A New Star in the Sky
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Full Moon wo Sagashite. I wish I could draw as good as both of them though -sniffles- They are so talented.
Note: I just finished watching Full Moon wo Sagashite. I cried my eyes out through the majority of the series, it's just so incredibly sad -sniffles again- Anyway, at first I didn't really think I could write anything about this series because the ending fit so well, but well, I'm going to give it a try -grins- Please email me at to tell me how it is I have several ideas floating around in my head and this is just one of them. It takes place during Sailor Stars in SM and four years after Mitsuki's surgery in FMwS at Full Moon's big comeback debut.
Warning! Spoilers ahead, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled!

Chapter 4 - Visions…
"Drum beat!" Sailor Drummer yelled as a huge drum hit Sailor Moon directly in the stomach, which effectively knocked the wind out of her.
"Guitar Cage!" Sailor Guitar yelled as mini guitars flew from his hands and pinned Sailor Moon's arms and legs to the wall that stood behind her.
"Not good!" Sailor Moon said as the cord of a microphone wrapped around her neck from the third Phage and was pulled tight. She felt the air to her lungs being cut off by the sheer tightness of the cord and instinctively went to reach her hands up to her throat only to find that when she pulled against the mini-guitars, it send charges of electricity through her body. She closed her eyes and waited for the spots dancing in front of her eyes to disappear and for the pain to end.
"Heh, it seems I overestimated you, Aa-chan." A mocking voice said close to her ear. Sailor Moon's eyes flew open at the sound and found that her constricted airways were now clear. The three Phage were lying against the opposite wall with burns covering their arms and faces.
"Nani?" Sailor Moon questioned as she turned toward the voice to see the amused face of the blond man from earlier. "You…" She started but didn't finish. She gaped at his strange appearance. He was wearing a completely different outfit that was mostly black and yellow with a black hat that drooped over on either side of his head like a dog's ears, and there were white wings levitating him a few inches off of the floor.
"Have fun, Aa-chan." He said with a wink and he disappeared through the ceiling.
"Eh? Nani!" She cried in shock as his ability to fly and his disappearing act registered in her brain. She didn't have long to ponder this because the Phage were climbing to their feet in an angry rage.
"Shine!" One of the three Phage cried as the microphone shot out from his hand once again and attempted to wrap around Sailor Moon's legs. She managed to dodge at the last second as she summoned her Eternal Tier for her attack.
"Honeymoon Therapy KISS!" Sailor Moon cried out after an impressive light display and much spinning around. Bands of pink energy erupted from the end of her tier and wrapped around the three weakened Phage, transferring light back into the three Star Seeds. When the power from the weapon ceased, the three Guitar Boys stood with a flower located above their heads. In the middle of the flower, was a glittering crystal Star Seed that was swallowed by the flower and disappeared. The three Guitar Boys slumped to the floor in a heap.
"What's going on down here?" An irritated voice shouted down the hall as a man rounded the corner. "We're trying to record here! You need to keep the noise down! We can't have loud crashes in the background of the album!" Sailor Moon turned to see an irritated Takuto followed by Keichi Wakaouji.
"Ah gomen." Sailor Moon said as she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "The Guitar Boys were attacked so I had to save them." She said as she bowed slightly with a sweatdrop on the back of her head. "Ja ne!" She called as she turned the opposite way and out of sight of the two gaping men.
"Was that… Sailor Moon?" Wakaouji questioned as the blond pig-tailed girl disappeared around the next corner. Takuto's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked down at the three passed out rock stars on the ground.
"Seems like it…." Takuto said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
lloololooll
Usagi sighed in relief when she was out of sight of the two men who had come out to yell at her. She felt embarrassed that she had messed up the recording, but there really hadn't been much she could do about that at the time. If she hadn't been there, the Guitar Boys would have ended up hurting someone and she couldn't stand for that. They would just have to forgive her. She was extremely grateful that Kira Takuto didn't know that she was really the little blond girl that Mitsuki had befriended recently. He didn't seem to like her very much… He seemed to glare at her every time he saw her and she wasn't quite sure why. He told her to give up, that it was too painful, but she wouldn't give up. She refused to give up; she finally had a dream. One that didn't involve her future being planned out for her. One that didn't involve having the rest of her life already lived, a future that was going to be forced upon her one day. That was why she had broken up with Mamoru before he'd left for America. He had been upset and had cried a great deal… but as the years went on, Usagi had realized, she wanted to get to her future on her own terms. She didn't want to have someone tell her how to live her life any more.
