A Ninja Does Not Shed Tears
The next day Rani was with Philip in his car as they were driving to
town. He noticed she as quiet.
"You okay sweetie?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm worried about Haruka."
"Why?"
"Silver Jade almost killed her."
"The White Ninja almost killed Mamoru."
"I know Haruka must be a little freaked out about this. She was so
close to death."
"She'll be fine she's a tough fighter. How did you know Haruka was
Sailor Uranus?"
"She took a long time at that one lunch she and I had and she knew
Sailor Moon..."
"Yeah I would suspect the same thing." Philip interrupted
"So we knew the rest of the Sailor Senshi then?"
"That's right."
"Haruka will be fine. Her last encounter with Silver Jade was okay. I
mean she wasn't spooked out of her mind."
"It seems that way but deep inside I think that incident with Silver
Jade still bothers her."
"She's a beautiful fighter."
"Uranus or Silver Jade?" She smirked looking at him.
"Silver Jade of course." He smiled.
"If you say so. You'd be looking wouldn't you?" Rani joked.
"Hey it's an observation." He laughed.
"You are terrible." She laughed.
They arrived in town and went to the Yaohan supermarket. They walked
in, each, doing their own shopping but together.
They bumped into her brother.
"Doing a little shopping?"
"Yup, stock up on junk food." He smiled.
"Justin," Rani said a little concerned.
"It's okay hey you shouldn't talk you're just as bad."
"Alright, maybe I shouldn't talk."
"Rani " a female voice said. Rani turned her head and saw Iria approach
them.
"Ohayo." Justin and Iria smiled back.
"This is weird we're all shopping at the same time." Philip said and
they all chatted a little about their groceries. (Nothing interesting)
"Well see ya" Rani said and Philip went with her.
"Ja ne!" Iria and Justin said.
Rani went down the candy aisle and starting looking through it.
"You're just as bad as your brother." Philip joked.
"I hate you" she said kissing him.
" I knew you couldn't hate me for long." He joked and hugged her.
Rani pushed him and he laughed.
"And you two say you're not married." Usagi said laughing.
Philip and Rani looked at her.
"We're not" Philip said "we're too young."
"You two are not too young." Usagi said. "Mamo-chan and I planned to
get married."
"That's because you two are destined to be together." Rani said.
"You know I'm the Moon Princess?"
"Ahem. "Philip cleared his throat. And Rani looked at him. She said a
little too much.
"Well it's obvious" Rani covered herself." You two really love each
other? Moon Princess what? One of your childhood memories?"
"Oh anyways. Rani-san I'm hungry let's go." Usagi said taking her arm.
"Go where?" Rani asked.
"Out to lunch."
"Philip-san?" a girl's voice said. Philip turned and saw Hotaru.
"Ohayo Hotaru-chan" Philip smiled looking at her. Hotaru blushed.
"Philip-san, Haruka and Michiru are doing something with Setsuna
tonight. I don't want to go but can I..." Hotaru asked embarrassed.
"You want to do something with Rani and me? Philip finished for her
then Hotaru smiled.
"Okay sweetie, when?"
"OOO I wonder what Haruka Michiru and Setsuna are going?" Usagi
squealed.
"They're going to watch a movie Usagi-chan." Hotaru said to her then
turned to Philip. "Tonight? It is okay?"
"Hey sweetie, I don't think we're going anything tonight right?" Philip
asked Rani.
"No, sure you can spend the evening with us.I'm afraid you might get
bored though Hotaru-chan." Rani smiled.
"I've seen the movie a billion times already. Arigato" she hugged Rani
and Philip
"Usagi-chan..." Rani said as Usagi looked at her watch.
"YAHH! I'm late for a meeting!" Usagi screamed. "Ja ne, Philip-san,
Rani-san, and Hotaru-chan" Usagi ran out the door.
"Aren't you going?" Rani asked Hotaru.
"No they're still trying to figure out who the four ninjas are." Hotaru
smiled.
"Good luck!" Philip smiled.
Later that night Hotaru, Philip, and Rani walked in the park.
"Arigato" Hotaru said.
"Why?" Philip asked
"For spending time with me."
"No problem sweetie." Philip smiled as he bent down and hugged her.
"You guys look like a family." Usagi yelled then Philip stood up as
they all looked at Usagi. Right beside her stood Mamoru.
"Midnight stroll?" Rani asked.
"Yeah." Mamoru said.
Suddenly a cloaked spirit quickly grabbed Mamoru and flew him
into the air.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi cried.
"Usagi-chan henshin..."Hotaru said
Usagi nodded."
"Moon Eternal Make-up!" Usagi yelled.
They transformed into Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn.
When they were done Black Jade and the White Ninja stood before them.
Mamoru tried to fight the cloaked spirit but felt himself getting weak.
The spirit had already started draining the life from him.
"Mamo-chan" Sailor Moon cried.
Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna walked out of the movie theater.
They saw the Shawshank Redemption.
"Man that was an awesome movie."Haruka said.
"Mamo-chan!" they heard Sailor Moon cry." Black Jade save him."
"Oh geez, how many times does that damn boy get kidnapped?" Haruka
rolled her eyes.
"Too many." Setsuna and Michiru said together.
"Uranus Crystal Power Make-up!" Haruka yelled.
"Neptune Crystal Power Make-up!" Michiru yelled.
"Pluto Crystal Power Make-up!" Setsuna yelled.
When they were done they looked at each other.
"Let's go!" Uranus said then ran to meet with Saturn and Sailor Moon.
Black Jade looked up at the cloaked spirit and jumped up to him. The
spirit opened his cloak and sent a wind blast at her. She blocked it
but it sent her backwards. She fell to the ground and landed on her
feet.
"World..." Uranus raised her arm.
The White Ninja hit Uranus' hand with his staff as she held it.
