Chapter 9 Training and Discoveries
Sailor Charon, Guide of the River Styx, sat on the side of a stone fountain. She looked into the water and saw the boy's dreams. Sailor Charon sighed. She was sitting up on Mount Olympus, where the gods live, doing what Sailor Earth had asked.
She sighed again. Sailor Earth was her best friend. She had been since she'd been reborn, and before.
Back during the Silver Millennium Sailor Earth had been Supreme Duchess of the Silver Millennium. Everyone just called her "Duchess" because her formal title was way too long.
She thought back to what Sailor Earth wanted her to do. She, Sailor Charon, was to let the boys see parts of their past lives. She was, in fact, the scout of the dead and dreams. She stood up when she felt someone behind her.
"Hello Charon. Have you done what I asked?"
"Yes I have."
Sailor Earth pulled her friend into a hug. Charon hugged her back. "You're coming down to Earth, aren't you." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes, I need to. All of the Lost Scouts are needed." Charon, who was dressed in a black cloak and was holding a scythe, looked back into the fountain. This enemy was so strong that the scouts would need the best. The Lost Scout were the best.
"Were is right. It has been many, many, years since we fought. You are a guide of the River Styx, I am a Keeper of Time who has not been doing her job, and Sun is a protector of the Solar System. We have been dormant for a long while and might not be the best any longer."
"Then we will train. And I'm supposed to be the pessimist and you're supposed to be the optimist so stop talking like I should!" Both girls laughed at the inside joke.
"Well, since you are coming down to Earth you need to blend in," said Sailor Earth with an evil smirk.
"No."said the frightened Sailor Charon as her eyes widened in horror.
"Yes."

The next morning the school was all abuzz. There was going to be another Three Lights concert.
"I do not see why these NORMAL beings are so worked up over a stupid concert. The Muses were, and are, much better than mortals."
"Oh Charon, lighten up. You and Earth never were into these things but they really are great!"
"Only you, Sun, are into these things. That is why you are so NORMAL. And when did you get here?"
"I came a while back. I was able to see that we were all going to be needed. Besides, the opportunity to see you in something that isn't gothic was too good to pass up!"
The girl with black who Katie was talking to mumbled. She had black hair with red tips at the end. Her blue eyes flashed when she looked down at the white and navy blue uniform. The blue wasn't as bad at the white but still, she hated the cursed uniform.
A tall girl with black hair walked up to the two.
"So, what's up you two?"
"Oh Bonnie! Tell Charon she looks fine in white!" cried Katie.
"I would, but, here, she is Sumifu Sara," replied the taller girl.
"I despise this color."
"Enough, let's go to class before the bell rings." The three girls walked off toward the school.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After school the Inners and Outers met at Rei's temple.
"I figured out who Sailor Earth is. After taking her DNA yesterday I put into my computer and."said Ami.
"Just spit it out!" yelled Makoto.
"Fine. Sailor Earth is Sumifu Bonnie."
Everyone looked at Setsuna, expecting her to explain everything. She looked at them and she looked at them.
"I'm not saying anymore."
"Why?" asked Michiru.
"Because I'm not allowed. Only she can tell you who she is," Setsuna said cryptically.
"Never mind," said Hotaru.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the school, one the roof stood three figures.
"Well, they know who I am," said the tallest, her chestnut brown hair moving in the soft breeze. She was wearing her school uniform. Her companions stood behind her.
"They do not, at least not who you really are," said the one with all black on. She had changed as soon as school let out.
"I am not her, I can not be her."
"Why are you afraid of that path? It is your path, yet you turn it down, which is the most confusing of all," said the third.
"I was raised to be something other than that and I am not afraid."
"Yes Duchess," said the other two at the same time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Darkness surrounded her. There was no floor, no ceiling, no walls, nothing. Usagi just kept walking moving in one direction but never getting anywhere. Suddenly a light shown up ahead and Usagi ran for it but it seemed like trying to go up an escalator that was going down. Finally she made it to the light and walked in. It was a beautiful room where the walls were so white they shone like pearl. The floor was marble and there was a large window that went from the floor to the ceiling, which was about ten feet tall. There was one dark spot in this bright brilliance. A figure stood by the window.
"Welcome, my Princess. You have a gift which is just being realized. During the Silver Millennium your mother taught you how to use this gift. Since she is no longer here and you have been reborn I will fulfill this task," said the figure. Slowly it turned around. It was Sailor Earth, also now known to be Bonnie Sumifu. She sat down and a huge, white wing chair appeared before her, obviously where Usagi was to sit.
Usagi moved to sit in the chair. Once she sat down she looked into her companion's eyes. They reminded her of cat's eyes at first. They were a bright green that seemed to illuminate the shadow that hid her face under the black hood. They penetrated through Usagi's entire being, almost seeing right through her.
"You're eyes glow," said Usagi, amazed at this fact.
"They have for years now. Once you learn how to control your gift your eyes might glow too."
"What is this, gift, as you like to call it?"
"Those in the Royal Moon Family have always been able to read minds, that is what distinguished them from all others. You were learning how to read minds when Beryl attacked. I come to you in a dream because in this place, time will seem normal but dreams last for so short of time that you will be done with your training by morning."
"Then, how can you read minds?"
"We shall begin. I will open my mind and you try to read my mind. All you do is reach out; if it helps, close your eyes and imagine reaching out with your hand. I await your attempt. Let's see how well you start off."
Usagi closed her eyes and tried to imagine her hand reaching out to touch something and that's when she felt something. It was dark at first but slowly Usagi went deeper and found pain and sorrow. Then she came to a doorway. As she pushed it open images flashed trough her like a movie. There were voices, many voices. She knew some of them, some she did not. She listened to what they were saying.
