Okay, I do not own SM, Naoko Takeuchi does. I do not own
Daughters of the Moon, Lynne Ewing does. But I have had
this idea for a while, it took a little fine-tuning...
Celes: GET ON WITH IT! OKAY? WE WA- MMPH MMPH!!!!
Me: *Looks at Celes in confusion, and sees the sock
in her mouth* Who?
Chibi-kun: *Walks away, whistling innocently*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tsukino Usagi was sitting down, waiting to board the
hikouki ((airplane)) at Tokyo no Kuukou ((Tokyo Airport))
with her two brothers.
All of a sudden, the chatter around them stopped as
the voice came over the intercom.
"The first class passengers for the flight from Tokyo
to Los Angeles may now board."
Usagi stood up. She had used the ginzuishou to make her
hair back to it's original color, blonde, and straight
again, instead of how she had it before. How had she
had it before? Black and curly. She was going back.
Back to being Serena Killingsworth. Back to being the
Telepathic Daughter of the Moon. Back to her best
friend Jimena. Back to Catty, Tianna, and Vanessa.
Her eyes closed, tears starting to come out with the
last thought. The last thought being: Back to Stanton.
She closed her eyes, the dark promise still in her
mind, as she sat down in the first class seat next
to Collin, her surfer brother who could never
tan, only burn.
**Flashback**
Walking home from cello practice, trying to hurry.
She and the girls had gone through this plan time
and again, but she had not expressed her fears to
the girls. Her fears of the man she loved. Not
fears that he would harm her, but that she would
not be able to say no to him. She knew that if he
cornered her, which he would, that she would not
be able to say no.
Suddenly, in front of her, he morphed out of shadow
and into his usual form. She gasped, he had scared
the hell out of her. He smiled a not so nice smile
at her, like the cat who had just caught the canary
and grabbed her before she could move.
'Soon you'll have nothing to fear.' His telepathy
invaded her thoughts. He kept talking, whispering
pledges of love, and a dark promise to make her his
for all of eternity.
She knew she had to be strong, so she got all of the
steely resolve she could, which wasn't much, and
glared at him. She felt the warrior-goddess in her.
She felt his mind open up and knew he was expecting
a fight. So, she did what she knew he would not
expect. She dropped her cello case, threw her
books at him, and ran.
'You can't escape me.' He sent to her mind. Damn him!
She had to try. She had to sound more confident than
she was at the moment. 'That's what you think.' She sent
to him.
She ducked under a bougainvillea. Braches snapped back
and thorns scraped her forehead. She was so tempted to
scream "Itai!" and get out but that would mean facing
Stanton, and she wasn't about to do that.
She turned into the yard of an empty house and
disappeared.
'Stupid mistake.' His voice sighed into her mind. She had
her senses branched out. He was walking after her.
WALKING! Like Michael Myers! She bit back a whimper.
'There won't be any pain', he promised her, 'Only an
eternity together. Come back to me.'
There was a problem with that whole eternity together
thing.
The problem?
That was exactly what she wanted.
Next thing she knew, she saw that she was cornered. She
bit back another whimper.
'Sweet goddess. I've only come to seal our destiny. You
shouldn't feel so afraid of me.'
She saw that her moon amulet was shooting white light
across the night. He moved to touch her. No! If he
did, it would all be over. She jerked away and ran for
the redwood fence, desparately trying to get over it.
She felt his hand on her arm and froze as he pulled her
down. She couldn't stop shaking.
He pulled her closer to him, touched her chin, and lifted
her face. She had a sheen of sweat on her skin from all
the running and ducking. She glared at him, but it was
weak. She wasn't preparing to fight at all. She could feel
the disappointment rolling off of him in waves. Disappointment
of her lack of fighting him. She felt him pressing into her
mind, examining her thoughts.
He read one of her thoughts, then stared at her.
"Then why didn't you let me explain?" He asked in a hushed
tone. He felt how much his turning Maryann to the Atrox
had hurt her. He started apologizing, when all of a sudden
he stopped. 'Then you should have let me explain.' He said
to her mind, anger filling it.
Her head jerked back, his sudden temper ripped through her
and it hurt so bad. He started going into her mind again, when
she spoke up.
"I didn't trust you." She defended.
'You will soon.'
"How could I?" She started speaking quicker, because she
knew... he wanted to turn her over to the Atrox... to
make her a Follower... "Jimena finally told me what she
saw in her premonitions."
