Michiko: Ohayo minna-san! I'm here typing this up for L-angel, which is why I'm talking right now
Me: Yep
Mi: What did I do to deserve this?!
Me: WELL, you left me behind last time to work on this alone
Mi: oh, and your making me do this?
Me: *Continues while ignoring Michiko's comment* AND you ripped my favorite poster (it was a DBZ poster too!!!!)
Mi: Oh...right I forgot-
Me: AND you burned our lunch yesterday, and wrecked one of our pans!! *Shakes head* I was only gone for ten minutes, and I asked you to just look after it...
Mi: *Sigh* ok, so yesterday was not a good day, demo do I still have to do this?
Me: *Give death glare* Hai, your mom is making you help me anyways after your little...misadventure
Mi: *starts crying* I wanted to look for Trowa
Me: Ahem, what did I say?
Mi: *stops crying* Oh yea! *Holds up Gohan Plushie* I'd stop stalking him if you gave me this!
Me: Exactly...I think you scared him off after chasing him like that...
Mi: Did not!
Me: Did too!
Mi: Iie!!

Disclaimer: I don't own any anime, and I definitely don't own Sailor Moon or DBZ...aww geez, for a fifteen-year-old otaku, it's hard to admit!
*~*Chapter 16 *~*
"Hai Serenity-hime, it's me" the small crystal answered
"Demo, how can it be?" Usagi asked
"The youma did not complete its mission. It was not able to bring me to Chaos, for obvious reasons. So I never really left"
"Oh" Usagi replied as she thought for a moment "Ano...Ami-chan, you remember?"
"Nani?"
"Do you really remember the past?"
"Saa..."
"How?"
"Ne, I don't really know"
Usagi could have started laughing right there! Mizuno Ami, the great senshi of wisdom, didn't know? Those were words that hardly left her mouth at all...if she had a mouth
"Ami are you able to regain your physical form?"
The three in the room heard a small sigh from the star seed as its glow slightly faded.
"Iie Usagi, I don't have enough energy. That's why I came to you"
"Oh demo-"
"Onegai Usagi-chan, I'm losing a lot of energy. My life force will die out if you don't help me" she pleaded, the glow fading again to a dull shine
Usagi's eyes widened in terror "Iie! Hang on Ami" she cried as she shakily stood up. Without even thinking, she sent waves of energy into the small star seed, forgetting the consequences of using so much energy.
*~* Somewhere dark and scary *~* (Mi: Ooh | Me: Michi! | Mi: Oops, Gomen)
Chaos's eyes snapped open as it felt the pure energy.
"Cosmos" it muttered "So, you have finally shown yourself" a twisted smile formed onto its lips as it realized where Cosmos was. "I'll let you finish your task on Chikyuu, and then I will come for you"
Chaos's nails dug into the end of its cold stone throne, crushing it into pieces "And then you will die by my hand. You will see how powerful I truly am"
*~* With Usagi *~*
Goku and Makoto had to shield their eyes from the intensity of the light coming from Usagi.
Goku was simply amazed, he could feel her ki, and it was amazing...He had never felt anything like it...so pure...so powerful...but how was it that he could feel it now? He noticed that the light had died down suddenly. He removed his hand from his eyes, and found Usagi holding the hands of a blue haired girl, who he assumed was this Ami person.
Usagi smiled weakly at her old friend "Ami-chan" she whispered to her before releasing her hands and stumbling backwards, the energy drain taking its toll on her.
Goku reacted quickly, and he caught her before she hit the ground. She looked up weakly at him and smiled.
"Arigato"
"For what?" he asked confused
"For catching me!" she laughed softly "I would have hit the ground if you hadn't"
"Oh"
"Usagi-chan you shouldn't have used so much energy!" Ami exclaimed while rushing forward to her
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine"
"I have to worry Usa, I am a doctor after all"
"Saa, a world known doctor at that"
Ami blushed slightly "Not really..."
