MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I wish everyone the best and hope that the holidays are everything you dreamed about and more.

I did the sketches above, so I own them. They are sketches of Fae!Usagi. I tried using different styles - one being drawn like in the manga, the other being like in the new anime, ect. I don't know if I did a good job on them, but this should give you an idea on how Fae!Usagi looks, face-wise that is. I really like the top one - the one above the two bottom ones. I think I did a better job on that one's hair.

Her hair is really just the same bangs with the back hair chopped off. I might try to sketch a full body picture for her later, we'll see. And of course, I did a quick sketch of Rose's mask. Might redraw that mask in full detail later too. Eh, we'll see. In any case, I hope these sketches help give you all a nice visual and a better idea on how Fae!Usagi looks in this story!

Setting; Sailor Moon - with a ton of other Phantom Thief anime/troupes mentions and elements

OC; New Female OC - called/named "Fae Rhearn" - A phantom thief - name/title is "Rose" - that uses magic to steal (Is it real magic, just tricks or both? No one knows, messing with a lot of minds this way, and she's not saying anything. All apart of the show and mystery of course.) what she wants/needs.

Death; On her last theft, was shot to death by an sniper that was apart of an underground criminal organization that had also killed her mother and stole everything from her father.

Reincarnated As; Usagi Tsukino

Pairings; ?????

This story is a mix between the newer anime/manga and the older ones - the anime and manga that is. Episodes, seasons, and events might be out of order as I try to fit them into the story, but that can be blamed on the butterfly effect. So characters might take longer or shorter to start showing up. I just want to give everyone a heads up in case you see something like an event or a character come into play earlier or later than they should. Some characters might never show up at all and some events might never happen either because of the butterfly effect and Fae!Usagi's decisions and choices throughout the story.

As for the pairing, I'm still debating. But I do know that Fae!Usagi is more likely going to flirt with everyone at least once no matter who they are - she's just a natural flirt. She has the Phantom Thief charm after all, lol. I mean, in every Phantom Thief anime, the Thief is quite the charmer or flirt, the gentlemen/gentlewoman and mysterious grace/charm, you know? So, Fae!Usagi has that too. So that'll be fun to write and imagine.

I don't want just a love triangle or anything like that - I want a relationship web. I'll make sure to explain that in more detail after more characters start coming in if you don't understand what I mean.

In any case, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

-Chapter Start-

"Just because it happened in a past life doesn't mean it happens in the next life." Phantom Thief Rose called out to the young woman on a balcony. The thief was dressed in the regular outfit. When the wind blew slightly, short dark brown hair under the top hat swayed slightly. Rose's one orange eye and one purple eye were sharp behind the mask. "You need to understand that just because she used to be you, doesn't mean she is you now! People change!"

"Destiny is a must!" The woman who looked like a princess called down, sounding like she was pleading. She had long silver hair done up in buns, looking like odangos. Her blue eyes watery and her pink lips in a sad frown. She was dressed in an white empire gown with a heavy decorated bodice, a gold bracelet on her right wrist, gold earrings, and had a golden crescent moon on her forehead. "It is her destiny to take her place as future Queen and find the Prince, to find the Crystal! The mission is her destiny!"

"Destiny is what you make it - it's the path based on your choices! It's not fate!" Rose argued back, face in a scowl. "Help her on her way, do not hinder her! Maybe she'll do what you want, maybe she won't! Maybe she'll take after me forever like how she is now - hell, maybe she'll end up becoming a trash collector instead of being like either of us and love it! In the end, it isn't up to us. All we can do is help her on the road she is creating for herself."

The white clad woman took in a deep breath, some tears falling from her eyes. Rose's scowl slowly went away.

"She is not me anymore. She is not you anymore. We stopped having the right to have any say about her future when we died. It's all up to what she wants and decides; She is the one who makes her own destiny. Not anyone else. Time changes people, the past helps shape a person. She is not like us anymore. Even if she more resembles me, she is not me anymore. With a full and happy family, one that is not broken or dead, she is more cheerful and doesn't need to wear a cheerful mask anymore like I did." Rose gently stated. "She is her own person. She has your looks and ability to love so fully, just look at how she loves her family, and has my personality." Then, Rose started to chuckle in amusement. "In a way, she's our child, born from both of our souls. A weird blend of our souls making a new one entirely. A happy accident if I do say so myself! She makes the most wonderful Phantom Thief, doesn't she? Couldn't ask for a better replacement even if I wanted to."

"Technically, she is a part of you, so she's not really a replacement." The woman sniffed with a giggle. Delicately wiping away the tears from her eyes, she opened her blue eyes once more. "I....I admit that you are right. I have no right to demand anything from her, just as you do not. Yet, I worry for the future. Evil is coming, and only she can truly stop it."

"Then give her a way to help stop it without chaining her." Rose softly pleaded, glancing at the almost eternal looking woman. "You might not understand what it is like to be chained, forced to do something, forced to feel trapped - but I'm begging you, don't force her to go through it again. She might not recall the life she lived as you, but she remembers her life as me clearly. Clearly enough that she might actually snap or do something drastic if you force her into a destiny she in no way wants or craved for herself. Isn't that more important? Not what we want, but what she wants? She is the one alive after all."

"Do not worry yourself; We'll come up with a way to make it so that she will be safe without being chained down. I do not know that pain myself, but I do not wish to force her hand like that." The woman sadly smiled to herself, hands cradled to her chest. "I only wished that I would be with my love once more. I had hope that even in the next life, we would come back together and take our rightful places. That was all I wanted....to be in my Prince's arms once more."

Rose sadly frowned as well. "I can't understand that pain, just as you can't understand my pain I suppose. I had never fallen in love. Maybe I could have fallen in love if I had more time and less pressing matters at hand." With a hum, Rose then chuckled. "What a pair we make! But I wouldn't worry - cherish the love that you had when you were alive, just as I will cherish all the lessons I had learned the hard way. While she might not fall in love with the reincarnation of your love, she will still hold that ability to love like you did while she gets to recall all the lessons that I had been forced to learn."

"My time is over.... No, our time is over." The woman giggled sadly, but her eyes were light and warm as she looked down at the Phantom Thief. "I wonder what destiny our reincarnation will make? Not even my Mother could have seen this coming!" Her smile turned warmer at this. "She'll shake things up and we'll get front row seats to see it all. Soon, many great evils will come and with it I can only hope that her story doesn't end as early as ours."

"I wouldn't worry. With how she is now, she's more likely to rob them all blind before they even know what is going on. Can you see it? The villains going to use something only to find it already stolen by our girl! Their faces would be priceless!" Rose laughed before turning serious. "But, do you understand now, Princess Serenity?"

"Yes." Princess Serenity smile was filled with sadness yet also so much happiness. "While she might have my soul, she also has yours. She is a blend of us - our child in a way, just like you said. And what kind of Mother would I be if I didn't help her make her own path? Now, the only question is how to help her with what is coming."

