Death creeps into all of us. And here I shall say that
my heart mourns for you all. I don't own Sailor Moon for
the reason that my life doesn't contain the knowledge nor
the skill...or the money..to own it. That also complies for
the ownership of Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z.
Author's Notes: Hiya peoples!! I'm here once more to give you another
chapter of...the Sequel to Curse of Immortality!!
*clapping starts up and fades away*
Awww you really do like this story! *smiles*
Now then let's start the show! *goes away and to the
back* *there Cheska turns off the clapping machine*
***********
"Mama! Mama!"Sankan came running up to her, now a bit taller and around the
age of two.
"Sankan,"Serena bent down, her long golden hair flowing slightly.
Sankan reached up to her and hugged her and she, him.
"Will we always be together, mama?"Sankan whispered to her ear.
"Always,"Serena vowed.
~.~.~
"Mother!"an older Sankan shouted out to her, now sixteen years old.
Serena turned around and gazed at her son emotionlessly.
"Sankan.."Serena whispered out, tears began to gather around her eyes as
she realized who it was.
Her body was only appearing to be at the age of twenty-two. Her hair
slightly silver but mostly gold.
"Why are you leaving? Where are you going?"Sankan demanded.
"I'm sorry..so sorry..but I have to go,"Serena apologized, a tear dripping
from her left eye to her cheek.
"You promised me! You leave now?!"Sankan shouted.
"I'm sorry..it's for your own safety.."Serena cried out.
"For my own safety...it's always been that way! Please, take me
with you! I can take care of myself now! I'm old enough to
understand.."Sankan declared.
"No, Sankan. No..."Serena shook her head and began to walk away from
him.
"Mother! You promised me! You promised!"shouted Sankan at her back
and began to chase after her.
Serena turned around and was caught in an embrace by her son. His
lavender hair styled just like Trunk's and his lavender eyes a bit
darkened with hints of silver in them. He gazed at her square in the
eyes, it was suppressed of tears.
"You promised,"his voice was steady and in monotone as he said those
words to her.
"If..no when I get back Sankan..I promise you.."started Serena.
"No more promises, never promises.."Sankan shook his head.
"When I get back Sankan. I'll show you a spot somewhere on
Earth. There, I shall tell you what I have kept from you.
Will you wait for me? Till then?"Serena's voice was unsually calm as
she stared back at Sankan.
"Why can't I come?"Sankan asked.
"It is not your destiny.."Serena simply replied and pulled away from
him and continued on her journey.
"I'll wait. Till then...mother,"Sankan stood there and the rain
began.
~.~.~ Till that time..I shall wait. Forever I shall be here..until
you come back. To me. ~.~.~
Serena bolted up from her bed and stared around the dark room.
To her right was the crib that the guys brought along for Sankan.
He lay asleep, his face angelic and untroubled by the problems
surrounding him.
"It was so real.."Serena heaved a sigh of relief at seeing that she
was where she should be.
Meaning in the base of the Sanq Kingdom with her baby son, Sankan.
"I need to get some fresh air,"Serena sighed and threw the white covers
off of her body and stood up.
(How can that be in the dream? Everything is so clear, unhazy..as if
it was all real. Everything. From start to finish. What does this
mean?)Serena thought to herself as she strolled down the deserted
and dark, dimly lit corridors.
"Heero, you can come out now,"Serena sighed as she stopped momentarily
after sensing eyes boring onto her back.
"Hn."Heero grunted and revealed himself from the corner of the wall.
"I couldn't sleep,"Serena shrugged and began walking, this time
in sync with Heero Yuy.
"...."
"I've been thinking Heero..."Serena started but stopped herself.
"..hn."
"Whenever I'm around you..it's.."Serena sighed.
(What could she be wondering? Is she going to...?)Heero's mind was
at a whirl. Several possibilities that could pop up with the
next few words. But even as much as he hoped and wished, his
facade never altered.
"It's confusing and yet comforting. I'm just...not sure
what's going on these days.."Serena bowed her head and just watched
her feet as they kept moving forward.
(What is that suppose to mean? A good thing or bad?)Heero pondered.
"Tell me, when are you going to.."started Serena when footsteps
ahead of them began to come their way.
"You two should be in bed, but that's not my responsibility.
Is it?"Dr. M's voice carried over as her figure came in sight.
She wore her usual white lab coat and under it was a formal
business suit of purple and red. Her hair was neatly combed
and put up in a bun at the back. Light spectacles covered her
maroon eyes. Her dark eyes glinting from the slight light
available.
"Dr. M.."Serena's voice switched to monotone for the time being.
"Come with me, 06. 01 I hope you don't mind,"Dr. M ordered and
whirled around, turning towards a door nearby..about three doors
over.
Serena complied and followed after the doctor while Heero
just grunted in acceptance and went off.
*click*
The door shut in back of her and Dr. M leaned against a desk,
inspecting her princess and queen.
"I came back..that's obvious enough,"Serena stated.
"Yes, I do see that. The question is..how?"Dr. M questioned.
"That's what I'd like to know..."Serena sighed and walked
over to a pile of papers.
"It seems your destiny is not over yet. You still have a bunch
of work to do.."Dr. M smirked.
"Protecting, killing, maiming...it's practically the same to me.
In truth..after being the Protector and Princess of Light for
thousands of years..you grow tired of it. Have you, Sets? Are
you tired with life?"Serena interrogated.
"It's not in the job description to say when I can quit being the
Time Guardian. It doesn't say that I can just give up. No, Serena.
I value my job. Not many people are deemed the title of Sailor
Pluto. But there are days when I wish it wasn't my
duty. I admit that, but learn to appreciate what you have
and life will be easier on you,"Dr. M stated and took off her spectacles
and placed them in her lab pocket.
Silence followed.
"Hotaru fell in love.."Serena whispered out, her crystalline blue eyes
glazing over.
"She has, with a Gundam Piot no less,"Dr. M agreed.
"Hasn't she learned yet? Love is just..useless. It only gives
heartache,"Serena bitterly spat out, those eyes hardening at the mention
of heartache and love.
"How can you say that? You, dear princess, have known love
for centuries. Why now do you say that love is useless?"Dr. M questioned.
"It is! Love has given me nothing but pain! Those I love
die! I can't stand it anymore!"Serena shouted but not loud enough
for those outside to hear.
"You've been blessed to find more than one who has been faithful to
you to the very end. They died, for you,"Dr. M pointed out.
"They died..for me. So many have gotten killed because of me. I
can't let anyone else die. Those I have now must not perish. Never die.
I won't let it happen. Especially to Sankan,"Serena proclaimed.
"Sankan, your son. How is he?"Dr. M sighed contently.
"Well as can be, quite healthy and intelligent,"Serena smirked.
"He's growing quickly. Very quickly indeed..."Dr. M nodded knowingly.
(More quickly than you would think, my highness..)Dr. M noted in her head.
"Setsuna?"Serena called out, uncertainly.
"Yes?"Dr. M acknowledged.
"I had a dream. A very vivid dream...about Sankan,"Serena brought up.
"Dreams can tell you many things. They are a part of you, there is
usually truth to each one,"Dr. M uttered.
"Yes, I know. I would've asked Mars..but she's not here anymore.
And Mercury is gone as well as Neptune,"Serena pointed out.
"Tell me, princess.."Dr. M urged.
