Fav. Quote of the Week:
"So," Eriol said casually, rubbing his hands together. "Let me get this straight. You demolished an animatronic piece of machinery worth possible thousands, assaulted a well-known and beloved character, and leveled Sleeping Beauty's palace—all within twenty-four hours."
"Well, um…" Sakura stalled. "Uh, yeah."
There was a pause, and then he said, "You know, I think you're finally starting to get the hang of it."

Chapter 3: Rivals and Death
~*~ Sakura's Room ~*~
Sakura sat and looked at the diary Setsuna had gave her.
'I wonder what I wrote...'
She slowly picked it up and opened the cover to the first page.
^^^Dear Diary,
~June 30
Syaoran gave you to me for my birthday. He wrote on the tag, 'To my one and only Ying Fa.' He's so sweet. I love him so much and he said that when we turn 18 we can get married.To think so far ahead makes me wonder.What will my life be like then? I'll probally be so tall and pretty. I hope I grow up to look like Okaa-san. She's so beautiful and she can make men melt with her smiles. She is pretty and popular. Of course, If I grew up to be my Aunt, I'd be perfecly happy. Sere-sama is pretty to and popular too. She used to be High Queen but then my Mom took over. Chibi-Usa, her daughter, is my best friend.Oh my! Someone's at the window! What's going on!? It's a Black Night Senshi.I must run! Oh Syaoran is here. Thank God. I-^^^
And that was it. She now knew what happened. Tears fell on the page.
"Sakura..?" A soft voice questioned her. She looked up adruptly to find a pair of auburn eyes.
"Thank you...I know you tried..." He looked at her oddly and she handed him the book. He opened it and read the page.His eyes became sad as he rememberd the last moments and sat beside her. He hugged her and she sobbed into his shoulder.
*taptaptap* Sakura froze, afraid to look up. Syaoran looked over to the window to find the same Black Night Senshi tapping at it. He stood up and transformed,
"Black Pluto Power, Makeup!" He transformed, and pulled a sword out of thin air. His ouitfit was a dark green long sleeve with a sailor collar, and pair of dark red slacks. Instead of a tiara, he wore a headband wih the symbol of Pluto on it.
"Ah..I see the little Pluto boy has grown up..." Sailor Black Crinso said wickedly, "Here to defend your princess again?" Another Senshi jumped through the window, with a great sword.
"You better believe it." He stood protectively in front of Sakura.
'Sakura call the Senshi!'
She looked at him bewildered.
'You can talk in my head?!'
'YES! Now call them!'
"You will always remember the names, Crinso and Midnight!" and they rushed forward.
She fumbled with the communicator. 'Oh...'
~*~ Mei-ling's Room ~*~
"You know, Sakura is falling back in love with Syaoran.." commented Mei-ling smiling and brushed her hair.
"I know," said Chibi-Usa, drawing a design of a costume for Mei-ling.
"You know..I hate it when you do that..you remind me of how Tomoyo was with Sakura.." Mei-Ling sighed and remembered poor Sakura's face when Tomoyo made her first "renovation" to her senshi fuku.
'BEEPBEEP' Both girls looked down at thier communicators.
'GUYS!! It's me! HELP!!' The two girls looked up and whispered in unison. "Sakura..."
"Pink Moon Power, MAKE-UP!!"
"Red Mars Power, MAKE-UP!!"
Chibi-Moon rushed out followed closely by Chibi-Mars. They met the others in the hall minus Syaoran, Crystal and Sere.
"Pluto Night Flash!"
"Shadow Wall!"
"NOOOOOO!!!"
Two winged beings flashed by and a gasp was heard.
~*~ Sakura's Room ~*~
The Scene was like this.Sakura was pinned to the wall by small ice daggers. Sailor Crinso was standing in the middle holding a bow and loading an arrow.Her partner, Sailor Black Midnight, was holding her sword to Sailor Chibi Pluto's neck.
Sailor Eternal Moon and Sailor Eternal Cosmos stood bewildered by the scene.
"SAKURA!"
The arrow left with a twang and time seemed to slow as it grew closer and-
"NOOOOO! OKAA-SAN!!" Cosmos had jumped in front of Sakura and the arrow had pierced her heart. Sailor Crinso backed up, seemingly horiffied.
