Hiyo everybody! nn; And guess who I've got with me today! *grins* Mirai Trunks and Peruru, my two favorite-est muses in the whole wide world. nn;;;
Mirai Trunks: *sarcastic* Hurray. *looks bored*
Ha, I bet you though you wouldn't be here, huh, _T-MAN._
MT: Oo; Oh shit, you're not going to start calling me that too, are you?
Yes.
Peruru: *nervously looking around; the last time he had been near (or in) a fanfic, his left arm was in a cast for 6 weeks* oo;;;;; ((Heh…poor Peruru…LD, what kind of friend are you, scarring one of my muses for life and killing the other, all in one fanfic! Plus you paired him with the wrong character. :P [PAIRING CLUE TO ALL THAT HAVE READ SOME OF HER FANFICS!]))
So…anyway…I have noticed that there isn't much DBZ. There will be some next chapter. And there's a little now. That's why the prologue is so long, to satisfy your DBZ needs for the next four chapters or so. nn; Believe me, the DBZ crew is so much fun to write with, I would probably have already gotten bored with this fic if there wasn't any. Nn
And now, I want you to all to go onto your favorite MP3 downloading website and get the song "Minority" by Green Day. Great song. Kinda reminds me of Kouken. nn; You can listen to it while you read!
Per: *slowly tries to inch away*
*grabs Peruru by the collar of his shirt* Oh no you don't, Fairy boy.
Per: *sigh, turns to readers* Please. Help me.
MUAHAHAHA! You people have to STAY with me! HA! *clears throat* Well now that I've gotten that out of me system, read chapter 4! And keep guessing on the pairing! nn;

By Lady Firefly
*~*~*~*
Starr, however, was taking her dear old time finding Kouken. She stopped at three different places to continue her endless quest for squirrels. She'd been trying to catch one ever since she was an eensy weensy koneko. After about 5 minutes, however, she remembered what she was supposed to be doing in the first place, and made her way towards Kouken's apartment.
She jumped up onto the small tree nearby and weaved her way through the fire escapes, then hopped through the window on the thirteenth floor. The room was messy, with clothes scattered all over the floor. In the corner was a bed, and underneath the covers of the bed was a large human-looking lump. *Geez, can't believe she's still asleep,* Starr thought to herself.
She hopped onto the end table next to the bed, then slowly and gently, she pawed at the lump. "Wake up…" The lump stirred slightly, then didn't move.
Starr frowned, then grinned evilly and crouched down in a slightly defensive position, wriggling her tail. Suddenly she leaped up into the air and landed hard on the lump. "Wake up!"
"Ahh! Holy shit!" The 'lump' bolted upright in the bed, instinctively knocking the blue kitty to the ground. The covers were pulled off, revealing the 'lump' to be a girl about 16 years old, with hair an icy tone of blue tied messily into a braid, pale skin, and dark, murky gray eyes, wearing a white short sleeved t-shirt and gray pants as pajamas. A black string with a crystal quartz charm strung on it was looped around her wrist. She glared at the cat, who was now trying to peel herself off of the floor. "Shimatta, what did I tell you about waking me up like that?"
"But it's the _only_ way to wake you up, Kouken-Aisuzu-hime-san!*"
Kouken's gray eyes narrowed, and she threw her pillow at the kitten, who quickly ducked it. "Will you stop calling me that?"
"Ah, gomen, I forgot." Starr grinned sheepishly.
"Why the hell _did_ you wake me up, anyway?" Kouken muttered as she pulled the rest of the covers off of her legs.
"Short version or long version?"
"As short as you can possibly make it."
"How short would that be?"
"Five seconds."
"Okay…" The kitty took a huge breath of air. "IwasatthemalltheotherdayandIsawthisyoumasoIthoughtthatyoumightneedtoteamupwiththeothersenshisoIwentovertoSerenity-hime-sama'shouseandItalkedtoLuna-sanandsheandIandSerenity-hime-samasetupasenshimeetingwithallofthesenshiexceptforSetsuna-Pluto-Hime-samaandItoldthemaboutyouandtheywantedtomeetyousoIwenttogetyouandyouwereasleepsoIhadtowakeyouupandthenyouaskedmewhysonowI'mtellingyouwhyandit'sbeenwayoverfivesecondsbutohwell.**"
Kouken's eyes widened as she tried to make sense of the Starr had just said, ignoring the fact that the synopsis was well over fifteen seconds, let alone five. "You mean now?"
"Yes…now!" Starr panted, trying to catch her breath.
