Once again, I do not own Sailor Moon or anything to do with the show or
manga. Why must you constantly remind me of this fact?

:::Chapter I:::
Space was cold, just as they had remembered it. It hadn't been too long ago that they were traveling endlessly through out space searching for her. Their journey had brought them to Earth where they met the people that helped to bring back their hopes and dreams. Now they were once again heading back to Earth, this time they weren't searching for something or some one. No, this was going to be a more permanent visit.
Kimonku was rebuilt to all of the glory that it had possessed prior to Galaxia's attack. If anything you could probably say that it was even better. Sometimes its better to start with a fresh canvas then to try to fix a disaster. Kakyuu had taken her rightful seat as the head of Kimonku. The Imperial crown was ruling just as it had before. This time though the people had a different idea.
Rebels sought to take down the monarchy and over throw those in power. They did not think it was right to be under such a rule. The revolution began leaving many slaughters in its wake. Although the rebels were originally only after Kakyuu to make an example of her they were now out for blood. A dictatorship, that's what they called Kakyuu's rule. It was far from that though. Kakyuu was a kind ruler who always listened to her people.
When Kakyuu was finally captured the Starlights did everything they could to try and rescue her. Their efforts paid off as they retrieved their princess and stayed in the shadows. The people were rallied up against them now and their seemed to be no hope of restoring what was. Kakyuu, being a princess, did not want to hide in the shadows any longer and decided to face her people. She decided that it would be best if the people, as a majority, decided on how Kinkomu would be ruled.
The army of rebels spread lies throughout the kingdom which in turn reached to farther areas of the planet. Each lie becoming more vicious with the next person who told it. Soon the people of Kinkomu hated Kakyuu and wanted nothing more to do with her. It was now that the voting was to take place.
The Starlights and Kakyuu returned to the palace, where they were allowed to stay until a decision was reached. The lights were in a panic while Kakyuu remained calm. They couldn't fight an entire planet of people, even the rebels were too much for them although you would never hear Fighter admit it. A decision was reached. By an over whelming majority the people of Kinkomu over threw the Imperial rule.
For fear that Kakyuu would try to retaliate with what little of the people she still had on her side, the rebels chased her off of the planet telling her never to return and that her people had spoken and didn't want her any more.
Kinkomu was their home and now they were being forced to abandon it. They couldn't very well live there, they would not hide in the shadows for the rest of their existence. They fled with hopes that their friends from the blue planet would take them in.
Enveloped in the darkness, her body began to shiver. It was so quiet here that all she had left were her thoughts. They would arrive soon on that distant blue planet which now only held their memories. Earth. Would they be able to live free there without the persecution of the enemy?
Kakyuu tried to think on the well side of things and thought about being a normal human. She would be able to live her life for herself now, and not for an entire kingdom. Her Starlights would no longer need to devote their lives to her. They too would be able to live freely and of their own will. She knew this would take some convincing but in the end she knew that they would realize their freedom. Then the thought of Sailor Moon crossed her mind. Of course if Sailor Moon needed her assistance she would give one hundred percent, they owed everything to Sailor Moon and now they were handing their lives over to her once again. She was their only hope of being able to stay on this planet.
Maker was timing their trajectory and calculated that they would be arriving within the hour. She thought about the tragedy that had occurred on their planet. It was hard to erase the images of carnage that they had witness from her mind. She shook her head trying to release the thoughts from their prison in her mind. She began to think of all of the knowledge that she was leaving behind, and how there was so much about her planet that she did not know and now would never have the chance. Her appearance brightened though when she thought of all of the knowledge that awaited her here on Earth. She had just barely scratched the surface the last time they were here. And then a certain some one graced her thoughts as she realized that they really did have a chance to be happy here after all.
