~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sailor Moon stood her hands clasped in front of her, and eyes closed as if she was praying. "Mamoru-san." She said out loud. 'I am Tsukino, Usagi, the once normal 14 year old girl. Now I am Sailor Moon, leader of the Sailor Senshi and now the Moon Princess. What could be next?' She let a sigh escape from her lips and opened her eyes, hands still clasped in front of her. 'Shouldn't I be happy? Why do I feel so empty and sad?' Tears threaten to escape from her eyes, but the blinked hard, suppressing them back. 'I had Endymion on my lap, I held him….but something was missing…or someone.'

^^^^^^^

Days later, Osaka, Japan

"Well ladies and gentlemen, once again Ten'ou Haruka had beaten a Osaka High School record. Hold on, let me correct myself. Ten'ou Haruka has beaten her own school record by 3.5 seconds! Her old record for the 60- m hurdles was 6.72 seconds and will be replaced with 3.22! Amazing! The only time I saw anyone run that fast was with my 5 year old son running to the ice cream truck and-" The announcer, who sat in a box made of mostly windows continued to tell his story unaware that no one was listening

Haruka stood in the middle of a coward of her team mates, couches and school reporters who were congratulating her. She attempted to smile, but it just turned into a deeper frown of annoyance. 'I should have ran faster…' She said to herself. 'I should be happy, but Itai, I have such a headache.' She felt her coach pat her heavily on the back, and the yells and cheers continue, however, slowly they seemed to muffle out.

"Nani?" She looked at the faces but the seemed to swirl and blend together. She felt herself stumble forward as she world seemed like it was spinning to quickly for her to keep her balance. she felt like she was in the middle of a toy spinning to All at once she felt as if gravity wasn't able to hold onto her anymore and she floated in the air, but it ended quickly when she was slammed into the ground. "K-Koneko-chan…" She whispered into the rusty red dirt.

The noises stopped…

…and the arrays of colors went black.

In the stands a ghostly figure stood, people ran through her trying to get down to the track to see what was going on, not noticing she was there or even her prescience. Her slivery blue eyes, darted from the unconscious girl, barely visible through the people, to a blue and yellow bag. Her eyes went back to Haruka, as paramedics came, tears filled them as she watched them lift her unto a stretcher. "My dear Haruka." She remembered hearing the thought of the cold-sleeping girl so long ago.

"'Forgive me, I told you I will see you soon. I promised you! Forgive me…Onegai.'"

The figure smiled faintly, "You wont no break your promise, I will not let you.." She lifted her hand out straight and a golden ball of light appeared, it vanished soon after and in its place was a blue music box, cover with Tourmaline and Topaz stones. The beautiful pink and gold stones, sparkled in the sun and if floated down towards the slightly open bag or Haruka's then nestled inside. "You never have broken a promise, and you never will." She figure began to hum as she slowly began to fade, the last few words lingered in the hot still air.

"…Soon you'll be,

Home with me,

Once upon as December."

Same Day

In Tokyo, Japan three girls sat in a small group at the Hikawa Jinja.

"Look at those two," Minako started, "Rei-chan and Usagi-chan sound be competing in the 'Miss I'm a Depressed Teen Pageant.'" She stroked Artemis between the ears. "I didn't know Mamoru-san very well, yet he must've been some guy."

Hino, Rei sat on a large, flat and smooth rock near a small pond. Her face showed nothing but sadness as she dipped her hand in the pond, watching the fish come up to her wiggling fingers. While Usagi, sat far away from everyone. It was rare for her to be here, after Mamoru was kidnapped. However, every since 'Dark Prince Endymion' stared attacking she came more often, but it was the same everyday. She eyes were shut, even at her distance from her friends, she still heard them talking about her.

"…I'm really worried about Usagi." She heard Luna speak up. "She has been having terrible nightmares."

"Hasn't she always been? About Mamoru-san, right?" Makoto asked.

"Iie, in the beginning but these are really bad. She wakes up screaming hysterically and crying until her parents come into the room. It take thirty minutes to calm her, but she would not go to sleep afterwards."

"Nani! Luna, why have you never told us that?" Rei asked, she turned around from the pound her eyes wide.

"Gomen," The black cat turned to look at Usagi then turned back to the group, her voice now lowered. "I wasn't suppose to say. I Pray to the stars that she is asleep, but, I'm not sure what she is dreaming of. But, every time she awakens she screams out 'Kousa-chan' who or what is it, I don't know."

"Kousa? Doesn't that mean gold dust or something?" Minako asked.

"Hai, roughly." Ami said her eyes lingering on Usagi. " 'Golden sands' is more precise. 'Kinsha' is 'golden dust' ."

"Same thing." The blonde mumbled.

Usagi meanwhile, laughed on the inside. 'Not only is Minako-chan bad it sayings she is also bad with translations.' Usagi turned her head to the side and suddenly getting tired. 'Kousa-chan, who are you?"

* Nightmare*

Usagi, as a young Princess Serenity ran through a beautiful garden filled with many different colors of flowers. Tears ran down her red cheeks, she felt like she had been running for hours when it was just minutes. Soon a figure came into view, it was sitting on a large water fountain.

