**********************
Hitomi, the Outers, Yukari, Prince Oni, Van, and the others were walking to Van's castle slowly. Van took some glances at Hitomi, while Haruka gave him death glares. When they finally reached the castle, Van told his servants to bring Hitomi to the best guestroom in the castle and to make sure it was close to Van's room. Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, Oni, and Yukari, the worst guestrooms in the castle and also they were far from Hitomi. Haruka was about to kill Van, for giving them shity rooms but was held back by Michiru, and Setsuna who were having a lot of trouble calming her down.
"You good for nothing piece of SHIT!" Haruka swore loudly at Van. "You WILL give us some good rooms NOW! And it BETTER be near Kitten's?!?!?!?"
"You don't DESERVE my good rooms! And I WON'T make it close to Hitomi!" Van smirked, while Hitomi teleported right behind Van just in time to here the fight.
"What on Gaea is going on here? And Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, Oni, and Yukari.. Why are your rooms so far from mines? And why are they like trash?" Hitomi asked.
"Kitten! This Bastard won't give us rooms that are close to your room, AND he's giving us these SHITY ROOMS!" Haruka yelled very pissed off, and Hitomi turned to Van with a glare.
"Van! You WILL give my friends, AND protectors, rooms that are as good as mines, AND it better be in the same corridor as MY room! And when I mean at the same corridor, I mean that I can see their rooms from my room! Or we're leaving!" Hitomi said sternly.
"Errrrrr...... FINE?!" Van said pissed off as he pointed to a servant that was near him to bring Hitomi's friends to their rooms. "You! Bring THEM to their rooms!"
"Yes Lord Van!" The servant replied as he motioned Hitomi's so called friends to follow him. Haruka started calm down so Michiru and Setsuna let her go but stood beside her incase she decides to attack Van again. But Haruka was not through with him yet, as he past Van and gave him one of her famous death glares and followed the servant.
"Hitomi... Why does that bitch call you Kitten? And what happen to those people who disappeared that you called the outers after your 'friends' appeared. And one of the outers said Kitten too? The outers also called you Princess." Van asked Hitomi.
"Van...... I'll explain everything at dinner.... And please give my friends a chance..... I don't want you to get hurt because of Haruka over protectiveness...." Hitomi explained as they walked to the garden.
"Me? Get hurt by a girl... No! A tomboy! I think not! She's probably just weak!" Van smirked.
"Van.... Do you want to know what Haruka's capable of?" Hitomi asked.
"Being a self centered bitch?" Van mocked.
"Um.... No! I don't appreciate you saying things like about Haruka or any other of my friends! She's capable of destroying Fanelia with one of her attacks...Her favorite outer planet Sailor Scout is Sailor Uranus..." Hitomi explained. "And I'll explain the rest at dinner... Please... Just give them a chance, especially Haruka and Oni... Do it for me..." Hitomi said.
"Oh alright.. Anything for you... I will try my best to not strangle them.... Because I love you with all my heart and always will....." Van whispered the last sentence. 'Right! Like Haruka can do that!'
"Thank you.... I better go now.. I promised my friends to show them around Gaea alone... Bye!" Hitomi said as she walked away.
************************************************************************
At dinner, everything went well except for the part of Haruka and Van who were fight for who gets to sit with Hitomi. Hitomi got so annoyed that she sat beside Oni and Merle. Isabelle sat beside Van and was staring at Hitomi and her friends.
"So Hitomi.. How have you been the past 6 years?" Allen asked.
"Well a lot has been happening," Hitomi replied.
"Like what?" Merle asked interested.
"Well... I trained my powers and strength, and now I can easily destroy a galaxy with one of my weakest attacks. I was training because in a about a week the Pedestrians will attack Gaea..I also got my memories back from my past life from the outers who um. decided to disappear and leave me here not protected!" Hitomi lied.
{Sorry guys! I couldn't think of anything else} Hitomi said telepathically.
{It's Okay!} They all said in unison.
{But did you have to say that we disappeared leaving you unprotected?} Haruka asked a bit mad.
{Well do you have any other ideas?} Hitomi replied.
{You could have said that we went to search for the Pedestrian's hideout} Haruka answered.
{Haruka! She said she was sorry!} Yukari said a bit annoyed.
