I decided to revise this story because I've had many comments
in regard to it and I want to say domo arigatou. Also, my writing
style has improved considering this was done some time ago.

When A Dream Becomes More
Chapter 1 in Usagi is dead.
By: Sailor Ranma <krislenz@hotmail.com> <icq 42256383>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was lost in shaded dreams. A thick white fog drifted in and
crept over her, bringing shadows and dark secrets. It left as suddenly
as it came in and in it's wake a gilded mirror reflected Usagi's deep
eyes. Pluto's Mirror, a little known object that shows truth. Usagi
used the knowledge of Serenity and murmured the incantation.
Let there be truth in light,
A mirror in which shadows begone,
Shaded lies these eyes may hide,
Yet the truth be told,
>From skies and magicks of long begotten old
The result was a deepening of her reflection and the fade in of an
image. She saw tears, running down faces of ones she knew.
And the blood.Kami, so much blood, the death of too many
lives because of a woman.Her.Grief stricken forms gathered
around a still body.Death...Two figures on a bed of satin in a dark
room.
The scene suddenly changed to the couple watching lovingly over
a little boy and girl. The little girl ran up to her mother and showed
off her latest discovery.
Serenity.Seiya.
The second generation.
Then she understood.
Usagi looked closer, hoping it was not so. The boy had long, jet-black
hair tied back into a loose ponytail. His eyes were a storms set upon
the deep sea. The girl had pure silver hair and eyes that spoke of a
gentle wind blowing across grassy fields. The two looked to be twins.
"Why?" Usa almost sobbed. She focused on the couple and saw the
features of the woman, eyes that spoke of wisdom and sadness, age.
"Why, damn you?! WHY?!" She sunk to the ground, unable to look away.
The family with the eight pointed stars.
The mirror traveled to another point in time and showed a increasingly
vauge image. Usagi could make out a female body adorned with a
flowing dress and a sword.
"Focus you Kami forsaken mirror!" she hoarsely whispered. She
asked and now would be answered. But she couldn't see. The
dream was leaving her! She grabbed hold but couldn't hang on.
Then for a split second, she saw the image.
The death.Usagi's death.
