This is the second and last time I will post the disclaimer for this story. I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing, I wish I did since it would mean I draw really well, but alas I do not. Though, I still do draw well for an inexperienced onna.
The Wish
Pulling the blanket tighter around her shoulders, Ami leaned against the window pain. Her eyes watching the moonlight dance on top of the pools surface. Letting out a soft sigh she thought on the past two years. Things had changed in the last two years, no fault of evil, but of the senshi's own doing.
Ami smiled lightly, she was finally equal to the other scouts in strength and power. She found herself more out going then before, and with the peace the senshi were now truly able to be friends from want then obligation. Not that any one of them would admit to that before, but it just help them to know that they could remain friends during a lull in fighting evil. Ami had also found herself being surprisingly good friends with Hotaru. She figured it had to do with the fact that they were both considered weaker then their teammates and trained together to become stronger. Also since they had more things in common then the other scouts, like wanting to heal the wounded.
Ami let out a small laugh as another memory of likeness came to mind.
Flash Back
It had been a few days after battling Chaos when she decided to talk to the senshi of the winds. She pulled herself together as she looked at the door.
A moment or two after Ami knocked Michiru opened the door with a soft smile, "Konichiwa Ami-chan, to what do we hold the pleasure?" Michiru said as she moved to let the younger girl in "Please come in."
Ami smiled as she stepped into the house "Konichiwa Michiru-san, is Haruka home?"
Michiru smiled a nodded her head "she out back I will go get her, why don't you wait for us in the living room."
Ami felt the knots in her stomach tighten ass she nervously waited in the living room. She stopped fidgeting with her hands as she heard the two girls enter, looked up and smiled at the sandy blond.
"Konichiwa Ami-chan, Michi-chan tells me you wanted to see me?" Haruka said in a naturally husky voice.
"um, yes, you see" she blushed slightly "I wanted to get some training in hand-to-hand, and…" ducking her head she pushed a piece of hair back before continuing, "Iwashopingyoucouldteachme,soIwontcanbemorehelpinfuturefights" she hurried out her face turned more red.
The older girl chuckled slightly with dancing eyes, "I would be happy to Ami-chan, demo nande desu ka?"
The dark haired girl looked up smiling brightly cheek still stained pink and spoke determinedly "I want to be more help to the other senshi in future battles. Most of what I do is defensive or strategic. I do not want to be liability and I want to be more help in protecting the princess." She stated firmly light aquamarine blue eyes meeting navy blue eyes determinedly.
Haruka's eyes widen slightly in surprise at the younger girls determination. "Well I wont fault you for your determination, demo are you sure you are up to this now. I mean it will most likely be a long while before the senshi are needed again."
Ami nodded her head determination shining in her eyes "Hai, I'm positive. We can't be reckless by not keeping in shape. It's better to be prepared just in case, than caught off guard."
The look of determination Ami's face and conviction in her voice shocked the sandy blond girl speechless and all she could do was nod her head. "Hai Ami-chan you're right, I have to say I am slightly surprised it is you asking and not Makoto or Rei."
Michiru had stayed quite beside her love and chuckled "love, I would think by now that you would not be surprised by inners determination to protect the princess." She said with her eyes dancing in humor.
Haruka frowned at Michiru and pouted slightly, "I said, I was slightly surprised Koi."
Michiru smiled softly at her love, "well, we should be" turning to Ami and smiles at the young girl "I'm sure that you put much thought into this. So if there is anything I can do to help you as 'Ruka trains you, I will."
Ami blushed and gave a warm smile, "thank you Michiru-san, Haruka-san; I best be going now. I will see you later, Sayonara."
Few Days Later
Walking outside Hotaru widened her eyes in shock upon seeing Haruka-papa instructing Ami-chan basics of blocking. In confusion she asked, "Haruka-papa, Ami-chan what are you doing?"
Haruka turned and looked at her 'daughter' with amusement crossing her features, "What does it look like hime? Ami-chan asked me to teach her to fight so that's what I'm doing."
