Synopsis: They scorned her once before but now she's back to show them what they refused see. Usagi POV
Disclaimer: not mine
Prologue:
Drip drop. Rain. Storm clouds were steadily gathering, covering in mere moments any trace of the sun's luminous rays. I turned to the skies praying for a miracle, anything. When nothing came, I was left standing in the open street as teardrops from the heavens splattered into puddles. Splish Splash.
"Usagi. You can't keep doing this," my eyes closed as I continued to listen.
The raindrops seemed to be becoming heavier as they slid down my forehead and
across the arch of my nose where it accumulated into a big, clear bead.
"This has been the fifth youma attack this week, and not only were you…" I
smiled as my finger moved to touch the round-shaped liquid and watched as it
fell onto my upturned lips.
"Are you listening to me? Damn it Usagi! Snap out of it. For heaven's sake
can't you be serious just once?" Firm hands shook me out of my reverie as blue
clashed with violet. I could see myself burning away under the passionate fury
of Rei's heated glare. This would be a long one.
"Usagi. It's not funny anymore. It never was. Why can't you ever grow up? I mean how long has it been since- since we've found out you're the princess? This isn't a game!"
I looked around to the others for support. My eyes never met with a single person's save Mamoru's, but even he turned away and my joy left as quickly as it came. Ami, Makato, Mina... What on earth was going on?
"Stop it. Stop it, Usagi… no, Serenity. I've held this in far too long, and since no one else is able to say it, I will. You are no leader. Half the time we've been running around the battlefield trying to keep you from danger. You're only a burden to the team even if you do hold the silver crystal. Having power is one thing, but knowing how to use it is another. I'm going to have to ask you to resign from your position as a sailor scout. You aren't fit to be a princess. Consider yourself unneeded," she spat.
How could her fiery eyes look so cold, so hateful? Whimpering as tears threatened to spill, I bit my tongue to keep myself from showing any signs of vulnerability. But, I looked down in shame. The last attack had drained me of any energy I had left. With a sigh of defeat, I succumbed to exhaustion and felt the air encompass itself around me as the crystal instinctively teleported me to where I felt the safest, within the walls of my very own bedroom.
"Typical." It was the last thing I heard Rei mumble as I disappeared.
Author's Note: Yeah, I know. It's really short. Oh well, it's just the prologue. Hopefully, if enough people like the story I'll keep writing. If not, I'll delete it. The whole plot is too cliché, and I'm getting bored with writing it already. So… we'll see. Until then, ciao!
