*** A Tainted Soul ***
Prologue - The Past
By Bambi
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
17 years ago:
A 17 year old young woman named Ikuko sighed as she walked into the her
sensei's office to say good-bye. Soun turned around as she entered, "Why
hello Ikuko, what can I do for you?"
"I'm leaving to go to America, sensei." answered Ikuko as she thought how
handsome her sensei was. (Stop it! He's already married to Kimiko and has two
daughters.) Ikuko cringed as she thought how stupid she was being, being in
love with an married man who was also an father, and was also 6 years older
than her.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Ikuko." said Soun, "You were one of my best
students. And what are I going to do without my best student around to help
me?" He approached her as she slightly backed away, her heart pounding in her
chest.
Ikuko swallowed, "Umm... maybe your w-wife can help you."
Soun laughed as he closed the door behind her, "She's not an martial artist
like you. I need you." His breath was close to her face as he whispered in
her ear, "I want you." He started to kiss her ear.
Ikuko's eyes widen as she cried out, "No, please, stop."
Soun kissed her roughly, "I know you wanted this." Ikuko cried as she kissed
him back.
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
3 months later:
Ellen looked at the pregnancy test and tears started to flow from her eyes.
She placed an hand on her stomach, "I'm so sorry my child, you have no
father."
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
7 years and 6 months later:
Serenity Usagi Toshihiko giggled as she spun around in her new white dress.
She saw her mother nearby smiling and watching her. Serena laughed and ran to
her mother. ["Mummy. I love my new dress, thank you."] she said in english as
she hugged her mother. Ellen smiled at her and hugged her back. She looked up
and gasped. ["What's wrong mummy?"] asked Serena as she looked at the same
direction as her mother and saw an brown hair man with an black hair eight
year old boy.
["Serena, I want you to stay here, while I'll go and talk to that nice man
over there, ok?"] asked Ellen as she stood up and Serena released her mother.
After a few minutes, the eight year old boy walked over to her with a flower
in his hand.
"Papa says it's your birthday." says the boy in japanese. "Happy birthday."
The boy hands her the flower which she takes with a smile.
"Thank you. I'm Usagi." says Serena as she seats down on the ground and the
boy copies her. "What's your name?"
The boy smiled, "I'm Ranma Saotome. My papa's going to train me to be the
BEST martial artist in the WHOLE world. I'm already on brown belt in karate."
"Really?" asked Serena surprised, "I'm on brown belt too. Mumma trained me to
fight, too. Let's be friends." She sticks out her hand which Ranma shakes
eagerly.
"Yeah, we'll be the bestest friends." said Ranma as Serena giggles. Ranma
giggles with her and soon they were rolling on the grass together.
In the background Ellen is crying while Genma is comforting her.
------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
3 months later:
Ellen looked at her blond hair daughter, "Serena since we're now in Japan,
we're going to use our japanese names and speak japanese. Ok?"
"Ok, mummy." nodded Serena, "So my name is Usagi and yours is Ikuko, right?"
Ikuko nodded and smiled, "Yes, Usagi." She then thought, (I took me seven
years to return back to Japan.)
---------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
9 months later:
"Do you, Kenji Tsukino take Ellen Ikuko Toshihiko, to be your lawfully wedded
wife?" asks the priest in front of the stage.
"I do." says Kenji as he slips the ring on his beautiful wife-to-be's finger.
He smiled at her.
"Do you, Ellen Ikuko Toshihiko take Kenji Tsukino, to be your lawfully wedded
husband?"
"I do."
"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may
now kiss your bride." said the priest.
They smiled at each other momentarily, relieved, happy gazes spreading over
their stares. Slowly, Kenji placed his hands on either side of her face,
stroking her cheeks gently. She smiled, raising her expectant face. Everyone
cheered as Kenji kissed his wife. Usagi and Shingo looked at each other
smiled. (I now have a new daddy and a brother. Thanks mum, it's the best
birthday present I could ever ask for.) Usagi then saddened, (I wish Ranma
was here.)
