They all decided to go to Makoto's palce. Gathered round the coffee table sitting on sofas and chairs the senshi sipped coffees and teas from their mugs trying to calm down after the horrible evening. It was nearing 11:00 o'clock and all the girls where looking at Mamoru.

They didn't want to pressure him, seeing that he already was so shaken up.

Mamoru stood by the window looking at the sky when he started to talk.

„i don't know where to start really..." he began , turning towards the girls and leaning against Makotos balcony doors.

„ We are twins, me and Futago, and i don't know why i didn't remember her until now..., she was the earth's princess in the old millenium." he stopped to drink some coffee

„ we were typical syblings, sometimes we fought but we loved each other very much, everytime i got into trouble she had my back and she always helped me, maybe that's why our mother called her the peacemaker, anyway, she was chosen by earths generals to be the earths sailor, sailor sun, for you see Futago had a power, a power that the rulers of earth realized would come in handy if ever a war started,she on the other hand wanted to use this power for peace and good,i have a simular power to heal wounds, but it's nothing compared with my sister, they even thought she could be more powerfull then the entire universe...Futago always begged me to help her escape her destiny but it was too late... even i sold out on her a little,.. believing that was the right thing to do..." he trailed of closing his eyes

The senshi started to worry, if she wanted peace why has she become the thing she hated all along.

„Mamoru thats fine, but why does she want to kill her own brother, did you hurt her? Kill somebody she loved? Her anger was so strong even i felt it.." said Michiru

Mamoru rubbed the ridge of his nose with his fingers.

„all i can say is that when we grew up and the war between lunarians and earth began, something changed on the day we all were reencarnated,some minutes before i died, i lost sight of Futago on the battle fields, i was trying to help her get to all of you and the queen of the moon , to stop the attack from being completed,she told me to get to serenity help her escape in time, so that she could use her powers to stop everything what happened. I remember a sudden blast of energy just as i saw my sister i tried to run to her help her but something took hold of me, i couldn't move, like an invisible rope tied around me, and everytime i tried to fight it, the grip became stronger, as i struggled the ground shook, ripped open and the part where Fugao was standing collapsed into a gaping ravine...she thought i didn't want to help her, that i abandoned her, but someone took control of me, just as soon as my sister was gone i could move again..." he finished lowering his head, wrinkling his closed eyes remembering the fatefull day.

„ so your telling us, she was so devastated thinking you abandoned her, she swore revenge on you? Is that why she so determined to get you?" asked Ami looking stunned.

Setsuna got up from the couch and looked at the others

„i belive that somebody intended to make her think that the prince left her,she loved peace like serenity, you saw the way she looked at Usagi,her hatred died down a little, it's not possible that her evil is natural, i think somebody took advantage of her pure and inosent heart,just like the time samll-lady was taken over by wise man...but that does not change the fact that we're in deep trouble unless we find the sorce of her brain-washing or the thing which controls her it means trouble for us..."Setsuna finished sipping her tea.

„ok so what do we do?" asked Rei still absorbing the whole situation

„i shall look through the time gates try to find out what happened that fatefull battle day, in that time depart to your houses , be in contact all time, if anything out of the ordinary happens let the others know straight away, i will be as quickly as possible" with that she opened her hand , and the time jewel appered before their eyes, Setsuna whispered a short spell which opened a portal and she dissapeared.

The others slowly started getting up form their seats and departing for their houses. Usagi took Mamorus hand

„Come on Mamo-chan let's go home, rest a while ok?" he turned to her ,smiled weakly and nodded.

They walked to where their car was parked, got in , he turned the keys in the ignition and pulled out from the parking spot.

Driving home Mamoru was thinking,lost in his thoughts. As he changed the gears, he tired to concentrate on driving but couldn't. Usagi turned her head towards him. She never saw him so ...defeated.

„Mamoru..."

„Yhy..."

„would you like something?"

„what do you mean?"

„...well being it so intense i thought you'd like something to cheer you up, at least for a little while i don't know, a movie, book, food..."

He smiled for the first time that evening

„your sweet, thanks but i'm good, don't worry about me..." he replied, in half whisper, she smiled back a sort of sad smile turned to look out her passenger window, and silence took over them again.

Finally they were home. Usagi got out of the car and straightend. She turned to see Mamoru closing the car , trying to avoid yawning, his eyes circled and tired. She put her hands on her hips

„alright you, bed , you look like the walking dead, now go" she comanded putting her hands on his shoulders leading him towards their apartment.

„ok,ok i'm going, it's just been such a hectic day,sleep just isn't on my mind.."they walked through the main entrence of the flat.

„well, it's going to be, now up" she said pushing him in the lift which came down.

