A.N.: Sorry about the format of the last chapter . .wasn't supposed to come up like that. Well I hope this is better
Thank you to wingnut and aqua rhapsody for reviewing . . .I wasn't sure if it would get read at all.
Kent and Raie walked down a small street where some low budget apartment complexes were built.
"I could go for some coffee, how about you?" Raie asked.
"Sure." The two turned onto a bigger street that lead to a small 24 hour cafe. It was nice and quiet and hardly any people around it. Everyone seemed as if they were in a daze, like the way Raie felt when she got up. Music played softly from the jukebox in the corner of the building.
"It's my favorite song!" She exclaimed as they stepped up to the counter. "I'll have a cafe latte."
"Same." The two sat down in a small booth next to the window.
"I don't remember the city of Tokyo looking like this." Raie stated. "It's too dreary and dark." Taking a sip from his coffee, "It's not the same, the power has shifted. Think of it this way, if the poles shifted it wouldn't be nearly as bad as this is." Kent said staring into his cup.
"What?" she said in disbelief.
"You sure don't remember much do you?" He joked, "We better just sit here and wait for
Sebastian."
"Oh where is he? I haven't seen him for..."
"A day?" He interrupted. "You might not recognize him though... he's transformed to conceal his true markings of the Silver Millennium. They can see stuff... Lots of stuff. We're just fortunate that they are lacking in the department of technological advancements; and record keeping."
"So, where is everyone?" She whispered.
"It's best that you not keep asking questions Raie, we don't know who is on what side. Until we know for sure... anyone can be our enemy, even the most unsuspecting person in this town."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sprinted down the dark street panting slightly. I had been running for about 6 miles now; and more then half way there. The rain beat down upon me. My senshi uniform, form fitting as it was, clung to every curve with precise suction and my long hair was heavy. I ducked into a covered area to rest for a moment and catch my breath. I had lost the guards around mile two, but still checked my surroundings just as a precaution. I placed my hands on my knees for balance, looking curiously at my hands and arms. They were glowing. I could feel a presence.
"Sailor... Sailor Sun? I..Is that you? Could it be?!" He took another step closer towards me. I looked up to the man who was standing before me. His presence and energy was familiar, and his voice and those eyes were so very familiar; but I couldn't quite place the face. I stood up straight and surveyed the man with gray, silverish spiky hair and emerald green eyes. Brushing a strand of hair behind my ear, I walked forward curiosity peaked in my eyes.
"You seem so familiar," I say in my usual soft sing-song voice," yet your face is not familiar to me." I gracefully walked right in front of him my sopping wet hair swaying slightly. My neck strained upwards, his 6 foot something height towering over my 5'6''. Frustration set in.
~You are the senshi of memories and you can't even remember the first person who knows you . . . I'm a little rusty I suppose~ I studied his face once more and then smiled shyly before finally giving in and asking,
"I feel rather embarrassed not knowing," I admitted," but who are you?"
He took another step closer to her. "I suppose my appearance seems very strange but the personality is giving you nostalgia." He paused, "I was once part of the early Silver Millennium. I never had a special part in it until the day I was assigned as a guardian. I am the embodiment of the tiger, Sebastian." He said with a bow. "I remembered the stories about you and what you looked like, from the color of your hair to the sunshine in your eyes. That's what gave it away I suppose." He said blushing. A chill ran up his back as he drew in his cape around his shoulders. "This really isn't the place to be, where are you heading to anyways?"
I blushed slightly, a smile crossed my face and I looked downwards at his complements.
"I'm very flattered that you've heard of me. Your name is Sebastian and you are a guardian," I replied changing the subject," I believe I've heard of you, but you must forgive me I was just revived after 4,000 years of exile. So I may be a bit rusty. As to where I am headed, I was in search of the other senshi." I paused for a minute unsure if I should tell him my mission.
"I assume that is why you are here as well?"
"Well," He said unsure of himself, "I'm here with my senshi, we were sort of... brought here. I, for one, am not sure what is happening; but it's not the same as I remember Earth." He was looking at his cloak playing with the edges with his fingers.
"As to the where-about of my friends, that in and of itself is a mystery to me right now." Looking at Sun's plastered wet hair; he was reminded of the situation. "Where are my manners?" He stated aloud, as he took off his cloak and placed it around her shoulders. He continued for her piece of mind, "Don't worry about me, I'm a tiger, what can I say? I love the water."
"Thank you," I looked down slightly and glanced to my side. I instinctively covered the crescent moon shaped object with a jewel in the center that was ebbed slightly in my skin just below my neck. I could feel it was picking up energy. Without looking up I whispered to Sebastian,
"Someone is behind me and coming this way," I looked up to him," hopefully they have good intentions. . . ."

Kent and Raie had just finished their coffee.
"Mmmm, you know what sounds good right about now?" Raie hinted at Kent.
"What would that be?" Bracing for the worse.
"A jumbo chocolate chip muffin." She answered starring into space. Taking this as a hint, Kent got up and ordered it from the counter.
"I can't believe how much you eat sometimes."
Looking at her watch, Raie jumped up and practically knocked the table over as she did.
"OH MY!!! We've got to get going!" She exclaimed, "We've got to find Sebastian!!" The two rushed out of the cafe, leaving the muffin behind.
Sebastian closed his eyes... he felt it too. Instead of panicking or looking behind, he figured he'd do what would keep them alive. He picked up the pace ever so slightly. He looked down at Sailor Sun. "Intentions or no, I've got a plan." he said confidently as they approached another street.
Finally breaking from their light jogging Raie stopped and figured where she was at. "This is nuts. We're not going to be able to find him like this!!" She threw up her hands in
disgust. "I don't even know what to look for!! We might as well just hop in to a helicopter and announce to the whole ci-" Kent placed his hand over her mouth.
"Alright, just calm down will you?!" The two kept walking. They stepped up the pace in hopes to find him faster. They approached the corner and started to turn...
*WHACK!* Raielynn ran smack into Sebastian.
A/N: so what did ya think . .good bad do tell!
Next episode: what other new senshi are there? . . .will Sebastian and Raie have concussions and be put out of commission? Stay tuned! *~sailorj