----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
A few weeks ago:
"You stop protecting the girl and I might spare you." hissed a person as he
held a knife against Kenji's throat. Ikuko was already dead from blood loss
inflicted from the cut in her stomach and Shingo was knocked unconscious.
Usagi herself was all covered with bruises, cuts, blood and also she had
dropped her brooch somewhere on the ground, but she couldn't see it because
it was all dark and there was no moonlight.
Usagi and her family was taking a nice, quiet walk in the park when a group
of people came out of nowhere was started to attack them. Ikuko was killed by
trying to protect Shingo, the only ones standing was Kenji and Usagi. Usagi
was having difficulties keeping up with the fighting since she was already
barely hurt.
Usagi's eyes widen and screamed, "Daddy, no! Don't trust him, I'll go with
them! Please just save yourself."
Kenji looked at his step-daughter in the eye that said, 'call the police and
take care of Shingo I'll be fine.' Usagi hesitated as she started ran towards
the direction of the phone booth but was blocked by two other big men. Usagi
stumbled back as she fell onto the ground.
One of the man grinned and called out, "You can go and kill him, boss. We got
the girl in front of us." Soon other people started to appear around Usagi as
she heard her father give a blood curing scream.
Usagi's eyes widen in terror, as she watched in slow motion as her father was
falling towards the ground, all covered with cuts and his own blood. "Daddy!"
screamed Usagi as she pushed the wall of men with all her force and ran
towards her fallen father.
"Usagi." croaked out her father painfully as he tried to get up.
"Father, why did you try and save me?" she cried as she placed her father's
head on her lap. Her communicator started beeping but she ignored it, this
was more important as her eyes became moist.
Kenji started to gasp for air, "Go to your real father, Soun Tendo in
Nerima... Promise me... promise me you'll protect S-Shingo..."
"I-I promise." swallowed Usagi as tears flowed from her eyes. "Please, don't
leave me, father!" Suddenly he closed his eyes and his body went limped.
"DDAADDDD!!!" she screamed into the air. Unnoticed by Usagi but her brooch
was clamped tightly in his hand. She shook his body and cried, "Dad... no!
Don't go! Dad!" Usagi stared at the knife next to her father and picked it up
holding in her hand ready to kill herself when she remembered the others.
Rei, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Haruka, Michiru, Mamoru, Hotaru and Chibi-usa.
"Aw... how sweet." snickered the boss as he walked towards her.
Usagi looked up at him with hatred in her eyes, she had never felt like this
before. So dark, so much anger, like a volcano going to erupt. She wanted,
no, she needed to make them hurt as much as they had hurt her family. She
gripped the knife in her hand tightly as she stood up, a dark blue hue
surrounding her. "You!!! DIE!!!" she cried out an battle rage and ran with
inhuman speed towards the boss with the knife thrust in front of her. She
went berserk as she stabbed everyone with the knife, several people fell to
the ground pooled in their own blood. Some managed to escape with injuries.
Usagi then fell to the ground her eyes widening with terror and fear. The
knife slipped from her hand as it hit the cold hard ground. She looked around
staring at the dead bodies that she killed. SHE KILLED. Tears flowed from her
eyes as she slowly raised her hands to her face. Her hands was covered with
blood. The horrible truth finally hit her as her body started to tremble
violently. She then looked up into the pitch black night sky and screamed,
"NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!" Her scream blocked out the sound of her communicator
beeping.
---------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Shingo gasped for air and the first thing he noticed was that his sister was
leaning over him and was not moving. "Usagi!" he cried out as he shook her.
Usagi groaned and looked up, her eyes were haunted and bloodshot. "Usagi,
where's mum and dad?!" She didn't answer instead he noticed that his sister
was all covered with blood. "Usagi! What happened?! Tell me!" he shrieked as
he shook his sister hard on the shoulders as he heard sirens.
