AN: Hey all. Before I begin I wanna just say I'm revamping the story all together. On top of fixing many many spelling errors I will try to fix the plot b/c lot's of you were right. It's confusing as heck. And frankly I want to finish this but I'm getting nowhere with the whole Saamp Seiya pregnancy arc. I might keep it in. Who knows. For the most part the first 5-6 chapters are just fixed slightly. Words that were missing have been added, words altered names changed (all Japanese now!) but the main theme is still Usagi trying to better herself with the help of the outer senshi.
I've also taken out all AN's except where absolutely necessary, and this one.
I'd like to think that I've matured over the many many years that i've been working on this story.
Please r&r. Let me know what you think?
Changing Destiny
Chapter 1
Usagi stared hard at the walls of her room. She could not figure out why she of all people was chosen to have such an important role as Sailor Moon. Leader of the Sailor Senshi. She knew the other girls had no faith in her and only Makoto's faith (and the other girls fear of Makoto's strength) in Usagi kept her in the team. Luna was trying as hard as she could but she could not make Usagi into the senshi she wanted. She was losing hope in Usagi but she was more discreet about it than the others.
"WHY ME?" She cried suddenly burying her head in her pillow. All she ever wanted was to be a normal teenage girl. But her 'destiny' was keeping her from having a normal life. And she was sick of it. Almost as sick as she was of the other girls bashing her all the time.
"Usagi? Honey? What's wrong?" Usagi sniffed as she looked through watery eyes at her beautiful blue haired mother. Tsukino Ikuko came over to her daughter with concern written all over her face.
"No-Nothing mom." Usagi said softly. No matter how much she wanted to she could not tell her family about her alter ego.
"Are you sure honey?" When Usagi stayed silent Ikuko tried again to reach her only daughter "You know you can talk to me about anything right?" Ikuko tried again. But Usagi had buried her head in her pillow again and was shaking her head variously. Ikuko sighed and got up. "All right honey. When you get hungry come on downstairs." She said as she left the room.
Usagi, after hearing the door click, got up and changed out of her night gown. On her way back from her adjoined bathroom, though, a bright light flashed on her bed making her fall backwards in surprise. When the flash dimmed down Usagi could make out the figure of a woman in a Sailor Senshi uniform on her bed. Usagi slowly made her way over to the woman on all four.
"Hello Usagi-san...Or should I say Sailor Moon" The woman spoke as she got off the bed and got down on one knee on the floor and looked up at Usagi. Usagi's eyes widened in fear.
"H-How did you – I mean what in the world are you talking about!" She asked getting back on her feet, her eyes not leaving the woman as she moved back slowly.
"I know everything about you Usagi-san. But where are my manners. I am Meiou Setsuna. Also known as Sailor Pluto. Guardian of time" The woman, now known as Setsuna, got up and bowed deeply in Usagi's direction.
"Another Senshi?" Usagi asked in wonder as she stopped moving as she stared at the woman in the black uniform.
"No. I am not your type of senshi. I am the senshi who is destined to walk through time and space alone. I guard the gates of time." Setsuna said cutting Usagi off. "I have come for a special reason Usagi"
"W-What?" Usagi asked softly. "Are you here to kill me? I hope you are. The other senshi are better off without me anyways."
"No. Serenit-Usagi" Trisha snapped, her eyes flashing. Usagi stared at her curiously. What was she going to call her? "You are a very important asset to the Senshi team. The other girls just have to learn that. I am here to teach you the ways of a senshi. Unlike the other girls you were never properly trained in your past life." Setsuna went on more softly.
"But all I do is klutz out and cry, putting everyone around me in more danger. What good is that?" Usagi demanded not really processing what was just told to her. "The girls and the world is better off without me!" She declared her eyes flashing with pain and anger.
"Never think that Usagi. You can be so much more if you wanted to be. "
"BUT I DO WANT TO BE!" Usagi shouted. "DO YOU THINK I LIKE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF MY STUPIDITY?" She demanded. Tears were now flowing freely from her eyes. "I wish I was strong enough to protect everyone I hold dear to me" she whispered in defeat.
"Very good. I am here to help you achieve that." Setsuna said smiling slightly. "You will be taught to be everything you want to be by myself and three others. We are the sacred senshi of the outer solar system. Do not worry. You will be fine." Usagi's eyes glittered with hope at the other woman's words.
"Do you promise?" She asked softly.
"I promise upon my honour as a senshi. Just be ready tomorrow night. We start training by the moonlight" She said before disappearing just as she came. Usagi stood there blinking her sore red eyes. "HEY WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY PAST LIFE?" She called out as her brain caught up with everything that had just happened.
