Usagi sat down a thoughtful look on her face. "That's a very good question Duo... a question I'm not sure that I have an answer for. If Mamoru-san was my soul mate then... well I don't know... But maybe he wasn't... maybe mother was just telling me that... But why would she do that?" she looked to Makoto. "Mako-chan, why would mother lie to me about that? You think that Minako knew? She was the Senshi of Love after all... Maybe Mamoru-san wasn't my real soul mate, but then if not him who?"
"I don't know Usagi-hime, I don't know... I know he didn't treat you like anyone's soulmate, that's for sure." A frown mired her features. "But guess what?"
Usagi looked at her. "What?" Makoto grinned from ear to ear. "What!? Come on Mako-chan, what is it?" Usagi knew that look.
"Your worst fear... you don't have to anymore..." at the tilted head and blank eyes on Usagi she chose to explain in different words. "You're not being led by Fate and Destiny any longer! You're free to find your own love and chose your own path to follow. OR maybe he wasn't your soul mate at all and you still have a chance to find your real one. Maybe, if you want, we can even help them fight they're war... Y'all are in a war aren't you?" she questioned the guys in front of her, her eyes glittering at the prospect of fighting again, it made her soul feel alive.
"Yes, Onna we are, why?"
"See Usa-chan! We can stay and help them fight it! You've always wanted to bring peace to people; you knew there wasn't away outta fighting, but fighting youma? That's nothing, not compared to what we could really do to help here. Sure it'll be slightly more difficult, but hey! We Senshi never give up, ne? Come on what do you say Usagi?? Guys? Want some help?"
The guys looked back at one another, three nodded and said 'hai' one grunted saying they "Didn't need help from a bunch of weak onnas." The other silently nodded. It would take some time getting used to working with others. But whither they decided to acknowledge it or not, these 'new' mobile dolls were different, not as easy to destroy as the other ones were, they could use the help.
After Usagi's cheering and thanking them for letting them help out, and giving her a chance to really make a difference and bring peace to a place that really needed it, not like back home in Juuban, Tokyo, that wasn't peace they were needing just keeping the youma from attacking.
Duo decided to ask his question that got side tracked by Makoto's. "Tenshi... what about ruling the Universe?! How can someone rule the Universe if it's made up of a bunch of other planets, which you say, have their own people on them?? How's that possible??"
"Gomen ne Duo-san, for forgetting your question. That my friend, I'm not totally sure of either. It's been a long told legend in my kingdom of a Senshi of such great power, that she only shows up in the dire of situations." A pause, "She didn't show in the fight against Queen Beryl because my mother was able to defeat her, and maybe... the kingdom was meant to fall? I don't know, but it is said that when the stars cry out and the moon looses its light, she will appear to save all."
The others looked thoughtful at the explanation. Since all else was true, it was possible that what Usagi - Princess Serenity - said was true also. It was hard to take in the fact that there were living descendents of kingdoms three thousand years old sitting in they're living room.
She smiled at them all kindly before getting a bit hyper again clapping her hands together once. "Now! Let me introduce us the right way since Heero-kun was nice enough to introduce you all, with nick names." She grinned.
"Kino Makoto, *AKA* Quarval-sharess d'Thunder (3), Super Sailor Jupiter and Princess of Jupiter." She finished as Matako bowed to 'em.
"Young Reicheru, *AKA* Quarval-sharess d'Vhid (2), Sailor Sun and Princess Reicheru of the Sun Kingdom..." Usagi smiled kindly and lovingly at Reicheru, "My sister."
Reicheru's jaw dropped as her eyes flared wide at Usagi... only to look around trying not to look so surprised. She was now completely baffled. But she will not allow it to show on her face.
Usagi giggled softly, raising her dainty hand wiggling her fingers at Reicheru. "Umm, oi sis. Betcha didn't think when you talked to me a few days ago you'd find out that you're related to me huh? Bet your kinda wonderin' how? Any questions?"