"In my dream...."and so Serena told the story over again from start
to finish. Each one carefully brought up with as much detail as she
could say.
"And that's what happened,"Serena ended.
"Yes, definately something to be considered,"Dr. M nodded in confirmation.
"So? What do you say?"Serena urged.
"..I'm afraid I can't tell you anything. But I can say this.
Be careful in your decisions,"Dr. M revealed and stood up straight
and opened the door and left.
"Thanks...Sets,"Serena didn't know what to tell her.
(She didn't say anything except that. Will it happen? I absolutely
have no clue...what to do or say..)Serena sighed and left as well..
but before she left she noticed a paper on the ground.
Bending down, she picked it up and read its contents. Her eyes
narrowed and then she set it down on the table alongside the
other ones and left.
Pilots,
Each one of you shall be placed into the University. From there
act as a regular student. Attend all school activities and participate.
That will be all. The enemy will be watching. That is a known
fact.
The doctors
************
Several hours after Dr. M and 06's conversation in that empty room,
all the pilots awakened. Sankan was still asleep and Hotaru just came
in through the door leading to the meeting room where the hidden
stair case was at.
"Today is the day,"Dr. J announced to the pilots.
"Hn."Wufei grunted, his arms folded.
"We're leaving today?"Hotaru wanted to make sure.
"Yes, that is true,"Dr. G answered.
"Classes will start tomorrow, today you'll be receiving your
schedules and co-ed dormitories.
"Co-ed? How come?"questioned Wufei.
"That's just how the University was made when Miss Peacecraft
had it built,"Dr. M's eyes flashed a lighter shade of marron for
a brief moment.
"Should've known,"scowled Wufei.
"Well no problems on that situation with me!"Duo enlightened and
put his arms behind his head.
"Are the Gundams ready yet?"Serena brought up.
"Soon.."Dr. O hastily replied.
"And me?"Serena wondered, referring to the University and Academy
of age differences.
"You shall be placed in the University. I'll somehow
get you in..."Dr. M told the 06 pilot.
Serena nodded and then stayed silent after awhile.
"What about the knowledge of Serena's death? How do we explain
that?"Hotaru muttered.
"Easy, Hotaru..."Serena piped up.
All eyes fell on her to explain this problem.
"You all only believed that I died. There was no body to be
found, was there? Just say that there was a slight misinformation
over that event.."Serena smirked.
"...there's a teensy bit of a problem in your solution.."Duo sighed.
Serena stared at him, expectantly.
"We were all there at that time and place! We saw you go!"Duo exclaimed.
"Did you? I recall a slight flash of light before her disappearance.."Dr. M
interfered.
Everyone was silent.
"I guess it's settled in, Serena shall remain as existent to this
world,"Dr. M nodded in approval along with the other doctors.
"When do we leave today?"Quatre politely inquired.
"At noon,"Dr. G told them all.
"And Sankan? Will you take care of him while I'm away?"Serena
asked.
"Of course...Pri...Serena,"Dr. M smiled mysteriously and drifted
off from the room and down the hallway.
"Meeting adjourned,"Dr. J slightly chuckled at having to say that
and went away as well.
*********
Serena came back to the room that she and Sankan shared. Sankan was
already out of his crib and sitting on the floor with a stuffed animal
of a wolf in his arms. Upon entering, his eyes swiveled over to her
and a big grin spread across his face. Those lavender eyes of his
lighting up.
"Mama!"Sankan exclaimed and ran greet her.
"Sankan, I have to tell you something,"Serena's voice was firm and
yet hesitant.
"Yo-You're leaving, aren't you?"Sankan saddened as he brought up the
topic that she was about to mention.
"Yes, I am.."Serena nodded.
"Am I coming also?"Sankan asked.
"...I'm afraid..not,"Serena frowned and felt guilty.
"Who will take care of me?"Sankan kindly asked.
"Dr. M will and I'm sure the other doctors will too. Dr. M
most of all, she's a great friend of mine,"Serena answered.
"Will you be back?"Sankan asked.
"Of course I will..."Serena smiled.
"As long as you'll come back and never truly leave me,
mommy,"Sankan hugged her, dropping the stuffed animal to the ground
in the process.
"I'll always come back, for you.."Serena whispered in his ear.
**********
The pilots and Hotaru arrived that day over at the University. It
was well...larger than they would've thought. Twelve stories high
and about five acres wide. There were a total of five buildings the
color of light peach..almost white and in a circular placement. There
were bridges leading from the center to each of the surrounding buildings with
the center as the main area. The 'bridges' had a solid ground to it
but the top and sides were made out of glass, from there you could make
out people walking along it.
"Miss Relena sure did a great job making this University. There must
be a bridge to every floor!"exclaimed Quatre in awe.
"There is one..except for the ground floor that is. It starts
at the third floor and goes up from there with the exception of the
twelvth(sp?) floor,"Dr. M/Setsuna Meiou
informed as she strolled over to their way.
"If you're here, Miss Meiou..where's Ben?"inquired Hotaru as the group
approached them.
"At the base with Dr. G I believe,"Setsuna Meiou answered.
"I see.."Serena nodded her head.
"If you follow me, I shall lead you to my office,"Setsuna turned around
and entered inside the Center Building. From there, there was a large
wide space to it. A capacious map greeted their faces as it stood, surrounded
by a metal rail and some flowers at the edge. The map was color coated, the
Center Building..or Central as it was named was the color Red and the
four buildings to it had names as well. To the right of where they stood
is a building called Virtue. At the front is Belief. Bottom building
is Base and the left is Opt. Virtue is the the color of blue while
Belief is green, Base appeared silver/gray, and Opt has violet. There
were some descriptions on ideas of what is in each of the building as well
but before any of them had the chance to completely go through with it,
Setsuna Meiou ushered them away from the map and towards their left.
There were two sides in that main location. A huge block of a wall
was located near the map. There were two walls surrounding them
in that center. The walls held six elevator doors. And Setsuna ushered
them into one which just opened up to let them in.
Inside the elevator the metal colored gold welcomed the group. Setsuna
pressed a hidden botton as she opened a compartment just under the
numbers. When she pressed it, it glowed a dark green color and
a symbol of a crown lightly appeared then vanished. As the doors
closed, the elevator ascended upwards.
"Some University this is,"commented Duo grinning.
"Relena Peacecraft decided to build larger learning facility and
went with a University as her main concern,"Setsuna stated.
"And what's with the names of the buildings?"querked Hotaru.
"Ahh..yes, those. Well each establishment holds a certain style
that resembles the Sanq Kingdom. Take Central. This one keeps
the heart, it houses the dorm rooms and the dean's office as well as
other areas. This also has the library on the ground floor. There
are others in the adjoining buildings but this library has
important documents concerning personal beliefs and political
paperworks. Such as Peacecraft intuitions, the war that ended a few
years ago, etc.
As you have found out, the dorms here are co-ed. Yes, that is
true. It's the way Relena Peacecraft has appointed it to be as.
Those who don't wish to be housed in the same rooms as the opposite
sex must stay in a seperate location..and that is miles away
from here. Some do choose that and because of that they either
come late or get here extra early. Too much of a bother, if you
ask me. Ahh..here we are...the thirteenth floor. The Dean's
office,"uttered Setsuna and stepped outside where a red carpet
received them. Oak wooden doors with designs of moon phases
was at the end. Two tall orchid plants of white with pink
tips lay on opposite ends of the doors. As Setsuna reached the
end, she stopped and waited with patience.