"What?" Uranus looked at him surprised.
"You'll hit Mamoru." He said.
The spirit held Mamoru as his life was sucked dry.
"No!" Sailor Moon cried.
The spirit waited for a change to occur but nothing happened. He gave
back Mamoru's life and threw him down falling to the ground unconscious.
After that he sent more spirits to the Senshi and the ninjas. All of
them were too busy fighting the spirits to save Mamoru from falling to
his death. Red Sun appeared.
"Red Sun" the White Ninja yelled while fighting a spirit. " Save
Mamoru."
Red Sun rushed to Mamoru trying to catch him. Before he got to him
several spirits appeared in front of him. Sailor Moon ran toward the
falling Mamoru but a cloaked spirit stopped her.
"Mamo-chan! I ..." she yelled.
Mamoru was about 100 feet from the ground.
Suddenly there was a blast of light blinding everyone.
When it faded out the spirits were gone. All they heard was the cry of
a falcon. The huge falcon caught Mamoru and flew him to safety.
"Where did that?...Sailor Moon follow it." Setsuna said.
Sailor Moon nodded and followed the falcon. Three ninjas appeared in
front of them. One was Silver Jade. There were two new ones, a male
and a female.
The male ninja had light brown hair and wore gray, he
controlled sound, created illusions and he was blind. His eyes were
always closed and in his hand he held a three-section staff.
The female ninja was in deep red. She had two ancient Chinese
butterfly knives. She had reddish black hair and brown eyes.
"Are you...?" Michiru asked.
"Meet Crimson Jade and Gray Spirit." Silver Jade said.
The falcon returned to Gray spirit. It was a pretty big bird.
Gray spirit reduced him back to his normal size which was a little
smaller than a parrot.
"Arigato, my friend." Gray Spirit said to the bird.
Uranus looked at Gray Spirit and waved her hand in front of his face.
"Are you blind?" she asked
Gray Spirit nodded. As the falcon let out a scream. The Outer Senshi
looked at the beautiful bird in amazement. It was brown with silver
and white feathers inter-mixed in his tail.
"Kyoshi." The White Ninja called to the falcon. The bird flew to the
White Ninja. Saturn stared at it. The falcon trusted each ninja
completely and it was a very smart obedient bird.
"Kyoshi, give something to Sailor Saturn." The White Ninja said.
Kyoshi flew over Sailor Saturn and extended his wings letting out a cry.
It dropped a silver feather into her hands.
"Arigato." Saturn said.
Silver Jade approached Uranus.
"You're not afraid of me?" Silver Jade asked
"No, there's a lot I need to learn." Uranus said
"Gomen Nasai about..."
" Silver Jade, I see there is peace in your eyes can you see the same
in mine?"
Silver Jade looked in Uranus' eyes
"Hai" Silver Jade said" we are allies."
"No, we are friends." Uranus said extending her hand and they shook
hands.
"You've gained our trust the silver feather symbolizes it." Silver
Jade said taking her hand away.
"Who are you?" Setsuna asked.
"We already told you." Black Jade said.
"No, who you really are...underneath that mask." Neptune said
"The time is not right yet.' Gray Spirit said. "Be patient Sailor
Senshi, we will tell you when the time is right."
"Fare well Sailor Senshi," Crimson Jade said as all the ninjas vanished
through their dark pools.
The next day Philip said he wanted to talk to Hotaru. Philip
and Hotaru were at Rei's temple. She wasn't home because she was at
school. Philip sat on the steps as Hotaru sat near him.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Hotaru asked.
"I'll let you in on a secret." He smiled.
"Okay." Hotaru smiled.
Philip cupped his hand over his mouth. He looked as though he was
whistling but Hotaru didn't hear any sound. She looked puzzled as she
watched his lips move slightly.
"What did you do?" She asked.
"You'll see." He said
They heard the cry of a falcon and to Hotaru's amazement it flew
toward them. Her eyes were transfixed on the falcon. When it reached
it's destination which was Philip's arm. There in Philip's place stood
the White Ninja as Hotaru gasped.
"Don't be afraid" he said gently and took off his mask.
Hotaru looked at Philip's face and hugged him.
"Is that what you meant by when the time is right."
"We had to trust you first. I do, and so does Rani."
"Rani?"
"Ohayo Hotaru-chan" a female voice called from behind her. There stood
Silver Jade as she lowered her mask.
"Rani" Hotaru smiled. "Does Haruka know?"
"I haven't told her yet." Rani said quietly.
"Why not?"
"I almost killed her I didn't mean it. I don't think she can forgive
me."
"Did you know who she was?" Hotaru asked.
"Not until Michiru cried her name. I put it all together. Haruka took a
long time at the lunch, she held her arm after she and I fought, and
she knew Sailor Moon. All the Outer Senshi cried as Haruka lie on the
ground as Sailor Uranus.
"She forgave you."
"She still doesn't know who I am."
"It's a misunderstanding she will understand." Hotaru said "tell her
please you trust her right?"
Silver Jade nodded.
"Tell her Rani." White Ninja said.
"Alright, I'll tell her." Silver Jade said. "Did Mamoru get home okay?"
"Kyoshi flew him home then Sailor Moon stayed with him." The White
Ninja said.
"He's a smart bird." Hotaru said and the White Ninja smiled.
"Kyoshi" Silver Jade said "Find Haruka and bring her here."
Kyoshi let out a cry and flew from the temple into the sky.
The falcon flew around and found Haruka fixing her car. He
flew down as Haruka looked at it.
"You're the same bird from last night." She said to it.
The falcon just flew around and kept letting out a cry. Haruka walked
toward it as it started flying away. Haruka walked toward as it
started flying away.
Haruka kept walking toward it as it flew farther from her. Kyoshi flew
toward Rei's temple finally Haruka went there too.
