Matter of Trust

(A Silent Devotion)

Hey all. It's me again. This time I come to you bearing another Crossover. SM/GW to be exact…but this time I have help…Kawaii Hotaruchan is co-author…YAY for co-authors. So this is not your typical crossover. POV will change with authors…Makoto for me…Hotaru for Kawaii-chan. Our Muses will...of course…be the G-boys. We share them you know.

Anyway we had a conversation about how we hate how the inner scouts are always betraying Usagi. Well what if it wasn't Usagi that was betrayed. What if…long ago…Jupiter and Mercury were once outer planets. (I know…hard to swallow…but it holds some truth.) Makoto and Ami both have the brain or brawn that the outers have, what if…when the inners found out…they kicked out the brain and brawn? What if Usagi forced them to leave? What if she wanted them to fulfill their destinies? They haven't been betrayed so to say…but forced out into the world. After five long years of fighting by her side…it seems to them like betrayal. Pluto send the outers to a new dimension in which she also resides as Time Mistress, with the promise of the scouts being brought back if anything evil should occur in that time. Betrayal changes some of their personalities, Hotaru will only open up to the other scouts and no one else, Ami has become deep in thought, Makoto is trying to hold the group together through whatever means necessary, Haruka and Michiru try to distance themselves from the two new faces without seeming to cold, and Setsuna must try to keep relative peace. Will starting over really have that much effect on them? With their destinies changed and challenged will they be able to work together to help the heroes of this New World? And what of the G-Boys? How will they take the new hidden allies? Will they ever figure out who the mysterious fighters are? Will Relena ever shut up? Oh we will make sure of that much. Relena haters of the world unite.

Disclaimer: We regrettably do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. If you try to sue be for warned that The Shinigami and Perfect Soldier will hunt you down. So if you hear…in a monotone voice…Omoe O Korosu…you are on your own.

Ages:

Unknown as of yet…Mako, Ami, and Hotaru are still in school…high school I guess so they can go to the school Piece-of-crap does

Setsuna, Michiru and Haruka are going to be teachers. Setsuna – History...Michiru – Music or Art…Haruka – defense or automotive…

Duo: Are you done yet?

JL: Why yes Duo. I am quite finished. The summary took me much to long. I am sorry.

Duo: Wait, you're being nice to me.

JL: What ever do you mean, dear?

Duo: You're really freaking me out now.

JL: Oh Duo…you're so silly.

Duo: ::backs away slowly then runs like hell::

JL: That was fun. I guess acting nice to him would cause him to have a nervous breakdown.

Wufei: Now why didn't I think of that?

JL: I don't know Wuffy. Maybe because I'm smarter than you are.

Wufei: Weak onna, don't call me Wuffy.

JL: I may be physically weak, but I'm smarter than you are.

Wufei: Báka onna.

JL: Thank you.

Wufei: Why won't you let me insult you?

JL: Because tormenting you is fun.

Wufei: Just start the story, onna.

JL: Right o' Wuffy. On with the show.





She had to run. She was running because she was late. Her Indian brown hair flowing behind her, for she ran out of time to actually do anything with it. She was oblivious to the crisp fall day around her. Leaves were falling gracefully in the chilling breeze. Children were laughing while playing in the park. All in all it was a beautiful Saturday morning, yet this young one was running at top speeds not paying it any attention. Normally she would have found solace in the park on this day. Resting against her favorite cherry tree, watching as the colorful leaves fell to the ground around her. She would have looked to the lake to find lovers rowing around, her imagination running wild, but today she was running. She had a meeting to get to. Normally, Saturday morning meetings were unheard of, but the Mistress of Time had things to discuss, and no one ever kept her waiting. She looked to the small green watch; the one that doubled as her communicator, to find that she was already five minutes late. If she kept up this speed it would still take her ten minutes to reach the shrine. She didn't care, though. She knew of at least one person that would still be later than her. She glanced to her right to see a yellow convertible sitting at the light. The driver was cursing slightly while the passenger was trying to calm her. She saw that it was none other than Haruka and Michiru. She stopped and called over.

"Hey guys. Can I get a ride?" She asked.

Haruka looked over to the voice. "Makoto is that you? I didn't recognize you with your hair down." She said.

Michiru smiled. "Of course Mako. You're welcome to get a ride."

Makoto grinned and jumped into the back. She had not noticed that Hotaru was back there.

"Hi, Taru-Chan." Makoto greeted the young scout.

