Sorry I'm updating kind of late. I just got home from rehersal and am supposed to be doing homework...but decided to update.Flipping to Zoisite…I don't own Sailor Moon, but I do own Kaneto who will never reappear in this story, but decided to put him in to move the plot along...Thank you for the reviews!

He was standing in a barren land. Nothing else could be seen except for the harsh jagged rocks and the billowing dust unsettled by the raging wind. The sky was dark, lit only by occasional lightning followed by deafening claps of thunder.

The Terran Kingdom.

Just like all those other times, three unknown and yet familiar words popped in his mind. His gut instincts told him that what he was seeing right now was the Terran Kingdom...and that the Terran Kingdom was once synonymous to home. Once he had called this god forsaken place his home.

"It's a shame isn't it?"

Keiichi jumped away from the figure that suddenly appeared behind him. He automatically lifted his hands up to create an energy ball before remembering he didn't have magic. So instead he assumed a fighting stance, ready to strike if and when the robed man made a wrong move.

"There is no need for that. I won't hurt you." The man looked away and waved his long staff at his surroundings. "I am here to welcome you back."

"Why? What happened to this place? Who are you?"

"I am the Master Keeper of this land."

Keiichi could only see the brief smile that was sent to him for the hood of the man's robe had covered half of his face. He was familiar but Keiichi could only utter the name that first came to his mind. "Kaneto-sama."

At that, the small smile had disappeared. No, he was not Kaneto for this man was taller than his memory of Kaneto, however vague it was.

"Perhaps I should make myself clearer. I come from the future Earth. There I am the Master Keeper, successor of Kaneto. Where we are now is the past the Terran Kingdom after the horrible battle with Queen Beryl."

"If you are not Kaneto-sama then who are you?"

"Who I am is of no importance. What's important is that you fulfill your destiny. The destiny that Fate denied you. And in order to do that, you must regain your memory back as a response to the condition."

"What destiny? What condition? Stop talking in circles!"

The man slammed the base of his staff on the ground and a lightning emerged from the sky. Keiichi closed his eyes from the bright light and when he opened them they were standing in a different place although the scenery had not changed. The emptiness was still there but something else caught his attention. There were movements coming from afar, fast closing in the distance between them.

He saw five girls, wearing mini-skirts, running away from something. Then they stopped and confronted their enemies, ready for battle. He couldn't help but wonder why they were fighting. They were too young and too beautiful to do such dangerous tasks. Especially the one holding the computer...the girl with hair the color of water.

"Ami," Keiichi whispered in recognition.

"Yes, Ami. The maiden chosen by the planet Mercury. She does not come from this land but she fights for it with all of her heart, mind and body. Look at her and you'll see the answer to your questions. What do you see?"

"The woman that I love," he replied automatically after he shoved his worries away. And then like a light bulb that was switched on in his head, he began to understand some things. "She is my destiny."

"Yes. That she is. But you still don't remember her, do you?"

"No. There's something familiar about her...something that connects me to her but I can't understand what it is. Can't remember who she is."

"That's because before you could remember her, you must remember who you are first." The man tapped the ground again and another light enveloped them. They were inside the palace of the Terran Kingdom. The room was big and looked like some indoor garden. Everything was beautiful and peaceful but that peace was shattered when Keiichi saw himself sitting on the side of a fountain, wearing armor and flowing cape.

"That's..."

"...you. You're previous self—Zoisite, a protector to Prince Endymion."

Memories of his past self started flowing in. His training...places he visited...people he met. Kaneto, Kazuyuki, Katsuji, Masaya...no, Kunzite, Nephrite & Jadeite. The Sailor Senshi—Usagi, Rei, Minako, Makoto...

"Ami."

He watched her approach his other self with caution. He remembered this scene quite clearly now. This was the last time he had seen the Maiden of Mercury before his mind was taken over. She had come to him, crying about never being strong enough to be a Sailor Senshi.

"As if she wasn't strong enough. She has the strength of heart, even though she was too innocent& naive."

