Sera Mun -Sailor Moon

A Twist of Fate

Luna's ears perked up when she heard Usagi's foot steps. "Usagi you made it!" Luna's face was full of happiness at the sight of Usagi and her odango atama.

"Yes, Luna. I'm here just like i said i would. And I'll always be right here beside you." Without planning to Usagi burst into tears. Luna stood and walked to where she qwas knelling at the side of the bed and rubbed her head on Usagi's cheek.

"What is the matter Usagi?" Luna still rubbing Usagi's cheek with her head she could sense the worry in her master and queen's voice.

Usagi wiping her tears away shook her head and said "Nothing, I'm just tired from the long ride home. Really it's nothing." Luna not the least bit convinced decided to let the matter go, if Usagi wanted to talk about it she soon would.

"Are you ready Usagi?" Ami was anxious to see what was to be done for the new born Star.

Usagi as if she had been ripped frm out of an awful dream leaped up from her place on the floor and very determinedlu said "Yes, are you Luna?"

"Of course dear. Go ahead."

"Moon Crystal Poower!"

As the transformation began and ribbions encircled baby Star and Sera Mun the Senshi and Luna sat in awe of the site. The ribbons moved and flew around the kitten gently engulfing her small body, yet as soon as it happened it stopped. Star went crashing down to the bed, her ribbons landing limply beside her while the fully transformed Sailor Moon, Luna, ans senshi rushed to her side.

"Star!? Star! Are you alright baby?" Luna was extremely frantic, she was licking her baby's face and nudging her head with her nose.

"Sailor Moon do something!" Rei was scared and it showed through easily.

"I...I...I don't know what to do...I'm sorry..." Sera Mun could hardly speak or see through her stream of tears. "I'm sorry Luna, I don't know what happened."

It should have worked! Why didn't it work?" Luna was becoming hysterical as she rambled off all the questions she was thinking at one time. The legend had been told no harm could come to her child under the Blessing preformed by Sera Mun with the Healing Crystal. Something had gone wrong...horribly wrong. As Luna continued to think about what could have gone wrong it dawned on her.

"NOOO!!!" When the inner senshi and Sera Mun heard Luna's scream they stopped talking and all eyes fell on Luna.

"What is it Luna?" Minako had been so excited about the baby's birth and now everything was falling apart.

"Someone has...has...POSIONED her! Remeber when we felt the strange presence?"

"Well yes Luna, but how can you be sure?" Ami for the first time in quite a while was confused.

"I just am, I'm a mother/" Luna ran out of the room crying, causing Artemis and Mamoru to run after her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, my plan has ben set into action...Now all we have to do is wait." Demando was very proud of himself and he could feel his reward coming.

"Brother, are you sure it will work? The senshi and Sera Mun are so close."

"Of course it will work Saffiru. They will shun her and blame her, which will in turn cause her to leave and find comfort in ME...Muahahahahaha!"

Esmeraude could hear the pleasure in Prince Demando's voice but the disgust she flet over the entire situation was overwhelming. And if she had anything to do with it, he wouldn't succeed with his plan.

With Luna out of the room Rei was able to charge at Sera Mun. "It's all your FAULT Sera Mun! If you had, had our ass here in the first place nothing would have happened to Star! You've been a flake long before you were handed the job of leader! It's about time someone else takes over."

There was silence in the room as Sera Mun thought of something to say. All the girls even Rei could see Sera Mun was hurting inside, knowing it was her fault, but not one of them would speak up to defend her from Rei's wrath. As Sera Mun cried her ribbons started to de-transform her and she stood there as Usagi.

"Rei, I know it's my fault. It's always my fault, I'm a klutz, a ditz, a moron, an odango atama, I'm everything you say I am. And worst of all, I have been an awful leader. I don't know what to do." Without even breathing she started to cry again.

"Yea, always do what your good at Usagi, cry. Cry like the little annoying brat that you are. Your more trouble than your worth! I hate you and I'm sure most of us do! What Mamoru sees in you now or what he sees in you in the future I'll never know."

"REI! Stop it! Usagi has been a wonderful leader. She's saved all of us at some point or another and you know it! She had no control over Star someone did that to her and it wasn't Usagi's fault." Ami and Minako had walked from the corner where Rei was standing and were now behind Usagi. Usagi felt a little reassurance with the two behind her.

"So now we're going to shoose sides huh? Well fine. Makato what do you think?" Unsure of what to do Makato quietly spoke "She's right."

There was such a gasp from Usagi's side fo the room that Rei could feel the air being pulled to that side of the room from behind her.

"You don't mean that Makato..Do you?" Ami was so shocked and baffled she couldn't even process what had been going on within the last ten minutes.

"Yes I do mean it Ami, Usagi has been a horrible leader and I hate to say it but it's how I feel.

"I understand Makato. It's fine."
