"Usagi?" Mars said again in disbelief. "The klutz?"
I bristled, "Hey!" I resent that. I thought I've gotten pretty graceful over the years.
"YOU'RE Moonlight?" She exclaimed.
"What's so hard to believe? That I can fight better than you? That I saved your lives numerous times?" I retorted.
"It's... YOU."
I rolled my eyes, "Grow up Rei. The world doesn't revolve around you." Everyone gasped as I shook my head and cringed. Made another mistake... "You guys might as well power down. It takes a lot of energy keeping up the disguise."
"How... how..." They sputtered.
I just can't keep my mouth shut can I? "Just power down. I'll tell you everything."
Mercury was the first to do so, followed by Jupitar and Venus. Mars was the last. Mamoru was just Mamoru. He must have powered down when I wasn't looking at him. "What is going on here?" Ami asked. "How... how can you be... be..."
"I can tell you the truth and you won't believe me. I can tell you lies and you STILL won't believe me. How about I tell you nothing and you just trust me?" That was too much to hope for.
"Try us." Rei snapped.
With a sigh, I told them, "I've came from an alternate universe parallel to this one. In that universe, I was Sailor Moon, Princess of the Moon Kingdom. You were my guardians." I delievered this in a monotone and could see the wheels in their heads turning. Laughter.
"You're kidding right?" Makoto asked. "Right?" She asked again, a little unsure this time.
I shook my head. "I don't know everything about you guys. I don't know who Sailor Moon is. I don't know who the Moon Princess is. I really don't know anything more than you do..." Well, I know a little bit more, but they certainly didn't need to know that. These were my guardians. The ones that were destined to protect me. Me! Klutzy Usagi
Tsukino. I wanted normal and I've gotten it. But what now? What do I have to lose to achieve this goal? Silence reigned. "Well?" I asked, "Isn't anybody going to say anything?"
Rei stepped up, "If we knew what to say, we'd say that already!" She snapped at me again.
"Rei!" Ami reprimended sharply.
With a scoff, I stood and picked up my things, "I don't have time for this. I have to go do my homework. Have a nice life." I was just at the door when Minako finally spoke.
"Have a nice life? Is that all you could say?" She asked me. "You said so yourself, you used to be Sailor Moon. You know the dangers of what will befall us if we don't find Sailor Moon!"
My jaw tense, I shot them a look, "Just find Luna." I told them, leaving them to figure things out themselves. I saw Artemis there. He should remember her. Probably already seen her already. This wasn't how I figured things to be. They took everything in too well. There's going to be some consequences. Just what exactly is it though?
"Meow." I looked down at the cat walking beside me. The crescent moon. Great. I just finished talking to them about Luna. And now I've found her. What is this? Some kind of story that some dumb author wrote up? Why is it that my life is always like this? I can't find fulfillment. I wanted NORMAL. This is NOT normal! With a sigh, I picked up the cat, "It's not like I'll be satisfied with it anyways." I muttered, staring into Luna's eyes. "All right, kitty-kat. What do you want?"
"Meow?" She tilted her head to one side and looked at me, hissing when I dangled her by the scruff of her neck.
"Talk, Luna!" I ordered her. Damn it! Damn my freaking life to hell!
"Excuse me." I turned around to see a young girl about my age. The soft sunset casted shadows in her flaxen hair, "What are you doing to my cat?" B. E. A utiful! I've just found Sailor Moon! Lucky me.
+ Part Two : Warnings +
"I love you."
She turned away from him, "No you don't." Her eyes closed to stop the tears that wanted to fall. He can't see. She is not part of this world. Not a part of him. "You..."
"Don't deny this, Usagi." He told her, turning her around and taking her hands, "I know you. I know your soul. I can feel it. You are the one I'm meant to be with forever."
"You're mistaken. You do NOT love me! I am not... not..." Her voice faltered, she could see Nao standing at the doorway. She had to end it quickly, "You're in love with the woman in your dreams." She said softly, wrenching her hands away from him, "Not me. Never me." She ignored the silent protest of her soul and walked quietly to Nao, willing her tears to stay confined inside her. She will free them when she's alone. But not now. She couldn't show weakness.
"But you are Serenity..." He said quietly to himself as he watched her talk to the girl that she said was the Sailor Moon of their universe. "And I, Endymion, am in love with only you."

