MoonDragon: It's been about a week, and I'm trying to have at least one new chapter up every 7 days. Thanks to everyone who's reviewing , and keep doing it, it makes me feel special. I thought it'd be cool for Chibiusa to actually have powers which aren't useless, so that's what i did. Tell me what you think. Is she as bad as the one in the anime?

Unspoken Memories

Chapter 9

Usagi couldn't believe it. Things had been going so well with Mamoru and all of a sudden Luna had to go and mess everything up with her call of danger. Well, it wasn't particularly her fault, but she was the one spouting the bad news making her a liable person to blame. Some youma was causing damage to the city near the shopping district and Sailor Moon was needed to spring into action.

Now she was hurtling through the arcade not paying much attention to what was ahead of her. She could appear there by teleportation, but it wasn't that far off. It wouldn't take too long of a run. Throwing the door aside as though it were insignificant the teen barely had time to listen to it close before tumbling toward the ground. She had stumbled into something small, soft, and possibly pink haired. After landing on her back she forced herself into a seating position rubbing the new sore area taking a look into what exactly it was she ran into.

The little girl hadn't recuperated from her fall yet and was still flat on her back letting out a groan of discomfort. She seemed like she could be a fourth or fifth grader. Despite the fact that her hair looked naturally light pink, something else caught Usagi off-guard and stole her attention first as she studied her. Her hair was fashioned in the same style as hers was; two little buns atop her head with pigtails trailing down the back. Except unlike hers, the tails stopped at shoulder length. That style was the trademark of the royal Moon family. It wasn't just some common thing that was in magazines that everybody decided to do. 'I guess she could be a Sailor Moon fan. My hair looks the same then as it does now. Oh, that's pretty awesome! I'm an idol!'

"Ah, I'm so sorry! I'm in a hurry, so I'm not really watching where I'm going," Usagi explained rushing over to help the girl up. Internally she knew it was more important to tackle the situation in the shopping district first, but she figured it could wait. Nokemono's goal wasn't to harm citizens; it was to harm her. They would be safe until the incident currently at hand was taken care of. Besides, she didn't want to be rude.

After making sure the little girl was alright she waited a moment to see if this stranger would say anything. When she didn't Usagi began to feel uncomfortable above her gaze as she bended down near her eye-level. It seemed like this little pink woman was studying her face trying to discover something out. After making a façade of realization she mumbled something under her breath, but it was too inaudible for Usagi to understand what it was. Despite what it could've been the golden haired teen had no time to waste. Despite Sailor Moon being the ultimate target, the police could come and try to interfere getting injured in the process.

"I got to go, see ya!" she said in a rush darting off into the direction that Luna specified that she travel in; the quickest route possible from her current whereabouts to the destination.

"W-wait!" The little girl shouted after her, but Usagi was already down the street turning into a dark, back alley. It smelled like the end of someone's sweaty feet, but it was the only near-by place uninhabited. Of course, you'd have to be deranged to want to be in a place like this, but she'd live with it in the few moments it took to transform.

Lifting her hand Usagi placed it over her heart. It wasn't exactly her heart her palm hovered over; it was the Silver Crystal safely nestled within her body. She pleaded in her mind to allow her to borrow from its powers once more. It was a ritual she always did before battle boosting her confidence. It gave her a lukewarm feeling like a babbling brook swaying in her veins. The same sensation overcame her as did all the other times. It was a pulling feeling just tempting her to use her fill and as much as she required for the purposes Sailor Moon would use it for. With confidence she spoke; another of her rituals that worked as a good luck charm triggering the change to the super heroine.

"Celestial Moon Crystal Power!"

The feeling buried in her veins began to heat up as her clothes dissolved away into the familiar scarlet ribbons encasing her form. She felt lightheaded as each clothing material began to materialize and shape to her body figure. It was a tipsy mood as she hovered just barely above the dirtied concrete. Her head tingled as the color shifted from the golden hair she was born with to silver making that the dominant color. Honestly, she didn't know why it changed, but she knew when it began. It started from the point when she finally gained access to the crystal and found out about her past life. She made an educated guess a long time ago and supposed it was because Serenity's hair had been more silver than golden. It was as if she were transforming into her former self.

As she could feel everything was in place the last step emerged. The warmest and gentlest feeling enveloped the center of her forehead as the moon mark appeared shinning a sparkling gold. She always felt more calm and at peace when it was placed there. Maybe because it belonged where it was when she was Sailor Moon. After battles when she reverted back to Tsukino Usagi a sense of loss overwhelmed her as the mark faded from sight.

Now fully prepared she could feel the energy being released from the Silver Crystal fueling her up. Energized, she jumped up the side of the building using the rooftops as her pathway, giving her an overhead view of the city. Usagi loved the feeling of leaping over ceilings one after another with nothing but the wind opposing her. She felt invincible as her feet seemed to glide over surface area barely even touching, yet still traveling at speeds much too fast for a human to accomplish without machinery aiding them. She knew her image blurred and left somewhat of an afterimage at this speed since she'd done it on the ground a previous time and passed a mirror shop catching her reflection.

