A/N: Gomen nasai for making you wait so long, minna-san! But: HERE IT IS! Chapter Nine, at long last!
The speeders shot across the icy planes, heading for the boundary where they passed the Snow Kaguyas. "Mercury, get down!" Zoisite called. "Enemies ahead!" He prepared to drop back behind Mamoru's speeder.
"No!" Mercury called. She stood up straight and tall on the speeder. "Keep going! Trust me!" Zoisite shot a quick look back at her. Her eyes were sparkling, hair blowing back off her face. Mamoru and Nephrite pulled alongside them, Kunzite and Jadeite on the back, weapons at the ready. Mercury shot the drivers a look and made a short gesture. They obediently fell back, falling into an arrowhead formation. Ahead, Zoisite saw the Snow Kaguyas growing larger, then... fading? Hang on a minute, he thought, they're... running away?! He shot another look back at Mercury, but she hadn't changed. She still stood there, silently. I certainly don't remember her being able to do that.
The same thing happened three other times that day. Either a Snow Dancer or an U-Tahime would approach, but, while still a fair way off, would turn and retreat. Every time it happened, Zoisite would look to Mercury for answers, but she would just smile. When they stopped for the night, Jadeite voiced the question first.
"How the hell did you do that? I mean, all those creatures, they took one look at you and ran for their lives!" Mercury laughed softly, then turned serious.
"Can you remember? Any of you?"
"I think so..." Mamoru said, half closing his eyes. "As Senshi and princess of this planet... you have some sort of... what is it..." He scowled, trying to remember. "Can't quite get it..." Mercury smiled.
"As Senshi of Mercury, I have a strong connection to this planet, yes. The evil creatures... they can feel my power. They can sense it. So they run. It's either that, or fight me. And die."
Kunzite nodded. "Well, it certainly helped us out today."
Nephrite narrowed his eyes. "But, with the new power being felt... won't the Dark Kingdom notice?"
"No," Mercury replied. "This planet will hide me, hide my power. It will only be when I leave this planet that we will need to hide it."
Mamoru nodded. "Now. We got to the tower in three days, with a couple of battles, so this should cut several hours off the trip. At this rate, I estimate we'll reach the Losa Kard at about this time in two days."
"Good." Zoisite smiled. He turned to Mercury. "When we reach the hotel, the old man who runs the place, Ryo Urawa, has said he'll keep you there. If we arrive at nightfall, one or two of us can sneak in and tell him we're back. Then in the morning, we'll slip into the Spacedome. We'll act like you're his... niece, or daughter of a cousin or something, and we're bringing you to stay with him while we..."
"Go to join the army," Mamoru finished, with a sour look. Zoisite nodded.
"OK, that'll work. We'll see if Ryo-san can lend us any disguise clothing, and wigs if he's got 'em. We'll pose as brothers, or cousins or something like that." He turned and grinned at Mercury. "You'll be our little sister, ne Ami-chan?" Mercury blinked. "What?" Zoisite looked confused.
"You remembered my name," she breathed. The five men exchanged looks.
"I did..." Zoisite said slowly. "I... didn't even think about it, I just said it." He glanced back at her. "Does this mean..."
"Your memories are returning. Without you even knowing it."
"Will this happen with the rest of us?" Jadeite asked.
"Probably," Nephrite said thoughtfully. "Hopefully."
"Here's hoping," Mamoru said, checking his watch. "We should turn in. We'll want to get moving at first light." He turned to Mercury. "Will we need to set a watch?"
"I would anyway," she replied. "Just in case."
"Wise move," Kunzite said. "Watches the same as before? Good. See you all later." The men all murmured similar goodnights before slipping into their bedrolls. Zoisite gave Mercury's hand a brief squeeze as she settled herself down in the blankets.
"See you in the morning. Goodnight."
The night passed without incident, and they got underway soon after dawn. The next days passed without incident, only a few monsters daring approach, and even they fled at the sight of the girl on the speeders. Every time that happened, Zoisite smothered a laugh. These terrible monsters, fleeing at the sight of a single girl. Well, if I ever had to go up against her in a fight to the death, I think I'd prefer to run myself.
