The Record Of New Beginings
Chapter Nine
Serenity frowned she pondered over her talk with Hotaru, then with Rei. She was clueless as to what to do. She didn't trust the humans...but the others she could trust if she felt the need to. Sighing, she looked out the window at the full moon. It was peaceful out.
"The clam before the storm." Serenity smirked. "Why? Why would anyone want to destroy such a peaceful world?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hotaru-sama, do you think it's a good idea to encourage Usa-chan to be around Heero?" Makoto asked.
"I'm just following orders from a woman with big plans." Hotaru chuckled slightly. Makoto sighed, and slowly let a smile cross her face.
"There's more to it than you're letting on."
"Don't worry about it Mako-chan. Nothings gonna happen that shouldn't."
"What are you talking about?" Makoto looked at her with a confussed look.
"Go talk to the druid.....he knows." Hotaru smiled than turned to walk back to her room. Suddenly she stopped and looked at Makoto. "Let's go see him now." Makoto nodded, and the two left to find the druid. Makoto followed in silence as Hotaru led the way. She was unsure of the "woman" Hotaru was talking about....and the plans. She hoped that when they found Trowa, her questions could be answered.

Quatre and Minako walked back into the palace.
"I enjoyed the walk Quatre. We should do it again sometime." Minako smiled.
"I hope we have the chance." Quatre smiled back. Minako looked up at him and wished that there was no threat of war filling Quatre's thoughts. Several times he had made comments about it, and she wondered why he was so worried. Was the enemy more powerful than the elves thought? Would it take more than their army to defeat it? Minako's thoughts were cut off as Quatre's lips covered hers. She smiled into the kiss and deepened it. When they separated for air, Minako had forgotten about her recent line of thought.

Ami paused in her reading as Duo and Wufie's arguing grew.
"If you weren't such a tight ass!" Duo shouted.
"Watch it Maxwell, you have no idea how often I've wished I could hurt you!" Ami smirked. It sounded so much light Rei and Usagi at times. She looked over at Trowa who just shook his head at the whole thing. From what she could see, Duo and Wufei fought like that often , so no one bothered to stop them. Ami smiled once more and turned back to the book. As she read, a quote on the page made her read it again.
'And a woman with white wings and silver hair looked down on a small girl and said, "In the darkest hour, the soul is replenished and given strengh to continue and endure."(1)' Ami thought about the words, then continued reading. She read until she came to blank pages in the book.
"Trowa, why are these pages blank?" She asked.
"Those pages are what I must fill in when the prophcy is complete."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the Moon Kingdom under such uncertainty. It was the perfect time for an attack. An attack, whether it is planned or not, could easily take down the unpepared kingdom. And the Youma OO(2) knew this, he knew it well. The Youma OO, the once man known as Heero, smiled as he looked over his minions. He had called everything he could think of from the depts of the Makai(3). The minions of the Youma OO wandered around the northlands mindlessly until they were needed by their master. For these creatures, there was no other life than that of servitude to the one who had the power to control them. Their mishappened forms blened in well with the bleakness of the dark northen region. No one from the southlands ever ventured into the north, but for the few who did.....they never made it back. The dark figure of the Youma OO seemed to float to the edge of a large pool of black water. He looked into the seemingly endless pit and concentrated. Suddenly the placid waters began to tremble and images began to appear. The first image was of the distrested Serenity. The second image was of Trowa, Ami, and the arguing Duo and Wufei. He watched the scene for a while. He watched as Hotaru and Makoto walked in to the room. He growled at the image of Hotaru, a decendant of the northern people but bent on aiding the southlands. Having seen enough of that, he looked for the Moon Princess and was quite shocked at what he saw. His lips curved into an evil smile as he watched the scene before him.
"So the princess has a weakness.....a weakness I can easily reach." He smirked. As if on cue, a black figure emerged from the shadows. The figure walked into the light of the moon to reveal it was infact that of human features and was wearing a cloak. "You know what to do." The Youma OO said without looking at the person. The figure nodded as black wings sproted from it's back and it flew off into the night sky. The scene faded from the water and it returned to it's placid state.

"Heero, what were you doing?" Usagi asked as she wrapped the blanket around Heero's shivering shoulders. Heero said nothing, but just continued to look out at the lake's surface. Usagi frowned, He obviously wasn't going to tell her anything this time. "You're gonna catch an awful cold if we don't go inside." She warned. Heero just nodded and stood up. Usagi sighed and walked with him into the palce. As the two entered the palace, they failed to notice the black figure against the night sky that landed in the bushes asnd watched them closly.
"Spend all the time you can with him princess....he'll be gone soon." The figure smirked, it's teeth the only thing seen in the darkness that hid it's face from sight. "Real soon........"
Usagi and Heero walked in silence down the halls to his and Quatre's room. Usagi looked at Heero who was deep in thought. The woman from his past was real, not just something he made up to ease things. When they reached his door, Usagi followed him into his room. Heero turned to look at her curiously.
"I wanted to talk to you, remember?" She asked. Heero closed his eyes and nodded. When he opened them, Usagi stood right infront of him. "Heero...I think I...." SHe paused, almost as if she was waiting for someone to bust into the room and stop her from saying anything. When no interuption came, she continued. "I think I..." A loud crash sounded through the palace. There was the interuption Usagi had been waiting for however, she was once again upset at it. Heero rushed to the door and opened it. Guards rushed by, ignoring him completly. Usagi rushed to his side and the two followed the guards to the throne room. When they got there, they found Trowa, Ami, Wufei, Duo, Makoto, Hotaru, Quatre, and Minako also intoe of the quards. The throne room door was burst open to reveal a girl with sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and large black wings sprouting from her back.
"Relena Peacecraft!" Hotaru shouted.(4) Relena looked at Hotaru.
"Well, if it isn't the little traitor to the northlands." Relena shot. "I thought you'd be here, egar to help the southlanders!"
"What are you doing here?!" Hotaru shouted.
"I'm here to take care of buisness. I want the forgotten northlander." She said. Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy. There was no other northlander here but Hotaru. Serenity looked at Hotaru, to see the girl was just as clueless. "I'm here for Heero Yuy." Everyone looked at Heero who just stood there, uncertain of what she ment.
"What are you talking about?!" Usagi asked.
"Heero belongs with us. He was named after out great Youma OO and so he must claim his place in our world." Relena laughed evily. Heero narrowed his eyes. He had no idea what that northland creature wanted, but he had nothing to do with that part of the world.
"I will not allow you to spread your evilness through out this kingdom!" Rei shouted. "Evil spirits....disperse!" she yelled as she through a slip of paper with a spell on in Relena's face. Relena screamed as the paper caught on fire, and burned Relena to ash.
"Thank you, Rei." Queen Serenity said.
"I will do anything to protect my home, queen Serenity." Rei replied. Queen Serenity looked at the two humans, then at Heero.
"I wish to speak with Heero alone, please leave us." Serenity comanded. Usagi took one last look at Heero, then exited with the others.
