Author's notes...
Well, the few people who have reviewed this story so far, THANK YOU!!!! When I read reviews I feel so loved. I really lack self esteem and I HATE my fanfics. I don't know why I keep writing them. Anyways, now the real story will begin. Please bear with me as I don't exactly know what will happen. I have some ideas though...
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon but I shall keep trying
"KODOKU!!" a voice bellowed from the other room. "ARE YOU AWAKE YET??" Kodoku, well rather Usagi, sat up in bed. She had just had the strangest dream. In her dream the world was fresh and green. Not like reality where everything was dead and everyone lived in poverty with the exception of royalty. She and eight other girls fought to protect this fresh green world. In the end they lost. She was the last killed. Then, just before she was awakened she saw a black cat with a crescent moon on it's forehead approach her.
"Sailormoon," It said. Then she was awakened.
"KODOKU YOU BITCH!! ARE YOU AWAKE???" Queen Shi yelled.
"Yes ma'am," Usagi answered. She quickly got dressed in her clothes that had been reduced to rags and did her hair in her classic buns. She ran out of her small room and went to cater to her queen's every will.
"What took you so long?" Queen Shi asked.
"Gomen nasai Shi-sama. I had a dream which I stopped to think about for a moment," Usagi answered.
"A dream?" the queen asked with a worried expression. "About what?" So Usagi told her about it. Concern spread across the queens face. All these years she had kept Usagi from knowing about Sailormoon, but it was so obvious that she was the reincarnation of Serenity. "Dammit!" the Queen Shi shouted and yanked Usagi's hair out of the buns.
"I am sorry your majesty! What have I done?" Usagi asked and fell to her knees.
"Nothing child. But you may never wear your hair like that again. If you do I will have you killed." Usagi didn't know WHY she couldn't wear her hair like that. She had been doing so as long as she could remember. But she wouldn't argue with the queen because doing so would cost her her life.
"Hai your majesty," she answered.
"Now take these plates back to the kitchen," Shi demanded. Usagi picked them up and took them back into the kitchen. Suddenly there was a loud crash. Usagi could be heard from the other room begging for forgiveness. She was such a klutz.
Later that day Usagi was strolling down the corridors with her friends, Ami, Minako, and Michiru, who were also Shi's servants. Usagi told them all about her dream. Ami told her that she had heard stories of the legendary Sailormoon who should be ruling them instead of Queen Shi.
"But where can I find out more?" Usagi asked.
"Try the library," Michiru said. Usagi and Minako both made a face and began to say how much they dreaded the place of books. As much as Usagi hated the library she decided she would sneak in that night and look up Sailormoon in the restricted section. How she knew it would be in the restricted section she wasn't sure. She just knew that's where it would be.
So that night she snuck down to the library and searched through book after book for information about Sailormoon. She opened the fifth book an found a picture of the same crescent moon cat from her dream on it. She read the caption beneath it.
Luna was Sailormoon's guardian cat. She had the ability to speak and was the one who awakened Sailormoon, who had been known as Usagi.
Usagi. She knew that name. But her name was Kodoku. Suddenly she thought she heard someone moving in the halls. She closed all the books and put them carefully back on the shelf.She returned to her room and went to sleep. That night she had another dream. It was almost like she was in a cloud. She felt so at ease there. Then she saw the cat again. "Sailormoon?" the cat asked.
"Are you...Luna...?" Usagi asked.
"Yes I am. Watashi wa Luna, " she said.
"But why do you keep calling me Sailormoon? My name is Kodoku. I'm not a soldier, I'm a servant girl," Usagi asked.
"You are many things Usagi," the cat said. Suddenly Usagi was awakened again. She got dressed and went downstairs.
"Did you have anymore dreams?" The queen asked her when she arrived.
"Yes ma'am. I did actually," Usagi said.
"Well tell me." the queen demanded. So Usagi told her about the cat named Luna. She didn't know why Queen Shi was so interested, she never had been before. She also didn't know how close Queen Shi was to ordering have her to be killed. Why the queen didn't kill her was also unknown to her. Queen Shi just couldn't bring herself to do it. "Thank you Kodoku," the queen said. "You are dismissed for now."
"Arigato Shi-sama," Usagi said and left. When Shi was sure she was gone she motioned for her guards.
"I want you to kill every cat on this bloody planet. If Sailormoon is awakened you can say 'bye bye birdy!'"
"Yes your Majesty," the guard answered.
*****************ELSE WHERE ON THE PLANET *****************
A small black cat with orange eyes dodged two heavily armed guards as they attempted once again to catch her. They both jumped at her at once, but she dodged them again. They both lay there for a few minutes. The cat cautiously approached them and nudged them each with her head. Unconscious. That made her job easier. She slowly walked out in the street, the crescent moon on her forehead shinning brightly. She knew she could out-smart and out-run any guard. She had a mission.
"Myao!!" the little cat mewed happily. Suddenly the cat looked forward and glared down the path. Her orange eyes glittered in the sunlight. More guards. "Here we go again!" she whispered and took off running.
