Chapter One:
Shatter

Footsteps pattered quickly against the marble floor. The pillars of alabaster blurred past her vision while long legs stretched out from underneath the folds of a virgin white gown. As she raced down the endless hallway long pigtails of silken pink hair streamed behind. The young woman panted but her pace didn't slow, because her sanity depended on her running away from what…or rather whom was chasing her. She didn't have to glance over her shoulder to know that `it' was hounding her steps, it was hungry, and it wanted so desperately to take over her. Closing her crimson eyes for a brief second the young woman swore that she wouldn't let it take her…at least not without a fight.

Finally reaching the long elusive door hands moved to twist the knob open, only to cry out in frustration, it was locked tightly.

“Chibi-Usa,' a soft and sultry voice whispered to her.

Shutting her eyes tightly the young woman desperately tried to budge the door, this just had to be the way out!

“Usa…” the same voice cooed this time it was closer, so close that Chibi-Usa could feel a warm puff of air tease the back of her neck, causing goose flesh to pimple on her skin.

A gasp was wrought from the young woman as she felt two slender arms clasp tightly around her chest and middle, squeezing her body tightly as the form that had captured her steadily dragged her into the darkness which was enclosing around them.

“No! I am not going to let you take me!” Chibi-Usa said stubbornly, her right hand still clasped tightly around the doorknob, her fingers nails stinging in pain as she dug them into the metallic surface, clinging to her only lifeline before a final and rough jerk from her captor forced her to withdraw. The next moment…all she could see was stifling darkness.

“No!” Chib-Usa screamed, bolting up right in bed. Her eyes were firmly shut, but bravely she pried them open. Her vision was a tad bit hazy, slowly though she could see nothing threatening about the surroundings. It was only her bedroom. Everything seemed normal and predictable, same windows looking out to the rose gardens below, same vanity mirror and dresser. And the same bed she had crawled into a few hours ago, only the pink/white coverlet and sheets were nothing but a tangled mess from her tossing during the nightmare.

“A nightmare, yeah that's what it was,” Chibi-Usa reassured herself, but her confidence was a bit shaken so without a moment's hesitation the young woman eased herself out of bed, slipped on her slippers and lightly padded over to her vanity mirror.

The silver luminance which the Moon itself glowed with was the only light as Chibi-Usa scrutinized her reflection.

Her long pink hair, unbound by the traditional `rabbit ears' fell loosely around her creamy shoulders bared by her white nightgown. Familar `red' eyes which blinked as she looked up at the Moon insignia, a symbol of her royal bloodline.

It too had not changed overnight. It was a golden crescent birthmark curved upward towards her brow line, it was not the sinister black one that she knew and literally feared ever since childhood.

With a relived sigh Chibi-Usa lightly pressed her forehead against the cool glass, gazing into her own crimson eyes, “Just a nightmare,” she repeated before turning to sink back under her bed covers.



“So I was thinking that our best course of action would be to make an alliance with…”

`This is so borrrinnnggg…'Chibi-Usa thought as she tried desperately to suppress a yawn, just barely supporting her own head up with two hands while at the same time faking a look of interest.

Rei, or as she was better known Sailor Mars, was the political advisor to the Future Queen of NeoTokyo; quite ironic since the hot-tempered fire senshi always seemed to be the one who preferred action over compromise.

As Rei prattled on and on Chibi-Usa found her mind wandering back to her `nightmare'.

It had been years since she had even given a second thought to her `evil alter ego'. Sure Chibi-Usa would find her unconscious mind wander back to those dark times or maybe even place herself in a situation were she was still Dark Lady; but over time such thoughts were shoved aside to make way for more important things.

`Yeah such as sitting in on meetings and listening to these sleep-inducing speeches and motions,' Chibi-Usa thought wryly.

Just as the pink-haired princess felt herself starting to doze off a small piece of paper was flicked in her direction, landing squarely in the middle of her forehead.

“Ouch!” the young woman squeaked, having jolted awake Chibi-Usa picked up the offending scrape of paper. Finding it folded she opened it to reveal a cute chibi drawing of two figures, both sporting nearly identical `buns' on the side of their heads, with their heads laid down snoozing. The caption scribbled underneath was light in humor, `Like mother, like daughter' it teased.

Instantly Chib-Usa's eyes looked up to find the culprit. She didn't have to look far for right across from her a bubbly blonde smiled and gave her a conspirator wink.

The princess couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, `I should have known,' she thought, discretely placing the drawing amongst other `important' documents.

After the dismissal of the meeting Chibi-Usa proceed to corner said playful tormentor, but only after the other three had left.

“What do you mean I am just like her?!” the young woman whined, purposefully trying to sound like her mother's younger self.

“Aww don't be mad Usa-chan,” Minako said, as she playfully tweaked one of her `rabbit ears',” I was just comparing your diplomatic approaches to your mother's.”

Chibi-Usa faked a frown, which was difficult while giggling.

“When I become Queen I will most certainly fire you…or maybe exile is more your style?” the princess said with barbed humor.

Minako `winced', “Ouch, your sense of humor you defiantly got from your father.”

“Really?” Chib-Usa asked honestly, dropping the façade of indignation.

Minako solemnly nodded, “ But…” she playfully tackled the young woman, her arms clasped around Chibi-Usa's neck, “ you still have your space-case moments.”

Chibi-Usa felt her face burn from their close contact, quickly she pulled away. Turning on her heel a light laugh on escaped lips.

“Me? A space case? But Minako if I remember right the last time we had a meeting Makoto had to jab you in the ribs when Ami prattled on about some sort of technology advances…or something along those lines. You kept interrupting her speech with your loud snoring.”

“Hey! That was one time…”

“Or what about the time Rei nearly shoved the pencil you were balancing on your nose, down your throat?” Chibi-Usa readily recalled.

Minako responded with a mere shrug, “Okay you've got me there. I can afford to `goof-off' now and again though.” The Senshi of Love stated as her right hand moved to gently put a stray strand of pink hair back in place.

With the other woman so close Chibi-Usa felt conflicting feelings. Ever since she was growing up Usa had viewed the blonde senshi as more of an older sister and later a good friend… but recently the young woman could feel the stirrings of different emotions when it concerned the bubbly blonde.

 

Maybe it was just her, but something about this closeness that Minako was infamous for made Chibi-Usa feel uncomfortable yet respondent as well.

“You on the other hand really need to pay attention,” Minako stated seriously earning her a glare from Chibi-Usa.

“Please don't lecture me Mina-chan. I get enough of that from both my parents, Luna, and even Rei-chan.”

“True.” Minako agreed as she gave the younger woman a one-armed hug.

In the friendly embrace that Chibi-Usa felt accustomed to, the pink haired one suddenly felt tempted to enclose her arms around Minako in a more intimate hug…thankfully this feeling passed, but in it's wake came a savage headache.

“Usa?” Minako asked as she felt the princess stiffen.

When Chibi-Usa didn't readily response the blonde became worried. Slowly pulling back Minako was surprised to see a pained expression written on the other woman's face.

“Chibi…” she began before said princess abruptly turned away and walked out of the throne room.

The door slammed behind her, however Chibi-Usa was unaware of it, her head was pounding and she felt sick to her stomach.

She got about as far as the second corridor before sinking to her knees, the pain in her head and now her chest felt as if a lead weight had been placed inside of it.

Squinting her eyes shut Chibi-Usa tried to shut out the pain, unknowingly falling into darkness, in the back of her mind the princess could hear the merciless cackle of her true enemy.

Her body slumped against the wall, brow covered in a cold sweat as her birthmark turned from a shimmering gold to a tarnished black.