"Hai you are...Oh Ami, Gomen nasi for bringing you into this again"
Ami shook her head "Iie, don't be."
Usagi yawned as she nestled herself in Goku's arms, causing him to blush profoundly
"Gomen, demo I'm just going to take a n-nap..." she stated as sleep took over
Ami shook her head, some things never change with Usagi. She took a step backwards, and a startled look crossed her face as she noticed the blushing Goku for the first time, who was currently looking down at the sleeping Usagi in his arms.
"Ano...Who are you?" Ami asked
*~* Meanwhile, somewhere else that's dark and scary *~*
(Mi: That's really lame! | Me: *sigh* -_-')
Mamoru had seen everything.
He was of course mad that the baka youma had failed again...
But that wasn't what really had him furious
He of course had expected Serenity to show up to save Mercury, which was why he had watched the entire time, but he hadn't expected to that man to be with her...whoever he was...Just thinking of them so close just moments before made his blood boil. He looked up at the screen in front of him, which had a picture of Goku currently holding HIS Serenity.
He gave a ferocious cry as he punched the screen, instantly shattering it into a million pieces.
"You are mine Serenity, and always will be" he seethed as he clenched his bloody fist at his side, ignoring the pain radiating from it. He suddenly relaxed as a new idea formed in his mind, and he smirked as he walked across the shards of glass, making a crunching sound wherever he stepped.
"Perhaps it's time that I go retrieve a star seed myself" he stated as he walked down the dark corridors of a palace "And perhaps..." his smirk grew if it were possible "it's time I go show Serenity...My Serenity who she truly belongs with" The smile left his face when he thought of the man she had been with. "And I'll show that kono yaro who he's dealing with" he seethed
(An: Me: AHHH!!! *starts punching Mamoru* don't call Goku a kono yaro!!!! Oops heehee ^^' Gomen | Mi: Sheesh, and you called me weird)
*~* On Kinmoku *~*
(This is right after they arrived)
A golden light consumed Trunks, and its glow grew more and more intense until he couldn't keep his eyes open. A tingling sensation passed through his body, and he knew that they would soon arrive on Michiko's home planet.
(Mi: I hope you realize how strange this is to me | Me: Keep typing)
Trunks felt a warm breeze gently brush through his hair, and someone's giggling rang in his ears.
"You can open your eyes now Trunks, we've arrived"
Trunks did as he was told, and he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was slightly blurred, and slowly adjusted to his new surroundings. He really did it; he was on another planet, just like Gohan had been!
"Welcome to my home, Kinmoku Trunks!" announced Michiko from his side
(An: next part is my 'creative writing' that I mentioned!)
He nodded distractively as he observed his surroundings...this planet...it had a sense of peace, calmness, and tranquility, even with all the busy streets, you still had these senses... The scenery was much like what you would see on Chikyuu, but then, it was different at the same time. It was very colorful I suppose you could say...like a fading rainbow after a storm. A multitude of colors blended into each other, most of it from the surrounding buildings. It also wasn't as crowded here, the buildings didn't block out the sky and the sun...wait did they even have a sun like on Chikyuu?
"So what do you think Trunks?" Michiko asked, interrupting his thoughts
"It's beautiful here" he commented while still observing his surroundings
"I'm glad you like it, demo do you feel alright? No lack of oxygen or anything?"
"Iie, I feel fine" he answered while glancing at her. He did a double take as he started staring at her.
Her clothes had completely changed from what she had been wearing before! She now wore a red, back, and gold colored kimono styled dress. He had never seen anything like it before
(I'm not really into describing clothes, so I've drawn a picture, not a very good one mind you, but you can find it at: http://lil_nighingale.tripod.com/justalilolvote/id3.html
please take a look and tell me what you think!!)
