Hey look! I wrote another Sailor Moon fic! I guess this is what happens when one writes a research paper on Sailor Moon...the mind is the first to go...or whatever passes for a mind in my case...n.n
So, I hope this fic is enjoyable. It time jumps a bit but that's how the muse told me to write it.
Full Summary: A man seeks vengeance upon all the Sailor Senshi. When he arrives on Earth, a young boy watches his family and friends die at the hands of the killer. The Starlights take him in and raise him. When he is old enough, the boy journeys back in time to stop his family from dying.
I never have and probably never will own the rights to Sailor Moon or any related thing to Sailor Moon. My sad life... v.v
A young woman ran through the forest, her feet pounding against the detritus on the ground. She gasped desperately for air for her burning lungs, but none came. She leapt over a fallen log and put on an extra burst of speed. Her wild dark red hair streamed out behind her as she ran, her dark red skirt torn from the trees. She risked a glance over her shoulder and tripped over a tree branch. She went hurtling down the hill and landed at the bottom in a heap. Her dark eyes looked up and widened in fear. She scrambled away, fear numbing her limbs.
A man with white hair looked down at her, his sky blue eyes cold. He produced a wicked looking knife from his belt and took a step forward. He hauled her to her feet and held her against a tree. He pressed the blade against her throat. "Tell me where other Sailor Senshi are hiding and I'll give you a quick death."
"Never," she snapped.
"Doesn't matter. I'll find them anyway." He replaced his knife and pulled the black glove over his right hand off. He placed his hand on her forehead and she screamed as unimaginable pain ripped throughout her body, blood dripping from her mouth. After several moments he let her body fall and wiped the blood off. "All the Sailor Senshi will die," he whispered. He turned and walked away.

"Ten'ou Kieran! If you are not back here in five seconds you are grounded young man!" Michiru shouted.
A ten-year-old boy skidded to a halt in the park and looked over. He had shaggy blonde hair, sea blue eyes, and wore a pair of jeans and a shirt. He quickly ran over to Michiru, a pout on his face. "I didn't do nothing!" he complained.
"It's 'I didn't do anything'," she corrected. "And I told you we had to leave in five minutes ten minutes ago. We're going to be late picking up your father and sister."
His face lit up. "They're coming home today?"
Michiru smiled and nodded. "And we have to hurry if we want to be on time." Kieran grabbed Michiru's hand and began pulling her towards the dark blue sports car. The Sea Senshi smiled and unlocked the vehicle. He is so much like Haruka, she mused as he climbed into the back. He buckled himself in and grinned as he bounced his feet against the bottom of the backseat. She shook her head and got in. She started the car and they drove to the Tokyo Airport.
As they pulled up, Kieran pressed his face against the window. "There they are!" he exclaimed.
Michiru unlocked the doors and popped the trunk. The two felt the car bounce slightly as Haruka placed the suitcases in the back before slamming the trunk closed. A young girl with aqua hair climbed into the back, her teal eyes looking at Kieran. She buckled herself in as Haruka collapsed into the passenger seat and strapped in as well.
"Long flight?" Michiru asked, pulling out of the airport.
"Hai. Very long," the Wind Senshi answered with a yawn.
"How was Uncle Mamoru in America?" Kieran asked his twin sister.
Kaioh Suiren smiled. "He complained about wanting to come back home."
"What about Aunt Usagi?"
"She gave you both a present that you'll get once we're home," Haruka called back to them.
"Seems like Suiren had a good time," Michiru commented.
Haruka nodded. "She kept Odango busy."
Michiru giggled. "I can imagine."
"So how was Speedy while I was gone?"
"A handful just like his father," came the reply.
"That was cold," Haruka muttered.
Michiru smiled. "He had his handful moments, but outside of that he was perfect," she answered honestly.
"Just like his mother," Haruka said.
"Suck up," giggled Michiru.
Haruka grinned, her arms behind her head. "Odango and Mamoru-san are going to be moving back into town next week around her birthday."
"That's must be hard for her," Michiru said.
Haruka nodded. "I was talking to Mamoru and we were planning on having a special get together after they get settled back in."
"What kind of get together?"
"A surprise picnic party," Haruka answered.
They continued the drive home talking about random things. They pulled into the driveway and Michiru turned off the car after parking it. They all got out and Haruka retrieved the suitcases from the trunk. Michiru watched as her two children ran to the door. "So what did Usagi say about Suiren? Did the test work?"
"Yeah," Haruka answered. "She'll be a Senshi once she's old enough."
"But what about Kieran? It can't just be coincidence that he's her twin."
The blonde shrugged. "We had him tested Michi. He's just a normal kid." They began walking towards their house. "The day will come when we'll…" she trailed off and bowed her head. "When we'll have to bury him." Michiru nodded and they walked into the house.