The elevator closed in back of them as they stepped back and the elevator
descended downwards. Setsuna opened the grand doors and
went inside her large office room. Three chairs were placed
in front of the Dean's commodius desk. But none of the pilots
nor Hotaru sat down and neither did Setsuna. For a few seconds,
she was content on observing them as she gazed at their figures
under those visible spectacles of hers that slightly covered
her dark marroon eyes.
"Now then,"Setsuna began and picked up pieces of paper that
lay on the desk,"Here are your schedules and dorm rooms."
Taking hers, Serena glanced at the white sheet.
Name: Serena Tsukino Age: 18 Number: 1970617

4 Politics Ms. Kingin Belief 208
5 Economics Mr. Arashi Base 315
6 Fencing Mr. Jizai Opt 218
Time: 1 = 8:30 - 10:00a.m. (Mon. - Wed.)
2 = 10:40 - 11:10a.m. (Mon. - Thurs.)
3 = 12:50 - 2:20p.m. (Tues. - Fri.)
4 = 10:20 - 11:35a.m. (Fri. - Sat.)
5 = 12:50 - 1:50p.m. (Mon. & Fri. & Sat.)
6 = 8:30 - 9:45a.m. (Thrs. - Sat.)
Finally, after reviewing the time and subjects she focused her
attention back on Setsuna Meiou.
"You made this, didn't you?"Hotaru pointed out after studying the material.
"Good guess, that is correct,"Setsuna nodded her head in reply.
"Why this?"questioned Duo.
"No reason, just something I was thinking about,"Setsuna shrugged and
leaned against the edge of the mahogany desk.
"Aww man, classes on Saturday! That's just wrong,"whined Duo.
"Just shut up, Maxwell.."Wufei growled.
"All of you have almost the same classes. Practically period by
period. The only difference is that you have an alternation of dorm
rooms but you are all on the same level,"explained Setsuna.
"Tell us, Miss Meiou. Clue us in on the situation of those
buildings,"brought up Quatre.
"Yes, that. Well you already know about the Central. It's also
where the students gather for the cafeteria, of course, this is open
campus as well. Though not quite public..it's a private university.
Now then..the cafeteria is on the second and third floor. There is
also an eating ground among the garden areas located
a few blocks from this main area about a mile away from the
stables and two miles away from the forest grounds.
What else? Uhmm..the one called Virtue is a class building that is about
morality in the Sanq. That is where musicals are held along with band,
drama, clubs, computers, etc. Base is basically along the lines of History,
Culture, Science, Economics, and so on; this is the basis and historical
marks of the Sanq Kingdom where the foundations are built upon. Belief is
the one that Miss Relena Peacecraft holds most dear. That is the head of
the University. It prizes pacifism..at least to her. Belief witholds
Politics and Mathematics mostly. And that comes up to the last, Opts.
Opts is just what it is to make a choice. Choices that individuals have chosen.
Just like Fencing, not exactly peaceful but it's there. Along with other
physical sports just like football, basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton,
swimming..all those and it has other types of classes. Such as home
economics, health, fashion, etc. That's what those classes
have,"lectured Setsuna Meiou.
"Okay, I think I get it,"Duo slowly commented.
"Now then, that's all there is to this school. Before I let you
go, in your dormitories your uniforms are in your closets. And the
weapons you may need are also hidden away in there. That's it I
suppose. Your mission still stands: act like normal students. Don't
worry about the enemy, its around. It always is,"Setsuna added and then
dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
Turning around they marched off back to the elevator and pressed the
down button. As the group waited, they compared classes and found out
that Setsuna was right. They practically had the same classes. Only
about two-three of them wouldn't be around in the music, econmics, and/or
fencing. Hotaru wouldn't be in the fencing and music, she took up health
instead of fencing and had landscaping other than music. Wufei
chose computers other than music and decided against economics with
Physiology. The third one turned out to be Duo who dropped music and
went with Hotaru in the health issue. Besides the three of them, everyone
had congruent schedules.
"Well there goes the elevator. Let's check out the dormitories,"suggested
Duo and went in. After everyone filed in, the braided boy pressed 12 and
the contraption descended to the 12th level. It opened and they stared around.
Some students were walking around the area and in their arrival, some chose to
glimpse at the lot. Others ignored.
"You're new here, aren't you? I'm Tira, roomed over at #10 of this 12th
station,"Tira greeted them.
"Hn."Heero and Wufei grunted in greeting while Trowa was silent and just
nodded his head upon acknowledgement.
(Don't get too close. It's unnecessary to make new acquaintences.)a voice
protested inside Serena's mind.
Serena didn't say anything but silently stared at Tira. She was around
5ft. 6 with waist length, raven colored hair and deep ocean blue eyes as well
as a slightly tanned complextion. Her slim figure and long legs would appear
to allow her easy access during sports mostly around the track or hurdles.
"Hi Tira. Don't mind my companions, they're not much on social
standards. I'm Hotaru, this is my boyfriend Duo Maxwell. My best
friend Serena Tsukino. These are my other close friends: Quatre,
Trowa, Heero, and Wufei,"Hotaru greeted with a smile.
"Nice to meet all of you, do you need any help getting settled in?
Showed around?"suggested Tira.
"No thanks, we're just checking out our rooms but we'll be completely
here by tomorrow. That's when our classes start. Just received our
schedules today and the Dean told us everything we need to know
about this place,"Hotaru politely declined the offer.
"Oh..well do you know about the way the school runs?"asked Tira.
"Like what?"Quatre inquired.
"Well, for one...this University is mainly based on pacifisms
because of Miss Relena. Another is that the students here are a
bit edgy whenever it comes to competition day,"Tira informed them.
"Competition Day?"mimicked Hotaru.
"Yes, Competition Day. That's when all the students compete.
Some don't even bother to but mostly everyone does. You see if
the top three winners get in followed by the other top two runner
ups below them are in...they get to receive another bunch of
credits in all their classes. And that's alot!"Tira exclaimed.
"What about the credits?"Serena finally spoke but in monotone.
"The credits are important to this school. If you get in those
top five areas...you're shoed in on getting pass your subjects.
For all of them. The problem is..Competition Day is hard!
Especially the last three courses,"Tira explained.
"What's the last three courses?"inquired Duo.
"Well it always changes every year so we're not too sure but we know
for the fact that the last one is the same. You see there's this
machine you go into...from there it goes completely different for
everyone. I'm not too sure what it is or what it does. But that's
where you face the inner you, kinda creepy isn't it? We all know
though that no matter how much it pains you to enter that machine,
it won't hurt you after you face it,"Tira uttered.
"When is this Competition Day?"asked Quatre.
"It goes on twice a year..at the end of each semester. You just
missed the first one, the second won't be around till...June.
Just three months to go, seeing that it's April now,"smirked Tira.
"We'll be going now,"Serena stated and started off with the others
in tow.
"Weird bunch.."Tira muttered and went off into the elevator and
descended down.
"That was cold,"Hotaru stated to Serena as she caught up with her.
"It's just a trigger..."Serena apologized and noticed the door
nearby.
"I'm roomed with you,"Heero monotoned and took out the card key that
went along with their schedule. He took the liberty to open the door
and came inside.