Meanwhile Michiru went to the Asian art museum with Makoto.Mako
didn't feel too comfortable going but Haruka had to fix her car so
Mako kept Michiru company. The museum had a theater for guest speakers
and performances.
Iria Suzaku was walking around her museum with her assistant Peter
Sazakawa. They both wore business suits. Peter was 21, short brown hair.
He looked very quiet but he was very wise.
"Peter, that has to move." Iria said pointing to a sculpture.
"I agree it looks bad there." Peter said.
"Oh my gosh that's Iria Suzaku, the art director." Michiru smiled.
"Of what?" Mako asked.
"This museum." Michiru said "She replaced the old director. He had the
tackiest taste in art."
"I see no difference." Mako said.
"Mako, quit playing." Michiru said laughing.
"Michiru Kaioh?" Iria asked and that made Michiru jump.
"UHH" Michiru said speechless and overwhelmed looked at Iria.
"I read about you...would you like to play your violin in the theater
every week?" Iria smiled.
"Uhh. Michiru was still speechless then Mako nudges her.
"Sure, arigato oh arigato Iria." Michiru finally said.
"Come tomorrow at this time which is 11 o'clock. Here's my card." Iria
said and Peter handed her Iria's business card.
"Peter you can say something." Iria smiled.
"Nice to meet you" he said smiling "what type of music do you play?"
"Classical." Michiru said.
"Do you play too?" Peter smiled at Mako.
"Gomen, I cook though." She said.
"Gourmet?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, gotta see that someday." He smiled.
"Sure."
"Peter" Iria called and started to leave.
"Nice meeting you bye." Peter said and followed Iria.
"Macking on the director's assistant huh?" Michiru said smiling.
"He's too old for me." Mako said. "He's probably married."
"You don't know how old he is."
"Still..."
"Alright c'mon I gotta go practice." Michiru said as they walked out of
the museum.
Haruka arrived at the temple as Kyoshi rested on a tree. Hotaru was
there smiling.
"Haruka I'm so happy you're here." Hotaru said
"Hotaru, what' going on?" Haruka said suspiciously.
"Silver Jade has something to tell you."
"Haruka Tenoh?" Silver Jade said
Haruka turned around as Silver Jade and the White Ninja stood before
her.
"Silver Jade, you have something for me?"
"I think it's about time we introduced ourselves." The White Ninja said.
Both ninjas raised their hands to their masks.
After school Rei and Ami were in the Morisato bookstore. Of course Rei
was bored out of her mind.
"Are you finished yet Ami-chan?" Rei asked impatiently.
"No I need to get the perfect..."
"Ami-chan, look a cute guy."
Ami looked up in the direction the guy was standing in then went back
to her books.
"He has a girlfriend Rei-chan."
Rei looked at the girl then her smile dropped
"Nah." Rei said then saw them looking at her. Rei turned around
quickly pretending to look at books with Ami. She snuck a little peak
to see them but they weren't there. Rei let out a sigh as Ami was
oblivious to the whole thing.
"Ami-chan. Rei-chan." a male voice said behind them.
Rei and Ami turn around as Rei jumped. It was the same guy and girl she
was looking at a few minutes ago.
"Ohayo I'm Rani's older brother." Justin smiled. "She told me about
you."
Ami laughed at Rei. Rei felt a little embarrassed she was checking out
Rani's brother.
"This is Elaine Kasumi." He said introducing the girl he was with.
Elaine, 21, smiled and shook their hands.
"Nice to meet you." She said.
"Nice to meet you too." They smiled.
Justin and Elaine sensed something wrong.
"I sense something wrong at home." Rei said
Rei and Ami ran out of the store as Elaine and Justin followed them.
"Mars Crystal Power Make-up!" Rei yelled
"Mercury crystal Power Make-up!" Ami yelled.
Soon after their transformation they saw four ninjas run pass them,
jump into the air, and disappear.
"Hey isn't that?..." Mars said "Wait who are they?"
Let's think about that later right now they're something we have to
take care of first." Mercury said while running then Mars followed
behind.
At the temple, Sen stood before the two ninjas. He outstretched his
arms and more cloaked spirits appeared. Ten of the spirits stood out
differently compared the 20 others. The ten stood on the ground and
took of their cloaks. Ten warriors stood before them: five men and
five women.
Haruka looked at them as Hotaru stood behind her.
"Silver Jade..."Haruka said and didn't see her there or anywhere.
"Hotaru Henshin" then Hotaru nodded. "Uranus Crystal Power Make-up!"
After that was over with Uranus and Saturn stood before the ten
warriors.
"Uranus, Saturn," the rest of the Senshi arrived and stood with them.
"We're out-numbered." Sailor Moon said then she felt a hand on her
shoulder. Tuxedo Kaman stood next to her as she smiled at him.
The Senshi looked at each other then at the warriors in front of them.
Each Senshi stood in front of each warrior.
"The famous Sailor Senshi." one of the males said. "Weak pathetic fools."
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked.
"The ten protectors of Lady Hoshiro." One of the females said.
Each protector outstretched their arms combining one powerful strong
attack. It was silent yet very powerful attack and it also had no name.
The sky became dark as black energy ribbons flowed around the Senshi
tearing their outfits and cutting their skin. The Senshi fell to the
floor as the protectors raised their arms to the sky which meant to
initiate the attack. The attack hit the Senshi backwards flying them
out of sight. You could hear the Senshi (and Tuxedo Kamen) screaming a
few blocks away then it faded.
"Hah they didn't stand a chance." One the males said. Then all the
protectors from the triumphant finishing of the Sailor Senshi.