"Oh god," Kouken got up from the bed quickly and grabbed Starr, then opened the door and promptly tossed the cat out of the room. "Get out, I need to put on normal clothing."
"Eep!" Starr landed on all fours, then sighed, a sweat drop appearing over the back of her head. "Ahh, she always was shy about changing…"
*~*~*~*
:::"Okaasan… I thought I was done with my training. Why do I have to go back to the past again?"
"The senshi of the past need you again, my Chibi Usagi."
"How? We defeated the Dead Moon Circus, and Galaxia. There aren't going to be any more villains until the Black Moon Family arrives again…"
"Trust me, Usagi. They'll need you. You need to warn them about a new evil."
"Well why won't you tell me who this evil is? I won't be able to warn them if I don't even know myself."
"You will know the evil when you see it, Usagi…take care, my daughter."
"I'll miss you, Okaasan.":::
Chibiusa sighed as she looked around, trying to see through the foggy mist. She had only learned she would be here, back at the Gates of Time, an hour ago. It was still unclear to her why she was here in the first place. But it would be nice to see Puu again, she thought, as she made her way towards the large silver gates.
"Puu?" She called out, unable to see clearly. The mist was unusually foggy today. It was only really foggy like this when something was going to happen. It was kind of working on her nerves. "Puu, it's me."
There was no answer. She frowned, and walked closer. She could see a figure standing in front of the Gates, with a long sort of staff. Why wasn't Puu responding?
She cupped her hands to her mouth and tried to call her again. "Setsuna-san? Puu?" *I should stop calling her that,* Chibiusa thought angrily. *Puu. What a stupid nickname. Geez, I'm twelve years old for crying out loud.*
She concentrated hard, to hear Puu's--Setsuna's, dammit, Setsuna's--response.
And then she heard a faint whisper, a whisper of two little words, words that made her russet colored eyes widen.
"Dead Scream."
"Kyaaa!" A bright pink energy ball was hurled in her direction, and she barely dodged it. "Puu, what are you doing?" She exclaimed, forgetting her inner resolution to call Setsuna that particular name.
The green haired senshi threw another Dead Scream at her, and she stopped in her tracks, the attack just inches away from her face.
Something was wrong with Puu. She knew. She had to get the other senshi and warn them
*Was this the new evil Kaasan…* She trailed off in her thoughts as Pluto threw yet another attack. "Moon Tiara Action!" She yelled, throwing her tiara at the attack and countering it. She raced towards the Gates, then quickly opened the door and went inside.
*~*~*~*
"So where is this friggin' temple anyway?" Kouken muttered discreetly as she followed Starr down the sidewalk.
Starr roamed along the sidewalk happily, her tail swishing behind her. "I think it's this way."
"You _think_?" Kouken echoed as she fiddled with the necklace on her wrist. ((AN: I say necklace because it really is a necklace, not a bracelet. She just wears it on her wrist because…well…she wants to.))
"Uh…yeah…I kinda forgot exactly where it is…"
"You _WHAT?_"
"Ahh, don't worry!" Starr said, laughing nervously. "Ahahaha! I'll find it!"
"You better," Kouken muttered. "Because if you woke me up for no reason…"
"Kouken, it was ten O' clock."
"Exactly. Much too early for me to be up on a weekend."
Starr blinked, then walked around a tree planted into a hole in the concrete. She then hopped onto a nearby bench, and walked down it, then hopped back down again.
Kouken eyed the hyperactive little kitty uneasily. "Will I regret it if I ask you what you're doing?"
"Oh, I'm retracing my steps," Starr explained as she circle a garbage can, then continued walking in a zigzag pattern down the sidewalk, muttering to herself. "And then I went there…and then…I think…yeah…and then there was that squirrel…and then…I…" She stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and thought hard. "I…think...I went that way…" She walked to the left, then stopped again. "Or maybe it was that way…" She started walking right. "Or maybe…or…maybe…"
Kouken groaned and rolled her eyes, flicking a strand of loose hair away from her face. "Baka neko."
"Or…maybe…Holy cheese, a squirrel!" Starr's eyes widened as she spotted a squirrel sitting in a tree across the street. She bounded across the road, dodging several cars, her violet eyes locked on the squirrel.
Kouken's eyes widened. "Baka cat, you're not supposed to run across the street like that!"
But the little kitty had crossed the street successfully and without any injuries (Much to Kouken's disappointment), and was now trying to climb a tree. "Come back here, you stupid squirrel!"
