The number one spot for losing one's soul.

Elphie Muse: Um...you steal souls?

No...it's just a saying...moving on...

I hope everyone likes this chapter. Things will start to pick up for a bit then it'll be the end ofthis particular story. After this is all up the sequel will be up. Which is finished by the way and I am now working on the third part of the series. How sweet is that?

Elphie Muse: You're such a kind author to update so regularly.

I know. Yet people still don't review as much as I would like...

Elphie Muse:Review to make the author happy!

Checking...checking...checking...nope. Still not mine...so sad...

Last time on Eternal Senshi I: Rise of the Vampires...

Kaze grunted as a loud thud echoed throughout the room. "GO!" he ordered. The Senshi reluctantly retreated, knowing it was their only chance for survival. Kaze held the door for several more minutes before he leapt away. He turned and drew his sword, determination in his eyes as vampires came swarming out.

"Come and get me," he said in a low voice. "Sky Sword Blaster!" After the energy attack he charged in and was immediately surrounded by the vampires.

"We have to go back," Usagi said determinedly.

"We can't," Haruka said.

"Kaze could still be alive! We need to go save him!" Usagi persisted.

"He gave his life for us so we could find a way to stop Ketsuki once and for all," Haruka returned. "I won't let you throw your life away just to save one person when the fate of the world is at stake."

"How can you be so heartless?" Usagi demanded, a tear sliding down her face.

"Usagi…" Seiya began, trying to calm the Moon Princess down.

"No! She cares more about missions and facing death than saving her own brother! She doesn't care about anything!" Usagi snapped.

Haruka clenched her fists, Usagi's words stinging in her mind. "Right…" she said softly. "Maybe I do care more about missions and fighting…more than I should…I am selfish in that aspect. I'll do whatever I have to so that the Earth is safe…demo… demo…Kaze…Sky would do the same thing." She bowed her head. "As kids…before he vanished…we were inseparable…we're alike in more ways than one. Ketsuki was his twin in the Silver Millennium, but that never mattered to him. He still did what he had to…he taught me that…and in this life he's my twin and he taught me that again."

She turned to the Senshi and they were surprised to see tears falling from the tough Wind Senshi. "You think I don't care…that I feel nothing when people are hurt… but I do." She looked at Usagi. "Before we realized who you were and you had your heart crystal stolen…I seriously contemplated stopping the Daimon from stealing your heart crystal…"

"But you didn't," Minako pointed out.

"I know. Because I think somewhere deep down I knew that everything would turn out okay. And it did." She closed her eyes. "Sky is the only family I have left. My parents are dead…died when I was little. You guys are like family to me…demo…Sky is my family…you think it was easy for me to leave him in that mansion? You try to regain a long lost family member only to lose them again and then we'll talk."

Haruka glared at the Senshi. "We might be friends, but you know nothing of how I feel!" She rose to her feet and stormed out of the apartment.

"Haruka…" Michiru whispered.

The Wind Senshi stood near the cliff's edge, her eyes red rimmed from crying. She closed her eyes, the distant sound of waves striking the beach reaching her eyes from the gentle sea breeze. She let the wind caress her face.

An arm wrapped around Haruka's shoulders. Without a word Haruka embraced Michiru, holding onto her as though she were the only thing that mattered in the world. The aqua haired Senshi held Haruka tightly. She gently stroked the blonde's back, knowing how hard it was for Haruka to have admitted how she felt.

"Kaze knew what he was doing," Michiru finally said.

"That doesn't make it easier," Haruka whispered.

"Losing someone you love is never easy Haruka," Michiru said. "Give the others time," she suggested.

Haruka nodded. "I know. It's just hard to hear them talk about me like that."

"You've never really given them a chance to know the real you Haruka," Michiru pointed out.

Haruka smiled softly. "What would I do without you?" she asked.

Michiru smiled back. "Be hopelessly lost."

"I ask for directions," Haruka muttered. Michiru giggled and the two embraced.

"We were starting to get worried," Ami said.

"Gomen. I just needed to get my thoughts together," Haruka said.

"Sumimasen Haruka-san," Usagi said with a bow. "I shouldn't have said those things," she apologized.

"It's all right koneko-chan," Haruka said. (Little Kitten)

"Hey! Anyone alive in there!" a familiar voice called.

Rei got up and opened the door to Haruka and Michiru's apartment. "Taiki! Yaten, what are…oh my god!"

The others were immediately at the door. "What's…" Haruka fell silent when she saw what was in the other two Starlight's arms. "Sky!" she exclaimed.

"We found him staggering down the hall," Taiki said.

"Lay him down on the couch!" Michiru ordered.

Haruka knelt down next to her twin. "Sky? Can you hear me?" she asked.

He weakly opened his eyes. "Haruka…" he whispered weakly.

"What happened to him?" Makoto asked.

Ami had her mini computer flipped open. "He's human…" she said after a moment in a stunned voice.

"What else would he be?" Yaten snorted.

"He was half vampire," Seiya said.