---------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"No... no..." she cried as she kept washing her hands. An police officer
appeared behind her and pulled her away from the lake. "No.. no... I didn't
mean it... I didn't want to kill... I-I... I'm evil... No... No..."
"I know, I know. Come on, now." said the police officer as he pulled the girl
away. Usagi's eyes was lifeless, like an pit black, empty hole. "I'm taking
you to an hospital to get some help."
----------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Usagi was staring at the ceiling and she didn't notice when someone walked
in. The person sat down on the chair next to her and watched her for a while
before speaking up. "Usagi..."
Usagi turned her back towards the person. "Go away, unless you want me to
kill you too."
"Usagi." started the person but stopped when Usagi bought her pillow against
her ears. The person sighed as she continued, "Usagi, I know you can hear me.
But please don't that believe it's your fault for what happened. And what
you... did to the men was only for self-defense." After waiting for a while
for from any sign from Usagi, the person stood up and got ready to leave.
Usagi then turned around and yelled out, "No, it's not! It wasn't self-
defense, Rei! I cold-blooded murdered them because I had no self-control! I
was trained by my mother to have self-control!" Usagi started to bury her
head into her arms. (How could I have been so stupid? How could I let myself
lose control like that? What if there was some innocent people there?) She
started to cry. (I am Sailor Moon... I'm meant to save lives... And I
couldn't even save the ones closest to me... I'm a failure.) She wrapped her
arms around herself as she trembled.
Rei's eyes soften as she ran to her friend to comfort her as she cried.
After a while as Rei thought Usagi was asleep was stood ready to leave.
"Rei?" Rei turned around as Usagi continued, "Please don't tell anyone about
this."
"But Usagi they nee.." started Rei but was interrupted. Usagi turned around
again to face her, her eyes red and puffy.
"Please?" asked Usagi pledging as tears were falling from her eyes, "I can't
deal with it right now."
Rei sighed and gave in to her best friend, "Ok I promise. Only if you promise
not to do anything stupid."
"Like what?" asked Usagi monotonelessly. Once again Rei sighed and left Usagi
alone.
------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
A week later:
Usagi and Shingo stood there remorse as they watched their parents were laid
down onto the ground. Shingo turned to look at his sister who was wearing
black slacks, black top, black jacket and also a black hat with a veil
covering her face from view. Shingo himself was wearing black jeans and a
black jumper. Usagi stepped forward and threw the flower in the pit then
Shingo followed the suit.
Usagi stood still as she watched her parents were getting buried, she had
been crying each second before this day and now no tears came. Usagi had an
hair cut to the same length as Rei's and had some what changed colour to an
light brown. Usagi silently got into the car and quietly drove home without
saying one single word.
On her left hand, the middle finger she wore her mother's wedding ring, it
was gold with a small diamond. Around her neck was also her mother's necklace
and it had a heart shaped locket with a picture of her parents inside. Shingo
had received all of his father's assets.
During the car ride, Shingo was watching his sister. As they stopped at a red
light he noticed that her hands was shaking and she was clenched tightly
towards the steering wheels, her knuckles was starting to go white. Shingo
placed a hand on her hand and he managed to calm her down a little.
As they got home Shingo finally spoke up, "So Usagi, what do we do now?"
Usagi removed her hat and shook her hair free down onto her back.
Usagi looked at her brother and spoke up for the first time in the two days,
"You can do what you want, remember we're are leaving soon." Shingo nodded
and ran outside.
"Usagi, I'm going over to Mika's place for a while, ok?" asked Shingo.
Usagi smiled weakly and said, "Yes... yes, go." Shingo reluctantly left.
Usagi sat down onto the couch. Burying her head in her arms she begun to sob
quietly. Sniffing she recalled what had happened two nights ago...
Eternal Sailor Moon was late for a fight, she was dealing with the accountant
and tax advisors before her communicator went off. As soon as she could, she
flew towards the fight.
