A Story To Remember
Chapter 4: Interlude. Mirai To Pluto
"The future was hers to see, but it came with a horrible price."
My name is Mirai Noriyuki. I am 22 yrs old. I live at CC private school, and attend the college as well. I wasn't always Mirai though. I can remember a time when I was someone else. My parents named me Tetsuya...until they were taken away. I had an older brother, a twin, named Tetsuro...until he was killed. That doesn't matter. The important thing to know is that I KNEW it would happen before it DID happen. Sound weird? It goes on. Ever since I was young, I was able to see the future...Not ALL of it. Just some of it. Enough to know when my mother was going to drop the vase on the floor, or that my brother would get a 56% on his next quiz. As I got older, my power increased and I began to see the futures of other people besides my family and myself. I remember talking to my mother about it when I was 6. She told me I shouldn't play games like that with her. My father, however, started calling me Mirai all the time. Followed by my brother, then my friends, and finally, my mother. My name was soon after legally changed to Mirai. It was only when I was 12 that things started to get really bad. I started to see images of terrifying things. They were the futures of my friends, my family, sometimes of people I didn't even know....Then one day, when my brother and I were about 17...My parents changed. Just like that. They called me evil and malicious. Telling me I was bringing bad luck to them and the people around me. My brother always stood up for me, often taking blows meant for me. Once, they hit him too hard. We were all upstairs, arguing as usual. And, as usual, my brother was protecting me. My father and mother lashed out at the same time, and my brother took the hit. But it was too brutal. He wobbled slightly before falling down the stairs. I recall the sound. These horrible thumping sounds as he went tumbling down the stairs and a soft "THWACK", when he hit the hard floor of the bottom. I remember the thought that whispered in my mind as my mother started screaming.
'He's gonna die Mirai. You know it. He's broken his neck and now he's gonna die.'
I looked from my mother than back to Tetsuro . At my father, on the phone calling the medics. I stared at my beloved brother as my mother cried and screamed beside him. The blue bruise on his face from the blow my parents dealt him. His legs and arms sprawled out around him. Blood poured from his mouth, gushing from his warm, blue lips. His eyes were glazed and his neck was twisted sickeningly. I knew then that my premonition was right. He was dead. And then, as I gazed at his gyrated form, I smiled vaguely as my mother looked up at me...Horror written on her tear-stained face.
My parents were admitted to a mental hospital shortly after that. The death of my brother had destroyed them and I, now 18, was living on my own. My premonitions and feelings about the future grew and grew until I knew what I would wear Monday of the next week, or I knew what some guy would be wearing on a Tuesday 2 yrs into the impending. But I also knew when someone would die. Never the EXACT date, but I always got a feeling whenever I passed someone whether they would die soon or not. Sounds scary doesn't it? When I turned 21 met Madison Lafayette. She was 20 at the time and the prettiest girl I had ever seen. I met her at an art gallery in Italy. She was traveling alone, and as we talked it turned out she was having family problems of her own.
'She won't die for a long time.' I thought as I watched her.
She was full of life and had a wonderful accent. After inquiring, I discovered she was from France, hence her accent. We became friends quickly and when we both attended CC private school, Madison for art, and myself for track, I knew we would be together for a long time. Then I met Pluto.
Guardian of the Time Gates was what she told me. Madison was asleep when we met though. She knew of my powers, and the feelings I got from people. It was from her that I discovered that I would be a part of something that would affect two worlds. My own, and hers. Pluto told me of the Silver Millennium, using her Garnet Orb to project the past. She told me of Princess Serenity and the Sailor Soldiers. She gave me the power to sense negative forces and told me that very soon, they would be in my world looking for the Lady of the Cosmos. I wanted to ask her more, ask her what I could possibly do to help. Pluto told me simply to wait for Serena. Of course I forgot about her in time, school taking up most of my time. But you can imagine how surprised I was when a 20 yr old woman named Serena appeared at my dorm with Bulma Briefs. For a while I tried to deny it, but Serena has been at CC college for almost 3 months, and the more I'm around her, the more I'm convinced that she is the one Pluto told me to wait for, the Lady of the Cosmos. I can also feel that she isn't human. From what Pluto told me in her other visits, Serena will dispel the evil forces from my world when they come. Serena along with others. I have been waiting on my feelings now, and I have begun to sense something strange approaching my planet. Something wicked. So now, I must confront Serena. Ask her to tell me EVERYTHING about herself. And find Pluto too. Why is this weight on my shoulders? Why do I have to be the one to locate the soldiers to fight for this planet? Why can't I tell Madison? Why can't I just be normal?