Michiko grew nervous as Trunks continued to stare at her "Nande? What is it? Do I have something on my dress? My face? Is there something behind me?" she asked as she turned around
Trunks shook his head "Iie, there's nothing! I was just surprised with what you're wearing"
An angry expression crossed Michiko's face at his comment "And is there something wrong with my dress?" she asked, a slight bit of anger seeping into her tone
"Iie!" he exclaimed raising his hands in a mock defense "there's nothing wrong with your dress!"
She eyed him warily as she turned around "Follow me, we need to go to the palace"
He nodded as he followed her. They had walked for only a few moments when they arrived at the front gates. Trunks stared upwards at the building towering above them in amazement. It was pure white from his angle, but if the light shifted the tiniest bit, a rainbow of colors appeared on its surface. Kind of like the inside of a clean mussel shell (Don't ask). High walls surrounded the palace, and the gates themselves were several meters higher than the walls.
"Like it Trunks?"
Trunks looked back at Michiko and smiled "Hai, it's a stunning palace, demo..."
"Hai?"
"Why doesn't it have any security at the gates? I mean anyone could walk into there"
Michiko shook her head "Kinmoku is a peaceful planet, there is no need for security"
"Honto?"
"Hai, demo just in case..." she pointed at the gate "this gate can only be opened by certain people."
"Soo ka? I don't believe you, that's impossible...unless you have a key, demo I don't see a key hole. Besides, I could probably break these gates in half "
Michiko shrugged "Iie, there is no key. Try to open them yourself"
Trunks looked at her strangely before shrugging and walking up to the gates. Taking a firm grip on one of the bars, he pushed with all his might.
Nothing
'Ok well maybe you have to pull them' he thought as he tried it. Didn't budge at all.
"Ok, fine maybe it isn't as easy as it looks" he admitted
Michiko giggled as she placed a hand upon on of the bars of the gate. A faint glow erupted from underneath her hand. She gave the gate a slight push, causing them to easily swing open.
Trunks gawked for a second before closing his eyes and shaking his head while crossing his arms at his chest.
"I loosened them up for you, that's how you could open them"
"Sure Trunks, Sure" she replied. Her voice seemed far off...
Trunks opened his eyes to find that she had already walked through the gates and was almost at the palace doors.
"Oi! Wait up!" he called out while running towards her. Once he had reached her side, the gates closed, making a large 'Clunk' sound that resonated in Trunk's sensitive ears
"Ooh, creepy" he stated while they walked right through the doors. The inside of the palace was much like the outside; except for the furnishings. To Trunks, it looked exactly like the pictures he'd seen about the medieval period of time. From when exactly? He didn't know, neither did he care; it was all just simply breathtaking.
"Oi! Michiko-hime!" a voiced called out from down the hall
Trunks turned to see a silver haired woman...clad in leather?!
'Oh Kami' he thought as he turned his gaze towards the floor to avoid embarrassment.
(An: This is going by both the anime/manga version of the Sailor Stars...just to tell ya)
"Healer-chan!" Michiko cried as she ran up to be caught in an embrace with the senshi "It's been a long time"
"Hai it is" she replied while pulling out of the hug "Kakyuu-hime told us that you were coming. She saw it in a dream last night that you would be here...with a friend" she finished while motioning with her hand towards Trunks.
(Ok I'm not too sure about this, but I read somewhere that she could see certain events occurring in her dreams....but I'll use it anyways)
"Nani?" Michiko glanced behind her "Oh Trunks! Gomen, I forgot you were here"
Trunks shrugged "I guess I'm easy to forget" he replied as he walked to her side, eyes still fixed on the floor
Michiko frowned slightly "Iie Trunks, don't think that way" Trunks gave no reply, and Michiko sighed. She then noticed that he still hadn't taken his gaze from the floor "Is there something really interesting about the floor Trunks-kun?"
Trunks looked up at her, a blush finding it's way onto his cheeks "Ano, Iie, not really"
'Why is he acting so strangely?' she thought as she looked back at Healer, then it occurred to her. "Healer-chan, onegai de-henshin"
Healer shrugged and pressed the small star-shaped earring. Lights wrapped around her body and when they cleared, there stood Kou Yaten instead of Sailor StarHealer.
