On with the fanfic now:
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer:  Of course none of these characters are mine.  I mean, it would
be nice to own a few of them, but I'm just gladder that I don't own some.
Well, anyone, don't sue or anything.  I just wrote this 'cause I have no
life
and have nothing better to do.  I'm just borrowing these character.

Author's Note: First fan/fic ever.  So if it sucks, keep in mind that this
IS
the first fan/fic I've ever written.  It takes place way later after Galaxia
and all in the Moon Kingdom.  Usagi's Neo-Queen Serenity, and she's married.
Chibi-Usa's her daughter now.  Japanese names.  I don't know how Pluto
guards
the Gates of Time and whatever, so basically, I didn't go into too much
depth
on how she guards it.  But if it's not accurate, well, too bad.  Someone
should have told me sooner.  Uh, anything else?um?not really.  Enjoy the
fan/fic.  I got new attacks for a lot of the people, although some old
attacks are used.  New transformations, too.  Galaxia's back to good.  I
know
that Chaos is supposed to be the embodiment of all evil and evil everywhere,
but I changed that a little in here.  I won't say anything else, or it'll
spoil it all.  But just remember that Chaos is NOT the embodiment of all
evil
in this fan/fic.  And the main character is Setsuna/Sailor Pluto.  If you
hate her guts - don't read it.  Wait, I take that back.  If you hate her,
well this story is practically entirely about her and is told from HER point
of view basically.  But still, you might actually want to read this.  It's
about her, but even for Pluto/Setsuna-haters, they might actually end up
liking this one.

Chapter 1 - Torn

Setsuna gripped her staff tightly and brushed back a stray strand of her
long, emerald green hair.  She sighed as she listlessly watched the Gates of
Time, her isolated and dreary task.  At times, this weary job almost made
her
feel ill towards Queen Serenity and her daughter Serenity who had forced her
to stand and guard the dreaded Gates and took away all chances she had of a
normal life.  The very rare occasions in which she was able to escape the
Gates had been treasured memories, but one of those refreshing opportunities
hadn't appeared in centuries.  It had been centuries since the Negaverse,
Galaxia, Nephrenia, Black Moon Family, Pharaoh 90, and all the others who
had
come to try unsuccessfully to take over the moon or universe.  Now, she was
back in her centuries old job as Keeper of the Gates of Time.
        Yawning, her mind wandered.  To where it always landed?the forbidden
topic she carefully concealed within her mind and guarded with utter care so
that no one would know.  It was a topic that flourished in her mind alone, a
mind she never shared with anyone.  Even the ones she outwardly showed she
loved, such as Chibi-Usa, knew little of the mysterious mind hidden under
the
mass of her dark green tresses.  And the hidden secrets and dreams and hopes
buried within it?
        Yes, his face resurfaced.  Those probing dark eyes and dark hair,
his
light that attracted her so much.  His voice?everything about him.  But
besides him stood his wife, his wife whom she loved and hated so much.  Just
the sight of the elegant figure drove her mad.  Part of her loved her and
respected her as a subject and dear friend should, but the other half HATED
her with a vengeance.  It was HER who had kept her away from having a normal
life.  It was HER who stole away the one man she loved.  But, Setsuna remind
herself, their destiny together had been long decided.  And destiny had to
be
obeyed, the one thing pounded over and over into her head as the Keeper.  It
was her duty to make sure the future stayed as planned.  She had battled so
many years to let destiny come as it should, for a good future.  She had
denied everything in life for this.  Centuries later, she stood isolated and
alone, as she always would, living one monotone day after another, painfully
guarding the Gates and searching with her large, scarlet eyes for enemies or
anyone who marred the perfect serenity of Time and attempted to corrupt it.
Any evil?but Evil hadn't shown up.  Evil had vanished for centuries.  All
that surrounded her was silence?dead silence and calm.  Perhaps some longed
for such peace and calm, but Setsuna had long wearied of it and despised it.
        "Puu?" A girl's happy voice interrupted her deep thoughts.
        "Oh, hello, Small Lady!" Setsuna quickly smiled at the pink-haired
child giggling and dashing towards her, elegantly dressed in a dress Setsuna
recognized immediately as one she had designed for her.  This vivacious girl
too, brought mad confusion.  Chibi-Usa, or Small Lady, was such a darling
creature, one that had even warmed and captured a heart as cold as Setsuna.
Setsuna loved few people, and few truly touched her heart.  Though Small
Lady
often could be rather difficult, she had a charm that made her so
irresistible and charming.  But she was the result of the passionate and
enduring love of the woman who stole her one true love and her life.
        "Is something wrong?" Chibi-Usa looked at Setsuna strangely and
rather worriedly.
        Realizing she was staring peculiarly at Chibi-Usa, Setsuna shook her
head and murmured glibly, "I was observing how beautiful you are growing to
become!"
        Chibi-Usa smiled happily.  "I just want to be as beautiful as Mom!
Maybe even more so!" she smiled.
        "I'm sure you will be.  Don't worry," Setsuna said warmly,
affectionately patting the small head of Chibi-Usa.
        "Maybe I will even be as lovely as you!" laughed Chibi-Usa.
        Setsuna blushed and said, "You already are!"
        "No!  Even mom's not as pretty as you," declared Chibi-Usa.

The 2nd Author's Note:  Yeah, I know this one was short.  Maybe even boring.
Keep reading.  The rest'll get better.  And I know I made Chibi-Usa much
less
bratty and whiney than she usually is.  Who knows?  Maybe she *gasp* matured
with age. ^_^ (no offense to fans of Chibi-Usa.  I accept the fact that
there
are crazy people out there.  J/k!!!)