They opened and walked in their apartment, turning on the lights in the hall. Mamoru jumped a little, when Usagi suddenly let out a happy little cry

„Mamo-chan..." she walked up to their balcony door, putting her hands on the glass smiling „...it's snowing"her eyes fixed on the tiny cold stars falling gently from the sky.

Mamoru smiled. She always made him smile, she always made him happy, her aura was so innocent that he was overjoyed when it hit him. A warm feeling came flooding into his chest. Oh, how he loved this girl for not asking him anything more about tonight, just letting him have his bit of peace,he knew she understood him without saying anything.

Walking up to her he put his arms around her and nuzzled his head into her sholder, looking through the window with her.

„thank you..." he whispered into her ear,tickling it a little with his colsed her eyes and nestled her head against his. Her hands touched his.

„i know Mamo-chan...i know" she let out a sigh." i know it's complicated but you'll be fine, we'll help her i just know it"

Mamoru unraveled his hands from her waist and sat down on the couch, his head falling backwards looking up at the ceiling. The hatred and evilness which was painted on his sisters face haunted could he forget her? How could this be happening? , how could he let it happen? , who cursed him into not letting him help her? His anger rising, how could someone tore him away from his twin? Turn her against him? He put his palms on his eyes, groaning in anger.

Usagi walked over to the back of the sofa to Mamoru , placed her hands on his cheeks ,neared her lips to his and kissed him. He instantly forgot his torment and pain kissing her back. She broke away and looked at him narrow eyed

„Mamo-chan, you have to stay focused and ready for anything, for her, so stop torturing youself and get a grip, i know it's difficult but we'll get her back, i promise you." and she sat down next to him.

„just hearing you say it makes it better" he whispered and hugged her.

His hands touched her hips and he kissed her again. She colsed her eyes and put her hands on his neck pulling him closer.

„could we finish what we started earlier?" he whispered in her ear „ i need you.."

She just managed to nod her head inbetween all the kissing and touching and reached for Mamoru's shirt buttons undoing them one by one...

Setsuna was standing facing the door of time. The time jewel glowed as she searched for anything connected with Futago and sailor sun's past.

Getting angry she looked on and on.

„come on..." she said to herself „there has to be something..."

All of a sudden the time jewels glow bursted out into light opening the portal and shoing her a scene, she stopped and looked at the image and gasped...

„oh no...can't be..." she looked in terror

„OH YES IT CAN!" a voice suddenly shouted out of no where, and in seconds Sailor sun appeared in front of her destroying the portal. Setsuna narrowed her eyes

„Sun we have to help you, you can't go on like this"

Futago smirked

„my master isn't going to be happy with you, medling in the time like that"

„Sun listen to me, you were ticked into this you and Endy..."

„Don't Ever say his name in my presence!" she spat out, anger rising, Eyes glowing red.

„BUT YOU WERE TRICKED, HE WANTED TO HELP, BUT COULDN'T PLEASE LISTEN LET ME SHOW...!"

„NO!" Sun's booming voice silenced Setsuna „ he left me to die, he betrayed me, after everything i had done for him, and all of you, you just let me perish" she paused, was Setsuna seeing things or did Futagos eyes start to tear up

„i would have died for any of you, but the way all of you left me, used me, i will NEVER forgive you!"

„Listen to me, the demon which took you from us is using you, and he used a curse spell to make you belive we left you, please sun, listen to reason, we never left you why would we betray a fellow senshi?"

Sun looked at her amused

„maybe jealousy? Your powers came from me i gave you half of my soul for you to fight, do you know what it feels like to rip your soul into 9 parts so that you could have powers to protect the princess of the moon?I did it for her...the only soul pure enough, and you let her die...you used me... Maybe you figured this out and you all started to think to get rid of me, have the powers for yourselves, all of you make me sick!" with that she threw a blast at pluto knocking her down. Setsuna got to her knees and stood up.

„Sun your brainwashed..." Futago walked towards Setsuna

„Pluto,pluto,pluto...do you really think that after this i would belive a stupid story like brainwashing? The only one who showed me the truth is my master, but never mind , i just came here to stop you and recive that what rightfully is mine"

Sun threw a spell at setsuna, She couldn't move.

„hold still, don't worry it won't hurt...that much" Futago grinned and touched Setsuna's forhead.

She screamed, her body was burning from the inside, the pain was unbearable. Sun finished and looked her in the eyes

„sorry no more powers...now go tell the others what's in store for them..." with that she waved her hand and Pluto dissapeared. Futago looked at her palm

„mmmmm...nice to have the time back in your life..." her laughter echoed as she held the time jewel, just for it to dissapear in her hand.

Setsuna woke up, she was back on earth. She stood up , the cold wind and snow tickled her face. She looked at her palm.

„Time jewel appear..."

nothing

„time jewel APPEAR"

still nothing happend.

„My God..." she thought „ she is stealing our senshi powers..."