Suddenly in the same direction where the Senshi were flown to
there were a series of surprise attack. First the protectors heard a
high pitch tone which almost drove their minds insane. Second they were
blinded by bright light followed by a harsh wind which made them almost
impossible to hold their footing to the ground. Then the entire temple
became dark so they couldn't see. Vines came from the ground and held
their feet as the darkness lifted. They tried to cut themselves free but
not in time. Suddenly every protector was slammed against the wall by
columns of water, earth, wind, a fire volcano, and green energy.
The protectors fell to the ground and got up slowly.
"What the heck was that?" they all said.
From the distance they saw ten figures appear from where the Senshi
were flown. Each ninjas carried an unconscious Senshi (including Tuxedo
Kamen) in their arms. The ninjas put the Senshi gently on the ground
and approached the protectors.
Sailor Saturn opened her eyes and looked at the two opposing
teams. Hoshiro appeared as an image before them all. Sen and the
protectors bowed to her.
"Sen, now get me the male of the purest heart." Hoshiro said and
disappeared. All the Senshi opened their eyes and sat up holding their
heads.
Sen flew into the sky upward then downward and absorbed into
the ground. Then he appeared again snatching the White Ninja as he
flew upward.
"Philip!" Saturn cried.
The Senshi looked at Saturn in confusion. Silver Jade and the other
ninjas tried to fight Sen. The protectors quickly stopped the ninjas
before they got to Sen. One of the protectors flew up to Sen and made
sure the life draining process of the White ninja was finished and
took care of any intruders. The Senshi watched as each ninja had
their hands full fighting each protector.
"Senshi..." Black Jade said dodging a blow from one of the female
protectors. "Stop Sen..." Black Jade threw a punch as her opponent
dodged it. "He'll drain the White Ninja's life completely." She
finished and kick her opponent straight to the head.
"World Shaking!" Uranus said
"Dead Scream" Pluto whispered.
"Deep Submerge!" Neptune yelled.
All their attack flew to Sen. The protector guarding Sen repelled their
attacks back at them. Saturn quickly raised her Glaive.
"Silent Wall!" Saturn yelled and protected the Senshi. Silver Jade
kicked her opponent hard and then quickly jumped to the White Ninja.
Her opponent fell the floor but Silver Jade was too late. Sen
already drained the White Ninja's life. There was a bright light that
sent Silver Jade back flying to the ground. The White Ninja was pale
his as his head was hung. Red Sun caught Silver Jade as she fell to the
ground. The White Ninja's body floated in the air in his back. Sen
absorbed the White Ninja's body into his cloak and had a mask to cover
his face. Sen was more powerful. He was now a Larva (meaning masked
being). He raised his arms and flew toward the sky.
"Face it you lost." One of the female protectors said and they all
disappeared laughing.
The Senshi (except Mamoru) shed tears now Philip was lost to them.
"Poor Rani." Saturn cried.
Uranus looked up and saw a glint of something shiny falling from the
sky. It fell on the ground in front of her as she picked it up. It was
Philip's anniversary present to Rani. He didn't give it to her yet.
The Senshi looked at the four new ninjas, two female and two male.
"We'll get them next time." Sailor Moon said and looked at the new
ninjas.
They introduced themselves and all of them put their katanas (Japanese
sword) away
Midnight Jade, 22, her colors were deep blue and black. She had hair
was dark and half up as it flowed down her back.
Indigo Jade, 21, She wore colors that were deep purple and black. She
had a long braid down her back. She had telepathic abilities.
Ocher Wind, 23, he wore yellowish tan colors. His power was that
controlled wind and sand.
Sepia Oak, 22, he had the oddest name. He wore light brownish colors
and was a necromancer.( if he was a vampire he's be a neck-romancer
but he's not.)
"Midnight Jade, Sepia Oak, Ocher Wind, and Indigo Jade. Follow them
and see where they went." Gray Spirit said and the left.
Silver Jade stood up and hung her head.
"Silver Jade..." Uranus said then Silver Jade lowered her mask and
turned to the Senshi. They all gasped as they looked at Rani's face.
Saturn hugged Silver Jade crying as the other ninjas lowered their
masks too. No tears came to any of the ninjas eyes. Silver Jade hugged
Saturn and let her go.
"Gomen Nasai." Uranus hugged Silver Jade.
"Forgive me Haruka." Silver Jade whispered hugged her then let her go.
The Senshi had a good look of the ninjas without their masks.
"Iria...Peter you're..." Neptune said. Black Jade and Gray spirit
nodded.
"Wow Elaine and Justin are Crimson Jade and Red Sun." Mercury said.
Sailor Moon and Venus looked at Gray Spirit.
"Wait I'm a little confused now." Venus said. "You're blind..."
"Yeah Peter-san" Mako said "you weren't blind this afternoon."
"As a ninja I'm blind" he said "When I'm not I can see. Kyoshi is my
second pair of eyes."
Uranus gave Silver Jade Philip's gift. Silver Jade took it and put it
around her neck. She held the jade close to her and closed her eyes
"It's Philip's anniversary present to you." Uranus said.
"Arigato" Silver Jade said.
"Rani-san we'll get him back." Sailor Moon said putting a hand on her
shoulder.
Silver Jade took her hand off as Sailor Moon gave and odd look.
"You can't get him back. We have to accept it." Silver Jade said.
The ninjas walked to the shadows and disappeared through them.
"She took it awfully well." Rei said and then thought to herself. "
Better than Usagi would, like when Mamoru was kidnapped how many
billions of times."
"She didn't shed a bloody tear." Uranus said.
"Neither of then did" Pluto said. "We all lost a good friend."
"A ninja does not shed tears." Saturn said wiping hers away.
Saturn brought out the silver feather Philip gave her. She remembered
the time he spent with her. Mamoru gave a rose to Saturn. She took it
and put it with the feather on the ground. Everyone looked up at the
sky.
"Sayonara Philip-san" they all said. "We'll miss you."
