SAILORMOON: DARK JEWEL
by: Marie Kelly
Author's Notes

All right, here a few notes for the story.

--It takes place in the middle of the first season, right after the episode DiC dubbed "Sailor V Makes the Scene." As such, Mamoru and Usagi do not know each other's true identities. Maybe I'll have them learn them, maybe not.

--There is no Metallia. Beryl's powers came from elsewhere, and you'll have to read to find out where. :-)

--This fic uses the orginal Japanese names. When I started writing it, I used the NA names, but now I'm more comfortable with the Japanese names. If anybody spots an NA name, don't hesitate to tell me.

--I will admit, some of the names for my original characters are kind of corny.
