Before dawn the next morning, Usagi was dressed in a pair of pants
and a tank top. She slipped among the shadows and entered an empty room she
had found. : This is a perfect place for our training tonight. : Usagi
thought. She quickly stretched out the kinks from last night and picked up
the bag she had brought with her. She pulled out an ebony staff and two
blades wrapped in cloth. She unwrapped the cloth and hooked the blades to
the staff. Slowly she started through different exercises before working
up to a high paced workout. By the time she was done she hadn't even
broken a sweat. She noticed the time and then disassembled the staff. She
then threw bag over her shoulder and slipped into the shadows of the hall.
She reached the portrait of the Fat Lady without running into anyone else.
"Password?" the Fat Lady asked sleepily. "Butter beer." Usagi replied.
By the time the other three girls were up Usagi was headed down to the common room. She walked out and headed to the statue where she knew led to the headmaster's office. "Sherbet." Usagi said to the statue. It turned into a staircase in which she climbed up. She knocked on the door and when given permission she walked in. "Professor?" she asked. The old man looked up at her and smiled. "Ah, Usagi good morning. Can I help you with something?" He asked. She sat down in the chair and studied him for a moment. "You know how Shiko sent me here in order to follow my late master's request, right?" She asked first. He leaned back and stuffed his pipe. "Why, yes I did." He replied. "She told me I would find family here but I haven't found anyone, yet." She continued. "Ah, and you want to know if I know them. Well, I do." He stated and then watched her. All she did was lean slightly forward. "Your twin brother is Harry Potter." She sat back, stunned. The same Harry Potter that she was ordered to protect. Now her master's cryptic, dying words made sense when he told her that Harry Potter knew the secrets to her past. Shaking her head she stood up and thanked the professor before exiting the room.
Professor Snape was heading to the Great Hall for breakfast when Usagi came walking down the stairs looking like someone had smacked her in the face with a board. For some reason he wanted to comfort her and find out what was wrong. He tried to strangle those emotions, but they kept resurfacing. They nearly broke free when he saw Malfoy walk up to her and said; "Tomorrow's the dance ready to go?" She gave him a look that said please, but she said, "I can't wait." Professor Snape really needed to find a board to beat the emotions inside. Scowling he swept into the Great Hall ahead of them.
Haruka sat at the head table next to Michiru and looked for Usagi. She looked around for the hundredth time and shook her head. Michiru grinned and leaned over towards her lover. "Be patient she'll be here." Haruka glared at her and was about to speak when Usagi walked into the Hall with Draco Malfoy. Haruka's eyes burned with anger at Malfoy's back. "Haruka, calm down. The hime is no child anymore." Michiru admonished her. Haruka sighed. "I guess you're right."
Usagi looked around and sat down next to Mayvar. She helped herself to breakfast and started eating it. "So where were you this morning?" Hermione asked Usagi. "Oh I was just taking a quick jog around the Quidditch field. I like having my morning run." Usagi said smiling. Usagi looked up just in time to see a bolt of dark lighting rushing towards Harry Potter. Leaping nimbly up on to the table she shoved him out of the way; the lighting bolt just whistled harmlessly past them. They all looked up to see two huge scary looking monsters in the middle of the Hall. While everyone was staring at the monsters Usagi saw the four new students silently slip away and wondered. "A few seconds later four voices could be heard. "Stop right there youma. We are the Sailor Senshi and we will punish you!" Then five women in sailor suits appeared from the shadows. "Sailor Senshi." One of the monsters hissed. "Mars Flame Sniper!" The woman in the red yelled out. A fire arrow shot at the closest monster. It hissed in pain and launched a bunch of poisoned arrows at the Sailor Senshi. Usagi narrowed her eyes and melted into the shadows around her. She slipped out of the Great Hall and let her magic alter her clothing into the traditional uniform of the assassin's.
