Chapter 3

----

Suddenly, the bathroom door banged open. The girl that was in her dream and with Mariko, stormed into the room. Her face was angry. Her lungs were breathing heavily, making her chest rise and hall rapidy, like she had ran all the way to the bathroom.

She looked at Usagi and asked bluntly, "What did you see?"


Usagi's head lifted up in confusion. "Excuse me?"

She shook her head and sighed. "Oh, it doesn't matter. I know who you are and I need your help."

Chapter 4

----


Usagi just stared at the girl in confusion. "How can I help you?"


The girl sighed and rolled her eyes.

"My name is Raina . I know who you are and I need your help."

She sighed again asperatedly and took out a small circular disk, about the size of a small mouse.

She held it up to Usagi's eyes and a red lazer shot out from the disk. A small beeping noise was heard and the girl smiled.


Usagi's eyes were widened with a hint of fear.



'What is going on with me lately?!'



"What do you want with me and what is that thing?!" Usagi said jumping off the bathroom counter.


The girl looked up at Serena giving her a show of her purple eyes again. She pocketed the small mouse thing and folded her arms.
Since the vision wasn't new, it didn't hurt or suprise her as much.
The vision was some-what warm but not as comforting as most visions were.

That is what frightened her the most. She had never seen or felt a vision of such...passion before in her whole existance on this earth.



"Usagi...I need your help because I'm in trouble." Raina said bringing Usagi back from her thinking.

The pleading in Raina's voice almost broke Usagi but she wanted answers. Some serious answers.

"Why should I help you?" Usagi said leaning against the sink and folding her arms. She wasn't normally this rude to anyone. But she found that sometimes being nice just didn't cut it.
She avoided looking into Raina's eyes only because she was tired. Tired of seeing visions, tired of knowing the future, tired of not knowing her own future.

Usagi turned her head to stare into the mirror and looked into her own eyes. Raina was in the background staring at Usagi with a sad look that almost bordered on sympathy.

Usagi's eyes were round and youthful with no wrinkles. Her eyes were the color of the sky after a rainstorm.

But unlike the people who's eyes she looked into, she saw nothing when she looked back at herself.

Nothing at all. Not even a flicker of the future.


She wanted answers, and she wanted them now.


"Usagi, I know why you can't sleep at night. I know why you're late to school everyday and I know why you can't see any visions of your male friend. I want-"

Suddenly the bathroom door banged open, causing both girls to turn their heads in that direction. A young teacher walked into the bathroom with her pocketbook, her high heels clicking against the tile floor. Her hair was so red and so big that it seemed that her head was on fire.

Her face was pinched in annoyance and she walked to the mirror. The two girls stared at her in confusion and watched her stumble towards the mirror.

She stared putting her lipstick on when she noticed two girls staring at her in the mirror.
She wirled around, like she didn't expect them to still be there. When she saw the two girls, it looked like she let go a breath that Usagi noticed she was holding in.

"What do you think you girls are doing?" She said composing herself and looking at Usagi and Raina. Her pinched face formed a frowned so quickly that Usagi wondered how she did it.

"Come with me. I'll escort you both back to class. You two better be prepared for detention."


Usagi looked at Raina and realized that she was supposed to meet Mamoru after school.

What would Mamoru think if she was late to meet him?

She was so confused! She wanted answers not only from Mamoru, but now from Raina as well.


"Well?! What are you two standing there for? Get going!" and the teacher walked them back to class.

Raina was behind them while Usagi walked next to the teacher.

She scribbled a note onto a yellow pad. She was probably telling her teacher how disobediant she was and how she found her in the bathroom with another girl...etc.

"Give this to your teacher and it'll be her desision to punish you."

Usagi took the note and walked down the hallway towards her classroom.

Before she went in, the teacher's hand was on her wrist. Usagi turned her head to look at the woman.



Bad mistake.



Suddenly, pouring heat was dropped onto her brain like a ton of bricks. Her head was swirling and she felt like she was going to faint. She was spinning and it seemed like it would never end.

As the spinning and dizziness stopped Usagi realized that she was in a meadow. There were flowers everywhere and she could almost smell the scent of the fresh breeze. There were no trees in sight but spectacular mountains in the distance. The flowers swayed with the breeze and sounds of laughter could be heard.

"Jurien!! Don't you love this breeze? It's so fresh and spectactular!" Usagi looked to her left and saw her teacher. Except now she looked so beautiful. Her hair was down in curly red ringlets. Her lips were painted a shade darker than her true lip color and she was wearing golden eyeshadow. She was wearing a wreath of red and white roses with some baby's breath.

