Jade's eyes widened in shock as she scrambled backwards and away from the talking cat. "W-What? Did you just talk?" she stammered, her hand quivering beside her face.
i"Don't be foolish! Of course she didn't talk!"/i she confidently told herself, shaking her head roughly and staring at the cat.
"Yes, I most certainly did. I have some very important things to explain to you." the cat pressed on, in no way alarmed by her reactions but simply thankful that she didn't toss her across the room or something more violent. "Which reminds me, I am Syno. Your guide cat."
"Guide cat? What on Earth are you talking about?" Jade leaned forward and cocked her head to the side in both curiousity and confusion.
Syno gave an exasperated sigh, a low growl emmiting from her throat. "Just be quiet and listen," she said firmly, leaping up and stretching out casually on Jade's pillows. The cat looked around the room and stumbled across a poster of the famous Sailor Moon characters on the opposite wall. "You are one of them."
Jade narrowed her eyes at the cat and looked to the poster shaking her head in a half-annoyed way. "What? They're fictional characters. How can I be one of them?"
i"Serena had had a talking cat come to her with an odd symbol upon her head when she discovered her true identity. Something of the like happened to the other senshi as well. This was really happening! The senshi were real!"/i Jade suddenly realized. Her eyes grew in size as she looked at Syno with her mouth slightly ajar in shock.
"You are Sailor Aries. First of the Zodiac senshi," Syno blinked her large yellow eyes at Jade like she had before and shifted positions. "You are the Sailor of the Ram. At another point in time you will encounter the other Zodiac senshi. Aquarius, Pisces, Sagittarius, Taurus, Leo, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Capricorn. Aries is the first of all these, there for you will be their leader."
Jade opened her mouth to ask a question, but Syno silenced her with a look, "You do not remember this because of the epic battle in Crystal Tokyo that I am sure you have heard of," Jade nodded and shut her mouth to allow Syno to continue.
Syno continued talking on and on about Jade's real past, the balls and other battles her own parents had fought in and even tales of her true childhood. After a while, Jade finally pulled herself from this fantasy she felt like she was re-living and cocked her head to the side. "Um... Syno? What about my henshin stick? I didn't happen to see one tied to your neck or anything." she piped up, causing the black and white cat to open a single lamp-like yellow eye. "Ah... yes." Syno purred. Stretching and climbing off the pillows she sat upright and shut her eyes once again, only to fill the room with an almost blinding maroon light streaked with golden sparkles. When Jade peaked over her arms that she had used as a shield for her eyes, she spotted a long, slender stick laying on her bed.
The henshin stick was maroon and had a dull metalic sheen to it, with a gold ring around the bottom. At the top was a rather long, curved gold blade with tiny diamonds encrusted along the back edge. Shimmering brilliantly and dangling from the end on a small gold chain was an Aries charm with tiny diamonds at each point.
Syno stretched out and yawned loudly, then proceeded to roll onto her back and purr softly. "We should get some sleep now. We'll start your training tomorrow... after breakfast." Jade laughed and stroked her new cat before she felt contentedly to sleep, the cat purring continously and Jade stretched out on her bed still fully clothed.

Author's Note: Okay... so here's the second chapter. Sorry it seems sort of short and... icky, but I've been sort of depressed and tired lately. PLEASE give me reviews, I need these to know what people think of my writing and so on and so forth. I'll accept flames as well as compliments as long as they're somehow relevant to the fan fiction and not personal attacks.
