Hello there to those who still read my story. I almost wasn't going to post this chapter with the low response I received with Chapter 5, but here it is. Please if you haven't already, read and review chapter 5, that was the longest and to me the best chapter of this story. Now don't get me wrong, this chapter here is pretty good, and I would like the feed back on this one as well. Now Chapter 7 will be the last chapter followed by an Epilogue. Both of which are done and typed out. If you really want them, please review! So enough with my babble, I will let you read the story.

Chapter 6
After the graduation ceremony was over, the tears started to flow. Ten friends came together for a very big group hug. Setsuna, Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru stood behind them watching the group hug with smiles on each of their faces. About a minute later, the hug ended. Seiya then wrapped his arm around Usagi, Taiki did the same with Ami, as did Yaten with Minako. Makoto was standing in front of Shinozaki, with his arms draped around her, as Rei and Yuuichirou held hands.
"You guys made it!" Usagi said with excitement looking at the four outers.
"Of course we made it," Haruka said, "it's not everyday our princess walks across the stage. As one of the valedictorians too none the less."
"I am so proud of you Usagi-chan," Michiru said as tears formed in her eyes. She then enveloped Usagi in a big, yet gentle hug.
"Great job everyone, you finally made it," Setsuna said looking at her graduated friends.
"So how does it feel to be out of school?" Hotaru asked with a smile on her face.
"I don't know yet. I mean it will probably hit me later, but right now I am glad that I graduated," Usagi said with a huge grin on her face.
"I feel that I can speak for all of us when I say this Usagi-chan, but I am so proud of you. You have grown up so beautifully since I first met you, and I am honored to have a princess like you!" Michiru said as tears came to her eyes. The rest of the group nodded in agreement. Makoto and Rei both wiped away a tear from their eyes. Tears filled Usagi's eyes and spilled over when a smile appeared on her face. She went over to Michiru and gave her another hug.
"Thank you for those kind words. It means so much to me know that I have wonderful friends like you guys."
"Having a wonderful person like you for a friend makes our job's a lot easier," Seiya said draping his arms over Usagi's shoulders.
"There is no need to kiss up to me Seiya, you are already on my good side."
"Usagi, there is something that I want to ask you," Seiya said turning to face Usagi. Everybody was paying close attention to what Seiya was going to say.
"What is it Seiya-chan?"
"Usagi, you know that I love you with all my heart right?"
"Of course I do Seiya-chan, and I love you too."
"Usa-chan, there is something that I want to ask you."
"Seiya you're making me a little nervous. What is it that you want to ask me?" Seiya looked deeply in Usagi's eyes, then proceeded to get down on one knee. A gasp could be heard from all of the girls, but all of them said nothing as they waited for Seiya to continue.
"Usagi, never in my life have I met someone as beautiful, kind hearted, and wonderful as you," Seiya said looking up at Usagi. There were fresh tears in her eyes, and a smile on her face. She saw Seiya reach inside his graduation gown and pull something out of his shirt pocket. Usagi looked at the small box in his hand, then back at Seiya with wide eyes. "Usagi, I love you, and I was wondering if you…" Seiya was cut off by another voice.
"Congratulations Usako." Usagi's head snapped up and whirled as did the senshi. Usagi's parents were confused and turned in the direction of the voice. Realization hit them when they saw Mamoru standing there.
"Mamoru-san what are you doing here?" Haruka demanded, looking ready to kill.
"Do you think that I would miss my Usako's graduation day?" Usagi just stood there frozen to the spot. Shock was written across her face when she saw Mamoru standing there. Seiya stood up and dusted himself off.
"Mamoru, I think you should go home. You don't belong here anymore," Makoto said standing next to an equally pissed off Haruka.
"Of course I belong here Mako-chan," Mamoru said, "there's nowhere else I'd rather be."
"You are being very smug Mamoru-san, and I don't appreciate it," Michiru said in a firm tone. Usagi was still in shock, unable to move or speak as she looked at Mamoru watching the events unfold. A flood of emotions washed through her as she looked at Mamoru, then Seiya.
