Author's Note- AH! gomen nasai! School was giving me a lot of pain and stress from the overload of homework. I swear, I think that I'll be bald before I even reach 60 from all the stress @_@ Not that I am^_^;;. I changed the title too. It's suppose to mean 'Is This My Destiny...?' in Elvish. I hope that I got the grammar right and correct me if I'm wrong.

Chapter 2- Rise of an Old Darkness

It had been nearly a month since Usagi decided to reside in the fair city of Imladris ever since that day. And during that time interval she gradually started to become her old self again before they were killed. Meaning she was becoming the klutzy, ditzy and bubbly, but lovable blond that we all know and love. Elrond, the lord of the city, (who also happened to be her 'sister' and 'brothers' father), took her in as a daughter just like he did with her human brother Aragorn, or Estel as he is called here. So far she had only seen him once during her stay. Usagi met him the week after Arwen found her and he had been rather surprised when he saw her. At first he thought her to be another elf until he saw that her ears were round. Usagi slightly laughed as she recalled the memory, he kept blinking and staring at her with an almost confused look on his face. She was told that he came to Elrond for some advice before he was to leave the next day. Whatever it was Usagi didn't know but she had a hunch that it had something to do with the growing darkness that she had been sensing for the past three days.

Usagi suspected that wasn't the only reason he came here. She knew that it was because of Arwen. After dinner Usagi stumbled across the pair when she was out for an evening walk in the twilight by accident. They were both on one of Rivendell's pavilion bridge, looking at each other with loving gazes while holding hands and exchanging sweet words to each other in Elven. She left silently with a small smile on her face before they could discover her. Usagi smiled sadly. The two both held so much love for each other. She, being an empath, felt it every time whenever they were together or when they looked at each other with longing glances when Aragorn left the city.

Usagi walked out of her room in the Last Homely House and made her way towards the water fountain that was in the middle of their garden. She sat down on the edge and stared out at the beautiful sea of flowers, especially the red roses.

'Mamo-chan...' Usagi thought sadly as she remembered her love.

"Celebme'a*."

Usagi turned around when she heard the name that was given to her by Elrond and saw that it was her adopted sister and twin. Though they looked nothing alike, many of the elves who dwelled here and saw Usagi for the first time thought that she almost looked like Tinuviel just like they said with Arwen. At first Usagi was confused about who Tinuviel was until Elrohir told her the story. Funny, the story sort of reminded her about the time when Usagi first met Endymion when she was Serenity and how she killed herself so she could follow her love in death when he died during the great war that took place on the moon.

"Hi Arwen-chan." Usagi replied with a forced smile on her face.

"You are remembering your past again, are you not? The sadness and grief is so great I can feel it in pulsing in your aura." Arwen said and she walked over to Usagi and took a seat down next to her.

Usagi sadly stared at the roses and replied, "Yes, I was."

"Father sent me here to look for you. He said that he wanted us to be at the entrance to greet an old friend of his that's coming here to visit." Arwen said and got up from her seat along with Usagi who perked up at the mention of someone coming here.

"Who is he?" she asked with child-like curiosity.

Arwen smiled at the look on her face. "His name is Gandalf the Grey he is one of the Istari, an immortal wizard."

The two walked through the garden while enjoying it peace, except for Usagi who had a troubled look on her face.

"Gandalf isn't really here to visit is he? He must have some news about the darkness that is growing on Arda, right." Usagi said in mysterious voice.

"Aye, that could be one of the reasons." the elf answered after a few moment of silence, " Can you sense it because of your powers?"

"Actually, that's not the only reason. Cuz you see, a few days before my senses told me of the danger, I saw that there were quite a few Men, aside from Estel, and dwarves coming to this place and I thought it to be a little strange. Three days later I sensed the darkness and it seems old and had just awoken so I couldn't really sense it that well but as the days went by it started t grow stronger. Now living here for a month has given me some time to learn about the elves and one thing I know is that they greatly dislike most Men and dwarves and some other dark things too. So then I put two and two together and that's how I came to the conclusion that he must be coming here with some news of this evil." Usagi said, smiling.

Arwen looked at the girl with an amazed look on her face at the girl's sudden change of moods and when she said all of that in just one breath. Then watched the girl as her bright and cheery smile slowly turned to a sad and lonely one.

