Chapter 2: Revelations

When Ashley returned to her newly bought apartment, her feline friend awaited her, with an amused face. She was a beautiful orange cat with the crescent mark on her forehead, the same one Luna and Artemis bore. (Why it's a crescent will be explained in later chapters.)

"My, my, you're here not even a week and you already have had your first battle in Japan."

"Oh, can it, Cascade. Besides, it wasn't my battle, it was the scouts. I was merely to help." She remarked.

"Anyways, I suggest you get some sleep, you have school tomorrow."

"How? I didn't enroll yet." She asked, puzzled.

"I enrolled you at the Crossroads Junior High." Cascade replied with a smug look on her face.

"What! How?! You're only a cat!" she cried!

"Easy. Internet. You can do anything there."

'Ashley…is…my…sister…' Darien thought to himself. He walked up to the woman.

"Is there any more information on this file?" he asked, eager for more answers. The woman took the file and looked.

"I'm sorry. The rest of the information is with the doctor who sent the child here. I'm sorry." She answered.

"Thank you. By the way, where does this doctor work?" He returned the file to the woman.

"Crossroads District Hospital." (sorry for the weird name. I though of it out of the blue.) 'That's near Serena's school.' He thought. He nodded thanks and left the building. He got into his car and drove over the hospital.

"Everyone, we have a new student in our class. Ashley Smith. Everyone, make sure she is knows her way around," Ms. Haruna announced. "Ami!" she called. The blue hair girl attentively raised her hand. "You will help Ashley around the school. As for your seat…" she looked around the classroom for an empty seat. Her eyes stopped on a certain blonde…sleeping in class! "Serena! Sleeping again in class?!" she fumed as the blonde sat straight up. "Ashley, you will sit next to her." Normally Ms. Haruna wouldn't give Serena her usual detentions, but today she had a date and couldn't miss it.

At lunch, Serena had lunch with her friends like she usually did. Lita, Ami, Mina. Today, there was a new edition to their 'gang.' Ashley was sitting next to Serena, enjoying her peanut sandwich.

"So, Ashley, what was it like, living with your uncle?" asked Lita, with a mouthful of lunch in her mouth.

"It was ok…" she began, feeling uncomfortable. She decided to change the subject. "So, where's your friend, Raye?" looking around for the ebony haired girl that was at the arcade that day.

"Oh, she goes to school at the catholic school down the street." Answered Ami.

"You wanna go to the arcade after school? We always go there after school." Invited Serena.

"Yeah, my shift begins at 4." (School ended at 3:30)

Darien froze when he got to the door to the doctor's office. This was the same doctor that kept the big secret from him…that he had a family.

Flashback

"Where am I? Who am I?" asked a confused little boy. He was 6 years old. He sat in a hospital bed with a bandage around his head. A man with a white coat entered the room.

"Hello, Darien, I'm Dr. Mason. I'm sorry to say that you're parents have died in a car crash. You were the only survivor. I'm sorry. Do you remember any of that?" he asked, looking at the clipboard at the end of his bed.

"No, all I remember is that me and my sister…my sister! Is she dead?" he panicked.

"I think the accident must've affected your memories somehow. You have no sister, no siblings for that matter." The doctor replied, shakily.

End Flashback

Darien drew in a big breath and opened the door. A semi-old man stood up.

"Can I help you?" he asked, taking off his glasses.

"Yeah…I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions about a case, 12 years ago." He asked, as composed as he could be considering the circumstances.

"Sure. I'll try to tell you all I know, but it's been a while."

"Why didn't you tell Darien Shields he had a sister?" the doctor suddenly went pale.

"I..don't…know what..you're..t..talking about." He stuttered.

"Yes you do. I was in an accident 12 years ago, I suffered from amnesia and you told me I had no sister. You lied!" he banged his fists onto the table.

"I'm sorry, Darien, but your uncle specifically told me not to tell you about her. He didn't want you to start looking for her…" He finished.

"How did you know it was uncle?"

"I assumed…your sister ran up to him and cried for her mother and father."

"Assumed?! Do you know how much of a risk that is?! He could be a kidnapper for all you know! He could have a lollypop behind his back, urging the girl forward and taught her to call him her uncle!" Darien walked out of the room and slammed the door. The doctor sighed and sat in his chair. He knew Darien would tell his superiors about the incident and his job would be over.

After Darien left the doctor's office, he couldn't think about anything else. After all the years of loneliness, he finds out he has a sister. 'I have a sister…' the thought raced through his mind. After minutes of mindless wandering, he found himself at the arcade. He walked inside and sat down at his usual barstool.

"Hey, how can I help you?" Darien looked up. The voice didn't belong to Andrew. It was a feminine voice. He saw Ashley, standing across from him.

"I'm ok for now, thanks." He nodded. She smiled and walked over to Serena and her friends. They were laughing happily. 'They're enjoying themselves. Let's hope they get along once they find out Ashley's my sister. Well, let's get this over with.' He drew in a breath and got up. It would've been easier if the rest of the scouts weren't there. He was beginning to sweat. This was big. REALLY big. His and Ashley's future would change from this day on. But he knew he had to do it. If not for his stake, for his sister then. He walked over and faced Ashley.

"Ashley, I have a question for you," Ashley looked up. "When your parents died, are you positive that you were the only survivor?" he asked in a shaky voice. Ashley's eyes widened.

"Yeah…that's what my uncle…well…I don't know what to tell you!" tears strung from her eyes.

"What do you mean? Were you or weren't you!" Darien was very frustrated.

"Darien! What if she doesn't want to talk about it! Look at her!" cried Serena.

"Serena. You don't understand. Depending on her answer could change the rest of our lives." Darien answered calmly.

"You mean…she could be…" Ami was putting all of this together.

"Yes. Today, I went to the hospital I was sent to the night of the accident. The doctor there told me that I wasn't the only survivor. I had a sister." He confessed. Everyone gasped.

"You mean…" Ashley finally spoke.

"Yes. I am your older brother, Darien. I had amnesia and couldn't remember…even you. I mentioned you, but the doctor said it was because of the accident affected my brain."

"It's not true. I am your sister. I remember hat night as if it were yesterday."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"My uncle forbade me to mention you at all, or else …he would kick me out of the house. It was because of my aunt, she was the nice one of the house. She showed me a picture of you, once. My uncle wasn't the nicest guy in the world. I always got the punishment for things I didn't do, because I was the one who was easiest to blame. He would make me clean and make dinner every night. It was endless work. (Sorry for the Cinderella-ness of it.) I didn't try to look for you because I knew my uncle would find out and kick me out." Tears were now streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"Well, all that matters is Darien has a sister and Ashley has reunited with her brother." Said Lita.

"Darien! I didn't know you had a sister!" cried Andrew. He put a hand onto Darien's shoulder. He was very happy for his friend. Andrew was one of Darien's few friends he has told his past about. He was glad Darien has someone to share his pains with, other than his girlfriend. "We should throw a congratulations party for you two!"

"Yeah! We should! It'll be the best party ever!" squealed Serena. Darien smiled and looked down to his newfound sister. He knew his life would never be so lonely anymore.
