Chapter 1: Mourn for the lost Light
The female occupant of the room was deathly quiet. It was totally dark, except for the luminous glow of the television set. Her eyes were intently fixed on the television as the figure on the screen spoke with a voice that cut through the silence like a knife through hot butter. "Today, at approximately 10:30 AM, the body of Tsukino Usagi was found in the Tenyo Park. Police still have no suspects or a motive for the homicide and are asking the public for any information that might lead to the killer. If you have any information, please contact the police at 1800-INFO-20723. Now l-"
The news reporter was cut off as the occupant turned of the television. The light given out by the television screen pulsed for a second before dying and plunging the room into total darkness. She stealthily walked out of the room and into another. A thin ray of light made its way through the curtains of the window, falling across her face. Ruby red eyes were unreadable as she softly spoke, "Earth, what a pitiful little planet. It is only thanks to the Princess that it survives. But now, with the apocalypse nearing and, with the protectress gone, Earth clings on to life by a single thread. However, there is still hope in this darkening universe. As the cosmic lights fade from view, others stir in their slumber. The Awakening has begun and when all is set in order...she shall rise up from the ashes to claim her throne."
She walked across the floor and a flash of golden hair was briefly seen. Bending down, she picked something up from the floor. "I shall go and gather the forces necessary for the final battle. Those akin to myself know that the end in nearing. We will stand proud...we will prevail. But you, my darling, you shall watch over our little kittens here on Earth. They have so much to learn in so little time." A deep growl was heard throughout the room as the lady disappeared in a flash of golden light.
(AN: Anyone get that? If you do, you'll have a good clue about what's going to happen in this ficcie. I you don't ::shrugs:: you'll just have to wait and find out ^-^)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"OUT! OUT! THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T GOING TO BUY ANYTHING, GET OUT!!!" a certain red-head shouted, his temper getting the better of him. The usual emotionless guy was fuming as he tried to brush off the lovesick girls that clung to him like thousands of little annoying insects.
Yohji laughed at the picture Aya made. He, himself, was enjoying this. He was leaning against a wall, smiling contentedly as the girls swarmed around him. Some were rather pretty too. It was too bad that they were under eighteen. "Well girls, it looks like some of you are going to have to give me some room. I have to make it to the cash register to see if anyone's going to pay for something." Instantly, the crowd of girls parted like the Red Sea did for Moses. However, once Yohji made his way to the register, the hoard of girls closed in once again.
Omi looked around himself, unsure of what to do. This happened every afternoon, and he never quite got over the fact that girls were always around him. It got really annoying, but he was too sweet to do anything that would hurt their feelings. That was more like Aya's department. "An-an-anno..." he tried to say something, but stuttered as he felt all of the girls' eyes on him. He *really* didn't' like the attention.
"WAI!!!!" the girls surrounding Omi shrieked, "Omi-kuuuuuunnnn, you're going to ask me out riiiiiiight? Iie! He's going to ask *me* out! No me! Noooo me!!!!" the started to argue amongst themselves. Poor Omi, he was caught right in the middle of the big fight. Maybe he could claim to be claustrophobic...
A certain blue-haired girl frowned as she watched the others fight over *her* Omi. Then, a light-bulb flashed in her head. A determined glint shone in her eyes and she began to push her was through the crowd of girls surrounding Ken. She finally pushed the last girl out of the way, causing quite a few people to glare at her. She ignored their glares and tossed a piece of blue hair over her shoulders. She cleared her throat and waited for Ken to notice her.
Of course, Ken noticed her. How could he not if she was standing right under his nose? He blinked and asked, "Hi Ouka, can I help you?"
Ouka nodded and said in an authoritive voice, "Yes, you can. I would like to buy everything in this store and send it to Omi." There was a brief silence in the room before the other girls angrily began to whisper to one another.
"Look at little miss rich girl."
"She's such a bitch."
"Trying to buy their affections."
"Spoiled, conceited, bitchy girl."