"I'm sure we'll come up with something. After all, it isn't like we're going anywhere any time soon." Looking up to the sky with a grin, Rose's eyes softened. "Isn't that right, Fae? No. It's not Fae anymore is it? You're no longer me after all. Usagi, isn't that right?"

Blue eyes widened as her short blond hair was ruffled by the wind - the stars all around her as she floated up high in the air. Down below her she saw the ruins of what looked like a great kingdom or city of some kind. Two people were talking - one someone she has never seen before and the other herself; from another life.

Blinking, she tried to move.

Then she dropped.

*RRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG*

---------------------------------------------------------------

*THUD*

Blue eyes blinked blankly up at the white ceiling that had roses of all colors painting on it as she laid on the red carpet that was on top of light brown wooden floor. Black sheets with grey ruffles on the edges and red roses designed on it were on the ground around her. A pale hand reached out to absently mindlessly smooth out the ruffles in her red pajama shirt and pants. 

Glancing around, she saw everything as it should be. Different shades of red in vertical lines on painted on the walls, a black wooden vanity, small black floor table, desk, red desk chair, book case, shelves, and other decorations that made the room her own. No stars or anything like that in the room.

Slowly, Usagi finally opened her mouth as she thought back to the blurry images she dreamed about. While the dream was mostly gone, she could still see Rose, herself back before this new life. That orange eye and purple eye were not hard to place. But, that woman with the silver hair, Usagi has no idea on who that can be. While she seemed familiar, it was blurry. It was like looking at someone related to you and not placing where in the family tree they are or not even knowing if they are related to you at all.

"What the fuuuuuu-"

"Usagi! Are you alright?! I heard a thud!" A female muffled voice called up, most likely from downstairs.

Shaking off the weird dream, because honestly she has had way weirder dreams than that, Usagi sat up with a smile. "I'm fine, Mom!" Usagi called down, leaping up to get ready for the day.  Hurrying to the alarm clock, Usagi smiled at seeing it was only six am, giving her plenty of time to get ready for the day and eat before going off to school. It'd even give her time to walk Shingo to his own school, which wasn't too far off from her own. It made her day being able to spend extra time with her little brother.

Little brother.

Usagi will never get tired of knowing that she has a younger sibling even years after he was born. A dream come true.

Giving out a loving sigh, she headed off to the closet and got out her female school uniform, red tights, black shoes, simple small red pearl earrings and a red choker. Time to start a new day.

Maybe she'll get an idea for a new heist today?

-----------------LATER-----------------

"Morning everyone!" Usagi beamed as she sat down at her place at the kitchen table.

"Good morning!" Both Ikuko and Kenji greeted their daughter cheerfully. Kenji's plate already empty and was reading the newspaper while Ikuko stood at the counter, packing the lunches for the day.

"Morning, Onee-Chan." Shingo greeted tiredly, already dressed and slowly eating his breakfast.

"Thanks for the food." Usagi thanked before digging in, humming in delight at the taste of the dishes in front of her.

"Oh! You're still wearing that choker, Usagi?" Kenji blinked when he noticed the red choker on his daughter's neck. Shingo jolted, face turning bright red while Usagi grinned with a chuckle. 

Ikuko giggled softly at her son's face - it was always so sweet to see how much her children care about one another, even if one won't admit it fully. Honestly she had been worried that her children would bicker like cats and dogs when she first got pregnant with Shingo, only for that fear to die the moment when she told Usagi she was going to be a big sister. The way her little girl's eyes sparkled and the love in her eyes when she was told was what made her fears die before they could even really come alive. Then, when Shingo was born, Ikuko had a lot of help in Usagi, who wanted to do everything with the then baby. The Mother swears that Usagi would have willingly raised Shingo all on her own too if she could have.

'I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family!' Ikuko beamed, finishing up the lunches by putting the bentos in their bags.

"Of course I am!" Usagi lifted a hand to lightly touch the choker, a fond look on her face as she glanced to the side where her little brother sat. "Shingo got this for me. Not as a birthday present or anything like that, but just because he wanted to." Then, she grinned widely. "I'm going to wear it until it breaks or the day I die!"

With that said, Shingo slammed his fist onto the table, making everyone stop what they were doing to look at him. He was standing, blond hair shadowing his eyes. Shaking, his head snapped up. Showing his bright red face, pout on his lips and eyes screwed shut in embarrassment.

'Stupid Onee-Sama saying things like that!' Was the only thought running through Shingo's head, making him want to just slam his face down onto the table to try and hide the redness of it. But he knew it was a lost cause - only one other way left to get out of this embarrassment.

"S-STUPID!" He screamed, rushing out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind him.

The three in the kitchen blinked as one, listening to the sound of Shingo rushing to get his shoes on and leave the house, slamming the door behind him. Once the front door slammed shut, Usagi jolted out of her shock.

"HUH?! STUPID?! WHY?!" Usagi quickly shot up, shoving the bread in her mouth and hurrying over to Ikuko, grabbing the red packed bento along with the green packed one - knowing that the red one was her's and the green was her little brother's.

Gulping down the bread, Usagi quickly went to follow Shingo.

"Bye Mom, Dad!" Usagi called out as she grabbed her school bag, glancing around to make sure that she or Shingo didn't forget anything. "I'll make sure that Shingo get's his food! Love you~!"

*BAM*

Both parents blinked once the door was slammed shut once more. Then, they glanced at one another and started to laugh.

Never a boring moment in their lives, is there?

----------OUTSIDE; WITH USAGI-----------

"Shingo!" Usagi called, running down the sidewalk, trying to find said little brother. "Wait up! You forgot your lunch!"

Glancing around, Usagi realized Shingo must have already turned the corner already. Meaning, he truly ran as fast as he could. Seems she embarrassed him more than she thought she did with her little comment. But it wasn't like it was a lie or anything.

'Honestly, Shingo's too cute with his reactions~!' Usagi smiled with a giggle - only for it to fall just as soon as it came up on her face.

"AHHHH!"

"SHINGO!" All happy thoughts left her as she started running for all she was worth down the sidewalk and to the corner where the scream came from. All she could think about was that it was happening again. Her happy family was going to be shattered in ways that no family should. She could see her mother's blood and dead body in front of her, her father's broken and dead eyes as he stared off into nothing. The parents she once had overlapped by the parents she has now, creating a devastating image in her mind. And now, she could hear Shingo' terrified scream into the mix.

If she lost this family, if she lost her brother, Usagi has a feeling she might never recover from it in any way, shape, or form.

Turning the corner swiftly, Usagi expected blood, bodies, guns, screams, fire, or even a demon coming to hurt her brother.

Instead she saw her brother cowering from a little black cat.

Nearly tripping and falling flat on her face, Usagi couldn't help but laugh silently in relief. There was no one coming to hurt her brother, no one coming to kill her family in worst ways than even death could do. Everything was fine.

She was no longer Fae. She was now Usagi - there was no need to worry about a secret organization coming after her family because of reasons unknown to her. No longer was she shackled.

Relaxing at this, Usagi got a determined gleam in her eye. Rushing forward, she made sure to position her body so that Shingo could no longer see the cat, and that the cat would have to go through her to get to Shingo if it decided it wanted to scratch him or go near him for any reason.