It didn't take long without the interruption of citizens blocking the streets and with her rapid pace. Now she was perched over the edge of a clothing building watching as people were still in the process of scurrying out of the area. She briefly wondered to herself why they would even still be here. If a monster-like creature is crawling about you shouldn't waste your time in getting away. That should be instinct. She waited unnoticed until each and every human was gone before leaping down to the side of the youma.

"The star of the show is finally here, you can stop rioting," Sailor Moon announced referring to herself. At the sound of her voice, almost as if it were channeled to her frequency, it stopped in its tracks holding a crumpled up, metal mailbox. Turning its head 180 degrees from the neck it stared throwing the mailbox to the side letting it crash into a shop's window shattering glass along the road. Usagi made a mental note to keep from slipping, or it would have sharp, pointy consequences cutting into her flesh.

This youma seemed to be a female if they even had genders. Its body was curved and smooth with flaming red hair and slimy green skin. A green tail with red hairs at the end curled on the ground. The eyes were a putrid yellow glint with cat-like irises which appeared as if it were trying to tear Sailor Moon apart with just its vision. It saddened her. Even though it really had no thoughts and was half-dead, for someone who doesn't even know Sailor Moon to despise her so tugged at her heartstrings. 'Why are feelings of hatred so easy to have?' she wondered to herself as she felt the faint golden barrier materializing allowing attacks to pass from the inside out, but not vice-versa. It was like the ability was set on autopilot. She assumed it was the crystal wanting to protect its owner.

The youma let out a high-pitched screech cracking more of the glass making it shatter to the floor as well. Sailor Moon tried to block out the noise with her hands, but it did little to help. It still slipped trough making her feel dizzy and faint messing with her concentration. The shards on the streets glistened under the sunlight making vision more difficult with the distraction. Finally it ceased and charged forth, its feet bleeding from the sharp objects now littering the ground.

The youma threw a punch and Sailor Moon assumed the barrier would prevent it getting to her. To her surprise, it went straight through like it wasn't even there, but Sailor Moon intercepted it driving the blow away with her elbow, then slightly changing her position with a swirl, nailed a kick into the stomach. It growled closing in to bite the side of her neck like a vampire, but she dropped to the ground, made a swift 360 with one leg stretched out hitting in the joint of the demon's kneecap. The woman-like creature plummeted towards the ground as miniscule shards of glass penetrated its skin.

Sometimes the youmas were able to get to her bypassing the force field she had up. It seemed like a few were either strong enough to break it or they must have a special ability that makes it have no effect. Usagi supposed this one had that special ability.

It screeched yet again causing Sailor Moon's eardrum discomfort, but it wasn't as deafening as the first. It squirmed on the ground trying to regain its upright form again, but couldn't for a few moments. The movement just caused the glass to embed further into its back staining the pavement with blood. Just as Usagi was about to finish the creature off, someone's voice split the air. Thinking it was another youma, Sailor Moon pivoted away in case it was coming out in a surprise attack. She stood slightly crouched on full alert scanning the area with her eyes.

"Stand aside, Sailor Moon!" the voice spoke out. Usagi lost her tense state as someone came into view. It was most defiantly not a youma. Instead it was a little girl with pink hair with hands on her hips and legs spread out with a foot of space between them. Her outfit was similar to hers, only white and pink and Usagi's shoulders dropped. Even though there was a red mask covering her face it was obviously the child she had bumped into on her way over to the shopping district. "I'll finish this youma off!"

"Are you crazy?! Get back before you hurt yourself!" the teen shouted back. In between the two humans the youma was steadily getting back on its feet more furious than before. Sailor Moon groaned in disappointment. Truthfully, she was happy that someone idolized her enough to try and be her, but it was also a threat to the child's life. She didn't really seem to grasp the idea that the youma could kill her.

The youma was about to charge in on Sailor Moon, completely oblivious to the new intruder. Its eyes were only set on the target it was informed to obliterate. Usagi made her fighting stance ready to intercept another blow while keeping her eyes on the girl. She wanted to make sure she kept her distance.

It made a slash with its claws, but Sailor Moon dodged it by twirling into a pivot side-stepping the attack. The demon seemed to anticipate her moves as its tail came up to smack her in the face in her new position. On reflex from fighting for so long, her hands came up to grasp the extra limb just seconds before it plowed into her cheek. Acting quickly, she hauled the demon over her head, using the tail like an object, and slammed it back into the ground where it grieved and withered once again being cut by the shards. It took a moment to recuperate from the blows and Sailor Moon turned her attention back to the girl.

"You need to get out of here. It's dangerous!" The pink haired child smirked and stood her ground running in closer to them.

