The Mysterious Miko




Qu-Dong Palace

Hongo Yui looked out the window into the vastness that was Qu-Dong. Her short blonde hair lay gently in front of her teal eyes. A heavy sigh worked its way out of her as Nakago entered the room.

"Mistress, is something the matter?" he asked. Yui turned her attention to him.

"Iie, just thinking is all." Nakago nodded and handed a goblet to her. She accepted and sipped at it. Her gaze turned back to the outside. Downing the rest of her drink, Yui's thoughts turned towards home. Her mother and father must be worried about her. A smirk worked its way to her face.

'As if...They could care less. Just like Miaka.' She pulled her knees up towards her chest. A heaviness grew in her heart.

'I wish...I wish I had someone who cared about me...who would stand by my side forever...' Yui rested her head on her knees. A single tear rolling down her cheek.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~The Gates of Time~

Her garnet orb eyes stared into a mirror that watched over the world of the Four Gods. She watched the tear roll down Yui's face and she knew how to help the girl.

'Perhaps...Serenity-hime may help her.' She lifted her Time Staff and chanted a few words. In a flash Sailor Pluto had disappeared.

~Tokyo, Japan~

Tsukino Usagi picked up a strand of hair and let it drop with a sigh. The process of becoming Neo-Queen Serenity has started earlier than expected. Another sigh escaped her. She leaned back and stared at the blue sky, her gaze traveling to the couple next to her. Her heart cringed at the sight, but she had no one else to blame but herself.

Chiba Mamoru and Hino Rei sat side by side holding hands and kissing each other every once in a while. Two years ago, they had gotten together at the persistence of Usagi. Giggling Rei placed Mamoru's hand on her abdomen. Mamoru grinned and leaned in to kiss her. The couple was interrupted as Sailor Pluto appeared in the middle of the group. Everyone stood up and looked at Guardian of Time.

"Ohayo minna-san, Serenity-hime." she said in her calm voice.

"Ohayo Pluto-chan!" said the group. Everyone took a seat and waited for Pluto to begin. The senshi turned towards Usagi.

"Daijabou ka Puu-chan?" asked Usagi.

"Hai, demo I need you to come with me for a few moments." said Pluto, her eyes roaming over the former group of senshi. To her right were Haruka and Michiru with an eleven year-old Hotaru. And to her left, sat Ami with her book, Makoto and Minako gossiping as always, and Mamoru and Rei sitting together.

"Alright, let's go" said Usagi as she stood up and brushed off the leaves and dirt. Pluto took her hand and both teleported to the Time Gates.

Ami looked up from her book, her glasses tipping slightly off the bridge of her small nose.

"Anno...where's Usagi?" she asked. The group looked at her with huge sweatdrops.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~Time Gates~

"What did you want to see me for?" Usagi said while looking at all the full-length mirrors that looked into the other dimensions.

Sailor Pluto stopped at a multi-colored mirror and pointed to it. Usagi looked in seeing a young female silently weeping. Her heart broke to see someone in so much pain.

"Her name is Hongo Yui and she is the Seriyu no Miko of this world. Three months ago she was transported from her world and into the Universe of the Four Gods." Pluto continued to fill Usagi in about Yui and her past.

"What can I do for her?" she asked, turning to look at the Time Guardian.

"Be her friend...that's what she needs the most. " Usagi looked again at Yui's image in the mirror.

"Alright," she said determination in her eyes. "I'll do it!" Pluto smiled. She knew that her hime would do it.

'Maybe there, she may find someone to love.' a small smile touched her lips. Waving her staff the mirror began to grow, extending it enough for Usagi to walk through.

"Step inside and you shall be transported to her immediately." Usagi nodded and took a step forward. Falling into a pit of darkness with her silver hair trailing behind her. Pluto winced as Usagi let out a string of curses.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~Qu-Dong Palace~

Her head snapped up as a scream filled the room. Nakago and palace guards came rushing into Yui's room. In the middle of the room lay a figure covered in something silver. A moan came from the figure.

"Damn Pluto..." Yui slowly walked towards the figure and kneeled down to its level. She gasped as a pair of cerulean eyes looked into her teal ones.

Nakago stared at the figure. Never in his life had he seen anything so beautiful in his life.

Usagi pushed her hair out of her face and looked around the room. Armed guards lined the room and a blonde haired blue eyed soldier stared at her.

"Ahehe...gomen nasai. Demo, I'm looking for a Yui Hongo?" Yui looked at the figure.

"Hai, I'm Yui. How may I help you?" she asked. Usagi stood up and extended her hand at Yui. She accepted it and Usagi helped her up.

"Watashi wa Tsukino Usagi." said the perky silver haired girl. A small smile tugged at Yui's lips.

"Konnichiwa Tsukino-san. Watashi wa Hongo Yui." Yui looked over the girl. She reminded her so much Miaka. Usagi smiled at Yui. Suddenly as if noticing the others Yui began to introduce them.

"Gomen Tsukino-san! To my left are the Palace guards and to the right of them is General Nakago." Usagi bowed to each and everyone of them. Nakago tipped his head a bit. He continued to stare at Usagi, seemingly fascinated by her silver hair.

"Please, call me Usagi or Usa. I hate formalities. They make me feel old," said Usagi while making faces. Yui giggled and grabbed Usagi's hand.

"Come! I want to show you Qu-Dong. That is," Yui glanced from Usagi to the floor, "if you want to stay for a while." Yui said a tremor of hope in her voice. Usagi grinned and nodded.

"I would love to stay! I mean...I have no where else to go." Again Yui laughed. The heaviness in her heart slowly began to lessen now that she had someone to talk to. Yui raced out of the palace with Usagi trailing behind her. As she ran she sent a silent thanks to Seriyu.

'Arigatou Seriyu. For giving me a friend...' Yui turned her face towards the sky and a full-blown smile broke onto her face. For once, she would live for herself. Not for her parents, not for Miaka and not for Qu- Dong.
