Key:
Hai-yes, Iie-no, Nani-what, daijoubu kaare- you alright, Domo arigatou-thank you very much, Demo-but, naze-why.
Usagi looked at her hands. They were stained with blood. Not her own though. They were stained with that of her friends. They had died a few hours ago. Minako, herself, and the outers were the only ones who had survived. Everyone...everyone was gone...even her dear Mamaro. The one she was destined to be with, how could this have happened? Minako was sleeping cradling a baby Hotaru. Setsuna was looking out the window while leaning against the wall. Michiru and Haruka were sitting next to her. Michiru asleep on her lovers shoulder.
"Usagi...you should sleep. We will be leaving early tomorrow." Haruka whispered, carful not to wake the others. Usagi didn't answer. She just couldn't, not after all she had seen. "Usagi?" she heard Haruka ask from behind her. She turned to her, her tear stained cheeks mixed with dirt and blood. They were hiding out in a run down old house. Waiting till some of there energy to return.
Why? Why couldn't she heal her friends? It had always happened before. Was she asking to much of the crystal? Slowly she laid down on the moth eaten sheets and closed her eyes. Not really sleeping, but just kind of drifting between planes. Light soon poured through the poorly boarded window. She opened her puffy red eyes and propped her self up on her elbows. Minako was awake and was sitting on the bed stroking Hotaru's short black hair. Another thing was strange. Why wasn't Hotaru aging quiker? She had reached the physical age of two, but then just stopped there. She had died in battle, but being the scout of Rebirth, she came back.
But not the others. Usagi pushed these thoughts in the back of her mind. Some of her friends were still here, and she was still there leader. She had to lead them now, not go mad. But still she found it very hard to speak to them.
"Usagi? Are you ready to go?" she looked up at Setsuna who was already transformed. They were leaving this realm. It's world was dying, even though they had defeated there foe, it just didn't seem to be healing. 'I guess it was on its last strand. Nothing will ever be the same. Mama, Papa, and Shingo are all gone. None of us have any family left. Are we away?' she thought.
Was it right to leave this planet and it's people to die? They were it's protectors, they should go down with it. But Pluto had argued and told them they were needed elsewhere. But still did that make it right to sacrifice this planet, the one they had known all there lives? It wouldn't matter if she spoke up, the others weren't about to let there princess die.
Haruka picked up the sleeping Hotaru and walked over to the group. Minako and Usagi were the only ones who needed to transform. They did so quietly. They got in a circle, Pluto held her staff in the air, a garnet light forming inside the dark crystal. The light grew and soon consumed them. With one last look out the window, Usagi said good bye to this world and vanished.
Minako moaned. After playing a game of rock, paper, scissors with Haruka, she was forced to go food shopping. It was raining and she was soaking wet. Luckily all the important stuff were in bags, so really only the fruit and veggie's got wet. She waited for the light to turn and crossed the walk way. They had arrived in this place about five hours ago. Setsuna had arranged all there files, and other stuff, they were staying in a quiet little house not to far away from the school, and city.
"I hate the rain, it always has perfect timing for these kinds of things. It's like it knows we're all sad." she mumbled. She carried the two bags she had boughten in one hand, and wiped her bangs out of her eyes. "Man this really sucks." Beep beep! she turned to see a car honking at her. The light was still red, so what was he honking at?
"Hey move it!" a guy called poking his head out the window. Minako placed her hands on her hips.
"Well excuse me, Mister I-have-a-stick-up-my-ass. But the damn lights still red. So deal with it!" she yelled, kicking the car, which caused a little dent. She stomped off before the guy could say more. 'This place really bites.' "Um Miss daijoubu ka?" she heard a worried voice ask. She looked over her shoulder to see three people standing there with umbrella's. Two of them were guys, one with orange hair, the other a purplish grey. A girl with brown hair was in the middle of them. Minako nodded.
"Hai I'm fine. Just having a very bad day." she said sleepily. "Thanks for worrying though." she waved then continued on her walk. Suddenly she felt the rain stop hitting her and a shadow was cast over her head, she looked up to see the girls pink umbrella.
"Here how about you take this. It will at least keep you out of the rain. You'll catch a cold if you stay out here to long." Mina turned her tired eyes on the girl. Why was she so worried for her? They didn't even know each other. Hell they couldn't have known each other.