Healer was thinking about Kakyuu and how she was going to go on now. Sure she would have the Starlights to back her up in what ever she chose to do, but she had just lost her whole kingdom, her life. Healer looked over at Kakyuu while this thought entered her mind and noticed a smile on her lips. Maybe she would be alright. This eased the tension in her mind a bit as her thoughts drifted to what she was now going to miss about their planet. All of the beauty that they had left behind, all of their belongings and memories that they had acquired throughout their lives were all gone now. They were safe though and they were in a sense given a second chance at life. This was the only good that she could see coming from this situation. She was not however too thrilled about being surrounded by those incompetent Earth beings again though.
Fighter's thoughts echoed loud in her head. So many things were rushing in and out that it was hard to make sense of them all. One reoccurring thought however was her. Sailor Moon. Was she going to be able to do this? Would it hurt her more to live with the rebel's constant attacks or to see her Odango everyday loving some one else? She knew the answer but still went on with her journey towards Earth. She was going to become a permanent fixture on this planet whether or not she would be permanent fixture in her Odango's life. She thought nothing of what she left behind to come here, that would do her no good. Instead she looked ahead to what her future could hold. This time would be different, she could just feel it.
"Do you feel it?" Haruka looked down at her smaller petite companion. They were sitting on the hood of her car staring at the ocean just as they had been when the Starlights had left.
Michiru looked up to face her lover. "The sea is restless. It's a peaceful wave though." She turned to look at the sky. It would be dark soon and a couple of stars were making their presence known in the night sky.
"Shall we go and greet them?" Haruka said with no emotion in her voice. The hatred that she had for the Starlights had diminished when she knew that they were not out to hurt her princess, but why were they back? She could only think the worst, that way you never get hurt.
Michiru nodded her head as they climbed in to the car. "I'll contact the others." She began to activate her communicator but Haruka stopped her by putting her hand over its cover.
She shook her head in distaste. "No, call Setsuna and Mamoru, and no one else." Haruka proceeded to start her vehicle and Michiru understood.
Their entry was graceful as ever as they landed down on top of a building in down town. They were greeted with familiar faces. Familiar not friendly. Kakyuu stood in front of her Starlights, she felt that she needed to hide behind no one. Endymion walked forward to greet her in an honorable fashion. "Princess." He bowed before her. When he arose he began with his questioning. "To what do we owe this honor?"
The night had fallen and the light of the moon cascaded down upon them with its silver eminence. "We have come to seek your kindness." She started and then looked back at her Starlights to see their faces. Maker stood stone faced as usual, Healer looked questionably at Uranus and Neptune while Fighter's eyes were locked on Endymion. She turned back around to face the prince. She explained the entire situation, all of the embarrassing details came spilling forth again as the tale was retold.
There was no movement made by the outer senshi as they knew that this decision was completely in Endymion's hands. "You are more than welcome to stay here and call Earth your home." He smiled at the four in front of him. "Please, let me accommodate you for the time while you find a more suitable place to live." He kissed Kakyuu's hand.
Kakyuu thanked him and everyone detransformed. "Please call me Kakyuu." She was no longer in her princess gown and looked as though she was just any other girl. The Starlights detransformed into males. They were always males but only females when they transformed. Since there was never a need to detransform on Kinkomu they had stayed females for a while though this was their true form.
"We will inform Sailor Moon, Saturn and the inner senshi tomorrow, but for the time being you should get some rest. I'm sure you've had a long journey." Mamoru showed them the way to his apartment and the outers went their separate ways.
Mamoru didn't quite know what he was doing. He had to be nice to their guests even if he had his doubts. His Usako had been acting strange lately and he thought that this Starlight had something to do with it. He had noticed Fighter's stare when they were on the rooftop but made no mention of it. It hadn't been a threatening stare but one of sadness. He knew that she longed for what he had and he took some small comfort in that.
Kakyuu slept in Mamoru's bed while he and the lights slept in the living room. The lights couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. They were grateful to Mamoru for his kindness and there was no animosity between the groups, they have just never needed to depend on anyone else before, it was all so new to them.
