To Be A Pegasus

Chapter Twenty - Before the battle
It was a beautiful day and many people were enjoying it, in a small
private hospital a man known as Maximillion Pegasus sat in silence. What had
happened since the duelist kingdom was amazing... but shocked him more was about
max.
His little Max who he loved and cherished... was a ancient spirit reborn,
and what more the creator of the millennium items. These things he had never
expected to happen, it was strange that in just a few months things could
change so much.
He did find the fact that Kage and max were dating amusing, he had hoped
his son would get romantically involved soon. Mind you it surprised on the
gender of his son's koi, but he loved Max... but did it have to be the spirit
that had taken his millennium item.
"Do you love Max?" he asked in a very serious voice, he knew that Max
was being called his past name Hikari now... but Max would always be Max to him.
"I love him with all my heart, like you I was going to use the
millennium items to bring him back... I never realized he had been
reincarnated/reborn," Kage said and Bakura nodded, Pegasus sighed and looked
out the window.
"Is he happy, with the sailor senshi coming back into his life?" he
asked with concern, in his mind he remembered Max as a child... it was so
strange to twist his mind around the fact that just hours before they had
found the injured Max he had been a teenage girl.
'But stranger things do happen' he thought, he looked at kage who looked
thoughtful.
"Kind of, it pains him when they were controlled by this evil... he was so
happy when he freed them. I know it hurt him when he killed the senshi of
Mercury, even in ancient Egypt he hated killing anything," Kage said softly,
Pegasus sighed.
"You should go now, I have a lot to think about and still need to rest,"
Pegasus told the two, the two nodded and slipped out of the hospital room.
"Max," he whispered, he looked at the tiled ceiling of the hospital room
and wondered if he would even recognize his son when he saw him next. Would
the person he knew be totally gone, or would max still exist some way inside
Hikari.
He truly hoped Max still existed, he had lost his wonderful wife so long
ago and he didn't want to lose his son also to some kind of fate.

