Chapter 12: I Miss You
Another month and a half past - whirling with fighting youmas, getting prepared for school, senshi meetings to discuss their new enemy, celebrating Minako's birthday, followed by Ami's birthday - in all, like a breeze across her face. It was the first day of school, well, now she was out of school. She had changed, skipped the senshi meeting and was heading for Juuban Park.
Usagi was depressed - as much as she hated to admit it, she was. After changing out her school uniform, she was wearing a lavender spaghetti strap dress, that after her bosom, had a violet strip of material wrapped around her waist in a kimono fashion, before rest of the dress peeked out and ended at a little before her knees. Covering her shoulders and arms was a navy blue jean jacket that ended at her waist and was unbuttoned. Wrapped around her neck before one end was tossed over her left shoulder was a crimson and violet striped silk scarf.
Her sapphire-silver eyes gazed out a darkening ocean, silently roaring with an internal vigor. She clutched her notebook full of lyrics as she shuffled her way over to a bench hidden by multiple trees and bushes that nobody knew about, except for herself. She knew that she was probably scuffing up her new checkered slip-on tennis shoes, but didn't seem to mind. From mid-thigh all the way to her toes, she had on gray sock-like stockings.
When she caught sight of the bench, she turned around to peer behind her to make sure nobody was watching before she sat down and untied her hair from her single braided bun, leaving her hair in its loose braided confinement. Her eyes darkened to a shade of ebony when she thought of what she had seen yesterday.
--------------------------------------
A giggling, drunken senshi. An utter disgrace. Especially when she was hanging off the ex-chikyuu-ouji-sama. 1
A loud sigh escaped her lips, but neither the ex-chikyuu-ouji-sama nor the drunken senshi noticed, because she was under a disguise. Her normal gold-almost-completely-silver hair had been colored to a darker shade of her natural blonde hair and she wore violet contacts to change her eyes. Her hair was shrunken, courtesy of the disguise pen, to the end of her shoulders and was tied in corn rows.
When the ex-chikyuu-ouji-sama took the drunken, giggling senshi up to the private rooms, she felt like she was going to hurl. As teal hair disappeared up the stairs, she let go a loud, disgruntled string of words in her native tongue, Lunarian. Her eyes widened when she released that the senshi's other half was probably utterly clueless what was happening behind her back. A sharp gasp escaped her ruby lips as she realized that she was probably the only one who knew… but it would break her senshi's heart if she told her, and she probably wouldn't believe her…
To think that she had naively loved him at one point in time. How naïve and childish she had been.
--------------------------------------
She pulled out a mechanical pencil from her violet messenger bag with patches; of her favorite bands, favorite sayings and happy bunny, sewn onto it. Staring blankly out into the sea, she thought, 'Ironic that the sea is what inspires me to write most of the time. Ironic that he was cheating on me, while I was away. It's probably not even her fault. Our enemy has probably blinded him by power and he's using it to manipulate people do what he wishes. Ketsuaonasi.'2
With the wheels in her mind turning, she instantly began scribbling down her idea for a song. 'And I'll sing it when I return home.'
Cold
wind whispering in my lonely ear,
Telling me that heartbreak is
drawing near.
You
so hungry, baby,
You'll eat anything on your plate.
Guess
you don't go home no more,
Cause you got a secret date.
You
gotta hit me on the head a few times.
So
blind with wishes,
I can't see past your sliminess.
I
miss Nick-o-liss,
Every single day of my life.
Gimme
back all my DOA records,
Or I'll show you right! 3
Usagi smirked - which was very unlike her - at the lyrics. 'He totally deserves this. Especially my anger, my pain. If only I could make him feel the way I do. Drag him into the darkest places of Hades, just for hurting me.'
She shook her head, before putting the notebook and pencil in the messenger bag. Pulling out a gray beanie from the bag, she put it on and thought, 'Heck, I SHOULDN'T care, but somehow, part of me does. WHY? I HAVE a boyfriend. One that loves me, too. Yami-chan… Kami-sama, I miss you so much. Why did I leave anyways? What good have I done here? Absolutely nothing. I know things I don't want to know because it only hurts the other senshi. Why? And WHEN do I get to leave? I want to see my actual father, who probably has no idea I'm alive. Great, huh? ... Not.'
--------------------------------------
Unbeknown to the tsuki no hime, her thoughts were heard by the Meiousei no Senshi and her mother, the former tsuki no jouou. 4 The dead queen mindlessly flicked her white hair behind her shoulder while watching her daughter from a portal that the Meiousei no Senshi had created for her on a daily basis. A portal less than four feet away from the queen sitting on her throne merged and out stepped the Meiousei no Senshi, who had been watching the time gate for the past several days.
"Hello Setsuna," came the soft melodic voice of her queen.
Setsuna bowed quickly before standing up and waiting for permission to address her queen.
A tinkering of bells sounded and Setsuna realized her queen was giggling. Her crimson eyes widened. Since when had the queen started giggling?
"I saw the scene," was Queen Selenity's comment. "I think we should bring her other half into this world. I want to see the reaction of the senshi. She will need his support through the first trial… Judgment."
