Ch. 5: The Heart of the Stars? Kathryn makes a perilous discovery!
"Very well done, Sandana! Very well done! But we have a problem: We don't know
which other three hold the key to our revival! We don't know who have the other three
keys!" Antoinette hissed.
"But Mistress!" Sandana began to protest. "How are we to even figure out who has the
other keys?"
Uragiru stood silently in the shadows, listening to the conversation, but not helping at all.
"You dare speak back to me, Sandana!?!" Antoinette yelled.
Sandana pouted. "Mistress, it was only a question, and one well thought of to add onto
that! How are we going to find the other key holders?"
"This is your last chance, Sandana. If you don't bring me back the next key, the Key of
Creation, your loyalty to me will prove untrue and your life will prove non-existent!"
Antoinette growled. "Do I make myself clear?"
Sandana quickly bowed and took a step back. "Of course mistress, you make yourself
perfectly clear." She sent a glare back at Uragiru and then returned her gaze to Anoinette,
emotionless. "Mistress, if I may... May I begin on this quest you have given me?"
"I don't know why you're still standing in front of me! Go before I believe you unworthy
of this task and rid myself of you right now!" Antoinette snarled. "And you! Uragiru!
Don't just stand there!"
Uragiru tensed as Sandana disappeared. "Yes, Mistress.. What do you wish of me?"
"You ask yet you should know! My temper is breaking, Uragiru... You and Sandana are
testing my temper, and I am -not- in the mood for it!" Antoinette drummed her
fingernails on the arm of her throne. Uragiru stood tall, but it was apparent he was afraid.
"I want you to take Kiran and Kali to the training grounds and return them here after two
hours of training," Antoinette added, this time in a much calmer voice.
Uragiru nodded. "Yes, Mistress... But, if I may ask... Why send the twins to the training
grounds? You have Sandana doing your bidding."
"I have a special mission for them, now do as I said," Antoinette replied.
Two blonde girls appeared, one with green eyes and the other with blue eyes. The one
with green eyes was the older of the two, Kiran. She didn't have bangs and wore her
thigh length hair with a bun at the back top of her head and the rest in a braid. Kali was
the younger of the two and she had the blue eyes. Her blonde hair was shoulder length
and layered, though part of it was held back in a ponytail. They wore nearly identical
clothes, dresses made of black silk. Kiran's dress was knee length, though it was missing
a good portion from the right side up to her upper thigh. Kali's was two pieces, a turtle
necked halter top and then a black skirt to her ankles, with slits up both sides to her upper
thighs.
"Hello, Uragiru-san! You're not gonna disobey Mistress Antoinette, are you?" Kali
asked, her voice high-pitched and if not focused on, could be mistaken for a bird's song.
Uragiru found her voice an annoyance rather than beauty. "If you two girls will promise
to keep your button mouths shut, I possibly will. But if I have to listen to your screeching
voices the whole time, I'll gladly submit myself to any torture m'lady Antoinette has in
store for me."
--------
Kathryn could hear voices from the next room as she woke up. She pulled the covers that
were over her closer. Some voices were angry, some were sympathetic, and others were a
mix. She couldn't remember where she was, she even had trouble trying to figure out
who she was.
~Kathryn,~ A voice called to her in her head. She tensed and clutched the covers tightly.
~You have been granted the chance to fight the Mistress of Fire, take this oppurtunity and
join the senshi...~
"We don't have time to waste, why should we trust this girl? Itazura, you called her? She
could have brainwashed you, Princess Kakyuu! We don't know what is what anymore!"
Kathryn heard Rei's voice yell. A quieter voice replied, but it was so muffled that
Kathryn couldn't hear it. She stood from her spot, the blanket still wrapped over her, and
walked to the doorway.
Makoto's head shot up, she, Kakyuu, Seiya and Ami were the only ones facing the
doorway. Desperately the jovian tried to hush the others. "Sleep well, Miss Kathryn?"
She asked softly, after everyone had turned to look at her.
Kathryn nodded tentatively before stepping into the room. "What's going on?" She asked
quietly. "Why do I feel so empty? And who was Uragiru? He took something from my
body.... but who are you? And... who am I?"
Makoto glanced worriedly at Kakyuu before turning back to Kathryn. "I wish we could
tell you.... I believe only Princess Kakyuu can explain it all..."
