Chapter 4
Akutenshi, Koneko, Yukai, and Kan walked down the street quietly. It was the next day and Kan and Yukai felt a lot better. "So what exactly happened last night?" asked Yukai as they continued to walk.
Akutenshi and Koneko looked at each other. "Well..." Koneko started. Akutenshi knew what she was going to say and placed her hand over her mouth tightly.
"We're not exactly sure..." Akutenshi said. The two looked at her skeptically.
"Then why are you holding Koneko's mouth shut?" asked Kan. Akutenshi smiled nervously.
"You know Koneko... Telling all those outlandish stories and all!"
"I never recall Koneko doing that..." Yukai said. Koneko somehow pried off Akutenshi's hand.
"YOU WERE KNIGHTS!" she shouted. Akutenshi clasped her hand once again on Koneko's mouth, stronger this time.
"What?" asked Kan.
"I though we agreed not to tell them yet!" Akutenshi scolded.
"Tell us what?" asked Yukai. Koneko got her mouth free once again.
"They have a right to know this! It involves them!" Koneko protested.
"Hello!" Kan said. Akutenshi and Koneko turned to them. Koneko glanced at Akutenshi.
"Fine..." she said angrily. Koneko smiled.
"It all started in our past lives..." Koneko started as they sat down on a bench in a nearby park. "We were princesses," Yukai gave a short, held in laugh, but let Koneko continue. "And you two were knights of our kingdoms..."
~ One Hour Later ~
Kan blinked a couple times, not believing what he had just heard. "You and your group are the Sailor Senshi X..." he started.
"And your twins are the Sailor Senshi..." Yukai added. Akutenshi and Koneko nodded. "And you expect us to believe this?!"
"It may be hard to believe, but it's true... All of it..." Akutenshi said calmly.
"And we're knights..." Kan said, still blinking.
"Yeah..."
"Oh..."
"Well say something!" cried Koneko "I can't stand the silence!"
"What are we supposed to say to that?" asked Kan
"I don't know." said Koneko "Just say something."
"Fine," said Yukai "What exactly do we do?"
"I guess," said Akutenshi slowly "That you are supposed to help us fight once you figure out how to use your powers."
"So we are, kind of, your partners or something like that?" asked Kan.
"I guess so." said Koneko. Then her eyes grew wide. She looked at Akutenshi "Did we tell them...." She whispered the rest in Akutenshi's ear. Akutenshi's eyes also grew wide.
"NO!" she cried "And I don't think we should. They would kill us!"
"Why?" asked Koneko.
"Because what if they don't want to, well, you know." replied Akutenshi.
"They have to. It's there destiny as well as ours." replied Koneko softly.
Kan and Yukai looked at Akutenshi, then Koneko, then each other.
"What is going on?" asked Kan suspiciously.
"If you don't tell us we'll tickle it out of you!" cried Yukai. Koneko's eyes grew wide.
"You wouldn't!" she cried.
"Wanna bet?" asked Yukai as he started to tickle her. Kan did the same to Akutenshi.
"Stop! We'll tell you!" cried Akutenshi. Pushing her hair out of her face. The guys stopped tickling.
"Well?" they asked in unison. Koneko glanced at Akutenshi.
"How do we put this madly?" asked Koneko
"Spit it out or we'll start tickling again!" cried Kan getting ready.
"But we don't know how to say it!" cried Akutenshi. Yukai and Kan started tickling again.
"OK!" cried Akutenshi as she was being tickled. "WE HAVE TO MARRY YOU GUYS!"
The guys stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
"And if we don't want to?" Kan asked.
"HEY!" cried Akutenshi.
"I was joking!" cried Kan taking a step backward.
The guys sat back down on the bench. They were being quiet... too quiet. Koneko noticed the uneasiness and looked at her watch.
"It's getting late, we better go. Akutenshi, do you want to stay the night at my house?"
"As long as Makoto can too."
"I don't think Rei will mind too much." replied Koneko. She looked at the guys. "Bye Yukai. I'll see you tomorrow and give you time to get used to this.

"You did what?!" yelled Mutashi
"Well, we didn't mean too." replied Akutenshi "But Koneko just had to open her big mouth!"
"I do not have a big mouth!" replied Koneko calmly. "They had a right to know, it involved them!"
"Why can't you ever keep your big mouth shut? If you would have then we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with!" Mutashi screamed to Koneko. Koneko just stood there, was Mutashi mad at her?
"Sissy mad at me?" asked Koneko in a small voice.
