Chapter two: Broken

September 1st 1977- Hogwarts Express/Platform 9¾ (9 months earlier)

Sirius Black threw himself tiredly down into the seat next to the window on the Hogwarts Express in his selected compartment, his three best friends, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew following him in and taking their seats around him. The three were engaged in their conversation of their summer holidays. Sirius however, wasn't interested in the topic and much preferred to gaze out the window onto the still crowded platform 9¾.

His summer holidays had been the same as every other year. Except this year he had bought an apartment and moved out of the Potter's home since he'd left his family long ago. Sirius had James, Remus and Peter over on many occasions over the holidays to keep him company, making it the best time of his life.

Yet at the same time, it wasn't. James had spent the least amount of time with him these holiday's then ever before, and that could all be blamed on one person. Lily Evans. James' new girlfriend as of the end of their sixth year, in whom, Sirius utterly despised. James had even brought his girlfriend back to Sirius' apartment to spend the night there with him a couple of times, and James was the only one blind to Sirius' annoyance.

Everyone had known the 'love' James had for Lily, and the 'hate' she had for James. The two brawled on so many occasions it was hard to keep up with them, but when they found out they were to be Hogwarts's head prefects over the holidays, they became almost inseparable. Sirius couldn't understand how such a hate could blossom into something like that. James and Lily were nothing like Sirius and his previous girlfriends either. There seemed to be something in their relationship that Sirius had never had before with a girl. Probably never would. Even now, with his current girlfriend there was something missing in their relationship that James and Lily had. That just seemed to encourage him to hate Lily even more. It was clear to Remus and Peter that Sirius had even become a little jealous of Lily, for James now spent all his time with her instead of him.

The conversation in the compartment turned to Lily as if on que, and Sirius let out a grunt that went unnoticed by the other three. Out on the platform standing by a large pillar he noticed his so called family and his expression hardened. The years had treated his mother well. She stood proud and tall with her nose up in the air as usual, eyeing off all the half-bloods and Muggle-borns. She stood beside Sirius's father, who was turned towards Regulus, with a supporting hand on his shoulder. Regulus was starting to look more and more like their father as he grew, that same pointed nose and hard stone face, the cold black eyes that when they looked at you, you just got the chills.

Sirius couldn't stand to look at them. He hated each of them with an equal passion. His gaze lingered until it settled on a family of four standing a few feet away from his own. His brows knitted together, realising he'd never seen the two children before, and that in itself was odd because they were defiantly no first years.

Standing between his mother and father was a boy who looked to be about fifteen. His long sandy brown hair fell messily into his face, covering large blue eyes. His lips were spread with an eager smile, as he said his final goodbyes to his mother and father.

Hiding behind her mother was a girl who couldn't be any older than seventeen. She looked to be about one of the purest people he had ever seen. Her long silver locks of hair were arranged in two heart shaped buns which sat on the top of her head, cascading down from them was flowing silver hair that reached her ankles. Her eyes were large and blue like her brothers, but were much colder and emptier then his. She kept her head titled downwards as to try and hide her face which didn't even bare a smile, just looking at her made Sirius shudder.

There was a final whistle from the Hogwarts express, and all the students still left standing on the platform rushed on board. Sirius watched the two say a final goodbye to their parents and disappear through the doors of the Hogwarts Express.

Sirius sat there stumped as to who the two could be. He was certain he'd never seen either of them at Hogwarts before. There had been rumours floating around at the end of last year that two students from another country with special magical abilities were going to attend Hogwarts… but that was only a rumour. Neither of those two looked as though they acquired special magical abilities either. Without realising, Sirius got to his feet, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"And then — you won't believe this — Sirius?" James stopped talking, turning everyone's attention on him.

"I'll be right back." Sirius said shortly and left the compartment, leaving his friends to wonder where he was going.

"Shingo-baka," the annoyed voice of seventeen year old Usagi Tsukino cut through the air, "get down from there, now."

The said boy gave a last goodbye yell, ignoring his sister's deathly glare of disapproval as he stood on the seat and stuck his head out the window to farewell his parents. He pulled himself back into the compartment as they turned the corner and smiled innocently to his sister, falling in the seat opposite her.

"Lay off, Odango Atama." Shingo teased, mocking her given nick name.

Usagi glared at the name, "Shut up," She hissed, "Don't you ever call me that again."

Shingo stood up, "Odango Atama!" He run past her and through the glass compartment door before Usagi could do anything to him, and threw his tongue out at her previous to walking off down the hall to find somewhere else to sit.

Usagi got to her feet and slammed the door shut as hard as she could after him, shattering the glass in the process. "Usagi…" the black cat bearing a crescent moon on her forehead, curled up beside a white cat, also with a crescent moon, scolded at the girl. Her eyes filling with tears, Usagi ignored her guardian cat and pulled the curtains firmly shut, making the compartment almost completely black. She threw herself down on the seat and buried her head in her arms.

Luna and Artimus exchanged worried glances. "Usagi, you really shouldn't let what Shingo says get to you so much. He doesn't understand what you're going through." Luna reasoned with the weeping girl.

"He knows I hate being called Odango Atama, Luna." She snapped viscously. "Ever since—since—Mamoru—" her voice broke off.

"Yes, but he doesn't understand what it's like to lose everyone close to you, and lets hope he never does," Artimus sighed, "He doesn't realise it reminds you of Mamoru and the girls."

Usagi felt her chest constrict tightly at the mention of her deceased love's name. Her eyes felt heavy with the tears they were leaking. She hadn't slept in days… she hated sleeping. But she was just so exhausted. Her eyes began to droop, and the comforting voices of her guardian cats melted in the air around her.

