Ok now, here goes (finally ^ ^;;):
Usagi was slowly walking through a long, blue tunnel, her mother next to her. The tunnel seemed never ending; she was surrounded by a misty haze.
Her mother hadn't said anything since they had entered the tunnel, and Usagi was beginning to get frustrated. She wanted to know something besides she all of a sudden had two brothers in the Silver Millenium, and she's going to another universe. Oh yeah, and it turns out that the mans she felt chained to for years wasn't actually meant to be with her!!
As if somehow sensing her distress, Queen Serenity speaks up.
"So, what shall you like to find out? Oh- I know, your brothers, perhaps? Well, let's see…Well, a thousand years ago, the Silver Alliance wasn't the only alliance there. There was the Shinzu Alliance and the Myugo Alliance, also. Now, your brothers were heirs to the throwns of one half of the sun each. However, since they were my sons, therefore being princes of the silver alliance, and since they were heirs to the sun, they were as powerful as the leaders of the other alliances. You see, the other alliances were slightly smaller/weaker, they didn't have any powerful crystals, but they were still important, and each still had 7 planets. Ok?"
Usagi nodded, trying to process all this new information. "Alright, but what were my brothers' names?"
(a.n. dum dum dum!) Queen Serenity paused a bit, before answering. "Genbu and Byakko." (a.n. shock! Oh, by the way, if later I misportray them, please help, cuz I don't know that much about them. I find out about fushigi yugi by reading the graphic novel, and the novel isn't that far yet).
"Genbu and Byakko…" Usagi rolled these names around her tongue, trying to get used to saying it.
"Alright, may I continue now?" Queen Serenity asked pertly.
"Yes, you may."
"Thank you. Now, as I was saying…The Silver Alliance was more important than you thought it was. It more or less ruled the universe, not just the milky way. And about your suitors…you had quite a lot. Naturally, that would happen because of your power, but many men fell in love with you. Though I never think you quite appreciated it properly. Really, I'll never know why you—"
"Mother, would you please get on with it?!" Usagi impatiently interjected.
"Oh alright, alright. The heirs to the Shinzu and Myugo alliances were both men. The Shizu alliance's heir was named Suzaku. The Myugo heir was named Seiryuu. They were both quite good looking if I do say so myself."
At this, Usagi rolled her eyes, but said nothing.
"Don't think I didn't see that young lady. But I shall deal with that later. If I may continue…" the Queen said, looking at Usagi questioningly.
After Usagi's silence Serenity started once more. "Good. Now, both of these men fell in love with you. Not only them, but also many of the heirs to the planets of their alliances (which I said before had 7 each). From the Shinzu Alliance Hotohori, Tamahome, Chichiri, Nuriko, and Tasuki fell for you. From the Seiryuu Alliance Nakago, Amiboshi, and Suboshi fell in love with you, though I think Tomo had a crush on you of some sort also. Oh well. Now, can I say, this didn't make Suzaku and Seiryuu very happy, but they did not do anything to the others, because that would have been bad and would have caused quite an outroar. But, Beryl killed all the alliances before you could choose between them. She did all the attacks very quickly and cleverly. Initially, she knocked out all the types of communication, so people could not ask for help when they were attacked. She attacked the Myugo alliance first, then the Shinzu alliance, and, finally, the Silver alliance. Your home."
Usagi waited, trying to cram all this knowledge into her head at once.
"Why didn't you tell me about any of this?" Usagi asked, feeling confused and betrayed.
"I am sorry, my daughter. I saw how much having so many men in love with you tore you apart, and I didn't want that to happen again. So, I decided to send only one suitor with you to the future."
"But why Endymion? I do not truly love him, and he wound up betraying me."
"Why Endymion? Well, I'm sorry to say, he was the only one of the suitors with you at your death. To send him with you to the same time, the people had to at least be on the same planet. And that was him. The others died at their planets before you."
"But, but, what happened to the other suitors? Were they reborn?"
"Well, yes, they were. But, after sending you and your senshi to the future, I tried to send them at least to your time, but I did not have enough energy. So they were sent to a time so century before yours, most likely to a different location too."
"Is that where we're going now?" Usagi asked curiously.
"No, that's where you're going now. I'm going to go back to the moon after I drop you off."
"But, but, mother, why can't you come with me?" Usagi felt tears beginning to form in her eyes. She was going to go to some new and strange place, and she would not know anyone there. It would be an immense comfort to her if her mother would come.
"I am sorry my daughter, but my body is not able to do that. I can only go to the moon, or go on the earth for a minute or so, but only if you are in dire need of my help."