"There, there, Shingo~" Usagi cooed out gently, handing the green wrapped bento to her little brother. Shingo sniffed, little tears in his eyes and still shaking a bit. Running a hand through his hair, Usagi smiled gently down at the younger boy. "I won't let the cat near you, don't worry."

Giving a sniff and wiping his eyes with the back of his arm, Shingo glanced off to the side, face pink. Taking the green bento, he held it close to his chest.

"Now, why don't we get you to school? I'll walk you the whole way and make sure that no cats get near you." Chuckling, Usagi gave a wink. "Don't worry! Onee-Chan will protect you from all evil and bad things! I'm stronger than I look, you know!"

Giving a little nod, Shingo quickly latched onto her arm, making sure not to glance where the cat was. Instead, he pouted as he looked to the ground, looking more than a little embarrassed - and slightly happy.

Giggling mentally, Usagi started to walk down the sidewalk with her brother right by her, not once glancing back.

The cat blinked and watching them leave, showing red eyes and a crescent moon shape on her forehead.

'That girl.....feels different.'

The cat twitched before leaping off in the opposite direction than the two humans went.

While different, that girl wasn't who she was looking for. The feel was wrong. Not what she was looking for, but that doesn't mean she wasn't someone to keep an eye on. That aura alone was familiar yet so different. Time will only tell if this becomes a problem.

Just then, the cat paused when a girl that had blue hair cut at the shoulders and blue eyes walk past her. Red eyes watched her walk down the sidewalk.

'Have I found one of them finally?'

-----------LATER; JUBAN PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL------------

"Hey Usagi!" A girl with wavy reddish-brown hair cut into a short bob and light blue eyes beamed as the blond came into the classroom.

"Naru-Chan~!" Usagi beamed right back, rushing over to the girl only to pause. Before Naru knew what was going on, a yellow rose was offered to her. Blinking, Naru took it and looked at it for a moment. Then, she started to laugh.

"Still with the magic tricks, Usagi?" Naru giggled, twirling the rose in her hand. "You must really be a huge fan of Phantom Thief Rose then! I heard he may even have real magic, not just tricks."

Usagi smiled as she watched Naru laugh. Naru has been her best friend, someone she met when she was only four years old. The other girl was alawys kind to others, and came from a rich family too. In Usagi's eyes, her best friend was a Princess - especially as she puts up with her. Usagi knows she can be a bit much to others, so Naru still being her friend after all these years truly deserves a reward of some kind.

While the other girl doesn't know her secret identity as Rose, that doesn't mean they weren't as close as they could be. Besides, everyone thinking she was a fan, or even in love, with her other persona gives her an alibi and also gives her proof that others don't think she and Rose are one in the same.

Placing a hand over top her chest, Usagi pouted. "A fan? No! I am much more than that!" Placing a hand on her forehead, Usagi gave a dramatic swoon. "Rose has truly stolen all my attention! He's the best magician out there - something I want to be!"

Not a lie. Her being Rose has stolen a lot of her attention and she wants to be the best magician out there - and is proving she is by being Rose. Sure, no one knows it's her behind her Rose mask, but she knows that truth. And that's enough for her.

Planning a heist isn't easy any way and it takes a ton of attention to do! That type of planning, if you don't want to end up in chains and behind bars, takes time even with the experience on her side.

Shaking her head, Naru giggled at her over dramatic friend.

"Oh, Usagi-Kun!" A new voice called. Turning their heads, both girls saw Umino Gurio walking to them with a bright smile. The boy stopped by them, looking excited. "Are you excited that our exams are coming back today?" He asked, pushing his large - so large that no one can see his eyes or whole face - up.

"Ah, only you would be excited for something like that." Naru said with a sigh, crossing her arms.

Humming, Usagi glanced up to the ceiling with a thoughtful look. "Well, it was an English exam, right? The one we're getting back? If that's the case, then I should be fine."

----------------------------------------

'100% Perfect!'

"See, I told you all I'd be fine!" Usagi laughed at the deadpanned looks she got in return. Lifting the paper, it showed a perfect score. She was one of the only ones to get such a high score in her class, even beating out Umino. But, it was kind of a given.

Usaig is after all, fluent in English and some other languages - or, at the least, passable. Some of the things she has stolen wasn't always in Japan, and other times she had to learn another language to be able to steal something or find out info. It also helped that she could recall her past schooling in her other life. Cheating in a way, but Usagi can more than live with that if it makes her life easier as she goes about being Phantom Thief Rose once more. With all this knowledge in her head, it means less nights studying or worry about exams.

And it doesn't mean she can't be proud of her grades. She still worked hard on them after all.

"Aw! That's so not far!" Yumiko, a girl with long black hair and brown eyes, whined with a pout, looking at her own 84%.

"Do you even study at all?" Kuri, a girl with short light brown hair and light brown eyes, asked with a concentrating look on her face. Her own exam showed a 88%.

"To get even a higher grade than me...." Umino lowly moaned, a dark cloud hanging over him as he slumped on the bench - looking like he gave up on the world itself. "I didn't study a lot this time - but next I'll surely get a higher score!"

Sweat dropping at them all, Naru couldn't help but sigh at them all. Here they were supposed to be eating lunch outside, taking in the nice outdoor weather, and still talking about their exams. All it did was remind her she needed to study more. Slumping a little, she jolted when an arm wrapped around her shoulders. Quickly looking up, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw it was Usagi.

"So, Naru, how's everything been for you?" Usagi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, with all the jewel robbers, I've been worried about the jewelry store." Naru admitted with a worried look on her face just thinking about it. "It's one thing if it was just Phantom Thief Rose we needed to look out for, he at least will steal just about anything for any reason, but a lot more robbers have been aiming just for jewelry stores lately."

"At least Sailor V is around to take some of them down." Umino stated with a grin, dark cloud going away. "I heard that she may be apart of the special police force!"

With a frown, Usagi thought to what she knew about Sailor V, which admittedly wasn't much. The girl came out of nowhere and seemed to only go after certain criminals. Because not once has she came after Rose - which was weird because Rose was quickly becoming one of the most elusive criminals there is. And Rose has stolen his fair share of jewels too. So that just means that Sailor V is looking for a certain criminal or gang.

Usagi had once had to target only certain objects to steal to try and take that organization down. She can see the dots and connect them easily. Unless Rose somehow comes up on Sailor V's radar, or gets connected to the ones she wants to bring down, then she won't come after Rose at all. Which is what she wants. Besides, Usagi can't help but wonder if Sailor V actually has the rights to preform an arrest. Not that she wants to find out any time soon, but it would be an interesting battle and show if it came down to it.

"Oh, that's right!" Kuri gasped in realization. "You Mom owns and runs a jewelry store, right?"

Naru nodded with a hum, while Yumiko clapped her hands together.

"I know I shouldn't think this," Yumiko started, glancing up to the sky. "but I kind of understand them. All those pretty jewels...."