"Hello, Mako-chan." Hotaru greeted hugging Makoto. Makoto and Hotaru had become close friends a while back. Haruka thought it would be a good idea to have the Mistress of Silence become the mediator so to say between the inner and outer scouts, mainly because she was closer to there age. To Makoto's surprise they had asked her to train Hotaru to become stronger and less dependant of her magick. It had been a long and difficult trek for them both, Hotaru had to start from stage one, and Makoto wasn't the most patient person, but eventually Hotaru became stronger, and Makoto learned patience. The girls had become fast friends.

"Why were you running late, Makoto?" Haruka asked.

"I was in the middle of baking when my oven…I don't know…popped I guess. I had to shut the gas off to the oven and in the process became so filthy I had to take another shower. I only saw the time as I was getting dressed." She looked down to see the green sleeveless turtle neck and black pants she had put on. She didn't have the time to put on socks so she opted for a pair of black chunky slip on shoes.

"That would explain why your hair isn't done." Added Michiru.

Makoto looked to the two older girls in the front seat. Haruka had her short sandy blond hair brushed back. She wore dark brown slacks and a white button down shirt. Michiru was in a teal colored dress that seemed to go past her knees; at least that's what Makoto could see. Her aqua hair blew as the car sped on. Hotaru was wearing black jeans and a purple tank top with a sheer black button down shirt over it. On her feet were black boots.

"So why are you late?" Makoto asked coming out of her own thoughts.

"We're always late. It's just fun to annoy Rei." Said Haruka.

"Ruka, behave. We lost track of time. Hotaru was napping, Haruka was playing the piano and I was painting." Michiru explained.

"I can understand about Rei. Sometimes I just don't feel like I fit in with her and Minako. It's strange." Makoto said.

Haruka and Michiru looked at each other silently.

The remainder of the trip was held in silence, each thinking their own thing. As soon as Haruka pulled onto the road that held the temple a high pitched wail could be heard.

"I see Usagi-chan has just gotten to the shrine." Makoto said, sweat dropping.

"The Hime must learn responsibility." Said Michiru.

"She will learn. More than likely she will be forced to learn." Hotaru stated.

"Well we have to walk from here." Haruka said as she parked the car at the base of the steps.

The small group slowly made their way up the temple steps. As they reached the top they could see the on set of Rei and Usagi's 934th tongue war battle. Minako was cheering them on, as Ami was busy reading a book on supernovas. Makoto stood on the last step with her arms crossed. The three outer scouts slowly went around her to sit on the steps to the actual shrine. Makoto walked close enough to the two squabbling girls and cleared her throat.

"Mako-chan, where have you been. Usagi is usually the one that's late, and the outers. I can't believe you were late." Rei shouted.

Makoto just stood her ground and glared at Rei for all she was worth.

Rei saw the look that meant "Shut up and don't say something you'll regret." Come from her eyes. "Gomen, Mako-chan." Rei said lowering her eyes.

Usagi looked up to Makoto and hugged her. "Do you have cookies? You always bring cookies." She said cheerily.

"Gomen, Usagi-chan. That's why I'm late. My oven blew." Makoto said rubbing her neck and smiling sheepishly.

"You're alright, correct Mako-chan." Ami asked while still reading her book.

"Hai, I caught it before anything happened." Makoto explained.

"Has Setsuna-mama arrived yet?" Hotaru asked looking around.

"I'm afraid not, Firefly. Now that everyone is here she'll probably show up." Minako said. At this a swirling portal opened and a scout clad in purple holding a large staff came out.

"Good Morning all." Pluto said as the portal vanished.

"Pluto-mama!" Hotaru said running and hugging the senshi.

"It's good to see you as well, Hotaru." The mistress of Time beamed.

"What was this meeting all about?" asked Rei, annoyed that she seemed to forget the others were actually standing there.

"I have come to inform you of a change in the past that has effected the future. It's not dangerous to the time stream, but it changes who two of you actually are." Pluto informed.

"I thought the past was set?" asked Ami.

"Nothing in time is set in stone, but I can change things if the future outcome seems to stray too far off the coarse that was originally set." She replied, confusing those around her.

"So what is the big change?" Minako asked.

"During the formation of the original planets two were in constant motion. At the beginning of the Silver Alliance they were farther out in the solar system than even Pluto. As the Millennium continued they gradually moved closer towards where they currently reside. Because of this, they received training on Saturn instead of the Moon. For centuries these two planets continued to move. By the time the new heirs of the thrown were to be trained, they were part of the inner system, and forced to train on the Moon, yet all of their power still resided from the outer most parts of the galaxy. I must let them tap into that power or they shall never be whole and will never regain the memories from their past life." Pluto said calmly.

