A/N: GOMEN!!! I didn't mean to take so long, but I had to catch up on some
school stuff.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. I just enjoy them.
Plot Summary: Usagi, an usual girl who can't remember much of her past, remembers a boy from her past. Who is this boy? Does he know something about her that she doesn't? What will she do when she finds him? (Kishimojin = Goddess of Birth & Children - It seemed to fit her since everything about her seems to be about rebirth. Ex. Hotaru)

Reviewing the Reviewers (lots of them. Certainly encouraging though. So thanks!)
Serenity Angle - Awsome story! I love it! I can't wait for the next chapter!
mayoujou - I try to update often, sometimes with sudden pauses *grin*
angel313 - Wufie is so cute, isn't he?
Angel - I'm glad you like my choice of siblings. I wasn't sure what people would think.
the Desert Fox - Thanks. B-day to Trista.
John Steppenwolf - Thank you!
Airlady - If it was boring, I don't think I could stand to write it. Then again, I do write all those term papers *grin*
Jupiter Angel - Pluto is right. Prince and Princess is right. Father and Half-sister hadn't occurred to my school-abused mind yet. *snicker* Interesting idea. I'll just have to see what comes to mind as I'm writing though.

Usagi - Kishimojin 6 (just noticed that last chapter said 4 instead of 5, that's what I get for copying and pasting.)
Duo continues the story of Usagi's past life. "So, you are Princess Serenity, also something more in this life. Unfortunately, Mamoru, your last fiancée was only mortal and lived a mortal life. Instead of being reborn, a new Earth Prince is chosen." Duo pouts for a second, "And don't think I'm happy about it. I don't want you near any guys!"
"Prince Duo, you always were the unreasonable one." Duo nearly leaped off the couch at the sound of an unknown voice. "Calm down, Duo. Serenity, do you recognize me?" Something in that voice pleaded with Usagi to remember it, and it pulled at something within her mind. Unable to resist its call she turned to look into a woman's blue eyes. Black hair cascaded down her back in huge waves, and on her forehead was the symbol of the moon. A feel of familiarity washed over Usagi.
"Luna-mama? You were always there when mother couldn't be. However, I didn't ever have a mother. She died in childbirth." She groaned when memories of both lives collided with each other.
"It'll be fine, Usagi-hime. I'll take the pain away by giving you back your full memories and therefore the ability to control your powers." Luna, the new human Luna, kneeled in front of the Princess who clutched her head as if afraid that it would explode if she let go. Luna brought Usagi's forehead forward to lean against her own and then the room around them disappeared.
"Where are we?" A confused Usagi stood in the middle of the black expanse with Luna.
"We are in the void of your memories. I am here to fill them slowly, so that you can deal with them. This will only take moments in the real world. Princess Usagi, you began life in the castle behind you."
A large castle now loomed behind Usagi as she turned around, letting all the details sink in. A great lake was in front and everything was so pretty and perfect. "The sea of serenity. mother saw that lake as she was having me, and decided it would be my name. When I was born, an easy birth, it was said that I didn't cry, but laugh. It was said that the entire kingdom heard my laugh, and that it brought joy to them."
"It was not just a rumor, Usagi. Your voice resonated through the Crystal Palace, and the palace transmitted to the outside. As your Godmother, I was permitted to attend the birth. You lived life with your older brother, Duo. He was the trouble-maker of the family, but also the warrior. He was trained the Lunarian Martial Arts and weapons. On his sixteenth birthday."
"I gave him a sword that Haruka had made me for him. No not a sword, a scythe. Who is Haruka?" Usagi pouted at the thought of using a name for someone she did not know.
"Haruka is one of your guardians. You have your inner council that constantly guard you called the Inner Senshi. It is composed of the Sailors of Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. They are your best friends. Similar to the role you took for Relena. You must have taken it because it was familiar to you. "Next are the Outer Senshi, two senshi are being left out because they're special. The Outer Senshi are the guardians of the solar system. They make sure that nothing makes it past them to threaten you, then the Inner Senshi are the secondary line of defense. However, the Outer Senshi are also very protective of you and are good friends. They consist of Uranus and Neptune, they're lovers. Two of the other Outer Senshi have special duties. Saturn is the Sailor of Destruction. If she uses her power, then the world is gone. However, under your gentle influence, she is a sweet and charming child. She is currently in the care of her foster parents, Uranus and Neptune.
"Finally, there is Sailor Pluto. She is the Guardian of Time, and as such, she rarely leaves the Gates of Time unguarded. She is very old and wise. If she suggests something, then it is good to listen. All of your guardians love you very much Hime, and soon they will come once again to guard you."
Usagi has laid in the grass and stared at the earth during this explanation. "So, I was never really from the Earth."
Luna smiled and sat next to Usagi. "Yes, you did, but there is more to tell you here before that. On your sixteenth birthday, while you were having a party, a great evil entered the solar system and attacked."
*Luna tells story of series, which is much too long to tell in a fanfic. *grin**
Luna stares into Usagi's eyes in the once again black expanse of her mind. "This last time we all prayed to the crystal that you would be spared the fight. Artemis, Diana, and myself have taken our places among the Senshi as warriors. Yet, you recognize the danger in this world, and struggled to awaken. We wanted you to have a normal life." Tears formed in Luna's eyes, and threatened to escape. Usagi slowly moved forward and wrapped her arms around Luna's waist.
"Thank you, Luna. More than anything I have always loved all of you, and while your wish was pure. I am Kishimojin, the angel of life, of childbirth. It is my duty to protect those lives in this world. Everyone shines with a special light, and that light must never die, and if it does then the world dies. When the world dies, so do I. So, when the Imperial Crystal broke destiny, it needed someone to take my place in destiny as fighter for the moon, and it chose you and your family. Therefore, explaining your human form. Also, my destined marriage was broken, which is why a new Earth Prince must be chosen. It is also the reason the world is dying. While Relena may be a good ruler, she has not spiritual attachment to the world and cannot help it. There is much to do now that I am awakened. And Luna, I've missed you all so much."
"We've missed you, too, Hime." Luna let her tears flow freely. Luna's and Usagi's hair mixed together in an imaginary wind.
"Shut up with the Hime stuff. You know I hate that Luna." Usagi grinned into the hug.
"Of course, Hime." Luna let a soft laugh escape through her tears.

