When Serena and Mina finally got to Rei's they found that the other Sailor Soldiers were already there.
"What took you so long Serena?" Ami asked as she typed on her mini computer.
"She was probably at some arcade," Rei said as she swept.
"She was at a café, with a guy," Mina said with a smirk on her face.
"Guys, it's not like that okay!" Serena said with a slight blush on her face.
"Man Serena you bounce back fast!" Lita said.
"So what's his name?" Rei asked.
"It's Goku," she mumbled as she looked down.
"What was that?" Rei asked. Serena growled.
"Could we please just get on with the stupid meeting!" she said, and the meeting continued.
Goku looked around this new place he was to stay in. He had never felt to boxed up before. In the void, there were no limits, no walls to cut him off; it was just a place where nothing existed. But this place everything was bright and clear. There were boundaries to separate him from the other people living here, and there were other things besides just him. He walked passed a mirror, and saw the bite mark on his neck. It was starting to heal, signaling that his bond was slowly disappearing.
'But by now it should have been completely gone,' Goku thought as he looked at it harder. 'It should have been gone a long time ago, but it's not, why?' he wondered. He just sighed, and took off his shirt reveling scars, and cuts on his body. There was a long and deep scar on the left side of his chest, and one on his leg. Most he had healed already, but many were from his three long years in the void. He took one last look at the bite mark before going to bed.
Serena tossed and turned in her bed as a dream covered her mind. She was used to dreams some showed her future, and others were windows into the past. But this one was unlike any dream she had ever had.
Dream
Serena found herself in the gardens of a palace. She was Princess Serenity in this dream so it was about the past. As she looked around, she saw a man coming up to her. She could not make out his face since he was too far away. He was about to get closer when a sudden dark light consumed the area. Instead of being in the calm, gentle, and peaceful gardens, Serena found herself in a place made out of complete darkness. A dark man came up to her with a knife in his right hand.
"Scream for me," he whispered in a dark cold voice. The man raised his knife, and was about to bring it down when the soldier jumped in front of her, and punched the man away. But he suddenly came from behind her and grabbed her neck. The soldier tried to save her, but the dark man blasted him back.
"Scream," was all he said before he sliced her neck.
End
Serena shot up out her bed with a loud scream. She looked around her room panting as her parents rushed into her room.
"What is it honey?" her mom asked.
"Nothing, just a bad dream," Serena replied after she calmed down.
When Goku woke up the next morning, his eyes were forced to close since the sudden bright light of the day was still unfamiliar to him. He finally fully opened his eyes and put the covers he had slept on back on the bed. After three years of sleeping on nothing but the cold dark ground of a void, it's hard to go back to a bed. After a brief exercise session, he grabbed his towel, and headed for the bathroom. He looked strangely at the shower; he had never seen such a thing in his life. But nevertheless, he stepped into the shower, and turned one of the knobs. Goku literally jumped out of the shower, and started shivering for a moment.
'Man that's cold,' he thought, and went up to it again. He didn't know why, but he turned one of the other knobs. The water soon became warmer. He kept turning it until the water was warm enough for him, and he stepped in. And for the first time in three years, he had a decent bath.
"Serena why did you scream?" Luna asked after her parents left.
"It was another dream. A horrible dream," Serena said as she shivered. Just the thought of the man's voice sent a shiver down her spine.
"What kind of dream?"
"It one from the past. First, I started out in the gardens. Then, a soldier starts coming towards me, and for some reason I'm going towards him in a way. I felt like I belonged in his arms, and him near me. I just felt warmth when he coming near me."
"Did you see his face? It could be Darien you two are destined to be together in the future," Luna said stating the obvious.
"I don't know. I don't think it was Darien. It was someone else," Serena said as she thought hard about what the soldier looked like. "Luna do you know if I loved anyone else besides Darien?"
"Not that I know of," the cat answered.
"Serena, breakfast!" her mom called. Serena forgot all about her troubles, and rushed downstairs. Luna just sighed, and sweatdropped.
Goku looked at the time. 7:24. It was a good morning for a run. He put on his normal gi, and ran out his door, and into the fresh morning air. The air as he ran felt so cool, and fresh. He took a deep breath as he ran. He felt so calm, and at peace with himself. Like the tragedy at the moon kingdom never happened. Right now, all there was for him was the road, the wind, and the light of the freshly raised sun. The anger, and hatred within him for now had ceased. All he could feel was pure inner peace. He had never felt this calm before. The bite mark from Serenity had stopped burring him, and he felt it slowly healing. It was amazing how one run could affect him this much. His peace was disturbed however as soon he heard a loud scream.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! I'm going to be late!!!!!!!!!!" When Goku turned the corner Serena suddenly bumped into him.
