Chapter 4
A New Sailor Senshi?! The Appearance of Sailor Sun

The hot afternoon sun has just started rising, and the temperature was getting to be unbearable. Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten were still following Hikari who had not yet reached her destination. It had been at least an hour o walking, hiding and staying quiet for the boys, and they were growing quite tired. Seiya noticed that they were beginning to enter the forest, and that they were very far away from where the school was.

"I can't believe she walks this far to school everyday," Yaten whispered. Taiki nodded and then abruptly stopped in his tracks. Seiya and Yaten gave him a strange look then understood why he stopped. Hikari had come to a small cottage, and it looked big enough for only one person. It was constructed of wood and small stones around a single window on the front right side. Under the window were pink, red and orange blossoms with some decorative grass. After a few moments, Hikari went inside and shut the door. Taiki noticed that it didn't shut all the way however, and blew slightly open. He looked around at all the trees, then starting waving his hand downward, to show that they needed to get down and hide.

"I wonder if we really should be doing this..." Seiya whispered.

"We can't be too careful; we have to stay on guard for anything suspicious... at least, that's what our princess said," Yaten replied, not taking his eyes off the window. Hikari was moving around inside, but no one could see her clearly because of the window and the door. Suddenly she stopped and closed her eyes. Seiya then opened his mouth wide at what happened next. Beautiful full and elaborate notes were coming from Hikari's mouth. She was singing, and it seemed to make Seiya's heart melt. Yaten and Taiki sat agape as well.

"Have you ever heard a voice like that?" Seiya asked softly, still in awe of the whole thing. The others shook their heads no and continued to listen to her. The only thing that seemed wrong was that it was in some bizarre language that wasn't understandable. It sounded so real to them though, and they all became relaxed within moments of hearing her. While in his trance, Seiya stood up slowly, and stood with his eyes open, but he was lost in the music. Hikari opened her eyes to get a direct view of Seiya staring at her. She stopped singing dead in her tracks and then slammed her window shut. The sound snapped Seiya out of his daze, and he immediately threw himself to the ground.

"Damn, she saw me!" He cursed at himself for being so stupid. Hikari flew the door open and ran outside only a few feet away from the bushes the boys were hiding in. Her breathing increased rapidly and her eyes started to bug out and get real intense.

"Who's there..." she said in a haunting and demanding voice. The three former idols didn't dare say anything, and Yaten even held his breathe for a moment. Hikari stumbled backwards and she put her hands on either side of her head.

"I said who's there?!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Taiki jumped at the loudness of her voice, but continued to watch her intensely. Hikari began frantically shaking her head back and forth, breathing and exhaling deeply.

"No one can hear me, no one can hear me..." she repeated to herself over and over, getting louder each time. She finally screamed out as loud as she could.

"No one must hear me!!" she wailed, and a sudden loud bang that sounded like a cannon going off was heard, causing the boys to cover their ears and shut their eyes. From the loud bang came a large golden light. It soon engulfed Hikari who was still screaming at the top of her voice. It immediately spread to the rest of the forest, causing the trees to glow a golden color. Taiki then jumped down, pulling Seiya and Yaten with him who was standing just as an incredibly forceful wind rushed past them. Hikari's screams were covered up, and soon the light faded away. Seiya, whose hands were covering his head tightly, opened his eyes slowly. He blinked a few times before standing up, as did Yaten and Taiki. As they stood there, they're eyes widened and they went into shock, as they saw a sailor senshi hovering in front of them.

