Sailor Gems: Dark Crystals
By KattChuan703

Disclaimer, notes, and stuff people couldn't care less about: Nihao! My first ever Sailor Moon fic with a plot, and the first Sailor Moon fic I intend to actually finish. Okay. Plot: Tokyo is at peace after yet ANOTHER villain has been defeated, and it ain't Microsoft! (Actually, the Black Moon.) But deep in the dark regions of time, evil dwells, dark as night, with a heart as cold as ice. It brings together the 7 crystals, known also as the Imperium Silver Crystal, shattered again to serve dark purposes. Usagi must find a way to defeat this evil, along with her friends.

Sailor Moon is owned by Naoko Tekuichi. (Is her last name spelled right?) I apologize for any grammar errors, spelling errors, and any fics without any plot I have written in the past. (Namely FF7 darkfic) So enjoy, or not, depends on the mood. Oh, and also, Mariah Carey's song and album "Music Box" are © Mariah Carey and Columbia Records, and I am not making money off of this so please don't sue me.

Also, I'm using the Japanese names (Up yours, DiCwads at DiC!) though I have not been blessed enough as to see the kick-ass Japanese version. But I've seen some mangas on-line, and managed to take the ideas of how they act from there. For those of you whom have only gotten to see the (crummy) NA version, here's the key. (And for the villains, since me and a friend originally made up names for villains in English, now they got Japanese names, and God I'm getting redundant. *_*)

Tsukino Usagi-Serena. (Aka Meatball Head, bimbo, ditz......)
Hino Rei-Raye. (But that one was too easy)

Kino Makoto-Lita
Aino Minako-Mina
Naru-Molly
Umino-Melvin
Chibiusa-Rini. (Yech. Aka yamhead, fungus, brat......)

Chapter 1
Prisms
The 7 girls huddled around the crystal ball. Evil energy pulsed from within, bathing the room in an eerie glow. One looked up.
"Girls, today we strike. We will take revenge on the people of Earth. They dare banish us from this planet, pushing us farther away from life? They have grown weaker now, though. Now is the time to strike!" Her strong voice echoed throughout the room.
"Yes, Kisawa-chan. But we need to strike when they're at their most vulnerable. Some may have weakened, but some may have not."
"Don't worry. If any human dares interfere with us, we will take care of them. Nothing will stop us, I assure you." Kisawa replied. "We, the 7 Crystal Warriors of the Ancient, will live on Earth once more!" An enthusiastic shout followed.

******************************************

Tsukino Usagi turned around. What was it…? A voice, calling.
"What are you saying?.........No, I don't undersand!.....Nani? Are you serious?!..........Wha.....what are you talking about?!..........I never did that!.........No! Stop!" A dark presence filled her mind, lingering with accusing voices, sending accusations of filth into her brain, torturing her. "No! Please! Leave me.......LEAVE ME ALONE!" Shattering glass was heard, and Usagi woke up with a start, noting that she had "killed" her alarm clock. "At least it wasn't so bad I was talking in my sleep....." she said quietly, noting that Luna still slept quietly on the floor, curled up, snoring lightly. "But these dreams are getting disturbing............maybe Rei-chan can help me...."
She brushed her long blond hair, fashioning it into two odangos, with ponytails streaming from each one, as per normal.

