Author's Note: Hello everyone, once again. This fan fiction is for all of you Chibi-usa fans. This mainly focused on her. Also, the outer senshi will be making an appearance. I haven't featured them much before, so many characters and all, but I'll just be them and chibi-usa. Now remember kiddies, this story is mine, but the Sailor moon characters that are involved are not.
Out Of the Mist
By Michi-chan
It was unusually cold that evening and Chibi-usa huddled closer to the fire. At the age of twelve she had grown tired of playing with her dolls and considered herself practically full grown. In actuality the girl was years older because of the silver crystal and the extended life span that it offered to all its successors, but Chibi-usa preferred to go by the age she had from when she traveled back to the past. Somehow, saying that she was twelve made the memories seem closer to her heart.
The fire crackled and there was a soft but mellow sound coming from the corner of the large sitting room. Michiru, out of uniform, say playing soft notes on her beloved violin. Chibi-usa was used to the soft songs in the evening. They would relax her for bed, but tonight they made her feel sad.
"Michiru-san, can't you play something happier?" she asked, staring into the fire. Michiru stopped playing and looked at the princess.
"Do you find this song sad Chibi-usa-chan?" she asked with an amused smile.
"It makes me think of mom and dad. I wonder where they are now."
"Probably in their hotel chambers sleeping, or dancing the night away at some party."
"Their so lucky… I wish I could have gone."
"Too bad children are not allowed on second honeymoons," Michiru finished and continued to play, this time with a little more pep. Chibi-usa huffed. She hated it when her mother and father left her behind to do all the fun stuff. Especially when she had to be babysat. She wouldn't have minded if she got to stay with the inner senshi, but they were all away as well, on business and things. Hotaru was unable to come until next week and Setsuna had to stay at the gates of time. Which left only Michiru and Haruka, who were nice enough, but very strict.
"Bed time Chibi-usa-chan," Michiru said as she placed her violin down. Chibi-usa huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm not tired," she said. She knew she was acting like a child, but she couldn't help herself sometimes. Finally with gentle persuasions and promises of pancakes for breakfast Chibi-usa made her way up the grand staircase for bed.
She had just finished dressing for bed when she heard a soft voice. Her face went white as she thought of the possibility of a ghost in her room when the voice came again, this time it was farther away. She peered out her window, but she only say a dense mist that had settled around the castle. Shadows of trees played in the sheer clouds, but she eyed something that wasn't quite right. It was moving, but it was smaller and faster then the trees. Chibi-usa quickly moved out to her balcony and watched the mysterious figure approach. Maybe it's Setsuna out for a night stroll, or Haruka securing the grounds. She herd the thing giggle and start to sing a little song:
"You took them away when I could not stay
You should be me and I should be you
Forever I cried I never played
You should be me and I should be you
I am always sad, but nobody cares
You should be me and I should be you
As I sit alone it is my heart that tears
You should be me and I should be you
Calm as the sea our souls are two
But you should be me and I should be you"
The song made Chibi-usa want to cry. The voice was sad and the loneliness echoed around her mind. After wiping away the tears that had started to sun down her cheek she climbed over the balcony and jumped down gracefully to the ground. The skirts of her night gown fluttered about her as she bended her knees and straightened up, looking for the source of the voice. The voice, which was beginning to sound female, surrounded her like the mist and continued the cong of abandon. Chibi-usa cautiously walked away from the palace into the large water garden, one of Mercury's favorite placed to be. She moved along the large bridge that connected two small plots of land and came to a stop. The mist became worse there and Chibi-usa could hardly see her hand in front of her face. Just then the voice stopped it's singing. Chibi-usa began to panic.
"Don't stop singing, please," she called out into the mist. "Where are you?" For her time seemed to stand still. The mist and even the water was suspended and her heart raced with anticipation. She became cold and she rubbed her arms and shivered in the cool night air. Just when she decided to give up and go home something began to emerge from the mist in front of her. A chill when up her back as the darkened figure came closer and closer.
"Who's there?" Chibi-usa called in a shaky voice.
"You should be me.... and I should be you.." said the figure quietly. Chibi-usa froze in shock as the figure became clear to her. A young girl who was only about a year older than herself stood before her. The girl has long black hair that ended at her knees. Her skin was pale and her deep blue eyes were vacant. The girl was not smiling but she was not frowning. Her face seemed content, but an aura around her gave off the feeling of restlessness. The girl was dressed in a dark blue robe with a thick, black string tied about her waist to keep it closed. The robe parted at the bottom to show dainty feet and the back trailed behind her.
"Are you..." Chibi-usa hesitated then gathers up her courage to take a few step forward. "Were you the one singing?" she asked. The girl tiled her head and a thick strand of hair fell across her perfect face. The face seemed so familiar to Chibi-usa and the affect that the stranger cast about her scared her deep into her heart.
"Tell me your name," Chibi-usa continued with another hesitant step.
"Mamuso... I am Mamuso... That is the name my mother gave me," said the girl quietly. Her voice was icy and it made Chibi-usa cringe inside.
"Why are you here Mamuso?"
"I was left alone.... I was left behind.... I came back."
"Here? Are you a servant?"
"No..." Mamuso's eyes flashed red then returned to their haunting blue color. Chibi-usa didn't notice.
"You have no shoes," Chibi-usa commented. She then smiled and the girl tiled her head again. Chibi-usa took Mamuso's frozen hand and lead her back to the bottome of the balcony where she had jumped.
"Where?" Mamuso asked.
"My room. Well it's actually up there," Chibi-usa said pointing upward. "We have to climb up these vines, if not Haruka of Michiru might see. They'll get mad." With that Chibi-usa started to climb. Mamuso was right behind her. From that point on Chibi-usa felt that it was her duty as a senshi in training to protect this girl. All through the night she watched the girl sleep after giving her a cup of hot tea. All through the night the girl slept and Chibi-usa eventuall dozed off as well. As the girls slept the temperature dropped and the misted faded away into the morning light.
