Title: From Darkness Comes Light
Chapter 2
{Friday Night}
The sliver of a moon high in the sky watched as a young woman in gold and silver jumped from one roof to another followed by a silver color hawk with golden eyes. The young woman was carrying a golden staff with a white circle on top with a golden star in the middle and a pair of white wings coming from the base of the circle in her hands but it didn't hinder her jumping because as she jumped she appeared as if she was flying. She finally approached a large apartment build and jumped to one of the balconies near the top of the build. She opened the sliding door and the hawk soared into the room, which was the living room.
The young woman glared at the hawk, "You couldn't wait until I got in first, could you?" She then walked in after the hawk.
The hawk turned its gold eyes on her, there was no color expected the gold, it was eerie to look into those eyes, and she still wasn't used to it. "My wings were tired, I wanted to rest, is that too much to ask," the hawk said back with a snap. The hawk then started to glow a gold color; all you could see was the eyes and the star symbol on top of its forehead. When it died down, a silver colored cat with gold eyes stood were the hawk once was.
"Why is it, that you are the only guardian who can change its form? Why can't Luna or Artemis do that?" she asked with her hand on her hip while the other was holding her staff.
The cat jumped on the couch and laid down, "I don't know; I never knew why." The cat laid its head down and closed its eyes, basically saying that it was done talking.
The young woman sighed, and she held her staff in both hands in front of her with her eyes closed. She then started to glow yellow; the color of her glow pretty much matched the suns rays, but when the glowing stopped a girl wearing a white shirt and yellow shorts with long red hair and green eyes stood in her place. She was holding a small golden star with a chain coming from one of the tips in her hands. She stared at the star in her hands, sighed again and put the chain around her neck.
She then walked back out onto the balcony and looked out over the sleeping city before her, "Hiruko, do you think that if the enemy just stayed away, would my life still be normal or would you still have awakened me?"
The cat opened his eyes when he heard the question, he really was not looking at anything just staring at space mostly, and pondering on the question. "Eileen, the truth is... I don't know. I wish I did and I wish you could have lived your life a normal person," he then jumped on the head of the couch and sat down looking at her back, "but you shouldn't dwell on that, you are who you are now, you can't change that."
She turned back to the cat, "I know that Hiruko, I just wish I had a friend to talk too, like they did. I just wish..." she glanced to the side, "... I didn't have to keep myself a secret from them."
Hiruko looked at her with heart felt eyes, "I know...." He then jumped down and walked over to stand in front of her feet and stared up at her, "But what I am; chop lever, you aren't alone, I am with you." He then gave her a big toothy smile.
Seeing him with that big smile and those gold eyes, made her laugh. She then bent down and picked up the cat and held it close, "I know Hiruko, and thank you." She looked out at the city again, and just watched the lights.
Later that night Eileen finally went to bed, but she wasn't sleeping all that well, for she was having a dreadful dream.
Eileen was wondering in a forest that had a layer of mist on the forest floor. Then she saw another woman with gold hair with red highlights running through the forest, Eileen followed the woman. As she followed the woman through the forest, she realized that she knew this place some how, but was not sure why but then she finally came to a clearing, looked up at the sky, and saw only stars. She looked down at the horizon and her eyes went wide for before her was the earth; big, blue and beautiful. She then saw the mist cleared and before her were a beautiful white castle and the woman with gold hair running toward it. She arrived but the woman was gone and the castle was covered with bodies of dead castles guards and servants. As she walked, tears were coming down her face, she felt so sorry for these people, and she wondered why they died, how after a time all of this seemed familiar. She reached the gardens and when she looked pasted the door she saw the woman with gold hair crying over a body that is when she realized it was the princess, the princess's guardians and the prince of earth. The woman with gold hair stood up and turned toward Eileen, her face wet from tears, "Remember." She then disappeared. Eileen then ran to the princess, picked her up into her arms, and cried into the princess's chest. She then felt a hand lay on her shoulder and whirled around on a man she thought she never see again. He had a sad look on his face, but he wasn't crying for the loss of the Princess. She then noticed the Queen in the corner glaring at both of them.
"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave this moon and not come back," the Queen said with a deadly voice.
"But my Queen, I felt the light of the princess has gone out, but I had to be sure. What happened?" she pleaded with the Queen.
Queen Serenity walked forward holding the moon scepter in her left hand and the Silver Imperial Crystal was floating on top of it. Her eyes then turned to Eileen, "I was not talking to you child." Her eyes turned back to the man, "I was talking to him. You are no longer welcome, begone."
"I will not leave with out her," the man said back with should deadliness that it even shock Eileen.
"Fine, if you will not leave of your free will, I will banish you to darkness," the Queen said back with should hate in her voice that Eileen was again shocked and afraid for the man who stood between her and the Queen of the Moon. The Queen then held up her staff and the Crystal shinned bright.
The man started to cry out in pain as the crystal shinned its power on him, he fell to his knees, "I will come back Serenity and I will have my revenge and get my love back." He then started too disappeared right before Eileen's eyes. She screamed his name as she tried to reach for him, but he as gone. She fell to her knees and cried uncontrollable.
"It had to be done, and you know it; Eos," the Queen said with authority.
Eileen then looked up at the Queen, "What right do you have? Just because you are the Queen doesn't mean you can control people's hearts. Just look at your our daughter," she points down at Princess Serenity. She then stood up and held out her hands; the star floated from her neck into her hands and started to glow, she glowed like the sun and when it died she stood before the Queen in her silver and gold holding her golden staff with a white circle on top with a golden star in the middle and a pair of white wings coming from the base of the circle.
The Queens eyes turned deadly again, "I will not be disobeyed again and I will not have you turn on me." The Queen then held up her staff and the Crystal glowed silver light and Eileen held out her staff and the top started to glow, but it was no match for the Crystal and she started to cried out in pain, as the light washed over her body. Eileen fell to her knees and dropped her staff next to her as she reach up into the sky and whispered her lovers name, it was the last word from her mouth.
Eileen awoke in a sweat and was breathing hard. [Why did I have that dream, what was it trying to tell me? In addition, why did the Queen call me Eos, and who was that man? Was Eos me?] Eileen thought to herself. She got up and walked out to the baloney from her living room and watched the city once again. [It is like that woman wanted me to remember something or someone from my past. But Hiruko told me about my past and I have my memories of the past, why did I dream that?] Eileen sank to her knees and put her head in her hands. "She was so sad," Eileen whispered into her hands.
She rested her head back on the balcony, "Why did this happen? Why can't I just be normal?" She then stood up and saw that the sunrise was starting because she could see a hint of the suns ray over the mountains to the east. "I wondered if the others felt like this, when they became Solders," she asked the sunrise. She then sat in a chair she had out on the balcony and watched the sunrise.
Flash back
As Eileen walked the streets of the small town, she didn't know she was being followed, but she did have a feeling someone was watching her. By the time she reached the apartment building that was to be her new home it was dark. After she opened the door to her apartment she screamed for a silver dog that looked like a husky was sitting in her room. "Oh my God, how did you get into my home? Well, I bet your master is worried about you, so come on get out," she commanded the dog, but that's when she noticed the dog had gold eyes and a star mark on it's forehand.
She blinked once for she has never seen a bog with gold eyes and a mark like that one before, but she got over it fast and smiled at the dog, "Fine, you can stay for a while, besides you look like you could use a drink or maybe something to eat and I don't see a collar."
She closed the door, set her stuff down and walked into the small kitchen. As she was preparing a bowl for some water she heard a voice from behind her say, "Thank you, Eileen but I am not thirsty or hungry."
She turned around but only found the dog staring at her, the look on the bog's face looked so human it was eerie.
"If you are wondering it was I who said that and since I am the only one here, who else would decline something to drink," the bog said again.
Eileen dropped the bowl she was holding and it fell to the floor and broke, "You... just... talked..." She voice barley said the words, for she was in a state of shock, she was glad that there was a counter behind her, for she would have fallen.
The husky giggled and walked over to her, she tried to back away but she didn't go anywhere for she was right against the counter, "Oh Eileen, do not be afraid, I am our friend. I am here to awakening you, for your power is greatly needed." The husky sat at the entrance to the kitchen watching her.
