I don't own these people......
Alright I will try not to screw up the formatting this time when I upload, sorry about that. Everything has gone wrong this month. So it is just what it is. The world is crap, but I refuse to be unhappy so I am once again the name I got long ago. The Happy Pessimist.
Chapter 2: The End and the Beginning..
In the years we all know we have lived the many lifetimes that span the generations the human race has been around. We have all felt alone and hated. So much that we want to curl up into our own little shell, into that perfect place we created in our heads and never come out. But with the human spirit the way it is. We are fighters to the end and it will never cease to be that way.
It was supposed to be a dark dreary day, with plenty of rain and no sun. So that she could hide her eyes and her fears. Unfortunately for Ami, on this dreaded day, it was nothing but sunshine, with the cherry blossoms falling around her, dancing on the wind as if to mock the pain she felt burning a hole into her heart. She has lost the only one that was there for her.
The one who loved her no matter what she looked like, no matter what she did.
There is nothing greater than a mothers love for her daughter. Knowing that this child is yours and you are hers.
Ami
remembered many things her mother had said to her over her life. But,
one thing always remained in her mind. "It does not matter, what
you do, or what you want to have done, there are just some things we
cannot change. Fate has a plan for us all, and we must walk that
path, with a smile." Mrs. Mizuno had said to her on many occasions,
mainly when Ami felt that she was alone, and that no one understood
her.
She looked out the window of her living room waiting for
the car that was to take her to the funeral of her mother, the one
person she thought would always be there for her. How wrong she was.
She would never know the feeling of love again.
It had floated off into the winds like the blossoms of the cherry trees that were rolling down her street. With lost promises on her mind she saw the black limousine her grandparents had sent, and set a stone face on.
No
one would see the ice queen loose her cool. She was and will always
be her element. Stoic, in charge and cold. There was no more warmth
in her life. It was all gone. Today was the end. No idea where she
would end up. She was doomed to a life with no love.
Ami
grabbed her small black purse, walking to the door, looking behind
her at the now empty house. This was it after the funeral she would
leave and never be back. Her long black dress blew in the breeze, its
outer layer of chiffon looking as if it were attached to a fallen
angel.
Her small body disappeared into the back of the
limousine, where her Grandparents waited for her. "Hello Ami. I
take it you are all packed and ready to leave right after the funeral
correct." Her grandmother stated very primly.
"Yes mam." was the response, the elderly woman didn't seem to care about how cold the girl was acting and just kept on talking telling her where she would be going.
"As you know, we never liked the fact the you were half and half. We are incapable of keeping a half-breed in our midst's. Our status will not be damaged that way. So." She looked at the young girl with disdain.
Ami had no idea how this hateful woman could be her mothers mother. She had always hated Ami, never cared about her own daughter, just this stupid status.
"You will be going to California, to stay with your Father." the woman looked to the young girl at her last words ended.
Ami's sullen eye's looked into ice blue. "You found him then." She said.
Trying to hide the fact that she was happy not to be staying with this old hag.
"Yes
your plane will leave at 9:00 p.m.. You will be landing in the Los
Angeles Airport. There will be someone waiting for you there." When
she finished this sentence, they pulled up to a beautiful shrine.
Her mother would have loved this place. The many stairs it
took to the top, so that you knew you were worthy of seeing the
beauty of the shrine once your foot landed at the top of the pristine
staircase. Cherry blossoms were all about, laying a pink carpet on
everything. At the top of the stairs stood four young women and an
older boy, along with a uniformed police officer she recognized.
Ami opened her door as she took a deep breath, this was going
to be a very hard day. Her small features were made even smaller by
the mammoth size of the stairs. As she ascended to the top, the young
man, his black hair falling into his deep blue eyes, walked down to
meet her halfway.
"Ames, I'm so sorry, I wish I could do more for you, but I know there is nothing that can be done. Just know we love you and will always be her to help you threw all this." Mamoru said.
"Thank you, but unfortunately I won't be here for your help." Ami said as the tears started to well up again.
She
took a deep shuttering breath to calm her nerves. She wasn't going
to cry, she couldn't, her mother wouldn't want that. Mamoru just
looked at her stunned, not knowing what to say. Hoping she didn't
mean what he though. She couldn't leave. They needed her there. Not
just for her powers, but her friendship. They needed her as much as
she needed them. Though at this point she did not want to need
anyone.
"Ames, wait." Mamoru said as he caught back up
with her after his stunned silence.
"What do you mean, you won't be here." He looked into her beautiful eyes. He had never really noticed it before. But she was beautiful. Her blue hair the same color as her eyes. Her pale skin, and though she never showed it. She was built like a goddess. But he thought the most alluring thing about this young women was the simple fact she did not realize it.
All
the girls were beautiful, and he only loved Usagi. But he was not
blind. She was simply different from the rest of them. What ever man
got this little water sprite was going to be very lucky.
"I
am being shipped to California at 9 tonight, to live with my father."
At this statement they had made it to the top of the stairs and she
was encased in a wrapping made of the four girls that had waited for
her there. The mass of hair and arms that entangled her were almost
suffocating, though she new they were her friends. She was not so
sure who really loved her anymore. Nor, did she know the effect her
leaving would leave on them or her.
As the entanglement of
young girls unraveled there long arms from her. There was complete
silence, as if even the birds couldn't sing, for, they even had
respect of the mourning young women in there midst.
Officer Ling walked slowly to the girl. He felt like he wanted to take her and hide her away. Just his gut instinct telling him she was not safe. The moment he saw her all he wanted to do was protect her. From anything and everything painful that could possibly come her way. As he reached her spot she threw her arms around him and whispered.
"My mom would be happy you can still live your life sir." At this she let go and they shared a little smile. The smile that only people that had lost many things could share. It was neither happy nor sad. Just knowing.
