Chapter one - Darkness and Light

Serenity sat in front of the vanity mirror, finishing putting back her hair into its hearts odangos. She wore her old school uniform of when she had been going to Juuban many a millennia ago. Except it where it had been blue, it was now silver. Her shoulder neck flap was silver, as was her bow in front of her chest and her skirt. She wore white socks and silver heel shoes that went with it. She had grown taller since then and her uniform was larger and her skirt a bit longer then before. As 'Relena' she had used an illusion for everyone to think that she was about 2 inches shorter than she really was. Her silver-blue eyes stared back at her and she closed them as if in pain.
{Why minna? Why did you have to leave me alone like this? I want to be with you, I don't want to be alone.} A silvery tears escape from the corner of her eye. {But I know I can't. I can't truly die; I'll always just be reborn. But that is a burden I bare for my powers. If I ever truly die the universe would collapse upon itself.}
{Why? Why can't I die? They say that death is the ultimate release. Saturn, you are the Goddess of Death why can't you give this to me? You've taken a vow to protect, but in order for you to protect the universe you had made sure that I couldn't die and join the others. Why? Why can't you release me from THIS hell? The one you guard and rule seems not the only one.} With a strangled sob she cried into her hands. Her sobs were quiet and unearthly.
The wails when she had when she was Usagi were long gone, almost forgotten. If anyone ever heard her cry they would run into her-no Relena's room in an instant and not leave until they know what was wrong. To be able to wail, scream, and shout would have been bliss. She let her mind drift and her telepath link along with it. She searched for others with her gift in the void, but like always, nothing. The scouts had a special telepath link to each other, since they had died; she had found no voice or presence in her fruitless search. Her mind went to the times of her life as Sailormoon and the others and thought of the freedom.
She did not have to be lady like and did not have to be a proper lady. She had been so care free and energetic, but once she was reborn to the life of 'Relena' she had to stop acting like herself and more of a doll they wanted. And she had given it to them, until now. {Today I will show them who I truly am and I'm not some puppet for peace and such a weak defenseless person that I have to depend on the pilots to keep me safe.}
She was just about to give up again when she felt something, darkness. No, not evil, just darkness like there is light. She went out to it with her mind, it felt strangely familiar. No, not strange, but she wouldn't let herself believe it. If it were false it would only cause her heart to break more.
:: Saturn...?:: she sent out the message softly, hopefully.
:: Princess?? Oh! I've finally found you!!::
:: Saturn?? It's really you?!?!::
::Of course!!::
:: How..?::
:: Princess...I've always been reborn with you. And I always will.::
:: How?? How can it be?::
:: Darkness cannot exist without light, Princess. As light cannot exist without darkness. But darkness does not have to be evil.::
::I see Hotura. You are to my light as I am to your darkness.::
::Hai.:: then there was a giggling of a mind in the void.
::What's so funny firefly?::
:: I dare say Serenity, that you have a mighty good acting ability!! When I saw on TV this 'Relena' person that everyone was talking about and knew that it was you!!! I laughed so much that my sides hurt!! You acted like this pacifist person who actually believed it could come true!! I wish it was really psosibel though, but as the solders as we are. we know it is not possible.::
:: I know, but to keep up my disguise I had to.::
:: I know, I just got off the plane and am in Sanq Kingdom right now. I'll come to the Peacecraft mansion now. See you in a while so we could really talk ok?::
:: I'll be waiting Saturn.::
:: You've always been waiting, but Serenity, this wait won't be a millennium years like last time. I'm here, I'm real and I'm going to take you away form the 'Peacecraft' life you despise so much.::
::You know me well Hotura-chan.::
::Remember? We are sisters in every sense but blood. Remember that.::
::I know and I will. Please come quick, I want to leave.::
She got no reply as she felt Hotura close off the her end, but she could still feel her presence in that void, and now it was no long a blank void. But once again, like it had been long ago with the scouts, a haven for her and Hotura.
She opened her eyes to stare at the mirror again. Her eye sparkled with such joy that had not been there for a very long time. There was a pounding at the door and the door was pushed open.
"What is the meaning of this Relena!? Turning the control of the Sanq Kingdom over to me?? How? Why??" a angry Millardo said as he rushed into the room. The he blinked and his rage was forgotten as he stared at her. " Where is your wig and contacts Relena?!?!"
Millardo knew about her appearance, because sometimes when she knew there was no one else, not even servants at the mansion. She would take off her disguise go to Millardo and tell him that she need time to be herself and leave for a day or two without giving him time to say anything. He had been stunned stupid at her real appearance at the first time he saw it, but it answered the question he always had wondered. His sister had been born with the most beautiful hair of silver and gold, but when he saw her again, it was changed. He had found out about her wig and contacts, but that was all he knew. She never told him or ANYONE about her past and real position, now she was determined to take it up again. And that meant no more letting people think she was this 'Relena' person that never existed.
" Hello Millardo. Call me Serenity."

" Relena? What is going on? And why aren't your wig and contacts on?" Milliardo asked almost afraid.
" Milliardo Peacecraft, I never was Relena, Relena was someone I pretended to be to hide the true me and to please others."
" So...who are you?" Milliardo felt foolish, he was asking who his own sister was!!
" Serenity Moon Cosmos. Serena for short."
" Don't you mean Serena Moon Cosmos Peacecraft?" Milliardo ask fear laced into his voice.
" I'm not your sister, yet you are my brother." She said.
" How is this possible?" he inquired confused.
" I am as much as a sister to you as I was to Shingo." She replied as she got up from the seat in front of the vanity mirror. " Now, I'm expecting a guest to show up in a quick while. I'll be downstairs of you need me."