"So?" He was getting impatient. She could feel how anxious
he was to take her to the other side.
"Jimena saw you recruiting someone in her first premonition.
When that came true, I assumed that the others would, too.
That made it impossible to trust you."
"You should have trusted me," He answered her. She felt him
again enter her thoughts. He stopped. He was suspicious! He
spun around, looking.
"Stanton," She touched his face softly, hoping to
distract him. It worked, if only a little. He was
pulled back to her.
"Do you sense anything?"
"Only the wind," She said smoothly, "It's blowing papers
around the yard."
He followed her finger to see a yellowed page from the
"Times" rolling like a tumbleweed. He held his hand up
to the breeze, to check it. The night was still. He
started to walk over to investigate.
This made her nervous. "Stanton," She called to him, her
voice more nervous than she wanted it to be. He turned
back to her. He was very suspicious now. She had to bring
his attention back to her or the plan wouldn't work.
"Cassandra found me." She said.
"I assumed she had," He said, looking around suspiciously.
"She brought me to the club in Silver Lake so I could see
the truth about you." She stepped in front of him and tried
to make him look at her.
"She set us up," He answered, and pushed her hands away. He
turned around to look behind him.
"At first I wasn't going to go, but I did and-" She stopped.
Jimena, Vanessa, and Catty materialized beside her. Vanessa's
power of invisibility had come in handy. "I'm sorry," Usagi
whispered to Stanton. They began trying to break his bondage
to the Atrox.
**End Flashback**
She jolted up.
"Waa!" She shrieked, fist flying.
"Ouch!" Screeched the stewardess, as Usagi had hit her
in the nose.
"Gomen nasai! I didn't mean to do that!"
She heard chuckling right next to her.
"Good going, Imouto." Collin chuckled. "I think you broke her nose."
"Shizuka, Aniki." ((Be quiet, Big brother)) (AN: Aniki is an
affectionate way to say Oniisan.)
She looked at her twelve year old brother, Shingo, and sighed. Back
to America. Back to Stanton. Those words continued to repeat in
her mind. She clicked her tongue ring nervously against her teeth.
The same way she had when she had first met Stanton.
"Stanton..." She muttered, and continued clicking her tongue ring.
"Tomete, Imouto. That clicking is getting annoying."
((Tomete means stop, it's in command form))
"Aniki!" She shouted in annoyance.
"So, who's Stanton?" Shingo asked.
"Stanton is her boyfriend!" Collin said.
"ANIKI!" She shouted.
"Haha! You have a boyfriend, Usagi? Dad's gonna blow a gasket! I can't
wait to tell him!" He shouted.
"Tell me what?" Her father, Kenji, asked, flipping his elegant black
hair out of his eyes.
"Usagi's got a boyfriend!" Shingo shouted.
"NANI!?!?!?!?!?" Her father shouted angrily.
"Come on otousan, it's about time, isn't it?" Collin asked.
"True." He said with a nod.
Usagi sighed in relief.
"HOWEVER!" Her father thundered, "I get to meet this guy. Invite
him over to meet me within two days of our return to America, got
it Musume?"
She went into shock and could only nod dumbly. No no no no!
This was bad. She'd have to be around him. Wait wasn't this
a good thing? That meant he didn't have to sneak into her
room at night and scare the hell out of her. She always woke
up just as he had left. Honestly, she didn't know what it did
more: Piss her off, excite her, slightly arouse her (though she
had no idea why), or scare her. She shook her head. Better to
just go with the flow. She didn't want to piss off her dad.
"Alright Otousan. I'll talk to him when we get back."
"Good." Her father said, calming down, and laying back in his
seat.
"Lucky Otousan didn't get too mad with you, Imouto, or it would
have been a long flight for you." Collin said.
Honestly! Did he always have to point out the obvious?!?!
"SHINGO!" She screamed as he was fighting with a steward.
"SHINGO NO! DON'T HURT THE STEWARD!!!!" Her father screamed as
Shingo punched at the steward for taking his gameboy.
"Everytime..." Collin muttered.
Usagi didn't care. She put on her headphones on and listened to
Outkast "The Land of a Million Drums". Mightaswell, since her
brother reminded her of Scooby Doo. (All who understand that, get
a cookie)
She started singing a little bit "In the land of a million drums
there is always somethin going on, on, on, on..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They got off the plane at Los Angeles Airport, Usagi thinking about
Stanton. In fact, you could tell by the song she was listening to...