Taiki, Yaten and Seiya couldn't believe what they were seeing. "Sailor Senshi..." Yaten said slowly, still in awe. The boys stood up carefully and took a step towards her. There was no doubt in their minds that this was the quiet girl Hikari. Her fuku took the likeness of the eternal and super Sailor Senshi, with only a few slight differences. Her sailor collar was red, and the main body of the fuku was white. There were two waist bands, one white, and one yellow with a red jewel with spikes around it in the center. Her skirt was white as well, with yellow, orange and red stripes at the bottom. Her sleeves were round maroon balls with three yellow shoulder pads. Her gloves went all the way to her upper arm, and they had two yellow arm bands. A large transparent yellow bow rest on the back of her fuku with sheared tails, and her boots were thigh high v- shaped maroon colored, with a white stripe across the top. She wore a golden tiara with a red jewel and golden spikes.

Yamino Hikari was a sailor senshi, but it couldn't be told what planet she represented, if a planet at all. "Who is she? I didn't think there were any more senshi after Galaxia was healed..." Seiya trailed off.

"It can't be that, she doesn't look to have anything to do with Galaxia, her outfit is too unique," Yaten replied. Hikari bobbed up and down very slowly in mid air, her head semi rolling around, and she was clearly unconscious. Suddenly, her image flickered and started to fade away.

"Hold on!" Taiki said walking towards her quickly. Seconds before he reached her, she disappeared. Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki stood in the forest dumbfounded. Out of the silence Yaten then whispered, "This must be the reason why were here.

Usagi walked quickly towards Mamoru's apartment just as it was getting dark. She was supposed to meet the inner and outer senshi at Rei's temple a half an hour ago. She rang the doorbell when she arrived and waited rather impatiently, tapping her foot every so often. After what seemed like forever, he answered the door.

"Come on, were late," she said as she grabbed his arm and began dragging him out the door. "Where are we going?" He asked feeling very confused. "We were supposed to be at Rei's a half hour ago, I'll explain when we get there," she said as she continued to drag him.

"Where is she?" Rei asked getting very annoyed. Everyone else was waiting outside for their leader to arrive. "It's pleasant outside, I don't mind waiting," a girl with wavy turquoise hair said softly. A tall older looking woman stepped forward; she had long thick emerald green hair with a bun resting on the top of her head. "I trust she is on her way, she must be getting Mamoru-san," she said. No sooner had she finished did Usagi run up clutching Mamoru's arm.

"Gomen Nasai!!" she said breathing hard. Mamoru was dizzy from all the running and holding his head. "No need to be sorry koneko-chan." A woman with short light brown hair said. Usagi just blushed and looked down at her feet.

"We need to discuss the matter at hand, but first, there is someone who wants to see you princess," a little black haired girl said. "Show her Setsuna." The green haired woman stepped aside, and into view came a small girl with pink hair and large pigtails.

"Hello Usagi!" she said with a smile. Usagi's eyes went wide and she looked as if she were about to cry. "Chibi-Usa..." she said softly. The pink haired girl smiled, "You always were a crybaby. Mommy thought it would be best for me to come and help you incase you needed it. I brought Diana with me too." At that moment a small purple cat popped up from behind her head. She was a mere kitten the last time she was on earth.

"Alright everyone, we need to discuss the events that have been taking place over the past few days," Ami said. "Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, and Hotaru, we are very concerned with the fact that the Sailor Star Lights have come back." Haruka's eyes popped open suddenly. "When did they arrive?" she asked. "A couple of days ago, they enrolled in our school for a second time." Ami replied. The outer senshi didn't say anything. Haruka just crossed her arms and looked to the ground. Mamoru spoke up after the moment of silence, "We should be prepared then. After what happened lat time with Galaxia we can't take any chances." His voice was stern and he clutched Usagi's hand without realizing it. The others nodded their heads in agreement.

"We have to ask them right away what they're doing back here. Look what happened last time when they cam here." Haruka said in a harsh tone. Michiru noticed her tension right away and walked over next to her. "We will do so in a calm and organized fashion. We can not jump to conclusions without asking them directly," she said calmly. "They said they didn't know why they were here. All they said was that a sailor senshi's job is never truly done," Usagi chimed in. She then quickly smiled and said, "Let's just go on with out lives until we know what is wrong."
