4This is my first Sailor Moon fic. I hope you like it. Just a couple things I'd like to point out; 1- The maid's name has nothing to do with the character 'Akane' in Ranma. I just liked the sound of it.
2-This fic. takes place in the 30th century. 3- I will be translating all the japanese words that appere in this fic. The words with two or more meanings, I'll put an asterisk() on the meaning related to the story. Any words that are repeated will not be transleted.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or anything related to her. She belongs to Naoko Takeuchi-san. The only thing I own is Gaia and her sisters and the words for this fic.
CHAPTER 1
It was dark and cold, all the young girl could do was run. Run and not stop, because if she did "It" would get her. She stopped exhausted and stood there gasping for air. Then the girl fell to her knees and heard It panting as It caught up with her. She suddenly felt very hot and realized that it was It's breath hot and clammy on her neck. The stench rose and filled her nostrils; the
girl gagged in disgust. She slowly turned around expecting the worst. "It" was the Wise Man, her family's worst enemy. She screamed and suddenly heard a voice she knew and loved so much.
"Mommy!" she cried. "Where are you? Help me!"
"Small Lady, Small Lady, Small Lady." her mother's cries fade away.
Slowly opening her eyes, the girl looked around her bed room. It was big, for a 16 year old; the walls were decorated with posters of her favorite music band and of her favorite heroine and idol: Sailor Moon. The bed she was sleeping on, was queen size and a lavender vale was wrapped around the bed.
"Chiba Usagi, are you awake yet? You'll be late for school!" came the voice of her mother, Neo Queen Serenity.
It was Friday morning and on the far side of the left wall, the sun was peeking through the shades. Usagi got up and hugged her mother. The queen had long blonde hair tied in two buns at the top of her head, also on her head was a golden crown and she wore a white gown with long pink bows at the back.
"Oh Mom! I had the scariest dream ever." Usagi said "The Wise Man was chasing me and I called and called you, but you didn't help me."
"It's alright!" her mother said as she held her daughter in her arms. "Now, you better get dress. Ami won't be pleased if you're late." Serenity told her.
Usagi climbed out of bed and started to get dressed, in her high school uniform, a blue skirt and white blouse with a red bow on the front. She looked around her room for her favorite white shoes and finally found them under her bed.
A maid then came in while Usagi was brushing her long pink hair.
"Akane can you please help me with my hair?"
"Yes, of course, Small Lady." Akane answered. She tied Usagi's hair up in two bunny ear buns at the top of her head. When Akane was finished, Usagi had breakfast and left for school.
Ami is one of Serenity's friends and protector. A young woman with blue hair and eyes, she is very intelligent and friendly and is known as Sailor Mercury. She wears a blue sailor uniform to define her position. Ami had already started the days lesson when Usagi walked in the class room.
"Sorry, I'm late, Sensei." Usagi said as she sat down at her desk.
"It's quite all right, Usagi. Now please take out your chemistry manual and pay attention." Ami told her. A few kids in the room started to snicker, but Ami told them to settle down.
"Boy, you'd think they were never late for school." Usagi thought and the rest of the morning went well.
At the end of the day, Usagi ran home. As she ran, a young girl with black hair ran up to her. It was Hotaru, her best friend.
Like Ami is a Senshi, so is Hotaru. There are 8 Sailor Senshi protectors divided into two groups to protect the Royal Family and the kingdom: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are the "Outer Senshis"; Uranus and Neptune guard the outer reaches of the solar system; Pluto is the guardian of time and Hotaru represents Saturn, the senshi of silences and wears a purple sailor suit.
"Konishiwa, Usagi-chan." Hotaru said.
"Oh! Konishiwa Hotaru."
"Why are you running so fast?" Hotaru ask.
"Because Kasan and Tosan have a surprise for me after school!" said the exited princess.
As they reached the castle, a young woman in a red sailor suit approached the pair. It was Rei, also known as Sailor Mars.
Rei stopped them, saying "Whoa, not so fast you two, there's no fire! No need to run. Small Lady, your parents are waiting for you in the palace garden."
"Arigatoo, Rei-chan. I'll talk to you later, Hotaru-chan." Usagi said as she ran off, almost hitting one of the palace ornaments.
"That's what happens when you run too fast." sighed Rei to herself.
The surprise Usagi's parents had, was to go to the park with them. For her parents, being King and Queen, were very busy and hardly spend time with their daughter.
"Mom, come join me on the swings." Usagi called.
"I'd love to." her mother replied.
"And daddy, you push us." the teenager commanded. Her Father, King Endymion, is a tall man with dark hair. He wears a lavender tuxedo and looks very handsome.
"Your wish is my command." he replied, pushing the laughing girls, as they swung to and fro. After swinging and a game of frisbee, the family took a break. Usagi then told her parents about her nightmare.
"And then I called you, but you didn't answer me and the more I called, the more he would laugh."
"But the Wise Man's been dead for over seven years!" Endymion told her.
Usagi looked a bit sceptic, but didn't replie.
"Welcome back, Majesties." Minako greeted the royal family as they came through the palace doors. Minako has long blonde hair tied up with a red bow, she wears an orange sailor suit and is known as Sailor Venus.
"Did you have fun, Kiddo?" she asked Usagi.
"Yes, I did!" Usagi said between yawns.
"You can tell Minako all about it in the morning." Endymion said "It's high time you went to bed." Usagi agreed and went to bed. Sometime later her father came to check on her.
"Sleeping like a baby." Endimyon whispered to himself.
As he left the room, he was greeted by Haruka and Michiru.
"Endymion-sama, you must go to the queen immediately!" Haruka told him.
"Naze? What's the matter? Is she all right?" he asked worriedly.
"We don't know, she collapsed as soon as you left to check on Small Lady." Michiru answered. Haruka and Michiru also wear sailor suits; Haruka's suit is dark blue and Michiru's suit is a dark shade of aqua and are known as Sailor Uranus and Neptune.
Endymion ran off after hearing what Haruka and Michiru had said.
When he reached the royal bedroom, he notice a gathering of people. Makoto and Setsuna saw him approaching and told everyone to let him pass.
They too wear sailor suits; Makoto's suit is green, Setsuna's is black and they are known as Sailor Jupiter and Pluto.
As Endymion entered, Ami was talking with Luna, the queen's long time cat friend. Luna is a black cat, with a yellow crescent moon on her forehead.
Hearing the sound of foot steeps, Ami turned to see who was approaching. When she saw who it was, she bowed politely saying "Endymion-sama."
"Rise Ami, can you tell me what is wrong with her?" Endymion asked. Noticing the worried look on her king's face, Ami replied that Serenity was fine.
"She collapsed because of fatigue." she said. "and I think we should all go to bed too!"
Agreeing, Endymion went to the doors, opened them and announced that the queen was fine and that all should turn in. It was time to settle down for the night.
As the last lights went out, not far from the palace, on a cliff appeared 4 figures.
"Are you sure this dump is the place?" asked one of them.
"Hai. We will find the one named Sailor Moon and destroy her, she shall pay for the death of our dear sister Esumerodo." replied another.
