Disclaimer: hey, this is Ashley Wolfsister at the moment allie_kat is busy making me dinner at hmm…10:45 at night, I know, I know, a cruel older sister I am! Ke hehehe don't worry if Allie owned DBZ or SM we wouldn't be here, we'd in Hawaii… oh well anyway she doesn't own nothing so have a nice'em day (and read my stories, too J)
Last time on Dragonball Z err…Sailor moon? Our heroes just found out that Mimi is Sailor Mercury and a cute new boy named Darien enters Serene's life.
P. S. If you couldn't guess, every Senshi transforms the same, besides Serene. (And I'm too lazy to write them out myself.) P.S. If you don't like graphic details of French kissing, too bad, tee hee hee. There's some down aways, so go ahead and skip the small part but you have to read the stuff written around the 'kissy' stuff! J
Tears of the Eclipse
So Many Secrets and Rei
Human Development:
"Now class, we are now moving on to Home Ec., I know this is unusual, but I teach both Human Development and Home Ec. We will be staring off easy by making bread with a partner."
"Can we pick our partners this time?" asked Brandon, looking at Serene who was whispering away with Goten.
"Yes, you may choose your partner, but, if you and Goten keep this up, Serene, I will choose your partners for you." Said Miss Kino, raising an eyebrow as the two instantly shut up.
"Hey, Goten, partners?" asked Serene, before Brandon could even think about asking her.
"Anytime, meet at your house today to start?"
"Oh, no, I have a date." Said Serene, genuinely sorry, "Maybe tomorrow?"
"But I thought you and Goten were-?" asked Hotaru, confused, even Trunks looked confused. Goten blushed a bright crimson, "We're just friends." He mumbled.
"Then, who are you going with today?" asked Trunks, directly at Serene, everyone looked at her. "What?" asked Trunks, when she mumbled something.
"Darien. He said he really needed to talk to me, a-about something important." She said, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. Both Hotaru and Trunks stared in open mouth astonishment. Goten turned slightly red from fighting an emotion he never felt before, nor could describe, he'd ask Gohan about it later. (A/N: Hmm, what can it be?)
After school:
"Serene, when can we get together?" asked Goten, hesitantly.
"Tomorrow at 3 o' clock, at my place, Trunks and Hotaru will be over at his place then."
"Ok bye!"
"Bye."
"Bye."
"Hasta luega, amigo!" yelled Serene, frustrated. She waited for about fifteen minutes for Darien, at the small street parlor. Finally, she saw him turn the corner. Me 'n' Goten would've blown up the kitchen by now! She thought, angrily. "Hillo, Darien, right here!" She called out, "What's so important?"
"I think you need an ice cream and a seat before I tell you." he said sitting her in a seat end ordering up some ice cream. He wouldn't say anything through ice cream; it was like he was afraid to say something.
"Look tell me now or I'm leaving. I have better things to do!" she said, losing her patience at sundae number 5.
"Weementbe."
"What?"
"We're meant to be." He whispered so low it took her awhile to figure out what he said. When she did, she reacted.
"What the hell does that mean? I just flippen' met you! You just can't come up to me and say that! I like some else very much, thank you!" she said, getting to her feet.
"Wait, I didn't mean it like that!" She ran fighting, and failing, to push her frantic thoughts away. What did he mean we're meant to be? I mean there was the weird flash yesterday, but, I mean, he can't really be my betrothed or something? Serene thought worriedly, running from the sound of the voice echoing through her head. (A/N: Ok, ok, I know, a little abrupt, but I'm lazy!)
The next day:
"So Princess, how was your date?" asked Hotaru.
"Weird, he said we were meant to be, I don't know what he's talking about, but the day I met him I had a flash. It was like a memory. Athena, help you must know what he's talking about. You remember my past! I know you do!" cried Serene, begging with the frowning cat.
"I can't tell you, Princess, your mother forbade me and Hotaru, you must remember on your own! I'm sorry, but did you say Darien?" asked Athena.
"Hai. Hotaru you're in on this, too?!" she rounded on the warrior of silence.
"Hai." Hotaru said simply, "And you need you finish making breakfast, I have to go to Trunks today, before Vegeta's training is over."
"Grrrrrrr! Make your own breaky, I'm going to Mimi's, she might help!" said Serene, angrily. "Maybe Goten might help me, too!"
At Mimi's house:
"Hmm, why don't you go to the Cherry Hill Temple? I hear there's a girl who can read fire for the confused and helpless, it's free, too." said Mimi, after hearing the story from Serene, "It's pretty far, but if you catch the 1323 bus, it should take you there in no time! You'll be back in time for your date with Goten, pronto!"
"Arigato, Mimi, you're a life saver! And it's not a date!" yelled Serene, waving behind her. My butt it's not, thought Mimi, returning to her physics. Serene ran down the road, her heart pumping, Why do I feel that this physic is someone that I know, like reading the fire has to do with something really important in my heart? She skidded to a halt as she made it to her destination. As soon as she sat down to rest the bus came rumbling down the road. Yes, I made it! She panted. She inserted $0.80 in the bus collection and went to the very back of the bus and sat down, looking at her watch worriedly. It's only 1:45 I still have time! Whew! From the seat beside her, a dark-haired man grinned, looking at her from the corner of his eye.