She took a deep breath, "Power? What power, I don't have any power... and how can you talk?" she said with a shaky voice.
The husky laughed again, "Oh Eileen, you have a great power, a beautiful power, and please don't concern yourself in how I can talk, you will understand soon."
"How come you know my name and I don't even know yours?"
"Oh, I am sorry, where are my manners. My name is Hiruko and I am your guardian," the husky bowed its hand at her.
"My guardian, I don't understand."
Hiruko stood up, "You will." Then the star symbol on his hand started to glow, he then closed his eyes.
Eileen then felt an overwhelming power explode in her, and memories of a past life came back to her. Feelings of loneliness and sadness over came her, and imagines of a beautiful princess and a handsome prince came into her mind and four young women of power dead defending their princess and a sad ending. She then sank to the floor closing her eyes, when the feeling faded; a star symbol shinned on her forehead.
Hiruko sat in front of her, "You are Sailor Sol, guarded by your mother star Sol, the Scout of Light."
"Sailor Sol..." she whispered. She opened her eyes and the symbol faded away.
"Your duty is to protect the light of the scouts, most important the light of the Princess and Prince. I am your guardian Hiruko."
"Hiruko; does this mean a new enemy has come to the system and is too strong for the other scouts?" she asked with a distanced voice.
Hiruko nodded, "You must power the scouts up when it is the right time."
"I understand," she then stood up and looked out the window to the baloney. "I feel that I am needed now, we better hurry before it is too late."
"Then you will need this," Hiruko then placed a golden star with a chain coming from the tip of one of the points on the floor before Eileen. She bent down and picked it up. Hiruko then turned into a silver colored hawk and went to sit on her shoulder.
End of Flashback
As she watched the sun rise over the horizon she didn't even notice Hiruko walk up, "Eileen..." he yawned before he could finish what he was going to say, "...what are you doing up?" he finally finished. The cat then jumped into her lap.
Even if they haven't known each other long, they know they are alone in this world and had an understanding between them. So they became more then just partners they become friends in the short time they knew each other. "Oh, I had a bad dream and needed some air, then the sun started to come up so I choice to watch it," Eileen answered back.
"A bad dream?" Hiruko asked.
Eileen just nodded to him.
Hiruko realized that she was not in the mood to talk about the dream so he didn't press it. "Well, after it's done, you better get ready, you have a lot to do tomorrow," he said while purring as Eileen rubbed his hand.
"I know," she said in a quiet voice. She watched as the sun finally showed it self over the horizon and the light slowly moved over the sleeping city, waking it up. She smiled at the sun, "Hello and good morning to you."
{Saturday Morning}
As the morning went on Eileen got ready for the day. She took a shower then dressed in blue jeans shorts and a gray tank top and a dark yellow vest. She made herself breakfast and fed Hiruko. They left the apartment around mid-morning; Hiruko had turned himself into a husky and walked next to Eileen. It was a warm summer day, the sky was clear and no clouds could be seen. Eileen was enjoying it as much as she could while she was looking at a map, trying to find her new college and not get lost at the same time.
While looking at the map she couldn't see the people who were walking the other way or crossing her and Hiruko weren't watching either, he was sniffing all the different smell that was coming to his dog nose. So, neither of them noticed a running blonde coming toward them but the blonde wasn't watching too. Soon they all hit, Eileen and the blonde both went to their butts. "Hey, watch where you are going?" they both said at the same time.
Eileen looked up at the familiar voice, and blushed. For in front of her was her princess, but normally known as Serena. "Serena, god I am sorry. I didn't see you, I wasn't paying attention," Eileen said in a sincere voice.
Serena smiled at Eileen, "It's alright, I do that all the time, but it seems to only happen with people I know." She started laugh at her own joke, Eileen looked at her with an odd face when she didn't get the joke, then started to giggle too when she finally understood.
Eileen helped Serena up when she stopped laughing, but as Eileen started to pick up her things, she heard a high screeching noise and with it, "Aww, how cute?" Eileen looked up and found Serena petting Hiruko behind the ears. Eileen started to laugh when she noticed the look on his face.
Serena stopped petting Hiruko and looked over at Eileen, "What's so funny?"
Eileen calmed her laughing, "Oh nothing, but I see you met Hiruko." Eileen goes back to picking up her papers, when she finished she stood next to Serena with Hiruko in front of them.
"Hiruko; is that your name? I love it, and I love that star bald spot on his forehead," Serena cooed again at Hiruko. However, she didn't notice the annoyed look that across his face when she said bald spot. She looked up at Eileen while rubbing his head, "I didn't see the dog when you got off the plane?"
Eileen giggled again, "Of course you didn't, dogs don't travel with the people, and I picked him up after I left you with Darien. So Serena where are you going in should hurry?" she said through the giggling.
Hiruko had a pleased look on his face in how Eileen calmly explained her having a dog now.
"Oh, just going to meet Darien and the gang for lunch," Serena then noticed the maps in Eileen's arms, "Are you touring or something? What's up with all the maps?" She then stopped petting Hiruko's head.
Eileen looked down at the maps in her arms, hugged them to herself and started to blush, "I guess I do look like a tourist, but I don't know the city, and I am trying to find K.O. University so I know how long it takes to get there and then resister for my classes."
Serena smiled that warm smile of hers and grabbed Eileen's arm, "Well, I will show you where the University is."
"But Serena, you will be late, and besides, why do you want to help me, we don't know each other all the well," Eileen said in a calm voice.
Serena started walking down the street the way Eileen was going before they met head on, she was taking Eileen with her, but she didn't have much of a choice anyway with Serena holding onto her arm. "It's alright if I am late, I am always late, but I want to help you because I think we should be good friends, I know we didn't start good so I wouldn't mind making that up," Serena said while looking forward.
Eileen smiled to herself, "Alright, if you want too." She smiled down at Hiruko but he had a semi-mad look on his doggie face which confused her for she didn't understand why he would give her that kind of look. She looked back up at the street. She was happy to have the chance to get to know her new princess.
After a while and back tracking, Serena finally got them too the University. "Finally we got here, I am sorry for so much back tracking Eileen, I guess I got lost a few times," Serena said with a sad voice. She looked up at the school and realized it was closed, "I guess it closed early on Sunday." Serena then hung her head.
Eileen smiled at the young woman and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Serena, it's alright. At least I know where the school is to my new home and that's what I was planning on doing today," she said in a kind and warming smile.
Serena smiled up at Eileen, while Eileen was touching her she could feel a warmth wash over her, the feeling calmed her and more relaxed, and a feeling of pure light washed into her heart. Serena never felt anything like this, she was very calm, and realized that Eileen didn't notice any difference. [I think I will try and get close to this woman, she seems so familiar but I don't know from where,] Serena thought to herself. "Yeah, I guess you are right, well since you have nothing else to do today, why don't you come with me for lunch. I am sure my friends won't mind, besides I won't be surprised that they started without me," Serena said in her normal cheer tone.
Eileen removed her hand and placed it around her maps at her chest, "I would love to come with you to lunch, and I just hope your friends won't mind." Serena just waved off her concern.
Serena then led them to Crown Fruit Parlor where her friends and Darien were waiting.
{Saturday Evening}
The sun was finishing its journey across the sky, with its last light shinning on the world, it made everything orange. If you looked out at the ocean, you could see two beautiful sunsets, one above the other. Couples were sitting at benches taking in the most wonderful sunset that has been seen in a long while. However, there were two who were not aware of the sunset happening or the color around them.
"I don't know Raye, I just don't see anything. I mean, shouldn't there be a burn mark or something?" Lita asked while studying the ground where the Kurai Kage stood before being engulfed by the light. She stood with her arms crossed in front of her, and a puzzled look over her face. She and Raye have been there for a short while, looking over the area trying to find some kind of clue, but she knew that's not the real reason they were in the park. They wanted to make sure no more innocent people were attacked by this new enemy.
"I know Lita, I can't find anything in these bushes," Raye said as she climbed out from behind some bushes.