"I know right." Usagi sighed in agreement, one hand cupping her cheek as she closed her eyes just imagining all the jewels that she has stolen or can steal. But this whole situation kind of made her want to laugh out loud, so she had to stop herself by biting her lip.

It's kind of hilarious and ironic that they are all talking about this around an actual Phantom Thief who has stolen more jewels than they could count.

"You know, Mom's running a discount sale." Naru told them all with a sweet smile. "Some of the jewelry is now affordable! I think she's trying to new sales tacit to bring in new customers - not just the more wealthy."

"Really?!" Kuri leaned forward excitedly, beaming brightly. "I'll stop by then!"

Yumiko wasn't far behind, looking like she could start hopping in place by how excited she looked. "Me too!"

Usagi smiled, glancing away for a moment. For as long as she has known Naru, not once has she actually been over to the jewelry shop or even met her parents. A weird thing when you think about it, but they just mostly hung out either at Usagi's place, around in the city, or at school. So, going would give her the perfect opportunity to see what kind of jewelry there was.

Stealing from a friend was wrong - unless said friend stole it and you're stealing it back. But the thing is that if Usagi stole from the shop if something caught her eye, it would get more business. Rose was slowly getting more and more popular, and come word is out that Rose stole something from a certain place - that place gets more visitors and customers than ever. People want to know what's so great about the place, why Rose would want to steal something from it even if it's obvious why. They want to be in the same place as Rose was, even if Rose was long gone by that point.

Even if Usaig steals something expensive, the shop would make some great money and PR. So, she doesn't feel guilty if she does decide to go with it. After all, it's not like Naru has emotional attachment to any of the pieces in the shop - her mother is selling them for a reason.

"I'll go too!" Usagi beamed, sharing a smile with her best friend, Naru.

Maybe there was one piece in the shop that would make a great addition to her growing collection?

------------AFTER SCHOOL; AT OSA-P---------------

"Well, this is fancy." Usagi chuckled, looking up at the building before going to the shop's window that showed some pieces of jewelry. Turning her head a bit, she wiggled her eyebrows at Naru as she passed her. "you've been holding out on me! Shame, if I knew I would have asked this sooner. Naru-Chan, why don't you marry me~?"

"Usagi!" Naru giggled, used to her friend's antics by now. "You're such a flirt!"

"I'm more than just a flirt you know." Usagi pouted a bit, drooping down theatrically.

"Usagi, on the first day of class you did a magic trick and flirted with Sakurada-Sensei, you know, the one where suddenly there is a bouquet of flowers in your hands when a second ago there wasn't one?" Naru raised a disbelieving eyebrow and smiled at her dramatic friend who was acting wounded at her words. "You gave her those flowers and said you were happy that you got such a pretty and kind looking teacher."

"Hey, I didn't say I wasn't a flirt." Usagi rubbed the back of her neck with a chuckle. "I just said I'm not just a flirt. I'll have you know there is more to me than magic and flirting!"

"Mhm." Naru just hummed with a giggle. "Sure there is."

'If only you knew.' Usagi mentally laughed, turning her attention to the shop's window where Yumiko was pressed up close to it, trying to get a better look at all the sparkling jewelry, only to freeze at the sight of a certain necklace.

"The middle one is a Pigeon's Blood Ruby, it's worth one billion yen!" Naru explained to her friends, noticing them looking at the necklace. "Of course, this one is not discounted."

Taking in the sparkling red gem stones, the shinning pearls holding it all together, and the small gold details, Usagi knew right away what she was looking at.

That Pigeon's Blood Ruby necklace was her next steal - and she was going to get it tonight. Meaning, she had a lot of work to do. Humming, Usagi followed the others into the store, thinking about how to quickly slip away without anyone being suspicious.

Seeing how crowded it was, Usagi soon figured she could stay a moment or two before leaving. And if anyone asks, she would just say the shop was too crowded for her. Besides, she wanted to see her little brother and show her parents her English Exam scores, didn't she? Sometimes the best excuses are the simple ones.

"That's a lot of people." Kuri noted in awe, looking at the crowed of woman pretty much ransacking a table filled with discounted jewelry.

"Step right up! We are having a crazy sale!" A woman dressed in a tight fitting black and gold dress called out. Her slightly curly hair was done perfectly, curing around her face, and she wore very expensive looking jewelry. All in all, this woman looked every bit the owner - especially since she had the same color hair and eyes as Naru, showing that they were related.

"Mom, I'm back." Naru called out, taking a step forward and gaining the woman's attention.

"Oh, welcome home, Naru-Chan." Osaka-San smiled as she turned. She glanced to the girls in the same uniform as Naru. "Your friends?"

"Yes." Naru hummed out happily.

This just made Osaka-San smile and giggle lightly, looking to the girls that were beside Naru. "It's crowded but see if you can find something you like." Osaka-San told them, closing her eyes with a bright smile. "I will give your friends a special discount!"

With that said, Usagi blinked and Yumiko and Kuri were gone. It was like a disappearing magic trick - one moment the girls were right beside her, the next they were both at the chaotic table, hectically searching from something to buy.

"Don't push! We've got plenty for all of you!" Osaka-San called out to the group, keeping a close eye on them all.

Yumiko was beaming as she searched around, trying to find something that caught her eye. Eventually, Kuri found a small, pretty ring. Lifting it up, she stepped away from the crowd to admire it.

"This is so cute!" Kuri gushed, eyes sparkling. "Since I did well on my exam, I'll ask Dad to buy it."

Looking at the crowd, Usagi couldn't help but feel glad she's a thief. Sure, there's a chance of being arrested and locked away for life, but at least she gets the more expensive stuff completely free. All she has to do it plan it all and hope that luck is on her side while she puts on a show for everyone to enjoy. Besides a certain Detective and Police Chief of course.

"We've never had these type of sales before..." Naru muttered before glancing of to Usagi, who glanced back. "I wonder if this is a new tacit to get new clients?"

Usagi glanced around at everyone before looking back at her friend. "I mean, she's getting more business, that's for sure." Then she winked as she walked back to the door. "Maybe all this attention will attract a certain someone to the store?"

Naru snorted lightly, waving her off.

Giving a wave, Usagi sighed as she started to think about what she needs to do to get ready for a sudden heist.

'First things first; A note letting Detective Yuki and Chief Kosei know where and when. Next; Getting my homework done-' Usagi started to list off in her mind, only to make herself freeze - stopping instinctively before she ran into a taller guy.

"Oh, sorry about that!" Usagi laughed, almost doing a double take when she looked at who she almost ran into. A tall guy with black short hair, dressed in a old-fashioned black suit, white dress shirt and had sunglasses on. She couldn't see his eyes because of the sunglasses, but that was okay.

Unknown to her, blue eyes hidden behind those sunglasses were staring at her in pure shock for reasons unknown.

'This guys suit is amazing!' Just looking at it made her want to either find out where he bought it, or sew it together herself. As for why the other is wearing a suit in the afternoon, Usagi didn't question it. Not her business and she didn't know the guy's life. Could be cosplay, could be anything, and she wouldn't care to be honest.