A few minutes passed between the two of them, each wallowing in their own thoughts. Queen Serenity thinking about the 'good old days' and Usagi trying to see if she remembered any of this from her previous life. All of a sudden, a black vortex appeared before them startling Usagi, but not surprising Queen Serenity at all.
"Well, this is where you get off." Serenity told Usagi, her eyes beginning to water.
"Oh, mother." Usagi said, looking affectionately at her mother.
Without any words, the two suddenly hugged each other, tears running down their cheeks. After a few moments, the two separated, each slightly chuckling, whiping away their tears.
"Mother, I have one more question: what about my destiny?"
"Usagi, I'm sorry, there are many possible destinys. The destiny you knew was the destiny of that current situation. If you had stayed with Endymion, that was what what would have happened. But that doesn't mean you have to. Just follow your heart, ok, my darling daughter?"
Usagi giggled lightly, "Alright, mother."
"Well, then. You better get going—this portal won't stay open forever." Serenity instructed, trying to regain her composure.
"As you wish." Usagi replied, and with one last glance at her past mother, she stepped through the swirling portal.
**************************************************************
As Usagi's feet reached the ground, she looked around her new surroundings. It wasn't much better than her previous ones; she was now in a seemingly endless violet room. However, there was another difference: standing in front of her were two handsome men, around her age. They both had quite exotic looks; one had red hair and eyes, and the other had blue hair and eyes. They were looking at her they way she usually looked at Makoto's cookies. The reference Usagi had made to her ex-friend made her flinch, but she quickly shook it off, and reverted her attention to the pair of men who were staring at her.
The duo quickly rushed to her side, and they each engulfed her in a huge hug.
"Sere-chan!!" The red haired man exclaimed.
"Is it really you?!" The blue-haired man seemed equally shocked.
"Uh, well, kinda. I'm Princess Serenity reincarnated. Who are you??" Usagi asked, quite puzzled by this point.
Slightly embarrassed, both men slowly pulled away from the warm hug. They gave each other questioning looks, as though not sure how much to tell her. Finally the red-haired man spoke up.
"My name is Suzaku. And my blue-haired companion here is Seiryuu." Seiryuu gave a small nod of acknoledgment towards Usagi.
"Please excuse us for a moment." Suzaku briefly but politely spoke to Usagi, all signs of his previous affectionate mood gone. He pulled Seiryuu to the other side of the room, and Usagi saw them have a somewhat heated discussion.
~On the other side of the room~
"She doesn't remember us!!"
"Yes, I am aware of that." Suzaku retorted to his livid friend. He couldn't say he wasn't disappointed; he had waited a thousand years for her to return to him, and now that she finally did, she didn't remember him. It hurt a lot. But looking at her innocent blue eyes; those saffire pearls that he somehow always found himself drowning him, he knew she was the same Serenity he knew and loved.
As Suzaku was deeply intertwined with his thoughts, Seiryuu began to think about is own. He couldn't believe that she had forgotten them! After all that they had…been through. Inwardly Seiryuu sighed. Oh, what was he getting so worked up about? He had known there was a chance that Serenity wouldn't remember him. He just hadn't really actually thought about it. Seiryuu was somewhat idealisitc that way; he believed he would live happily every after with his Serenity. Which was totally unlike him! He was the "tough guy", he was supposed to be a player. But that was all before he had met Serenity. Seiryuu would never dare forget the day he met Princess Serenity; she was too important to him.
~Flashback~
Seiryuu looked from left to right, carefully observing his surroundings. So this was the famous Moon Palace, huh? It seemed somewhat unreal. Everything looked so perfect; the palace was completely white, surrounded by thousands of beautiful flowers and many intricate fountains. It looked more like an inlarged dollhouse, than a palace. But, he was not there for the sights. Sigh, no, he was there because his mother had dragged him there to find out if Princess Serenity would be a "worthy" bride for him. As beautiful as the palace looked, it felt somewhat…dull. Personally, Seiryuu just wanted to leave.
But he knew that was never going to happen. When his mother wanted to do something, she would do it.
So now, Seiryuu was in his room, trying to work out his bow tie. In about 10 minutes the grand ball in honor of his and that Suzaku's arrival would start. Unfortunately for him, since it was partially in his honor, he had to be there for the whole time, as etiquette demanded. The actual princess that was his reason for coming, would not be arriving until 30 minutes into the party (which, apparently, was the Lunarian version of being fashionably late). He hoped that the party wouldn't be totally uneventful, but he couldn't expect much. With his luck, the princess was probably ugly as a doormat.
