I'm back, and sooo much sooner than usual!! You can see that I'm trying my best. Although I wish I was updating my other stories. Moonlights Cove is one I want to edit and retype. My friend wrote those few first chappie's and she didn't add any detail at all. Shame on her!! But anyways...I shouldn't be rambling on about another story when it has nothing to do with this one. After all your here to read this one...right?
Thanx to:
TropicalRemix: Well it's up to you guys on whether she lives or dies. I can have this story go both ways. I'm glad I still have your reviews!! --hugglez--
serenambunny: So far...I have to say that she wont. Personally I dont want her to die either...(she's one of my fav's too.) But...it is a story...I will try to work with what everybody wants.
monkeychow: I'm glad that you think my story has potential. I really appreciate it. Thanx for voting!!
Serenity's Angel In Heaven: I'm sorry you think that my story is boring. It's hard to read people writing that. But you know the saying...'If you have nothing nice to say....then dont say nothing at all'....I do appreciate your honest opinion. But to just put it that bluntly, is not nice. I'm trying here...I have to give the background before I go into anything else. Be patient.
fanficfan: Dont worry, I planning on finishing this story. I already have about 3 chappie's written in my notebook that it currently under my bed. And you will get to know what's wrong with her soon. I promise.
Jenna: lol, I'm glad you like my story!! But dont go into withdrawal...I'm loosing reviews....it's sad.
Kawaii Usa: Wait no longer!!! ;
Blondie: Will you now?? No stalking, right?
Anhthy: Pluto's role will reveal it's self later. Give me time. Motoki is one of Usa's bet friends, and he's been there with here since the beginning that why she can trust him. And yeah he's a bit OOC in this fic. So expect that later on.
Moon's Rose: I'm glad that you enjoyed that chapter as much as you say you did. I'll be trying to add more humor to this, but this story is mainly angst. I wanna make you laugh more.
Silver Moonlight-81: Glad you did!!
momocolady: the person next to Pluto?? Hmmm, you will find out. Dont worry!!
Cynthia: --Gasps!! You....you forgot?? -faints- lol. I'm glad you're back!!!! You know what!! Just Because you came back and requested that she not die......I will go through with your request!! I will make her live for you.... , but I'm expecting some reviews!! (kidding). I do take Jap. classes, but not in school. And I seem to be going less and less, such a pity!!
LOTUSNEKO: God!!! I'm sooo glad that you thought it was well written!! I'm glad that you thought that having chibi-usa as Ikuko's daughter fits well. Darn, I was hoping that I didn't have any mistakes....but at least I'm getting a tad better at catching my mistakes!! Ano, is the equivalent of [Well, ummm] and Hime means [princess] and yeah Demo does mean but.
CCE: Hi there!!
Amee: Wait no more!! here ya go!! . You're the only one to guess that!! but I wont tell you if you're right or not. I'll just say, maybe!
Eo: Well you and so many others. You will know what's going on if your patient with me, and stay with my all during this story.
----INSERT STANDARD DISCLAIMER---
----------------------------------------------------------
I woke up, surprisingly quite refreshed this morning. I'd have to say the best night of sleep in a while...even though I really didn't sleep all night, if you know what I mean.
At the moment I want nothing more but to get up and take a nice relaxing shower....but I'm afraid if I moved more than needed I would wake up the sleep prince. Something I dont want to do, he tends to be a lil moody sack of........Anyways!!
I seem to be letting my thoughts wonder to places that they shouldn't be going to.
Shingo seemed to be the one thing that has been constantly on my mind. When I first saw him I didn't know how to react, I froze...I panicked, but when he simply reached out for me -a simple gesture- I forgave him with no after thought. I dont know if it was the smartest thing in the world to do. I know Mamoru was surely surprised. But after all...he is my brother and I love him, regardless of the fact that he had left with my.....with his mother.
I often wondered if they had ever thought about me. About the day that has plagued my dreams for so many years, and will continue to do so for all my days to come. If they had ever thought about it and regretted their actions. More or less his mother.
Would she had left if she had never known the fact of my impending death? I often think that she would have left, even if I was healthy. My illness just gave her an excuse. Somehow...deep in my heart, I always knew that she never loved me like she did Shingo. I reminded her too much of my father. The same kind and forgiving heart, the same thoughts and beliefs. I had his eyes. The same eyes that my mother once loved, but now seemed to hate with burning passion.
Why? I seem to be asking myself the same question over and over in my head. Never able to push it out. Why was I destined to be the legendary Sailor Moon, savior of all that is good...Why did I have to be Princess Serenity? Couldn't Rei do it? She's always the one that has wanted to be that, even if she denies it so.