"Um thank you, but I couldn't take it. What if I never get a chance to return it?" she argued. But the girl just smiled and shook her head.
"Iie it's ok, really. I'll just buy a new one." "Well ok. Domo arigatou." Minako said giving her a small smile. The girl bowed and went to hide from the rain under her two friends umbrella's. She smiled. 'Maybe this planet isn't so bad.' she thought and returned home.
"HOTARU! You get back here!" Haruka yelled. Minako had just slipped inside the door to see a small purple and tan blur run past her. Haruka close behind. It was funny. Haruka a great racer in many sports, was having trouble catching a naked two year old. The woman finally caught the small girl, who struggled. "It's time for your bath!" "Nah! NAH!" Hotaru screamed trying to get out of her guardians grip.
"Yes it is. Now lets go." Haruka demanded. Hotaru just put on a angry pout as the blonde racer hurled her of to the bath. Setsuna walked out of there small kitchen "Oh your back. What did you get?" she asked. Minako set the bags down on the counter.
"Juice, milk, bread, eggs, cheese, meat, and cereal. A few fruits and veggtibles too." she said. Setsuna helped her put the food away. Michiru came out of one of the bedrooms.
"How's Usagi?" Minako asked. Worried for her princess.
"Not to good. She has a slight fever. Did you get any medicine?" she answered. Minako nodded and fished in her jacket pocket. She pulled a small box out and handed it to her. Setsuna gave her a glass of water and she took it to there ill leader.
Minako sighed, things just seemed to be getting worse for them. Suddenly a large SPLASH! Was heard and a certain purple haired girl came running past them. Cursing was heard in the bathroom. Haruka came out with a towel around her neck, her hair dripping wet. She held another towel in her hand, probably for Hotaru. "Who was really having the bath Haruka? You or Hotaru?" Setsuna teased. Haruka ignored her and got her self a glass of juice. The blur came by again and just as it was about to exit the kitchen a hand swooped her up.
Michiru walked in holding the small wet toddler. Haruka hmpthed, and handed her the towel. Michiru wrapped her up and proceeded to dry her hair.
"I'm surprised Haruka. Hotaru wasn't this much of a problem for you the first time she was reborn." the teal haired woman said.
"Well she also aged a lot faster then too, so I didn't have to put up with her terrible two's that much." Haruka moaned.
"I stopped her growth." Setsuna said. They all turned to her.
"Nani?" "I wanted her to actually live a normal life for once, or at least a childhood." she explained.
"Demo naze at this age?" Haruka whined to herself. Hotaru giggled at her guardians look. Michiru smiled down at her then went to get her dressed. Minako went to check on you Usagi, leaving the two oldest women alone.
"So what do we do now? Find jobs, go to school, live normally?" Haruka asked. Setsuna knew she wasn't being serious. Though she did have a reason to not be. They could never live normal lives, even if they never fought another enemy it would not erase there past. Even little Hotaru will eventually remember that horrible day, when four of there greatest friends died. "Well as to the first two yes, we do need jobs and Minako and Usagi have to finish school. But normality will never be in our lives. (ooh big word.)" the Senshi of Time said. The racer sighed. She knew she was right. Normality would never be a luxury they could have.
"Well I'm going to see if that little hellion is giving Mich-chan any problems." Haruka excused herself and went to check on them. Setsuna just went to the phone and ordered pizza for dinner.
"Usagi? How are you feeling?" Minako asked kneeling next to her friend. Usagi looked up at her, plastering a smile on her face.
"A little better, the pills haven't really taken to much of an effect yet, but I think there kicking in now." she explained. "Look at you your soaking wet. Go take a shower and change we don't need two sick senshi in this house." Minako smiled at her. Already she was starting to worry about the others. She nodded and got up to do as her princess had asked but was stopped at the door.
"By the way. Is Hotaru giving Haruka hard time?" Minako turned back to her giving her a sly grin.
"Now why would our little Hotaru be doing that." this earned her a giggle, and she went into the bathroom.
Usagi turned to look up at the yellow painted ceiling. It seemed they were all turning back to there old selves. Which was good in a way. They didn't dwell to much on the past as she was doing. She sighed and closed her eyes, getting the much needed sleep she had missed the other night.
