"Rei!" Ahri called out as she rushed over to her injured comrade.
"I'm fine" Sailor Mars coughed, clutching at her abdomen. She took a hard hit from an energy blast trying to protect Sailor Moon.
Ahri quickly turned around and held her hands out, creating a weak shield just in time to cover them from another blast. "We have to end this now or it's all over!" she yelled trying with the last bit of her strength to keep her shield up.
"Ahri, take Sailor Moon and run" Mars said, returning to her feet.
"No!" Ahri yelled as another blast hit her shield, "Either we all leave or no one does. I'm not losing anyone else ever again!"
A booming voice laughed from the sky above them, "An admirable and ironic gesture coming from you Reaver!"
The entire sky lit up as a blazing ball of purple energy half the size of the city began descending toward them.
"Rei run!" Ahri yelled focusing all of her power to the top point of her shield.
"No one will escape!" the voice from the sky laughed as another energy blast attacked them from the front and then another from the left, overpowering and shattering Ahri's shield.
Ahri stumbled back before falling to the ground too exhausted to move, her eyes watched the massive energy ball above them still approaching.
"Ahri!" Mars yelled as she kneeled over her.
"Rei…just run" Ahri told her, "Take Usagi and run".
"No" Mars yelled at her before she lifted her into her arms and held her against her chest, "I won't leave you. If you're going to die here then so will I".
Ahri could feel Mars' tears along with her own, the sky getting brighter as the ball of energy grew nearer and nearer. Ahri closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around her lover, but before she could speak her final words a cold mist surrounded them and the ball of energy vanished.
Opening her eyes Ahri looked around, but there was nothing. The mist was so dense she could barely see Mars who was holding her. "What?" she muttered looking around again before seeing the silhouette of someone a few feet from them, "Who are you?"
The figure appeared to turn as if it wasn't facing them. Ahri squinted her eyes to try and focus on the figure as its arm reached around its waist and then pulled back revealing a long sword. The figure immediately raised the weapon over its left shoulder and swung it down as if cutting at something causing the mist to disperse and vanish leaving behind nothing, but total darkness.
Ahri's eyes flew open as she shot up into a sitting position. Ahri took a couple of breaths before realizing she was in a bed, looking around she wasn't in a room that she recognized and it definitely wasn't a hospital room.
Ahri removed the blanket from over her and gently set it to the side before walking over to the window. Stepping out on the balcony she looked out at the city, she was in a large building a condo from what she could tell.
"Oh you're finally awake" a voice said from behind her.
Ahri turned around to see a girl probably just a year or so older than her standing in the doorway. She had golden colored hair with matching eyes, they seemed cold and hard, but there was a slight sense of care from them. She was wearing a white buttoned shirt tucked under a pair of black dress pants as if she was getting ready for an important event or something.
"Who are you?" Ahri asked her, keeping her voice calm and open.
"Actually" the girl said taking a few steps toward Ahri, "I was hoping you could tell me your name first. I mean my partner and I did go out of our way to help you and brought you here to recover".
Ahri lowered her eyes for a second, "Ahri Aragaki".
The girl gave Ahri a bit of a whimsical smile, it seemed playful, but at the same time Ahri could tell that this girl was 'examining' her.
The girl returned to eye contact with Ahri, "My name is Haruka Tenoh, nice to meet you".
The fog in her mind finally began lifting and Ahri smiled at Haruka, "Likewise. It's rare to see someone as pretty as you".
Haruka gave her a flirtatious smile, "Well that was pretty straightforward".
"Definitely not as subtle as you undressing me with your eyes" Ahri replied.
Haruka kept her smile and walked over to her, "You're cute so I'll let that one go. For now" she said before kissing Ahri.
After the quick kiss, Haruka backed away interested to see that Ahri wasn't fazed at all by it.
"You know I hear the second time is even more enjoyable" Ahri told her, "Care for another round?"
Haruka and Ahri heard someone giggling from outside the room, a second girl was standing in the doorway; she had wavy shoulder length teal hair, and matching eyes that seemed to glisten in the light coming from the window.
"Oh Michiru I didn't think you'd be back so soon" Haruka said turning to face her.
The second girl smiled at her, "Good thing I am. I was worried of what might happen if I left you alone with our guest for too long especially if she woke up".
"And just what did you think would happen?" Ahri asked her.
