"No!" whimpers Yukimura Keiko as the clutches of a nightmare hold her. At first the dream is filled with happy images of herself with unfamiliar people. But then the dream changes and she finds herself "facing a burning palace and the horrors of death" all around her. Horrific looking creatures surround her, but the scariest thing was a black mass of evil laughing at her, bearing a woman with flame-colored hair. "NOOOOO!!!!!!" screamed Keiko, as she shot up from her bed, sweaty from her nightmare. Why am I having this dream again? Keiko thought as she clutched her head. It was getting annoying by having this dream on a daily basis for several days. After getting a drink of water from the kitchen, Keiko tried restlessly sleep, but was awake the entire night.

-Next Day, After School

Keiko went home to help out with the ramen-ya as usual. During her day in school, strange feelings had plagued her, but before she could don her apron, her father beckoned her over to where he and Keiko's mother was standing...

"Keiko-chan, we have something to tell you," said Yukimura Shukumaru standing with his wife Suzuko.

"Nani, Otoosan?"

"There's something that we have waited to tell you for years. Now seeing your maturity, Okaasan and I feel that you have the right to know this and move on from this day."

Keiko nodded as she looked toward her parents questioningly. But she never expected to hear what her father said in the next few minutes...

"You're not our daughter. We adopted you when you were five, an orphan with amnesia. Suzuko had learned that she couldn't have children. We had gone to the orphanage afterwards and found you. The nurses in the orphanage called you Keiko that became your name. Your birthday is the day that we officially became your parents. We now won't mind if you decide to reject us, but we feel that you had the right to know, you will always be our sweet daughter no matter what happens," finished Shukumaru looking grey in the face. Suzuko was beside him, holding a hand to her mouth and weeping silent tears.

The said daughter looked at them, not wanting to truly believe what had just been said to her. Her eyes filled with tears as she nodded her head once. She then backed away...

The people whom she once believed were her parents didn't do anything as she turned and ran away, ignoring the hurt going through her heart.

An hour later, Keiko had just finished crying and then bumped into Urameshi Yusuke. Yusuke not noticing her red rimmed eyes made a few jokes about how bloated her body was. Keiko lost it as she smacked him, she screamed, "YUSUKE NO BAKA!"

Walking away, she left Yusuke standing there, stunned, and holding his hand to the red hand mark on his face.

"Kami-sama what trickery are you playing and at a time like this!" sobbed Keiko as she walked into the park, when she felt a person's presence over her shoulder. Turning around to look, she felt something sprinkled onto her face before she fell unconscious.

A tall green hair woman transported her away...

----------

A few blocks away, Yusuke was still standing there as he muttered, "What did I do wrong this time? Maybe, it's just PMS. I'll just talk to her when she's over her mood" Yusuke snickered as he started to walk toward a nearby arcade where he had met up with Kuwabara...

----------

Waking up her vision was blurry momentarily. Groggily Keiko slowly became aware of her surrounding and stifled a gasp as her jaw slowly became agape. Ruins surrounded her. The time of the day seemed to be night, but when Keiko looked upward, she saw something that looked like the blue and green appearance of earth. She roused from the stone beam that she had laid upon and an aching feeling settled on her body. Keiko felt a little light headed, but suddenly felt that she wasn't alone...

---------

"Hmmm. Unazuki-chan don't you see those person over there is playing real well," remarked Furuhata Motoki as his sister sat next to him. They were watching a black haired and orange haired youths playing the Sailor V video game. The orange haired guy had played earlier and had lost badly. Now they watched as the black haired boy beats Minako and Usagi's score and were very impressed.

"Teme. Urameshi, do you always have to beat me. Even in playing video games?!" roared Kuwabara as he grabbed a laughing Yusuke by his shirt. "

That's because you suck big time," grinned Yusuke.

"Why I ought."

Over at the cashier, Motoki silently gave off a chuckle as he realized that Minako and Usagai will be very pissed off, and at the current actions of now.

Suddenly both Reikai Tantei felt something and Kuwabara lets go of Yusuke. A weak youkai was gathering nearby. They walked out of the arcade and went to an empty field, where they were attacked by the youkai that was crying, "Antaeus-sama will reward me greatly for killing you, so ATTACK!"

"REI KEN" shouted Kuwabara as he sliced forward decapitating the youkai.

"How boring is that?" groused Yusuke, clearly disappointed that there weren't any more fight. What a weird day this was. First it was Keiko now this. During Kuwabara's decapitation, his thoughts had turned to Keiko and their last meeting. Something now tells him that it might not be PMS.

Since there was nothing else to do, Yusuke and Kuwbara walked over to the ramen-ya, Yusuke noticed that the store was closed. Alarmed, he went and knocked on the side door as a red-eyed Yukimura Shukumaru opened the door.

"Ossan...is Keiko around? I saw her earlier and was wondering what had happened."

"Keiko's not here, Yusuke. I don't think she'll be around here anymore."

Yusuke reeled back in shock before he angrily grabbed Shukumaru by his lapel.

"What do you mean that she's not going to be here anymore?"