"You know what? This is usually something that Ami-chan would do. And If Rei-chan heard me she would be yelling at me on how I could have figured this out all by myself." Usagi said quietly and a faraway look passed over her eyes when she remembered her friends.

"They were the friends you told me about, right?" Arwen asked when she remembered the tale Usagi told her, her brothers and her father the next day she woke up the day after she tried to kill herself.

~*Flashback*~

Usagi woke up the next day and found out that all of her wounds were gone thanks to her abilities and to some help from the elven healing. No scar or scratch marred her flesh to show that she was ever wounded. She cursed herself for her abilities. Then Usagi sat up on the bed and contemplated on whether she should stay in this beautiful place or if she should sneak out. Without a second thought she chose the later and jumped off the bed and quietly, but swiftly walked towards the large double doors. She opened it partway but enough to let her head through.

'Good, nobody is in the halls.' Usagi thought and she proceeded to open the door all the way.

"There is no need to sneak out Usagi." a light voice behind her said.

Usagi jumped a few feet in the air surprised and spun around to see Arwen standing by the balcony doors.

"Please don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a premature heat attack!" Usagi said as she pounded on her chest to relieve her franticly beating heart.

"I'm sorry." Arwen said with sincerity. " But I think that you might want to take a bath before you want to go out."

Usagi wondered what the elf lady meant until she noticed herself in the golden body length oval mirror to her left. She looked horrible! She was covered in dried mud and blood from head to toe, her hair was an impossible tangled mess, and her clothes were ripped, almost shredded, in some very inappropriate places.

"Ewwwwwwwwww!! Grossness!" Usagi cried out and made a disgusted face.

Arwen smiled at the girl's childishness.

"I'll go and have a bath ready for you." Arwen said and she turned and walked out through the door.

*~*

30 minutes and 10 scrubs later (What? I'm lazy and I think that I might be boring you.)

*~*

After taking the nice hot bath Usagi finally felt clean from all the gunk and walked back into her room. The first thing she noticed when entering was a neatly folded white dress at the end of her bed. Usagi unfolded it and slipped the dress on. The neck of the dress was a squared shaped the hems were decorated with silver trimmings and tiny pearls. The top half of the sleeves caressed her arms almost like a second skin and flared out at the elbow. The bodice of the dress, too, clung to her from waist up accenting her curves and the rest of the dress flared out from the 'V' shape of the bodice. On the back of her dress was a medium bow and the two long ribbons fell down to her knees. Usagi took one last look in the mirror before she went out of her room and found Arwen and the rest of the family all talking in hushed tones in the hallway to her left.

Usagi walked over to them and seeing that they didn't see or hear her she spoke up.

"Ano..." She said while fidgeting nervously for some reason in front of the elves.

They all stopped talking and turned to the young girl who was blushing slightly.

Elrond gave her a warm smile.

"Hello Lady Usagi I see that you have healed completely and at a remarkable rate I might say." Elrond said, intrigued at the girl before him. He sensed something powerful about her but because the darkness has risen once more he wasn't so sure if she was either a friend or and enemy.

'Manners Usagi, remember your manners. Gee, I wonder why I'm using them now when I always acted as myself instead?' "You do not have to call me Lady, Lord, umm... uhh..."

"Elrond." he said.

"...Lord Elrond, it makes me feel too old." Usagi said and twisted her face at word 'Lady' then smiled brightly.

Elrond and his offspring all blinked at the carefree attitude of the girl.

"Well... Usagi can you tell us how you came about here?" Elrond asked.

Usagi fidgeted nervously once more. 'Great, just how am I going to tell them how I came here? I don't think that I could say that I wished on the Ginzuishou to revive all of my dead friends but instead it brought me in a dark forest then fall from twenty feet in the air, get knocked unconscious and hurt by the trees, then wake up at night only to be chased by werewolves! Then I woke up again in this place. Great story huh?' Usagi thought sarcastically.

"Actually, I don't know how I came here." Usagi lied. But she was partly telling the truth since she didn't know how her wish on the Ginzuishou could've backfired.

Elrond was silent for a moment as if he was thinking of the next question.

"Then can you tell me how you have healed yourself completely in just two days? You do not have any scars or such on you. It seems as if you were not harmed at all! I find it quite impossible to do even for us elves." Elrond said.

