Sailor Moon:A New Moon Author's notes: As you may have noticed my stories ussualy surround Usagi and that's because I find it easier to find subject matter to discuss when she's the main focuss. The following stories we'll follow both Usagi's and the other scouts actions at the same time. Comments can be sent to: CyansSwd@aol.com. Ch.1 Awakening ++++++++++ Usagi stood there watching the upcoming cart and it's occupants. She was a little bewildered at the way they were dreassed,Wearing what looked like pants with a shirt and vest. One obviusly supperior in someway wore a golden meddalion around his neck, but Usagi was to confused to bring it up with them. Instead she simply asked "Who are you? What do you want with me?" "What we want is for you to get off my property, wench!" screamed the man without the maddalion. "Calm down Hari, just calm down. Now then miss what's your name?" Usagi stood their staring at them. What should she say? These people obviusly weren't normal and from the looks of the scenery she wasn't home anymore.'can't tell them my name! What if they ask where I'm from next? What should I do?' "I don't know!" "You don't remember your name?" 'Did I just say that outloud? Wait this could work for me!' "That's right I can't seem to remember anything!" "Hmm. Why don't you come with me." "But what about my land!?" complained the other man "There's no damage and she didn't do anything to you so there's nothing to repay."The meddalion wearing man responded. "Umm...before I go anywhere...could someone tell me where I am and who you guys are?" "Whaa...oh yes certainly I'm Corrin Toma, Mayor of the town of Holbrook, and that's Hari al'kove a farmer whose land you happen to be on. And your in the village of Holbrook in Cresentty, one of the few remaining free towns left." "Uhhh...O.K. whatever...let's go."she replied. ++++++++++ Ray was almost at Darian's appartment when the moon reached it's zeneath. The scouts had left the crying parents when their own parents called wondering where they were. Ray's grandpa was busy trying to teach Chad how to meditate so Ray wouldn't have to be back 'till late tomarrow. She decided to check up on Darian to see how he was doing with all of this. As she approched his appartment she began to feel as she always did around him...wishful. Darian sat in his appartment staring as he had been for the last 30 minuettes at his new pendant. It was Usagi's final gift to him and he wouldn't even have the oppertunity to thank her. 'I'm sorry Usagi. I'm so sorry, for everything!' he went back to staring at the pendant when he heard a knock at the door. He went to open it wishing beyond hope Usagi was at the other end but knowing it would never be her again. He was slightly surprised to see Ray at the other end at this time of night. He let her in and took a seat on the couch. He prepared for her to yell at him, to scream at him, but he wasn't prepared for what she did....she hugged him. He found himself crying on her comforting shoulder before he could stop himself. When he finally got himself together he was still crying but could talk enough to appologize to her and try to regain some shred of his dignaty. What he ended up saying, however was no where along those lines, "I didn't mean it. It was supposed to keep her safe! Now I've lost the only person who ever really loved me!!" "I love you."said Ray. She sat there staring at him, hopeing to find some sign he heard her and shared her feelings. Darian sat there not quite sure how to respond. He knew he liked Ray a lot but he still loved Usagi. He didn't care! right then he kneeded to love someone and have them love him back. He made the only responce he could think of and kissed her just as he used to kiss Usagi before the ordeal with the dreams. Ray kissed back as though she were kissing the man of her dreams, which in all reality she was. ++++++++++ MUCH later Lita was at the front door to the Tsukino house with Usagi's parents. She stayed later since she didn't have any parents to worry about. She really felt for everbody since she knew what it was like to lose someone really close to you suddenly. She offered as much consolation as she could but eventually they began to doze off and asked if she could leave. Not that she thought they were acctually sleepy, she had done the same trick with her Uncle when her parents died, but this means they wanted to be alone in earnest right now. She left them with a question to answer: Do you want to tell the world about Sailor Moon? She assured them that whatever their answer the scouts would support them. By now it was early the next morning as Lita was walking home. She spotted Ken at the Crown Game Center and went over to talk to him, "Hey Ken, what are you doing up this early?" "What oh, hi Lita! I could ask you the same thing. I'm getting ready for the oppening early because we have a new Sailor Moon VIdeo game I've gotta set up. Lita why don't you bring Usagi over to try it out.. Lita? Lita what's wrong?"he said while only now really waking up. "Ken there's something I have to tell you but it's going to have to wait 'till your shifts over. Come to my appartment for dinner at about 6:00. Thanks." and with that a depressed Lita set off to get ready for school. ++++++++++ At school Ms. Haruna was taking role-call, blissfully unaware yet of the fate which has befallen Usagi. "Usagi. (a moments pause) late again! That's another detention for her!" she said obviously not in a good mood. Now it was Amy's turn to tell someone about Usagi on her own. before she could, however, Ms. H. said, "All right class everyone read pages 123-126 in your science books AND DON'T FORGET TO TAKE NOTES!" When she sat down Amy took the opportunity to stand up. She walked over to Ms. H. and prepared for the worst, or so she hoped, "Ms. Haruna, I need to talk to you about Usagi." "Well you are her friend, maybe you can get her to wake up on time." "I don't think that's going to be a problem." Amy said "And why's that? Have you tried something allready?"Ms. H. responded "I'm afraid Usagi...passed away last night."Amy answered the grief obvious on her face. "Wha...what Happened?!" Ms. H. finnally managed to stutter. "She died in a Youma attack." Amy answered, unfortunately Melvin was sitting near them (in the front row, anyone surprised?) and chose that moment to blurt everything out in total shock, "Usagi DIED in a Youma attack last night?!! Oh my gosh poor Usagi!!" "WHATTT?!?!?!?!?!?"screamed the whole class. Amy sighed and prepared to do what she most of all didn't want to have to do, lie to the whole class in a way that say's she died but doesnt say wheather or not she's Sailor Moon. That was the parents decision, not hers. ++++++++++ Hi again. I know it's short but I'm making it up as I go so it's not easy! (you try writing this when you have a Nazi* teacher giving you a five page report and visual project due in one week with no in class time! Anyone Know anything about Diocletion, Emperor of Rome? *not that all nizi's are bad!:> (evil grin) 'Crazy, Crazy? I was Crazy once!' my sister (yes she really did say that:>) RedRose CyansSwd@aol.com