Seiya noticed Usagi's discomfort and placed his arm around her. Usagi started to relax as she leaned into his embrace. Mamoru noticed this and made his way over to Usagi. Producing a red rose, Mamoru smiled and handed it to her.
"Congratulations Usako, I am very proud of you," Mamoru finished as he embraced Usagi. Seiya saw Usagi stiffen in Mamoru's embrace and decided to take action.
"So you must be Mamoru-san," Seiya inquired offering his hand.
"And you must be the rock star who is treading on dangerous territory," Mamoru looked at Seiya's and then his face and just sneered.
"If I am not mistaken, you were the one who always broke her heart. You were the one who left her in tears at the airport two years ago. So Mamoru-san, I am not the one treading on dangerous territory, you are. Now please leave Usa-chan and her friends alone."
"You guys please stop, it's our graduation day. We should be happy, not fighting," Usagi pleaded. Seiya looked at Usagi and his features softened. A smile blossomed on his face as he looked into Usagi's eyes.
Mamoru stood there rigid watching the emotions being shared by Seiya and his Usako. Anger clouded his vision to where all he could see was red. Balling his hands into fists, he raised one and sent it sailing toward Seiya's face.
"Mamoru, no!" Usagi shouted. Seiya's head snapped up, but he wasn't fast enough to move out of the way. Seiya tensed up for the impact, but it never came. Confused, Seiya opened his eyes and saw a hand inches from his face, with a fist enclosed in it. Following the hand to the arm, the arm to the shoulder, and the shoulder up to the face of the one who saved his face from pain. Eyes wide in shock, Seiya looked at the sandy blonde haired woman named Haruka. The woman who he thought that couldn't stand him looked at him and winked. Seiya smiled and backed away from Mamoru's encased fist.
"Arigatou Haruka-san."
"Don't mention it Seiya."
"Am I to believe that you are warming up to me?" Seiya asked, a smile tugging on his lips.
"Don't be cocky Seiya. You make my neko-chan happy, unlike her prince here. As long as you keep her happy, you won't have to worry about me. Now as for you Mamoru-san, go back to America you don't belong here anymore," Haruka ordered letting go of Mamoru's fist.
Mamoru dropped his fist to his side, but not before lifting his other fist and connecting with Haruka's face. A collection of gasps could be heard as Haruka's hand went to her face.
"I am going to give you to the count of three to get out of here," Haruka growled, fire shooting out of her eyes.
"What are you going to do if I don't Haruka?"
"It's not just what she is going to do, it's what all of us are going to do," Makoto said. The rest of the girls plus the lights, Shinozaki and Yuuichirou flanked Haruka and Makoto. Usagi walked forward looking Mamoru in the eyes as she spoke.
"Mamoru-san I am asking you to leave here and never come back. There was a time when I loved you, and hoped you'd come back to me. I've moved on Mamoru, and so should you. Plus seeing you attempt to hit Seiya, then actually striking Haruka, who is a girl, I've lost all respect for you. I wouldn't feel safe around you knowing that you would hit a girl if you were angry. What if that was me? You need to leave Mamoru. I will not tolerate you trying to attack my boyfriend, then actually attacking one of my best friends. Good-bye Mamoru-san." Usagi turned around and went back to Seiya.
"Usako, I love you. I only want the best for you and your future."
"If you want the best for me, then leave. Don't turn back, and don't bother us again. I am happy now, and you need to find something else that makes you happy."
"What about Chibiusa-chan?" Mamoru asked crossing his arms across his chest. Usagi was about to open her mouth to say something when a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. Usagi looked up to see Setsuna's garnet eyes looking back at her with a "let me handle this" look. Usagi nodded and with a wave of her hand allowed Setsuna to step in.
Very calmly, Setsuna stepped in front of Mamoru and spoke. "Mamoru-san, the path to the future has many branches that one must choose from. The image of the future that you saw five years ago has altered because of your actions. You chose the path that lead you here because of your own selfishness."