The next day Rani was with Philip in his car as they were driving to
town. He noticed she as quiet.
"You okay sweetie?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm worried about Haruka."
"Why?"
"Silver Jade almost killed her."
"The White Ninja almost killed Mamoru."
"I know Haruka must be a little freaked out about this. She was so
close to death."
"She'll be fine she's a tough fighter. How did you know Haruka was
Sailor Uranus?"
"She took a long time at that one lunch she and I had and she knew
Sailor Moon..."
"Yeah I would suspect the same thing." Philip interrupted
"So we knew the rest of the Sailor Senshi then?"
"That's right."
"Haruka will be fine. Her last encounter with Silver Jade was okay. I
mean she wasn't spooked out of her mind."
"It seems that way but deep inside I think that incident with Silver
Jade still bothers her."
"She's a beautiful fighter."
"Uranus or Silver Jade?" She smirked looking at him.
"Silver Jade of course." He smiled.
"If you say so. You'd be looking wouldn't you?" Rani joked.
"Hey it's an observation." He laughed.
"You are terrible." She laughed.
They arrived in town and went to the Yaohan supermarket. They walked
in, each, doing their own shopping but together.
They bumped into her brother.
"Doing a little shopping?"
"Yup, stock up on junk food." He smiled.
"Justin," Rani said a little concerned.
"It's okay hey you shouldn't talk you're just as bad."
"Alright, maybe I shouldn't talk."
"Rani " a female voice said. Rani turned her head and saw Iria approach
them.
"Ohayo." Justin and Iria smiled back.
"This is weird we're all shopping at the same time." Philip said and
they all chatted a little about their groceries. (Nothing interesting)
"Well see ya" Rani said and Philip went with her.
"Ja ne!" Iria and Justin said.
Rani went down the candy aisle and starting looking through it.
"You're just as bad as your brother." Philip joked.
"I hate you" she said kissing him.
" I knew you couldn't hate me for long." He joked and hugged her.
Rani pushed him and he laughed.
"And you two say you're not married." Usagi said laughing.
Philip and Rani looked at her.
"We're not" Philip said "we're too young."
"You two are not too young." Usagi said. "Mamo-chan and I planned to
get married."
"That's because you two are destined to be together." Rani said.
"You know I'm the Moon Princess?"
"Ahem. "Philip cleared his throat. And Rani looked at him. She said a
little too much.
"Well it's obvious" Rani covered herself." You two really love each
other? Moon Princess what? One of your childhood memories?"
"Oh anyways. Rani-san I'm hungry let's go." Usagi said taking her arm.
"Go where?" Rani asked.
"Out to lunch."
"Philip-san?" a girl's voice said. Philip turned and saw Hotaru.
"Ohayo Hotaru-chan" Philip smiled looking at her. Hotaru blushed.
"Philip-san, Haruka and Michiru are doing something with Setsuna
tonight. I don't want to go but can I..." Hotaru asked embarrassed.
"You want to do something with Rani and me? Philip finished for her
then Hotaru smiled.
"Okay sweetie, when?"
"OOO I wonder what Haruka Michiru and Setsuna are going?" Usagi
squealed.
"They're going to watch a movie Usagi-chan." Hotaru said to her then
turned to Philip. "Tonight? It is okay?"
"Hey sweetie, I don't think we're going anything tonight right?" Philip
asked Rani.
"No, sure you can spend the evening with us.I'm afraid you might get
bored though Hotaru-chan." Rani smiled.
"I've seen the movie a billion times already. Arigato" she hugged Rani
and Philip
"Usagi-chan..." Rani said as Usagi looked at her watch.
"YAHH! I'm late for a meeting!" Usagi screamed. "Ja ne, Philip-san,
Rani-san, and Hotaru-chan" Usagi ran out the door.
"Aren't you going?" Rani asked Hotaru.
"No they're still trying to figure out who the four ninjas are." Hotaru
smiled.
"Good luck!" Philip smiled.
Later that night Hotaru, Philip, and Rani walked in the park.
"Arigato" Hotaru said.
"Why?" Philip asked
"For spending time with me."
"No problem sweetie." Philip smiled as he bent down and hugged her.
"You guys look like a family." Usagi yelled then Philip stood up as
they all looked at Usagi. Right beside her stood Mamoru.
"Midnight stroll?" Rani asked.
"Yeah." Mamoru said.
Suddenly a cloaked spirit quickly grabbed Mamoru and flew him
into the air.
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi cried.
"Usagi-chan henshin..."Hotaru said
Usagi nodded."
"Moon Eternal Make-up!" Usagi yelled.
They transformed into Sailor Moon and Sailor Saturn.
When they were done Black Jade and the White Ninja stood before them.
Mamoru tried to fight the cloaked spirit but felt himself getting weak.
The spirit had already started draining the life from him.
"Mamo-chan" Sailor Moon cried.
Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna walked out of the movie theater.
They saw the Shawshank Redemption.
"Man that was an awesome movie."Haruka said.
"Mamo-chan!" they heard Sailor Moon cry." Black Jade save him."
"Oh geez, how many times does that damn boy get kidnapped?" Haruka
rolled her eyes.
"Too many." Setsuna and Michiru said together.
"Uranus Crystal Power Make-up!" Haruka yelled.
"Neptune Crystal Power Make-up!" Michiru yelled.
"Pluto Crystal Power Make-up!" Setsuna yelled.
When they were done they looked at each other.
"Let's go!" Uranus said then ran to meet with Saturn and Sailor Moon.
Black Jade looked up at the cloaked spirit and jumped up to him. The
spirit opened his cloak and sent a wind blast at her. She blocked it
but it sent her backwards. She fell to the ground and landed on her
feet.
"World..." Uranus raised her arm.
The White Ninja hit Uranus' hand with his staff as she held it.