Sere collaped to the ground, a horrified look on her face. A gold light lept from Cosmos's to Sakura's body.
A brooch appeared in Sakura's hands and she held it up to the sky.
"The prophecy...NO!"
Crinso rushed forward to be stopped by an invisible shield.
"ETERNAL PINK COSMOS POWER, MAKE-UP!!"
Pink and golden light surrounded her and ribbons wound around her body. Rainbow wings sprung from her back.A gold, pink and silver staff appeared in her hand and she held it in front of her. Her eyes were golden. She held up her staff and twirled it around and over her head, as she rose off the ground.
"Eternal Cosmos Rage..." She stopped her staff and held it high above her head as she said the first words. She brought it down to waist level and a large ball of light and small shards appeared in front of it. "TSUNAMI!!!!" Small butterflies and crystals surrounded it as it made it's way toward Sailor Black Midnight and Sailor Black Crinso. Crinso jumped out of the way, but Black Midnight was not so fortunate. As the shards tore her body, and the light turned the rest to ash, she uttered her last words.
"You lied Crinso...It matters." And Sakura held up her staff.
"Crinso...You know why she said that.You knows that who you are matters." The scared little girl on the stage was gone. In her place a Queen stood. A legend. A messiah. A hope for the worlds.
She closed her eyes and a shadow surrounded her body, then separated from it. A woman with brown hair and emerald eyes appeared. With her coming, the pair from before appeared also. But someone new was with them. A small 13-year old girl. Silver hair and jade eyes. The little girl floated over to Sakura and touched her finger to the burning Cosmos symbol.Her eyes flahed gold and she smiled.
Meanwhile, the woman hugged the man and tears flowed down her face like rivers of joy. But they never touched the ground for ghost tears are not solid to us and as soon as they leave the ghost they turn into a shard of invisible crystal.From which heart crystals are born. (A/N: I feel like I'm writing a myth here...)
"I am not that person anymore. I'm different." said Crinso backing away.
The little girl giggled and said, "I am home." Her body became translucent and she faded into Sakura's body. Mind and Body were reunited.
"You lie." Sakura's eyes opened and now they were emerald again. Her staff grew a pair of wings at the top and star sprouted also. For the auburn-haired lady was feeding her powers to Sakura. A strange power of long ago.
"I give my powers of the cards to the Incarnation of my soul.
53 I give to thee.All but one is whole.
Catch them all. Rein them in.
And the last card you shall win."
As the unknown woman finished her incantation, she disappeared. Her friends disappeared also and Sakura held up the staff.She looked so deathly serene.
"My memories. Hope. All we need is hope to defeat the Black Night Senshi. We need the light of hope."
All the older senshi turned to Sailor Eternal Moon.
"Your dreams are Eternal. Sailor Moon."
"Not anymore. My sister has died because of my light of hope. No.Never Again."
"The new messiah will reveal herself at her time." said Sakura. She turned to Crinso.
"The light is warm Crinso."
~*~ Somewhere in this Universe ~*~
"NO! She can not be turned again! Black Nyanko! Black Jewel! STOP THE PROPHECY!!"
~*~Elsewhere in the universe ~*~
"Our light of hope!"
"The prophecy of the ancients!"
"WHITE NIGHT SAILOR TELEPORT!"
5 beams of light dissapear into the sky. A voice is heard ringing through the stars of the universe.
"When you find the Holy Messiah.."
It rang off pureness and holiness...It was the one who prophesized the coming of all messiahs in thier culture. Sailor White Light. The first senshi of thier system and the most powerful senshi that ever or will ever live.Until now.
~*~ Crystal Tokyo ~*~
"It's alright Crinso. The light.It's warm. The darkness is cold. Come to the light. Come to the warmth." Sakura held out her hand and slowly Crinso reached forward and took her hand.
"The Holy Messiah...It is you who can heal the one who fled to darkness in a time of plight."
"Me..?" Sakura seemed surprised. "But I am just a princess...Not a messiah."
"No..you are much more." Crinso closed her eyes and a light spread from Sakura's body to hers and her fuku changed from black to white and seemingly so did her attitude change from evil to good.
