Chapter Five



My soul is set free from all this pain that I had felt. It floats free from all these mixed up emotions. Oh mother why didn't you tell me it would end like this? I finally found my man and now I'm goin to the other side again. But this time I don't think I'm coming back. It's so sad to think about and all I want to do is turn back and fly back into my body and welcome Vegeta's warm touch. So much better than this inner cold that I feel right now. I am lookin down at the world now and I watch them mourn. Oh momma I wanna go back but will you let me? I don't want to die now! Darien you bastard if you weren't dead I would kill you again for making me go through this again. I close my eyes and open them again and I am in the clear blue sky. Shouldn't it rain when someone dies? I fly, I don't have a choice now, and fly towards the Moon that hangs in that beautiful space out there beyond Earth. I see my mother waiting for me with her arms open and she holds me tightly, oh so tightly. I ask her why this had to be and she said that in time it will be revealed. But do I have that kind of patience to wait? I cry on her shoulder and she brushes a cool hand through my hair and lets me cry until I have nothing left to cry for. My mother pushes me back slightly so that I stare into her crystaline blue eyes and silver bangs that fell slightly into them. She smiles at me and kisses my forehead and tells me to go back. That my time will soon come when I can join her on the moon. I hug her greatly and she hands me a beautiful crystal. I stare at the glittering jewel and my mother tells me it was formed from all my tears. The Tear Crystal held both the Earth's and the Moon's powers combined they could either create great joy or great sorrow. Nodding silently I place the jewel into my broach that I used when I transformed into Sailor Moon or Sailor Cosmos. Kissing her one last time on the cheek I feel the wings tear from my back and I utter a low moan as the pain quickly passes by. Spreading my wings I fly towards the stars and to the Earth. I am now falling. Falling quickly to my dead body. I can hear my friends mourning for me. I want to shout to them that I am okay and that they will see me soon. But I realize slowly as I tumble down to the awaiting Earth that I am at a funeral. My coffin is looming at me. I scream internally as I plunge into the black depths. All is dark. The air is musty and I can feel the confines of the plush box that holds me. I am not whole. I can feel no blood. No organs. Nothing. I want to scream out to them that I was alive but I could not make anything move. Was this supposed to happen?

How long was I gone? Was I really gone long enough for them to have my body prepared and brought to this inner confines of Hell? I try to will my body to obey me but it doesn't listen. I have no control over my body. I cry desperatly for someone to hear me mentally. But who here would be a psychic and why would they think that I had suddenly come back to life. My mind struggles to make sense of it and I pray to whomever up there that they would help me in this situation. I wished for once that I could live, to break free of this box that holds me, to be whole, and to be loved. And suddenly my crystal bursts into a bright flash of light and I can feel my body beginning to become whole again. I suck in a breath and cough as I taste the cotton that lines the coffin. With a burst of strength I break free of these confines and fly towards the heavens again to breath in the cold spring air. I can feel them looking at me as I land before them. My wings encircling my body as if they were protecting me from harm. I look at them and they stare at me and I believe the priest has fallen over mumbling about angels coming to life. I wonder why he says that. I walk towards my friends who back away slightly. Vegeta is there too. I didn't expect him to attend. He is looking at me with awe and walks towards me. He brushes a hand through my hair and I can see from the strands that fall away that my hair is now the color of silver. I wonder if anything else had changed besides now having wings and different colored hair. I smile at him and spread my wings so that I can embrace him. We clasp to each other as if it were our last time to be together and he whispers that he knows about us. My heart races with joy and I laugh aloud as I kiss him deeply. My prince has finally remember who I was and I am reborn as a new person. I know who I am. I know what my purpose in life is. No matter how hard I want to run from taking on the responsiblities of being a Sailor Senshi it would always be with me. I somehow managed in the time that it took to explain to everyone what happened to me to put my wings back into my body. Taking them out is the easy part, but who knew trying to figure out how to put them back was going to be so hard? They all nodded their heads in understandment and even Vegeta commented on how long it took him to be called back to life with the Dragon Balls. I stare at him curiously and he explains to me the whole situation after the Cell games some guy revived Maijin Buu and he pretty much killed everyone especially Vegeta when he tried to kill him with a kamakazi like attack. In the end though the good guys won and they brought everyone back to life. I stare at him with awe. I never knew that such things had happened. I wonder for a moment where I was for that time and he explained to me that he came from a different dimension with his deceased wife Bulma to try life without the fighting and she created Capsule Corps here, which Vegeta and Trunks now own, and it was a huge success.

After we all finished our tales we decided to go our seperate ways. We would meet up every now and then to discuss Sailor business and just to discuss what was going on in our lives. Just like what we used to do. I was going off to live with Vegeta with my daughter Rini. I don't think I could ever be this happy ever again. I finally got all the negative out of my life and I was finally starting to get some positive going. I was with the man I loved. I gained new powers. And everyday I trained with Vegeta, Trunks, and Rini to increase our strength and power. Sometimes the girls joined us but they would often explain that they were lacking somewhat in the fighting area and would rather talk about strategies. Days passed and seasons changed and Vegeta and I grew closer everyday. Our children got along perfectly when they weren't together causing mayhem on the local populice. I was starting to get used to this feeling of peace, but you know peace, it's never long. One day while out working in the garden, yes I did have a garden, I felt a strange ki in the air. As if on cue I stood up and watched a tall man with spiky black hair and dark eyes fall out of a black hole in the sky. The man fell but he soon righted himself in the air and landed before me. Was this someone related to Vegeta? The man introduced himself as Goku and he was looking for Vegeta. I looked at him and then nodded my head towards the house and explained to him that he was training. He stared at me for a moment before asking who I was and where Bulma was. My eyes flashed a look of pain before I explained to him that my name was Usagi and that I was Vegeta's girlfriend and that Bulma died two years ago in child birth and that the child did not survive either. Goku's face fell and he sweat dropped as he apologized for being so stupid. He walked away from me quickly and entered our home. Who was this man? And what did he want with Vegeta? I brushed off the dirt that was on my hands and decided to go in and find out myself what was going on. I opened the door and I heard the two arguing. Why was Vegeta calling him Kakarott when he introduced himself as Goku? Walking down the hall to the training room I saw them talking quietly now amongst themselves as they must have picked up my ki. I halted before them and tapped my foot lightly against the ground until Vegeta looked at me with an annoyed look. I asked them what the matter was and they both said 'nothing' at the same time. Nothing my ass. I demanded to know what the problem was and Vegeta explained to me that he had to go back to his dimension to help Goku and the Z team fight a new force that was invading their dimension. I shrugged and smiled and asked him if that was all and his tilted his slightly as if trying to better understand what I said. Grinning I ran up to him and hugged him and told him that I could be packed in less than 2 minutes. As I was leaving I turned and watched both their stunned faces. I grinned at both of them and explained that I was fighting with them as if it was the most natural thing in the world for me to do. I don't think I stopped laughing until I reached my room and grabbed my duffel bag.