"What?" Uranus looked at him surprised.
"You'll hit Mamoru." He said.
The spirit held Mamoru as his life was sucked dry.
"No!" Sailor Moon cried.
The spirit waited for a change to occur but nothing happened. He gave
back Mamoru's life and threw him down falling to the ground unconscious.
After that he sent more spirits to the Senshi and the ninjas. All of
them were too busy fighting the spirits to save Mamoru from falling to
his death. Red Sun appeared.
"Red Sun" the White Ninja yelled while fighting a spirit. " Save
Mamoru."
Red Sun rushed to Mamoru trying to catch him. Before he got to him
several spirits appeared in front of him. Sailor Moon ran toward the
falling Mamoru but a cloaked spirit stopped her.
"Mamo-chan! I ..." she yelled.
Mamoru was about 100 feet from the ground.
Suddenly there was a blast of light blinding everyone.
When it faded out the spirits were gone. All they heard was the cry of
a falcon. The huge falcon caught Mamoru and flew him to safety.
"Where did that?...Sailor Moon follow it." Setsuna said.
Sailor Moon nodded and followed the falcon. Three ninjas appeared in
front of them. One was Silver Jade. There were two new ones, a male
and a female.
The male ninja had light brown hair and wore gray, he
controlled sound, created illusions and he was blind. His eyes were
always closed and in his hand he held a three-section staff.
The female ninja was in deep red. She had two ancient Chinese
butterfly knives. She had reddish black hair and brown eyes.
"Are you...?" Michiru asked.
"Meet Crimson Jade and Gray Spirit." Silver Jade said.
The falcon returned to Gray spirit. It was a pretty big bird.
Gray spirit reduced him back to his normal size which was a little
smaller than a parrot.
"Arigato, my friend." Gray Spirit said to the bird.
Uranus looked at Gray Spirit and waved her hand in front of his face.
"Are you blind?" she asked
Gray Spirit nodded. As the falcon let out a scream. The Outer Senshi
looked at the beautiful bird in amazement. It was brown with silver
and white feathers inter-mixed in his tail.
"Kyoshi." The White Ninja called to the falcon. The bird flew to the
White Ninja. Saturn stared at it. The falcon trusted each ninja
completely and it was a very smart obedient bird.
"Kyoshi, give something to Sailor Saturn." The White Ninja said.
Kyoshi flew over Sailor Saturn and extended his wings letting out a cry.
It dropped a silver feather into her hands.
"Arigato." Saturn said.
Silver Jade approached Uranus.
"You're not afraid of me?" Silver Jade asked
"No, there's a lot I need to learn." Uranus said
"Gomen Nasai about..."
" Silver Jade, I see there is peace in your eyes can you see the same
in mine?"
Silver Jade looked in Uranus' eyes
"Hai" Silver Jade said" we are allies."
"No, we are friends." Uranus said extending her hand and they shook
hands.
"You've gained our trust the silver feather symbolizes it." Silver
Jade said taking her hand away.
"Who are you?" Setsuna asked.
"We already told you." Black Jade said.
"No, who you really are...underneath that mask." Neptune said
"The time is not right yet.' Gray Spirit said. "Be patient Sailor
Senshi, we will tell you when the time is right."
"Fare well Sailor Senshi," Crimson Jade said as all the ninjas vanished
through their dark pools.
The next day Philip said he wanted to talk to Hotaru. Philip
and Hotaru were at Rei's temple. She wasn't home because she was at
school. Philip sat on the steps as Hotaru sat near him.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Hotaru asked.
"I'll let you in on a secret." He smiled.
"Okay." Hotaru smiled.
Philip cupped his hand over his mouth. He looked as though he was
whistling but Hotaru didn't hear any sound. She looked puzzled as she
watched his lips move slightly.
"What did you do?" She asked.
"You'll see." He said
They heard the cry of a falcon and to Hotaru's amazement it flew
toward them. Her eyes were transfixed on the falcon. When it reached
it's destination which was Philip's arm. There in Philip's place stood
the White Ninja as Hotaru gasped.
"Don't be afraid" he said gently and took off his mask.
Hotaru looked at Philip's face and hugged him.
"Is that what you meant by when the time is right."
"We had to trust you first. I do, and so does Rani."
"Rani?"
"Ohayo Hotaru-chan" a female voice called from behind her. There stood
Silver Jade as she lowered her mask.
"Rani" Hotaru smiled. "Does Haruka know?"
"I haven't told her yet." Rani said quietly.
"Why not?"
"I almost killed her I didn't mean it. I don't think she can forgive
me."
"Did you know who she was?" Hotaru asked.
"Not until Michiru cried her name. I put it all together. Haruka took a
long time at the lunch, she held her arm after she and I fought, and
she knew Sailor Moon. All the Outer Senshi cried as Haruka lie on the
ground as Sailor Uranus.
"She forgave you."
"She still doesn't know who I am."
"It's a misunderstanding she will understand." Hotaru said "tell her
please you trust her right?"
Silver Jade nodded.
"Tell her Rani." White Ninja said.
"Alright, I'll tell her." Silver Jade said. "Did Mamoru get home okay?"
"Kyoshi flew him home then Sailor Moon stayed with him." The White
Ninja said.
"He's a smart bird." Hotaru said and the White Ninja smiled.
"Kyoshi" Silver Jade said "Find Haruka and bring her here."
Kyoshi let out a cry and flew from the temple into the sky.
The falcon flew around and found Haruka fixing her car. He
flew down as Haruka looked at it.
"You're the same bird from last night." She said to it.
The falcon just flew around and kept letting out a cry. Haruka walked
toward it as it started flying away. Haruka walked toward as it
started flying away.
Haruka kept walking toward it as it flew farther from her. Kyoshi flew
toward Rei's temple finally Haruka went there too.
