Chapter 2: Alas no Shoes
Dressed in the white dress, Usagi was in a dilemma. She had no shoes.
It was wonderful that the woman, Lust, she believed, had given her a dress, but couldn't she have provided shoes, as well? It wasn't a huge request. Just some plain shoes.
Before Usagi had wondered off onto the subject of shoes she had come to the conclusion that she was no longer in Kansas, so to speak. It didn't take much to arrive to this theory.
First of all, Usagi had never known of an area like this where she lived. There was also the fact that she had disappeared while reading the new Sailor V comic and suddenly popped up here from, what looked like, a summoning. But who was she to say? She wasn't an expert on these things. All she knew was what Puu had told her. That there were other dimensions besides their own and some had the means to travel or summon people from other dimensions. She also couldn't contact the senshi through the communicator.
Now all Usagi had to do was find civilization and find someone to send her back home cuz the dead guy certainly wasn't. Which brought her back to the shoe situation. To find civilization, it would certainly help to have shoes. Who knows what's on forest floors? Hmmm? Randomly pointy things! It never matters where you are in a forest, there are always pointy things. Usagi had no idea how they got there, but she just knew they were there.
For a couple of minutes she grumbled about having no shoes, but realized she needed to do something about the man lying next to her. That poor man...she understood Lust was trying to protect her from the less than sane man, but she didn't have to use such drastic measures and kill him.
A slow frown formed on Usagi face as she thought about it further. Sure the man had looked none too happy when he saw her, but it didn't mean he would harm her. Did it? No, she thought, shaking her head. Stop thinking about it, Usagi, and bury this man!
Usagi then preceded to dig a grave and used rocks and sometimes even her hands, to move the dirt. Using this method took several hours to make a large enough area for the man to rest in. It took her even longer to drag the man, dump him in the hole and cover him up with the dirt she had originally removed. The product of her efforts was a mound of dirt and a large stone on top to signify the marking of a grave site.
Covered in dirt and exhausted, Usagi found new resolve in herself and set off through the forest despite the fact she had no shoes.