Life is sick and twisted. I stared at the two with melancholy, head on table, a long straw connected my mouth to a chocolate ice-cream sundae. Yeah, Motoki knew how I felt. Said it was my own fault. But I couldn't mess with true destiny! Even if he was destined to be with me... damn my unselfish nature! Damn it!!
"Heartbroken?" A female voice said, sliding up to a booth next to me. I turned to look at her, "I know the feeling."
Yeah... Ami loved Mamoru also... I wish I never found Nao. It's just not fair! Three months ago, she was just an orphan! An orphan that a black cat with a crescent moon found and is supposedly the protector of the moon, yes, but she was just an orphan! No friends, no relationships! Nothing! I wish I never found her. I guess it's too much to ask if the world would just open a large hole and swallow her up. with a groan, I tried to look away. She's sitting too close to him. Too close I dare say! He's not interested, girl! Back off! I hear Ami stood up and looked at her with curiousity. She tilted her head outside and held out her henshin stick. "Mamoru! Nao!" She called to them. "We have to go!" I continued to look at her and she shook her head, "We'll be fine." She assured me. Yeah, ever since Nao came, they needed me less and less. It should be ME that fights beside them! ME! Usagi! I hate being normal. I hate being weak!
I followed just in case. Like I've always done. I watched as they transformed. Watched as they fought. There's something suspicious about Nao though. In every battle, she managed to win. It's as if she knows where the weak points on the youma is... but that can't be right. Even Mercury couldn't pinpoint the weak points. And true to form, she was the one that dispatched the youma once again.
She smilled brillantly at the Senshi, "Listen, I have to go... Luna wants me back early."
"Do you want me to wlak you back?" Mamoru asked, stepping closer.
NO! She does NOT need you! I wanted to shout at him. I was the one meant for him. WE are suppose to be... but I wished myself into this place. I can't mess with their destiny.
She shook her head and my heart soared, "No, it's not necessary. I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself." She caressed his cheek and walked off. But something's not right. My intuition was usually not wrong. So I followed her. Weaving up and down the streets of Tokyo, I followed her into the Crystal tower. This was where Mamoru fought with Zoicite for the shards...
"Everything is going to plan, I take it." Beryl! I snuck a peek out of my hiding place and saw her looking into a mirror, an evil smile on her face. Ohhh, I knew that girl was up to no good!
"Yes, my Queen..." Nao hesitated, "My Queen, I want to ask a favor."
Beryl smiled her twisted smile and nodded, "You wish Mamoru to be spared."
Nao flushed. So she DOES have designs on my Mamo-chan! "Yes." She said quietly.
Beryl only laughed, "Fear not. He will be yours soon enough." The mirror went blank and Nao turned around. "You can come out now." She told me coldly.
"How could you?" I asked her, steeping from the shadows. "You're Sailor Moon."
She snorted, "Sailor Moon. So what? It hasn't helped me yet."
"But... you're sworn to right wrongs and triumph over evil..." Dear God! That sounded lame!
"Try knowing all that when you're just ten years old and still fighting off bullys in an orphanage." She told me. "Try knowing all that when the Priests take you into their offices and say they needed to 'save' you from yourself." Her voice was cold and filled with contempt. "They 'purified' me," She spat, "By forcing themselves on me!"
Oh God... I watched her eyes. They held the beginnings of tears, but she wouldn't let them fall. She held them in and let them poison her.
"Beryl helped me destroy them. She took me under her wing and raised me."
"So now you're going to turn your back on the people of Earth because of what happened?" Okay, I can see that, but still!
She only nodded, "This is only the beginning, little bunny." She told me. "Darkness will triumph." She laughed, "And do you know why?"
Numbly, I shook my head.
"Because the Moon Princess was not reborn."

Whoa. Long time, ne? ON my other fics, I update regularly, but this one I don't... I guess I owe you guys an explanation... Well... I write this fic as I go and the others, I already have a few chapters waiting in line to be updated.
Don't worry, I'll try and update this with my other ones... there's only like, one or two more chapters. I know my grammer bites, but that's only cuz I don't have a beta reader and I'm trying to update as fast as I can, so I didn't run a grammer check through it. I'll do that AFTER I finish. ^^;;
moondust-angel - Hehe... well, the important thing is that I updated!
Sorceress Usagi - Thankies ^^ I only hope that I can continue to update... ^^;;;