"WHEN DID THIS ALL HAPPEN!?" that was her major question... or if she was nuts or something... this was all strange. What in the world was she driving out... Sailor Sun... her sister... that's nuts.
Usagi sweat-dropped laughing nervously with her hand behind her head. "Well umm, you see... While I was knocked out I had a visitor."
Heero raised an eyebrow.
"Iie, not y'all Heero-kun." she looked to Reicheru and Makoto, "My mother, Queen Serenity, came to me in one of my dreams. She told me that I had a sister," she pointing her finger at Reicheru, "That would be you." Giggles, "Yea, I was really shocked about it too. I didn't know I had one. I had the same reaction too, I was like "NANI? NANI?" she laughed and told me to calm down. I did and started looking around us; we were back home in the ruins of the Moon Palace...
"We sat on a fallen pillar and she said that during the Silver Millennium before I was ever born, she fell in love with the King of the Sun, they were married secretly and were working on an alliance between the two kingdoms... Why they got married first I didn't ask, but, she said that a few years later she became pregnant. Since no one was to know about it, hid in the Sun Kingdom with King Solaris, when she got further along in her pregnancy and she started to show it. After she had you they named you Reicheru Zess (4) and you lived with the King and were raised as his daughter.
"Bet your wondering how that passed all the questions, ne? Well mother sent one of her most trust worthy handmaidens to live with the King and act like she was his wife, or concubine... 'Cause you know back in those days it wasn't unusual for a King to have concubines..." she trailed off, 'Kami-sama this is weird to be talking about in front of everyone! I don't even really know them!' she sighed.
"Anyways... Mother said that's how it went for about two years 'til I was born!" she smiled brightly at that little note. "She visited King Solaris often when there wasn't any business to attend to at home. I didn't really remember you 'til my dreams... but I do now. We used to run around daddy's palace and terrorize the guards and 'cause all kinda troubles."
She giggled, "I remember one time we had Takeshi, Weddo and Timu all chasing us, we ran down a few corridors 'til we reached outside. You hid by the water fountain and I ran by you, after I passed the three guards ran by and you tripped them in a way they fell into the fountain. We got in trouble for that one, but Kami-sama it was fun!!" she paused "But by that time the people of the Sun Kingdom has just signed with the Silver Alliance and had found out afterward about Mother and King Solaris being married and both peoples rejoiced over it. Not long after, Beryl attacked us."
Reicheru placed a hand to her head. It was all still hazy and confusing. Slowly getting to her feet, her legs felt weak almost not supporting her weight. "I... I got to lay down..." without waiting for anyone's words she moved silently towards the way of her room. Things flying into her mind, trying to remember what Usagi had told her...
She didn't notice that she reached her room or that she was now laying in her room. Soon a void enveloped her body... showing her the images that Usagi just pointed out... it felt right... the giggles she did at her prank... the time there... and being with her father... it brought tears to her eyes as she allowed the memories of another time... another kingdom float in her mind's eyes.
~ * ~
Usagi watched her sister leave to lay down. She knew what it was like. It was like the first time she met Luna and was told she was Sailor Moon, and when she found out she was the Moon Princess... to many memories can overload the system and drain ones energy, boy did she ever know that. So, deciding she'd check up on her sister in a little bit she put a smile on her face and happily turned to the shocked others.
"And me! Tsukino Usagi, *AKA*, Quarval-sharess d'Suingmc Drathir (1) or my other name I got for when people really tick me off. Elghinyrrly Drathir (1a), Eternal Sailor Moon, and Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and Silver Millennium."
She looked around at all the shocked and slightly confused faces. "Umm... any questions?" 'I swear if someone asks me to re-explain this, I'm gonna... I'm gonna... put a spider in someone's shoes!'
"Usagi-chan... you never told me you had a sister..." Makoto looked hurt.
"Mako-chan... how could I? I've been out of it for what?" she trailed off looking at Heero questioningly.
"Three days." He answered her.
