Hi everyone. I just wanted to say that if this chapter repeats anything, please feel free to tell me. It's been so long since I've written anything on this story, that I've forgotten where I left off.

Hotohori's Questions

******************

Hotohori was getting sick and tired of not getting his questions answered. He wasn't about to let them stay here without knowing why they were here. He had to know more about this young girl so that he would be able to find out why she was so scared of letting herself feel anything. He was in love with her, and he knew it. He also knew that she was in love with him, that's why Haruka was trying to make arrangements for them to get married. It had been a week since Minako had joined the group, and during that time, three other people joined the group. The first was a girl named Ami. She had dark blue hair which was the same color as her eyes. She always wore a long light blue dress that went down to her ankles.

*****Flash back*****

It was the day after Usagi had woken up from her little nap of regaining her memories. She knew that the others would be here soon, it was just a matter of finding them and getting their memories back. What she didn't know was that they would find her long before she would find them.

She remembered how Minako had joined the group, she had been found in a rural village on the outskirts of the kingdom. A noble had found her when he was travelling through the village from visiting his family on a farm just past the village.

Usagi had no idea that Ami was going to be the next person who would join the group. Usagi had taken to walking in the gardens every morning since she had come to this world, but she never expected to find what she found. As she was walking through the roses, she came up to a white rose bush. They caught her eye because it was surrounded by red rose bushes, so in a way, it looked out of place, but it actually looked like it belonged there.

After a few minutes, she started to walk down the stone path, but she nearly tripped over a young girl in a long blue dress. When she looked closer, she saw that it was Ami. She couldn't believe, but here was the proof right in front of her. Usagi ran to get the guards to help her carry Ami to the princess's bedroom. They layed her on Usagi's bed and left the two princesses alone. When Ami woke up, she was completely freaked out. She was scared because she knew that she had been in the emporer's garden and that she wasn't supposed to be there.

It took Usagi a little bit of time before she could calm her down. When she finally did get Ami calm, she asked her a simple little question. "Do you know me, Ami?" was all that she said. With those words, Ami collapsed and was out for a few hours. When she woke up, she had regained all of her memories.

*****End Flashback *****

He couldn't believe that within less than a day, there was another person who became part of the group. This girl was very tall and had brown hair. They call her Makoto Kino, or usually Princess Jupiter. She was very beautiful, but also very strong. She has brown eyes, and always wears a green dress just like Ami.

*****Flash back*****

They were still waiting on Ami to wake up, she had been out for atleast four hours. They had no clue that Makoto would find them. She would be the one that already had her memories back from the Silver Millenium. She didn't have her memories of the last life, but that didn't matter.

She knew that she would have to find her princess, but she didn't know where to look. She had a few days to find her, but the rumor around the capital helped her find Usagi easier. She was able to figure out that the Suzaku no Hime-sama was looking for four of her guardians. Makoto also found out that she had six guardians already. She wanted to go find out if this was really Serenity or not. She loved her princess, and she wasn't about to give up on finding her.

She went to the palace, but the guards wouldn't let her in. After a few moments trying to talk to them, they told her to go back to her daddy. This made her mad. She knew that she was one of Serenity's guardians, but they wouldn't let her into the palace. Right then and there, she transformed into Sailor Jupiter and showed them the power of the lightening planet of Jupiter. She gave each of them a small shock which made them run from their post. She went into the palace and scared each of the guards that she came by.

Makoto finally made it into the throne room where the emperor was with all of his council. When she walked in, she said, "Where is Suzaku no Hime-sama?"

"Why do you want to know?" the emperor asked.

"Because I have a feeling that she is the person I'm supposed to be guarding," Makoto said.

Just than, Usagi ran into the room to tell Hotohori that Ami had woken up. She froze in her running and stared at Makoto. She couldn't believe that her friend was here. "Makoto?" Usagi whispered.

"Hai, Serenity-sama," Makoto said with a small bow.

"You remember?" Usagi asked amazed. No one had remembered who she was, not even her.

"Of course I do," Makoto said. "Remember that I promised never to forget you?"

"I know that you did," Usagi said, "but I thought that you would forget like everyone else did. Even I forgot who I was, Makoto."

"How is that possible?" Makoto asked. "I know that your mother would never let you forget who you were."

"Mother's dead," Usagi said in a sad tone.

"Sere-chan!" Makoto said running over to her friend. "What happened?"

