Back to Ami. I don't own Sailor Moon and thank you again for the reviews!

"Big sister Ami, we're here"

"Hm?" The blue haired girl snapped out of her reverie and noticed that they were standing in front of the orphanage gates. How they got there she had no idea for her mind was certainly crowded enough to not notice what had happened ever since they left the hospital.

"Are you OK, big sister? You look sick."

Ami smiled at the girl and crouched down to her level. "I'm fine, Mira-chan. I'm just thinking about something."

"Is it about that bad man in big brother Keiichi's room?"

"Mira! Don't say such things. You just met the man. Besides, he's Keiichi-san's brother so he can't be a bad man."

"I'm sorry, big sister. I just don't like him. He gives me the creeps." And as if to prove her point, Mira clutched her arms and shivered.

You and me both, Mira-chan. You and me both, Ami silently acknowledged the girl's words. Her mind is in a total state of confusion. She needed to sort out her thoughts...needed to make some sense of what had been happening for the past week.

"Go on inside now. It will soon be dinnertime. Just think about Keiichi-san and you'll forget about Kazuyuki-san."

"Are you going to pick me up tomorrow to see Keiichi-san again?"

Not yet! I can't see him...them just yet. "I'm sorry, Mira-chan. I have things to do tomorrow. Besides, you should spend some more time with your friends here. Don't you miss playing with them?"

"I guess so. The next day then?"

"We'll see. We'll see."

Thankfully, a bunch of kids had seen them and were calling out to Mira to join them. Having quickly forgotten their conversation, the girl gave Ami a quick hug before rushing to join her friends. Ami waved to her until the group of kids disappeared in the building. Her smile was promptly wiped off and was replaced by a frown.

She made her way through the streets, vaguely aware of the people bumping into her. Her actions and the directions she was taking were instinctive. Again, her mind was too preoccupied to notice other things. Soon she was on a bus that would take her to her part of the city. She tiredly sat down and let her thoughts take reign of her mind.

What the heck is happening?

Perhaps it was best to start from the beginning. So she met Keiichi—someone who was the exact duplicate of Zoisite except for the lack of memory. She had harbored the hope that both are the same but slowly that shine of hope became duller and duller. And just when she had finally convinced herself that Keiichi is not Zoisite, Fate decided to throw in another complication.

Make that three complications, she thought wryly. Kunzite, Nephrite and Jadeite. No. Kazuyuki, Katsuji and Masaya. It's just a coincidence. It has to be. But then how come they're all together? It's too much of a coincidence. There's no such thing as too much coincidences.

Another thing that confused her was Kazuyuki's manner towards her. His frowns and accusing glares had dug up deeply buried guilt. Guilt that plagued her for a long time due to Zoisite's death. She had already paid for that guilt. Why should she feel it again?

If Kazuyuki-san is really Kazuyuki-san and not his look alike counterpart then there's no reason to feel guilty. And there's no reason for him to be mad at me. I did nothing to him to earn such looks of animosity.

Then why did he look at me like that?

"Earth to Ami-chan...earth to Ami-chan...Snap out of it!"

"Eh?" Ami was jerked out of her reverie and looked to her right where the ringing in her ear was insistent. "Noriko-chan. What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong with me. You're the one who's been standing in front of the hospital door for at least three minutes. You forgot how to open a door?" Noriko rolled her eyes heavenward before opening the door.

"Hm? Oh yeah...door." Ami absentmindedly pushed the already opened door open even more. Noriko could just stare at her actions with a sweat drop and a frown.

The black-haired woman followed her cousin in and watched her preoccupied actions. Something was definitely wrong and she couldn't stand being quiet anymore. "Ami-chan, is something the matter?"

"Nothing. What makes you say that?"

"Because you just walked into the maternity ward."

"Oh my...! I am so sorry, Noriko-chan." Ami instantly walked out, but in doing that bumped into a nurse carrying many bottles. The nurse dropped all the bottles as Ami apologized and began to help clean up .

"Never mind, Miss." The nurse shot Noriko a look. She grabbed the blue-hair girl's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze before going to the elevator. When they walked out towards the cafeteria, Ami was back to her sullen self. Noriko let out a mushroom bubble sigh before proceeding to take her cousin's hand, keeping her from biting her nails.

"You shouldn't worry so much. You'll ruin that lovely manicure I gave you last night."

"Eh?" She just blinked at her three times.

"Come on, let's talk." Noriko dragged a semi-reluctant blue-haired girl to the cafeteria and pulled her beside her on the bench. "What's wrong, Ami-chan? You've been quite distracted lately..."

"Nothi—"

"...And don't tell me it's nothing. Something's definitely up and I are worried."

Should I tell her? Would she believe me? Am I going crazy?

"I..." Ami was interrupted again this time by the melodious bing of the elevator. Noriko looked up, grumbling about bad timing. They both watched as the door opened & Ami's face whiten & her jaw dropped to her chest.