Hotaru looking slightly abashed turned her head to Ami in amazement "Demo… nani? Nande?"
Ami eyes danced, as a slight blush crossed her cheeks, "Haruka-san, and Michiru-san were also shocked." She cleared her throat and explained, "I wanted to have a way to defend my self if there are more attacks."
Hotaru blinked twice then asked in an exited voice, "Can I join? It looks like fun and it would make me stronger too."
Haruka blinked in surprise at her child's eagerness, smirked and then laughed "sure why not, Firefly. I shouldn't even be surprised after Ami-chan asked me."
End flashback
Ami shook her head slightly, and as a small smile flitted across her face. She understood why Haruka was shocked; to think that their shy little Ami wanted to learn to fight. It would shock anyone in the right mind who knew her. She then recalled the other scouts surprise, when they found that in Minako's training sessions Ami and Hotaru could hold their own in the sessions.
Usagi, a week after Chaos's defeat had called a senshi meeting. Ami had arrived to the temple with Minako and Makoto at her heals. Upon their arrival they saw Usagi with Mamoru's arms around her whispering something in her ear. Usagi held a concerned look on her face. When they went to ask if she was all right Mamoru told them to wait for the others to have her explain why they were there. After everyone arrived, Usagi explained how she wished to still be a scout, but felt that it was time for Minako to take up her role as leader again. The outers and inners, except Hotaru and Ami, were in rage and protested greatly at this. They felt that Usagi should remain the leader till Crystal Tokyo was formed, and post one then. Usagi held to her decision, even at Minako's protest, and flatly told them that Minako was their leader in the past and is so now so they would have to work together. After saying that, she and Mamoru left, the outer scouts following soon after with Hotaru shooting Ami an apologetic glance before leaving. The inners told Minako they were happy to fallow her again and believed that the outers would soon come to their senses.
A couple weeks after (with Usagi's help), Minako had them training and held true to her past leadership abilities by getting all of the scouts there to train. She shocked the outers by her resolve in forcing them to go to the training sessions. She had them first learning martial arts, then using scenarios for the scouts. All the while she made sure to ask each scout their ideas and opinions, while telling them her reasons for what they were doing. She was the one to look into their powers and find out that they had more there then before and that they could change the fuka. Minako found that they had three power suits, the last being the fuka.
She enforced the idea of using the element of surprise in battle; she also instilled the idea of not giving away they were senshi to an enemy unless for distraction. In the training she had each of them learn stealth, and that they only had who was needed in battle come out and fight, leaving the others for a surprise attack later on. She had them developing their response time, power, and insight for battle in no time.
Along with training sessions, Minako had Ami keeping up allof the senshi's studies making her and themselves pull A's and B's. Ami also was teaching each of the senshi chess so they would strategic moves to use in battle. After a while of training like this she started a discussion with Usagi about having a second in command. Then she had a discussion with some of the other scouts, which led to Hotaru being nominated as the second.
Ami looked at the moon again and sighed after thinking about that she was reminded about why she was here. She felt there was something missing in her life. She felt they were missing something. She hated to admit it but she felt lost, like she was needed somewhere but was stuck where she could do nothing. Ami could tell the others felt it to, mainly the inners and Hotaru. They could see it in each other's eyes in their training sessions, but never openly discussed it as a group. Hotaru had told her earlier in the day that she felt something missing from their pasts, and felt that they were needed but she could not tell where.
Ami felt another chill in the air and pulled the woven blue blanket tighter as she watched the moon. Seeing a shooting star starting to cross in front of the moon she made a silent wish "I wish the senshi to be where we are needed…" she paused and softly added "and hopefully find the ones our hearts belong to." Ami blushed she had no idea why she added that last part other then it felt needed to complete the wish.
Sighing in unknown disappointment at the unanswered wish she watched the shooting star finish crossing the moon. She turned her head sharply as a silvery voice entered her mind, "you wish is granted." As the voice finished, Ami let out a screech as she found herself falling through an endless abyss.
