I HAD THIS ALL WRITEN OUT! *Then* it was deleted, stupid
computer... I might as well try to put this out; I have so
many ideas swimming around my head that I don't have
enough time to write all of them. Enjoy the story.
P.S. I don't own DBZ or SM, goes for all chapters.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
A young girl stood in the center of a magical fog.
She shivered as a cool breeze swept across her face,
drenched from sweat. As she concentrated on her eerie
surroundings, she squinted her eyes trying to see through
the dense fog, but it was no use. She pricked her ears to
listen for any sounds. She stretched out her ki, feeling
for any other signatures. She felt the faint pulse of
another, but the mist limited it. The signature felt so
familiar and yet foreign at the same time.
She could hear the faint footsteps of a person-heading
strait for her. Her body stiffened, as she was suddenly
able to hear the movement. Apparently this person was
unaffected by the magic lingering in the air, because he
still came strait for her.
At the edge of her vision, a shadow formed. She
swiveled her body to the outline of the man. Her breathing
grew labored as she realized she must take the risk, she had
to find out who this person was.
"Who are you?" To her shock the man stepped clear of
the fog and stopped directly in front of her. The
black-haired man lifted his arms to embrace her and...
She woke up.
Usagi hit her pillow in annoyance. She had been
having the same dream ever since she defeated Galexia,
but she never found out what it had meant. Several things
had happened since she had defeated Galexia. For one,
she was starting to show her true self. Yes, she was
ditzy, but she had purposely exaggerated it. Now she
showed that she really was more responsible than what
everyone thought.
She focused her eyes on the pale pink ceiling of her
room as she sighed. There were so many things going on her
life. Usagi held her left hand above her face to once
more exam the ring that now graced her finger. She was
engaged to her Mamo-chan, and she was delighted that he
still wanted her. He was away at college, and he made it
this time. Usagi had been able to use the Ginzitshou to
change everyone's memory. They all believed that Mamoru
had been in the hospital for the past several months and
was now able to resume his daily activities. The only
people who knew about it were the senshi, and of course,
Mamoru and herself.
She sighed as she thought about the things that she
hadn't been telling her fellow senshi. She had been in
direct contact with Queen Serenity ever since her identity
as Princess Serenity had been discovered. The other senshi
didn't know that. They also thought that she couldn't fight,
boy were they wrong. For the past two years she had been
training with a man that her mother had appointed to teach
her the art of ki-jitsou. He hadn't been around recently,
but that didn't bother her.
Usagi clenched her hands into fists as she became
frustrated. She needed to concentrate on her dream; she
couldn't give in to other distractions. She drew up a blank,
but she did remember one important thing. In all of her
previous dreams, the man had disappeared whenever she had
asked who he was. This time, he showed him her face and
started to lift his arms...
'Shimatta.' She slammed her fists into her mattress.
She couldn't remember much about her dream and she was
itching to find out what it meant. The man that appeared
in her reoccurring dreams some how seemed important to her,
and yet, she couldn't place her finger on it.
Usagi groaned and rubbed her eyes. If she couldn't go
back to sleep, than at least she could go train for a
while. She tossed her legs over the side of her bed and
dug her toes into the plush carpeting. She didn't want to
leave the warm confines of her bed, but she did after one
more minute of clinging to the warmth of her cover.
She picked up her golden broach and placed it on her
pajama shirt. Then she briefly held her hands over her heart,
as if she were praying or making a wish. Bright white light
engulfed her, swallowing her hole and leaving the room lit
even in the darkest corners. Ribbons instantaneously covered
her body, forming into clothing. When the light left, Usagi
was left wearing a new outfit. She only wore it when she was
going to be sparring, and it was another of those secrets
she hadn't told anyone about.
Usagi twirled around momentarily, wondering how it was
that the outfit stayed so clean. She wore a matching pair
of pants and shirt, which were made of a silver material
and had golden threads laced through it, a golden short
sleeved shirt, a gold sash, gold wristbands and a white pair
of Saiyan boots.
After twirling, she dashed over to her dresser to make
sure that her hair was put up out of her way. Usually the
transformation did her hair too, but she didn't want to risk
it being pulled out by the roots. She turned her head from
side to side, seeing that it had all been wound into two
large buns. She really did look like an Odango Atama with
her hair the way it was.
Usagi, now completely ready to go, placed two fingers
upon her broach. She thought of her destination and within
seconds, she was there. From what she was told, she basically
performed an instant transmission technique that the broach
accomplished for her.
She looked around the room she was in, and smiled out
of familiarity. The room she now stood in was one of the
few remaining training rooms that survived the attack on
the Moon Kingdom. This was where she came to train whenever
she could. She would only stay for a few hours, even
though it felt longer. She was beginning to think that the
room had the ability to manipulate time too, because one
time she could have sworn that her friends were going to
question why she was missing for so long. She knew for a
fact though that the room could change temperature, density,
and gravity.
Usagi sighed once more as she began her stretches.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
Usagi groaned and rolled over as bright rays of sunshine
hit her face. She had come home late last night, and was
unsure if her sore body could get up. The scent of freshly
made pancakes drifted into her room and she bolted up in
bed. Who cared about a sore body when there was delicious
food downstairs?
She quickly put on a comfortable outfit and made her
way downstairs. There, on the table laid three presents and
a huge stack of pancakes. Wait, presents? Usagi smacked her
forehead as she recalled today was her birthday, the day she
*always* looked forward to.
