Author's Note: Moshi-moshi! So, gomen nasai for not getting this up sooner, it's been done for a while now...and gomen for the shortness of the chapter. But...thank you to babygirl14 for my ONE review! Come on people, if you want more chapters sooner, i need a little more than ONE review per chapter. So, that's all for now.

Disclaimer: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon and all related arcs/characters/settings/plotlines belong to Takeuchi Naoko-sama. Not me. I also do not own the two lines of song lyrics at the beginning of the chapter. The lyrics are from "Haunted" by Evanescence, and they belong to that band. I do, however, own the plotline of this story, the character Sailor Eternal Star/Tsukino Chiyoko-chan, and any other character that you do not recognize from previously stated anime.

Just So You Know: Okay, so every time a senshi henshins or uses an attack, the dialogue will be in all caps. The only exception to this rule is Sailor Pluto's attack, "Dead Scream." In the anime, she whispers the attack, so it will not be put in caps. The Star Rod is obviously the long stick the Sailor Eternal Star uses to perform her attacks.
Aishiteru means I Love You
Onegai
means Please
Ohayo
and Ohayo-nasai mean Good Morning
Hai
means Yes
Demo
means But
Minna means Everyone
Henshin means Transform.
Baka means Idiot.


Chapter Two
A New Enemy?

Long lost words whisper slowly to me…

Still can't find what keeps me here…

"Chiyo-chan…" his voice whispered at night, haunting her in her dreams. Recent memories filled her with longing. It was the same thing every night; suddenly, she'd see his face, his green eyes, so clear. The bright green spheres stared loving at her, and he'd say, "Chiyo-chan, aishiteru…" And then she'd wake up in a cold sweat.

Tonight, though, was different. Tonight, when she saw his face clearly, she felt like she was actually there, on Kinmoku, next to him. "Yaten-chan!" she cried in her dream, reaching for him.

"Chiyo-chan, you can't be here!" he called, staring at her in surprise. "You just can't! Sailor Moon will need you very soon! You have to go back!"

Chiyoko's dream-eyes widened. "Then…am I really here?"

"I don't know how, Chiyo-chan, but you can't be here right now. They can't save the world without you. You must go back!" He started to fade away.

"No, Yaten-chan! Don't go!" She reached for him, and caught his smooth hand.

He stared at her. "Chiyo-chan, I can't come back right now. You have to go on alone for a little while. Onegai, let go."

Chiyoko shook her head. Tears started to form in her sapphire eyes. "Not without you, Yaten-chan."

Yaten smiled sadly. "I can't. I wish I could, Chiyo-chan. But they need me here, just as Sailor Moon needs you there." He brought her close, and they shared one tender, brief kiss before he let her go. "Aishiteru, Chiyo-chan…"

"Yaten-chan! Matte!" the raven-haired girl called, but it was no use. She was falling, falling, into the darkness which she so feared…

Sitting up with a gasp, Chiyoko was suddenly and completely awake. She sat for a minute in stunned silence, but before long, she curled up and started crying into her knees. "Yaten-chan…" she sobbed.


"Chiyoko-chan!" Usagi called. "Let's go to school!" The blonde girl had actually gotten up on time this morning (thanks to Chiyoko's scheduling) and found it quite odd that the raven-haired girl was not up and about; Chiyoko was usually an early riser.

Once again, Usagi shouted, "Chiyoko-chan! We're going to be late!"

Finally, Usagi heard a voice float down from the old attic-turned-bedroom. "Go on without me, Usagi-chan. I don't feel so well…"

Usagi's eyes widened at the rough quality of Chiyoko's voice. She must be really sick, Usagi thought to herself, Oh, I hope it's not contagious!

"I'll be back after school, Chiyoko-chan! Feel better!" Usagi said as a parting statement. "I'm leaving now!" Usagi called to anyone else in the house, before slipping her shoes on and exiting.

It was only a short while before Usagi met Ami at the front door. "Ohayo-nasai, Usagi-chan. What brings you here so early?"

"I woke up early!" Usagi smiled, but then remembered Chiyoko and frowned again. "Ami-chan, are you free after school today?"

Ami thought quickly. "Hai. Why do you ask?"

"Because Chiyoko said this morning she was sick. That's why she's not here. Demo, I don't know what's wrong with her. She seemed fine yesterday…"

Ami blinked. "It could just be a cold, Usagi-chan. I'm sure some hot soup and plenty of rest will make her feel better. Maybe Mako-chan could make her some soup."

"Mako-chan could what?" a new voice piped up. Ami and Usagi looked up to see Makoto towering over them. Minako was standing next to her.

"Chiyoko-chan's sick," Usagi said. "I wanted to make her feel better, and Ami-chan suggested hot soup. Could you make her some, Mako-chan? Onegai?"

"Well…" Makoto began, but she was interrupted by a ghastly shout.

"What the…" Minako said, turning immediately to her right, where two people in sailor fuku were hopping rooftops right in front of her.

"GET BACK HERE WITH MY DISK, YOU WRETCH!" the second figure shouted angrily.

"Is…is that Sailor Eternal Star?" Makoto said, peering curiously at the figure.

"But I thought Chiyoko-chan was sick?" Minako said, glancing suspiciously at Usagi, who shrugged in confusion.

Ami piped up just then. "Now's not the time for that! Listen!"

The four girls listened, and it wasn't long before they heard several explosions and even more screams of terror.

"Minna! Henshin!" Usagi cried, and the girls ran around to a deserted alleyway.

"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE-UP!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE-UP!"

"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER! MAKE-UP!"

"MOON ETERNAL! MAKE-UP!"

Immediately after transforming, the four girls ran towards the explosions, determined to catch the perpetrator. They found the mystery girl and Sailor Eternal Star in the middle of a ruined street four blocks down.

"Now give it back or I'll destroy you!" Sailor Eternal Star was saying as Sailor Moon and her gang showed up.

The mystery girl laughed. She was hidden in shadow, and Sailor Moon couldn't see who she was. "Do you honestly think you can hurt me?"

Sailor Eternal Star growled. "CRYSTAL STARLIGHT…"

"Hold it right there!"

The raven-haired senshi whirled around angrily. "What the hell are you doing, Sailor Moon?"

"In case you haven't noticed, Eternal Star, I'm an agent of love and justice, the pretty sailor senshi: Sailor Moon! And when people go along blowing things up, I just have to be there! And in the name of the moon," she turned her attention to the shadowy girl. "I'll punish you!"

"Ah, so it is you," the girl said, smiling evilly. She stepped forward into the sunlight. Usagi gasped.

"R-rei-chan?"

"No, baka!" Sailor Eternal Star growled, holding her Star Rod steady. "She is very well not Rei-chan, and you know it! Don't let her fool you."

"Shut it, Tsukino-san." The girl who looked so much like Rei moved forward, almost to the point of Eternal Star's rod.

The girls' hair was raven-black, just like Rei's, and was as long; however, it was pulled up into a high ponytail, tied with a huge purple bow. The amethyst eyes glittered maliciously, and her fuku was like Sailor Mars in reverse: instead of a red skirt, heels, collar, sleeves, choker, and red-trimmed gloves, it was purple. The bow on her chest was red, the jewel in the center was purple, and the bow at the back of her skirt was red. The jewelry on her head, including the jewel on her tiara, was purple, but the small star on her choker was still yellow.

"I know who you are..." the senshi said. "You're Tsukino Usagi, sixteen years old, in the first of high school."

Sailors Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus gasped. Sailor Eternal Star's eyes narrowed.
