I Will Return
A Sailor Moon Fanfic
Written by Ice Phoenix
^^ Sorreh for the long note last time, and thanks to any and all reviews. Once again, I remind readers that only the Inner Senshi, Outer Senshi and Mamoru will be in this fic; no new enemies, no four generals, no Starlights. Chiefly because this is only a short fic, and I was never good at plots...

As the year progressed, Usagi got better at her english and school work- she figured that was because Japan had higher standards. Here she was good (not outstanding) but back home she'd be just above average, not scarily smart like Ami.
Usagi isolated herself at school, disallowing the luxury of friends.
She matured, karate classes teaching her ways to fight without relying on others, or magic. Instead of spending time with friends (as she told her mother) The Moon Princess either studied or practised her combat skills.
Unable to let go of the past completely - after all, she was going back - the odango hairstyle remained, her eyes and hair the same as always.
"Usagi-" Irene appeared in the doorway, looking across the patio.
The teen looked up from her book "Present and accounted for." she smiled, getting up from the hammock.
"Which would you prefer- the window seat or aisle?"
"Come again?" Usagi blinked
"For the flight - it's time to go home."
Eyes sparkled with eager anticipation as the senshi contemplated. "Window."
Irene smiled, she had expected such an answer. "Okay then sweetie." the mother returned inside, to complete the booking.
Home... Usagi thought, working her way across the backyard and inside, sliding the glass door shut behind her. I wonder how much has changed... How much I've changed...
By now, rather than try and coax the sweet girl into being friends, people at school now left her totally alone, just as Usagi liked it.
The year had been tough, and at times Usagi just broke down. Never in the company of others though, she didn't allow that sort of thing to happen. Always alone, Usagi only cried at night; usually when she slept.
It was so strange, not having Mamoru there to comfort her, or the senshi to comfort her. There were ups and downs, days of depression, days of a mood where she felt like the world lay at her feet; the future queen would have much more to handle in the coming years, and Usagi knew that if she got through this; nothing would stand in her way.
Usagi had got through the year, and now; she was going back, going home.
*sighs* yet another of those annoying progressive chapters, that ye just wanna maul and destroy. I know that these chapters are antagonisingly slow, but heck, there's nothing I can really do about that; shoving it all together in one big epic chapter ruins the entire story...
Anywho, about two more chapters after this one to go... Not exactly sure yet. Thanks to everyone for their reviews, and there's more to come, of I Will Return