Seeing how she wasn't getting a response, Usaig shrugged and walked away. She had too much to do right now to stop for small talk or force someone to talk to her.

'I won't even have time to stop and talk to Motoki-Nii. I hope he doesn't have any info for me.' Usagi mentally sighed, hoping this wasn't the case. This heist was going to be a short one, she'll have to cut the time of the show.

Shaded blue eyes watched her walk away, only for the owner to turn and look at the jewelry store she just came out of.

Tilting his sunglasses down, he looked up at the sign of the shop.

"This is a big jewelry store." He lowly mused to himself, a slow smile working it's way up his mouth. "I wonder if they have it..."

"The "Legendary Silver Crystal"."

--------------LATER; WITH USAGI-----------------

"A perfect score!" Ikuko gasped, clasping her hands together in delight. "That's wonderful, Usagi!"

"Thanks, Mom." Usagi smiled at how happy her Mom was as she took off her shoes and put on her red house slippers. Glancing around, she noticed that she couldn't hear other footsteps or muffled voices. "Is anyone else home?" She asked as she finally got her slippers on.

"Your Father is still at work, he's working late tonight." Ikuko explained, looking over the exam in her hands. "Shingo is still not back yet. I think he's hanging out with his friends at the park and will be back at dark. If he's not back by then, I'll call him and let you go get him."

"Then I'll eat something quick and head off to bed, after I finish my homework of course." Usagi said, heading off to the stairs. "I'm a bit tired today."

'Getting that letter done so quickly and getting every in place for them to find it really took a lot out of me.' Usagi mentally sighed, glancing off to the side. 'A nap before the heist sounds like the best thing in the world then.'

She really hopes that the police officers and detectives like all the hard work and thought she puts into the notice letters.

-------------POLICE STATION-------------

Detective Yuki hummed, lifting his coffee to take a sip of it and finally relaxing at his desk. It had taken a few hours, but finally he could feel some of the stress from having to deal with so much crap weighing off of him.

'Ahhh. Finally, some relaxation.' Detective Yuki thought to himself, smiling as the mug came to his lips.

*POOF~!*

Detective Yuki looked at his hand with wide eyes. Gone was his mug filled with coffee. It disappeared in pink smoke that had colorful confetti coming out of it. Instead was a red note with black writing on it and a red rose border design.

- "Tonight at 11:30 pm I will be stealing the Pigeon's Blood Ruby necklace within the OSA-P jewelry store. I invite you to my little magic show! Guests are more than welcome.

Sincerely,

Phantom Thief Rose" -

His coffee was gone and never coming back most likely.

Relaxation was never to come because he doesn't get nice things.

All that stress he got rid of came back with a vengeance, along with more added stress too.

That damn thief was forever taunting him.

Gently putting down the note, not even questioning where his mug has gone too, Detective Yuki stood up and went to the window. Placing his hands behind his back in tight fists, Detective Yuki suddenly shot his head up to look at the ceiling, pure anger in his eyes as he started to yell with all his might.

"THAT NO GOOD BASTAR-"

------------------WITH USAGI----------------------

"Oh, before you go up, do you want something?" Ikuko beamed at her daughter. "For doing so well on your exam, I think you deserve a reward of some kind."

Usagi blinked, thinking about it. There wasn't anything she truly needed or wanted. If she wanted something, she could just steal it after all. But, after a few moments, she realized there was something that she couldn't steal. Well, she could steal them, but may not be able to keep them because of her parents.

"A pet!" Usagi clapped her hands in delight just thinking about having one. Eyes sparkling, she thought to all the different kinds of animals that could be a perfect pet for her and her family. Not a cat of course, Shingo would be terrified and she didn't want to torment him with having one of his main fears living with him.

"A pet?" Ikuko blinked. Tapping a finger on her chin, the Mother of the household thought about the request. "I suppose it wouldn't be trouble. You are responsible enough to take care of a pet, we have the money to look after one, and I wouldn't mind taking care of the pet when you are gone. It'd give me company too." Humming thoughtfully for a moment, Ikuko smiled as she reached her decision. "A family pet would be a nice change of pace! Do you have one in mind already?"

Usagi shook her head. "No. I don't want a cat - Shingo wouldn't be able to handle that. And getting a bunny would just be asking for some jokes." Usagi pouted at that. She'd love to have an actual bunny to pull out of her hat, but with a name actually meaning "Bunny" owning a bunny would invite some jokes at her expense. "I'll go to the pet stores and shelters later to see if I can't find a good family pet."

"Take your time. I'll be sure to tell your Father about this, as well as Shingo once he gets home." Ikuko giggled, waving off her daughter who was quick to rush up the stairs.

---------------LATER------------------

Sighing, Usagi flopped onto her bed after rushing to finish her homework. Luckily it was things that she could recall learning before dying, so it wasn't that hard to do. Setting an alarm on her red cell phone, she made sure it was on vibrate and placed it on the bed, right by her head. To sneak out and get to the store before the police and detectives arrive, she would need to make sure that no one sees her or hears her get up.

Closing her eyes, Usagi let sleep take her easily.

---------------??????------------------

Blinking her eyes opened, Usagi nearly screamed when she saw the destruction all around her. Buildings crumbled, swords with blood on them all around the floor. The only thing that was missing was dead bodies. It looked like the aftermath of a great battle of some kind.

"Hello, Usagi-Chan."

Swiftly turning, Usagi was ready to get out her card gun only to freeze.

Right in front of her was that silver haired woman that she had dreamed about before. Only this time, the Rose she once was nowhere in sight.

The woman smiled gently at her, and it was almost scary on how much they look alike. But looking like others comes with Usagi's job and hobby - dressing up as others can be apart of a show after all. But she had a feeling this wasn't the case here.

"You will never truly awaken. Not with how Fae and Rose has awakened first and will always be in the forefront of your mind and soul." The woman sadly smiled at this. "But, that may be for the best. Over a thousand years, times have changed. There is no need to bring it all back, is there?"

Usagi may not know what was going on, but she did know that this woman in front of her looked like someone just killed all her dreams and hopes. While she might be a thief, she wasn't about to just let someone wallow in their sadness like that.

"I don't know what's going on, but it'll be fine. Whatever you are talking about may not come back to you, but maybe you can get or make something better?" Usagi gently smiled, looking more like the woman in front of her with it on her face. "Everything will work out eventually, you just have to work for it and fight for it! It just can't come to you, you know."

"Make....something better." The woman slowly said, looking up at the sky. "Yes....that is what this is. Something better than even fate could bring. It is time to help make something better than what has happened so long ago."

Then, the woman's eyes quickly snapped back to Usagi's, making the teen jolt. Those eyes, while gentle and loving, held a new edge to them.

"You will never fully awaken." She repeated her words from before, a strong glint growing in her eyes. "But still, you have the power. It might look different, it might sounds different, but the effects will be the same.

"Call upon the power of the moon if you ever run into evil that needs to be punished." The woman lightly said, but each word holding a meaning that Usagi couldn't truly understand. The woman lifted a hand, gently cupping Usagi's cheek in it. Smiling lovingly, the woman's eyes held a sad tint to them. "The power is within you. You can fight with it, and the magic you use will help you. You just have to call upon it, and it is your's to use."

