**********Acid Dreams**********

-- Inside the evils dream --

I was running towards ... nothing. I wasn't running at all. Darkness consumed me as I
stared around hopelessly. I felt my eyes swell up as I realised that I didn't have any friends
that really cared for me anymore. The darkness of my mind was the only thing left to
keep me sane ... if I was sane at all. People stared at me in the corridors in school
and on the streets, all whispering behind their hands and pointing rudely at my face.

Is there something on it? Something I can't see? No, of course there isn't. My arm is
the only thing that's marked ... a colossal skull created by stars and a snake for a
tongue. It shows people the life I live ... if I could show the people my life they would be
so impressed and clap my back and cheer me on. But the darkness is strangling me
like a scarf. It is always there, no matter where I go. I know the Dark Lord is watching
me ... waiting for me ... ready to kill me if I make a mistake.

She's there again. Watching me through the darkness, hiding behind the shadows
that are being produced by the golden sunlight. Sunlight. So pure and rich with goodness.
But she knows that I'm not full of light. She wouldn't hide there and point accusingly like
that if she didn't. I can see her approaching me now, her hand stretched out and her
face smiling warm and kindly. I haven't been approached like this in a long time. I want
to hold my hand out too so I can be refilled with light again.

I hold my hand out now, waiting for the girl to come closer and closer. She's watching
me now. She's mouthing my name in confusion ... she doesn't believe it either, like the
others. No one believes me. No one loves me any more. I'm dirt to them ALL!

I turn to run but she grip's my wrist -



-- The girls dorm room in Hogwarts --

I woke up with a start. I wiped my sweaty face with my nightgown sleeve. Had I been
crying? No, that was ridicules. I didn't cry. I sat up and regarded the dorm room in which
I slept. The early sun had began to rise and picked out the other beds. Peaceful breathing
told me that I had not been yelling in my sleep. I turned over to view my clock. It read:

5:30 AM

The time was no big surprise. This was the time I usually awoke from my sleep. I
was always woken by the same dream. There was a time I could remember when I
hadn't stood inside this dream, hiding in the shadows and watching the person up
ahead of me. Who was this person? I could never see their face but I knew they were
close by now. The dream was so strong and frightening. I could feel this persons thoughts.

Perhaps it wasn't a dream ... perhaps it was me being paranoid.

Perhaps.

I jumped out of bed, quietly I opened my trunk and fished out my school robes. Once I
was changed I made my way down into the Gryffindor common room. The room was
grey because of the sun light flickering in through the window. I proceeded to turn the
lights on.

The room had a few tables for working, lots of old sofas and chairs for sitting and an
old stone fireplace. I sat by a table and wiped out a small note book and quill I had
tucked away in my robes. Among other essentials like my wand, nail filer, hair brush
and pink lip gloss.

I began to write a letter in my little note book to my friends back home. What to put? I'm
having a wonderful time, not to worry and, oh yeah, the whole school knows I'm a
Senshi and a Senshi Princess. Geez, that would go down well ... especially with the
three older Outer Senshi.

In the end, after much serious thought and day dreaming out of the window I began
to write my letter. I wrote:

Dear The Wonderfully Brave Senshi (and Usagi ^^)

I'm having a wonderful time in Hogwarts though the first lessons haven't yet started.
I had that weird dream again last night, you know, the one where I hide in shadows.
Does Rei still think I'm paranoid? 'Cause I'm not. Well maybe a little ...

I could really feel some kind of presence in my dream like an evil person watching me.
Or it could have been watching the other person in my dream. And I still don't know
who this other person is! It'll drive me insane this will!

Anyhow ... oh yes. A teacher at the school kind of ... might of accidentally shouted that
I was a Senshi and a Senshi Princess to the entire school but there's nothing to worry
about. I mean it's not like the evils are going to find me here, in Hogwarts are they?

Okay I have to go. See you all soon.

Akiko!!

P.s. And don't forget to give Firefly some water, Minako! That was cruel what you did
last time.


I folded up my letter and put my note book and quill away. I looked up to find Fred standing
on the stair case, watching me. I frowned.

"What are you looking at?" I asked.

"Nothing much," came the reply. I grinned at Fred and he rolled his eyes.

"Why are you so paranoid about be watched? Is it because of some evil guy or
something?" he asked, sitting down. I shook my head, but it was a wasted lie. I
knew that Fred could see through me ... just like the Senshi.

After a while, more and more sleepy students emerged from their beds and came
down into the common room. Some students greeted the rest of us kindly while
others grunted sleepily, not really comprehending that it was dawn ... or even what
day of the week it was.