After 5 minutes of fumbling with the bow tie, he finally figured it out. Seiryuu patted down his jacket, turning sideways, and expected how he looked. He had to say, he looked quite…well, dashing.
He opened the door, carefully making sure there was no one there, and made his way to the ballroom. If his calculations are correct, he should arrive there in precisely 5 minutes, right on time.
Seiryuu stopped in front of the steps into the ballroom, somewhat hesitant. He took a deep breathe in, trying to prep himself. After he walked down those steps, he'd be open to 3 hours of pure torture, filled with false flattery, dancing, and the batting of many an eyelash.
"Hee hee, wow, you look excited."
Hearing the mischevious laughter, Seiryuu looked behind him. He was take aback on her appearance. She had seemingly silky golden hair, deep blue eyes, and a perfect figure to boot. Seiryuu could hear the tinkling of her laughter ring in his ears.
"And who might you be?" Seiryuu asked, intrigued.
The girl giggled again, and replied. "Call me Usagi."
Hmm. 'Bunny'. It seemed to fit her. "I am—"
"—Seiryuu of the Myubo Alliance."
He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Word travels fast around here." Usagi said informatively.
Seiryuu was silent, as he observed the woman in front of him. She seemed perfect. He wondered why she was at the ball. Did she know the Lunarian royalty? Was she a servant? He had no idea.
"So would you like to enter with me?" Seiryuu looked down at the 5'3" woman in front of him and smiled at the irresistible picture she made. She had her mouth in a cute pout, her head slightly tilted up, and her eyes in the "puppy dog mode". \
Chuckling, Seiryuu agreed. "Alright, alright."
The bunny's eyes lit up, and she grabbed a hold of his arm, and started to gracefully descend the stairs.
Seiryuu spent about 15 more minutes with the delightful bunny, and seemed to be having more fun than he ever had in his entire life. She intrigued him, and was playful, sincere, and mischevious all at once. However, she then had to go. She refused to say why, but guaranteed they would see each other again, before scampering off.
So now there he was, in the middle of the ballroom, completely bored, every now and then dancing with some power-hungry girls, and wondering about Usagi.
Soon, a voice interupted his thoughts.
"Presenting, their imperial highnesses Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity."
So he'd finally get to see what the princess looks like, huh? About time. Wonder if she's attractice.
Seiryuu adverted his attentive to the staircase and saw a familiar eligant walk.
It couldn't be…could it?
There, seemingly floating down the stairs with her royal highness Queen Serenity, her mother….was Usagi.
~End Flashback~
Seiryuu chuckled softly, shaking his head, remembering his total surprise. He lifted his head, to see Suzaku looking at him oddly.
He felt anger rise up inside of him, "What?!"
Suzaku looked at Seiryuu critically for a second. He had spaced out, and seemed to be dead to the world. Not that Suzaku would have completely minded if that had been the case… "Nothing."
"Are you implying that I am nothing?!"
"Hey, you said it, I didn't."
"Yeah, well, you're not that much either."
"I'm more than you!"
"In your dreams!"
Usagi stood roughly 15 feet away, watching them bicker at space out for quite some time. What was this place? Certainly this wasn't the other universe, it was more of some special…dimension room thing.
Ugh, she wished she had a way out. At first she was wondering if the claimed Suzaku and Seiryuu would tell her more about her past life, but that' didn't really seem like at option at the moment. If only she could leave…
To her right, Usagi saw another black vortex open. She wasn't sure if she should enter, but there didn't seem to be another exit…
Glancing at the arguing duo once more, Usagi stepped through the vortex.
Suzaku and Seiryuu stopped there argument immidietely. There was something amiss…Where was their princess?
….
"Sh*t."
***********
hey guys! How was that? I know, it wasn't as long as the other one, but it's really hard to write a story ^ ^;; I realize that now! But, it's really fun. I highly suggest it! So now you know that the candidates for votes to be Usagi are: Seiryuu & his seishi, and Suzaku and his seishi. Ok? Please, r/r! I'd really appreciate it!!

"I am sorry, my daughter. I saw how much having so many men in love with you tore you apart, and I didn't want that to happen again. So, I decided to send only one suitor with you to the future."
"But why Endymion? I do not truly love him, and he wound up betraying me."
"Why Endymion? Well, I'm sorry to say, he was the only one of the suitors with you at your death. To send him with you to the same time, the people had to at least be on the same planet. And that was him. The others died at their planets before you."
"But, but, what happened to the other suitors? Were they reborn?"
