Chapter 12: The Reunion

Later that night back at Ami's house, all of the girls except for Rei
were in a deep discussion. "Were do you think Guardian has taken Serena?"
asked Lita, "Do you have any idea what he meant, when he said that Rei
knew where they were going?" spoke Ami. "I wonder if he is single?"
sighed Mina dreamily, "We are trying to find out where Guardian took
her to, NOT if he is single or not Mina." Lita stated rubbing the
bridge of her nose like she felt a headache starting to form. Mina
deeply blushed, when she realized that she was thinking out loud.
Rei stood at the window watching it snow outside, "What did he mean I
knew where, I dont know of any places of Peace. The only place that
could be consider peaceful I know of is, my grandfathers Shrine" she
thought then it hit her "Could it be that simple? Could that be
where Serena is?"

Ami looked over at Rei staring out the window, "Poor Rei, this must be
very hard for her." She stood up, walked over to Rei and put a hand on
her shoulder. "Rei, please don't beat yourself up over not knowing where
Serena is, I know if you had any idea of where she could be that you
would tell us." Ami softly spoke to Rei, "Even if we have to wait until
the next yuma attack, we WILL find her." Rei turned to Ami with tears
in her eyes, "Ami?" she asked, with only that one word Ami knew what Rei needed. She reached out and gave Rei a hug as she broke down into
tears. After a little while when she was finished crying Rei stated,
"I hate emotions, they always come at bad times." Ami softly laughed
while hugging Rei, "that's whats makes us human and feel alive Rei."
"I think I know where Guardian and Serena may be at," Rei repley softly.
The whole room went silent, every pair of eyes there turned to Rei.
"They may be at grandfather's Shrine, that is the only peaceful place
I know of." Lita leaped to her feet, "let's go then!" she declared in
a loud tone.

Ami looked outside at the snow storm, "It would be better if we waited
until morning to go." "WHAT!" Lita and Mina shreaked, "why do we have to
wait until morning?" "While you were fantasizing about Guardian's love
life, look what was happening outside" Ami bluntly stated. Lita and Mina
ran to the window, their mouths flew open when they saw a foot of snow
coating the ground and more still falling."There is nothing we can do
until it stops snowing, so why don't we just go to bed?" asked Ami. On
the other side of the city in a small apartment complex, a young man in
a tuxedo was pacing back and forth. "Why did I not do anything to try
and stop him!!" ranted the young man. "I swear if anything happens to
Sailor Moon, I will kill Guardian myself with my bare hands!!

Guardian watched as the sun slowly started to rise, making the snow
sparkle like diamonds, the sunbeams slowly caressed Serena's long
blonde hair and her beautiful angelic face. Guardian walked over to
check on Serena, then leans down and kisses her forehead. "Your future
husband is going to be a very lucky man, let alone any guys you date
when you get older." Guardian though as he watched his 14yr young
charge sleep. Mina, who always slept in, awoke at sunrise for today
was the day they were going to find Serena and Guardian. "Maybe I'll
be able to fill the empty space that's in his life?" she thought to
herself. Rei awoke at her normal time and found to her surprize a
hyper Mina, "What are you doing up so early today Mina?" she asked.
Mina who was so busy fantasizing about Guardian, didn't hear Rei
speak to her.

"MINA!" Rei shouted into Mina's ear, who let out a shreak and said
"Ouch, Rei what did you do that for?" "Because I spoke to you and you
weren't listening, what were you thinking about Guardian being single
again?" Rei replyed with a smirk, "N-n-no I wasn't" Mina answered
blushing. Rei just grinned at Mina "Liar, but I cant blame you he
is a hottie isn't he?" Mina then grinned and nodded, Lita and Ami
stumbled half asleep into the room. "What's going on?, there are
still people who would like to sleep you know" Lita replyed crankily.
"Today's the day we go find Serena" replyed Mina still hyper, Ami
woke up completly "that's right and I am going to have a long talk
with Guardian when we get there." The girls changed into their Sailor
scouts forms and walked out into the snow, "Excuse me, Ladies? Are
you going out to look for Sailor Moon?" asked Tuxedo Mask as he walked
out of the shadows a block from Ami's house.

Sailor Mercury spoke up "We know were she is and that is were we are
headed to right now." Tuxedo Mask's eyes flashed with vengeance "If
you ladies dont mind, may I join you for I also want to have a word
with Guardian myself." When they reached the Shrine they find Grampa
Hino sweeping snow away from the front of the entrance. "Honorable
Sensei, did anyone come here last night?" Grampa Hino looked up at
Sailor Mars and lied "No Sailor Mars, no one came last night for the
snow storm was too bad sorry." Grampa Hino went back to sweeping,
Tuxedo Mask motioned the scouts over and stated "he's lying, I can
sense Sailor Moon here." "I have an idea maybe if I found the young
priestess Rei, maybe she could help us" spoke Sailor Mars looking at
the rest of the scouts. Sailor Mercury cought on to the idea "Yes
can you try and find her Mars?" Sailor Mars went off to look for her,
a few minutes later, Rei came out and asked "Is there anything
I can do for the mighty sailor senshi?"