Finally, as it neared nightfall on the third day of travel, they stopped, about an hour journey from the inn. "Tonight," Mamoru said in the tent, "Zoi and I will sneak in to the inn, and explain the situation, also we'll get any disguises he's got. The rest of you will have to wait here for us. The smaller the group, the better."
"Wait," Mercury said. "Take me with you."
"That's probably a good idea," Kunzite mused. "Give the man a chance to meet her before he meets her, so to speak. If you're supposed to be his niece or something, it'd be a good idea."
"Right." Mamoru nodded. "Then, just Zoisite and Mercury will go."
"Please. Call me Ami," Mercury said with a smile, which Zoisite returned.
"OK." He handed her a cloak, which she draped around herself, concealing her slim form completely, and drawing up the hood to hide her face. Zoisite took another and did the same. "Let's go. We'll be back as soon as we can." The pair slipped out of the tent and Zoisite slipped into the driver's seat of the nearest speeder. "Ready?" he asked softly.
"Let's go," she whispered. Zoisite gunned the speeder and they were off. After an hour's drive, they reached the outskirts of town. Dismounting, they secured the speeder and slipped through the shadows to the inn. The inn was silent as they slipped in, and Zoisite rang the bell on the counter. Ryo Urawa appeared.
"Good evening sir, how can I help you?"
"We need to talk. Privately," Zoisite said in a hoarse voice. The old man looked puzzled, but led them into a back room. "Will anyone be able to hear us in here?" Zoisite asked, in the same voice. Urawa shook his head. Zoisite nodded and took off his cloak. The old man's eyes nearly fell out of his head in shock. Zoisite grinned cockily. "Didn't I tell you we'd be back?"
Urawa gaped for a minute, then regain control of himself. "There were five of you. What happened to the others?"
"Oh, they're waiting about an hour away. We won't officially be coming back, you know. We're just another party who vanished into the icy wastes, never to be seen or heard from again. But I came back tonight, because there's someone you need to meet before tomorrow." He turned to Mercury and nodded, and she removed her cloak. Urawa simply stared.
"Is... is that... really..." he whispered, tears filling his old eyes.
"Sailor Mercury. Alive and well," Zoisite said softly. "Not just a legend, not just a myth." The old man sank to his knees in front of the girl, weeping softly. Mercury knelt in front of him, reaching out a hand.
"Please..." she said softly. He looked up at met her eyes.
"You're really here," he said quietly. "That mysterious heroine from legend. The Senshi of Mercury. You're really alive." Mercury nodded.
"Yes. I am. And for the next while... I'll be staying here." Urawa smiled.
"Yes, that's all arranged, just like I promised. I've told the staff that I'm expecting my little brother's daughter soon. My favourite niece."
"Have you given her a name?" Zoisite asked. The old man nodded.
"Her name is Amy. Amy Anderson." Mercury nodded approval. "You'll be helping Ocianne, if you don't mind. She looks after the children staying here."
"That will be great," she smiled. Urawa smiled again and got to his feet.
"Now, I expect you'll be wanting some sort of disguise to 'arrive' in, won't you."
"Yes, we will," Zoisite nodded.
"Got it ready." Urawa opened a cupboard in the back corner of the room and pulled out three sacks. Costumes and wigs are in here, as well as new clothes for Amy." He grinned at Mercury. "You shouldn't need much else, my girl."
Zoisite nodded and took the sacks. "Thank you. For everything."
"It is I who should be thanking you," the old man replied. "If you can free all the Senshi, everyone will be thanking you."
"Yeah, well, don't count your chickens before they're hatched. We've only freed one so far. Still seven others to go, then the Moon Princess," Zoisite said, wrapping himself in his cloak again.
"Well, I'd call this a very promising start," Urawa chuckled.
"We'll come about ten tomorrow morning, OK?" Zoisite said, picking up the sacks.
"See you then." Mercury smiled, and in an impulsive movement, hugged the old man. He gave her a firm hug before handing her the second cloak.
"Will you do that again when you meet you old uncle tomorrow?" he asked, eyes twinkling. Mercury laughed and nodded. "See you tomorrow then." Mercury nodded and went to wrap her cloak around her self, but paused.
