"Usagi, I want you to meet my girlfriend," He said it so casually but still one could see the sparks of love in his green eyes as he looked upon her.

The love struck vibes they were both giving off were enough to make the young blonde physically sick. Forcing down her heart she smiled, "Nice to meet you."

"It's my pleasure, (Censored) talks about you all the time and how you're as close as brother and sister." The words she spoke were like a dagger in her heart but nevertheless she continued smiling. "I hope we can be good friends," She stated while extending her hand.

"Best friends," The young blonde agreed as she reached over and took her hand in hers.

Jumped up from the wet ground Usagi took in her surroundings almost frantically, her body only relaxing when she found herself to be on her school's rooftop. As her eyes rolled over the chain link fence she couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. "Was it all a dream?" She questioned ignoring the sounds of thunder booming in the distance.

A chuckle escaped past her bubble gum lips as she placed her hand on the back of her head. "Must have been a dream, talking cats that transform into men? That's just-"

"Crazy," A male voice drifted into Usagi's eardrum as she felt a strange weight on her shoulders. Her entire body stiffened, turning towards the voice slowly she found the same white haired man from earlier sitting by her side with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. He stared at her with a grin plastered on his face, "Yo!" He greeted casually.

Without needing further action Usagi let out a blood curling scream, pushing the strange white haired man away from her before running to the other side of the roof top. "Stay away pervert!" She continued to scream while her blue eyes desperately searched for anything she could use as a weapon.

"Whoa, calm down Princess," The white haired man said while picking himself off the ground. "You might not remember me now but we were friends a long time ago, my name is Artemis."

Usagi blinked while staring at Artemis unbelieving, "I don't know you. I think I'd remember meeting a talking cat that transforms into a man and quit calling me Princess you'll give me a complex."

Sighing Artemis shook his head, "Princess," He began ignoring her glare. "Please understand that there are some things that you won't understand right away but that doesn't mean you shouldn't trust what we all say is nothing but the absolute truth."

'Yeah right child molester,' Usagi mentally accused him while eyeing the exit. "Alright, I believe you," She lied.

Crossing his arms over his chest Artemis stared at his mistress, "You know your nose twitches when you lie." Instinctively Usagi's hand shot up towards her nose, "Does it-" She began to question when suddenly her eyes widened as she figured out she had just given herself away. "How dirty."

"Don't lie; it ruins your pure character Princess." Again he let out a sigh, "But, I guess we'll try our best to rid you of all those impure traits, that is why you were brought here."

Suddenly Usagi's blue orbs widened in confusion, "What do you mean brought here… we're still on the school's roof." No sooner had the question escaped past her lips did she remember Artemis and herself falling through a black hole. "Where have you taken me?"

Lighting flashed giving Artemis an ominous appearance, "To a land beyond your mortal realm, one you can never escape from." The fourteen year old blonde stiffened, her limbs trembling on their own accord. "W-what?" Sticking out his tongue he flashed her a peace sign, "Just kidding. Well, sort of. It's true this world is beyond your own but you can escape anytime you desire."

Perking up Usagi took one step towards him, "Good, then release me now."

Artemis cupped his chin, "Not that easy."

"What do you mean, not that easy take me back already." Without realizing it as she spoke Usagi's body moved on its own and before she knew it she had not only run up to Artemis but had grabbed fists full of his clothes as she yelled.

Clearing his throat Artemis reached down and placed his hands on either side of Usagi's face. "I wish I could just disappear," The voice that past through his lips wasn't his own but one of the girl standing before him. "I wish I could go somewhere where I can just forget about everything." He grinned down at her as her eyes widened in realization. "You see, it's really not us hold you here but yourself. My master heard your cries and simply answered your wish."

"Master?" Usagi questioned while Artemis covered his mouth. "Oops," He stated before shrugging. "Oh well, you're bound to meet him sooner or later anyways. Master told me to come fetch you in the real world and explain to you, your situation."

Nodding once Usagi was taken by surprise when abruptly Artemis's expression became quite grave as he whirled the young girl around and placed his hand on the back of her neck. "Hey!" Her protests went ignored as he roughly pushed her towards the chain link fence that enclosed the rooftop, slamming her up against it.

The land below her wasn't the streets of Juuban that she'd grown up on but a dilapidated version. Even though the sky was darkened there were no lights shinning instead a building stood in the middle of the city completely ablaze, illuminating the streets. "What's this?" Usagi asked while gasping the distinct sounds of screams rising up to meet her ears.

"This is a land of your doing," Artemis tone seemed accusing while he pressed her painfully up against the fence ignoring her screams of pain. "The pain and sadness in your heart caused this; innocent people are suffering because of you."

"I'm sorry," Usagi yelled out as lightening ripped through the sky. A drop of what appeared to be black water fell from the very heavens themselves causing Artemis to tilt his head back, turning his attention towards the skies. "You're crying," He stated quite bluntly just as the very skies themselves opened up sending a downpour of dark water towards the Earth.

Releasing her Usagi turned around, "Am not," She stated showing him her dry eyes before she shifted her eyes towards her now stained uniform. "What..?"

Artemis's eyes softened as he leaned down towards her, brining his face a mere inches away from hers. "You were wearing mascara that night weren't you," reaching forward he brushing his fingertips against her cheek as soon as the contact was made images starting appearing in her mind's eye.

"Come back here at seven I have something I want to talk to you about," The man of her dreams stated causing her heart to swell. Nodding happily, thinking that he was planning on confessing his feelings for her she ran all the way home. While their age difference wasn't significant she still wanted to appear more sophisticated that night so she applied make-up for the first time.

Though, instead of confessing to her like she'd presumed he instead took that opportunity to introduce her to his girlfriend.

That night she'd cried heavy mascara colored tears.

"Stop," Usagi yelled while shoving him away.

"Is my presences causing you pain," Artemis questioned while tilting his head to the side. "I'm merely a shadow; I can disappear at anytime you desire Princess."

"Shadow?"

"How do I explain this," He placed a finger on his bottom lip. "We're not real; we were simply brought to life for your sake, living pieces taken from our original forms in the real world to live out one solitary purpose. This world, the state its in will only be fixed and healed by your heart."

"What are you saying," Usagi grabbed fists full of her own damp hair before falling forward. "None of this makes any sense, how am I the cause of any of this," She screamed, feeling an overwhelming sense of responsibility, that she didn't want, crash onto her shoulders like a ton of bricks.

"I've cause you too much distress, I'm sorry my Princess," Artemis called out and when Usagi lifted up her head she found that he had disappeared leaving her alone on the rooftop. "Wait!" She screamed while picking herself off the ground, her blue eyes searching desperately for any signs of the white haired man. Finding none she fell back against the chain link fence, sliding down it before falling to the ground tears streaming down her face.

"Did she believe you?" Endymion asked the white haired man standing next to him who nodded in response. "I think so," He frowned.

"Good," Endymion replied.
