Hello all! Here is the next chapter, I hope you like it.
Please R&R ^_^
If you like the Ami & Rei a lot please forgive me for what I say. I only thought it was what Takara & her sis would feel.
***
Rei and Ami stayed for a long time after that. Mai and me had wanted them to leave as quickly as possible, but Momma had insisted that they should stay. I didn't understand that at the time and neither had my twin. Why would momma want to keep these evil people in our home? For the next week or so we spent most of our time trying to make momma get rid of them, but she wouldn't.
"They're my friends Takara." She'd told me, "I can't just throw them out."
"What kind of friends our they momma?" I'd asked her, "What kind of friends would make you so sad?"
It was true; they had made her sad. For about two weeks after the confrontation she'd been almost utterly silent. She stopped singing while she worked and even stopped laughing! That had upset Mai to no end. Mai has always been a sensitive person and she HATES it when people get upset, but she hates it even more when they try to hide it.
"Why doesn't momma say something!" She'd shouted, "Its like she's just trying to block out all emotions. She won't even smile, OR cry!"
It was true as well. Momma had always been an emotional person. Just as sensitive as Mai, but now she just seemed like a zombie, walking around in a sort of half dazed fashion. It hurt Mai to see her like that. I could see the pain welling up in her face every time momma gave us one those blank stares, void of emotion. The change in mother had a different affect on me. Instead of becoming sad I became angry, and when I'm angry I never cry or lash out. I just become quiet. The sort of quiet that makes the night such a frightening time. I'm not surprised that I made Ami uncomfortable. She's a gentle person and my cold stares were probably hard for her to handle. Rei was, of course, a different matter. For a while she would always try to put up with my glare, but in the end she would just storm out of the room, muttering curses under her breath. It gave me a strange sort of satisfaction to see those two uncomfortable. They had hurt my momma and I wasn't going to forgive them
for that.
I spent a lot of time after that playing in the surrounding woodland. Mai had never liked playing outside before, but she joined me anyway. We both needed to escape the house and it was the perfect way to do so. I taught my beautiful sister a lot of things during that time. How to climb a tree, how to fight and how to hunt. She never became very good at it, but it was a way to pass the time and we both enjoyed it. Those weeks were a hard time for us. Both of us were VERY confused and full of unanswered questions. I for one really wanted to know why they'd called momma Saturn. And what did father have to do with anything anyway? Our questions were left unanswered though. Momma was still too zombie-like to be much help and neither of us felt we would ever stoop so low as to ask the strangers anything!
About a month of tears and anger later the next event occurred. It was only five in the morning when momma woke us up. The sky was still dark and not even the birds had bothered to get up yet. I remember opening my eyes to the sight of mothers pale face looking down on me. Her eyes looked much brighter in the darkness, even luminous, and she'd smiled at me tenderly. My spirit climbed when I saw that smile. It had been the first one since the strangers had arrived.
"Its alright treasure." She said soothingly, "Mai is already awake, you have to get ready to leave."
"Leave?" I asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
Her eyes regained that haunted look once again and I almost kicked myself for ruining her good mood.
"Rei and Ami have asked me to go many times and I thought that it was about time I faced my problems."
"Go where momma? What problems?"
She smiled "We're going to Crystal Tokyo, Takara. To meet the people I left behind."
And that was the end of my life in Trif.
Before we left me and Mai managed to sneak of for a few minutes to visit the cherry tree. It was hard to say goodbye after all this time and though I could never had said it in words. I felt like I was leaving a friend behind. Both Mai and me cried a little before we left and I plucked a few flowers to leave on his grave. They were snowdrops of a pure white, which glimmered with the morning dew. I knew the dew would have dried up by morning. Just like our tears.
We were almost three miles away from Trif, sitting in our horse pulled cart when momma finally spoke. She told us in a wavering voice that she was, by birth, Sailor Saturn the senshi of destruction. Her duty was to protect Crystal Tokyo from attack, which meant she was always on the move fighting the youma who threatened the peace. She'd just taken a short... break to bring us up. Mai had reacted in her typical way. She cried for a while and accused momma of a number of different things before she finally calmed down. I didn't cry though. I just sat there staring at mother. Why hadn't she told us? What had made her so determined to stay away from Tokyo? And what did Father have to do with anything?
I didn't ask her though. Maybe it was because I could already see the shadows creeping back into her face. Making her empty once again. I'd seen enough of her pain and I only wanted her to be happy once again. Like she was once in our little cottage in Trif...
Ami and Rei were not with us. I guess this was a good thing. Mai was in one of her gloomy moods and they would have made perfect targets. We were silent for the rest of the journey and it was not long before both Mai and me fell into a deep slumber.
When we woke up it was already well into the morning. The street was full of people dressed in bright clothes talking and laughing with each other in a casual and easy manner. The houses were much bigger then our own had been, but not to big. I could see some people staring at mother; a few began murmuring in amazed voices as we drove past.
"I guess Sailor Saturn's face is well known around here." Said Mai bitterly.
It was a little while before we entered the inner city of Crystal Tokyo. It was much busier there so we went (thankfully) unnoticed. Though both Mai and me were in pretty bad moods we couldn't help, but marvel at the beauty of the city. The skyscrapers were as high as mountains and everything seemed to gleam a soft white. My eyes scanned the city dreamily. I couldn't make up my mind on what to look at! Suddenly the most beautiful building I'd ever seen captured my gaze. Its spires were tall and aloof while its whole structure radiated beauty and peace. The moment I saw it I knew exactly what it was. It was none other than...
"The royal palace." Said momma, "We've arrived."

I hope you enjoyed this. It's one of my best stories (so far).