"Yes, we belive that a friend of ours is staying here to heal,
we asked your grandfather but he said no one has been here"
Sailor Venus explained. "Your more then happy to look around,
if you will come with me. If they are here they probably asked
that no one is to know where they are" Rei stated to the group.
By using Tuxedo Mask's link to Sailor Moon they soon found where
she was. "Sailor Moon!!" the Scouts, and Tuxedo Mask exclaimed,
not caring how it would look Tuxedo Mask rushed over to check
on his angel. He came no more then three feet away from her,
when a bolt of lighting struck the floor in front of him.
"Dont you DARE touch her!!," came a voice from the shadows
of the room. Guardian stepped into the room with his eyes
crackling with a light blue energy and glaring at Tuxedo Mask.
"I lost my princess to the Ignorance and stupidity of man,
And I am not going to lose THIS one to the carelessness and
clumsiness of A man."

Tuxedo Mask glared at Guardian, "you better not be implying
what I think you are." He stated, his words dripping with venom,
while pulling a rose from his pocket. The energy around
Guardian's eyes turned a dark blue and was now glowing,
"Just try It, Tuxie and you will pay dearly." "Ladies,
don't worry about her she is just sleeping peacefuly," Guardian
spoke with a loving expression on his face as he looked upon
Sailor Moon. He waved his hand over Sailor Moon once, without
turning he asked "Sailor Mercury, Miss Hino, May I have a word
with you in the other room?" When they joined Guardian in the
other room, Rei asked "What is going on between you and Tuxedo
Mask?" Guardian waved his hand at the empty room and three
chairs appeared from nowhere. "Ladies", motioning toward the
chairs sitting only after Rei and Mercury were seated. "You
want to know why I don't like Tuxie, is that it Miss Hino? Or
would you like to have that long talk with me first Mercury?"
Guardian replyed trying to keep a netural expression.

Both of their mouth's flew open in shock, "H-h-how did you know
I wanted to have a long talk with you?" replyed Mercury
frightened. Guardian just smilied "Before I tell you, why dont
we lay all our cards on the table so to speak?" He then made a
motion with his hands, "Any secrets told here now, will remain
secrets. Sailor Mercury, I am glad that the fiery one was able
to figure out and tell you where I said. Aren't you glad that
you remembered where also SAILOR MARS," he replyed looking
at Rei. Rei gasped in shock, then in horror that someone knew
that Sailor Mars and herself were the same person. Guardian
sighed as he spoke with his back to Sailor Mercury, "Ami,
you can stop trying to find a way to attack me now ok? We are
both on the same side." Both girls were now very frightened,
not only did Guardian have them alone with him, he knew who
they were as Sailor Scouts and as regular teenage girls.

"Girls, I didn't mean to scare you like that, but if Tuxie
is going to be around I need help watching over Serena,"
Guardian calmly said. Just then a loud crackling sound
echoed off the walls, also that of a human scream, and a
thud of something hitting a wall. Rei and Ami both screamed
in alarm, Guardian just put his face in his hand. "What is
it about younger females, that makes older males lose their
sense of judgement?," he sighed heading into the room the
scream came from. Sailor Saturn and Sailor Venus, were
softly crying as they looked at Tuxedo Mask lying against
the wall on the other side of the room. "Dont worry Mina,
Lita, he is just unconscious from the forcefield I placed
over Serena that's all he is still alive."

When he told them this both girls relaxed and stopped crying.
Then what Guardian just called them registered, they both
looked at each other in shock and a little afraid. "W-what
did you call us Guardian?" asked Lita, "Dont worry Ladies,
your identity's will remain a secret, I won't tell. My only
concern is to protect Serena from any type of harm, that
includes harm that is unintentionally done" he replyed
warmly. Guardian, the Senshi and the unconscious Tuxedo Mask
who was carried, went into the next room so Guardian can
explain everything. After a few hours of explaining, the
scouts finally understand what was going on. "Let me get this
straight, the whole reason that Serena went unconscious was.
That she used a protection spell that she was not powerful
enough yet to use, so she used some of her life force to make
up for the differance. Is that what I am hearing correctly?"
asked Ami typing on her Mercury Scanner.

"Yes, and that is the reason I dont care that much for Tuxie,
she nearly killed herself to save him." Guardian stated
glaring at the still, unconscious form of Tuxedo Mask
lying on the floor. "Guardian?!" came the panicky voice of
Serena from the other room, "Everyone is in here Princess,
"Guardian announced to his young charge in the next
room. "Guardian, Please dont scare me like that again," came
Serena's innocent yet remotely seductive pouting voice from
the doorway.