"Why didn't you interfere? Why didn't you stop me from doing what I did?"
"It's not my job to make your decisions. I only show up when something disrupts the time streams drastically, or in this case, to see my princess graduate with honors. Usagi has shown great strength, and she doesn't need you by her side to aid her in the future. Your job is done Mamoru, we will no longer serve you." Setsuna finished as calmly as she started.
"Why isn't anyone fighting back?!" Makoto said amazed that Haruka didn't swing back. When she received no answer she got even angrier. "Fine if nobody else is going to, I will," Makoto said and swung as hard as she could and connected with the side of Mamoru's face. Mamoru stumbled for a few seconds before regaining his footing. A nice red mark was forming on his cheek, as a small trail of blood snaked its way down his face from the cut of the blow. Makoto looked at her hand noticing that she was wearing a ring that caused the cut and smiled. It felt good to hit him, returning at least some of the pain that he inflicted on Usagi.
Mamoru just stood there looking at Usagi and her royal court, blood still running down his face. He saw Usagi's family who looked confused and angered at the same time. His gaze fell on one very pissed off Haruka, a blood thirsty Makoto, before resting on Seiya. He still had the urge to slam his fist in his face, but after the pounding Makoto gave him for hitting Haruka, he didn't want to risk it. Squaring his shoulders, Mamoru turned around and walked away. As soon as Mamoru was out of sight, Usagi latched onto Seiya and let out a very relieved breath.
"Usa are you okay?" Seiya asked holding onto his princess.
"Yeah I am okay. I am a little mentally drained, but I am good. How is your jaw Haruka, and your fist Makoto?"
"Don't you worry about me koneko-chan, I am just fine."
"I'm feeling great Usagi-chan."
"I am so sorry Haruka…"
"Usagi it is okay. Mamoru is really lucky that I didn't hit him back."
"Yeah why didn't you hit him back?" Makoto questioned, puzzled over that concept.
"I thought that it would have upset the princess, but I guess I was wrong. That and it would have attracted a large crowd, but I don't see people running over here either. Damnit had I known that, I would have decked him back. At least you nailed him Mako-chan, nice work couldn't have done it better myself."
"Thanks Haruka," Makoto said.
"Yeah, thank you Haruka," Seiya said stepping up to the tall woman.
"For what?" Haruka inquired.
"For saving my face from a pounding." Seiya said with a smile on his face.
"Like I said before, you just keep her happy and your face will be just fine," Haruka responded with a cocky grin on her face.
"Okay you girls we are totally confused, but first we want pictures. Once we get home, you've got some explaining to do," Ikuko said finally stepping into the conversation. Kenji had a million different expressions on his face. Shingo just stood there not really sure where this was all headed.
"I guess we do owe you an explanation. Not right now though, I want to enjoy this moment with my friends. So get your cameras, girls gather together and smile," Usagi ordered gathering up all the girls.
"Hey what about us?" Seiya whined referring to his brothers, Shinozaki, and Yuuichirou.
"Let the girls get a few shots together, then we will include you guys," Haruka said lowering her camera. About five minutes passed and now the whole group was together. Kenji, Ikuko, and Shingo all had various cameras in their hands taking shots of the group of warriors and friends. Another five minutes of picture taking went by, and now everybody was blinded from all the camera flashes.
"Now that you are all blinded, let's gather back at the house where you can explain what took place," Ikuko said looking at Usagi and her friends.
"I will see you at home mama," Usagi replied with a nervous laugh.
"Don't be long dear," Kenji ordered.
"Hai papa," Usagi called out as her family walked away. As soon as they were out of sight, Usagi whirled around. "What are we going to do? Setsuna we're going to have to tell them who we are!"
"Usagi-chan, relax, it's going to be okay. They were going to find out sooner or later, you are going to be queen one day," Setsuna catatonically replied.