Mercury and Venus were both unconscious and the Outer Scouts were on tour.
The only ones who was standing was Tuxedo Mask, Jupiter and Mars. They were
fighting two droids, ESM (Eternal Sailor Moon) took out her kaleid moon scope
and cried out her attack, "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" The blast went through
the two droids quickly disintegrating.
ESM ran towards her friends and boyfriend, "Are you guys all right?"
*Slap* Eternal Sailor Moon held her cheek painfully as tears started to flow,
she looked up at Tuxedo Mask who was looming over her. "I... I... can
explain..." she stammered. She looked behind him to the girls for some help,
but they looked away not wanting to look her in the eye.
"What's there to explain? It's over and this time for real." Stated Tuxedo
Mask coldly. ESM saw Sailor Mars looked at her in the eye and had pitied her.
(It's over, it's over, it's over...) the words repeated itself inside her
head. ESM knew that their love won't last any longer especially from all the
breaks up as she took off her gloves and slid the ring Mamoru gave her off
her finger.
She bit her lip and stood up, quivering she walked towards the clad man and
pressed the ring into his hand. "Th... this is yours, now if you... excuse
me... I... I need to go and... and drown my sorrows." And with that she
walked away from them and headed towards the nearest cliff.
She detransformed and stood at the edge of the cliff feeling the cold air
rushing through her clothes. She could hear the sound of the waves crashing
against the rocks. Usagi closed her eyes and thought, all she wanted was an
normal peaceful life. But now, she was Sailor Moon, the Moon Princess, an
murder, an child... All that she lived for disappeared that night, that few
minutes ago. Then she paused. Her promise, her promise to her father... to
protect Shingo... How could she protect her brother if she was dead? No, the
silver crystal would protect Shingo. What use was she here anyway? She would
only cause more damage to others. Besides, it wasn't like anyone else would
find out that she's gone. No one cared enough for her. No one loved her.
No one ever did... No one... She was no one...
Without another thought, she closed her eyes and took one step forward and
waited for her body to hit the cold deep ocean. The impact never happened.
Usagi opened her eyes and saw her brother grabbing onto her arm. "Don't leave
me Usagi!" yelled Shingo as he tried hard to pull her up. "You're the only
family I have left." He had tears in his eyes, he was pleading for her not to
leave him alone in this cold harsh world.
Usagi looked down at the cold black pit that beckoned her to enter. She then
looked at her brother and whispered, "I'm so sorry, Shingo..." She then freed
herself and felt herself falling to her death. (I'm sorry for being so
selfish.)
"USAGI!!!" yelled Shingo as he watched his sister fall into the darkness.
Suddenly he saw a bright flash of light. His eyes widened as he watched ESM
flew up towards him. "Usagi?" asked Shingo as ESM stood next to him. She
detransformed and braced herself for Shingo's attack.
"Usagi!" cried out Shingo as he tackled his sister in a hug...
Usagi smiled wishfully as she snapped out of the daydream when she had a car
pulled up their driveway. She ran towards the window to see two men walking
up towards the door. One of the man was wearing a black suit and sunglasses,
the other had black long hair.
Usagi opened the door to be greeted in her japanese name, "Usagi Tsukino?
This is your father Soun Tendo and I believe that your brother Shingo is
going to be a Tendo too." And that was the day when Serenity Usagi Tsukino
had died and Usagi Tendo was born.

had received all of his father's assets.
During the car ride, Shingo was watching his sister. As they stopped at a red
light he noticed that her hands was shaking and she was clenched tightly
towards the steering wheels, her knuckles was starting to go white. Shingo
placed a hand on her hand and he managed to calm her down a little.
As they got home Shingo finally spoke up, "So Usagi, what do we do now?"
Usagi removed her hat and shook her hair free down onto her back.
Usagi looked at her brother and spoke up for the first time in the two days,
"You can do what you want, remember we're are leaving soon." Shingo nodded
and ran outside.
