8 Moshimoshi, minna-san! It's me again, the Princess! I know, it's foolish of | |
9 me to start three stories at once... but I can't help it! I mean, I can't | |
10 just leave the darling Saturn and Chibimoon out of my plans... after all, | |
11 SailorSaturn is my favorite! Now, quick notes before you read this. This | |
12 story is a mix of the Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon manga, anime, and my own | |
13 personal spice. It takes place shortly after the sailor senshi have defeated | |
14 the Dead Moon Circus. The poem that ChibiUsa hears in her dream is Saturn's | |
15 prologue for her Sailorstars poem, called "The Second Coming." Standard | |
16 disclaimers apply. And, on to the story.... | |

18 "Dreams that won't disappear when I open my eyes.." | |
19 Prelude | |
20 | |
21 ---------- | |
22 | |
23 ChibiUsa stirred faintly in her sleep, giving out a | |
24 small moan. After the defeat of the Dead Moon Circus, her nightmares had | |
25 ended, and she had thought happily that they would stay at rest. But they | |
26 had returned full force this night, as was shown by her bedsheets that had | |
27 long since tangled around her sweat-damped body, twisted by her shifting | |
28 movements. | |
29 | |
30 In her dream, every mirror and reflective surface throughout Tokyo | |
31 mirrored the silhouette of Nehelinia, and her evil laughter reverbrated | |
32 throughout the city. A quick flash revealed another brief picture of an | |
33 entranced Mamoru in the Dark Queen's arms, as Usagi watched, wounded and | |
34 helpless. Tears stung at the corner of ChibiUsa's eyes as she whimpered | |
35 within her deep sleep, despair welling in her heart. | |
36 | |
37 But, suddenly, all pictures of evil and despair vanished into a dark | |
38 violet vortex. It was as if the fabric of the dream itself had been sucked | |
39 down a drain until nothing was left until darkness and silence. Unknowingly, | |
40 ChibiUsa's breath and pulse stopped completely, until a lilting voice slowly | |
41 spoke them back to life. The voice was cold, like someone who had been long | |
42 hurt, and yet beautiful, and it filled the silence with a music of it's | |
43 own. | |
44 | |
45 Surely some revelation is at hand; | |
46 Surely the Second Coming is at hand." | |
47 | |
48 The sleeping pink-haired girl's lips moved in an | |
49 unspoken name, but the beautifully spoken poem continued heedless in her | |
50 mind's ear. | |
51 | |
52 </P><P ALIGN=CENTER>"The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out | |
53 When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi | |
54 Troubles my sight: .." | |
55 | |
56 Within the violet vortex a dark figure became | |
57 apparent. But, unlike that of Nehelinia, this one betrayed not an evil aura, | |
58 but one of intense, fear-inducing power, as well as wisdom and age. The | |
59 slight figure's sensuous curves could be seen, held in a brief skirted fuku, | |
60 slender legs ending in knee-length boots. The dark figure raised a delicate | |
61 hand, and a wickedly curved polearm appeared in it. | |
62 | |
63 "Somewhere in sands of the desert | |
64 A shape with lion body and the head of a man, | |
65 A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, | |
66 Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it | |
67 Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds." | |
68 | |
69 Suddenly, like a camera on zoom, ChibiUsa could see | |
70 the figure's face. The countenance was pale and delicately boned, framed by | |
71 raven hair, dark lashes resting on flawless cheeks. A shiver rushed | |
72 ChibiUsa's body as those lashes lifted, revealing depthless violet orbs that | |
73 were soul-touching even in her dreams. | |
74 | |
75 "The darkness drops again; but now I know | |
76 That twenty centuries of stony sleep | |
77 Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle... " | |
78 | |
79 With a gasp, ChibiUsa was suddenly hurled from the | |
80 dream world into the waking one, and found herself sitting up in bed, | |
81 panting, drenched with sweat, her crimson eyes wide. In the yellowish glow | |
82 of the streetlights that filtered through her window, she stared down at her | |
83 trembling hands, looking surprised as tears fell on them, her lips slowly | |
84 moving. "The darkness drops again..." she repeated the line, mesmerized at | |
85 the thought of it. | |
86 | |
87 "Twenty centuries," she continued, her gaze slowly shifting to look | |
88 at a picture on her night table. "Of stony sleep..." The picture was of a | |
89 frail ebony-haired girl, eyes closed as she held a bouquet of beautiful pink | |
90 flowers to her nose. "Vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle..." | |
91 | |
92 Drawing her legs beneath her, she moved slowly toward the table, | |
93 extending a hand to brush two fingers tenderly over the photograph. "Oh, | |
94 Hotaru-chan," she whispered into the still night. "You're coming back to | |
95 me..." | |
96 | |
97 ---------- | |
98 | |
99 There you go. I think this is going to be a good | |
100 story... Hotaru and ChibiUsa are my passions in Sailormoon, I'm going to | |
101 thoroughly enjoy writing this story about them. Please send all comments and | |
102 criticism you have to me, I'd love to hear it! Until next time, keep your | |
103 eyes on the moon! | |