Trunks' eyes widened in shock "N-nande???" he asked as he took a step backwards.
Yaten frowned slightly "Is there something wrong?"
Trunks shook his head, still confused as to how a woman...became a man...
Yaten sighed and motioned for both of them to follow "Kakyuu-hime is waiting for you" he announced as they walked down the long corridor.
They soon arrived at the doors to the throne room where Kakyuu-hime currently was. The doors here were huge! They reminded Trunks of the gates at the front of the castle.
Yaten gently pushed open the doors, and announced that Michiko and Trunks had arrived.
Kakyuu-hime smiled "It is good to see you again obasan" she greeted as she stepped down from her throne to catch Michiko in a hug.
Trunks studied them both as they talked to each other. Neither of them really looked alike... Kakyuu had red hair, while Michiko had black with the gold and silver stands weaved through her hair. There was a small height difference...although that wasn't too uncommon. Their features were almost the same...
"Oh, Gomen minna-san, this is Trunks. The last prince of Vegita-sei" Michiko announced
"Nani?? Demo Vegita-sei was destroyed!" exclaimed Yaten
Trunks nodded his head "Hai, it was, demo my tousan was the last prince of Vegita-sei before Freeza destroyed it" he explained "He survived the destruction and went to Chikyuu where he met my kaasan"
"Oh, and all this time we believed that the Sayians were an extinct race" exclaimed Sailor StarFighter who had just joined the conversation with Sailor StarMaker.
Trunks' eyes widened in shock at the appearance of Fighter and Maker, and his eyes soon found their way back to the floor. 'Why do these senshi have to wear such skimpy clothes? You don't see the Zsenshi wearing stuff like that!' (Mi: Ooh, I hope not!!)
Michiko giggled and turned to both senshi "Would either of you mind to de-henshin for our guest?"
Both senshi shook their heads as same lights that had surrounded Healer surrounded them.
"Trunks, meet Kou Yaten, Kou Seiya, Kou Taiki, and Kakyuu-hime " Michiko introduced as the all nodded their heads lightly to acknowledge the greeting.
"I sense trouble in your heart obasan, is there something wrong?" Kakyuu-hime asked
"Haven't you sensed it?" Michiko asked surprised
"Iie, what?"
Michiko's expression changed into confusion. How was this possible? Kakyuu should have sensed Chaos's power...
"Chaos has returned" She stated grimly
Gasps and masaka 's came from the four as they hear the news.
"How is that possible Michiko-hime?" Seiya asked
"It was reborn from the cauldron. It was bound to happen"
"What are we to do?" asked Kakyuu
"Cosmos has found her senshi, and are currently gathering forces on Chikyuu"
"Fitting that the battle should take place on the same planet" Taiki said grimly
Seiya on the other hand brightened at the mention of Cosmos "Odango-chan is there?"
Michiko could have laughed, 'same old Seiya' "Hai she is. And I am here to ask for your help for the battle"
Kakyuu nodded "Of course, you can count on us, demo do you know what Chaos is after?"
"Iie, I don't, demo she is going after star seeds again"
"Soo ka?"
"Hai"
Kakyuu's expression turned from determined to concern, which didn't go unnoticed by Michiko.
"Kakyuu, are you sure you wish to help in this battle?"
She looked at Michiko hesitantly, then at her senshi "I don't-"
"Onegai Kakyuu-hime, they need our help" pleaded Seiya
She frowned slightly "Hai, we will help you and Cosmos, demo I'm just worried that our star seeds will be taken"
"That is something I cannot guarantee will not happen"
"Hai I know. When shall we leave?"
Michiko shrugged as a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she barely stifled a yawn.
"You must be tired from your trip Michiko-hime. Perhaps you two should stay the night" suggested Taiki
She glanced at Trunks, who nodded that it was all right with him.