Meanwhile Michiru went to the Asian art museum with Makoto.Mako
didn't feel too comfortable going but Haruka had to fix her car so
Mako kept Michiru company. The museum had a theater for guest speakers
and performances.
Iria Suzaku was walking around her museum with her assistant Peter
Sazakawa. They both wore business suits. Peter was 21, short brown hair.
He looked very quiet but he was very wise.
"Peter, that has to move." Iria said pointing to a sculpture.
"I agree it looks bad there." Peter said.
"Oh my gosh that's Iria Suzaku, the art director." Michiru smiled.
"Of what?" Mako asked.
"This museum." Michiru said "She replaced the old director. He had the
tackiest taste in art."
"I see no difference." Mako said.
"Mako, quit playing." Michiru said laughing.
"Michiru Kaioh?" Iria asked and that made Michiru jump.
"UHH" Michiru said speechless and overwhelmed looked at Iria.
"I read about you...would you like to play your violin in the theater
every week?" Iria smiled.
"Uhh. Michiru was still speechless then Mako nudges her.
"Sure, arigato oh arigato Iria." Michiru finally said.
"Come tomorrow at this time which is 11 o'clock. Here's my card." Iria
said and Peter handed her Iria's business card.
"Peter you can say something." Iria smiled.
"Nice to meet you" he said smiling "what type of music do you play?"
"Classical." Michiru said.
"Do you play too?" Peter smiled at Mako.
"Gomen, I cook though." She said.
"Gourmet?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, gotta see that someday." He smiled.
"Sure."
"Peter" Iria called and started to leave.
"Nice meeting you bye." Peter said and followed Iria.
"Macking on the director's assistant huh?" Michiru said smiling.
"He's too old for me." Mako said. "He's probably married."
"You don't know how old he is."
"Still..."
"Alright c'mon I gotta go practice." Michiru said as they walked out of
the museum.
Haruka arrived at the temple as Kyoshi rested on a tree. Hotaru was
there smiling.
"Haruka I'm so happy you're here." Hotaru said
"Hotaru, what' going on?" Haruka said suspiciously.
"Silver Jade has something to tell you."
"Haruka Tenoh?" Silver Jade said
Haruka turned around as Silver Jade and the White Ninja stood before
her.
"Silver Jade, you have something for me?"
"I think it's about time we introduced ourselves." The White Ninja said.
Both ninjas raised their hands to their masks.
After school Rei and Ami were in the Morisato bookstore. Of course Rei
was bored out of her mind.
"Are you finished yet Ami-chan?" Rei asked impatiently.
"No I need to get the perfect..."
"Ami-chan, look a cute guy."
Ami looked up in the direction the guy was standing in then went back
to her books.
"He has a girlfriend Rei-chan."
Rei looked at the girl then her smile dropped
"Nah." Rei said then saw them looking at her. Rei turned around
quickly pretending to look at books with Ami. She snuck a little peak
to see them but they weren't there. Rei let out a sigh as Ami was
oblivious to the whole thing.
"Ami-chan. Rei-chan." a male voice said behind them.
Rei and Ami turn around as Rei jumped. It was the same guy and girl she
was looking at a few minutes ago.
"Ohayo I'm Rani's older brother." Justin smiled. "She told me about
you."
Ami laughed at Rei. Rei felt a little embarrassed she was checking out
Rani's brother.
"This is Elaine Kasumi." He said introducing the girl he was with.
Elaine, 21, smiled and shook their hands.
"Nice to meet you." She said.
"Nice to meet you too." They smiled.
Justin and Elaine sensed something wrong.
"I sense something wrong at home." Rei said
Rei and Ami ran out of the store as Elaine and Justin followed them.
"Mars Crystal Power Make-up!" Rei yelled
"Mercury crystal Power Make-up!" Ami yelled.
Soon after their transformation they saw four ninjas run pass them,
jump into the air, and disappear.
"Hey isn't that?..." Mars said "Wait who are they?"
Let's think about that later right now they're something we have to
take care of first." Mercury said while running then Mars followed
behind.
At the temple, Sen stood before the two ninjas. He outstretched his
arms and more cloaked spirits appeared. Ten of the spirits stood out
differently compared the 20 others. The ten stood on the ground and
took of their cloaks. Ten warriors stood before them: five men and
five women.
Haruka looked at them as Hotaru stood behind her.
"Silver Jade..."Haruka said and didn't see her there or anywhere.
"Hotaru Henshin" then Hotaru nodded. "Uranus Crystal Power Make-up!"
After that was over with Uranus and Saturn stood before the ten
warriors.
"Uranus, Saturn," the rest of the Senshi arrived and stood with them.
"We're out-numbered." Sailor Moon said then she felt a hand on her
shoulder. Tuxedo Kaman stood next to her as she smiled at him.
The Senshi looked at each other then at the warriors in front of them.
Each Senshi stood in front of each warrior.
"The famous Sailor Senshi." one of the males said. "Weak pathetic fools."
"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked.
"The ten protectors of Lady Hoshiro." One of the females said.
Each protector outstretched their arms combining one powerful strong
attack. It was silent yet very powerful attack and it also had no name.
The sky became dark as black energy ribbons flowed around the Senshi
tearing their outfits and cutting their skin. The Senshi fell to the
floor as the protectors raised their arms to the sky which meant to
initiate the attack. The attack hit the Senshi backwards flying them
out of sight. You could hear the Senshi (and Tuxedo Kamen) screaming a
few blocks away then it faded.
"Hah they didn't stand a chance." One the males said. Then all the
protectors from the triumphant finishing of the Sailor Senshi.