"Yeah, but not for a long time, they wont be around to see that! Unless you are not telling me something," Usagi accused looking at Setsuna suspiciously. Setsuna just looked back at Usagi for what seemed like ages. Time stood still, the little hairs on the back of Usagi's neck stood on edge waiting for what Setsuna was going to say. Setsuna kept looking at her, her features softened and with a raise of her shoulders, she shrugged.
"You should know better, asking me a question like that." Everybody face faulted as large sweat drops appeared on their head. "Everything will be okay Usagi-chan," Setsuna assured placing her hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Now are we ready to go?" Everybody nodded his or her head and started walking away. Shinozaki and Yuuichirou had very confused looks on their faces, but decided to save all questions they had for later.
About twenty minutes later at the Tsukino house, eleven nervous senshi sat before Usagi's family, Shinozaki, and Yuuichirou.
"Okay Usagi, what is this all about?" Kenji enquired looking at his daughter then at her friends. His eyes came across Setsuna and was a little uncomfortable at how calm and all knowing she looked. His eyes then rested on Usagi as he waited for an answer. Usagi looked at everyone who didn't know the secret, and took a deep breath.
"Papa, Mama, Shingo, Yuuichirou, and Shinozaki," Usagi started trying to stall as much as possible. Seeing the looks on the five faces, she continued. "we are the Sailor Senshi…" Usagi was cut off by the hysterical laughter that erupted from Shingo.
"Right, and the next thing you're going to say is that you're Sailor Moon. Great joke Usagi." Shingo then noticed how serious Usagi looked and how she glanced at all her friends then back at him with the same serious look on her face. When he noticed the same look on the faces of the other eight girls and three guys, Shingo stopped laughing. "Y-you're not joking are you?"
"No I'm not, but there is more," Usagi then continued to fill them in on the moon kingdom up to the roll that she'd play in the future. "Funny isn't it? Usagi the ditzy, whiny, crybaby, future Queen of the Earth," Usagi finished with a nervous giggle. The five listeners were totally speechless, that is until Shingo came to.
"I don't buy it Usagi. How can a crybaby such as yourself be the Sailor Senshi Sailor Moon? Granted that you've grown a lot, but you haven't always been like this," Shingo pointed out looking at his sister.
"If she didn't have the rest of the Senshi to save her butt all the time, she wouldn't be here. Trust me we had a lot of hard times, and Usagi wasn't always the best at completing a mission. Even though, she always came through for us in the end tears and all," Rei said from her spot on the floor. Usagi just glared at Rei ready to start something, but Makoto, Minako, and Ami all sensed it coming.
"Rei knock it off, Usagi is a great leader," Makoto said to the fire senshi.
"Usagi, you still have some skeptic people over there, so calm down and address the matter," Ami said to Usagi calming her down. Minako just looked at Ami and Usagi and nodded in agreement. Shinozaki and Yuuichirou were looking back and forth between Makoto and Usagi, and Rei and Usagi, still in shock by all the information that was just dished out to them.
Usagi then turned her attention back to Shingo who had his arms across his chest looking un-amused. "You want proof don't you?" Usagi asked letting out a sigh. Shingo just looked back and nodded his head. "Fine close all the drapes. I don't wasn't anyone looking in," Usagi ordered. Shingo was on his feet and was racing to close all the drapes. Haruka and Makoto also followed making sure nobody could see in. When everything was done, Shingo and the two girls sat back down. Shingo gave Usagi his total attention as he waited for her to prove her claim.
With one last sigh, Usagi took out her transformation brooch, and called out her henshin phrase. "Moon Eternal Power, Make Up!" Shingo, Ikuko, Kenji, and the two guys watched in amazement as Usagi transformed into the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. In the spot where Usagi once occupied, Eternal Sailor Moon now stood.
Luna and Artemis who were asleep upstairs came bolting down the stairs at the feeling of Usagi's transformation. Luna who was about to open her mouth to yell at Usagi saw the startled looks on the faces of her family and two friends and decided to keep quiet. Artemis also seeing this padded his way over to Minako and sat on her lap.
