Disclaimer: X-Men, nor Sailor Moon, or anything related to it, belong to me. They belong to the various companies that own them, I'm just a lowly fangirl that loves to make fanfiction about the both of them! ^_^;; I do own this story, and its plotline, however, so please don't take this complicated storyline that I struggle with, please? :p
Author's Notes: I'm alive! Moonchild DJ back with a new chapter to this fic, after a hiatus, and another writer's block. ^^;; Sorry for the wait, but it seems this thing gets more complicated with each chapter, and it really makes me think to come up with something good for each chapter. I hope I don't fail with this one..please enjoy, and review to tell me what you think! Thanks for all the lovely reviews! I'm glad you all like it! ^____^

The group, assembled of five young teenage girls, one young man, two cats, a girl and a man and woman, trailed up the steps into the mansion, glancing around at the rich interior as they stepped into the foyer, the girls blinking when the tall white-haired woman turned to them and handed them what looked to be earplugs.
"Nani?" Serena murmured, taking the apparatus from her.
Charles smiled and glanced at Darien. "These are special machines your friends can use to understand English without having the courses. It translates what we say into Japanese, and what they say into English. That way, an interpretor isn't needed."
"Ingenious." Darien grinned and told the others, watching them blink with surprise before placing the earplugs in. "How were such things made?"
"It helps to have a scientist in the home." Charles replied, smiling at Ororo secretively before steepling his fingers before him. "Now that the language barrier has been crossed..." He paused and smiled warmly when the girls jumped in surprise at being able to understand what he said before sobering. "..there are many things, I'm sure, you all wish to ask."
Darien nodded. "You know of us meeting Joubilation at home, in Japan?"
"Yes. We were with her when she was transported, and she told us of what had happened when she returned. You know that she is a mutant, and going by your knowledge of her, you were the costumed individuals she ran into. What we don't know is your names and how you possess your abilities."
Amy smiled and stepped forward. "Since you know of us, you know these are our civilian identities. I am Amy Mizuno, the Senshi known as Sailor Mercury. My gift is of the blessings of the planet Mercury, water and ice. Our leader, Serena Tsukino," she motioned to Serena. "is Sailor Moon. Her gifts is of the moon itself, light and healing.
"Raye Hino, Sailor Mars, is of the gift of fire." She pointed to the raven- haired girl. "Lita Kino is Silor Jupiter, Senshi of Lightning and power and nature." She grinned at the tall brunette, then pointed to the other blond. "Mina Aino, Sailor Venus, is the Senshi of love and light. Then there's Darien Chiba, Tuxedo Kamen. His gifts tie with the earth itself, and there's Rini."
She smiled down at the pink-haired child at Serena's side. "She's Sailor Chibimoon, and she has the same gifts as Serena."
"So your gifts come from the planets themselves?" Ororo asked. "Did you always have these gifts?"
"I suppose we did. We always had an affinity with our gifts, but we didn't start to have until about two years ago."
"Like a mutant." Charles observed. "Most mutants don't develop their gifts until puberty, though some are born naturally a mutant." At the blue-haired girl's nod, he nodded as well and curved a fingertip against his chin. "Now all that needs to be determined is how you have a connection with Jubilation. She said that she'd had dreams of a past life and of a brother she didn't even know she had."
Darien's eyes widened. "So she's been having dreams, as well? So have I. Of a little sister lost in the last life and this one, before I got amnesia from the crash that killed my..*our* parents. It was just before seeing her that I was having the dreams."
Charles' brow furrowed. "So that must mean you have a connection of sorts. A bond. For that's about the same time that she was having her dreams. And she sppeared to your side when you were in danger. Both of you have been awakened to your memories, and the only fact remains..what happens now?"
"Perhaps I should go call Jubilation, Charles?" Ororo suggested, motioning with her head to the stairs that led to the rooms. At the founder's nod, she smiled, her luminous crystal blue eyes turning as white as her hair as she called up her ability. A small wind whirled around her, playing with the snow-white locks before picking her up as she lifted into the air and flew off towards the girl's quarters instead of walking up the stairs.