"NO! Sailor Black Crinso! Come to us." Sailor Black Nyanko and Sailor Black Jewel suddenly appeared with a flash of black. Sailor Black Nyanko and Sailor Black Jewel reached forward as to stop Crinso from changing and being healed.
Crinso's eyes flew open and they became hardened jade in the light.
"NO! NEVER AGAIN!" A blast issued from her and a pure heart crystal came forth. It glittered brightly and Sere began to cry.
"It's not worth it Sailor White Crinso. Not for the Messiah or anyone. I know. They end up being killed."
The White Night Senshi, who had just arrived surveyed the scene.
"She came back to us. At least she will die for good instead of evil." said one a pink haired senshi. They all nodded.
"HEART'S LIGHT EXTINGUISH!!!"
Crinso's heart crystal exploded. A star faded in the heavens as her star seed came out of her and dulled then cracked.The Golden Crystal dimmed as her dream mirror shattered. The evil senshi were gone and moon dust was swept away by a breeze out the window.
----Shattered dreams. Broken hearts.
A star dims in the heavens as you pass away.
Never Again you say.
Never Again. Never Again.--
Sere watched with a dull ache in her heart. 'Another soul lost.'
--But your friends cry and mourn.
A noble death you died.
But it'll be hard to say goodbye.
Goodbye my friend.--
'Dream and hopes that could of saved our world.'
--You leave a past behind.
One that will last forever.
Always remembered.
I hate to say goodbye.--
'For the messiah you gave up your hope. To her.'
--But don't forget you have that past that lasts forever.
When your star is gone forever.
Memories never die.
Now I say Goodbye.----
'Noblity beyond birth and rank. Nobility of the Heart.' Serenity shed one tear. ' Kindness to complete strangers. I thank you. '
A ghost watched them unnoticed. Her auburn and red hair floated in a invisible wind. Her jade eyes were filled with tears. 'Thank you Serenity. I've been granted all I ever wanted. Someone's approval.' She disappeared and her tears formed a glittering heart crystal which soon disappeared.
"Serenity! NO!" The White Night Senshi rushed forward to catch Sere. She was pale and seemed confused but calm.
"The Moon and Cosmos are closely linked. If one dies the other soon follows," One of the White Night Senshi explained, "Sere is going to die and nothing can be done."
"NO!" Everyone turned to find an enraged pink senshi.
"My okaa-san will not die." Her voice weakened and Sakura detranformed to her princess dress and rushed to Usa, her face no longer queen-like but more suitable to a princess.
"She can't....." Usa crumpled as her mother's breath became shallower and shallower.
"...No..." As the queen's body grew limp the sobbing princesses made the only sound.
The White Night Senshi gathered around her body. They mourned the fallen queens for a few moments, seemingly ~part of the crowd~. But suddenly Haruka looked up and glared at them.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The seeming leader stood up. She wore a purple and white fuku. She had lavender hair and silver eyes.
"I'm Sailor White Crystal. I'm the leader of the White Night Senshi, Sworn enemy of the Black Night Senshi.This is my senshi guardian, Sailor White Nyanko. "
She gestured to the senshi to her right. She had sky blue hair and eerie yellow eyes. She held a small staff with a golden ball at the end that rotated slowly in place. Her senshi fuku was gold and white.
"This is Sailor White Lily."
A senshi stood up. Her hair was a golden and her eyes were the purest blues. She seemed the opposite of Sailor White Nyanko by facial standards. Nyanko's was lithe and exotic while Lily's face seemed a bit plain. She seemed a bit ditzy at first glance, but she had a sense of tragicness and sorrow in her eyes. Her fuku was sky blue and white.
"And Sailor White Blossom."
A senshi in a pink and white fuku arose. She had hair of the lightest shade of pink and reddish brown eyes. She resembled Chibi-Usa in her appearance.
"And lastly, Sailor White Hope."
A frail senshi stood up. She wore a silver and white fuku. She carried a golden scythe and harp.
Sakura stood up.
"As the New Queen of this Solar system, I welcome you. Introductions will have to come later for time is of the essence. What happened here? I don't understand why they wanted to kill me."
