Iwrote this after watching the latest Sailor Moon Crystal episode (episode 10, I think), I don't see that turning out so well and I wanted to give Rei/Jadeite, Makoto/Nephrite, Ami/Zoisite and Minako/Kunzite a happy ending. This is going to be following the manga, where Jadeite died in Act 3, Nephrite in 5, Zoisite in 7 and Kunzite in 10, I'd love to be able to do a Crystal and keep the Shitennou alive but I don't know where that storyline is going. I've always loved the Senshi/Shitennou relationships, their pairings come right after Usagi/Mamoru and Haruka/Michiru.

I've edited this, so please to a re-read.

I do not own Sailor Moon.

Jadeite

Zhanshi Jun never knew his father. He was born in a small but busy hospital in the middle of Beijing. His father had been a student in his last year of Medical School from London, according to what his mother had told him. His mother, Yuke and father, Tom, had a fling that had lasted the six month visit. Tom had been in Beijing for university, studying in an exchange program. They'd fallen in love and the short love affair had ended in a proposal. Tom left China with plans of applying for a Visa and returning as soon as possible, but unfortunately that was never to be. Tom died in a car accident on the way to his parents' house from the airport, after landing back in England. They had been so happy about their son being home and were anxious to hear more about Tom's fiancée. Yuke found out she was pregnant five days later. Jun had been born in early March the following year and had Tom's blond hair.

Jun's English grandparents did everything they could for their grandson. They cherished the piece of their son that had remained on Earth. His mother never got over losing Tom and lived in grief for the rest of her days, living only for her son. She died when Jun was twelve years old, when her battle with cancer had been lost. Jun moved to England to be raised by Michael and Ella Phillips, Tom's parents, since Yuke's had disowned her when she had Jun out of wedlock.

Jun had always been a rather unusual boy, from a young age he'd had dreams of other times, most of which involved a girl with long black hair. Whenever Jun met her in his dreams he's always have an overwhelming feeling of loyalty, love and guilt bubbling in his cheat. There were others in his dreams, four males, roughly the same ages as him, give or take a few years.

It was because of these dreams that he knew things he should not have. At six he had told his mother to be careful outside as there was a snake. His mother had brushed it off as she was sure it was too cold out for any snakes. Later that afternoon she'd been getting washing to bring inside when she'd tripped in a lose bit of gravel and nearly fallen, disturbing a sunbaking snake laying on a rock not one meter to her right. That night Yuke asked Jun how he'd known there was a snake there. He'd simply said, "She told me not to disturb her when I went out to play this morning." At ten he could cool the air around him with just a thought and at twelve, just months before his mother died, he was sure he had finally lost his mind when he started hearing thoughts and feeling emotions not his own.

Other strange things happened, he'd somethings been able to move things with his mind or know things before they happened. Jun didn't talk about his differences to other people, afraid it would make him seem weird.

The dreams stopped when he moved to England after his mother passed.

While he was an introvert at heart, Jun was also an intelligent and boisterous teen. Jun didn't let much get him down, though, even if he was known for being rather serious at times. He always loved a laugh. He had been saddened by the death of his mother but took comfort in the fact that she was finally reunited with his father.

He attended a high school in England and after graduating he decided he wanted to return to China for University, to reconnect with his roots. He also couldn't help but hope the dreams would start again, he missed his friends in his dreams. His Prince, his brothers and her. After three months back in his birth land and still no dreams, he got the terrible news that Michael and Ella had both died in a fire. Jun fell into a depression, and with his sadness the dreams returned. Only now they were more like having nightmares about death. He'd often see himself betraying his Prince and wielding a sword, striking down the girl with long black hair, his heart. These scenes had him even more disturbed.

Their faces haunted him so much so that he began to feel guilty, for he felt more grief over her dream death and the death of his Prince in the dreams than he's ever felt for his parents or grandparents. The pain he felt for these people, who he didn't even know where real, eclipsed the hurt from his departed family members. Jun lost focus on school, his waking life fell apart, just like his dream one.

One day while walking home from a class that he had not been paying attention in, he took a wrong turn and ran head long into a woman.

"I'm so sorry," he exclaimed, bowing, his eyes seeing the hem of her long purple dress. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and didn't see you there, ma'am."

"Don't worry, my King of the East. I'm sure you can make it up to me." The voice she spoke in was eerily familiar and it made shivers run down Jun's spine, he snapped his neck up to look at the woman's face. "Now come, little Jadeite, I have need for the Prince's Shitennou, again."

In that moment his mind flooded with memories.

"Beryl," he muttered, his eyes hardening when he'd taken in her appearance. He knew who she was and in that moment he also knew that anything he'd ever seen in his dreams where real, too. They had been memories. Of a past life, one long ago. "I'm sorry, I failed again Master Endymion... Bellona..." Jun whispered these words.

Her eyes were the most frightening thing about her, even though her whole appearance screamed "RUN, JUN, RUN!" He'd barely made to scramble up, figuring he may as well as try to get away, but it was all in vain. A dark purple aura surrounded him and the next thing he remembered was seeing her.

He'd had flashes of coherency in his time as the Dark Kingdom agent, Jadeite, but for the most part it was just his body being a puppet. Jun's mind and Endymion's loyal Shitennou, Jadeite's soul, were locked away, deep within the shell. He fought back when Jadeite drove that bus, when he saw her, but it didn't work. When she transformed, he felt it in his soul and when she killed him, he felt free. He was happy that she had been the one to kill him, before he could hurt her. At least he got to see her again, even if only for a short while.