"Arigatou Heero-kun..." she turned back to Makoto, "Three days... in which time I had the dreams... I couldn't of told you... gomen nasai Mako-chan, but I wasn't keeping anything from you." Makoto smiled her 'I forgive you' smile and nodded.
"Any other questions? If not I'm gonna go check on my sis."
Quatre raised his hand making Usagi giggle. "Hai Quatre?"
"Umm, Miss Usagi-" he was cut off.
"Just Usagi or Usagi-chan, dozo Quatre." She smiled at him, she hated people being formal around her. She was like that in the Silver Millennium too, but her mother didn't like her being informal during Royal functions, so that was the only time she'd put up with it. This wasn't a Royal function, so she wasn't gonna deal with it.
"Okay Usagi-chan. Umm, how are you all planning on helping us? We all" he looked around, "...well most of us would appreciate the help, these new mobile dolls are strange, different. We can't destroy them as easily as the others. It's like... well I don't know really. What about you guys?" he looked towards the others for help, but they weren't offering.
"The fact is Onna, we don't really know. We do know that they're not the same. Maybe there's some of your magic or whatever mixed into them, though how, I don't know seeing as how they've been this way a while now." Wufei spoke up.
Usagi and Makoto's faces became serious as they looked to one another. "Usa-chan, maybe it's not a coincidence that we were brought here, if what Wufei-san says is true. Maybe we were meant to be here to help them, fight magic with magic you know?" Makoto asked her.
"Hai, hai, I see what your saying... But hmmm... Minna, please talk to Mako-chan about this, she's a better fighter and thinks of battle plans well enough. Right now I need to check on my sister. Having as many memories returned to her as I think she is, isn't peaceful stuff... sometimes it hurts like hell." She gave a short chuckle.
"Weak Onna."
"Wufei!" she yelled sharply getting everyone's attention. "I certainly hope that you change calling my friends and I weak, 'cause if you don't, ohhh, I'll let one of them beat you... In Senshi form." She smirked as he stared at her. "You saw what I did to the MD's when we first showed up, and that wasn't even my most powerful attack." Giggles smirking, "Anyhow, Minna, please speak to her about all this I need to check on Rei-chan." With a little wave she walked off upstairs after her sister.
After she left Heero asked Makoto to excuse him, he had something he needed to speak to them about, she nodded and they all left for Heero's room. Makoto shrugged and went to get something to it; after all they had been talking for about three hours and she was hungry.
~ * ~ Up Stairs ~ * ~
"Rei-chan... Rei-chan it's me can I come in onegai?" Usagi called through her sisters door, hoping she hadn't passed out like she did when the memories came back to her.
"Come in..." her voice was soft, filled with sorrow, confusion and loss. Loss of missing out so much in her life and not knowing. Confused on what had truly happened, and sorrow for not being near those loved ones. She was laying on her bed, with her hand on top of her brow, eyes focusing on the ceiling not even turning towards Usagi. "So... I'm your big sister..." bitter laugh "Always wanted one... didn't know till now."
Usagi entered closing the door softly behind her. "Hai, you're my big sister alright." She crossed the room and sat on the end of the bed facing Reicheru. "I know it's a lot to take in, all in one day... I mean, finding out that your newly found friend turns out to be Eternal Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity of the long gone Moon Kingdom and your little sis. But it's all true..." she looked at her lap, when she spoke again her voice held a bit of sadness. "I'm sorry if it upset you or anything... I didn't wanna do that, but I thought you needed to know..."
"I'm not mad... I don't rightfully know what I'm feeling. Shock mostly... but I'm grateful you told me." turning her gaze off the ceiling to face Usagi giving her a smile. Too much confusing things had happen to fully scope things to the fullest... her move away from the US... then being whisked to this place... and now this... it was almost to much to chew she reached a hand to pat Usagi's. "Don't worry... I'm tough... I can handle it."