Kakyuu stood from her spot and in what seemed like one swift movement, made her way
to Kathryn. She embraced the girl in a hug, causing her to drop the blanket. "My dear,"
She whispered. "These are the sailor senshi, ones that will help you... You are Kathryn
Kaiou... or Princess Itazura of Kinmoku and Neptune..." Kathryn began to speak, but
Kakyuu cut her off once more. "Uragiru was a Prince of Miranda, a moon of Uranus. He
was arrogant and spoiled. You hated him, but you also hated many others. He stole
nothing of terrific importance... Nothing we cannot replace."
Kathryn stared at her hands as the kinmokuan princess took a step back. "I was a horrible
person, wasn't I?"
"No dear," Kakyuu replied hastily. "You were just loud about your feelings..."
"Princess Kakyuu," Michiru whispered. "Is it normal for a victim to experience
amnesia?"
"It'll pass in a few hours," Kakyuu replied. "Yes, but it's only temporary amnesia."
--------
"A key of creation," Sandana muttered to herself as she walked the streets of Tokyo. "A
key of combat... A key of remedy...." She opened her purse and took out her cell phone.
"Uragiru, are you there?"
"What do you want now?" Came Uragiru's fuzzy response.
"Can you help me out at all with this key of creation?" Sandana asked angrily. She
paused and looked across the street before walking across it and towards a cafe.
"No... But I can tell you that Kiran and Kali are being trained, for reasons that Mistress
Antoinette won't explain," Uragiru replied. There was a tone of worry in his voice. "I had
to bring them to the training center today..."
"You keep an eye on yourself, okay? I would expect that they're to replace us. If you find
anything useful, call me," Sandana replied and she hung up before Uragiru could reply.
She reached into her purse, placed the cell phone back and took out a mini computer. She
entered the cafe and took a spot at the table furthest from the door. After ordering some
tea, she typed in some characters on the computer and then directed it towards the door
of the cafe. "Some of the latest tracking programs," She muttered to herself. "This ought
to show me the color and inscription on each crystal key..."
--------
"Jab. Uppercut. Kick. Kick. Roundhouse," Kali repeated for the fifth time, and continued
to repeat it.
Kiran followed her instructions as she practiced with the practice dummy. She stopped
and drank some water from her water bottle. "Are we almost ready?"
"We still need to practice our magic..." Kali muttered as she provided a towel for her
twin.
Kiran took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face and shoulders. "That can wait
until later. Our magic is strong enough, let us go do Lady Antoinette's bidding."
Kali nodded and put the towel away before she and her sister teleported to Earth in a
swirl of fire and water.
------------
Sandana sighed angrily and finished off her tea. She reluctatnyl paid the lady and left the
cafe in a rush. She pushed past one man and two ladies, who were making their way into
the shop. Pausing, she looked over her shoulder and watched the pink haired girl enter
through the door that the man was holding open. "The girl we took the crystal key from...
Why is she up and about?" She whispered. She pulled her coat on and followed the group
inside. As she sat down and ordered a chai, she heard a beep coming from her purse.
"The key of creation?" She whispered as she stared at the mini computer screen.
"Drink this, dear," Kakyuu whispered to Kathryn as she pushed a cup of steaming green
tea towards her. "It'll help bring your memories back... This is a magical amnesia, not
normal amnesia."
Kathryn nodded slightly and sipped the tea, her eyes had a glazed sort of look.
"Taiki... Are you thirsty at all?" Kakyuu asked as she sipped on her tea.
"No, princess, but thank you. I came along to keep watch over Miss Kaiou..." Taiki
replied softly.
"Do you still not believe my defense of my niece? I suppose you can only trust what you
believe, but I promise that I am not telling a lie. Thank you for your concern, however,"
Kakyuu said firmly, yet softly.
"I'm sorry, princess... I'm not too sure exactly what to trust anymore... But I do believe
this girl is special..." Taiki trailed off as a woman began to walk up towards them.
"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting... But I went to the Three Lights concert last night and I was
wondering-" The woman began.
"Yes, I'd be glad to give you an auto-" Taiki was cut off by the woman.
"Kathryn Kaiou? Is it really her? Oh my gosh! Can I have your autograph, please? I'm
Genivieve Sandana... It's such a pleasure!" Sandana squealed.
Kathryn nodded numbly and took a picture from her purse, smiling as best she could. She
signed the picture and handed it to the girl, who was now in hysterics. "There you go, it's
a pleasure."
Sandana smiled and gingerly placed the picture in her purse. She was about to say
something else when two girls walked into the cafe. The whole place quieted down.