"You are the-" started Sailor White Nyanko.
"No...she will learn of her identity in due time." interrupted Sailor White Hope. Sailor White Hope stared at Sakura like she was second-guessing her. Her eyes narrowed then her face relaxed into a wide smile.
"Greetings Neo-Queen Cosmos.Can we ask a favor of you?" said a solemn Sailor White Lily. her eyes were happy now.
"Of course." On the outside Sakura was calm, but inside she was a mass of writhing nerves. 'Why are they here? If they wanted to help, why not come sooner?'
"Can we please stay at your palace while we explain ourselves?"
"Certainly." Sakura smiled at them and led them in. She had them directed to thier rooms to be confronted by the Chibi Senshi.
"Sakura! You have your memories back!" She was hugged by everyone but Chibi-Usa and Syaoran. They stood off to the side, seeming akward in thier demeanor. (A/N: That's a vocabulary word there! *grins proudly*)
"Syaoran?" The Chibi Senshi parted to let Sakura toward him.
"Sakura..." He looked up and smiled sadly.
"Oh Syao-chan! I missed you!" She ran at him and flung her arms round him. He looked shocked but then warmly hugged her back.
"I missed you too.."
~*~ That night ~*~
Chibi-Usa sat on her balcony, looking up at the moon. A tear slid slowly down her cheek.
"Momma..okaa-san..."
She stared at the stars blankly.
A few balconies over, Michuri and Haruka were looking at the Moon too.
"It's so pretty tonight. But it looks just a little odd. Like it has a secret no one can find." contemplated Michuri
Haruka just nodded and hugged Michuri.
~*~ In the Morning ~*~
"SAKURA! GET OVER HERE!" All of the Queens were running after Sakura and Syaoran. It was chaos. And if you asked any of the Queens why they were doing it, They would just say "Family Reasons"
"Syaoran! Don't make me ground you." Setsuna said fiercely.
"Like I care!" Syaoran ran faster and Sakura grinned. 'Just a little further and we'll be there!'
"Sakura! I'll revoke your chocolate privleges." said Rei.
"Same for you Syaoran!" They both stood stock still in front of the Door of Time.
"NO CHOCOLATE PRIVELEGES!?!?!" Sakura wailed. Syoran was sweating hard and shaking.
"Alright. You got us..." sighed Syaoran.
"That's the last time we let you two have Ice Cream before breakfast.Never ever are you two to go through the Gate of Time without my permission!" said a furious Setsuna.
"I'm the Queen of the Solar System and I stilll can't have ice cream before breakfast..." said an out of breath Sakura. "Not fair..."
"Sure...Whatever...As long as we aren't chasing you at 7 in the morning again, I'm fine." said a groggy Makoto.
"I just want chocolate. Let's go get some chocolate custard donuts Sakura." Sakura and Syaoran walk off leaving the tired Queens behind.
~*~ That Afternoon ~*~
"I see...Well could you tell us why you're here?" Sakura held out her hand invitingly. She smiled.
"We are...searching for the Holy Messiah."
"Oh. Crinso called me that before she died.I...didn't know why she called me that."
"She did?..." 'crap'
"Yes..and she said I was more then a princess."
"Baka Crinso."
"What's wrong with Crinso?"
"...Nothing Your Highness."
"Oh, I wish you wouldn't call me that!"
"It is your rank so we will call you that." said Sailor White Hope quietly.
"I suppose...If you must."
"We must your highness.But now time is of the essence. The Black Night Senshi are building thier forces quickly." explained Sailor White Blossom.
"We all are in grave danger, you most of all!"
"They will kill you soon, before your true power has a chance to be unleashed."
They were worried and she knew. But she was convinced that as long as her kingdom was safe, she was fine. She thought of her kingdom before herself, but yet...
"There is no time! WE must unleash you power before it is too late!"
"How?"
"By the only means we have...putting someone you love in danger. This will unleash you power."
"..."

A/N: YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I'm done! COOLBEANS! (smiles)

Sakura sat and looked at the diary Setsuna had gave her.
'I wonder what I wrote...'
She slowly picked it up and opened the cover to the first page.