Lita looked up to find Raye pulling tiny leaves from her black raven hair, and noticed the displeased look on her face. A smile crossed Lita's face and a light laugh came from her throat while she shook her head at her friend. She heard Raye say, "Don't laugh, do you know how hard it is to get these damn leaves out of this length of hair?" Lita only continued to laugh, for she said she would go into the bush, but Raye went in ahead of her saying; she will do it.
"Well, I guess we just wait now," Lita said as she walked to the closet bench. That's when she noticed the sunset and the color around them, for she was so busy looking for clues and listening for danger, she didn't notice it before. She was glad she didn't miss it for it was the most beautiful sunset she has seen in a while. Raye followed without saying anything, for she was still trying to find leaves and haven't noticed the sunset, so Lita didn't say anything to her about it.
When Raye finally looked up from her hair, the color from the sunset was gone, and a faint purple glow was left. "You know, while you were busy with your hair, you missed the most beautiful sunset," Lita said in a tease. She couldn't help say it, for she knew it would bug Raye, and she was getting bored with the silence.
Raye just sighed, "Well, I am sure there will be a sunset tomorrow, so I didn't really miss anything," she said calmly.
Lita was saddened with her response and she didn't understand why. She looked back at the fading sunset, and then noticed a woman in jean shorts with dark yellow vest and a silver color looking husky standing next to her while she watched the sunset. Then it dawned on her that it was Eileen and her dog Hiruko. Lita poked Raye with her elbow, "Hey Raye look, isn't that Eileen," she said while pointing.
Raye looked were Lita was pointed and nodded, "Yeah it is."
"Let's go talk with her," Lita then stood up and waited for Raye to join her.
Raye gave a confused look up at Lita, "Why? I thought we didn't trust her."
Lita then realized she was looking forward to talking with this strange woman whom seems familiar to her somehow. "Well, I guess we can try and learn something about her, and find out what makes us not trust her so much?" Ever since last night and lunch early that day, Lita has not felt uneasy around Eileen like she did when she first meet her.
Raye sat in her spot thinking then stood up, "Yeah, I guess you're right, we should learn more about her." Raye straighten the dark red dress with a black long sleeve shirt under it.
Lita and Raye walked up to Eileen but before they got very close, Hiruko turned and stared at them while they walked closer to Eileen. Hiruko's eyes to anyone but Eileen looked like the eyes of the animal he took the shape of, but they still kept their non-human feel to them, which most did not noticed. Lita noticed it when he turned when they started to get close to them and they didn't make that much nose. She realized she seen eyes like this before, but at that moment she couldn't place it.
Raye was the first to speak since Lita was busy with her thoughts, "Hey Eileen, is that you?" Raye called when she knew Eileen could hear her.
Eileen turned from the fading sunset with a sad look on her face, Eileen wiped a hand over her cheek but before she could get it Lita notice a line where tears once traveled.
[She was crying? I wondered why?] Lita thought to herself, now puzzled by what could make this woman cry.
"Oh Hello; Lita, Raye. I didn't notice that you were in the park," Eileen answered back. Lita and Raye stopped three feet away from her; Eileen turned her back to the ocean and leaned on the rail, so she would hear them better. Hiruko sat next to Eileen on her left watching both girls. "So, did you two need something?" Eileen asked with a plan voice.
Raye found her hard to read and it was bugging her because she has never met a person she couldn't read before. Raye put a simple smile on her face and said, "Oh, we figured since Serena likes you, we might get to know you better," Raye said in a polite tone.
Lita felt like falling over, [Where did she get that idea all of a sudden?] Lita thought to herself. Lita cleared her throat and said, "Besides, we saw you by yourself over here and figured to keep you company." Lita saw a glare from Raye out the corner of her eye. Lita figured Raye did not like Lita's reason.
Eileen just smiled to the girl's reasons, "Well, Serena is a caring and easily trusting girl from what I noticed, and it's understandable that you would like to find out about this new person who is around her. And thank you Lita, I don't mind the company."
Raye was taken back, [She knows we want to protect Serena, but how? Who is this woman and why can't I feel that power from her anymore?] Raye thought to herself. Raye gathered herself quietly and responded, "Well Eileen, you are right. Serena is a rare person, and we try to keep her safe and don't take kindly when someone tries to hurt her. You wouldn't want to hurt her, would you?"
Lita was dumbstruck, "Would you excuse us please?" she said to Eileen.
Eileen nodded her head in reasons. Lita grabbed Raye's forearm and pulled her away, "Raye, what are you doing?" she said in Rayes ear as she pulled her away.
When they stopped Raye placed her hand over Lita's, "Lita that hurts."
Lita released her hold on Rayes arm and watched as Raye rubbed where she grabbed her. She folded her arms in front of her chest waiting for Raye to answer her question. "Well," Lita asked growing inpatient.
"Well, what?" Raye asked while staring at Lita with stern eyes and still rubbing her arm where Lita grabbed her.
"Why did you say that to Eileen?" Lita asked with a quiet voice making sure Eileen couldn't hear her, but her tone was very serious.
Raye folded her hands behind her and answered, "Because I am trying to find out why she said that about Serena."
"What? That she understands that we don't trust her and wish to know more about her?" Lita said back in an upset voice but still trying to keep it quiet, which was getting hard since her temper was rising.
"Don't you find that weird? And why are you so upset, I thought we were going to find out more about her?" Raye said in a curious tone.
Lita then realized that she was upset, but she couldn't figure out why now that she started to think about. She only knows that when Raye asked Eileen if she would hurt Serena she got upset. She thought she was upset because Raye basically told Eileen that Serena is important to us greatly. "I don't know, I just felt upset for some reason when you asked her if she would hurt Serena," Lita said in a confused voice.
Then out of the trees came a high scream. The sound from what Lita and Raye could tell came from the center of the park and they both feared why this person screamed. They both knew Eileen heard it because before they knew it she was right beside them.
"What was that?" Eileen asked in a worried voice.
Lita looked at Raye and Raye looked back. Raye then turned to Eileen, "Eileen, could you find a payphone and call for help, me and Lita will check it out."
"But I don't know what to call for help about it? Far as we know it could be some girl frightened by a rat or bat," Eileen asked with much worry and anxiety.
"Well, either the police or ambulance would help. I don't see any smoke so we know it's not a fire," Raye said back.
Then another scream went up into the early night's air, but this time it was much deeper as if it came from a man. "Well, that proves it wasn't a rat or bat because that sounded like a man's scream," Lita said while still staring in the direction of the sound.
"But what could you two do?" Eileen asked.
"Well, we have some first-aid experience and we can help until either the police or ambulance arrive," Raye said while watching the trees.
"One more thing, what if it's a robber or something," Eileen asked with worry from just thinking of that.
Lita then looked at Eileen with a big smile, "Don't worry, I can kick his butt." Then she gave her thumbs up.
Eileen smiled to that, "Alright, I will go get help." Then she ran off in the opposite direction with Hiruko right beside her.
"Real smooth Raye, real smooth," Lita said as she watched Eileen fade from site.
"Thank you," Raye said back with her chin up.
Lita just laugh, "Lets go check it out, but I have a feeling you are thinking the same thing I am thinking."
"That's it's the new enemy," Raye answered. Lita just nodded her head in agreement.
Then both girls ran off toward the screams, both hopping it was nothing, but knowing it was a false hope.
As they both ran through the park toward the screams, they took out their crystal transformation sticks getting ready for the fight. As they got closer they saw the Kurai Kage and its master: An'ya standing over two people. Lita and Raye stopped behind a tree and watched as the kurai kage reached inside the girl's chest. At that moment Raye was on the communicator watch contacting the others about the attack.
As Lita watched as the kurai slowly took its claw out of the girl's chest in its claw was a shining light in a sphere shape. Unlike the star seeds the light did not go out. The Kurai handed the light to An'ya, to Lita it looked as if she was looking it over and then the sphere disappeared and so did the woman's body. Then the Kurai started to walk over the man, that's when Lita elbowed Raye.
"Hey Raye, they already got one person, but it looks like that thing is heading toward the guy now, can we please stop it now," Lita asked in a quiet voice.
Raye then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, they are on their way."
