::slowly creeps onto stage:: Heh…hello all! I am so, so sorry that I didn't update for awhile but my modem is jacked up so I can't go on the internet (and I can't print crap). But I will keep updating further more until I get my computer fixed.
Sasho stood confidently at the front of Rei's temple doors. "Sasho, are you sure we should do this? You don't know what they'll do to you…" Mizu-umi began, now on cat form, on her shoulder.
She nodded, "Of course, I'm sure. We have to save Usagi-hime and to do that we have to get as much help as we can possibly get. The senshi must know the truth! If we simply tell them that we've got to help her just because, to them it'll just be because they have to because they're soldiers. If they know what's really going on, they'll put all their heart into it and truly want to protect Usagi-hime. I don't care how much I hate them, it isn't about me." She raised her hand and stiffly knocked on the wooden doors.
Rei opened the door and was surprised to find the princess in front of her. Guiltlessly, she had hoped it would of been Usagi, returning her manga or something. She missed Usagi greatly and she hated how she and the others had treated her when they found out that Sasho was the real tsuki no hime. She didn't really like Sasho and she could tell the feeling was mutual. She truly wondered what it was that the snobby little brat wanted now, so she asked.
"Sasho-sama, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be...anywhere but here." She said as sweetly as possible through gritted teeth.
Sasho looked at her with disgust but there was also urgency in her eyes. "Rei, there is something important I must speak with you and the others about. Don't question me, I'll let you know all that is needed."
Rei nodded and let her in. Sasho sat on the couch as Rei hurried to the phone and called the others, explaining that her highness needed them, immediately. In no time at all, everyone including the outer senshi and Mamoru were there.
"Sasho-hime-sama, what is wrong? What's all this about, are you in trouble?"
The girl whom they mistook as the princess wanted to laugh at how sincere her loyal subjects tried to be, knowing that they truly didn't give a damn about her.
"Nothing is wrong with me. I called this meeting...to let you know the truth."
They stared at her blankly, wonder in their eyes. "Go on." Haruka said, her legs and arms crossed boyishly.
"I am not the real princess, despite what I lead you to believe. Usagi is and always will be the true princess and future queen. I was used as a decoy to replace her highness until she arrived back from her journey."
"WHAT?" They all, even passive Michiru, shouted. Haruka stood and advanced on Sasho but Sasho met her challenge and stood up as well. She looked the sandy haired tomboy in the eye and stated calmly, "Please, sit down."
"I'll do no such thing, you imposter."
"Perhaps, if you allow me to explain, you'll be less hostile Haruka."
"I'm more than hostile, I'm pissed off and about ready to kill you."
"You barely allowed me to speak."
"I heard enough."
The two glared at each other and Mizu-umi found this as the time to thoroughly explain everything. "Girls, please sit down. You're blowing this out of proportion, Haruka, and as good a fighter as you are, your abilities cannot match Sasho, so I'd save the trip to the hospital if I were you."
Everyone turned to look at Mizu-umi, their looks shocked. "Y-you knew about this, Artemis?" Rei asked, disbelievingly.
He nodded, and walked toward Sasho. "My dear, if you'll allow me to take over..." She nodded in understanding. She sat back down and waited to see the others' look of awe. Mizu-umi slowly transformed himself from his cat form into his human for. Minako looked stupefied, and almost fell over.
"What the..." Ami began but couldn't allow herself to continue.
Mizu-umi shook his head at the way they were looking at him and he sat beside Sasho. "Let me explain everything, please. We haven't enough time to converse, for Usagi is in danger." He held up his hand as the room filled with even more shocked responses. "I shall start from the beginning, since if I start any where else, it will be incredibly confusing. Sasho plays a large part in Usagi-chans life, and therefore was chosen to be her replacement until further notice.
With no interruptions, I will begin to explain everything...
It all started when the young tsuki no hime was born, the musume of Queen Serenity. This child, as you all know, was the powerful, Serenity-hime, or as we know her as Tsukino, Usagi. When news of Queen Serenity's pregnancy reached Pluto, the king and queen of that planet decided to make arrangements for marriage with the pregnant queen, because Queen Libia of Pluto was pregant as well. It was said that she was going to have a boy, but nothing is set in stone. When all agreements were made for Serenity to marry the Plutonian Prince, three months later he was born. Unfortunately, he wasn't a boy at all. He was a she, the girl you all know as Sasho. This proved to be a very unfortunate thing for the royal Plutonian family, yet very beneficial for you all.
The royal family met with Queen Serenity to bring her the bad news five months later, and by then Sasho could already walk and talk since all Plutonians grow quickly. Usagi was barely one year of age and could just barely run though she could walk well enough, and her speech was good enough to make out what she was saying. On the visit, Sasho and Usagi met and became friends almost immediately. Both families saw this and decided that though they, of course, could not marry Sasho would be Usagi's sworn protector which held no problem since Sasho was a born tomboy. The two were inseparable and they had a bond that most friendships never have, it was a bond that even you all could never share with Usagi.
That explains the past, now to the present. Just recently, Usagi gained knowledge of a war between dimensions. Knowing she had to help, she packed her clothing and what not and set out on her journey. She didn't tell you all because she knew with no doubt that you would get in the way, not to be offensive in any way. So she called upon Sasho, whom (to make a long story short) had been going to Usagi's church for a while. The two, because of their bond, immediately recognized each other, etc. Anyway, the two formulated a plan to 'deceive' you all so that you wouldn't be in the way and you wouldn't get hurt, which was her main priority, not getting you killed.
Which brings us to exactly now. We've been keeping contact through a device that allows us access to different dimensions. Just a few days ago, I spoke to her and she was in good health. Was, being the operative word here. You see, yesterday we spoke again but the transmission was cut off. Then I heard a scream and a very unpleasant scene appeared before me. Needless to say, I knew Usagi was in danger. Which is why Sasho and I are here. We need your help and you need to say whether your in or your out because we haven't much time to lose."
Immediately, Haruka and Makoto jumped up and shouted, "We're in!" Michiru and Ami were next, and then Minako and Hotaru said it as well. They all looked at Rei whom looked back at them. "What?" she asked. " What do you people need, a brain surgeon? Of course I'm in!" She exclaimed as she stood up and stalked off into her own room to pack her things."
"Good idea, Rei-chan. In an hour lets all meet back here, bags and all. Got it?" Minako asked. Everyone nodded except for Rei, whom wasn't paying attention. "Well, Rei?" Minako asked.
"Yes I get it! I live here, it doesn't matter if I come in an hour or not. I'm not even leaving!" Hotaru stifled a giggle.
"Well then! Let's go!"

And they're off! So anyway, hope you liked it. Info about Mizu-umi will be explained in later chapters.