Usagi looked up and smiled. "I know your tough, but still... I know it sucks not to have you memories... I cried a lot when I just got my memories, I think I would have cried when I found out about you demo," she looked sheepish "I was kinda sleeping and it's kinda hard to sleep and cry like that..." she looked down thinking then back up.
"Wufei-kun did tell me I was crying, or had tears sliding down my face... but oh well... What'd you remember Sis? Running around terrorizing the guards? Playing tricks on people and stuff like that??" she asked in a rush getting hyper again. It was good to have her sister back even if she didn't remember all of their past.
"Yes... I remember that... but what I remember most is our father... he was a kind man... but no one broke no arguments with him." sighing... how sad that this man was gone. Remembering the times he'd actually skip his duties to spend time with her. She came first unless his kingdom was in jeopardy. Then smiling at the memories of Usagi... their mother and their friends.
Usagi nodded. "Yea tell me about it!" chuckles, "O-tochan wasn't one to try arguing with. You'd lose hands down. Okasan on the other hand..." makes adorable puppy face, "This would work most of the time. Like when we wanted to go to Saturn, remember? We were just meeting all the Senshi and I wanted to go to Saturn? Okasan wouldn't let me and I gave her the face and she relented and let me go with Hotaru?"
She saddened a bit, "I miss the Outer Senshi... I don't the Inners, but I miss the Outers... they were always real nice to me and understanding, they knew the real me... not the one the Inners knew of..." cheering up some, "At least I've still got Mako-chan, ne?"
"Yeah... as long as you had that... but... but they don't know about me..." sighs... that was what truly bothered her. Lifting up to sit fully on her bed, "I truly miss our mother and our father... I always wished that I could be like mother so graceful and beautiful... but I received father's impatience and his thick headedness" laughs looking over at Usagi, "You on the other hand look like mother... didn't you know that?"
Usagi thought about it a moment. "You know your right, if I had silvery-lavender colored hair, and a silvery tint to my blue eyes, I'd be just like her huh?" she smiled goofily, "Though, I don't have her grace. I'm quite a klutz at times, and I've a short temper also. You should have heard me snap at Wufei after you left and me muttered his 'Weak onna' carp to me." laughs, "I snapped his name sharply it got *everyone's* attention!" she stopped and fixed a serious expression on her face. "We were talking about the mobile dolls how the were different and then I said I was gonna come check on you, said I knew how it was getting memories back, it was nice but sometimes hurt like hell and then Wufei said... 'Weak Onna.'
"Then I yelled "Wufei!" sharply getting everyone's attention. "I certainly hope that you change calling my friends and I weak, 'cause if you don't, ohhh, I'll let one of them beat you... In Senshi form. You saw what I did to the MD's when we first showed up, and that wasn't even my most powerful attack." I laughed smirking, he didn't say anything to that." She grinned ear to ear.
Reicheru was smiling at her newfound sister. Admiring the girl for what she did "Well now... I like to be the one to teach him a thing a two... I'll show him " Pushing herself off the bed to move towards her door only to look to Usagi. "Coming?"
She was in the mood to show a certain pig that she was not weak, she was stronger than he, well didn't he know that by earlier. Shrugging it made no difference. She was not going to put up with his onna crap or allow him to use it towards any other females. Seeing that Usagi followed her, the two had join the group finally regrouping to discuss the terms ahead. She held her head high... she didn't know much of battle tactics but she'd willingly learn.
Usagi pulled on Reicheru's hand. "Oi sis wait a sec... You can't fight without your henshi wand you know." She grinned at her.
Gives Usagi a strange look "A what?" Of course she didn't know anything. So the two women had to show her, her true powers within, perhaps Usagi more than the other one could.
Usagi smiled at her sis as she put her right arm up and laughed at Reicheru's shocked expression as half of it disappeared. "Remember sis, it's your subspace pocket, you've got one too... just gotta think about it to get into it... might be surprised to see what you find." She winked moving her arm around searching. "Alright now where is it... AH HA!! FOUND IT!!" She yelled giving a slight jump.
