The Awakening

Chapter 1

The Arrival

Author's Notes: Well, well, well. . . . Looks like this chapter got out a whole lot earlier then I expected. Since it did, we have a small change in plans. Voting polls probably will not close after chapter 2 so keep voting! Second of all, please tell me what you think about my questions....er.... ideas in the updated note for this story. By the way, Hotaru/Heero is in the lead! Thanks and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own SM or GW. I do not know who they belong to and if I did it would probably be something I wouldn't want to get into. I do own Satoru, Ariako, and Kayomi, so if you are going to use them please notify me at my e-mail address! Thank you and have a nice day!

"The five are..." Queen Serenity paused and looked around the area. Many pairs of eyes were watching her intently; everyone was curious, excited, or emotionless but all wanted to know info.
So, Queen Serenity sighed and began again, "The five are Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. These princesses each have a hidden power to help serve and protect the royal family of the White Moon Kingdom. You five will meet back here in 15 minutes, so you can prepare clothes and other things. All questions shall be answered later."
With the finishing of her announcement an oval portal appeared beside Sailor Moon and everyone exited; that is everyone except Sailor Saturn, Sailor Pluto, and Queen Serenity.
"Hotaru, are you okay with this journey you will be taking?" Sailor Pluto asked, concerned about Hotaru's safety.
"I'll be just fine as long as I'm with the Inners. But, are you, Michiru-mama, and Haruka-papa okay with me leaving for another dimension that is currently in a war?" Hotaru answered wondering what Authoshe will have to do once at this new dimension.
"We are okay with it if you are," Pluto replied not giving a direct answer. "Do you have any questions that Queen Serenity and I could answer?" the ancient Guardian of Time asked.
"I do. First, these five guys are princes from the Silver Millenium, right?" was the first question Hotaru asked.
"Yes, they are princes from the Silver Millenium. They are from different kingdoms on the planets. Believed to be fathered by gods, they are different and yet the same. We must rescue these princes and use their power to help the five chosen to grow stronger. If we don't succeed in becoming allies with them, a greater force will come to take their power and use it for evil. If that does happen, the universe will be in the hands of chaos and disaster. Nothing would be able to stop it!" Queen Serenity explained calmly but became stern as she exclaimed her last statement.
"How do we get their power and use it to our own advantage then?" Hotaru asked her eyes showing emptiness. (AN: I'm tryin' my best here! I told ya before not to expect a lot of creativity!)
"The princes themselves are rulers of dark kingdoms and in the past used to be your kingdom's enemy. Once they regain their memory they will try to destroy you and the Inners! They were taught to do that, even the most peaceful one was taught to eliminate as many of the kingdoms as he could. Although one of them hated destroying he couldn't help himself," Queen Serenity told Sailor Saturn.
"Who are these five important princes?" Saturn asked after a moment of thought.
'This is so confusing! At first it sounded like we had to marry these princes, now it sounds like we have to kill these princes! And they're dangerous too! Why me? By the Gates of Death, why does this have to happen to me? Isn't it enough that I am probably rejected by everyone? No, now we have to go and deal with some princes that might try to destroy us if they regain their memory back! Gods, this is so confusing!' Hotaru thought, totally frustrated by this whole prince business.
"The first one is from the Andromeda Kingdom, his name is Heero Yuy. The second prince is from Saturn himself but he is from DeathShade Kingdom, his name is Duo Maxwell. The third prince is Trowa Barton from the Silent Lightning Kingdom. The fourth prince is Quatre Raberba Winner from the Sol Kingdom. The fifth prince is from the Dragon Claw Kingdom; his name is Wufei Chang. Prince Yuy has a sister named Satoru Yuy; Prince Winner also has a sister named Ariako Winner; Prince Wufei has a sister, as well, named Kayomi Chang. We are not yet sure if they were reincarnated or not..." Pluto said with a frown. "The princes and princesses can be trouble for us, Hotaru-chan," she said.
"Satoru... Ariako... Kayomi... DeathStar... Sun... DragonMist... Saturn..." Hotaru murmured slowly, eyes going blank.
"What did you say?" Sailor Pluto asked while Queen Serenity had a small frown.
"I just... I don't know..." Hotaru said blinking a few times.

