Author's Notes

Okay, first responses to my reviewers and then I will give disclaimer and any notes for my readers.

Sernity1806: I am very pleased that you enjoyed chapter 6 & 7. I had a lot of fun writing this series and am contemplating whether or not to continue with a prequel or sequel, but it is still a ways off before I make the final decision.

Chichiforever: I thought that that chapter was super sweet too. I loved how the song just inspired me to write it, literally I could see Mamoru and Usagi the whole time while I was writing it.

Celeste-Love: Okay, for chapter 7 response, I am happy that it was sappy, I wanted something really sweet for their first kiss and I think Paramore's song was perfect. I also think that they totally rock! Chapter 8 response, No they didn't confront Mamoru, Kunzite is pulling them away, I really wanted to get a chapter in with just the generals, and that seemed perfect to do it then, the story will really be explained in this chapter for the generals. I am glad you enjoy the flashbacks, I can really see them happening and it totally makes sense for me with the flashbacks. Wait, until you see Jadeite's flashback to when Jadeite kills Mars. It's definitely worth the wait.

SerenityMoonGoddess: Thank you for your review, I love it when people review even with great chapter, it lets me know that the story is actually interesting to others besides myself.

Ldsprincess: Thank you for the review and for reading, it's nice to see some more new people.

Kiki56: Thank you so much! I really thank you for saying that my story is insanely good. It makes me want to write even fast, although it can be really hard at times to write especially on my days off when my 2 year old son is home with me, but I do try to write before and after work on most days.

Airgirl: Thank you for your review. I am glad that you like the story and welcome.

Tenshi-Chikyuu: I am sorry you felt the last chapters was "creepers" that wasn't my intention when I wrote the chapter, it was more of an entrance for the generals to start regaining their full memories instead of just memories of the Earth and Endymion. Hopefully this chapter will explain the generals a little bit more to you. Welcome to my story.

Okay, now for disclaimers. All characters of Sailor Moon do not belong to me, sigh, but they belong to Ms. Naoko, who made a wonderful series because the first season was so successful. Did you know that that was all she had originally? Just the first season, and with such a demand for more, she created more to applease the fans, now that is a true writer! The characters are just along for the ride in my mind.

My notes, well, first of all, for the first time I had over 500 people read my story in one day, which is totally awesome. I am hoping eventually I will have over 1000 people read my story in a day.

Secondly, this is really a long chapter, just from my outline, it looks like it might be a 8 page or more chapter, so be ready for a long chapter. I'm breaking my own promise to not write so much because I've got so much for this chapter.

Lastly, after Makoto is revealed to Usagi, which is not this chapter, the battles will not really be detailed, they will be talked about, but mainly I want to focus the story on Usagi and Mamoru and their memories being regained.

On to the story! ~

Chapter Nine: Who Knew?

*Previously*

The sound roused Mamoru from a deep sleep, a sleep that had been making his night seem wonderful, he had finally seen the woman's face that had called out to him for so long. Looking over at the men in his room, he jumped from the bed, a defensive move of his arms came up.

"Calm down, Endymion. It is just us." Jadeite stated, reaching to touch Mamoru.

"Don't." Kunzite and Mamoru said at the same time.

"He doesn't remember." Kunzite said, "But I do. We must leave. We are sorry, Majesty, Mamoru, and hope that this will not be a negative impact when we meet again."

Nephrite jumped at the command in Kunzite's voice,the rock, his namesame, that he had been rubbing and moving around in his hand, dropped to the ground. The four men moved quickly out of the bedroom, and out the balcony window, before Mamoru could even get to the balcony window the men were out of sight.

Jadeite reached for Kunzite once they were out of sight of the apartment.

"Don't touch me, not yet, Jadeite wait until we reach our place." Kunzite stated, moving out of the way, not wanting any memories to be transferred without somewhere safe for them to be bombarded with pain and hurt, like he was dealing with now.

Jadeite stared at his commander, the pain in his eyes making Jadeite question the words that Kunzite had spoken, but he would forever followed orders and dropped his hand.

Zoisite and Nephrite stared at the exchange and moved onward, eager now to get to the townhome so that they could see what was really going on.

"So he really doesn't remember anything?" Zoisite asked.

"No, he won't have gone into a defensive pose, especially if he remember who we are. We are the ones that are suppose to protect him, remember?" Jadeite said sadistically at the end, angry at how things turned out.

