He.. Will Hotaru have any big part in this story? She's my absolute most favorite character! Thanks for E-mailing me!

Hey Crystal-chan. Uhm, well, she's mentioned quite a few times in the story, and a few in the epilogue, but I wouldn't call it a big part. I'm re-writing the end chapters, so I can add in more of her for you, if you wish. It's no problem, and I'll e-mail you for the remaining chapters as well. I think theres…8 or 9 more….

Chapter five: Invader of Dreams

* * * * * * * * *

Sakura was standing at the top of the temple again. Another girl was standing next to The Guardian of Time.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked curiously.

"The Soldier of Silence and Death." The girl whispered, her purple outfit swaying. Her short dark purple hair blew in the warm wind. It was the girl who scared off Meilin. Sakura slowly nodded.

"So. You have caught WOODY. Very good. Like the card said, some of the others will join your side. The others won't. We'll try to help, but so far you've been helping us." Artemis said, flying over to Sakura.

"You need to watch out. They will try to kill you. I'll try to protect you, as will Setsuna. But I'm afraid we cannot be there 24 hours a day. Well...I can. But I won't be. I have business in other dimensions to take care of. But like I said, Setsuna," she motioned to the tall green haired girl, "and Saturn," she pointed to the Soldier of Death, "will help you. But please Sakura, be careful." Artemis said quietly, flying back to the figures, their forms becoming slightly more visible. Sakura could almost fully see a young woman, her aqua hair flying around hr face. She smiled at Sakura. Sakura nodded to her and turned around. She closed her eyes and braced herself to be punched in the face. But nothing happened. She slowly opened one eye, then the other, not finding anything. She turned back around, looking towards her Goddess, and instead come face to face with Meilin.

"Don't try to steal Syaoran from me, Kinomoto. Or else!" Meilin shoved Sakura. As Meilin ran away Sakura wobbled back and forth on the top of the cement stairs, but she couldn't balance. She fell backwards.

* * * * * * * * *

THUD

"Ow!! Get. Off. Me. NOW!!!!" Kero shouted at the top of his tiny, cotton lungs. Sakura opened her eyes, then quickly sat up, hitting her head on her bed-side table. She moaned, discovering that she was lying on the floor.

"Sakura!! Get off me!!" Kero yelled again.

"Shhhhh. You'll wake everybody. Then what'll they think when they see a talking stuffed animal? Huh?" Sakura hissed.

"Well, get off me and I won't have to yell!" Kero said, trying to push the tall sixteen year old off him. Sakura sighed and stood up, untangling herself from her quilt. 'Why does Meilin keep invading my dreams?' Sakura asked herself. This had been the fourth one so far, except every one was slightly different. Another girl would appear. Last time it was a short, blonde haired one, clad in a blue uniform. The time before that it was a brown haired girl in a green uniform, and previous to that a blue haired girl with a blue unform on, who started to play on a little blue computer. This time it was the aqua haired girl. She glanced at her bright green clock as she sat down on her bed. 6:27. Sakura sighed again.

"No way I'm going to get back to sleep," she said, so she threw on a black skirt and a light pink shirt and trotted out the door, hearing Kero snoring loudly in his drawer. Sakura quietly sprinted down the long flight of stairs, jumping into her shoes. It was Monday, but luckily there was no school due to some stupid teachers conference. Sakura quietly slipped out the front door, closing it securely behind her careful as to not wake anyone up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura now sat under a willow in the park. 'Maybe I should just tell Syaoran I like him. He is pretty cute....' Sakura thought, smiling. She stood back up, looking around. Nobody was out, so Sakura pulled the Key of Clow off her pale neck.

"The Key That Holds The Power Of The Darkness.

Reveal Your True Form To Me.

I, Sakura, Commands Thee Under Convert.

Release!"

The pink staff appeared in her hand, her silver nails flickering in the dim sunlight.

"FLY! Release and dispel!" White wings sprouted on the end of the staff. Sakura jumped on, heading towards the temple in Juban.