She smiled "Hai, perhaps we will stay for today, demo would one of you like to show Trunks-kun around the city?"
*~* End Chapter 16 *~*
Me: Ok ok, this was a bad place to end, demo I'm getting close to 12 pages, which is way past my writing limit.
Mi: this is a bad place to end! How could you end it here?

Me: AND you burned our lunch yesterday, and wrecked one of our pans!! *Shakes head* I was only gone for ten minutes, and I asked you to just look after it...
Mi: *Sigh* ok, so yesterday was not a good day, demo do I still have to do this?
Me: *Give death glare* Hai, your mom is making you help me anyways after your little...misadventure
Mi: *starts crying* I wanted to look for Trowa
Me: Ahem, what did I say?
Mi: *stops crying* Oh yea! *Holds up Gohan Plushie* I'd stop stalking him if you gave me this!
Me: Exactly...I think you scared him off after chasing him like that...

*~*Chapter 16 *~*
"Hai Serenity-hime, it's me" the small crystal answered
"Demo, how can it be?" Usagi asked
"The youma did not complete its mission. It was not able to bring me to Chaos, for obvious reasons. So I never really left"
"Oh" Usagi replied as she thought for a moment "Ano...Ami-chan, you remember?"
"Nani?"
"Do you really remember the past?"
"Saa..."
"How?"
"Ne, I don't really know"
Usagi could have started laughing right there! Mizuno Ami, the great senshi of wisdom, didn't know? Those were words that hardly left her mouth at all...if she had a mouth
"Ami are you able to regain your physical form?"
The three in the room heard a small sigh from the star seed as its glow slightly faded.
"Iie Usagi, I don't have enough energy. That's why I came to you"
"Oh demo-"
"Onegai Usagi-chan, I'm losing a lot of energy. My life force will die out if you don't help me" she pleaded, the glow fading again to a dull shine
Usagi's eyes widened in terror "Iie! Hang on Ami" she cried as she shakily stood up. Without even thinking, she sent waves of energy into the small star seed, forgetting the consequences of using so much energy.
*~* Somewhere dark and scary *~* (Mi: Ooh | Me: Michi! | Mi: Oops, Gomen)
Chaos's eyes snapped open as it felt the pure energy.
"Cosmos" it muttered "So, you have finally shown yourself" a twisted smile formed onto its lips as it realized where Cosmos was. "I'll let you finish your task on Chikyuu, and then I will come for you"
Chaos's nails dug into the end of its cold stone throne, crushing it into pieces "And then you will die by my hand. You will see how powerful I truly am"
*~* With Usagi *~*
Goku and Makoto had to shield their eyes from the intensity of the light coming from Usagi.
Goku was simply amazed, he could feel her ki, and it was amazing...He had never felt anything like it...so pure...so powerful...but how was it that he could feel it now? He noticed that the light had died down suddenly. He removed his hand from his eyes, and found Usagi holding the hands of a blue haired girl, who he assumed was this Ami person.
Usagi smiled weakly at her old friend "Ami-chan" she whispered to her before releasing her hands and stumbling backwards, the energy drain taking its toll on her.
Goku reacted quickly, and he caught her before she hit the ground. She looked up weakly at him and smiled.
"Arigato"
"For what?" he asked confused
"For catching me!" she laughed softly "I would have hit the ground if you hadn't"
"Oh"
"Usagi-chan you shouldn't have used so much energy!" Ami exclaimed while rushing forward to her
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine"
"I have to worry Usa, I am a doctor after all"
"Saa, a world known doctor at that"
Ami blushed slightly "Not really..."
"Hai you are...Oh Ami, Gomen nasi for bringing you into this again"
Ami shook her head "Iie, don't be."
Usagi yawned as she nestled herself in Goku's arms, causing him to blush profoundly
"Gomen, demo I'm just going to take a n-nap..." she stated as sleep took over
Ami shook her head, some things never change with Usagi. She took a step backwards, and a startled look crossed her face as she noticed the blushing Goku for the first time, who was currently looking down at the sleeping Usagi in his arms.