"Quiet, men, we're are almost there." The men slowed down as they near the building they called HQ for now. Entering the front door, the four men walked into the front room.

"Now, tell us what is going on Kunzite!" Jadeite demanded as he touched his commander's shoulder, trying to turn him around.

*Flashback*

Jadeite walked away from HQ, telling the others he had business to attend to first. Heading to the rooms where Kasei stayed, his eyes became cold and determined. Instead of celebrating a union tomorrow, they will be grieving. He thought to himself as he reached the balcony.

Kasei laid on her bed, a white nightgown made her glow with beauty, but nothing would draw him from his mission now. He pulled his sword out, holding behind his back as he entered the room. "Jadeite, I was wondering if you would be coming in to see me before tomorrow." Kasei said shyly, moving up from where she was laying.

"Of course, I would be coming in." Jadeite replied as he moved his arms from behind his back, the silver of his blade glowing with the light from Earth. "I am coming in to kill the liar that I trusted."

"Wha---" Kasei started to say before the blade came at her. Jadeite cut at every part of her body that he could reach, the nightgown becoming redder by the minute. He heard a noise coming down the hallway, quickly he cleaned the blade on her nightgown, the moment he touched her skin images came to him.

Not wanting to get caught he went out the window to find out the images where promises Kasei made to the Queen to protect Endymion. The tears poured down his eyes before he took the blade of his sword and crushed it through his body.

*End of Flashback*Jadeite backed away from Kunzite quickly, wishing he could erase what he just saw. He knew who the raven-haired girl was, as well as the bluenette. He had been near Mars, near Kasei, and she didn't kill him! He deserved worse than death and still she had not harmed him.

Nephrite and Zoisite looked at their comrades, the concern showing in their eyes. Jadeite had turned deathly pale after touching Kunzite.

"What just happened, Kunzite?" Zoisite asked, noticing their auras had changed slightly, as though trying to attune to another's but not to each other. Thank god! He thought. At least they aren't soul mates, that would be awkward.

"If it was anything like what I seen, he just saw how he killed his soul mate." Kunzite said dryly as he sat down on the chair.

"Do I even what to know about mine than?" Nephrite asked, not wanting to have any terrible images.

"The memories aren't all bad, just looking at how we ended things makes it seem even more terrible than what it really is." Jadeite replied after a while. "I killed her on the eve of our wedding."

Zoisite and Nephrite looked stunned. Kunzite nodded his head, thinking again of Beauty and how he failed her.

Nephrite came up to Kunzite next, "Will it hurt?" He asked. "Only if you think of her pain instead of what you are thinking when it's happening." Kunzite replied. He reached out to Nephrite and touched his hand.

*Flashback*

Nephrite stares at the woman before him. Jupiter sends lightening bolt after bolt at the men in front of her, trying to knock every one of them down, so that her hime is safe. Nephrite stands in front of her. She sighs a sound of relief that he is still there for her. She reaches out to him, he takes her into his arms. She kisses his lips thankful that he is still there for her, for his prince and her princess.

"Where have you been? Are you okay?" She asks him as she holds him close for a few moments.

"Busy, I'm perfectly fine. I'm sorry, Mokusei. I'm sorry that I fell in love with you." He states before he takes the dagger out of his sleeve and stabs her through her back directly into her heart. The moment the dagger enters her body he sees everything that she has ever seen, her childhood, being with Serenity, and the promise she made to protect his prince from the dangers that were coming. Tears poured down his face, he cries out as she does, as he pushes the dagger harder, into his body. Connecting their bodies together for all eternity.

*End of Flashback*

Zoisite watches as emotions play across the face of Nephrite. From joy, to anger, to surprise, to despair. He reaches for his friend, Kunzite's hand still upon Nephrite when Zoisite touches him.

*Flashback*

Zoisite kills thousands upon thousands of the Moon soldiers as they rush at him, his only thought of getting to his Prince and ensuring his safety. Mercury stands in front of him, the surprise on her face.

"You and the others have been doing this?" She asked, the hurt in her voice.

"Yes, starting with your precious second-in-command." He states viciously as he raises the bloody sword above his head. He brings down the sword before she can even make a sound, his hand connecting with her face as the blade slices through her body. Her life flashes in his eyes, everything that every mattered to her. Her princess, and then him were the most important.