**************************************************************

"Okay.....here you go........don't be so impatient!" Hino Rei crouched down, feeding the handful of birdseed she had to her two pet ravens, respectfully named Phobos and Deimos. A girl's screams of disgust and an old lecher's laugh could be heard, and Rei figured her grandfather was at it again. She stood up, and stormed towards the sound of the victim trying to get the old coot off of her. "Grandpa, don't you ever give up?!" Rei shouted, knocking him upside the head with her broom. She turned toward the customer. "Forgive my grandfather's actions. I don't know what to do with him.....will you forgive us?" Looking up, she saw a familiar face. "Usagi-chan?! What are YOU doing here?" A scowl formed on Rei's face.
"Listen, Rei, I don't have time for an argument. I need your help," Usagi said gravely. Noticing her tone of voice and facial expression, Rei's face softened.
"What is it? Let's go inside and I'll make some tea, then we can talk about it." Once inside, Rei prepared the water, and put it on the stove to boil. "Now, why are you so uptight?" Usagi took a deep breath. It would be a long story.
"Rei-chan?"
"Mm?"
"Did you ever have......nightmares that seemed so real, you thought that they were reality and reality was just a dream, a life being acted out on a script?"
"Like a play?"
"No.....like another life."
"Well,......I-I guess so..."
"I had a dream just like that. Everyone-you, Minako-chan, Ami-chan, Makoto-chan, Chibiusa, and Mamo-chan were all...dead. Your spirits were back, putting all the blame on me."
"You know we'd never do that..."
"You're not listening! It seemed like it was my future......destiny.......calling out," Usagi said, occasionally sipping her tea. Outside, cherry blossoms floated around, mingling with fresh raindrops that were beginning to fall. Rei looked at her for a while, uncertain of what she could say to comfort Usagi. She was about to finally say something, when Yuuchiro rushed in, wringing out his hair and brushing it away from his eyes.
"Yo, Usagi. What's up?" Yuuchiro greeted, a cheerful smile forming. Usagi smiled and gave a small nod.
"Konnichiwa, Yuuchiro. How are you today?"
"Fine. Hey, Rei, anything else you need me to do?"
"Keep grandpa out of my panty drawers," Rei joked. Not much of a joke, as it turned out that Rei caught her grandfather carrying her panties into his room a few seconds later.
"Rei, you don't mind if I borrow these for a while, do you?" the old fart called. Rei threw a dustpan at him.
"YES I DO!! ECCHI HENTAI!!"

***********************************************************************

"Who are you?" Sailor Venus asked icily, staring at the woman shrouded in mystery, standing right before her.
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know? But, I will tell you anyway. I am Sailor Diamond, or more commonly known as your worst nightmare," the woman said in a haughty voice, the mist swirling around her, her fuku a copy of Venus's, only with more of something on every part. More fabric around the upper body, except for the long dip that showed her cleavage, longer hair, more of a ponytail than just letting her hair hang down, longer skirt, higher high heels, longer gloves, somewhat longer sleeves, curving around. Venus also noted that the woman's hair color was a lighter, shinier shade of blonde, eyes a deeper blue, lips fuller. Her body was also more developed in the chest, legs, and arms.
"But if you desire to know my name, it is Shineko." Sailor Venus glared. From the venom in Shineko's tone, she knew that this was not an enemy to be taken lightly. Shineko's eyes narrowed and a smirk formed on her face.
"What is the matter? Are you not going to say anything?.........Well, if you wish then, but it is so rude. And where I come from, rudeness is not taken lightly." Her hands came together in an almost exact copy of Sailor Mercury's Shine Aqua Illusion, only the aura was a bright gold. "Diamond......Sunbeam.........FLASH!" A corkscrew of golden hearts and suns came at Venus. The senshi didn't have time to dodge, and let out a final scream

***************************************************************

"Minako! Minako-chan! Wake up!" Aino Minako woke up, her throat feeling sore.
"Wha.......mom? What happened?" Mrs. Aino peered into her daughter's eyes with worry.
"Sweetie, you were screaming so loud.....it-it just startled your father and I.....we thought......we thought...," she couldn't say it. She had almost said 'We thought -he- had come back for you....'. -He- was their worst nightmare, the same man who had killed one of Minako's closest friends when they were in kindergarten. A few weeks before she started school, Minako and Uniko, her friend, had been in their car with Uniko's parents, heading to the baby-sitter. The road was wet that day, slick with the rain that had previously fallen. They had skidded out of control on one turn, and crashed into another car. -His- car. The man's wife and kids had died, but everyone else was fine. Except for him. He had to be taken to the psychological rehabilitation center after the accident caused him to become mentally unstable. He had killed Uniko soon after he escaped, and he wasn't going to rest until he also killed Minako.
"It's okay, mom. I'm just.....stressed out about the finals coming up.....studying and all..." Minako lied, hoping her mother wouldn't question her any further.
"O-okay sweetie. Goodnight....." she gave Minako a little peck on the cheek before heading back to bed.
"But will I wake up alive tomorrow?" Minako wondered silently, before going back to sleep.