They both held out their crystal transformation sticks and called, "MARS CRYSTAL POWER. JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER," and together they said, "MAKE- UP." Raye was circled by fire and Lita was circled by lighting, when their transformation was finished they were standing behind the tree in their super sailor outfits.
As the kurai reached its claw out for the man's chest, its hand was hit by a flaming red arrow then it was hit in the chest by tiny lighting leaves. Both the kurai and An'ya looked in the direction of the attack and saw Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter standing back to back.
"I will not let you harm anymore people, in the name of Jupiter I will stop you," Sailor Jupiter said.
"And I will not let you put out the fire of passion, in the name of Mars I will burn you," Sailor Mars said.
An'ya just smiled, "So, you have come back to try and fight and stop me have you. I guess you didn't learn your lesson last time. Kurai Kage, attack them!!!" she yelled.
The kurai dropped the guy he had by the neck and started to walk toward Jupiter and Mars with his claws drawn. He jumped toward Jupiter first, when he was right above her head, it was hit by a flaming arrow.
Jupiter turned around and smiled at Mars. She went into a dead run toward An'ya, An'ya on the other hand did not move, she just held her hand out toward Jupiter and yelled, "BLACK LIGHTING" and some black lighting bolts shot out of her fingers. It hit Jupiter so hard she went slamming into a near by tree.
An'ya just laughed, then looked toward her kurai and saw that Mars was clawed at the right arm; she was more surprised to still see her standing. She realized that the kurai was aiming for Mars chest but it missed. Suddenly she heard something that sounded like water rushing. She realized that the other scouts showed up and dodged just in time for a stream of water to shot past her. She looked toward the attack and saw the other scouts and the man in black running into the area and to their comrades.
When Jupiter opened her eyes she saw Sailor Moon and Mercury standing over her with concern over their faces, then relief when she smiled at them, "I am fine, going to be sore tomorrow, but fine," she told them. She looked passed them and saw Venus was blocking the enemy's lighting attack with her attack. She then saw Mars was still fighting the kurai, but she noticed that she had a wound on her right arm, and it was three claw marks. With worry and angry over her face, she stood up and readied her attack; her antenna came out and she yelled, "SUPER SUPREME THUNDER." Then a much stronger version of supreme thunder shot out from her little antenna right at kurai. The attack hit it straight on again, but it seemed to only be stunned, but it was enough for Mars to get away and get threaded by Mercury.
Sailor Moon now stood in front of her hurt friends the same way they did for her the night before, [What do I do? My attack does nothing to this new enemy. What we need is more help, but they are too far to help us.] Then as if her thoughts were heard, a ball of yellow energy flew and hit the kurai in the side. The kurai was pushed back into the bushes.
Everyone turned to see who did the attack, all the sailor scouts had a smile on their faces, and An'ya had an angry look wondering who else is getting involved. Two women standing back to back on top of a tree branch were who they saw. "Who the devil are you?" An'ya said in a dangerous tone.
"Guarded by Uranus, the planet of the skies, I am the soldier of flight, Sailor Uranus!" said the one with short blonde hair.
"Guarded by Neptune, the planet of the deep sea, I am the soldier of the affinity, Sailor Neptune!" said the other with aqua-green hair.
"Uranus... Neptune," all the scouts said together.
"We felt a new enemy on the planet and figured to check it out. It seems we came at the right time," said Uranus jumping down from the branch and joining the others. Uranus and Neptune took their places on either side of Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury was tending to a wounded Mars, Venus with Jupiter took a defense stand in front of them behind Sailor Moon, Uranus and Neptune.
No one noticed a man standing off in the distance with two cats lying on his shoulders. "I hope those two help," said Tuxedo Mask. The two cats nodded their hands in agreement.
"Great more anonymousness, Kurai Kage; attack them," An'ya yelled while flying at the new arrivals.
Sailor Moon, Uranus, and Neptune dodged An'ya's black lighting attack. She was forcing on them only because the kurai was attacking Venus and Jupiter.
"WORLD SHAKING," Uranus throw her ball of energy at the around and it with straight for An'ya but she dodged the attack and Uranus cursed under her breath.
"DEEP SUBMERGE," Neptune gathers a ball of water energy in her hands then aims it at An'ya but this time she block's it with her black lighting. "Why can't our attacks do anything?"
"Mine doesn't do any good either; this enemy is just too strong for us," Sailor Moon finally told them while dodging a stream of black lighting. Both Uranus and Neptune give her a look of utter surprise. Now knowing this piece of info all the scouts were just fighting for their lives.
Soon all six scouts were pushed into a group. Tuxedo Mask joined the group a little after Neptune and Uranus did, but he was guarding the injure scouts; Mars and Jupiter. Soon there was a semi-circle around Mars and Jupiter with Mercury doing her best to help them. For a second time, they felt the stab of fear.
"Well, I can't believe that you thought you could stand up to me?" mocked An'ya. "I think my master will be very proud of me for being him, so many Intralux's." She waved her hand and the kurai jumped at Venus, Uranus and Tuxedo Mask. While she let more of her lighting attacks at Sailor Moon and Neptune.
Tuxedo push's the kurai off but before Uranus could get her attack off she heard a faint voice say, "Sol Sun Ray!" Then a column of golden light shined straight on the Kurai Kage. The creature cried out in pain with a horrible high sound. She wasn't sure what it sounded like. Everyone in the area had to cover their eyes from the light, and after it died down, the kurai was gone. Just a small pill of dust was where the kurai once stood. Then it was caught in the air and disappeared again.
An'ya screamed at the top of her lungs, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO, who did that?" She started at dead run for Sailor Moon. Everyone jumped in the way, but she threw them back with her dark lighting. "YOU DID THIS, I CAN FEEL IT. YOU HAVE A STRONG POWER, I CAN SENSE IT," she yelled again. Sailor Moon was stunned she didn't know what she could do, but dodge.
Then An'ya hit her with her dark lighting. It threw Sailor Moon back into a bench, An'ya stood a few feet away. She then made a huge sphere of lighting in her hands and held it high over her head, "Now it's time for you to die Sailor Moon." Before she could release the ball another ray of light shined down; right on An'ya. Her scream was high and you could hear the pain in her voice. Everyone through An'ya was done for, but a dark sphere incased her. Her eyes had a glazed look over them, and then a smug smile crossed her lips. Then she was gone.
Everyone ran to Sailor Moon asking her if she was alright, but Uranus and Neptune stood back watching with a small smile when they saw their princess was alright. Then in corner of Uranus's eyes she saw someone run from behind a tree further into the forest. All she saw was a flash of silver and gold.
"That was too damn close," snapped Sailor Sol.
"Yeah I know," snapped back Hiruko. He was in his husky form, running next to Sailor Sol. "I still don't understand why we had to go and call it in like they said."
"Because they would be confused if no one came, they would think I forgot. Or rather, Eileen forgot."
She look over her shoulder to make sure no one was following her, when she saw it was clear, she slowed down to a walk. But her senses were on high to make sure no one came on to her in surprise. When she got her breath, she hide behind a tree and turned back into Eileen and just leaned back against the tree.
Hiruko sat down at her feet and stared up at her, waiting for her to say something. "That An'ya sensed the princess power. If they figure it out, I will soon have to show myself to them," she said while staring at the gold star.
Hiruko knew she was right, but he didn't like the idea. "If you feel that it will come to that, then it will happen."
Eileen walked back onto the path; soon she came to the same spot she ran into Lita and Raye. Her hearted ached for the past she knows and they did not. She leaned on the rail again staring at the dark and starry sky. "Do you think it will be alright, to tell them the whole truth?"
"I don't know, but I feel that they will ask and you will have to tell them. Some will be upset, some will be confused, but the outers will not trust you. They never did, so don't expect too much from them," he said while sitting on her left side and looked out over the scene with her.
They stared at the horizon for a while then went home. There Eileen made dinner and watched the night sky some more. When she was sure she didn't sense any more problems and that the scouts were safe. She let her self go to sleep. However it was a half sleep; because a part of her was always keeping watch, and this night her dreams were calm.
Sorry for the late update. But it took me awhile to get around to rereading the new parts. If there are still some mistakes, that's because I am bad at finding them. I hope you all liked it, and please review.

