**********************

As Hitomi watched the full moon, Amara and Michelle walked into her balcony. (The outer scouts have been living with Hitomi ever since.) When they saw her, they had a look of concern in their eyes.

"Hey kitten, what's wrong?" Amara asked.

"Huh?" Hitomi turned around when she saw Amara and Michelle. "Oh. It's nothing."

"You're thinking about him again aren't you? You know you can't hide anything from us..." Michelle spoke.

"Okay. fine. I am."Hitomi said in defeat.

"Kitten. You should forget about him.. You know you're engaged by birth to the prince of suns Amara said sadly.

"I know.. But I can't help it.. I still love him with all my heart... how can I forget about him? Not only that! We're going to Gaea tonight.. And I'm obviously going to see him again.." Hitomi exclaimed as a few tears fell down her cheeks.

"Hitomi.. We want your happiness.. There still might be away you can be with him.. but until then... You'll have to act a bit coldly to him and the Gaean's until we're all a 100% sure that you know they're not working for the Pedestrians.. For their sakes." Michelle said as she put a hand on her shoulder.

"I know. It's going to be hard.. But I will try..Just to keep all of them safe." Hitomi said as she put a small smile on her face and dried her tears.

"That's our girl." Amara replied.

"We're all ready to go you three....." Trista said as she walked into Hitomi's balcony.

"Okay.. Let's go.....Wait a minute.... where's Yukari and Hotaru?" Hitomi asked.

"They're outside waiting for us.." Trista replied as they all nodded.

"Okay.. Lets go!" Hitomi said happily as they all went out side.

"Took you long enough!" Hotaru said teasingly.

"Ha ha ha.. Very funny." Amara said pretending to be mad as everyone laughed.

"Okay. we have to all be in a circle remember.... And you outers are supposed to transform..." Yukari said impatiently. as everyone went into a circle.

"Oh ya! We almost forgot!" Hotaro replied as the outers took out their transformation pens.

"Uranus Planet Power!" Amara exclaimed as she stood in her sailor's suit, Sailor Uranus.

"Neptune Planet Power!" Michelle exclaimed as she stood in her sailor's suit, Sailor Neptune.

"Pluto Planet Power!" Trista exclaimed as she stood in her sailor's suit, Sailor Pluto.

"Saturn Planet Power!" Hotaru exclaimed as she stood in her sailor's suit, Sailor Saturn.

When the outers finished their transformation, they all saw a man with brown hair and hazel eyes approached them. Everyone sensed his power and got ready to fight. He had shining reddish orange armour with a golden cape.

"I demand to know who you are and what you want!" Hitomi said coldly. "Princess Hitomi... I'm surprised you don't remember me..... I've searched far and wide for years.. Now I finally found you and you don't remember me?.. I am Prince Oni of Suns... Your future husband and loyal knight... I've come to help you on your journey in Gaea.." Oni said as he bowed down.

"How do we know you're telling the truth!" Uranus growled.

"Like this..." Oni said as he closed his eyes and a sun appeared on his forehead.

Everyone gasped, but Uranus scowled under her breath.

"You may rise.. You may journey along with us but I want you to know that I'm in love with someone already.. and I understand that I have to marry you in the future..." Hitomi said sadly.

"I know my princess.... I'm also in love with someone.. but I'm engaged by birth to you.." Oni replied sadly.

"Maybe we can find away to marry the ones we love" Hitomi said excitedly.

"You may be right princess!" Oni exclaimed.

"Yeah! Oh and please don't call me any royalty stuff... It get really annoying and-" Hitomi was cut off by Sailor Uranus.

"We have to get to Gaea now!" Uranus screamed pissed off that he's coming.

"Alright Uranus... Hold your horses," Hitomi laughed at Uranus's action.

They all formed a circled as Hitomi closed her eyes and the Silver Star appeared on her forehead. A bright light blue column appeared and everyone started to fly up and disappear.

************************************************************************

Meanwhile on Gaea, at a castle in Fanelia, a raven haired man stood in his balcony and gazed at the beautiful sky. It has been 6 years since he last seen Hitomi and he missed her so much. Van was more muscular and more handsome than before. He matured over the years, and was expected to marry a princess in this year. He hated what was coming. He absolutely refused to marry anyone and always got away with it. He was thinking of the vision he had last night in a dream.