'I'm gonna need lots of good luck charms if I'm going to re-capture all the cards.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So do you get it? I need you two to watch her. I will help, but we're having trouble in Epsilon, and you know how the Eplongs get angry if I don't show up. I also have to go to Neptune and Uranus. The mermaids on Neptune are drowning Princess Lepia's suitors, and the Harpies on Uranus are eating the village people," Artemis shook her head, smiling. Setsuna grinned, and Hotaru shivered. "So, since you two are my strongest, I would appreciate it if you guarded her." Setsuna nodded.

"I know we're your strongest, but our powers are…well, our strongest ones would kill us. Then what good would we be? I don't know how well we'll be able to hold up." Setsuna paused. Artemis nodded, understanding. She placed her hands on two girls' foreheads.

"Delphino, Ying Fa.

Protectros mi Una et Toru.

Protectros Ying Fa.

Fro Alpha deus Omega,"

(The sacred Sakura. The protectors, my Setsuna and Hotaru. Protect Sakura. From Alpha, to Omega.)(That's copyright to Adjrina Industries! If you take, you must pay me a $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 fine! And just to tell you, I don't have a sense of humor. I'm totally serious!)

A bright flash leapt from Artemis' hands, leaving Setsuna and Hotaru dazed.

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

Sakura saw Artemis and Setsuna, sitting on the top steps of the temple, followed then the bright flash. She flew over, quietly levitating over their heads. She watched as Setsuna shook her head, and Hotaru attempted to stand up, but failed.

"Boo!" She said loudly, causing Hotaru to scream and bury her head in Artemis' silver silk dress. Artemis herself nearly had a heart attack and Setsuna smiled.

"You shouldn't do that. Hotaru scares easily! But I think I discovered something that could actually kill Artemis!" Setsuna said, and Sakura smiled apologetically.

"Sorry. I was bored." Setsuna nodded and winked.

"Aren't you up kinda early? You normally sleep `till noon." Artemis said, shooting an evil glance at Setsuna, who just began to whistle, and pushed the shaking Hotaru off her. Sakura jumped off her wand.

"I had a nightmare. Meilin tried to kill me. She pushed me down these stairs." Sakura looked downward, shaking.

"Well. It's always good to know that the guy who you have a major crush on fiancée is trying to kill you through you dreams. I've actually done that a couple of times." Artemis said, brushing off her skirt, staring into space. Sakura glared at her, sticking out her tongue. Artemis grabbed it, causing Sakura to fall into Setsuna's lap. Sakura quickly front flipped off, sitting on the cool steps.

"I'll never win," she muttered to herself. Artemis shook her head.

"No, you never will." She turned to the other girls, avoiding a glare from Sakura the was strong enough to kill Artemis, an immortal goddess.

"You two have a new transformation phrase. It's your planet, then Eternal Bliss." As the two girls nodded their communicators beeped.

"Girls. Another attack in the park. We'll have difficulties getting in. There's a force field surrounding it, but we'll deal with it when we get there. Go!" A voice said. Setsuna stood up, brushing off her butt.

"Pluto. Eternal. Bliss!" Setsuna disappeared, and in her place stood Black Eternal Pluto, just like in Sakura's dreams. But now thick black and silver streaks ran through her hair. Her tiara was gone, and in its place was the symbol of Pluto, done in black. Sakura nodded.

"Cool. Wings They always come in handy." she said. Hotaru gulped.

"Eternal. Bliss!" Artemis whispered, disappearing. She reappeared a moment later, dressed as she was in Sakura's dream. Hotaru gulped again.

"Uh oh."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten minutes later all the girls were standing in the park. That is, all of them except Artemis, Pluto, and Saturn.

"Get these thing off my back!" a voice yelled. All the girls spun, finding Sakura and Artemis dragging Saturn into the park. A woman with green and black hair followed close behind, shaking her head. Sakura and Artemis threw Black Eternal Saturn to the ground. Saturn sat up.

"I. Don't. Want. WINGS!!!!!" Black Eternal Saturn screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Saturn? What the-?" Sailor Jupiter began, taking a step forward.

"Firey!" Sakura cried, running toward the card. BONK!! Sakura tumbled to the ground.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that force field thingy." she said, and Sailor Mercury shook her head, typing on her little computer. Sakura ulled out her staff, calling out theF FLY card, none of the other girls paying any attention to her. Sakura jumped up on the wand, flying up, directly over the force field.

