Dark Universe Hey, I like pink! Well, maybe not, but I only think it's evil when you use it wrong, like a pink Cadillac. Setsuna Megami of Time liked your idea for Suna/Trowa matchmaking, so the next chapter will be for you guys, cuz I know that you've been waiting on it for a while. As for ideas, give me some for all of the matchmaking, please?

Another Life Chapter Eight
Last Time
None had any idea what was going to happen this night. The destiny of all their lives would hang in the balance, but none could stop the foreboding feeling that was rising in their gut. They all knew that something, whether for good or evil, was going to happen. The girls all hoped that it did NOT include the death of their leader, but they all feared it.
This Time
As Usagi finished her song, someone started clapping. She looked up startled to see a person standing in the shadows. They laughed and said, "I'm amazed at you, Serenity, you actually have the ability to do something. I admit, singing doesn't take that much ability, but it does take some."
Usagi gasped. She knew that voice. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Why, haven't you figured it out yet, I'm here to kill you," he said.
"You can't be here, you were frozen in that crystal by Beryl," Usagi said as she stood up.
"Now, now, Serenity, don't you think that over the past couple thousands of years, I would have been able to escape. It's your fault she threw me in there in the first place," he sneered stepping more into the light.
"It is not, Jedaite, you're the one who sided with someone who would do that," Usagi said.
Jedaite sneered and said, "She was better than you."
Usagi, now standing, said, "She might have been, but that's not for me or you to decide. She is gone now, and will be for eternity. Her soul, once controlled by Metalia, has been released and she's resting in peace."
Jedaite became angrier at this, "You also killed all of the other generals."
Usagi scowled and said indignantly, "I did not. She did. She killed them for failing to kill me, and you know this."
Meanwhile, Hiiro had been listening to this conversation as he moved to a better position to get Usagi out of harms way. It sounded like Usagi had battled some organization run by a woman named Beryl, and this man had been one of the lead generals of it.
They were going at it still, he blamed her for the death of three other people, and for taking away someone named Endymion, and she said that she didn't take Endymion, and another woman killed the other three.
"Listen to me, Jedaite," Usagi said, "Endymion and I fell in love in front of your eyes! You watched us fall in love. We were going to marry, but he wasn't going to leave you, I was going to leave the moon before he would leave you. His loyalty to you and the others was one of the things that I loved about him. And as for the other generals, they chose their life, the same as you. I didn't kill them, Beryl did, so I don't know why you're mad at me."
"If you had just died then, they wouldn't have been killed!" Jedaite nearly yelled as he charged his power up.
"Jedaite, don't do" Usagi started, but she was whisked away so quickly that she couldn't finish her sentence. Someone had grabbed her and ran out of the way of the attack.
After the shock, she looked up to see none other than Hiiro there. She couldn't believe it. She thought she had lost him, and here he was guarding her like any other bodyguard. For a moment, she thought about getting angry, but decided that she wouldn't since he hadn't dragged her back to her room like she thought he would.
She didn't have a lot of time to think about this, however, when Hiiro got hit in the back by the second of Jedaite's attacks aimed for her. Usagi pushed him into the bushes and angrily turned to Jedaite, "He has absolutely nothing to do with you, so why in the world did you just attack him."
Jedaite gave one of his smiles and said, "That's simple enough, he means something to you. Something more than even you realize apparently. I will take everything that means something to you, and then I will take your life."
At that moment, he started to leave until Usagi called out, "I won't let you ruin my life. We finish this here and now. Don't try to leave, I won't let you."
"I didn't know you were so anxious for your own death, princess," Jedaite smiled at her. "If you want to die now, then so be it, and after you're dead, I will kill all of those you love. Including your family in this life time, and don't think those silly gundam guards that your sister has guarding you will be able to save her either, just like they won't be able to save you."
"You're mad at me for betraying Endymion," Usagi started, "and yet, that's exactly what you're doing. I haven't betrayed him, as a matter of fact; I'm doing exactly as he told me too. I'm living a life, even if it is hampered by you."
He scowled, "You're lying. I'm not betraying him, you are, and I will make you pay for his death."
"Then, let's get started," Usagi said. She held up her hand and called out, "Moon Eternal, Make Up!"
Jedaite, not knowing about her power ups, was astounded when she finished transforming. She was Princess of the Moon, but only one other had gained this power, and that was the one that had started the Moon Kingdom in the first place. However, this didn't deter him from his purpose, to punish the princess for the deaths of his comrades and for the betrayal and death of his prince, Endymion.
As soon as she was done transforming, he let out a blast of power towards her. She dodged it. "Jedaite, I won't let you hurt those I love, but I don't want to fight you. You're not my enemy anymore. I don't think that Endymion or Rei-chan would be too happy with you once you do join them."