VISION

"Where am I?" Van asked as he walked through a forest. As he walked on, he saw 5 women and a man in one side and a woman with sandy waste line hair that looked like Hitomi on the other side. The all wore strange clothes and the 5 girls and the man were physically fighting what look like Hitomi. They were fighting with these strange sword like weapons each with its own colour. (It was strange to him. -_-;;)

"Hitomi!" Van cried as he ran to the battle field.

"Hold it! Not another step!" Hitomi said coldly as she turned to face him.

"Hitomi? What do you mean? It's me. Van?" Van exclaimed as he walked closer.

"I told you not another step! Uranus! Teach him a lesson!" Hitomi exclaimed.

"Hitomi...." Van listened with a heartbroken expression on his face. He couldn't believe what she just said.

"It would be my pleasure! Uranus World Shaking!" The woman with brownish/blonde hair screamed as a ball of golden energy that's shape like the planet Uranus. The ball of energy hit him before he had a chance to dodge the blast.

"Hitomi... Why?" He asked as he closed his eyes.

END OF VISION

'What's the vision trying to tell me? Is it trying to tell me the future?' Van thought as the red pendant Hitomi gave him before she left 6 years ago started to faintly glow.

"Lord Van!!!" A cat like woman screamed as he gave Van a hug. "There you are!"

"What do you want Merle?" Van exclaimed annoyed that he was pulled out of his thoughts. Merle had grown more beautiful and more like a lady. Her curves showed and her hair was shoulder length. She has grown more mature over the years and was more lady-like. (It takes longer for cat-like humans for their hair to grow long I think.. ^_^())

"Gaddess just informed me that Millerna, Dryden, Allen, and......" Merle paused nervously. "Your future wife princess Isabelle from the country of the Belldestrian..... Are outside.."

"My FUTURE wife is here?! Who said I have a future wife?! If I did have a future wife it would Hitomi!" Van said furiously but had this pain in his heart when he said that like his heart was stabbed a thousand times. Merle new Van still loved Hitomi and felt sad about it.

"Lord Van... You're 21 years old... you need to marry a princess this year... And I don't think Hitomi will be here anytime soon! I know you miss her a lot and still love her! It's not like none of us miss her! She's not coming! You need to get back to reality!" Merle yelled.

"I WILL NOT marry ANYONE other than HITOMI?!?!?! Get that into your freaking head!!!" Van yelled.

"FINE!!!!! Just get your freaking ass outside NOW?!?!?!" Merle screamed boiling red as she stormed out of his room.

Van just stood there boiling red. "Like HELL I'll go?!?!?! There is NO way I'll meet that bitch!?!?!" Van screamed as he saw bright light blue pillar appear in the forest.

"Hitomi!" Van said happily as he ran outside. As he ran he felt a weird feeling in his heart. Van ran past Millerna, Dryden, Allen, Gaddess, Merle, and his future wife. All of them saw the light blue pillar appear on the sky and knew it was Hitomi.

"Hitomi's back!" Van said happily.

"Yeah! I can't wait to see her!" Merle said extremely happy.

"Well I'll be! I never thought she'd come back," Dryden said surprisingly.

'I've missed you Hitomi a lot... And you finally came back...'Allen thought. They all followed Van excitedly to the forest where the bright light blue pillar hit Gaea. Everyone except one person.

"So.. This Hitomi I've heard about is back eh... If she thinks she can take Lord Van away from me.... She's mistaken.. I'll make sure she suffers!" Van's future wife, Isabelle spoke evilly.

************************************************************************

Somewhere in the forest of Gaea where the pillar landed, Hitomi, the outers, Yukari, and Oni stood.

"It looks even more beautiful since the last time I came here.." Hitomi said happily.

"It's a beautiful planet... I wonder what the Gaean's are like?" Michelle asked.

"I know! You can't trust them right now..." Uranus said without emotions.

"Uranus!" Trista scolded. "Any ways.... what do you want to do now.. Lets just take the day off today... then we'll start doing our mission tomorrow! How many vote yes?" Everyone but Uranus put their hands. But when she saw Hitomi glare at her, she quickly raised her hand up.

