Chloe felt her stomach twisting and turning in knots as she and Makoto walked down the sidewalk towards the Hikawa Shrine. The communicator was in her back pocket, the original henshin pen for Jupiter with a green base and a simple gold top. "Are they nice?" Chloe asked quietly.

Makoto smiled slightly at the Jovian girl. "You'll be fine," she assured the redhead. "Usagi-chan will be excited to see you... probably. But either way, both she and Ami-chan will be sweet, Rei-chan, Minako-chan and Haruka-san will probably be fairly... well, rude, to be honest. Michiru-san will be fairly cold, and there's no telling how Hotaru-chan and Setsuna-san will react."

"So... I'm walking up to the table of people who hate me and sitting down to each lunch," Chloe deduced.

"Kind of, yeah," Makoto confessed. "And then there's Mamoru-kun. His reaction is impossible to guess."

Chloe bit her lip and continued walking with Makoto. As they grew closer to the shrine, Chloe saw a sandy-haired woman dressed in men's clothes. And she was glaring.

"Is that Haruka-san?" Chloe asked, sensing the answer.

"What do you think?" Makoto asked quietly.

The two walked up the stairs, Haruka following after them. She kept a close eye on the two, as well as on the fact that Chloe was carrying the first henshin wand for Jupiter. They walked into the meeting room, aka Rei's bedroom, to see the rest of the senshi along with Mamoru.

"Konnichiwa," Chloe said nervously as Makoto put the lasagna down on the table.

Usagi forced a smile on her face and approached Chloe. "It's nice to meet you," the blonde said, getting up to bow politely in front of Chloe. Chloe bowed back, not knowing what else to do. Usagi had been the only one kind enough to get up and bow.

"Minna," Makoto addressed the group, "this is Dupont Chloe. In our past lives, when she was a little girl and I was visiting Jupiter, her horse ran away with her on it. I stopped the horse and got her to safety, and she told me that when she died, she wanted me to be Sailor Jupiter. So, in this life... I was."

The other senshi and Mamoru looked to her in shock. There was no possible way Makoto couldn't be Sailor Jupiter... right?

"Chloe-chan here is the real Diônê Jovia," Makoto continued. "She has been given back her powers, and I am to accept the powers I originally had. My name in the past was Demeter Lycosta. I was the fifth shitennou of Earth, Tanzanite. When-" Makoto caught herself before mentioning Beryl. "When Earth was attacked, the other shitennou ordered me to take Endymion to the moon for his safety-"

Makoto was cut off by Mamoru getting up and slapping her across the face. "Ow," she whispered, surprised by the attack.

"You are the reason I was forced to abandon my planet," he hissed.

"Yes, Master," Makoto replied, falling into the terms of respect she had used in the Silver Millennium.

"And you knew you were Tanzanite the entire time and told me nothing?" Mamoru demanded.

"Yes, Master," Makoto replied. "I apologize for any disrespect you feel I have paid you, but-"

"But nothing!" Mamoru shot back, his eyes flickering gold in his anger. "You do not deserve to hold the title of shitennou or to represent Tanzanite."

Makoto swallowed and firmly put into place the 'big mouth' Tanzanite was known for. "Well a boy who refuses to accept his responsibility and has his girlfriend fight his battles is hardly fit to be called king!" she snapped. She began walking forward, forcing Mamoru to step back. "You, Endymion, are just a scared, pathetic little boy afraid of trusting your own protectors for fear that they will leave you like they left last time! You have no respect because no one has showed it to you, no emotion because you have only recently learned to care! I doubt you even knew Tanzanite existed before this hour."

Mamoru glared at the brunette, knowing her words were true. "Tanzanite, you would be wise to respect me," he gritted out at her.

"I refuse to respect a boy who will not accept his responsibilities," Makoto replied. "When you shape up, I'll follow orders."

Furious, Makoto turned to the other senshi. "And if you had an ounce of dignity, you would accept Chloe as one of your own, a senshi," she ordered. And with that, Makoto stormed out of the shrine.

She had made it about halfway down the steps when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around, prepared to defend herself, only to see Mamoru. "What do you want?" she asked.

"You're right," Mamoru confessed. "I have been too scared to admit who I am for fear of the past. And I didn't know that you were a shitennou or that there was even a fifth, much less that she was female." He paused for a moment, taking everything into consideration. "Well, this explains why you always took my side in Usako's and my arguments."

Makoto chuckled and hugged Mamoru lightly. "Thank you, Endymion," she said, pulling back and bowing to the man. "Your apology means a lot to me."

"I am sorry if you felt neglected by the fact that I haven't acknowledged you as a shitennou," Mamoru continued to apologize. "I'd be proud to have you wear your uniform at the next battle."

"Thank you," Makoto smiled, she and Mamoru walking back into Rei's room for the senshi meeting.


Okay, this is the last chapter aside from a little epilogue, which is completely flashback, looking into Demeter's life. And as for Makoto calling Mamoru 'Master' in this chapter, it's what the shitennou called Mamoru/Endymion in the manga. Therefore, I had her use the same title.
