Usagi: And we're back with record time

Naruto: Let's see how things work out this time

Ami: Hello there

Usagi: Ami-chan

Naruto: Heh?

Ami: Konsu does not own Naruto or the Sailor Moon series

Naruto: Hey

Usagi: Let the chapter begin

"Hey Ami-san."

Wincing at the shout, Ami glares up at the beaming Naruko. For the past few days, Naruko has been following her around, showing up wherever she was. To be honest, it frightens her. She knew it was just a coincidence however. The girl, while sometimes (very) annoying, she was just a normal (strange) delinquent girl, albeit a kind one.

"Uzumaki-san, please keep it down this is a library."

"Huh, oh, my bad."

Yes, Naruko was in the library, and not just any library, the public library where Isis works. The woman in question was snickering in her hand while staring at Naruko. Walking over to the table where the two were seated, Isis greets them with a smile.

"Is everything alright?"

Nodding with a smile, Ami sets down her book and answers.

"Oh yes. I apologize for the disturbance," Ami throws Naruko a glare. "Though I believe it is Uzumaki-san that should be apologizing."

Feeling two pair of eyes on her, Naruko gulps and gives Isis a small wave.

"My bad, I'll keep it down."

Sighing at the half-hearted apology, Ami bows her head to Isis.

"I."

She is cut off by Isis's chuckle.

"No need to apologize, I was just curious about what you two were reading. I'm not mad, okay?"

Nodding, but still a bit skeptical, Ami gives Isis a small smile.

"So," Isis takes a seat next to Naruko. "What are you reading?"

"I'm studying for an exam, and Uzumaki-san is," Ami and Isis turns to Narutko to see her laughing at a manga. "Currently goofing off." Ami ends sighing.

Curisoity satisfied, Isis stands and gives the two students a small wave. Before she could get far however, Ami calls out to her.

"Excuse me, but who are you? You're not the librarian I always see when I come here around this time?"

"Oh yes. I'm the new librarian here, started working here a few months ago. The name is Isis, and I'm the Messenger of Chaos, it's a pleasure to meet you Ami Mizuno the Water Soldier of Good."

A chill runs down Ami's spine at Isis's words. She did not know what she meant by Good, but the terms 'Water Soldier' and 'Messenger of Chaos' sounds loudly in her mind. She did not know where Messenger of Chaos came from, but somewhere deep within her being the term was very familiar. Then there was 'Water Soldier'. There is only one time when Ami heard such a title.

'The Water Soldier…the Soldier of Water, the Soldier of Knowledge, Sailor Mercury.'

Plus, there was one more thing that made Ami feels unease.

'I never gave her my name.'

That was very troubling, but was even more troubling was how Naruko put off the entire situation to read manga.

'She acts just like Usagi-chan.'

Shaking her head, Ami returns to her book, ignoring the quietly laughing Naruko.

Elsewhere Isis was walking up stairs to the second floor. Reaching the second floor, she looks around, searching for someone. Spotting the woman, Isis grins and approaches her, but stops as a wave of killing intent washes over her.

"Is there something you need?"

The woman's brown eyes narrow slightly.

"I thought I felt another Messenger in the area. So you're watching over this one today?"

Isis takes a step forward, and a fierce pressure crushes down on her.

"That's right. It's only for the week though. After that I have to move on to the next one."

The pressure lights up as Isis takes a step back. The blonde woman was truly terrifying without trying, but it was okay, Isis was used to her hostility.

"Still worried about your son?"

"I always will."

"Even though he is not your son."

"He is."

"I'm pretty sure he's Messenger of Death's son."

"She knows he's also my son…why are we even talking about this?" The blonde woman, the Messenger of Life's eyes darken. "What is it that you want?" She was not in the mood for games, something Isis understands and she gets to the point of her.

"I planning on spreading a little chaos in a few hours," Isis's grow dark. "I want to ensure that you don't interfere. It would be catastrophic if two Messengers go at it."

Life's Messenger chuckles in pure amusement.

"Don't worry your pretty little head; I have no interest in interfering in your little games. You do as you must as Chaos's Messenger and I'll do what I must as Life's it's as simple as that," The blonde stands. "Now if you excuse me I must take my leave, I have a meeting with Death's Messenger."

Watching Life's Messenger go, Isis's eyes narrow seeing the woman's right hand had never left the whip attached to her waist. Cracking a shaky smirk, Isis barks out a laugh.

"For a woman who was so nonchalant, she sure was cautious," Isis eyes the two girls reading quietly near the window and she grins widely.