"Well, yes, they were. But, after sending you and your senshi to the future, I tried to send them at least to your time, but I did not have enough energy. So they were sent to a time so century before yours, most likely to a different location too."
"Is that where we're going now?" Usagi asked curiously.
"No, that's where you're going now. I'm going to go back to the moon after I drop you off."
"But, but, mother, why can't you come with me?" Usagi felt tears beginning to form in her eyes. She was going to go to some new and strange place, and she would not know anyone there. It would be an immense comfort to her if her mother would come.
"I am sorry my daughter, but my body is not able to do that. I can only go to the moon, or go on the earth for a minute or so, but only if you are in dire need of my help."
A few minutes passed between the two of them, each wallowing in their own thoughts. Queen Serenity thinking about the 'good old days' and Usagi trying to see if she remembered any of this from her previous life. All of a sudden, a black vortex appeared before them startling Usagi, but not surprising Queen Serenity at all.
"Well, this is where you get off." Serenity told Usagi, her eyes beginning to water.
"Oh, mother." Usagi said, looking affectionately at her mother.
Without any words, the two suddenly hugged each other, tears running down their cheeks. After a few moments, the two separated, each slightly chuckling, whiping away their tears.
"Mother, I have one more question: what about my destiny?"
"Usagi, I'm sorry, there are many possible destinys. The destiny you knew was the destiny of that current situation. If you had stayed with Endymion, that was what what would have happened. But that doesn't mean you have to. Just follow your heart, ok, my darling daughter?"
Usagi giggled lightly, "Alright, mother."
"Well, then. You better get going—this portal won't stay open forever." Serenity instructed, trying to regain her composure.
"As you wish." Usagi replied, and with one last glance at her past mother, she stepped through the swirling portal.
**************************************************************
As Usagi's feet reached the ground, she looked around her new surroundings. It wasn't much better than her previous ones; she was now in a seemingly endless violet room. However, there was another difference: standing in front of her were two handsome men, around her age. They both had quite exotic looks; one had red hair and eyes, and the other had blue hair and eyes. They were looking at her they way she usually looked at Makoto's cookies. The reference Usagi had made to her ex-friend made her flinch, but she quickly shook it off, and reverted her attention to the pair of men who were staring at her.
The duo quickly rushed to her side, and they each engulfed her in a huge hug.
"Sere-chan!!" The red haired man exclaimed.
"Is it really you?!" The blue-haired man seemed equally shocked.
"Uh, well, kinda. I'm Princess Serenity reincarnated. Who are you??" Usagi asked, quite puzzled by this point.
Slightly embarrassed, both men slowly pulled away from the warm hug. They gave each other questioning looks, as though not sure how much to tell her. Finally the red-haired man spoke up.
"My name is Suzaku. And my blue-haired companion here is Seiryuu." Seiryuu gave a small nod of acknoledgment towards Usagi.
"Please excuse us for a moment." Suzaku briefly but politely spoke to Usagi, all signs of his previous affectionate mood gone. He pulled Seiryuu to the other side of the room, and Usagi saw them have a somewhat heated discussion.
~On the other side of the room~
"She doesn't remember us!!"
"Yes, I am aware of that." Suzaku retorted to his livid friend. He couldn't say he wasn't disappointed; he had waited a thousand years for her to return to him, and now that she finally did, she didn't remember him. It hurt a lot. But looking at her innocent blue eyes; those saffire pearls that he somehow always found himself drowning him, he knew she was the same Serenity he knew and loved.
As Suzaku was deeply intertwined with his thoughts, Seiryuu began to think about is own. He couldn't believe that she had forgotten them! After all that they had…been through. Inwardly Seiryuu sighed. Oh, what was he getting so worked up about? He had known there was a chance that Serenity wouldn't remember him. He just hadn't really actually thought about it. Seiryuu was somewhat idealisitc that way; he believed he would live happily every after with his Serenity. Which was totally unlike him! He was the "tough guy", he was supposed to be a player. But that was all before he had met Serenity. Seiryuu would never dare forget the day he met Princess Serenity; she was too important to him.
~Flashback~
Seiryuu looked from left to right, carefully observing his surroundings. So this was the famous Moon Palace, huh? It seemed somewhat unreal. Everything looked so perfect; the palace was completely white, surrounded by thousands of beautiful flowers and many intricate fountains. It looked more like an inlarged dollhouse, than a palace. But, he was not there for the sights. Sigh, no, he was there because his mother had dragged him there to find out if Princess Serenity would be a "worthy" bride for him. As beautiful as the palace looked, it felt somewhat…dull. Personally, Seiryuu just wanted to leave.