"I'm sorry, Suisei." He whispers as the last of the images come to him. Of Mercury standing before his prince and pledging loyalty to him as his second guards. Her body drops to the ground, the pieces falling apart as they land. Moon soldiers rush at him, he drops his sword as their swords come at him.

*End of Flashback*

"Oh, god!" He cries as he lands away from his friends.

*Meanwhile*

A confused Mamoru stares out the balcony window, the dream still fresh in his mind. Who were they? Why did they call me Majesty, and why did they look so familiar? He thought as he headed back to his room, as he was walking into his room, he notices a rock laying on the carpet.

That wasn't there before. He bent to pick up the rock, as his hand touched the rock, he remembered everything about his first birth as Prince of Earth and everything from this time on Earth. But there was still gaps, he could feel them in his memories. They are my generals. They were here looking for me. But why didn't I remember before? Oh, god.

He thought as the memories of the night his parents died came back to him.

*Flashback*

He was sitting in the back seat of the car, his father and mother were in the front, talking about how proud they were of his grades. He beamed, knowing that the parent-teacher conference had gone well.

His father turned back to look at Mamoru. The smile playing upon his lips. "I'm proud of you, so--"

A horn sounded as his father turned around quickly. A truck was on the other side of the road coming at their car. His father severed to the side, not seeing the poles saying there was no side.

The car began to tumble down to cliffside, his father's and mother's screams rang throughout the darkness.

A force pushed him out of his window, his seat belt disappeared as he landed outside of the wreckage.

He looked at the car from the spot he had landed, seeing his father's face plastered to the window before he passed out.

*End of Flashback*

Tears poured down his face, remembering everything. How they were reborn, destined to rule the planet, and now he was alone, destined to rule a planet by himself. I got to find them tomorrow. But there is something missing, that dream, it seemed so familiar and in the same time era. She looked like Usako. He thought as he wiped his eyes, laying down on his bed. I got to try and get some sleep, I promised her that I would pick her up for school this morning.

*Morning*

Mamoru took his coffee cup out to his car, the memories he received last night still dancing around in his head. The nephrite stone was in his pocket, staying there until later. He was determined to find the four generals today. He got into his car and started driving back the way he had come from last night. Arriving in front of the Tsukino household, he straighten his back, and put on his most charming smile.

*Usagi's Room*

Usagi rushed around her room, trying to get all of her school supplies together. She put on her uniform quickly, barely looking in the mirror before she bounced down the steps to the kitchen. Ikuko was cooking pancakes, Shinjo and Kenji were at the table, when Usagi bounced in.

"Usagi! What did you do to your hair?" Ikuko yelled.

Usagi looked at her, the surprise on her face. Touching her hair, she said with worry in her voice, "What's wrong with my hair, Mama?"

Shinjo laughed. "You've got silver in your hair now! You're getting old!" He laughed and laughed as he pointed at his sister's hair, doubling over before his father slapped him across the head with the newspaper.

Kenji stared at his daughter. "Are you doing this to impress some boy?" He asked, sternly.

Usagi ran to the nearest mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, she could see the silver streaks that now ran through her hair. Oh no! What happened? All I did last night was have that dream... She thought to herself, overly worried about the change in her hair. Ikuko could see the worry in her daughter's face.

"Oh, Usagi, it is probably nothing. Do you want me to get some dye to change it back?" She asked, wanting her daughter happy.

Usagi was about to reply when the door bell rang.

"Coming!" She called. As she opened the door, she could see the green jacket that her 'boyfriend' was prone to wear. Oh my goddess, I just called him my boyfriend, just yesterday I was calling him that baka. This is going to get some getting use to. She thought to herself as she opened the door wider.

"Come in, Mamo-chan! You must meet my family." She said. "Of course, Usako, whatever my bunny wants." He replied somewhat stiffly.

"What's wrong, Mamo-chan?" She asked noticing the stiff way he held himself. Noticing that Usagi was beginning to looked concerned for him, Mamoru realized that the memories were making him stiff and angry looking. Shaking himself, Mamoru leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Sorry, Usako. I had a very hard night last night." He said as he straightened up.

Ikuko, Kenji, and Shinjo walked into the hallway to see this exchange. Ikuko smiled, the boy was a perfect gentleman to her daughter. Kenji was seeing red at the boy kissing his daughter, even if it was just her forehead. Shinjo recognized Mamoru from the arcade and laughed. Ikuko and Kenji turned to their son as he started laughing, as well as Usagi and Mamoru.