Kouken sighed, a sweat drop appeared on her forehead. She glanced about, and saw a temple to her right. "Figures," she muttered to herself as she walked up the steps of the temple and entered it.
*~*~*~*
Meanwhile Chibiusa was hopelessly lost.
She was trying to find her dimension while keeping an eye out for Setsuna, which was rather hard, since Setsuna seemed to pop up everywhere. The pink haired senshi had to keep running in every direction, which meant she probably had missed the portal in her rush. Every time she had thought she had lost the older, green haired senshi appeared from behind some portal and threw yet another Dead Scream at her. She wasn't being very careful with the portals, either; two of the attacks that had missed the younger senshi had flown into portals, one with little dancing hamsters and the other with some crazy little yellow mouse that farted lightning. ((Hamtaro and Pikachu. DOWN WITH THEM BOTH!))
Which soon led Chibiusa to the conclusions that this either wasn't really Setsuna, or that this was Setsuna and she had been brainwashed. Or maybe it was a brainwashed imposter.
Running, running, running. She was getting tired. One more Dead Scream and she probably wouldn't make it. She needed to find the stupid dimension and _fast._
She soon came to a fairly large blue one. She'd seen this one before. Her own wasn't far off.
She turned around to see if it was nearby. And it was a good thing she had to, because at that second the imposter/brainwashed Setsuna stepped out from behind a purple colored frame showing a brown haired boy ((Hiiro [or maybe Duo, your choice] and his gundam.)) standing next to an inconceivably tall robot and launched another dead scream at her.
"Eep!" She ducked out of the way and looked back at the attack as it was hurled towards the blue colored portal. Her first thought was *Aah, another portal gone. Oh well.*
But then she realized that the person showed in the portal had blonde, spiky, gravity-defying hair and aqua eyes and big, big muscles. And he was also somewhat short.
And her next thought was, *OH SHIT.*
Quickly, she whipped out a pink tier similar to Sailor Moon's tier, and created a pink ball of energy with it, which countered the attack hurling towards the blue portal. She panted slightly. "Ah, shit, that was close."
The imposter/brainwashed Pluto scowled at Chibiusa and launched another attack at the pink haired senshi, which was dodged and destroyed a pink framed portal with some sort of cheerful blonde plastic-looking creature that bore a very similar appearance as a bunch of old dolls Chibiusa used to play with. ((I hates Barbies too. nn;))
Looking frantically around, Chibiusa quickly spotted the large white marble portal. She dived out of the way of another Dead Scream and reached towards the portal, then was quickly sucked up into the portal and 'spit out' on the other side.
*~*~*~*
"Is Starr back yet?" Usagi asked in a confused tone of voice as she looked around.
"Who knows," Makato replied, her head resting on the table.
"What's taking so long?" Minako whined.
"How should I know," Rei snapped angrily. She was getting more annoyed by the second. Haruka seemed to share these feelings, for she simultaneously grumbled something inaudible to everyone except Michiru, who gave the tomboyish senshi a death glare.
A door slammed, and Usagi looked up to see a girl she assumed was Kouken. "Ah! Konnichiwa!" she said happily, standing up and waving slightly. "You must be Kouken."
Kouken frowned slightly and nodded. Her gaze rested on Rei for a second and her eyes narrowed for a split second. *Guess she remembers,* Rei thought to herself, narrowing her eyes back.
Usagi seemed to notice the glare fest that was about to occur, and quickly changed the subject. "Um…so where's Starr?"
"Outside," Kouken replied. "She'll be here in five…" She began to count on her fingers. "Four…three…two…"
"Hi, sorry minna!" Starr jumped up onto the table in front of Kouken, grinning sheepishly. "I was...uh…kinda sidetracked…"
"By a squirrel," Kouken added.
Starr blinked. "Uhhh…heh." She looked around. "So…uhh…I see you've met everybody already?"
"Not really."
Usagi stepped in at this point, and pointed to each senshi as she said their name. "'Kay! I'm Usagi, that's Ami, this is Minako, over there's Makato, there's Rei, and that's Haruka and Michiru, and this is Hotaru." Each of the senshi waved, some less enthusiastically. Kouken nodded slightly.
"So…yeah." Usagi grinned sheepishly. "That's most of us. Setsuna's at the gates of time, you'll probably meet her soon." she thought for a second, and suddenly remember her pink haired daughter from the future. "And there was--"
When speak of the devil, Chibiusa, or rather, "Sailor Chibi-Moon," appeared in the doorway, tired, and older looking then when she had left for the future one year ago.
*~*~*~*