But he knew that was never going to happen. When his mother wanted to do something, she would do it.
So now, Seiryuu was in his room, trying to work out his bow tie. In about 10 minutes the grand ball in honor of his and that Suzaku's arrival would start. Unfortunately for him, since it was partially in his honor, he had to be there for the whole time, as etiquette demanded. The actual princess that was his reason for coming, would not be arriving until 30 minutes into the party (which, apparently, was the Lunarian version of being fashionably late). He hoped that the party wouldn't be totally uneventful, but he couldn't expect much. With his luck, the princess was probably ugly as a doormat.
After 5 minutes of fumbling with the bow tie, he finally figured it out. Seiryuu patted down his jacket, turning sideways, and expected how he looked. He had to say, he looked quite…well, dashing.
He opened the door, carefully making sure there was no one there, and made his way to the ballroom. If his calculations are correct, he should arrive there in precisely 5 minutes, right on time.
Seiryuu stopped in front of the steps into the ballroom, somewhat hesitant. He took a deep breathe in, trying to prep himself. After he walked down those steps, he'd be open to 3 hours of pure torture, filled with false flattery, dancing, and the batting of many an eyelash.
"Hee hee, wow, you look excited."
Hearing the mischevious laughter, Seiryuu looked behind him. He was take aback on her appearance. She had seemingly silky golden hair, deep blue eyes, and a perfect figure to boot. Seiryuu could hear the tinkling of her laughter ring in his ears.
"And who might you be?" Seiryuu asked, intrigued.
The girl giggled again, and replied. "Call me Usagi."
Hmm. 'Bunny'. It seemed to fit her. "I am—"
"—Seiryuu of the Myubo Alliance."
He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Word travels fast around here." Usagi said informatively.
Seiryuu was silent, as he observed the woman in front of him. She seemed perfect. He wondered why she was at the ball. Did she know the Lunarian royalty? Was she a servant? He had no idea.
"So would you like to enter with me?" Seiryuu looked down at the 5'3" woman in front of him and smiled at the irresistible picture she made. She had her mouth in a cute pout, her head slightly tilted up, and her eyes in the "puppy dog mode". \
Chuckling, Seiryuu agreed. "Alright, alright."
The bunny's eyes lit up, and she grabbed a hold of his arm, and started to gracefully descend the stairs.
Seiryuu spent about 15 more minutes with the delightful bunny, and seemed to be having more fun than he ever had in his entire life. She intrigued him, and was playful, sincere, and mischevious all at once. However, she then had to go. She refused to say why, but guaranteed they would see each other again, before scampering off.
So now there he was, in the middle of the ballroom, completely bored, every now and then dancing with some power-hungry girls, and wondering about Usagi.
Soon, a voice interupted his thoughts.
"Presenting, their imperial highnesses Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity."
So he'd finally get to see what the princess looks like, huh? About time. Wonder if she's attractice.
Seiryuu adverted his attentive to the staircase and saw a familiar eligant walk.
It couldn't be…could it?
There, seemingly floating down the stairs with her royal highness Queen Serenity, her mother….was Usagi.
~End Flashback~
Seiryuu chuckled softly, shaking his head, remembering his total surprise. He lifted his head, to see Suzaku looking at him oddly.
He felt anger rise up inside of him, "What?!"
Suzaku looked at Seiryuu critically for a second. He had spaced out, and seemed to be dead to the world. Not that Suzaku would have completely minded if that had been the case… "Nothing."
"Are you implying that I am nothing?!"
"Hey, you said it, I didn't."
"Yeah, well, you're not that much either."
"I'm more than you!"
"In your dreams!"
Usagi stood roughly 15 feet away, watching them bicker at space out for quite some time. What was this place? Certainly this wasn't the other universe, it was more of some special…dimension room thing.
Ugh, she wished she had a way out. At first she was wondering if the claimed Suzaku and Seiryuu would tell her more about her past life, but that' didn't really seem like at option at the moment. If only she could leave…
To her right, Usagi saw another black vortex open. She wasn't sure if she should enter, but there didn't seem to be another exit…
Glancing at the arguing duo once more, Usagi stepped through the vortex.
Suzaku and Seiryuu stopped there argument immidietely. There was something amiss…Where was their princess?
….
"Sh*t."
***********
hey guys! How was that? I know, it wasn't as long as the other one, but it's really hard to write a story ^ ^;; I realize that now! But, it's really fun. I highly suggest it! So now you know that the candidates for votes to be Usagi are: Seiryuu & his seishi, and Suzaku and his seishi. Ok? Please, r/r! I'd really appreciate it!!