Makoto's Apartment
Minako and Makoto gossiping about boys and their lives at Makoto's as they heard Ami's voice, "I wish the senshi to be where we are needed…" and her softly added "and hopefully find the ones our hearts belong to." They looked at each other with a 'what the hell just happened' look on their faces as they heard yet another voice "you wish is granted."
With that bit of wording, Makoto opened her mouth to speak only to give an intermingling shriek with Minako as they suddenly were falling.
Shinto Shrine
Rei had a strange gut feeling something was going to happen, and was planning to tell Minako and the others in their training session the next day. She found her self in front of the sacred fire trying to read what was going to happen. Just as she was about to give up the flames leapt high and she saw Ami looking at a shooting star cross the full moon. Frowning slightly, Rei wondered what this it meant until she heard Ami's wish and the silvery voice answer. Gasping surprise Rei didn't have time to pull away as the flames leapt up, engulfing her into their fiery depths. As she fell through the flames Rei could feel the raised ki of her fellow inner senshi and the senshi of death.
Hotaru's Room
Hotaru was dreaming, she kept seeing different faces in her sleep; she felt as if she should know them. As if they were important to future events and had been in past, but she could not figure out why. Her eyes shot open as Ami's voice flitted through her mind along with the answering one.
Hotaru clutched her eyes tight in fear and she let out a scream at a sudden loss of surface beneath her. A thought of irony flitted through her mind as she felt herself falling, "at least we're where we're needed."
Gates of Time
Pluto looked through the window of time "I hope they will be fine" she whispered. She felt a comforting hand of her love on her shoulder. She looked up into Chronos' face a smiled a sad smile "do you think they'll forgive me for what had to be done?" Chronos kissed her lightly and pulled away "they will understand love. When they do they will forgive you." he said softly "If they don't they will have to deal with me" he growled out jokingly. Sestuna smiled "I know they will, I just need it reinforced" she sighed, "I best go tell them where they are. Then I had better visit Horuka and Michiru and explain what is going on before Horuka kills."
"A Guardians work is never done" Chronos joked as she started to disappear. Pluto laughed slightly "don't we know it, love," she said in response as she left.
Chronos shook his head with a small smile pulling at his lips and muttered "oh yah, leave me to guard the gates while you go have fun."
To be continued
Authors Note (important)1. She forced them learn to use elements of surprise and not to give away their identities of sailor senshi unless they had to 1(hence the other two suits).
Meaning that I found it very stupid when they introduced them selves right off. It is always best to keep surprises for enemies, which is what Minako was referring to.
The two other suits are quite simple and are used for when they need a disguise form that not so obvious as their fuka. The first one is a down play of the second. Both suits have loose black silk like material for gi pant bottoms for all the senshi and low cut boots (much like Jupiter's boots except they are black). The tops are the only part that changes. The lower suits have white/silver tank tops with the senshi sign designed on its front with their senshi color. The higher form in a black version of the tank top and uses a silver color for their senshi sign. The higher form also has a silver pendent choker and circlet with their stone in the center and each stone contains their senshi sign. The lower forms have the choker. Then there is the fuka form. Lets just keep it easy it is the fuka, and they can sprout wings. There is one more level, and it is the princess level but I don't think I am using it so… I didn't write it into the story. It is well known by all of the senshi anyways.
Authors Note 2
Chronos is someone I just added so Setsuna could have someone. I felt bad that I was getting every one else someone and not her. So basically Chronos is also a Guardian of time (it's a big job and solitude would drive someone crazy). He helps watch over the gate when Setsuna has to do something in real time. The only thing is he can only watch and warn Setsuna if someone comes through time. He also watched over the senshi before they became warriors to make sure nothing happened to them. He had to stay hidden during the time of the Black Moon family to after Chaos so not to disturb time. Though now that loose ends are starting to be tied and the senshi are gaining past memories he wont have to hide again till Chibi-Usa is born in the future.