Ouka, however, paid no attention to their remarks. What was the point? They we not as good, pretty, or wealthy as she was. That meant that they were inferior, and inferior beings' opinions mattered little to her. Well, all inferior beings except one, her Omi. Ken nodded, it was somewhat surprising that Ouka had ordered *everything*. Well, she usually did buy a lot of stuff, but everything? Oh well, at least Aya would be happy.
Indeed, Aya was happy, although he didn't show it much. He just shouted at all of the girls, "ALRIGHT, EVERYONE OUT! THIS STORE IS CLOSED FOR THE DAY!" (AN: tsk tsk tsk, what a horrible temper our Aya has.) The girls all complained and grumbled under their breaths but filed out of the doors. They couldn't stay and harass the Weiss boy under the excuse that they were *checking out* the store.
Omi sighed as he swept the floor of the store. Ouka had just left after paying for everything. She had batted her eyelashes at him and sweetly said, "You'll come to the end of the year school prom with me, won't you?" Of course, he couldn't refuse, not after she had just brought everything in the whole entire store. He had been trapped in an imaginary corner. Drat!
Yohji hadn't helped matters any. He had just laughed and slung a shoulder around Omi's shoulder saying, "Of course he will! He wouldn't pass up a chance to take such a beautiful girl to the prom now, would he?" Ouka had blushed a deep shade of red, and Omi didn't have the heart to tell her no. Double drat! Sometimes Yohji could be a pain in the @$$.
The shrill ringing of the phone sounded suddenly, startling everyone. Yohji, being the closest one to it, picked it up. "Hello?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded breathless, because of what, Yohji did not know. "Mr. Fujimiya, I have great news to tell you! Your sister is showing signs of waking up!"
Yohji held the phone away from him and stared at it incredulously. Holding it next to his ear again he said, "Anno...I'm not Mr. Fujimiya, Aya is. Besides, he doesn't have a sister."
"Aya?" the voice on the other end asked, "Aya is the one waking up; Mr. Fujimiya's first name is-"
The person was cut off as Aya shoved Yohji aside and picked up the phone. When he had heard the word 'sister', he came running to the phone from the backroom. Now, he held the phone next to his ear just in time to catch the caller's last word. Ran. "Ran here," he stated bluntly, "pardon my friend for his rudeness. Now, what about my sister?"
"She's showing signs of waking up."
*****
Aya, otherwise known as Ran, rushed to the hospital after hearing this, not even bothering to brief his comrades on what was going on. The only thought running through his mind was 'Aya's waking up. Aya's waking up!' He entered the hospital and ran to Aya's room. Flinging open the door, he was greeted with the sight of nurses and doctors milling around, each doing his or her own thing.
One lady walked up to him. She was holding a clipboard and stared at him through her reddish-brown eyes. Her green hair was kept up in a high ponytail, and wire rimmed glasses were perched on her tanned nose. "Konnichi wa Mr. Fujimiya. Watashi wa Dr. Mirai. Now, if you'll just follow me, I have a few things to discuss with you."
She led him to a side room and firmly closed the door. Then, she began telling him all that had happened in the past few hours. Suddenly, the door was flung open and a young nurse stood in the entrance, "Dr. Mirai, the patiant has woken up!"
Upon hearing this, Ran jumped to his feet and rushed back into his sister's room. The doctor followed and called out all of the nurses and other doctors. When they had all left, she whispered to Ran, "I'll give you some time alone with her."
Ran nodded his wordless thanks, his eyes transfixed on the figure sitting up in the bed and staring out of the window. Her blue hair had been taken out of her braids and now hung freely, stopping just under her shoulders. Swallowing a sudden lump in his throat, Rand quietly walked up to the bed. "Aya..." he began, at a loss for words suddenly.
Slowly, she turned around, and Ran's eyes widened with shock. 'Kami-sama!' Her eyes...they were not the color that they should be...no, they weren't blue...they were violet. She opened her lips and spoke in a solemn voice, "I am not Aya. Watashi wa Hotaru...Tomoe Hotaru. Shi no serra senshi." [I am Hotaru...Hotaru Tomoe. The sailor senshi of death] Then, she closed her eyes and let a tear drip down her porcelain face, "This world is doomed."