****************************************************************

"Makoto-chan! Wait up!" Usagi called, breathless from running like a madwoman. Kino Makoto looked behind her.
"Oh, konnichiwa, Usagi! Are you-"
"Hai. I always am. Why continue to ask the same question when you know the answer?" Usagi replied before Makoto could finish asking the inevitable 'Are you late?'.
"I dunno. Routine, I guess," Makoto said, shrugging.
A few minutes later.......
"Late AGAIN?! Usagi, you will just have to learn to wake up on time! I will meet you after school. Class dismissed!" Haruna-senseii said. The students raced out eagerly, grabbing their lunch on the way out. Usagi got lost in the crowd, letting her hair down so Haruna-senseii wouldn't see the two odangos bobbing above everyone else's heads.
"I ain't staying here for lunch........wait, she said after school......oh well," Usagi thought, pushing through the crowd of students.
"Usagi.......Usagi? Where'd that girl go?" Haruna-senseii wondered, looking around. "Baka desu. She forgot her lunch."

*********************************************************************

"Konnichiwa, Ami-chan," Makoto and Usagi greeted cheerfully as they sat down next to Mizuno Ami, whom was eating a sandwich and reading a book titled "Spiritual Physics Studies."
"Oh, konnichiwa," Ami said, looking up and setting the book down after finishing one portion of her sandwich. Usagi did the classic anime sigh, complete with the huge sweat drop hanging over her head while she did so.
"Aims, don't you ever get tired of studying? I know I would, especially studying half the school day!" Usagi said, making her point clear and known.
"Oh, of course not. I find something new and interesting in each book. This would be the..........234th book I've checked out of the library. I think. About............1, 437 more to go to complete them all, not counting the children's books I read when I was a little girl. You should try it, Usagi. You might even improve your grades," Ami explained, a smile on her face. Makoto facevaulted.
"The 234th book?!" She asked in disbelief. Ami nodded.
"Mm-hmm. But on weekends I do read some books to the gifted programs of the elementary schools, so that quickly adds to the total," she added. Usagi just blinked in shock.
'How could someone read all that and still not get some kind of eye infection or something?' Usagi wondered. Looking up, she saw a familiar face.
"Oh! Konnichiwa, Naru-chan!" She called, waving to the redheaded girl heading their way.
"Konnichiwa, Usagi! Konnichiwa, Makoto, Ami! Can I join yah for lunch?" Naru asked.
"Sure!" Makoto replied.
"Oh, Makoto-chan, I........sorta........ate my lunch during class. Could I have some of yours? Pleeeeease?" Usagi pressed, forcing a big smile on her face to look as kawaii as possible. Makoto laughed good-naturedly.
"Hai, hai. You can have some, Usagi. I'm full, anyway," Makoto said, handing the rest of her lunch over to Usagi. Shiitake mushrooms, cookies, cakes, shrimp, squid, ramen noodles, curry, and a few fancy looking sandwiches.
"Arigato, Makoto!" Usagi said, grabbing some chopsticks from out of nowhere and going into full-alert vacuum mode, complete with vacuuming sound effects, guzzling the food until not a crumb remained. The other three girls facevaulted, their eyes occasionally twitching. (Just envision any anime character doing said facevault with kawaii anime eyetwitch)
"Kuso, Usagi!" Naru said, covering her mouth as soon as she realized what she had let slip out. "Oops.....I didn't say nothin'!" she lied, hoping no one else around them heard her cursing.
"You just keep telling yourself that Naru. Maybe we'll believe it," Usagi laughed. Before Usagi could say anymore, a few buses pulled to a stop in front of the school.
"Oh, I forgot! Today's the field trip to.........to......." Usagi snapped her fingers as she tried to remember. "Oh yeah! We're going out into the country to see a farm, right?"
"Should be fun," Makoto said, sarcasm dripping from her voice like honey from a honeycomb.
"Yep. A fahmah and his doity (dirty) hoes," Naru sighed, causing Usagi and Makoto to laugh hysterically. "What?"
"Na-[gasp]-Naru, think real hard about what you just said! Heheheheh!" Usagi said between gasps and giggles.
"A.......fahmah..........and.......his doity.......hoes..........!" Naru realized what she had said and cracked up as well. Ami sighed, finished up her sandwich, and continued reading chapter 87 of "Spiritual Physics Studies."
"ATTENTION STUDENTS!" A voice blasted over the intercom, causing everyone to jump, scream, or choke on a ho-ho. "-Ahem!- Thank you. We will be boarding the buses for the field trip to the countryside. Please board the buses in an orderly fashion, and mind the students from the other schools." The students filed onto the buses. Usagi found a seat near the others, and sat down. Makoto and Ami followed.
"Konnichiwa, Rei, Minako!" The three girls greeted.
"Konnichiwa, Usagi, Ami, Makoto," Rei and Minako replied. Minako untied her ribbon and tied it back to form a variation of a fancy ponytail. She then straightened her light orange halter top and her short white denim skirt, causing half the male population of students from Juuban Junior High School to stare and drool. The half not including Umino, who was desperately trying to get a date with Naru, asking again every time he got turned down. Usagi then noticed a bee creeping along her arm, screamed, and smashed it. The buses then started, and Ami buried her nose in the last chapter of Spiritual Physics Studies, chapter 294.