{Alright! I was just asking!} Haruka fought back.
{Whatever.} Yukari exclaimed.
"Ya! Because they're stupid! Especially that Sailor Uranus bitch!" Van exclaimed.
"SAY WHAT?! Ohhhhhh! You're a dead man Van Slanzar De Fanel!!! How dare you say that the outers are stupid and that my favorite Sailor Scout is a bitch! You BASTARD! They can destroy your fucked up castle with one of their weakest attack!" Haruka yelled trying to kill Van but was being held back by Oni and Michiru.
"Is that a challenge?!" Van bit back.
"That's enough! Haruka! If you don't stop right now, there WILL be consequences! And Van! Don't You DARE say anything like that to the outers! Or I WILL let the Pedestrians destroy Fanelia when they attack!" Hitomi screamed as everyone went quiet.
"Forgive me Princess." Haruka bowed.
"Um. H.Hitomi? Who are the Pedestrians? And why did she call you princess? And what were you talking about when you said about you got your memories back from the past?" Millerna asked.
"I'll explain everything." Hitomi replied calming down. "First of all, she called me princess because I am a princess. I am the first crown princess of Universe, the Moons, the Suns, the Stars, the Planets, the Draconians, the Star Angels, the Dimensions, Time, Space, and Atlantis. Which is the highest ranking of Royalty.... I'm sure you've all heard legends and stories all about the Star Alliance when the whole Universe was at piece a thousand years ago. And the Star Galaxy was the happiest place of all. There were fireworks and parties every night, with dancing and laughing. My mother Queen Megami, a fare and gentle ruler who was raising me to follow in her footsteps and rule the Universe. One night, we were attacked by the Pedestrians. That's when the outers come in. The helped defend my kingdom from them, but they were no match with the Pedestrians.... Th... They were killed. I was then found by the princess of the Pedestrians, princess Isabella. She was jealous of me for me having eternal beauty and that I was the next in line to the throne. Not only that, she hated me for being the chosen holder of the Star Staff. I tried to fight her, but since I was a princess, I wasn't really supposed to train so I was no match for her. She tortured my in front of my mother and then killed me. Queen Megami had enough of this, so she used the Star Staff and trapped everyone within the staff. Mother couldn't kill the Pedestrians otherwise she would have killed everyone else. The Star Kingdom was forever destroyed. Her power broken, Queen Megami sends everyone to a new future throughout the four corners of the Universe to be reborn on again with no memories of the Star Kingdom whatsoever. Queen Megami made sure that one day we would remember our past too. Now the Pedestrians want me dead, so they can take the Star Staff and rule the Universe with it. So now they're going to attack Gaea in about a week or so, because they also want the power of Atlantis and some Draconians on their side to handle Atlantis's power. And the Guymelefs, um.... they won't really do anything since they have the power to destroy a Kingdom with Magic... Magic must defeat magic..... My friends over there were part of my past too, but I'm not allowed to tell you because it can ruin the future.... I know today were very mean and cold to all of you... Because we thought you guys were already at the Pedestrian's side..... We're very sorry...That's basically it and oh my gosh! I didn't really introduce them to you guys!" Hitomi exclaimed.
"Finally! The princess is finally going to introduce us to her lovely friends even though we've been waiting for over 6 hours for her to introduce us!" Yukari said sarcastically.
"That's okay Hitomi!" Allen said a bit shocked for the new information they just heard.
"Sorry guys! I totally forgot! Um... This is Yukari Uchida, my best friend since I can remember. That's Michiru Kaiou, I've met her 3 years ago and now we're like best friends. This is Setsuna Meiou, I've also met her 3 years ago and she's like an older sister to me. Hotaru Tomoe over there, I met her 3 years ago and now she's like a younger sister. And that's Haruka Tenoh. Um. I think you already know her! I also met her 3 years ago and she's very over protected of me! Hehehehe!" Hitomi introduced leaving out Oni. (Um. I'm just going to cut through while Hitomi's introducing and say that I forgot what I was going to say! Oh well... I think Hitomi's done introducing everyone! ^_^())
"Um Hitomi? You forgot to introduce that guy over there... Whose he?" Gaddess asked.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... He's...... Um..... His name is Prince Oni Suns. The first crowned Prince of Suns..... I just met him before we came to Gaea...." Hitomi stammered.