She stood and looked at the wand; it was shaped like all the other Crystal Power wands, but the handle wasn't a solid color it had red and yellow swirling together on it, the front part that bowed out from the bottom of the stick to the top was red, the crystal globe at the top was yellow and had a orangish-yellow glowing ball in the center with reddish-yellow flames jumping around it. She smiled as she threw it to her sister. "That's your Henshi Wand... you use it to change into Super Sailor Sun; just like I use my locket."
Catching the wand only to peer at it for the longest time. It was unique but beautiful. It felt right in her touch. It gave her a reassurance that she didn't know she needed. She frowned at the warmth it was sending up in her arm but quickly demised it cause of the power it may contain. "Thanks"
"Oi your welcome! Maybe tomorrow..." she moved her right wing around a little and cringed a bit, it still hurt, "We can spar or something... I think my flying days are numbered right now... maybe tomorrow my wing'll be better. Whatcha think? But for now... Lets go find the guys! I see you like Duo-kun don'tcha!? Come on you can tell your 'lil sis!" she nudged Reicheru in the ribs lightly smiling knowingly.
A high blush crept to her cheeks as she chuckled. Of course she wouldn't say anything right now till she figured if she liked him or not. "Um... let's go... and perhaps we'll spar tomorrow." Quick change of the subject or avoiding the subject as she could "Let's go find the guys... answer their questions and so forth." Rushing ahead so no more questions like that could be barged on her.
Usagi raised an eyebrow before laughing at her sisters antics. "Uh-huh... sure, what ever you say Sis... what ever you say..." she took her hand again and skipped down the stairs. They were on the second floor starting for the first when they caught sight of the guys. She nudged Reicheru again. "Oi, ain't that *your* Shinigami?" she said 'your' just to see her reaction as they walked the rest of the way down the stairs.
"Shut up!" Mumbling towards Usagi. Giving her a glare to shut her up and a nudge to the ribs to silence any further remarks. But smiling at Duo as he came to her side to assist her in sitting... Usagi giggled through her hands watching how Reicheru was behaving... she could read what was there all right. Usagi moved forward to seat herself... wincing at the small thud of pain in her wing... wishing that it'll heal soon how she hated to be sore and hurting.
She leaned over to Reicheru whispering. "Oi sis, next time not the ribs." she winced again, "Yours from what I hear were bruised and you've had two days awake to heal like Mako-chan, but mine were broken you know... that kinda hurt..." she looked over at her right wing's joint, 'that hurt too.' She thought then looked back to Reicheru. "Don't worry, I forgive you." She smiled brightly before looking around the table at all the serious faces. "Soooo.... what'd y'all talk about up stairs... that was a long talk."
Heero stared at her, before looking to Reicheru then Matako back to Usagi. "Your names are the same on the disks." Was all he said.

"I don't know Usagi-hime, I don't know... I know he didn't treat you like anyone's soulmate, that's for sure." A frown mired her features. "But guess what?"
Usagi looked at her. "What?" Makoto grinned from ear to ear. "What!? Come on Mako-chan, what is it?" Usagi knew that look.
"Your worst fear... you don't have to anymore..." at the tilted head and blank eyes on Usagi she chose to explain in different words. "You're not being led by Fate and Destiny any longer!

The guys looked back at one another, three nodded and said 'hai' one grunted saying they "Didn't need help from a bunch of weak onnas." The other silently nodded. It would take some time getting used to working with others. But whither they decided to acknowledge it or not, these 'new' mobile dolls were different, not as easy to destroy as the other ones were, they could use the help.
After Usagi's cheering and thanking them for letting them help out, and giving her a chance to really make a difference and bring peace to a place that really needed it, not like back home in Juuban, Tokyo, that wasn't peace they were needing just keeping the youma from attacking.

"Gomen ne Duo-san, for forgetting your question. That my friend, I'm not totally sure of either.

