Rated R
By Miaka Hime
SCORE! I got some reviews! I am so happy! ^_^ And yes, I did spell Quatre funny OOPS! I had forgotten to change it! But thanks for pointing that out Evil Mako-chan! I was surprised to even get any reviews! I thought it was kind of bad *^_^* But now I know all that writing was not in vain! Well it never is but anywhoo, here's the next chapter of "The Other Soldier". And be sure to look for other Sailor Moon stories by me in the Sailor Moon section! (if you're interested that is!) ALSO! Thank you to moonie719, Great_Goddess_Of_Typos, and Evil Mako-chan for being my first three reviewers. You don't know how happy I was to go to my mail box and find your reviews *sniff* I'm so happy! Also I'm leaning toward a Hiiro/Usa fic, they fit better together when they're both "Perfect Soldiers" ^_^ Anywhoo, here's chapter 2!
Disclaimer: Don't own nothing not even a piece of pie. Wouldn't mind a piece of Duo though *drools* "" Sorry bad joke I know ^_^;;

Usagi was bored. She had been sitting in her dorm having a slumber party and she wasn't that into the talk about boys, hair and hair products. Boys seemed to be the main topic. "So anyway me and Hiroshi have a date this Friday." Minako said. She had been talking about a boy she'd had a crush on a for a week, Usagi was the only one who could keep track Minako's crushes because she had a new one about every week. "He was so cute when he asked me, he gave me a little smile and said 'Minako, would you go out to dinner with me Friday?'" Minako used a low voice when imitating Hiroshi. The girls giggled.
Usagi finally gave up. "I forgot something at the ice cream parlor!" She said suddenly with a look of surprise. "Really?" Ami asked. "Yes, good thing I know the guy that runs it, I better go get it." Usagi jumped up and grabbed her jacket and left the dorm room quickly.
Once out the door Usagi gave an inward sigh. 'Too much girl talk can kill a girl.' She though inwardly and began to walk down the hall. She wasn't at all embarrassed to be wearing a coat and pink pajama's, on the contrary she thought it was quite comfortable, but her comfort was soon shattered as she ran into Duo. "Hey pretty lady." He said. Usagi didn't look it, but she was quiet surprised, she hadn't heard him come up behind her. "Nice pajama's and bunny slippers." He said with a cheeky grin. Usagi pulled out her gun. "Omae o Kurosu." Duo didn't flinch. "I get that more often then you'd think." He said. Usagi lowered her gun and put it back in her jacket, she wasn't in the mood to kill anyone, unless it happened to be an OZ soldier. Usagi just turned away from him and began to walk down the hall. "Hey! Where are you going?" Duo was following her she realized. "God I could use a drink." She muttered.
After half an hour Usagi had lost Duo. She was just glad to be away from everything. Usagi slowly made her way to the area where she trained. The grass seemed very inviting.
Usagi laid down in the comfortable grass and looked up at the moon. 'Full moon.' She thought. Setsuna had told her when she was young she would spend endless hours staring up at the moon, as if waiting for it to speak to her. Perhaps that was why she never broke the habit. Usagi slowly drifted off to sleep.
~* Dream *~
Usagi was in an endless black void. She could feel her nakedness but thought nothing of it. She was in perfect soldier mode, ready to attack or be attacked. But there seemed to be nothing.
She tensed as she heard the clicking of heeled shoes. She was ready, even without her gun. Usagi hesitated when she saw the silhouette of a woman she seemed to recognize, but didn't. But she didn't show her hesitation though, she stood in a battle ready stance.
When the woman came into view Usagi felt like she was staring into her own reflection only and older version of herself. "State your name and purpose." She stated. The woman gave her a tiny smile. "I am Queen Serenity of the past Silver Millennium." She answered her lavender eyes dancing. "Is that supposed to mean something? There was no Silver Millennium." The woman let out a tinkling laugh. "Oh no there was Serenity-hime, and you were a part of it. I was sent here to help you prepare for a great evil that will be coming, in which you and your senshi will be involved." Usagi let herself smirk. "I'm sorry lady but I'm no princess, and my name is Gin." Usagi said using her code name. "Well Gin, I'm sorry to say but you are Serenity-hime, like it or not. Your memories will eventually resurface but not for awhile." Usagi didn't respond but stopped her battle stance, this woman had no intention of harming her, that much was obvious.
"You seem to have forgotten to project some clothes for yourself when in the realm of spirits." The queen said tisking slightly at Usagi's lack of clothing. "Not to worry, I'll do it for you." Usagi inwardly gasped when she felt a short ,white dress, of silk adorn her slim figure. "I have come to give you a message," The queen began after Usagi had become accustom to her clothing. "There will be four warriors, one of which is your older sister. These four will begin to help you in more ways then one. There will be other soldiers but only a few will be needed in this fight, but you must know that the four soldiers will know of your past as Serenity-hime, and will be unable to answer any questions about your past life until your memories resurface. Some of these soldiers you already know of." She said with another smile. Suddenly Usagi's vision became slightly blurry, she was beginning to awaken. "Wait! How will I know the four soldiers!" She called out. "They will make contact with you, now I must go. You are awakening my daughter."
~* End Dream *~
Usagi's eyes snapped open and she looked up at the one that woke her, it was Duo. "Was wondering if you'd wake up, I've been trying to wake you for a few minuets. Usagi gave into emotions for once, and this emotion was anger. She hit Duo in the jaw hard.
Usagi then let her eyes grow wide, as if surprised at what she'd done. "Oh my gosh! I'm SO sorry! I wasn't totally awake!" Usagi faked concern and helped him back to the dorm before going back to her own.
