Hi again. Here's part two of destiny's child. I am planning to make
the story part span up to six years later. But how I am going to do
that, well I don't know yet, but somehow I will. Check out my fics on
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Ginza/9426/main2.html. Thanks so much
to Luna and Artemis for posting my fics. Send any flames, comments,
etc to neene96@yahoo.com. And please send them. How would I know
anyone is reading this if I don't. I need at least some kind of
inspiration.

DESTINY'S CHILD

I could never remember much, moments after my confrontation with
Mamoru and Rei. Mostly just blurred images of my friends, Rei's
partially burned room and myself as I passed a mirror. I offered no
explanations to the scouts as I pushed my way past them and out the
door. The semi naked Rei and Mamoru should explain enough.

I don't know how I made it home in my mental state. It would have been
a pretty dangerous situation if anyone crossed paths with a jilted
senshi. Especially when the jilted one was me. But nothing happend and
I staggered home unmolested. I considered myself blessed for coming
home to an empty house. Seems that my parents have chosen that time to
leave and take my brother Shingo with them. My parents timing was
impecable, I think without it, I would never have kept the secret of
my identity for so long.

Luna greeted me at the door and stop short as her mouth dropped open
in shock. I must have been quite a sight since her blue eyes widened
as she backed away from me while shakily demanding what happend. I
brushed past her and proceeded up to my room, where I promptly locked
myself in. I caught a glimpse of myself on my mirror and was aghast at
what I saw. I could not help but supress a shudder at the specter that
stared back at me. No wonder Luna was shocked to see me. My eyes had
turned completely black and was rimmed in red while my face was the
color of graying concrete. Even my lips have lost their color and an
odonga has fallen out of place.

It's funny sometimes what you think is rational in times of great
distress. I have read in the newspaper how ordinary people could just
jump of bridges, shoot themselves or even hang themselves in fits of
sorrow, rage and hopelessness. These people were completely sane and
for a split second in time, saw an altered set of possibilities to
what they can do to express themselves. Now that I remember, it was
Rei who told me that once after I mentioned the article about the rash
of teenage suicides in Japan. I felt my face darken at the thought of
my betrayer. I wondered if my ghostly twin in the mirror felt the
same, but she only looked back impassively at me. An image of a broken
mirror somehow appealed to me as a contrast to the smooth and unmarked
one in front of me. Why should this mirror remain whole and complete
while my life was in pieces I thought to myself. Anyways my stupid
twin seemed to be suddenly smiling, almost gloating as if delighting
in the agony that possesed me. I know how I can wipe that stupid smile
off her face.

My friends have often questioned me on why I broke the mirror that
day. Did I break it in a fit of rage? Had I really thought my own
reflection was actually gloating at me? Or did I just want to hurt
myself? I gave them only explanation I could at the time. On that day,
I just wanted to feel anything other than the blade of betrayal that
seemed to continue to twist itself further into my chest and deeper
into my heart. Anything that would take away the pain that threatend
to kill me inside would help. At that moment I even thought that if I
inflicted some kind of physical pain on myself that I may find some
kind release.

I was wrong, instead I felt no pain nor any release, just a dull thud
as my fist connected with my twins face. I watched as her face cracked
then multipied into a hundred tiny little clones, all looking at me
with same hateful eyes. I watched as each clone suddenly broke into
sinister smile. As I stared back at my selves, I saw a thick red ooze
with the consistency of raspberry jam start to run from in between my
knuckles. The sight of blood cause me to pause and become fascinated
as I pulled my hand away from the shattered mirror. I had never
thought so much blood could come from such a small place. No pain
accompanied the blood, only a slight sting as air made its way into my
wound. I continued to watch my hand as the pieces of glass stuck in my
knuckles winked at me, when a glint attracts my notice. Two silver
fingers beckon me as I reach to grab a pair of scissors that had laid
discarded on the ground. I reach down to retrieve it with my blooded
hand wincing slightly as my fingers stretched, causing the glass
shards to dig deeper into my skin. I ran my fingers along the silver
blades and remained entranced by the refracting light emanating from
the handle as I closed my hands on the cold metal handle. A lost
breeze blows from my open balcony door causing some stray hair to fly
into my face. Inspiration fills my mind as the breeze tries to whisper
something in my ear. I look at the thousands of jeering bloodied faces
in front of and smile at them as the wind finishes whispering her
tale. I feel a surge of inspiration hit me and I wrap a finger around
a twisted gold of hair.

THE MANY FACES OF THE MOON

LUNA-
Once I heard the sound of breaking glass which cut through the thin
walls of Usagi's room, I knew something terrible was happening.
"Usagi-chan, I call out hesitantly. Please open the door and tell me
what's wrong." No sound came only the endless quiet, reminding me of
the aftermath of the War on Moon Kingdom. When Usagi arrived with her
pupiless eyes and concrete colored face, I thought I faced with a
phantom. Only when she brushed past me did I realize the Usagi phantom
was real. Usagi's body permeated an unknown coldness and I felt it as
her ankle past me by. Something terrible happend and I knew I was not
getting any answers from her at the moment. A thundering of feet
coming up the stairs made me look up in hope and I was soon scooped up
and surrounded by the senshi.

"Where's Usagi!"
"Did she talk to you?"
"Is she all right?"

"Quiet!," I screamed causing the endless tirade of questions to come
to a screeching halt. "First tell me what happend to Usagi," I began
as I looked around expectedly. I was greeted with silence and I
watched as everyone stared at each other, waiting for someone to
speak. Seemed that everyone was also unwilling to meet my gaze. It was
then that I realized that Mars was not among them, her absence only
heightend my awareness that something was really amiss.
"Well", Jupiter began rather hesitantly. "We were all headed to the
shrine."
"When we felt a kinda rumbling", Venus continued then stopped.
"For some reason we all transformed without our henshin sticks and we
knew something was wrong, so we ran to the shrine and..," Mercury
faltered and looked to the others for support. Jupiter decided to
finish off the story.
"And that's when we saw Usagi all lit up like huge candle and Mamoru
and Rei on the ground", Jupiter stopped again looking down on the
floor. I looked about becoming extremely frustrated.
"Anddddd.....", I ask expectedly looking at each senshi.
"Luna-chan", Venus whispered softly. "Mamoru and Rei were... I think
they may have been uhh.. intimate."
"Kami-sama, and Usagi found them," I whispered to the silent nodding
senshi.

Okay.. I promise that this story is going somewhere since it seems
like it isn't. So be patient. There is a method to my madness.