"Selenity-sama, Serenity-jouou-sama from the future has asked if I will send Chibi Usagi, or as we know her, Isis, and her little sister, Yue. I have not set a date to send them to the past yet. I was thinking today would be fine since no youmas have attacked yet. Is that alright with you, Selenity-sama?"
"Hai Setsuna-kun, it is fine. But you have to give the senshi a reason for their appearance. Training would be suitable, don't you agree?"
Setsuna nodded and went to bow to her queen, when her queen turned to face her and asked her an unusual question, "When you return from dropping off the mirai-himes, would you come back and brush my hair, Setsuna-kun? My hair brush broke, you wouldn't mind would you?"
Setsuna suppressed a laugh and nodded, "Of course, Selentiy-sama."
With a wave of Time Staff, the Meiousei no Senshi vanished into a portal and stepped into the Time Gates.
--------------------------------------
"Alright chibi-himes, you can come out from hiding," the Time Guardian instructed as she let go of a sigh when she saw one of her portal coverings had been covered in markers.
"PUU!" came two simultaneous cries. Both girls; ages seven and three, launched themselves at the Time Guardian. She laughed and hugged both of the chibi-himes back. Her crimson eyes studied both of the girls. The eldest had cotton candy colored hair and was tied in two rabbit ear shaped cones with puffs gently brushing her shoulders. She too had crimson colored eyes. The younger hime only mimicked other people sense she had yet to learn how to speak, but giggled happily at her. Her hair was a bright red instead of pink and tied in two heart shaped buns in place of cones. Her blue eyes resembled her mother's, but they wouldn't stay that color for long.
The younger girl's soft red dress had several rips and tears, here-and-there, but she still held that huge smile that had no idea how much trouble she would be in if her mother found her dressed like that. Sailor Pluto pressed her index finger to the little girl's forehead and the silver eight-pointed star of Cosmos appeared on her forehead, shining brightly. In a flash of silver, the girl was dressed in a white shirt with puffy sleeves underneath a red sleeveless dress that formed into a bell-shape at her waist and ended at her knees. Around her feet were a pair of white Mary Jane shoes and matching socks.
Twirling around, the girl giggled and pulled out her favorite red umbrella from her sub-space pocket before looking at her older sister.
The senshi of time smiled at three-year-old before turning her attention to the seven-year-old. Pressing a white gloved finger to the elder hime's forehead, the sign of Cosmos appeared once again and in a flash of silver she was redressed. She stood in a pink tank top with 'Angel' printed in silver and a black skirt fluttered around her knees. As she stomped her foot, her eyes were drawn to her new black ballet flats.
"Thanks, Puu," came the pink-haired hime's voice.
She nodded and then heard, "Thanks Puu!" from the little girl's high voice trying to copy her sister's thanks.
Sailor Pluto smiled and waved a hand in front of a portal, "Do you want to watch a scene in the past before I send you to the past, himes?"
Both eagerly nodded their approval and curiously watched their mother's past self as their Time Guardian left them and ushered one of the most important people in her hime's life into a portal as she smiled at the wide shock in crimson eyes.
--------------------------------------
Letting go of a sigh, Usagi stood up from her bench and turned to leave the park. She began walking to the entrance, but not before she ran into someone.
"Gomen nasai," she mumbled while turning to continue on her way, until an arm grabbed her.
She smelled liquor on the person's breath and instantly she knew who it was.
"C'mon baby," came his deep drunken voice and his grip tightened on her arm painfully. "I want you… and you want me… you know you do…"
Her sapphire-silver eyes turned a dark abyss color before she turned around and slapped him, eyes narrowed.
"I'm not your doll, Chiba. Get the hell out of my sight."
His body sagged on top of her, and she knew that he had just collapsed. Disgusted, she hauled his dead weight off of her lithe frame and ran away from his body and into somebody else.
She muttered an incoherent apology and was about to take off when she heard, "Why are you apologizing to me, Usa-chan?"
--------------------------------------
"Alright chibi-himes," came Sailor Pluto's voice. "It's time for you enter the past. Are you ready?"
Two eager nods were her answer as she opened a portal and the two himes stepped through and into their mother's past; regardless of the fact that they didn't know that they were sisters.
Chapter 12:
1Ex-chikyuu-ouji-sama
Boy am I nice! (sarcasm intended) This is translated to mean: "Ex-Prince-of-Earth."
2Ketsuaonasi
Oh, I am so nice to the jackass. Well, 'jackass' is close to this word's meaning, except it means 'asshole', not 'jackass.'
3'Cold winds … you right!'
Okay, this clip of this song doesn't belong to me. It never will and never has. It's from BIF Naked (one of the best Canadian female singers EVER!) and it's called 'Dawn' from her Purge CD. Okay buy it because it is TOTALLY worth the money and easy to relate to.
4Meiousei no Senshi; tsuki no jouou
Okay, Japanese translation: Solider of Pluto, Queen of the Moon. Happy? I think it's correct, I got it from my friend who's in her fourth year of Japanese. Correct me if I'm wrong.