"Wait. I should detransform." She closed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, and a blue light surrounded her. When it faded, she stood there in a simple blue gown. Zoisite quickly realised he was staring and blushed faintly. Mercury went slightly pink herself and rummaged in one of the sacks to hide it. "I'd better change, ne?" she said, pulling out a simple skirt and blouse. Urawa nodded and showed her into a side room to change. The two men waited in silence until she returned, folding the blue dress neatly.
"I'll keep this safe for you, my dear," Urawa said, slipping it into the cupboard.
"See you tomorrow," Ami whispered, draping the cloak around her, and she and Zoisite vanished out the door into the night.
The next day, the party slipped into the Spacedome at nine-thirty. The place was packed, so it was easy to go unnoticed. The men wore typical Mercurian clothing, and sported black wigs. They casually sauntered through the dome, their luggage, except Ami's, safely stowed aboard their ship. Kunzite carried one of her bags, Zoisite the other. A taxicab was swiftly procured, and they sped towards the inn, all the while chatting casually about unimportant matters.
Finally they arrived at the inn. "You ready?" Zoisite whispered. Ami nodded. "Let's go meet your uncle." Mamoru sauntered to the desk and rang the bell. Urawa appeared, and his winkled face lit up when he saw Ami.
"My dear Ami!" he said happily, coming around to envelop Ami in a hug. Ami laughed and hugged him back.
"Good to see you again, Uncle," she said, smiling.
"And how have the boys been keeping?" Urawa laughed, turning to the men standing behind her. "Out of trouble, I hope?"
"Of course, old-timer," Mamoru grinned.
"Watch who you're calling old, boy," Urawa joked. "I can still kick you from here to next week! Now shut your trap and take my niece's stuff to her room!" Zoisite gave an exaggerated groan along with the others and took Ami's other bag from Kunzite. "The room where you stayed last time you were here," Urawa indicated. Zoisite nodded and headed up the stairs, Ami following. The bags were unceremoniously dumped on the bed as Ami looked around the room.
"It's not the fanciest place in the world," he said, "but it's nice enough." Turning, he found Ami hugging him tightly. "Ami..."
"I don't want you to go," she said quietly. "Not when I've just got you back."
"And I don't want to go either," Zoisite replied. "But I have to. You know I have to. But knowing doesn't make it any easier, does it?"
"No. But you're going to save my princess and friends, and that makes it a little easier." She looked up at him, blue eyes meeting green. "And I know you'll come back for me." Zoisite smiled softly and bent his head closer to hers. She closed her eyes as their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss. Zoisite could feel nothing except her arms around him, her warm body pressed to his, and her sweet lips on his.
When they finally parted, owing to the need for breath, they heard Urawa calling them from below. "Come on Ami, come back down, it can't be all that interesting up there!"
"Yes it can," she smiled softly. Zoisite smiled back and kissed her cheek before following her downstairs. Urawa was waiting with a young girl, in her late teens, with deep blue eyes, and a black, slightly below shoulder length hair kept out of her face with a cloth headband.
"This is Ocianne. She looks after the children of people staying here." Ocianne grinned a greeting.
"Hi! Welcome to Mercury!" Ami smiled back, but was distracted by a meowing from her feet. Looking down, she saw a small, blue-black cat winding around her ankles. "Oy, come here you," Ocianne smiled, picking the cat up. 'This is Kat the cat." She held the cat out for Ami to pat. "Come on, I'll help you get settled in."
"I'll just say goodbye first," Ami said, and headed back to the men. Each man gave her a tight hug.
"We'll see you soon, lil' sis." Mamoru
"Keep safe." Kunzite
"Don't worry, Urawa will take good care of you." Nephrite.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." A wink and grin from Jadeite.
Finally she got to Zoisite. "I will come back for you, Ami. Stay safe, my heart."
"I will," she said softly. With a final glance back, she went off with Ocainne.
"She'll take good care of her, don't you worry," Urawa reassured them. "I swear to you now, no harm will come to her." The five men bowed to him and turned and left the inn.
Soon, they were back on their ship, headed for Venus.