"Now, let's spread a little chaos."

Elsewhere, four interesting people were seated at the Crown. These four were: Seiya, Rei, Usagi, and Sasuke. This was not a meeting that should have not come together, but with the instance of Rei and Seiya, the four were having a study session at the Crown. Seiya and Sasuke were seated together, while Usagi and Rei were seated together, Rei across from Sasuke, and Usagi across from Seiya.

Behind them, spying on the group was Ino, Makoto, and Minako, milkshakes in hand. Near them, going unnoticed to all but Sasuke, Seiya and Usagi was Haruka and Michiru.

"Why is it always the Crown?" grumbles Haruka.

"It's a nice spot Haruka-chan, I don't see the problem." Whispers Michiru.

"They're always here, at least choose a different spot to study."

Rolling her eyes, Michiru focuses on Sasuke.

"That boy, something must be done about him."

Haruka's eyes focuses on Sasuke as well.

"I know that, but we'll have to put him to the back of our minds for now. We have other things to focus on at the moment," Thoughts of Chibiusa joining Sasuke comes to mind. "Well, maybe not, more like we have more to focus on," Haruka eyes Minako's group and then Usagi's. "I don't think we're needed here Michi. Let's get out of here."

Not that Haruka would admit it, but she was very curious about Naruto. The feelings from that night still linger in her. Whenever she thought about it, a pain like no other explodes within her, almost bringing her to tears. Even now the tears gather when Naruto comes to mind. She brings her hand to her face in order to calm herself, but it does very little to calm her.

'I need air.'

Quickly, yet silently leaving the Crown, Haruka enters her car breathing heavily, waiting patiently for Michiru to enter. Once Michiru does, Haruka drives off with no real destination in mind. Giving her love a very worried stare, Michiru places her hand over Haruka's.

"Is it still bothering you?"

"It is," Haruka turns a corner sharply. "I need to speak with that boy. I cannot rest easy until I do."

XxXxXxXxXx

"Why are you still following me?"

"I'm bored."

"Please go and do something fun then Uzumaki-san."

"But following you is fun, very, very fun."

"I'll call the police then."

"Hmm, you can do that, but they'll never catch me."

"Shall we try it then?"

Ami pulls out her phone and stares at the beaming Naruko. The girl was very annoying. Even with the threat of the police the girl was not leaving her alone. The girl really was against the law, so calling the police would not do. She wanted to know why Naruko was pestering her, and she wanted to know now.

"Tell me why you are not leaving me alone?"

Hearing the irritation in Ami's voice, Naruko sighs deeply and rubs the side of her head.

"I guess I've been taking this too far," Giving Ami a gentle smile, Naruko continues. "I don't quite understand why I'm doing this but," In a cloud of smoke, Naruko vanishes and in her place was Naruto causing Ami to gasp. "Hey. I didn't get the chance to say this before, but, let's be friends."

Holding out his hand for Ami to shake, Naruto gives Ami a gentle smile. Before Ami could even react to such an absurd situation, a voice laughs out in not just her mind, but Naruto's mind as well.

"You're the princess from Mercury right? I'm Prince Naruto, it's an honor to meet you."

"No, the honor is all mines Prince Naruto. I am Princess Ami from Mercury."

"Hey, I know this is sudden, but will you do me the honor of being my friend?"

"Haha, it is very sudden, but I do find it strange for you to request friendship with someone you suddenly met."

"Well isn't it polite to always ask people of things you don't have."

"Well…that's true, but I think you have things a bit wrong."

"Hahaha, do I now, well, can you teach me so I can know the proper ways of doing things."

"I would be honored."

A wave of pain hits Naruto and Ami. Stumbling back, the two stare at one another, not sure what to make of what just happened.

"What was that?" questions Naruto.

"I do not know, but," Ami's eyes narrow in thought. "I believe we may have known each other in a past life."

There was no other explanation for it other than this. Things were slowly starting to fall in place when it concerns Naruto. No, not just Naruto, but Ino and Usagi as well. There were still a few missing pieces to the puzzle, but the pieces that were gathered were making things clearer.

'Naruto, he was there during the Silver Millennium.'

Knowing this was the only explanation of what she heard today and the time before in the mall, not to mention the way Usagi and Naruto treats each other, this was the only thing that made sense to Ami.

"A past life?" Naruto laughs a little. "I don't believe in such nonsense. Ninja and demons yeah, and maybe sexy girls in sailor uniforms who fight demons," Ami blushes slightly at this. "But past lives, yeah, that's really pushing my belief in reality."