"Princess, time is almost up."

Eyes widening, Usagi jerked her head out of the hand holding it gently and turned around.

There stood Phantom Thief Rose; Orange and Purple eyes twinkling at her as a secretive smile played on the lips.

"Usagi, Good luck on your next heist." Rose winked with a laugh. "Dazzle everyone with your magic, won't you?"

"What's going on-!?" Usagi tried to ask, only for everything to blur together. "What-!?"

*VVVVVVRRRRRRRRR*

-----------------------------------

Jerking up, the teen nearly fell off her bed as she took in a stuttering breath. Heart pounding, she placed a hand over top her chest where her heart should be. Eyes quickly looking around, she didn't see anything off about her room.

Holding her head, Usagi frowned as she tried to make sense of just what she saw in her dream.

'Just what was going on? Seeing who I used to be, some Princess apparently, and calling upon the power of the moon of all things?' If she had been a normal teen, she might have been able to brush all this off as a weird dream. But living the life she did and still kind of does, Usagi can't just push it off. Not when there is a huge chance that this means something important. 'What does all this mean? Why was Rose there, the old Rose that I used to be? He shouldn't have been there. And this Princess that looked so much like me, is she related to me or something-'

*VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRR*

Flinching, Usagi quickly shut off the alarm on her phone - seeing that she had an hour before she even had to head off to the jewelry shop.

Yet....

Clinching the fabric of her shirt, Usagi could feel her heart beating wildly. A forbidding feeling crawling up her spine as she thought about waiting. A bad feeling, one she had felt many times in her past life, was warning her about something.

Let it be said that Usagi has learned the hard way about listening to her instincts. She wasn't about to ignore them after all that pain she went through learning it the first time.

Without even thinking about it, Usagi quickly went to her window and opened it - glancing around to make sure no one was watching.

It's time for Rose to make his appearance once more.

------------OSA-P----------------

"Mom, what's wrong?" Naru asked in horror at the sight before her, cowering near the door that lead upstairs into their home above the shop. But all the woman did was laugh and walk closer. "Stop it!" Naru cried out, praying that this was all just a nightmare.

"Your Mom is sleeping in the basement." The woman who was impersonating her mother just laughed cruelly, walking closer. Her eye whites turning red, and finger nails sharpening like knives.

Gasping, Naru flinched back and gaped at the woman before her.

"I can't let you live since you saw my secret!" The woman stated, her face and whole body turning grey, ears going into points, teeth sharpening like a shark, the colors of yellow on her forehead and chest, face changing into something more sharper and less human like - her body going stick thin.

Unnoticed by all, two figures slipped into the shop on opposite ends of the store. One quickly hiding behind the edge of a wall and watching everything, and the other quickly getting out a weapon.

"NO!" Naru cried, back hitting the door as tears fell down her face.

*BANG*

Flinching back, the hag cursed as something flew by her and cut her hand that had been reaching out for the girl. Naru blinked in shock, tears rushing down her face as she glanced to the wall - where a playing card that had the Queen of Hearts on it was, the card. The card had been shot so hard that it was half in the wall and half out.

"Who-!?" The Hag called out, only to freeze once she looked up.

Right in front of the front door of the store stood a lone figure, somehow getting there without anyone noticing, and bathed in the moonlight. A red tail coat stood out against the dark as the figure aimed the gun towards her.

"I-It's Phantom Thief Rose!" Naru whispered out in awe and hope. Never before has she ever seen the thief in person, but he was well known to be a good person even if he steals for fun most of the time. She had read news articles about him stealing back items for others and saving lives of others before.

With him here, she might have a chance to actually make it out of this alive.

"I'd step away if I was you." Rose said in a slightly deep and smooth voice, a smirk on his face as he tilted his head up a bit. "It's be a shame if you hurt the princess now, wouldn't it?"

"P-Princess!" Naru blushed bright red, tears long forgotten as she tried to calm down.

"Phantom Thief Rose....?" The Hag muttered, narrowing her eyes. "I've heard of you; A thief that steals in the night, giving the public a show and leading the police on a merry little chase." Eyes narrowing deeper, suspicion arouse. "Are you too.....after the Legendary Silver Crystal?"

The hidden figure stiffened, frowning and leaning forward to get a better look at what was going on.

"What I am after and what I steal is none of your business." Rose stated without missing a beat. While he honestly had no idea on what this crystal is, or even if it is actually a crystal at all, he wasn't about to let this....creature know this fact. Better to leave them guessing until the end, gives him a better advantage. "What is my business though, is you trying to hurt the poor princess over there."

"Tch!" The Hag scowled, quickly raising her arm, showing that she had been holding a cylinder that was filled with a white light that shone red. "Well, you find it here!" The Hag then started to laugh. "In fact, you won't find it at all when I'm done with you! Wake up, all the servants who contributed their energies to our great master!"

'Great....master?' Now, Rose has been through a lot of things in his life - and past life. And someone usually saying something to do or deals with a 'master' of some kind usually means something bad. Suddenly, footsteps sounded out. Jerking around, Rose scowled at seeing other people coming in - eyes glowing red.

This could get bad. Rose didn't want to harm innocents - it's his one rule above all others.

"Get him!" The Hag called out, grinning widely. Naru gasped in horror, watching the possessed women coming closer to the thief.

Narrowing his eyes, Rose swiftly dodged the hands that tried to claw him or grab him. Calculating what was going on, Rose suddenly hid a smirk. Twirling out of the way of another hand trying to grab him, he suddenly stopped, raising a hand and brightly smiling - making the others confused.

"It's showtime!" Rose called out, dramatically taking off his hat, showing the short blond hair under it fully. Bowing a bit, he smirked charmingly. "Welcome to the early show, ladies!"

With that, he lifted the hat so that the inside was showing. A bright light, then little balls started coming out of it! The possessed woman had no time to dodge before the little balls hit them. As they tried to move, the balls exploded upon impact, showing that it was some type of glue or goop that made them stick to where they stood.

Turning to the Hag, Rose tried to think of a quick idea that would take her down. He wasn't for sure if the police could actually arrest her - he wasn't even sure if she was human. But then that left little to no options for him-

{"Call upon the power of the moon if you ever run into evil that needs to be punished.The power is within you. You can fight with it, and the magic you use will help you. You just have to call upon it, and it is your's to use."}

'That's it!' Rose's eyes widened. Taking out his card gun once more, the cross-dressing girl hoped that this would actually work - if not, then she was out of ideas.

Naru frowned when she saw Rose stopping, only to go wide eyed when he rose his arm that held the card gun, the moonlight bathing him and made him seem like he was glowing.

"Underneath this moonlight," Rose began, the moonlight growing stronger on him. "by the power within me," The card gun he held started to glow, growing stronger and stronger with every word said. "granted by the moon," The crescent moon in the sky shinned down harder. "by the magic I use," Swiftly bringing down the gun and aiming it, Rose's eyes narrowed into a glare, a grim yet still charming smirk on his face. "I will discipline you!"