Shingo was snickering. "Someone's got something more on her mind
than I wana know about." He muttered.
"Shingo!" Shouted Kenji.
"Dammit." Shingo swore.
Usagi wasn't listening. She was singing. "Twist at this feeling...
Lust, blood, bold... love... and I know... yes I know, but is this
real? And I know, yes I know, but is this real.... twist about the
bold love... twisted... twisted, is this real?"
Kenji looked up. He unplugged Usagi's headphones. "It may be real, but
you won't have any twisted bold love until you are married."
Usagi sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?"
"Hai."
"Don't do it anymore. I meant what I said. Understand?"
"Hai."
"Good."
Usagi rolled her eyes and grabbed her suitcase. She read her father's
mind. He was worried about her, because he already knew that she was
Sailor Moon (used to be Sailor Moon), and also knew that she was a
Daughter of the Moon, and knew about who and what Stanton was. He
knew that she wanted to be with Stanton. He just wanted to be sure
that she'd be taken care of, and he loved her and was honored to have
her as his daughter whether she was evil or good.
'Doomo Arigatou Otousan.' She said into his mind. He jumped.
'I'm used to you being able to read minds, you've been doing it
forever. Just stop frightening me, okay?'
'Hai.'
'I am so scared for you. I don't want to lose you.'
'You won't lose me.'
'How can you be so sure?'
'When Stanton went back to the Atrox, he kept his love for me in him.
I did not lose him. You won't lose me.'
Her father sighed. 'You're right.'
She grinned. 'Of course I am.'
'Glad to see you aren't conceited.'
'Moi? Non.'
'Stop going all linguist on me.'
She smiled, and they walked outside.
"How are we getting home?" She asked her brother.
"Takushi." ((Taxi)) He answered.
"Great," She deadpanned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After she had unpacked most of her things...
Usagi sighed. She felt the air in her room shift, and for
a minute hoped it would be Stanton. She shook her head.
"Why the hell would Stanton be in my room this early?" She
asked herself aloud. "Besides, if he knew everything about
me, he wouldn't come near me again." She sighed, and
flopped on her back, on her bed. Tears were starting to
come into her eyes.
She punched her pillow.
"Kami-sama everything is so messed up! Stanton's going
to hate me, my father is scared for me, my little brother
just gave a steward a black eye, I accidentally broke a
stewardess' nose... and Collin is going to see Jimena
tonight so they'll know I'm back... chikusho." She
muttered, closing her eyes, making tears flow down her
cheeks.
She felt the air move again, and jolted up, looking at
her balcony, making sure that it was shut. It was. She
sighed. "I am so paranoid."
She started to flop back on her bed when she landed on
something. She felt two arms go around her. It was
SOMEONE! She started to scream, when she heard something
in her mind.
'It's only me. Don't scream, Serena.'
She looked up, and saw Stanton was the one holding her.
"You recognized me?"
"Not at first." He said calmly.
"But then..."
"Your voice, and the fact that your piercings are in order."
"You can't see my tongue ring!" She said adamantly.
He leaned down, pulled her mouth open, and gave her a
quick kiss.
"It's there." He said somewhat smugly.
She was silent.
"Now..." He said, "Why would I hate you?"
She sighed. "Well, first of all I'm not American, I'm
Japanese. I was born in the Juuban District of Tokyo, Japan.
My natural hair color is blonde, my natural eye color is
blue, my father and brothers know I am a Daughter of the
Moon." She started.
He looked surprised.
"I was also not the direct daughter of Selene because
Selene had to marry into royalty of the universe," she
said, and explained to him about that.
"She had a daughter with the King of the Sun Kingdom, King
Sol. They had my mother, Selenity. Selenity fell in love
with Prince Kenji of Pluto. And for three years, since I
was thirteen... I was a Sailor Senshi, like my Aunt Setsuna.
Setsuna is my father's sister..." She explained to him
about being a Sailor Senshi.
Then, she got to the part about Chiba Mamoru.
"And we dated for a good while..." She stopped when she
heard him growl. She explained how their relationship had
gone, and how he had pissed her off at how he constantly
pressured her for sex, and then she found out that he
had been cheating on her with random girls.
"He tried to make me feel guilty about it, by saying that
I wouldn't sleep with him so he had to find some release, but
I said if he had really loved me, he would have waited.
I cussed him out, and he grabbed me... he started shaking
me, so I broke his nose, gave him two black eyes, and
slapped him."
He was staring at her in shock.