"Akuryo Taisan!" Sailor Mars yelled at Jadeite. As he was dying, he felt the flames of Mars licking at his skin, felt the burning of his flesh. It was agony, especially since in that last moment, he had perfect clarity, but Jun was just glad that this time they had not killed each other. He was at peace and maybe, just maybe, he would be reborn in the future and there would be no Beryl there to take him from them, again. While being engulfed by Mars' flames, he wondered what would happen to his Brothers; Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite. He wondered if they had been reborn, too and what their names were now. 'Hopefully they'll all get to be free in their next lifetime, too,' Jun thought as he burned.

He briefly remembers, a few months later, coming back to life, again. After Serenity had been found and the Ginzishou uncovered, but that life was fleeting. He spent the next few years or so as a stone. He would appear with the other Shitennou and advise his prince, but that life, too was not to be. The year that Jun was meant to have been celebrating his twenty second birthday, Endymion came to them, he asked if they wanted their life back. Endymion and Serenity's power was finally enough.

"You would be were you were before Beryl took you. If you want to return to me, you'll have to find your own way. Your memory will be sealed, I can't do anything about that. But anything you knew before then should still remain. You'll have a little less than five years to make it back to us if you chose so, that's the longest we can hold off the Great Freeze. But if you are returning, try to get back by Usako's 21st, I'll need some groomsmen, I can't have Uranus do it, Haruka would spend my wedding flirting with my new wife. That's summer, three years from now." Mamoru, the Prince's current name, had said to him, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite.

"If it means I can find Mars again and serve my Prince then I will do it. Do not worry, Master, I will take it!" He heard the other Shitennou each say something of that nature as well and so it was done.

Jun woke up in the house he grew up in, in Beijing and had no memory of how he got to be there. The date said he was missing close to four years and in his mind the last thing her could recall was being depressed about something that was not linked directly to the death of his grandparents.

He felt something, a pull of some kind, it told him to follow it and he would. Eventually. First there were things Jun wanted to settle. He had a feeling that by following the pull he would not get to do anything else for a long time, that where ever the pull would take him was to be his final stop, his home. He could wait.

For almost two years Jun travelled, he lived out of a backpack, going here and there. He went to his mother's grave and said goodbye. He saw the Great Wall of China, something he hadn't seen since before his mother had gotten sick when he was nine. Jun travelled through Asia and saw the Taj Mahal in India. He visited the Pyramids in Egypt and the Colosseum in Rome. He did small jobs here and there to get by and avoided his inheritance, which while not much was still a very decent amount, he wanted to save that, just in case. Jun then went back to England, he'd never made it back to attend his grandparents funeral and he regret that a lot. He said his goodbyes to them and his father, too. It was time to follow the pull he had been ignoring for so long. He was ready.

It had been 22 months since he'd woken up with no memory. It was time for the finish line. For home.

Jun got in a taxi and went straight to the airport from the cemetery. He had no idea where he was going but was sure he would know when he got there. At the airport he asked for a ticket on the next available flight. It was to Tokyo, Japan and somehow that just felt right, the pull was getting stronger. Just over 24 hours later he was wondering around Juuban, Tokyo, trying to find... something. Anything. The pull was going in two different directions, one to his Prince, the other her. His Heart won, his Prince would understand.

He passed a Shinto shrine in his search and although his mother had been Buddhist and his grandparents Anglican he had not felt a connection to either and remained stubbornly undecided his whole life. But this shrine, he couldn't just walk by. She was here, he knew it. At the top of the steps there was a shrine maiden sweeping. For some reason Jun needed to see her up close, talk to her if he could. She felt familiar and a bubble rose in his stomach as he climbed the stairs. With every step closer, his heart beat faster and the bubble got higher in his chest and grew. Her head was down and her long black hair covered her face, falling right down to her upper thighs. He had never seen hair so long outside of his dreams.

He was now a mere two steps from her, and the bubble burst spreading the feeling of peace over him and all at once he just knew. It was her.

"I've been looking for you," Jun said, with a smile, "For a very long time."

"And I've been waiting," she replied, without looking up, instantly recognising his voice. "For a very long time. But you've got a lot of grovelling to do, Jadeite. I won't take you back that easy. No matter how much I've missed you." She looked up at him meeting his gaze, an easy smirk playing on her lips and tears shining in her violet eyes.

Jun took the last few stairs in a single bound and wrapped his arms around her. "I wouldn't have it any other way, Bellona. I missed you, too. Even when I didn't remember you, I missed you. By the way, it's Jun. My name in this life is Zhanshi Jun. What's yours?" He then buried his face it to her long, raven locks and smelt something he had not smelt in lifetimes. Her, his Heart.

"I'm Hino Rei, it's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled warmly at him. Jun knew that it would be a long time before Rei would look at him the way Mars looked Jadeite, but he would take what he could get.

"Where is the Prince and Princess?" He asked, he wanted to see his Prince and his brothers almost as much as he had wanted to see Rei.

"We can go to see Mamoru-san and Usagi-chan later," Rei told him. "For now, you're mine. I'd like to get to know Zhanshi Jun, if that's alright with you?"

"That's more than alright," Jun hugged Rei to him, pressing their foreheads together. He was home, with his Heart and she was as bossy as ever, but he really would not have her any other way. His lips met hers in the lightest of kisses and he whispered to her, "Watch out world, Jadeite's back and Mars is all his! Come on, My Heart, tell me all about Hino Rei? Is she going to light my trousers on fire for whispering dirty things to you in public, too?"

Rei just rolled her eyes.