"Ahhh..." 'Should I tell them? I guess I could... they seem worthy enough.' "...The reason why is because I am a Lunarian." Usagi said.

The elves gasped.

"But... I thought that all the Lunarians disappeared ever since Sauron came to rule?" Elladan exclaimed, surprise etched on his face.

"That may be true but you do know that they fled back to the moon where they live and haven't come down since." the elf-lord said.

"But how do we know that she is truly one?" Elrohir said, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.

Usagi sighed then concentrated on her powers. A golden upturned crescent moon flickered on her forehead for a few seconds before it fully appeared.

"Is this enough proof?" Usagi asked.

Elrond looked at her slightly wide-eyed.

"Yes it is, but only one family bares that mark on their forehead and that is the Royalty of the White Moon family. Are you the queen of the Moon or the princess?" he asked.

Usagi shook her head positively. "I'm the princess, and the next in line to take over the throne since my mother is dead and I am the last of my race."

"But how can that be?" Arwen said, with a confused look on her face.

"It's kind of a complicated story. I'm not sure what time line this is but in my time when I was as Princess Serenity. It was on the day when my love, Prince Endymion of the Earth was to announce that we were to wed. So my mother, the Queen of the Moon, threw a very large ball that day and she invited everyone in the universe to come. But... it was also the same day when the Negaverse attacked. Queen Beryl thought it to be the perfect time because we were all caught off guard when she attacked my kingdom. Everyone except for my mother and her two advisors died that day. Buried in grief of losing everybody she used the Ginzuishou to seal away the evil and send all those that died on the Moon 1000 years into the future to be reborn. Then she sealed away Luna and Artemis so that they can find the sailor senshi when evil awoke once more. One of the advisors named Luna found me and said that I was to be warrior named Sailor Moon. After that it went downhill from there. I found out that I was a legendary princess of destiny, defeated Beryl after I found all of my inner senshi, and defeated or healed others evils that had come our way. An added bonus was that we found the outer senshi, too although they didn't want to work with us at first.

But then HE came and killed all of my friends. They hardly got a chance to put up a fight before they died. But we also had help from three other sailor senshi that came from a distant galaxy. They were known as the Starlight's. There was Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Healer, and Sailor Star Maker. They came traveled a great deal so that they can find their lost Princess Kakyuu. They found her but she was stolen away by 'Him' who currently inhabited the body of another sailor senshi named Galaxia. Me, the senshi and the Starlight's fought her but my senshi died protecting me and their starseeds got taken away and the Starlight's lost consciousness when they tried to protect me as well. I thought that it was hopeless until all of my senshi's starseeds somehow broke free from Galaxia's grasp and they became one with me. In doing so, I became what I was supposed to be. It was my destiny." Usagi explained to them and a few tears dropped down her face.

"Who is 'He' Usagi?" Elrond asked.

"Chaos." Usagi replied

The elves just stood there in shock again that this little girl not only did she go through all of this tragedy, but she also fought the darkest of all evil.

"Excuse me but think that I'll go back to my room." Usagi whispered softly and she turned and walked back to the room she was healed in. When she got in she closed the door behind her and slowly walked over to the bed as if her feet were as heavy as lead. She laid down on the soft comforter's stomach down while her grief stricken face looked out the windows.

"Minna...doushite...?" soon the whispers were followed by a soft, heartbreaking sob.

"Usagi..."

Usagi stopped crying and quickly dried her tears so that the elf couldn't notice.

"Yes Arwen."

The elf-lady sat down on a chair next to Usagi's bed and looked at Usagi with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"I know that you are mourning and I am not sure if will be able to get over the death of your friends, but... I would like to know about them for you grieve so much for them."

"They weren't just friends; they were like family to me. One that I can depend about things that I can't tell my parent's about, to cheer me up when I'm sad, and were always there for me in tough situations."

"I see... did they have powers, like you?"

