Chapter 3: Draco's Light and Himeko's Hope
"Promise you will never surrender to those of darkness..."
The words echoed in Kirika's mind as she opened her eyes. She looked up and saw a dark sky, Himeko before her. She was shaking and as the rain began to fall, cold. Himeko's eyes were as dark as the sky as they peered down at her, and memories slowly came back to her of a once happy past, before the war Himeko never returned from. As the rain hit her face, Kirika felt refreshed and anew, and her eyes returned to their once sapphire blue color. Still, she remained on the ground and was surprised to see a smile light up Himeko's stern face, and a strong hand being handed to her. She hesitated, she had been lost from the light for so long, and she pondered whether to go back. She could hear Puart's screams: she had been one of the last of the darkness, and now only few remained. She slowly took Himeko's hand and was aided in standing.
Words were lost, as nobody could describe the inexplicable, which was what stood before them. Kirika's body suddenly shrunk and she looked to be around twelve; this was her original state, before she was handed over to Puart.
"Himeko..." Kirika was emotionless and in shock. "Why did you do all that just to save me?"
Himeko smiled. "What else could I have done? You were once my best friend and like a younger sister to me. Anybody who is dear to me deserves to be saved; especially since I knew you were somewhere you didn't want to be." She saw Kirika sulk and begin to turn away. She caught her by the shoulder. "What are you going to do now?"
Kirika brushed away Himeko's caring hand and looked up at her. "Back to where I should have gone when my true body died." She began to disintigrate. "I had died that day, when Puart came to me. He had made me his Black Tenshi against my will, but took me in nonetheless. I died then, and so thus I am not truly alive anymore. It was said that,should the light break his demon, the demon would perish." She started to cry. "I don't want to go yet; I missed so much of my childhood and I'll never know now what it's like to be an adult. But I trust you'll be a good person and I want you to continue loving people. You're so caring, you're like a rolemodel, like a person I'll never be able to be."
"Kirika!" Himeko's eyes began to tear, but she held them back and regained her tough look. "Is this what Puart meant when he told you he'd give you all happiness? That was a lie, Kirika!! You're leaving this Earth again!?"
Kirika smiled. "Don't worry, Himeko. If my soul is saved, then I'll be happy, wherever I go." She finally disappeared into dust, and the dust became like a hundred butterflies. They flew about in the sky as a horde and flew away, where they disappeared into the horizon. Kirika was gone once more, and this time, never to return. With a smile on her face, Himeko began to turn away, to leave to her home.
"Himeko... I'm... I'm sorry." Sailor Moon began, choking on her tears. "Is there anything we can do?"
HImeko detransformed into her previous, warrior attire. "No. There isn't anything you can do, and it doesn't matter. I'll be fine." She flipped her head around and the girls could tell she was tough and not going to worry anymore. "Now, I must further myself into my mission. I won't fight with you anymore, let alone bother you. I caused you much worry and I'm sorry."
"Himeko..! Please, don't go! We can fight together, just like you said, just like before!"
"No!" Himeko was angry. "I never fought with you in the past! I refused it, I fought on my own this way. I have a power in my normal state none of you could ever dream of! I hardly ever used my henshin, I didn't need it. My power exceeded that of any of you." She sighed. "But... if you ever need me again... just call out for me. The wind tells me that the new enemy is much more powerful than all of you together." Finally she walked away and the girls watched, wet and cold.
Haruka slammed her fists against the ground. "Shimatta!" She began to cry. "We did all we could to protect our princess and prince, the galaxy... now look where it's gotten us! We're too weak for our new enemy!" Michiru attempted to comfort her, but the others paid no attention. They were worried more about Himeko.

Dear Angel-Diary,
Wow... Himeko gave some performance today! I finally found out she has always been a girl. How embarassing! We all fell for it! -_-... man! I'll never find the right guy! Anyway... Himeko is really a warrior for her princess, but was also given a henshin to transform into this person called Sailor Draco... but we all just call her Draco. I feel sorry for her. Her best friend, Kirika, left the world again because she had been taken by Puart, some evil guy, and you know, darkness never survives in the shadow of light!! ^_^ .. Well, now we all know that Puart is our new enemy, but Himeko says he's stronger than any of the senshi and she won't even help us! But... she did say we could call out for her. That's neato. I hope I can meet a guy who was as cool as the old Himeko! ^_^ Just kidding!!!