"See you guys later,"Serena waved them off and entered.
Inside, it was about the size of a two bedroom apartment. The
bedrooms were right next to each other and the bathroom right
across from those two rooms. There was a closet at the front of the
doorway and the kitchen, if you chose to use it, was around the left
side form the bedrooms. The living room is right there
in front of the closet and slightly placed near the right side
of the bedrooms.
"Not too bad,"commented Serena and checked the living room closet.
It was small but not too small and there was a minute compartment
at the back of the wall of the hangers. Slightly curious, Serena
leaned in and rapped in it, it was hollow. As she studied the compartment
closer, she noticed a niche at the left side and pulled. There was a
small doorway and opening it wider there was a box placed there and a note.
I knew you'd somehow find this: Serena. Heero.
Inside the box are four guns just for you two in case you need it with
spare cartridges. Use them wisely.
Dr. M
Smirking, Serena lay the note back and closed the compartment back up.
Then closed the door as well. Heero stood right in front of her,
his face expressionless.
"Dr. M placed guns for us in a secret compartment over at the closet,"informed
Serena.
"Hn."grunted Heero and entered his supposed bedroom.
Following his example, Serena entered hers. Her heart stopped from shock.
Dr. M no Setsuna Meiou no..Sailor Pluto took the time to decorate hers.
This brought her to near tears as she surveyed the bedroom. It exactly
resembled her room before..Sailor Moon and around her Sailor Moon stage.
The exact same copy with the exception of the laptop that stood motionless
on her desk along with the other minor details.
"Thank you...Sets,"Serena lightly smiled and walked over to her closet.
Opening it resulted to her seeing the uniforms she was suppose to wear.
It was slightly shocking to say the least. Knee length blue with a
white shirt and a light blue blazer over. The shoes were black and
could echo among the tiles..if there were any.
"At least it isn't...pink,"smirked Serena and closed the glass
closet once more.
Turning around, Serena glimpsed at Heero who waited for her outside
the doorway.
"How do you like the uniforms?"Serena conversed.
"Hn."Heero grunted.
"Same here. No complaints...it's better than last time, at
least,"Serena grinned and then walked out of her room and back to the
living room.
"Need to get back,"Heero uttered in the same tone.
"Right,"Serena opened the door and shut it after Heero stepped out.
Together the two made their way back to the base which took some time.
By the time they got back, night time arrived.
***********
"Mama!"Sankan greeted her at the stairway.
Serena bent down and hugged her son to him, she was so happy to see
him again.
"How did you like it today?"Serena asked.
"Great! The doctors taught me so many things today! They were shocked
when they found out I only turned one just a few months ago! They said
something about me being quite ad..advanced!"Sankan blurted out to her.
"And then?"Serena pressed for more information.
"And then they asked me questions if I knew this or that. I answered
yes to most of them and they started murmering to each other,"Sankan
continued.
(They better not do something I disapprove of.)noted Serena as she
appeared with a smiling face but a frowning one inside.
"Did the doctors make you take any sort of tests?"Serena asked.
"Uh..well they were going to put me in this thing they called
a sim..simu..simulat..or..simulator! But then..Dr. M came in and
stopped them saying I was too young and shouldn't be put under such..
such..pressure,"Sankan said.
"Good for her, Sankan. What happened afterwards?"Serena asked.
"Well when Dr. M came she brought me with her and started
staring at me..as if she was inspecting me or something. Then she nodded
her head as if de..debating. She said something about not from
around here and then a smile appeared on her face. I guess she noticed
I was there or something or came up with a reason for something I don't
know. But whatever it was, she acted as if she didn't do any of those things
in front of me and gave me what is called...candy. It tastes
yummy mommy! Candy! She was surprised at my inte..intell-ect. Intellect!
Saying that I'm quite ahead of the other kids,"Sankan was talking with
such enthusiasm.
Giggling, Serena grinned widely and so were the others around him.
Not one of the pilots or Hotaru moved as they listened to Sankan speak.
"You are ahead of the other kids and I see that they taught you a bunch
of new words also. As if your vocabulary isn't enough,"chuckled Hotaru.
"He is quite advanced for his age. Tell me, how did you
manage to raise him this way?"Dr. J asked as he and the other scientists
came along.
"Easy, the pilots, Hotaru, and I have taught him.."smirked Serena as she
stood from her kneeling position.
(That and other stuff..but I won't get into that yet..)noted Serena as the
immortal gazed hard at the doctors.
"Did a great job raising such a young and innocent boy. I applaud
you all,"a small sound of clapping echoed in the quiet space.
"We want to test that child, Sankan. To see if.."began Dr. O.
"No. I know what you're planning and I won't subjegate my child
into this! I want him to be normal. Something that I haven't been
able to have since I was but a kid,"Serena denied them of their desire.
"I agree...if 06 doesn't want this done. Then so be it,"Dr. M agreed with
a nod from the others.
"What does the child want? Or do you deny him of that as
well?"Dr. H questioned.
Serena turned around to Sankan who was listening to their conversation
behind his mother. Bending down, Serena looked at Sankan straight in the
eye and spoke.
"Do you? Do you want to be tested by the doctors? If you do, Sankan.
It could mean a big change in your life. Do you want that?"Serena asked
him, her voice soft and filled with so much emotion.
"What..what will happen to me? Will it hurt?"Sankan asked, the vocalization
of his voice filled with worry.
"I can't say. All I know is this, I love you and I don't want you hurt
in any way. Whatever is going to happen to you with the doctors will
remain a secret. And..if you pass that test of theirs..your whole life
will change,"Serena informed her boy.
"Will I see you again?"Sankan inquired.
Smirking, Serena glanced at Dr. M her eyes holding wisdom and knowledge.
The glint in her eyes seemed to tell her something. That this
decision would alternate their life is she or he chose a different path. But
what decision would that be?
"To tell you the truth, Sankan. I don't know.."Serena turned back to
him.
"Then I choose no. I don't want to be away from you,"Sankan hugged her
again.
"He chooses no,"Serena glanced at the doctors who were frowning.
(I didn't want to be away from you either, Sankan.)Serena said to herself
and closed her eyes as she wrapped her hand around his body.
To be continued...
******************
Okay, I'll stop there. This is long enough already. At least to me
it is..my Print Preview told me this is like what...uhmm..*looks again*
10-11 pages long..so like yeah. ^^;; Longer than the other stories so
uhmm..heheh..#_# not much in here is there..except you're probably getting
the idea that Sankan will play an important role to the story. *whistles
innocently* Not telling how though. ^^ About DBZ and that Trunks/Serena
thing..hmm..them having a child? Sankan does slightly resemble Trunks
doesn't he? And his innocence resembles Serena. What could that mean?
a Saiyan and an immortal Lunarian? Well did I even say he had those
types of blood traits? *stares at them questioningly* Didn't, did I?
Oh well...you'll find out about that cute little guy later on. On who
he is exactly and where he comes from and how in the world such a
young boy has such a big brain! ^^
Now about Heero/Serena pairing. Only slight glimpses here and there,
same as the last story, isn't it? Or is it worse. Hmm..still wondering
about that. I'm working there though, so like yeah. But not making
a definate promise on the ending pairing, if there is one. *evil,
coniving, twisted, and mysterious smile on her face*
Gahh! Great, I'm starting to get writers block in my next chapter!