Serene ran up the stairs, stopping so often to catch her breathy. Each step resounded through her head, like an echo through memories. Panting she read the sign stating she was actually to the top. What a weird energy source. It's all around me, like flames that lick against my face without burning me. She thought. "It's so warm, no-, friendly." She whispered out loud. She walked across the tidy courtyard, offerings to the spirits laden the branches of the many trees. Slowly she walked into the shine. Looking around fugitively, she tiptoed to the room where an orange-red light flickered. A memory pounded into her brain, but Serene pushed it back as she neared the room. "Excuse me, but are you Miss Rei? The physic?" asked Serene, poking her head inside. A raven-haired girl turned, large red eyes, pools of liquid fire, or maybe rubies turned to blood. Serene bowed respectfully; Rei bowed her head in return. "Please, no etiquette. Sit down." Said Rei in a warm voice. She's like the fire, an aura that surrounds her it-it flickers and burns like flames, only it's so warm and comforting. Serene thought; taking a seat in front of the young priestess.
"Give me your hand."
"Yea, sure." The young priestess lifted the palm to her face. She closed her eyes whispering a chant under her breath, so low that Serene couldn't hear nor understand. All of the sudden, Rei threw their connected hands into the raging red fire behind them. Serene opened her mouth to scream, but instead closed it in shock. The flames they-they don't burn.
Become one with the flames ordered Rei's voice through her mind. Serene closed her eyes, melting into the red-orange flickers. A memory then flashed.
/flash back/
"HA HA HA! I gotcha! Huh? Where she'd go?" a blonde-haired girl exclaimed, poking her head around the door to surprise whomever was within.
"Boo." Said a bored voice behind her. It was a raven-haired beauty with large red eyes.
"Rei, you scared me."
"That was the point, Princess, that will teach you to try and sneak up on a priestess, and a Seer, none the less." Replied Rei haughtily, "Did I forget to mention, Mars Princess, and Sailor Scout, Sailor Mars?"
"What ever, now, what do you see in my future?" asked the Princess childishly.
"I See, I See…" said Rei dramatically, with a hand pressing to her forehead, she closed her eyes, "I see dark figures running and an aroma of…something…"
"Oh, is it a guy asking me out on a Earthian date?" asked the blonde eagerly.
"No, it is a young woman with you," said Rei with a frown, "I know! I'm gonna race you to dinner and win!" said Rei, jumping up, and snapping open her eyes, she ran, laughing wickedly.
"Hey, no fair!" said the other girl running after her, as a gong sounded through the palace.
/end flashback/
They broke apart panting, staring at each other in shock. Then, all of a sudden, a dark force entered their minds.
"Evil forces are gathering!" said Rei, in shock. "They are coming from my grandmother's shrine!" they ran to the old woman's room, their feet sliding over the polished wooden surface. Inside they saw a monster sucking the energy from an old woman through the mouth.
"Oh, no! I have to hurry! Sailor Mercury, hurry!" exclaimed Serene. "New Moon Power!" She transformed, as the monster fully merged with the old priestess, turning red, gray, and black. Rei watched in shock, from Serene, now Sailor New Moon, to the being that was once her grandmother. "HAAH, YAAHHH!" yelled Serene, jumping into a spar with the monster, careful to keep from losing her temper in case she lost the woman inside. "Hey! Who are you?" exclaimed the monster, its red eyes widening at this fast target. "Glad you asked." Smiled Serene, doing a back flip out of distance of the monster's punches. She wasn't even sweating.
" This sick foul game you play is unfair. Attacking harmless old women for your fiendish gains! I am Sailor New Moon! I am the champion of justice, and protector of pure and innocent hearts! I right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you!"
"Oh, I'm soo scared, a girl in a mini skirt and spaghetti hair is trying to get me! Ha ha ha!" laughed the monster sarcastically. Serene blushed at the words, hearing the ridiculous truth of her words.
"Well, then, deal with two mini skirts! Mercury …Bubbles…Blast!!!!!"
* * * Capsule Corps. ***
"Come on Goten. That energy, it's come back we have to find it!" yelled Trunks over his shoulder, "Don't worry we'll be back in time for your date." He grinned at the worried frown on the other boy's face.
"It's not a date." Said Goten, blushing crimson. "Anyway, check out the energies. It's like they have personalities!"
"Whoa, you're right. One feels like a bright yet dark soothing light, another like ice and mist, and the other like fire and flames." Replied Trunks, in shock.
"I've never felt energy like this- wait, yes we have! That day Mimi's little brother got attacked by that that thing. This ki was there!"
"You're right! We better kick it up! Those girls in the mini skirts might not be so lucky." They powered up and zoomed off towards the Temple.