Ai, Minako "Bishoujo" Aino!!! ^_^
The bells rang and students were dismissed to lunch. Mugen was unusually quiet that day, it was Monday, and students preferred sleeping at home. As they trudged along the halls and met up with their friends, Mugen's children began to eat lunch. Himeko walked slowly from her physics class, not noticing where she was going or who she passed. She heard Katsuki calling out for her down the hall, but she paid no attention. Suddenly, she bumped into someone and was knocked to the ground.
"Ugh..." Himeko groaned. "Watch where you're going, pal."
The person reached out it's hand to Himeko. "I'm sorry! I didn't notice where I was going, and I suppose you didn't either. Would you like me to help you up, or do you not like accepting help from others?" Himeko looked up and blushed; she saw a striking boy with blonde hair. She sat in shock and flushed as she noticed his handsome face. "Hello?" ... and blue eyes...
Himeko was embarassed. "Oh!" She took the boy's hand, who then stooped down to pick up her fallen books and lunch. "Thanks, a lot. Uh, can I ask you... what's your name?"
The boy laughed as he bowed. "I'm Kimano Tsukihano, third year class twelve. You don't need to introduce yourself, I know you. You're Himeko Tan'ou, the virtuoso violinist who was at the opera house the other week! Oh man, this is embarassing, but I go to every one of your concerts!"
"You...you do?" Himeko chuckled. "What a flatterer you are. But... you don't stalk me or anything do you?" She saw Kimano laugh and shake his head. "That's good. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around. I'm pretty hungry so I'm going to go off to lunch. Maybe I'll see you at another one of my upcoming concerts?" She held out two tickets. "Bring yourself and any one else you'd like. These are the best seats in the house, and the concert is Wednesday." She waved goodbye to Kimano and walked off. However, when she turned, she bumped into Katsuki.
Katsuki had a mischevious grin on her face. "Oh! So, Ms. I'm-so-depressed-Kirika-is-gone-Himeko just gave tickets to a complete stranger, and not me?" She laughed. "What, do you like that guy or something? Do you even know who he is?" She sighed as Himeko shook her head. "He's only the smartest man alive! My goodness! He won grand prize in the senior high science fair and while he's at it... is a pro cellist! And not to mention he's got the looks too! OHmigosh! He's so suave and handsome, which you obviously noticed, that every girl is after him! What else is that he mentions this girl he's absoutely ga-ga for, but we never see him with her! Isn't that amazing!?"
Himeko was embarassed. "Did I really look like I liked him? Well... I hardly know him. He's just an admirer of mine. I promise, Katsuki. Right now all I'm interested in is finding my prince and princess. Plus, he kind of looks familiar... perhaps he's the prince."
Katsuki giggled. "And wouldn't you like that? Then maybe you'd be his princess!"
Angry, Himeko chased Katsuki out of the school until they reached the patio grounds. There she noticed Kimano talking with his friends. She blushed as she walked past him, he hardly noticed her but she nearly melted as he blue eyes met hers. Embarassed she went back to running down Katsuki. Finally the two girls calmed down and sat under a tree. Himeko had made her lunch that day and shared some with the hungry Katsuki.
"Yesterday certainly was strange. It's also strange not having Kirika around in this life, like before. I kind of miss her, and the way that she was like a little sister." Himeko put her chopsticks down. "My mission is averting my eyes from my life and my true mission; to be successful. Do you think it was a bad idea to take the uniform from grandfather? I've always been a warrior, and I know it must have been set that I inherit the powers... but it's changed my life so drasitcally." Himeko adjusted her tie and looked down at the shield image on her sleeve.
Katsuki sighed. "Oh can we please forget this depressing topic. What's done is done, Himeko-san. I know that you don't appreciate your mission as much as the other senshi do, but you've got to accept it anyway. What happened in your past life shouldn't worry you now, and what happens in the future shouldn't affect you anymore. You inherited the powers because you are special, and you know it. You're so talented..."
"I suppose so..." Himeko sighed. "I guess I sincerely don't want things to change. I made a lot of friends on the way and I couldn't ask for a better family... And I've always got you, right Katsuki?" She smiled. Katsuki winked and the two returned to their lunch. Kimano admired Himeko from a safe distance, huddled around his friends.
That evening, as Himeko walked home, she was met up with the other senshi. Again she bore a stern look on her face and refused to speak with them. Usagi walked next to Himeko in silence, letting words drift away like sand on a beach. The other girls walked slowly behind, their eyes drifted towards Himeko. With all eyes upon her, Himeko stopped and sighed.
