Promise Moon, Moon Promise
Prologue: A new princess
~~DreamBlaze
Friday
Serena woke up at 11:30. The girl was as pretty as any girl her age could get. With an air of innocence and child-like qualities that gets to everyone she meets. Of course there are some that take it the wrong way, thinking that's all she is: like a child. Those who really know her know better, she is a sweet loving girl who knows the dangers of the world, yet manages to think on the bright side: hope for the better. She cares for the one she loves and ones who are strangers alike. This girl happens to be the hope of the universe that will keep the darkness at bay. The one who's pure heart shines so bright that even evil can sense its pureness. The golden child rushed to get ready for she was already late for the scout meeting. She changed into a pink sweater with a cartoon bunny on it and blue thigh- high shorts, then rushed out the door. Luna had already left giving up on waking Serena.
It wasn't her fault. She had to finish her art work for Kyoto University(dunno if its real), she had just finished last night. If there was one thing in school she excelled at it was art. Serena was a painter. She started going class four years ago at K.U. She's already famous, her pen name being 'Hikari'. A friend of hers used to drop her off to class, but now she can drive, no one knows, and goes every session, which was on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday. Bad for her because on Tuesdays and Saturdays there would be late night meetings or scout training to do.
It was due on Sunday and she needed it to be finished because she wouldn't be able to on Saturday. They had scout training that night if they didn't have an attack and she knew she'd be dead tired after either one of them. Her painting sat dry on the roof top where no one would think of looking. She had made a special container so that it would dry without natural forces destroying it.
Crossing the sidewalk she ran into a girl around her age. The girl had really pale yellow hair that went to her shoulders, and dark blue eyes like the ocean. In Serena's opinion, she was gorgeous.
"Watch where you're going!" The girl shouted.
As usual Serena says //I'm sorry…. I didn't mean to!…."
"Yah right," the bitc… I mean anonymous girl snapped.
Serena was hurt, she REALLY didn't mean it.
"You're such a klutz," with that last remark the girl left.
Serena hated it when people judged her quickly. She ran into the temple where the girls were waiting.
"YOUR LATE!!!" Rei the senshi of mars, screamed, angrier than usual.
"I'm sorry Rei, I was…"
"Save it! I know you overslept! Luna told me, although its already obvious," Rei snapped.
That was harsh. I look to the others, they looked annoyed also, then at the cats, Luna was angry, "How in Selenity's name do you expect to defeat the enemy if you're not here at the meetings," Luna questioned angrily getting louder with each word she uttered.
"You call yourself a princess," she exclaimed, pissed.
That hurt, I never in my life called myself a princess, I never wanted to be one or sailor moon.
A new voice broke through, "What do you expect Luna, she's a klutz and a fake."
Gasps came from all the girls.
Luna was surprised and Artemis eyes narrowed towards the figure.
Rei did not like intruders, "who are you," she demanded.
The girl I bumped into showed herself.
"You," I couldn't help but say.
"Yes me," she said in perfect articulate words.
Ami spoke, "Serena, you know her?"
"Yah, I…"
"She ran into me," the girl broke in, looking at me in disgust.
"I said I was…"
Again interrupting, "yes, whatever," she said dismissing it with an arrogant chin towards the sky.
"Who are you," Rei demanded more forcefully, mad that her answer was not given earlier.
The girl looked at Rei, "why Mars no Rei-hime, Mars no Senshi, you do not recognize your ohime-sama," she questions, one aristocratic eyebrow arched, her voice confidant and proud.
Everyone was shocked, "How do you know us, and how can we tell your not the enemy?" Artemis hissed out, warning bells ringing loudly in his ears after the shock and anger subsided.
A few seconds after, a sudden bright light flashes causing everyone to shut their eyes at the intensity. The girl was no longer there, but Princess Serenity, upturned crescent moon and all.
Shock and wonder go through everyone again, but for Usagi, it was horror and disbelief. She couldn't believe it, she knew in her heart she, Tsukino Usagi, was 'Serenity,' not this imposter.
"It could still be a trick," Artemis sputtered gazing at Usagi.
"This is no trick Artemis, I am Princess Serenity," the girl replied, her tone final. The others, Usagi reflects sadly, seemed to start believing her.
The actions done next was what probably sold them.
"Love? Why are you hiding? Come out, I haven't seen you for a thousand years," the princess dressed girl called out and there stood Mamoru, who was in his Prince form.
"Mamo-chan when did you get here?" came the impulsive reply from the rabbit.
"When I told you guys who Rei was and when I said I was the princess," she replied for the stammering prince smugly.
I looked at him, he seemed regretful and bewildered.
I guess she was right.
Mina then asked the question on everyone's mind, "Mamoru-kun why are you transform in your prince attire?"
"I transformed when she did," he replied, looking slightly confused.
They all were stunned again, they looked at me, then at the girl.
"What is your name," Makoto said, curious and a bit suspicious though it did not show.
"Hyourin, Yakusoku (moon, promise either way around. I'm not sure) in this lifetime, just call me Yaku," came the reply. If you listened closely, you could hear relief, but none had heard.
"We still don't know if we should believe you," Artemis said. He senses something, something off about her, and he intended to find out. He appeared to be the only one, besides Usagi, who looked doubtful of the girl's presence; even Mamoru seemed to believe her, Artemis thought, scowling darkly. Didn't they see their response was tearing Usagi's heart out?
"Fine, I'll tell you something only mother, Luna, you, and I know," she said.
"What is it?" Luna asked.
Yakusoku replied, "You and Artemis did not come from here, but Giman-sei (made it up-.-;; I think giman means illusion), as gifts of gratitude for mother's help to them. No one knew because many citizens of the Silver Alliance were mistrustful towards your people but she helped anyway," she finished, and as an after thought added, "besides, I wasn't, and never will be, a klutz and brainless like this," she sneered looking at Usagi, "pathetic excuse for a 'princess'
She was shocked, and hurt at the stinging remark. Tears started to creep out but she held it, knowing it wouldn't be the proper time to cry.
Then, the icing took the cake, Luna said something that hurt more than words could say.
"I believe you," and with that the dark purple cat jumped into Yakusoku's arms purring and rubbing all the while. The others, after getting over their astonishments followed suit, warmly welcoming her to the group. Usagi sit there forgotten, neglected and left out.
Betrayal, it hurt so much, and yet that's all I could feel. Inwardly smiling bitterly, Usagi thinks on how her 'friends' and 'protectors' didn't give her a chance to defend herself. They did not think of her or her feelings. She felt empty and hopeless, what could she do know, she thought with anguished dispair.
Artemis watched Usagi, seeing the myriad of emotions cloud her eyes, all torture for her and him. He too was in disbelief that the others were quick to change their opinions so easily. He shakes his head hopelessly, what were they going to do now?
All of a sudden, Rei toppled over, the house warming forgotten, everyone standing readily, and all eyes glued to her.
After a split second she stood up, grim eyes met expectant eyes, "Youma, park."
Was all needed to be said as everyone ran out the temple.
Usagi just stood there, unsure of what to do.
Yakusoku seemed to read her mind, looking at Usagi, almost encouragingly she said, "go, I'm not ready yet."
With that, Usagi ran like the wind.
