Chapter One: Storm Clouds

It didn't take long for me to fit in their crazy group of friends. I was briefed on how Their were inner senshi and outer senshi and they both served Princess Serenity or should I say Usagi-hime. I had pointed out to them after looking at a picture of the solar system that Jupiter was an Outer planet. Everyone laughed and said it doesn't really matter at this point. I gave up on that right away. I could tell I wouldn't change anyone's minds.

It was a Tuesday when I had my next flash. Hotaru was there with me again. Except she was a ghost. It had terrified me so much that as soon as I woke up, I snuck out Hotaru's window and started a three mile jog to Rei's.

" Me and my great Idea's" I snorted as I ran.

I panicked as I heard thunder cackle through the evening air. I hated storms, they always made me feel edgy, like something dark was near and wanted me. I needed to get to Rei's house soon. Or else I'd be a very wet nameless girl. Too bad I didn't see the car coming.

As I crossed the street a truck honked it's horn, well an obviously drunk driver honked the horn, cars can't honk their own horns.... The driver stepped on the brakes but it was too late. I was already in a wall, I was bleeding badly from my fore head and my leg was twisted around. It hurt. Oh you better believe it hurt. But I still got up, I don't know how I could. The man gasped and I glared at him, then told him to burn in hell as I made my way up Rei's yard.

" OH MY GOD!!! WHAT HAPPENED?" She screeched at what had to be the top of her lungs.

The black haired shrine maiden ran outside and caught me as I fell. " Rei please help me" I said before I passed out.

~~~Dream Phase~~~~

It was dark. No lights anywhere. Then a faint glow appeared and then I saw it, I saw the sol system. It was strange though... as if it were dead. And then I saw the Earth. It was shadowed over by a dark cloud. The Sun couldn't light up the skies, it was as if a nightmare had come and swallowed the earth.

Then it all changed. I saw a little boy making a paper crown at a table. Next to him was a little girl. He looked up at me, Right at me and said " Mommies going to kill you isn't she?"

My voice replied from no where " Yes, she is."

The little boy shook his head. " Then why fight?"

My voice answered, " Because I will always stay at my princess's side."

The little girl held up her blue and yellow paper crown. " Take this for good luck"

And then they vanished.

I looked at my hands because they had felt warm and sticky. My eyes widened in horror as blood ran down my palm. I moved my fingers and then noticed the missing parts at the top of three of my fingers. I didn't know what to do so I did the first thing that came to my mind. I Screamed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I shouted as I sat up as quickly as I could.

Everyone turned and looked at me. My eyes were wide and inspecting my hands for blood or missing parts. It took a while for me to catch my breath after I was satisfied everything was there.

I looked up too see eight pairs of eyes on me. I blushed and then whimpered. " I had a nightmare."

Setsuna nodded. " Do you want to talk about it?"

I looked up. " I think something bad is coming for me....or for this," I said holding out my hand.

Haruka and Michiru looked at my brooch. It was pink, my least favorite color with a yellow star in it's center. I then opened it and inside was the horrid crystal. It's beautiful silver white surface illuminated and let out a friendly weak glow. Then I snapped it shut and put it in my sub space pocket. I saw Hotaru's symbol glowing faintly.

" You were there when some lady gave it too me. That's the only memory i have so far....that and seeing sailor Saturn's ghost one point before I woke." I said.

" Hotaru, Do you remember this gem?" asked Michiru softly.

Hotaru shook her head. " I don't remember much of the past but she could have come from the future as well."

I looked at Setsuna, praying for anything to happen. I was hoping to remember, wishing she'd tell me. " I want a name." I said.

" We'll call you Hikari Tomoe. You can be Hotaru's sister. We had to make papers to adopt you or else you'd be put in a foster home. I hope you don't mind?" She explained.

I smiled and laughed as I hugged Hotaru. " I have a name!"