Usagi's friends hadn't been too happy about the break-up, but had decided to support Usagi no matter what she decided. They realized that it was her life and she was going to live it the way she saw fit. They were truly wonderful friends; all they cared about was that Usagi was happy. And all she really cared about, was making sure her friends were happy. That's why she would do anything in her power to see that their dreams came true as well. Crystal Tokyo was in the distant future, so in the near future; she wanted to make sure they lived a good life before everyone was forced into so much responsibility.
Usagi rounded a corner and found a small supply closet that was open. She looked around and on seeing no one, she squeezed inside, which was a bit of a feat with the large white wings attached to the back of her costume, and closed the door behind her. She closed her eyes briefly and felt the familiar pink ribbons surround her with warmth as she de-transformed back to Usagi. She opened the closet door back up and peeked outside, when she saw no one, she stepped back out and headed back toward the recording studio. As she rounded the last corner, she saw a large group of people and hastened her pace to see what was going on.
"Oh! Usagi-chan!" Full Moon said as Usagi approached the group. "The Guitar Boys were attacked by someone. I guess Sailor Moon was here to save them! We're done recording for the day, they don't want to chance anyone else being attacked."
"Eh? Are they all right?" Usagi asked as she forced a shocked look on her face. "Did they catch the person that attacked them?"
"Iie," Full Moon said as she frowned slightly. "They honestly don't even know what their attacker looked like. They said that they can't really remember what happened. They just remembered that someone had been talking to them or asking for an autograph or something. The next thing they knew, they were waking up on the floor. I think they're going to make the Guitar Boys get some bodyguards because of that. They're considering getting some for the Three Lights and I as well."
"That's so strange…" Usagi said slowly as she feigned a look of concern. She, of course, knew that they were perfectly fine so there was really nothing to worry about. She knew that the Guitar Boys were safe now, they didn't have the Star Seeds that the enemy wanted. She also knew that the Three Lights and Full Moon could possibly be in trouble because they hadn't been targeted. No matter the bodyguard, he or she wouldn't stand a chance against Sailor Iron Mouse.
"Daijoubu, odango?" A voice said from behind Usagi. She jumped in alarm and turned to see Seiya standing very close to her.
"H… hai!" She said as a red color slowly spread across her cheeks. She hadn't even seen him come up behind her. "I'm just fine. I was in the rest room when it happened." She lied as a sweatdrop slid slowly down her forehead. She really didn't like having to lie to him, but there was no way she would be able to tell the truth.
"Are you ready to go? We're done for the day. They're worried that someone else may be attacked so they are going to wait until they have increased security until they decide to attempt another recording session." Seiya explained as he smiled at Usagi.
"Aa, I'm ready." Usagi said as she blushed again. "I just need to go get my bag, I think I left it in the recording studio. Let me go get it, ne?"
"Hai, hurry up, though. I have a surprise for you." Seiya said as he smiled at the blushing blond.
"Hai!" Usagi said back as she hurried back into the recording studio to grab her forgotten school bag. She finds it lying on its side on the chair she had been sitting on earlier and grabs it before turning and heading for the door to meet back up with Seiya. 'I don't remember this bag being so heavy…' Usagi mused to herself as she turned the light of the room back off and closed the door with a click behind her.
lloololooll
"Sugoi!" Usagi gushed as she looked out of the window on the Ferris Wheel. "It's so pretty! I've never seen the city lights like this before!" Seiya laughed at the blond sitting beside him. "Mou! Don't laugh at me!" Usagi said as she pouted at Seiya.
"Gomen, gomen, Odango." Seiya said as he stifled another laugh. "I was just amused because you've lived in Tokyo all of your life but you act like a tourist some times."
"Hidoi, Seiya-kun." Usagi pouted as she looked at Seiya. "I've just never gotten to see the lights of the amusement park and the city from the top of the Ferris Wheel before."