"Aa," the man replied as they continued to watch the scene before them, "but it is those very traits that drew her to you."

It was true. There was that attraction but Zoisite had chosen to ignore it not just because there were other pressing matters at hand. She was just simply too young and too innocent for him. But his heart had overruled his mind. Why else would she have given her precious pendant to him during the battle with Princes Serenity?

"Perhaps you need to remember some more, Zoisite."

There was that bright light again and this time they were standing inside the Moon Kingdom's ballroom. Ami was there, dancing with an unnamed boy. Zoisite did not like the way he was looking at her but couldn't do anything about it except clench his fists in unease.

"You were beginning to care for her, weren't you?"

"What makes you say that?"

At that moment the ballroom began to crumble as Queen Beryl attacked. Zoisite had been brainwashed and watched as his other self fought against her. It took all of his willpower to not run in to stop it. He watched himself fight Ami, his heart tightening for he knew what was to come.

"Ami!" He yelled in unison with his other self and watched helplessly as she died in his arms.

"You wouldn't have been that distraught if you hadn't cared for her," the Master Keeper pointed out after a while. Another tap of his staff, another bright light, another place. This time they were on Earth. Ami wore her senshi outfit and fell to her seemingly death.

And just like before he wasn't there to protect or help her...to prevent any harm to come to her. He always came late. His other self came in just in time to catch her falling body. Keiichi moved away from the keeper's side and went to where his counterpart held Ami.

"Why," he heard her whisper to Zoisite.

He knelt on her other side and tried to brush the hair from her face. But as expected he was not able to touch her. His hand passed through her flesh as though he was some kind of ghost. So he contented himself in just saying the words his past self was too afraid to say even though he knew that they would fall on deaf ears.

"Because I love you, my Ami."

Flash!

He was till kneeling on the ground but his past self was already standing beside him. Not far from them was Princess Serenity lying unconscious onto Ami's lap as she struggled to stay alive. This was yet another special memory for this was when his past self decided to join the good side

Flash after flash his memory returned. Flash after flash his love for the blue haired girl came back in full force. He fought the enemies with her, all the while trying to protect her, though she tried to push him away.She was scared that he would get hurt, but what she didn't realize is that if she hadgotten hurt because of him, he would never forgivehimself.

What a fool he had been back then! He was nothing without her...just a mere automaton going about his duties as indicated in his program. It was like living a curse. Imagine his relief when he was on his deathbed.

He did not fear death. Instead he welcomed it with open arms. He could not stand living alone. His body may belong to the Terran Kingdom but his heart and mind belonged to the only woman he had ever loved.

"Do you remember everything now, Zoisite?"

They were no longer shifting from one memory to another. Instead they were floating in some dimension filled with vast white nothingness. He knew that he was somewhere between two realities—his past and present. Soon he'd be able to wake up.

"The condition...the contract...?"

"Ah yes, the contract. You see, there were four men who lost their hearts to the sailor senshi. When they died, these men fought long and hard to get back to them. And they found one...an ancient ritual that could harvest their souls and transport them to the place they desire most."

"My memories! They were a payment…the sacrifice for the ritual."

"Aa. And also a test. The condition was that your past memories will remain hidden until you meet the Sailor Senshi whom you desired. If the Gods deem that her love and your love are still intact then they will allow you to regain your memory and fulfill your destiny."

"Then she loves me?" Keiichi, now with the memory of Zoisite, said incredulously.

"That she does."

"She loves me." This time said in wonder.

"And now the contract has been completed." A soft wind came out of nowhere and was blowing the robed man away from him. "Wake up now, Zoisite. It's time to start your real life."

He saw the keeper's smile again and this time it was accompanied by a flash of green when the light briefly illuminated his face before enveloping him and completely disappeared.

Keiichi's looked around and saw that his surroundings were fading. He sent his thanks to the robed man before welcoming consciousness back again.

"Thank you, Kaneto."

Okay so they both remember, right? That doesn't mean it'll all be good from here on, though. Please RR
