Umiki: Hi, this is my officially first SM/Naruto crossover so please don’t be too harsh. For all the lawyers out there ready to sink their fangs into any good suing job, I completely do not own either Sailor Moon or Naruto. They both belong to their respective creators.

Warning/ Character death and future OOC. I’ll explain at the bottom of the chapter.

Release of the Caged Soul

(Chapter 1)

The Domino Park was one of the few places in Juuban that you could find naturally growing trees in abundance. It had a lake, beautiful flowers, and more than the occasional birds. Lastly, it was the only place that the nineteen year-old Tsukino Usagi could ever feel at peace.

The said girl was sitting on her favorite swing, watching as the sun began to set. She felt a sigh coming on as she began to feel a sense of melancholy come over her. This was the last time she would probably ever see her favorite park during a sunset. Why?

Because she was dying.

Over a year ago Usagi had been diagnosed with a disease with symptoms of heart failure and coughing up blood. Setsuna had secretly informed her that it was a disease that only infected those with Lunarian blood, and was considered fatal and incurable. In the past Lunarians had developed immunity to the disease, but the genes for the disease never left their blood streams. Because Usagi was originally human before her Lunarian blood awoke, she had no natural immunity to it. The only bright side of this was that she was more human than Lunarian, so it would take twice even three times as longer for the disease to take its toll on her.

Her family had tried to help her in every way they could, but she knew that they were becoming more prone to depression as the date of her predetermined death approached. She would try to comfort them as much as possible, but it was becoming harder to do as she grew weaker with each passing day. This was actually the last day she was allowed to leave the house by herself due to her weakening condition.

‘Its ironic really, my enemies would spend so much of their time and energy trying to find a way to get rid of me, even using kamikaze attacks. Yet the source of my demise is the blood that gave me the power to defeat those same enemies.’ she thought.

Watching the last of the sunset, she suddenly hunched over as she fell into a coughing fit. After a minute of coughing, she removed her hand to find it covered in blood. ‘It won’t be long now.’ she predicted as she fisted her bloody hand.

(Five months later)

Tsukino Shingo glanced at his left as the familiar yet still foreign sound of the heart monitor continued to beep. He almost flinched when he saw his sister lying on the hospital bed. His sister was now in the final stage of her disease, and everyone who was close to her was now awaiting for the end to come.

Looking over to where his parents were sitting, he saw his mother clasping her hands together in prayer while his father was holding his head in his hands. Looking back at his sister, he remembered when she was diagnosed the first thing she did was comfort them. She told them she would be fine and that it would be okay. She had accepted her condition with her stupid smile on her face and told them that she would not accept any medical help, if she was going to die she would just have to live what little of her life was left to the fullest.

He had been surprised at first when he saw so many people come when word got out that she was on her death bed. Her normal group of friends had come, but later complete strangers had come to visit her. Some were familiar due to their popularity, like the Three Lights and the Ayakashi Quartet who were famous for their solon products. Others he had never seen before, like the man with platinum-blonde hair and red eyes; for some reason the others had treated him with some surprise and a little respect. Strangely another visitor, a woman with blonde-red root hair and red eyes wearing a simple gold long-sleeved dress, had made his sister’s friends tense for a few minutes but they ended up ignoring her.

Hearing the door click open, he saw the doctor who had taken care of his sister throughout her ordeal. Approaching his family, he spoke in a low voice to his parents. He was probably giving them some final comforts. After finishing with his parents he turned to the rest of the group and spoke.

“Its been determined that her heart will start failing within the next ten minutes at least, a half-hour at most. Whatever last words you may have for her, it would be best if you take turns now and leave before it happens. I will return after ten minutes to check on her.” He told them before leaving the room.

His parents went first, telling her how proud they were that she continued to walk through life even against great odds. They left the room soon afterward when his mother started crying. Next were the two strangers, they said some things that he had no idea meant. They bowed low to the still form of his sister before they left, leaving only him and the others to say their goodbyes. He watched as they spoke in low tones to his sister and after five minutes they left to give him some privacy.

Stepping up to the bed, he felt his mouth go dry as the full weight of everything slammed into him. This was the moment that he knew would come ever since a year and a half ago. Steeling himself, he spoke up.

“Oi Ondango, I can’t believe your leaving us. You’re supposed to live at least till you married and had a few kids. You were supposed to grow old and still be the same stupid meatball-head.” He took a deep breath, “You made me promise that no matter what, I would move on and fulfill my dreams. To never let this hold me back, even if it felt impossible. Well I’ll keep that promise but you better watch over us till we meet again. Stupid Ondango-neesan.” He choked out as tears began to fall down his face.

As if the end of his speech was a signal, her heart monitor went flat and the deafening scream of the machinery could be heard everywhere. Shingo could feel his body go cold and the room become a blur as the scream continued. He heard a bang as the doctors came into the room and he could feel himself being escorted from the room by a faceless staff member. Once outside the room he didn’t know how long he had stood there before his mother wrapped her arms around him.

After what seemed like hours, the sounds of the machinery stopped all together as he heard the muffled voice of the doctor announce,

“TOD 10:43 pm.

(End)

Now to you Usagi-fans out there, know that I am a die-heart Usagi fan as well. But for my story to work Usagi needed to die. No one’s angry at me I hope……..(duck behind a wall as multiple knives and other pointy things head straight for me)

Okay, okay. Yesh, my reasons for doing this will be explained in the next chapter.

But there is something I need help with. I’ve always been a fan of Usagi/Naruto pairings, but I’m not sure if I should have that as my main pairing. So I’m asking you to tell me which of these pairings you want as the main pairing, and if there is a different pairing you want then tell me.

Pairings:

Usagi/Naruto

Usagi/Sasuke

Usagi/Gaara

Thanks for reading my fic and double thanks for any input you guys give me!
