Please! Please- make things better!
The battle had raged fiercely, between the evil of Metallia and the young Moon Princess. Yet while it seemed to be in the balance, Serenity could feel her strength draining from her like water from a sieve. She couldn't win- not alone.
Her friends... she thought of them, could almost feel them with her... as if ghostly hands were wrapping themselves around her own, bracing the wand, filling her with new determination. Ami, Rei, Minako, Makoto... all around her...
He was there too.
Mamoru- Endymion. The one who had saved her then, now, always. Her only love.
At that thought, it felt like a gong had been struck inside her, reverberating from her to the Crystal, shattering the deadlock between her and the witch. Light, strength and love- it flowed from the Crystal to devour the demon, and sucking out the life force of the Moon child-
Crystal, I don't care about myself- MAKE THINGS RIGHT!
~*~*~*~*~
She didn't want to wake up, but someone was crying.
Usagi Chiba didn't open her eyes, content to listen to the slow beep of the heart monitor as it ticked her life away, knowing there was nothing else she could do to save herself. Not that she really wanted to. Mommy and Daddy were gone... killed in the accident that was draining her short life away.
Still, someone was crying.
Cracking open her lids, the little girl looked around, and wondered who she was looking for. The sound of the crying was coming from a child, that she was certain. It would be nice to talk to another kid.
Nurses bustled about the intensive care ward, people with living family had visitors... and her heart clenched again, before weariness took the too young, too old child. At least it wouldn't be much longer...
Who WAS that crying?
Deep blue eyes lit from person to person, and while some people looked sad, no one was bawling with the intensity of this unseen kid. Finally, sighing with annoyance, she rolled over-
"Angels can cry?" she asked, seeing, what appeared to be a child angel, pale as moonlight with hair like spun silver, fluffy white wings wrapped around him in misery.
The little angel looked up at her, eyes the color of amethyst and slitted like a cats. She blinked at him... and despite herself, felt sorrow for the crying child.
"What's wrong?" she asked, voice croaking from disuse. She had not spoken since she had entered the hospital, not since she had been told she would die.
"M-my master is gone and he left me ALONE and I don't want to be and I can't find my brother and he's gone he's gone HE'S GONE!"
The intense sobbing bubbled back up, leaving Usagi to stare at the little angel. She was kind of confused, because he kept sobbing about his master, but she could guess how he felt about being left alone.
"My mommy and daddy are gone, too... And I'm going to be gone soon, but you can stay with me until I go," she said softly, and the little angel hiccuped. His eyes widened with sudden hope, then narrowed suspiciously.
"I don't need anyone," he tried to cover up his previous crying, and his obvious loneliness. Usagi gave him a fragile smile.
"I do though... could you stay with me?"
He must be younger than me, she thought, from her lofty age of ten. It didn't occur to her to question why no one else had said something to small creature in front of her, or why she didn't find him frightening.
The angel's face turned hopeful, almost painfully so, and he floated up to her bed.
"You're not alone now," he said cheerfully, and she smiled back at him. "My name is Yue."
Usagi scooted over as best she could so Yue's warm body cuddle up with hers in the bed.
"Thank you, Yue. I'm Usagi." The feeling of not being alone filled her, and helped warm the emptiness left by her parents. It was almost like hope. "I am sorry about having to leave you alone later, if I don't get to tell you now..."
Those blue eyes watered up again, devastated. "You'll leave me too?"
She painfully moved one hand to stroke his white head. "I don't want to, but I don't have much choice... My mommy and daddy and I were in an accident and they died... I'm going to die."
The little angel looked terrified, and wrapped his arms and wings around her waist. "My master didn't want to die but he did. Do you have to die?"
Usagi tried to nod, but for some reason it seemed harder than it should. She could feel her breathing become more and more labored. "Its not so bad... I'll get to see my mommy and daddy again..."
"BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE!" Yue burst out, burrowing his head further into her tummy and starting to sob.
"I don't really want to either, but the doctors said they couldn't stop the bleeding and my insides were crushed. They don't know why I lived so long. In fact," she blinked. "They said I was in a coma."
"What's that?" Yue asked, looking up at her, curious.
"Its when you don't open your eyes for a long time but you are still alive," she tried to explain. "I didn't want to open mine because I was alone but I heard you crying."
His voice was sounding more and more distant, and despite the boy's warmth against her, she was getting colder, and her eyes felt so heavy.
Yue suddenly looked distressed. "You're leaving me Usagi! Don't go! I don't want you to GO!"
There was a ringing in her ears, and everything seemed to be drifting away.
"I WON'T LET YOU GO!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
The darkness clung to her like mud, refusing to let her go. In the empty plane of her mind, Usagi looked at Yue, confused.
"What did you do to me?"
This version of the baby angel, instead of crying and innocent, was adult, beautiful, and frigid as deep winter snow.
"I merged out bodies, to keep you alive," he said softly, not meeting her eyes.
She looked at him compassionately. "You were that lonely?"
No answer.
Finally... "I just didn't want someone else to walk out of my life."
This could make things complicated. "You know who I am, or was? And who I will be?"
Yue nodded. "You also tried to arrange things so that history was different, and those directly involved, after what happened, forgot. You will be called to duty," he smiled bitterly. "And so will I. However, once my job is over, you are free to do whatever you want. I'll just... be here."
Serenity smiled faintly. "Not like that..."
She hugged him... and there was light.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ten year old Yukito Tsukishiro sat straight up, coming to consciousness with a gasp.
The noise was incredible- a bus had crashed nearby and people were rushing back and forth, new patients being put into the ICU- there was no way anyone would have the time to notice the waking up of a small boy who had been comatose for months.
He didn't know where he was, he only could guess at his name... He didn't remember his parents... Anything. Anything at all...
Looking around, he saw all the people rushing to and fro... He felt so lost...
Then someone finally noticed him.
"OH my GOD! Doctor! Doctor, look! He's awake!"
End prologue.
A/N: It started when I read someone's story "Love on the Moon" or something like that... and I thought it was cool at first. At least, until I found out it was a romance between Yue and Usagi. Granted, I have written stories bastardizing Mamoru, I have coupled Usagi with odd characters (coughsPiccolocoughs) but after a while, you get tired of that plot...
SO! What am I going to do?
Totally screw with people's heads, that's what!
I read the names, Yukito and Usagi- and they're names are a lot alike. Both have bunny and moon in them. They both like to eat. They both are "of the moon" in a sense...
Sounds like they could be siblings, right?
In fact, it sounded to me like they could be the same person.
Now, the problem with THAT idea, is of course, Yue. He's blank, emotionless (on the outside at least) and why did I start this with him as a kid? A baby angel?
He went through a big hurt when he lost Clow... and what Usagi saw was his true self. The side that was hurting, and needed comfort. People who are of the moon seem to be attracted to one another, and who is going to have more moon power than Usagi?
Now... this story is going somewhere...
