Chapter 7
After they had eaten, Naneshi suggested that she should show the Senshi thee house, like a tour.
Only Jadeite, Rubeus, and Emerald said that they had to go. It seemed that Emerald had a date and Jadeite and Rubeus just wanted to get some sleep.
So it was Sapphire, Diamond, and Naneshi showing the Senshi around.
"So," Michiru casually looked at all the art and finery in the halls, "how did you pay for all this?"
Sapphire and Diamond exchanged looks, "We don't know." Sapphire said hesitantly, "It was all here when we came."
Diamond nods, "Even our clothes were here like it was all planned out."
"And it was." Naneshi told them, "This place is mine. The workers here used to live on the streets or in sweathouses before I came along." She looks at them and shrugs, "All I did was give them a place to stay, food to eat, and work off their keep."
"That was very kind of you to do that." Hotaru said quietly. "You didn't really have to do it, but you did."
"But still, where does all this stuff come from?" Setsuna looks at a couple of the paintings, "I've never seen some of these things before."
Naneshi nods, "Because most of the paintings are not from here. They're from other planets. I bought them from places."
"Oh."
Naneshi opens a door that led outside towards the gardens. "These are flowers that I have gathered from everywhere." She told them, "They vary in size colors and ect." She paused at a fountain that had many symbols in it.
"What's this?" Usagi asked as she and the others stepped closer to examine it.
Besides the symbols that were engraved on the base, it was what was in the middle of the water that caught everyone's attention. There was a couple standing close to one another, kissing each other, holding them up were three girls and the fourth girl that looks remarkably like Naneshi, sat in front of them staring at the water with a sad expression on her face.
The couple, the girl looked nearly like Naneshi.only different.
"That is a fountain display that I had made. The two on the top are my sister, Daranara and her boyfriend, Welkin of Fantasia. They were engage and luckily for them, they were in love."
She rolled her eyes, "Though it does get tiring when every time you see them their either talking to one another or their playing tonsil hockey."
Minako and few of the others tried to suppress their giggles.
Usagi studied the girl as they all sat around the peaceful garden. "Is that why you were jealous?" She asked, startling both the girl and everyone else.
"Nani?!" Naneshi looks at Usagi like she had gone insane. "What are you talking about?"
"Yeah, Usa, tell us something that you have already figured out." Rei mutters.
Usagi paid no mind to the others as she continues to watch Naneshi. "The craving at the bottom suggest that you were lonely. Why?"
Naneshi couldn't believe that this slip of a girl had the audacity to talk to her about that. "It's none of your business, Serenity." She mutters, "What right do you have to analyze me or my actions?"
That didn't deter Usagi but her eyes widen when she figured out why Nanashi was mad.
"You were in love with Welkin?"
Naneshi shook her head, "Iie, I was not in love with that baka." She looks up and shook her head, "How can anyone fall in love and yet has no idea what love is or knows anything about that emotion?" She glances at Usagi's shocked expression, "You're right, I was jealous of my sister. But it was only because she had found love and I haven't."
"Don't worry about it." Minako told her breaking the silence, "Everyone falls in love one way or another."
Naneshi just looks at her, "But to never have felt loved? Not from anyone, Minako?"
"I know how you must feel," Diamond started the stopped, "Well.actually, I don't."
Naneshi smiled a little, "A millennia ago, I would have thought that it was a silly emotion that got in the way of my training." She looks at the fountain, "Harp of sorrow." She whispered,
"Sorrow has a harp of seven strings. And plays on it unceasing all the day;" She held up her hands so all could see.
"The first string sings of love that is long dead." She now held up six fingers.
"The second sings of lost hopes buried." She held up five fingers while her other hand lies in her lap.
"The third of happiness forgot and fled." She ticks them off one at a time.
"Of vigil kept in vain the fourth cord sings." She stares into space now as she held only three fingers up.
"And the fifth string of roses dropped away."
Usagi and some of them noticed that the rose bush petals were falling to the ground and were dying.
"The sixth string calls and is unanswered." Now there was only one finger. "The seventh with your name forever rings. I listen for it's singing all the day."
"So," Haruka looks up at the night sky, "nice poem, but what does that have to do with anything?"
Naneshi looks at her, "The harp of sorrow is real." She blinks and looks away, "It's like Mercury's Harp, only it's made up of sorrow and everything that is lost."
"How do we find it?" Hotaru asked.
Naneshi sighs, "But it's not the only treasure that needs to be recovered, there's another treasure."
"What is it?" Makoto leaned forward.
"It's the mirror of Truths." She answered, "Sort of like Neptune's mirror but different. It reveals your darkest secrets and your worst nightmares. It makes you face all your fears."
"Are there any more of these?" Rei asked.
Naneshi thought about it for a while, "Now that you mention it, there are. In all there are four of them."
"Where do they come from?" Setsuna asked, "I have not heard anything from Queen Serenity about these, nor have I ever seen them."
Naneshi shrugs, "They are from my world, Leah. They were the talismans for the Space Senshi."
"So how did they get here?" Ami muttered looking at her screen that glowed softly in the night, "I mean, when the Sailor Star Seeds were reborn, they were sent back to their world, at least, we think they were."
Naneshi nods, "It's my belief that not all the Star Seeds returned to their home planet."
"What do you mean, Neshi?" Diamond asks. "Do you think that there was some kind of mistake?"
She nodded again, "Hai." She looks at the fountain, " I think, that when the Star seeds were released again, that a few of them must have fallen here by accident, like I have."
She frowned, "But if this means what I think it means.."
"Then your friends would be the talismans that we're looking for and that would also mean that your princess and prince.." Usagi fell silent.
"Would also have taken the form of their talisman." Sapphire finished.
Naneshi fell silent for a bit, "We have to find them." She stated standing up, "Daranara isn't a fighter, I should know." She smirked briefly, "She faints at the sight of blood."
"Talk about delicate." Mamoru mutters.
"So, what's their talisman?" Ami asked tapping on the mini computer, "I need more info if I have to make this program."
"Ok," Nanashi said and started pacing, "Star or Dawn's talisman is a pentagram necklace."
"And?"
"A scythe for Mira or Justice." She went on, "The Mirror is Maya's or Nimbus." She froze, "Oh shit."
"What?" Usagi asked alarmed, "What is it?"
Naneshi sat down, "There is a fifth Senshi to our group, but she was very young and I think.yes, that's it. The harp belongs to Melfina, she's Sailor Nova."
"Ok, what about your princess and prince?" Ami asked moving on.
Naneshi looks at her, "Of course Daranara has a crystal. She would be inside of it."
"What kind of crystal?"
" The Amethyst crystal."
"And the prince?"
"Him.ummm.he has this special necklace. It's called Magma. It's what you would call an obsidian stone."
"What about you?" Mamoru asked catching the fact that she didn't include herself with the group. "If we knew what your talisman was, maybe if Ami could copy it on her computer and try to search the area using the waves from your talisman to find the others."
"Good thinking, Mamoru." Michiru announced.
It was then that Naneshi turned away, "I don't have a talisman. I was never given one."
Usagi blinked, "But why?"
Naneshi smiled, "It was because I was learning too much to suit them and on top of that, I was the rebel of the group because I did not approve of what they were doing. So they chose not to give me one just to spite me."
"Oh."
Naneshi looks at her watch, "It's getting late, maybe we should get some sleep."
"I would like to study this a little more. " Ami announced.
Nanshi nods, "Very well, Ami." She turns, " I will send Diamond to show you where the computer room is." She looks at Diamond, "If that's ok with you."
He nods, "Just fine."