* * *
"Oof! Mercury! Your Bubble Blast, it doesn't affect this monster! We can't kill it either, Mrs. Hino is in there somewhere! We need help! I know!" cried Serene, turning towards the amazed Rei, "Rei, remember the vision, it was a memory, everything it said was true! You are Sailor Mars!" Rei blinked, how could she be a Sailor Scout, whatever they were, she knew they were super heroes. All of a sudden, she grinned. "Mars Star Power!"
"It looks like Rei has remembered." Huffed Mimi, as they watched Rei transform.
"Yea, and just in time. Guess who just showed up." Said Serene, raising an eyebrow at Trunks and Goten who had landed with confused and amazed looks on their faces.
"Mars Fire Ball… IGNITE!"
"Ahhh!" yelled the monster
"Sailor New Moon, do your stuff!"
"Yea." She agreed, and bringing her hands, cupped, in front of her as her tiara disappeared her sign flashing. "New…Moon… Healing…Power!!!" She yelled, waving the evolved Crescent Wand.
"Never forget we're the Champions of Justice! We're here to protect all!" They jumped into the air, saluting the boys that came to help up the old woman. As the went to follow the Sailor Senshi, they heard a young girl call out in a weak but steady voice, "Grandmother! Grandmother, are you okay, Grandmother, where are you?" A girl with raven-hair step out of the shrine grasping the doorframe to steady herself. The two embraced as two young teenagers slipped out the back.
Part two of chap 4
"I have to make it. I am going to make it." Serene grinned, " 'I think I can, I think I can!' Man, nursery rhymes can come in handy!" After both Serene and Mimi slipped from the back of the shrine they separated and Serene kept on running towards her house where Goten would probably be waiting, cuz` he knew how to fly. "Man, I have got to remember to ask Goten to teach me how to fly! I'm wiped!" panted Serene turning the corner onto her block. Sure enough, Goten stood waiting. "Goten!" she huffed with a wide smile, "I was with Mimi when I realized what time it was, I ran all the way here! Did I keep you waiting long?"
"Nah, I was held up, there was a weird disturbance up at Cherry Hill Temple. Actually there have been a lot of disturbances lately."
"Like the monster that sucked up Kyle!?" Serene asked Goten, excitedly. Man I hate this! Serene thought.
"Yea, exactly. And these weird girls in mini skirts keep poppin` up, and each time there's one more girl added! Now's there's three, next time there's probably going to be four! It's weird, and they have some funky intros, too." he said, pensive. Serene fumbled with her key, biting her lip. Please don't make me lie; please don't make me lie! I just couldn't lie to you, but I can't tell you a secret I don't understand! I hate this oh I hate this!
/two hours later/
"Okay, we made bread, if that's what you call it, but what about the kitchen. If Athena comes home to see this, she'll scratch my eyes out!" said Serene looking at was once a tidy kitchen, now covered with flour and other stuff. "Oh yea can you teach me how to fly?" asked Serene abruptly picking up some measuring cups.
"Yea sure. Can you sense your ki inside?"
"Yea, I can do that. Look!" She held out her hands gathering energy in front of her into a small white, black-cored, gold glittering ball. Goten suddenly felt one of the energies he felt earlier that day on the way to the Temple, but weaker.
"Now what?" she asked. He shook his head and put a big wooden spoon in the cleaned out sink.
"Now, take the energy and put at your feet and kind of push it up. To land you just push the energy down."
"Oh, Oh OH! COOL! Awesome! Alphanumeric! I'm flying!" Serene cried, floating about five feet off the floor.
"Wow, you're a quick learner. Now land."
"Ahh! Oof!" She accidentally let her ki down too fast and she went down with it. Goten caught her and some how ended up less than an inch away from her face. (A/N: and wouldn't ya know what happened next?) The next thing he knew her lips were pressed up against his. Her lips. Those lips that made that smile that made him want to protect her with all the power he had, but made him feel it wasn't enough to just protect. The mix of feelings that confused him every day slowly evaporated. They floated about two inches off the floor as their ki flared. Serene's hair came out of their odango style fluttering around her ankles in a sudden swirl as it turned white, black, and gold with the charging of her energy. Her hands wound into his thick unkempt hair. Goten gave into the feelings, his eyes closing on her flour smudged nose. His hair flared into golden spikes, eyes turning jade behind lowered lids. A memory surrounded them. A smell of flowers reached them, the most definite of it was the aroma of roses. Water trickled in the background. Goten could hear the silken cloth of a dress fluttering at his ankles as a breeze twirled around them. Serene could feel the intricate symbols merged in the metal of armor against her bare skin that wasn't bare before and through the thin cloth of silk in the top part of her dress. (A/N: That's called the bodice, right?) Her lips parted as he licked her bottom lip wanting more. As if he were trying to remember every taste. All of a sudden she pulled away. Confused, she shook her head to rid the memory. Crying, she backed away. "No, no, no." she whispered. "NO! Stop! Stop!" She flew over Trunks and Hotaru as they turned onto their block.
"I guess Goten taught her how to fly." Observed Trunks. Hotaru nodded, but didn't say anything as a drop of water hit her hand. It wasn't raining.