By the time she had returned the Sailor Senshi had destroyed the first monster and were now joined by the other three Senshi. Sailor Mars jumped out of the way of a poisoned needle and looked up as she sensed the presence of the Princess. "Looks like you could use some help." Came a dry voice from the shadows. The students, the monster and the Senshi looked to where the voice came from. Usagi stepped from the shadows disguised in her uniform. She wore black pants and a black turtleneck along with long gloves that reached to her sleeves. She had a black headband that confined her jet-black hair and a scarf that covered her mouth and nose. The only thing left showing was her eyes. A huge curved dagger hung from the sash around her waist and a double bladed staff was thrown over her shoulder. Jhavi watching from the Slytherin table looked proudly at his guardian. The monster recovered first and launched about twenty poisoned needles at the "ninja". Usagi simply smiled and vanished into the shadows. Everybody looked shocked, especially the monster. "I believe you're looking in the wrong place." A voice said. Everybody turned around to find the woman standing along the other wall. "Now it is my turn. Thousand Daggers!" She yelled out. Literally, thousands of daggers appeared out of nowhere and skewered the monster. The light in its eyes slowly died and he slumped to the floor. Usagi smirked and once more melted in to the shadows only to reappear among the students dressed in her school robes. Everyone started speculating amongst him or herself who the mysterious warrior was. Meanwhile the sailor senshi had taken advantage of this lull to slip away.
The rest of the day went by smoothly for the students. At the end of the day after dinner the five new students and the three new teachers went into Setsuna's office to talk. "Rei, are you sure that ninja woman was the hime?" Makoto asked skeptically. "I know it is hard to believe, but I know I sensed her presence as a warrior the moment that the ninja girl showed up." Rei replied hotly. "Take it easy Rei. It is just hard to believe that Usagi-chan could be such a warrior." Ami reasoned, always the pacifist. "I have looked on the hime every know and then and I have seen her change from the crybaby to the Princess to a warrior." Setsuna injected. "Was she trained as an assassin?" Minako asked skeptically. "I believe she was. I do not know much about that dimension because they have different gods who mostly blocked my sight." Setsuna said. "So how do we get this Usagi to remember her past?" Hotaru asked quietly. "Listen closely, I have an idea." Setsuna said and they all leaned closer.
Meanwhile, Hermione was in the library hunting for a certain book. She checked the dusty section that nobody looked in. She gave a small aha when she found the book she wanted. She pulled the book off the shelf and dusted off the title. In golden italic letters the words Unknown Legends was stamped on the front cover. She quickly flipped through it and found the page she wanted. She quickly read over it before checking it out with Madame Pince.
Hermione dashed up the stairs and quickly told the password to the Fat Lady. Racing inside she found Harry and Ron and dragged them over to an isolated corner. "Look what I found." Hermione said breathlessly as she showed them the book. "Unknown Legends? Hermione we don't need another Mythological History lesson." Ron said and started to turn away. "Stop Ron. Listen to what this says though. The Legend of the Dragon of the Night. A child separated from her home thriced marked by the dragon would take up the sword. Marked once by eyes, marked twice by a scar, marked thrice by name. A prophecy foretold and a mistake made. Timelines altered and empires destroyed. A need driven by a bond. One's death at the hands of another. A destiny linked across worlds and a love made in heaven. That's it. Then it goes on to describe the exact nature of the scar and some other things." Hermione explained. "Point is?" Ron asked. Hermione threw her up her hands in the air, exasperated. Harry looked thoughtful. "You don't think Usagi is this Dragon of the Night, do you?" he asked slowly. Hermione beamed at him. "Yes, I do. The picture here shows a symbol exactly like the one we saw on Usagi's arm without the other symbols." Hermione explained. Ron looked thoughtful. "You know we don't know that much about Usagi anyway. All Dumbledore told us in his letter was that a friend of his friend needed a place to stay. He also said that four others were coming with her." Ron said. "Do you think we should confront her?" Harry asked. Hermione thought for a moment. "No, not yet anyway. I think we should follow her around and find as much as we can first." She replied. "I'll get the Marauder's Map and the Invisibility Cloak." Harry whispered. So he ran upstairs and got the two items. They slipped outside and consulted the map. "It says that all six of them are in the empty room behind the portrait of the black dragon." Harry said.
They went down to the fourth floor and said the password to the portrait. They went in and slowly walked down the flight of stairs. When they got to the end of the stairs what they saw had their jaws down to the floor.