*blows a raspberry at her computer* *sulks* Don't worry, I just hope
I'll be able to continue what I was beginning to write. .

Death creeps into all of us. And here I shall say that
my heart mourns for you all. I don't own Sailor Moon for
the reason that my life doesn't contain the knowledge nor
the skill...or the money..to own it. That also complies for
the ownership of Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z.
Author's Notes: Hiya peoples!! I'm here once more to give you another
chapter of...the Sequel to Curse of Immortality!!
*clapping starts up and fades away*
Awww you really do like this story! *smiles*
Now then let's start the show! *goes away and to the
back* *there Cheska turns off the clapping machine*
***********
"Mama! Mama!"Sankan came running up to her, now a bit taller and around the
age of two.
"Sankan,"Serena bent down, her long golden hair flowing slightly.
Sankan reached up to her and hugged her and she, him.
"Will we always be together, mama?"Sankan whispered to her ear.
"Always,"Serena vowed.
~.~.~
"Mother!"an older Sankan shouted out to her, now sixteen years old.
Serena turned around and gazed at her son emotionlessly.
"Sankan.."Serena whispered out, tears began to gather around her eyes as
she realized who it was.
Her body was only appearing to be at the age of twenty-two. Her hair
slightly silver but mostly gold.
"Why are you leaving? Where are you going?"Sankan demanded.
"I'm sorry..so sorry..but I have to go,"Serena apologized, a tear dripping
from her left eye to her cheek.
"You promised me! You leave now?!"Sankan shouted.
"I'm sorry..it's for your own safety.."Serena cried out.
"For my own safety...it's always been that way! Please, take me
with you! I can take care of myself now! I'm old enough to
understand.."Sankan declared.
"No, Sankan. No..."Serena shook her head and began to walk away from
him.
"Mother! You promised me! You promised!"shouted Sankan at her back
and began to chase after her.
Serena turned around and was caught in an embrace by her son. His
lavender hair styled just like Trunk's and his lavender eyes a bit
darkened with hints of silver in them. He gazed at her square in the
eyes, it was suppressed of tears.
"You promised,"his voice was steady and in monotone as he said those
words to her.
"If..no when I get back Sankan..I promise you.."started Serena.
"No more promises, never promises.."Sankan shook his head.
"When I get back Sankan. I'll show you a spot somewhere on
Earth. There, I shall tell you what I have kept from you.
Will you wait for me? Till then?"Serena's voice was unsually calm as
she stared back at Sankan.
"Why can't I come?"Sankan asked.
"It is not your destiny.."Serena simply replied and pulled away from
him and continued on her journey.
"I'll wait. Till then...mother,"Sankan stood there and the rain
began.
~.~.~ Till that time..I shall wait. Forever I shall be here..until
you come back. To me. ~.~.~
Serena bolted up from her bed and stared around the dark room.
To her right was the crib that the guys brought along for Sankan.
He lay asleep, his face angelic and untroubled by the problems
surrounding him.
"It was so real.."Serena heaved a sigh of relief at seeing that she
was where she should be.
Meaning in the base of the Sanq Kingdom with her baby son, Sankan.
"I need to get some fresh air,"Serena sighed and threw the white covers
off of her body and stood up.
(How can that be in the dream? Everything is so clear, unhazy..as if
it was all real. Everything. From start to finish. What does this
mean?)Serena thought to herself as she strolled down the deserted
and dark, dimly lit corridors.
"Heero, you can come out now,"Serena sighed as she stopped momentarily
after sensing eyes boring onto her back.
"Hn."Heero grunted and revealed himself from the corner of the wall.
"I couldn't sleep,"Serena shrugged and began walking, this time
in sync with Heero Yuy.
"...."
"I've been thinking Heero..."Serena started but stopped herself.
"..hn."
"Whenever I'm around you..it's.."Serena sighed.
(What could she be wondering? Is she going to...?)Heero's mind was
at a whirl. Several possibilities that could pop up with the
next few words. But even as much as he hoped and wished, his
facade never altered.
"It's confusing and yet comforting. I'm just...not sure
what's going on these days.."Serena bowed her head and just watched
her feet as they kept moving forward.
(What is that suppose to mean? A good thing or bad?)Heero pondered.
"Tell me, when are you going to.."started Serena when footsteps
ahead of them began to come their way.
"You two should be in bed, but that's not my responsibility.
Is it?"Dr. M's voice carried over as her figure came in sight.
She wore her usual white lab coat and under it was a formal
business suit of purple and red. Her hair was neatly combed
and put up in a bun at the back. Light spectacles covered her
maroon eyes. Her dark eyes glinting from the slight light
available.
"Dr. M.."Serena's voice switched to monotone for the time being.
"Come with me, 06. 01 I hope you don't mind,"Dr. M ordered and
whirled around, turning towards a door nearby..about three doors
over.
Serena complied and followed after the doctor while Heero
just grunted in acceptance and went off.
*click*
The door shut in back of her and Dr. M leaned against a desk,
inspecting her princess and queen.
"I came back..that's obvious enough,"Serena stated.
"Yes, I do see that. The question is..how?"Dr. M questioned.
"That's what I'd like to know..."Serena sighed and walked
over to a pile of papers.
"It seems your destiny is not over yet. You still have a bunch
of work to do.."Dr. M smirked.
"Protecting, killing, maiming...it's practically the same to me.
In truth..after being the Protector and Princess of Light for
thousands of years..you grow tired of it. Have you, Sets? Are
you tired with life?"Serena interrogated.
"It's not in the job description to say when I can quit being the
Time Guardian. It doesn't say that I can just give up. No, Serena.
I value my job. Not many people are deemed the title of Sailor
Pluto. But there are days when I wish it wasn't my
duty. I admit that, but learn to appreciate what you have
and life will be easier on you,"Dr. M stated and took off her spectacles
and placed them in her lab pocket.
Silence followed.
"Hotaru fell in love.."Serena whispered out, her crystalline blue eyes
glazing over.
"She has, with a Gundam Piot no less,"Dr. M agreed.
"Hasn't she learned yet? Love is just..useless. It only gives
heartache,"Serena bitterly spat out, those eyes hardening at the mention
of heartache and love.
"How can you say that? You, dear princess, have known love
for centuries. Why now do you say that love is useless?"Dr. M questioned.
"It is! Love has given me nothing but pain! Those I love
die! I can't stand it anymore!"Serena shouted but not loud enough
for those outside to hear.
"You've been blessed to find more than one who has been faithful to
you to the very end. They died, for you,"Dr. M pointed out.
"They died..for me. So many have gotten killed because of me. I
can't let anyone else die. Those I have now must not perish. Never die.
I won't let it happen. Especially to Sankan,"Serena proclaimed.
"Sankan, your son. How is he?"Dr. M sighed contently.
"Well as can be, quite healthy and intelligent,"Serena smirked.
"He's growing quickly. Very quickly indeed..."Dr. M nodded knowingly.
(More quickly than you would think, my highness..)Dr. M noted in her head.
"Setsuna?"Serena called out, uncertainly.
"Yes?"Dr. M acknowledged.
"I had a dream. A very vivid dream...about Sankan,"Serena brought up.
"Dreams can tell you many things. They are a part of you, there is
usually truth to each one,"Dr. M uttered.
"Yes, I know. I would've asked Mars..but she's not here anymore.
