Chapter 5

I awoke to the noises of the customers pitter-pattering around in the jewelry store downstairs. It didn't bother me much. I was used to it. Looking at my clock, I noticed it read 11:30 am. In a mad rush and horrid panic I rushed to the bathroom to get my shower and hoped I would make it on time.

Halfway through, I heard the phone ringing...and ringing...and ringing. Oh, how that phone was irritating right now. It stopped and I breathed a sigh of relief, well until I heard the message.

"Naru, where are you, it's fifteen minutes to twelve! We need you here!"

My face went white, I am sure of that. I finished rinsing and drying off and put on my three quarter sleeve pink top with my purple skirt. I was sure that I looked like an Easter egg. Barely grabbing a piece of toast that mom had left on the counter; I dashed out of that store at about thirty miles an hour. I looked at my watch. It was five to and I was still only halfway there. Closing my eyes, I imagined myself where I was supposed to be. Continuously running, I was, until I felt as though I was running on nothingness. When I opened my eyes, I was standing next to the senshi, down from the podium, and all were giving me odd looks.

"How in the..." Mina began.

"Not now, Minako. We'll deal with this later." Ami said, matter-of-factly.

"Um, just one problem guys." I said. "I don't know my transformation phrase."

Suddenly it came to me. "Never mind," I said, and proceeded to yell out "Eos Moon Power!"

The transformation was elegant. I felt the ribbons surrounding me and the incredible warmth I felt in my heart. It must have been the power of the ginzuishou. I finished in my standing pose, which was with one hand on my hip, and the other straight up. I noticed that I was wearing a sailor fuku which was colored a cross between aquamarine and sea green and had a bow that was colored a pale yellow. I wore high heeled shoes with silver lining around them and a crescent moon on the tip. I also noticed that my gloves were wrist gloves and had a silver lining about them.

"Wow." I breathed. "That was exhilarating!"

"Sailor Eos, you're on!" Ami whispered, and I walked up to the podium.

Everything went silent. Nervous, but still pushing ahead, I began.

"Hello, minna-san. I guess you're wondering why I called this press conference. First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Sailor Senshi of the dawn, Sailor Eos. Sailor Moon is my sister. I am here today to reveal to you an important bit of news. This may be a shocking revelation, so please brace yourselves. The Sailor Senshi, Sailors Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, have returned to us." I noticed as everyone gasped. "I know that there was a funeral held for them recently, but I just found out that they are alive myself not too long ago."

"If you are indeed a Sailor Senshi, then why weren't you at the funeral?" asked an intrepid reporter.

"I was only awakened when they returned. You see, I didn't know I was a senshi."

The crowd nodded. Just then, the senshi walked up onto the stage. Mercury took to the podium.

"Hello minna-san. We called this press conference to thank you for your kind act in conducting a funeral in memory of us, and to inform you that we are here again. To explain, we were in a cold void in space for quite some time. It was called Sagittarius Zero Star. There we were rescued and brought back by a being called Queen Serenity. We would like to let everyone know that as we are here, we will again take our place as the protectors of Tokyo and Sailor Eos. Arigato."

With that, Ami stepped down from the podium, and then bowed. She smiled at me as if to welcome me into a new life, one which I hadn't been a part of before. I returned the smile.

Rei stepped up. "We must be going now. Again, we would like to thank everyone for showing up today to hear us. Arigato."

With that, we left the stage and going behind a building, we de-transformed.

Now that that was over, all eyes focused on me.

"So how did you do that teleporting thing?" Mina-chan asked me.

"I...I don't know. I just closed my eyes and wished to be here."

All eyes were on me.

"Would you stop looking at me like that?" I asked.

All calmed down. "Sorry Naru," Ami apologized. "We're just used to only the generals of chaos being able to teleport."

"It's okay. I just thought that you guys were going to kill me for a minute!" I exclaimed. We all shared a nervous laugh.

"So did you guys tell your relatives that you're sailor senshi yet?" I asked. "Surely they must have figured it out by now."

I wished that I hadn't asked that question. Rei only had her grandpa and Ami her mother, but Mina-chan and Mako-chan's parents had died. Relatives were a sad subject, so I changed it.

"So, do you want to go to the arcade?" I asked.

Before I heard an answer, I saw a girl our age running down the road. She had an odango hairstyle just like...

My heart began to beat faster and faster and the ginzuishou began to pulsate. "Usagi?" I thought.

I dashed down the road. Everything was swirling around me. All I noticed was the blond haired girl running ahead of me and the pulsating white light of my ginzuishou.

"Usagi!" I cried out, to no avail. I received no answer. The emotions that overcame me were incredible. Were these pent up emotions from the Silver Millennium?

"Usagi!" I cried out again, in desperation, reaching out as if I could will her to stop running.

Mako and Ami caught up with me and held me back.

"It's not her, Naru." Ami whispered in my ear to calm me.

Tears were coming from my eyes. I knew it was her! It had to be!

"Usagi!" I tried once more.

The girl stopped and turned around. She had Usagi's exact features. She walked up to me.

"Were you calling out to me?" she asked.

"Usagi? Is it really you?" I asked.

"Who's Usagi? My name's Hikari!" she said, glancing at me.

"M-My name's Naru." I stuttered. "Nice to meet you."

Suddenly a dark, handsome figure walked up behind her. I went pale. It was Mamoru.

"Chiba-san?" I asked.

He looked at me. His eyes whispered and told me everything, yet told me nothing. They seemed as though they wanted to tell me, but couldn't. I knew it was Mamoru, and the girl was Usagi. I could see it hidden beneath.

"My name's Kin. Nice to meet you," He offered.

I gasped. Kin meant golden - the golden crystal - Mamoru's crystal. Queen Serenity had told me of its existence.

"Mamoru, Usagi," I thought. "What has happened to you?"
