All mail goes to the address shown above. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Sailor Neptune. A long time ago, I was known as Kaiou Michiru. But that time has past and is too painful to remember. I guard Crystal Tokyo with my partner and serve the queen, Neo Queen Serenity. Haruka was the only one who saw and loved me for the way I am. She saw through me disuise of perfection. That Haruka is gone and what's left of her is the warrior of Uranus. Everyone sees me as perfect, a mere shadow of Sailor Uranus. Why wouldn't they? I'm talented, elegant, rich, and beautiful. Maybe that's what I want them to think. *** I was initiated as a Sailor Senshi when I was eleven. One year before I heard of Minako-chan's 'Sailor V.' My parents were wealthy and belonged to high society, always conscious of their image. They made sure my etiquette was perfect and taught me music and art, trained me to act like a lady. I was their little china doll for display. I went along with it, it was easier to act than to resist. After all, I've been acting all my life, it has become a mask I hide beneath. Rarely has anyone seen my true emotions. So when I was a senshi, I told all the right lies, feigned the right emotions at the right moments, and of course no one suspected anything. My parents enrolled me into an elite private school for girls. I was popular everywhere I went, school was no different. I didn't really have friends. Those shallow idiots just cared about their appearances and boys. I was like that too, before I became a senshi. But now I have more important things to do, like prevent the Silence. Well, I also tolerated the other girls too. Elza Gray may have been a friend. She was on the track team. Elza played an important role in my life, even though I wasn't close to her. School was too easy. High rankings on nationals and even higher exam scores. I didn't really care. Then, one day I met her. Haruka Ten'ou, a rising star in the racing world. I attended one of Elza's races because she talked me into it. I had found out that she was my partner through one of my dreams and we became fast friends. She was reluctant at first, afraid of giving up her normal life. But then that monster attack changed her mind. She found out that she loved me, and I loved her back. I was suprised. I didn't think anyone could love a person like me, always decieving. She already knew that I wasn't like I seemed to be and accepted that. People suspected our relationship, but was never sure, I was partially responsible for that. I had been hiding my emotions for so long, I couldn't remember how to show them. Also, I have never loved anyone, I didn't know how to react or what to do. But now that I have Haruka, I don't think I can lose her again. Wether it's a curse or blessing, my old habit of hiding comes out again. Being afraid is a sign of weakness, so I never show how I felt about her. I reacted the same way to the mission. To drop anything and everything to fufill it. Yes, I did feel sorry for the victims who played a part in it, but I held back. I had to keep reassuring myself and Haruka, "They are innocent, but sacrifices have to be made for world peace." We dropped out of our schools. My parents didn't know, I moved out a while ago. Haruka and I enrolled ourselves in Mugen Gakuen to investigate the enemy's headquarters. Then we met those young girls who call themselves the Sailor Team, with their leader, that Sailor Moon. Haruka thought they were cute, but they interfered with our strategy and we hated them for it. At that time, their powers were weak compared to ours. Now I wouldn't dare insult them, they proved themselves to us. Eventually, we recovered the Holy Grail and I recieved my Deep Aqua Mirror. The only future it showed me was the next enemy. The mission ended and Haruka and I left with our new daughter and friend, Hotaru and Setsuna. Hotaru, or shall I say, Sailor Saturn, was the key to the mission, but now almost helpless. We decided to raise her until she was back to her previous age. Six months later, Nephrenia attacked and the rest is history. Until we were granted our immortality. Then everything else changed. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
