I still don't own Sailor Moon by the way.... Just an FYI.
~oOo~
The part of her mind in charge of thinking knew she had fully manifested in demonic form. Her normally human fingers had changed, becoming mere protrusions of sharpened bone.
Slash, slash. Feint, grab, toss...
Her hair, drab and plain when she was younger, now red and a glow. Even her skin was taking on a blue tone, the conscious and subconscious spells she required to fight and exist in the Dark Kingdom bringing her youma heritage to the surface more each year.
Duck, push, rend, flip...
The portion of her mind in charge of thought really didn't have a lot of time to think. Which was the purpose of the exercise really. She knew it, her guards knew it. When Naru was fighting, she wasn't thinking.
Kick, slide...

"You know, that sounds completely insane."
"Yeah, I know Auntie. But it's better then doing nothing, right?"
I just nod. "You know what the council is going to say, right?"
~
Thinking about how she failed Earth. Failed her sisters. Failed Usagi.
That last guy's slash did cut her abdomen, and spin her pretty badly, but the kick she gave probably broke his jaw. Her blood loss would be a problem to deal with later on.
She knew her mind had lost complete control over her body. She could feel the beating of her heart, and the bitter copper taste of adrenaline and blood in her mouth. The feeling of cool air rushing over her body as she charged the nearest target like a feral beast. Beyond that, all her mind could do was coast along with the rest of her body. Feeling her body defend itself on pure instinct, driven only by simple facts like 'Hit Here' and 'Don't Hit Here'.
Five on one really wasn't fair, but she wanted to be knocked unconscious. At least to pass out for a few hours. Anything besides waiting.
Yuki had a plan. It would take a few days to set up, but it was a viable plan. More then anything anyone else had come up with.

"That's completely preposterous!"
I didn't think he was going to use that word specifically. Usually the science minister has so much trouble saying it.
The council really doesn't like the idea. It's Yuki's... Well, it's the magical equivalent of a doctoral thesis. She just has to make a completely new ritual or spell. And her 'project' was to come up with a way to break through the barrier around The Gates of Time.
The barrier made specifically to keep magic users and dark wizards away from the gates. Namely anyone from anywhere who might abuse it. We've been talking about it since she was eighteen or so. If anyone knew why the Earth is currently frozen, it would be the Time Guardian. She could never abandon the gates, so if she wasn't trapped on Earth, she'd be there.
"But we can't just throw the Queen in something so risky. It's complete idiocy."
Of course the spell as designed can only send one person at a time. And even then they probably would be completely magic-less when they got through to the gates. Considering I was the only person alive who had met the guardian before, there really was no other good candidate. "Fine, I quit then. Yuki's the Queen now."
"You can't do that!"
I think I just caused a panic. Oh well. They were getting too content and boring as it is. Panic will be good for them
"Yes I can, I'm the queen, I can do what I want. And I wanna make Yuki Queen."
"But.. but..."
"Whoo hoo! I'm the Queen! I say we do it and do it now!" Just like an Osaka. Why worry about if it's right or wrong, and just roll along with the chaos. I can't applaud my niece right now, but I'm still so proud of her.
"But we can't..."
"If Queen Yuki says I have to go mediate with the Guardian of Time in regards to the Earth situation, I'm obligated to do so, right?" I can't even stop myself from smiling. Word play is so much fun.
As is the look on Representative Immatoto when he finally gives in.
"Okay... what will you need..." ~
