Chapter 4

Hotaru pov

As the car pulled onto the early morning traffic jam. Hotaru opened her bag and Tsuki jumped out. "Are we there yet," she bounced.

Hotaru rolled her eyes and smiled at the pup. "Not yet Tsuki we got stuck in a traffic jam. Her long inky purply-black hair shone as she shook her head as the fall sun caught it.

"Tsuki! What happened to staying hidden?" Haruki panicked, eyeing the woman.

The woman smiled and shook her head as she patted Haruki's knee.

"She's fine Kazuo-Kun" the woman replied. Haruki shifted in his seat. 'That felt strange yet familiar,' Haruki thought.

"I'm allowed out now, we're not in public anymore," Tsuki argued, sitting on the seat next to Hotaru as the car began to move.

Hotaru grinned. Poor Haruki looked chastised and confused. She went into her backpack and opened a secret compartment where a dried framed flower was. It was nothing special, just a purple tulip that Shingo had given her when they were small. She always felt even when she was little there was more to her parents than met the eye. It was confirmed when she told her mom she got the "flier," as she pronounced it, from go-chan who she was going to marry when she was a big girl. Her mom nodded, smiled, and put it in a bright purple box frame and then put a shiny silver ribbon tied into a pretty bow on it.

The bow was old and worn now. After all it was fifteen years old. She swept at a stray tear. Why did her parents have to die? She shook her head. She had a new destiny, which meant she did still have a family, maybe not related by blood, but if the Tsukinos were as she remembered they would take her in. If they didn't have the room she felt she knew she could live with the woman in front of her and 2 others she couldn't quite place…

Shingo POV

Tomatsu lifted his head from sulking and sniffed the air. "They won't be long now and the rest are gathering at the Hikawah jinja to sort the welcome party for later."

Shingo rolled his eyes. The poor girl had just lost her father, would she want such a big fuss?

"Watashi wa yukuyo!" A stream of silvery blonde hair whizzed past Shingo.

"Usagi-chan!" Shingo shouted

"Yes Shingo?" the bouncy blonde replied.

"Make sure they don't go overboard. She's just lost her dad" Shingo replied.

"We won't. Right, gotta go. Mamo-Chan is in the car waiting. Don't forget 7pm at the shrine!" And with a thud was out the door.

Shingo shook his head. She may be almost twenty-one years old but his sister, though no longer a cry baby, would never change, and that's what he loved. He knew she didn't want to be queen, but he knew how much hate there could be in the world. After all he'd been the Blue Moon Knight for the best part of four years, and the only way the hate would stop was if the united group brought an era of peace, making them the ruling royals of earth and the new Silver Alliance.

"Tomatsu, do you think she will still like me, it's been quite a few years?" Shingo asked

The wolf pup nodded, " although you never formed the soul bond due to Beryls lies the friendship you shared as children back then and as youngsters in the present day formed the very basis of that bond. Luna-sama was telling me before the prince and princess got together they teased each other mercilessly but they were always drawn together whether it was Usagi-sama bumping into Mamoru-sama, or them teasing each other at the crown, they were slowly falling in love and then at the masquerade ball she saved him and that was it," Tomatsu replied.

Shingo nodded. "Pretty much. He discovered her identity and the night she collapsed from healing the city after Zo attacked her, her transformation fell and Mamoru, as Tuxedo Kamen, took her to his home safe and then he started calling her Usako and it blossomed from there," Shingo filled in the details

"Have you still not forgiven them? The Shitennou, I mean" Tomatsu asked.

"I don't know Tomatsu. I mean I understand that they were brainwashed and it was not them but it doesn't change what they did to the girls. I see them all as my big sisters. Well, apart from Hotaru," he blushed.

"I know it's hard to accept Shingo, but they were not just brainwashed, they were tortured and if they showed the slightest inclination of returning to the right side they were put in coffins that filled them with dark energy." Tomatsu shuddered remembering the nightmares that Jadeite had the night he had to stay at the shrine and the torturous conversation endured with Rei after they finally got him awake.

Shingo nodded, understanding why the girls and Mamoru had taken them back after some work.

There was a knock at the door bringing Tomatsu and Shingo out of their respective thoughts

Shingo opened the door and three people and a pup bounced in.

"Tomatsu!" Tsuki squealed.

"Tsuki," Tomatsu sighed in relief

"Shingo?"

"Hotaru."

"Haruki."

"Setsuna?"
