Chapter 2: Kinmoku, Here We Come
"We're almost there." Michiru said, quietly. It was strange; to be leaving everything they knew for something totally different. Of coarse Kinmoku wouldn't be all bad, but it wasn't Earth. In the distance a small object appeared.
"Kinmoku. Wait till we see the Starlights. I bet they'll run for the hills once they see 'Ruka." This sent everyone but Haruka in to giggles. She just grumbled about stupid rat tailed bakas.
Serena sighed, this was going to be harder then she thought. Everything she'd known was behind her. The Inners who'd been with her since the start of everything, they'd betrayed her though. They'd said that she was going to be a lousy queen, and Mars would be much better. Then they'd demanded the crystal, and her death. The worst part was Darien. The man, who'd held her, said he loved her. He'd gone and kissed Venus, and said that he hated her.
"Serena, it's over now." Hotaru said, as if reading her thoughts. Serena smiled at her true friends.
'They'll never betray me.' She closed her eyes and imagined what Kinmoku would be like. She would have to wait very long to see though. They were about to land.
Hotaru gazed at Haruka and she smiled back. /Fun time, nay Ru-chan?/
/Don't do anything you'll regret 'Ruka-san./ Hotaru sighed.
Pigs would fly before Haruka didn't do something. 'I can't wait to see him.' Pluto was the only one who knew she had a crush on a certain silver haired Starlight. Hotaru glanced around her, as her feet touched solid ground. "We're here." Haruka said in a messed up voice.
A castle loomed in the distance, with what looked like a city around it.
/Probably the capitol/ Setsuna told the others. Serena of coarse was totally clueless to their words though.
/Should we head there then?/ Michiru asked.
/Yep. Let's go! / Haruka thought. So they started towards the castle and city. Where hopefully they'd find the Starlights, and a place to stay.
The girls passed into a forest that was almost the same as the ones on Earth. The only difference was the animal life. Hotaru screamed when she caught sight of a lizard as big as she was.. And it was pink to boot!
About sunset the girls stopped and decided to try and find a place to camp. Haruka was in charge of looking for firewood. Michiru was to find water, if possible. Setsuna went to unpack the bit of food she'd packed just in case. Hotaru and Serena were to set up 'beds' of moss and clothing the girls could spare.
By the time everyone was back they were shrouded by darkness. The moons (there's two of 'em.) that rose were only crescents, but the stars were bright and gave them enough light to start a fire.
Serena was the first to fall asleep. Followed by Hotaru and then Michiru. "I'll keep watch till the moon reaches the top of its arch." Haruka whispered to Setsuna.
"Wake me then, and I'll watch till morning." Setsuna settled herself next to Michiru and slept. The night was uneventful, so Haruka dozed but didn't sleep. When the time came she shook Setsuna gently and traded shifts; now ready to sleep herself. Setsuna dozed through her shift as well, and the sun soon peeked over the hills in the east.
The sun had reached about a quarter of its arch when Setsuna roused the others to pack up and leave. Michiru handed what was left of their dinner while the others gathered their items and stored them away.
It was mid day by the time they left, /getting a late start wasn't the best idea./ Hotaru commented to the others. She was carrying her huge bag with stuff for herself and Serena over her back. It wasn't the most comfortable way to travel..
/Maybe not./ Setsuna mused, /But we're still en route for that palace./
/Hai. Even through the trees we can see it!/ Michi added.
Hotaru yawned, and blinked her eyes of what sleep that still claimed her. She didn't like not waking up in her own bed, but she had to remember why they were here. A new life, no more Earth, own house, Tokyo, meetings at the temple.. 'Bad train of thought.' Hotaru scolded herself.
T/he sooner we reached the city, the sooner they could start their new lives./ Hotaru thought.
/Kinmoku is very beautiful so far. It reminds me a lot of earth. Just not as many cities and no paved roads./
/And strange and disgusting animals/ Haruka interrupted Michi's musing.
"It'll take us until sunset to reach the palace," Setsuna estimated, "maybe a little longer. Though those are the circumstances only if we don't stop to rest."
Serena sighed, 'I can't wait to get there!'