The teal haired girl smiled at her, "Haruka has a habit of flirting with cute girls I was just hoping she wouldn't frighten you with her habits".
"I rather enjoyed it myself" Ahri said looking back to Haruka with a mischievous smile and then back to the other girl, "My name is Ahri Aragaki by the way".
The second girl slightly bowed her head, "Michiru Kaioh a pleasure to meet you Ahri".
"I should thank you two for helping me" Ahri said bowing her head to both of them, "Although I don't really recall what happened".
"Well we found you lying in the middle of the park you didn't look hurt, but we couldn't just leave you" Haruka said, "You did wake up, but only for a few seconds since you weren't injured we brought you here to let you rest a bit".
Ahri bowed her head and thanked them again, "Do the two of you live here alone?"
"Yeah it's just us here" Haruka replied before giving an affectionate smile to Michiru.
Ahri immediately saw the look in Haruka's eyes as well as Michiru's she knew that look and that smile Haruka gave her, the same look and smile Ahri herself had when she was with Rei.
"So you two are pretty close huh?" Ahri asked.
Both Haruka and Michiru looked at her and nodded, "We've been together for a while now" Haruka told her.
"You make a very lovely couple" Ahri said to them with a sincere look in her eyes mixed with a bit of envy.
"Oh so you can tell we have that kind of relationship then?" Haruka asked her.
Ahri smiled, "That look you gave each other. Its not one shared between friends or family. That was a look only given between people who truly love each other to no end" Ahri gently placed her hand over her chest, "I think it's wonderful personally".
"Cute and sweet" Haruka said turning to Ahri, "Keep that up and I might have to go for that second round".
Ahri smiled and the thought did cross her mind, Haruka was definitely attractive and so was Michiru, but she already had her heart set and shook her head to Haruka. "As nice as that would be I couldn't allow it, playful flirting aside we both have someone we're fully dedicated to" she looked to Michiru "I'm afraid I'll have to take a permanent rain check on that one".
"Now that's a shame" Haruka smiled at her, "And who would this person be?"
"Someone I shared my past life with" Ahri told her, "And I'm hoping to be with her in this life as well".
"And what would you know of past lives?" Michiru asked her. At the time Ahri didn't realize it, but Michiru was speaking with a concealed tone of doubt.
"Quite a lot actually" Ahri told her before getting a familiar feeling from both of them, "For instance, in your past lives you were very dedicated to something or someone, but you were also lonely, perhaps even longing for someone, the same person you were protecting or maybe someone else. Either way you wanted someone you could not reach".
Both Michiru and Haruka hid it, but they were suspicious of Ahri. Her words were way too close to home to be random luck or coincidence; she was definitely hiding something from them.
"An interesting thought" Michiru smiled at her, hiding her suspicion behind a fake expression. "Are you a writer by chance? You've got quite an imagination".
Ahri looked to her, "No I'm not" she answered.
Michiru kept smiling, "Maybe you should consider it, you could use that little description of Haruka and me for something".
"Maybe one day in the future" Ahri said, "But for now I think I should start heading home".
"Leaving already?" Haruka asked her, "Now that's a shame".
"Please stop" Ahri asked her, "It was fun at first, but the flirting has run its course. It's not fair to Michiru and it would be fair to Rei if I continued along with it".
Haruka was silent as Ahri looked at the floor with a disappointed smile, "Thanks for helping me" Ahri said to both of them, "But I should leave before it gets dark, maybe I'll see you two again sometime".
She walked over to Michiru who stepped to the side allowing her to leave the room they were in, "I'll show myself out, thank you again". Ahri walked out of the bedroom and out of the apartment, gently closing the door behind her and leaving both Michiru and Haruka behind.
"What do you think?" Haruka asked her partner.
Michiru had a cold glare in her eyes as she looked at the door Ahri left through, "I don't sense any danger from her, but she makes me uneasy".
"I feel it as well" Haruka said, "There's something about her…Its strange, I can feel sincerity from her, but I can also feel a deep underlying darkness. She has a secret she's hiding…something dangerous".
"Should we follow her?" Michiru asked her.
Haruka was silent as she walked out on the balcony and leaned against the railing, "Maybe...she doesn't seem to be related to our goal, but I feel like we should definitely keep an eye on her".
Michiru joined Haruka on the balcony and leaned against her shoulder, wrapping her arms around hers, "She may be hiding something, but you saw that look in her eyes when she spoke of that other person she was with right? That part of what she said is definitely true. It reminds me of us".
