This Fragile World is Tearing Apart

Oct 18, 2011 19:02

The door slammed so hard that the castle probably shook. Good; let them all know how she was feeling.

A blonde girl threw herself onto the opulent bed, screaming into her pillow in sheer desperation. After a few moments, she comes up for air, blue eyes half open and holding the same hurt look as always. They always talked about how kind her mother was, how benevolent, how her heroism had kept the peace for so long. So why was it that same woman caused her so much pain?

Of course, she knew; Sailor Pluto had explained it to her quite some time ago. Tsukino Hisako, the first born daughter of Queen Serenity and King Endymion (nee Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru), was not what anyone expected. Instead of Chibiusa, the daughter Usagi had been expecting for years, Hisako was born instead. Pluto had explained to the distraught queen that Chibiusa was merely a possibility of the future, not a certainty. Hisako was her true child, and nothing could be done. Serenity had tried her best to care for her baby, but that love that normally existed between mother and child was quite noticeably absent, and the royal nursemaids and nannies pretty much raised Hisako. Endymion tried his best to help both mother and child cope, but Serenity's neglectful nature only grew.

It had finally come to a head this very evening. A final, desperate move to help gain some favor with her mother had led Hisako to try and style her wavy hair the same way as her mother's. The odango were... off. A little pointed, even. But she still felt they were fine. However, when she went to see her mother, she saw no joy on the queen's face - only depression, followed by anger. The next thing Hisako registered was her mother angrily brushing out her hair, crying and calling her disrespectful. Hisako had pushed her away and ran here, where she now lay in a world of confusion and hurt. Normally, this was where she would let her tears flow, but it had seemed she had run out of tears to cry, for none came. Instead a single word, barely a whisper, escaped her lips. "Why...?"

As a knock sounds at her door, Hisako sits up, tossing her hair back and checking her eyes for tears before replying. "Come in."
