Chapter Twelve
Yay! A two in one. I'm trying to make up for lost time. it's gonna be short though.
Same disclaimer
same time, place, ect…
Last time
"Come on lets go."
She turned away an stuck her tongue out at Rei.
Rei rolled her eyes as the party got moving again.
Present
"Huh?" Hotaru managed, she was in a slight state of shock.
The others were not much better, only Heero didn't look fazed. Hotaru looked over and smacked him in the arm, he opened his mouth a little.
"So, uh, you're here to serve Saturn? Um, why." Quatre asked shyly, his eyes squinting as he looked at her.
She nodded, nothing more.
Wufei, over his surprise stepped forward.
"Come on onna! Answer. Tell us who you are." This time Usagi smacked him.
"Calm down Wufei, don't get your boxers in a bunch."(gee I wonder who that was) Duo teased. "She'll tell eventually, we don't need you scaring her."
~~~~~Change Place~~~~~
"So Setsuna, do you know who she is?" Trowa asked.
"I should, I know I should, I just can't remember."
Trowa blinked. The keeper of time couldn't remember something. That's not good is it.
"Can you look back in the times stream. there has to be something about her."
"No, nothing. If there was I would have known long before now, and would have told you senshi and pilots. She has come out of nowhere, it's like she didn't exist."
"Could Queen Serenity have had a hand in this?" Trowa had to ask, it would be a logical explanation.
But Setsuna shook her head, Studying intently the azure walls with painted fish. Her eyes focused on nothing, seeing the whole picture.
"I don't know how she slipped past me. Now I really wish I could see into the future, not just past and present." She turned away from the wall mural to Trowa, she brought a hand up and pushed the bangs away from his one eye, "I'm going back to the times gates to check something, go back, but do not tell Usagi anything, not even that I do not know the girl." She drilled into him, with a sort of forced smile at the end.
He tried to smile back, but did make it, and his face went back to being impassive.
"Ok."
Setsuna nodded and vanished.
"She is more rattled then she's letting on, she must know something." He whispered.
~~~Change place~~~~~
The three girls were still trudging along, trying to hitch a ride from the occasional respectable looking passerby. Not having much luck.
"So, Rei, not much further huh. How far does that really mean?" Ami mumbled.
"Well, it was what a hundred miles when we started. The car broke down at like eighty miles down, we've walked at least six, so I'd say, we got about, fourteen miles left." Rei answered amiably. Enjoying the walk, the county side was beautiful. Meadows and streams. And plenty of little animals to keep you company.
"Oh joy."
Came from her two companions.

"Shut up Maxwell."
Titan looked over at Duo, recognition in her eyes. She carefully wrote something down.
Shinigami?
Duo looked at her as though she'd grown hones when he read it.
It was pretty clear she knew something, so he was gonna give a little.
"Yea, I am, what of it?"
The others, having not seen the note, didn't know of what he was referring and thought he was off the rocker. Minako even made the little spinny thing with her finger, next to her ear.
Duo looked at her painfully and gave a little chuckle.
Titan stood up and walked over to him, head bowed. She got down on her knees, head to the floor, as though praying to him in homage.
"Hey, what the heck is she doing," Usagi asked. Duo shrugged.
Hotaru walked up to her side and touched her back, making an up sweep with her hand. Titan stood.
"Ok, enough, I'm Hotaru Tomoe, what is it that you need?"
Titan instantly hopped over to her paper and began scribbling with ferocity.
"Guess she's got a lot to say." Usagi said.
a 'humph' came from Wufei, and he walked up behind Usagi and wrapped his arms around her waist. Whispering in her ear.
"Any idea who she is?" She shook her head.
He left a kiss on her neck, then settled his head on her shoulder.
They all were waiting in anticipation of what the girl had to say.
Trowa entered the room silently, and stood next to the door, waiting to see what was happening.
End Chapter.
Ok, short, but I told you so. If anything doesn't agree with something I said earlier in the story tell me, I can't remember if anything conflicts.