Haruka looked down at the street and saw Ahri on the sidewalk below them; she gave them both a small wave before turning around and running away.
"Haruka!" Michiru gasped before pointing at the sky above the park.
Another black rift was over the park area, "Another one?" Haruka asked before looking down at Ahri who had just ran across the street to the other side, "She's heading that way".
"So she sees it to" Michiru said, "We saw one earlier, but it was gone long before we got there".
"And in its place we found her" Haruka finished, "There's no way that its coincidence she's connected to those, let's go".
Haruka pushed off the rail of the balcony and swiftly walked out of the room with Michiru right behind her. Leaving their apartment the two of them exited the building and into an F512M Ferrari before driving off in the direction of the rift.
"The sea is raging" Michiru said as Haruka drove them toward the park, "Something dangerous is coming from there".
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the park, but just like before the rift had vanished by the time they arrived. "It's gone" Haruka said before they saw Ahri running across the park and into a line of trees, vanishing behind them.
Haruka looked over to Michiru and they nodded at each other before quickly exiting the car and running after Ahri.
Rushing through the trees, both Haruka and Michiru stopped when they saw Ahri and hid themselves behind a single tree as they watched Ahri yelling at someone in a dark cloak that covered his entire body.
"Answer me!" Ahri demanded, "How did you make it through and what are you really after?"
The cloak figure didn't respond its head tilted to the side before it rushed toward Ahri who quickly stepped to the side avoiding the figure.
The cloaked figure clumsily stumbled to a stop before turning around and charging at Ahri again.
"Enough!" Ahri yelled as she ducked down just as the cloaked attacker reached her and grabbed at its legs and pushing back, making it trip.
Grabbing at the collar of the cloak, Ahri lifted her attacker up and ripped the hood from its head revealing a faceless being with ash colored skin and a mouth of pointed teeth. Ahri glared at the creature before pulling her hand back and then punching the creature in the center of its head, knocking it out.
Dropping the creature to the ground Ahri looked around and yelled, "Anrui! I know you're here! Show yourself!"
"Will you stop yelling please" a lazy voice said as a man dressed in a white shirt and short blue jeans approached Ahri, his short black hair was a mess as if he had just woken up. "What do you want?"
"Explain this!" Ahri demanded as she pointed at the creature that attacked her.
Anrui lazily walked over to the unconscious creature and hummed after a single look, "They must've sent a few of the Esquecido after I left. They probably knew I would try and take my time with the rift so they most likely sent them here to force me to speed up the process…thanks for dealing with it".
Ahri clenched her fists, but Anrui quickly spoke up to ease her anger, "You're thinking that I was lying to you earlier right? I mean after I convinced you to trust me I did place you in a trance and then this abomination shows up…I wouldn't trust me either if the roles were reversed".
"You're awfully calm about it" Ahri told him.
"I'm calm about most things" Anrui said to her before turning away, "If you don't trust me then feel free to attack me now, but you know how that will end. I'll keep any more of them from entering this world. Those mindless beasts will attack anything from animals to people". Anrui looked at Ahri over his shoulder, "You still have two weeks before I start opening the rift…You know what make it three weeks the punishment of trying to rush me".
Ahri, slowly unclenched her fists as Anrui walked away from her. A small vortex of dark energy began swirling around him as he walked away, but it was calm and unthreatening within a few seconds Anrui had vanished.
"Well?" Michiru asked Haruka as they watched Anrui vanish.
Haruka narrowed her eyes at Ahri, "We can't take the chance".
Michiru looked a little sad as she nodded her head and they both raised their hands above them just as Ahri screamed. The creature that attacked Ahri had gotten up, but there were two of them now, circling around and growling at her like animals.
"What should we do now?" Michiru asked Haruka, "Let her fight them or help?"
Haruka didn't answer, she watched the two monsters persistently attack Ahri as she evaded them making small counter attacks where she was able.
"Haruka!" Michiru said again after Ahri barely avoided being bitten by one of the monsters.
"Ahri!" multiple female voices called from the other side of the field.
Ahri looked over her shoulder to see the Sailor Senshi rushing over to her. "Ahri are you hurt?" Mars asked her.
Ahri shook her head, "I'm fine, but it looks like the enemy is trying to force its way here, I thought I could defeat this thing since it was alone, but it multiplied before I could".
