Prologue - Part 1
“I’m pretty sure they go this way. Where are they?” Kousagi wonder out loud, walking down the stairs of her elementary school, looking for her four friends. As she turns around the corner, she hears the voices of her friend talking to each other. Happily, she walk towards the voices. “There they are! I know they are around here. Maybe I should surprise them. Yup! that should be fun.” Laughing quietly to herself, she quietly walk towards the corner but stop herself when she hear her friend - more specifically - ReiKo’s words.
“Kousagi is so annoying! I can’t stand her.” ReiKo acclaim loudly while crossing her hands. The others give a noise of agreement.
Kousagi was stop dead at the corner; too surprise to hear the hurtful words from her suppose best friends. “What?”
“I know what you mean. She is so loud, clumsy and stupid, its too bothersome.” AmiKo says almost emotionless.
“I wish she leave us alone. We keep trying to leave her but that girl keep appearing everywhere we goes.” MaKo says while re-tie her hair, giving it a satisfy pat when its tight enough.
“It can’t be helped really. Our mothers are friend, so they all expect the same from us to.” Mina shrugged.
“Usa-san is pretty cool, I don’t mind being friend with her, but Kousagi? Nope, she’s too much. I can’t stand her loud voice, it’s too high and its hurts my ear every time she whine or cry.” MaKo continue.
“I know right. And her appetite. It’s disgusting!” ReiKo say while nod her head several times.
“And don’t forget her grade. It’s so pathetic that it is embarrassing to be called her friends, not that I see her as that though.” AmiKo says, adjusting her glasses.
Those words made Kousagi blue eyes widen with surprise and deep hurt. She close her mouth with both of her hands, trying to stuff in her gasp.
“I agree. I never see her as a friend. She is more like, like a…” ReiKo pause, trying to find the correct words.
“Minion?” MaKo suggest, humour in her voice.
“Slave?” AmiKo says, a amuse smile painted on her face.
“Trash! Yup! That’s it.” ReiKo finally says, before laughing to her own joke. MaKo and AmiKo laugh along, only Mina looks slightly uncomfortable, but she still give a few giggle.
A tear slide down from Kousagi’s pink cheeks. Her eyes begin to overflown with tears but still, she try to keep quite. “But….I always thought as you guys as my best friends.”
“ReiKo-chan, that’s too harsh. What if she hear you?” Mina ask, trying to look serious but fail when a few giggles escape from her lips.
“Who cares? That girl is too stupid to understand what I’m saying anyway.” ReiKo say arrogantly, while flipping away her long hair from her face.
“If anything, she will just come here and start bothering us with food, homework and more food. I’m surprise that she hasn’t grow fat with all the things she keep eating.” MaKo says, after calming down from her laugh.
“It’s genetic really. Didn’t you guys saw how much her mother eats every time our mothers have that weekly gathering?” AmiKo answer, while finally deciding to put away her glasses.
“Our mothers have been friend for how long?” Mina quietly ask.
“More than 10 years, according to my mum.” MaKo says off handily. Suddenly she had a stricken look on her face. “Oh my god, do you guys think that our mothers thought that we will be friend with that girl as long as that?”
“No way!” ReiKo reject loudly. “I don’t to be friends with that girl any longer. Really, I’m thankful that I won’t be going to the same middle school as you guys. That way, I’m no longer obligate to be with her.”
“But the rest of us is still stuck with her. That’s suck.” MaKo say, a scowl on her face. “And no way I’m going to be with her any longer. I’m ditching her as soon as I can.”
“So am I. I can’t concentrate on my studies with her around. Maybe I should ask mother to transfer with ReiKo-chan.” AmiKo says with a calculating look on her face.
“Are you guys planning to leave me alone with her?” Mina ask, a weird look on her face.
“Well, maybe not. We’ll drag you with us. After all, the four of us is BFF, best friends forever.” MaKo says while hugging Mina.
“Yup, the four of us should stick around, and then we leave Kousagi somewhere to take care of ours stuff. After all, that is all she is to us, a caretaker of our stuff.” The others agree and laugh along with ReiKo.
Kousagi close her eyes tightly, trying to stop the tears. Her left hand was put on her mouth, trying to stop the noises from escaping while her right hand was place on top of her heart, clenching her white tops, trying to calm down her furious beating hearts. “Stop it, please stop it.” She try to move away and stop listening but her feet won’t move. She was stuck rooted there, and her ears keep catching all of the hurtful words by her ‘best friends’.
“Man, I really wish she leave us alone though. I really do can’t stand her.”
“True, she is annoying.”
“Annoying can’t even cover it. She should stop bothering us.”
“Yeah, she’s not even a part of us. Why should we listen to our mothers and keep be friends with her anyway.”
“Huh…I wish that our mother wasn’t friends so that we don’t have to pretend to be friends with her anymore.”
“Hello, she not our friend remember. There’s no way a clumsy, loser girl like her is my friend. And there’s no way I follow her lead.”
“Yeah, she’s not fit to be our suppose ‘leader’.”
“How can she lead us when she can’t even take care of herself?"
“She is not a leader material. She is just a stupid, clumsy and a loser. Not fit to be with girls like ourselves.”
“She should just leave and not come back”
The last of those words finally broke through Kousagi senses. Without caring for anything anymore, Kousagi run away, with tears flowing down her cheeks and eyes floated with tears.
Run from the place, run from the school…Run from those who she called her friends.
…………………
A cold feeling wash over her whole body, downright to her very soul. She opens her large blue eyes and place her hand above her heart, feeling it beats faster and faster. “What is this feeling?” standing up from her place on the bed, she walk forward, with intention of calling her beloved husband or her friends. But as soon as she walks out of her bedroom door, she saw a bright light shining from her daughter’s room. With a heavy feeling, she walks towards the room.
Stopping at the entrance, Usagi’s blue eyes immediately zoom in on the object on top of her daughter’s bed, and her face quickly turns pale. “No way….that’s impossible…”
……………………
Usa - also known as ChibiUsagi - suddenly shiver uncontrollably, and her face quickly becoming pale. “What on earth?” she thought, her eyes suddenly overflown with tears. Taken over by a cold, heavy feeling, she stand up and quickly run out of the classroom, ignoring the call from her teacher and her friends. “Something is wrong….Mama? Papa? No, not them….”
“Chibi-chan!”
…………………………………..
“How could they. After everything that I done for them, after everything that I do for them, how could they say that about me….It’s hurts, it’s hurt so much….”
“Mama, papa, nee-chan…..someone please, take these feeling away. Take these pains away…I can’t breath, I can’t think, it’s too much…it’s hurt too much, my heart can’t take it….How could they…”
CRACK
“If that what you guys wanted, then I will grant that wish of yours…and break everything."

A bright flash of white light.
A flash of dark pink light straight to the sky.
