Mist swirled around the group as they came out of the portal. The three young men not holding the girl swiftly surrounded the girl and the one holding her.
"There is no need for you to be so protective here. I will not hurt her, and neither will the girl with me," stated a woman as she stepped out of the shadows created by the mist. The woman was wearing a strange outfit. It was a white leotard with a black skirt attached with a black sailor collar. Above the skirt in the back was a maroon bow and below the sailor collar was another maroon bow. On her forehead was a gold tiara with a black stone at the center. On her feet were black boots that came up to her knees. All in all she looked majestic yet foreboding. Looking at the girl, she addressed her saying, "You have nothing to fear from me for once I swore to protect you. Since you do not remember me, I will tell you who I am. I am Sailor Pluto."
From behind the woman came a young girl about thirteen years of age. She wore a black dress that came to her knees and had long sleeves. She had violet eyes that bespoke of wisdom and understanding beyond her years. Her black hair was cut to her shoulders. In contrast with the black of her hair and clothing, her skin was almost a sickly pale. She peered at the girl before with interest.
Seeing her interest, the black haired man said, "How do we know that we can true you? How do we know that you are not traitors like the others?"
Sailor Pluto answered him, "I have a great desire to protect the girl in your arms. I only asked that you take the girl at my side with you on your journey. She will prove valuable to you."
"Why should we take her with us? We can not trust her," retorted the blond.
"I wish to come with you. I can help you communicate with the girl. Even now I can feel her fear and confusion. She trusts the four of you. She will trust anyone the four of you trust. Please try to trust me," said the dark haired girl. Turning her gaze to the blonde girl, she said, "Do you fear me? Do you fell that you can trust me?"
Five gazes turned to the blonde girl awaiting her response. She looked in the other girl's violet eyes. She could see the soul of the girl and tell that it was dark and had a hidden power but that power was good. She nodded to the girl and the entire group sighed after seeing that the dark haired girl could be trusted.
"Minna, I am sorry to disrupt you but you must be on your journey. I will lead you to the gate. Once you step beyond the gate you are on your own. There are doors beyond the gate that lead to different places. Well here is the gate. Good luck," said Sailor Pluto as she led the group to a set of giant doors. The doors were carved of wood with mythological beasts and beings winding between vines and flowers. She opened both doors and ushered them forward. "Please be careful and always protect the hime," pleaded Sailor Pluto as they passed her as the passed the threshold of the gate.
