Unknown Pasts and Confrontations

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

**Flashback to the last chapter**

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."

Hotohori sent for all of the seishi and Miaka. He told them to be in the throne room within thirty minutes for an emergency meeting. They were all there except Miaka who appeared five minutes later with food for everyone.

Once everyone was settled down, the first to speak was ChiChiri, "What's wrong, Hotohori-sama?"

"I think that we should leave the explaining to Usagi and her guardians," Hotohori said looking pointedly at Usagi.

Usagi let out a sigh. She knew that this was coming, and she knew that she needed to answer all questions, she just didn't want it to happen now. "I'm going to tell you a story that's going to be very confusing. Please hold all of your questions until I am done." She waited for a nod from everyone, and once she got it, she continued.

"The story starts a thousand years ago. Back when the earth was a united kingdom, and the rulers held the names of the constellations, and all the planets were ruled by different people, there was the Silver Alliance. It allied the kingdoms of all the planets except earth that had not joined it. The supreme ruler of that alliance was the Queen of the Earth's Moon. Her name was Selenity. Now the earth finally wanted to join, but just as all of the other planets, it had to be a royal blood alliance. That meant that royalty from the Moon had to marry royalty from the earth. This would seem to work out perfect. The Queen of the Moon had one daughter, and the Queen of earth had one son.

'There is one rule that the Moon has that could mess it up. The royalty of the moon could not be forced into a marriage for matters of state. The princess, as wild as she was, was already in love. This caused her mother to despair, for love to a moonchild would be everything to them. Selenity arranged for a ball that her daughter would meet the earth's prince at. She knew that if her daughter was really in love, than nothing would change, but she hoped for the best in this meeting.

'Meanwhile, the prince told his parents that he too was in love. He wouldn't marry someone he didn't love, and he wouldn't do anything of such magnitude for matters of state. He, however, did agree to go meet with them, and talk with them for the matters of state to see if he could come up with some other way for them to become part of the alliance.

'The night of the ball, of course the royalty of the moon were last to enter. When they were announced, the prince was awe struck. He couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the princess come down the stairs. There was the person that he had fallen in love with. When she caught his gaze, her breath came ragged for a moment, and it felt as if her own heart had skipped a beat. There was the very person that she told her mother she wouldn't marry because she loved him. That was a very large contradiction in her book, but that's what had happened.

'The marriage was being planned from that night henceforth, and the earth's royalty stayed on the moon bringing the prince's guards to the moon. The princess's guards were also brought to the moon. As was tradition, the princess of each planet was to become part of the elite guard, the sailor senshi. Earth's princess would now become the first ever, Sailor Earth. Sadly, she would also be the last.

'She was in love, and had been for a very long time, with her brother's guard. And slowly but surely, each of the inner senshi fell in love with one of the guards. After the wedding, there was planned a great ball to which all royalty and nobility of the earth and moon would come together to celebrate the joining of the earth's prince and the moon's princess.

'During this ball, the evil attacked and killed all except the Queen. As the queen watched her daughter die with her love, she wept the tears of the moon. When she was the only one left, she let out a great cry that shook to moon to it's ruin, and made a wish on the moon's crystal heart, the Ginzuishou, for her daughter and all her loved ones to be reborn in the future.

'That is where we come from. I am the princess of the Moon, Princess Serenity. These are my guard, my senshi, all except one, that is. Sailor Earth, who was reborn, but has not regained her memories of us yet.

'The prince of earth's name was Hotohori, his guards were, Tamahome, who the princess of the earth loved, ChiChiri, Tasuki, Chiriko, Mitsukake, and Nuriko. The princess of earth was none other than Miaka. Do you now remember?"

During the story, each of them had been getting flashbacks of what had happened. They now all remembered who she was and their own pasts. Miaka was the first to respond. She immediately got up from her place beside Tamahome, and ran over to Usagi. Engulfing her in a bear hug, she said, "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

"I couldn't tell you before the time came, because it wasn't my decision. My senshi and I would all like to be excused. This has taken its toll on us."

Hotohori only nodded his head as he and the others digested the information they had just remembered. The Inner Senshi were the first out of the door, followed immediately by Usagi. They all knew that a large confrontation was coming, and they needed some time to think before that happened.

The Outer Senshi, however, took their time in leaving, and took a nice stroll around the gardens. Haruka and Michiru both had a grin on their face thinking of what the Inner Senshi were about to have to endure.

Tasuki was the first to come to his senses, and went in search for a certain fiery tempered maiden that he knew would be hiding from him.

He also had a good idea where she would be too. He found her in the forest just outside of the palace sitting underneath a giant willow tree. She was well hidden, and if he hadn't remembered her tendency to do this, he wouldn't have found her.

When he entered the secret grove of the willow, she turned to him and gave that mysterious smile she had been giving him since they had met in this life time, however, it was no longer secretive, for he knew everything that she knew.

Unexpectedly or maybe expected, he walked up to her and took her in his arms. He held her there for a moment as he thought of the last time they had spoken during the Silver Alliance.