"Ano...Who are you?" Ami asked
*~* Meanwhile, somewhere else that's dark and scary *~*
(Mi: That's really lame! | Me: *sigh* -_-')
Mamoru had seen everything.
He was of course mad that the baka youma had failed again...
But that wasn't what really had him furious
He of course had expected Serenity to show up to save Mercury, which was why he had watched the entire time, but he hadn't expected to that man to be with her...whoever he was...Just thinking of them so close just moments before made his blood boil. He looked up at the screen in front of him, which had a picture of Goku currently holding HIS Serenity.
He gave a ferocious cry as he punched the screen, instantly shattering it into a million pieces.

"Perhaps it's time that I go retrieve a star seed myself" he stated as he walked down the dark corridors of a palace "And perhaps..." his smirk grew if it were possible "it's time I go show Serenity...My Serenity who she truly belongs with" The smile left his face when he thought of the man she had been with. "And I'll show that kono yaro who he's dealing with" he seethed
(An: Me: AHHH!!! *starts punching Mamoru* don't call Goku a kono yaro!!!! Oops heehee ^^' Gomen | Mi: Sheesh, and you called me weird)
*~* On Kinmoku *~*
(This is right after they arrived)
A golden light consumed Trunks, and its glow grew more and more intense until he couldn't keep his eyes open. A tingling sensation passed through his body, and he knew that they would soon arrive on Michiko's home planet.
(Mi: I hope you realize how strange this is to me | Me: Keep typing)
Trunks felt a warm breeze gently brush through his hair, and someone's giggling rang in his ears.
"You can open your eyes now Trunks, we've arrived"
Trunks did as he was told, and he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was slightly blurred, and slowly adjusted to his new surroundings. He really did it; he was on another planet, just like Gohan had been!
"Welcome to my home, Kinmoku Trunks!" announced Michiko from his side
(An: next part is my 'creative writing' that I mentioned!)
He nodded distractively as he observed his surroundings...this planet...it had a sense of peace, calmness, and tranquility, even with all the busy streets, you still had these senses... The scenery was much like what you would see on Chikyuu, but then, it was different at the same time. It was very colorful I suppose you could say...like a fading rainbow after a storm. A multitude of colors blended into each other, most of it from the surrounding buildings. It also wasn't as crowded here, the buildings didn't block out the sky and the sun...wait did they even have a sun like on Chikyuu?
"So what do you think Trunks?" Michiko asked, interrupting his thoughts
"It's beautiful here" he commented while still observing his surroundings
"I'm glad you like it, demo do you feel alright? No lack of oxygen or anything?"
"Iie, I feel fine" he answered while glancing at her. He did a double take as he started staring at her.
Her clothes had completely changed from what she had been wearing before! She now wore a red, back, and gold colored kimono styled dress. He had never seen anything like it before
(I'm not really into describing clothes, so I've drawn a picture, not a very good one mind you, but you can find it at: http://lil_nighingale.tripod.com/justalilolvote/id3.html
please take a look and tell me what you think!!)
Michiko grew nervous as Trunks continued to stare at her "Nande? What is it? Do I have something on my dress? My face? Is there something behind me?" she asked as she turned around
Trunks shook his head "Iie, there's nothing! I was just surprised with what you're wearing"
An angry expression crossed Michiko's face at his comment "And is there something wrong with my dress?" she asked, a slight bit of anger seeping into her tone
"Iie!" he exclaimed raising his hands in a mock defense "there's nothing wrong with your dress!"
She eyed him warily as she turned around "Follow me, we need to go to the palace"
He nodded as he followed her. They had walked for only a few moments when they arrived at the front gates. Trunks stared upwards at the building towering above them in amazement. It was pure white from his angle, but if the light shifted the tiniest bit, a rainbow of colors appeared on its surface. Kind of like the inside of a clean mussel shell (Don't ask). High walls surrounded the palace, and the gates themselves were several meters higher than the walls.