"Oh look, it's starting." Seiya said as he pointed up at the sky. Usagi followed where he pointed and nearly cried out in excitement.
"Sugoi! A shooting star!" Usagi cried as she stood up and the car they were in wobbled forcefully. She leaned forward slightly with her hands on the glass and looked out the top of the glass window that covered the outside of the car. Seiya looked startled and grabbed Usagi around the waist to regain his balance. This put her balance off and she fell backward right onto his lap with his arms still around her. Usagi's face turned bright red as she looked up at Seiya's blushing face. "Gomen…" She said quietly as the blush reached her ears.
"Daijoubu, odango…" Seiya said quietly as he smiled at the blond girl in his arms. "Kawaii…" He mused quietly as he brushed his fingers through her long hair. Before Usagi realized what was happening, she felt a pair of soft lips pressed against hers. Seiya's hand trailed down Usagi's cheek and slipped around her waist as he drew her closer. Without realizing it, Usagi found herself returning the soft kiss as her arms wrapped around Seiya's neck as if of their own accord.
Unknown to the couple under the stars on the Ferris Wheel, a set of golden eyes watched them from nearby. The 'spy' couldn't do much more than watch, but already a plan was forming in his head. He would hopefully be able to find out the mystery of Tsukino Usagi…
lloololooll
Usagi flopped down on her bed; her cheeks still flushed from her romantic date with Seiya. They had gone out to dinner, then to the amusement park to watch the meteor shower that Usagi hadn't even known about until Seiya had pointed up at the sky. Then he had taken her for a walk along the bank of a river and they had just talked for a while. She blushed when she remembered how soft his lips were and brushed her fingers across her own lips, hoping self-consciously that they weren't rough.
"How was your date?" Luna asked as she jumped up on the pillow beside Usagi's head. Usagi jumped at the sound of Luna's voice and blushed even deeper red.
"Oh, it was just fine. Seiya-kun took me out to dinner and then we watched the meteors," Usagi explained as her eyes took on a dreamy look at the memory of the Ferris Wheel. "He's so handsome…" Usagi said quietly as a bit of drool dripped out of her mouth. Then she blushed when she realized that Luna was still sitting right next to her. "Ah! Gomen, Luna!" Usagi said as she sat up and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"You had better get to sleep, Usagi-chan. You still have school tomorrow." Luna said as she walked over to her normal spot on Usagi's pillow.
"Hai, Luna." Usagi said as she smiled at her Guardian. "Seiya-kun is picking me up again tomorrow for school. Tomorrow is my audition for the Seed Records Deput Artist Contest." Usagi explained as she grabbed her school bag up from the floor and reached inside to find her acceptance letter. When she opened the bag, she saw why it had seemed a bit heavier than usual. Inside of her bag was a plush dog with droopy ears and a slightly droopy look on his face. "Eh? Where did this come from?" Usagi wondered as she examined the stuffed dog. It was wearing a black hat that sort of matched the blond guy from earlier; it also had a yellow vest with a tie and little white wings on its back. "Eh? Is this a joke?" She asked herself as she turned the stuffed toy upside down to examine it better. "It looks like that person…"She said slowly as she turned it around to examine the back. "Oh well, its kawaii!" Usagi squealed as she hugged the stuffed toy tightly. "Oyasumi Inu-chan!" Usagi said as she kissed the stuffed toy on the top of the head and set it on her night stand, it was probably just a coincidence that Seiya's gift looked like the man from earlier. "Oyasumi, Luna." Usagi said through a yawn as she reached over to turn the light on the nightstand off.
Luna looked up from her spot on the bed at the stuffed dog toy that Usagi had pulled from her school bag. She narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the plushie as if it had stepped on her tail. She felt a really strange vibe from the toy, but she couldn't quite put her paw on what it was… There was almost an aura surrounding the toy as it sat on the nightstand. Luna frowned and lay her head back down on the pillow. It was just a stuffed toy; she was just imagining things. A toy couldn't have an aura… it was just a bit of fabric with some fluffy stuffing inside. With that, Luna drifted off to sleep with no more thoughts on the strange toy.