**Flashback**

A young woman sat under a willow waiting for her love to come meet her. She had been hearing rumors of a war, and they were all on the edge for the ceremony that was to take place today. She knew that she wouldn't be able to speak to him until the ball that night, so they were meeting now.

When he finally appeared, he put his arm around her waist, and his lips met hers in a searing kiss. When they broke apart, he gave her his grin that said I-know-you-love-me. However, immediately following it came a frown.

"What's wrong?" she asked him knowing the face that he made.

"I will not be able to join you at the ball this evening," he replied.

Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion, "Why?"

He gave a slight growl of frustration at this and said, "Because the royalty think that I'd be better suited to take a post outside of the ball for fear of an attack."

"That means that this is our last meeting for today?" she asked.

He gave a sharp nod. Neither of them said another word; they just remained there enjoying each other's embrace. They parted in silence to resume their duties.

**End Flashback**

They had both died that night, and he had witnessed her death, which pushed him overboard, driving him to a rage that made him near unbeatable, until he wore himself out, and lost all of his strength, and was killed from a sword pushed through his back.

When he fell, he landed beside her, and her face was the last thing that he had seen.

His grip tightened around her almost painfully, and he growled out, "That won't happen again."

She knew what he had been thinking about, and she knew that he meant he wouldn't lose her again. She had the same feelings about him. She would not let him go again. They would remain together forever this time, if it was the last thing that she did. She grinned at that thought. It would be the last thing that she would do.

Shortly following Tasuki, four others took their leave. ChiChiri was the second to leave the throne room. He had to go find the one that he hadn't remembered since his death. Guilt reigned in his mind as he thought of the pain he had seen in those ice blue eyes every time that they had met his own.

He found the blue haired angel in the library. She had her back to his, but he knew that she was aware of his presence. He had seen her shoulders stiffen when he entered the room.

**Flashback**

It was his day off. He would still have to be around to make sure everything went smoothly, but he would have some real free time today. He was headed straight for the library in the moon palace. He had been told that they had one of the largest libraries in the solar system, second to only the palace on Mercury. His love for books is what brought him to this knowledge of libraries.

When he reached the library, it was ten times larger than he expected. Everything was in his reach, but the building, which was actually separate from the actual palace, was five stories with nothing but books. There was barely room to walk between the books. He wondered for just a moment if it was possible to get lost in this library. However, his attention was immediately drawn to the blue haired angel that was the only other person using the library at the moment.

She was sitting in a chair in a small reading corner, the only placed not covered with books as far as he could tell, reading some book that he wasn't able to make out. She had her back to him, but he could tell that she knew he was there.

He walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "I was looking for the history section no da. Would you happen to know where it is?"

When she turned to him, their eyes caught for what seemed like eternity, but in reality were only a few moments. She had the deepest blue eyes that he could imagine. They were much more of ice blue that went on forever.

Surprised didn't even cover how she felt. No one ever came to the library during the day. If anyone came at all, it was in the evening or for school. But he was just there looking for some history books.

She stood up and introduced herself; "I am Mizuno Ami, Princess of Mercury, and Princess Serenity's guard. May I ask who you are?"

He smiled and took her hand in his. He bowed kissed it, giving a hidden smile when he saw her blush, and said, "I am ChiChiri, second in command of Hotohori's guards. It is very nice to meet you, Princess Ami."

She blushed as he kissed her hand, and when he finished speaking she said, "Please, don't call me 'Princess' just Ami or Ami-chan would be fine. That is what all of my friends call me."

He gave her a smile that nearly melted her heart as he said, "Ami-chan it is than."

**End Flashback**

They slowly but surely grew closer after that. That day was forever their favorite memory together. As she showed him where the history section was, they talked as if they were old friends. They soon learned everything there was to know about each other.

The night of the ball, they died in each other's arms. He took a sword meant for her, and she took one meant for him. They had fallen together, and the last thing either of them saw was the other's face.

Ami couldn't get the bad memories of that death out of her mind. She wanted him to remember, and now that he did, she wasn't sure what to say to him. What was she supposed to say to him.

She knew that he was standing behind her. He was waiting for something. She stood to turn to him, but before she could, he had his arms around her waist. She was flush against her body, and her face tinted a light shade of pink.

ChiChiri buried his head in her hair. It still smelt of daffodils and roses, as it did so long ago. She heard him speak muffled by her own hair; "I missed you so much, Ami-chan!"

She leaned back against him; "I missed you more than you'll ever know, Chi-kun."

They didn't say anything else, but stayed in that position for what seemed was hours.

Nuriko had seen the whole exchange, and was happy for his friend. Now it was his turn to seek out who he wanted to see more than anyone else. (A.N. Nuriko has been dressing like a man since Minako showed up) He knew exactly where to find who he was looking for. She would be in her room. As strange as that sounded, that was where she liked to think. She did everything in her room if she could help it. That was her safe haven.

That was exactly where he found her.