Chapter 2
{Friday Night}
The sliver of a moon high in the sky watched as a young woman in gold and silver jumped from one roof to another followed by a silver color hawk with golden eyes. The young woman was carrying a golden staff with a white circle on top with a golden star in the middle and a pair of white wings coming from the base of the circle in her hands but it didn't hinder her jumping because as she jumped she appeared as if she was flying. She finally approached a large apartment build and jumped to one of the balconies near the top of the build. She opened the sliding door and the hawk soared into the room, which was the living room.
The young woman glared at the hawk, "You couldn't wait until I got in first, could you?" She then walked in after the hawk.
The hawk turned its gold eyes on her, there was no color expected the gold, it was eerie to look into those eyes, and she still wasn't used to it. "My wings were tired, I wanted to rest, is that too much to ask," the hawk said back with a snap. The hawk then started to glow a gold color; all you could see was the eyes and the star symbol on top of its forehead. When it died down, a silver colored cat with gold eyes stood were the hawk once was.
"Why is it, that you are the only guardian who can change its form? Why can't Luna or Artemis do that?" she asked with her hand on her hip while the other was holding her staff.
The cat jumped on the couch and laid down, "I don't know; I never knew why." The cat laid its head down and closed its eyes, basically saying that it was done talking.
The young woman sighed, and she held her staff in both hands in front of her with her eyes closed. She then started to glow yellow; the color of her glow pretty much matched the suns rays, but when the glowing stopped a girl wearing a white shirt and yellow shorts with long red hair and green eyes stood in her place. She was holding a small golden star with a chain coming from one of the tips in her hands. She stared at the star in her hands, sighed again and put the chain around her neck.
She then walked back out onto the balcony and looked out over the sleeping city before her, "Hiruko, do you think that if the enemy just stayed away, would my life still be normal or would you still have awakened me?"
The cat opened his eyes when he heard the question, he really was not looking at anything just staring at space mostly, and pondering on the question. "Eileen, the truth is... I don't know. I wish I did and I wish you could have lived your life a normal person," he then jumped on the head of the couch and sat down looking at her back, "but you shouldn't dwell on that, you are who you are now, you can't change that."
She turned back to the cat, "I know that Hiruko, I just wish I had a friend to talk too, like they did. I just wish..." she glanced to the side, "... I didn't have to keep myself a secret from them."
Hiruko looked at her with heart felt eyes, "I know...." He then jumped down and walked over to stand in front of her feet and stared up at her, "But what I am; chop lever, you aren't alone, I am with you." He then gave her a big toothy smile.
Seeing him with that big smile and those gold eyes, made her laugh. She then bent down and picked up the cat and held it close, "I know Hiruko, and thank you." She looked out at the city again, and just watched the lights.
Later that night Eileen finally went to bed, but she wasn't sleeping all that well, for she was having a dreadful dream.
Eileen was wondering in a forest that had a layer of mist on the forest floor. Then she saw another woman with gold hair with red highlights running through the forest, Eileen followed the woman. As she followed the woman through the forest, she realized that she knew this place some how, but was not sure why but then she finally came to a clearing, looked up at the sky, and saw only stars. She looked down at the horizon and her eyes went wide for before her was the earth; big, blue and beautiful. She then saw the mist cleared and before her were a beautiful white castle and the woman with gold hair running toward it. She arrived but the woman was gone and the castle was covered with bodies of dead castles guards and servants. As she walked, tears were coming down her face, she felt so sorry for these people, and she wondered why they died, how after a time all of this seemed familiar. She reached the gardens and when she looked pasted the door she saw the woman with gold hair crying over a body that is when she realized it was the princess, the princess's guardians and the prince of earth. The woman with gold hair stood up and turned toward Eileen, her face wet from tears, "Remember." She then disappeared. Eileen then ran to the princess, picked her up into her arms, and cried into the princess's chest. She then felt a hand lay on her shoulder and whirled around on a man she thought she never see again. He had a sad look on his face, but he wasn't crying for the loss of the Princess. She then noticed the Queen in the corner glaring at both of them.
"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave this moon and not come back," the Queen said with a deadly voice.
"But my Queen, I felt the light of the princess has gone out, but I had to be sure. What happened?" she pleaded with the Queen.
Queen Serenity walked forward holding the moon scepter in her left hand and the Silver Imperial Crystal was floating on top of it. Her eyes then turned to Eileen, "I was not talking to you child." Her eyes turned back to the man, "I was talking to him. You are no longer welcome, begone."
"I will not leave with out her," the man said back with should deadliness that it even shock Eileen.
"Fine, if you will not leave of your free will, I will banish you to darkness," the Queen said back with should hate in her voice that Eileen was again shocked and afraid for the man who stood between her and the Queen of the Moon. The Queen then held up her staff and the Crystal shinned bright.
The man started to cry out in pain as the crystal shinned its power on him, he fell to his knees, "I will come back Serenity and I will have my revenge and get my love back." He then started too disappeared right before Eileen's eyes. She screamed his name as she tried to reach for him, but he as gone. She fell to her knees and cried uncontrollable.
"It had to be done, and you know it; Eos," the Queen said with authority.
Eileen then looked up at the Queen, "What right do you have? Just because you are the Queen doesn't mean you can control people's hearts. Just look at your our daughter," she points down at Princess Serenity. She then stood up and held out her hands; the star floated from her neck into her hands and started to glow, she glowed like the sun and when it died she stood before the Queen in her silver and gold holding her golden staff with a white circle on top with a golden star in the middle and a pair of white wings coming from the base of the circle.
The Queens eyes turned deadly again, "I will not be disobeyed again and I will not have you turn on me." The Queen then held up her staff and the Crystal glowed silver light and Eileen held out her staff and the top started to glow, but it was no match for the Crystal and she started to cried out in pain, as the light washed over her body. Eileen fell to her knees and dropped her staff next to her as she reach up into the sky and whispered her lovers name, it was the last word from her mouth.
Eileen awoke in a sweat and was breathing hard. [Why did I have that dream, what was it trying to tell me? In addition, why did the Queen call me Eos, and who was that man? Was Eos me?] Eileen thought to herself. She got up and walked out to the baloney from her living room and watched the city once again. [It is like that woman wanted me to remember something or someone from my past. But Hiruko told me about my past and I have my memories of the past, why did I dream that?] Eileen sank to her knees and put her head in her hands. "She was so sad," Eileen whispered into her hands.
She rested her head back on the balcony, "Why did this happen? Why can't I just be normal?" She then stood up and saw that the sunrise was starting because she could see a hint of the suns ray over the mountains to the east. "I wondered if the others felt like this, when they became Solders," she asked the sunrise. She then sat in a chair she had out on the balcony and watched the sunrise.
Flash back
As Eileen walked the streets of the small town, she didn't know she was being followed, but she did have a feeling someone was watching her. By the time she reached the apartment building that was to be her new home it was dark. After she opened the door to her apartment she screamed for a silver dog that looked like a husky was sitting in her room. "Oh my God, how did you get into my home? Well, I bet your master is worried about you, so come on get out," she commanded the dog, but that's when she noticed the dog had gold eyes and a star mark on it's forehand.
She blinked once for she has never seen a bog with gold eyes and a mark like that one before, but she got over it fast and smiled at the dog, "Fine, you can stay for a while, besides you look like you could use a drink or maybe something to eat and I don't see a collar."
She closed the door, set her stuff down and walked into the small kitchen. As she was preparing a bowl for some water she heard a voice from behind her say, "Thank you, Eileen but I am not thirsty or hungry."
She turned around but only found the dog staring at her, the look on the bog's face looked so human it was eerie.
"If you are wondering it was I who said that and since I am the only one here, who else would decline something to drink," the bog said again.
Eileen dropped the bowl she was holding and it fell to the floor and broke, "You... just... talked..." She voice barley said the words, for she was in a state of shock, she was glad that there was a counter behind her, for she would have fallen.
The husky giggled and walked over to her, she tried to back away but she didn't go anywhere for she was right against the counter, "Oh Eileen, do not be afraid, I am our friend. I am here to awakening you, for your power is greatly needed." The husky sat at the entrance to the kitchen watching her.
