*** The Revival of Sailor Pluto ***

[*Note* this story tells how Sailor Pluto may have been revived after using her powers and having to destroy herself. It is based mainly after the Manga, not the anime, storyline.]

*A/N*I use some basic japanese words or phrases sometimes. If you don't recognize them check the prologue for their meanings. I won't use words i don't know. That would be kinda stupid don't ya think ^.^

*Another Note* Have ya figured out who the shadows are yet? ^.^

Chapter Two:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~*~ The Three Shadows ~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stepping from the shadows, the three figures went to the spot the queen had recently vacated.

"The sea is churning. I believe the queens indecision is the cause. Do you feel it?" the one who was shorter than the tallest, yet taller than the shortest, stated matter of factly, her long hair blowing as a sudden breeze passed by.

"Hai. The wind is acting up as well. Something will happen and soon." said her taller companion.

The shortest, and youngest, of the three gazed at the great expanse of sky overhead. "The queen will need us," she stated simply, "Pluto already does." Her soulder length black hair was also being played with by the wind. She leaned over the balcony's railing, keeping her eyes glued to the sky. "There will soon be much to do." she stood up straight once more to look at her companions. She held a long staff, it's blade reflecting the sky above, gleaming in the moonlight.

"Hai," the tallest replied, her short cropped hair also getting windblown, "we must go to the queen immediately."

"No!" the shortest replied curtly, "We mustn't. This is something the queen must do alone. She must regain confidence in her powers."

The girl's companions both gasped in suprise.

"What, exactly, is there left to do then?" asked the one with the longer hair.

"We must guard over Pluto, until the time comes for her awakening." the youngest replied.

"She will revive then?" the other girl asked, still unsure.

"That is up to Neo-Queen Serenity. She is the only one with the ability and power to heal Pluto."

"But we can't just sit around, waiting for something to happen!" the tallest exclaimed.

"That is exactly what we must do," the youngest informed her elder, who was looking more than a bit impatient. Returning her gaze to the sky she ssaid, "Look, the moon will be full tomorrow night. The queen must make her decision by then, or it is hopeless. Pluto will remain as she is now, forever."

"But we can't let that happen! She is our partner, and our friend! Pluto can't die!! Dammit! She just can't!" the tallest exclaimed in frustration, "What are we to do!"

Coming up beside her, the woman who had felt the sea in turmoil, placed a calm hand on the taller woman's shoulder. Pulling out a mirror which reflected the moon and starsabove, she said, "Simple. We must watch and wait. At this moment we can do nothing else."

"Hai, you're right," was the reply. Turning, the taller one's eyes moved down to the mirror, before returning to the gaze of the woman holding it. "But, still," she said lowering her eyes again, "we are Sailor Pluto's partners. We are the three remaining outer senshi. It doesn't feel right just standing around doing nothing. There must be something we can do, isn't there?" She glanced at the glass coffin inside the darkened chamber, before returning her gaze to her mirror wielding companion. But, in the other's eyes, instead of the answer she sought, she found the same indecisiveness and worry reflected from her own. But there was also a calmness in those eyes, which somehow strengthened her resolve. "Okay... We will wait for tomorrow night."

"You have made the right choice," the one with the mirror said gently.

"I only wish I could be so sure," was the only reply.
