SailorStar9: Well, I'm rewriting and reposting this since after re-reading this fic, I realized that I can't use Urawa since Kai and Ami are kinda of official, so... oops? So this is Chapter 14 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 14: I'm Doing Me

"So why am I here?" Ami followed Minako and Makoto into their once resident meeting place, Rei's bedroom of the Hikawa Shrine.

"Where have you been?" the pig-tailed princess asked.

"Yeah Ames, where did you disappear to yesterday?" Makoto pressed.

Someplace where you guys could never find me. Ami thought disparagingly. "Back to Kanagawa, where I attended elementary." she answered as she realized the silence was getting overbearing as they stared at her.

"Hey Ami, are you ok?" Minako said looking at her strangely.

"Yes why?" Ami stared at Minako as if she had just grown three heads.

"You just look different, that's all." Usagi observed quietly.

"No she doesn't, Usagi." Makoto said dryly. "Geez, sometimes I think your head's still in the clouds."

Picking up on the undercurrents of another argument brewing, Ami stated, "If all you guys are going to do is argue, I would appreciate it if you did it far away from me." She stated matter-of-factly.

"Ami? What's gotten into you?" Minako asked as she drew closer to her blue haired friend pushing her face so close to Ami's their noses almost touched. "Usagi is right. Something about you has changed."

"Maybe there is and maybe there isn't. What is it to you?" Ami retorted, while clenching her fists.

"We are your friends, Ami," Usagi said softly "We care."

Ami held back a snort in disbelief, "Yes, and which friend would try and seduce Yuichiro whom Rei is dating I might add?" she glared frostily at Usagi. "Tell me why should I follow you when I was meant to lead? Answer me! And now you all know." She turned to the stunned Senshi, her rainbow-colored aura blazing. "So, therefore, I'm moving on and moving back to Kanagawa. I'm doing me now. I've decided to be selfish for once and putting myself in first place."

"What do you mean?" Minako frowned. "About you being meant to lead, instead of follow?"

"I am Isis, Pillar and Queen of Planet Cray, ruler of its clans, lands and oceans, and quite their very capable and confident leader." Ami stated plainly. "I am their past, present and future. And that's why I've made my choice. Rather than resign myself to my current fate, I choose to live my ultimate destiny."

"You're living your ultimate destiny?" Usagi scoffed. "Hah! You can't do that, you are my Senshi. Your job is to protect me. You can't leave if I tell you to stay."

"What are you doing to do, use the Ginzuishou to make me stay?" Ami met the blond princess head on. "Admit it, without your precious crystal, you're less than nothing, you're harmless and you know it."

"How dare you! I can strip you, you know! I can take everything! Your titles, your powers! Don't test me. I'm in charge here." With a backbone tempered by rage, Usagi flared up.

"I'd like to see you try." Ami shot back. "You may be the princess of the Silver Millennium, but you're no Queen of Earth. Need I remind you that you need Mamoru for that? And who's to say he even still wants you. As for my title, I was always a Queen, then and now. Planet Cray does not fall within the justification of the White Moon; my powers are my own, as is my rank, so your threats mean nothing to me. The rest of you might want to rethink your allegiance too." She addressed the other three Senshi. "Fact is, Usagi here considers her well-being above ours; she wants the security of a marriage and the thrill of a lover; if she can try to steal Yuichiro from Rei and keep it quiet from Mamoru, what's to say she can't do the same to the rest of you?"

And with that, Ami gave Usagi a bow, which she knew she did not deserve, and left everything behind.

Once Ami exited the Shrine, the girls turned to Usagi in shock and anger, Rei more of the latter than former.

"Is what Ami said true?" the quick-tempered priestess demanded, fire dancing in her eyes. "Did you try to steal Yuichiro?"

"So what if I did?" Usagi huffed. "Yuichiro can buy out an entire Usui Yoshiki apparel store, whereas Mamoru could only afford two measly mini-skirts. I'm the Moon Princess and I deserve to have the lifestyle I used to have on the Moon. If Mamoru can't give me what I want, then it's only fair that I find other ways to get what I deserve! And if I want Yuichiro for myself, then there's nothing you or Mamoru can do about it." she grinned maliciously at Rei. "All of you are supposed to give up everything and anything for my sake. Did you know that as Princess Serenity, I killed Ami's lover simply because he rejected me? Every single one of you is merely a means to an end; if I want Pluto to reset time just because I'm not happy, she'd better well do what I say."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