"What's so funny?" They all asked him.

"Nothing, except that's the boy who always calls Usagi Odango Atama!" Shinjo said in between bouts of laughter.

Usagi turned a bright red, muttering a quick introduction to Mamoru and her parents, she rushed him out the door. "I'll be home after school, bye now!" She called as she ran out the door.

As they got into the car, Usagi's hair caught sunlight. Mamoru could see the silver highlights in her hair. But that's the color of the woman from my dreams hair. He thought as he sat down in the driver's seat.

"So, umm... What happened last night?" Usagi asked.

"I had a strange dream than, well, I don't want to talk about the rest of it, if you don't mind, Usako." Mamoru replied.

"Oh, sure. Do you want to talk about your dream... I had a strange one too." Usagi volunteered.

"Sure, there was this girl with the most beautiful silver hair..."

"...in a rose garden that had no colors but white." Usagi finished.

"Yes, how did you..." Mamoru looked at her, surprised etched into his face.

"I had the same dream... They kissed, didn't they? Like we did yesterday." She said shyly.

"Yeah, they did." He replied.

Usagi smiled widely. That's so awesome that we had the same dream. I wonder what that means?

The rest of the drive to her school was a comfortable silence, classical music drifted through the car, softly and peacefully making the ride even more enjoyable. As he pulled up outside of her school, he got out of the driver's seat and walked over to Usagi's door. Opening the door for her, she stepped out of the car and landed right in his chest.

"I like the new highlights." He said, as he caught her.

"It seems we will always be bumping into each other." She said jokingly. As the car door floated shut behind them.

"Yes, well, I wouldn't want it to be no one but you." Mamoru said seriously as he looked down into her eyes. "Why did you change your hair though?" He asked.

"I didn't. That's the way my hair was this morning." She said whisperingly. As she looked into his eyes, his head coming down closer to her. "Oh," he said, before he kissed her.

Their mouths meet softly, as the kiss began. Her arms coming around and wrapping around his shoulder, his arms dropping to her waist. The kiss began so innocently, but soon became more passionate as he sought entrance to her mouth.

Blushing, Usagi pulled away, afraid that she wouldn't be able to walk away if the kiss became any hotter. A flash of something came across their minds that made the kiss seem much older and familiar than just a few moments ago.

*Flashback*

Serenity caught up to Endymion as he headed for the portal to Earth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him the sweetest kiss she had ever had.

His hands wrapped around her waist as he sought entrance to her mouth, forgetting about the time portal, that he would have to wait for another one to get home, as he made the kiss more and more passionate as her love guardian watched the doorway, trying to ignore the couple and the man that held her mind as well.

*End of Flashback*

Noticing her blush, Mamoru smiled. "Sorry, you seem to make me forget everything but you."

"Yeah, well, I wish I could make someone forget everything like that." A feminine voice said from the side. Usagi looked around to see a brunette standing about 15 feet away. A smile playing upon her lips. "Sorry, you two just reminded me of a couple I use to know who would sneak away for kisses like that." The brunette said.

Mamoru and Usagi blushed, thinking about the image that had crossed their minds.

Mamoru pulled away from Usagi as his watch started beeping. "I'm sorry, Usako, I've got to go or I'll be late to class." He said apologetically.

Usagi nodded her head, smiling, "Of course, Mamo-chan. Will I see you after school?" She asked, as she walked with him around the car to his side.

"Yes." He said with a quick kiss before he jumped in the car and raced off towards S University.

The brunette came up to Usagi, "You got yourself a very handsome man." She said, as she extended her hand. "Konnichiwa, Makoto is my name."

"Konnichiwa, my name is Tsukino, Usagi. You don't have a last name." Usagi stated in surprised.

"No, I am an orphan, so I just go by Makoto." The brunette said. She watched as Usagi's hair got a little more silver in it by the minute.

"Oh, are you enrolling here?" Usagi asked, wanting to help out Makoto.

"Yes, but I don't know where the office is." Makoto replied.

"Oh, that's easy. Follow me!" Usagi offered as she headed for the school building.

Makoto followed her at a even five paces behind, watching everyone and everything around her, as though making sure that no one would try to get near the blonde girl while she was around.

Ta Da! My first extremely long chapter that I promised myself that I would never put my reader through, but I couldn't help it. I was just so die hard to get this out there. So I hope that everyone enjoys this chapter and I will start working on the next one as soon as I can.
