Disclaimer: Never have and Never will own BSSM! What is the point in disclaimers, anyway? Everyone knows that I don't own Sailor Moon, or any other anime, for that matter!!

Gohan: Ya just *had* to write a Sailor Moon, didn't ya?

Usagi: Big Baby.
Rei: It's mine and Usa's turn, ya pig! ::leans over and kisses Usagi on lips::
Usagi: Yeah! She can write about you later!
Gohan: Fine. Just don't blame me when she makes a mess outta Sailor Moon!
Angel: Hey! What are you guys arguing about? I'm going to write both fics. Calm down.
Rei/Usagi/Gohan: On with the fic, then!
Vegeta(mumbles under breathe, in background): Babies.

Shadows; Chapter 1: Prologue
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As she begins towards Hikawa Shrine, Rei contemplates the past three years in which she's known the sailor senshi... She had not only accepted her fate as a senshi, but... She had accepted being lonely for all eternity. The pain of being a sailor senshi is greater than some make it seem... Some of the other girls are living happily, and peacfully... But not Rei... She would always be prepared for the worst. She not only trained her physical abilites everyday, but also her mental strengths.
All of the senshi have dreams, and most of them have come true... Usagi would be marrying Mamoru in 6 months, and thus, Crystal Tokyo would be created, as well as the birth of Chibi-Usa... Rei was a fighter... a protector... a guardian... that was *her* destiny...
She glances up at the gloomy sky... The heavens were said to be beyond the clouds... No, That's outerspace. But, Wherever the gods took residence, they certainly must hate Hino Rei... She allows her head to fall back to it's position, eyes on the ground, in front of her.
'Why?' is the only question that rings through her mind, as she continues her way to the shrine...
~*~*~
Rei eventually reaches the path up to the Hikawa Shrine, in which she used to live... She now had found an apartment in Tokyo...
The miko makes her way down the shaded path, the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom, and so beautiful, as they rain down around her. They used to make her feel relaxed, but now they just reminded her of the beauty of her princess...
Rei reaches the stone stair-case, that seemed to have been there forever. She makes her way up them, looking at all the trees and more Cherry Blossoms. The Hikawa Shrine had always been a sight to see in the Spring... With a sigh, she reaches the top, a few deep breathes on the way. She still comes around quite a bit, to check things out, train herself, and sometimes get fire-readings... But, She didn't understand why she left in the first place...
Rei continues over to the entrance to the shrine. She slides the door open, and slips off her shoes at the side of the door, before continuing on inside. Basically she stayed her, she just slept in her apartment... So, She kept a few changes of clothing, as well as a few of her personal items around inside the temple, instead of moving everything to her new place in Tokyo.
She walks into her bedroom, picking up her miko robe, and a long ribbon. The miko slips out of her clothes, and dresses herself in her robe, tying it in front, tightly. She walks back out of her room, and to the door, that she had come in. She slips on her sandals, and continues out the door, walking towards the back of the shrine.
That was the same place where she had fought Catsy of the Dark Kingdom, and eventually convinced her to give up being evil. Rei throws her long raven-black hair over onto her right shoulder, with a jerk of her head. She neatly ties the ribbon around it, about half-way down. She throws the now kind of ponytail back over her shoulder, before starting her training...
~*~*~
A while later, about two hours or so, Rei returns to the temple-entrance, breathing heavily. She was sure she was getting stronger, as a miko as well as a senshi. She walks towards the fire-room, where she summoned the fire god for guidance. She slides open the door, and walks over to the center of the wooden floor, taking a seat in front of the Eternal Flame.
She closes her eyes, gently...
"Rin Pyou Sha Kai Jin Retsu Sai Zen"
She chants, doing different hand symbols to accompany each different word. She keeps up her concentration. The fire begins blazing hotter and brighter, before eventually flaring up hugely, then returning to it's original size. She opens her eyes.
"I don't understand..." she mumbles to herself, then continues concentrating, repeating the hand-symbols and chants over and over, determined to have answers...
~*~*~
Later, After Rei has finished her training for the day, she leaves the temple, starting towards her apartment... She needed some rest...

Angel: I know, A very uneventful chappy... But the next one won't be like that, I promise! So, Good? Bad? How was it?
Gohan: Awful. Does that answer your question?
Rei: Hey!
Usagi: I think it was good. But, can you make the next one longer?
Angel: Sure! This is only the first chapter, anyway.
Gohan: It wasn't that bad... But, When do we get to the mushy shoujo-ai romance part?
Rei/Usagi/Angel: Shut up!
Everyone starts arguing, in the background. Vegeta walks up to the camera.
Vegeta: I suppose, since they are to busy, I shall say it. Tune in next chapter. Thank you for reading!
Vegeta(mumbling under breathe): That sounded corny... I hate my job...
