Wake up.

Four men, once known as the four greatest kings of Earth and guardians of Prince Endymion, laid in a white oblivion. This had been their eternal resting place since the events of the Dark Kingdom. Their only remains had been the stones they were named after. Endymion, or rather now known as Darien, had placed them in his room on a shelf. At times they awaken when their prince needed advise, appearing before him as mere ghosts. It was then time to fall to sleep.

Have you slept long enough?

No. They did not desire to wake up. In this place of eternal slumber they did not have to remember their evil deeds and betrayals to their land, prince, and loves. No, sleep was good. It was their punishment. Though Darien had forgiven them, they still felt guilty and undeserving of forgiveness. Sleep took them away from nightmares, pains, fears, doubts. Only peaceful slumber.

Running away? Fight!

Running? Were they running from their problems? They reasoned that they were in fact doing so. Sleep was their excuse to not face the past. It took away their guilt. Did they not wish to have their honor restored? Beryl and Metallia had taken away everything from them. They dirtied the men's pride, honor, and dignity as Kings and guardians. They were instructed to kill those whom they were rightly to protect.

Their bodies began to twitch. A few quiet moans were heard.

Stop sleeping. Stop running. Fight to regain what was lost. Do not let guilt drown you.

Four pairs of eyes slowly opened. Four bodies slowly stood up and stared at each other. Yes. Time to stop being cowards and fight back. There will be pain but they would face it. No running. Be truthful and honest. Hold nothing back. Guilt would not hold them down again. They wanted to correct their mistakes. They wanted to live again. Their first reincarnation went horribly wrong when Beryl found and enslaved them once again. This time they wanted to live their stolen lives.

So you wish to live again? Was sleep getting boring?

"Yeah. Besides, it was hard sleeping anyways since Nephrite was snoring loudly in my ears. I think I nearly went deaf in the left ear." Jadeite was rubbing that ear and making sure it was still functioning properly.

"I do not snore!" shouted Nephrite as he punched Jadeite in the head.

Zoisite stretched and yawned. "Sleeping in one position for that long sure hurts." Stiff joints cried in pain in his stretching. "Never let me sleep for long. Ouch!" The other three heard popping noises come his body.

Kunzite stretched as well. Zoisite's statement had him pondering. "How long have we been asleep?"

His friends turned to him. They all still felt as if yesterday they had just died. The memories so fresh in their minds. The pain returned. Guilt gnawed at them. Silence returned as they thought things through.

Four years since your deaths. Four years since Princess Serenity defeated Beryl and Metallia. Four long years of eternal slumber.

"Four years?" asked Zoisite. "It does not seem possible yet at the same time I can feel it. Sleeping here deprives us of time."

"It only feels like yesterday that I died," stated Kunzite.

Nephrite put a hand to his chin. "But it feels like years have passed and I feel so rested."

"Over-rested in my opinion," Jadeite said with arms crossed. "So how are we to return?"

"Perhaps if we ask that kind, mysterious voice we have been hearing the last few minutes and never once questioned who it was," was Zoisite's response.

Kunzite, leader of the guardians, asked for them all. "How do we return to Earth?"

How do you wish to return?

"What do you mean?"

Do you wish for the normal life that was denied you or return as you are?

"We will have our memories, right?" asked Zoisite.

If you chose the first then when you leave here, your reincarnated self will have all past memories restored at some point in time. The latter you will be resurrected with all memories intact. Which?

Jadeite stepped out from the others. "Before we make a choice, and forgive my impoliteness, may we know whom we are speaking with. Last time we made a deal we came under Beryl's control, killed people, killed our-our," Jadeite choked at the memory of his beautiful Mars falling by his hands. The others also felt the same stab in their hearts. He pushed through. "loved ones, and destroyed both the Earth and Moon Kingdoms."

Silence reigned over them. The longer the wait became the more they worried. Would they have to fight to keep their own life?

I am a friend from the Silver Millennium. One whom you had seen many times. Your pain has reached me and I wish to help you as much as possible.

A brilliant flash of fire erupted before them. The cry of an animal was heard as the flames took shape.

"It's you!" exclaimed Zoisite.

Now choose my dear friends. Which will you choose?

They looked to each other, seeking each other's answer. In one voice declared their answers. Four stones on Darien's shelf lit up and vanished.

Of them all Kunzite had chosen the second choice and awoke in a bed to find a teenage girl hovering over him. A lamp sitting on the desk to his right was dimly lit. To his left was a window to show the cool night sky.

"You're awake!" she exclaimed with happiness. "My dream was true!"

He could not understand a thing she was saying. "What?" he asked in Japanese.

"Oh!" Her eyes got wide. "Sorry, I thought you spoke English," she responded in Japanese. "I was just happy that you're awake and that my dream came true."

"Dream?"

She nodded. "I've been having a dream that you would appear in our house. A voice told me that you were hurting and wanted me to take care of you." She pouted as she crossed her arms. "None of my family believed me when I told them about it." The smile returned. "But yesterday we came back from eating lunch and you suddenly appeared before us. Scared all of us and nearly had my mom faint."

"I'm sorry for doing so."

She waved a hand at him. "No need to apologize. It was kind of funny in a strange way." She giggled at the memory. "So since the voice told me to take care of you, I've decided to make you a part of the family. From now on you will be mine and my sibling's brother."

"What?!"

"I've always wanted an older brother." She looked at him with big eyes. "And my little brother could use a brother! Please! I'm sure my parents would not object!"

He wanted to reject this insane plan but something about her prevented it. She made him desire to protect her and keep her smiling. She made him want to laugh and ruffle her hair. Her eyes made him feel as if she could peer into his soul and know what he felt.

"Fine," he sighed.

"Yay!" She jumped around the room. "This will be fun!"

A warm, gentle yet powerful aura surrounded her. His eyes focused closely on her. The fiery creature with wings he had seen moments ago appeared behind the excited girl. It's wings closed around her protectively. The memories resurfaced once more, making sense of what he was seeing.

"Yes, I will stay with you."