And that was it. She now knew what happened. Tears fell on the page.

"Red Mars Power, MAKE-UP!!"
Chibi-Moon rushed out followed closely by Chibi-Mars. They met the others in the hall minus Syaoran, Crystal and Sere.
"Pluto Night Flash!"
"Shadow Wall!"
"NOOOOOO!!!"
Two winged beings flashed by and a gasp was heard.
~*~ Sakura's Room ~*~
The Scene was like this.Sakura was pinned to the wall by small ice daggers. Sailor Crinso was standing in the middle holding a bow and loading an arrow.Her partner, Sailor Black Midnight, was holding her sword to Sailor Chibi Pluto's neck.
Sailor Eternal Moon and Sailor Eternal Cosmos stood bewildered by the scene.
"SAKURA!"
The arrow left with a twang and time seemed to slow as it grew closer and-
"NOOOOO! OKAA-SAN!!" Cosmos had jumped in front of Sakura and the arrow had pierced her heart. Sailor Crinso backed up, seemingly horiffied.
Sere collaped to the ground, a horrified look on her face. A gold light lept from Cosmos's to Sakura's body.
A brooch appeared in Sakura's hands and she held it up to the sky.
"The prophecy...NO!"
Crinso rushed forward to be stopped by an invisible shield.
"ETERNAL PINK COSMOS POWER, MAKE-UP!!"
Pink and golden light surrounded her and ribbons wound around her body. Rainbow wings sprung from her back.A gold, pink and silver staff appeared in her hand and she held it in front of her. Her eyes were golden. She held up her staff and twirled it around and over her head, as she rose off the ground.
"Eternal Cosmos Rage..." She stopped her staff and held it high above her head as she said the first words. She brought it down to waist level and a large ball of light and small shards appeared in front of it. "TSUNAMI!!!!" Small butterflies and crystals surrounded it as it made it's way toward Sailor Black Midnight and Sailor Black Crinso. Crinso jumped out of the way, but Black Midnight was not so fortunate. As the shards tore her body, and the light turned the rest to ash, she uttered her last words.
"You lied Crinso...It matters." And Sakura held up her staff.
"Crinso...You know why she said that.You knows that who you are matters." The scared little girl on the stage was gone. In her place a Queen stood. A legend. A messiah. A hope for the worlds.
She closed her eyes and a shadow surrounded her body, then separated from it. A woman with brown hair and emerald eyes appeared. With her coming, the pair from before appeared also. But someone new was with them. A small 13-year old girl. Silver hair and jade eyes. The little girl floated over to Sakura and touched her finger to the burning Cosmos symbol.Her eyes flahed gold and she smiled.
Meanwhile, the woman hugged the man and tears flowed down her face like rivers of joy. But they never touched the ground for ghost tears are not solid to us and as soon as they leave the ghost they turn into a shard of invisible crystal.From which heart crystals are born. (A/N: I feel like I'm writing a myth here...)
"I am not that person anymore. I'm different." said Crinso backing away.
The little girl giggled and said, "I am home." Her body became translucent and she faded into Sakura's body. Mind and Body were reunited.
"You lie." Sakura's eyes opened and now they were emerald again. Her staff grew a pair of wings at the top and star sprouted also. For the auburn-haired lady was feeding her powers to Sakura. A strange power of long ago.

"My memories. Hope. All we need is hope to defeat the Black Night Senshi. We need the light of hope."
All the older senshi turned to Sailor Eternal Moon.
"Your dreams are Eternal. Sailor Moon."
"Not anymore. My sister has died because of my light of hope. No.Never Again."
"The new messiah will reveal herself at her time." said Sakura. She turned to Crinso.
"The light is warm Crinso."
~*~ Somewhere in this Universe ~*~
"NO! She can not be turned again! Black Nyanko! Black Jewel! STOP THE PROPHECY!!"
~*~Elsewhere in the universe ~*~
"Our light of hope!"
"The prophecy of the ancients!"

"It's alright Crinso. The light.It's warm. The darkness is cold. Come to the light. Come to the warmth." Sakura held out her hand and slowly Crinso reached forward and took her hand.