Her dress was a pure white that went down to cover the grass around her.

The bodice was also white with small miniscule beads sowed into them. When she turned a certain way, they flickered, making all sorts of light everywhere.

"Oneida, calm down before you ruin your dress." A man's voice said laughing.

Suddenly, the man that was in Raina's dream came out. His hair was still long a white blonde but she wasn't afraid of his eyes. They weren't as intense as in Raina's vision. They had a twinkle of merry ment in them and his mouth was curved into a small smirk.

There was a sword on his belt and his outfit was still all black.

Jurien looked at the happy and wistful face of Oneida before staring right at Usagi. Usagi took a step back, thinking he could see her. She pressed a hand to her heart and shook her head.

He waved and then shouted, "Don't just stand there Endymion! Come and join us."

'Endymion... That name sounded so familiar... ' Usagi thought as she heard footsteps behind her.



She turned around slightly and gasped at who she saw, "Mamoru?!"




Slowly the vision faded and she was back in her school, back in the dirty hallway and back in front of the flaming red head.


"Miss Tsukino, if you want to go to high school, I suggest you start paying attention in class and not sleeping though everything. Come along Raina."

The teacher grabbed a surpried Raina and literally dragged her down the hall.


Raina looked back and mouthed the words "Meet me at the park at three today." before she was dragged around the corner.

---


Usagi was watching the sidewalk as she walked home. Clouds were covering the sky and sun making everything darker and greyer.

*Flash Back*


Her teacher had looked at the note and crumpled it up, throwing it away.

"Miss Tsukino, you may go back to your seat. We'll have a chat before lunch." The class looked at Usagi

The chat was actually very pleasant. They talked about her home life, which was as normal as ever. They talked about friends, people in general and people in the school.

Her teacher talked about the job she had back in the states and how their education program was so different from theirs.

"Sensei, Do you want me to tell you your future?" Usagi asked smiling. Sincerely smiling.

It felt like weeks since she had smiled when it was actually only yesterday that she had.


Her teacher tipped her head to the side curiously.

"You can read fortunes?" She asked tilting her head slightly.

Usagi nodded with a small smile on her face. "Would you like me to tell you yours?"


Her teacher shook her head and got up from her sitting position.

"Maybe another day. Lunch is almost over and you didn't eat a thing! Go eat some lunch!"



And with a smile on her face, Usagi left her classroom with the first smile on her face.




*End*


It was ten minutes to three and Usagi realized she was caught in a big mess. Mamoru had told her to meet him at the arcade at three. Raina had told her to meet her at the Park at three.

The park and the arcade were on opposite sides of the city. Usagi stopped as she came into the intersection. Cars beeped and happy children in groups laughed and ran towards their respective houses.

If she went left, she'd go to the park and hear what Raina had to say. If she went right, she'd see Mamoru and listen to his explainations.

Usagi started to turn right but realized she had this feeling that she wouldn't even SEE Raina after today. Not in school or around.



With a fleeting look down the road to the arcade Usagi turned left and ran to the park.


----


Mamoru looked at his watch for the third time since he had come into the arcade. It was almost three fifteen and Usagi hadn't come to the arcade yet.

The noises from the game machines were giving him a headache.

"Hey Mamoru! How's it going?" His friend motoki asked him.

Mamoru turned to his friend and tried to force a smile. "I'm waiting for Usagi. She's late."

Motoki gave a small laugh. "She probably has detention. It usually runs til at least three thirty or four o'clock."

Mamoru looked at his watch again and saw that it was only three twenty. He sighed and let his head fall onto the table with a loud bang, making the salt and pepper shakers shake.

Motoki shook his head and turned back to the counter, "I'll get you a cup of coffee Mamoru."


----


Once Usagi had turned left, she began to run towards the park. Her heart was pounding in her chest as her feet hit the ground.

She turned a corner and saw the entrance to the park. She slowed her running down but kept jogging to the gate of the park.

She peeked inside and saw Raina sitting on the closest bench to the gate.

Usagi gathered her strength and breath and started walking to the bench.

Raina looked up hopefully at the footsteps and her smile stayed when she saw Usagi.


She got up and ran to Usagi, stopping just a foot away from her.

"I'm so glad you came! I didn't even realize that you might have had other plans but then I just had to talk to you-"

Usagi laughed, "Calm down Raina. I'm here. What do you need to talk to me about?"

"Lets go find another bench and talk in private. What I need to say might shock you."


Usagi raised an eyebrow but followed the girl futher into the park.