The girls were watching a movie when Usagi came in. "Where have you been odango atama?" Rei asked furiously. "Sorry took longer then I expected." Usagi lied hanging up her coat. "Well, I'm pooped, night guys." Usagi said faking a yawn and going into the bedroom and falling onto her bed. But truth be told Usagi was anything but tired, she just wanted to think about what the woman had said. 'They'll help me in more ways then one? What are they going to do? Get Minako to be less annoying?' She thought rolling onto her stomach. (AN- Gomen Minako fans! I really like Minako, but with Usagi's new personality it wouldn't be likely that she'd like Minako's peppy personality! I'll try my best for Usagi to like Minako later in the fic!) Soon sleep beckoned her and she again was sucked into her dark dreams of bliss.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi awoke to the sun creeping through her closed lids. She let out a fake groan considering the other girls were most likely in the room. She had let herself sleep in because she didn't dare leave for training with the girls all around her. Usagi slowly roused herself and got up and went for the bathroom.
After a quick shower Usagi made herself some toast and sat watching the television, she could care less what was really on, she wasn't paying attention anyway. She was more interested in her toast. After her first slice of toast Ami had awoken and joined her. "What are you watching?" Ami asked sitting down beside her. "Hn." Usagi replied nibbling her toast. "Didn't know you were so interested in pornography." Usagi looked at the television surprised that it was on public television but found a cartoon on. "This isn't porn." She said with forced surprise in her voice. "I know, I just wanted to get your attention." She said with a blush. Usagi gave her a fake smile that Ami mistook for a sincere one and she smiled back before eating her own breakfast.
Soon everyone was up, and most of the girls went back to their dorms to take showers and whatnot so Usagi and Makoto were left alone. "So, what do you want to do today?" Makoto asked. Usagi thought for a moment. 'Blowing up and OZ base would be nice.' She thought but replied in a happy excited voice. "Let's go check out the new manga!" Makoto smiled and nodded.
Usagi went and took a quick shower before changing into jeans and a black mid-rift T-shirt. She was getting fed up with pink, and if Makoto asked her why she had changed colors so suddenly she'd say it was the last thing in her closet. But when Makoto came in to change as well she didn't say anything, so it didn't really matter anyway.
Usagi smiled a pretend smile and skipped down the street talking to Makoto about all the manga she was going to buy. "I want a Sailor V comic from Naoko-sama!" She said in pretend happiness. Makoto let out a small laugh and followed Usagi into the manga store where Usagi bought the newest Sailor V comic book and said she only had enough for one because she blew all her money on ice cream the previous night. Makoto just nodded and smiled thinking it was natural of Usagi, but the truth was Usagi had enough money to buy the entire stock of comic books the store owned.
After that Makoto treated her and Usagi to coffee and then they went back to the dorm and watched television until it was lunch time, then they walked around for a bit until they got back to the dorm, where Makoto started making dinner and Usagi checked her e-mail.
Usagi let a smile slip when she saw Dr. M had e-mailed her.
'Gin,
There will be three friends of mine who will be joining you tomorrow, they should be in all your classes, one has already been going there. They are not gundum pilots, but know of them and you. They are completely harmless I assure you, I want you to get to know them, I have a feeling you will be working together. Lastly you don't have to pretend to be normal in front of them.
Dr. M
PS. Delete this mail when finished.'
Usagi did as told and deleted the mail. After checking the rest of her mail which was mostly e-mails from her "Friends" which she read then deleted. After checking her mail Makoto called her to dinner and she set the lap top aside.
~*~*~*~*
The next morning Usagi awoke at five as usual and did her training and then returned to the dorm where she took another shower and decided to just stay up. Usagi watched television and ate breakfast until Makoto awoke. When Makoto had taken a shower and eaten, they both got ready for school and walked off to their classes.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi stood watching the teachers lips move, but not hearing him speak. She had tuned him out. When the teacher called her name and asked her to solve a problem she answered way off on purpose. 'This life is getting annoying.' She thought as the teacher scolded her for not paying attention in class. But soon he stopped scolding her when there was a knock on the door. A teacher from the younger classes came in. Usagi recognized him. Her and her "friends" had been moved up into the Senior classes when they aced tests. Usagi told her "friends" she was always good at doing daily work but never good in class.
After speaking to the teacher in hushed tones for a bit Usagi's teacher nodded and the other one left for a few minuets before coming back in with three students one who seemed to be Usagi's age. "Class this is Hotaru Tomoe, she is being moved up because she has surpassed the Junior classes. He said motioning to a girl with short dark black hair and deep purple eyes. "These two, are transfers from another school, Haruka Tenou and Michiru Keioh." He said gesturing to a girl with short blond hair and a girl with medium length, wavy, sea green hair. "Hotaru please sit next to Rei and Haruka and Michiru take a seat in back." The teacher instructed. The three obeyed and sat down, Haruka behind Usagi and Michiru next to her and Hotaru across the room next to Rei.
Usagi didn't act it but she was surprised when Haruka leaned over to her and whispered in her ear, "Ohayo hime, did you miss us?"

Well I admit it wasn't much of a cliff hanger, I bet you were already guessed that the outers were the three that Setsuna/ Dr. M sent. Also I was wondering if any of you want the inners to have a bigger role in this. I have to admit I do not plan on setting any of the senshi up with a gundum wing boy, although that may leave it open for a sequel where the inners/outers will develop relationships with a G boy. ^_^ But that'll have to wait. You must know, I'm having the more terrible time figuring out what is going to happen next so your suggestions will be greatly appreciated! So if you want more review and tell me what you want! ^_^