"Kousa-chan?"

She stopped at the person who stood and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Serenity, what is it?"

"I-I thought you left already!" She crumbled in the person arms, weeping hard.

"Oh Serenity," They streaked her long blonde hair, which had long ago fell from its buns. "I won't be leaving for almost a year. You know that."

"Hai."

The girl chuckled and pulled back. "Learning Japanese are we?"

"Hai, Prince Endymion teaches me sometimes, Kousa-chan."

"What does that mean?" The older girl asked as the sat on the edge of the fountain.

"It means 'Golden Sands.' He says it fits you, the color of your hair."

"I see well-" All of a sudden, the were pulled apart. Evil laughter and tune played loudly in Serenity's ear. Ad she watched hopelessly as her "friend" was dragged by a vein, into a large crack that had formed on the surface of the ground. "Serenity!" she scream.

"Iie! Kousa! Iie!" She struggled against her own veins that held her, but it was too late. The older girl was swallowed up. "Iie Har-"

"…you'll be,

Home with me,

Once upon a December…"

A voice sang softly with the eerie tune that turned into a softly sweet melody.

USAGI!

*

Usagi eyes popped open to see, in her view, 6 sets of worried eye, filled with fear and concern.

"Usagi-baka!" Rei hiss, her face showed anger and concern while her eyes showed sadness and concern. "What is wrong with you!" It was no question, but it was a demand.

"Nani?" She rubbed her eyes to find them wet.

"Usagi-chan," Ami said gently, pushing Rei away. "You were crying."

"…oh" Was the blondes only response.

^^^^^

Haruka set up abruptly, quickly regretting the move and the room began to spin. "Iie, not again." She laid back down, groaning. "Where the hell am I?"

"Ah. I'm glad you're awake you've been out for awhile now."

"Nani? Who are you?"

"I'm Dr. Mizuno. A doctor from Tokyo, I was here helping out Osaka Hospital when you were brought in." Haruka felt the dark blue haired woman put a hand on her forehead. In the distance she could her shouting.

"What's going on?" She set up again, this time succeeding in not getting dizzy, and looking out side seeing people marching around.

"The staff here went on protest, that's why I'm helping out." Dr. Mizuno said writing something on her clip board.

"I see. What happened to me?"

"Well, you passed out, honestly, after your race. You over heated most likely, mixture of stress and that was too much for your body to handle, so it shut its self down. Haruka, is there anything wrong? What's causing you to be stressed. At your age," She took Haruka hands and looked at her nails, "you shouldn't be biting your nails to the skin."

'You'd do the same if you woke up every morning from a nightmare, and not even know what it means. If you, felt alone, like you didn't belong, like a kid who lost its mother in a crowded mall.' Haruka said none of these things, she just stared out the window.

*Nightmare*

There was a party going on, and Haruka was dancing and laughing with someone. The girl had wavy aqua hair, that stopped a few inches past the shoulders. Haruka felt happy, really happy. It was fake, it wasn't pretend, it was real.

"How is the Princess doing?" The girl asked, looking over Haruka shoulder. "She looks kind of mad…"

Haruka turned her head, watching a girl with long blonde hair come towards her. "You promised me a dance." The girl pouted arms crossed at the chest.

"I did. You know I keep my promises Koneko-chan."

She turned her head, "Don't call me that. You don't love me!"

Haruka couldn't help to laugh, "Come one, Onegai, I haven't seen my friend here for a long time."

"Who is she by the way?" The girl peaked out of the corner of her eyes.

"This is Mich---Koneko-chan?"

"Huh?" Screams filled the ball room as people began running out, running into them not caring who they were. "Haruka!" She girl screamed and started running behind them, but it was too late, a dark and evil looking woman, with long red hair appeared and grabbed the blonde by her long hair, laughing evilly.

"Iie! Ser-"

*

Haruka looked at Dr. Mizuno. "It was just stress for the race. I'm fine now, may I go?"

"Of course. I tried calling the phone number provided, but no one answered. Is there a place where your parents can be reach?"

"Sure. At the graveyard." Haruka got off the bed and grabbed her bag, reaching for the form. "I can sign all legal documents for myself." She was handed the form and a pen, she quickly signed and returned it. "Arigatou, Mizuno-senshi." Haruka bowed the darted out the door.

^^^^

"Usagi, who is this Kousa person?"

"I don't know Luna, honestly I don't. I wish I did though." Usagi looked away from the groups stares, feeling tears coming to her eyes. She stood quickly, and ran from her friends and the Shrine. Without a word or excuse.

*

Running down the side walk, Usagi nearly knocked a woman down. She bowed and apologized quickly without even looking up, then continued running.

The woman stood there looking in the direction the girl had ran. She looked as if she was in her early twenties, she had long dark green hair and purple-reddish eyes. "Iie Usagi-hime, it is I who should be bowing to you. I should be the one apologizing. I since, your anger, pain, confusion and frustration. Forgive me." With that release into the dead hot air she quickly dodged into a nearby, semi-lighter alley.