"Multiplied?" Jupiter asked, "What is it?"
"They're called Esquecido" Ahri told her, "Think of them as disposable soldiers the enemy uses. They multiply in response to physical trauma add to it they're completely mindless so they'll attack without end until killed".
"Are those the same enemies in the visions you showed us?" Venus asked her.
Ahri nodded, "They pose little problem alone, but in numbers they become a considerable force, we can't let them grow".
"Stand back Ahri" Mars said, stepping in front of her, "We'll handle it from here".
"Not a chance" Ahri told her, "I'm not so powerless that I can't defeat grunts like these, I'm fighting as well".
Jupiter crossed her arms in front of her chest and a small rod extended from her tiara, "Jupiter thunder!" she called summoning a bolt of lightning down to her tiara and then directing it at the enemy in front of them.
One of the two enemies were hit and immediately fell to the attack, but the second charged forward to strike. Both Ahri and Mars intercepted the enemy, easily knocking it back and allowing Venus to hit it in the chest with her crescent beam.
Ahri ran over to the Esquecido as it fell to the ground and raised her leg in the air in a half circle motion before bringing it down on its chest.
"Ahri look out!" Mars called as the one Jupiter attacked began getting up.
Ahri turned around and jumped back, the first Esquecido began flailing around as if it was in pain before it looked like it was being pulled in half and finally separated into two.
"Focus our attacks" Mercury quickly told them, "They're physically weak so if we overpower them one at a time we can defeat them".
"Good thinking Mercury" Venus said, "Target the one that just got up then, "Mercury freeze the other".
Mercury nodded, "Leave it to me". The blue haired Senshi crossed her hands in front of her chest summoning a single bubble made of ice before throwing it at one of the two enemies which froze upon impact leaving the other alone.
"Now!" Venus yelled.
With the one frozen and Ahri distracting the other, Venus, Mars and Jupiter charged their attacks and hit the same target, easily overpowering it. After the three attacks hit, the Esquecido stumbled back and fell to the ground, turning to ash.
"Alright now for the other one" Venus said turning to the one that was frozen, "Ready, go!"
Focusing their attacks once again, the three Senshi easily defeated the helpless enemy before turning their attention to Ahri was continued to evade each of the monster's attacks like they were nothing.
Dodging swing after swing, Ahri finally saw her opening and ducked to the side, gracefully spinning around the Esquecido before slamming her elbow against the back of its head knocking it forward.
Stepping away from the enemy, Ahri looked back at the Senshi, "Dust this thing!"
One last time, the three Senshi began focusing their attacks on the final enemy, but before they could attack it pounced on Ahri pinning her to the ground.
"Ahri!" Mars cried running from the others to help her.
The Esquecido opened its mouth and reared back its head ready to bite its victim, but a rose impaled itself into the monster's forehead. The monster was stunned for a second and Ahri took the opportunity and freed her arm and pushed the enemy off of her before jumping away, "Anytime now" she yelled at the others.
Again the three Senshi charged their attacks and unleashed them at the enemy finally destroying it.
"Looks like we got here in time" Sailor Moon's voice called as she and Tuxedo Mask ran over to them.
"Indeed" Ahri said turning to face them, "Looks like I owe you one then Prince Endymion".
"Sorry we're late" Sailor Moon laughed awkwardly, "We weren't exactly close by".
"I'll let it slide this time" Ahri said as she got up, "For now let's just go home…I can't deal with anymore surprises today".
As they all left, none of them were aware that Haruka and Michiru were still watching them from the tree line.
"So they helped her?" Haruka said, "Either she's their ally or pretending to be in order to lower their guard".
"She was here when that thing appeared" Michiru noted, "And then that person she was talking to said he was going to open that rift in three weeks, they know each other and she knows about the rift, she came right here when it first appeared".
Neither of them knew what to make of the situation, but they still had the same idea.
Haruka looked away from the group and at Michiru, "Whatever the reasons are for it; that girl is a threat we can't let her endanger this world until we find the princess".
Michiru agreed, "She's knows too much and is probably hiding even more…for the sake of peace we can't let her live, but the others. We weren't going to reveal ourselves to them yet. They might try to interfere".
"Then we will fight them if we have to" Haruka told her, "We can't risk it if they grow to hate us then so be it. We're not meant to be friends with them our job is to find and protect our princess nothing more".