Not believing her ears, Ami shakes her head.

"So you believe all that, but not in past lives, really now Uzumaki-san. What if I told you time travel is possible?"

"I know time travel is possible," Naruto rolls his eyes. "I did it once, it was by some freak accident, but I did it."

Very curious about this, Ami questions Naruto about it.

"Oh, you want to hear about my great adventure in the past right? Well, it all started with a mission with Sakura-chan, Sai, and Captain Yamamoto. Oh, Sakura-chan is my teammate and friend from my childhood and…"

As the two walk down the street under the glistening moonlight, they did not notice that they had a pursuer.

"Uncle and Ami-san huh?"

Grinning from behind a faceless white mask, Chibiusa continues shadowing the two.

'Looks like things are finally starting.'

Appearing next to her in a blur was another familiar figure. Turning to the figure, Chibiusa gives the figure, Torako a small nod.

"Are you ready Torako?"

Clad in all black, Torako nods wordlessly and pulls the faceless black mask over her face. In the sky, the moon darkens noticeably.

Stopping in the middle of his story, Naruto glares up at the mood. A strange foreboding feeling swells within Naruto. He did not understand why or how he could understand what he was feeling, but the feel of the moon was different. It felt wrong, not very wrong, but wrong. A voice, a faint voice calls out to him from the deepest parts of his soul, answering his unasked question.

"Darken Moon. It is not complete, but someone is tapping into the power of the dark side of the moon. This is not good."

Knowing the voice did not belong to the Nine-Tails, Naruto feels a shiver crawl down his spine and he nearly dives into his mind to find out who the voice belongs to when a voice calls out to him.

"Oh if it isn't Naruko-san and Ami-chan."

Walking down the street with grocery bags in hand was Ikuto Tsukino. The woman was smiling pleasantly at the two. By her side was a small girl eating a large cookie.

"Na-Naruko, no, I'm Naruto," Stutters Naruto. "I'm Naruko's twin brother, the older brother."

Reaching the two, Ikuto peers at Naruto closely, a frown marrying her face. Blinking once and then twice, Ikuto suddenly smiles.

"I see, I apologize for the mistake," Tapping her cheek with her finger, Ikuto gives Naruto and Ami a wide smile. "Seeing you two together like this under this moonlight, hmm, could you possibly be on a date?"

Blushing like crazy, the two, more like Naruto was denying with a passion, while Ami remains silent, staring at the ground as if it was the most curious thing in the world. Giggling at their reaction, Ikuto could not help her next comment.

"You two are so cute together."

Naruto and Ami could do nothing but blush at this. Giggling once more, Ikuto gives the two a helpless smile.

"I'm sorry to ask you this, but can you help me with my groceries?"

"Sure, I see no problem with," Naruto pauses and takes a glance at the moon. "That." The moon was normal once more, in fact, the moon was shining brightly. Not sure what to make of this, Naruto shrugs and takes the bags handed to him. Ami takes one as well, and the two follows the silent woman and quiet girl down the street to their house.

During the walk, Ikuto glances off to the side, to the house across the street. There, across the street, glaring at her with her darkening red eyes was Chibiusa, the white mask attached to the side of her face. Matching Chibiusa's glare, Ikuto hums thoughtfully and glances at the masked Torako questionably for a few moments before focusing ahead.

'Interesting.'

Smiling pleasantly, Ikuto gives the quiet Chibi Chibi a gentle pat on the head.

"It's alright, there's nothing to worry about."

"Worried?" whispers Chibi Chibi.

"I see."

Watching the strange exchange between Chibi Chibi and Ikuto, Naruto and Ami share a glance, not sure what to make of it. The sound of a car quickly approaching causes the group to jump and they watch a car speed down the road, heading right for them. The car slows slightly and then skids to a complete stop, parking at the side of the road right next to them. In the car was Haruka and Michiru, the latter looking pleasant like usual, despite her hair being all frizzled. The former however looks as if she's been through hell and back. It was not her clothes or hair that made her look like this, it was her eyes, and when she glares at Naruto, her eyes grow worst.

"You, I finally found you."

Stepping out of the car, Haruka walks pass Ikuto and Ami without a word, heading straight for Naruto.

"Tell me, who are you? Why is your voice hunting me?"

Grabbing the stun Naruto by the collar of his shirt, Haruka drags him to a wall and slams him against it, distress and fear crossing her face.

"Tell me damn it!"