A gloved covered finger didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

With a bang, a card unlike any the thief shot before came out at high speeds. The card shinned and glowed a bright yellow as it moved to the target, a crescent moon wrapped up in red roses seemed to be elegantly painted on a blank black card. It felt of power and something unlike anything Rose had ever felt before. This was a new magic trick that not even he knew how was going to end.

"AHHHHH!" The Hag screamed out in pure anger and pain as the card passed right through her, nicking into the wall right behind her. The Hag briefly glowed a bright yellow as well, but soon screamed once more as she turned into clay. Loosing all her colors and features, the now clay figure turned silent before finally falling to the ground into clumps - looking like she had never been alive to start with.

With the Hag gone, so was the power she held over the women. The ones who were possessed closed their eyes which had turned back to their usual colors, slumping down into the stuff that still held them still. Going back to sleep.

Naru quickly got up, stumbling as soon as she did. Closing her eyes tightly, she expected to face plant onto the floor, only for strong arms to catch her gently.

"Ah!" Gasping, Naru's head shot up to see Rose holding her to his chest lightly, his top hat back on once more. The thief smiled down at her, helping her stand up.

"You should be more careful, princess." He said in a soothing voice, letting go and taking a few steps back when she was stable on her feet. "My trick should disappear within a few hours at the most." He tilted his head to the goop/glue that held the women in place.

"T-Thank you for saving me!" Naru rushed out to say, face red and her heart pounding rapidly at the smile she got.

'W-What's.....going on.' Hand going to her chest, Naru tried to calm her heart down without success.

"Then, as thanks, I'll be taking this." Naru gasped loudly as Rose suddenly moved his hand in an intricate way, only for the Pigeon's Blood Ruby necklace to appear in his hands! Rose gave a wink with a smirk. "I'll be taking my leave now, princess."

"W-Wait!" Naru called out, stumbling forward to try and stop him - only for him to disappear in pink smoke, colorful confetti and streamers. Coughing, Naru frowned as she looked around. Her eye eventually landed on the card that Rose had shot to destroy the creature that had been threatening her. Tugging at it sharply, the card came out of the wall and looked to be undamaged.

Biting her lip, face flushed red, she thought back to the thief that just ran off with a necklace that was worth one billion yen.

'Why....Why won't my heart stop pounding...?'

Sirens suddenly came from outside, jolting her back into the present. She blinked, about to head outside when she caught sight of the clay once more. Eyes widening, she turned swiftly and started running to the door that lead to the basement.

"MOM!"

---------OUTSIDE; ON OSA-P'S ROOF----------

Chuckling, Rose hummed as he took in the necklace in his hand. It sparkled in the moonlight.

Glancing to the side, he could start to hear the sounds of police sirens. It looks like his usually show would have to be a very short one. Maybe he can make the clocks go forwards a bit to make them all think they came late?

A noise, one so very soft that no one would have noticed, made Rose swiftly jerk around - only to still in pure confusion, anger, and dumbfoundedness.

Right across the roof stood a guy dressed in a black suit, white dress shirt, a duel colored cape, and a very simple white masquerade mask. All in all, the guy was dressed a little too much like Rose for comfort.

'Oh my Kami-Sama, an impostor!' With wide eyes, Rose couldn't believe this was happening again. Sure, he knew that once you get to a certain point, impostors and wannabes were going to be a given. In the last life, many tried to ruin Rose's image by trying to trick others into thinking they were the Phantom Thief. One even went so far to kill over a dozen people, trying to make others think that Rose was some kind of murderer. Luckily, Rose and others quickly got the guy caught and arrested.

Long story short; Rose does not have good experiences with impostors and he had a feeling this wasn't about to change anytime soon.

When the other opened his mouth - Rose knew for sure that this fact wasn't going to change anytime soon.

"Phantom Thief Rose, have you stolen the Legendary Silver Crystal?" The man asked, taking a step forward. Although the question sounded more like a demand, making something in Rose bristle.

Frowning, Rose tilted his head as he stuffed the necklace he just stole into his coat. "That is name I have only recently heard." Was all he would say on the matter. He wasn't about to openly admit that he has only heard that name tonight, but he can give a hint that he hasn't stolen it....yet. Time will only see if he actually goes hunting for whatever this crystal they are talking about. Hell, he might accidentally steal it if he doesn't know what it is now that he is thinking about. Just because it is called a silver crystal doesn't mean it actually is one.

"Give up on it!" The man demanded, straightening up to his full height.

"And just who are you to give me demands?" Rose demanded right back, a hard frown on his face.

"I am Tuxedo Mask." The man stated plainly, making Rose hold back a snort. That was a very obvious name, because that title was just him stating what he was wearing. Tuxedo Mask didn't notice Rose's inner humor and went on. "I am the one who will find the Legendary Silver Crystal. I won't allow you to steal it!"

Lifting up the card gun once more, Rose felt more than a little annoyed. "Listen here you impostor, I don't take demands from anyone! Let alone the guy that is trying to steal from me!"

Just as Rose called that, a little louder than he should have, lights were suddenly on the two. Both jerked to look down to see the police and detectives were in place, having lights shown on them so that both were able to be seen.

-------------------------------

"On no!" Detective Yuki moaned, grabbing his hair and looking one second away from pulling it all out. "There's more of him now! What did I do to deserve this?!"

"There isn't two of him - it's just an impostor. You heard Phantom Thief Rose himself call it out. And by the sounds of it, he is as unhappy as you." Chief Kosei tried assured his friend - it didn't work, the man looked horrified that he was even remotely feeling the same thing as the person he wants behind bars. - before looking to some of the officers. "Surround the building! And try to get someone on that roof!"

"Yes, Sir!" They saluted before rushing off.

"Now we have to deal with wannabe impostors...." Detective Yuki groaned, wanting nothing more than for all this insanity to just end. "What's next? Magical girls?!"

"Sir!" A officer called out as he rushed out of the building. "The necklace is already gone!"

"WHAT?!" Detective Yuki yelled out in shock.

Chief Kosei hummed, looking thoughtfully at the two on the roof. "Maybe the impostor tried to steal it before Rose could - leading him to do his 'show' earlier then planned?"

That calmed down Detective Yuki a bit. "That would make sense." He roughly agreed, scrowlling. "But that means now, we have to get it back! MEN, GET READY!"

"YES, SIR!"

---------------------------------

"Seems our little stand off will have to wait." Rose smiled - it was all teeth. "The next time you decide you want to try and steal from me, think again."

"You-!" Tuxedo Mask rushed forward, only to catch nothing but pink smoke. Coughing, Tuxedo mask heavily frowned.

'I can't let him get it!' Hand tightening into a fist, Tuxedo Mask glanced down at the police officers before swiftly jumping to the next roof - escaping as quickly as he can.

'I have to be the first to find the Legendary Silver Crystal!'

--------?????----------

"Phantom Thief Rose, huh?" A man dressed in some type of military uniform and standing in a dark place said thoughtfully, looking at an image of the very thief he was talking about in an orb. "Not bad at all! But, he could quickly become a problem."