"Ok, I'm confused." Usagi said trying to process the information.

"It means that two of us are actually outers." Ami informed.

"You would have to leave." Usagi said sullenly.

"Why would you make them leave?" Minako asked.

"They would have to leave to become who they really are. I don't want them to be stuck here protecting me and having to concentrate on their power too." She said.

"Demo, Usagi-chan. You would make them leave. After all that we've been through as a group, you'd still make them leave?" Makoto asked.

"Hai." She stated firmly.

"Why?" Rei asked.

"We were able to do without them before. They must learn who they truly are." She stated and crossed her arms.

"Pluto who are they?" Michiru asked, although she already knew.

"Jupiter and Mercury." She stated.

"Wait! Jupiter I can understand, the planet is right in the middle of them all, but Mercury is the inner most planet." Rei informed.

"Mercury would have plummeted into the sun if not for the powers of the Moon. The Queen used her power to stabilize its rotation around the sun." Pluto informed.

"Usagi, I swore to protect you. I will not leave." Makoto said firmly.

"Nor will I." Ami said standing next to Makoto.

"You are to leave with the outers. You are no longer to come to the meetings, and you are no longer required to fight at my side." Usagi said sadly.

"I will not leave." Makoto stated firmly.

"You have no choice. As the future Queen I order you to go and become what you truly are." Usagi said strongly.

"You would truly kick us out of the senshi?" Ami asked.

"Go now. Fulfill your own destiny. I shall be safe." Usagi said as she turned to go into Rei's room. Rei and Minako followed.

"Usagi-chan." Ami whispered.

"I can't believe she did that. She was the first friend I had here. I came here because of her." Makoto said. The others looked to her. Pluto had a look of realization.

"I had dreams…dreams of her death. I had to come here." Makoto informed. (This is why Mako came in the Manga…she wasn't kicked out of her school…she had a dream that she HAD to come to Tokyo.) "And now I'm thrown away, like nothing. We've died how many times trying to protect her?" She pointed to Ami.

"I understand Mako-chan." Ami said closing in on herself.

Makoto just shook her head. "I won't let this bother me." She said smiling. "Were to first?" She asked.

Pluto could feel the sorrow coming off of Makoto and Ami. She could feel hatred emanating from the other scouts. "I will take you to the other dimension I keep track of. There you shall be able to train and learn to control your new power. We will also be able to help that world with the war they are in, if you so choose. This is a war without magick, but our powers can be of help." Pluto said.

"Where do we begin?" asked Haruka, holding onto Michiru.

"We shall begin at the beginning." Pluto said creating a portal. The group walked through.







"Listen I have to tell you all something." Quatre said trying to calm the group. It wasn't the whole group he was trying to calm. Heero was seated at the coffee table, playing with his laptop. Trowa was seated on the couch trying not to fall asleep. Wufei and Duo on the other hand were in the middle of one of their chase or be killed modes.

Heero looked up to the Arabian boy and looked at the two who were being very noisy. He pulled his gun from God knows where and held it in front of both Duo and Wufei. "Omoe O Korosu." He said in his toneless voice.

Duo stopped dead in his tracks and looked to the "Perfect Soldier." Wufei sat on the couch muttering about justice having to be done.

"Gomen, Heero. As I was trying to say earlier, my aunt is coming to stay here. It was not my choice. She will be bringing two of her friends and three girls our own age. She and her friends will be teaching at St. Gabriel and the three girls will be attending." Quatre said quickly.

"ONNAS! YOU WILL HAVE A HOUSE FULL OF WEAK ONNAS?" Wufei yelled.

"As I said, I have no say in this. She is my guardian as I'm still not of age to be on my own." Quatre informed.

"We will have to be careful around them." Trowa said.

"Aunt Setsuna already knows about us. She will more than likely have told the others." Quatre said softly.

"That is classified information. We should kill them." Heero said.

"Oh lay off him Hee-Man. This could be fun." Duo said sitting on the floor.

"Mhnnh." Was his reply.

"They also have their own secrets. Aunt Setsuna refused to tell me. She said that if we knew she would have us killed." Quatre said.

"So the onna knows our secret yet we cannot know hers? Typical onna." Wufei said.

The doorbell soon rang. Quatre went to answer it.

"Yes Miss can I help you?" he said politely.