As expected, this sent the seven new arrivals, plus two cats, jaws dropping in astonishment as they watched the regal waoman fly away. Charles chuckled at their reactions.
"All in the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning are mutants. We each have our own special abilities. Ororo's is of controlling the elements. Wind, rain, snow, thunder, all are under her command."
Serena blinked. "So that means that you have an ability, as well?"
"Exactly, child. I am a telepath, of the highest calibur, I believe. I can read people's thoughts and send my own."
Amy gasped. "That must take a lot of will-power..to make a wall to prevent yourself from hearing every person's thoughts."
"Yes, it does. But I've taught myself to use it, just as I'm sure that you have trained yourselves to use your own abilities."
"Some more than others.." Raye muttered, elbowing Serena, who grinned sheepishly.
"What can I say? If it involves training or studying, count me out!"
"Then you wouldn't last ten minutes in the Danger Room." a new voice cracked, and they all looked up to Ororo with an arm around Jubilation's shoulder as they walked back down the stairs.
Serena blinked. "What's a Danger Room?"
"Long story." Jubilation grinned, then glanced at Darien. She beamed when the older boy's eyes, the same color as hers, sparkled in delight, and he opened his arms wide. She gave a little squeak and launched herself down the rest of the stairs, straight into his arms.
As soon as he closed his arms around her, Darien had the miraculous feeling of coming home. It was perfect, as if he'd been waiting forever to hold his baby sister again. He gave a relieved sigh and held her close, his cheek resting against the soft black hair that was the same color as his, even the blue-tinted highlights as light shone off. He had another flash of holding his sister close, the scent of vanilla surrounding her as loving parents wrapped their arms around the pair and held them tightly.
"Remember, Darien. Always look out for your baby sister. We may not always be there to protect you, so keep her safe. We love you both so much." A low, masculine voice whispered in his head, and he heard a boy's voice, his own, replying.
"I will, otousan, kaasan, I promise! I'll always look after Jubilation, no matter what!"
'Lousy job I did in protecting her. I forgot my own little sister.' Darien thought to himself morosely as he hugged the girl close.
Jubilation sighed and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "I thought..I thought I was all alone. I had no idea I had a brother, I didn't remember losing people twice."
"That's because you were only a baby the first time in this life, how would you remember something from when you were two or three?"
I should have remembered..then I would have had a little hope after Mom and Da--er..the Lees..died and I was forced to take care of myself."
He heard the tremulous tone to the other's voice, and hugged her lightly. "How old were you when they died?"
"Ten." Jubilation murmured softly, and Darien sighed.
"Well..you're not alone any longer..and neither am I."
Jubilation nodded and leaned back to smile at him, wiping her eyes. "I always wondered what it'd be like to have a sibling."
Darien grinned. "Well, now you know. We've got a lot of catching up to do."
"No kidding. And now you get to meet my extended family."
"Extended?"
She giggled. "WAY extended." She smiled at Charles. "Professor Xavier is like my paternal father figure, and Ororo and and another, Jean, are like my maternal figures. And I have a whole bunch of aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters and cousins and friends." She hugged him again. "But no one can beat a real brother."
Serena sniffled, happy beyond imagining at the smile on her love's face, grinning down at Rini, who grinned back.
"Think it's safe to tell her she has a future niece?" Rini giggled.
"Not just yet, kiddo, unless you want to scare her half to death. It's not every day you have a niece from the future." Serena murmured back.
"Actually.." Charles murmured, the closest to the girls. "Remind me to tell you of one of my former students, who's died more than once, been cloned, and has two children from different timelines." he replied thoughtfully, smiling at the girls' flabbergasted expressions. "And that's not even half of it."
"Oh my." Amy murmurmured. "And I thought our lives were complicated."
Jubilation smirked at her remark. "As the saying goes..welcome to Xavier's. Hope you survive the experience."
Darien blinked. "Just *what* kind of school is my sister going to?"
She beamed. "You'll see."
"I have a feeling we'll be here for a while."
