Rating: PG-13
Um, this chapter sucks. Yeah.. But I wrote this for my release. I would like reviews but. ::sigh: they aren't necessary. I can live without them.
Rei: Well, I can't!
Alcandre: Shh, Rei! I'm using reverse physiology.
Rei: Whatever.
Anyway. ::laughs nervously:; um, I don't own Sailor Moon. On with the story!!!!!!
I should have known I wouldn't be able to wake up from the dream. I never realized how extremely difficult it is to wake up from a sleep that feels restless but is really deep in reality. So, when the darkness surrounded me once more as I fell asleep, I felt defeated when I couldn't wake myself up.
I was literally trying to pinch myself in my dream but it didn't work. Stupid person who came up with that. It doesn't work! I just became more frantic and started crying and nothing had happened yet.
And then, I feel a presence. I look up, expecting to see the stranger once again. But.I wasn't looking at someone I didn't know. I was actually looking at myself, only younger. That is very disturbing. I mean, you can see pictures of yourself from when you're younger, but actually standing there, in front of a younger you, is not something I want to experience everyday.
Anyway, the darkness seemed to part for. Chibi Rei. No darkness swallowed her like it was swallowing me. And. she seemed so innocent. Then, she spoke.
"Rei-chan," she says. I jump at that. Seeing me was one thing. Hearing me speak was another. "Please. listen to me."
I just stare at me.er, her. Chibi Rei is dressed in shorts and a cute little shirt with flowers all over it. Her large eyes, so much like my own now, are unblinking and full of trust.
"Nani?" I ask, not getting over the fact that I'm watching myself.
"Rei," she sighs and walks closer to me. "Come with me."
Right then, I feel like Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" with the ghost of Christmas past. but I take her hand anyway. Right as my hand touches hers I feel a rush of wind and I am standing in front of my childhood home. I hadn't been there since my dad took me to the shrine to be with Grandpa.
I look down at Chibi Rei, but she isn't there beside me anymore. I gasp and look around only to see her a little ways off, sitting in the grass, looking longingly across the street.
I feel a tearing at my heart as I start to remember this particular moment in my life. My mom had just died a week before and my dad was always gone; off on business or just. gone. I had someone to look after me, I called her Grandma but she wasn't really related to me in anyway. She would make me cookies and read me stories. I loved being with her but a little girl of 5 needs to have a child playmate. I longed for one, with all my heart. And everyday, I would sit outside and watch the neighborhood children play tag or hide-and-seek with envy.
On this particular day, I was especially sad because my dad had promised he would be home at noon but he called at one o'clock to tell me that he had to stay a little later than he thought.
Anyway, I watched as Chibi Rei slowly stood up and started walking over to the other kids. I wanted to shout for her to stop, I knew she was about to get hurt, I had already experienced this once in my lifetime. I didn't want to have to see it as a spectator.
"Minna!" Chibi Rei shouted as she crossed the street.
The other kids stopped playing and watched as Chibi Rei came towards them. Right as she got across the street and was in the yard, a tall girl, probably around eight came up to her, smirking.
"Why, hello, Rei-chan!"
I watched myself smile in delight. "Hello, Yuri! May I play with you?"
The taller girl smiled. "Why?"
Chibi Rei frowned in confusion. "Nani?"
I felt my heart wrench in pain. Iie, I thought, just stop!
Yuri smirked again and then laughed. "Why would we let you play with us? You are such a freak!" The other kids laughed and a few yelled out "Freak!"
Chibi Rei's eyes watered over and her lower lip trembled. "Demo-."
Yuri suddenly pushed Chibi Rei and the young girl stumbled back, tears running down her face.
I remembered with a start that I decided that day, to never make the first move in a friendship. I would harden my heart to everyone, unless they showed that they cared for me.
Then, the darkness was around me again. It startles me; I was in such deep thought. Chibi Rei is in front of me again.
"Remember that moment, Rei," she says. "That was when the Darkness entered your life."
I begin to REALLY feel like Scrooge. I expect her to say "Now Hino-san, you must open your heart and love everyone, be like Tiny Tim and may God bless us. everyone."
Thank, Kami. She didn't. She just smiled a sad smile and slowly disappeared.
Now, I try to wake again. I mean, that was a lot; seeing myself, in person, and watching an event that happened years ago. But no. The gods didn't seem to want to let me wake up. I slept on. scared of what would happen next.
"Rei."
Oh gods..
There. I would like reviews to tell me if I should continue. But. ya know. Um, yeeeaaahhh. I'll let ya go now.