"But…he's been hit before with my healing attack and it didn't phase him," Usagi said in confusion.

"Ketsuki…she…summoned the spirits of the ancient vampires…they…tore out… my vampire half…" Sky struggled to say.

"That sounds…disgusting…" Minako said.

"Yeah but…what's her plan? Why tear out Sky's vampire half?" Setsuna asked.

"I don't know…I'm just grateful…I'm not her brother anymore…that was…very creepy," Sky said.

"What?" Taiki and Yaten demanded. Seiya quickly filled them in on what had been going on for the past two and a half months.

"So now he has no powers?" Taiki asked.

"That's our best guess," Ami confirmed.

"So what's our next move?" Makoto asked.

"Get ready for a final battle," Sky said. "Whatever Ketsuki is planning, it's gonna happen soon."

"But you are sitting out of this fight," Makoto said before Haruka could.

"Demo…" he began.

"You don't have any of the strengths you had as a half vampire Sky. This time, you really could die," Haruka said.

"And as the Moon Princess and future Neo Queen Serenity, I order it," Usagi said in a firm voice.

"Fine," he grumbled. "Just don't get killed. If any of you die, I'll kill you myself," he muttered, his arms folded over his chest.

"Deal," Haruka agreed with a smile. A scream sounded outside and they ran to the balcony and looked down. "Vampires!" Haruka exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Usagi said.

"Where'd Sky go?" Seiya asked, looking at the deserted couch.

"That baka!" Haruka snapped, knowing immediately where he went. "Uranus Crystal Power! Make UP!" She ran to the balcony and leapt off, landing lightly on the ground as Sky came out of the building. "The hell do you think you're doing?" she demanded of her brother.

"My duty," he said. "I don't care if I have powers or not. I'm still gonna fight!"

The vampire snarled and leapt in. Uranus grabbed her Space Sword and started to swing it at the vampire when a blinding flash of light emitted behind her. The vampire was instantly vaporized. Uranus turned and her eyes widened.

As the light faded she saw a figure in black leather boots, black baggy pants, and a white baggy long sleeve shirt under a dark midnight navy blue leather tunic. A belt was strapped around his waist, a sheath for a sword hanging on his left hip. A pair of black gloves covered his hands and a gold band rested around his head. Several gold hoop earrings hung from his ears, more in the left than in the right. Imprinted on the back of the leather tunic was the symbol of Uranus in gold.

"Hailing from the planet of wind and sky, I am Kaze, Guardian of Uranus!" He pulled his sword free and leveled it at a newcomer vampire. "Run home to your mistress and tell her the Guardian has at last arrived."

The vampire saw the hard look in Kaze's green eyes. She took off running, bolting past the startled Senshi and Starlights. Kaze easily spun his sword and sheathed it. He turned to Sailor Moon and bowed.

"Kaze? Is that…you?" Jupiter asked.

"It is," he said. "Whether she knows it or not, Ketsuki removed the barrier that kept me from my true destiny."

"Your true destiny?" Mars repeated.

Kaze nodded. "Have you heard of beings known as Guardians?"

"They are legends, brothers to the Sailor Senshi. They are born as twins to the Sailor Senshi, which is actually quite rare," Pluto said. "While the Sailor Senshi protected the Moon Kingdom and Silver Millennium, the Guardians protected the Moon Family. But…Dracul killed them all."

"In the time of the Silver Millennium," Kaze corrected. He smiled. "Destiny and fate can be funny, ne?" he chuckled.

"So, shall we go vampire hunting?" Uranus asked.

"We're ready," Jupiter said.

"Let's show those bloodsuckers who they're messing with!" Mars exclaimed.

"They'll regret awakening," Venus added.

"We'll make them sorry," Mercury agreed.

"For attacking the city…" Neptune began.

"And our friends…" Saturn added.

"And loved ones…" Pluto continued.

"We'll never forgive them," Moon finished.

"And even though we're not from this solar system…" Fighter began.

"We'll fight with you," Healer said.

"Because you're our friends," Maker added.

Kaze looked at the group. "All of you come from different backgrounds, even Uranus and me. Demo…nothing will beat us if we band together as one." They all nodded, determinations in their eyes.

The groundstarted to shake violently. "What's going on?" Moon cried.

Kaze leapt up into the air and made his way to the roof. The others followed. What they saw shocked them to the core. "What…what is that?" Mercury asked. A large black gate had risen in the middle of the city.

"Something I'd hoped never to see again…" Kaze said softly. "If Ketsuki opens it…we're all doomed."

"We've died before," Uranus said.

Kaze shook his head. "You won't die. That gate…it leads to hell." Everyone stared at him in shock and disbelief.

Things are coming to a climax. How exciting! And I apologize for the cheesy sounding speech the Senshi gave...please don't kill me!

But will the Senshi succeed in saving the world and returning the gate to the earth? Or will the gate open, spilling the forces of hell into our world? Why am I asking you questions that you don't know the answer to? Well because I can...hehe...