Serena walked out of 'Relena's room down the hall. {I need to redecorate that room very soon if I am to ever call it mine.} But then she remembered she'd be leaving soon with Hotura and just ditched the room thing. Milliardo was watching her back as she walked, frozen. Then he remembered that the gundam pilots were in the living right down the stairs and hurriedly walked after Serena.
The pilots turned to that staircase as they heard footsteps coming down. They all blinked as a goddess walked down. She was so beautiful it was unearthly and she had such grace it seemed she was floating instead of walking. Millardo was rushing behind the goddess and passed her to stand in front of the pilots first.
" Hello," A musical voice said, " it's nice to see all of you here. Quatre, Trowa, Heero, Wufei, Duo."
The guys was confused on how this angel knew them, they looked toward Millardo. Millardo cleared his throat and said in a clear voice.
" This is Relena, boys. Now Duo, don't look at me like I've gone nuts." Millardo said dryly at the young man, " I remember she told you once that what you saw wasn't who she really was?"
The guys nodded dumbly. She had told them that once after she got so mad at Duo saying she was a obsessed stalker and nutcase. They looked back at Relena and she looked at them with a small smile tugging on her lips.
" Hi."
" Hi." Wufei, Duo and Quatre responded.
" Relena." Said Heero flatly, all the fascination and curiosity gone.
Duo and the others cringed as her eyes looked at Heero, they waited for the Heero wail. Which did not come.
" No." She said almost passively, " Serenity."
Duo looked at her weirdly, " Are you sure she's your sister Millardo?"
Millardo scowled at him, " YES I'm sure!"
" I never was Relena Peacecraft," Serenity said and the guys turned their attention back to her, " and never will be."
" Wha??" Duo said.
" Miss...Serenity, how is it possible then?" Quatre asked confusedly.
" I was never her and never will be because Relena Peacecraft never existed."
" What?" Heero said quickly. " Explain."
" She was just someone I made up and pretended to be to hide myself from...things."
" Hide yourself? Why?" Wufei demanded.
" It was necessary."
" And now it isn't?" inquired Trowa.
" I decided it isn't."
" If you hide yourself before who are you now?" Duo wanted to know.
" Serenity Moon Cosmos, Serena for short." She replied.
" Don't you mean 'Serenity Moon Cosmos Peacecraft?'" Quatre said.
Millardo tensed as he heard this and waited for the answer.
No. I am who I am, and who I am is Serenity Moon Cosmos."
" But I thought you're Millardo's sister!!" Duo bursted out.
" I am his sister as I was Shingo."
" Who's Shingo?" Heero was quick to interrogate.
" My brother."
" But you don't have any other relatives but Mask Boy here!" Duo jerked his thumb to Millardo who glared at him.
" I don't believe that it is your place to say if I have a family or not." Serenity said coolly, " Oh, Millardo?"
" Yes Re...Serenity?"
" I'll be leaving soon, take care of Sanq Kingdom."
" Leaving?" Wufei said suspiciously, " Where to?"
" To take care of business."
" And that would be what?" Wufei snorted.
" To reclaim my throne." She said passively as her eyes glazed over.
" Throne? What throne?? The only kingdom you have is the Sanq Kingdom!" Duo said wildly.
" There are many things abou me that you are unaware of."
:: Hotura where are you?::
:: I'm past the gate I'll be there in about 2 min.... Uhh...Serenity-hime..?::
Hotura ended with a timid voice, Serenity was suspicious and it should on her face. The guys looked at her as she seemed to be looking elsewhere and her eyebrows bushed together. They wondered what she was thinking of.
:: What Hotura?::
:: umm..at the gate...the security guys..uhh...umm...I uhh I..::
:: Out with it firefly!::
:: They wouldn't let me pass so I had to knock them out.:: Hotura sent the telepath message in a rush.
Serenity's expression changed to one of extreme amusement. The guys looked at her weirdly. Her eyes were twinkling with laughter.
:: Their shouts and attracted another servant and I sent you a message. She should be there right about now.::
:: What did you say to her?::
:: Wait for her to tell you, is anyone else there with you?:: Hotura asked mischiefiously.
:: The pilots and Millardo.::
:: Great!! More fun!! Uhh...Serenity....have you've been ignoring them for the past few minutes you've been talking to me?::
:: Kuso!! OOPS!!!:: Serenity thought as she noticed the looks that that guys were giving her.
:: See ya in a moment!:: Hotura thought and ended the conversation.
She made her expression blank and stared back at the guys. The guys opened their mouths to speak but before they could a young servant girl rushed in. She looked at the pilots and then Millardo and then with a bit of confusion at Serenity.
" Master Millardo??" the servant girl asked nervously.
" Yes?"
" There was a girl at the gate wanting to see the princess. But when the guards wouldn't let her in she knocked them unconscious and is walking up to the house now. She told to give her princess a message."
" Her princess?" Trowa asked.
" That is exactly what she said," the servant girl told them.
" Never mind that, what is the message?" Quatre got back to the business at hand.
" Death has arrived." The servant girl said fearfully.
The guys were stunned for the moment while Serenity tried not to laugh.
" Indeed Death has arrived and she's right here."
The Gundam pilots quickly pulled out their guns and pointed it to the newcomer leaning at the doorway. She had chin length black hair and was wear a outfit like Serenity's, but where Serenity's was silver the newcomers was purple. Her purple eyes twinkled with humor as they gazed upon those in the room. Her eyes fell upon Serenity and gave her a wink.
