Anira sat next to Hotaru at the table. After there spat in the bedroom, they decided to start over and Hotaru told him and her family about her day. They all began to nicely talk and as dinner rolled into Michiru's Kushidango dessert. Anira enjoyed there company very much as was a polite as he could be while talking to them, but tried very much to keep the conversation from turning to his background or the Sailors or what he knew, basically anything serious. Anira helped Michiru and the others clean up, even splashing water playfully at Hotaru, who giggled. After cleaning up the meal, they sat down together in the living room and settled down, watching the light dance of the fireplace and enjoying more conversation. Hotaru sat up near Anira on the floor with a small blanket. Haruka looked at Anira with a serious look. The young man knew it was coming.

"So, what do you know about them?"

Anira put his head in his hands then looked up at her. He began to tell them all of what he had told Sun and Polaris. About his home, Sirius and about The Brotherhood. What he left out, was how he knew Sirius, that he was the one who was seen killing Sun and Polaris, and the fact they were still alive. When he finished he sat back and waited.

"So Sirius is the one who killed Hike and Sakue?"

"No, a man named Procyon did it."

"Where is he now?"

"In hiding. He's trying to repent for what he did."

"He can never repent what he did."

"I know Procyon, he wanted what was best and he deeply regrets it."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE A FRIEND!"

"YES I DO!"

Haruka and Anira where on there feet, shooting rays of anger and rage between them.

"My best friend was killed by Sirius. Do you see this pouch around my neck? That's all I have to remember him by."

"I don't have ANYTHING to remember Hike by."

"You have her bike."

"No, she gave it to you." Haruka cried, now calmer but still angry.

"She may have given it, but I won't take it. It's yours."

Haruka stood there with tears beginning to come. Anira was as upset. The two were now more just upset at there pain then at eachother.

"Look, Sirius doesn't give a damn about anyone or anything. Procyon does. He follows Sirius not because he wants to, but because he needs to."

"Why? Why does he follow such a bringer of pain to so many?"

"Because Procyon is Sirius' younger brother."

"What?"

"Yes, but unlike Sirius, he weeps when he hurts someone, he fells pain when others are hurt by Sirius. His heart is dying."

"If his heart hurts so deeply, why did he kill them? Why did he kill Hike and Sakue?"

"To free them from seeing there sister hurt by the Senchi who once fought with them. He did it to save them from seeing her killed by you."

Those words hit Haruka hard. She sat back down on the couch like her body was made of bricks. Michiru sat back down next to her and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Comet, there sister Comet. The one who was taken by them. He didn't believe Sailor Moon could save her. He killed them....to keep her from killing them herself and from them to not see us....kill her."

"Your right, he did save them, but it still hurts." Hotaru said, standing up and looking at Anira with Sailor Saturn's eyes.

"We two have done horrible things against our fellow Senchi before. We hurt the people closest to us. Procyon isn't to blame here. Sirius is."

"No Michiru. Sirius is a victim as well. He knows not what he does. If you are to hate something, hate the game, not the pawns."

"Sometimes, it easier to hate the pawns. At least they are something we can see and something we can throw our anger against." Setsuna said.

"Then let's hate the pawn who is pulling the puppet's stings."

"You mean to guy that's controlling Comet?"

"Yes, Vega. He doesn't kill to save, he kills to murder. You take him out, you may be able to save Comet from death. Let Sun and Polaris death's be sacrifices for her soul."

"You are wise beyond the ages Anira. Are you sure you weren�t a Senchi is another life?"

"I'm no warrior. Just a simple young man who wants to keep other people from being hurt."

"You should fight with us."

"I do have some combat and sword fighting skill but you Senchi are another level I don't wish to reach."

"No." Haruka said standing up. "Hike said to keep him safe. Throwing him into battle is far from it. The enemy doesn't need another target."

"Maybe they do."

"Anira?"

"Look, you want to save Comet. Sometimes, the best place to hide is in the open."

Hotaru looked up at Anira and he smiled at her. Then Hotaru got a idea.

"I got it! Tuxedo Mask!"

"He's in America."

"No, I mean make Anira a new Tuxedo Mask. Make him the male wonder who helps the Senchi in there time of need."

"Tuxedo Mask? Who's he?"

"A fellow Senchi! Well, not in the Sailor sense. He's Sailor Moon's significant other and good friend to all of us. He helped us throughout all of our highs and lows."

"Sounds like pretty big shoes to fill."

"Actually," Michiru said, looking Anira up and down, "You might be just his size."

"Hike said hidden. H.I.D.D.E.N. I won't be any part of this."

"Oh come on Haruka. If you don't help, I'll keep Hike's bike."

"Hey! Oh okay."

"This is going to be so much fun! But, we can't call him Tuxedo Mask, that's already been used."

"I think I got one. Prince Regulus."

"I like it. Where did you get that from?"

"It was an old friend of mine."

Anira headed upsets with the four of them to begin there project.