"Okay? What do you want to do then?" Hotaru asked.

"I know! Since we have lots of time. Lets test our abilities!" Hitomi said happily. "How bout, all of you against me?"

"That wouldn't be fair for you Hitomi..." Trista laughed.

"You mean it wouldn't be fair to you guys.. Come on.. I've been hiding like 99% of my powers to all of you, except Oni because he just came!" Hitomi insisted as everyone looked at her in a not believing way.

"Alright Hitomi... How about an energy sword fight?" Hotaru asked as everyone looked at her.

"Hotoru!!!" Amara glared. "Absolutely not!" Uranus screamed as everyone agreed with her except Hotaru and Oni.

"How about you have no choice!" Hitomi smirked.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr....." Uranus growled.

"You wouldn't want to disobey your princess would you?" Hitomi said playfully.

"Fine!!! But I'm going easy on you!" Uranus yelled as everyone laughed.

"Soot your self. When you start losing. Then you'll know when to give me your best." Hitomi smirked as they all constructed an energy sword and they started fighting. Uranus's energy sword was gold, Neptune's was, aqua- marine, Pluto's was dark green, Saturn's was purple, Hitomi's was light blue, Oni's was red, and Yukari's was white. (I know Yukari doesn't have any powers.. But work with me..^_^())

************************************************************************

Meanwhile, as Van and the others ran to where the pillar hit, they saw a woman with what looked like Hitomi on one side, 5 women on the other side with a man all attacking Hitomi. Hitomi wore dark blue mini-flares jeans and a baby-blue shirt. The red head also know as Yukari, wore dark blue mini-flares with a red tank top.

"NOOOO! Hitomi!" Van yelled in horror as Allen and Van took out their swords and ran in front of Hitomi.

Hitomi saw Van and Allen run towards her. 'Van... I have to act a bit coldly to them.' Hitomi thought.

"What in hell do you think your doing hurting a beautiful girl like her?!" Allen said coldly with his sword in his hand ready to strike anytime.

"I demand to know who you are? And where you came from? You're not welcome in Fanelia so leave!" Van said ready to tear all of them apart but had a strange feeling that something's wrong.

"Well well well. Look what the cat dragged in guys! I think we've hit the kiddie's play area and they want us out." Uranus mocked.

"Who do you think you are!" Van yelled.

"I think your right Uranus." Hitomi mocked from behind.

"Hitomi? What are you talking about?" Van and Allen said in unison.

"You'll see!" Hitomi mocked as she jumped at least 20 feet in the air and did a cartwheel in the air and landed beside the strange people. Van and Allen were surprised of how high she jumped in the air. "Uranus. Why don't you show them what you are capable of doing! So they know that they should know better not to kick us out and disturbing our training." Hitomi exclaimed as Van and Allen were shocked.

"Training?" Allen asked.

"What are you talking about Hitomi?" Van asked.

"You really want to know?" Hitomi said coldly.

"Hitomi! This is not funny!" Merle said angrily.

"I wouldn't talk like that to me!" Hitomi said coldly.

"Hitomi! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?!?!?!" Van yelled getting pissed. 'Wait a minute... This feels familiar! Wait a minute! This is almost like the vision I had last night! Then that means.... How could you Hitomi?' Van thought in horror and broken hearted at the same time.

"That's IT?! You've said the last! Uranus. Show them what I mean." Hitomi exclaimed. 'I don't think I can go through with this..' She thought.

{Amara. Don't hurt them badly okay?} Hitomi said telepathically.

{Don't worry!} Amara answered.

"It would be my pleasure princess," Uranus grinned.

"Why is she calling you princess Hitomi?" Allen asked.

"Maybe because she's a princess!" Yukari exclaimed.

"Enough chatter! Uranus!" Hitomi interrupted as she looked at Uranus.

"I hope you enjoy this...Uranus World Shaking!" A ball of golden energy that was shaped as the planet Uranus appeared and was nearing Allen and Van. They both looked in shock as the ball of energy hit them. Smoke started to choke everyone as everyone started to cough.

"Lord Van!" Merle screamed as everyone watched in horror.
