So, obviously, this is taking longer than expected. I did the timeskip last chapter because I'm too excited for Kyoto and nothing interesting would happen in between anyway XD I'm excited for you to meet these two characters! It might happen next chapter, though. They're awesome! :D Sailor Moon is owned by TOEI Animation and Naoko Takeuchi :D

"Come now, Shingo, dear, and Usagi. We must take our leave lest there is traffic."
That's Grandmother, 5-layered kimono and all. Proper, all image. She thinks I'm a disgrace.
"Hai, hai~!" Shingo calls, and runs out with his suitcases and bags to the car. I walk down the hallway with my one duffel bag, Luna hiding inside, the zipper undone a little so she can breathe. Grandmother probably wouldn't allow me to have her if she knew.
"Don't think you're going to get away with this. It's all your fault my poor child Kenji is dead, you know that, don't you?"
The best thing to say to her is "Yes, Ma'am." She's a ferocious one. I know it's not my fault, there was nothing anyone could do to prevent it, but I don't deny what she says because I don't like getting hurt.
Once we get to the train station, we find our train and I see Mamoru waiting there. I run over to him and hug him.
"Do you have Luna with you?"
"Yes, she's in my bag." I hesitate. "Please don't forget me," I whisper, tears threatening to spill. "Please wait for me."
He holds me tighter. "Of course. I love you."
I grit my teeth to keep from crying. I swallow and get my voice under control. "I'm not sure what I'll be allowed to do, but if I can, I'll write you. I promise. I'll be back in three years. I'll try to become someone you can be proud of."
He pulls my face to his and kisses me tenderly, but holds it, because it's the last for a while.
When it finally ends, he whispers, "I'm already proud of you. I love you more than you realize!" I suppress another sob and swallow again. "You gotta remember me, too, kay?" I nod silently, not trusting my voice anymore. His voice sounds a little thick, too. Maybe it's just my imagination. "It's not like we'll never see each other again."
"Usagi! It is time to depart."
I wipe my face again.
"Forget-me-nots, remember?" he says.
I instantly remember that time when I was 14, when Fiore came. I remember just before we met him, we were looking at forget-me-nots. I said, "They mean, 'Please don't forget me,' in the language of flowers!" We had almost kissed that time, but then the girls and Chibiusa had ruined it. I was so mad! They stuck a caterpillar in my face! I started at it, so furry and gross! I smile slightly, and nod.
"See ya later!" I say quietly, and he smiles at me. I walk away and get on the train. Just before stepping all the way on, I wave at him and he waves back.
~8 hours later~
When we finally arrive at the house, (Grandmother is retired; I can't exactly call it a house. It's more like a condo, in one of those gated neighborhoods. She also has a driver, a maid, and a butler; apparently, she used to be a scientist) Grandmother tells me where my room is, in the attic, of course. There's an old futon in the small room. That's it. There wouldn't be any room for anything else. I take a little time to get settled in. I let Luna out and lie on the futon.
"Usagi-chan..." Luna licks my face and I laugh softly.
"That tickles!"
"Usagi!"
I quickly stand and go out to see Grandmother. "Yes?"
"Tomorrow you will start attending St. Agatha's Catholic School for Girls. It starts at 6:30. You'd better not be late. I expect high grades."
"Yes, Grandmother." Crap, what am I gonna do?
So, who's excited for December? :D What's in December, you ask? The reboot, of course! XD I'm so excited! I just can't hide it! I should stop, shouldn't I? Lol check out the info at MoonKitty(.net)! Well, this one was a little shorter, but that's because I don't wanna cram too much into one. And plus, it's the second chapter today :D I said the writing would kick up when she got to Kyoto, didn't I? I might start chapter seven :3 But it's also 2 am, and I have to wake at 7 and play volleyball :( I really wanna right now! It's kicking! I wanna introduce the two people! They're so awesome! PLEASE READ HERE: Also, tell me what you think about the homosexuality between them!