When the time was appropriate I left the common room accompanied by Harry and
Ron, who had taken it to their head that they were to "look after" me until I settled
in. As we entered the dinning hall, a small sea of faces turned towards us. Some
of the people began to whisper rudely behind their hands while others just stared
at me. I glared back, hoping to catch some eyes so as I could warn them not to mess
with me.

A guy about my age got up from a table opposite the one I was heading for. He had
bleach blonde hair and light blue eyes. He smiled kindly and held out his hand
towards me.

"Malfoy's the name. Draco Malfoy," he said. I looked at his hand as if it had a
contagious fungus on it. He took back his hand and just kept on smiling.

"Yes?" I asked rudely.

"I hear your the Senshi princess of the sun."

"Wow, your quick," I replied. Malfoy's smiled wavered.

"I was wondering if you would join me at my table instead of sitting with these
losers."

"I'm in the Gryffindor so I'm sitting at the Gryffindor table," I replied. I sat down at
the table and began to dig into a nice breakfast. Malfoy stomped away while Harry and
Ron sat beside me grinning from ear to ear.

"There's no need to grin like that," I said, not turning to them. "Malfoy's plotting revenge."

I choked on my toast, trying desperately not to laugh, as their faces dropped.

**********

After the first lesson Harry, Ron Hermione and myself made our way to the
potions lab in the dungeons. The guys filled me in on Professor Snape and
how he hated all Gryffindor's and how he would do anything to become the
Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher ... but so far he had never succeeded
in becoming it.

The potions lab was very dull and damp which wasn't to my liking, since I lived
in a sparkling crystal palace. I settled in the corner of the room with Ron beside
me, Harry beside Ron and Hermione beside Harry. Ron turned to me and opened
his mouth.

"No." I said.

"So you were kidding?"

"Yes. How many more times do you want me to reassure you that Malfoy is not
plotting revenge?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," said Hermione as she turned to face us. She glared at Ron
evilly for a moment before turning back to face the front of the class. At that
moment, Professor Snape burst into the room (I assumed this was Snape because
of the description the boys gave me).

He began to waffle about the dark arts teacher before he randomly pointed at some
worksheets on the front desk and then said something that sounded like, "Exi-per-ment."
The class exchanged looks of amusement and worry. I didn't exchanged any looks with
anyone. Some were going up to the front desk and taking worksheets and
asking questions as the passed Snape. He snapped a few times and took house points
away from "prying" students. Hermione barely survived her exciting trip to the front desk
whereas Neval pretty much keeled over before he even got to the desk!

During the experiment (this was after much debating of the ingredients and cutting them
and then more debating over who was to ask for other ingredients) Snape finally looked
up and announced that he was coming around to check our potions.

"They must be exactly right otherwise I'm deducting 50 house points."

Neval turned white and turned around to face his fellow Gryffindor's.

"I'm sorry!" he mouthed.

"What's he sorry about?" I murmured to Ron.

"He never gets anything right!" Ron whispered back. I cringed.

"50 less pointed for Gryffindor I'm guessing."

Snape turned towards me. His eyes narrowed and his pace quicken. He marched
over to where I was sitting and stood in front of my desk, towering of me.

"Have you anything to share with the class, Miss?"

"Akiko Tsukino, Sir," I replied, not looking up at the Professor.

"Tsukino? You're the Senshi princess aren't you? Your related to the King ... the dark
arts teacher."

My head shot up. I stared up at Snape in disbelief. I heard someone ask if the King
was really teaching here this year and Snape answer was positive. I began to
shake with furry. I couldn't believe that Mamoru had followed me here! That he got a
teaching job here! He wasn't even that good!

I stood up and collected my bag. I didn't ask to be excused. I could hear Snape
yelling at me to sit down and the amount of points I was losing Gryffindor didn't
seem important now. I left the classroom and stormed down the corridor. I walked
straight to the staffroom and rapped loudly on the door. A strange teacher opened
it.

"May I help you?"

"Yes, I'm looking for Mamoru Chiba or Tsukino."

"Hang on a moment please." The teacher turned away and shouted for Mr. Chiba
or Tsukino. I heard a reply. The teacher left the doorway and the space was refilled
with Mamoru.

"I can't believe you got a job teaching here!" I cried angrily. "I can't believe no one
trusts me on my own. Why did you even send me here if you don't trust me?"

"Aren't you supposed to be in class, Ki-chan?"

"Answer my question."

"It's not what you think, Ki-chan. We have to protect Hogwarts this year. I'm only
here to keep it safe," said Mamoru kindly. "After this year, you'll be coming on
you own."

"Yeah. Until you find another excuse to stay. Well let me tell you now, I am not
speaking to you whlie you are here, understood? I am trying to be independent
and even you stood by me on that one!"

"Okay."

"Good. I'm going back to class."

"Alright."

And with that, Mamoru shut the door.