My father, before he died, left me a journal of all of his thoughts, feelings, and favorite quotes that were directly written for me. In one entry he wrote:
'My dearest Usa,
Life is always and will continue to be filled with disappointments. You must always keep your head up and look at the bright side of things. Never must you falter, but if there is a time that it does happen....think of everyone that loves you. That alone will bring you up. You have a gift, a light, that now in days is extinct. If the world were to lose that precious light, [we] would forever be plagued by darkness. You were meant for great things, things beyond our wildest imagination. But, to get to those great things, you will have to undergo a lot of obstacles. {There is no such things as failure. Mistakes happen in your life to bring into focus more clearly who you really are} Always remember that.....{At some point, everyone goes through something difficult in their lives. No one's immune to it. But there are so many other sides to us...we have other things to offer} and especially you. Aishiteru Usako. Aishiteru....(I love you)
Your Father'
That was his last entry. It was written right before the accident. Before that damn drunk truck driver slammed into his car. Kami-sama, the memory of it still makes me cry, but no....I will not cry. My father wouldn't want that. He would want me to be strong...and I will be..only for him.
"Dont think about that, Usa-koi" a husky voice whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I turned my head slightly to the side and felt myself drown in his eyes. I was well aware of my glossy eyes, just waiting to release tears. I ducked my head under his strong jaw in embarrassment. He wrapped his arm around me securely, as I cried.
"It's hard not to" I said with the utmost difficulty. I wanted nothing more then to be in his arms forever, if only things were that simple.
"It is simple...Stay with me forever. Never leave me Usako" he whispered into my ear.
"Stop reading my thoughts Mamo-baka" I mumbled playfully. He smiled and kissed me. It wasn't a long kiss, but enough to know that I needed it. I kissed him back, but pushed him back slightly. He shot me a questioning look. "I need a shower" I jumped out of the bed running into the bathroom before he was able to keep me in there. If I did, I know he would have questioned me about the whole 'illness' thing. It's been in his mind since the day I read that bloody letter.
I should tell him...He deserves to know!! I know he does....but I just- I can't bring myself to tell him that. I'm sorry, so sorry that I'm making everyone around me suffer even if they dont know it.
"I'm sorry Mamo-chan"
---------------------------
"So, what's on the agenda today??" Minako asked with a relaxed smile, letting her gaze wander over the 3 other girls.
Ami and Makoto were both sitting down on a bench that was nearest to the small pond. They hoped that Usagi was there, seeing as how she practically lived at the park, but she wasn't. They decided to relax for a while, before heading over to her apartment. Rei was sprawled under a tree, her violet eyes closed. Mina had her feet in the water, moving them in small circles.
Both Ami and Makoto had been extremely quiet since yesterday afternoon. No one knew why that had been...they refused to talk about it, following Motoki's example.
Abruptly Ami stood up "Makoto and I are going to go to talk with Usagi" she motioned Makoto to stand. She rose up, along with the other girls.
"Then lets all go" Rei stated. Ami quickly shook her head in disagreement.
"No. We have to go" she pointed at Makoto and herself. "We have a few things to discuss, you can join us later"
"Who the HELL do you think you are!!!?? You cannot order us around!! We will go where ever we please, not you...or you can stop us! We have a right to know as well!!" Rei spat out in anger.
Before Ami could respond to her angry outburst, a piercing scream filled their ears.
"Girls, fight now yell later...we have work to do!!" Minako yelled. Each nodded their heads, before taking out their transformation wands (A/N: Does anyone know what they are really called? There was a specific name....I dont remember what it was, please tell me if you know. Just to give you a heads up, I'm not that good at fight scenes, but I'll give it a try)
"VENUS STAR POWER!!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!!!"
"MARS STAR POWER!!"
"JUPITER STAR POWER!!"
After a blinding light show of different colors, stood four sailor senshi. Each with their planetary color: Green, Orange, Red, and Blue. They ran towards the scream, hoping it wasn't too late. After running for two minutes, they came to this clearing and stopped abruptly.
In front of them stood a green dog-like monster. It had long scaly arms and legs, looking a lot like snake tails. His torso was greenish-red, resembling more a vomit like color. But his eyes....oh god, they looked so familiar. A beautiful cerulean blue....so much like Usagi's.
"REI, get that woman to safety!!" Minako pointed to the now-unconscious woman laying in front of them....Her energy zapped. Rei nodded and pulled the lady off to the left, behind a couple of trees. "AMI, whats the weak point???" Ami began to type on her little computer rapidly.
"Give me a minute. Distract it!" she demanded.
"SUPREME THUNDER" Jupiter launched an attack, she waited patiently to see the effect of it...but it simply lifted it's hand and absorbed the attack. Not even flinching. Jupiter let out a harsh cry as her attack was redirected at her, and hit her.