"Oh my goodness," Ikuko whispered in shock, her left hand clutching her heart. Kenji was still in shock, but he just sat there with his mouth agape. Shinozaki kept rubbing his eyes and looking at Sailor Moon. Yuuichirou looked at Sailor Moon, then at Rei, before passing out cold. Sailor Moon touched her brooch and returned back to normal. Shinozaki was nudging Yuuichirou trying to wake him up. It took one good slap to the face by Shinozaki before Yuuichirou woke up.
"What the hell did you do that for?"
"You passed out dummy," Rei pointed out from her spot on the floor.
"What did I pass out from?"
"You honestly don't know?" Shinozaki asked unable to believe what Yuuichirou was saying.
"No, but I had this really strange dream that Usagi told us she was Sailor Moon, then I get whacked in the face." The sound of someone's hand hitting their forehead was heard. Yuuichirou looked to see Rei with her hand on her forehead. Yuuichirou was about to say something, but Shingo beat him to the punch.
"That was so cool! So that must mean that the rest of you girls are Sailor Senshi?" Shingo finished pointing to the girls. Shinozaki's and Yuuichirou's head snapped at an unnaturally fast pace to the girls after Shingo's comment. Both of them were focused on his own girlfriend, then Usagi spoke.
"Rei-chan is Mars. Mako-chan is Jupiter. Ami-chan is Mercury. Minako-chan is Venus. Haruka-san is Uranus. Michiru-san is Neptune. Setsuna-san is Pluto, and Hotaru-chan is Saturn." Noticing Luna and Artemis were now in the room, that they came in together, a smug smile formed on her face. "So nice of you two to join us, this evening just wouldn't be complete without you two."
"Who are you talking to dear?" Ikuko asked looking at her daughter.
"Luna and Artemis," Usagi replied as if there was nothing abnormal about it.
"They are cats dear, they can't understand what you are saying."
"You're right mom, I guess they can't understand what I am saying." Meanwhile Yuuichirou was still in shock over the newest discovery.
"R-Rei-chan? So I guess this explains why you always sneaked out of the temple late at night all those times," Yuuichirou stammered, his eyes still locked on her. Rei looked back and blushed.
"You knew about those times?" She asked, her voice just above a whisper.
"Well there were some nights where I couldn't sleep so I would go outside to get some fresh air. That's when I would see you sneak out of your chambers saying something into some sort of phone that you're on your way. I always thought you were meeting your boyfriend," he finished hanging his head in shame.
"Oh Yuu-chan, I can see how you would think that. Now you know that wasn't the case, I was going out there to help save this world," Rei softly replied moving closer to Yuuichirou. She cupped her hand under his chin and lifted his face to meet hers. A smile lit up Rei's face when she looked into his eyes. Seeing the smile on Rei's face, Yuuichirou also smiled, his eyes sparkling as he looked back at her. "You have very pretty eyes, had you not had your hair covering them for all those years, I might have noticed them sooner. I hope that the fact that you know who I am doesn't change anything between us."
"I don't think you'd let it change anything, you'd have that broom of yours chasing after me so fast, I wouldn't know what hit me," Yuuichirou said with a laugh, as Rei playfully slapped him on the arm. She then pulled him into a hug and whispered in his ear, "you better believe it."
During the same time Yuuichirou and Rei were talking, Shinozaki was with Makoto.
"Are you upset with this information you just found out?" Makoto asked looking away.
"No, I'm not upset. I just wish it was you who could have told me. We've been friends for years, and yet you kept this big secret from me."
"I didn't find out about this until after I left. Then that one day you visited me, and you got hurt, I wanted to tell you then, but I never had the chance. Then we lost touch for however many years it was, and I wasn't about to pick up the phone and say, 'hey guess what, I'm Sailor Jupiter.' When you did show up again, I was just so happy that you were back and that feelings between us ran deeper than friendship, that I forgot all about it. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you, and I will understand if you don't want to see me anymore," Makoto said as a tear ran down her face. She kept her head down looking at her clenched fists and was startled when she felt two hands on her face.