Her throat was raw from screaming, and as her most recent scream burst through her lips it wavered and slowly died into a soundless nothing. She coughed tiredly, and willed herself to scream her pleadings again. She wouldn't stop. Not until everyone of her senshi was standing here beside her.

The bloodshot puffy red eyes stared murderously at the skies, "BRING THEM BACK!" She screamed through her dying voice at the fates that stole her life from her.

Eternal Sailor Moon lay low to the ground, staring at the circle of dead bodies that used to hold the spirits and souls of the ones she loved most.

Ami.

Rei.

Makoto.

Minako.

Haruka.

Michiru.

Setsuna.

Hotaru.

Mamoru.

Dead.

Every single one of them. All had died, given their lives for her, in the final battle against Sailor Chaos. To end the Sailor Wars. Chaos had killed them all right before her eyes, and he stood there laughing at her as their agonised screams tore her apart from the insides. Laughing.

"Usagi-Chan?" A gentle voice echoed over her head, it eerily growing to nothing. Slowly Usagi raised her head, her gaze meeting with nine ghostly figures, each smiling gently down onto her.

Usagi's eyes overflowed with more tears, "Minna…" She tried to exclaim, but her throat didn't allow for her voice to come out in anything except a cracked whisper. "Y-you've come back to me…"

Setsuna closed her eyes, shaking her head gently, "No, Hime-sama. We can't come back through the galaxy cauldron because it has been destroyed. There is no way we can come back now."

Usagi whimpered, "There has to be a way! We'll find one!"

"There isn't. This was meant to happen, Hime," Setsuna sighed helplessly, "I'm so sorry."

Usagi tilted her head downwards, throwing herself forwards onto the hard, unforgiving floor hopelessly. "Don't cry, Odango Atama," Mamoru whispered, stepping towards his weeping love.

She sniffed, looking into Mamoru's transparent eyes. "Mamoru…" She reached out to touch him, but her hand fell straight through his body, causing Usagi to cry out. The sensation she felt as she held her hand at his face in horror was one of a bucket of freezing ice being dumped on her hand, and she quickly withdrew from him with another cry.

"Koneko-chan," Haruka said, stepping towards the crying rabbit on the floor, "Don't cry. I hate to see you like this, and know there isn't anything I can do to help you."

Michiru also came forwards, and took Haruka's hand in hers, "We love you, Usagi-Chan, and we never will stop loving you."

"Yeah, Usa-mama!" Hotaru exclaimed, also rushing towards the group huddled around Eternal Sailor Moon, "We will see you again, I know we will."

Usagi whined quietly beside Mamoru.

This was too much for her.

They couldn't leave her like this!

They were her friends!

Her only friends!

She needed them more than they would ever know!

She would die without them!

She was an empty shell without them!

She was dead without them.

"Usagi-Chan," Makoto sighed, coming closer to Usagi, "I remember when I first met you. You were the only one in your school brave enough to come and talk to me after everything you'd heard about me. You were my very first friend. Thank you, Usa."

Rei also stepped towards the group, "Odango," She whispered, a small transparent tear leaking down her face, "Sometimes I questioned that you would ever amount to being what you were born to be. You were the biggest cry baby I knew. But I never doubted you. I knew you were chosen for a reason. And I've had the best three years of my life here, knowing you as my friend."

Usagi wanted to talk.

She wanted to tell her senshi how much she loved them.

How much she needed them as well.

How much she wanted them to be back here with her right now.

How much she wanted to die right now if they couldn't come back to her.

She wanted to tell them everything.

"One thing I'll always remember about you, Usagi-Chan, is how carefree you are," Ami started through a smile, "You were my first friend as well, and you taught me there was more to life than studying."

Minako crouched down beside Usagi, her own tears spilling freely from her eyes, "My best friend, Usa. I love you so much, I couldn't ever have asked for a better friend. You'll live past this, I promise you. You're going to have a wonderful life, Usagi, and I only ask that you remember us. We love you more than you'll ever know."

Usagi nodded, "I'll never forget."

"My dearest Usagi… you were the most important person to me, and I would do anything to keep you safe, even if we can't be together. I know I can move on now knowing that you're safe. I'll always be here with you in spirit, Usagi. I love you more than you'll ever understand." Mamoru whispered.

"No… Mamoru—" Usagi's voice broke out again, "I can't live without you. Please—don't leave—"

With a look from Setsuna, the eight Senshi stood up in a circle around the blonde and her love, joining hands. "I'm sorry it had to end this way, Usagi, but the fates forbid me to change it. You need to be strong."

"No—! Please, Minna—!"

Her chest constricted tightly around her heart. She couldn't breathe.

They couldn't leave her!

She needed them!

Tears fell frantically from her eyes.

Her arms were outstretched trying to hold the Senshi and keep them from leaving her.

They couldn't leave her.

She was nothing without them.

"You'll never be alone, Usagi. We'll always be with you, my Hime."

The Senshi nodded in agreement and closed their eyes, blocking out Usagi's deafening cries. Slowly, they formed into eight glowing balls of light and flew into Usagi's chest one by one, and she glowed their respective colour for a moment. Mamoru began to fade out next to her, his last words to her echoing around her, "I love you…"

A blinding light enveloped her, and when it did, Usagi Tsukino died.

Sailor Cosmos was born.

And she was alone.

Usagi Tsukino had died.

I'm back. Oh yes I am! God it's been forever. Check my bio for details of my absence. I hope to update 'Traces Of Mistakes' within the next week, would be sooner if I hadn't have lost my outline of how I wanted the story to go. We'll see what happens. Till then.

REVIEW PLEASE!
