Disclaimer: I, of course don't own Sailor Moon. That belongs to Ms. Takeuchi among others.

This is my first fic ever based on an anime series. I hope you like it you guys. But if you don't that's OK. Tell me if you like it or not. This story is obviously about Mars and Jadeite because personally, I think they would have made a nice couple if Naoko-sama actually made it happen instead of just drawing a picture. But then again, like they all say sometimes.... A picture is worth thousand words.

This is of course based on the manga and has some elements of Manga #1 in it.

Forgotten Elysion


There she was. It was just a glimpse but it was her. He had never seen such beauty before. Beauty that tugged at his heart for reasons he did not know. Everytime he saw her, it was always just for a brief second. He badly wanted to just run after her and just talk to her, hear her voice... But he knew he could never do that. He had a duty to do and he was not about to get distracted. But that girl... the girl he would see for those brief instances seemed so familiar.... He knew her but he did not.

"Jadeite, I did not make you in charge with you just sitting around all day." A harsh voice called for him. It surprised him so much so, that he almost dropped his tea cup.

"Annoying Bitch. She needs to take a Midol," he said under his breath, disappearing from the cafe and appearing back in Beryl's realm.

"You said something Jadeite?" Beryl demanded when he appeared before her.

"N-n-nothing." Jadeite managed to stutter. "I wasn't doing anything but looking for that crystal, my Queen. I think I'm on to something anyway. I can feel it."

Nephrite came up behind him and bowed to Beryl. "My Queen, please let me take over. I want to be the one in charge. All of Jadeite's soldiers are made of clay. They can all be easily defeated. I can do better. Let me do it."

"No. I can do this, my Queen. Please let me."

Beryl thought it over. "I hope you're right this time around. I'm getting tired of your failures."

"Don't worry my Queen. I can do it."

*************

Again, he found himself at the cafe and decided to head down to where that girl was heading. A bunch of teenage girls were also heading that same way and he decided to follow them discreetly. He mainly followed two girls. One with short blue hair and the other one with weird looking blond pig tails.

"Strange..." Jadiete said to himself. "This feeling. I don't know why... but this feeling." He shook his head. He had never seen these two in his entire life but it seemed he did. He shook his head again, realizing what he needed to do. "I wonder where that damn ginzuishou is. Beryl's gonna start spitting out fire, if I don't find it soon. That Bitch."

There was a slight breeze in the air as he kept following the two girls. He watched the strange looking blond haired one bow to the girl with the blue hair and went inside a bus. "Strange..." he said again, watching the bus speed away.

The bus stop was near a large Shinto temple. There were all kinds of activity there and he decided to check it out. There were many girls there that had the same uniform on as that one girl he had seen earlier." Maybe she's here", he thought. "But I'm usually not that lucky."

He stood in the middle of the temple's courtyard and looked around. The soft pink leaves of the cherry blossom trees were blowing in the wind and some had caught up in his hair and on his shirt.

"The blossoms are attracted to you..." said a soft voice behind him. He turned around slowly, a bit startled. He wasn't expecting anyone to talk to him.

"What?" he asked. He was shocked all of a sudden. The cherry blossoms had caught his attention and he had almost forgotten what his main intention was again. But as he looked at the owner of the voice, he was even more shocked... After all this time, it was finally her. The girl he had admired from a distance was standing right before him. She was dressed as a miko with a broom in one hand. Her long light violet hair also blowing in the wind.

The girl laughed a little. He knew she could sense his light uneasiness. "The cherry blossoms," she repeated. "You have some tangled up in your hair."

"A...A..ara," he said, running his hands through his short blond hair. The blossoms falling on the ground.

Again the girl laughed. "I see a lot of people here, but so far you're the only man to visit this place for a while. You look confused. But don't worry, you'll find your way." She turned away from him, sweeping the broom from side to side as she walked.

"Jadeite, what are you doing now? Get back here this instant!"

"Damn." He thought. "She always has to call me at times like these." He did not want to leave so soon but it was his Queen after all. He looked around to see if anyone was watching him and quickly disappeared.

The girl stopped sweeping. "Strange," she said to herself. "I feel like I know that man for some reason." She turned around to look at him once more but he was already gone. "Hmmm... but he left so quickly. .." She shook her head. "It doesn't matter anyway."

Jadeite was back in the Dark Kingdom. Beryl was, to surprise, disappointed by his work. "Don't get distracted, Jadeite. Do as I say before it's too late."

He turned his hands into fists and bowed to her. "I'm sorry Queen Beryl. Just give me a few days. I already have a plan. I know what to do."

"I'm loosing my patience."

"Don't worry, I have it under control." Jadeite disappeared quickly, going back to where the Hikawa Jinja was, watching kids line up for the bus.

The shrine was pretty much empty of people from earlier before and the only one left was the girl with the blue hair who was sitting and reading a book in one of the wooden benches.

"Mizuno-san, I found just the book for you..." It was that girl again...

"Arigato, Hino-san. It's perfect."

Jadeite watched the girl named Mizuno go down the steps and waited for the 6 o'clock bus. She didn't even notice him when she passed him. The girl with the violet hair looked at his direction and approached him. "You are back again." She bowed a hello. "What can I do for you..." she asked, searching for his name.

"S-Suzuki Ikuto" he answered.

"Suzuki-san, Konnishiwa"

Jadeite hung on her every word. She really was beautiful. He wanted desperately to see her smile at him because despite her friendly acknowledgment, she seemed somewhat distant. Everytime he stepped forward, she stepped back ~hiding the fact with her sweeping. He bowed to her. "I just came to admire this Shrine. It's beautiful."

She looked at him oddly. "There are temples like this everywhere."

"Yes, but yours is different..." He looked down at his feet, afraid his question might offend her. "May I ask for your name?"

"Hino Rei," she said quickly, continuing on with her sweeping.

"Your shrine is different, Hino-san. I came from somewhere far away and nothing like this exists there... But for some reason, your shrine and... and... maybe even you remind me of where I used to live a long time ago."

She looked up at him suddenly. Jadeite couldn't believe he actually said that out loud. It wasn't like him to be open. It wasn't even in his character to say such things.

"Why would I remind you of that, if you don't even know me?"
"You're right. Gomen nasai, Hino-san."

"But it's nothing for you to apologize about though." She put her broom away and walked closer to him. "Do you want me to show you around?"

Jadeite nodded. Her voice... the way she moved, the way she did the little things... it was so familiar. Maybe it was this girl who possessed that ginzuishou.

"Can I ask you something, Suzuki-san?"

"Please, just call me Ikuto."

"Ikuto-san, where are you from?" Jadeite looked a little surprised by her question. He was following her around the temple's courtyard as she explained a somewhat short history of the shrine. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I perfectly understand."
"I don't remember much... it was a long time ago.. I really remember nothing... just that it was beautiful, just like this place... until something happened. .. but I don't quite know what." He looked away. What was he saying? Why was he telling his real thoughts and feelings out to someone? No one had ever asked about his "home" before. A beautiful place? Where was that? The Dark Kingdom was certainly not what you call beautiful.

"Is there something wrong, Ikuto-san?"

Jadeite looked at her. "It's nothing," he said. "Listen, Hino-san, would you like to join me for tea one day?"

The girl looked surprised. She picked up her



broom again and started sweeping. "I...I can't. Gomen nasai.," she said softly.

"I understand. I'm sorry to have asked.." he said, disappointed.

"Don't be. It's just that... that something happened a long time ago and I just can't." She said looking away.

"Hino-san, I understand. You and I don't know each other anyway. You will probably not like me when you get to know me." Jadeite gave her a sad smile. "I'll be going. Thank you for showing me around." He descended down the stone steps but stopped in the middle. He heard another voice in the courtyard.

"Who was that you were talking to Rei? He seemed like a nice young man."

"You say that to all the young men who come here, Grandpa."

"And none of them interest you?"

"You know I don't have any interest in them, Grandpa."...Jadeite turned to leave. "But you know what? I have a strange feeling about him."

"Is it good or bad?"

"Both I guess. But I guess I'm just strange."

Jadeite continued walking down the stairs and when the wind turned in different directions, he disappeared.
