Raining Tear Drops

Posted-

A/N- I don't know how long this combined drabble will be. But I am guessing at least two or three more connections.

I staggered to catch my breath. After I had stopped the last time, the burning in my lungs from the air had made it so exhilarating that I immediately took off at another sprint. My brain had long gone hazy and I was colder than before. I immediately recognized my street and walked the rest of the way to my home. It was still dark outside but I could see the pinks of morning just under the horizon. My mother would be furious if she found out I had been out past curfew.

Silently I pulled the spare key that was in the bottom of the plant beside the garage door and unlocked the door. Before I entered I replaced the key. The house was devoid of any life activity and Luna was no where to be found. Who would expect her to stay with me anyways after what had happened.

I sighed wearily as I made my way to the upstairs bathroom. I opted for a bath. The one that Mamoru had given me has left me with the feel of his caring hands on me and a little more feeling than was welcome.

I slid just beneath the water and closed my eyes.

Sailor Moon turned with new determination on her face. "Moon Tiara Magic!" She threw her headband and it sliced cleanly through the air.

"No Sailor Moon!" The Youma screamed upon the force of its magic caressing its skin.

Sailor Moon cheered in triumph. She had defeated the enemy, with the help of the senshi of course.

Her cheer was cut short when a sharp blast crushed through the air. Sailor Moon was thrown to the ground. Several screams were heard. She slowly and painfully lifted herself up from the ground. The building that was just standing around her moments ago was now lying in crumbles all around her and the other senshi.

Hundreds of the people who had been working in the office of which it had struck were lying injured, unconscious, or dead around her.

Sailor Moon had unshed tears in her eyes. "What have I done?"

She watched as the senshi got back to their feet. The first one to approach her was Ami or Mercury. The calm rational one. "How could you Sailor Moon? Didn't you listen I told you no!"

Then Rei or Mars came to stand beside her. "Way to go ditz, it's all your fault."
She watched as Minako or Venus inspected the damage. "How could you have been so stupid?"

"I didn't mean…."

"We don't want your excuses." Makoto or Jupiter added on.

Sailor Moon was hurt beyond mere words could describe. If the senshi hated her this much, what must Luna think?

I jumped out of the water. I sucked in breath like a winded runner after a five mile run. How long had I been submerged?

I got out of the tub and dried off before placing the clothes I had stolen from Mamoru along with a bra and some underwear.

I walked into my room and I was met with the sight of Luna waiting expectantly on my bed.

"Ah good your back. I believe you have something that belongs to me." Tears formed in her eyes as she prepared to hand in her henshin brooch. "I am sorry Usagi but the other senshi and I believe it is best if you are no longer apart of the scouts. Please return what does not belong to you."

Usagi looked to the spectacular brooch in her hand and back to her former best friend. Tears were in her eyes. She knew what she had to do. She had prepared to throw the piece of jewelry back to Luna but the tears streaming from her eyes landed upon the brooch. A bright light erected from inside the charm. I found myself being suspended into the air and the ribbons that flow around me when I henshin began to move. The end result was not that of which I expected. Instead of being clad in my warrior suit, I found myself in a beautiful white gown. A half moon glowing eerily upon my forehead.

I heard a startled gasp. I looked to Luna. "What happened?"

"My princess?"

I looked at her a little more than confused. "What? Princess?"

I looked at my former best friend and back to the reflection in the mirror.

Princess.
