Okay, I've been really busy so I'm sorry you had to wait but I'm not going to let my grades seriously suffer to avoid people getting antsy about my chapters. And I do this for fun, not for pay so I don't have to explain myself to… errr… sorry, I'm in a bad mood. Reviews will definitely make me feel better though. So read and review.
AND THANK YOU TO GIRL-CHAMA!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT STORY FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF!! THANK YOU!!

Heero's arm found its way around Lita's waist as Quatre talked and tightened softly when the blond mentioned going to the pacifist school. He may have to protect the girl, but that didn't mean he couldn't imagine killing her. At least he had a shield now, in the form of his incredible girlfriend. He furrowed his brows for a moment. It seemed like there was something he should be remembering about Lita. Something she'd told him. He caught the look that passed between her and the other three girls in the room after Quatre had stopped talking and narrowed his eyes. There was definitely something he was missing here. But he felt like he should know… that he did know. Even if he couldn't remember what it was, he knew something was off. His eyes moved around the hallway. The hallway. How the hell did they all get in the hallway? Serenity had come running into the library where they had all been seated trying to find… what had they been trying to find? He abruptly let go of Lita's waist and walked towards the library door. His computer was open, but nothing was on the screen. He figured it would be a simple matter to do a backtrack on his hard drive to discover what had last been on that screen. He turned slightly and grunted when Lita put a hand on his shoulder and asked him what was wrong. There was a feeling in his stomach that told him something was wrong, off, but that he wasn't going to get any answers from his girlfriend.

Lita tried to hide her surprise when Heero took his arm away from her waist and walked to the doorway of the library. His eyes had narrowed before he'd left and he'd looked-adorably-confused. She shot a look at the other girls. It seemed to her like he hadn't quite forgotten everything, or knew that he was forgetting something. She gave an internal groan. Pluto had forgotten one small detail when she'd erased the boy's memories. These were not just five boys. Though Lita didn't know it, they were the five deadliest boys in this universe, they were the gundam pilots, trained soldiers. What she did know was that the "perfect soldier" wouldn't take well to having blank spots in his mind. She walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Heero, you okay?"
"Hn." He flicked a look at Lita before going to collect his computer. "I have some work to do. Later." He bent his head to give her a kiss before heading up the stairs, motioning for the pilots to follow him. Duo looked at his sister before following the Japanese boy.
"You know, Trio, it's still really weird to see him acting human. But I'm glad you're the reason." Quatre gave a look to his sisters that promised they would be having a conversation about their… coincidental return while Wufei lowered his head and muttered something about more weak onnas. Trowa just looked at them all before heading up the stairs.
Serenity walked towards the kitchen and the others followed her. After grabbing some sodas and a few bags of chips, Serenity headed up the back stairs, stopping at a room towards the end of the hall. Opening the door, she motioned everyone in and closed the door behind her. All of the girls made their way to various chairs around the room and Serenity settled on the bed.
"Mako-chan, you want to go first?" Serenity's soft voice floated across the room to the brunette. Everyone's eyes landed on the tall girl as she lifted her tear filled eyes. Before anyone could move, she jumped up and tackled the blond on the bed. Sobs soon racked her body as she wrapped her arms around her friend and cried. "Mako-chan," Serenity whispered. "Oh, Mako-chan."
"I thought you were dead. I kept seeing it in my head, I kept seeing… Oh god, how did you live? Why did you let me think you were dead? How could you let me think-" she took a huge breath and moved back some.
"Mako, I thought I was going to die. There was no reason for me to think otherwise. You were so near death because of blood loss and there wasn't enough time to get you to the hospital. I started to give you energy and then it was like I couldn't stop. I knew somewhere deep inside that it wasn't enough to kill me but then it felt like when I had been completely drained. I thought it was because of I didn't have much energy left. I hadn't been sleeping well. So I told you whatever came to mind. And when I woke up I was in another one of the Winner mansions. I slept for three days before I got up enough energy to even leave my room. I spent all the time I had gathering information on what had happened since I left here ten years ago. I never knew you were here too-and I didn't know that you were even here. Otherwise I would have come to you or something. My communicator was gone so I couldn't contact Pluto to have her tell you all I was alive. I'm sorry for every moment you were in pain. I think there's something more here. But I want to hear all of your stories first." Lita sat back on the bed and made herself comfortable leaning on the headboard while Serenity did the same. Haruka and Michiru joined them on the bed, facing the two other senshi.
"I… I guess I should start at the beginning," Lita said, taking a breath and refusing to be embarrassed about her crying jag. "My real name, well the name that I had answered to before Kino Makoto was Lita Trio. Duo Maxwell was the braided boy that you saw downstairs. He's my brother, younger, by a few years. I was taken to the past, I thought it was a different dimension, but I guess it was just the past, ten years ago." Lita told them of how she had met Pluto and was taken to her destiny. "After you disappeared, the rest of the inner senshi appeared. They blamed me for your death. No, that isn't right." Lita shook her head. "They felt guilty I think, now that I'm thinking without anger, and they lashed out at me. We… exchanged words. They kicked me out of the group, and I told them that it was their fault." She smiled weakly. "I believe I said that I hoped you had pity on their worthless souls. A bit harsh. We should have banded together, not torn each other apart. I know Minako's sorry cause she called here and left a message." She then told all of the senshi what had happed from the moment she left her apartment until the time she got shot.
"Mako-chan, you move fast. Heero's cute." Serenity giggled and winked before turning serious again. "Okay, you next Haruka."
