"You CAN do it Odango!" Seiya repeated. Usagi stared at him for a moment. She was scared. She didn't know any of these people and now a cat was telling her she had to save the world.
"Odango?" she finally asked. "Why do you keep calling my Odango?"
"That's his nickname for you," Yaten said pointing to her hair. "He's in l-" but he was cut off when a blushing Seiya slapped his hands over Yaten's mouth to keep him from saying anything else.
"What did I tell you about saying anything REMOTELY close to that?" Seiya asked.
"Well it's true," Yaten said with a shrug. Seiya was about to say something when Taiki spoke up.
"Stop fighting you two," he said. "We have a bigger problem on our hands." They all agreed and decided they needed to help Usagi win this battle. Usagi wasn't sure what was going to happen but she knew big things were going to happen. She glanced at the sky; it was starting to turn light pink.
"I need to go!" she cried and dashed off.
"Where the hell is she going?" Yaten asked.
"She needs to return to the castle." Luna said. "If she isn't there when the queen calls her it could be her head. I've seen it happen before."
"So how are we going about finding the other senshi?" Taiki asked.
"I'm not sure. First things first though. I need to awaken Venus, Mercury, and Neptune before something happens to them," Luna said.
"What about us?" Yaten asked. "We don't exactly fit in anymore and there's no way I'm gonna dress in rags."
"We know, Yaten," Seiya said.
"Why don't you three just lay low around here until nightfall," Luna said. "I'll send Artemis to get you soon." With that she took off running.
Back at the palace Usagi was returning to her room. She knew she didn't have very much time before she was needed by the queen. She removed the buns from her hair. She was confused. All of a sudden three men and a talking cat came and told her she need to save Earth. She couldn't do it. She knew she couldn't. Why did everyone have so much confidence in her? She thought about this for a few moments when Queen Shi called her. "Kodoku!!"
"Coming Shi-sama!" she called and began to descend the stairs. She entered the breakfast room.
"Hello Kodoku," the queen said. "Fetch me my breakfast."
"Yes ma'am," Usagi said and bowed politely. After the queen's breakfast was in front of her and the queen began to eat she asked Usagi some questions.
"Did you have any more dreams?"
"No ma'am. I didn't get much sleep last night." The queen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Why?"
"I just couldn't sleep."
"I see. Did you see those shooting stars last night?"
"Yes ma'am."
"I believe they hit the Earth."
"They did." The queen's eyes shot up at Usagi.
"How do you know?" she asked. Usagi could tell she was tense.
"I was looking out my window."
"There aren't any windows in your room. You live in the attic."
"True, but there is a hole between the wall and my ceiling and I call it my window," Usagi replied calmly.
"I see. Arigato Usagi. You are dismissed."
"Arigato Shi-sama." Usagi said and returned to her room. At about noon Usagi heard a quiet mew from her "window". She went over to it and removed some of the hay she had plugged it up with. Luna squeezed through and hopped on her pitiful excuse for a bed. "Luna? What are you doing here?" Usagi asked in a hushed tone.
"Where are the others?" Luna asked.
"What others?"
"Ami, Minako and Michiru."
"They're rooms are up here in the attic too. Naze?"
"I need you to bring them down to the creek behind the palace tonight at about midnight."
"Naze?"
"I don't have time to explain! Just do it!" Luna demanded.
"Hai," Usagi replied. Luna jumped up to her "window" and left her room. That night she snuck out of her room and woke Minako, Ami, and Michiru. They somehow slipped by the guards and met Luna exactly where she said to. She led them through the silent town where everyone was sleeping. After that they left the town they wandered through the woods until they came across a cave. They could hear some mumbling from inside the cave.
"Artemis?" Luna called. A white male cat with a crescent moon on his forehead poked his head out from inside the cave. He was followed by Yaten, Seiya, and Taiki.
"Nani?" he asked.
"I brought them," she said and made a movement towards the four girls who were hidden shyly behind a large tree. Artemis walked up to Minako's feet.
"I suppose you don't remember me?" he asked. She shook her head.
"I'll be glad if she doesn't remember me," Yaten said. Minako stomped up to Yaten.
"I don't know WHO YOU ARE but you're an IDIOT!" she yelled.
"Nani yo?" he said.
"Break it up you two," Michiru said. Ami who was still hiding behind the tree crouched down by Luna.
"Little cat, who are those people?" she asked.
"They are Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten. I'm Luna and that is Artemis," she said. "You probably don't remember any of us." Ami glanced at Taiki. He smiled at her. She blushed a little and directed her attention back to Luna.
"Why did you bring us all the way out here?" Ami asked.
"Oh no!" Usagi cried. "It's almost morning! Shi-sama will kill me and there's no way to get back in time!"
"That's what we need to talk about," Artemis said. "That portion of your life is over." Luna nodded.
"You will stay here until we can find the rest of the senshi."
"What?"Michiru asked.
"You three, as well as Usagi, are three of the legendary Sailor Senshi," Luna said. "When we find the rest your memories will be restored. Until then you need to stay in the woods. Queen Shi's guards will be looking for you. The Starlights have agreed to help us protect you because if her guard find you they will kill you."
"But what about-" Usagi began but she was cut off.
"There are no buts Usagi! You need to accept your new life!" Luna said.
"Okay, I'll try," Usagi said.
Back at the castle, Queen Shi called for Usagi again. "KODOKU!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. "Guards, go find me Kodoku," she ordered.
"We just checked her bedroom," one said. "She's gone. So are Minako, Ami, and Michiru."
"DANMED CAT!" the angry queen screamed and kicked the table. She knew Luna was behind this.
