4 Title: Dreams that won't disappear when I open my eyes: Prelude
5 Rating: Hentai
7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
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
21 ----------
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.
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.
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.
45 Surely some revelation is at hand;
46 Surely the Second Coming is at hand."
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.
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: .."
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.
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."
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.
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... "
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.
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..."
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..."
97 ----------
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!
