Hello minna-chan. This is my second fanfic that I have written and my
first one was called "Sweet Serenity", which I am trying to find so I
can post it. It was okay for the first fanfic. Well this story takes
place three years after the last episode of Sailor Moon. Everyone
would be eighteen and graduated from high school. As you notice that I
have used the Japanese names which is much nicer than the NA names at
least IMHO. Well tell me what you think and email me at
neene96@yahoo.com. Or check out my
website(http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/main2.html)

Okay remember that Sailor Moon does not belong to me nor do I claim
that it does. It belongs to Naoko Takeushi and Kodansha and all these
nameless people in business suits. So please don't sue me.

Destiny's Child

"Nothing gets in the way of Destiny." If you would have asked me that
five years ago if I believed in that saying, I would have said yes.
Back then I was only eighteen, filled with all these romantic notions
about marrying the man I was destined to be with and becoming the
Queen of Tokyo. The whole fairy tale scheme plus the happily ever
after in the end. Nothing would have ever made me think otherwise.
Everything was layed out for me long before I was reborn. How could I
not follow destiny's lead. I was already shown my future self as well
as my future daughter. Now you see how I would never doubt that
destiny would always have its way with me. My beautiful future was set
and would be fulfilled in time and all I had to do was wait. But what
I wasn't counting on was the fact that my future was never cemented,
only wet for the time being. And so starts the story on how I Tsukino
Usagi changed my destiny and the future of Tokyo.

It was one of does beautiful spring days after graduation. The kind of
days where it was such a nice day that you can't help, but expect
everything to be perfect. I was thinking of all the days I can finally
catch up on shopping and hanging out with Rei, Makoto, Ami, Mina and
especially my Mamo-chan. I never knew I was setting myself up for a
big fall.

I made my way to Hikawa Shrine, laughing and thinking how surprised
Rei was going to be when she sees how I was one of the first people
there. As I made my way up the steps towards the shrine, I shivered as
an unexpected cold breeze blew. I was wearing a short sleeve dress
which was a present from some faceless relatives in Hokaido and it did
not help in protecting me from the air nor the dreadful feeling that
suddenly erupted from my heart. I should have taken that as an omen,
but I ignored it and thought of nothing else, but the shopping trip to
the expensive Shibuya district.

The first thing that was strange as I entered the shrine grounds was
the absence of its occupants. Yuuichiro wasn't doing his endless
sweeping, ojii-san wasn't running up to greet any of his potential
visitors and Rei wasn't busy yelling at both of them. I suddenly
remembered a passage from a play we had to read in my Classical Lit
class. "Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark," or at least here
in the shrine grounds. I laughed at my own genius, too bad I could not
remember which play that saying was from. I decide to question
Ami-chan on it later and I made my way into the shrine to look for Rei.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, Rei and I are very close friends.
Almost like sisters, which Rei would argue against if anyone mentioned
it, unless we were alone. My times alone with Rei after our senshi
meetings were spent mostly talking about everything from boys to
family. I never told anyone about our little talks, since I always
felt like I was given a piece of Rei's soul and after each talk I
would be stuck trying to piece everything together so that I may see
the whole picture of Rei Hino. I have known her for four years and I
sometimes feel like I have learned so little about her. But that's an
understatement. I know more about Rei Hino than anyone else in the
world. I know her great love and hate for the father who has abandoned
her to pursue his political career after her mother died. I know how
she has ran away constantly as a child to be with her father, only to
be told to go home by his secretaries and finally by him personally. I
have learned what she loves, hates, and desires. But the greatest
knowledge I have gained from her, was that she trusted me with all
these little secrets. So I have always known that if I could trust
anyone with anything, it was my sister Rei Hino.