The gang returned to Rei's shrine even though it was getting late, they sat on the steps of the shrine and starred at the sky as the sun set and the stars began appearing.
"Sights like this you don't really get to appreciate very often" Ahri said while sitting on the railing of the shrine.
"That reminds me" Rei began, looking over her shoulder at Ahri, "Where did you run off to today?"
Ahri looked down at her, "I saw a rift open above the park and went to check it out".
"Another rift?" Makoto asked her, "Did anything else appear?"
Ahri was silent for a few seconds, she was trying to decide if she should tell them about Anrui or not. He was the enemy, but he didn't feel like he was something about him felt…friendly even familiar.
"Ahri?" Makoto said lightly shaking her.
Ahri snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Makoto, "Sorry I zoned out there".
Makoto chuckled, "Come on don't do that" her expression suddenly changed, "Those things we fought. How did they get here?"
Ahri lowered her head, "When I tore open time to escape here. I was too weak to close it; I was hoping they wouldn't notice before the guardian of time repaired it".
"The guardian of time?" Makoto asked her, "Wait you don't mean"
"Sailor Pluto" Minako finished.
Ahri nodded, "Sailor Pluto tried to stop me when I first tried to travel between the two times, but when I told her what I was doing she agreed to let me go. The thing is the method I used to tear open time isn't something that's easily repaired even for someone of her power".
Ami asked, "So since those Esquecido things are here does that mean the enemy is to?"
Ahri shook her head, "I don't sense any of them and I didn't sense them nearby during the fight so I think only their grunts made it through".
"Do you think the rift is repaired now?" Makoto asked Ahri.
Ahri sighed, "I hope so. Two openings in one day doesn't sit well with me…"
"So what does this mean for us then?" Minako asked, "If the enemy is here we need to start preparing now".
"No" Ahri blurted out. The others looked at her confused as to why she suddenly yelled. Ahri quickly composed herself before speaking, "I mean…I don't sense anyone now, but give me a day just to be sure. If I sense any of them nearby I'll let you know and we'll plan from there".
"So I guess this cancels our vacation then?" Makoto said in a gloomy tone, "I was looking forward to a weekend at the beach".
"Oh I forgot all about that" Ami said, "I was looking forward to it as well, a chance to study out in the sun sounds fun".
Everyone except Mamoru hung their head at Ami's words. "Alright new rule" Ahri said jumping off the rail and placing her arm over Ami's shoulder and pulling her closer, "No more mentioning of the word study or any variation of it until school starts again deal?"
"I second that" Usagi said.
"Third" Minako cheered before they all started laughing.
"Still" Usagi said, folding her arms on the railing and leaning forward, "The beach sounds really nice".
"Tell you what" Ahri said removing her arm from Ami and walking over to Usagi, "If I don't detect the enemy anywhere in the city we'll go, no training and no planning we'll just pack and leave a whole weekend of fun in the sun. Sound good?"
Usagi's face lit up as she cheered, "Alright now that sounds like a plan to me. I should go pick out a bathing suit I haven't worn my old one in so long it probably doesn't fit anymore. What do you think Mamoru?"
Mamoru blushed slightly, "Uh well I…"
"Oh come on don't be so shy, you should come with and help me decide on the cutest one".
"What do you think Minako?" Makoto asked her friend.
Minako answered almost immediately, "Well I've wanted to go before summer even started so I say let's do it".
"Alright so we have two votes for going" Makoto said before looking to Ami and Rei, "Well what do you guys think?"
Ami looked down at the ground for a second and then back to Makoto, "You know what I think I'll be fine if I skip studying for a few days. I'm in".
Ahri gently flicked Ami's ear when she finished speaking.
"Ahri?" Ami asked looking over to her and holding her ear.
"What was the rule?" Ahri asked her before a smile broke out on her face and then Rei started laughing.
"Whoa am I dreaming?" Usagi asked, "Is Rei actually laughing? I always thought she was a humorless witch".
Rei stopped laughing and glared at Usagi, "I dare you to say that again".
"Oh what didn't hear me the first time?" Usagi asked her.
"Alright that's enough" Ahri said stepping between them, "So we've got three votes in favor of yes, mine is also on yes and I assume Makoto says the same so that makes five so Rei, Mamoru what about you?"
Rei smiled and nodded, "I'm in".