"She was killed after the attack," Usagi said with tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Serenity," Makoto said. "Does that mean that you take her place?" Makoto asked.

"Yes, but not until the kingdom is restored," Usagi said looking at her friend.

"I heard that you found six of the others, where are they?" Makoto asked.

"Oh!" Usagi said. "Let's go. I'm sure that they'll want to see you. I can't believe that you remember everything."

With those words, the two girls left Hotohori with all of this new information to think about. Now more then ever, he was curious as to what these girls had hidden in their pasts. He guessed that they had completely forgotten that he was there, or they wouldn't have spoken about their pasts. Everyone had worked so hard to keep their pasts hidden, what secrets were there that they had hidden?

*****End Flashback*****

That is the main reason that he was curious, but the next one made him even more curious about what had happened in their pasts.

He couldn't believe that they were keeping so much from him, but he guessed that they had a good reason to keep it from him, he just wanted to know what.

Usagi had a secret about him and the others, but he couldn't figure it out. He also couldn't figure out why everyone was so familiar to him. It was like he had known them all before, but he didn't.

The last of the senshi to appear was a Sailor Mars, or Rei Hino as she was called by her friends. She always wears a long red dress much like the others. She had long black hair and deep blue eyes almost completely black.

*****Flash back*****

It had been three days since Makoto had showed up, and they only had one left to find. This one was Hino Rei. She was supposedly the fiery one of the group. Not only did she have the power of fire, but she also had a major temper.

Everyone had made sure to warn the emperor that she would probably explode sometime or another in front of him. He had said many times that this didn't matter, but he had no idea what she would really be like.

The way that they found her was by her being brought into the palace by a noble. This noble, however, was a young boy. He was the person who had gotten the best score at the career test (I'm sorry if that's the wrong name, but I can't remember what the tests name was). He knew that if he didn't bring the young girl that he had found in his house, that the seishi and senshi would all be in trouble.

He had seen it in the stars that he would be able to save them if he were to bring this girl to the emperor's castle. He had no idea why he would be able to save them, but he knew that he could.

When Rei had been brought, she had been immediately brought to Usagi to see if she was the last one, and of course, she was. This girl had an odd power of being able to tell the future through fires. She called this a 'fire reading.' Everyone in the court was very curious as to how she was able to do this, but they decided that they would leave it alone.

*****End Flashback*****

This was how each of the 'Inner Senshi,' as they were called, were found. What happened next was a surprise to everyone. No one thought that Amiboshi wasn't Chiriko, but that's the truth.

When the real Chiriko brought Rei to the palace, he revealed that he was the real Chiriko and that Amiboshi wasn't really one of the seven seishi of Suzaku.

When they confronted Amiboshi on this, he ran. They knew that he was guilty, and all of them chased him.

He had run to the river, and when he knew that he wouldn't be able to get away from them, he jumped.

Everyone said that he was dead, but Rei had said that they would meet up with him later. No one believed her, but no one was willing to let her know that because everyone had seen her anger. She had gotten mad at Usagi and had let her power get control of her to scare her. She had never done that before, but she just wanted to be left alone. She was in the process of regaining her memories, so she had her powers on edge.

No one had crossed her except Usagi because she knew that she was only doing that because of her circumstances.

Anyone who got to know the two could tell that they were the best of friends, but just seeing them on the street they seemed like worst enemies. They were always fighting and calling each others names.

Hotohori wasn't about to let everything above go unanswered, he was determined to find out the story behind the girls that were staying with him. It was surprising to watch these girls show up one at a time when they had to go search for the seishi.

Hotohori ordered that the princess and all of her guardians to come to the throne room. When they had gathered, he ordered the guards to leave the room and said this, "I've watched everything that's happened here the past seven days, but I haven't understood any of it. I know that there is a big secret in your past, and I would like to know it. I also know that you've been trying to keep it from me, but I can't take it anymore."

Usagi replied with this, "I knew that you would want to know, so I've already taking the liberty of asking my senshi if it would be ok with them. They all agree that everyone should hear it, so please call the seishi, and I shall tell you the story of our pasts, and why we seem so familiar to you."

To be continued

I think that I'll end it here, the next chapter will contain the secret of what Usagi has to say. Here are some things for you to think about. How did she know that they seemed familiar to him? Why do they want to tell everyone? Why haven't I told you what their memories held? Will this have any affect on any of their relationships? Was Rei's prediction about Amiboshi correct?