"VENUS LOVE-ME CHAIN" Venus let out a hearted chain and wrapped it around the youma. She tightened her chain, giving it no chance to escape. But just as it had absorbed Jupiter's attack...it too absorbed the orange chain. "Uh oh. I think we should call Moon!" Venus said desperately.
Rei opened her small communicator and pressed a couple of button's. After what seemed like forever, a blonde girl appeared on the screen.
"Moon here" her voice sweet and calm.
"Get your ass down here now!!! We need you" Rei said hastily. Usagi's eyes hardened.
"Where?" her voice cold.
"The park...close to the pond. Now Hurry!!"
"Right, on my way!!" Rei closed the small communicator and ran towards the other girls to help. Jupiter was trying her best to distract it from Mercury, but to no avail. It's scaly arm reached out and grabbed her by the neck, raising her off the ground. Mercury began to twitch from the lack of air, he face gaining the color blue. Not good. She brought her small gloved hands to her neck to the arm that prevented her from breathing. She kicked and struggled as hard as she could. Not even that was enough.
The senshi tried their hardest to get her loose, nothing helped! Everything they threw at it...It simple absorbed it. They were just feeding it more energy.
Suddenly Mercury stopped gasping and landed with a loud thud. Her hands still holding on to the green arm. She brought her eyes down to look at it and threw it away as soon as she realized that it was no longer attached to the body.
"How dare you try to hurt my friends aitsu{creep}!!!!!" Sailor Moon stood atop a tree branch in all her glory. Her long silver hair (A/N: It turns silver at night, remember? Cuz of the moon's rays. Got it? Alright!) waving along with the wind. Her fuku, flapping against her creamy pale skin. She jumped down to the ground and automatically went to Mercury.
She extended her hand to her, Mercury quickly grabbed it. "Daijoubou desu ka?" {Are you okay?} Moon asked her with concern.
Mercury ,still with her hands on her neck, nodded. "Hai. I'm fine"
Moon, taking her position in front of the girls, stood in fighting position "Lets finish this, shall we!! After I throw my attack, combine it with one of yours" after everyone nodded. A scepter appeared.
"MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION!"
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY"
"BURNING MANDALA"
"SUPREME THUNDER!!"
"CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!!"
Their attacks formed into one, flying straight towards It. (A/N: That's what I have officially named it. It will now be called It!) It's cerulean eyes widen with horror as it was completely drowned in light. As soon as the light faded away so did the monster.
Before they had a chance to celebrate on their new victory. A loud chuckle echoed in the air, along with a taunting clap.
"I'm disappointed in you, Sailor Brats! Tsk Tsk Tsk You had to go and call Miss Moon. Although can't say that I don't appreciate you bringing her"
Sailor Moon looked around her, trying her best to find out where the person was. His voice rang out from all around her, making impossible to tell. She growled in frustration. "Show yourself, you coward!!"
"Such a temper, princess. Calm down, you will see me. Not now....It's not time for you to....Well, you get the idea" he laughed maliciously. After 30 seconds everything once again became silent.
"That voice" Moon said quietly. She had heard that voice before, long ago. But from where!? (A/N: Anyone guess who that person is??)
------------
"Sir, what are your orders today?" a purple youma bowed in front of a sinister man sitting on a green throne. A frown pasted on his face.
"Get two youmas, you know which kind, and get them ready. It's time that we finish this....It's time that I receive my prize" He stirred that glass in his hand, took a sip of alcoholic drink with his eyes closed. Not something he was used to drinking, but it beat what the green haired whore always gave him.
He crossed his legs and let out a loud sigh, running his hands through his silky locks he turned on a hologram. A woman. A woman he so desperately desired. A woman that was soon to be his.
"Serenity"
-------------------------------------------------------
Me done!!! For this chapter at least. Most of this chapter is background information. I need to give you most of the details before getting into the action. As you can see, the plot is starting to thicken. Just please, be patient. I know this chapter is short, thats the reason I already have the next chapter written. To post it sooner, kay?
I see that I've been getting less and less reviews. I'm really disappointed. I really am. I hope that changes. Begs Please review!!! You can flame me...Just not without real reason. If you truly find something about my story completely annoying, you can tell me. But be nice about it. I just want to point someone out. One person, I wont mention any names, e-mailed me and began to tell me that I had to stop writing stories because she/he didn't like the way it was going. Now, if you truly did not like this or any of my other stories...that's alright. I wont hold it against you. What I will hold against you is the way you told me. I dont appreciate it! I wont sit here and continue something that many people liked, to be ridiculed by you. Understand???
Anyways, on a happier note. I do in fact have the next chapter complete. And will post it as soon as I have reviews. So please do review!!!
'Till next time