"I can attack too, Sailor Moon. Leave this youma to me, Sailor Chibi Moon!" she announced standing two feet away from the creature swiveling on the ground. With legs stretched out for a sturdy stance, she lengthened out her arm with her palm facing the youma. Her left hand grasped her right's wrist as if to take the recoil of whatever it was she could do. "Crescent Explosion!"

White light appeared from her palm in the form of an upside down crescent moon mirroring the mark on Sailor Moon's forehead. It took a few moments to charge and Usagi stared wide-eyed at what she was accomplishing. Tiny pebbles on the ground began to move backwards from the power this child was creating. Miniature bolts of electricity started to flare off of the light amazing Usagi even more than before. She had just assumed this kid was trying to emulate her, but she really did have powers. Now the only question was how did she get them?

Before the potent beam could be released, the youma was up again and charged forth at the self proclaimed Sailor Chibi Moon sensing that she could cause it harm. The child's arms fell, scared at the sudden movement, and her attack disappeared from fright. Covering her face she screamed and Sailor Moon's body began to move before she could think. With rapid footwork and speed she stepped in between the two covering the child's form with her own ready to take the hit. She prayed that the golden barrier surrounding her would be enough to get away with little to no damage.

It wasn't. With both of the youma's hands it made a powerful and thunderous crash going cleanly through the force-field and both clawed hands slashed across her back. Sailor Moon let out an air-shattering yell as the flesh was torn apart and blood escaped the new passage way. Both of them, since Usagi cradled the child in her arms, were now airborne flying across the street.

Knowing there were still shattered shards of glass littering the path Usagi turned them so she was the one now on bottom and took the hit. She groaned and withered as they cut into her body, some getting stuck under her skin. The pain was so intense she almost blackened out, but her body was used to such treatment by now. She could go on a little longer.

The youma laughed and clicked its tongue in delight at its accomplishment and Usagi wasted not one moment of its guard being down. She needed to heal as quickly as possible. Placing her palm on the ground she channeled her energy into the streets whispering, "Lunar Eclipse."

Her shadow sprung to life parting from her palm and gliding across the pavement to the youma who was too distracted to notice the attack by its glee. By the time the dark shade grasped onto the demon's feet it was too late to do anything about Sailor Moon's energy. It swallowed the monster's frame encasing it in darkness and all that could be heard was a squeal twice as loud as the first time. The sound died away within seconds and the eclipse subsided leaving not one trace of the youma left.

"I'm so sorry, Sailor Moon!" the child said backing away. Tears fell from her eyes as she sobbed. "If I had just let the attack go you wouldn't have gotten so hurt!" Usagi breath was ragged but she managed to smile.

"That's fine, I can just heal myself," she replied standing up feeling woozy. Her vision was fading so she muttered a quick 'Moon Healing Escalation' and it started to patch her up. This made her cells regenerate at a faster pace, but it also left her completely drained since it took so much energy. The Silver Crystal was healing, but the strain it put on her cells was exhausting. It got to work on stopping the major bleeding in her back and pushed out the shards caved in her skin. While this was happening she gave her attention to Sailor Chibi Moon.

"What are you doing coming out her just wearing a mask?!" she scolded the child with hands on her hips. "It's so obvious who you are, I can tell you're that girl I-" She covered her mouth quickly and could've sworn out loud. 'Great, Usagi, give away your identity why don't you? While you're at it, why don't you post it on the internet?' Studying the girl to see a change of expression, she sighed in relief when the stranger made none. She hadn't found out. The child pouted crossing her arms.

"Well what else am I supposed to do?"

"What I do, use your powers to hide it." When they first started out, she and the senshi made a technique that managed to muddle outsiders' vision so their minds got fuddled when they looked at their faces if they didn't already know who you were. She stumbled over to the girl, her footing unsure and wobbly. She put her hand on her forehead and said, "Moonlit Illusion."

Sailor Chibi Moon removed her mask and Usagi saw no change in her appearance from when they stumbled into each other. Of course, that was because she already knew what the kid looked like without the magic covering her. To others they wouldn't be able to tell, though.

Usagi winced from the wounds she had received. It was a slow process, but she was at least relieved that the bleeding ceased. It still stung and brought discomfort, but she could get home and sit out the wait until she was healthy again. Then she'd have to sleep for quite sometime. She smiled figuring when she woke up she could go to her tutoring with Mamoru.

"Babysitting, Sailor Moon?" a mysterious voice said from above on the rooftops. Usagi tensed knowing who it belonged to. "I can't believe you'd bring a child onto the battlefield. Disgraceful. She could die because of you, but would you care?"

Turning their heads the two Sailor Moons gazed upwards to see Sailor Uranus with Sailor Neptune by her side. Usagi gulped inaudibly fretting they wanted a fight. She was injured and it hurt just to move, and if they ganged up on her it might end badly.
