Looking Back on Tomorrow
~Fallen
Larissa Krier shivered as the snow fell harder onto Tokyo. She looked around the marketplace she was in and walked into a foodshop. "May I help you little miss?" The salesclerk asked. She nodded slightly. "May I please have two pounds of rice?" The clerk went to fetch it and handed it to her when he returned. She payed him for it and turned to leave the shop when the clerk called out to her. "Next time it snows wear a coat." She nodded and walked out, not having the strength to admit that her father spent their money on nothing but alcohol. Lissa could not afford a coat.
Lost in her thoughts, Larissa didn't even hear the croud until it was too late. A young man with white - blond hair knocked her over into the snow, causing her to spill the bag of rice. Larissa watched as he and two other men ran past, followed by an innumerable amount of teenage girls. She sighed and began to scoop the ruined rice from the snow until her hands, already red and frozen from the cold, could no longer move. She let out a heavy breath and stood up, brushing the snow from her wet skirt. "I appologize for my friends." Said a deep voice. She looked up into the eyes of a young man who seemed to be about 16. Lissa merely shook her head and proceded to throw away the ruined rice. When she turned around, he was standing behind her, offering her a palm full of yen. When she looked up at him questioningly he shugged. "It's the least I can do." Larissa took the money with a shaking hand and counted out the small amount it would cost for the rice and handed the difference back to him. When she turned to leave, he reached out and caught her arm. "My name's Jasson Kou." "I'm Larissa Kreir." She smiled up at him and began to walk away, slightly aware that he was following her. Half way down the block she turned around. "is there something I can help you with?" "I'd like to get to know you better." He replied, a little uneasy. She smiled ageain and waved him up to walk next to her. "What would you like to know?" "Well first, why don't you have a coat. It's almost subzero weather." Larissa looked down at her old sweater and wool skirt. "We - my family can't afford it." She replied reluctantly, shivering involutarily at the reminder of how cold she really was. She was surprised when an extra weight was placed on her shoulder. She glanced up at Jasson and then down at the heavy coat he had placed on her shoulders. "Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked, not understanding him and not liking it. "You look like you need a friend. Did you know you have one blue eye and one green one?" She chuckled and nodded. Jasson listened, enjoying the sound of her laughter until it was overtaken by a more harsh sound. A scream. "Stay here." Jasson comanded harshly, running towards the sound and out of sight. Larissa fingered the small string f amber on her wrist. "Oh this is silly." She chided herself.
"Oh dana guide me in what I am about to do, Celene place your hand on my intentions that they may be good, Chisei lend me your strength that I may protect you people, Uranus channel your power to my heart So that I may fight. Uranus Planet Powerm Make Up!"
Larissa closed her eves and raised her hand to the sky. Four bright amber colored lights left the bracelet and shot toward the sky, they returned, now each a bright beam of yellow light. Beginning at her feet, they began to circle her, transforming her into the soldier of Uranus. One light wrapped around her upraised arm and became a prayer wand, while one settled on her brow, becomind a delicate Tier. The others tied into bow at the back of her uniform.
Larissa opened her eyes and ran in the direction the Jasson had gone. She came to a small clearing in cental park. There, a woman lay on her back, a black crystal floating in midair. Another figure stood at the opposite edge of the clearing. "Little Senshi, leave! Your pitiful powers will do nothing to save this woman." Cried the figure at the other edge of the clearing. "You have Changed Sailor Star Seeker. You used to embrace my help." She cried. The Crystal cracked as it began to decentigrate. The woman stood up, an evil gleam in her eyes. Star Seeker raised his hands above his head and let loose three stars of pure energy that hit the woman. Lissa stared at him in rage. "She's still a living person. We can save her!" She said to him. He just shook his head as he prepaired to fire again. Lissa raised her prayer staff above her head. She guided it in a half circle and pointed it at the dying crystal.
"Chisei guide my hand. Save your daughter." A brilliant silver light erupted from the sceptar and struck the crystal. It rose above the woman and shattered; the shards falling back to her body.

Jasson watched the small soldier complete the ordeal and look back to where he stood. He raised his head in indignation. "Uranus, your powers did not save your world in the Crystal era. They will not save this world now. Do not stand in out way!" He ran from the clearing and de-transformed. He shook his head, trying to get the picture of her gaze from his mind.
The gaze of one green eye and one blue.