And Mercury is gone as well as Neptune,"Serena pointed out.
"Tell me, princess.."Dr. M urged.
"In my dream...."and so Serena told the story over again from start
to finish. Each one carefully brought up with as much detail as she
could say.
"And that's what happened,"Serena ended.
"Yes, definately something to be considered,"Dr. M nodded in confirmation.
"So? What do you say?"Serena urged.
"..I'm afraid I can't tell you anything. But I can say this.
Be careful in your decisions,"Dr. M revealed and stood up straight
and opened the door and left.
"Thanks...Sets,"Serena didn't know what to tell her.
(She didn't say anything except that. Will it happen? I absolutely
have no clue...what to do or say..)Serena sighed and left as well..
but before she left she noticed a paper on the ground.
Bending down, she picked it up and read its contents. Her eyes
narrowed and then she set it down on the table alongside the
other ones and left.
Pilots,
Each one of you shall be placed into the University. From there
act as a regular student. Attend all school activities and participate.
That will be all. The enemy will be watching. That is a known
fact.
The doctors
************
Several hours after Dr. M and 06's conversation in that empty room,
all the pilots awakened. Sankan was still asleep and Hotaru just came
in through the door leading to the meeting room where the hidden
stair case was at.
"Today is the day,"Dr. J announced to the pilots.
"Hn."Wufei grunted, his arms folded.
"We're leaving today?"Hotaru wanted to make sure.
"Yes, that is true,"Dr. G answered.
"Classes will start tomorrow, today you'll be receiving your
schedules and co-ed dormitories.
"Co-ed? How come?"questioned Wufei.
"That's just how the University was made when Miss Peacecraft
had it built,"Dr. M's eyes flashed a lighter shade of marron for
a brief moment.
"Should've known,"scowled Wufei.
"Well no problems on that situation with me!"Duo enlightened and
put his arms behind his head.
"Are the Gundams ready yet?"Serena brought up.
"Soon.."Dr. O hastily replied.
"And me?"Serena wondered, referring to the University and Academy
of age differences.
"You shall be placed in the University. I'll somehow
get you in..."Dr. M told the 06 pilot.
Serena nodded and then stayed silent after awhile.
"What about the knowledge of Serena's death? How do we explain
that?"Hotaru muttered.
"Easy, Hotaru..."Serena piped up.
All eyes fell on her to explain this problem.
"You all only believed that I died. There was no body to be
found, was there? Just say that there was a slight misinformation
over that event.."Serena smirked.
"...there's a teensy bit of a problem in your solution.."Duo sighed.
Serena stared at him, expectantly.
"We were all there at that time and place! We saw you go!"Duo exclaimed.
"Did you? I recall a slight flash of light before her disappearance.."Dr. M
interfered.
Everyone was silent.
"I guess it's settled in, Serena shall remain as existent to this
world,"Dr. M nodded in approval along with the other doctors.
"When do we leave today?"Quatre politely inquired.
"At noon,"Dr. G told them all.
"And Sankan? Will you take care of him while I'm away?"Serena
asked.
"Of course...Pri...Serena,"Dr. M smiled mysteriously and drifted
off from the room and down the hallway.
"Meeting adjourned,"Dr. J slightly chuckled at having to say that
and went away as well.
*********
Serena came back to the room that she and Sankan shared. Sankan was
already out of his crib and sitting on the floor with a stuffed animal
of a wolf in his arms. Upon entering, his eyes swiveled over to her
and a big grin spread across his face. Those lavender eyes of his
lighting up.
"Mama!"Sankan exclaimed and ran greet her.
"Sankan, I have to tell you something,"Serena's voice was firm and
yet hesitant.
"Yo-You're leaving, aren't you?"Sankan saddened as he brought up the
topic that she was about to mention.
"Yes, I am.."Serena nodded.
"Am I coming also?"Sankan asked.
"...I'm afraid..not,"Serena frowned and felt guilty.
"Who will take care of me?"Sankan kindly asked.
"Dr. M will and I'm sure the other doctors will too. Dr. M
most of all, she's a great friend of mine,"Serena answered.
"Will you be back?"Sankan asked.
"Of course I will..."Serena smiled.
"As long as you'll come back and never truly leave me,
mommy,"Sankan hugged her, dropping the stuffed animal to the ground
in the process.
"I'll always come back, for you.."Serena whispered in his ear.
**********
The pilots and Hotaru arrived that day over at the University. It
was well...larger than they would've thought. Twelve stories high
and about five acres wide. There were a total of five buildings the
color of light peach..almost white and in a circular placement. There
were bridges leading from the center to each of the surrounding buildings with
the center as the main area. The 'bridges' had a solid ground to it
but the top and sides were made out of glass, from there you could make
out people walking along it.
"Miss Relena sure did a great job making this University. There must
be a bridge to every floor!"exclaimed Quatre in awe.
"There is one..except for the ground floor that is. It starts
at the third floor and goes up from there with the exception of the
twelvth(sp?) floor,"Dr. M/Setsuna Meiou
informed as she strolled over to their way.
"If you're here, Miss Meiou..where's Ben?"inquired Hotaru as the group
approached them.
"At the base with Dr. G I believe,"Setsuna Meiou answered.
"I see.."Serena nodded her head.
"If you follow me, I shall lead you to my office,"Setsuna turned around
and entered inside the Center Building. From there, there was a large
wide space to it. A capacious map greeted their faces as it stood, surrounded
by a metal rail and some flowers at the edge. The map was color coated, the
Center Building..or Central as it was named was the color Red and the
four buildings to it had names as well. To the right of where they stood
is a building called Virtue. At the front is Belief. Bottom building
is Base and the left is Opt. Virtue is the the color of blue while
Belief is green, Base appeared silver/gray, and Opt has violet. There
were some descriptions on ideas of what is in each of the building as well
but before any of them had the chance to completely go through with it,
Setsuna Meiou ushered them away from the map and towards their left.
There were two sides in that main location. A huge block of a wall
was located near the map. There were two walls surrounding them
in that center. The walls held six elevator doors. And Setsuna ushered
them into one which just opened up to let them in.
Inside the elevator the metal colored gold welcomed the group. Setsuna
pressed a hidden botton as she opened a compartment just under the
numbers. When she pressed it, it glowed a dark green color and
a symbol of a crown lightly appeared then vanished. As the doors
closed, the elevator ascended upwards.
"Some University this is,"commented Duo grinning.
"Relena Peacecraft decided to build larger learning facility and
went with a University as her main concern,"Setsuna stated.
"And what's with the names of the buildings?"querked Hotaru.
"Ahh..yes, those. Well each establishment holds a certain style
that resembles the Sanq Kingdom. Take Central. This one keeps
the heart, it houses the dorm rooms and the dean's office as well as
other areas. This also has the library on the ground floor. There
are others in the adjoining buildings but this library has
important documents concerning personal beliefs and political
paperworks. Such as Peacecraft intuitions, the war that ended a few
years ago, etc.
As you have found out, the dorms here are co-ed. Yes, that is
true. It's the way Relena Peacecraft has appointed it to be as.
Those who don't wish to be housed in the same rooms as the opposite
sex must stay in a seperate location..and that is miles away
from here. Some do choose that and because of that they either
come late or get here extra early. Too much of a bother, if you
ask me. Ahh..here we are...the thirteenth floor. The Dean's
office,"uttered Setsuna and stepped outside where a red carpet
received them. Oak wooden doors with designs of moon phases
was at the end. Two tall orchid plants of white with pink
tips lay on opposite ends of the doors. As Setsuna reached the
end, she stopped and waited with patience.
