Usagi woke the next morning to find no one in the room with her, she sighed looking over at the clock that read ten in the morning, she groaned before realizing where she was exactly. The door opened revealing Rei with a tray carrying two cups of orange juice with two plates both carrying a helping of eggs, three pancakes, and five sausages, Usagi's mouth watered as the smell entered her nose.

"Where's Naraku?" Usagi asked sitting up and helping Rei with the tray of food before sitting back on the bed.

"He left and said he'd be back by sunset to take us to Feudal Japan to retrieve those shards for him, the others stopped by earlier while you were sleep, Ami left some information on the jewel Naraku is looking for," Rei said as she took the food off the tray.

"Like what?" Usagi asked eating a spoonful of eggs with a delightful look in her eyes.

"The jewel he's looking for is the Shikon Jewel, he had a few fragment and gave us one, and apparently the jewel was shattered in a battle between him and this Inuyasha guy. So anyone who possesses a shard of the Shikon Jewel gets at least twenty times stronger than they normally are, but the Shikon jewel is suppose to belong to you," Rei said before sipping some of her orange juice.

"What? I don't understand Rei, I already have my crystal, what would I need a Shikon jewel for?" Usagi asked looking up from her food.

"The Shikon jewel and the crystal used to be one thing, the crystal allowed the user to pour energy into it and the Shikon jewel provided the user with extra energy so they wouldn't die every time they used it. Setsuna told us about a war before you were born, your mother gave your father the Shikon jewel to help him be strong enough to defeat the enemy and she kept the crystal," Rei said adding salt to her eggs.

"The war must've went longer than expected, I don't even remember anyone mentioning the word 'Father' around me," Usagi said sadly playing with her eggs.

"It was for the best hime, we banned the word father from you so you wouldn't question about yours, you never learned what a father was until you were reborn with one," Setsuna said coming in the room.

"Setsuna, is Naraku really my father?" Usagi asked looking up at her.

"From what I have seen, I cannot decided, he doesn't look much like the person I remember but with eternal youth your body changes to not make anyone suspicious, but he possesses the knowledge of things that only, the queen, myself and the king would know of, he has a golden crescent moon symbol and he has the eyes I remember your mother describing so vividly once upon a time," Setsuna said allowing a small smile to grace her features.

"His eyes remind me of Chibi-Usa's, I hope she'll keep them when she's born," Usagi said smiling.

The rest of the morning went smoothly, by the afternoon they were riding down the street with Haruka and Michiru after Setsuna went back to the time gates, the ride was in silence as Haruka's puffy red eyes looked back at Usagi from the rearview mirror.

When they reached their destination they got out and went inside the store with a sale paper and a shopping cart, Usagi pushed the cart with the excited Hotaru in the seat.

"Well, first I think a first Aid kit will help, in Feudal Japan quite a few demons lived and it takes a full night's rest for a senshi to be healed completely but with a little help from modern medicine the time is cut in half," Michiru said grabbing three first Aid kits.

"Maybe one more just for good measure," Haruka said putting in three more before walking ahead with her hands shoved in her pockets and her head hung.

"Don't mind her girls, she's just a little depressed about the news, we spent so many years looking for you and when we found you we swore to protect you until the end of time," Michiru said grabbing another first Aid kit.

Haruka came from the corner carrying some of their favorite treats and a few magazines; she placed them in before going down another isle to search for more things. Usagi followed her quickly pushing the cart quickly with Rei beside her when her foot caught hold of a hoop in a rug making her fall face forward as an orange went flying past barely missing her. Rei caught the cart before it went off before helping her up with a soft smile; Usagi removed a few items of dust as Rei shook her head taking control of the cart.

"You'll never change Usagi," Rei said smiling as she turned down the isle Haruka had gone.

They walked through the market getting everything they would need before going to the register, once everything was paid for they bagged it up and took it to Rei's for proper placement. Ami, Minako, and Makoto sat waiting for them with sadness upon their faces as their princess and fellow senshi were leaving them.

Two large bags were placed and everything was separated for each to carry in case they were to separate, the last hour was spent in silence between Rei and Usagi as the other departed not wanting to stop their friends from doing what they were destined to do.

Naraku walked up the steps slowly wearing a white baboon skin that covered his entire body except his hands with a wooden staff, he led them in the back of the shrine where hidden in the forest a well lied dry.

He jumped through and they followed cautiously, Rei grabbed Usagi's hand before jumping so they wouldn't be separated, they blinked only for a second and found themselves in a beautiful forest where hair was everywhere. Usagi reached out to touch it when Rei stopped her pointing to a leaf that fell upon the hair and spilt in two.

"I must go and rest now, bringing people through a portal is stressful work," Naraku said before jumping off into the trees.

"We'll have to be careful Usagi, these threads could be hair or a web, either way I bet there's something waiting on the other end," Rei said glaring at the hairs in front of them.

"Rei, I feel something, its coming from over there," Usagi said pointing to the east where only one strand came from.

"I think that might be where the demon is, c'mon, let's go heck it out," Rei said and the two began following the single strand of hair through the forest.

"My, my, what fabulous golden hair you have, it smells so nice and its so soft," a voice said from behind picking up one of Usagi's Odangos making her jump.

"Oh, we didn't notice you," Rei said trying to be polite.

"It's so soft and you don't have spilt hairs, it's so long and pretty, may I see it at its full length?" the girl asked smiling brightly.

"Oh, your hair smells even better and it's the most lovely shade of raven I've ever seen," she said going to Rei's hair but back to Usagi's.

Rei stared at the girl curiously, she looked human enough but she sensed a strong aura coming from her, an evil aura, she stared at Usagi's hair with desire and awe pressing it against her face making Usagi blush.

"Get away from her demon!" Rei shouted readying her flame sniper attack at the girl, the girl smirked and did a back flip landing on a strand of hair.

"Fine, if you want to do it the hard way, then let's do it the hard way," she said raising a hand, Usagi was instantly wrapped in the hair, she cried out as the hair slightly cut her. "Hmm, I can't kill you yet, I wouldn't want to put blood on that pretty hair of yours, I shall scalp you proper."

All the strands let go except for one and Usagi was pulled away when Rei grabbed the strand only to cut her hands.

"Rei use your fire," Usagi shouted as the hair tightened around her.

"Mars fire ignite," Rei shouted and watched as the fire spread upward and around Usagi, the girl cried out as the fire reached her arm scorching her slightly.

"I'll be back," she growled before jumping off and Usagi smiled hugging Rei.

"Come on Usagi, we have to find someplace safe to spend the night, that demon will come back for our hair," Rei said staring Usagi in the eyes.