Jedaite stopped for a second, "Who's Rei-chan, and what does she have to do with me?"
"I am Rei-chan!" a voice said from behind him. He turned and saw none other than Sailor Mars standing there, or at least, a ghost like version of her. "And as for what I have to do with you, well, I think that you can come up with the answer to that."
"What happened to you?" Jedaite asked. "She's responsible for this, isn't she." He turned towards Usagi, and was about to attack her again when Rei stepped in between him and Usagi.
"No, she is NOT," Rei said putting her hands on her waist like she used to do in order to make a point to him. "I chose not to return because in this life, I would have only hindered her and the others and myself."
"From what?" he asked somewhat angry that she was stopping him, and making sense.
Rei smiled, and let her arms fall to her side, "From happiness. In my case, from you."
"How does not being here help you be with me?" Jedaite asked.
"Whoever said I wasn't here?" Rei asked.
"But you're dead!" Jedaite said.
Rei was still smiling, "I'm not dead, you just have to find me. Right now, I'm somewhere without any memory of my life. The one who will recognize me goes by the name, Wufei Chang. Listen to him. I'll see you in less than a year." Rei disappeared.
Eternal Sailor Moon looked as amazed as he did. After she got over her shock, she said, "So, what will your decision be?"
Jedaite thought for a moment before he sighed and said, "I will wait a year, and if she doesn't come, you will die, otherwise, I will make it up to you. I will be watching."
Usagi smiled, "I will see you when we find Rei-chan."
He nodded and turned to walk away when someone said, "Freeze." They had both forgotten about him when Rei appeared, and now they needed to take care of this.
Jedaite slowly turned around and said, "Serenity, please explain to him before we meet again, otherwise, next time he challenges me, I might just take him up on that offer." With that, Jedaite disappeared.
Hiiro's eyes widened for a split second, before he lowered his gun. He turned to Usagi and said, "Talk. I want everything."
At that moment, there was a flash of rainbow colored light, and the senshi appeared in civilian form with the gundam pilots.
Usagi just looked at them and said, "Now, weren't we supposed to keep this a secret?"
Haruka scowled, "Not when a princess decides she's going to run off without protection just because she doesn't like the results of her own actions. You're going to pay for what you put us through."
Michiru laughed, "I think that you worried her a little to much, Usa-chan."
The gundam pilots were just too confused, and Hiiro repeated his command, "Talk, now."
Usagi sighed, touched the crescent moon on her head, and de-transformed. She sat down on the grass in a comfortable position, and waited for everyone else to do so. The senshi faced the pilots when Usagi finally started to explain.
"A couple of thousands of years ago" and she explained it all. She told of the Silver Millennium, and the how Beryl attacked it. She told them of her life as Usagi Tsukino in Tokyo where she was a normal girl until Luna found her. She told them of Crystal Tokyo, and how she had ruled. And finally, she told them of the attack that had taken everything from her. She told them when she had regained the memories in this life, and when she had met the senshi, and finally she introduced the senshi by their sailor names.
"And I do believe that covers it all that I need to tell you, now it's time to tell the senshi what happened here," Usagi said.
She told the senshi about her conversation with Jedaite, and what Rei had said when she appeared. Once she was done, everyone turned to Wufei.
"Why in the world would he be the one to know who Rei is?" Haruka crossed her arms.
Usagi smiled slightly and said, "More than likely because he knew her at one time in this life. I don't think that he'll know her as Rei Hino, but he will probably know her."
However, during this part of the conversation, Wufei wasn't paying attention. He knew who it could be, but he wasn't sure. He thought she had died when his wife had died, but there is the possibility that she had survived and had just lost her memory of him.
Usagi, realizing that now the shock was over, and that she had just told them that the assassin trying to kill her had found her alone, decided that she wanted to get out of there before they realized it.
However, before she could do anything, she saw realization dawn on Haruka, and he turned to her, "U-sa-gi!"
Usagi tried to look innocent, let out a quick yawn and said, "Boy I'm tired, I think I'll go back to the room and get some sleep." She took off running with Haruka following.
Michiru, Hotaru, Setsuna, and Minako all shared a look, and then started laughing.
"Do you think that we should help Usagi-chan?" Hotaru asked.
Minako looked thoughtful for a moment before a mischievous grin spread across her face as she said, "Well, I'm too tired to chase Haruka back to the dorm, so we can help her when we get there."
Hotaru grinned too and said, "Yeah, after what she put us through, I think a little punishment from Haruka-papa won't hurt too much."
With that, the girls started talking as they walked back to the dorm room. Once they were out of sight, Hiiro turned to the others, "This doesn't change our job, we will still go on with guard duty. Resume your posts."
The others nodded and they all left.
