The prince of Earth made a safe arrival on the foreign planet with his accomplice Pluto. Prince Endymion could not travel through space by himself, he needed the assisted help of Sailor Pluto. The guards of this planet were ready for their unexpected visitors. Not knowing if they were friend or foe they lead them to the nearby palace to be judge in front of their princess.
The castle was elaborately built and still being built in some places. The landscape that surrounded them was much like Earth's own. They did however have to admire the beautiful sun set that they witnessed on their journey to the palace looming in the distance. The guards lead the two through the main gates and into the heart of the palace without so much as a word spoken between them.
They were lead throughout the palace to the main throne room where the princess had been notified that they had guests. "Princess Kakyuu." Endymion and Pluto bowed down before her. Kakyuu motioned for them to rise.
"What brings you here friends?" Kakyuu questioned and at her words the guards backed off a bit.
"If I may," Endymion stood up. "There is trouble on Earth. Two of our senshi have had their memories erased and Sailor Moon can no longer transform." His tone sounded very regal and serious.
"I see. Then I will grant you whatever assistance you may need. Kinkomu is forever in debt to the Earth and it's senshi." Kakyuu stood at this last sentence and motioned for Pluto to stand as well.
"Thank you your majesty. However there is one small problem." Endymion began to explain as Kakyuu began to walk towards him. "May we speak in private about such a matter?"
Pluto was surprised at his words, she didn't know what he would have to say to the princess that he couldn't say in front of her. Her face showed outwardly her confusion. Kakyuu nodded to Endymion and signaled for him to follow her. She opened the door to what appeared to be a drawing room. There were maps and books sprawled about the room on tables and shelves. The two sat in the chairs near the circular table and a servant brought them both tea.
"What matters would you like to discuss with me that you could not speak of in front of your own senshi?" She sipped from her cup.
Endymion placed his cup back to its saucer. "I don't need to remind you that the senshi that protect Earth are not my own. The planetary senshi that protect Earth belong to the Moon Princess and her kingdom. This is the reason that I can not let my companion hear of what I must ask of you."
"Now, I'm intrigued. Go on." Kakyuu also set her cup down to it's saucer and gave her full attention to the man across from her.
"I must ask for your senshi's assistance. I will, however, not be needing the assistance of Sailor Star Fighter." His eyes grew serious with just the mention of her name. "She will be a distraction for Usagi and we do not need that at such a time."
Kakyuu couldn't help but smile. "Jealousy is a troublesome thing, is it not?"
"Excuse me princess, but I think you've misunderstood what I said. I simpl." He was cut off by Kakyuu.
"No, I understand perfectly what you said. I am aware of Usagi's feelings for my senshi. I see she didn't conseal them as well as she had hoped. I have problems with such of my own." Kakyuu took Endymion's hand.
"Usagi has no feelings for your senshi. I am her love. I am there for her now." Endymion sounded as if he was trying to convince himself more than the princess.
"Come I want to show you something." Kakyuu took a firmer grasp on the prince's hand and took him to the balcony. By now the night sky had fallen and the brilliant stars were making their way out. "Look there." She pointed to the garden below.
"What am I supposed to see here?" Asked Endymion.
"That is what she does every night as soon as the stars come out until she falls alseep. During the day she mopes. She is never herself anymore as much as she tries to pretend." Kakyuu looked sympathetically at Star Fighter.
"What does this have to do with me? This is all the more reason that she should not return to Earth, ever." The anger was starting to become apparent in his voice.
"If you don't want to see it, that is alright. You may take whatever senshi in my army that you would like, but know this, Fighter is my strongest warrior. She will never give up." Endymion bowed to the princess and walked with her back to the throne room where Pluto awaited them.
Endymion had asked to take Healer and Maker back with him since they already knew Earth quite well. "Guards, would you please summon Healer and Maker." The princess ordered. The guards did as requested and hurried off. Within a matter of minutes they returned with the needed senshi.
"Princess." Both Healer and Maker said in unison.
"My Starlights, you are to accompany Prince Endymion and Sailor Pluto back to Earth. There is a crisis there and your assistance is requested." Kakyuu gave her orders.
Maker and Healer lifted their heads and for the first time noticed the green haired senshi of Pluto and the prince of Earth standing in front of them. Neither of them knew what was going on but both of them wanted to know where Fighter was. "When do we leave?" Maker asked.
"Now." Pluto said without hesitation. With that the four of them headed out to the court yard. The princess said nothing else as she knew what both were thinking. She just nodded and waved them goodbye. With a vibrant flash of light the four disappeared leaving a shining white trail behind them.
This caught Fighter's eye in the garden. The light that appeared to have just left Kinkomu was headed straight for the blue planet that she had just been captivated by. "What's going on?" She voiced her concern as she got up to find Kakyuu.
"Princess, what's going on?" Fighter was out of breath from running around trying to find her princess. "Who just left?"
"Healer and Maker have been asked to return to Earth to help fight a battle." Kakyuu stated bluntly, she knew there were way more questions to follow. She began walking down the hall towards the garden from which Fighter had just come from.
"What? Why didn't you tell me? Why did they leave without me?" Fighter was almost hysterical.
"I'm sorry, your assistance wasn't requested. It was not by my doing. The prince of Earth felt that you would be a distraction to their mission and did not want you to accompany the others back to Earth." Kakyuu knew that this was going to hurt her starlight.
"I wasn't wanted. She doesn't need me?" The tears started to well up in her eyes, but she would try to hold them back for she did not want to cry in front of her princess. "I can't just sit here, who will protect her?"
"Fighter." Kakyuu sat down on the ledge of the garden next to Fighter. "It has been hard for you these past couple of months, I know. You have to find a way to forget about her." She knew that this was impossible for her senshi to do, but felt that it was the right thing to say.
"I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't feel this way, don't worry about me, I'll be alright." She was lying. She didn't think Kakyuu would understand and didn't want to try to make her.
Kakyuu laughed at her. This made Fighter stop thinking all self pity thoughts and look her princess right in the eye. "You know, that's the same thing that she said. Isn't ironic?"
Fighter was confused. "Princess?"
"When I went to Earth, I stayed within my incense burner and carefully observed people. When Chibi Chibi found me she brought me to Usagi's house. I spent a long time living with and observing Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon. It just now struck me funny that the same words that she spoke concerning you, you just spoke concerning her. I know that neither of you meant it and now I know that neither of you were very good at concealing your feelings for one another." She gave Fighter a hug. "It was not Usagi that didn't want you to go to Earth, it was Mamoru. He is jealous of you the same way that I am jealous of her."
"I don't understand. What did she say about me?" Fighter questioned, her head was spinning.
"Usagi Tsukino loves you. She thought that it was wrong to love you and kept it a secret from everyone and tried to tell herself that she didn't. She was going to pretend that everything was fine. From the sound of things that Prince Endymion spoke of, she didn't do a very good job." Kakyuu took Fighter's hand into hers and looked at her tears.
"She loves me?. He is letting his foolish pride get in the way of protecting her. I have to go to Earth. I'm sorry princess." Fighter knew how Kakyuu felt about her. She felt bad that she was going to leave her broken hearted, but also knew that Kakyuu didn't love her as much as she thought she did. She didn't care whether or not she was going to let her go to Earth or not, she was going anyway and Kakyuu knew this.
"I know, but please, you must be discrete. Do not let anyone know of your presence, or I fear there will be terrible consequences. Please protect her. We all owe our lives to her."