The elevator closed in back of them as they stepped back and the elevator
descended downwards. Setsuna opened the grand doors and
went inside her large office room. Three chairs were placed
in front of the Dean's commodius desk. But none of the pilots
nor Hotaru sat down and neither did Setsuna. For a few seconds,
she was content on observing them as she gazed at their figures
under those visible spectacles of hers that slightly covered
her dark marroon eyes.
"Now then,"Setsuna began and picked up pieces of paper that
lay on the desk,"Here are your schedules and dorm rooms."
Taking hers, Serena glanced at the white sheet.

Time: 1 = 8:30 - 10:00a.m. (Mon. - Wed.)
2 = 10:40 - 11:10a.m. (Mon. - Thurs.)
3 = 12:50 - 2:20p.m. (Tues. - Fri.)
4 = 10:20 - 11:35a.m. (Fri. - Sat.)
5 = 12:50 - 1:50p.m. (Mon. & Fri. & Sat.)
6 = 8:30 - 9:45a.m. (Thrs. - Sat.)
Finally, after reviewing the time and subjects she focused her
attention back on Setsuna Meiou.
"You made this, didn't you?"Hotaru pointed out after studying the material.
"Good guess, that is correct,"Setsuna nodded her head in reply.
"Why this?"questioned Duo.
"No reason, just something I was thinking about,"Setsuna shrugged and
leaned against the edge of the mahogany desk.
"Aww man, classes on Saturday! That's just wrong,"whined Duo.
"Just shut up, Maxwell.."Wufei growled.
"All of you have almost the same classes. Practically period by
period. The only difference is that you have an alternation of dorm
rooms but you are all on the same level,"explained Setsuna.
"Tell us, Miss Meiou. Clue us in on the situation of those
buildings,"brought up Quatre.
"Yes, that. Well you already know about the Central. It's also
where the students gather for the cafeteria, of course, this is open
campus as well. Though not quite public..it's a private university.
Now then..the cafeteria is on the second and third floor. There is
also an eating ground among the garden areas located
a few blocks from this main area about a mile away from the
stables and two miles away from the forest grounds.
What else? Uhmm..the one called Virtue is a class building that is about
morality in the Sanq. That is where musicals are held along with band,
drama, clubs, computers, etc. Base is basically along the lines of History,
Culture, Science, Economics, and so on; this is the basis and historical
marks of the Sanq Kingdom where the foundations are built upon. Belief is
the one that Miss Relena Peacecraft holds most dear. That is the head of
the University. It prizes pacifism..at least to her. Belief witholds
Politics and Mathematics mostly. And that comes up to the last, Opts.
Opts is just what it is to make a choice. Choices that individuals have chosen.
Just like Fencing, not exactly peaceful but it's there. Along with other
physical sports just like football, basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton,
swimming..all those and it has other types of classes. Such as home
economics, health, fashion, etc. That's what those classes
have,"lectured Setsuna Meiou.
"Okay, I think I get it,"Duo slowly commented.
"Now then, that's all there is to this school. Before I let you
go, in your dormitories your uniforms are in your closets. And the
weapons you may need are also hidden away in there. That's it I
suppose. Your mission still stands: act like normal students. Don't
worry about the enemy, its around. It always is,"Setsuna added and then
dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
Turning around they marched off back to the elevator and pressed the
down button. As the group waited, they compared classes and found out
that Setsuna was right. They practically had the same classes. Only
about two-three of them wouldn't be around in the music, econmics, and/or
fencing. Hotaru wouldn't be in the fencing and music, she took up health
instead of fencing and had landscaping other than music. Wufei
chose computers other than music and decided against economics with
Physiology. The third one turned out to be Duo who dropped music and
went with Hotaru in the health issue. Besides the three of them, everyone
had congruent schedules.
"Well there goes the elevator. Let's check out the dormitories,"suggested
Duo and went in. After everyone filed in, the braided boy pressed 12 and
the contraption descended to the 12th level. It opened and they stared around.
Some students were walking around the area and in their arrival, some chose to
glimpse at the lot. Others ignored.
"You're new here, aren't you? I'm Tira, roomed over at #10 of this 12th
station,"Tira greeted them.
"Hn."Heero and Wufei grunted in greeting while Trowa was silent and just
nodded his head upon acknowledgement.
(Don't get too close. It's unnecessary to make new acquaintences.)a voice
protested inside Serena's mind.
Serena didn't say anything but silently stared at Tira. She was around
5ft. 6 with waist length, raven colored hair and deep ocean blue eyes as well
as a slightly tanned complextion. Her slim figure and long legs would appear
to allow her easy access during sports mostly around the track or hurdles.
"Hi Tira. Don't mind my companions, they're not much on social
standards. I'm Hotaru, this is my boyfriend Duo Maxwell. My best
friend Serena Tsukino. These are my other close friends: Quatre,
Trowa, Heero, and Wufei,"Hotaru greeted with a smile.
"Nice to meet all of you, do you need any help getting settled in?
Showed around?"suggested Tira.
"No thanks, we're just checking out our rooms but we'll be completely
here by tomorrow. That's when our classes start. Just received our
schedules today and the Dean told us everything we need to know
about this place,"Hotaru politely declined the offer.
"Oh..well do you know about the way the school runs?"asked Tira.
"Like what?"Quatre inquired.
"Well, for one...this University is mainly based on pacifisms
because of Miss Relena. Another is that the students here are a
bit edgy whenever it comes to competition day,"Tira informed them.
"Competition Day?"mimicked Hotaru.
"Yes, Competition Day. That's when all the students compete.
Some don't even bother to but mostly everyone does. You see if
the top three winners get in followed by the other top two runner
ups below them are in...they get to receive another bunch of
credits in all their classes. And that's alot!"Tira exclaimed.
"What about the credits?"Serena finally spoke but in monotone.
"The credits are important to this school. If you get in those
top five areas...you're shoed in on getting pass your subjects.
For all of them. The problem is..Competition Day is hard!
Especially the last three courses,"Tira explained.
"What's the last three courses?"inquired Duo.
"Well it always changes every year so we're not too sure but we know
for the fact that the last one is the same. You see there's this
machine you go into...from there it goes completely different for
everyone. I'm not too sure what it is or what it does. But that's
where you face the inner you, kinda creepy isn't it? We all know
though that no matter how much it pains you to enter that machine,
it won't hurt you after you face it,"Tira uttered.
"When is this Competition Day?"asked Quatre.
"It goes on twice a year..at the end of each semester. You just
missed the first one, the second won't be around till...June.
Just three months to go, seeing that it's April now,"smirked Tira.
"We'll be going now,"Serena stated and started off with the others
in tow.
"Weird bunch.."Tira muttered and went off into the elevator and
descended down.
"That was cold,"Hotaru stated to Serena as she caught up with her.
"It's just a trigger..."Serena apologized and noticed the door
nearby.
"I'm roomed with you,"Heero monotoned and took out the card key that
went along with their schedule. He took the liberty to open the door
and came inside.
"See you guys later,"Serena waved them off and entered.