As the five ushered the young women to her seat and sat next to her. They knew that there Ami was no longer there.
She
was someone different now, it was subtle but they knew, she was not
the innocent young girl they had all loved and knew for so long. In
almost a blinking of the multi colored eyes, she had become a women.
The funeral progressed as the loving words were said about
her mother, all the memories she had shared throughout her life, with
the many people she had come to be so close to.
Ami's thoughts went back to the days when her mother was still just beginning her career. The long hours they spent together, when she didn't have to work. The walks, the talks, about what Ami would do when she was older.
Everything came rushing back to her normally calm mind, and the tears fell. Letting loose the flood gates that were her very soul, she cried for what she could remember and for things that would never be.
The trips they would no longer take. The walks they would no longer share. The love that was lost. Everything came pouring out, of those blue orbs in that moment. She was alone, or at least would be by tonight.
Nothing
and no one could save her from the loneliness that she felt and would
feel for the rest of her life. It was over. Her friends like her
mother, would soon be gone, they would forget her. And she would grow
old alone never to know what love was like again.
Violet eyes
moved to there blue haired friends. Rei knew what was going to
happen, Ami would leave, never to come back. She had a new life to
create in another world. But she couldn't help to think that one
day, Ami would be who she needed to be to be able to return, though
that day was way in the future. She would always look out for the
timid one. The stoic one. As Rei's thoughts left her, the tears
then fell as well.
Emerald eyes set there gaze on Ami,
watching the tears fall from her eyes. Makato knew the pain she was
feeling. She could also feel the change in Ami, she knew she was
different know. The death of one parent, could change one for better
or worse, she hoped Ami would not go back in to the shell, they had
all worked so hard to get her out of. She was a beautiful person in
side and out, and needed to stay that way. The love she felt for her
friend, no more like sister, was sent threw the air as in the far
distance lightning cracked the ground.
The shining blue eyes
of Minako were set in the same place, on her friend, and sister. She
had helped to break her out of that shell, with her laughing and her
jokes, even her matchmaking, had had an effect on the young women.
She remembered taking Ames shopping making her buy clothes that she
would normally never even have looked at. All her memories came back
as each tear fell from her eyes to join the one's of her
friends.
Another set of blue eyes set there sites on Ami.
Usagi, knew a whole different side of Ami, that not even the other
girls had gotten to know. She really did like to have fun. She always
wanted to laugh at the stupid jokes and did on the inside, while on
the outside she would sit there and look uninterested. Trying to keep
up the façade of the Stoic one in the group. She was not an
"Ice queen" Usagi thought, she never was, she was just
misunderstood. No one else could really get past how smart she was,
they always thought her just a brain with legs nothing more, nothing
less. Usagi's heart was breaking, her first companion against the
dark forces of the world, was now slowly retreating back into her
shell. She remembered the fights they had on there own. The fun they
had had. And with all these memories, her tears also fell for the
young women who would never be the same.
Mamoru's deep ocean
eye's looked upon the entire group as a whole. He knew deep down
she was going to be safe and alright. But he could not get the
feeling out of his gut that it was going to be a long hard road. At
the moment his thoughts were on her. In the distance a silent wish
was heard. And by four guardians it was heeded.
The
ceremony was at a close as all the guests were walking down the many
stairs. Going back to there normal lives.
"Hey Ames."
Usagi called out.
Ami slowly turned around her movements feeling all the more robotic every passing moment.
"Yes, Usa." Ami replied.
"Do you want to stay with me for a while, until you find out about where you are going to be staying."
All the girls plus Mamoru, gathered around.
Mamoru all the while knew what was to be next.
"Actually...." Ami started. How was she going to do this, tell her friends she was moving to the other side of the world.
"I have a place to stay, I will be going there in about two hours." She said trying to get around telling them at all.
"Where is it, how close are you going to be, we'll still be able to see you won't we." The questions came in a torrent from Minako, as the others just watched, and waited for the reply.
"I'm leaving for California, tonight, to live with my dad." Ami said.
The girls faces fell, looks of shock all around her. She felt awful but until she was 18 there was nothing she could do about it. She had to at least wait three more years before she could tell every one to go to hell, and return home. Mamoru stepped up at that moment, encasing Ami in a hug,.
"We will write to you all the time, don't worry. We'll always be with you no matter what." Ami looked to Usagi waiting for the scream of jealousy , and all she saw were the new tears brimming in her eyes.
"I
love you guys, I will miss you very much. I promise as soon as I get
there I will write to you all. I don't even know the address yet."
she said with a shy laugh, that could not even fool the most dense of
people.
"Ami, Time to go, were leaving." Came a cold
voice. All eyes focused on the women who brought Ami to this sad
place. She was ever so old, and looked even older. Strong sharp lines
ran across her brow, as if she had been born angry. Cold icy black
eyes stared at them with no feeling of remorse for the daughter she
had just lost.
Ami turned to her grandmother and nodded, with
one last hug to all her friends she descended the many stairs. On her
way to a new life.
All the
passengers of flight 866 where now on board with their seat belts
firmly in place. No one could see the blue haired girl, except one
man. His black greasy hair falling over cold dead eyes. Those dead
eyes lit up with a joyous light at seeing the familiar hair color and
face. This had to be fate, he had to have her, to kill her. Killing
her mother was so much fun. He had to have the daughter as well. He
can just watch and wait. He had to make a plan. Torture her a little,
make her squirm.
Ami sat alone in her own little dark world.
Thoughts running wildly threw her head. She couldn't tell what was
going on. She had lost all coherent thought. The day she had had
taking its toll on her. The end of her like as she knew it.
Or
maybe it was the beginning
