Chapter One
Blonde haired, blue eyed Quatre Raberba Winner sits in his office at home, groaning as he goes over the financial reports for the Winner Family Resource Satellites. God, he hated financial records, just then a lack of emotion around him catches his attention, " Hello, Heero. "
" Quatre, you want me to go through all that and put it into a format that won't give you a headache? " Heero asks.
Quatre raises an eyebrow, " Let me guess, Rachel threatened you with Duo's cooking if you didn't come rescue me from this tedium? "
" Worse, she threatened me with letting WuFei be my barber. " Heero says.
" Thanks, Heero, I would like to actually spend some time with Rachel, away from the manor. " Quatre says, his feisty, dark haired girlfriend had been so patient and understanding, but she also knew when he seriously needed a break, and this was one of those times.
The blonde haired teen races out of the office and to his room to clean up and change. He wanted to have some fun with Rachel, to be a normal teen for once. He heads for the archery range, which was where Rachel spent most of her free time, where Heero was deadly accurate with short range weapons Rachel was just as deadly with any kind of bow in her hands though she preferred the long bow. " Rachel, care to head out and do something fun? "
Rachel whips around and puts her bow and quiver back, " Give me ten minutes. "
Ten minutes later Rachel was back and they head out in Quatre's Trans Am. When they reach town Quatre parks and they head for the carnival in town. Rachel stiffens so slightly that Quatre doesn't notice, but the Martian's sixth sense was ringing serious alarm bells for her. She knew what that meant, danger was very close by or one of them was being watched.
Up on the top of a building a teen with long black hair, tied back into a ponytail keeps his eyes trained on the pair, though mostly on Rachel. He knew she could sense his presence, but a conversation he had, had with Princess Kakyu came rushing back.
Flashback:
" Seiya, we need to talk. "
Seiya turns to look at his princess, " Yes? "
Princess Kakyu sighs, " Your twin is in danger, someone, at long last has uncovered the secret that was buried so deeply. You're the only one that can watch her without her getting too jumpy or acting rashly. "
End Flashback:
So, now, here he was, watching over his twin sister whom hadn't been reincarnated like everyone else, she and the Lunar Prince had been keeping silent watch over the entire galaxy while everyone else was in the process of being reincarnated. He knew as long as she was near the Lunar Prince no one would dare make an attempt to capture her or kill her, however the Venusian Prince she was with had yet to remember his role, though he would die to see her safe.
Seiya Kou sighs and continues to keep a silent watch over his twin, while his sixth sense was nowhere near as strong as hers he could still sense danger and try to head it off. He wished he could have Yaten and Taiki with him too, he didn't know if he alone would be able to handle the threats that would be heading his sister's way, though she had been defending the colony quite well on her own.
Back with the loving couple they're enjoying the carnival games and food, acting like normal teenagers when disaster struck, a crimson bolt of lightning strikes the middle of the carnival and a monster appears. " What the hell is that? More importantly, why is it here? " Quatre asks.
Everyone else had already run out of the carnival leaving Quatre and Rachel alone, " I don't know, but I damn sure intend to find out, " Rachel says, a weird looking pen in her hands, it had a red wand, and the top looked like a flame symbol, with the symbol of Mars on that.
" What does that mean? " Quatre asks her, he could sense her resolve to fight, but what could she do?
Rachel sighs, " You're about to find out. Mars Planet Power! "
A ring of blazing fire surrounds her as she catches the wand and draws it in a circle, much like an outer scout transformation. Her pose similar to Uranus'. Quatre's eyes widen in shock as he watches his girlfriend transform into Sailor Blaze Mars. She stood there, squaring off with the monster, " Hey, ugly, over here! "
The monster looks at her, " Who are you? "
" Star of Flame. Mars is my guardian! I am Sailor Blaze Mars, and I'm going to barbecue your sorry hide! "
The monster attacks and Sailor Blaze Mars leaps up into the air charging up and attack, " mars Flame Sniper! "
" The fire arrow slams home and the monster staggers before attacking again. Blaze Mars whips around into a roundhouse kick upon landing and a wicked looking blade pops out of the heel of her boot and slices into the monster. The monster screams in pain as Blaze Mars holds a hand in front of her, several kanji symbols floating in midair around her hand, " Mars Celestial Fireā¦. " with this said she makes her hand into a fist, and twists it as she draws it back, then she reverses her previous actions as she shouts, " Surround! "
Her Celestial Fire attack had much more ferocity to it than Super Sailor Mars' and destroys the monster. She smirks and detransforms, " Too easy. "
" Rachel, why didn't you tell me? " Quatre asks.
" Because I didn't want you worrying about me. I have a lot of battle experience, I know what I'm doing, you have enough stress in your life, I just didn't want to add to it. "
Quatre pulls her to him, " I love you, which means I'm going to worry about you regardless. You being a Sailor Scout, while it does surprise me, doesn't add to that, I know how well you can fight, I've seen you spar with Heero. "
Rachel allows herself to relax into his embrace, if he'd know the full truth then he would be worried, if her past caught up to her then she'd be in serious trouble. With her head nestled on his chest Quatre smiles, they didn't often get quiet moments like this to themselves. As he holds her gently Seiya observes them from the shadows, his sister was still a phenomenal fighter and knew how to use her powers, unlike Rei, who had barely scratched the surface.