Izumi waited until the talking cat and her charge were asleep before transforming himself back into his normal form. He truly hated being a stuffed dog, but he had wanted to know more about that girl, the one he defied death on multiple occasions. The girl who had no death day set. It seemed impossible, every human had to die eventually, but she had none. It would be easier to figure it out if he was close to her so he could watch her, but he didn't want her to know that he was there. That was where his hated form came in. It was only a disguise since she already knew his Shinigami form. He looked down at his hand and frowned slightly. Changing back and forth had taken a great deal of his power. He would have to save some power to change back before she woke up, but he would have enough to take a peek into the girl's dreams… and maybe alter them slightly… He smirked to himself at the thought of messing with the blond girl's mind.
lloololooll
"Where are we going, Seiya-kun?" Usagi asked as she reached up to remove her blindfold. Hands covered hers and prevented her from removing the blindfold. "Mou, Seiya-kun, are we almost there?" She whined as she felt a soft hand grasp hers and pull her along. She could tell they were moving upward on some sort of a slope or a ramp, but she still had no idea where they were. She had been blindfolded on the car ride as well so after the first few turns; she had become disoriented and lost track of where they had gone. Hands grasped her shoulders lightly, which caused her to stop. She was pointed at a certain angle and then the knot on the blindfold was being untied.
"Aha! We're finally here!" Usagi giggled as the blindfold loosened. It was taken away from her face and she opened her eyes and blinked into a blinding white light. "Eh? What is this?" Usagi questioned as she shielded her eyes. She blinked a few times and slowly shapes began to come into focus. The shapes were moving closer, blocking out patches of light, then letting it shine through again. By the time Usagi realized what it was, it was too late… The train thundered straight for her! She screamed in horror as she took in the shapes that she had seen dancing before the light… The shape was a child, a little blond boy with tears streaming down his cheeks. "Get out of the way, chibi!" Usagi shrieked as she ran straight for the boy. She shoved the boy out of the way, but was unable to move herself. In a moment of terror, Usagi closed her eyes and waited for the impact…
It never came… She slowly opened her eyes and saw only darkness… She slowly sat up and rubbed her sore legs. There were long scrapes on both of her knees and no sign of the small child.
"Chibi-kun?" Usagi said tentatively into the darkness. When she received no reply, she slowly climbed to her feet and took a better look around. Off in the distance to her right, she saw a small speck of light. Slowly, her feet began to move as she walked toward the speck. She didn't know what to expect, but it had to be better than the darkness. As she approached the light, she saw two figures. One was a man who was hunched over with white wings on his back… It was the man from earlier. Standing over him was a man with long grayish-white hair. She stopped and watched from a distance. She didn't know what they were saying because they were too far away, but she didn't want to go any closer. For some reason, she did not like the feeling in the air as she looked at the standing figure. There was something cold, mysterious, and sinister about him.
The kneeling figure looked terrified, or perhaps sad… His face was wet with tears and he was hunched forward as if in some great emotional or perhaps physical pain. Usagi reached out her hand as she walked toward the hunched figure. The tall man turned his back on the blond and walked off into the darkness. The single lighted area remained illuminated as Usagi approached.
"Daijoubu?" Usagi questioned as she put a hand on the man's shoulder tentatively. He turned and looked up at Usagi. There was a look of great shock and perhaps anger on his face as he looked up at the blond girl. "What's going on?"
"Leave me alone…" Izumi said coldly as he regained his composure and glared up at the blond girl. "This is something you weren't supposed to see. Kuso…" He muttered as he looked down at his hand. "I thought I had enough power left to block out these visions…" His face looked angry as he glared down at his hand.
"Eh?" Usagi said in confusion. She really had no idea what he was saying. Had those been pieces of his memory? Or had they been visions of something that was going to happen? They just didn't really make much sense to Usagi.
"Heh, never mind it, then." Izumi said as his normal smirk returned to his face. He turned away from Usagi with his arms crossed over his chest and floated up into the air. "See you." He said as he disappeared.
"Huh? What was that all about?" Usagi asked herself as her confusion only increased. Usagi frowned to herself and the scenery slowly began to change. The blackness melted away to be replaced by a grassy hill covered in flowers. A figure was coming over the hill and Usagi smiled. The silhouette looked like Seiya so she waved.
