm. It made her feel better no matter what was going on in her life.

"Usa-ko, you seem very happy to see me today." He said smiling down at her. She was about 6 or 7 inches shorter than he was. He always found it cute when she would stand on her tip-toes to kiss him or whisper "I love you" in his ear.

"I am. I would be devastated without you, Mamo-Chan. Don't ever leave me again okay?" Usagi asked, nearly in tears holding onto Mamoru's shirt tightly.

"Of course not, Usa-ko. I would never leave you. Please don't cry." He whispered to her. He held her close in his arms as she nearly fell apart in his arms. She had to remember to be strong, even if things were bothering her, she had to be strong. She was strong and that's what brought them back to her. That's what made their lives happy again. Maybe not hers, but at least they were happy.

Deep in the universe, a presence was felt that shook up a familiar stranger. Dark eyes opened in fear. Something bad was going to happen soon. Someone was coming, coming for her. Coming for the Moonlight Princess. She had to be warned before it was too late.

Usagi sat up in her bed, covered in sweat. She saw it again. She saw everyone die. Mamoru, Mina, Rei, Ami, Makoto, Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka, and Michiru. She saw them all die. But it wasn't at Galaxia's hands. It was in a battle in Crystal Tokyo. The Sailor Senshi were all fighting hard for her to live. They all were sacrificed for her life; but this time, there was no turning back. She couldn't bring them back. They all died in cold blood, at the hands of an evil vengeful killer. But who could be doing this? Who could be sending her these dreams that haunted her every night? This couldn't be a premonition. She didn't want this to be true. If it were to happen, Setsuna would tell her about. She was the guardian of Time. Wouldn't she know? Her mind told her it was just a nightmare, but her heart told her that it could possibly be the awakening of Sailor Moon. She knew that side of her wasn't dormant for a reason. She wasn't a champion of Love and Justice, but she was still Sailor Moon. She still knew when the world was in trouble. If her dreams were right, there was more than just trouble coming for her.