"What do you want." She looked coldly to them, just as she had when they thought she was a boy.
Usagi hesitated. "Himeko-san, uh... please, tell us why you ignore us. Even if we are different and our missions are seperate, can we not work together?"
Himeko was mad. "No. I already told you. I've got my mission, which requires none but me. The reason you never heard of my princess is because it is I who inherited the mission. I was once a warrior for the great princess, and that's what I am now. So honestly, what do you want. You know I'm going to refuse fighting with you, so why do you bother?" She began to walk away but Haruka took her by the shoulder, turned her around, and punched her face. Himeko did not flinch and did not look in any pain. Haruka was shocked. "What did I tell you..."
"Haruka-san, please!" Usagi cried, seperating the two. "Himeko-san, we're being honest. We truly want to fight along side you, nothing else! We all supported the moon kingdom in our pasts, even still. You would not be a senshi if you hadn't had something to do with us! There is a part of your mission that is ours. We will help you look for your princess!"
Himeko slapped Usagi. "Do you not listen to any of my words?!" Himeko was pulled back by Haruka. "I already told you, Princess Selenity, I do not support your kingdom! I support the kingdom of the stars, not yours! I search for my own princess! If you were the one I was looking for, I would have joined you, but you're not! I am your opposite, I am ruled by the brightest stars whereas you are by the planets. Do not mess with me, Selenity, for you have no right, no matter you are a princess or not!" Releasing herself from Haruka's choking grip, she ran off.
Usagi's eyes followed Himeko's tracks and she watched as the lonely girl ran off. All the senshi pondered to themselves, wondering if HImeko was a trustworthy ally, or even an ally at all. All of them believed Himeko would never change, but Usagi's faith in Himeko continued to grow, smothering the other senshi's doubts.

Onni-chan,
Hikaru, I wish you were here. My older brother, a missionary, where again? Ah yes, in India, correct? I hope you keep up the great job, I heard your certain group is making a huge difference this year. The house will never be the same again, Hikaru. And neither will my life. I'm stressed out about so many things. Mostly about school and these new people I met who go to the public high school down town. Remember the Sailor Senshi? I met them, even fought for the time being with them. (I've unwillingly inherited our family's powers, and took off where you failed.) I wish I didn't have these, they bring me nothing but pain and unhappiness, and I hate having to destroy people. I've also inherited the Tsuki-stone, which I use to bring forth my power in sword form. Hikaru... why can't you be here to fight along side me? I can't do it all myself... but... I know how important missionary work is to you... I miss you, onni-chan, and so does mom and dad. They send hugs and kisses, but you know me, I'll just send you a letter full of my beautiful calligraphy! (Do I have wonderful penmanship!? Ha! Better than yours! ^_^) I hope you visit soon and are able to hang out with me again.
Your little sister, Hime
P.S. Reika says hi, and that she wants you to come visit her, if you ever come back. (Please do!)
As Himeko closed the envelope and put on the stamps, she was ready to send the letter to her brother, Hikaru. Hikaru, too, had inherited the amazing powers, but upon failing his judgement by grandfather, was refused the family sword. Himeko had passed and inherited it all, but finally she regretted working so hard to pass. She missed her brother, who was doing missionary work around the world, but he loved helping others with his remaining healing powers. She fell on her bed and her cat, Demitri, came walking into her room.
"Himeko..." His little mouth spoke. "Are you alright?" With a weak smile, Himeko nodded and motioned Demitri over. She quietly pet his soft fur while she stared out the window. His quiet purrs gave slight comfort to the sad girl. "Himeko... tell me."
Himeko sighed. "I miss Hikaru a lot, but it's also this mission... I don't like it at all... I'm beginning to think it's going to ruin my future. If it's supposed to be like my vision, then I want no part in it. Princess Selenity has forsaken me and will do only the same in the future. My life is not with them, I had no part in their wonderful future... I wonder... how do I benefit from all this in the end? Why I am doing all of this if in the future nobody will remember me? I love helping others, and I realize that's what I'm doing... but..." She stuffed her face into her pillow. "Oh I'm just confused."
"Himeko, please don't be. When I was born I didn't know why I had to search for you, I just knew. Inside there was a part of me that said, 'If you don't find her, the world will collapse.'. Your power is magnificent, and I think if you use it to benefit the people around you, rather than yourself, you'd realize that your future will undoubtedly change. Besides, the way you approached them could have changed much of it, and they regard you in higher sense now. So thus, in the future, Selenity will not have forsaken you."