"Like it Trunks?"
Trunks looked back at Michiko and smiled "Hai, it's a stunning palace, demo..."
"Hai?"
"Why doesn't it have any security at the gates? I mean anyone could walk into there"
Michiko shook her head "Kinmoku is a peaceful planet, there is no need for security"
"Honto?"
"Hai, demo just in case..." she pointed at the gate "this gate can only be opened by certain people."
"Soo ka? I don't believe you, that's impossible...unless you have a key, demo I don't see a key hole. Besides, I could probably break these gates in half "
Michiko shrugged "Iie, there is no key. Try to open them yourself"
Trunks looked at her strangely before shrugging and walking up to the gates. Taking a firm grip on one of the bars, he pushed with all his might.
Nothing
'Ok well maybe you have to pull them' he thought as he tried it. Didn't budge at all.
"Ok, fine maybe it isn't as easy as it looks" he admitted
Michiko giggled as she placed a hand upon on of the bars of the gate. A faint glow erupted from underneath her hand. She gave the gate a slight push, causing them to easily swing open.
Trunks gawked for a second before closing his eyes and shaking his head while crossing his arms at his chest.
"I loosened them up for you, that's how you could open them"
"Sure Trunks, Sure" she replied. Her voice seemed far off...
Trunks opened his eyes to find that she had already walked through the gates and was almost at the palace doors.
"Oi! Wait up!" he called out while running towards her. Once he had reached her side, the gates closed, making a large 'Clunk' sound that resonated in Trunk's sensitive ears
"Ooh, creepy" he stated while they walked right through the doors. The inside of the palace was much like the outside; except for the furnishings. To Trunks, it looked exactly like the pictures he'd seen about the medieval period of time. From when exactly? He didn't know, neither did he care; it was all just simply breathtaking.
"Oi! Michiko-hime!" a voiced called out from down the hall
Trunks turned to see a silver haired woman...clad in leather?!
'Oh Kami' he thought as he turned his gaze towards the floor to avoid embarrassment.
(An: This is going by both the anime/manga version of the Sailor Stars...just to tell ya)
"Healer-chan!" Michiko cried as she ran up to be caught in an embrace with the senshi "It's been a long time"
"Hai it is" she replied while pulling out of the hug "Kakyuu-hime told us that you were coming. She saw it in a dream last night that you would be here...with a friend" she finished while motioning with her hand towards Trunks.
(Ok I'm not too sure about this, but I read somewhere that she could see certain events occurring in her dreams....but I'll use it anyways)
"Nani?" Michiko glanced behind her "Oh Trunks! Gomen, I forgot you were here"
Trunks shrugged "I guess I'm easy to forget" he replied as he walked to her side, eyes still fixed on the floor
Michiko frowned slightly "Iie Trunks, don't think that way" Trunks gave no reply, and Michiko sighed. She then noticed that he still hadn't taken his gaze from the floor "Is there something really interesting about the floor Trunks-kun?"
Trunks looked up at her, a blush finding it's way onto his cheeks "Ano, Iie, not really"
'Why is he acting so strangely?' she thought as she looked back at Healer, then it occurred to her. "Healer-chan, onegai de-henshin"
Healer shrugged and pressed the small star-shaped earring. Lights wrapped around her body and when they cleared, there stood Kou Yaten instead of Sailor StarHealer.
Trunks' eyes widened in shock "N-nande???" he asked as he took a step backwards.
Yaten frowned slightly "Is there something wrong?"
Trunks shook his head, still confused as to how a woman...became a man...
Yaten sighed and motioned for both of them to follow "Kakyuu-hime is waiting for you" he announced as they walked down the long corridor.
They soon arrived at the doors to the throne room where Kakyuu-hime currently was. The doors here were huge! They reminded Trunks of the gates at the front of the castle.
