SailorStar9: Another wrecked-up idea my plot bunnies gave me when I was marathoning all three Seasons of Shakugan No Shana. This is probably the very first Sailor Moon/ Shakugan No Shana fic here. Hopefully no one will find this fic weird.

Plot summary: Sets after the Misago Festival Arc. A dream sends Khamsin Nbh'w to Juuban where he discovers that the love of his life, one Princess Hermia of Mercury, had been reincarnated.

Pairings: Past Khamsin/Hermia. Developing Khamsin/Ami.

Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing.

Prologue: The Distant Memory

"Ah..." Khamsin rested the back of his hand on his forehead, blinking away the drowsiness as he awoke from his short nap. "A dream, huh? It's been awhile..."

Dream Sequence

Finally... Khamsin trawled through the dense jungle where the town's citizens had told him where the Crimson Denizen he was hunting was last seen. Finally, my search is over...

"Spike Geyser!" Khamsin heard an attack cry and sped up, just in time to see a sailor-suited female warrior release her water spikes at the Crimson Denizen.

"Droplet Spear!" the water Elementalist then fired off three spearing streams of pressurized water at the Crimson Denizen."Ferrum Polaris." she summoned a Damascus blade. "Chilling Wave." a single sweep of icy water from the sword rooted the Crimson Denizen.

Khamsin took the chance to summon the Rubble Giant. With Mekest in its left hand, it fired a 'Ra's Throwing Stone' at the immobilized Crimson Denizen, utterly destroying it.

"Prism Ice Barrier!" the Elementalist barely had the time to form an ice shield to deflect the dismembered limbs."Perhaps you should take a good look at your surroundings before using that attack." she turned to the unexpected intervention, totally unfazed before the rock golem.

"Ah, I apologize." Khamsin stepped out, diffusing his rock giant. "It's just that I never expected anyone else besides me to be in this area."

"A Flame Haze..." the navy-blue haired warrior mused. "Never expected to meet one in my lifetime."

"Ah, I'm at a disadvantage." Khamsin admitted. "You know who I am, but I do not know who you are."

"Let's just say I'm not from around here." the water Senshi smiled. "I am..."

"From the stars?" Khamsin echoed, the pair taking a break on their way back to the town.

"A Planet Senshi." Behemoth supplied. "But what is one doing here, on Earth? I would've thought that your rules prevented..."

"I'm on orders from the Silver Queen herself." the de-transformed Hermia replied. "The darkness on Earth grows and yet even the Queen has no idea what it is."

"If there's anything..." Khamsin stated.

"This, I do not know." Hermia sighed.

"Ah, a memory?" Khamsin realized. "Hermia, has it really been so long that I've forgotten your face? The ice Planet..." he focused his eyes on the planet Mercury and saw a shooting star streak past it. "Don't tell me..."