She took a deep breath, "Power? What power, I don't have any power... and how can you talk?" she said with a shaky voice.
The husky laughed again, "Oh Eileen, you have a great power, a beautiful power, and please don't concern yourself in how I can talk, you will understand soon."
"How come you know my name and I don't even know yours?"
"Oh, I am sorry, where are my manners. My name is Hiruko and I am your guardian," the husky bowed its hand at her.
"My guardian, I don't understand."
Hiruko stood up, "You will." Then the star symbol on his hand started to glow, he then closed his eyes.
Eileen then felt an overwhelming power explode in her, and memories of a past life came back to her. Feelings of loneliness and sadness over came her, and imagines of a beautiful princess and a handsome prince came into her mind and four young women of power dead defending their princess and a sad ending. She then sank to the floor closing her eyes, when the feeling faded; a star symbol shinned on her forehead.
Hiruko sat in front of her, "You are Sailor Sol, guarded by your mother star Sol, the Scout of Light."
"Sailor Sol..." she whispered. She opened her eyes and the symbol faded away.
"Your duty is to protect the light of the scouts, most important the light of the Princess and Prince. I am your guardian Hiruko."
"Hiruko; does this mean a new enemy has come to the system and is too strong for the other scouts?" she asked with a distanced voice.
Hiruko nodded, "You must power the scouts up when it is the right time."
"I understand," she then stood up and looked out the window to the baloney. "I feel that I am needed now, we better hurry before it is too late."
"Then you will need this," Hiruko then placed a golden star with a chain coming from the tip of one of the points on the floor before Eileen. She bent down and picked it up. Hiruko then turned into a silver colored hawk and went to sit on her shoulder.
End of Flashback
As she watched the sun rise over the horizon she didn't even notice Hiruko walk up, "Eileen..." he yawned before he could finish what he was going to say, "...what are you doing up?" he finally finished. The cat then jumped into her lap.
Even if they haven't known each other long, they know they are alone in this world and had an understanding between them. So they became more then just partners they become friends in the short time they knew each other. "Oh, I had a bad dream and needed some air, then the sun started to come up so I choice to watch it," Eileen answered back.
"A bad dream?" Hiruko asked.
Eileen just nodded to him.
Hiruko realized that she was not in the mood to talk about the dream so he didn't press it. "Well, after it's done, you better get ready, you have a lot to do tomorrow," he said while purring as Eileen rubbed his hand.
"I know," she said in a quiet voice. She watched as the sun finally showed it self over the horizon and the light slowly moved over the sleeping city, waking it up. She smiled at the sun, "Hello and good morning to you."
{Saturday Morning}
As the morning went on Eileen got ready for the day. She took a shower then dressed in blue jeans shorts and a gray tank top and a dark yellow vest. She made herself breakfast and fed Hiruko. They left the apartment around mid-morning; Hiruko had turned himself into a husky and walked next to Eileen. It was a warm summer day, the sky was clear and no clouds could be seen. Eileen was enjoying it as much as she could while she was looking at a map, trying to find her new college and not get lost at the same time.
While looking at the map she couldn't see the people who were walking the other way or crossing her and Hiruko weren't watching either, he was sniffing all the different smell that was coming to his dog nose. So, neither of them noticed a running blonde coming toward them but the blonde wasn't watching too. Soon they all hit, Eileen and the blonde both went to their butts. "Hey, watch where you are going?" they both said at the same time.
Eileen looked up at the familiar voice, and blushed. For in front of her was her princess, but normally known as Serena. "Serena, god I am sorry. I didn't see you, I wasn't paying attention," Eileen said in a sincere voice.
Serena smiled at Eileen, "It's alright, I do that all the time, but it seems to only happen with people I know." She started laugh at her own joke, Eileen looked at her with an odd face when she didn't get the joke, then started to giggle too when she finally understood.
Eileen helped Serena up when she stopped laughing, but as Eileen started to pick up her things, she heard a high screeching noise and with it, "Aww, how cute?" Eileen looked up and found Serena petting Hiruko behind the ears. Eileen started to laugh when she noticed the look on his face.
Serena stopped petting Hiruko and looked over at Eileen, "What's so funny?"
Eileen calmed her laughing, "Oh nothing, but I see you met Hiruko." Eileen goes back to picking up her papers, when she finished she stood next to Serena with Hiruko in front of them.
"Hiruko; is that your name? I love it, and I love that star bald spot on his forehead," Serena cooed again at Hiruko. However, she didn't notice the annoyed look that across his face when she said bald spot. She looked up at Eileen while rubbing his head, "I didn't see the dog when you got off the plane?"
Eileen giggled again, "Of course you didn't, dogs don't travel with the people, and I picked him up after I left you with Darien. So Serena where are you going in should hurry?" she said through the giggling.
Hiruko had a pleased look on his face in how Eileen calmly explained her having a dog now.
"Oh, just going to meet Darien and the gang for lunch," Serena then noticed the maps in Eileen's arms, "Are you touring or something? What's up with all the maps?" She then stopped petting Hiruko's head.
Eileen looked down at the maps in her arms, hugged them to herself and started to blush, "I guess I do look like a tourist, but I don't know the city, and I am trying to find K.O. University so I know how long it takes to get there and then resister for my classes."
Serena smiled that warm smile of hers and grabbed Eileen's arm, "Well, I will show you where the University is."
"But Serena, you will be late, and besides, why do you want to help me, we don't know each other all the well," Eileen said in a calm voice.
Serena started walking down the street the way Eileen was going before they met head on, she was taking Eileen with her, but she didn't have much of a choice anyway with Serena holding onto her arm. "It's alright if I am late, I am always late, but I want to help you because I think we should be good friends, I know we didn't start good so I wouldn't mind making that up," Serena said while looking forward.
Eileen smiled to herself, "Alright, if you want too." She smiled down at Hiruko but he had a semi-mad look on his doggie face which confused her for she didn't understand why he would give her that kind of look. She looked back up at the street. She was happy to have the chance to get to know her new princess.
After a while and back tracking, Serena finally got them too the University. "Finally we got here, I am sorry for so much back tracking Eileen, I guess I got lost a few times," Serena said with a sad voice. She looked up at the school and realized it was closed, "I guess it closed early on Sunday." Serena then hung her head.
Eileen smiled at the young woman and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Serena, it's alright. At least I know where the school is to my new home and that's what I was planning on doing today," she said in a kind and warming smile.
Serena smiled up at Eileen, while Eileen was touching her she could feel a warmth wash over her, the feeling calmed her and more relaxed, and a feeling of pure light washed into her heart. Serena never felt anything like this, she was very calm, and realized that Eileen didn't notice any difference. [I think I will try and get close to this woman, she seems so familiar but I don't know from where,] Serena thought to herself. "Yeah, I guess you are right, well since you have nothing else to do today, why don't you come with me for lunch. I am sure my friends won't mind, besides I won't be surprised that they started without me," Serena said in her normal cheer tone.
Eileen removed her hand and placed it around her maps at her chest, "I would love to come with you to lunch, and I just hope your friends won't mind." Serena just waved off her concern.
Serena then led them to Crown Fruit Parlor where her friends and Darien were waiting.
{Saturday Evening}
The sun was finishing its journey across the sky, with its last light shinning on the world, it made everything orange. If you looked out at the ocean, you could see two beautiful sunsets, one above the other. Couples were sitting at benches taking in the most wonderful sunset that has been seen in a long while. However, there were two who were not aware of the sunset happening or the color around them.
"I don't know Raye, I just don't see anything. I mean, shouldn't there be a burn mark or something?" Lita asked while studying the ground where the Kurai Kage stood before being engulfed by the light. She stood with her arms crossed in front of her, and a puzzled look over her face. She and Raye have been there for a short while, looking over the area trying to find some kind of clue, but she knew that's not the real reason they were in the park. They wanted to make sure no more innocent people were attacked by this new enemy.
"I know Lita, I can't find anything in these bushes," Raye said as she climbed out from behind some bushes.