"Usagi, I'm going over to Mika's place for a while, ok?" asked Shingo.
Usagi smiled weakly and said, "Yes... yes, go." Shingo reluctantly left.
Usagi sat down onto the couch. Burying her head in her arms she begun to sob
quietly. Sniffing she recalled what had happened two nights ago...
Eternal Sailor Moon was late for a fight, she was dealing with the accountant
and tax advisors before her communicator went off. As soon as she could, she
flew towards the fight.
Mercury and Venus were both unconscious and the Outer Scouts were on tour.
The only ones who was standing was Tuxedo Mask, Jupiter and Mars. They were
fighting two droids, ESM (Eternal Sailor Moon) took out her kaleid moon scope
and cried out her attack, "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" The blast went through
the two droids quickly disintegrating.
ESM ran towards her friends and boyfriend, "Are you guys all right?"
*Slap* Eternal Sailor Moon held her cheek painfully as tears started to flow,
she looked up at Tuxedo Mask who was looming over her. "I... I... can
explain..." she stammered. She looked behind him to the girls for some help,
but they looked away not wanting to look her in the eye.
"What's there to explain? It's over and this time for real." Stated Tuxedo
Mask coldly. ESM saw Sailor Mars looked at her in the eye and had pitied her.
(It's over, it's over, it's over...) the words repeated itself inside her
head. ESM knew that their love won't last any longer especially from all the
breaks up as she took off her gloves and slid the ring Mamoru gave her off
her finger.
She bit her lip and stood up, quivering she walked towards the clad man and
pressed the ring into his hand. "Th... this is yours, now if you... excuse
me... I... I need to go and... and drown my sorrows." And with that she
walked away from them and headed towards the nearest cliff.
She detransformed and stood at the edge of the cliff feeling the cold air
rushing through her clothes. She could hear the sound of the waves crashing
against the rocks. Usagi closed her eyes and thought, all she wanted was an
normal peaceful life. But now, she was Sailor Moon, the Moon Princess, an
murder, an child... All that she lived for disappeared that night, that few
minutes ago. Then she paused. Her promise, her promise to her father... to
protect Shingo... How could she protect her brother if she was dead? No, the
silver crystal would protect Shingo. What use was she here anyway? She would
only cause more damage to others. Besides, it wasn't like anyone else would
find out that she's gone. No one cared enough for her. No one loved her.
No one ever did... No one... She was no one...
Without another thought, she closed her eyes and took one step forward and
waited for her body to hit the cold deep ocean. The impact never happened.
Usagi opened her eyes and saw her brother grabbing onto her arm. "Don't leave
me Usagi!" yelled Shingo as he tried hard to pull her up. "You're the only
family I have left." He had tears in his eyes, he was pleading for her not to
leave him alone in this cold harsh world.
Usagi looked down at the cold black pit that beckoned her to enter. She then
looked at her brother and whispered, "I'm so sorry, Shingo..." She then freed
herself and felt herself falling to her death. (I'm sorry for being so
selfish.)
"USAGI!!!" yelled Shingo as he watched his sister fall into the darkness.
Suddenly he saw a bright flash of light. His eyes widened as he watched ESM
flew up towards him. "Usagi?" asked Shingo as ESM stood next to him. She
detransformed and braced herself for Shingo's attack.
"Usagi!" cried out Shingo as he tackled his sister in a hug...
Usagi smiled wishfully as she snapped out of the daydream when she had a car
pulled up their driveway. She ran towards the window to see two men walking
up towards the door. One of the man was wearing a black suit and sunglasses,
the other had black long hair.
Usagi opened the door to be greeted in her japanese name, "Usagi Tsukino?
This is your father Soun Tendo and I believe that your brother Shingo is
going to be a Tendo too." And that was the day when Serenity Usagi Tsukino
had died and Usagi Tendo was born.