"The Holy Messiah...It is you who can heal the one who fled to darkness in a time of plight."
"Me..?" Sakura seemed surprised. "But I am just a princess...Not a messiah."
"No..you are much more." Crinso closed her eyes and a light spread from Sakura's body to hers and her fuku changed from black to white and seemingly so did her attitude change from evil to good.
"NO! Sailor Black Crinso! Come to us." Sailor Black Nyanko and Sailor Black Jewel suddenly appeared with a flash of black. Sailor Black Nyanko and Sailor Black Jewel reached forward as to stop Crinso from changing and being healed.
Crinso's eyes flew open and they became hardened jade in the light.
"NO! NEVER AGAIN!" A blast issued from her and a pure heart crystal came forth. It glittered brightly and Sere began to cry.
"It's not worth it Sailor White Crinso. Not for the Messiah or anyone. I know. They end up being killed."
The White Night Senshi, who had just arrived surveyed the scene.
"She came back to us. At least she will die for good instead of evil." said one a pink haired senshi. They all nodded.
"HEART'S LIGHT EXTINGUISH!!!"
Crinso's heart crystal exploded. A star faded in the heavens as her star seed came out of her and dulled then cracked.The Golden Crystal dimmed as her dream mirror shattered. The evil senshi were gone and moon dust was swept away by a breeze out the window.
----Shattered dreams. Broken hearts.
A star dims in the heavens as you pass away.
Never Again you say.
Never Again. Never Again.--
Sere watched with a dull ache in her heart. 'Another soul lost.'
--But your friends cry and mourn.
A noble death you died.
But it'll be hard to say goodbye.
Goodbye my friend.--
'Dream and hopes that could of saved our world.'
--You leave a past behind.
One that will last forever.
Always remembered.
I hate to say goodbye.--
'For the messiah you gave up your hope. To her.'
--But don't forget you have that past that lasts forever.
When your star is gone forever.
Memories never die.
Now I say Goodbye.----
'Noblity beyond birth and rank. Nobility of the Heart.' Serenity shed one tear. ' Kindness to complete strangers. I thank you. '
A ghost watched them unnoticed. Her auburn and red hair floated in a invisible wind. Her jade eyes were filled with tears. 'Thank you Serenity. I've been granted all I ever wanted. Someone's approval.' She disappeared and her tears formed a glittering heart crystal which soon disappeared.
"Serenity! NO!" The White Night Senshi rushed forward to catch Sere. She was pale and seemed confused but calm.
"The Moon and Cosmos are closely linked. If one dies the other soon follows," One of the White Night Senshi explained, "Sere is going to die and nothing can be done."
"NO!" Everyone turned to find an enraged pink senshi.
"My okaa-san will not die." Her voice weakened and Sakura detranformed to her princess dress and rushed to Usa, her face no longer queen-like but more suitable to a princess.
"She can't....." Usa crumpled as her mother's breath became shallower and shallower.
"...No..." As the queen's body grew limp the sobbing princesses made the only sound.
The White Night Senshi gathered around her body. They mourned the fallen queens for a few moments, seemingly ~part of the crowd~. But suddenly Haruka looked up and glared at them.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The seeming leader stood up. She wore a purple and white fuku. She had lavender hair and silver eyes.
"I'm Sailor White Crystal. I'm the leader of the White Night Senshi, Sworn enemy of the Black Night Senshi.This is my senshi guardian, Sailor White Nyanko. "
She gestured to the senshi to her right. She had sky blue hair and eerie yellow eyes. She held a small staff with a golden ball at the end that rotated slowly in place. Her senshi fuku was gold and white.
"This is Sailor White Lily."
A senshi stood up. Her hair was a golden and her eyes were the purest blues. She seemed the opposite of Sailor White Nyanko by facial standards. Nyanko's was lithe and exotic while Lily's face seemed a bit plain. She seemed a bit ditzy at first glance, but she had a sense of tragicness and sorrow in her eyes. Her fuku was sky blue and white.
"And Sailor White Blossom."
A senshi in a pink and white fuku arose. She had hair of the lightest shade of pink and reddish brown eyes. She resembled Chibi-Usa in her appearance.
"And lastly, Sailor White Hope."