"I must get the "Legendary Silver Crystal" as soon as possible." Eyes suddenly narrowed into a glare. "By any means necessary."

--------------THE NEXT DAY; JUBAN PUBLIC MIDDLE SCHOOL----------------

"-and then he called me 'Princess'!" Naru gushed, face bright red as she cupped her own face and explained to her two friends friends what had happened the other night. "Phantom Thief Rose is truly a gentleman!"

"Hehe! Seems like someone fell in love~!" Kuri laughed, but Yumiko looked a bit more skeptical.

"Are you sure that really all happened?" Yumiko asked with a raised eyebrow. "Maybe you passed out and dreamed all that up?"

Hidden behind a corner, Usagi sighed, thinking about what had happened that night.

'I didn't mean to make Naru get a crush on me - or rather, my alter-ego.' Sweat dropping for a moment, Usagi quickly shook that off. Those type of things happened while on the job. It wasn't like she could control who felt what, she'll just have to deal with it or come let it happen. It wasn't like she, or better yet Rose, was in love with Naru. So everything should work it's way out eventually.

What she really should be thinking about is that power she used, the Hag-like creature that she technically killed even if it only turned out to be clay, and that wannabe impostor that seems to think she either stole something he wants or was in the process of stealing it.

'Not only does he steal my looks, but he thinks he can just tell me what I can and can not steal?!' Usagi frowned as she stood up from where she was leaning on the wall. 'Just what is a guy running around dressed like Rose?! What is he trying to pull? Obviously he wants this crystal badly - but so did that creature. What kind of hunt is going on? Usually when a lot of people want one thing badly, it usually has a myth of power surrounding it. So, what does this would be crystal grant? Immortality? Power? The ability to read minds? Fortune and riches?' Humming, Usagi turned the corner finally, mind twisting to try and find an answer for all this. All she knows is that this guy was barking up the wrong tree - she'd make sure that no one would out steal her or let someone take Rose's place at the top.

Suddenly, a finger was in her face. Quickly taking a step back, Usagi blinked when she saw her best friend Naru standing there, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Usagi's nose.

"From this day onward Usagi, we're love rivals!" Naru grinned good-naturally, but her eyes showing determination. "I'm going to be the one that steals away Phantom Thief Rose's love for myself! I won't give up even for you! I'm gong to be his Princess!" Then she winked. "I'm already ahead of you too~. I've met him face to face and he even calls me his 'Princess'~! Rose is going to be my Prince~!"

"Wh...." Usagi blinked, confused and shocked at what is going on. "WHAT?!"

Unnoticed by the group of laughing girls and one very confused girl, a girl with blue hair and eyes walked by, a certain black cat hidden in her bag.

The cat's ear twitched, red eyes going wide at what she heard.

'Princess and Prince?!' Eyes narrowing, the cat frowned. 'Could those two be...?'

'Could those two be the ones we're looking for?'

-End Chapter-

"Discipline" is a synonym to "Punish/Punishment". I wanted Fae!Usagi to say something different than her canon counterpart.

In the old Sailor Moon, Shingo had a fear/phobia of cats. Because of this, there is no way Fae!Usagi is going to be around a cat or bring one near Shingo, let alone home.

Rose called Naru "princess" because even if she doesn't know it, they are best friends and Naru has always reminded her of a princess in a way. Just Rose being the usual flirt you could say, not really meaning anything out of it.

Fae, in her last life, had short dark brown hair and Heterochromia - meaning one eye was one color, and the other eye was a different color. Two different colored eyes. Her eyes being orange and purple. Ironic in a way, because orange is the opposite of blue on the color wheel. It's also common in a way for a main character in a anime to have heterochromia, or at least more common than in the real world, and as Fae used to live in a different anime world before she was reborn, I thought it fit. She also had short dark brown hair - hair being as short as it is now in this life. She always had short hair, because in her mind, it's easier and works for her better.

Fae spent most of her time, and the more memorable times as Rose than as her civilian persona. Thus, her old life as Rose will more likely show up when her past life as Fae has to talk to her or she sees/recalls a memory from then.

Usagi is the reincarnation of both Princess Serenity and of Fae/Rose. Meaning, because of a mishap, both souls combined into Usagi, making how she is right now. Back when she was just Fae, she never fell in love with anyone. Maybe an attraction to some people, crushes, but never in love. She fell in love with being Rose though, and loved her family as much as she could given her past, but never in love with another person before. 

So, from Serenity, she got some of the powers in the canon show, only is a different way here. Instead of a tiara, she uses her card gun - an idea I got from Kaito Kid - to destroy the bad guys. The power of the moon is powered up in the card gun before she shoots - shooting out a card that has a crescent moon on it and if it hits one of the bad guys, or someone else, it does deal damage and/or destroys them. Later, more powers from Serenity's side will start coming in. 

Of course, she has many tricks up her sleeve as well other than that - mostly from Fae's side. And because she recalls being Fae so much clearly than anything else, she is more like Fae in personality and knows everything that Fae knew before her death. So, Usagi got Fae's/Rose's knowledge/mind you could say. A blend in a way although Usagi clearly takes after Fae more than Serenity.

Because of this, Luna can not sense Usagi as a Sailor Scout. She is more than just a Sailor Scout and Princess after all - she's mostly Rose/Fae - and thus, her aura feels very different. Luna can tell Usagi is different, but not how different or why this is.

Also, if no one can tell; Fae's favorite color is red, with black being a close second. Just a fun little fact for no one who notices. Which, is pretty funny when you think about the fact that Canon!Usagi's favorite color is white. Makes for an interesting parallel in a way. Fae!Usagi is also just dramatic and can be over the top and extra in how she acts. She's not a crybaby like Canon!Usagi.

Shingo is a bit of a tsundere, not going to lie, lol. It's why he calls Usagi "Onee-Sama" in his head and only when alone, never around her or others - the most respectful way she can be called "Older Sister". He's just being tsundere when he acts cold to her, and she knows this. She's just that over the top and extra you could say. He is very close to her too. Doesn't help that she spoils him either too, lol. Let's just say that whoever decides to go after Usagi's love is going to have to either go through Shingo or get his blessings, lol. He's not about to share his big sister with just anyone after all.

Tuxedo Mask really has no idea what he has started. Rose isn't about to let this impostor and wannabe steal from him(the gender most others, including Tuxedo Mask, think she is) or his looks. The other wants to wear a black top hat too, fine. But Usagi isn't about to let this weirdo steal her thunder or anything like that. Better yet, she is not about to let this guy steal from her period. It would have been fine if it was just him stealing her look and wearing the black top hat, cosplay is a thing after all, but no, the guy then has to think she stole something she never did or was trying to steal what he wanted - trying to actually fight her for whatever he wanted even though she has no idea what it is, because she sure as hell has never heard of this crystal before in the lives she recalls living in. Who does this wannabe think he is?

In Rose's/Usagi's mind; This. Means. War.

Safe to say, this version of Usagi does not like Tuxedo Mask at all.