Yaten gently pushed open the doors, and announced that Michiko and Trunks had arrived.
Kakyuu-hime smiled "It is good to see you again obasan" she greeted as she stepped down from her throne to catch Michiko in a hug.
Trunks studied them both as they talked to each other. Neither of them really looked alike... Kakyuu had red hair, while Michiko had black with the gold and silver stands weaved through her hair. There was a small height difference...although that wasn't too uncommon. Their features were almost the same...
"Oh, Gomen minna-san, this is Trunks. The last prince of Vegita-sei" Michiko announced
"Nani?? Demo Vegita-sei was destroyed!" exclaimed Yaten
Trunks nodded his head "Hai, it was, demo my tousan was the last prince of Vegita-sei before Freeza destroyed it" he explained "He survived the destruction and went to Chikyuu where he met my kaasan"
"Oh, and all this time we believed that the Sayians were an extinct race" exclaimed Sailor StarFighter who had just joined the conversation with Sailor StarMaker.
Trunks' eyes widened in shock at the appearance of Fighter and Maker, and his eyes soon found their way back to the floor. 'Why do these senshi have to wear such skimpy clothes? You don't see the Zsenshi wearing stuff like that!' (Mi: Ooh, I hope not!!)
Michiko giggled and turned to both senshi "Would either of you mind to de-henshin for our guest?"
Both senshi shook their heads as same lights that had surrounded Healer surrounded them.
"Trunks, meet Kou Yaten, Kou Seiya, Kou Taiki, and Kakyuu-hime " Michiko introduced as the all nodded their heads lightly to acknowledge the greeting.
"I sense trouble in your heart obasan, is there something wrong?" Kakyuu-hime asked
"Haven't you sensed it?" Michiko asked surprised
"Iie, what?"
Michiko's expression changed into confusion. How was this possible? Kakyuu should have sensed Chaos's power...
"Chaos has returned" She stated grimly
Gasps and masaka 's came from the four as they hear the news.
"How is that possible Michiko-hime?" Seiya asked
"It was reborn from the cauldron. It was bound to happen"
"What are we to do?" asked Kakyuu
"Cosmos has found her senshi, and are currently gathering forces on Chikyuu"
"Fitting that the battle should take place on the same planet" Taiki said grimly
Seiya on the other hand brightened at the mention of Cosmos "Odango-chan is there?"
Michiko could have laughed, 'same old Seiya' "Hai she is. And I am here to ask for your help for the battle"
Kakyuu nodded "Of course, you can count on us, demo do you know what Chaos is after?"
"Iie, I don't, demo she is going after star seeds again"
"Soo ka?"
"Hai"
Kakyuu's expression turned from determined to concern, which didn't go unnoticed by Michiko.
"Kakyuu, are you sure you wish to help in this battle?"
She looked at Michiko hesitantly, then at her senshi "I don't-"
"Onegai Kakyuu-hime, they need our help" pleaded Seiya
She frowned slightly "Hai, we will help you and Cosmos, demo I'm just worried that our star seeds will be taken"
"That is something I cannot guarantee will not happen"
"Hai I know. When shall we leave?"
Michiko shrugged as a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she barely stifled a yawn.
"You must be tired from your trip Michiko-hime. Perhaps you two should stay the night" suggested Taiki
She glanced at Trunks, who nodded that it was all right with him.
She smiled "Hai, perhaps we will stay for today, demo would one of you like to show Trunks-kun around the city?"
*~* End Chapter 16 *~*
Me: Ok ok, this was a bad place to end, demo I'm getting close to 12 pages, which is way past my writing limit.
Mi: this is a bad place to end! How could you end it here?
Me: *sticks tongue out at Michiko*
Mi: Aww Come on! Oh! So is my punishment over?
Me: Hai, I suppose so
Mi: Great! TRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWWWWAAAAAAA!!
Me: Oi!! You promised!!!
Mi: Gomen, demo I can't help it!
Me: *sighs* I thought this might happen...