"Yes they did but I also had friends who didn't. Ami-chan was Sailor Mercury the senshi of Ice and Wisdom. She's really smart especially when it comes to computers. Rei-chan was Sailor Mars, senshi of fire and passion. She's the priestess of the Hikawa Shrine and can predict the future by reading fire. She's also really bad tempered and we fought a lot but she was the best friend I ever had. Mako-chan was Sailor Jupiter the senshi of Thunder and Nature. She's really strong and really good at martial arts and she's also an awesome cook. Mina-chan was Sailor Venus the senshi of Love and Beauty. She looked and acted a lot like me but she had lighter color eyes and hair and it was cut up to her waist. They were the inner senshis. Haruka-san was Sailor Uranus then senshi of the Heavens. She's also a fighter and a tomboy like Mako-chan but she likes to dress like a male and is often mistaken for one. She's also extremely fast like the wind. Michiru-san was Sailor Neptune the senshi of the Oceans. She's a great violinist and artist. She's also elegant, graceful, and smart unlike me. Then there's Hotaru-chan. She was Sailor Saturn the senshi of Death, Destruction and Rebirth. Don't let her title scare you though because she is a really sweet girl with a pure heart that must battle the dark urges that she has. Last but not least was Setsuna, she was Sailor Pluto the senshi of Time and Space. I don't really know about her that much because she's really mysterious and kept to herself mostly. I think that it's due to the fact that she is the Guardian of Time and that she was forced to stay and at the Time Gates when the battle on the moon took place. The ones I told you about now were the Outer senshi's. They were separated into the inners and the outer mainly because they had different duties. The inners were my guardians because they lived much closer to the moon so that way they will be able to protect me. The outers lived father away so they were to protect the whole moon kingdom from any enemies that came from far away galaxies. If that's what you wanted to know."

~*End Flashback.*~

"Yeah..." Usagi said and stopped to turned her head to the left and a wide smile broke across her face. "Arwen-chan, why don't we make flower crowns while we wait for Gandalf-san. I'm sure that he won't be here for a while and it would be so boring to wait for him for a long time, ne?"

Arwen smiled at now happy girl. "Of course we can."

Usagi bent down and scooped a bundle of different colored lilies, daffodils, and some other beautiful elven flowers Usagi never saw before into her arms. Then she got up and skipped along the path to the entrance. Arwen was smiling all the way. After getting over some of her sadness, Usagi turned out to be a guiding light in these darks times. With everyone she came across she would try to cheer them up if they were sad or angry and bring smiles of joy to their faces instead. She was very special to everyone and no one would allow any harm to ever come to her.

Then all of a sudden Usagi gave out a startled cry and Elrond, Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen all saw Usagi fall down when she tripped on the hem of her dress, scattering the flowers she had in her arms in the process.

"Celebme'a!" They all cried out and ran towards the fallen girl. But to their surprise she bounced right back up and brushed herself off as if nothing ever happened. (Tsuki- Ne, ne, don't you think that the Elves have enough surprises of Usagi in the chapter?)

"I'm all right!" Usagi said, while smiling and proceeded to pick up the flowers. The elves breathe a sigh of relief ad helped Usagi with the flowers.

~*20 minutes and 15 flower crowns later...*~

In a distance, a cloaked figure in gray that was riding on a white horse could be seen running towards them at an incredible speed. A few minutes later the horse stopped in front of them and gave out a snort before the rider climbed down. He wore a long gray wizard's robe that was worn from aging and all the traveling he had done and his hat was pulled down so that it covered his eyes but his long bushy eyebrows poked out. When he pulled it back up it revealed kind, but powerful blue eyes that still looked like they had a little youth in them. The wizard picked up his gnarled shaped staff and walked towards the Elven family, not noticing Usagi who was hidden behind Elrohir.

"Gandalf my friend, how are you?" Elrond asked the old wizard.

"I have had better days." Gandalf replied with a grave expression of his face but when he noticed Usagi, it turned to one of surprise.

"You have taken in another child?" Gandalf asked.

"Yes but come, let's get you healed of your wounds. You must have been in quite a battle to get them." Elrond said as they all walked towards the House of Elrond.

"Yes indeed, and I have grave news to bring you also." Gandalf said.

Usagi lingered a bit behind them with a blank expression on her face.

"The ancient darkness has risen once more and now wants what is rightfully his......" she whispered though no one heard her.

~*~*~

Tsuki- Tadda! The second chappie! And once again I'm soooooo sorry about keeping you all waiting. I might revise this one a little since my ideas were sort of scattered around there...

Celebme'a- Silver Light (Do you think that I should keep this name or should I change it? I kept debating on an elven name for her.)