A frail senshi stood up. She wore a silver and white fuku. She carried a golden scythe and harp.
Sakura stood up.
"As the New Queen of this Solar system, I welcome you. Introductions will have to come later for time is of the essence. What happened here? I don't understand why they wanted to kill me."
"You are the-" started Sailor White Nyanko.
"No...she will learn of her identity in due time." interrupted Sailor White Hope. Sailor White Hope stared at Sakura like she was second-guessing her. Her eyes narrowed then her face relaxed into a wide smile.
"Greetings Neo-Queen Cosmos.Can we ask a favor of you?" said a solemn Sailor White Lily. her eyes were happy now.
"Of course." On the outside Sakura was calm, but inside she was a mass of writhing nerves. 'Why are they here? If they wanted to help, why not come sooner?'
"Can we please stay at your palace while we explain ourselves?"
"Certainly." Sakura smiled at them and led them in. She had them directed to thier rooms to be confronted by the Chibi Senshi.
"Sakura! You have your memories back!" She was hugged by everyone but Chibi-Usa and Syaoran. They stood off to the side, seeming akward in thier demeanor. (A/N: That's a vocabulary word there! *grins proudly*)
"Syaoran?" The Chibi Senshi parted to let Sakura toward him.
"Sakura..." He looked up and smiled sadly.
"Oh Syao-chan! I missed you!" She ran at him and flung her arms round him. He looked shocked but then warmly hugged her back.
"I missed you too.."
~*~ That night ~*~
Chibi-Usa sat on her balcony, looking up at the moon. A tear slid slowly down her cheek.
"Momma..okaa-san..."
She stared at the stars blankly.
A few balconies over, Michuri and Haruka were looking at the Moon too.
"It's so pretty tonight. But it looks just a little odd. Like it has a secret no one can find." contemplated Michuri
Haruka just nodded and hugged Michuri.
~*~ In the Morning ~*~
"SAKURA! GET OVER HERE!" All of the Queens were running after Sakura and Syaoran. It was chaos. And if you asked any of the Queens why they were doing it, They would just say "Family Reasons"
"Syaoran! Don't make me ground you." Setsuna said fiercely.
"Like I care!" Syaoran ran faster and Sakura grinned. 'Just a little further and we'll be there!'
"Sakura! I'll revoke your chocolate privleges." said Rei.
"Same for you Syaoran!" They both stood stock still in front of the Door of Time.
"NO CHOCOLATE PRIVELEGES!?!?!" Sakura wailed. Syoran was sweating hard and shaking.
"Alright. You got us..." sighed Syaoran.
"That's the last time we let you two have Ice Cream before breakfast.Never ever are you two to go through the Gate of Time without my permission!" said a furious Setsuna.
"I'm the Queen of the Solar System and I stilll can't have ice cream before breakfast..." said an out of breath Sakura. "Not fair..."
"Sure...Whatever...As long as we aren't chasing you at 7 in the morning again, I'm fine." said a groggy Makoto.
"I just want chocolate. Let's go get some chocolate custard donuts Sakura." Sakura and Syaoran walk off leaving the tired Queens behind.
~*~ That Afternoon ~*~
"I see...Well could you tell us why you're here?" Sakura held out her hand invitingly. She smiled.
"We are...searching for the Holy Messiah."
"Oh. Crinso called me that before she died.I...didn't know why she called me that."
"She did?..." 'crap'
"Yes..and she said I was more then a princess."
"Baka Crinso."
"What's wrong with Crinso?"
"...Nothing Your Highness."
"Oh, I wish you wouldn't call me that!"
"It is your rank so we will call you that." said Sailor White Hope quietly.
"I suppose...If you must."
"We must your highness.But now time is of the essence. The Black Night Senshi are building thier forces quickly." explained Sailor White Blossom.
"We all are in grave danger, you most of all!"
"They will kill you soon, before your true power has a chance to be unleashed."
They were worried and she knew. But she was convinced that as long as her kingdom was safe, she was fine. She thought of her kingdom before herself, but yet...
"There is no time! WE must unleash you power before it is too late!"
"How?"
"By the only means we have...putting someone you love in danger. This will unleash you power."
"..."