"For Mako's benefit I'm going to start from the very beginning. I am the twenty seventh daughter of the Winner family. I left the house when I was ten years old to live in another mansion because me and father didn't get along too well. Quatre visited me often as well as my favorite little sister, Serenity, the twenty eighth daughter of the Winner family. I got a call from Quatre one night telling me that father had died. I hung up the link when a woman in a strange fuku walked out of a portal and told me that my destiny lay elsewhere. For a split second I remembered everything about the Silver Millennium and so I walked through the portal with her. Though she gave you a knew past, she TOLD you your past for that time. She wiped my memory of this time and imputed a brand new past. She practically programmed me." Haruka scowled for a bit. "Remember that black eye she had a while ago?" The rest of the senshi nodded while Michiru hid a smile behind her hand. "Yeah, that was when she gave my back my memory." Everyone was silent for a minute before giggling. "I didn't expect to see Serenity there and I guess it would have ruined things if I had known who she was. Anyway, she caught us on our way back from out tour. She told us that we were needed here, that part of our destiny lay in my past that was our future. So we came. I wasn't expecting to see you."
"Then what the hell was the punch for?" Lita snapped.
"I was angry that you were here and that you didn't tell me that you came from here."
"You didn't tell me you were from the future either," Lita pointed out.
"That's besides the point."
"Wait a minute," Lita narrowed her eyes, "Michiru, what did you mean by your comment. You asked me why I felt the need to run so far so fast." Everyone looked at the aqua haired senshi.
"I knew. I knew you thought that Serenity was dead. I saw it in my mirror. I tried to contact you and I couldn't find you. I called the other senshi and they said they didn't know, that you ran away. That's all I meant by the comment."
"You knew?!" Haruka screeched.
"I think that's the first time I've heard you screech, love. Yes, I knew. But I was also visited by Pluto who told me to keep it to myself."
"I feel like Pluto was manipulating the lot of us," Lita mumbled.
"Maybe she was," Serenity said softly. "But for good reasons. Okay, my turn. I didn't recognize Haruka because she used to have long hair and wore padded bras because of our status." When Lita and Michiru looked at her she sighed. "Don't ask. I left before I was told that father was dead. But Pluto had set it up so that I could still talk to Quatre. I knew what was going on here. I was told by Pluto that I had to act a little bit ditzy because otherwise, she thought it would trigger something in the other senshi's memories about me being the Princess." Serenity looked thoughtful for a moment. "That doesn't make any sense. I think that Pluto knew that things that would go down better if I acted the way I did. I think… I think that it has to do something with what's going to happen in the future. What do you know about the Gundam pilots as a group?"
"Hold up." Lita held up a hand with a puzzled expression on her face. "Why are we talking about the Gundam pilots?" A slow understanding started to cover her expression. "Oh no. You are not telling me that my brother and my boyfriend are the Gundam pilots. You can't be telling me that you innocent little brother is a-shit!" Lita swore. "Okay, I can believe it. I can even put the pieces together and come to the conclusion, but… that means that they are here to protect Relena, probably."
"But the question is: against what?" Haruka questioned.
"And that's what we're going to have to find out. But back to Pluto for a second." Serenity looked seriously at her senshi and friends. "If I hadn't acted the way that I had, then none of this wouldn't have happened. And then you and the other senshi wouldn't have had the fight and you wouldn't have come back here and made friends with your brother and his friends."
"Very good, Serenity." Pluto materialized in the room without the aid of a portal. Lita glared at her and then sighed.
"I suppose that if I hit you it won't do any good so I'm not going to."
"Very good choice," Pluto murmured remembering all too well the feeling of Haruka's fist in her face. It wasn't a feeling she wanted to repeat and she had a feeling Lita hit just as hard. Detransforming, she took a seat between Haruka and Lita on the bed. "I believe you had some questions for me."
"Crystal Tokyo wasn't our future, is it?" Serenity asked, her voice quiet, but unjudging.
"It was a possible future. But Crystal Tokyo does not, for all it's peacefulness and beauty, have a very bright future of it's own. 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'. You, Serenity did not follow this rule. However, in her later years, after Chibi-Usa's soul mate has been killed by outside forces, the rule of Tokyo will no longer be enough. And outside force killed her love and she will want to rule everything." Setsuna gave a heavy sigh for the little girl that she had come to know before changing the future. "The best chance for everyone is in your birth time."
"But it's not going to come easy, is it?" Lita asked softly. "There's no rest for those who fight for peace."
"Would you be happy as just another civilian?" Michiru asked. "Would any of us?"
"No. I just… It was different for you guys, I guess, but I never had to worry about my family finding out-or getting hurt because of my duties as a senshi. To me my brother was as good as dead. So I fought without fear in my life. Because if I died, I would have gone down doing what I believed in and those who would miss me would know that. But now…"
"You have your boyfriend and brother to worry about." Haruka nodded. "I understand."
"Ironic, isn't it," Serinity whispered. "That we must always fight for peace."
"But it has to be done," Setsuna answered.
"None of us could ever simply sit by and watch the future unfold without doing anything." Michiru murmured. "Even without senshi powers I imagine that each one of us would find a way to fight for peace whatever the century."
"True." All in the room nodded.
"About the other senshi…" Lita started.
"They will come in their own time. None of them were born here." The twinkle in Setsuna's eye set the off.
"You've done something, haven't you?" Serenity asked.
"Maybe. Did any of you ever watch Inuyasha?"
"The show about the half demon- a youkai- who fell in love with the shrine maiden who died and then her… "descendant"- although not exactly- came back and they fell in love." Serenity paused for a breath. "That one?"
"Yes, that one," Setsuna smiled. "Only this time the shrine maiden's past version is the one who lived and came-comes to the future."
"Setsuna," Haruka growled, "have you been playing with Rei's life?"
"Nothing that won't make her completely happy in the end. Now, talk about the last youma, beware of the Moon Guard and protect innocents-no matter how annoying." And with a flash, Setsuna was gone.
