First order of business: I've changed the name of this story from "The Beginning" to "Kyoto" :3

Next: I'm having a hard time figuring out what to write, so I just stopped, kinda. I'll be back once I get the words flowing again :D Shouldn't be long. I've got plenty of options to choose from ^_^

I was really nervous to put the last one out. I wasn't sure of the feedback, whether I would lose readers, if people would hate me for it, whatever. But, I finally got a real review! (The percentage, by the way, is about 1% -_-) Thanks, Jovian Sun! If I didn't get a real review, I don't know what I would've done XD But, you also asked just the two questions I've been a little... bad about. The ones I haven't quite figured out myself, but kinda knew a little bit about. I'll try to expand them. I'm trying to make my story seem as canon as is possible, but these two questions stump me ^^'

Also, I noticed your avatar is Gaian :D I'm Miss Moonie Girl, hit me up? ;) Also, I've made everyone on under Akira Chiba [laugh] :3 For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, you can go to this site, click the first option: "Gaia Dream Avatar". At the top, it should say Dream Avatar. There should be two avatars, in between says "Start", then three options below: "Dream Free", "Inventory tektek", and "Search Avatars". Click "Search Avatars", and in the box, put in "Akira Chiba" and click "Search". It should come up with a bunch of avatars. You can click on a single avatar to make it bigger. I did a bit for the wedding, too :3 It's not much of a spoiler, because everyone knows they're gonna get married in the end :3 I'll probably change the picture and title at that point ^_^ I'm gonna make Forever Flying's outfits available there, too.

[EDIT]: Actually, I'm not sure if I can even fit Forever Flying in here anymore. I kinda don't know how. I'm trying, I promise. It's just, my Fairy Tail story flows so much better T^T

So, your First Question: Why does Grandmother hate Usagi so much? She's the kind of person who relies a lot on image, and if you've got a granddaughter who fails tests, is really clumsy and lazy, a crybaby, and is really loud and obnoxious and childish, and you're as small-minded as she is, wouldn't you? I dunno, maybe I'm asking the wrong crowd, the ones who love an anime where a girl tells you to love everyone and fights for love and justice :3 Haha, I'm so weird XD Grandmother is renowned around the country of Japan. Almost everyone in business knows and respects her. And partially answer to your second question, I was thinking about having a side story (more like a flashback) where Grandmother holds a big party, and Mamoru is invited (remember how America liked his theory?) and Usagi attends it, and there's a happy moment in her life.

Second Question: How did Usagi not find a means of communication, ie Luna sending brief messages on the comm, sending the letter through Akira or Haru, etc.? Remember how I said Grandmother was powerful? She took away her magnetic phone card and took half of her wage leaving her with just enough to get food with. Why she didn't do it through Akira or Haruko... I'm still trying to come up with a good reason. Hm... don't hate me for this! Has anyone ever READ Twilight before? Even just the first book, anyone? If you have, you know how Edward's range is only a few miles radius, at best. That's like with the communicators. I know, they're magic, but come on, those questions are my Achilles Heel T^T [In Greek Mythology, you could kill the immortal hero Achilles (ah-KILL-eez) by driving something in between his heel and ankle :D I'm fascinated by Greek Mythology :3]

Also, if you could, you could refer to Setsuna's premonition in Chapter 2: The Talk, it might help a bit ^_^

I'm changing Akira and Haruko's start dates, if you will. They were supposed to have become senshi when they were 14. I'm changing it to 12, so they're even more experienced then our lovely V-chan :D Lol