She finished up. "I... I understand if you hate me for not
telling you, and if you are mad, or..." She stopped.
She had to. He was kissing her. Infact, it looked pretty
bad. They were on her bed, her on top of him, in a
tight pair of jeans and a halter top that was riding up
because he was running his hands up and down her sides.
All of a sudden, the door flew open. Both stopped as the
light from the hall was across them.
"Oh my kami-sama! Usagi, I'm telling Otousan!" He shouted, then
took a picture.
Both Usagi and Stanton's eyes widened. "What's Usawgi?"
"It's my real name. It means rabbit.... don't ask. I have
to kill my little brother right now. Want to join me?"
Stanton nodded. "Of course... Usagi." She smiled.
"Say it again." She said.
"Of course?" He asked.
"No, the part where you said my real name." She said.
He smiled. "Usagi." She threw her arms around him and kissed
him.
They heard the sound of someone clearing their throats.
"Aniki?"
"Yea." Collin said.
"Your real name is Aniki?" Asked Stanton.
"No, my real name is Collin. Aniki means big brother."
Stanton nodded. "Why is your hair green?"
"My little brother." He growled.
"Let's get him." Usagi said.
They all ran down the hall, and towards the stairs, Usagi
and Collin shouting "SHINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well? Have I gone nuts? Methinks so!
Chibi-kun: I don't! I think you are wonderful!

She started to flop back on her bed when she landed on
something. She felt two arms go around her. It was
SOMEONE! She started to scream, when she heard something
in her mind.
'It's only me. Don't scream, Serena.'
She looked up, and saw Stanton was the one holding her.
"You recognized me?"
"Not at first." He said calmly.
"But then..."
"Your voice, and the fact that your piercings are in order."
"You can't see my tongue ring!" She said adamantly.
He leaned down, pulled her mouth open, and gave her a
quick kiss.
"It's there." He said somewhat smugly.
She was silent.
"Now..." He said, "Why would I hate you?"
She sighed. "Well, first of all I'm not American, I'm
Japanese. I was born in the Juuban District of Tokyo, Japan.
My natural hair color is blonde, my natural eye color is
blue, my father and brothers know I am a Daughter of the
Moon." She started.
He looked surprised.
"I was also not the direct daughter of Selene because
Selene had to marry into royalty of the universe," she
said, and explained to him about that.
"She had a daughter with the King of the Sun Kingdom, King
Sol. They had my mother, Selenity. Selenity fell in love
with Prince Kenji of Pluto. And for three years, since I
was thirteen... I was a Sailor Senshi, like my Aunt Setsuna.
Setsuna is my father's sister..." She explained to him
about being a Sailor Senshi.
Then, she got to the part about Chiba Mamoru.
"And we dated for a good while..." She stopped when she
heard him growl. She explained how their relationship had
gone, and how he had pissed her off at how he constantly
pressured her for sex, and then she found out that he
had been cheating on her with random girls.
"He tried to make me feel guilty about it, by saying that
I wouldn't sleep with him so he had to find some release, but
I said if he had really loved me, he would have waited.
I cussed him out, and he grabbed me... he started shaking
me, so I broke his nose, gave him two black eyes, and
slapped him."
He was staring at her in shock.
She finished up. "I... I understand if you hate me for not
telling you, and if you are mad, or..." She stopped.
She had to. He was kissing her. Infact, it looked pretty
bad. They were on her bed, her on top of him, in a
tight pair of jeans and a halter top that was riding up
because he was running his hands up and down her sides.
All of a sudden, the door flew open. Both stopped as the
light from the hall was across them.
"Oh my kami-sama! Usagi, I'm telling Otousan!" He shouted, then
took a picture.
Both Usagi and Stanton's eyes widened. "What's Usawgi?"
"It's my real name. It means rabbit.... don't ask. I have
to kill my little brother right now. Want to join me?"
Stanton nodded. "Of course... Usagi." She smiled.
"Say it again." She said.
"Of course?" He asked.
"No, the part where you said my real name." She said.
He smiled. "Usagi." She threw her arms around him and kissed
him.
They heard the sound of someone clearing their throats.
"Aniki?"
"Yea." Collin said.
"Your real name is Aniki?" Asked Stanton.
"No, my real name is Collin. Aniki means big brother."
Stanton nodded. "Why is your hair green?"
"My little brother." He growled.
"Let's get him." Usagi said.
They all ran down the hall, and towards the stairs, Usagi
and Collin shouting "SHINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