"I think you were expecting us." The girl said. He noticed how her eyes were the same brilliant green as Trowa's, and her hair was only a shade darker.

"And you are?" He asked.

"Silly me, My name is Makoto." She said smiling as she took his hand. "You must be Quatre."

"Were are the others?" He asked curiously.

"Oh they're on there way up. I decided to race Haruka and I took a short cut through the garden. She should be here in 5…4…3…2…1…"

"Makoto, where the hell are you." Came a voice from the driveway.

"Right on time." She winked to Quatre. "Over here Ruka-san." She yelled out. At this the other boys came to the door to spot Makoto standing in the doorway yelling to the masculine looking girl headed their way. A car was following slowly. Soon six female figures stood in front of the door.

"Please come in." Quatre said.

The girls walked in and were brought to the living room.

"Girls let us introduce ourselves." Said the woman with green tinted hair. "I am Setsuna, Quatre's aunt."

"My name is Michiru." She said in a musical voice.

"The name's Haruka."

"Ami." She said softly.

"My name is Makoto. Nice to meet you." She looked over to her friend and tickled her. Earning a death glare that she just smiled off.

"Hotaru."

"Don't mind Taru-chan. She doesn't really trust people to soon." Makoto said.

"Weak báka onna." Wufei mumbled.

Makoto's personality did a complete 180. She stood in front of Wufei with her eyes glaring. "What did you call me?" She said through clenched teeth.

"I called you a weak woman. All women are weak." Wufei said. The other boys saw the fire in Makoto's eyes and slowly backed away. Trowa and Heero more so, just not to get in the middle of the fight.

Makoto did a quick leg sweep taking Wufei by surprise. He caught himself before he fell and did an uppercut thrust. Makoto caught his hand before it landed in her abdomen. She squeezed his fist and continued to push her thumb in between his thumb and forefinger. He fell to his knees. (I'm not trying to make Makoto seem all-powerful, but there is a nerve in the hand that when pushed renders a person unable to do much of anything. Almost everyone falls. Don't flame because of this. I'm trying to have them use defensive maneuvers more than fighting tactics.) "Call me a weak onna again and you will lose that which is greatest to you." She said as she produced a dagger from her boot and held it to his crotch.

"Makoto stop that." Setsuna said.

"Ok…I'm better now." She said smiling and happily.

Hotaru shook her head. "Mako what am I going to do with you?" she asked.

"Don't know…kill me?" She smiled and picked up the young girl, tossing her over her back.

"Mako-chan put me down." She demanded pounding on her back.

"Who taught you to hit? You hit like a girl." Makoto laughed.

"You taught me." Hotaru said as she was brought outside.

"Yeah that's why I'm wondering why you hit like a girl." She said as they both exited the house to get their bags.

"Gomen, for their behavior. Hotaru only opens up for Makoto anymore. We've all been through a lot." Ami said becoming quiet and with drawn yet again when she was done.

"Wufei I would suggest not calling Makoto weak. Her ego is quite high in that area and she will follow through with her threats if given the chance." Setsuna informed.

"Are you two a couple?" Quatre asked Michiru and Haruka.

"Iie, I just like holding onto her like this." Haruka said sharply.

"Ruka be nice. Quatre you have a music room, correct?" Michiru asked.

"Yes, come I will show you around." Quatre said.

A scream was heard from outside. The group rushed out the front door to see Hotaru soaking wet. Makoto had a huge water gun strapped to her arm. "Anyone else want some." She said smirking.

"Omoe O Korosu." Hotaru growled as she took her own water gun and started chasing Makoto.

"That reminds me of me and Heero when we first met." Duo said.

"That's all we need, another Perfect Soldier and Osage báka." Wufei grumbled, earning glares from Heero and Duo.

Before anything else could be said a high pitch scream came from a car in the driveway. "HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Heero visibly paled, but his attitude didn't change. "Shit." He whispered.





And that's where I leave it. Kawaii-chan gets the honor of annoying Relena first. Just remember that Makoto and Hotaru are still running around with the water guns.

Trowa: That was long.

JL: Yeah but it had the explanations and first meetings. Remember that the scouts know about the pilots, but the pilots don't know about the scouts.

Duo: I'm hungry.

JL: You're always hungry. Here finish my KFC.

Duo: Your being nice to me again.

JL: Oh shut up and eat.

Duo: Oh ok never mind.

JL: Ja Ne Minna. Remember to Review, and remember that flames can't hurt those that are pyromaniacs. They just make up happy.
