(Guess whose back? Back again? Lol, sorry! My friends were singing that all the time and it got stuck in my head. Anyways! I still don't know any attacks or spelling of names, but I'm gonna try my best! Here is the second chapter of "The Eternal Moon"! Enjoy!!!)

The Eternal Moon

Chapter 2 The Welcoming

(replay)

Rei lit the fire and kneeled in front of it with Usagi and murmured a small chant. They stared into the fire and images began to appear. Two girls wearing brown school uniforms, one with short dirty blond hair and the other with brown hair up in two buns similarly like Usagi's odangos. A dragon behind the first and a phoenix behind the latter. The girls disappeared and two other animals appeared. Usagi gasped. It was a turtle and a tiger! They formed a circle that seemed to grow bigger and bigger. Rei turned to speak with Usagi and gave a gasp of horror. "Usagi, you're fading!" Usagi looked at herself and her eyes widened in shock and terror.

Her legs were slowly fading and her torso was already disappearing like a flame flickering out. She raised her head and seemed to fall backwards. Rei's face was contorted between fear and shock as she tried to reach out and save her princess. Usagi closed her eyes and fainted.

~continued~

"Is she the one?" "I think so. Who else could have come?" "She obviously is the one, Suzaku. Baka." "Hush, she is awakening."

Usagi slowly opened her eyes and silently prayed she wasn't surrounded by maniacs. 'Aaah! Who turned out the lights??' She blinked once, and then twice. There was a dim light that slowly brightened around her as she concentrated on the features of the four strangers in front of her.

'Oh my god, there are four guys in front of me. Four incredibly HOT guys!!!! Bishies!!!!' "Are you alright, my lady," asked the one in red and gold, "I am Suzaku, God of fire and courage." 'God of fire and courage?? He's one of the Elders? But he looks so young!' "I'm fine, thanks though," she replied.

"Jeez, let's get the show going already," the man in blue disdainfully sniffed, "I am Seiryuu, God of water and power. I am also more powerful than the idiot Suzaku." Suzaku squawked in indignation and they began bickering. 'Wow, they're just like Rei and me! Now that I think about, we seemed like little kids' Usagi sweatdropped as she watched them argue and grow redder by the moment like volcanoes.

"Don't mind them. They always argue, it's a usual concept now. You'll get used to it," said a lighthearted voice. Usagi looked to her left and saw a man in dark green. "I am Genbu, God of earth and determination," he said grinning widely.

'Now this is a guy who looks like he can have fun!' Usagi thought as she grinned back. "I am Byakko, God of ice and wisdom," said a voice to her right, piercing her thoughts. Usagi snapped her head to her right as her hair flew behind her and saw a man dressed in white. "Ack," sputtered Genbu as Usagi's hair smacked him right in the face. Everyone paused what they were doing and looked at Usagi. "Hehehehe," she said rubbing the back of her head as she sweatdropped again, "Sorry, Genbu, I didn't mean to do that. My hair can have a mind of its own!"

Genbu slowly inched away after that last sentence and stared at her hair as if it was an evil monster. (A/N There! A little humor in our story!) "As funny as this all is, we have to tell her why she is here in the first place," said Byakko. "Yea, I wouldn't mind knowing where I am in the first place," she replied sheepishly. All the men formed a circle around Usagi and started talking. "You are in our universe," began Suzaku.

"As if she didn't figure that out already, moron," muttered Seiryuu. Suzaku shot a vemenous glare at him and continued, "Our world is being consumed by a darkness that could mean the end of it all. In your universe, we would be in a book-,"

"In a book?!?" interrupted Usagi as her face began to turn red with the shock. "Yes, a book," replied Seiryuu, "As the baka was saying, we are in a book and there are certain things you should know. Each of us are gods of a section in our universe. Suzaku is god of the East, I am god of the South, Genbu is god of the North, and Byakko is god of the West. Hopefully your brain can remember that information." "Now wait a minute." Usagi began in indignation.

"Don't mind Seiryuu, he can be a little grumpy," said Genbu kindly, "Try not to interrupt as we talk. This is very important." "Ok, sorry," Usagi meekly replied.

"As I was saying," Seiryuu pointedly said, "As gods we each get mikos, and our mikos come from your world. Genbu and Byakko had already gotten their mikos and they both returned after their quest. Suzaku's miko and my miko are currently in our universe. As a miko, they have to go on quests and at the end of their quests they call on us and receive three wishes. To help them on their journey are seven warriors for each. Mine are the Seiryuu no Seishi, and Suzaku's are known as the Suzaku no Seishi."

Seiryuu continued with a satisfied grin, "My seishi are already gathered, but Suzaku's ragtag bunch is still searching for theirs." His smirk widened as Suzaku gained an angry pout.

"Seiryuu's warriors are a bit rough though," Genbu continued for Seiryuu as he gloated to Suzaku, "and sometimes the mikos can get killed. They can be killed on their quest, or they get consumed by us at the end of their journey. This may seem very foolhardy and a waste of time, but it is how our world functions."

"Now, back to the subject of darkness. You are from the moon, correct," Genbu continued as Usagi nodded, "And as you are from the moon, you protect the planets around you?" Usagi nodded again and Genbu said, "The darkness that is consuming our world is like the darkness that wants you. That is where you come in; we want you to help us by saving our world from this evil."

"Do you accept our plea for help, Goddess of the Moon," Byakko quietly asked Usagi. She hesitated and slowly answered, ".As protector of good, I accept your plea and will try my best to cleanse your world."

The four gods nodded in thanks and replied, "You have our everlasting thanks, Usagi. Your first task is to go to the Suzaku Seishi and join them on their quest. On your journey you will encounter the monsters you call youma. You will have to fight these monsters and later on you will meet with the Seiryuu Seishi."

Byakko continued alone, "We will transport you to the Konan Empire together. We will inform the Seishi of your help and we give you items to help." Genbu came forth with a necklace and a pair of earrings. "These will help you communicate with us and they allow you to speak with others in their minds. They will not work if the person is too far away though. They also will not work if your emotions are running too high," Seiryuu said, "If you lose these." he trailed off. Usagi nodded in understanding. The men formed a circle again with Usagi in the center.

"You can use any name you wish in our world. Be it Usagi or Serenity, the choice is yours," Suzaku said, "Relax because the transportation will commence." Usagi gravely nodded and closed her eyes and placed a hand over her brooch as she prayed to her grandmother, Selene, for strength. There was a bright flash of rainbow colored light and the dark void was empty once again.

Silver Fox28- Well! That took a while to type! I don't know if I gave the gods the right districts, but that's ok! Anyway, the Elders sort of run the world(s). There is Fire, Water, Ice, and Earth. There could be others but I'm not sure if I want more or not. Moon is not an Elder...yet. Mwahahahahahahaha! Also, about the mikos, I can't remember which got consumed and which just returned to her world. So, I put down that they both returned. First chapter was 3 pages and this was 4 pages. You guys really owe me!! Don't forget I need names and attacks. I also need outfit details, for example, the outfit for Cosmos. Thanks! Ja ne!
