Journey to the Past - Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the characters; however the idea of the story is completely original and not based upon any of the plot ideas from Sailor Moon.
3 years later…
"So, you've found another 'moon brat' have you?" The deep, dark voice questioned as she stared hauntingly at her minion before her. The deep purple of her towering throne highlighted her glittering, silver hair, her eyes twinkled as her perfectly outlined red lips smirked.
"Yes Xenon, master, we believe it really is her this time, no doubt about it. She seems to be living with some people who look extremely like the Senshi." He stated bluntly as he looked down at his black, knee high boots, his deep green cape rustled beside him as he awaited his great master's reply.
"Well Radon, I hope you're right. I do not want to be disappointed yet again; this is your last chance. If she is alive we will seek her out, I've had enough of this hiding, I want revenge! Do you understand me?" The voice boomed, echoing throughout the large, gloomy cave that hid in the depths of the darkest corner of space and time.
"Very well Master, I promise I will not let you down."
'I should hope so,' she thought as she looked down at her surroundings from her mighty throne. It had been four years since her kind had been weakened to the point of no return, and only she had the power to avenge them. 'If you are alive Sailor Moon, be afraid, be very afraid!' She thought bitterly as she placed interlaced her fingers and narrowed her eyes, 'I will find you and once again we will destroy you!'
Meanwhile…
"Aaiiieeeeeee!" A scream erupted through the temple grounds as what seemed like a dust storm trampled through the visiting guests.
"SERENA!" Rei yelped as she ran after the four year old, trying to avoid knocking down any more of the visitors at the temple that day, as she thought to herself, 'how is it that a four year old always manages to out run me? I must be losing my touch!'
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me!" The child giggled as she ran as fast as her little legs would carry her; small blond pigtails flew behind her, taunting the young woman who chased her.
'Gees, what have I gotten myself into?' Sighed Rei as she watched Serena run away, a glint of mischief in her pretty, blue eyes. 'She looks more like her everyday, I really don't understand it.'
Suddenly a small voice came from behind her, breaking her chain of thought "Auntie Wei?"
"Yes sweetheart?" Rei said sweetly as she turned and looked down at her, noticing out of the corner of her eye the figure approaching behind the troublesome child. Trying not to let the puppy dog look in Serena's eyes get to her, she asked cunningly, "What's wrong?"
Serena looked up at her in awe; the child giggled and sighed in relief realising that she was once again off the hook… for now anyway. It's not like she meant to run into that old lady and knock down half of the temple decorations, she was just bored of sitting around… Serena looked away, smiling mischievously and was about to take off once more when suddenly she was swept off her feet and over someone's shoulder, her 'Auntie Wei' just smiled at her from where she was standing and raised her eyebrows as she folded her arms.
"Honestly little one you are a bunch of mischief aren't you." Mamoru chuckled as he teased the small child on his shoulder, "Auntie Rei has told you many times not to run around the temple when there are guests, tsk tsk tsk, what am I going to do with you?" He smiled at Rei sympathetically as she waved goodbye and returned to cleaning up the bombsite that used to be called the temple.
"I'm sowwy Mam-chan," She whispered as he laughed at her attempt to pronounce his name. She reminded him so much of her it was almost painful. Everything from the hair to the eyes, even her smile reflected his Usako through and through.
"Hmm, we'll see about that!" He said as he placed her on the ground and crouched down to her level. "Now Serena, you have to promise me that you'll try to behave from now on, Auntie Rei has already had to fix the temple up once this week we don't want to cause her any more stress!" He lectured, realising that his attention had been stolen by the pink dragonfly that had landed on the small child's arm. He chuckled deeply and cleared his throat, "and BESIDES, if you keep causing trouble there'll be no more ice cream…" 'Surely that will get her attention.'
"Wha? No ice cream? But Mam-chan…" A sob formed in the back of her throat as she looked up at him, tears forming in her eyes. "That's no fair!" She cried as she folded her arms and pouted.
"Well, I think it's very fair actually! No more ice cream unless you start behaving do you understand me?" He said sternly, hating to be so harsh towards the little angel, but how else would she ever learn?
The small child refused to look up, her stubbornness taking over as she huffed in annoyance, her pink summer dress fluttered in the warm wind as he pigtails covered her face, creating quite an amusing sight.
"Serena? I'm serious! There will be no more ice cream or any type of treats for that matter until you start to behave yourself!"
She sighed and dropped her small arms in defeat, "Ok Mam-chan, I be good I pwomise!" She beamed up at him and grabbed his hand.
"You'd better stick to that promise!" He smiled as he led her up the street, "now how about we go and meet Auntie Ami at the Crown? If you're good and stick to your promise, I might even buy you two scoops!"
"YAY!" The little girl shouted with glee as she looked up at 'Mam-Chan', "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, RA, RA, RA!"
Mamoru winced; hearing that song for what seemed the thousandth time that week, 'Thanks again Minako for teaching her that!' He thought, imaging the smile on Minako's face as he did her signature 'Sailor V' pose. He sighed and continued down the busy street, the screeching toddler attached to his hand as passers by chuckled at the endearing sight.
Unknown to them, a deep voice laughed evilly as he watched the small child through the magic orb. "I'll find you Sailor Moon, if it's the last thing I do!"
Well there's another chapter done. Sorry if they're short at the moment, once I've really gotten into it they will get longer! Thanks for reading, reviews please!