"Where is ours, though?" Himeko sat up and looked at the cat's blue eyes. "Where is our princess? I've gone three years without finding her and her prince, and I'm beginning to think she's not even here. Demitri, what if they're not supposed to be together again?"
Demitri shook his head. "I highly doubt it. Queen Selenity made Selenity and Endymion together once more, so why wouldn't our queen? Don't worry, Himeko. Trust that the Father will aid us, I'm sure He will. Now don't worry and... can you make me some food, please?"
Sighing angrily, Himeko began to drag herself out the room. "Everybody just likes me for my cooking..." She repeated.
to be continued...

Chapter 3: Draco's Light and Himeko's Hope
"Promise you will never surrender to those of darkness..."
The words echoed in Kirika's mind as she opened her eyes. She looked up and saw a dark sky, Himeko before her. She was shaking and as the rain began to fall, cold. Himeko's eyes were as dark as the sky as they peered down at her, and memories slowly came back to her of a once happy past, before the war Himeko never returned from.

Onni-chan,
Hikaru, I wish you were here. My older brother, a missionary, where again? Ah yes, in India, correct? I hope you keep up the great job, I heard your certain group is making a huge difference this year. The house will never be the same again, Hikaru. And neither will my life. I'm stressed out about so many things. Mostly about school and these new people I met who go to the public high school down town. Remember the Sailor Senshi? I met them, even fought for the time being with them. (I've unwillingly inherited our family's powers, and took off where you failed.) I wish I didn't have these, they bring me nothing but pain and unhappiness, and I hate having to destroy people. I've also inherited the Tsuki-stone, which I use to bring forth my power in sword form. Hikaru... why can't you be here to fight along side me? I can't do it all myself... but... I know how important missionary work is to you... I miss you, onni-chan, and so does mom and dad. They send hugs and kisses, but you know me, I'll just send you a letter full of my beautiful calligraphy! (Do I have wonderful penmanship!? Ha! Better than yours! ^_^) I hope you visit soon and are able to hang out with me again.
Your little sister, Hime
P.S. Reika says hi, and that she wants you to come visit her, if you ever come back. (Please do!)
As Himeko closed the envelope and put on the stamps, she was ready to send the letter to her brother, Hikaru. Hikaru, too, had inherited the amazing powers, but upon failing his judgement by grandfather, was refused the family sword. Himeko had passed and inherited it all, but finally she regretted working so hard to pass. She missed her brother, who was doing missionary work around the world, but he loved helping others with his remaining healing powers. She fell on her bed and her cat, Demitri, came walking into her room.
"Himeko..." His little mouth spoke. "Are you alright?" With a weak smile, Himeko nodded and motioned Demitri over. She quietly pet his soft fur while she stared out the window. His quiet purrs gave slight comfort to the sad girl. "Himeko... tell me."
Himeko sighed. "I miss Hikaru a lot, but it's also this mission... I don't like it at all... I'm beginning to think it's going to ruin my future. If it's supposed to be like my vision, then I want no part in it. Princess Selenity has forsaken me and will do only the same in the future. My life is not with them, I had no part in their wonderful future... I wonder... how do I benefit from all this in the end? Why I am doing all of this if in the future nobody will remember me? I love helping others, and I realize that's what I'm doing... but..." She stuffed her face into her pillow. "Oh I'm just confused."
"Himeko, please don't be. When I was born I didn't know why I had to search for you, I just knew. Inside there was a part of me that said, 'If you don't find her, the world will collapse.'. Your power is magnificent, and I think if you use it to benefit the people around you, rather than yourself, you'd realize that your future will undoubtedly change. Besides, the way you approached them could have changed much of it, and they regard you in higher sense now. So thus, in the future, Selenity will not have forsaken you."
"Where is ours, though?" Himeko sat up and looked at the cat's blue eyes. "Where is our princess? I've gone three years without finding her and her prince, and I'm beginning to think she's not even here. Demitri, what if they're not supposed to be together again?"
Demitri shook his head. "I highly doubt it. Queen Selenity made Selenity and Endymion together once more, so why wouldn't our queen? Don't worry, Himeko. Trust that the Father will aid us, I'm sure He will. Now don't worry and... can you make me some food, please?"
Sighing angrily, Himeko began to drag herself out the room. "Everybody just likes me for my cooking..." She repeated.