"Seiya-kun!" Usagi cried as she waved at the tall guy walking down the hill. She ran toward him with a smile on her face and jumped into his open arms. "What are we going to do, Seiya-kun?" Usagi asked as she looked up into a pair of gray eyes. Her smile faded when she saw that it wasn't Seiya at all, it was Full Moon's boyfriend, Takuto.
His eyes looked sad, perhaps depressed… He didn't have the same glare on his face that he reserved solely for Usagi… There was a softness to his eyes that she had never seen before. He reached up and untied the ribbons in her hair and let it fall freely around her face in a golden waterfall.
"Eh? Takuto-san?" Usagi questioned as he ran his hand through her hair gently. There was a soft smile on his face when he pulled Usagi into his arms and held her against his chest. Usagi blushed brilliantly as she felt his warm arms encircle her in a tight embrace.
"Gomen…" He whispered as he held her against his chest. "I didn't mean it when I said that you would never make it… I want to see you make it."
"Huh?" Usagi said as she pushed against his chest lightly so she could look at his face. "What is going on here?" She demanded as she pushed him away roughly. She could tell she was in a dream, but what a strange dream it was. First she had been dreaming about that blond guy from earlier, and now Full Moon's boyfriend was apologizing and holding her? It just didn't make sense. She just wanted to dream about her romantic date with Seiya from the previous night!
"Usagi-chan, daisuki…" Takuto said softly as he put his hand on her cheek and drew her face toward his. The kiss was soft, like butterfly wings brushing against her lips. She stared in open-eyed shock as she felt his lips pressed so gently against hers. Her shock passed and she shoved him away roughly.
"What do you think you're doing?" Usagi demanded as an angry look came across her face. "You're Full Moon-san's boyfriend! Go kiss her in her dreams!" Usagi shouted angrily as her face turned bright red.
"Eh? You're not Mitsuki-chan?" Takuto said as the strange far-away look in his eyes disappeared. He took a few steps back and then disappeared right before her eyes… then she was left alone once again.
lloololooll
Izumi cursed to himself as he left the blond girl's dreams. He hadn't meant to show her about his past… about his death… no, his suicide… He was grateful for one thing; the blond didn't seem to understand what had been happening during the dream. She might have some strange powers, but she wasn't exactly brilliant so that saved him a bit.
"Damn side-effect…" Izumi frowned to himself as he looked down at the sleeping girl. He was floating above her bed just watching her sleep. He hadn't found anything out from his excursion into her dreams. He would have to try something different… maybe he would be able to break into her memories somehow to figure her out. To figure out why she had no death-date like every other human in the world. Could she perhaps not be human or something? "Heh, unlikely." He mused to himself as the all too familiar smirk returned to his lips.
He watched as the girl rolled over in her sleep. There was no expression on her face as she slept. He couldn't even begin to guess what the girl was dreaming about. And frankly, he didn't care much. He would have to remain in his normal form for most of the night to gather some strength to change back into his dog form. Though he hated it, he wanted to keep a close eye on the girl. Perhaps she would give away some hint to what she truly was if he just watched her for a while.
lloololooll
Takuto's head shot up off the pillow as the dream reverberated through his memory. It had been a long time since he'd had a dream that real… Why was the little blond girl affecting him so much? She had been in his mind for days for some reason. He had thought it was because he wanted to save her from the same fate both he and Mitsuki had gone through. Well… the fate he was still going through… The cancer in his throat had been getting worse over the passed few weeks, but the planned surgery still wasn't quite ready. It would take another two weeks at least to have all the equipment brought to the hospital. Even with this improved method of surgery, there was still a chance that he would lose his voice. He thought he could handle it if he had Mitsuki, but it just depressed him to think that he might not be able to sing with the blond again.
"Kuso…" Takuto mumbled as he rubbed his head in annoyance. "That blond girl, Usagi, Sailor Moon, whatever her name was, looks a lot like Mitsuki." It was an easy mistake to make… why hadn't he realized in the dream that it wasn't Mitsuki? It was a strange day indeed…
lloololooll
"Gomen, Takuto…" A soft voice sighed as a figure floated above his bed. "It's for the best…" The woman smiled sadly down at the confused man on the bed. "Please forgive me, Ta-chan…" She said softly as she floated down and kissed his forehead lightly.
:Fin:
