moonlight by: lady serenity chapter 1 The moonlight entered the cracks of the dark room, as a princess sat torn, as she was pulled away from the world, her desperate plea could be heard as she begged to be set free from all this imprisonment. She wanted to be with her love, with all her friends... She wanted to be found. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chiba Mamoru sat upright with sweat running down his face. He dreamed of his princess _again_. Must she haunt him for every day for his entire life? Yet he knew, that the only reason why he kept on living was _because_ of her. It was because of her that he thrived on life. It was because of her that he didn't feel alone. It was because of her that he felt some kind of hope. Yet what if he never finds her? That he won't be able to set her free? He didn't want those questions to come up in his mind, they were what he hoped would _never_ happen. NEVER. It frightened him to think that it might. He wiped the cold sweat off his face. He WILL find her. He WILL set her free. And when he does, he would never have to feel loneliness again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The aqua haired women stood with a violin in her hand, held up the bow elegantly and struck it against the violin ever so gracefully as a beautiful song adjacent from it. She closed her eyes, which was a deep ocean green color, and played on, knowing this song from the heart. This song she heard in her dreams. Dreams of her princess whom she was to set free, dreams of a kingdom that was destroyed, dreams of a kingdom that she will help build. The music began to go faster as her thoughts were light a turmoil. She was to find her princess, whom she was completely loyal to, even now, when she didn't even know her. She was to help her... to set her free. And how was she going to do that? How is she going to set her free? The music stopped as she opened her eyes. She looked around at the bleak empty room as her thoughts confused her deeply. She didn't know. She didn't know how she was going to set her princess free. "Michiru?" A blond asked from the door, as the violinist finally noticed her love. She blinked back reality as she placed the violin onto her bed. "Haruka..." Was the only thing she managed out. "Don't worry, we'll find her." The blond replied back in a knowing and determination. For the past year, the two had found each other, and with the two exact obsession, they bother decided to help each other out. And when doing so, they found more about their past... and also found a feeling of love between one. "Yes... we will..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Osa*p... hmm, wonder what's in there...' The blond thought, as she entered the jewelry shop full of beautiful necklace and bracelets and other beautiful objects. Her blue eyes looked about, and landed on a necklace, which was in a shape of a crescent moon. It was made out of a diamond of some sort, and it had a gold chain, which was finely made. She couldn't get her eyes off of it, as a girl spoke up. "Pretty isn't it?" The red head said, as the blond looked up at the girl with a warm smile. "Yes, very." "There is a story that goes with it too." The red head said, as the blond's eye brow lifted from it's place. "You see, it is told that long ago, there was a kingdom on the moon. It was a beautiful kingdom, and was ruled by a wise and noble queen, whom wanted peace and harmony between everyone and everything. "This queen had a daughter, and since her husband died so long ago, the daughter was given this necklace which once belonged to her father. "The princess was a beautiful young girl, whom fell in love with this prince from earth. Yet one day, a great evil entered the queen's kingdom, and during the attempt of saving the princess, the prince died. The princess, not being able to live another second without her love, killed herself to be with him. "The queen saw this and was heartbroken for now her daughter, her main reason for living, was gone. She used up the last of her powers to send her daughter and her court to earth where they are to be reborn. "And it is said that to this day the princess is still waiting for her prince to set her free." The red head finished up the tale, as the blond frowned. "Hmm... betcha that the prince will never be able to set her free..." The blond said with a twisted smile. The red head frowned at this. "Well, I think it's a sweet tale. I would LOVE to meet my prince from my previous life. That would be GREAT!" She exclaimed, as the blond just frowned at her. "Well, sweetie, I like to buy that necklace... how much?" "Well..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You lovely girls want to work at my temple?" The old man asked the blue haired girl as she looked at him in surprise. "I'm sorry mister, yet I am too busy with my studies to even go out and go shopping, let alone work." He frowned at this and started to mutter deeply under his breath. A raven-haired girl saw this and coughed loudly, as the elderly man just backed away with no more noise or fuss. "Hello? May I help you?" "Well, I was wondering if you can help me with these dreams I have been having... maybe you could tell me what it means..." She said, as she looked up with her deep dark blue eyes that shimmered. "Dreams?" She asked, as she looked interested in it. She nodded, directed her towards the private room. A fire was burning the middle of the room, as the blue haired girl looked around. The raven-haired then spoke up. "Tell about these dreams, and they I might be able to help." She said, as her voice was think as her mind were filled with questions. Could she be the one? Could she be the princess? She was waiting for this for so long as the blue haired girl turned her head towards the priestess. "A princess... with hair as bright as the sun holding her love in her arms. He was dead as a witch laughed at the sight. She cried, telling him that she couldn't live without him, that she wanted to be with him. And then she would beg him - us - to set her. She took the sword..." "And plunged it inside of her as we screamed for her not to." The priestess finished up. The blue haired girl looked at her, her eyes filled with surprise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ohh my god it's the Star Lights!!!" A blond girl said her eyes wide with hearts. "Oh my god, oh my GOD!!" She said, as the idol male group walked past her. "Yeah..." Said a brunette, "I know what you mean!! Taiki looks SOOO much like my old sempai!!" "Well, I think Yaten is the most kawaii in the group. Those eyes, that hair, those lips, his voice... hmm..." She replied back in a bit of a trance, her blue eyes sparkling as she toyed with her long blond hair that was put up with a red ribbon. "Hai, I think they are ALL so kawaii..." The brunette replied back to the girl. Her green eyes were off as she imagined having ANY of them as her sempai... She sighed. "What's so special about them?" A new voice said, as she turned her head to see her dear friend Ken. He was a bit jealous. 'Why doesn't she think of me that way? I always have...' "Everything..." Both the blond and the brunette replied back dreamily as Ken groaned. There was no way he was going to get his 'so-called' best friend out of this trance. Not when these guys look "so much like my old sempai". He had to say Makoto's old sempai was a baka to dump someone like Makoto. Makoto was a beautiful, sweet (when not angry), loveable girl that he would want any day. "Come on Mako, let's go get a shake... my treat!" Ken said, hoping to get her out of her trance. She smiled at him, and agreed to, walking of with her 'best friend'. The blond stood there as a white cat rubbed itself against her leg. "Minako... Earth to Sailor V... Earth to Venus..." The cat purred out, as Minako continued to stare off to space. He sighed, lowing his head, which showed a perfect golden crescent moon on it, and then thought of something. "Oh my Minako! Look, that store is on sale!!" The cat exclaimed as Minako broke out of her trance. "Where? Where?!" She exclaimed widely. Her eyes widen as she saw her cat laughing. "Har har har Artemis, nice of you to do that to me." "What... *giggle*... else could *giggle* I done? You wouldn't respond!" He said innocently. Minako then picked him up. "Yeah, yeah, yeah... sure... next time you do that, I won't buy you that cat food you like, I'll go for the cheep generic types..." Artemis's face was disgusted as he agreed unhesitating not to do that again. He HATED generic brands... they were so ICKY! "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Minako asked her cat. "The princess... we must find her... she is the key to everything..." "Didn't we just have this conversation an HOUR ago?" Minako said with a sigh. "I know... I know... must you ALWAYS remind me... I wouldn't mind having some time ALONE without being reminded of my whole destiny to find this princess who I don't even know exist!!" "Minako..." "I know, I know, must believe... yeah... sure... I'm trying. I do not to be reminded every minute about my duties Artemis... I am capable of remembering my duties!" "Umm... excuse me miss, I'm sorry to be rude... but are you talking to your cat?" A blond girl asked. She had just stepped out of Osa*p and heard Minako exclaim to her cat?? "I..." Minako said, as Artemis sweat dropped. "Wasn't talking to my cat... I was just talking to myself... yeah..." The other girl sweat dropped too and then replied back, "Well, you were talking rather loud... next time, I would encourage you to think it in your head... Any way! Ja Ne!" With that she left. "Look what you did!" Minako said to Artemis. "Now that girl thinks I'm insane!" Artemis looked at her innocently. "Me? I wasn't the one quote 'talking to myself.'" "Just shut up you baka!" Minako hissed at Artemis loudly as others stared... 'Damn, what am I getting myself into...' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm twisting the plots a LOT in this story. Okay, none of the scouts know each other, except for like Michiru and Haruka. All of them have the same mission though, to find their princess, which is Serenity. I'm yanking in the StarLights too, but what is different is that Serenity is going to be their princess... okay? Well, I hope it is THAT confusing... yeah... Onegai, send me your feedback... Suki da yo Usa-imouto...