Shinozaki lifted Makoto's face to meet his and gazed lovingly into Makoto's eyes. With his thumb, he wiped away the stray tear and stoked the side of her face where the tear fell. "Mako-chan, I have always been here for you to keep you out of trouble. Nothing that you say or do is going to change my feelings for you. It's just that all of this has come to a huge surprise to me, but I am still going to love you the same as I always have. Knowing now what I know isn't going to make me love you any less, only more. I'm sorry Mako-chan, but you're stuck with me," Shinozaki said with a chuckle. Makoto half laughed, half let out the breath she was holding as she sniffled and wiped her eyes. She threw herself into Shinozaki's arms for a warm loving hug.
"How come you three aren't shocked by all of this?" Kenji asked the Three Lights. The two embracing couples looked up and separated. Rei and Makoto prepared themselves for the other shocker of the evening.
"Papa Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten are Sailor Star Fighter, Star Maker, and Star Healer," Usagi answered the question.
"Wait a second though, I thought that all the senshi were female. By the looks of it, you look male to me," a confused Shingo said scratching his head. Usagi had a panicked look on her face as she looked to the three guys unsure how to handle this question.
"You see, The Three Lights…"
"…Are not from this planet, or this solar system for that matter," Taiki stepped in cutting Usagi off. Taiki looked at Usagi and smiled. Usagi looked back and was relived that she wouldn't have to explain that story.
"What do you mean you aren't from this solar system? You mean to tell me that there is other life out there?" Kenji asked in wonder.
"I and my two brothers are proof of it. To answer your question Shingo, we at one point in our life were female, and in our senshi form still are female. Back on our home planet, we were always in our female form, but when the Sailor Wars broke out our planet was left in ruins. Our princess then fled to save herself from becoming a collection to Galaxia. Blindly we went on a search for her and after many light years of travel we came to Earth. Having no luck finding her as three women, we changed our forms into the ones you see now and formed our band in hopes that our message would reach her. We were successful in finding her, but she soon after became a collection of Galaxia, something she fought so hard to prevent.
"Stubborn as we may have been back then, we teamed up with these lovely ladies here, only then we didn't know who they really were. We stood by and helped Sailor Moon as she watched all of her friends die by the hand of Galaxia making sure she would go on. It was when Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus placed their hope on us with their dying breath did we see the true purpose of fighting together. Sailor Moon won against Galaxia and everyone was returned including our princess. We left that night, without saying good-bye, or thank you. It took some time, but our planet was restored, and we were allowed to do whatever we wished. We all wanted to come back to Earth, Seiya the most because well he had a thing for the Moon Princess. So we came back a little more than two years ago.
"We are forever male, we only change into female form when we transform. Since peace has finally settled, we won't need to transform," Taiki finished looking at the looks on the faces of the five listeners who weren't senshi.
"What was the whole confrontation with Mamoru earlier about then?" Ikuko asked, remembering the event that took place earlier.
"Mamoru is the reincarnated Prince Endymion from the story I told you. He and I were supposed to marry and become King and Queen in the future. He could only become King if he married me, because I am the heir to the thrown of this solar system. That is one of the reasons he came back fighting to win me back. He knew it was a loss cause, but still tried to fight it. He will still be a prince, but he won't have any ruling. I truly believe that he was only with me to gain power, and nothing more. I just wish I figured that out before I fell so hard for him."
"Usagi, there is no point beating yourself up over this, what's done is done. Leave it alone and move on," Rei said comforting her friend.
"I know that, but it would have saved us a lot of trouble. You of all people should agree with me on that!"
"Oh I agree totally. If you weren't so gaga for Tuxedo Kamen, we would have ended each battle faster," Rei joked.
"Just when I think I am getting somewhere with you, you open that big mouth of yours ruining it all."
"Will you two knock off the bickering. It's bad enough that we had to listen to much worse back then, but please, grow up," Ami said breaking the two up for the second time this night.
"Leave it to Ami-chan to separate the two children," Minako joked.
"This is too much. Way too much. There are warriors bickering and aliens in my living room. I'm sure that the next thing you are going to tell us, is that those two cats do understand what is going on." Kenji said rubbing his temples.