Lita looked up to find Raye pulling tiny leaves from her black raven hair, and noticed the displeased look on her face. A smile crossed Lita's face and a light laugh came from her throat while she shook her head at her friend. She heard Raye say, "Don't laugh, do you know how hard it is to get these damn leaves out of this length of hair?" Lita only continued to laugh, for she said she would go into the bush, but Raye went in ahead of her saying; she will do it.
"Well, I guess we just wait now," Lita said as she walked to the closet bench. That's when she noticed the sunset and the color around them, for she was so busy looking for clues and listening for danger, she didn't notice it before. She was glad she didn't miss it for it was the most beautiful sunset she has seen in a while. Raye followed without saying anything, for she was still trying to find leaves and haven't noticed the sunset, so Lita didn't say anything to her about it.
When Raye finally looked up from her hair, the color from the sunset was gone, and a faint purple glow was left. "You know, while you were busy with your hair, you missed the most beautiful sunset," Lita said in a tease. She couldn't help say it, for she knew it would bug Raye, and she was getting bored with the silence.
Raye just sighed, "Well, I am sure there will be a sunset tomorrow, so I didn't really miss anything," she said calmly.
Lita was saddened with her response and she didn't understand why. She looked back at the fading sunset, and then noticed a woman in jean shorts with dark yellow vest and a silver color looking husky standing next to her while she watched the sunset. Then it dawned on her that it was Eileen and her dog Hiruko. Lita poked Raye with her elbow, "Hey Raye look, isn't that Eileen," she said while pointing.
Raye looked were Lita was pointed and nodded, "Yeah it is."
"Let's go talk with her," Lita then stood up and waited for Raye to join her.
Raye gave a confused look up at Lita, "Why? I thought we didn't trust her."
Lita then realized she was looking forward to talking with this strange woman whom seems familiar to her somehow. "Well, I guess we can try and learn something about her, and find out what makes us not trust her so much?" Ever since last night and lunch early that day, Lita has not felt uneasy around Eileen like she did when she first meet her.
Raye sat in her spot thinking then stood up, "Yeah, I guess you're right, we should learn more about her." Raye straighten the dark red dress with a black long sleeve shirt under it.
Lita and Raye walked up to Eileen but before they got very close, Hiruko turned and stared at them while they walked closer to Eileen. Hiruko's eyes to anyone but Eileen looked like the eyes of the animal he took the shape of, but they still kept their non-human feel to them, which most did not noticed. Lita noticed it when he turned when they started to get close to them and they didn't make that much nose. She realized she seen eyes like this before, but at that moment she couldn't place it.
Raye was the first to speak since Lita was busy with her thoughts, "Hey Eileen, is that you?" Raye called when she knew Eileen could hear her.
Eileen turned from the fading sunset with a sad look on her face, Eileen wiped a hand over her cheek but before she could get it Lita notice a line where tears once traveled.
[She was crying? I wondered why?] Lita thought to herself, now puzzled by what could make this woman cry.
"Oh Hello; Lita, Raye. I didn't notice that you were in the park," Eileen answered back. Lita and Raye stopped three feet away from her; Eileen turned her back to the ocean and leaned on the rail, so she would hear them better. Hiruko sat next to Eileen on her left watching both girls. "So, did you two need something?" Eileen asked with a plan voice.
Raye found her hard to read and it was bugging her because she has never met a person she couldn't read before. Raye put a simple smile on her face and said, "Oh, we figured since Serena likes you, we might get to know you better," Raye said in a polite tone.
Lita felt like falling over, [Where did she get that idea all of a sudden?] Lita thought to herself. Lita cleared her throat and said, "Besides, we saw you by yourself over here and figured to keep you company." Lita saw a glare from Raye out the corner of her eye. Lita figured Raye did not like Lita's reason.
Eileen just smiled to the girl's reasons, "Well, Serena is a caring and easily trusting girl from what I noticed, and it's understandable that you would like to find out about this new person who is around her. And thank you Lita, I don't mind the company."
Raye was taken back, [She knows we want to protect Serena, but how? Who is this woman and why can't I feel that power from her anymore?] Raye thought to herself. Raye gathered herself quietly and responded, "Well Eileen, you are right. Serena is a rare person, and we try to keep her safe and don't take kindly when someone tries to hurt her. You wouldn't want to hurt her, would you?"
Lita was dumbstruck, "Would you excuse us please?" she said to Eileen.
Eileen nodded her head in reasons. Lita grabbed Raye's forearm and pulled her away, "Raye, what are you doing?" she said in Rayes ear as she pulled her away.
When they stopped Raye placed her hand over Lita's, "Lita that hurts."
Lita released her hold on Rayes arm and watched as Raye rubbed where she grabbed her. She folded her arms in front of her chest waiting for Raye to answer her question. "Well," Lita asked growing inpatient.
"Well, what?" Raye asked while staring at Lita with stern eyes and still rubbing her arm where Lita grabbed her.
"Why did you say that to Eileen?" Lita asked with a quiet voice making sure Eileen couldn't hear her, but her tone was very serious.
Raye folded her hands behind her and answered, "Because I am trying to find out why she said that about Serena."
"What? That she understands that we don't trust her and wish to know more about her?" Lita said back in an upset voice but still trying to keep it quiet, which was getting hard since her temper was rising.
"Don't you find that weird? And why are you so upset, I thought we were going to find out more about her?" Raye said in a curious tone.
Lita then realized that she was upset, but she couldn't figure out why now that she started to think about. She only knows that when Raye asked Eileen if she would hurt Serena she got upset. She thought she was upset because Raye basically told Eileen that Serena is important to us greatly. "I don't know, I just felt upset for some reason when you asked her if she would hurt Serena," Lita said in a confused voice.
Then out of the trees came a high scream. The sound from what Lita and Raye could tell came from the center of the park and they both feared why this person screamed. They both knew Eileen heard it because before they knew it she was right beside them.
"What was that?" Eileen asked in a worried voice.
Lita looked at Raye and Raye looked back. Raye then turned to Eileen, "Eileen, could you find a payphone and call for help, me and Lita will check it out."
"But I don't know what to call for help about it? Far as we know it could be some girl frightened by a rat or bat," Eileen asked with much worry and anxiety.
"Well, either the police or ambulance would help. I don't see any smoke so we know it's not a fire," Raye said back.
Then another scream went up into the early night's air, but this time it was much deeper as if it came from a man. "Well, that proves it wasn't a rat or bat because that sounded like a man's scream," Lita said while still staring in the direction of the sound.
"But what could you two do?" Eileen asked.
"Well, we have some first-aid experience and we can help until either the police or ambulance arrive," Raye said while watching the trees.
"One more thing, what if it's a robber or something," Eileen asked with worry from just thinking of that.
Lita then looked at Eileen with a big smile, "Don't worry, I can kick his butt." Then she gave her thumbs up.
Eileen smiled to that, "Alright, I will go get help." Then she ran off in the opposite direction with Hiruko right beside her.
"Real smooth Raye, real smooth," Lita said as she watched Eileen fade from site.
"Thank you," Raye said back with her chin up.
Lita just laugh, "Lets go check it out, but I have a feeling you are thinking the same thing I am thinking."
"That's it's the new enemy," Raye answered. Lita just nodded her head in agreement.
Then both girls ran off toward the screams, both hopping it was nothing, but knowing it was a false hope.
As they both ran through the park toward the screams, they took out their crystal transformation sticks getting ready for the fight. As they got closer they saw the Kurai Kage and its master: An'ya standing over two people. Lita and Raye stopped behind a tree and watched as the kurai kage reached inside the girl's chest. At that moment Raye was on the communicator watch contacting the others about the attack.
As Lita watched as the kurai slowly took its claw out of the girl's chest in its claw was a shining light in a sphere shape. Unlike the star seeds the light did not go out. The Kurai handed the light to An'ya, to Lita it looked as if she was looking it over and then the sphere disappeared and so did the woman's body. Then the Kurai started to walk over the man, that's when Lita elbowed Raye.
"Hey Raye, they already got one person, but it looks like that thing is heading toward the guy now, can we please stop it now," Lita asked in a quiet voice.
Raye then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, they are on their way."