Reicheru's jaw dropped as her eyes flared wide at Usagi... only to look around trying not to look so surprised. She was now completely baffled. But she will not allow it to show on her face.
Usagi giggled softly, raising her dainty hand wiggling her fingers at Reicheru. "Umm, oi sis. Betcha didn't think when you talked to me a few days ago you'd find out that you're related to me huh? Bet your kinda wonderin' how? Any questions?"
"WHEN DID THIS ALL HAPPEN!?" that was her major question... or if she was nuts or something... this was all strange. What in the world was she driving out... Sailor Sun... her sister... that's nuts.
Usagi sweat-dropped laughing nervously with her hand behind her head. "Well umm, you see... While I was knocked out I had a visitor."
Heero raised an eyebrow.
"Iie, not y'all Heero-kun." she looked to Reicheru and Makoto, "My mother, Queen Serenity, came to me in one of my dreams. She told me that I had a sister," she pointing her finger at Reicheru, "That would be you." Giggles, "Yea, I was really shocked about it too. I didn't know I had one.

"Usagi-chan... you never told me you had a sister..." Makoto looked hurt.
"Mako-chan... how could I? I've been out of it for what?" she trailed off looking at Heero questioningly.
"Three days." He answered her.
"Arigatou Heero-kun..." she turned back to Makoto, "Three days... in which time I had the dreams... I couldn't of told you... gomen nasai Mako-chan, but I wasn't keeping anything from you." Makoto smiled her 'I forgive you' smile and nodded.
"Any other questions? If not I'm gonna go check on my sis."
Quatre raised his hand making Usagi giggle. "Hai Quatre?"
"Umm, Miss Usagi-" he was cut off.
"Just Usagi or Usagi-chan, dozo Quatre." She smiled at him, she hated people being formal around her. She was like that in the Silver Millennium too, but her mother didn't like her being informal during Royal functions, so that was the only time she'd put up with it.

"Okay Usagi-chan. Umm, how are you all planning on helping us? We all" he looked around, "...well most of us would appreciate the help, these new mobile dolls are strange, different. We can't destroy them as easily as the others. It's like... well I don't know really. What about you guys?" he looked towards the others for help, but they weren't offering.
"The fact is Onna, we don't really know. We do know that they're not the same. Maybe there's some of your magic or whatever mixed into them, though how, I don't know seeing as how they've been this way a while now." Wufei spoke up.
Usagi and Makoto's faces became serious as they looked to one another. "Usa-chan, maybe it's not a coincidence that we were brought here, if what Wufei-san says is true. Maybe we were meant to be here to help them, fight magic with magic you know?" Makoto asked her.
"Hai, hai, I see what your saying... But hmmm... Minna, please talk to Mako-chan about this, she's a better fighter and thinks of battle plans well enough. Right now I need to check on my sister. Having as many memories returned to her as I think she is, isn't peaceful stuff... sometimes it hurts like hell." She gave a short chuckle.
"Weak Onna."
"Wufei!" she yelled sharply getting everyone's attention. "I certainly hope that you change calling my friends and I weak, 'cause if you don't, ohhh, I'll let one of them beat you... In Senshi form." She smirked as he stared at her. "You saw what I did to the MD's when we first showed up, and that wasn't even my most powerful attack." Giggles smirking, "Anyhow, Minna, please speak to her about all this I need to check on Rei-chan." With a little wave she walked off upstairs after her sister.
After she left Heero asked Makoto to excuse him, he had something he needed to speak to them about, she nodded and they all left for Heero's room. Makoto shrugged and went to get something to it; after all they had been talking for about three hours and she was hungry.

"Rei-chan... Rei-chan it's me can I come in onegai?" Usagi called through her sisters door, hoping she hadn't passed out like she did when the memories came back to her.
"Come in..." her voice was soft, filled with sorrow, confusion and loss. Loss of missing out so much in her life and not knowing. Confused on what had truly happened, and sorrow for not being near those loved ones. She was laying on her bed, with her hand on top of her brow, eyes focusing on the ceiling not even turning towards Usagi. "So... I'm your big sister..." bitter laugh "Always wanted one... didn't know till now."