"Keiko is not my daughter. We just told her the truth and she left. I don't know where she would go."

Yusuke was about to punch Shukumaru in the face, but Kuwabara held him back.

"Oi, Urameshi...the man's already down for the count. More important thing is to go and find Keiko-san."

-Moon

Keiko turned around and was faced with a figure's hologram. The figure wore a symmetric 2-bun hairstyle with long ponytails. Garbed in a long white dress, the majestic image also bore a crescent symbol on her forehead.

The lady then greeted her, "Welcome, Princess Kora of Earth. I trust you aren't having any trouble adjusting to seeing earth from a distance. For I am afraid the moon isn't as it used to be back in the Silver Millennium."

"Who are you and what do you want from me. There's no way I can believe something as preposterous as you said it. The moon has little gravity and no oxygen! For all I could know we could be in a building that has a realistic view of the earth in a space scene setting."

The woman gave a tinkling laugh and said, "Kora, you're having foolish fears at a time like now, your hidden powers is what enables you to adjust yourself to the present moon condition."

Keiko gritted her teeth and demanded, "What do you mean? Why are you calling me Kora? My name is Yukimura Keiko!"

"Calm down my dear, I meant no harm to you. I am the late Queen Selenity of the Moon Kingdom.

Keiko looked at the woman incredulously before she shook her head in disbelief. Backing away she said, "I don't know who you are, Queen Selenity or this Kora or something, but you've got the wrong girl."

"Then how can you explain the feeling of familiarity you have now or the dreams you were having?" asked Queen Selenity pointedly.

Keiko stopped backing away when the woman mentioned the dreams. She said angrily, "You're the person who's making me have those weird dreams! Take them back. My life already has enough problems without you causing more problems."

Selenity, shaking her head and answered melancholically, "Those aren't dreams, they are your past memories. I'm very sorry about your knowing the truth about the people who raised you, but that wasn't as the Fates had planned. This is destiny that must be fulfilled. An emergency has occurred and we need the power of Sailor Gaea. The sailor senshi needs you so you must take your rightful place as the guardian of earth!"

Keiko just stared at the Queen in disbelief. How could she be some sailor senshi of Earth? This was all too unbelievable. She had heard of the Sailor senshi, but they were no concern of hers, because she never had problems the involved the sailor senshi and there was the worrying about Yusuke that would have done it.

Selenity, seeing the confusion on Keiko's face gave a small smile and reached out to her. A beam of light emitted from her hand. As the light contacted her body, Keiko was filled with a familiar power. She felt her body shift and change.

When the transformation was complete, Keiko looked down at herself and was shocked to see that her clothes were different. Instead of her school uniform, a lovely silk half off-shoulder light turquoise dress molded itself to her body and brushed against her ankles, bearing a lovely trim on the skirt edge. A silver band bracelet with an engraved turquoise-color earth symbol appeared on her left hand. Her eyes caught the soft slippers on her feet--the same color as her dress.

Keiko then was flooded with memories, as if a dam had broken in her mind. A girl's past life during the Silver Millennium besieged Keiko's mind. Her eyes unconsciously filled up with tears and Keiko's heart joyously embraced the truth, but her mind furiously continued to resist. Yet in her soul, she knew that she was the Princess Kora...

-Back on earth; Juuban, Minato Ward, Tokyo

Chiba Mamoru woke and shot up from his bed, muttering, "Imoto?"

-Hikawa Jinja

Hino Rei was meditating at her sacred fire. She started when she saw the image of a female. Is this person a friend or foe? She was standing in front of the burning moon palace. She knew that she would have to mention this to the others as soon as possible, this new sailor could easily be connected with the new attacks they were having or could even be commanding these attacks.

-Tokyo Park

Haruka's car was parked as she said calmly to her companion, "The winds are changing again, kobito." "I don't know whether it is for the good or better, should we ask the others about this?" answered Michiru as she held up her mirror." They looked to see the image of a brown haired girl in a senshi suit. "Tomorrow then..."

---

Simultaneously, Urameshi Yusuke woke up on the other side of Tokyo to his mother's drunken snores. He had been spending several weeks looking for Keiko to no avail. Previously he had gone straight to Koemna the brat and literally started to choke the demi-god until he turned blue for information on the life of Keiko; whether she is dead or not. But there was no reply as Botan whacked him out of the office with an anger that was very unlike the normal cheerful death carrier that she had fainted; angered beyond belief by now Yusuke had gone back to Ningengai. Now getting out of bed, Yusuke padded into the kitchen, trying to figure out the vivid dream he just had. The setting of his dream had seemed to be happy, a dream with Keiko in it. But as the dream progressed, it had become darker and Keiko had screamed out, "ADON!" Then the dream ended.

End Prologue

1-Queen Selenity refers to Keiko as Kora, her past identity. Apologizes for if characters seem to be very ooc. I am trying to connect characters with their original personalities; however this is a fanfiction, so their most be a loophole connecting the different characters in the different series together. I'm working on making this story work.

I give my thanks and credit to Luriko-Ysabeth for helping me pre-read this copy and others who had read a really uncertain earlier copy, several years ago...