In an unnamed park in Domino light shimmered, seconds later a sixteen
year old boy was standing there and the light vanished.
"I have to work on my aim," Hikari mused, but he was at least happy he
wasn't too far from his guardians home... after all it had been such along time
since he had went between realms.
Unlike when he went to the light realm he wore clean clothing, he now
wore a light blue tank top and jean shorts. Navy blue wrist bands adorned his
wrists, he wore blue socks and white sneakers with the symbols of light and
darkness on them.
'I should get home, my guardians are probably very worried about now' he
thought, he also thought of how he really needed to talk to Kage soon. But at
the moment he had other things to attend to, and anyway he could feel that
Kage and Bakura were far away at the moment... so that would have to wait.
Unknown to him though, there wouldn't be time to get home.
***
Tuxido Mask swore angrily, all four dark senshi had been defeated and
three of them had been converted back to the light... of all the bad luck.
"You," he yelled at a passing monster, the monster froze seeing who it
was.
"Yes my lord?" the monster asked bowing, the monster was shivering in
fear... for he knew how much this once human had.
"Gather the great monsters, were going hunting for the princess in
Domino city," he growled, the monsters eyes widened at those words and ran to
do the task set out before him.
"Soon Usagi you will be mine, then all will be as I see fit," he
whispered smirking, he then did the standard evil laughter while monsters
nearby pretended they didn't know him. (giggle, I couldn't resist writing
that... also it was very late at night when I wrote this)
***
'Almost home' Hikari thought with relief, as it was he hadn't been home
in awhile and had things to do. One confront the outer senshi, he cringed at
the thought how they might react... they could be scary.
Next he planned to visit his father in the hospital, if there was one
thing he cherished was family. Even if it was not by blood Maximillion Pegasus
was his father, the man had been a true father to this reincarnation of
himself.
He smiled as he thought of his next action, he planned to bring Mercury
back... as Usagi she had been the first scout to be found... a true friend before
the darkness had taken her.
If there was one thing he would do was bring her back, since he had full
access to both shadow and light realms it would be easy to create a new body
like her old one (when Amy was sixteen years old). Then it was just a matter
of the right spells to bring the soul back, the spells would also make her the
Amy she was suppose to be.
"Finally home," Hikari said seeing the house come into view, with a
smile he ran up to the house and reached for the door nob. It was then that he
got a chill as the door opened, he gave a small 'eep' when he saw crimson eyes
looking into his own... looked like Setsuna was back.
"Ah... hi Setsuna, how are you?" Hikari said nervously... how could he tell
her the truth after all she had sacrificed for guarding the gates of time,
Setsuna motioned for him to come in and he did.
'This ain't going to be pretty' Hikari thought, he took a deep breath
knowing that he had a lot of things to explain to all the outers and the other
inner senshi.
***
Bastet walked through Domino city, everything had been mostly quiet
since Hikari had left. The residents has easily gotten use to the cat goddess,
hey if they got use to shadow games and dual monsters they could get use to
anything.
'Mortals, very adaptable creatures' she thought with a smile, it was
then that she felt the faint aura of something. Her slim ears prickedin
interest, she recognized those auras... they belonged to creatures she had
created to live on the moon.
Very interested she ran in that direction quickly {Knocking several
people down as she did}, her eyes widened at a sight she soon came to.
"Luna, Artimus," she cried happily, a dark cat and it white counterpart
turned and starred at her in awe and happiness.
"Bast-sama," the two lunarian cats cried, they ran up to her and
launched into the cat goddesses arms purring madly. She smiled happily, she
had known that two of this type of creation were still alive... it over joyed
her to meet up with after all this time.
"Yes it is I little ones, and we have much to discuss... and much of it is
about Usagi-hime.. the girl you search for," Bastet said, the two cats smiled
and then frowned noticing there goddesses serious looks.
"Bast-sama what is wrong, has something terrible happened to Usagi-hime...
please don't tell us the evil has killed her!" Luna begged franticly, Bastet
sighed and knew that the news about Usagi/Hikari would stun the poor moon
cats.
"We have much to discuss," she told them, she then started walking back
to Yugi's house where she was staying.
***
Setsuna stared at the young boy standing in front of her, she wanted to
cry, to scream... all she had fought for was gone. Max had given up his Lunarian
heritage... for what, to become a creature that had more power in his pinky
finger then she had in her entire body times fifteen.
He looked at her with young yet so old and wise eyes. His blue eyes were
the same as before, yet she saw so much more in them. She wondered how she
could of missed so much of Max, when she had tracked Usagi's souls past she
had never found this part of it... something she couldn't understand.
Looking around she noticed that Rei was taking this rather well, of
course she had found out the truth of him before the rest of them. The other
inners were also taking it well considering all, yet there faces held grief as
they remembered the things they had done to Usagi while evil.
'Killed her family for one, it must be tearing them apart for what they
did' the guardian of time thought, finally Hotaru spoke... the only one who had
since they had found out what Max truly was.
"You don't hate us do you Hikari?" Hotaru asked, Setsuna flinched at the
name... it seemed that Hotaru was moving through this easily. She didn't find it
hard to like Hikari, after all if Hikari hadn't decided to wake up they would
still have their lunarian prince.
"No... I could never do that, I remember you as friends... I remember my
life as Usagi and can not fault you in the least," Hikari said in a calm
voice, it was then that the pale youth looked at his watch.
"The hospital visiting hours will be over soon, I have to go now or I
won't get to see dad today," he said, at this Setsuna blinked... he still
thought of his adopted father as his father.
"Let me drop you off Koneko," Haruka said, at this Hikari blinked.
"Your still calling me that, he asked, the blond grinned.
"Yup, even though your not exactly the same as you were as Usagi your
still Koneko to me," Haruka told her, Hikari rolled his blue eyes.
"Great, I still hate a cutie nickname," he groaned, Haruka laughed
lightly.
"Then on the way back, we'll get ice cream," Haruka said, at the word
ice cream the blonde's eyes brightened.
"What are we waiting for, lets go," he said in an ultra cheerful voice,
he then grabbed the outer senshis arm and dragged her out of the house.
"Something's... just never change," Minako said with a soft smile, Setsuna
sighed sadly.
'Something's never change, but so much else has' she thought sadly, with
sad eyes she walked to her room lost on what she was suppose to do now.

Next time: Tuxido Kamen appears with his monsters, the senshi, Hikari and the
others race to the scene ready for the final battle.
I know this chapter is short, but it's just telling how things happen before
the battle. I know everyone wanted to have descriptions between Hikari/senshi...
but every time I tried to write it... it well came out badly. So I just cut that
out, also I've had a bad headache so it was hard to write, so this is the best
I could do.