"I've almost got it, but you'll have to move fast. I won't be able to hold it up very long and I don't wan...." Mercury stopped, noticing Sakura inside the field.

"See Mercury, you don't need that funky, hi-tech computer!" Sakura said slowly, as if speaking to a little child. Mercury scowled as Sakura laughed, trotting to FIREY. FIREY frowned, then jumped on Sakura, hugging her tightly.

"Stop it Firey!! You're not supposed to listen to her! You're supposed to obey us!!!" A voice called out. FIREY spun, finding DARK and LIGHT. FIREY stuck her tongue out at them, releasing a breathless Sakura.

"Ummmm...who is that girl?" Sailor Neptune asked, pointing to Pluto.

"Neptune! Jeez! I never took you as an idiot!" Black Eternal Pluto responded.

"Puu?" Mini Moon asked, stepping towards her guardian. Pluto nodded. Sailor Moon leaned around Sailor Mars.

"What in Hades happened to you?" she asked slowly. Sailor Venus whistled.

"Yeah, ya look like Artemis, and that is never a good thing!" Artemis lunged for the Soldier of Love, who jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding Artemis' death punch.

"It's her final transformation. I need her strength now, so-" Artemis was interrupted by Sakura, who was yelling loudly.

"Firey! Return to your power confined!!" Flames surrounded Sakura as FIREY disappeared back into the pink card. Sakura faced DARK and LIGHT, making one of her evil faces. LIGHT gulped, then ran. DARK sweat dropped, then followed the fleeing card. Sakura giggled and did a quick back flip.

"Two down, fifty to go!" She punched her fists into the air, like Ash on Pokemon, when he catches a Pokemon thingy.

"Fif...ty? Like, five zero? Five times ten? Half of a hundred?" Pluto asked, her eyes wide.

"Forty seven, actually." Syaoran said, stepping out of the trees, handing Sakura the SWORD, SHIELD, and WATERY.

"Ohmigod! Thank you!" Sakura jumped on Syaoran, hugging him tightly. Sakura pulled away, jumping up and down excitedly. Syaoran blush a deep crimson, bowing to cover it.

"Ohhh...you two make such a cute couple!" Uranus said, smiling wickedly. Sakura glanced wide eyed at Syaoran, who was turning an unnatural shade of red, one not known to the human race. Sakura looked back at the Sailor Scouts. All of them were grinning. At least, almost all of them. Saturn was having a mental breakdown. Artemis was struggling to calm her down, saying the wings would go away once she de-transformed, but Saturn wasn't listening. Pluto was sitting cross legged on the small Sailor, reading a YM magazine. A small crowd had gathered to watch the purple haired Soldier struggle.

"Hey, Saturn. Your horoscope says if you don't calm down right now, a bigger, stronger, green-haired Sailor Scout is gonna beat you to a bloody pulp!" Black Eternal Pluto gasped. Neptune rolled her eyes. Pluto held the magazine up for her to see the article. Neptune shook her head.

"`Kay, get off her so we can take her home. I think her head will explode unless we get those wings off her back." Neptune tried to shove Pluto off the screaming Black Eternal Saturn, but failed.

"Awwwwwwwww!!! Do we haveta?? Pluto asked in a childish voice. Neptune folded her arms, nodding. Pluto pouted, getting off Saturn.

"Thank you!! Goddess! You need to go on a diet! You weigh a ton!" Saturn exclaimed, still laying on the ground. Pluto (-.-') slammed her Timestaff down into the ground, less then a centimeter from Sailor Saturn's face. Nobody noticed Syaoran and Sakura as they silently disappeared. That is, nobody but Pluto and Artemis, who see everything. Setsuna quietly followed, carefully watching Sakura.

"Syaoran, I've gotta get home. Touya's probably wondering where I am," Sakura whispered.

"Yeah, me too. I'll see ya later. Keep your eyes open." Syaoran said softly, disappearing among the Sakura trees.

"C'mon Sets. If you're gonna protect me you have to come with me." Sakura yelled over her shoulder. Pluto sighed, stepping out.

"I'm coming." Pluto said, de-transforming.