Meanwhile, back in reality. Usagi hovered above the floor in her princess gown. Luna was bowed down in front of her, and Duo just stared with fascination. "Setsuna, did I look like that when I found out?"
Setsuna grinned, "No, you looked sillier. You have an attachment to a braid that you didn't have then. At least, the uniform makes you look more manly."
"Setsuna!" He grinned, "I didn't think you had it in you to bug me like that. Good work."
"I've always had a certain fondness for you, Shinigami. After all, how many darling little boys would come to the Time Gates and talk to me." She reached over and uncharacteristically ruffled his hair.
"Aww, Sets." Duo blushed at being treated like a kid again, although he'd never been allowed to be a kid in this life. Still smiling, his eyes turned serious. "So you say that the Sailor Powers came in the form of Gundams this time. Only their powers the ignition key. Interesting. The guys aren't going to believe this."
"Believe what?" A soft masculine voice that caused Duo's eyes to widen in panic. Duo fell face first as he tried desperately to make it to the door before Quatre opened it fully.
"Sets, help me." He struggled to his feet and made it to the door just as it opened.
"I'm sorry, Duo. You know I can't." Setsuna could only watch as several things happened at once. Duo was pushed to the side, Quatre stared in shock at Usagi and this new woman, and Usagi and Luna began to awaken.
Setsuna walked over to Duo and helped him to his feet, and let Luna and Usagi deal with Quatre. Usagi was lowered to the floor and slowly turn around. Luna moved to stand behind her. Quatre's voice was reverent, "Princess Serenity." Usagi blinked and looked back to Luna who shrugged.
"How did you know?" Quatre smiled and blushed.
"I was with Relena and she had mentioned that she had seen something on your forehead. I remember an old legend from history class about the Lady of Light. She lived on the moon and brought peace to the entire galaxy. Her name was Serenity, named after her mother and the Sea of Serenity on the moon. One day the moon was attacked and after a terrible battle, the light was extinguished. It was said to rise again in a thousand years. The messiah of light returned as promised and brought peace once again. She faded out, but another prophecy was left, that she would return at humanity's darkest time to bring it back to life. It is regarded as fiction, but still worthy of mention." Quatre seemed to be speaking from rote, because the shocked, fascinated look never left his eyes.
"I am who I am, Quatre. I am a girl who is capable of fear, pain, and sorrow." She stepped towards him, judging his reaction. "I know love and friendship." She was within arms length and he didn't show any signs of moving. "I play and laugh and smile. I am human, born in a human world, but my history is what makes me special. Living in this world only makes it that much more special to me, Quatre. I am still the same girl, and I am still your friend." Usagi reached out and put one hand on Quatre's arm.
Quatre's eyes finally focused on her and he smiled gently. "Of course, Usagi, you're always my friend." He reached up and clasped her hand.
"Hey, Quatre."
"Yes, Duo?"
"What were you doing in Relena's room?"
"I was just talking. wait a sec, I never said I was in her room!"
"You did now."
"None of your business."
"Quatre's got a crush, Quatre's got a crush."
"DUO!!!!"
A soft laugh chimed through Quatre's mansion causing everyone to pause and smile.