Both were blonde and wearing sunglasses. The one with the longer hair had hers in a low
ponytail and the other had her hair down. They were aware that nearly every pair of eyes
in the cafe were on them, but they didn't mind. They looked around for a moment, the
one with the ponytail paused to smooth out her flared jeans and black top. Then their
eyes fell on the table where Sandana stood, with three others. They walked over to the
table with a sense of dignity and a powerful look to them. Everyone went back to their
coffee and tea, except Sandana, Kathryn, Kakyuu and Taiki.
"Sandana," The one with the shorter hair began. "We need to speak with you."
Sandana glanced at Kathryn and Taiki, then back at the two girls. "Well, surely you can
speak with me here, right?"
"Surely not. We have a message for you and these three may not hear... Please, follow
us," The one with the ponytail said.
"Kiran," Sandana began, addressing the one with the long hair. She glanced at the other.
"Kali... I would first wish to know why you must speak with me privtately, I'm currently
talking with a few people."
"You can finish that later... Follow us," Kiran hissed, her temper beginning to fade. She
lead the way out of the shop, Sandana following her and Kali following Sandana.
"What is it you two?!" Sandana exclaimed after they had lead her into an alley. "I
almost-"
Kiran cut Sandana's exclamation off quickly. "We were sent to tell you that Mistress
Antoinette no longer requires your services."
Sandana frowned. "But one of those three people-"
Sandana was cut off again, but this time by Kali. "Did you not hear Kiran? Mistress
Antoinette has ordered us to rid you from her ranks."
As black fire formed in Kali's hand, Sandana tried her best to run away, but Kiran's
telepathy kept her in place.
"You don't understand! I found the next-AAAAGH!" Sandana yelled as the first ball of
black fire hit her right shoulder. "Just give me one last-" She let out another scream when
two balls of flame hit her stomach and left calf.
"You were worthless to Mistress Antoinette," Kali hissed as she sent two more balls of
flame at Sandana's right thigh and left arm.
"Kali," Kiran barked. "That's enough, our work here is done... Your flames will engulf
her body quickly..."
Kali nodded and teleported away in a swirl of black flames. Kiran let go of her mental
hold on Sandana, allowing her to slide to the ground weakly before she too teleported
away, a swirl of black water engulfed her.
Kathryn, Taiki and Kakyuu had now run out of the cafe, hearing the girl's screams.
Sandana wasn't in her human form anymore, now she was back in her little dress, but the
burns on her were still clear, and seemed to be spreading.
Kathryn stopped in her tracks. "She's the one... She's the one who attacked me at my
apartment," She muttered.
Sandana was moaning from the pain, every second the burns would creep farther over
her, her eyes stung with tears of hurt. The three watched on helplessly as only a few
minutes later she turned into a pile of sparkling, blue ashes. Soon those went away too.
Although the woman had tried to murder her, Kathryn wept softly. "No one deserves that
kind of death... Or treatment..."
"No one indeed, my niece... Do you remember things well now?" Kakyuu asked softly.
Kathryn stared blankly at her aunt and protector and nodded slightly. "I do, Auntie
Kakyuu..."
"Then may I tell you something? Show me your necklace, dear," Kakyuu instruced.
Kathryn stared at her for a moment then unclasped the aquamarine necklace from her
neck and handed it to her aunt. Kakyuu lead Kathryn and Taiki to the park nearby and sat
down on the edge of the fountain. "Take a look at this," She told Kathryn. She dipped the
necklace into the water and pulled it out.
Kathryn stared at it and then took it into her hands as Kakyuu handed it to her.
"Do you see anything?" Kakyuu questioned.
Kathryn brought it closer to her face and touched a finger to it. Her finger went through it
and she let out a gasp. "It turned into water?"
"It is the heart of the stars. A jewel that is nearly as strong as Sailor Moon's ginzuishu,
but I don't believe any power could surpass hers. This provides a connection between
you and the stars. The stars see everything, so when someone is being attacked, they'll
call out to you... Don't you dare let anyone else lay a finger on this stone, in the wrong
hands it could mean great destruction," Kakyuu lectured.
Kathryn nodded and slipped the necklace back on. "I understand."
"Very well done, Sandana! Very well done! But we have a problem: We don't know
which other three hold the key to our revival! We don't know who have the other three
keys!" Antoinette hissed.
"But Mistress!" Sandana began to protest. "How are we to even figure out who has the