Suddenly in the same direction where the Senshi were flown to
there were a series of surprise attack. First the protectors heard a
high pitch tone which almost drove their minds insane. Second they were
blinded by bright light followed by a harsh wind which made them almost
impossible to hold their footing to the ground. Then the entire temple
became dark so they couldn't see. Vines came from the ground and held
their feet as the darkness lifted. They tried to cut themselves free but
not in time. Suddenly every protector was slammed against the wall by
columns of water, earth, wind, a fire volcano, and green energy.
The protectors fell to the ground and got up slowly.
"What the heck was that?" they all said.
From the distance they saw ten figures appear from where the Senshi
were flown. Each ninjas carried an unconscious Senshi (including Tuxedo
Kamen) in their arms. The ninjas put the Senshi gently on the ground
and approached the protectors.
Sailor Saturn opened her eyes and looked at the two opposing
teams. Hoshiro appeared as an image before them all. Sen and the
protectors bowed to her.
"Sen, now get me the male of the purest heart." Hoshiro said and
disappeared. All the Senshi opened their eyes and sat up holding their
heads.
Sen flew into the sky upward then downward and absorbed into
the ground. Then he appeared again snatching the White Ninja as he
flew upward.
"Philip!" Saturn cried.
The Senshi looked at Saturn in confusion. Silver Jade and the other
ninjas tried to fight Sen. The protectors quickly stopped the ninjas
before they got to Sen. One of the protectors flew up to Sen and made
sure the life draining process of the White ninja was finished and
took care of any intruders. The Senshi watched as each ninja had
their hands full fighting each protector.
"Senshi..." Black Jade said dodging a blow from one of the female
protectors. "Stop Sen..." Black Jade threw a punch as her opponent
dodged it. "He'll drain the White Ninja's life completely." She
finished and kick her opponent straight to the head.
"World Shaking!" Uranus said
"Dead Scream" Pluto whispered.
"Deep Submerge!" Neptune yelled.
All their attack flew to Sen. The protector guarding Sen repelled their
attacks back at them. Saturn quickly raised her Glaive.
"Silent Wall!" Saturn yelled and protected the Senshi. Silver Jade
kicked her opponent hard and then quickly jumped to the White Ninja.
Her opponent fell the floor but Silver Jade was too late. Sen
already drained the White Ninja's life. There was a bright light that
sent Silver Jade back flying to the ground. The White Ninja was pale
his as his head was hung. Red Sun caught Silver Jade as she fell to the
ground. The White Ninja's body floated in the air in his back. Sen
absorbed the White Ninja's body into his cloak and had a mask to cover
his face. Sen was more powerful. He was now a Larva (meaning masked
being). He raised his arms and flew toward the sky.
"Face it you lost." One of the female protectors said and they all
disappeared laughing.
The Senshi (except Mamoru) shed tears now Philip was lost to them.
"Poor Rani." Saturn cried.
Uranus looked up and saw a glint of something shiny falling from the
sky. It fell on the ground in front of her as she picked it up. It was
Philip's anniversary present to Rani. He didn't give it to her yet.
The Senshi looked at the four new ninjas, two female and two male.
"We'll get them next time." Sailor Moon said and looked at the new
ninjas.
They introduced themselves and all of them put their katanas (Japanese
sword) away
Midnight Jade, 22, her colors were deep blue and black. She had hair
was dark and half up as it flowed down her back.
Indigo Jade, 21, She wore colors that were deep purple and black. She
had a long braid down her back. She had telepathic abilities.
Ocher Wind, 23, he wore yellowish tan colors. His power was that
controlled wind and sand.
Sepia Oak, 22, he had the oddest name. He wore light brownish colors
and was a necromancer.( if he was a vampire he's be a neck-romancer
but he's not.)
"Midnight Jade, Sepia Oak, Ocher Wind, and Indigo Jade. Follow them
and see where they went." Gray Spirit said and the left.
Silver Jade stood up and hung her head.
"Silver Jade..." Uranus said then Silver Jade lowered her mask and
turned to the Senshi. They all gasped as they looked at Rani's face.
Saturn hugged Silver Jade crying as the other ninjas lowered their
masks too. No tears came to any of the ninjas eyes. Silver Jade hugged
Saturn and let her go.
"Gomen Nasai." Uranus hugged Silver Jade.
"Forgive me Haruka." Silver Jade whispered hugged her then let her go.
The Senshi had a good look of the ninjas without their masks.
"Iria...Peter you're..." Neptune said. Black Jade and Gray spirit
nodded.
"Wow Elaine and Justin are Crimson Jade and Red Sun." Mercury said.
Sailor Moon and Venus looked at Gray Spirit.
"Wait I'm a little confused now." Venus said. "You're blind..."
"Yeah Peter-san" Mako said "you weren't blind this afternoon."
"As a ninja I'm blind" he said "When I'm not I can see. Kyoshi is my
second pair of eyes."
Uranus gave Silver Jade Philip's gift. Silver Jade took it and put it
around her neck. She held the jade close to her and closed her eyes
"It's Philip's anniversary present to you." Uranus said.
"Arigato" Silver Jade said.
"Rani-san we'll get him back." Sailor Moon said putting a hand on her
shoulder.
Silver Jade took her hand off as Sailor Moon gave and odd look.
"You can't get him back. We have to accept it." Silver Jade said.
The ninjas walked to the shadows and disappeared through them.
"She took it awfully well." Rei said and then thought to herself. "
Better than Usagi would, like when Mamoru was kidnapped how many
billions of times."
"She didn't shed a bloody tear." Uranus said.
"Neither of then did" Pluto said. "We all lost a good friend."
"A ninja does not shed tears." Saturn said wiping hers away.
Saturn brought out the silver feather Philip gave her. She remembered
the time he spent with her. Mamoru gave a rose to Saturn. She took it
and put it with the feather on the ground. Everyone looked up at the
sky.
"Sayonara Philip-san" they all said. "We'll miss you."
