They exchanged looks, "Shall we?" Seiya asked. They all shrugged and walked from the park to the street. Walking down the street, they were a sight to see. Eight woman and three men all around a ninth woman, they seemed to be shielding her from something. As they walked down the street they talked in low voices, their long and shadowy faces telling of what they were talking about. "It might have just been something someone dropped." Yaten said, scowling that they were wasting his day. "If some one did, it would have been more ripped up and dirty, it's perfectly clean and well... prefect." Setsuna said. "Do you remember them, mama, that Ifrit said you did." Setsuna looked at Hotaru, "A little, I remember only a little of them, it's all cloudy, but I remember."
~*~*~ Flashback ~*~*~
All around things were being destroyed. "Your majesty!" Serenity looked up, she felt so helpless, her whole life was crumbling around her and that would be the end of the Allegiance with her. Setsuna looked down at her Queen, she looked broken, "You can still call the elders! They might be able to send reinforces!" Serenity nodded, standing and making her way to the throne room, she flipped a switch that opened a screen, "Elders. This is Queen Serenity of the Sliver Allegiance and Moon Kingdom. We are under attack and need back up. Please send help as soon as you can. I repeat we are under attack, I don't know how long we can hold out. Please help us.." With that the screen exploded and Setsuna grabbed Serenity out of the way just in time. They both knew that the message would be frizzled up and hard to hear, but they hoped someone could come.
~*~*~ End Flashback ~*~*~
"But they said they only got the message three days ago." Minako pointed out. "Yeah, I've been thinking about that, and I'm guessing that their time travels slower of longer than ours, or maybe it took the message so long to get to them that it only did reach them three days ago." They all thought, Ami had made a good point. "They didn't seem like the friendliest of people, even for senshi." Rei pointed out. "Sure, but neither were Michiru and Haruka when they first showed up, I'm sure if we ever run into them again, it'll all be all right." Usagi said right back. She had felt a power in them that only the senshi possessed. But theirs seemed different, almost more powerful than hers or the others.
"There it is." Taiki pointed to a rather large shop across the street, the front side was made totally of glass, the only medal was the frame around the door. In neon lights was 'Hoshi Kaze' and a paper sign on the door read 'open'. "Well, there is no time like the present." They all crossed the street and walked in to the little shop. Around the edge of the walls ran a bar like table, till the far side where there was a counter, there was a stools under each section of the bar table. In the middle of the room there were different size tables, from two people to a large one on the close wall that looked like it could hold ten people. On the walls were various paintings, done in pencil, watercolors, charcoal, pastels, there was even a crayon one. All the pictures were of outer space, planet and stars and stuff. The walls were painted black with wisps of purple, silver and blue. "Nice place." Minako said, looking at the picture to her left, it was of the moon, if you looked really hard you could see almost a palace on the top of the moon, the sky around it glowed an eerie red then faded to the black of the sky, no stars shown in this picture.
"I'm glad you like it." They all jumped to the voice, they had over looked the woman sitting at a pillar right beside the door. "Painted it myself." She had bright blonde hair that hung loose right beneath her shoulders and crystal blue eyes that contrasted her pale white skin. She wore a black skirt, black high heels and white shirt that was a V-cut and flared at the elbows. "You can set yourself, there are menus at the table, and a waitress will be with you shortly." The woman stood up and walked past the counter and into a back room, which they assumed was the kitchen. "I told you it was a waste of time." Yaten said, turning to leave. "Wait." Minako pointed to the picture that she was looking at. "What?" Yaten said, getting annoyed. "This is a picture of the hologram that Ami brought up and look at the name of it." They all leaned forward to look at the plaque beneath the picture, 'Lost Kingdom of the Moon.' "I think we should stick around for a bit." Makoto said, "If anything it gives us a chance to catch up on things." They all just nodded and sat at the biggest able, just barely fitting.
Usagi picked up the menu and her eyes bulged out, it had just about every kind of food on here. "I'm loving this place all ready." She said as she looked over all the food she could buy. "It's probably just freezer food." Taiki pointed out. "I can assure you it is all real food, and good too." Once more none of them heard the person some up and jumped at the voice. This woman wore the same uniform as the last, but had short black hair tied back into a ponytail and bright green eyes that shone with warmth. "My name is Tenshi and I'll be your waitress for today. Can I get you anything to drink to start off with?" "No, but I'll take you." Haruka said, flirting with the small girl. Michiru flicked her underneath the table. Tenshi just giggled and held up her left hand, on her ring finger was a gold band with a small red jewel in the middle. "Well then, just break my heart. In that case, I'll take a Pepsi." Haruka got another flick, but just ignored it like the last. The others ordered drinks and started talking, almost totally forgetting about the days events. That was until another girl walked in the door. She wore the same clothes as the first two girls, the store's uniform, but her shirt extended far past her hands and her skirt made a trail after where she walked. Her light brown hair pulled up into large buns and her eyes squeezed shut in a smile. She made quick walking to the back room as Tenshi came out with their drinks.