Bonnie sat and looked at Usagi. She knew Usagi was in her mind. She thought that some of her training must be left over from her reincarnation. Usagi was doing very well, for a beginner. Had Bonnie kept her mind closed and told Usagi to enter, she would not be anywhere near this far. There was distress. Usagi was growing tired, quickly and couldn't seem to get out.
"Shoot, I forgot to tell her how to leave," she said and her eyes unfocused as she entered her own mind to help Usagi out.
Usagi was looking at all the images and saw one of Sailor Earth in a beautiful crimson dress. She must've been looking in a mirror, talking with someone behind her. There was a tall man with green hair and red eyes. He looked like Pluto! There was another man standing next to him. He had a dark brown hair color that had a lighter tint to it. He had pea green eyes and looked very similar to Taiki and Yaten. She tried to listen to what they were saying, since Bonnie wore an angry expression.
"I will not marry anyone, especially Captain Seiya, my Lord. I am but 18 years of age! I know, this may seem old to you, seeing how many women my age are married with children but I can not commit myself to that! I am a Sailor Scout, a Keeper of Time, and I am the Supreme Duchess. I can not marry, even if he IS the Captain of the Plutonian Guard, no offence General Kimu, but this is not what I wish to do."
"Although this is not what you want, Duchess, you live on Pluto and under its laws, its King. I am that King. Many women of the court are married and many do have children. The people of the court love you; the people of Pluto love you like they do the royal family. Everyone wants to see save and happy," he was becoming red in the face.
"But, the captain? He and I mix like oil and water! I can't stand him! Why not some snotty noble of the court?"
"Because, it is tradition that you marry the captain. Do not make me order you to marry him. It is the law here on Pluto and you shall obey the Law," said the King.
"Lord Hades-I will try to get along with the captain and I will obey our wishes. Know this, I do not do this for you but for Setsuna who has been trying for the past few years to 'get us together' as she says. Good day my Lord, General," she said with an icy glare and left the room, seething at what had happened.
Usagi gasped. Seiya and Bonnie had been married during the Silver Millennium? And it seemed Bonnie didn't like the idea. But if that was the case and Bonnie remembered all of this then that would mean.that would mean she had not been reborn and had been living since then! This was so confusing and Usagi started to feel a little tired. She needed to get out but she didn't know how! She turned back to the door to find it gone; there was nothing but memories and pain in here! The air became thick and Usagi was having trouble breathing.
"Do not worry, Princess. I will lead you out," said a voice. Usagi turned to see Bonnie wearing her black cloak. She held out a hand and Usagi took it. There was a blinding light and it hurt Usagi eyes for a moment to realize that she was back in the room. She was sitting in the white wing chair with Bonnie sitting across from her, her green eyes slightly unfocused.
"I had no idea you and Seiya were." began Usagi.
"Three days we were married. We courted for three months and I admit I felt attracted to him but it was nothing more than that. I was on the Moon when the attack came. He was on Pluto. By the time he reached the Moon, almost everyone was dead. He found me and I sent my energy to your mother, locking myself in my staff. He was attacked from behind and was killed. It was nothing more than that. I had the feeling he liked someone better," she said, looking straight at Usagi.
"Who?" asked Usagi, completely oblivious to the meaning of the stare.
"We shall continue. Now, I'm going to lock my mind, you see if you can enter. I destroy the locks, think of your pure white energy and a heat source and melt the locks. To leave you imagine the door being there and walk out, understand?"
Usagi nodded then closed her eyes, imagining the arm reaching out. She was once again in the dark place but she saw the door. On the door was a huge lock. She imagined her energy as a heat source and touched the lock, melting it completely. She walked inside and looked at more memories. Then she turned, imagined that the door was back and left. She did this multiple times, the number of locks growing each time. Finally, she looked at Bonnie, who looked expressionless.
"I don't think I can go on any longer. I feel tired and we've been doing this for hours. I just want to sleep and dream," said the exhausted Usagi. Bonnie stood up and walked over to the window.
"You did extremely well, Usagi. And where do you think we are?" she asked, still looking out the window.
"Well, I don't know. One moment I was asleep and then I was here," she paused remembering what had happened and then she blinked in surprise. "You said this was a dream when I got here. So that means that we're in.?"
"Yes, we are in your mind, in your dream. This is not my real self, I am just an image. Now, before you awaken know this: You have the power to read minds. Whatever you do, don't read the mind of the enemy. You will either find darkness or nothing. The darkness will kill you since you have not had the time to train," she said and turned to look Usagi in the eye. Then the world started to fade and swirl into nothingness. Just before the world went dark she heard one thing more.
"Remember, Usagi. Be careful with this gift you've been given."
Usagi's eyes snapped open and she sat up in bed, looking around to find herself in her own bunny covered room. Her alarm clock had yet to go off but she did not try to go back to sleep. Instead she got dressed in her school uniform. When she looked in the mirror to do her hair her hand stopped in mid-air. Her eyes glowed a slight blue color.
A/N: Well people, Happy New Years. I am 2-3 chapters away from finishing this story. *hears people in he background say "It's too bad to continue so why do you?"* I am a new person. Please, flame me all you wish. I with either a) ignore you or b) try to make the story more to your liking. For all the readers who like the story, *looks out to see very few people smiling* please continue with comment, questions, and/or concerns.
After I finish this story (Due to the fact I was told it was in my best interests to continue) I'm changing my name (again) and going to work on non-added character stories, though I do plan on doing a sequel. (Hears booing.) I can't help myself.*swatdrop*
