Chapter 2

Usagi was curled up in her bed, exhausted and angry with the day she had had so far. After their patch up in the alley, Mamoru had to leave for he had to work on an assignment he had due in. It was why he wasn't at home. So now exhausted she lay in her house and room alone, as even her parents weren't in, her father working while her mother had gone to pick up Shingo.

She was still dealing with the events of this day. Seeing that girl latching onto Mamoru only reminded her that she couldn't have him, not completely, not ever publically. No matter how much he vowed to love her, she had a feeling one of these days he would get tired of this secrecy and just give up to lead a normal love life. While she would always love him, she wasn't sure he would too. And that made her dread the moment he would realise that. And soon enough she would lose him. Though she shouldn't complain much. She had never thought she would even have him reciprocating her feelings because of their family ties, though it hadn't stopped her from developing those feelings either.

Ever since she could remember, he was always there for her. From childhood they were inseparable, to the point where it was only when she turned eleven did she stop sleeping in Mamoru's bed with him, only because her parents found it odd. She loved him for a while, she knew too much which wasn't appropriate, for she had seen that her friends didn't have this type of feelings for their brothers. And she certainly did not feel this for Shingo either. Just the thought of that made her feel…gross, disgusted. Yet the same disgust feeling never happened with Mamoru. It felt right with him. Though even if that had felt right, she never had the courage to tell it to him outright. With the fear that he might stop spending time with her more if he found about her unhealthy feelings for him.

But to her surprise last year, after the incident with Keiko, Mamoru himself took the step and tipped their relationship, much to her own delight and shock. She only hoped that they could take this for a while, she didn't want to lose him so soon.

"How did you end up with such a hold on me?" she wondered out-loud, her mind a mess. She was fifteen years old, she didn't need this complication. But her heart wouldn't listen, leaving her in messy situation which would only end up in heartbreak one way or another.

She would have spiralled more into despair of loneliness if she hadn't heard a small creaking noise. Stiffening up with fright that she had to face off a burglar alone, she whipped her head up. Her hand grabbing the nearest item next to her to throw it at the intruder instinctively, a teddy bear. But when she titled her head she could not find any scary man she would have to fend off. Instead her eyes fell on a black cat with a crescent moon bald spot on its forehead, casually chilling ontop of her window.

A cat she recognised. The one she rescued this morning from those boys.

"Oh it's you! What are you doing here? Did you follow me?" curiosity burned inside her. Anything which could distract her from her miserable lifestyle would be a welcome to her. So this stalkerish cat would be welcome too. She talked at it, not expecting it to talk back.

"I had to, you are the one I have been waiting for, for so long Usagi," a voice spoke up. Usagi startled and looked around to locate the female voice but she saw no one. No one was in this room but her and the cat.

"Hey, I'm right here," the voice spoke again. This time her gaze zoned in on the cat which was there. It looked as if the cat was speaking.

"Are you talking?"

"Of course I am! Pay attention to me!" said the bizarre cat, I am Luna and you are the saviour I have been seeking for so long"

Usagi simply slammed her head on the bed and covered her head with the pillow.

"That's it, I have lost my head because of Mamoru. Now I am imagining talking cats! Next thing I will see mum and dad giving me happily away to Mamoru for our wedding day," she muttered to herself the most impossible thing to happen to her. Tuning out the rambling cat.

"Oh for god's sake!" Luna hissed, finding it ridiculous that this senshi wouldn't listen to her. She didn't seem senshi material, its why she had observed her for so long. But she couldn't miss this connection with the girl. She had the power. Immense hidden power. She had to be the senshi. So she had to transform her, especially with the return of Beryl.

"Look, I have a..ur present for you," saying that she threw in the broach which she knew must belong to the senshi. At those words she saw Usagi freeze and poke her head out of the pillow.

"A gift from a cat?" Usagi uttered, sounded shocked, but when she saw the broach with the crescent moon in it, she laughed, "Oh it's gorgeous!" she squealed. She loved moon designed objects. Its why Mamoru had showered her with moon earrings and necklaces. Why she had an obsession with moon she'd never know. So the broach was another addition to the collection! While she was turning it around, suddenly the broach started to emit a silver light.

"What the-"

"Say Moon Prism Power Make Up," Luna commanded, seeing the broach respond to Usagi's touch. There was no doubt in her now, she must have the power or the broach wouldn't have reacted.

"Moon Prism Power Make up? What the hell does that mean?" she wondered outloud, but as soon as she said that, golden light blinded her. Once they had faded and she got her sight back, she looked at herself and froze. Her school uniform had vanished completely to leave her suited in red boots, and blue and red sailor uniform of sorts. She might as well be the walking flag of America! Confused she looked at her glove suited hands.

"I look like Sailor V? What on earth happened? I don't understand!" confusion was clouding Usagi. She truly was worried that she had lost it and was insane. It was the only thing that would make sense.

"You are the warrior, born to save the innocents and the chosen protector of the Moon Princess, Sailor Moon," Luna proudly announced.

As soon as Luna said that though Usagi froze, her eyes going wide and her heart stilling at the phrase Luna uttered.

"Did you just say Moon Princess?" she asked coldly, her eyes becoming frozen.

"Yes, our Princess. You are the first senshi found, for her highness, and you will find and protect the Princess as well as help locate her silver crystal. It's your chosen destiny," Luna said it, appreciating the fact that the unlikely senshi was listening to her. But horror immediately attacked her when Usagi let out a big growl.

"Like hell I am. I am not helping your Moon Princess or finding her god damned silver crystal," she snarled out angrily, her temper flaring at the mention of her title. Luna's eyes went wide at the sudden mood swing of this new found senshi.

"What? But you-" Luna sputtered, but Usagi, with her face a emotionless mask, jumped out of the window, running far away from the baffled cat, leaving the safety of her window.
