Good will to the people: Thanks for reading this story, I hope you like it. But I need to first state some of the more important facts. First off, this is my fanfic and I will write it however I damn well please! But I tell you this flaming is more then welcome so flame away because I am wearing a fire resistant suit. Thank you, now on to the next thing on my list of things to rant about.

Crossover exsplination: (*Just kidding, honest* ^_^* Please put the menacing looking weapons away * ^_^;) This story is a Sailor Moon, Final Fanatic IIV, and Dragon Ball Z and maybe some other shows and some other movies and games in this crossover.

Dissclamers!!: I shall say this once and only once "I don't own sailor moon Final Fanatic IIV or Dragon Ball Z or any other of the games, movies, or TV shows that I use!! So would the people who just sent the pack of lawyers to my house please call them back!!" (Thank you ^_^) Also this is my fic not yours. There will be differences from the game and the shows, but they will be interesting differences. And the last but not least thing that I have to say:

this is a shout out people!: So I want to say hi to my friends so hi to Pet, George, James, Katie, Devin, Ron, Kashura, Amber, Jenn, and last but never least Alex. You guys are the best and my life would not be complete without you. ^_^ Oh, I just remembered something that I should tell you. Darien and Serena's relationship does not exist here - in fact nether does Darien. If you want to use the characters that I made, please just ask. What, still reading this, or have you died of boredom already?

The Ties That Bind Us

Chapter One: The Golden High Kick

"Okay, Sakana, give me your best shot!" a very determined-looking Serena said. As she worked her was slowly around there cream, white and dark brown colored sparing room witch consisted of darkbrown wooden floors with hand woven grass matts on the floor for some slit pertection. The walls were simply white with long flowing strips of raw cream colored silk.

("Ok this has gone fare anoufe!") Sakana thought to herself as she threw tones of fast hard punches and kicks at Serena. ("Time to end this for the day, in one quick move.") Sakana threw all her weight into the punch - but, of course, Serena dodged it and got Sakana square in the back of the head with one of her golden high kicks, sending her flying across the room yet again.

"Okay, that's enough for now. We need to clean up - Haruka, Muchuru, and Hotaru will be here soon to pick us up," Sakana said, picking herself up from the floor, sore and bruised.

"But Sakana, they won't be here for about an hour, and even then school doesn't start for a half an hour," Serena pointed out. Filling more then just a little anoyed to suddenly half to stop when she was just geting into a good groove.

"I know, but we need to shower, have breakfast, and your hair has come undone again. Also - you did finish your homework, right?"

"Yes, I did it last night before dinner, or did you forget you nag?"

"Better a nag then a dumb bunny," Sakana stated, and of course Serena had to agree with her on that.

"Okay, I guess you're right about that, but …… I get the first shower!" In a blur that only Serena could produce, she claimed the bathroom.

"So much for the thoughts of a warm shower," Sakana murmured to herself as she walked in to the kitchen to make breakfast.

*20 Minutes Later*

Serena came out of the bathroom in her school uniform. It consisted of a black pleated knee length skirt, a long sleeve button up white shirt with silver crescent moon cufflinks in her cuffs, and a real black silk tie (not a clip on) with a pin in it that looked to anyone like an ordinary astral yen crystal - but it was in fact the Silver Crystal Luna had just worked, with a little moon magic on it. On top of this, she wore a cream colored vest with a black back, and a black jacket with the school crest on it - a white lion with the letters R.A.T.H.S. embroidered under it. The letters stood for "The Royal Academy of Tokyo High School", the premiere high school of Japan.

Serena was a sophomore at the school, and had blown all her friends away by getting the top score on the entrance exams. She even beat Ami by two points - Ami got a 98%, while Serena got a 100% on the tests.

Things hadn't been the same among the inner scouts since then. Ray just wouldn't talk or look at her any more, and Mina just flat out avoided her, but luckily Lita and Ami were still her friends. In fact, they also went to the Royal Academy of Tokyo, but Ray and Mina went to Saint Leo, an all-girls high school.

"Okay, you can have the bathroom now Sakana," Serena said as she sat at the table.

"Thanks. Be ready to go when I get out - Haruka, Michuru, and Hotaru will be here in about 40 minutes. Oh, and I made our lunches since I was in the kitchen. We're having rice balls, tempura, orange slices, yogurt, and raspberry tea. That seems like a small kind of lunch, don't you think so? Maybe we should put something more in it, what do you think? Oh, who cares! Just be ready when I get out."

"Okay, I'll be ready when you get out, I always am," Serena said between bits of her toast. Just as Sakana closed the door, three cats and a kitten walked into the kitchen from the back bed rooms. "Morning Luna, Artemis, Diana, Ying-Fu. Did you guys sleep well?" Serena asked the four cats, as they perched on vacant seats.

"Yes, we did Serena, very well in fact, but one thing was bothering me so I must say it. I still can't believe these new habits of yours, Serena. Getting up at five in the morning and training for an hour and a half when school doesn't start 'til eight. You're getting straight A's, top honors, studying, doing your homework, eating healthily and not getting detention anymore - I am so proud of you!" Luna said, beaming at Serena with pride.

"You will be a great queen one day, Serena," Artemis said, while Diana nodded vigorously in agreement

"All is not always what it seems," Ying-Fu said in his normal mysterious way.

"What do you mean by that, Ying-Fu?" Serena asked the cat, who was sitting on the seat directly across from her.

"I mean that nothing stays the same. To coin a phrase, nothing is certain except death and taxes," Ying-Fu calmly pointed out.

"Then what you're saying is that what Pluto said about Serena becoming the Great Queen is not a positive thing?"

"Exactly. She only could see one of the possibilities for her future. But there are things that she will not willingly tell, like tell you that there is one element missing from this time that would make that future possible," Ying-Fu calmly explained.

"But what is…" Serena wasn't able to finish her question because just then Sakana came out of the bathroom. She was wearing the same outfit as Serena, but her features were very different. Her hair was platinum white and cut extremely short, and her eyes were mako green (a green yellow color that seemed to glow naturally) - people who didn't know her were almost always very unnerved by her eyes.

"Why must the cats every morning sit in our chairs at the table?" Sakana asked, sounding rather annoyed.

"Because they want to, why else?" Serena asked.

"Well, are you ready? They will be here soon, Serena." The doorbell rang. "Speak of the devil! Come on, Serena, we need to go." Sakana ran out the door and hopped in Haruka's car.

"Coming!" Serena called as she closed the door.