"What the hell?" Goku said when he felt Serena run into him.
"Oh I'm so sorry," Serena repeated over, and over again as she bowed.
"Uh.....it's okay?" Goku said as he watched Serena do this a million times.
"Oh it's you Goku," she said when she looked at him.
"What's with the hurry?" Goku asked.
"School's about to start and I'm going to be late!!!!!!!" Serena cried.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa Serena calm down. I'm pretty sure I could get you there," Goku said. Serena's eyes sparkled with joy.
"You mean you have a car!" Goku sweatdropped when he saw her like that.
"What's a car?" he asked quietly.
"Huh what did you say?"
"Nothing, I mean just get on my back." Serena gave him a confused looked when he stooped down. "Trust me," he said calmly. When she heard him she couldn't help but get on his back.
"Like this?" she asked. Goku nodded, and supported her legs.
"Hold on tight!" Goku said cheerfully, and started running. To him it was a jog, but to Serena he was going as fast as a cheetah. She screamed as Goku zoomed past two blocks in a flash. She squeezed her eyes shut when she felt the incredible wind in her eyes.
"Do you think you could slow down?!" Serena screamed.
"What is this too fast for you? This is just a jog to me!" Goku laughed. "Just relax, let go, and you won't mind it as much." Serena tried to relax, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a car suddenly turn towards them.
"Watch out!!!!!" she screamed, but she was in shock when Goku cleared the car in one leap.
"You say something?" he asked as he started running again. "Which building is it?" Goku asked her. Serena groaned when she knew she had to open her eyes.
"I'm not sure," she said as she saw the buildings zoom past.
"That's because you only have half of one eye open. Don't be afraid, just relax. Take deep breaths," Goku encouraged. Serena sighed, and fully opened her eyes. When she saw her school coming up, she told Goku to stop. Serena sighed when she heard the first bell.
"I'm on time!!!" she cheered. "Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!!!!!!!" Goku just chuckled when he saw her jumping up and down while she was thanking him.
"It's really no big deal," Goku said with laugh. Serena gasped when she heard the second bell.
"I better get going or else I'll be late," she said.
"Yeah, that would just be waste. All that for nothing," Goku chuckled. "See ya later Serena." They smiled at each other as they went their separate ways.
Serena nearly fell over when her friends just jumped in front of her.
"SERENA!!!!" they all said at the same time. It took all her will power not to fall over.
"What?!" she asked.
"We all saw you with that guy!" Lita said.
"What you mean you guys were watching?!?!!!" Serena growled.
"It kinda hard not to when you stop in front of the door!" Mina laughed. Serena was both blushing and fuming.
"And I call you guys friends."
Goku whistled as he jogged to park for some training.
'The only thing that could make this day better is a huge breakfast!' Goku thought as he made his way to the park. But before he got there, he felt something. Whatever it was it made his stomach fell so empty, and cold. He turned his head when he saw it was coming from the park. Goku started sweat when he realized there was only one thing that made him feel this way.
'There's some sort of dark presence in the park. It couldn't be!' he thought as he raced to the park. When he got there, his eyes widened. Trees were knocked over, and the holes in the ground were countless. He almost exploded when he saw people lying lifelessly on the ground. He rushed over to a kid, and shook him.
"Hey come on kid wake up!" he shouted and tried harder. 'I can't sense any life energy from him! He can't be....' Goku's head shot up when he heard a cry from a woman, and baby. Goku rushed over there, and saw a man in a robe, with long green tentacles. The woman and child were being held in the air by his tentacles, he could see some sort of white light being drained from them.
"Soon the lord will be back to full power," the man chuckled as he dropped the woman, and child.
"Hey you! Leave them alone!" Goku shouted. The man turned around, and looked Goku with his dark red eyes. His green tentacles turned into normal hands, and his long green hair swayed as the wind blew.
"You seemed determined to stop me, all right, human boy, let's go!"
"I'll make you pay for every life you've stolen, you bastard!!" Goku shouted, and charged.
AN: Well everyone guess what, this story is BAAAACCKKKKK!!!!!!!!! I'm so, so, so, so, so, so sorry for the hold up, I just lost feeling for this story for like a year, and I'm so sorry. I guess you can thank or blame the Rurouni Kenshin OVA Samurai X. I was watching it one day, and I couldn't help but think of this Fanfiction. When it was over I was filled with ideas for this fic. Not much of a chapter overall in my opinion so I decided to end it with a fight coming up so I would have something to work on next chapter. Well anyway, I hope I kept everyone in character that's what I shooting for. Well I hoped you liked the return chapter to this story. R&R See ya!