Usagi sat down at the table and began to scarf down
syrup drenched pancakes, regardless of her mother telling
her to slow down a little. Ikuko shook her head and sat down
at the table to eat.
Kenji lowered his newspaper as Usagi finished, and
looked over to his wife. She gave him a questioning look
and he nodded in confirmation. Ikuko put on a strained
smile as Usagi looked expectantly at the presents.
"You can open them now."
"YES!" She tore the wrapping paper off of the first
gift and unwrapped a small game of Sailor Moon. She grinned
at the irony of it and looked to her mother.
"Let me guess, Shingo?"
"He's over at a friends house right now, but he wanted
me to give that to you." Usagi picked up the second box and
carefully took off the beautiful silver paper. She opened up
the lid and dug through the tissue paper to find a beautiful
silver teddy. ^_~
"M-mom?" Ikuko giggled and shook her head.
"D-dad? No way!"
"Yes dear, it's from him." Usagi's eyes bugged out at
the realization that her father had actually gotten something
like THAT for her. Who'd have thought, ne?
Usagi unwrapped the last gift to find a small framed
photograph containing all of her family and friends. She
flipped the photo around to see a small note attached.
"For when you're away. Mother, what does that mean?"
Ikuko bit her lip as she prepared to tell the young girl
the truth.
"We're not your real parents. We have raised you since
you were a baby, but you are not ours. We have had great joy
in raising you, but it is time you met your real parents. We
do not know them personally, but we do know that they are
kind people."
"W-why did they give me away?" Usagi looked at Ikuko
questioningly, still trying to absorb the truth of her
predicament.
"They didn't, Queen Serenity told Pluto to bring you
here. Now before you start asking questions, yes, we do know
about ALL events that have occurred in the past two years.
Shingo doesn't know yet, but he will soon."
"I'd like to see his face when he finds out." Usagi
giggled as images of a shocked Shingo danced across her
imagination.
"We were told that we were once entrusted servants of
the Moon Kingdom, and that was why we were chosen to take
care of you. We were also told that one day you would have
to be told the truth, and that you were to go to Sailor
Pluto in order to see your parents."
"Do I have to?" Tears were beginning to streak Usagi's
cheeks as reality finally set in.
"I'm afraid so. You have to see them, even if you only
decide to stay for a short period of time. Now go pack."
Usagi dumbly nodded her head as she dragged her feet all
the way to her room. She packed all of her clothing, and
anything she deemed imported. She made sure to pack her
presents, several photographs, a stuffed bunny, and all of
her mangas. She then proceeded to put her luggage into her
dimensional pockets. When she was finished, she went back
downstairs.
Usagi hugged the only parents she had ever known, and
cried as good byes were said. She finally let go of her pain
and decided to see Sailor Pluto at the Gates of Time. She
pressed two fingers to her broach and she was instantly at
the Gates of Time and Space.
Usagi looked around her in search of her fellow senshi,
but to no avail. How in the world could anyone see through
all of the mist? There were thick clouds of fog, mist or
whatever they called it, and she was becoming annoyed. It
was then that she heard the faint clicking of boots on what
sounded like a tiled floor.
"Welcome princess." Usagi turned around and faced her
friend as the veil of fog parted, revealing her. Sailor
Pluto stood clad in her dark green senshi fuku, with her
staff in her right hand.
"Follow me, we must use the Dimensional Gates." Usagi
followed without protest, and was led down another misty
hallway. After a short while, they stopped in front of a
large set of doors.
"It would be wiser if you were in your princess form
during this journey. The first time through can drain
precious energy, especially if you are unused to it." Usagi
briefly wondered why she couldn't just transform, but
thought better of it and decided to do as she was told.
She closed her eyes and focused as the crystal on her
chest glowed brightly, bathing her in its purity. She
opened her eyes and looked down to make sure her
transformation was complete.
Pluto raised her staff and tapped the ground sharply
three times. The ornament on her staff pulsed red as the
gates confirmed her identity. The doors creaked open and
inside it was pitch black.
"Wait, before I go, how will I find my parents?" A
picture flashed in front of her briefly, showing three
people. Apparently it was her mother, father, and she was
assuming, her brother.
"Thank you." Usagi made her way to the door and gulped
down the fear that was building in her throat. She took the
step into the gate and felt herself spiraling downward in
an endless see of darkness. She grew dizzy and faint as up
and down no longer mattered, for she was constantly twisting
and turning. She felt herself grow weak as her stomach
fought to stay calm. Usagi was nearing the end of the tunnel
and she knew it. There was a bright light ahead and she
screamed as the intensity of it pierced the backs of her
dilated pupils.
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
The Z fighters were flying to Capsule Corp when they
heard a blood-curdling scream. They turned their attention
to the north where they saw a black hole appear out of
nowhere. The screams became louder as they saw a young girl
fall through the portal. Goku widened his eyes in terror as
he saw the girl plummeting towards the ground.
"We should help her." Before he could react, she had
righted herself and was floating upside down.
"Guess she doesn't need help." Piccolo stared at Goku
and wondered how he ever put up with him.
"Goku, we should see what she's doing here. That wasn't
exactly a normal entrance. And if I'm not mistaken, that was
a portal she just fell through." The group flew over while
Vegeta grumbled about silly girls.
Usagi turned herself upside right and looked at the
upcoming group. In the group she saw a familiar looking man
with spiky black hair. She felt happiness bubble around
heart. She flew over to the man and jumped into his arms.