They both held out their crystal transformation sticks and called, "MARS CRYSTAL POWER. JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER," and together they said, "MAKE- UP." Raye was circled by fire and Lita was circled by lighting, when their transformation was finished they were standing behind the tree in their super sailor outfits.
As the kurai reached its claw out for the man's chest, its hand was hit by a flaming red arrow then it was hit in the chest by tiny lighting leaves. Both the kurai and An'ya looked in the direction of the attack and saw Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter standing back to back.
"I will not let you harm anymore people, in the name of Jupiter I will stop you," Sailor Jupiter said.
"And I will not let you put out the fire of passion, in the name of Mars I will burn you," Sailor Mars said.
An'ya just smiled, "So, you have come back to try and fight and stop me have you. I guess you didn't learn your lesson last time. Kurai Kage, attack them!!!" she yelled.
The kurai dropped the guy he had by the neck and started to walk toward Jupiter and Mars with his claws drawn. He jumped toward Jupiter first, when he was right above her head, it was hit by a flaming arrow.
Jupiter turned around and smiled at Mars. She went into a dead run toward An'ya, An'ya on the other hand did not move, she just held her hand out toward Jupiter and yelled, "BLACK LIGHTING" and some black lighting bolts shot out of her fingers. It hit Jupiter so hard she went slamming into a near by tree.
An'ya just laughed, then looked toward her kurai and saw that Mars was clawed at the right arm; she was more surprised to still see her standing. She realized that the kurai was aiming for Mars chest but it missed. Suddenly she heard something that sounded like water rushing. She realized that the other scouts showed up and dodged just in time for a stream of water to shot past her. She looked toward the attack and saw the other scouts and the man in black running into the area and to their comrades.
When Jupiter opened her eyes she saw Sailor Moon and Mercury standing over her with concern over their faces, then relief when she smiled at them, "I am fine, going to be sore tomorrow, but fine," she told them. She looked passed them and saw Venus was blocking the enemy's lighting attack with her attack. She then saw Mars was still fighting the kurai, but she noticed that she had a wound on her right arm, and it was three claw marks. With worry and angry over her face, she stood up and readied her attack; her antenna came out and she yelled, "SUPER SUPREME THUNDER." Then a much stronger version of supreme thunder shot out from her little antenna right at kurai. The attack hit it straight on again, but it seemed to only be stunned, but it was enough for Mars to get away and get threaded by Mercury.
Sailor Moon now stood in front of her hurt friends the same way they did for her the night before, [What do I do? My attack does nothing to this new enemy. What we need is more help, but they are too far to help us.] Then as if her thoughts were heard, a ball of yellow energy flew and hit the kurai in the side. The kurai was pushed back into the bushes.
Everyone turned to see who did the attack, all the sailor scouts had a smile on their faces, and An'ya had an angry look wondering who else is getting involved. Two women standing back to back on top of a tree branch were who they saw. "Who the devil are you?" An'ya said in a dangerous tone.
"Guarded by Uranus, the planet of the skies, I am the soldier of flight, Sailor Uranus!" said the one with short blonde hair.
"Guarded by Neptune, the planet of the deep sea, I am the soldier of the affinity, Sailor Neptune!" said the other with aqua-green hair.
"Uranus... Neptune," all the scouts said together.
"We felt a new enemy on the planet and figured to check it out. It seems we came at the right time," said Uranus jumping down from the branch and joining the others. Uranus and Neptune took their places on either side of Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury was tending to a wounded Mars, Venus with Jupiter took a defense stand in front of them behind Sailor Moon, Uranus and Neptune.
No one noticed a man standing off in the distance with two cats lying on his shoulders. "I hope those two help," said Tuxedo Mask. The two cats nodded their hands in agreement.
"Great more anonymousness, Kurai Kage; attack them," An'ya yelled while flying at the new arrivals.
Sailor Moon, Uranus, and Neptune dodged An'ya's black lighting attack. She was forcing on them only because the kurai was attacking Venus and Jupiter.
"WORLD SHAKING," Uranus throw her ball of energy at the around and it with straight for An'ya but she dodged the attack and Uranus cursed under her breath.
"DEEP SUBMERGE," Neptune gathers a ball of water energy in her hands then aims it at An'ya but this time she block's it with her black lighting. "Why can't our attacks do anything?"
"Mine doesn't do any good either; this enemy is just too strong for us," Sailor Moon finally told them while dodging a stream of black lighting. Both Uranus and Neptune give her a look of utter surprise. Now knowing this piece of info all the scouts were just fighting for their lives.
Soon all six scouts were pushed into a group. Tuxedo Mask joined the group a little after Neptune and Uranus did, but he was guarding the injure scouts; Mars and Jupiter. Soon there was a semi-circle around Mars and Jupiter with Mercury doing her best to help them. For a second time, they felt the stab of fear.
"Well, I can't believe that you thought you could stand up to me?" mocked An'ya. "I think my master will be very proud of me for being him, so many Intralux's." She waved her hand and the kurai jumped at Venus, Uranus and Tuxedo Mask. While she let more of her lighting attacks at Sailor Moon and Neptune.
Tuxedo push's the kurai off but before Uranus could get her attack off she heard a faint voice say, "Sol Sun Ray!" Then a column of golden light shined straight on the Kurai Kage. The creature cried out in pain with a horrible high sound. She wasn't sure what it sounded like. Everyone in the area had to cover their eyes from the light, and after it died down, the kurai was gone. Just a small pill of dust was where the kurai once stood. Then it was caught in the air and disappeared again.
An'ya screamed at the top of her lungs, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO, who did that?" She started at dead run for Sailor Moon. Everyone jumped in the way, but she threw them back with her dark lighting. "YOU DID THIS, I CAN FEEL IT. YOU HAVE A STRONG POWER, I CAN SENSE IT," she yelled again. Sailor Moon was stunned she didn't know what she could do, but dodge.
Then An'ya hit her with her dark lighting. It threw Sailor Moon back into a bench, An'ya stood a few feet away. She then made a huge sphere of lighting in her hands and held it high over her head, "Now it's time for you to die Sailor Moon." Before she could release the ball another ray of light shined down; right on An'ya. Her scream was high and you could hear the pain in her voice. Everyone through An'ya was done for, but a dark sphere incased her. Her eyes had a glazed look over them, and then a smug smile crossed her lips. Then she was gone.
Everyone ran to Sailor Moon asking her if she was alright, but Uranus and Neptune stood back watching with a small smile when they saw their princess was alright. Then in corner of Uranus's eyes she saw someone run from behind a tree further into the forest. All she saw was a flash of silver and gold.
"That was too damn close," snapped Sailor Sol.
"Yeah I know," snapped back Hiruko. He was in his husky form, running next to Sailor Sol. "I still don't understand why we had to go and call it in like they said."
"Because they would be confused if no one came, they would think I forgot. Or rather, Eileen forgot."
She look over her shoulder to make sure no one was following her, when she saw it was clear, she slowed down to a walk. But her senses were on high to make sure no one came on to her in surprise. When she got her breath, she hide behind a tree and turned back into Eileen and just leaned back against the tree.
Hiruko sat down at her feet and stared up at her, waiting for her to say something. "That An'ya sensed the princess power. If they figure it out, I will soon have to show myself to them," she said while staring at the gold star.
Hiruko knew she was right, but he didn't like the idea. "If you feel that it will come to that, then it will happen."
Eileen walked back onto the path; soon she came to the same spot she ran into Lita and Raye. Her hearted ached for the past she knows and they did not. She leaned on the rail again staring at the dark and starry sky. "Do you think it will be alright, to tell them the whole truth?"
"I don't know, but I feel that they will ask and you will have to tell them. Some will be upset, some will be confused, but the outers will not trust you. They never did, so don't expect too much from them," he said while sitting on her left side and looked out over the scene with her.
They stared at the horizon for a while then went home. There Eileen made dinner and watched the night sky some more. When she was sure she didn't sense any more problems and that the scouts were safe. She let her self go to sleep. However it was a half sleep; because a part of her was always keeping watch, and this night her dreams were calm.
Sorry for the late update. But it took me awhile to get around to rereading the new parts. If there are still some mistakes, that's because I am bad at finding them. I hope you all liked it, and please review.