******************************************************************************

"A farm, eh? Should be fun. And..........the farmer...........seems to be a good victim.....hey, bro!" Mikowa called to her brother. Shinikio appeared.
"Nani? Mikowa, I was just on a date with Rishoni. Why have you summoned me?"
"Never mind that, brother. You'll find out."

**********************************************************

"Nakitaku naru you-na moonlight...Denwa mo dekinai midnight..." Rei and Makoto sang, soon after causing everyone to join in. Including Usagi. After that ordeal, Usagi's singing made everyone else stop, hoping to encourage her to stop as well. (That and I forgot the rest of it in Japanese. So sue me. ^V^)
"Why'd everyone stop?" Usagi wondered.
"Gomen ne, Usagi-chan. But we got tired of singing. We.......wanna save it for the farmer, so he can hear how real singing sounds, instead of country music," Makoto lied, hoping Usagi would buy it. She did.
"Oh. Well, then, okay!" Usagi looked silently out the window, the sun-dappled roads shaded with leaves becoming her feelings, bright and cheery, but shaded in darkness. 'I just hope Mamoru is okay on his trip....'

"Okay......here ya go, piggies.......hold on, Kakitia-chan. I'll feed you too," Mr. Nichiwa laughed, dumping shiitake mushrooms into the trough that served as a pig's buffet/food bar, then going over to the large brown, white, and black-spotted Holstein. "Here ya go!" He then dumped seaweed into the cow's food pail. A breeze rolled by, an odd presence in the wind. He turned around.
"Huh? ........Someone there?.........Guess it must've been my imagination...." He then turned back around to finish giving Kakitia her seaweed, when he saw an attractive young woman walk up to him.
"Excuse me, sir," the woman said in a soft, whispery voice, causing the man to jump.
"Yah!.......Oh, you startled me, Miss…?"
"Oh, gomen! My name is Shinoki, and I got a little lost.......can you point me in the direction of Tokyo?" She asked, trying to form sad puppy eyes on her face.
"Hai. It's to the South there. If you follow that road over there, you can get there in no time. Need a lift? I can call my chauffeur."
"No, I can get there on foot. But before I go, here's my thanks." She pressed a small diamond into his hand.
"A-arigato, but I can't accept such a beautiful gift....."
"I insist." She left, turning around one more time. "Arigato, sir!" Nichiwa gazed at the diamond in his hand, then felt his body go numb and his eyes glaze over as the diamond imbedded itself into his palm. The strange feeling quickly faded, and he began humming as he went back to work.
