Follow The Stars: Fragments of Luna

By Kotono.



AN: I have scrapped Eden Galatica. And started this little gem. This is inner centered. The focus will be on Ami, Rei, Mako, and Mina. Yes. Inner Centered. Usagi will become the focus later on in the story.

The outers have important roles, but will be featured more in a second story. Usagi, Chibi Usa and Raine are sisters. Raine is the human form of Luna, Usagi the goddess form, Chibi-Usa the spirit form. Raine will be the main Usagi until Luna is summoned, and after Luna is summoned and disappears, Chibi Usa

will become the main "Guardian". Raine will still exist though.

~ When the era of peace fades, they shall bring the light of Luna.

Fire, Water, Earth, and Light come together to form the body of Luna.

Passion, Wisdom, Strength, and Innocence form the soul of Luna.

Four Soldiers give Luna.

But should the five daemons stop them from bringing her,

The land will perish and Galatea will be no more. ~

" Raine, please take care of the sages, Raine." Her mother, Relena, Queen of Galatea and current heir to the Moon kingdom, turned from her daughter. Hurrying from her sobbing daughter, she ran off into the Imperial Palace room.

" I will seal the Fate of Luna. Ginzoushou! Powers of Might! Lend me your Purity! Lend your light!"

An intense aura filled the room, and a flash of light showered the kingdom in star energy.

Then there was a thud, and the sound of crystal breaking. Relena mouthed some last words.

" Good bye dear Raine. Raine..."

Raine kicked in the locked door, bursting into the room. A deep sob caught in her throat as the sight of her dead mother. She fell to the floor in tears, pulling her mother's exhausted body towards her.

" Mama.. Oh mama. I'll take care of the sages."

*~*

............." You are my son, Heero. Kill those soldiers. Destroy them before they decimate us. Destroy them..."

Those were the words that fueled him through out the years. Find the girls. Kill the girls. Kill any girls you suspect. That was his mission. Kill...kill.

How it taxed him and his nerves. To kill endlessly. Destroy all. Kill that Land of Galatea! Destroy the world of Gaia! With his comrades, Vaden will make world his. Yes his. Under the rule of the Nitians, the Night daemons,

The Lunarians would perish. All of them.

" Fire, Water, Earth, Light. I'll find you, shards of Luna. Then you'll suffer a thousand deaths!" Heero Vaden Yuy stalked the room, thinking of all the girls he had slaughtered over the years.

Was all of this necessary? All of the death? The suffering of many? But those fated four must die. For his people and himself to live, they must die. Luna. She was Light of the World. The Soul of Hope.

" Run, Setsuna! Run! You must save the sages! Take Haruka and Michiru with you! Go! Raise them please!" A silver haired woman glared at the men in front of her. Pearl eyes burrowed into ice blue ones, filled with fear and fury. Her name was Raine. Guardian Artemis.

She watched the six demonic men come over her, all smiling evilly.

" You'll never get them. Luna will destroy you all." The leader of the Troup, Darenth, stepped from the darkness and slapped her. Raine then fell, barely watching as five men moved to kill her.

" No. Take her alive. She will amuse me much." They carried her away, her tears falling to the ground. In their places sprung white pearly flowers. Tears of the moon, they where called.

Setsuna and Haruka rode through the forest far from Raine. They each carried two little children all extremely young. They cried mercilessly for Raine, their surrogate mother.

" Mama.."

" It'll be alright. We'll get her back. We'll get her back."

*~*

Her small form chained up in a room, and her body stripped bare, Raine stood in front of the Leaders of the Daemons. Two men watched her struggling form, one indifferent, one clearly enjoying it. Cold Prussian blue eyes watched as her terrified pink ones searched the room for help. She tried to cover herself, but her efforts were futile. The sounds of labored breathing and the clanking of chains resounded in the room.

Milliardo "Darenth" Peacecraft smiled, his stare humiliating.

" Artemis, this would go so much easier. Tell me where the children are!" He said disarmingly. Voice cold, she denied him the answer. He just kept the degrading sneer on his face. Moving closer to her, he gently caressed her face. Then he kissed her.

" Yes. You will provide me with much amusement. Clean her up Heero and lock her in the state room."

" Yes, sir."

The small boy walked over to Raine, watching in disgust as she shrinked away from him, her silver hair falling from the odangoes that held her hair in place. He unlocked her hands, then her feet, the gold manacles falling on the cold stone floor. Shivering from the cold and fright, Raine stood up, covering her body with her illustrious lengths of hair. Heero watched in detached sympathy, and offered her his cloak.

She wrapped the length of heavy wool around her, but fell to her knees. The young woman was weak from running, struggling, fighting, and humiliation. Raine couldn't get back up, and Heero was forced to carry her to the stateroom. He could feel in shudder through the cloth and he cursed himself. Why must he do this? Harming innocent girls who just wanted to live, what kind of existence was that? Raine couldn't believe she was letting him carry her. That was no way to act with an enemy, especially if you're a royal Empress. Walking into a room, he deposited her on a small bed in the middle of the large room. Sensing warmth, she curled up under the blankets of the bed. Heero walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out a dressing gown, a chemise, and undergarments.

" Put these on."

" Then leave, sirrah."

" No. Put them on."

She timidly got out of bed, the cloak still clasped around her, and she told him to turn around. The Raine put the garments on, feeling swallowed. Well, at least she was covered. Still freezing, she climbed back into the bed and created a cocoon around her body with the coverlets.

" Have a good rest. You'll need it, princess." Heero reached for the cloak on the floor and then left.

...Good luck princess. You'll need it..