(Makoto's Apartment)
"Gee! We still have 10 more minutes until we have to go back to the Time Gates!" Makoto said excitedly. She had just finished packing her stuff, clothes, shoes, a few items, her laptop, etc.
'I wonder if everyone else is done...' she thought and sighed. 'Mina is probably still trying to tell her manager that she won't be around for a while. That guy is such a head strong jerk!' she thought then grabbed her henshin pen and ran out of her door.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
(Minako's House)
Mina heard the doorbell ring and shouted, "Hold on! I'm coming!" She frowned at the person on the other line of the phone, which was her manager, and said angrily, "Now, I told you that I was leaving and that's final! God are you deaf?!" She slammed the phone down violently and ran to the door.
She fixed her hair a bit and then opened the door with a bright smile. Once she saw who the person was she immediately hugged the person.... tightly. "Mako-chan!" she exclaimed brightly.
Makoto gasped for air and tried to tell Mina that she was out of air. Ony one word escaped her lips, "Air!" Mina looked at her friends suddenly blue face and said, "Blue just doesn't match your eyes Mako-chan!" She let go of her friend and smiled sweetly, while her tall friend was gasping for air.
Once the senshi of lightning(AN: Is that right? It's been a LONG time since I've watch Sailor Moon!) recovered from her sudden lack of air, she asked the goddess of love, "Have you finished putting your clothes in your subspace pocket?"
"Nope! That manager of mine's is so.... oooooo!!" Mina shouted in anger. In truth, she actually hated the guy's guts but he was a good manager, not to mention a bit stuck-up, when it came to catching the public's ears and eyes.
"Well, let me help you then!" Makoto said and they went into the room, the very large room. "Woah! Mina!" Mako said in awe as she looked at the nicely decorated room.
"It's just one advantage of being a popular singer. I sorta miss my old room in my mom's house, though," Mina replied absentmindedly. (AN: sp?)
"Oh, okay. Let's get started then!" Makoto shouted and pulled up her sleeves. "Now, Mina, take those, that, this. Don't forget those over there! And that one. No, not that one, the other one!" Makoto said, standing there with her hand on her hip, while her other hand pointed at some items.
Mina raced across her room to get various items, mostly clothing, as her brunette haired friend pointed to them. The last thing she put into her subspace pocket was her own personal laptop. Once, she put that away she flopped onto her bed and looked at the ceiling.
Makoto sat down beside her tired out friend and all was silent. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and both jumped up. "I'll get it!" they shouted in unison, then the two friends ran to the door.
Makoto got to it first since she was into the racing and fitness stuff, which left Mina huffing and puffing again. She quickly recovered from the run and stood up to watch Mako open the door.
"Ami! Rei! Hey guys!" Mako shouted and let the two girls into the house. "I'm glad we didn't have to go to your homes! I'm all tired out!" Mina said with a smile. "Not to exhausted to not go on the trip to another dimension I hope," Rei said with a grin. "Are ya kidding?! I'm not that tired! I wouldn't miss this trip for the world!" Mina exclaimed. Everyone laughed and they headed to the living room.
They chatted excitedly for a few minutes, mostly about the trip and what will happen to them there, when a brightly colored portal opens beside Mina. Sailor Pluto stepped through holding her Time Staff and solemnly stated two words, "It's time." The four Inners got up and followed the Time Guardian through the portal.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Awaiting the four Inners at the Time Gates were Queen Serenity and Sailor Saturn. "Are you ready to leave?" Sailor Saturn asked them. "As ready as we'll ever be!" Mina answered for the group. "Wait. What about those princes, I mean, who are they? How are we supposed to know who we're looking for?" Ami asked the three quiet persons. "I know the information, Ami. And, if I can't answer all of your questions, I know a way to contact Sailor Pluto," Saturn replied and detransformed.
She wore the school outfit worn by Michiru and she frowned. She concentrated for a moment and changed into her usual black outfit. (AN: I don't feel like going into details.) She gave her guardian and friend a big hug, "Goodbye... Setsuna-mama."
The Guardian of Time hugged the pale girl that she watched over ever since she was a child, she tried hard not to cry but tears escaped the garnet eyes, and ran down her cheek. One landed on Hotaru's head, which led her to raise her head, and look at her guardian. She backed away from Pluto slowly as she saw a portal open up.
The ancient woman wiped her tears away and said with a saddened voice, "Please stay safe and come home soon." "Watch over each other and do not let small things ruin your friendship. Stay good and do not fear," Queen Serenity said and disappeared. The five chosen scouts nodded and the Inners went in first. Hotaru walked into the portal last, but not before she looked at Pluto and said, "Do not shed tears."
Hotaru then walked through the portal and the large, oval-shaped time portal disappeared after a small dark purple thing jumped through. Sailor Pluto noticed this and began to wonder about what it was. Since she felt no negative energy coming from it she decided to check up on it later.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
(Hotaru's POV)
The five of us landed gracefully on our feet in the middle of, what looked like, the woods. "Where are we?" Rei asked looking around curiously. I opened my mouth to tell her but a shout came from somewhere around us. I glanced around and saw the movement of bushes not to far from us.
"We have to get out of here," I whispered to them and they nodded. We jumped into the branches of a few trees. Then, quietly we hopped from branch to branch across the trees, until we came to the end of the woods. We jumped down from the trees we were in and landed on the ground softly.
"Now what?" Mina asked softly. "We teleport to our new home," I answered and they looked at me with confused expressions.
"Hold my hand and just clear your minds," I ordered them and they did as followed. I closed my eyes and used my energy to teleport us to our home.
Once we opened our eyes, we were standing in front of a huge mansion. "Is that a big house or what?" Mina said in awe while I approached the door. "Actually, Mina, it's a mansion," Ami stated.
As I opened the door, I turned around and looked at them, "Are you guys just going to stand there gawking?" They looked at me and quickly walked inside the mansion. Rei closed the door and I walked up the stairs. "Follow me everyone. We have to get ourselves organized before we sleep," I told them.
They nodded and followed me without question; I showed them to their rooms and when I walked into my room, I gasped. "Set-mama, you really tried to make us feel at home," I said to myself. My room had dark purple walls, decorating the walls were small lamps that glowed dimly, giving the room an eerie type of air. The queen sized bed was purple and had light purple drapes around the bed. The ceiling was a dark purple and black sky with tiny white specks, that were stars, and the planet of Saturn in the middle. I saw a glass door that led to a balcony that overlooked a lake and some woods.
'This is my new home... Well, I better check on the others.' I thought to myself. I was about to leave the room, when I heard a sound. It sounded a lot like 'meow'. I looked around the room and when I checked under the bed, there in front of me was a small black looking cat. It came out and looked at me with purple eyes and said, "Hello mistress."