That only left Mamoru to answer. With so many eyes on him at once, Mamoru felt uncomfortable, but eventually agreed to go. "Fine I'll go to".
Usagi cheered, "Oh I just knew you would, I can't wait to have my own room with you Mamoru all to ourselves".
"Usagi I can't really afford a place at the beach for a whole weekend" Mamoru said, but as always Usagi was too busy daydreaming to listen.
"Actually" Ahri said grabbing their attention, "The room assignments will be as such, Ami and Makoto, Rei and myself and Usagi will be rooming with Minako. Mamoru will be sleeping on the couch".
"Oh come on" Usagi cried, "Can't Minako room with someone else? I want Mamoru to room with me".
"Oh ok fine" Ahri said, "If that's the way you want it you can pay for it then deal?"
Usagi hung her head in defeat with a cloud of disappointment over her while Ahri giggled, "I just want to say" she said quickly calming herself, but keeping a small smile on her face, "Even though we have a difficult enemy to face in the future, I'm really glad I got the chance to know all of you. Thank you".
"What are you getting so sentimental for? Makoto asked her, "You're talking like this is the last time you'll ever see us or something".
Ahri giggled again, "Sorry guess I'm just not good with words like that…I'm just happy is all".
"Yeah" Makoto nodded, "I am to".
"So am I" Ami said.
Minako agreed as well, even Usagi even though she whined through most of Ahri's training.
They spent another brief hour together before the sun was gone and it was time for everyone to head home. "Well I guess that's it for today" Makoto said saying goodnight to everyone before she left.
Usagi and Mamoru left as well with Ami along with them, leaving Minako with Rei and Ahri.
"Well it's been fun" Minako said as she got up, "Oh Ahri, if you have the time tomorrow I need to talk to you about something alright?"
Ahri nodded at her, "Alright just let me know when".
Minako smiled and nodded back, "Right well see you two tomorrow". She turned around and ran off leaving Rei and Ahri alone on the shrine's porch.
Ahri looked at Rei and lowered her eyes, "I'm sorry if I worried you today".
Rei moved her eyes away from her as well, "I'm glad you're ok, but next time you feel like running off somewhere let me know ok? I don't want anything to happen to you".
Ahri apologized again and Rei asked her why she ran off alone.
Ahri finally looked at her, "I can feel my abilities growing weaker with each passing day, I…I just felt like I wasn't going to be any help once the enemy finally showed up. So when I saw the rift I felt like I had to prove I could still fight…or at least enough to force them back if they did come through".
"You don't have to prove anything Ahri" Rei told her, "Even if you can't fight anymore by the time they get here I'll fight for you we all will. We'll protect you".
"That's just it Rei" Ahri said, "If you need to protect me that means you can't focus your attention on protecting Usagi, I'll just be distracting you from your original goal".
"Don't say that" Rei told her, "It's true that I have to protect Usagi it's my duty and I'll never neglect that, but I'll protect you as well not because I have to, but because I want to. You're too important to me to not protect you if you're in trouble, so no more running off on your own ok?"
Ahri lowered her head to hide her smile, "I'll agree to that on two conditions. One when we go to the beach and everyone else is asleep you and I go to have some fun of our own, just the two of us".
"And the second?" Rei asked her, crossing her arms in front of her stomach.
Ahri looked up to her, "I get to room with you tonight".
Rei blushed and dropped her arms before looking away, but she was smiling slightly.
"You said you would protect me right?" Ahri asked her, "Maybe I'm afraid of sleeping alone in the dark. Maybe I need someone to comfort me".
"I get it" Rei said with a small smile before taking Ahri's hand and leading her back to her room.
"No funny business" Rei told her as they both climbed into her bed.
Ahri asked her, "Don't you trust me?"
Rei smiled as she gently took Ahri's hand, "I still can't explain it" she said, "But I feel like we really were meant to be together. When you disappeared earlier I was frightened worried that if something happened to you…I think that…my memories of you are becoming a little more clearer each day and they're reminding me of how important we were to each other".
Ahri smiled sadly, "In the future…I didn't awaken to my memories until after the enemy attacked. I never got the chance to become friends with the others or tell you how I felt. I'm glad I got a second chance at that".
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you when you first got here Ahri" Rei told her.
Ahri closed her eyes with a smile, "Its all in the past, as long as I get to stay with you I'll be happy".
"Good night Ahri" Rei whispered before closing her own eyes.