Her bedroom door was just slightly ajar, and he could see that she was staring at her figure in the mirror. He hated when she did this. She considered herself unlovable. Someone had placed a curse on her as a child and said that she would never find true love. However, that person had forgotten the cardinal rule, the Goddess of Love will always find love, despite any curse.

She never thought that he was lying to her, she just couldn't except the fact that there was no curse. She had been taught all of her life that she would never find true love. She knew that Serenity and the other senshi didn't believe that, but she couldn't make herself not believe it.

Now, however, she realized that he did love her. Her fear now, was of loosing him. She wanted to stay together, and now she had a chance. But if she took that chance, would she loose or win?

She hung her head low and tears spilled out of her eyes. He took this as his chance to sneak in the room and he quietly crept up behind her. He took her hairbrush and started brushing her hair.

Her head shot up and she smiled lightly when she saw him and relaxed. She loved it when he brushed her hair. She remembered the first time that he had done it for her.

**Flashback**

Minako was sitting under a tree in the palace courtyard. Rei had chased Usagi off to who knew where, and Ami had gone to the library. Makoto was sitting by her.

Makoto stood up and said, "Well, Minako-chan, I want to go see what's on the menu for tonight, and I'll catch you later. Ja matta!"

Minako smiled and said, "Ja matta, Mako-chan!"

As Makoto retreated to the kitchen area of the palace, Minako picked up her hairbrush and started to brush out her hair. It was an odd habit of hers, but she did it all the time.

Nuriko had been strolling around the grounds enjoying his time to himself when he noticed the beautiful blond that had captured his heart.

He was going to surprise her when he saw her pick up the hairbrush that had been sitting beside her. She started brushing out her hair. He smiled to himself and walked quietly up behind her.

He took the hairbrush from her hand, and she turned to him startled. She smiled when she saw who it was and then frowned, "Please return to me the hairbrush?"

"Now why should I do that, my dear princess?" He asked her in a mocking tone that did nothing more than irritate her.

She crossed her arms and turned away from him in mock disdain. He took the brush and started to run it through her hair. The sensation was the most relaxing thing that she had ever felt. He was tender, and his strokes were soft. He treated her as if she were a doll.

He just brushed her hair for what seemed like hours.

**End Flashback**

That had been but a week before the wedding. She felt slightly sick as she thought of the way that they ended. She had seen him drop dead across the battlefield, and so stricken with grief, her defense went down, and she was stabbed in a fatal blow. The last thing she saw was his corpse across the battlefield.

He just stood there brushing her hair in his own getting and giving comfort. They remained silent.

Meanwhile, Mitsukake was across the palace looking for none other than Makoto. He knew that she would most likely be in the kitchen cooking up a storm that's what she did every time she was upset in the moon kingdom. The cooks had never minded her doing that either. She would cook whatever it was they needed cooked.

He remembered all too well the time that she had been upset with him. When they had first met

**Flashback**

"Mako-chan!" Minako called running down the hallway.

"What is it, Minako-chan?" She asked.

"Serenity has gone to earth again!" She said stopping to catch her breath.

Makoto let out a sigh. It seems that the princess had met someone on earth, and she kept sneaking away to meet them. "I'll go get her this time, Minako-chan."

Minako only nodded her ascent.

Makoto teleported to earth where she knew the princess was most likely to be. When she got there, she found the princess sitting in a field of wild flowers beside someone. And she was talking to him. 'This must be the stable boy that she has fallen for,' Makoto thought.

She was about to yell at the princess when someone put a hand on her shoulder. She looked back to see a handsome man shaking his head 'no' meaning for them to be left alone. He jerked his head behind him to the trees and started walking that way. She felt that she should go talk to him.

When they reached the woods, he said, "I think that we need to give them a little more time. They are saying their good byes for matters that can't be spoken of."

"Who are you?" Makoto asked.

"I am Mitsukake, the palace doctor," was his reply.

She nodded and said, "I am Sailor Jupiter, her highness's head guard. She is not supposed to be here right now, and she knows that."

He nodded and said, "They will be done shortly. You won't have to worry about her disappearing anymore if you let them finish."

She smiled at him beginning to like him for the pure fact that he was seemingly able to look at everything from different perspectives.

They sat and talked while she waited on Serenity to finish saying goodbye to the man that she was with.

**End Flashback**

When she had found out who he really was, she had gone to the kitchen, and was so angry that she even scared the cooks off. He remembered the fire that he had seen in her deep green eyes. She was beyond angry at him for lying to her.

He also remembered the last time that he had seen her. She had fallen in battle, and he had tripped over her. The shock left him there and vulnerable for but a moment, and that had been his downfall.

As he suspected, she was cooking in the kitchen. As he walked in, she looked up at him, and immediately looked down at the vegetables that she was chopping.

He walked around the counter, and grabbed her around the waist. Shock caused her to drop the knife that she had been using.

He placed his head on top of hers and said, "Don't be upset. I don't want you angry or sad. I'm here now, and everything will be alright."

She nodded numbly. And they stayed like that for a long time. They lost track of time and just remained in each other's embrace.