Inside, it was about the size of a two bedroom apartment. The
bedrooms were right next to each other and the bathroom right
across from those two rooms. There was a closet at the front of the
doorway and the kitchen, if you chose to use it, was around the left
side form the bedrooms. The living room is right there
in front of the closet and slightly placed near the right side
of the bedrooms.
"Not too bad,"commented Serena and checked the living room closet.
It was small but not too small and there was a minute compartment
at the back of the wall of the hangers. Slightly curious, Serena
leaned in and rapped in it, it was hollow. As she studied the compartment
closer, she noticed a niche at the left side and pulled. There was a
small doorway and opening it wider there was a box placed there and a note.
I knew you'd somehow find this: Serena. Heero.
Inside the box are four guns just for you two in case you need it with
spare cartridges. Use them wisely.
Dr. M
Smirking, Serena lay the note back and closed the compartment back up.
Then closed the door as well. Heero stood right in front of her,
his face expressionless.
"Dr. M placed guns for us in a secret compartment over at the closet,"informed
Serena.
"Hn."grunted Heero and entered his supposed bedroom.
Following his example, Serena entered hers. Her heart stopped from shock.
Dr. M no Setsuna Meiou no..Sailor Pluto took the time to decorate hers.
This brought her to near tears as she surveyed the bedroom. It exactly
resembled her room before..Sailor Moon and around her Sailor Moon stage.
The exact same copy with the exception of the laptop that stood motionless
on her desk along with the other minor details.
"Thank you...Sets,"Serena lightly smiled and walked over to her closet.
Opening it resulted to her seeing the uniforms she was suppose to wear.
It was slightly shocking to say the least. Knee length blue with a
white shirt and a light blue blazer over. The shoes were black and
could echo among the tiles..if there were any.
"At least it isn't...pink,"smirked Serena and closed the glass
closet once more.
Turning around, Serena glimpsed at Heero who waited for her outside
the doorway.
"How do you like the uniforms?"Serena conversed.
"Hn."Heero grunted.
"Same here. No complaints...it's better than last time, at
least,"Serena grinned and then walked out of her room and back to the
living room.
"Need to get back,"Heero uttered in the same tone.
"Right,"Serena opened the door and shut it after Heero stepped out.
Together the two made their way back to the base which took some time.
By the time they got back, night time arrived.
***********
"Mama!"Sankan greeted her at the stairway.
Serena bent down and hugged her son to him, she was so happy to see
him again.
"How did you like it today?"Serena asked.
"Great! The doctors taught me so many things today! They were shocked
when they found out I only turned one just a few months ago! They said
something about me being quite ad..advanced!"Sankan blurted out to her.
"And then?"Serena pressed for more information.
"And then they asked me questions if I knew this or that. I answered
yes to most of them and they started murmering to each other,"Sankan
continued.
(They better not do something I disapprove of.)noted Serena as she
appeared with a smiling face but a frowning one inside.
"Did the doctors make you take any sort of tests?"Serena asked.
"Uh..well they were going to put me in this thing they called
a sim..simu..simulat..or..simulator! But then..Dr. M came in and
stopped them saying I was too young and shouldn't be put under such..
such..pressure,"Sankan said.
"Good for her, Sankan. What happened afterwards?"Serena asked.
"Well when Dr. M came she brought me with her and started
staring at me..as if she was inspecting me or something. Then she nodded
her head as if de..debating. She said something about not from
around here and then a smile appeared on her face. I guess she noticed
I was there or something or came up with a reason for something I don't
know. But whatever it was, she acted as if she didn't do any of those things
in front of me and gave me what is called...candy. It tastes
yummy mommy! Candy! She was surprised at my inte..intell-ect. Intellect!
Saying that I'm quite ahead of the other kids,"Sankan was talking with
such enthusiasm.
Giggling, Serena grinned widely and so were the others around him.
Not one of the pilots or Hotaru moved as they listened to Sankan speak.
"You are ahead of the other kids and I see that they taught you a bunch
of new words also. As if your vocabulary isn't enough,"chuckled Hotaru.
"He is quite advanced for his age. Tell me, how did you
manage to raise him this way?"Dr. J asked as he and the other scientists
came along.
"Easy, the pilots, Hotaru, and I have taught him.."smirked Serena as she
stood from her kneeling position.
(That and other stuff..but I won't get into that yet..)noted Serena as the
immortal gazed hard at the doctors.
"Did a great job raising such a young and innocent boy. I applaud
you all,"a small sound of clapping echoed in the quiet space.
"We want to test that child, Sankan. To see if.."began Dr. O.
"No. I know what you're planning and I won't subjegate my child
into this! I want him to be normal. Something that I haven't been
able to have since I was but a kid,"Serena denied them of their desire.
"I agree...if 06 doesn't want this done. Then so be it,"Dr. M agreed with
a nod from the others.
"What does the child want? Or do you deny him of that as
well?"Dr. H questioned.
Serena turned around to Sankan who was listening to their conversation
behind his mother. Bending down, Serena looked at Sankan straight in the
eye and spoke.
"Do you? Do you want to be tested by the doctors? If you do, Sankan.
It could mean a big change in your life. Do you want that?"Serena asked
him, her voice soft and filled with so much emotion.
"What..what will happen to me? Will it hurt?"Sankan asked, the vocalization
of his voice filled with worry.
"I can't say. All I know is this, I love you and I don't want you hurt
in any way. Whatever is going to happen to you with the doctors will
remain a secret. And..if you pass that test of theirs..your whole life
will change,"Serena informed her boy.
"Will I see you again?"Sankan inquired.
Smirking, Serena glanced at Dr. M her eyes holding wisdom and knowledge.
The glint in her eyes seemed to tell her something. That this
decision would alternate their life is she or he chose a different path. But
what decision would that be?
"To tell you the truth, Sankan. I don't know.."Serena turned back to
him.
"Then I choose no. I don't want to be away from you,"Sankan hugged her
again.
"He chooses no,"Serena glanced at the doctors who were frowning.
(I didn't want to be away from you either, Sankan.)Serena said to herself
and closed her eyes as she wrapped her hand around his body.
To be continued...
******************
Okay, I'll stop there. This is long enough already. At least to me
it is..my Print Preview told me this is like what...uhmm..*looks again*
10-11 pages long..so like yeah. ^^;; Longer than the other stories so
uhmm..heheh..#_# not much in here is there..except you're probably getting
the idea that Sankan will play an important role to the story. *whistles
innocently* Not telling how though. ^^ About DBZ and that Trunks/Serena
thing..hmm..them having a child? Sankan does slightly resemble Trunks
doesn't he? And his innocence resembles Serena. What could that mean?
a Saiyan and an immortal Lunarian? Well did I even say he had those
types of blood traits? *stares at them questioningly* Didn't, did I?
Oh well...you'll find out about that cute little guy later on. On who
he is exactly and where he comes from and how in the world such a
young boy has such a big brain! ^^
Now about Heero/Serena pairing. Only slight glimpses here and there,
same as the last story, isn't it? Or is it worse. Hmm..still wondering
about that. I'm working there though, so like yeah. But not making
a definate promise on the ending pairing, if there is one. *evil,
coniving, twisted, and mysterious smile on her face*
Gahh! Great, I'm starting to get writers block in my next chapter!
*blows a raspberry at her computer* *sulks* Don't worry, I just hope
I'll be able to continue what I was beginning to write. .