----


Mamoru looked at his watch that seemed to be the hundreth time. It was now quarter of four and Usagi was no where to be found.

He was on his third cup of black coffee and Motoki kept sending him strange and sympathetic looks.


"Mamoru, you sure you don't want anything to eat? Perhaps a burger or a sandwich?" Motoki offered from behind the counter.

"No thanks Motoki."

Mamoru shifted in the booth he was at and looked back at the glass doors. Any second she would rush to the doors and look around for him.

A few seconds went by and Usagi still wasn't at the arcade.


----


"I need to talk to you because I need your help with my home." Raina said looking at Usagi straight in the eye.


"Where is your home?" Usagi asked turning to face Raina.


Raina looked up, suddenly looking vulnerable and she clutched the skirts of her uniform.


"I'm not going to lie to you. I'm from another planet."


Usagi blinked once, twice, three times before she cracked a smile.

"Is this your idea of a joke?" she sighed and leaned back against the bench.

Raina chose a view that was overlooking the harbor that lead to the ocean. The sun was still in the sky, but it was now going down slowly.

"I actually thought that you were going to tell me some things. Not spout all this junk!"

Raina grabbed Usagi's sleeve with desperation and screamed, "It's NOT fake!! And you're the only one who can save us!!!"

Usagi grabbed both of Raina's forearms as the girl broke down into tears.

"Calm down Raina. Now tell me, save you from whom?"

The girl choaked down the sobs that were rising from her throat and bowed her head. Finally after a few minutes of silence she spoke softly.

"Usagi, you are the only one that can help us because you have special powers. You can save my planet from him. All you need to do is find the other nine believers and you'll be able to save us."

"But save you from who, Raina?!" Usagi cried, close to shaking the girl.


"Me..." a new voice said right as the outer gates to the park closed with a loud snap.


----


It was now four o'clock and Mamoru was still waiting for the odango.

"Hey Motoki, if Usagi comes by, tell her that i left. If she wants to still talk, then i'll be here tomorrow."

"Sure thing, Mamoru." Motoki said staring at his friend's retreating back leaving the arcade."

He turned right and Motoki knew right there that he was going to the park to mope.




'Why didn't she show up? Did I frighten her this morning?' He shoved his hands into his pockets and kept walking.

'Maybe she forgot...no she just couldn't have forgotten!!'


As Mamoru walked closer to the park he could hear screaming and odd sounds.

A young school girl ran right at him and he stopped her, "What is going on?!"

"Some guy is floating in the park and blowing up stuff!! Two girls are in the park and the gates are locked!" the girl cried hysterically.

She broke out of his arms and rushed away, while Mamoru ran right to the park.

He looked between the bars and saw some light and could smell the smoke of trees and bushes burning.

He looked around and saw a bench near a tree that looked like it would fall into the park at any minute.


Without thinking, he climbed onto the bench, grabbed the nearest branch and started to climb the tree.

As he reached the top he could see the harbor. Just as the girl had said, a tall man was floating.


His hair looked like it was waving to everyone and everything. His outfit was all black and a sword was hanging from his side.

For some reason, this person looked so familiar to Mamoru.

He squinted his eyes to see better, but nothing triggered a response.


Then he heard the screaming. It was like his soul was ripping in half.


He climbed down the tree halfway and jumped over the tall bushes.

He tumbled to brake his fall and got up quickly, running towards the screaming.


He came upon some bushes and knew the girls were behind them.

He broke through them and stopped in his tracks. Usagi and some girl were huddled behind a bench that had a huge hole in it.

The bushes around them and some of the grass was on fire and the two girls were trembling.

"Usagi!!!!" Mamoru yelled running towards the girls.


She looked up and mouthed his name.

The man who was floating opened his mouth in shock and his eyes widened.


Suddenly a bright light filled the bench and the girls.

It engulfed just about everything except the man floating.



----



Usagi groaned as she lifted herself off of the ground. She looked around and realized that they weren't in the park anymore.


She stood up and looked at the brillant meadow and gave a low whistle. There were mountains in the distance and the sky was so clear that she could make out three circular shapes.

She looked down at her feet and expecting to see an unconsious Raina, she saw an unconcious Mamoru.

She gasped and felt his pulse. It was strong and healthy. She pulled back and stared at him.

'How did he come with me?'


Eye lashes fluttered and soon she was staring into a pair of blank dark blue eyes.


"Mamoru..." Usagi breathed.


He stood up quickly and looked around. "Where are we?" He asked rubbing his head.


Usagi looked around and shook her head. "I was going to ask you that."