A woman ran through the deserted streets of the city, ducking through alleys and doubling back when she was able to try and throw off her pursuer. Nothing worked. She skidded to a halt when she hit a dead end.
"You've nowhere left to run," a calm, cold voice said.
She turned and saw a man with white hair walking towards her. "What do you want with me?" she demanded.
"You'll soon see," he said.
She summoned a sword to her hand and leveled it at the man. "Stay back or I will kill you," she warned.
His eyes hardened and black energy formed around his hand. "You cannot kill me Sailor Senshi." His hand shot up and the black mist engulfed her. She screamed for several moments until she sank to the ground, dead.
"Hold it right there!" a voice shouted. He turned and saw a woman with pale blue white hair standing at the entrance of the alley. "I don't know who you are, but I can't let you hurt innocent people or my fellow Senshi."
"You must be Sailor Aluminum Siren," he said, turning to her.
"We won't let you escape," a new voice said from behind. He turned and saw a dark skinned woman with black wings staring at him.
"That must make you Sailor Lead Crow." He grinned, cracking his knuckles. "I shall enjoy this." Black energy began flowing off of him. "Die Sailor Senshi!" he screamed, the energy flying off of him and engulfing the two women. They shrieked in pain as the energy struck them.

Haruka blearily opened her eyes as someone shuffled into the room. "Kieran? What's wrong?" she whispered sleepily.
"I had a nightmare," he whispered, clutching a stuffed silver dog.
Haruka stifled a yawn and sat up, being careful so as not to wake Michiru. She got out of bed and picked the boy up. She walked out of her room and eased the door closed behind her. She carried her son down the hall and went into his room, shutting the door. She clicked the light on by the bedside and blinked against the sudden glare. She set him down on his bed and pulled his covers up. "What was your nightmare about?" she asked.
"I saw a man killing women. They were…torn apart by something." Tears shimmered in his eyes. "And the man was laughing like he enjoyed it."
Haruka scooted closer to her son and held him. "It was just a dream." She smiled and brushed some of his hair from his face. "That man can't hurt you."
Kieran wiped his eyes and nodded. He looked up at Haruka. "Papa, am I special?" he asked.
"Of course you are," she said.
"Am I special like you and Mama?"
"You mean are you a Sailor Senshi?" He nodded. She pulled him into her lap and leaned against the wall. "You won't be able to become a Sailor Senshi Kieran. Not because you don't deserve it, it's because…" she paused, trying to think of a way to explain it to him so he'd understand.
"I'm not special enough," he said.
"You are special Kieran." She smiled down at him faintly. "Being a Senshi isn't as fun as you might think it is."
"But you have powers and you save people!" he protested.
She nodded. "But we've also had our share of loss." Her smile faded as she recalled the battle with Galaxia eleven years ago. "Being a Senshi means being willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good." She stared into his sea blue eyes. "And even though we're suppose to be heroes, I don't consider myself one."
He frowned. "Why not?"
"I'll tell you when you're a bit older and understand better." He nodded and rested his head against her stomach.
"Can I be a hero someday?" he asked sleepily.
Haruka smiled. "You can be anything you want to be Kier." His eyes closed and he fell asleep. Realizing that she was stuck, Haruka turned off the light and pulled the covers up. "Oyasumi na sai musuko." She closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

Michiru yawned and stretched, frowning when she felt the empty space next to her. She got up and pulled on a pale sea green robe. She walked down the hallway and quietly opened Suiren's door. The girl was sound asleep, a stuffed Dalmatian toy clutched in her arms. The Sea Senshi smiled and eased the door closed. She turned and walked to the end of the hall. She opened the door to Kieran's room and smiled, suppressing a giggle. Haruka and Kieran were sound asleep.
"Kawaii…" Michiru whispered. She retreated back to her room, grabbed a digital camera, and returned to her son's room. She snapped a picture of the pair.
Haruka stirred and opened her eyes. "Michi," she whispered.
"Ohayo."
Haruka looked at the digital clock on Kieran's bedside table. "Ohayo," she returned, wiping the last remnants of sleep from her eyes.
Kieran yawned and stretched. "Ohayo Mama, Papa."
"Come on you two. Time to get ready for the picnic," Michiru said.
Kieran's eyes lit up. "Yahoo!" he exclaimed and leapt off his bed. He began digging through his drawers for his clothes. His parents smiled.
Haruka walked to Michiru and kissed her. "Is Suiren up?"
Michiru shook her head. "She was sleeping when I looked in on her."
"I'll wake her up then," Haruka said. She walked out of the room and several moments later they heard a young girl squealing and laughing.
Michiru smiled and shook her head. "Get dressed then downstairs for breakfast," she told Kieran. He nodded and she walked out.
"I take it Dad woke Suiren up?" Hotaru asked, poking her head out of her room.
"You know Haruka," Michiru returned.
Hotaru smiled. "I'll be done in a few minutes."
Michiru nodded and returned to her room. She set the camera down on the dresser and went into the bathroom. Two arms suddenly ensnared her. "Gotcha," Haruka whispered.
"You're perky today," Michiru commented.
"I'm happy to be back home with no upcoming races or anything. I missed you all," she said.
"We need to hurry or we'll be late," Michiru said.
"Okay," Haruka returned. They quickly got ready and headed downstairs for some late breakfast.