"I'm looking for Mizuno Ami."

That voice! She thought before jumping up. "Katsuji."

"I'm sorry to drop in unannounced but there are some important things I need to discuss with you."

Ami invited Katsuji in then introduced Noriko.

They led him to the bench and invited him to sit down. Ami went to the kitchen to get some refreshments with Noriko following close behind.

"Okay, give! Who is he? Where and when did you meet him?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you later. We shouldn't keep him waiting." Ami went back to the other room with a fuming Noriko still behind her.

"Thank you, Ami-san. I'm really sorry to inconvenience you and your friend."

"It's not an inconvenience. But tell me, how did you know I'd be here and are you, uh, alone?"

"You don't have to worry. I left Kazuyuki at the hospital. My brother went with me but I told him to wait in the car. He can't hear what I have to say to you."

Her last words intrigued Ami so much that she had forgotten about her other questions. "What do you mean, Katsuji?"

Katsuji gave Ami a worried look. Noriko made a move to leave. "Perhaps I should go grab some dinner."

The girls watched Noriko leave and Ami turned to wait anxiously as Katsuji tried to organize his thoughts. After several long minutes she spoke up again. "I guess there's no way else to say this...Ami-san...I am who you think I am."

Ami looked at Katsuji before saying dubiously, "Nephrite?"

"Yes."

There was a stunned silence. But having suspected, hoped that this would happen, Ami managed to react fast. "Then Kazuyuki and Masaya..."

"Are the same Kunzite and Jadeite whom you've known. Or at least it holds true to their souls. Like me, they have been reincarnated in this world as a second chance."

"Keiichi-san..."

"Yes, Ami-san, Keiichi has Zoisite' soul."

Sapphire eyes were filled with a flood of tears. Tears of joy...tears that she made no effort to hold back. "Zoisite."

Nephrite could only nod while patting Ami's back.

Ami recovered & grinned. "Wait till the girls hear about this."

"You can't tell them."

"Eh? Why not? They've been missing you guys for so long!"

"There's something else you must know," Nephrite sighed. "The circumstances of how we were reincarnated are harder to understand.There's a contract since we died fighting between good & evil.

"Contract? Like selling one's soul to the devil to get one wish?"

"Something like that, although on more compassionate ground. I am not familiar of the ritual itself. All I know is that their memories of their past selves are locked away only to be released once destiny brings them with their loved ones together."

"Wait...how did you gain your memory back?"

Nephrite or Keiichi smiled sadly. "I just woke up one day and remembered. But I can't tell Makoto. She won't be ready."

Ami patted his back, sadly as well, tears forming. "I'm sorry...but Zoisite—Keiichi doesn't remember me," She broke into sobs, feeling horrible for changing the subject back to her.

"It's not that easy. It might take some time. You just have to be patient, Ami-san."

"You're right," she replied, wiping her tears away. "At least now I know that Keiichi is really Zoisite."

Taking a deep breath, she began again. "Okay, going to the others. What would happen if they know about the girls before they meet each other?"

"Then the contract would be broken and their souls may not bind. So please be careful not to say anything. Their happiness is at stake." Katsuji stood to leave, his mission accomplished.

Noriko came out carrying a tray of food. "I got food." But she was saddened as Katsuji stood up. "Where are you going?"

"My older cousin and little brother are waiting outside. It was nice meeting you, Noriko-san."

"Katsuji-san..."

"He'll be back." Ami escorted Katsuji to the door.

"I think I made a mess of things."

"No you didn't. You were just acting out of the goodness of your heart. Kat—Nephrite, are you happy now?"

"Very much so. I have to thank you girls for that. You gave me a chance to have a real life."

"We've always wanted to say how sorry we were for..."

"Stop it, Ami-san. It was never your fault—not then, not now."

"Thank you," Ami gave in to the urge and hugged the man. "For that and for telling me about Zoisite."

"You deserve happiness much more than I do. Just don't give up on Keiichi-kun. He'll remember, you'll see."

With those words he was gone. Ami stared at the elevator for a few minutes before going to the cafeteria where Noriko was waiting expectantly. "You brought all the food and you're not going to eat it."

"I'm not hungry." Noriko stood up. She gave out a sigh before facing Ami. "I really shouldn't be upset. Katsuji is such a hunk, though." She sighed dreamily

Ami began to cough. "Um Noriko-chan? What about Wataru?" She reminded the girl of her boyfriend

"I know," Noriko gave a dreamy smile. "But he is hot!"

Ami laughed. "I guess so."

"Spill out the details, Ami!"

"Well..."

But just as she was about to spill, Noriko's beeper went off. Noriko sighed another mushroom bubble, kissed Ami on the cheek, said goodbye and then walked out. Ami stayed behind and began eating, all the while thinking about that special someone.

Zoisite, I'll wait for you, my love.

Yeah, she knows who he is, but will he know who she is? Please RR
