" Who are you?" Wufei asked the black haired girl.

" Like I said, I am Death." She replied, she looked at Serenity with warm and happy eyes. " I've found you at last."

Heero and Millardo moved in front of Serenity to protect her, only to have her rush forward and push them out of the way. Serenity rushed to the newcomer and enveloped her in a crushing hug. The black haired girl laughed and hugged her back.

" Oh sweet Serenity, you're really here!" Serenity had tears flowing down her cheeks as she gazed upon her senshi. " I missed you so much Hotaru. I thought I'd never see any of you again."

" You won't ever be alone again, I promise you Serena. I'll always be by your side." Hotaru was not crying but her eyes were filled with tears of joy.

" How do you know Relena?" Trowa asked, still pointing his gun at Hotaru. But it was hard since Serena was in front of her.

But then the girls let go of each other once they heard his question. Hotaru stomped up to Trowa and stood a bit on her tiptoes to stand eye to eye to Trowa.

" WHAT did you say?" she demanded.

" I asked," Trowa replied not appearing in the least intimidated, " how do you know Relena."
SLAP!!!

Trowa's head was turned to the left and his cheek was red, Hotaru's hand was raised in mid-air.

" Don't you EVER call her that. Understand me?!" she yelled at him.

Quatre and the other guys were in shock staring at Trowa and Hotaru. Serena's eyes were hard as she stared upon the silencer.

" Who are you girl? And what power have you to order us around?!" Wufei said annoyed.

" Death is not my namesake for nothing." Hotaru said calmly.

" Just like me." Duo boasted. " You don't mess with Death unless you're asking for it."

" Yes." Hotaru agreed, then blinked. "What do you mean 'just like me'? I'm Death!"

Duo blinked, " What the hell you mean?? Death's a guy!"

" Girl!" Hotaru countered. " And don't talk like so of my domain!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"
" Guy!"
" Girl!"

And they went on with this as the onlookers sweat dropped, even Heero, but only a small one. Serena tried to contain her laughter as she looked on, she should've warned Hotura.

" Look! Shinigami is a guy!!"

" What do you mean Shinigami?! There is no GOD of Death!! For there to be a GOD of Death he has to be the husband of The GODDESS of Death!! The SHINIMEGAMI!! And seeing that I AM her and I SURE aren't MARRIED, Death is a GIRL!!!" Hotura screamed at him. (Himiko: Can anyone else hear weddings bells? ^_^)

" What do you mean YOU'RE Death?! I'M Death!! I'm the Shinigami!!" Duo yelled, then blinked as what she said sunk it. " So does that mean you're single?" he asked with bright hopeful eyes.

Everyone face faulted and fell over anime style while Hotura sweat-dropped.

" Ummmm..." Hotura said uncertain as she hesitantly edged away from him. She felt she was fighting a losing battle as she kept looking into those big, bright, hopeful indigo colored eyes of his. " Y-Yes...?"
She was deathly afraid (Himiko: -_-) of this boy who was staring at her with puppy dog eyes and had almost made it to
Serenity when Duo grabbed her hand and with a happy smile started to drag her out the door.

" Then let me be a gentleman and treat you to a meal! You must be hungry from you trip!" Duo exclaimed excitedly.

" I'm fine! Really!" Hotura said as she tried free her hand. " And besides, I came here to see Serenity! I have to talk to her!"

" Phooey! You're gonna be here for a while no?" he didn't even look back at Hotura who had a terrified and uncertain face, " Of course you are!" he answered himself, or for her. " You can see her later!"

Hotura looked back and looked desperately at them for rescue before being dragged out the door by a smiling Duo. The others had major sweatdrops as they watch the two leave.

" Ok..." Millardo said sweat-dropping.

They heard quick footsteps and Dorothy Catalina ran into the room wearing the same uniform as Serenity and Hotura, only her was yellow.

" Is it true?!?! Serenity's here?!?!" Dorothy asked in a rush, but before anyone could answer she saw Serenity with her own pair of eyes. Her suddenly vision got bleary and tears slowly, one by one, slid down her cheek.

" Oh Serena!!" cried Dorothy as she flung herself at Serenity, " I thought I'd never see you again cousin!"
The guys were confused as to how Dorothy was Serena's cousin, at the same time a dawning light appeared in Serena's eyes.

" Minako?" Serena whispered so soft so only the crying girl in her arms could hear.

" We watched over you always, all those years you were alone and thought we could never be with each-other again. But then when you wished onto the Ginzuishou to live again, four of us got triggered and we were reborn. I've been searching ever since! Oh god! You're here! Your real!" Dorothy clutched onto Serenity and cried.

" Shhh...it's alright now...I'm here...everything's going to be right again." Serena murmured as she struck Dorothy's hair. She didn't even blink as the long pale blond hair fell to the ground as a wig and long golden, shimmering tresses were revealed.

Dorothy sniffed and moved back. Serena's senses picked up two presences creeping around. Serena looked at Minako and lifted an eyebrow in question. Then her right eye twitched as her lips formed an amused smile.

" What??" Minako asked raising one of her eyebrows as well and that set Serena off in a giggle fit.

" Your eyebrows!!" Serena said throw her giggles. " They don't fit you no more!"

Minako scowled at her as she fingered them. She then jerked them off to reveal golden eyebrows to match her hair and she winced. "Damn fakes. Hurts every time." She muttered.

Minako blinked then started to walk out to the bathroom, "Just a moment...gotta wash off all the make up."
They soon heard the tap turned on and water running.

The guys turned to Serena for answers, but they got none. Serena stood there passive of their stares as she looked at the bathroom door. Quatre opened his mouth to ask when Minako come out with a happy face and a giddy jump to her steps. Quatre's words died on his lips as he stared at the once-known-to-him war crazy Dorothy to the now happy and giddy Minako.

" The others should be here any minute now!"

" The others? You now where they are?" Serena asked

" Yeah. We found each other a long time ago. But we couldn't find you. I STILL can't believe you're here!" Minako said jumping up and down. " Now I have a partner in crime!"

The guys were alarmed but Serena just laughed. { she hasn't changed one bit.} Serena thought happily, then her thoughts took a down turn { But I have. Can I ever go back to that carefree and innocent girl that I once was?}

Her eyes got foggy as she slipped back into memories of a time long ago. Of the bright times they had had during the 20th century in Tokyo. She did not jump back in startlement like the others when two figures dressed in close-fitting clothes jumped off from the ceiling and landed in front of them. One in pure blue and one in pure red.

A smile formed on her lips as their auras felt so familiar. Minako recovered from her shock and walked up to stand next to Serena

" Rei. Ami." Serena said softly as her eyes focused once again and fell on the raven haired girl.

" Serenity!!" The two girls yelled out and launched into her arms.

Both had tears streaming down their cheeks as they looked upon her face. Rei touched and traced her features to make sure she was really there an not another one of her visions.

The guys watched them suspiciously and slowly walked up. Except two. Trowa stood stock rigid as he gazed at the on in blue and Wufei who was in the same shape as Trowa. He stood there shocked to the core as he gazed wide-eyed at the women in red tracing Serenity's face.

" Meiran..."