"You okay Hitomi?" Dryden asked.
"Um..... Ya!" Hitomi replied a little hesitantly as she noticed Isabelle for the first time.
"Um.... Van? Who's she?" Hitomi asked as she pointed towards Isabelle.
"Oh her? She's~" Van was cut off by Isabelle.
"His future wife and future queen of Fanelia! I've been wanting to meet you since the you saved Gaea years ago and STOLE Lord Van's heart!" Isabelle interrupted rather rudely.
"Um....Ya? You're Van's futu~" Hitomi started heartbroken and was cut off by Isabelle.
"Don't you DARE just say Van! You have no right! You have to say 'Lord Van' because you're in HIS castle! You're not welcome in his castle if you call him just Van! I'm not going to allow you to not treat my future husband with no respect! And yes I am Van's future husband!" Isabelle said coldly. Hitomi stood and started to glow a light blue.
"I have to go.." Hitomi exclaimed as she turned to her friends and protectors. "Don't bother looking for me because I'm going to hide my energy.." Hitomi exclaimed tears falling down her face as she teleported away.
"Hitomi!/Princess!/Kitten!" Van, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, Yukari, Oni, Merle, and everyone else except Isabelle who had an evil smirk in her face exclaimed worriedly.
"How DARE you talk to OUR princess like that woman!" Haruka said giving one of her famous death glares. "I'd kill
"You will PAY for what you've done to Hitomi! I swear it?!" Setsuna said coldly.
"Well she got what SHE deserve! And don't talk to me like that! I'm the first princess of the country Beldestria! So you better treat me with respect!" Isabelle screamed.
'Beldestria? I've never heard of a country called Beldestria?' Michiru thought as she realized it was closed to Pedestrian. "Are you jealous or something?"
"Guys! Enough of this!" Yukari exclaimed. "We have to find Hitomi!"
"Yukari's right! We better go!" Oni replied as they started to walk out of the dinning room when Hotaru turned around to face Isabelle.
"We're on to you Isabelle! You better watch out!" Hotaru glared coldly as they all left. Van was in shock and was in some sort of trance. The pendent that Hitomi gave him 6 years ago was glowing brightly. Isabelle snapped him out of his trance-like stage by clinging on to him.
"It's okay Lord Van... That Hitomi girl won't hurt you anymore because you have me! Now we can get married in piece and have a happy family!" Isabelle exclaimed happily as Van pushed her off him. "OUCH! What's YOUR problem?"
"Pack your bags and leave this castle this instance! I WILL not be forced to MARRY you even though you're the last female on earth?! If I ever see you or here that you're in Fanelia, you won't see another day! You HURT the one I love and because of YOU she's gone!!!" Van screamed as he ran to the garden.
'Excellent! Everything is going according to plan! Hehehehehehehe! Now to get Lord Van to fall for me! Looks like I'm going to have to use a love spell to get him to fall in love for me! The Hitomi.... I'll threaten to kill him unless you give me your throne and Star Staff!!!!!!!!! Muahahahahahahaha!' Isabelle thought wickedly in her mind as she left the dinning room to go 'pack'.
************************************************************************
Three shadowy figures were hiding behind the wall of the castle, beside the dinning room.
"That woman is really asking for it!" The tallest figure whispered angrily.
"Calm down! All we have to do is find the princess... Have any ideas on where she is?" The shortest figure asked.
"I could feel she's near by..... She's probably in the gardens!" The figure who was middle sized among the other two replied.
"How did you manage to trace her presence? I remember she said that she was going to hide her energy so no one could find her....." The shortest figure explained.
"I don't know... It's almost as if the princess knew we were here and that she wants us to come to her......" The middle sized figure answered.
"We better go before someone sees us...." The tallest figure exclaimed as they ran to the garden that they felt Hitomi's presence in. When they approached the garden, they saw Hitomi hiding behind a tree as she wiped tears the tears in her eyes.
"You guys want to surprise her?" The tall figure whispered to the other two.
"Sure! Why not?" The other two whispered in unison as all three of them sneaked towards.
"I was expecting you three!" Hitomi exclaimed as she turned towards them which totally freaked them out because
