Sailor Moon: Angels Among Us

Chapter 16: Purpose

Like pieces in a puzzle, everything fits and falls into place where it should. It pains me to know why I am here. Why I fight side-by-side with the Sailor Senshi. I was going to have to tell them the truth. It was another weekend for me. Remy was home alone, and I was at the pool swimming laps to keep in shape. I can always trust Remy to be good.

I took off my swimcap as I reached one mile with a finishing touch on the edge of the pool. There was Haruka waiting for me, and she did not appear to be coming for a swim, "We need to talk," she said as I got out of the pool, I can tell by her eyes that it is something serious, "you're a good friend to me and Michiru, but I must ask why you're here?"

"You really want to hear this?" I asked,

"Tell me," Haruka said with a bit of force,

"By yourselves with all your powers combined, you stand no chance against Legion," I said, "I'm here to give you an extra fighting chance against this evil, if all else fails then it will be me to escort you and your friends back to the Kingdom," Haruka punched at me, but I caught it, and gripped her fist, "that's not helping," I added, throwing the fist aside

I did not want to fight Haruka. Not after what happened last time. I had my sword behind my back. I can tell that Haruka is conflicted. I can see see it in her eyes. It's like her mind is telling her to beat the stuffing out of me because of this matter. Her heart is telling her that she will regret that. I know I have had those times in my life. Everyone has.

"Why didn't you tell us?!" Haruka demanded,

"You didn't ask until now," I replied,

Haruka held her fist, cracking her fingers and giving me a disapproving look, "I know, I know it's my fault for not saying something," I apologized, "but this is your world, this is our world, and even if all the odds are stacked against you and your friends, you stand your ground and you fight," I put on a white t-shirt, and put a hand on Haruka's shoulder.

"I'm still mad at you," Haruka said, I nodded. I maybe an angel, but I am not perfect and I am still as mistake prone as any other person on the planet. Haruka lightly smiled, "but you're going to have to tell everyone what you know," Haruka's right, it started with Michiru then Setsuna, and all the way to the Inner Senshi. They will stand their ground.

I sighed, lightly grinning, "We all make mistakes,"

"I can't stay mad at you forever," said Haruka

"I never thought of you as the type to hold a grudge," I replied, and we shared a hug between each other. I waved her off, and went my own way. I pulled up my tight jeans as I walked toward a Toys 'R' Us. I was a bit of a fan of 'Geoffrey' as a kid, and Hotaru's birthday is coming up. I saw a new 'Geoffrey' plushie. He's got on khakis and a collared shirt.

I smiled seeing Geoffrey's cute plush face as I walked on home. I do have that soft spot for cute things. Maybe that's why Haruka and Michiru will call on me to babysit Hotaru sometimes? Maybe they know? It's a tough thing to forgive another's mistake. Still, a wise man once said: 'the weak can never forgive, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong'.

"She might like this," I said while in line,

The cashier was a part-timer schoolgirl, "Will that be all?"

I nodded with a friendly grin, and paid for the plush doll. With a 'have a nice day' from her, I left the store which I almost got lost in. That's not the first time that has happened to me. I got home, and was greeted by Remy. I can be gone for five minutes. To him, five minutes ils an eternity. I fed him, played fetch with him outside, and gave him the pets

Once Remy calmed down which takes quite a while, I sat down on the couch with my guitar and practiced for the upcoming concert. After a couple hours, I decided to go for an evening flight. Remy is not a fan of it. He would wait at the window, and know that I will always come back. Also, Remy is getting much better at staying home while I am away.

"Mommy will be back, I have to see a friend," I said to Remy,

Remy gave me his kisses, "Yes, yes Remy, I promise, I love you"

I closed the front door, and saw Remy looking out the window. I spread my wings, and fly into the sky. I had wrapped Hotaru's birthday present before leaving. At the top of the Tokyo Tower, I saw Setsuna waiting for me. I greeted her with a hug and a kiss on the lips. I rested my hand on the pommel of my sword, and looked out at the lights of the city.

I hear the sounds, and see the lights of the cars going by. It really is a sight seeing Tokyo at night. The ferris wheel Daikanransha was doing the evening light show. I made a thought to go, and get a bite to eat. Maybe I can take Setsuna along with me. I have a lot of questions on my mind. If this is to be the end of the world. I will still fight to save it

"What will it begin?" asked Setsuna,

"Soon," I replied, darkness is unpredictable,