Usagi entered closing the door softly behind her. "Hai, you're my big sister alright." She crossed the room and sat on the end of the bed facing Reicheru. "I know it's a lot to take in, all in one day... I mean, finding out that your newly found friend turns out to be Eternal Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity of the long gone Moon Kingdom and your little sis. But it's all true..." she looked at her lap, when she spoke again her voice held a bit of sadness. "I'm sorry if it upset you or anything... I didn't wanna do that, but I thought you needed to know..."
"I'm not mad... I don't rightfully know what I'm feeling. Shock mostly... but I'm grateful you told me." turning her gaze off the ceiling to face Usagi giving her a smile. Too much confusing things had happen to fully scope things to the fullest... her move away from the US... then being whisked to this place... and now this... it was almost to much to chew she reached a hand to pat Usagi's. "Don't worry... I'm tough... I can handle it."
Usagi looked up and smiled. "I know your tough, but still... I know it sucks not to have you memories... I cried a lot when I just got my memories, I think I would have cried when I found out about you demo," she looked sheepish "I was kinda sleeping and it's kinda hard to sleep and cry like that..." she looked down thinking then back up.
"Wufei-kun did tell me I was crying, or had tears sliding down my face... but oh well... What'd you remember Sis? Running around terrorizing the guards? Playing tricks on people and stuff like that??" she asked in a rush getting hyper again. It was good to have her sister back even if she didn't remember all of their past.
"Yes... I remember that... but what I remember most is our father... he was a kind man... but no one broke no arguments with him." sighing... how sad that this man was gone. Remembering the times he'd actually skip his duties to spend time with her. She came first unless his kingdom was in jeopardy. Then smiling at the memories of Usagi... their mother and their friends.
Usagi nodded. "Yea tell me about it!" chuckles, "O-tochan wasn't one to try arguing with. You'd lose hands down. Okasan on the other hand..." makes adorable puppy face, "This would work most of the time. Like when we wanted to go to Saturn, remember? We were just meeting all the Senshi and I wanted to go to Saturn? Okasan wouldn't let me and I gave her the face and she relented and let me go with Hotaru?"
She saddened a bit, "I miss the Outer Senshi... I don't the Inners, but I miss the Outers... they were always real nice to me and understanding, they knew the real me... not the one the Inners knew of..." cheering up some, "At least I've still got Mako-chan, ne?"
"Yeah... as long as you had that... but... but they don't know about me..." sighs... that was what truly bothered her. Lifting up to sit fully on her bed, "I truly miss our mother and our father... I always wished that I could be like mother so graceful and beautiful... but I received father's impatience and his thick headedness" laughs looking over at Usagi, "You on the other hand look like mother... didn't you know that?"
Usagi thought about it a moment. "You know your right, if I had silvery-lavender colored hair, and a silvery tint to my blue eyes, I'd be just like her huh?" she smiled goofily, "Though, I don't have her grace. I'm quite a klutz at times, and I've a short temper also. You should have heard me snap at Wufei after you left and me muttered his 'Weak onna' carp to me." laughs, "I snapped his name sharply it got *everyone's* attention!" she stopped and fixed a serious expression on her face. "We were talking about the mobile dolls how the were different and then I said I was gonna come check on you, said I knew how it was getting memories back, it was nice but sometimes hurt like hell and then Wufei said... 'Weak Onna.'
"Then I yelled "Wufei!" sharply getting everyone's attention. "I certainly hope that you change calling my friends and I weak, 'cause if you don't, ohhh, I'll let one of them beat you... In Senshi form. You saw what I did to the MD's when we first showed up, and that wasn't even my most powerful attack." I laughed smirking, he didn't say anything to that." She grinned ear to ear.
