Agony After Happiness

Chapter One: The Funeral/ A Change Of Destiny

The sun was shining brightly in contrast with the sad and gloomy air around the cemetery. Not a sound was heard, except for the tears and woes being shed as the funeral dragged on and on.

Rei looked on, tears in her dark violet eyes, as she watched her friend's coffin being slowly placed underneath the soft earth.

Ikuko and Kenji Tsukino moved forward, with Shingo behind them, and gently dropped two white roses on the fresh grave.

"White for her innocence and purity," murmured Kenji softly, as he glanced at his daughter's casket.

"Hai," muttered Ikuko, "She was the joy in our lives..she..mmff" Ikuko started to cry sorrowfully, her hands covering her face.

Kenji moved to embrace her, shedding his tears along with his wife, and lead her slowly away from the grave.

Shingo moved to take his parents' place. "Baka Odango-atama" he muttered as he glanced down. "Why did you have to go and do a stupid thing like that?"

Without a word, Shingo dropped the single peach rose he was holding and moved away, wiping his wet eyes with his hands. 'You're the greatest sister there ever was, Odango-atama.'

Rei moved forward. 'I never got the chance to say that I'm sorry..Baka Usagi..' She dropped a yellow rose in the grave. 'Usagi, you were..no, you still are my best friend, I'm sorry that I was harsh on you..demo I only did it to make you stronger and better.'

"I'm sorry Usagi…please forgive me."

"I'm sorry too Rei," whispered Usagi as she glanced at her friends and family sadly. The blonde girl looked down at her translucent hands. "And I do forgive you..Pyro,"

Usagi watched from the trees as Mina and Artemis' turn came up.

"Oh Usagi…if you could only hear me, you would know that I'm so sorry," mourned Mina, her beautiful face wet with tears, as she and Artemis each placed a rose, hers' yellow, his' white.

"I can hear you Mina," said Usagi sadly, "But you can't hear nor see me."

Ami, with Luna in her arms, and Makoto both took her turns at the same time. They each dropped a rare blue rose.

"Our roses are blue Usagi for you are a rare and wonderful person." said Ami sadly.

"You were our friend even if no one else was," continued Makoto. The strongest of the scouts was unusually vulnerable.

"Good bye Usagi." They both said at the same time.

"Good bye Ami, Makoto." said Usagi, her eyes wet with transparent tears.

Luna leaped down from Ami's arms and dropped the white rose she was gripping tightly (in her teeth).

'Usagi, you are a great leader. I'm sorry for not being able to tell you. Please forgive me.'

"Oh Luna.." cried Usagi softly, "Thank you.."

It was now Mamoru's turn. "Usagi.." he whispered as he dropped a red rose. "I'm sorry for everything..but I just want you to know that.." Mamoru dropped on his knees and cried quietly, "I love you Odango-atama,"

"Mamoru…" muttered Usagi as she watched her friends hugging the sad man comfortingly. "I never knew…"

"Its time Usagi," said a voice behind the girl.

Usagi turned around to face the tall, green-haired woman.

"Can't I stay a little longer Setsuna?" she pleaded.

Setsuna shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry Usagi but I can not do that."

"But I don't want to go.."

"I'm sorry Usagi but you have to."

Usagi sighed. "Very well, I'll go."

Setsuna nodded her head. "All right" She pointed her staff at Usagi.

Usagi took a deep breath and closed her eyes as a green-black light flashed before her.

Molly looked at the trees near the grave suspiciously.

"I could have sworn that I saw something," she muttered as she glanced at Umino.

"Maybe you were just imagining it Molly," replied Umino. "You haven't slept a wink since Usagi died,"

~Usagi and Setsuna~

"Where am I?" asked Usagi as she looked at her surroundings.

"We're at the Time Gates," replied Setsuna.

"But I thought that when we die, we'll be going to.."

"No Usagi," stated Setsuna. "You won't go because you will be reincarnated instead."

Usagi's eyes began to widen. "So that means that I can be with them again?" she asked.

"No Usagi," answered Setsuna sadly. "You will be going instead to another dimension."

"But the Scouts need me,"

"They do but they will pull through for the Outer Scouts will help them,"

"The Outer Scouts?"

"The Princesses of the Outer Plants, myself, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn,"

"So what you'd told me is true…but what about the Moon Princess?"

Setsuna smiled sadly. "She will come when she is needed. Do not worry,"

She continued. "But you are needed now in another world Usagi,"

Usagi scoffed. "I am nothing without my scouts,"

"No you are not, Usagi. You are stronger and wiser than any of your scouts. You just don't know it yet"

"But Setsuna I….What the!" Usagi was cut off as Setsuna raised her staff high and a portal opened beneath the blonde girl.

"Farewell Hime-sama," whispered Setsuna as the portal closed. "We will wait for you."

"Off!" cried Usagi as she fell on solid ground, fortunately soft.

"Damn Setsuna, never giving me a straight answer." She swore silently and got up, dusting the dirt of her clothes.

The blonde girl looked at her surroundings, she was in some sort of a forest or something like it. Usagi spotted a small lake near her and practically ran towards it. She looked down and was dumbfounded.

"Since when the heck did I have silver hair?!" she yelled as she stared at her reflection. Sure enough, her hair had turned a silver-white color and now reaches down to her knees, her figure had become more curvaceous and her blue eyes had a certain silver spark in them.

Usagi nearly jumped in surprise as a voice said. "What are you doing here?"

Usagi turned around and saw….

AN: That's all for now minna! Aren't I just evil? ^-^  Anyway the final polls are:

Fushigi Yugi/Sailormoon

Yugioh/Sailormoon

Inuyasha/Sailormoon

Golden Sun/Sailormoon

Note: Based from your previous votes, these are the top four series you've chosen. GW and HP would have been included but I decided to drop them since I want to have a different series to crossover for a change. You can only choose from either of the four, nothing else.

Also, you may notice that Usagi seems to know about the Outer Scouts. That is because Setsuna (Sailor Pluto) had told her everything, except for the part that Usagi is the Moon Princess. Pluto also left out the part of Endymion and the Moon Princess being lovers.