I knocked at the front door only to find it slightly open.
"Rei-chan," I called out, and was promptly answered with complete
silence.
I decided to go inside and promptly planned on scaring the sacred fire
out of her. As I snuck inside I nearly slipped and fell over something
that was on the floor. I picked it up and found it to be a green
sports jacket. There was a strange familiarity to it, but I set it
aside and began to concentrate at the mission on hand. Quietly I snuck
down the hall towards her room, crawling and pretending to be a secret
agent when a loud thump made my stand as still as a statue. Silence
followed and I continued on my way. Rei's door was slightly ajar and
buy the thumping noise which suddenly resumed I knew she was there. I
giggled silently and began to picture her face when I jump in and
scared little miss I-would-never-be-scared-by-anything. The thumping
sound stopped again and was suddenly accompanied by a muffled laugh or
something that sounded like that. I never thought twice about the
sounds and now that I looked back at it, maybe I should have. I slowly
opened the door and without even looking I jumped inside screaming
"FIRE" at the top of my lungs when I was faced with a scene out of a
nightmare.

I blinked twice to see if perhaps I was just seeing things, but the
scene never wavered. Ami-chan once told me about how some people can
get something called a flashbulb memory. It was where something
happend that was so traumatic happend right in front of person that
they get the scene burned right into their memory and they will
remember everything in detail for the rest of their lives. I thought
that was absolutely ludicrous since when something really bad happens,
I learned people would block out the memory. But again Ami-chan has
proven me wrong since I can remember every detail of the scene that
unfolded in front of me.

Rei was sitting up right in her bed, clearly surprised because of the
angry look on her face which suddenly changed into a complete look of
shock. She had hastily covered up her body which I can clearly see was
naked from the brief glimpse when I first entered. Next to her wearing
a mask of equal shock was none other than my Mamo-chan. He had also
grabbed at bedding so that he may cover himself up also. Not that I
didn't know what he looked like underneath, when I had my first
experiance with him months ago.

I can never clearly remember what I said to them, but at that moment I
felt a cold knife enter my heart. Both of them might as well have
stabbed me with it because I felt the cold fingers of betrayal pass
its hands through my heart followed by firey flames of anger which
were both blown away by rushing water of pain and sadness. I felt my
heart float on the sea of pain and I slowly felt it begin to sink and
then begin to drown. I suddenly saw blinking stars appear at the edge
of my vision and I gasped for air as I suddenly realized I had
forgotten to breath.
"Kami-sama," I whispered as I slowly began to back away from them,
"Please help me."
Mamoru had suddenly gotten up and ran towards me.
"Usako, please wait," he began as he tried to explain himself to me.
I suddenly felt something I never thought I would feel towards any
living creature. Not even when I was fighting Beryl, Wiseman, Pharoah
9 or Galaxia did I ever feel such blind anger, hatred and jealousy.
All were completely foreign to me and I reveled in the comforting
embrace it gave me. I think Mamoru must have felt it since he suddenly
stopped and began to back away from me. I felt the crescent moon form
on my head as well as the power of the Ginzishou wash over my body. I
screamed with rage and felt the power of the Ginzishou erupt around me
in a white column of flame which caught Mamoru and threw him at the
wall with a sickening thud. I turned towards Rei who had gone to
Mamoru's side. She watched me with a look of fear that has been an
unknown look on her lovely face.

At that moment I felt something which scared the hell out of me. I
wanted to kill her. I wanted to burn her slowly so that she may feel
the pain in my heart. For destroying my future and my life. I wanted
to kill her for taking my Mamoru away. I wanted to watch her die
slowly for betraying me, for lying to me, for sleeping with Mamoru. I
wanted her dead so that the pain in my heart would stop. So that
perhaps I can live my life normally and forget about all that I have
seen.
As I glared at her and looked into her red eyes, I realized that she
knew what was to happen and she was prepared to embrace death. Rei
knew what has just happend and was ready to accept the consequences. I
raised my hand and pointed it at both of them, my white flames rose
higher. I suddenly saw Mamoru slowly awake and sluggishly take Rei's
hand into his. The two were prepared to die, both were ready to take
the punishment of my anger, but I felt that neither was afraid of
death as long as they died together. My resolved suddenly shattered
and I felt a sob escape my lips at the sight of the two. It was then
that the rest of the senshi came in transformed.

They took one look at me and all did the double take on the nude
Mamoru and Rei cowering on the corner. It was Mercury who asked the
question that was brewing in their minds.
"What the hell is going on," she demanded.

Okay I know this may be a lame ending, but this is where I have to
consider what to write next. Well please send any flames or comments