"As a matter of fact Tsukino-san, we can understand everything that you say," Luna said from her perch on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi looked at her parents with a lopsided grin on her face.
"Usagi that wasn't funny. It's not nice to throw your voice making it sounding like Luna here spoke to us," Ikuko scolded.
"Luna isn't the only cat in here that can talk you know. I exist too you know," Artemis said from his cozy spot in Minako's lap.
"Who said that?" Shingo asked looking at the guys.
"I did. Down here, the white cat sitting in Minako's lap." Shingo looked down and saw indeed that Artemis was talking.
"A talking cat, that is so awesome. So does that mean that Luna was really talking?" Shingo asked looking at Artemis, then Luna. Usagi had to hold onto Luna so she didn't pass out on her shoulder.
"Yes I can speak, quite well in fact," Luna responded regaining her composure. Kenji, Ikuko, and Yuuichirou were white as sheets. Shinozaki was sticking his fingers in his ears making sure that he wasn't hearing things. That's when Yuuichirou started to freak out.
"Rei, Rei, get an ofuda, that cat is possessed. Get rid of the demon inside of that poor kitty cat. In fact get rid of both demons," Yuuichirou said running toward Luna and scooping her in his arms. "It will be okay little kitty. Rei is going to make you all better, and when she is finished with you, she will make your friend all better too." Yuuichirou watched as Luna's eyes shrank to two slits glaring back up at him.
"Yuuichirou if you do not put me down, you will get another slap across the face," Luna ordered. Doing as he was told Yuuichirou placed her on the floor. "For your information, I am not possessed, I am Usagi's guardian. I was also the Royal advisor back in the Moon Kingdom."
"You weren't the only Royal Advisor you know, I too aided you in that department," Artemis argued.
"Yes, I know, but I carried more responsibilities than you did you lazy fur ball," Luna shot back.
"You weren't calling me a lazy fur ball when we were in Usagi's room," Artemis countered stopping Luna in her tracks. She turned a bright crimson, and Minako and Usagi took this as their cue.
"In a hurry are you to bring Diana into this world?" Minako asked with a sly grin on her face.
"And in my room nonetheless, but then I knew that there was something up between you two."
"Great so on top of there being warriors bickering, and visitors from another galaxy, we have talking cats, is there anything else you care to tell us?" Kenji asked looking at the group of people. Just then a knock was heard on the front door. Kenji looked up as a sign that there was going to me more, but instead hid his face in his hands.
Confused, Usagi looked at everyone in the room, then at the door, that began to knock again. Cautiously walking to the front door, Usagi opened the door to be greeted by a pair of cinnamon eyes, and bright pink hair that had been years since she last saw them.
"C-Chibiusa-chan!?"
"Hello Usagi-mama," Chibiusa said giving Usagi a hug. Usagi numbly wrapped her arms around Chibiusa confused as to why she was here.
"Chibiusa-chan why don't you come in, everybody else is here," Usagi said noticing that they were still standing in the doorway with the door open.
"Okay!" Chibiusa said and walked inside. Usagi closed the door and went into the living room with Chibiusa following close behind.
"Look who I found on the front doorstep," Usagi said moving aside so Chibiusa could walk in. The senshi, except Setsuna and the Three Lights gasped as they saw the little girl standing in the room with them. Chibiusa just smiled looking at her family.
"Hello, Ikuko-mama, Kenji-papa, Shingo, Yuuichirou, and you whom I haven't met before," Chibiusa said to Shinozaki. She knew who he was, but he didn't know that.
"My name is Shinozaki, I am a good friend of Makoto."
"It's nice to meet you Shinozaki," Chibiusa said. Out of the corner of her eye she saw three other new but familiar faces. Her eyes welled up with tears when her gaze fell upon one. She took off at breakneck speed with arms wide open and jumped into the lap of Seiya. Throwing her arms around his neck she gave Seiya a tight hug.
"Oh daddy, I've missed you so much!"