"Yes!" cried Mutashi "Sissy is very mad at you!" Koneko took one last look around the room and ran out.
"Why'd you go and do that?" said Akutenshi to Mutashi angrily.
"She told!"
"So what?!" asked Akutenshi "She can't help it that she always has to tell people everything. And they would have found out sooner or later. And besides, wouldn't you have done the same thing with Anya if he didn't know our little secret?!" Mutashi grew quiet.

"Koneko?" asked Rei as she knocked on the door to Koneko's room.
"What?" yelled Koneko.
"Mom wants you," replied Rei.
"Why?"
"She wants to know when was the last time you ate."
"Who cares! Why is she always nagging at me to eat?! I'm not hungry so it is not physically possible for me to eat."
"Well, can you just eat something? So we don't have to listen to her?"
"NO! I AM NOT HUNGRY SO GO AWAY!" Rei took a step back. Then made an angry cat noise and walked away.
"She is so stubborn..." Rei said to herself. She lifted her head as she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and opened it to see Akutenshi.
"Oh hi Akutenshi..." she said calmly.
"Hey Rei... Is Koneko home?" Akutenshi asked with a somewhat worried expression. Rei made an annoyed face.
"Yeah... She's in her room... And watch out..." Rei opened the door to let Akutenshi in, then walked away. Akutenshi stepped in and closed the door behind her. In the other room she saw Rei seat herself in front of the fire.
Akutenshi sighed and walked up to Koneko's door, knocking.
"WHAT REI?!" Koneko screamed. Akutenshi jumped back. Quickly getting over the sudden shriek, Akutenshi spoke calmly.
"Koneko... As much as we act like sisters... We are not... And I don't have black hair either... Nor did my sister ta-" Akutenshi was cut off as Koneko opened the door quickly and pulled Akutenshi in, slamming the door behind her.
"Akutenshi! Today is not the day to be kidding around!" Koneko yelled. "I told you not to tell her!" she added in a whisper. Akutenshi smiled from her seat on the ground where she had fallen.
"I had to get in somehow..." Koneko looked at her angrily.
"Well telling Rei about the priestess book isn't the greatest of ideas!" Koneko whispered harshly.
"I wasn't going to tell her... Cause if I told her that... She'd ask what we found... And one thing would lead to another... And well... You know..." Koneko sighed.
"Yeah... I know..." She walked over to her bed and plopped down. Akutenshi shifted herself so she was facing Koneko. "So what are you doing here anyway?"
"For one... I was wondering if the sleep-cover's still on..." Akutenshi started. Koneko gave a confused look. Akutenshi gave her a sarcastic look back. "I was kidding... I'm on a mission!" she said as she smiled.
"And what would that be?" Koneko asked. Akutenshi smile grew wider.
"The group picked me, God only knows why... To talk to you and help get you and Mutashi back together!"
"What?! Why?!"
"Because frankly... You two are starting to act like a pair of twins on the other side... And well... We don't need another Usagi and Rei fighting all the time!" Koneko glared at her.
"Is that the only reason?" she asked.
"No... Because deep inside... I know that you two are still bestest best friends!" Akutenshi gave one of her warm smiles without smiling, one of the things that only Akutenshi could of pulled off. Koneko glared at her again, eyes narrowing.
"I'm not going..." she replied. Akutenshi's warm look faded.
"WHAT?! WHY NOT?!" she asked outraged.
"Because she's the one who's mad at me... And I don't want to be yelled at anymore!" Akutenshi sank in her seat. But as she thought, her head popped up.
"If you don't go... I'll start calling you 'Stubborn Rei' again..." she said with an evil smile. Koneko's eyes narrowed as she got up and walked to her closet. She opened it and took something out and threw it into Akutenshi's lap.
"An umbrella?" Akutenshi asked confused. "What's this for?" Koneko pulled out another umbrella and looked at Akutenshi. Suddenly, loud thunder roared as the lights flickered. Outside, you could hear the starting of rain falling. Akutenshi looked from the window, that had raindrops on it, to Koneko with a confused look.
Koneko smiled. "Runs in the family..."
Akutenshi, Koneko, Yukai, and Kan walked down the street quietly. It was the next day and Kan and Yukai felt a lot better. "So what exactly happened last night?" asked Yukai as they continued to walk.
Akutenshi and Koneko looked at each other. "Well..." Koneko started. Akutenshi knew what she was going to say and placed her hand over her mouth tightly.
