Chapter 24 The Darkness Within; Sailor Nemesis

"Soel, Larg…I'm de-transforming again. What is wrong with my necklace?"

The other senshi were with the king while Kamui alone sat with Soel and Larg just outside the king's base.

"Be honest Kamui...did you want to be reawoken as Sailor Moon?"

"No, I never wanted this...and to see all my friends, family involved in it. EVEN MY FUTURE CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED WITH IT! Why can't I just be normal? My name is Kamui Shirou! Not Sailor Moon, not Prince Kamui, not Neo King Kamui, not MOON ANYTHING! JUST KAMUI!"

"Kamui?"

Kamui turned and was looking into black tinted honey eyes. "Hi Fuuma."

"Kamui, why haven't you transformed back into Sailor Moon? We…I need you there."

"A year ago we were normal teenagers Fuuma! We didn't have to save the world."

"A year ago our love was also one sided."

Before Kamui could answer, the whole palace shook. The king's voice echoed through the corridors of the palace. "We're under attack! Everyone to battle stations."

"Soel, Larg…I can't transform still!"

"Kamui, stay here with Sailors Chibi Moon and Chibi Earth. We'll handle whatever this is."

"But…"

"Face it Kamui, if you want to be normal then you have to stay behind. A normal civilian can't fight evil."

Fuuma took off the rest of the Sailor Senshi, Starlights included. The last one to leave was Seishirou.

"He's right shortstuff. Some people are cut out to save the world and others aren't. You have to decide if you're a winner or a quitter. If this is because of that encounter with those two deadbeats the other day, then let it go. Because I saw you stand up to the queen of the dark kingdom ALONE and win. That's it."

When they all went outside, they didn't see a woman like last time but a young man standing there; only problem was he looked like…

"Are you a Sailor Senshi?! Why are you attacking us?"

"Yeah I'm a Sailor Senshi…in a manner of speaking. What's the matter Sailor Neptune, you don't recognize me? Curse Tremor!"

Fai's eyes were widened in surprise and stood there waiting for the attack to come.

"Silence Wall!"

"Oi you idiot, why are you standing there? This is war, let's go. I don't need to owe that pain in the ass any get out of gym free cards."

Shaking his head he turned to the opponent. "Who are you?"

"I am the Senshi of the planet that circles the darkness. I am Sailor Nemesis."