Reicheru was smiling at her newfound sister. Admiring the girl for what she did "Well now... I like to be the one to teach him a thing a two... I'll show him " Pushing herself off the bed to move towards her door only to look to Usagi. "Coming?"
She was in the mood to show a certain pig that she was not weak, she was stronger than he, well didn't he know that by earlier. Shrugging it made no difference. She was not going to put up with his onna crap or allow him to use it towards any other females. Seeing that Usagi followed her, the two had join the group finally regrouping to discuss the terms ahead. She held her head high... she didn't know much of battle tactics but she'd willingly learn.
Usagi pulled on Reicheru's hand. "Oi sis wait a sec... You can't fight without your henshi wand you know." She grinned at her.
Gives Usagi a strange look "A what?" Of course she didn't know anything. So the two women had to show her, her true powers within, perhaps Usagi more than the other one could.
Usagi smiled at her sis as she put her right arm up and laughed at Reicheru's shocked expression as half of it disappeared. "Remember sis, it's your subspace pocket, you've got one too... just gotta think about it to get into it... might be surprised to see what you find." She winked moving her arm around searching. "Alright now where is it... AH HA!! FOUND IT!!" She yelled giving a slight jump.
She stood and looked at the wand; it was shaped like all the other Crystal Power wands, but the handle wasn't a solid color it had red and yellow swirling together on it, the front part that bowed out from the bottom of the stick to the top was red, the crystal globe at the top was yellow and had a orangish-yellow glowing ball in the center with reddish-yellow flames jumping around it. She smiled as she threw it to her sister. "That's your Henshi Wand... you use it to change into Super Sailor Sun; just like I use my locket."
Catching the wand only to peer at it for the longest time. It was unique but beautiful. It felt right in her touch. It gave her a reassurance that she didn't know she needed. She frowned at the warmth it was sending up in her arm but quickly demised it cause of the power it may contain. "Thanks"
"Oi your welcome! Maybe tomorrow..." she moved her right wing around a little and cringed a bit, it still hurt, "We can spar or something... I think my flying days are numbered right now... maybe tomorrow my wing'll be better. Whatcha think? But for now... Lets go find the guys! I see you like Duo-kun don'tcha!? Come on you can tell your 'lil sis!" she nudged Reicheru in the ribs lightly smiling knowingly.
A high blush crept to her cheeks as she chuckled. Of course she wouldn't say anything right now till she figured if she liked him or not. "Um... let's go... and perhaps we'll spar tomorrow." Quick change of the subject or avoiding the subject as she could "Let's go find the guys... answer their questions and so forth." Rushing ahead so no more questions like that could be barged on her.
Usagi raised an eyebrow before laughing at her sisters antics. "Uh-huh... sure, what ever you say Sis... what ever you say..." she took her hand again and skipped down the stairs. They were on the second floor starting for the first when they caught sight of the guys. She nudged Reicheru again. "Oi, ain't that *your* Shinigami?" she said 'your' just to see her reaction as they walked the rest of the way down the stairs.
"Shut up!" Mumbling towards Usagi. Giving her a glare to shut her up and a nudge to the ribs to silence any further remarks. But smiling at Duo as he came to her side to assist her in sitting... Usagi giggled through her hands watching how Reicheru was behaving... she could read what was there all right. Usagi moved forward to seat herself... wincing at the small thud of pain in her wing... wishing that it'll heal soon how she hated to be sore and hurting.
She leaned over to Reicheru whispering. "Oi sis, next time not the ribs." she winced again, "Yours from what I hear were bruised and you've had two days awake to heal like Mako-chan, but mine were broken you know... that kinda hurt..." she looked over at her right wing's joint, 'that hurt too.' She thought then looked back to Reicheru. "Don't worry, I forgive you." She smiled brightly before looking around the table at all the serious faces. "Soooo.... what'd y'all talk about up stairs... that was a long talk."
Heero stared at her, before looking to Reicheru then Matako back to Usagi. "Your names are the same on the disks." Was all he said.
